Bill Gates on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart admitted that he’s been “Tweeting” for about a week now. When asked how many followers he has, he shyly avoided the question by asking Stewart how many followers HE had. To answer the question; “borg1“, Gates’ user name, has 17,244 err… 17,245 followers since I follow him now.
Oh wait! That was the “Family Values Crowd” that was talking about that… I forgot!! Hooray for the liberals in Massachusetts!! They’ve elected their first porn-star!!
If we’re going to celebrate the New Year – we may as well celebrate it like hetero-white homophobes!
PAT ROBERTSON: And, you know, Kristi, something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, “We will serve you if you will get us free from the French.” True story. And so, the devil said, “OK, it’s a deal.”
And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other. Desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It’s cut down the middle. On the one side is Haiti; on the other side is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, et cetera. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to God. And out of this tragedy, I’m optimistic something good may come. But right now, we’re helping the suffering people, and the suffering is unimaginable.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) offered a rare defense of Barack Obama on Sunday — and an even rarer rebuke of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — after the Arizona Republican accused the president of “leading an extreme left-wing crusade to bankrupt America.”
In what was a reversal of the role he played during the presidential campaign — when he stumped on McCain’s behalf and spoke at the Republican convention — Lieberman said he disagreed with the anti-Obama radio ads McCain is running in his home state.
“You know every now and then John McCain and I disagree sometimes, and that’s one of the cases,” Lieberman said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “So I don’t agree with that. I think the president understands the importance of bringing our government back into balance. Look he came in, in a most difficult economic time, inheriting a national debt that had doubled in the preceding eight years. I think you are going to hear from the president in the State of a Union, maybe earlier, about some tough medicine for our economy. We need it and I hope that there will be bipartisan support in Congress for doing that.”
I love it when Republicans New England douche-bags throw boomerangs into American politics. Especially when they’re cashing in on future 2012 presidential campaigns. Kudos to Lieberman for playing an Ace that he has zero-ownership.
Pretending to befriend Obama is nothing short of a sock-puppet of stupidity. But we already knew that, of course.
