Jon Stewart and Asif Mandvi say “Don’t drug test welfare recipients”…huh??

Jon Stewart and Asif Mandvi say "Don't drug test welfare recipients"...huh??

Ok so the middle segment today on the Daily Show was Aasif Mandvi doing a piece on Floridians having to get drug tested before receiving a welfare check. And Aasif Mandvi bent over backwards to show what an asinine idea this is. And you know…these are the times when I just…

Hannity and Juan Williams debate over the economy…they’re both right, and stupid

Hannity and Juan Williams debate over the economy...they're both right, and stupid

Ok, well…I just watched a Sean Hannity – Juan Williams meltdown over what the state of the economy is. It ended with Hannity saying “I’m getting high blood pressure” and “I don’t know why I like you.” Hannity basically…

Mika Brzezinski is an idiot

Mika Brzezinski is an idiot

I’m sorry, I’m sure nobody knows who this idiot is because she’s on at 6 in the morning on MSNBC on Morning Joe, she co-hosts the show with Joe Scarborough…but she is such a flaming retard that I just need to vent. I started watching this show because I’m up very late and I need my politics fix at all hours of the day and…
