From Terror-Supporting/Terror-Sympathetic to Congrats to our Commander in Chief for helping kill terrorists. Tom Blumer, you’ve come a long way baby!
It’s clear wingnut bloggers DO NOT want to give Obama any credit. Most of their kudos are centered around the actions of the snipers and the commander on the ground. Nothing wrong with that, but clearly the President was involved and twice gave a specific green light for use of military force to rescue the captain.
So much for Obama is Carter II
So much for Obama making us more vulnerable
So much for [...]
Full Story... →Just so you know for sure there is no real rhyme or reason for how YouTube videos take off and get picked up, Tim’s video of over a month ago doubled views today thanks to mentions in Huffington Post and The Rachel Maddow Show tonight. It appears Tim has hit upon yet another meta theme that is catching on.
Again, seriously good work.
Full Story... →In an ongoing series here at Plunderbund we highlight the changes being made by our new President. We call it our CYCBI (Change You Can Believe In) series. Today, we highlight fuel efficient fleet vehicles and support of the domestic auto industry:
President Obama yesterday announced plans to buy 17,600 American-made, fuel-efficient cars and hybrids for the government fleet, the White House’s latest gambit to steer aid to the nation’s beleaguered automakers.
CYCBI
Full Story... →Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! So much for conservative ideology:
The list of governors threatening to decline federal stimulus money last month read like a list of Republicans considering running for president in 2012: Govs. Mark Sanford, Bobby Jindal and Sarah Palin led the anti-stimulus charge.
But what began with a bang is ending with something closer to a whimper. All three of those governors have been forced to scale back their expectations, to varying degrees, as the push of conservative philosophy gave way to the pull of political reality.
All three found that praise from the conservative movement in Washington [...]
Full Story... →Following up on this insanity is this great stop motion video by someone I will now be following. Wicked good stuff:
Patrick Bolvin’s stuff is really amazing. You should spend some time on his YouTube channel. He even posts some “the making of” clips that are cool to watch in addition to the actual movies.
Amazing.
Full Story... →After his ridiculous ranting on Hardball yesterday about our country being founded as a Christian nation, Ken Blackwell had me convinced that we was probably the most brain dead conservative leaders in the country.
Then along comes ol’ Rick Santorum spewing this garbage in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer:
Watching President Obama apologize last week for America’s arrogance – before a French audience that owes its freedom to the sacrifices of Americans – helped convince me that he has a deep-seated antipathy toward American values and traditions.
I’m sorry to have doubted you, Ricky. The title is still [...]
Full Story... →So the homophobic freaks over at The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) have been running this ad:
( notice the disclaimer: “the stories these ACTORS are telling are based on real incidents” )
Fucked up, right?
Well someone also posted a video of some “Auditions” for that ad – and they are all done in front a green screen…
We’re looking for some great ideas for what to put in that green space.
Full Story... →You absolutely must watch Christopher Hitchens rip Ken Blackwell multiple new assholes on Hardball.
Classic line from Ken Blackwell: “Christopher, I’m not going to let you bogart me.”
