Welcome to The Now

Do you believe what you see ? Go to sleep . The Transformers game I've been waiting for. When Karl Rove is scared , that's a good thing. 

" The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now." He also said something about how the country was going to become far more conservative then we would ever realize, but I can't find that one. I say this because after reading this review of the first Democratic Debate , I am in awe of what has become so prophetic. I don't think a dissolution is in order, but I am getting a real V for Vendetta vibe . Why? Well, to be honest, we let this happen. We allowed one political party to slowly adopt policies that represent our deepest, darkest selves. Our fear, our hate, our confusion. Messages of exclusion. A call for punishing those just for being different. A disdain for violence, but not the tools that engineer it. We allowed the voices to cloak these beliefs in the garb of patriotism and morality, while the mannequins that are suppose to exhibit them indulge in adultery, bribery and treason. In short, ...

Please check the background before waving that thing like it was always intended to be a symbol of Southern pride.

Donald Trump is the first to fire a salvo at Ted Cruz.

" Killing Jesus " is set to broadcast on the History Channel in a few days. It's based off a book co-written by Bill O'Reilly. Yes, that Bill O'Reilly . Suffice it to say, there's some skepticism being cast on the program. Not really surprising, considering that some early reviews were not positive. And I don't mean because of the co-author's political philosophy; I mean because of things like lack of fact-checking and being historically inaccurate .

Future Batman Villain Alert . John Oliver weighs in on the Ferguson Report. Rude Pundit: Looks like the Republicans in Congress want war with Iran ...good thing I ran isn't exactly falling for it . Behold: " Moff's Law !"

At least, that's the message I'm picking up from this story on Bill Maher's reaction to the way the media has treated the two. If this is true, are we saying that because so many people think Fox News commentator are either (1) liars, (2) lousy journalists or (3) both we should just let what they say go? That we should just accept that a certain population actually believes the lies, and not bother to enlighten them? That the other news organizations will have to not only endure more scrutiny, but endure it under the false label of being "liberal?" Because if the answers to all of these questions is, "yes," while the people who have common sense and use critical thinking will eventually move on to more pertinent matters, dropping this will just reinforce conservatives who believe in Fox News. Sad thing is, it's not about them being conservative, it's about them having journalistic standards.

Jon Stewart shows us 50 Fox Lies in 6 seconds . Rude Pundit: Wherein the guy from Duck Dynasty has become the conservative standard-bearer .  Add "college-educated" to the list of things conservatives are against .
