Jon Stewart on Fire: Fox News and Their Constant Poor-Bashing
Fox News is savaged in this clip, and they thoroughly deserve it. This is Jon Stewart at his best.

Obviously Jon has made a decision on what he wants to do going forward but I still has a sad.

When did President Obama ever say he was “going to fix the structure of the African-American family”? Moreover, WTF does that even mean?

The wingnuts think they can fix this whole poverty thing if they just force all the single moms to church-marry their baby daddies.

Slightly higher on the scandal-o-meter:
Mrs. Rubio was paid at least $54000 for her part-time job in 2013. The charity's IRS forms show it gave out only $250 http://t.co/Ba3ITbJRq7

Charities that don’t actually pay out on the charitable purpose for which they were established, and the money instead lined the pockets of those who “operate” the charity or who raise funds for the charity (usually but not always 3d parties who churn the donations to raise more money but never actually makes it to the charitable goal). That’s a bigger problem that George donating to the Clinton Foundation.

Setting aside the moral/ethical of the death penalty versus life in prison, from a cost basis alone, the death penalty is bad policy. It costs far more to put someone to death than it does to incarcerate for life. There’s the legal costs/fees of appeals, the special treatment in prison for death row inmates, and those add up.
In fact, it can be significantly more expensive to do the death penalty than to sentence to life in prison without parole.
But once you factor in the fact that there are an increasingly large number of cases that have been overturned due to DNA evidence, improper police procedures, etc., a death sentence would not be corrected should someone be exonerated after they’re executed, means that life without parole should be an appropriate sentence for the worst offenders.

Sentence Reached for Dzhokar Tsarnaev in Boston Marathon Bombing
The decision — whether Mr. Tsarnaev receives the death penalty or life in prison — will be announced shortly; the jury is making its way back to the courtroom. New York Times reporters are in the courtroom and will pass along the decision as soon as it is announced.

Speaking of them, the big Race for the Cure Komen event is tomorrow in downtown Columbus. I just got back from going shopping at the downtown Krogers. I’ve gotten caught in the street block-offs too many times before.
Columbus still seems to make that a huge thing. Are they all that successful of a charity anymore? Have they gotten past the hit they took a few years back? It is hard to tell locally, because they are so dang big here in central Ohio anything negative gets shot down big time by the local media. Tomorrow is the greatest event ever. They usually raise over 2 million or more every year.

I’ve lost faith ever since they dissed Planned Parenthood. I was on their site the other day and it was excellent, so I must rethink my position.

I’m glad Varney got singled out as one of the worst offenders. One of our friends was on#sp=show-clips">#sp=show-clips”> Varney’s show defending his research that shows that luck is an important ingredient for success even for talented and hard working people. Varney was all insulted that Robert Frank believed that luck played a part in Varney’s success. But Varney undercut his own argument going on and on about the risks he had taken to achieve professional success. Too bad Varney is too stupid to realize that taking risks means you were lucky if you ended up with a happy outcome.
Frank got in one really good dig at Varney though. “I reviewed some footage before coming down. I would say, respectfully, that you consider the possibility that you’re very lucky.”
These conservative douche wads are heavily invested in the notion that success is an indicator of personal virtue while poverty reveals a lack of character and ability.

OK. The Most Distinctive Causes of Death by State, 2001-2010.
Only Washington (where I live) and Missouri are “meningococcal infection”. I wouldn’t have guessed that.
Oregon, Nevada, and New Mexico are “legal intervention”. I don’t want to think about that.

I almost gagged when I saw Morning Joke in that video. WTF was he doing, backing FOX to get in a dig at Obama and Hillary?
Joke Scarborough is still a frat rat punk as far as I am concerned. He is more concerned about his hair than getting anything correct politically. He jumps to stupid conclusions and never seems to admit he was all wrong.
And Mika just seems to allow him to walk all over her.
Talk about a dysfunctional political news show… there it is.
