Since the following videos are in the top sifts at the same time as this video, it's curious to see which un-self-reflective people will fall for the idea that professional comedians are literally incapable of thinking of anything funny to say about a huge part of global news and culture. Under normal circumstances, nobody would agree with that idea.


Yea, as my joke was only slightly funnier than yours, I can see why you totally missed the point...

...that and the fact that if Dara used that joke you link, he'd probably be labeled racist or at least a misogynist. Case in point, 90% of Chris Rock's material is over-the-top in-your-face hilarious, but a white man would be run through on a pike if he said the same thing.

Its some relative of the Northern Pike and Muskellunge

To pimp my other video, there's a giant flash-mob party happening outside the White House:

ates-bin-Laden-s-Death-in-front-of-White-House
I may be okay with bin Laden being dead, but I'm a lot less comfortable with the big raucus cheering crowd. A man was killed, we shouldn't be celebrating like that.
Still, it's a huge catharsis for the American people. Osama bin Laden has been an uncomfortable reminder of the limits of American power. How could we be the greatest, best country if we couldn't even catch one man living in a cave?
It's been gnawing at us for the last decade. And now he's dead. Not of old age, not without us knowing it for sure, but clearly, definitively.
Soon, we'll have the grisly pictures of Osama's corpse on the front pages of our newspapers. All the indignity of his head on a pike, without seeming quite as barbaric.
People's minds will change because of this. I don't know if they'll finally stand up and demand that we declare victory, and bring our wars to a close. I don't know if people will finally relax, and stop their paranoia about terrorism, or at least let it go.
I just hope it doesn't renew our appetite for war...that really would be tragic.


Haven't watched your video yet, but I've watched some of the gathering outside the White House. They're screaming "USA! USA! USA!", which reminded me of the kind of jingoistic behavior the Dems condemned from the Repubs. I'm not saying those are Dems out there. I'm sure it's a mix.

It's scary behavior, because it's emotional and passionate. I'd personally like to see us shift back to a country based on reason not emotion. A country of law not vengeance. What bothers me most is this could very well be another stepping stone toward accepting fascism.

Your video, Rosamund Pike demonstrates how not to present an award, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

There's just no place to start with someone as blatantly dishonest as you

Well with a rational argument like that, you’re fully qualified to be a journalist for the Washington Post. Send in your application today while it still exists.

Hollywood, CNN, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, the NYT, AP, and PBS are not liberal bastions. They only appear to be to you because your viewpoints are so hopelessly skewed to the right of the scale.

A person such as yourself looks at the vast swathe of center/left to hard/left media and thinks, “nothing wrong here…” From this radical position, any news story that doesn’t hew to a leftist ideology offends you. So when a news outlet is actually 'fair and balanced’ your radical-left blinders force you to see it as being ‘right wing neocon'. You say the media isn’t liberal. Facts dismiss your opinion as incorrect and confirm my statements as accurate.

using another unrepresentative quote?

Unrepresentative? No. Totally representative. And know what? IMMA DOIN' IT AGAIN!

You said “I’m sure there’ll be sufficient oversight” and then made a few unsupported opinions related to this naïve assumption. There is no need to triple down in the repetition. It was a bunch of non-factual opinions based assumptions which deny reality and precedent. Every specious opinion about “sufficient oversight” was also made regarding the tobacco settlement. The bulk of that never reached the ‘victims’. Same for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Defense, and even the vaunted 9/11 Victim's Fund can't account for hundreds of millions of lost dollars. This'll be no different.

Apparently it won't be controlled by the government either, and both BP and Obama are saying "[t]his fund does not supersede either individuals' rights or states' rights to present claims in court."

1. Putting the fund under his pay czar is putting it ‘under the government’. 2. You can’t trust anything Obama says as far as you could throw a tar-soaked dolphin. 3. !I! was the one that said people can sue anyway. That’s the point. If people can sue, then let them go to the courts. That’s where this belongs. We shouldn't get into the BAD habit of creating government slush funds for every event that comes down the pike. That will just repeat the "failed policies of the past".

Oh - and just so you know - I won't get my knickers in a knot if you just use 'pull quotes' from my massive texts. That's common practice for brevity - nothing sinister. It would be a truly silly goofball who would take umbrage to that...

i'd love someone to try and defend theirselves with one of these. -- "if you have one of these by your front door"..... if you have one of these by your front door, the attacker is already close enough to make a mess out of you with a kitchen knife. There's no sense in standing under a shower of plaster raining down looking like a muppet as you crane this ugly, huge, clumsy, and cumbersome thing into your living room ceiling.


What about when your attacker is in full plate armour? Or in the midst of a pike formation? What then smartarse?

I want to see that womans head on a wooden Pike.

I can sympathize with the sentiment that this reform isn't going to be as meaningful as single-payer, but most of what she says about the bill that's coming down the pike is a re-hash of the false talking points Republicans use.

The bill requires insurance companies to insure everyone, regardless of whether they have a pre-existing condition or not (aka guaranteed issue). To prevent people from gaming the system and only buying insurance when they get sick, it mandates that everyone buy coverage upfront.

Becuase forcing people to buy insurance might be a big problem for people at the lower end of the spectrum, the bill includes subsidies that set caps on the percentage of your income you will have to spend on insurance premiums.

For people whose employers don't provide health benefits, there is a new, national "exchange" where you can buy private individual plans. These will be subjected to a number of regulations governing minimum levels of coverage, a minimum amount of money the company has to spend on actual benefits, and it will allow the individual customers to function as if they're part of a group pool (which allows for lower rates).

And that doesn't even cover all the reforms to reimbursement that are included that are the real changes expected to drive costs down...

It's a lot more of a rube-goldberg device than single payer would've been, and it is ultimately a far more moderate set of reforms, but it ain't crap by any stretch.

MILK IN A BAG?!!!! LITERS?!!!! A CLOTHES PIKE??!!!!!

I know its crazy and kinda sick, but I would like to see em when they are all standing there big and smug in their stupid umpire uniforms.

Then some dudes roll up with a catapult and launch a dead cow at them! Splatter!

Then the infantry moves in with pikes and shields. The cavalry roles up from the left flank and a hail of arrows comes down on them from the right flank!

Mean while back in reality some protester is getting his ass beat down behind a wall of dipshits in shinguards.

I'd like to see them do something similar with Captain Pike.

Obama is the most dangerous president ever. His ideas are going to drive this country right into the ground. This country is is deep trouble with him is at the helm. He will be voted out in the next election
In the last five months, according to the Federal Reserve Board, the money supply in the United States has increased by 271 percent. It has almost tripled. And he and his party still want for take over health care. Wait for the Hugh inflation coming down the pike.
About MSNBC -- They are an OBAMA puppet --


I smell a BillO sock puppet.
