I was thinking the ravages of hate, but your description works just as well.

Don’t forget talk radio. More subtle but deadlier.

ā€œOnce again, we see what meth and cheetos does to people. Its a pity really.ā€

No. Its the Bible and Mormonism. Destroyed their brains. They think they’re doing God’s work. Perhaps He even speaks to them. Tells them they can over-ride the laws of the land. Jesus says ya’ know. Oh ya and um guns. Guns are our God-given right. Wouldn’t Bejeusus want us to own assault style guns?

Here’s a shot from prior to the surrender:

Well, to be fair, I suspect that some of that drop off had to do with this morning’s broadcast being during the average person’s work day. I know that’s why I didn’t listen. But it would be interesting to know how many people who were listening last night were supporters and how many were like us – the rubberneckers with a morbid curiosity to watch the car wreck.

There is an interesting article on OregonLive about the history of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Very interesting.

Shakes first, edits later. Har!

I would suggest Mare Winningham.

I kept wondering that myself, especially as I listened this morning (I was fortunate to be able to tune in at work). They kept talking about how many thousands of people were listening as evidence that the public cares about whatever their little occupation is about, especially when trying to talk Fry out of killing himself. Sure, there’s a well-connected network of loons who suffer from a combination of internet addiction and conspiracy theory obsession (and whose courage of convictions are such that they hide them in real life and only come out on the safety of the internet), but I’m sure that a good number of listeners were gawkers like me. And I had to laugh at Gavin Seim, because of course someone who bases his entire existence on selective comprehension of information would interpret listener numbers as a sign of full support. Of course he would.

There’s nothing wrong with Cheeto’s in moderation, but mix it with meth, the Bible, talk radio, and general low intelligence levels, it’s a straight shot to prison or self-destruction.

And right wing ā€œmediaā€ sources.

There’s only one thing to do with those photos: troll The Rump for his impression of Sandy. His supporters in the movement have a right to know whether he’d totally hit that, whether he can’t be delivered fast enough from the ghastly hippo, or whether Fry needs Republicans’ advice which rest room to use.

There were about 20-25K watching by the time David had his meltdown. I have a feeling from watching the comments that most were not regular viewers, nor will watch again (unless the batcrap hits the fan again).

PS – I can see why David was… nervous… about prison. He’s way too pretty for that.

Laurie Metcalf for Sandy; Jason Statham for Jeff

Isn’t it true that the Bundy cultists surrendered rather than turning themselves in? It’s not like they walked into a police station–they were surrounded by FBI and state police and had not a lot of choice in the matter, so surrender would seem to me to be a more appropriate term.

Maybe you know something I don’t about their use of drugs, but it appears you are just ripping on normal looking, everyday people. What’s that say about you?
