App to tell you if what you are buying is made by Koch

http://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2012/06/18/microsoft-programmer-turned-democrat-politician-plans-anti-koch-brothers-smartphone-app/

There’s a good chance billionaire industrialists and liberal whipping boys Charles and David Koch are making money off your weekly shopping cart.

If you’ve ever bought Brawny paper towels, Angel Soft toilet paper or Dixie cups, you’ve contributed cash to Georgia-Pacific, a subsidiary of Koch Industries.

If you’ve purchased a pair of yoga pants containing Lycra or a Stainmaster carpet, you’ve indirectly handed the Kochs your money: Koch Industries bought Invista, the world’s largest fiber and textiles company, in 2004 from DuPont.

You didn’t know that, did you? Neither did Darcy Burner, a Democrat running for Washington state’s 1st Congressional District seat — but once she learned how many household products are manufactured by the conservative billionaires’ companies, she decided to take action.

“Our democracy has been bought and sold by people like the Kochs,” Burner said, citing the Citizens United ruling that allows tax exempt nonprofits like Americans for Prosperity, founded by David Koch, to donate anonymously in unlimited amounts to candidates and causes. “When I’m out talking to voters, they say they want a way to take action.”

NRA now selling hoodies with pocket for concealed weapon.

These people are despicable.

"NRA Begins Selling Hoodies With Pocket To Conceal Handguns. The National
Rifle Association has a new item in its online store: hoodies, with a special pocket designed to conceal a handgun. Hooded sweatshirts have taken on new meaning in the last week as a symbol for Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed while wearing one last month."

Did anyone just see the David Letterman show where the guy who was supposed to be a

billiards experts screws up, curses and starts putting the balls into the holes with his hands? I can't figure out if he was a plant or if he really screwed up his shot.

Can the president order a jobs bill fixing bridged by labeling it disaster relief or something

like that? I remember the bridge that collapsed in WV when I was a kid. Can't he use some sort of preemptive jobs bills to fix these bridges to kills two birds with one stone, fix the bridges and jump start the economy also?

Will someone in the media please ask one of these "we are the job creators" "How many jobs did you

create last year?" Please? I mean we cannot keep letting them get away with this bullshit. Besides their lawn-care and maids most of them employ few people. Call them on it.

Anyone have a link to some compilations of Romney lies?

I just saw one the other day. A good video of Mitt Romney lies like a clip of him saying he was pro-choice followed by him saying he was going to get rid of planned parenthood.

I'm looking for some clips like that to keep in my favorites and to send around through email and on FB and I think we should all start circulating them and keep circulating them. We've got to keep front and center what this guy is really about.

I want to make a prediction right now. I bet it will come out

in the trial that, in fact Treyvon Martin never touched George Zimmerman and that he used a rock or something by Martin's dead body to scruch up his head to make it seem like there was a struggle. I believe that that there have been witnesses come forward to this fact. It is imposible for Zimmerman to have been scremeaning while being beating the way he way was supposed to have been beaten. There were no fighting marks accrding to the furneral director on Martin's body of a fight.

If Zimmerman had bruises that corroberated his story he would have shown them the night of the murder and have them photographed.

Dylan Ratigan is a whiny Fox news anchor that is playing on MSNBC

He constantly blames the president. He talks about how corrupt the government is with no discernment between Democrats and Republicans and he has even included the president in being corrupt. He needs to do that to hawk his stupid book "greedy bastards" so no matter what the subject or what the facts he always says the president is wrong and/or bad.

He has no business having a show on MSNBC. He isn't even objective. He sounds like a fox whore.
