Socialist Superman vs the Hospital Hater

Arkenor — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 13:43:28 +0000

“Bah, hospitals! Who needs ‘em?”, said old man Stanton. Luckily, there was someone there to set him straight before he started quoting Ayn Rand again.

Fact-checking is so 1950's.

Arizona Shooter of Congresswoman Giffords was Self-Defined Terrorist

Arkenor — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 21:03:58 +0000

I’m pretty sure these videos are from today’s shooter. For some reason, the spelling of the name, “Laughner” that has been released is incorrect. His real name was Jared Lee Loughner of Tucson, Arizona. Today, he murdered a number of people, including Federal Judge John Roll, and critically wounded many more, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. It’s a dreadful tragedy, and I was searching for anything that might give us some idea why he did what he did. I’m still going [...]

Farmville has its own Congressman.

Arkenor — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:56:32 +0000

And he’s not bad.

Sadly, he was ganked by the right honourable Senator for Darkfall shortly after making this speech.

Connecticut for Lieberman party campaigns agains Joe Lieberman.

Arkenor — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 18:15:55 +0000

I found this remarkable. The chap in this video is Dr. John Mertens, and he really is the Chairman of the Connecticut for Lieberman party, the party Joe set up when he got beaten by Ned Lamont in the 2006 Democratic primary race, in order for him to contest (and sadly win) the election as an independent with heavy Republican support.

At some point they really need to change the name of their party. Also, they should probably apologise [...]

MEP Daniel Hannan lies about the UK on US Television for money.

Arkenor — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:42:45 +0000

While socialised medicine is considered with great mistrust in the US, here in the UK, no political party would dare to suggest that the dear old NHS should be replaced. Unless, of course, they didn’t think anyone from Britain would notice.

In this clip, UK Conservative, MEP Daniel Hannan, holds court with the crown prince of right-wing crazy, Glenn Beck.

You would not think it to listen to Hannan and his FOX friends, but we do actually also have [...]

Captain America on Torture.

Arkenor — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:38:55 +0000

If Captain America was interviewed by Fox News’ Sean Hannity:

Captain America hates torture.

He’s also not big on detaining people indefinitely without trial.

Luckily for him, Captain America is just about the only guy in the US who can get away with saying stuff like that without being called unamerican.

Microsoft threatens to leave US if tax-loopholes are closed.

Arkenor — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 23:49:28 +0000

Steve Ballmer of Microsoft is threatening to pull out of the US, if the Obama administration moves to close tax loop-holes that are allowing multinationals to avoid paying tax.:

“It makes U.S. jobs more expensive. We’re better off taking lots of people and moving them out of the U.S. as opposed to keeping them inside the U.S.”

He might love his company (a little too much), but he doesn’t seem to like the country that allowed it to [...]

Do You Feel Safer? : The latest GOP advert.

Arkenor — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:45:13 +0000

This is the latest official advert from the leaders of the Republican party. Really. :

Since you’re asking, why yes, I do feel safer. I feel safer because I believe the new President will actually consider reality before he makes decisions, and I feel safer because I do not think that he will use violence as his favoured method of dealing with the world’s issues. His willingness to talk to people who disagree with him, and to consider their [...]

Bad “Meet”: Saudi Arabia in dust up with the State Department

Arkenor — Fri, 01 May 2009 22:52:47 +0000

This could get interesting.

Saudi Arabia has demanded that the US retract a claim that King Abdullah met Israeli President Shimon Peres in 2008, in a rare rebuke towards its ally.

An unnamed Saudi official said the claim by US Under Secretary at the State Department, William Burns, was “completely false and fabricated”.

Mr Burns said this week King Abdullah and Mr Peres met at a UN interfaith conference in New York last November.

Saudi Arabia and Israel do not [...]

Million Madman March

Arkenor — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:32:48 +0000

The Ohio Militia is calling for a show of strength against those evil liberals.

A peaceful demonstration of at least a million — hey, if we can get 10 million, even better — but at least one million armed militia men marching on Washington. A peaceful demonstration. No shooting, no one gets hurt. Just a demonstration. The only difference from any typical demonstration is we will all be armed.

A million armed right-wing nut-jobs gathered in the one place [...]

State Senator Dave Schultheis would visit the sins of the mother upon the child.

Arkenor — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 04:11:53 +0000

Further to what I was talking about yesterday, this story is another example of how Republican politicians are out of step with how most people (including most ordinary Republicans) actually see the world. It also makes me bloody angry that such bastards not only exist, but manage to get elected. I feel I ought to place a big “This is not satire!” banner at the top of stories like this.

The US state of Colorado is trying to pass a [...]
