loooooooooool shep was all bent out of shape over possibility of no-texting-while-driving laws, explains in detail how much more dangerous it is to eat a big mac while driving, bummed that you can't drive 110 on the LIE
don't they have no speed limit in parts of montana? this is why i want to visit montana. but i guess that would get boring what with no other cars on the road. must join NASCAR
anyway it's like even moderate people on fox actually want some libertarian paradise where everyone has lots of money, pays no taxes, the government doesn't regulate much of anything ever, you can drive as fast as you want.. i'm not saying this sounds bad but maybe a little bit unworkable for 300+ million people?

i think obama's decision to hold a meeting that one might call a "Beer Summit" or "Beer Diplomacy" has endeared him to some of the people on fox
― daria, actually (daria-g), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link
it's funny because obama so obv has a distaste for beer

i bet obama likes beer but is unwilling cause another nationwide controversy by admitting that he prefers some weird microbrew or some snobby import over budweiser.
― daria, actually (daria-g), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 19:48 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah when obama had to do those bar photo ops during the campaign he would rarely drink his beer iirc, and if he did it would always be in really tiny sips. and when someone last night asked gibbs what kind beer obama liked he was so obv taken aback by the question that he spurted out "budweiser" and really no one likes budweiser and the press core called gibbs on that and gibbs was all "oh.. well... idk... what's wrong with budweiser!!" - i'm surprised hannity didn't jump on obama for enjoying beer owned BY A GAY EUROPEAN SOCIALIST CONGLOMERATE

fyi lots of people like budweiser incl me
― max, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 19:48 (fourteen years ago) link
sorry - i like budweiser too. what i meant was that it's obv no one's favorite beer
― meme-first attitude (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 28 July 2009 19:49 (fourteen years ago) link
apology accepted
― max, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 19:49 (fourteen years ago) link
actually, i noticed that gibbs was very precise, he didn't say obama *liked* budweiser, he said that obama *drank* a budweiser (when he was at the all star game, maybe?). a distinction with a difference!
also, i appreciate fox's chief florida-is-weird correspondent phil keating who appears to have never visited a barber nor purchased a hairbrush in his life, also the fact that clearly, fox doesn't care

i am grateful there have been no clips of sarah palin's last speech on any cable show i've listened to so far today. realized i probably dislike sarah palin less than many, many people because whenever she is on tv, i HAVE to change the channel, she could be reading the gettysburg address and that voice would still be physically painful to me. i think she's unqualified and wrong about everything but never actually listen to her speak. i can't! being the network correspondent covering her campaign stops last year would've required hazard pay or valium to calm your nerves or something
xpost - also grateful o'reilly said something that ridiculous, because now that canadian guy's point will actually get noticed. such a basic, simple thing but no US politician can say that since it'd cue instant bugout from the right "SEE THE DEMOCRATS REALLY WANT CANADIAN SOCIALISM"
oh, wait they're saying that anyway

The first study of drivers texting inside their vehicles shows that the risk sharply exceeds previous estimates based on laboratory research — and far surpasses the dangers of other driving distractions.
The new study, which entailed outfitting the cabs of long-haul trucks with video cameras over 18 months, found that when the drivers texted, their collision risk was 23 times greater than when not texting.

they reported precisely that about that study today on the show including the stat re: 23 times more likely to crash. that was the discussion that ensued!
i did text while driving a couple times on my last road trip & kept telling myself this is really stupid, right, i just won't text any more after this, but wait, i'm bored.. i am considering a move to a smaller city and buying my own car again, but my gut is telling me this is a terrible idea, as i have never been able to *not* do impulsive, stupid shit every now and then. the rest of the time i'm a really good driver & can navigate crazy dc traffic without a problem, it's when i get bored/impatient..

i want to rescind my vote for Hannity, because the answer to this question is so obviously Beck. Yeah I know he's got the entertainment wtf factor, but his whole schtick is basically tantamount to yelling (screaming, crying, blubbering, whining) "FIRE!" in a crowded theater every night. dude is a fucking pestilence.

It is amazing that after the last eight years, after all these yahoos were not only silent but COMPLICIT in enabling an administration that openly lied us into an aggressive war, spied on its on citizens, abused, tortured and murdered prisoners of war, claimed the right to detain US citizens forever without trial, that it's HEALTH CARE that drives them into argumentum ad Hitler.
