    Meanwhile in real news…

    Just 32 percent of military veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president, according to a new poll from the Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation. In a related question, only 42 percent of those surveyed said they believe Obama is a “good commander-in-chief of the military.” Forty eight percent said he is not.

    Veterans were asked a similar question about former President George W. Bush. Sixty-five percent said they felt he was a good commander-in-chief, while 28 percent responded he was not.

    Well Well well…

    An interesting case and an even more interesting judge

    A Superior Court judge who sentenced a wealthy du Pont heir to probation for raping his 3-year-old daughter noted in her order that he “will not fare well” in prison and needed treatment instead of time behind bars, court records show.

    Well Roger Idiot Wabbit, local counsel for HA DUMMOCRETINS, how do you explain this DUMMOCRETIN judge’s actions?

    Well isn’t Joe BiteMe’s son Beau Biden the Delaware Attorney General? And it seems’ his father’s law firm loves the DUMMOCRETIN way more than the Republican. Even Al Franken[stein] received political contributions from this firm.

    Wow, you can’t make this crap up! Even the DUMMOCRETINS at DUMMOCRETIN Underground are upset over this one. Must be it gives DUMMOCRETINS a bad name when a DUMMOCRETIN judge gives a DUMMOCRETIN p e d o man a pass! Finally something that makes those idiots at DUMMOCRETIN Underground get upset at other DUMMOCRETINS!

    Who knew?

    When you are a rich DUMMOCRETIN from two prominent Delaware (DUMMOCRETIN state) families, being tried in a courtroom led by a prominent Delaware DUMMOCRETIN judge, what can you expect except leniency! Children don’t matter when DUMMOCRETIN justice is delivered.

    DUMMOCRETIN money talks, all other things don’t matter. And y’all wonder why Puddy takes y’alls positions to task. HA DUMMOCRETINS talk a good game just like national DUMMOCRETINS! Yet when the rubber hits the road; DUMMOCRETINS are the nastiest, cynical, hypocritical money loving bunch of loons Puddy has ever seen.

    There are two sets of American justice. One for the common man and one for rich DUMMOCRETINS. Don’t you remember Puddy delivering Jeffrey Epstein to HA DUMMOCRETINS? Go ahead and ask the crazed clueless databaze deala for a thorough link review.

    Hmmm… crazed man with a gun in a store threatening the employees and clientele… CCP person ends it with one shot. Victims are safe!

    Now this is interesting

    This paper uses recent data to analyze the impact of raising the minimum wage on employment among the 50 states. As shown in the following charts, the analysis finds that in 2013, a $1 increase in the minimum wage was associated with a 1.48 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate, a 0.18 percentage point decrease in the net job growth rate, a 4.67 percentage point increase in the teenage unemployment rate, and a 4.01 percentage point decrease in the teenage net job growth rate. Consequently, high state minimum wages increased unemployment by 747,700 workers and reduced job growth by 83,300 jobs.

    It seems when you increase the minimum wage low-skilled (many HA DUMMOCRETINS) and teenagers are affected.

    Heh. Hobby Lobby, the hypocrites that keep on giving:

    Hobby Lobby’s 401(k) employee retirement plan holds $73 million in mutual funds that invest in multiple pharmaceutical companies that produce emergency contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices, and abortion-inducing medications.

    The companies Hobby Lobby invests in include Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, which makes the Plan B morning-after pill and ParaGard, a copper IUD, as well as Pfizer, the maker of the abortion-inducing drugs Cytotec and Prostin E2. Hobby Lobby’s mutual funds also invest in two health insurance companies that cover surgical abortions, abortion drugs, and emergency contraception in their health care policies.

    Why can’t the Greens steer their employees to proper “Christian value” based investments for their retirement? Heh. Must serve two masters.

    Where is Roger Idiot Wabbit regarding that Delaware judgment? Prolly too hard for his leetle Wabbit Brain!

    A truly free man!

    Creationist Danny Faulkner of the Christian group Answers in Genesis said during a March 20 appearance on “The Janet Mefferd Show” that Tyson seemed to shy away from any mention of creationism in his Fox series. “Consideration of special creation is definitely not open for discussion, it would seem,” Faulkner said.

    But Tyson proved Faulkner wrong in last Sunday’s installment of “Cosmos” when he addressed — and soundly attacked — one of creationism’s core tenets: That the universe, based on biblical sources, is only about 6,500 years old. Just check out the “Cosmos” video above.

    In the episode, entitled “A Sky Full of Ghosts,” Tyson uses the example of the Crab Nebula, which is about 6,500 light years away from Earth, to debunk this creationist belief. As he explains, we can see the light of celestial beings much, much further away than the Crab Nebula, which proves that our universe is much older than a few thousand years.

    That the universe, based on biblical sources, is only about 6,500 years old.

    That’s not what the Bible sez crazed clueless databaze deala! Butt you don’t care what the Bible really sez. that’s why you posted it. It’s hate 24×7!

    Good try putting up a libtard moron!

    Remember what TexASS did:

    The Texas Advance Directives Act (1999), also known as the Texas Futile Care Law, describes certain provisions that are now Chapter 166 of the Texas Health & Safety Code. Controversy over these provisions mainly centers on Section 166.046, Subsection (e),1 which allows a health care facility to discontinue life-sustaining treatment ten days after giving written notice if the continuation of life-sustaining treatment is considered futile care by the treating medical team.

    Why doesn’t the always wrong wing ever talk about this? (Don’t look at me, I’ve mentioned this here many times.)

    Oh it must be this:

    The bill was signed into law while George W. Bush was Governor of Texas.

    That’s not what the Bible sez

    Not according to these guys:

    God gave us something better. In essence, He gave us a “birth certificate.” For example, using a personal birth certificate, a person can calculate how old he is at any point. It is similar with the earth. Genesis 1 says that the earth was created on the first day of creation (Genesis 1:1–5). From there, we can begin to calculate the age of the earth…

    The misconception exists that Ussher and Jones were the only ones to arrive at a date of 4000 B.C.; however, this is not the case at all. Jones6 lists several chronologists who have undertaken the task of calculating the age of the earth based on the Bible, and their calculations range from 5501 to 3836 B.C. A few are listed in table 2.

    Nice try Mr. Ignorant.

    @12. that is a list of names. It is not an argument one way or another about the concept of death panels.
    Typical conservative, won’t think.

    @5 That’s great, Poodebutt. Thanks to you, we know what American Action Forum, a rightwing propaganda shop, thinks of raising the minimum wage. Here’s what real media reported today:

    “Most of the states that raised their minimum wages [on Jan. 1] actually posted gains in their employment levels … compared with ‘essentially zero’ for those that kept their wages unchanged.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: You don’t have to prove you’re a head-up-ass ignoramus, Poodebutt. We already know that.

    @2, @8 – I posted about that case yesterday, Poodebutt. It’s comment #9 on the 3/31 Open Thread.

    The article you linked to contains only two facts about the judge — (fact #1) she applied to be state Chief Justice, and (fact #2) she’s an “open lesbian.” Which of these facts do you find “even more interesting,” Poodebutt? Should I venture to guess? Nah, I’ll let you tell me.

    As for what the judge’s partisan orientation is, I don’t know what it is or if she even has one, and what’s more I don’t care. It was a crappy decision. She’s a crappy judge. Let the chips fall wherever they will. If it turns out she’s a Democrat, my response to that will be that I don’t defend crappy Democrats.

    The thing is, you can’t find a Republican office holder anywhere who isn’t head-up-ass crappy. At least when you vote for a Democrat, you have a 50-50 chance of getting someone who’s competent and decent. If you vote for a Republican, you have zero chance.

  21. 21

    @3 I’ll take a competent sex addict over an incompetent warmonger any day, if that’s the only choice I have.

  23. 23

    From there, we can begin to calculate the age of the earth

    The Earth crazed clueless databaze deala. The Earth is 6000+ years old.

    The heavens are the atmosphere above the earth you moron. There are three heavens in the Bible!

    Sux to be you!

    @12. that is a list of names. It is not an argument one way or another about the concept of death panels.

    Sux to be you!

  26. 26

    Sarah Palin was right… So said Howard Dean in 2013.

    LOL! Politifact called it the lie of 2009. I agree with Politifact.. I don’t CARE what Howard Dean said while lobbying for health care outfits.. I DON”T CARE what dem politicians say to appease people listening to moron teabaggers..

    You also said Obama went on an “apology tour” (just a couple weeks or so ago). The WA POST gave that FOUR Pinocchios!

    2009 was so FIVE years ago

    The truth doesn’t have a pull date asshole. Especially when you cling to right wing lies like ACA death panels.

    You can’t handle the truth!

    Sux to be a lie worshipper like you!

    Darryl said that you’re a pathological liar! That’s the truth too.

    The heavens are the atmosphere above the earth you HA hero. There are three heavens in the Bible.

    Say whatever you want about what old mystics say about the universe dumbass!

    Science says, examining the evidence, the earth is around 4.54 billion years old. You REJECT the evidence!

    I trust science which analyzes evidence and publishes the analysis for everyone to see. If people discover some fault in it – fine, it’s back to the drawing board for better evidence and/or a better theory.

    I don’t trust folklore spun by mystics and hand-copied to papyri or whatever passed down through the generations and proclaimed by jerks like you to be “the truth”..

  28. 28

    The truth doesn’t have a pull date asshole. Especially when you cling to right wing lies like ACA death panels.

    Incomplete truth always has a pull date crazed clueless databaze deala.

    Howard Dean and others as noted above agreed with Sarah Palin on death panels in 2013 which is FOUR years later!

Because the crazed clueless databaze deala would have to admit he, the crazed clueless databaze deala, is clueless as ever! Can’t have that! The crazed clueless databaze deala continues to live in the past while the world passes the crazed clueless databaze deala by. No wonder you are as ignorant as you are!

    Sux to be you crazed clueless databaze deala! It really sucks to be the spawn of the crazed clueless databaze deala!!!!!

    I posted about that case yesterday

    Yes with a link and no “ANALysis” Idiot Wabbit. Now why was that? Well Puddy figered it out. Living in Delaware there was a very high chance this creep was a DUMMOCRETIN and you didn’t want to go there. Puddy went there because Puddy would have denounced this p e d o for what he is. Politics didn’t matter to Puddy when you are a creep as he is. You could have too Idiot Wabbit, butt as we know from previous commentary, don’t besmirch a DUMMOCRETIN on HA DUMMOCRETINS unless called out on it. And like most DUMMOCRETINS, try to say as little as possible on the subject!

    Oh yeah the judge is a BIG TIME DUMMOCRETIN… That’s why Puddy went to a Delaware DUMMOCRETIN site. She’s held in high esteem by Delaware DUMMOCRETINS!

    And your commentary about 50-50 chance? What a crock of Idiot Wabbit BULLSHITTIUM. So radioactive with a 3 nanosecond half life!

    Sux to be you again today!
