President Obama signed the Farm Bill into law.
Thanks, Mr. President. You shouldn't have. No, I really mean that: You Shouldn't Have.
Why?? Because, that p.o.s. legislation is going to cut $8.6 Billion from America's Food Stamp Program over the next 10 years.
"What's the problem with that?", you might ask.
Well, in case you've been asleep from eating so much food of your choice... More and more people are relying on Food Stamps so that they can afford to buy - What? - FOOD.
Contrary to what the (shite-for-)brain-donors over at Fox TV have been soiling their diapers about...
1.) You cannot buy iPods with Food Stamps. 2.) You cannot buy fitness classes with Food Stamps. 3.) You cannot buy prepared foods, like giant turkey legs at Disneyland. and 4.) Seafood/Fish actually is Healthy FOOD that poor Americans have a right to have access to and need just as much as rich ones!
What can you buy with Food Stamps, Fox TV??
Repeat after me: F. O. O. D.!
Sigh... So many morons... So little common sense and compassion.
Here's a brief, bitter, yet funny clip from The Daily Show With Jon Stewart:
What Not To Buy: The Fox News network points out the fishier side of welfare benefits.

Daily Show: Friends Without Benefits. GOP Sen. Stearns Says FU To 1st Responders...
Off all the Bone-Headed, Idiotic & Infinitely-Offensive Congressional Amendments shoved into a bill before they'd begrudgingly approve it...
As if Congress's taking 9 yrs. just to pass a Healthcare Bill that would assist our 9/11 First Responders in paying for their medical expenses - paying for treatment of the cancers and the respiratory diseases they've developed after sifting through the World Trade Center Tower rubble (for weeks on end) - tirelessly searching through the still-smouldering devastation, dust and blood for remains so that those still missing could, finally, be identified and their families could, eventually, have some sort of closure... As if that wasn't enough ...
Nope, apparently not...
In an "Insult To Injury" Amendment added by Senator Cliff Stearns (R.FL)...
America's 9/11 First Responders (the ones who haven't already Died from injuries sustained doing those heroic duties) who submit a claim so that they can pay for their medical treatment, must first undergo a background check/be checked against the Terrorist Watch List before receiving money for their chemotherapy.
Ugh!... sometimes I Really Dislike human beings.
(From last night's The Daily Show.)
* I'd encourage you to watch the segment - in its entirety - as broadcast in the whole episode (It's the first segment in the episode). For some reason, Comedy Central chopped it into two pieces and "the whole is more than the sum of its parts" - as some wise person once said.

Daily Show: Tales of Principled Behavior- Obama Birth Cert. Mystery, Or Bill O'Reilly Just Blew My Mind
If anyone at any moment throughout my Life had ever suggested to me that I would be expressing the following sentiment, I would have been either: A.) rendered completely helpless for a good five minutes (at least) due to convulsing into hysterical fits of laughter or... B.) suggested that they had - in that very instant - simply become irrevocably insane.
The words that I never (in a million-trillion years) would have ever believed I would ever utter (not even in jest) are these:
Pappa Bear Bill O'Reilly has accomplished something which I would have previously considered Impossible - if I had ever ventured to consider such an unlikely act coming from the man behind The O'Reilly Factor (on Fox). A feat which, when I first watched the tape, left me momentarily stunned & speechless and one which I willingly admit is deserving of our respect and is the kind of use of time and resources for which I would encourage him to engage in more often.
What did O'Reilly do?
He spent some of his On-Air time during The O'Reilly Factor reviewing some of the most pervasive online myths regarding President Obama and then stating to his (inexplicably) wide audience that they are, indeed, False claims and then exposing the Truth Behind The Lie/Myth.
To say I was stunned to see the historically right-wing and non fact-checking Mr. O'Reilly's participating in Truth-Seeking and Myth-Busting - especially when it concerns our Democratic President and especially on-the-record and On-The-Air during his own program... is the epitome of understatement.
First, he Trumped ridiculous Wanna-Be Republican Candidate for President, Donald Trump, following the D-oh-nald's laughable attempt to lend credence to the already-busted and now simply delusional "Birther" myth/belief that President Obama wasn't born in Hawaii/America.
And that was just for starters.
Uh... Way to go, Bill! And, umm.... Keep up the great work!
(F.Y.I. ~ Hell has just frozen over.)
Here's the clip that blew my mind and... restored my faith in hum... (Nah...) restored my belief that Anything's Possible:

Is Fox News a Terrorist Command Center? Let's Follow The Connections...
Something for us all to ponder...
"Is Fox News a Terrorist Command Center?"
Honestly, I really don't know... not for sure.
And, neither does Jon Stewart, for that matter.
But, if you look closely at what plays on the screen...
Well, anyone can see it there.
Plain as day...
Notice what Jon is holding in his hands: a large, white note-card.
The very card which displays the names of certain shadowy and powerful men on it... written in black.
At the top is Rupert Murdoch's name, followed by a certain Saudi Sheik - one who owns the most NewsCorp stock outside the Murdoch family - and then, at the bottom, there's Former Mayor Giuliani's name.
If we were to go beyond the names?
Well, there's a maze of curious, deep and long connections which could be drawn between all of them... if one were inclined to do so.
And, saving the best for last...
There's that accursed yet ever present yellow highlighter...
(Cue ominous background music)
Enjoy!

Daily Show With Jon Stewart: CNN & Fox News Coverage Of Prop. 8 Decision
For Your T.G.I.F. Enjoyment:
I present this brief, but laugh-out-loud funny, clip from The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.
In this clip, Jon takes aim at both the "man-on-the-street" and in-studio interview-style coverage of responses to this week's precedent-setting decision by a Republican-appointed Federal judge to overturn California's Prop. 8 - which banned same-sex marriage - as being unconstitutional, as presented by several major news networks.
Enjoy!
