B’Man’s Sabbath Watch: The Church of the SubGenius… Eternal Slavation or Triple Your Money Back

Funny Stuff!

Light posts for a few days:

This old redneck gets to travel to Yankee country today (driving up at $4/gallon). I’m headed to Cincinnati for robot training (you people thought all along that I was human???). I’ll try to hit a post or two while gone (should have internet access in the evening).

Watch out Frigid north. Here comes “sunshine”!

What’s The Difference between a Tennessee Democrat and Republican? Not Much…

B’Man: h/t Matt at ThinkProgress:

Last week, Fred Hobbs, a state Democratic Party Executive Committee member in Tennessee, told Nashville’s City Paper that for all he knew, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) “may be terrorist connected.” In a letter of apology to the Executive Committee, Hobbs now says he had that “incorrect” impression because he watched Fox News:

Dear State Executive Committee Member:
I am writing to apologize for my recent remarks about Senator Barack Obama.
My statements to various Nashville media were wrong and offensive. I apologize if my remarks in any way hurt any of our great Democratic candidates, including Senator Obama. Also, I apologize if my comments embarrassed our state or my friends at the Tennessee Democratic Party.

I was not as well prepared as I should have been when speaking with reporters, and I should have taken more time to research Senator Obama’s positions. My comments did reflect questions I had after what I had seen reported on Fox News, but I should have taken some time to check the accuracy of what I saw on television before speaking publicly. My statement that Senator Obama “may be terrorist-connected” was incorrect, and I apologize for making it.

B’Man: I don’t give a rat’s ass about Dems or THUGs. But I do care about why rednecks keep voting against their own needs and desires, which, in turn, fucks up my world. I can’t tell you how many times I have spoken to people who claim to be a Dem or Progressive and they only watch Fox News.

I mean, how stupid can one be?
