By "losing," it means MURDOCH made only 40% of what he might have...

Tea Partiers Once Again Attacking Congress With Crazy Signs


There was another independent, nonpartisan "Tea Party" on Capitol Hill today! Just a buncha regular folks with funny signs that aren't at all racist but are a little bit provided by the RNC. Then they met a mean congressman.

This congressman was so mean that when an actual angry mob showed up outside his office screaming "LIAR" at him, in unison, he shut his door, rather than trying to engage this angry mob in some sort of rational discussion of... whether or not he's a liar, I guess.

Then this angry mob sort of hung out outside his office for a while, being angry. If they had been Code Pink they would've been dragged out of there by armed guards.

Hooray for America. Once the House passes the health care bill someone's gotta get shot.

Scientology Weight-Loss Shamstress Kirstie Alley Says a Bunch of 'Bullshit' on Today


Kirstie Alley was on Today this morning hawking Organic Liaison, her weight-loss rip-off. Asked if all the (true) claims about the link between Organic Liaisons and Scientology are true, which they are, she said, "Bullshit."

Alley scoffed at claims that the "top executives" of Organic Liaisons are associated with Scientology: "Top executives? I'm the top executive!" Indeed you are, Alley, and you are a Scientologist. So is your accountant. So are at least two of the five members of Organic Liaison's advisory board. So is virtually everyone who lives or works within a 500 meter radius of Organic Liaison's headquarters in Clearwater, Fla., a town that your cult essentially commandeered on the orders of L. Ron Hubbard.

But consumers who are stupid, lazy, and desperate enough to buy Alley's vitamin pills need not fear—no Organic Liaison profits will go to the cult, because Alley is "way to cheap to do that." That's true—she's only given Scientology a measly $5 million over the course of her billions of years of existence.

Rupert Murdoch loses hundreds of millions, haha.


Rupert Murdoch hath made an error, in business matters! His company hedged its risk on the enormously expensive Avatar, thereby ensuring that it will make only 40% as much as it could have. Here is where we all pretend that we knew that Avatar would make billions, and laugh at this rich, rich fool.
