Yes, let's eliminate Head Start because some sort of partisan think tank did a study which just happened to reinforce a preconceived ideological stance.
The poor can go hungry and without education. Billionaires need more tax breaks. And GE's tax credit of $3.2b from the Federal government is just not enough for them to survive.
Hey Mallard, I'm pretty sure Jesus, who lived to help poor people, would punch you in the throat if he ever met you.
Republicans have stopped even pretending to have hearts or souls.
Republicans really are easily impressed, aren't they? And select their national candidates with great care and deliberation, latching onto the latest shiny object Fox dangles in front of them.
Mallard Fillmore: Men are from Mars, Women are weak-willed individuals who allow media images of beauty to affect their self-image and I cannot tolerate weakness and must mock them for it.
But before you comment...you, sir, are the sexist among us! Not I. YOU!
Come on, Mallard. Give in. Just draw the rocking chair, the shotgun, and yell "Get offa my lawn!"
Unsurprisingly, no one has ever written something like this about Mallard Fillmore because, unlike Apple products, no one cares about Mallard Fillmore.
Michelle Obama, Obesity, President Obama, The Budget, Cheetos
Michelle Obama is not the one who says we are Obese, Mallard. Scientific studies show that more Americans than ever are obese. Michelle Obama is trying to address that epedemic, not accuse you personally of being a fat ass. Now, I know, I know...Science...amiright?
But lying and saying the First Lady is accusing everyone in American of being obese, as if it were some personal affront to you, shows a distinct lack of anything one would call "Accuracy." And yes, I know, I know...Accuracy...amiright?
If you're a member of a Union, you go on strike when your Union does so as part of collective bargaining.
If you're not a member of a Union, you can go on strike anytime you like, but you'll probably end up getting fired since you have no leverage.
If you're a talentless hack who gets paid to echo Right Wing talking points, pretty much every day is like being on strike, except that you get paid for not doing work.
And yet, it's a certain TV-addicted waterfowl who actually came up with that one.
You know, I begin to see why Republicans like Mallard hate the poor. I mean, if I got paid doing what he does, I'd have a hard time imagining anyone not being able to find a job.
Ummmmmm....Mallard, what FDR actually said was this:
...a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable.
Not that public sector unions or collective bargaining for public sector employees is unthinkable or intolerable. But that strikes are unthinkable and intolerable. Big difference to anyone sporting near-human intelligence, which explains why you fail to see the difference.
But while we're on the subject...here's a question for you Mallard...which President said this? "Where Collective Bargaining is forbidden, freedom is lost."
Give mallard credit, after being chastised on this very blog for using non-citations with his asterisks, he managed to find a citation source even less believable than just telling the user to look things up for themselves: the Media Research Center.
I won't link to MRC, but suffice it to say that if you "look it up for yourself" you'll find two articles on the MRC website which are absolutely laughable in their lack of actual evidence for their claims.
In one, for example, they decry the use of "Dead Man Walker" as violent imagery, conveniently ignoring the actual meaning of the phrase Dead Man Walking.
It's high irony for a proud Know-Nothing, a reveler in ignorance, to be criticizing Education or someone trying to improve it.
Of course, Mallard and the Right Wing have proven conclusively they have no sense of shame or irony, so the fact that he is doing just that should come as no surprise.
The person who wrote today's word jumble masquerading as some sort of commentary should not, under any circumstance, criticize people's use of the English language.
Is Mallard, who believes brown skin is justification for strip searches because you might be a terrorist, now castigating the media for a lack of national specificity regarding riots in the Middle East?
Is this some oblique reference to Wisconsin?
Or is this a reference to the Fox Propaganda Network showing video of a rally in California and lying about it being from Wisconsin?
I have yet to find a source for year-old Mallard Fillmore cartoons to determine nominees or even run our yearly awards. Not sure we'll be able to do this, as a result. If anyone knows where I can find these older strips, please let me know.
I'd like to thank Mallard in advance. He probably will spend 2 weeks on this train of "thought" (for certain limited definitions of "thought"), which means I don't really have to do any work to maintain this blog for the same period of time.
Thanks to the power of the Internet, we can look at Mallard's claim. The Wisconsin GOP very helpfully put together a video montage of offensive signs to make much the same point.
So, there you go, some signs comparing Walker to Hitler. One sign (shown twice, presumably because it was the only one they could find) quoting the now infamous "Don't Retreat, Reload" slogan and showing a crosshairs over Governor Walker's face.
Most of the signs, of course, are amazingly tame, comparing him to Hosni Mubarak, with whom Governor Walker shares some actual parallels (such as shutting off Internet access).
One chilling sign says (in comparing Walker and Mubarak) "One Down; One to Go" and shows the terrifying specter of an airplane to take Walker away! Heaven forfend! (Seriously, this is the worst the Republicans could find?)
Now, of course, let's ask what's prominently missing from the video? And that would be anyone of the prominence of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, or Sarah Palin spewing such rhetoric.
The point, Mallard, is that no credible person claimed that not one soul on the Left utilizes violent rhetoric. The fact is that it is not an inherent feature of the Democratic Party's discourse, unlike the Republican Party and their Fox Propaganda network which make use of violent and eliminationist rhetoric virtually every day of the week. And in that lies all the difference.
Shorter version: Mallard Fillmore: swing and a miss!
Seriously, a whole Sunday panel devoted to being annoyed about inadvertent phone calls? When is someone going to wake up and realize the only thing Mallard Fillmore offers a counterpoint to is intelligent discourse and stop providing him with space to vent his spleen.
Two days in and Mallard has tips his hand. See, he's going to contend that President Obama is only good at campaigning and, see, that's why he was re-elected in 2012.
It's going to be a very long 2 years for those of use who subject ourselves to Mallard Fillmore.
