    Plagiarizing the Wikipedia article on Gattica? Wonder if the movie will see a sudden surge in DVD sales, even though it was a flop.

  2. 2

    I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that the TeaFascists are supposedly about being taxed too much, when the major financial supporters of this phony “movement” pay no taxes whatsoever, and do nothing to promote or build the real strength the United States could have if it just educated the citizens. Promoting the general welfare by rebuilding the roads, schools, scientific research programs and putting real criminals in prison where they belong. Criminals like the owners and CEOs of the banks and corporations that have systematically torn down everything this country built since it’s founding.

    How is it that this Nation, that once built the atomic bomb, discovered antibiotics, and developed rocket engineering to the point where we have sent machines to the furthest reaches of the Solar System and beyond, is now cumulatively redesigning itself as another version of Russia, with an intelligence quotient below 80 becoming the norm.

    Is it a fungal infection or maybe some poison that people are ingesting? It’s gotta be something that eats people’s brains. Congenital syphilis or toxoplasmosis or something or a combination of such. Combine that with acute, and chronic lead poisoning and a lifetime of feeding on plastic food and you get a whole new class of mental illness and willful stupidity.

    There is no word in the english language, or likely any language, that can adequately describe the self-inflicted deterioration of human cogitation we have seen developing in this country over the last 50 years. We have a few examples of that right in this forum.

    “Republicans” claim to want to foster local control of things. At the Federal level, the GOP says that it isn’t the Federal government’s responsibility to fund education or scientific research or infrastructure maintenance and development. So they refuse to tax the highest income earners in the country, pass the buck to the States and wash their hands of the problems.

    Then, at the State level, they claim to promote the idea that local control means just that, that it isn’t the State Government’s responsibility to fund schools or build roads, fire stations, or even Police departments. So the State legislators refuse to raise statewide revenue streams to the general public and pass the buck to the Counties and wash their hands of the problems.

    All this while criticizing the local governments for wasting the taxpayers money. At the same time, while they campaign every election cycle on fixing the problems that they have themselves deliberately created to promote their image of saving taxpayers money, insist that such things should not be the responsibility of the State Governments to pay for.

    At the County level, the GOP promotes their ideas of “local control”, and claim that only the individual school districts and municipalities have responsibility to support themselves, and build their own infrastructure. Then they fight any locally oriented taxation that would support that.

    The GOP is the schizo-effective narcissist greedy asshole party, but the fucking Democrats really cannot and will not do anything to oppose them, because the people who pull the strings of both parties don’t want to pay taxes at all.

    It is perfectly acceptable to be a thief, if one is a banker billionaire with a few congresspeople and judges and prosecutors in one’s pocket. The plebes lap it up off the dirt, and beg for more.

    Stockholm syndrome at every level. The taxpayers are forced to pay for football stadiums and utilities to housing developments and shopping centers, but once the citizens start talking about putting updated schoolbooks in student’s hands or building a new building to educate people in, the GOP freaks out and propagates all sorts of misleading and outright false information against those things, claiming that it isn’t the Governments responsibility to support schooling for the next generation of leaders and engineers and doctors and such.

    When people cannot read, or understand how the governing process was designed to function, they end up with the Government we have now. Full of Louie Gohmerts, Michelle Bachmanns, Paul Ryans and George Bushes.

    @2

    Apparently Senator Roy Blunt thinks all the highway reconstruction I drove though around Kansas City a few days go magically pays for its self.

    Try hearing someone from a state that gets back more in federal spending than it pays in federal taxes talking about how the federal government is stealing their money. I don’t even try to talk to these people. I’m just hanging around to enjoy the fall colors and ride my bike on the Katy Trail.

  8. 8

    Republicans tend to hate regulations

    Except when they involve uteri, or brown/black/poor people voting.

  9. 9

    @4 “Communism” is whatever they want to call it. As such, it’s one of those labels that has been so profligately used, and so spuriously misused, that today it merely means “you’re not from my political tribe.”

  10. 10

    Hate speech, The Atlantic tells us, can be useful. For example, the rapid advance of gay rights owes much to the the likes of Jerry Falwell and other homophobes whose hate-filled rhetoric repulses reasonable people and increases their sympathy for LBGT people. Unfortunately, I can’t link to the article, because their website seems to be down right now.

    “From thousands of classified documents, the NSA emerges as an electronic omnivore of staggering capabilities, eavesdropping and hacking its way around the world to strip governments and other targets of their secrets, all while enforcing the utmost secrecy about its own operations.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This is what an out-of-control rogue agency looks like. How can this possibly be compatible with a democracy supposedly answerable to its citizens?

  14. 14

    @12 is just another example of how corrupt corporations, politicians, and institutions have totally stacked the deck against working people.

    The problem with being caught once is that people start paying attention to other “works”.

    Drip…drip…drip…Rand Paul is a fraud.

    They have a word for people who profit from ‘writing’ books without properly citing sources.

    Rand Paul may not have had an original thought in his life.

    Yes ObummerCare is working…

    Sho nuff…

    “Jolene,” a sex worker who volunteered at the event, said she has already enrolled through the California exchange and was at the event to help others through the process. “I am here mostly to put my skill at filling out bureaucratic forms to use,” Jolene said.

    Jolene said one of the biggest draws of the ACA — commonly known as Obamacare — is that applicants do not need to report their employment.

    HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR

  22. 22

    Yes, ObummerCare is working just fine…

    All those private insurance plans go bye bye…

    Remember schmucko-moron already posted the LA Slimes article backing up the percentages mentioned here!

  23. 23

    So sex workers should be ineligible for health care?

    I think you’ve never read your bible.

  24. 24

    Puddly is afraid that now that mental health care must be included, someone will insist that he use it.

  25. 25

    When I read this article about the Louisiana county that sports America’s greatest income disparity, the thought that leaped in my mind was this: Republicans want to cut billions of dollars from food aid to hungry poor people, but keep giving billions of dollars of federal subsidies to rich farmers.

    http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/29/.....?hpt=hp_t1

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: How do such people live with themselves? They must not have a conscience.

  26. 26

    @24 Some people aren’t amenable to mental health treatment. All you can do is lock them in a rubber room with no internet access so they can’t harm themselves or others. We’d miss him, though. How would we pass the time without puddly to kick around? It would get awfully boring around here.

  27. 27

    Puddly is afraid that now that mental health care must be included, someone will insist that he use it.

    Something wrong with the rat. Where did Puddy ever think that?

    Projection is strong in this DUMMOCRETIN!

    So sex workers should be ineligible for health care?

    Just what checkmate needs… a sex worker!

    Who knew?

  30. 30

    Looks like another missed ObummerCare link from Da Perfessa with his DUMMOCRETIN horse manure above.

    So those 4000+ HA DUMMOCRETINS who rushed to place their info on Healthcare.gov should wonder.

  31. 31

    I see the village idiot is baaaaaaack!

    @21
    What a wretched, reprehensible creature you are.

    Indeed, as czechsaaz points out @23, your ridicule of a sex worker thankful she can get health care without stigma is particularly poignant given alleged Jesus’ alleged relationships with whores.

    Jesus aside – sex workers are a particularly vulnerable segment of society. Women of Color Against Violence discuss the plight of sex workers here. Here are some glaring statistics regarding the vulnerability of sex workers, women and men. Here are some more stats, including this…

    • Between 66-90%of women in the sex industry were sexually abused as children.

    But hey, if you’re puddibigot, and you’re sure the Sky Daddy loves you more than He loves anybody else, especially some icky slut or some queer boy who deserved it, then yuck it up and make it an attack when you read about a sex worker finding a glimmer of hope and a lack of stigma when she finally has a chance to see a doctor.

    Pathetic waste of oxygen.

    (BTW, puddibigot, why don’t you give us an exposition on the difference between ‘vault’ and ‘vaunt’, you illiterate, hateful pustule.)

    I’d be laughing at you if I weren’t gagging.

  32. 32

    schmucko-moron… Puddy doesn’t EVER answer to you. Somehow you never commented on Monroe, LA or your attempt in Oklahoma, headed by DUMMOCRETINS.

    Regarding the sex worker you missed it like always…

    Jolene said one of the biggest draws of the ACA — commonly known as Obamacare — is that applicants do not need to report their employment.

    Now why is that schmucko-moron? You brag all day how “smart” you are yet you continually miss that right in front of your snot dripping nose! No ridicule except in your projecting leetle mind.

    See ya schmucko-moron.

    Wait for it… Watch for the next installment accusing Puddy of something silly from schmucko-moron…

  33. 33

    Now why is that schmucko-moron?

    Please proceed, puddibigot…..

  34. 34

    Still waiting DUMMOCRETIN schmucko-moron…

  35. 35

    The whitey house Holiday Tree err… Christmas Tree is from WA State this year. Will DUMMOCRETINS demand Obummer rename it as the DC Holiday Tree?

  36. 36

    Oh no NY DUMMOCRETINS are feeling the ObummerCare hit…

    So much for keeping that policy! .period. .guaranteed.

  37. 37

    Oh no… David Broken-AxleRod is wrong?

    “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.” – Preznit Obummer in 2009

    Now we see this:

    Here in a nutshell is the problem. The minimum actuarial value established by Obamacare was 60%: that is, plans must cover 60% of covered expenses for a typical plan member, leaving the rest to be paid out of pocket. Yet in 2009, the average actuarial value for a typical employer-based HMO was 93%, while that for a typical employer-based PPO was 80-84%. In contrast, Medicare’s average actuarial value was 76%. The point being that without a shred of the micromanagement now being imposed under Obamacare, the typical employer plan voluntarily was well above the floor set by Obamacare and well above the benefits deemed adequate by the government itself for that single-payer plan known as Medicare. Consequently, it is unlikely that most employers (or their employees) ever viewed their coverage as “substandard.” And candidate Obama certainly did not get elected on a platform of promising to upgrade the lousy health coverage provided by employers.

    So ObummerCare is forcing peeps to have to change coverage!

    So sad how Congressional DUMMOCRETINS are screwing with American lives!

  38. 38

    From puddyidiot @36: “Oh no NY DUMMOCRETINS are feeling the ObummerCare hit…”

    Yep, we sure are …

    “Democrats appear poised for another big electoral victory in Virginia on Tuesday as conservative and Tea Party Republicans face real questions about whether they can win ….

    “The gubernatorial race between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Ken Cuccinelli has remained unchanged for weeks, with McAuliffe holding a steady and sizable lead in most polls.

    “Those surveys tell a stark story: The GOP is losing not because the party failed to nominate the most conservative candidate — but because they did. …

    “‘Virginia has changed and they haven’t,’ former Virginia Rep. Tom Davis, a moderate Republican who represented the D.C. suburbs for 14 years, said of his party’s controlling conservative wing. ‘They’re an anachronism. They’re losing young people, they’re losing women, they’re losing people moving in.'”

  39. 39

    Meanwhile back with Benghazi… Seems the 60 minutes person is being framed by someone who doesn’t like the truth being told…

    Damien Lewis, who co-authored The Embassy House with Davies, said in a statement to The Daily Beast Saturday that the leak that included the real identity of Morgan Jones “is deeply disturbing.” Lewis continued, “To deliberately leak his real name means those who may wish to do him harm now have access to his real identity. This is unconscionable.”

    DUMMOCRETINS don’t care about anyone except their political lives. They will willingly bury anyone in their way!

  40. 40

    @39 Oh my! Now puddles wants us to accept the say-so of a guy who doesn’t want his real name revealed — because the incident report he wrote at the time contradicts what he said in his book!

  41. 41

    because the incident report he wrote at the time contradicts what he said in his book!

    There goes schmucko-moron again… Misses the information under his snot laden nose… Except he didn’t write it schmucko-moron

    In an interview Saturday with The Daily Beast, Davies said he did not write the incident report, nor had he ever seen it.

    Once again schmucko-moron can’t read or comprehend!

    And you DUMMOCRETINS eat up the shit slurry from the fingers of schmucko-moron!

    Piddles might want to look into his Benghazi frothing. As the hare points out, not only does the timeline not match what ‘Morgan Jones’ claims but apparently his signed report to the British military he states he saw Ambassodor Steven’s body in a cell phone image from another member of the security detail.

    But…but…but…he told 60 minutes he saw the body first hand and told his superiors he wasn’t even able to get to the compound until the twelfth. Curiouser and curiouser.

    Hmmmm….

  48. 48

    The Blue Mountain Group incident report is written in the first person in the voice of Davies. The version of the document obtained by The Daily Beast is not signed by anyone. It contains two stamps at the top: one of the Blue Mountain Group and one that reads “Embassy of the United States of America.”

    yet checkmate checkmates himself again….

    apparently his signed report

    More DUMMOCRETIN reading comprehension issues.

    @51 Courts decide what is constitutional, not what is wise. In other words, legislators are allowed to be idiots, within boundaries. I’m sure this particular bit of legislation will go over big with female voters in Texass. That’s the Republican Party for you: Never minds to think small, they alienate voters millions at a time.

  54. 54

    Remember this Puddy entry two weeks ago? Well itseems CNN has backed up the NY Slimes article.

    Concord’s one hospital won’t accept any policies offered by the marketplaces. To see a doctor, specialist or primary care provider affiliated with the hospital, patients on these Obamacare plans will have to pay out of their own pocket. The closest in-network hospital is in Manchester.

    “Can you imagine having to go 25 miles away to Manchester to get access to a health care provider that is covered by your insurance?” Harte asked. “Right now, Concord is one big black hole of health care for people buying these plans.”

    PuddyCommentary… So you can’t keep your doctors or hospitals you are used to use. Travel 25 miles in a snowstorm… You can thank ObummerCare.

    Will the low information DUMMOCRETINS figger this out in 2014?

    schmucko-moron… What did Rachel Madcow orginally say about Rand Paul? This is what was proffered on HA DUMMOCRETINS. Now you train wreck with something totally different. Man you are really stoooooooooooopid! And Puddy has been saying this for years!

    I’ve been off writing a book review for Amazon.com (don’t bother looking under “Roger Rabbit,” I only use that name on political blogs, because I don’t want my burrow to get firebombed). I don’t get what Piddly Moralist’s hangup is with sex workers. If you don’t believe in the service, don’t use it, know what I mean? Obviously, someone does, not me though. I’m perfectly happy with Mrs. Rabbit. But that doesn’t prevent me from feeling some empathy and compassion for women who have to sell their bodies to strangers because our capitalist economy does a lousy job of providing moral work for everyone who needs and wants to work. (It takes damn good care of CEOs, banksters, and stock flippers, though.)

  79. 79

    The GOP’s latest anti-Obamacare meme is that millions of people will lose their existing insurance plans. There’s an element of truth to that; know why? Because those plans don’t cover pre-existing conditions, and that’s now illegal.

    Also, the new FRA rules would mist likely benefit Swiss company Stadler Rail, as they worked with the FRA on a waiver. One conceivable scenario with the new rules, is the lightweight Diesel Multiple Units being used on brancg line services, then in the city, switching to the local light rail to serve downtown. Besides the GTW, which is used in New Jersey and Texas, Stadler has a new model on offer that also uses both Diesel and Electric motors.

  84. 84

    I see once again, puddibigot brings the hate – this time on one of the most vulnerable segments in our puritanical society – sex workers – and he thinks that the fact that a woman in that trade can get health insurance without stigma, without declaring her type of work, is somehow a problem.

    And he says it thinking that it’s a good argument, that there is no retort, that people might actually agree with him.

    It’s like your stupid cousin telling a blatantly racist, or perhaps more timely, homophobic joke at the Thanksgiving table, and receiving nothing but silence in return, when he expected laughter and assent and complicity.

    Note puddibigot’s backtracking above – what he accuses me of, nonsensically, always a giveaway as to what he’s up to – trying to imply there was some other intent or message to his post.

    No, there’s never any depth or nuance to a puddibigot post – just hate and stupidity, cackling evil, vomiting the latest Tony Perkins or Hannity or EW Jackson or David Duke, not realizing those charlatans’ words only work on the rubes they were crafted for, like the puddibigot himself.

    what is really damn funny is how quickly Puddybud throws in the towel when confronted with the truth

    Funny how schmucko-moron walks away from his Rand Paul attack on Drudge RETORT!

    I haven’t walked away from anything – you just present a target-rich environment for ridicule – it’s hard to keep up with all the stupidity you spew.

    Lessee…puddibigot….

    …doesn’t know the difference between the verbs ‘vaunt‘ and ‘vault‘.

    …thinks sex workers getting access to healthcare without some cranky moral scold stigmatizing them is somehow bad. Doesn’t realize he’s exposing some pretty extreme misogyny in the process.

    …doesn’t realize that even rightard sites like Drudge are lambasting Rand Paul for recurrent, remorseless plagiarism.

    …keeps beating last weeks drum about Obama stealing your (worthless) insurance plan.

    …thinks the messages he’s getting through his dental fillings about BENNNNNGGHHHHAAAAZZZIIII!! from arsonist and thief Darryl Issa are both true and something that sane people believe or care about.

    …thinks that anyone with half a brain cares what David Gregory thinks.

    And I’m sure there’s more, I just quit giving much a a shit about puddibigot’s posts – other than as convenient tools with which to beat him about the head with – a LONG time ago.

    Like I said, target rich-environment.

    Yes, yes it is.

    I’ve said many times, he’s like a squid squirting ink – when he realizes that someone capable of critical thought has bothered to take him up on his burbling hatred and has decisively kicked his rhetorical ass – he spews some dense word salad and disappears.

    Drudge RETORT is DRUDGE REPORT Really schmucko-moron? Such an idiot. Twists what he previously wrote to make himself look better.

    What a moron… Puddy hasn’t thrown in any towel. Obummer has killed insurance plans and everyone knows it, except pinhead DUMMOCRETINS like you! Puddy’s corporate plan has increased my deductions and increased in out of pocket costs. The form letter said “Due to the ACA these are the new plans.”

    Plain and simple idiot DUMMOCRETIN. 2014 will be a target rich year for removing Congressional DUMMOCRETINS!

    Rest of the rant is useless as always…

    Tooooooooooooooooooooo

    Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmn

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnny

    Silly DUMMOCRETIN!

    Yup. Running away when sufficiently smacked around.

    I just heard a story on NPR about a scientific study (you can tune out now, puddibigot – we all know you’re allergic to science) into the brain structure and function of adolescents.

    Childhood Maltreatment Can Leave Scars In The Brain

    Kids who were abused or neglected had weak links between their prefrontal cortex and the amygdala – associated with anxiety disorders and other mental illness.

    We know that studies of right-wingers show the dominance of thoughts of fear and anxiety, here, and here, and here.

    So….you beat your children, they develop mental illnesses and become Republicans. No wonder crazy-ass preachermen beat the snot out of their children, here and here and here. Our local insanity included.

    The corollary….spare the rod, and create a more peaceful world.

    ” Puddy’s corporate plan has increased my deductions and increased in out of pocket costs. The form letter said “Due to the ACA these are the new plans.”

    How could Puddy’s plan increase YOUR costs? Looks like an issue between you and Puddy.

    OOOPS!!! Rand Paul caught plagiarizing, again. This time he was grifting, er, writing, um….well, the piece in question was an Op-Ed in the Washington Times.

    I guess he was convinced that WT readers don’t, um, stray far, and wouldn’t be expected to have much knowledge of anything outside the bubble.

    As Josh Marshall points out, daddy Paul, Ron, was always running away from his bona fide words, usually offensive and racist; son Rand doesn’t have any (intelligent) words of his own and has to steal others’ and pass them off as his own.

    These are the moral titans in teh puddibigot’s firmament.

    @93
    Yeah, well, unscrupulous corporations have always preyed on the more dimwitted amongst us. Here’s a TPM investigation of how health insurance companies are trying to fleece their customers once again. Since we all know that the puddibigot is one of the more stupid, not to mention hateful, persons on the planet, I’m sure he’s been targeted as a mark by all sorts of grifters.

    I’m still waiting for the puddibigot to explain his triumphal quote of the sex worker above.

    You wrote…

    Yes ObummerCare is working…

    Sho nuff…

    and…

    Regarding the sex worker you missed it like always…

    Jolene said one of the biggest draws of the ACA — commonly known as Obamacare — is that applicants do not need to report their employment.

    Now why is that schmucko-moron? You brag all day how “smart” you are yet you continually miss that right in front of your snot dripping nose!

    What point are you actually trying to make, puddibigot?

    Why are you cackling about her being happy about not having to list her profession?

    Please explain, puddibigot, I just can’t keep up with your transcendent prose and razor-like thinking.
