Pence gives lessons in Stupid—as this hare-brained scheme so richly demonstrates.
Perhaps it sounded like a better idea in the original German.

And someone should tell the DGA that the correct term is “holes-in-one.”

‘Just In’ … sounds like a fan site for that teen heart-throb Bieber … probably with about as much substance!

They’re naming their state-run news site “Just IN”? “Pravda” wasn’t available?

Sadly, the Purdue University agriculture extension service has been railing against the ACA for years. /snrk

All at taxpayer expense, of course.

I would suggest Fox++, just to give it an air of legitimacy. It couldn’t be any less credible than Fox, could it?

When I went to Indiana University a long time ago, I took an undergraduate course where I had to read Pravda in russian. It was the worst drivel you could imagine. If Pence’s screed is only half that bad, it will probably qualify for a Pulitzer Prize. Not!

Thom Hartman had a piece on his show today discussing an op ed by Henery Wallace, FDR’s first VP. In it Wallace voiced the possibility of creeping American Fascism…In A part of his Op Ed he says “American Fascism can be easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact”. It was written in the NYT in 1944, and can be found on Thom Hartman’s site, July 18, 2004. That can easily be applied to FOX and other media outlets.

We can call it InPravda.

This guy was in talk radio before becoming a right-wing heart throb.

“Trolling” seems to be the headline writer’s favorite word. What does he mean by it?

Why don’t they call it “Pravda” or “Der Volkischer Beobachter” ?
