Rand Paul: GOP Can Win Blacks If GOP Had A Clue


Putting a lot of effort into nothing can seem quite rewarding

“If Republicans have a clue and do this and go out and ask every African-American for their vote, I think we can transform an election in one cycle,...” 

As Bono sang, they still haven't found what they're looking for,...

In The Name Of Love

"Elvis the bumper stickers/ Elvis the white knickers/ Elvis the white nigger ate at Burger King and just kept getting bigger."

-- Bono, performing his God-awful poem, American David - a tribute to Elvis Presley - on Radio 4, which was unfortunately endured (like a bad odor) by The Times Online.

My Good Man

"Lying turns out to be a central theme and major mode for the Mystic Bourgeoisie, even if they call it their 'Mythic Journey'...."**

-- Christopher Locke, AKA "Rageboy" - who (word has it) is finishing his book on NewAgers - doing his best "to look sane and harmless", above, while laying out the central facts of the case against the Mystic Bourgeoisie.

**About that "Mythic Journey" AKA the idiotic "Never-ending search" for truth or meaning:

Because NewAgers are stupid they never find truth or meaning (which is why the search is never-ending: Garbage in/Garbage Out) so they have to lie about themselves and how they spend their lives - flitting from one acquired belief system to another.

As Bono (horribly) warbles in their theme song:

"I stiiiiiiiiill haven't found what I'm looking for"

And they never will.

“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”

You know, he could have been humming that at the very second this photo was snapped.

It could happen.

Taxday Bloody Taxday

U2 is out promoting their new album, Whatever the New U2 Album Is Called. And it sounds like some of their fellow countrymen are sick of Bono running around telling world governments how to handle their business, when he won’t even pay his fair share of taxes to his own:

Following a demonstration outside the offices of the Department of Finance in Dublin on Wednesday, campaigners continued their crusade on Friday in London.

During an “impromptu” gig by the band on the roof of the BBC headquarters, a small group of demonstrators staged a seemingly spontaneous protest berating the band for exploiting a tax shelter in the Netherlands.

Agitators held makeshift placards bearing inscriptions such as: “Bono: pay your taxes” and “Bono: don’t be a banker”. Another held a home-made sign with the caption: “We’ll downl’d it 4 free and give the money to charity”…

It is not yet clear if the protest in London forms part of a co-ordinated strategy by tax reform campaigners or if it was spontaneous. A number of prominent international organisations including Christian Aid and the Tax Justice Network (TJN) have previously criticised the band’s tax affairs since U2 moved one of its companies to the Netherlands in 2006 after the Irish government introduced a €250,000 cap on the tax exemption scheme for artists…

TJN estimates that funds held globally in tax havens could generate $255 billion (€200 billion) in additional tax revenues, enough to finance the Millennium Development Goals, a project that aims to halve extreme poverty, halt the spread of HIV/Aids and provide universal primary education by 2015, which has been endorsed by Bono.

U2 want to change the world. They just don’t want to pay for it.


Deceiver

Well Bono, I guess it's mostly "Without You".

“Because When I Do This My Hair Gets Sticky”

Sheryl Crow, in a desperate move to reclaim her hands and sex life, explaining why she purchased a $1.5 million dollar “Surrogate Elimination Droid” from door to door NewAge sales rep and guru Dawifrufli.

Dawifrufli , whose name in English means “Dances With Fruit Flies”, explains the droid works by a new process known as “Hyper-Quantum Telekinetic Elastic Waste Transfer”.

Essentially, Crow’s unique elimination aura is programmed into the droid, and when she has the urge to eliminate, the droid causes a teleportation module to transfer the waste across space and time to the droid for conventional processing, eliminating the need for Crow to wipe.

Said Crow, “I am very disappointed. I have tried this for a week and I keep wetting the bed and crapping my pants. My plan now is to sell this unit to Bono. That moron will buy anything”.
