An Experiment in Adjusting an Alcohol-based Reality Filter.
The more beer you drink, the more the world seems to make sense. I'm not sure if this is the beer's fault, or the world's. Experiments proceed.
For pigeonholing purposes, I consider myself a South Park Conservative: I believe in Loose Women and Tight Borders but I'm getting anime porn and legally mandated lounges for day laborers...further adjustment to the model may be needed.

Working Family Party (socialist front group) hiring "oppressed masses" for #occupywallstreet campaign. Yes, now you too can rake in the big bux telling the world how oppressed you be because the Man wants you to pay back your student loans...!
President Obama's finance team is recommending a one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama's plan is to sneak it in after the November elections to keep it under the radar.
This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution - banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your account, will have a 1% tax charged.
~If your paycheck or your social security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction.
~If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank.
Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check into your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged.
~You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank.
~If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged. ~Oh, and by the way, you receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it in your bank. Remember, any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.
A Worried Nation asks Obama what his intentions are with this tax...
It's hard to view this film and not come away with a conviction never to hire, trust or associate with a Democrat again.
No one can watch this movie and leave the theatre without a profound sense of outrage at the calculated and choreographed attempt to destroy a good woman whose only crimes were to answer her country's call to service, work bravely and effectively for her constituents, and live by the values BOTH parties claim to desire.
It's not a question anymore of opinion or perspective. You watch Sarah saying what she said and doing what she did and you watch the jackals spreading their lies and filth about her. It's in front of you and you can't look away or change the channel or click to another website.
Yes, there are the obligatory talking heads, conservative pundits and members of her staff from her Alaska days, but the strength of this film is the irrefutable onscreen evidence of her actions and their results, and the irrefutable onscreen vileness, cowardice and hyposcrisy of those in both parties who tried to pull her down.
It's here, it's clear, deal with it. See this movie.
"For the past few years www.snopes.com has positioned itself, or others have labeled it, as the 'tell-all final word' on any comment, claim and email. But for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind snopes.com ..
Only recently did Wikipedia get to the bottom of it - kinda makes you wonder what they were hiding. Well, finally we know. It is run by a husband and wife team - that's right, no big office of investigators and researchers, no team of lawyers. It's just a mom-and-pop operation that began as a hobby. David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley of California started the website about 13 years ago, 20- and they have no formal background or experience in investigative research. After a few years it gained popularity with many believing it to be unbiased and neutral, but over the past couple of years people started asking questions who was behind it and did they have a selfish motivation?
The reason for the questions - or skepticism's - is a result of snopes.com claiming to have the bottom line facts to certain questions or issue when in fact they have been proven wrong. Also, there were criticisms the Mikkelsons were not reallyinvestigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of various issues. A few months ago, when my State Farm agent Bud Gregg in Mandeville hoisted a political sign referencing Barack Obama and made a big splash across the internet, 'supposedly' the Mikkelson's claim to have researched this issue before posting their findings on snopes.com. In their statement they claimed the corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking down the sign, when in fact nothing of the sort 'ever' took place. I personally contacted David Mikkelson (and he replied back to me) thinking he would want to get to the bottom of this and I gave him Bud Gregg's contact phone numbers – and Bud was going to give him phone numbers to the big exec's at State Farm in Illinois who would have been willing to speak with him about it. He never called Bud. In fact, I learned from Bud Gregg no one from snopes.com ever contacted anyone with State Farm. Yet, snopes..com issued a statement as the 'final factual word' onthe issue as if they did all their homework and got to the bottom of things - not!
Then it has been learned the Mikkelson's are very avid Democrats (party) and extremely liberal, as we all now know from this presidential election.
So, I say this now to everyone who goes to snopes.com to get what they think to be the bottom line facts ....'proceed with caution.' Take what it says at face value and nothing more. Use it only to lead you to their references where you can link to and read the sources for yourself. Remember, you can always Google a subject and do the research yourself. It now seems apparent that's all the Mikkelson's do. After all, I can personally vouch from my own experience for their 'not' fully looking into things.

I have found this to be true also! Many videos of Obama I tried to verify on Snopes and they said they were False.......Then they gave their Liberal slant....!!! I have suspected some problems with snopes for some time now, but I have only caught them in half-truths. If there is any subjectivity they do an immediate full left rudder.
www.truthorfiction.com is a far a better source for verification, in my opinion. The Mikkelsons are in the tank for Obama. There are many things they have listed on their site as a hoax and yet you can go to Youtube yourself and find on other videos of Obama actually saying these things. So you see, you cannot and should not... Trust Snopes.com ever for anything that is remotely political! I don't even trust them to tell me if email chains are hoaxes anymore. So goes modern journalism. There are cropping up numerous sites and blogs that openly challenging Snopes's findings, opinions, and outright claims.
A few conservative speakers on Myspace told me about Snopes a few months ago and I took it upon myself to do a little research to find out if it was true. Well, I found out for myself that it is true, so you might consider thinking twice before relying on Snopes.com for fact checking and do your friends the courtesy of tipping them off to Snopes political slant.
Many people still think Snopes.com is neutral and they can be trusted as factual.
We need to make sure everyone is aware that... that is a hoax in itself."
