I’m sure you’ve all seen this by now, but you may have only caught it in clips, so here’s the entire interview/debate for those who missed it…
Just when you think that you’ve heard and seen it all with these two, they come out with this. Now why can’t the rest of the mainstream media make the news this interesting and thoroughly entertaining?

In case you missed it, President Obama spoke for around an hour at the GOP House Issues Conference, and it seemed surprisingly calm. For the most part, everyone conducted themselves rather well; the truth was… hit or miss, but it was still a night and day difference from what the health care debates of last summer looked like in the mob-rule town hall meetings with Republicans screaming into an empty void.
Some of my favorite quotes from Obama, emphasis added:
You know, Mike, I’ve read your legislation. I mean, I take a look at this stuff — and the good ideas we take. But here’s — here’s the thing — here’s the thing that I guess all of us have to be mindful of, it can’t be all or nothing, one way or the other. And what I mean by that is this: If we put together a stimulus package in which a third of it are tax cuts that normally you guys would support, and support for states and the unemployed, and helping people stay on COBRA that your governors certainly would support — Democrat or a Republican; and then you’ve got some infrastructure, and maybe there’s some things in there that you don’t like in terms of infrastructure, or you think the bill should have been $500 billion instead of $700 billion or there’s this provision or that provision that you don’t like. If there’s uniform opposition because the Republican caucus doesn’t get 100 percent or 80 percent of what you want, then it’s going to be hard to get a deal done. That’s because that’s not how democracy works.
So I mean, I think we can score political points on the basis of the fact that we underestimated how severe the job losses were going to be. But those job losses took place before any stimulus, whether it was the ones that you guys have proposed or the ones that we proposed, could have ever taken into effect. Now, that’s just the fact, Mike, and I don’t think anybody would dispute that. You could not find an economist who would dispute that.

Ironically, Pope Benedict XVI, whose beliefs would better place him in the Middle Ages, is encouraging priests to use modern technology, such as websites, blogs, and social networking, to spread the “Good News,” as if 2,000-year-old mythology should still be considered “news” at this point. Our first “Defrocked” of the new year questions the Church’s new direction…

The always classy Westboro Baptist Church (the assholes behind the “God Hates Fags” campaign) recently launched their latest abomination creation – a music video parody of Lady Gaga’s hit single “Poker Face.” Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up, people. Take a look…
And I thought that Charlie Check’m video was painful to sit through. In case you wanted to know (and I’m not sure why you’d want to inquire further), that’s Megan Phelps-Roper, the granddaughter of WBC founder Pastor Fred Phelps, singing like she’s in the first round of American Idol in a video that looks like it was directed by Phil Thomas Katt. The rotten old fruit apparently doesn’t fall far from the tree. This video is the follow-up to the church’s December 22nd “press release,” which resembles an old Angelfire page more than it does any official document…
“Thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed…Will He reserve His anger forever? Will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.” Jer 3:3,5
“Art” and “fashion” are the euphemisms, the guise under which proud whore Lady Gaga teaches rebellion against God (incidentally, her claim to the title of “lady” is sound only if she tacks on “of the night,” thereby alluding to another euphemism of what she is.) As much as she’d like to pretend otherwise, there’s nothing new or different about this particular hussy’s pretentious prancing. Does the simple slut truly think that she can change God’s standards by seducing a generation of rebels into joining her in fist-raised, stiff-necked, hard-hearted rebellion against Him? Get real!
Even as she gives lip-service to “liberating” her young fans, Lady Gaga brings them into slavery to their own corruption, teaching them to glory in their shame. She hates you! “For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness…While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption!” 2 Pet. 2:18-19
YOU’RE GOING TO HELL.
“…to glory in their shame.” What?! While I usually feel the need to comment and point out the sheer absurdity of religion in its every form, I feel like this is that one time where the blinding stupidity just speaks for itself. There’s just no need to point out how ridiculous this is. I guess if I’m GOING TO HELL anyway, I might as well get acquainted with what I’ll be watching on repeat while I’m there.
