Mocking Poor People? Enter Jon Stewart!
Stewart does a great job here showing how the logical fallacy of misleading vividness is the foundation for most arguments from the Right. He also reminds us who the real recipients are of welfare in this country:)

A Lesson Learned
The video below completely demolishes every pro gun argument I have ever heard and shows it to be exactly what it is: a paranoid fantasy.

I Guess I Am Ignorant
Huh. I had no idea that the ATF can't require gun dealers to conduct an inventory to account for lost or stolen guns. Or that there were bills that refuse to put mentally disturbed individuals on do not buy lists. Or that there are laws exempting gun makers from any kind of accountability for their product.
I guess I am ignorant.
But the best line?
Their paranoid fear of a possible dystopic future prevents us from addressing our actual dystopic present.
To me, this is the crux of the problem and once we deal with this, everything else will come more easily. I also think it's important to note his reaction after the series of clips that end with Alex Jones's rant on Piers Morgan. That's how the majority of the people in this country react when confronted with "in the bubble" thinking.

Friday Funnies
Between Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and the Onion, do we really need MSNBC or Fox News any more? The way that humor and sarcasm have come to define political analysis is quite fascinating these days.
The Onion has always spared no one from its wrath and a recent issue is no exception.
Congress Honors 9/11 First Capitalizers
"It is high time we paid tribute to those who sensed the direness of the moment and immediately sprang into action on that terrible day, exploiting it for personal gain," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Tuesday. "These were the thoughtless men and women who selfishly showed us that in desperate times, the most callous among us will always be there to step forward and do whatever it takes to get a piece of the action."
It would be more amusing if it wasn't exactly true.
