Speaking of the recent spate of tornadoes in Oklahoma, President Obama calls out Climate Change Deniers on twitter
Good for you Pres. Obama, keep up this tough attitude. And move further to the Left. And end the war. And…
This evening the President spoke with Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin to express his concern for those who have been affected by the severe weather beginning last night and continuing today.Ed. Note: You can help people affected by the recent tornadoes through American Red Cross Disaster Relief. If you are in the affected areas, you can also register as “Safe and Well” to let your friends and family know you are okay.

This evening the President spoke with Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin to express his concern for those who have been affected by the tornadoes last night and continuing today.
As the President told Governor Fallin tonight, the administration — through FEMA — is committed to providing all the assistance it can to Oklahoma as the response effort unfolds. Already, FEMA has deployed an Incident Management Assistance Team, Urban Search & Rescue Teams, and an Medical Emergency Response Support Team to provide resources to hard-hit areas in Oklahoma.
FEMA is urging those in impacted areas to listen carefully to instructions from local officials, and to take the recommended protective measures. Residents should monitor local radio or TV stations, or the National Weather Service at www.weather.gov.
As the response effort develops, here is a list of resources for those affected:

Humans, the dumbest smart species on Earth.
We seem to have confused intelligence with being human
You’re right, I don’t really like the commentary. It’s just so hard to have all this knowledge about how we are destroying the earth and all it’s inhabitants, yet no one cares. It is human instinct to try and thrive as best as one can, but in this type of living system, damn near everyone is exploiting resources, the earth, and each other.
Costco CEO Craig Jelinek supports raising the minimum wage.
Costco announced record profits today, averaging $10,000 in profit per employee compared to $7,400 at Walmart.
The secret to Costco’s success is paying employees well, providing benefits, and giving them an opportunity to unionize.So large corporations’ excuses that treating & paying workers well would damage profits are all a crock of shit.
The so-called conspiracy to kill President John F. Kennedy is coming to the big screen — and not from director Oliver Stone. About three years ago, Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company announced intentions to make a film called “Legacy … Continue reading →
Goddamn it. Now a new generation of unskeptical, hipster morons are going to be getting their information on this important historical event from Hollywood. I mean come on, Oliver Stone already mangled and savaged JFK’s murder, do we really need to do it again?
Here’s a hilarious Helen Keller joke!
Do you know what no one saw or heard coming?
Helen Keller’s radical socialist activism for the rights of the poor, women, the disabled. And so people ignored and belittled her politics. They argued a deaf, blind person could not know what she was talking about. And so they reduced her to the safe story of a young girl who overcame disability, and nothing else.
Wait I mean haha she was blind! How funny.
can’t wait for titanic 4D when they actually flood the movie theater and people start drowning and they turn the air conditioning all the way down so it’s really like you’re a part of the movie
Let’s Whip the GOP on Social Security
How to protect Social Security, in two easy steps:
Step One: enlist an army. We’ve done that – 3,000,000 people have signed petitions demanding “No Cuts” to Social Security and Medicare benefits.
Step Two: bring the politicians face-to-face with our army. Here’s how:
I’ve set up a website where you can help me get every Member of Congress on the record about Social Security and veterans benefit cuts. Go to www.CitizenWhip.com, and I’ll show you how to ask your Member of Congress what he or she thinks. Then, after a few days, I’ll ask you to tell us what he or she said in response. We’ll collect all of the responses in one place, and then we’ll know which Members of Congress are for and against these cuts. And by Election Day on Nov. 4, 2014, so will their voters.
http://www.CitizenWhip.comThe polling on Social Security is very clear — voters like it just the way it is. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Southern voters like it. Northern voters like it. Democratic voters like it. Republican voters like it.
Social Security is like birthday cake. Everyone likes birthday cake.
For years, certain Members of Congress have been quietly telling their Wall Street paymasters they will cut Social Security benefits, and divert that money to Wall Street. They’ve been hiding this from their voters, many of whom have no idea that their Social Security benefits are being threatened. It’s time to “out” these would-be Judas Members of Congress, by forcing every Member to state publicly his or her position on these important questions.One thing that’s neat about this project is that by participating, you will learn a little bit about what it’s like actually to be a Member of Congress. In Congress, a “whip” counts the votes for or against something. For instance, I’m the “Regional Whip” for House Democrats in Florida and Georgia. Typically, a whip is a member of a legislature, but in this case, it’s you. A citizen. You’re the whip. That’s the reason why our site is called “Citizen Whip.”
If we can make this work, we’ll have a new relationship between citizens and Congress. Citizens won’t just vote, call and e-mail. They’ll also whip.
So, let’s get your Member of Cogress on the record. Click here:

P.S. “You never give me your money; you only give me your funny paper.” [The Beatles, 1969.] Because a lot of people like you chip in an average of $35 for our campaign, I don’t have to beg lobbyists for some. So thank you for freeing me to do my real job, instead. And if you want to help me keep that job, then contribute $35 by clicking here.
if you ever think mythology is boring or serious business or whatever shit
just remember that cerberus, the hell-hound and guard dog of the underworld, comes from the root indo-european word ḱerberos, which evolved into the greek word kerberos, which got changed to cerberus when it went from greek to latin
ḱerberos means “spotted”
that’s right
hades, lord of the dead, literally fucking named his pet dog spot
