Let’s Not Forget About Michele Bachmann!

Everyone is paying so much attention to one crazy liar lady that they have forgotten all about the other one, the one who still holds elected office! Thankfully, Michele Bachmann is stepping up the crazy. World Net Daily —the completely insane right-wing “news site” that promotes and “researches” and obsesses over conspiracies like Obama’s Kenyan birth and the NAFTA superhighway and FEMA concentration camps —held a press conference on Capitol Hill to celebrate their successful campaign to have their crazy (but spendy!) readers send “pink slips” to members of Congress.

Some Almost Racist Watermelon Soda of the Day

Here is an example of people being bored as shit and trying to create issues out of nothing. The story goes like this, dudes go into a store in Harlem, they find a can of Watermelon soda with the face of a black girl on one side and a white kid on the other, and they decide to milk the black girl and call this company out for being racist, when the real racist is the asshole who thought it was racist to begin with because of the stereotype that black people like watermelon, which for the record they do. If I saw a black girl eating watermelon on a can of fuckin’ soda, the last thing I would think is that shit is fuckin’ racist, but instead think it’s affimitive action, cuz if they put a white bitch on the can, the black people would call the company racist for not including black people in their packaging, like they did with Barbie and every other toy out there.
