Yesterday, Professor Glenn Beck informed his viewers, or should I say the scholars enrolled in his course “Obama- Will-Be-Rounding-You-Up-and-Jailing-You-Any-Day-Now -101” that a looming violent event is coming in America. Now, no prerequisites are required to enroll in Professor Beck’s class, as a matter of fact, the lower your level of education, the more likely you are to excel. Prof. Beck does not want anyone tainted with the brainwashing doled out by the liberal education system. No, the ideas of American Exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny were taught in one room school houses like those on the Little House on the Prairie, and our education system need not instill us with any more than that.
Jon Stewart didn’t bitch slap Helen Thomas last night, so much as he ushered her quietly out the door. Thomas, the dean of the white house press corps who is being sacrificed on the alter of AIPAC after she made some admittedly insensitive remarks about Jews residing in Israel, will be remembered for saying that Jews should get the hell out of Palestine” and go back to Germany and Poland.

In the 36 hours since Israel committed the war crime of murdering an unknown number of civilians on a ship they invaded in international waters, CNN and other major media outlets have turned their airwaves over to the Israeli propaganda machine to wage a one-way debate: a Goliath pummeling an absentee David. This is a conflict where Biblical allusions take on extra significance, where the old testament is waved about like a real estate deed and where the U.S. stands hip to hip, check by jowl and arm over should with Israel against the rest of the world brutally enforcing a military and media policy that can be summed up with the phrase FREE ISREAL, FUCK PALESTINE.
As an occupier, Israel is responsible for the welfare of the 1.5 million residents of the Gaza strip, 65% of whom are under 18. That is not some bleeding heart liberal moral code talking, that is international law. Instead, for four years running, Israel has put the residents of Gaza on a diet intent on achieving the fashionable “Nazi Death Camp look”.
Over the weekend, a boat filled with life saving supplies and 600-peace activists intent on reaching Gaza was raided and attacked by the Israeli military. The result- at least 10 dead and 30 injured. Continue reading →
(AP/Huffington Post) — Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says the potential environmental outlook for the Gulf Coast oil spill is “a very grave scenario.”
He tells NBC’s “Meet the Press” that it could take three months before workers attain what he calls the “ultimate solution” to stopping the leak — drilling a relief well more than 3 miles below the ocean floor.
Until that’s accomplished, he says, “a lot of oil could spread.”
Salazar says President Barack Obama has directed him to protect all of the assets in the region, including the communities that will be affected by the spill.
Salazar also appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union,” telling host Candy Crowley that the Gulf Coast disaster was “indeed, a massive oil spill.”
“It potentially is very catastrophic. And I think we have to prepare for the worst, as we have from day one,” he said. “If this thing continues to spew out, the ultimate relief here is going to be a relief well that may be 90 days out. And so we have to be prepared to make sure that we’re protecting the American public, the American environment, our treasured coastlines on the Gulf Coast. So we are ready to do everything humanly possible to get that done.”
The secretary also pointed out that BP, which operated the rig that caused the spill, would be held accountable.
“Our job is to keep the boot on the neck of” BP Salazar said of the company’s responsibility to clean up the spill.
Matt and Trey Parker did a funny thing- to get around Comedy Central censorship that will not allow them to depict Mohammad; they had the prophet in a bear suit. That got the freaks at RevolutionMuslim.com to publish a warning to the South Park Creators saying that they could end up like Theo Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was shot and stabbed to death by an extremist, for depicting Muhammad on their show. Below the warning were a picture of the murdered Van Gough and the addresses of Comedy Central’s New York office and Parker and Stone’s California production office. The Jihadists at Revolutionary Muslim say they are not encouraging violence, only encouraging their readers to voice their displeasure with Comedy Central. If one of those readers plows into the comedy central offices with a truck full of explosives, well then glory be to Allah.
If you think murder in the name of God is only for Muslims, consider our last president started our current war after- in his own words- speaking directly with God.
As Sam Harris quipped: The president of the United States has claimed, on more than one occasion, to be in dialogue with God. If he said that he was talking to God through his hairdryer, this would precipitate a national emergency. I fail to see how the addition of a hairdryer makes the claim more ridiculous or offensive.”
The USA is a country where more than 2/3 of the population apparently believes that Jesus Christ will come down and do his magic, orchestrate the end of days, whisk away those chosen few to salvation while leaving the rest us of to fall into a fiery pit with Satan. Look, any reasonable person will agree that strict adherence to Christian or Muslim belief systems are not compatible with the long-term survival of the human species. So, what do we do?
To comment on the situation, I am very luck to have on the phone with me today the prophet himself. Thank you for joining me your Fatwaness.
The Prophet Mohammad: (on phone)- Oy,Vey, don’t be such a schlemiel Fleetwood, please.
Davis Fleetwood: Let’s get right to the point: Would you support one of your followers martyring themselves for this South Park cause?
The Prophet Mohammad: (on phone)- I’m so Faklempt about the whole ting. First, I just want to say, enough already. I am all out of virgins. Second- who doesn’t like South Park already- Matt and Trey such meshuganas they are. Third, who has time for this nonsense? Aren’t there bigger problems in the world today? All right- I’ve got to go- this yenta got me tickets to the Jackie Mason concert- I’m going with Sarah Silverman. I’m gonna tag that ass. Wish me luck.
Davis Fleetwood: Thank you for joining me prophet Mohammad. For joining me today, the prophet will receive promotional considerations including free pair of his and hers Hermit with Davis Fleetwood underwear.

Stewart Vs. Fox, round 1,341 by Davis Fleetwood

This summer, the Right Network will premiere, making Fox News look like very middle of the road by comparison. Until that next chapter in the infotainment culture wars begins, it sure is fun watching John Stewart pick apart the regressive windbags at Fox.
Last week John Stewart ended yet another critique of Fox news hypocrisy with a line that could only have been penned by a team of highly paid writers when he said, in a shot heard round the internets, “You know I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, go Fuck yourselves.”
Stewart opened last night’s show by breaking down the Fox News rebuttal, offered up by Bernie Goldberg, whose sniveling direct address to Stewart served like slow pitch batting practice pitches that Stewart dutifully hit over the fence- erupting into a gospel number in which had Stewart dancing and testifying, gospel style, while he and his background singers repeatedly sang “Go Fuck Yourself.” And his writers earned their paycheck when Stewart said:
“Fox News is such a crazy overreaction to the perceived threat of the liberal pathogen in evidence at NBC, ABC & CBS, that it is like an autoimmune disorder. I’m not saying the virus does not exist in some small quantity, but you are producing way to many antibodies. Fox News: You’re the Lupus of News.”
As Stewart points out again and again, Fox cannot win this argument and maintain it’s “Fair and balanced” moniker. Stewart, as he himself contends, is not drifting into the news category. The News is drifting into his. Continue reading →
See the ad & take the poll at the bottom of this post.
In a Nike ad released today, Tiger’s dead father Earl- a known adulterer, speaks to Tiger from the grave as Tiger looks directly into the camera. The corporate parent of Tiger Woods can’t scold their golden child, so Nike resurrects Earl Woods to do it for them.
Nike is one of the only sponsors not to drop Tiger after his years long sexual rampage came to an end when his wife upsided his head with a 6 iron, sending him to the hospital and later into the protective cover of the hottest new celebrity confessional 12 step program- sex addiction.
In the new ad, Tiger never says a word. Before the Nike swooshes fills the screen, Earl Woods, from the grave, says to his son: “I am more prone to be inquisitive. To promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was. What your feeling are, and if you have learned anything.”
Tiger does his best to look contrite. To me, he looks like a rich spoiled 13 year old who just got busted for some really bad shit. Not your typical teenage shit, either – like smoking pot and having sex with your best friends mom. No, more like drunk driving your car off the bridge into a channel and then waiting twelve hours to tell the police that your date sunk to the bottom as well.
But is what Tiger did that wrong? One the one hand, it is not like he took performance enhancing drugs. He didn’t, for instance, have sex with Marilyn Monroe in the White House while the Cuban Missile Crisis was playing out. He did not lie to Congress, the UN and the American public to gain support for an illegal and immoral war that has killed over 1 million innocent Iraqis.
He just fucked a few waitresses.
On the other hand he does need to make things right with his wife, his kids, and his family. All of this vague public supplication (even though he will not say “sex addiction”), this kneeling and begging for forgiveness at the church of Dr. Drew so that he can reconcile himself with the corporate behemoth he carries on his back and get the assembly lines running again strikes me not so much as the actions of a Buddhist searching for his path but more like a Frankenstein monster programmed to run on the fuel of fame, money, and celebrity.
By appearing in the ad that Nike launched today, Tiger just began his metamorphosis that will transform him from this generations Michael Jordan into this generations Michael Jackson.
It is one thing to sell your soul, but in refinancing his deal with the devil and throwing in his father’s soul for good measure, Tiger Woods has just jumped shark.

Believe it or not, there some among us who have suggested that the Super Bowl itself is one big commercial for war, beer, capitalism, sexism and nationalism. To those people, may I suggest spell-check your incoherent scribbling in the communist manifesto because today we celebrate America. Today we celebrate the top ten commercials from the 2010 Super Bowl.
Here is no particular order, are my top ten commercials- vote on your favorite in the comments below.
