Don't b.s. me, bro

I'm not as dumb as I look, you know. In deference to my finely-tuned bullshit detector, opinions are expressed, arguments are made, bullshit is called out.

Meehan Getting Answers on Fast & Furious: ATF, ICE, DEA, & IRS Involved in Operation

Shocking shit right here. But then, nothing truly shocks me any more when it comes to government corruption, lack of ethics, and pursuit of power over the laws of the land. Congrats to Cong. Meehan for standing up for what is right and true over these corrupt, dangerous yahoos in ATF, ICE, DEA, and IRS that approved this insanity.

The night Chris Matthews told the truth

Ya, it’s a fantasy, but the truth is that you will never hear this simple truth on MSNBC

MATTHEWS: Eight of the ten richest people in Congress are Democrats, and not Republicans.

BOXER: Well, I meant people who make a million dollars a year.

MATTHEWS: You mean like me? I make five million dollars a year.

BOXER: Really? Given your ratings, you should be lucky to make minimum wage.

MATTHEWS: Really. I get five million a year. Do you wish to know my secret?

BOXER: Please.

MATTHEWS: By never ever pressing rich white limousine liberals like you on the hypocrisy of your rhetoric.

BOXER: Oh?

MATTHEWS: Yes. My employer — GE — pays zero taxes to the USA and GE wants to keep people like you from making a big deal about it.

BOXER: How do they do that?

MATTHEWS: By hiring fools like me who will never call hypocrites like you on the B S you feed the masses. But since this is Xtra Normal Land, I can say what I always wanted to say to someone like you.

BOXER: I suppose you will now unleash some corny string of expletives.

MATTHEWS: No, something worse. Madam, you are worse than the Republicans. Good night from Hardball.
