It's not often you see Jon Stewart's left-leaning "Daily Show" make segments satirizing sacred cows of the left so enjoy this rare one starring fake correspondent Rob Riggle, a former active duty Marine, who went to Berkeley, California to cover the protests launched by left-wingers against a Marine recruiting center:

Satisfaction demand denied.

March 12, 2008 - 21:03 ET by futbolisgreat1

this is the second time today that I am actually impressed with Balboa's word,

First in the NPR-religion blog where he said something to the fact that explaining the existance of God took less time than explaining religion and now this one.

Balboa, I bow down to your late found Conservative logic :) 

this is an awesome video, my wife and I were tearing we were laughing so hard. 

Of course it's the same

Of course it's the same video. Yours was posted yesterday. This one is posted today. That makes it newer. Sheesh.

Churchill Quotes

"One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half." - Winston Churchill

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." - Churchill's remark after Chamberlain returned from signing the Munich pact with Hitler

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." - Winston Churchill

March 12, 2008 - 17:19 ET by balboa

Thank you! That's all I'm asking for. I mean, it's not easy going around lightly annoying everyone on this site. It's much akin to poking a bear with a stick enough to get his attention but not enough that he decides to use my skull as a chew toy.

Reporter: "If only there were an organization sworn to defend that free speech."

Code Pink twit: "Wouldn't that be great?"

Ahhh, Berkley. That meca of higher learning and scholarship. Makes one wonder if the University should be sued for false advertising.

Is that this Code Pink twit watched the Daily Show and realizes what an ass she made of herself on national TV.

Unfortunately, I doubt she'd grasp the complexity.

March 12, 2008 - 21:52 ET by Hunter12

I wonder how the kooks in Berkeley will feel when this law goes into effect:

"South Carolina's U.S. Senator Jim DeMint recently introduced the Semper Fi Act of 2008. The bill would strip more than $2 million in earmarks from the city of Berkeley as punishment for the city council's vote to oust Marine Corps recruiters. Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia co-sponsored the bill, along with numerous other senators. "Berkeley needs to learn their actions have consequences," DeMint said. "Berkeley City Council members have shown complete ingratitude to our military and their families, and the city doesn't deserve a single dime of special pet project handouts," DeMint said."

Maybe I haven't had enough

March 13, 2008 - 08:49 ET by HelenS

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet today.  But I couldn't watch the whole clip because it was making me so angry.

There are some movies I don't watch, like "Monster", "Hotel Rwanda", and any other grotesque representations of actual events featuring demented or brutal people - I don't consider serial murder entertaining.  And watching the brain-dead pigs in Berkeley trying to sound so intellectual (echoes of "...Like, the Iraq... we need more maps..." of beauty queen fame) is enough to make me want to take my Les Baer on road trip.

I hope the SemperFi bill passes because those pukes really need to be scooped up and put in a paper bag, dropped on California's door step, and have the door-bell rung as we run away. 

There are unfortunately not enough derogatory words in the English language to describe the disgust I have for these slugs.
