Love it. Simply...love this brutal, honest list.

 

[rightwinger]

LOL

Great list....especially number 1

 

[Mad Scientist]

Although the list has conservatives near the top (who didn't see that coming?), this is a pretty good summation of Barrys' term so far:

14) Barack Obama
Charges: Outside of his promise to never end the pointless war in Afghanistan, his word has the integrity of Halliburton cement. Whether it was a “robust” public option, real net neutrality, importing prescription drugs, barring lobbyists from serving in the White House, meaningful Wall Street reform or ending the Bush tax cuts for the disgustingly wealthy, our President caved like the Metrodome under the weight of a bloated oligarchy. Most irksome, he seemed dignified doing it.
Aggravating factor: Authorized the assassination of Americans accused of terrorism.
Sentence: Primary challenge from the Rent is 2 Damn High guy.

They're certainly no Onion.

I like Paula Dean and I sure use butter when I cook.

# 1 on my list

25) david brooks
charges: The bernie madoff of american letters, every tortured construct and inaccurate assumption ever set to print by this annoyingly self-described “bourgeoisie bohemian” is a fraudulent attempt to justify why his house is more expensive than yours. Brooks couldn’t even wait for the bodies to cool after the haiti earthquake before writing about how useless it is to send money because those voodoo-lovin’ savages simply can’t be helped.
Aggravating factor: “it’s time to find self-confident local leaders who will create no excuses countercultures in places like haiti, surrounding people—maybe just in a neighborhood or a school—with middle-class assumptions, an achievement ethos and tough, measurable demands.”
sentence: Buried under rubble; cholera.

Well, yeah:

1) You
Charges: Your brain’s been cobbled together over millions of years of blind evolution and it shows. You’re clumsy, stupid, weak and motivated by the basest of urges. Your MO is both grotesquely selfish and unquestionably deferential to questionable authority. You’re not in control of your life. You wear your ignorance like a badge of honor and gleefully submit to oppression, malfeasance and kleptocracy. You will buy anything. You will believe anything. You believe that evolution is a matter of belief. You likely scrolled down to #1, without reading the rest, because you’re an impatient, semi-literate Philistine who’s either unable or unwilling to digest more than 140 characters at a time. You think Epic Beard Man is a national hero and that Bradley Manning might be Eli and Peyton’s brother. You believe in American exceptionalism despite the contrary, compelling and overwhelming evidence. You tacitly partake in all manner of atrocity without batting a lash. You’re actively participating in our species’ extinction and you’re either in denial or you just don’t give a shit. You escape into every sort of mind-numbing distraction and ridiculous, convoluted fantasy, so you don’t have to face the bitter, terrifying fact that your life is utterly meaningless.
Aggravating factors: The careers of Rush Limbaugh, Oprah Winfrey, John Stossel and Justin Bieber; the success of The Secret, “Medium” and Atlas Shrugged; the election of Rand Paul; the existence of Kentucky, Texas and “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.”
Sentence: Bad teeth, an affinity for afternoon tea and the guilt-plagued, nostalgic psyche of a fallen empire.

This is the stuff that gets him in trouble with Liberals and the Conservatives see as "moving toward the center".

Sounds like #1 on the list rubbed you the wrong way.

I'm not sure what he should have done differently.

The Republican Party of Filibuster held millions of Americans hostage threatening to take away their unemployment just before Christmas. This would have had a dual disastrous effect on both the economy and the Middle Class.

From 2001 to 2008, Republicans helped moved millions of jobs to China and shut down more than 40,000 US factories. Just because Republicans call the unemployed "hobos" and "druggies" doesn't mean they are. Republicans blame the very people whose lives they've ruined, for their lives being ruined.

Obama just couldn't let those millions of Americans suffer. Otherwise, he would be just like the Republicans.

Number 1 is bullshit.

Granted, I don't know you very well, but I wouldn't call you one of the most loathsome people in America.

Not at all.

The whole list was pedantic, predictable, trite, boring. You know, right up your alley.

I find it vitriolically poignant. Keep it up with the petty, trollish comments. It's very flattering.

Wrong again, leftwinger.

I was merely pointing out how insipid and pedantic and plodding and predictable that "list" was -- thus explaining why Bones would find it so interesting.

Pointing out that an insipid churlish boring trite piece of fluff is pedantic and plodding (etc.) is not trolling, you useless imbecile.

"Vitriolically poignant?"

You're trey ghey and a real poseur.
