Proposed Soda Tax Inflames Former Punch-Out!! Star

Soda Popinski has become the public face for the soda industry in resisting a proposed tax on soda. It is staggering. The average American consumes about 50 gallons of sugary drinks every year, a significant contribution to obesity in the U.S. Authors of the proposed tax believe it will reduce consumption of soda pop, reducing obesity rates and providing funds to cover obesity related medical costs.

Popinski was recently flown over from Russia in a private jet paid for by Pepsico. The former Punch-Out!! boxing star is attempting to organize 1,000,000 citizens to throw empty aluminum cans and plastic bottles into Boston Harbor late this month. Police have made it clear that anyone throwing cans into the harbor will be cited for littering. Soda Party members have lashed out saying that police threats represent the government's attempts to trample over citizens' rights.

Tea Party Faction Has Unkind Words for Lindsey Graham

You know I try to be pretty diplomatic and give props to people on both sides of the political fence when I think it is deserved. But honestly, you people ("What do you mean by you people?") who don't seem to ever tire of throwing around rocks like "socialist," "communist" or "Hitler" need to listen to yourselves. You are more than a little on the wrong side of history. You are the proverbial syphilis on the baby maker, and not the good kind.

When you guys are calling Lindsey Graham (super-con Senator from South Carolina) a "traitor" or "democrat in drag" because he has teamed up with John Kerry in addressing things like climate, fossil fuel emissions and energy independence, do you guys realize how out there you sound - and we're talking Kuiper Belt level out there? I mean I can go around shouting that the 1990 Broncos were robbed by the refs against the 49ers in Superbowl XXIV (55-10), but me shouting doesn't make it anywhere near reality.


Seriously, this means We the (sane) People need to shout back when we hear this sort of nonsense being spewed. I don't know about you, but I'm embarrassed to have these idiots walking around thinking their nutbar beliefs hold any sort of truth. Let's replace this zealotry with a little common sense.

Here is the two minute youtube link for those willing to ruin their day by watching some of the worst that our citizenry has to offer.

What the Liberal Media Doesn't Tell You

I'm hearing today a crazy story and wondering where the "liberal media" was in reporting this?!

In 1999 a monumental incident happened in Norway that really alters a person's fundamental perceptions about life and death. A skier slid down a mountain and ended up unconscious in a frigid stream. Her friends could not pull her out from the ice with their feeble tools. The decision was made to leave her in the ice and get help. An hour and a half later she was retrieved by a rescue team and her body temperature was 50-some degrees. The skier was warmed up and resuscitation was attempted at the hospital three hours later. Shockingly, the skier's heart pulsed.

After a year of paralysis, the skier is today back skiing and physically okay.

But it really makes you wonder, doesn't it, where the media was 10 years ago in covering this story? I never heard it!

When are people finally going to wake up and take back our country?!
