1. Why does Cenk look like he's in The Matrix in the still shot for this video?

5. I really need to stop listening to these types of stories

I am almost positive that one of these times my head will explode.

6. Why do they rip us off?

:patriot: Because we send people to represent us (give them power and control of our lives our paltry fortunes and our compromised honor), because they really want to do it and are willing to say whatever we want to hear for the privilege, when we should only send only those who are reluctant to do it, because they are willing to tell us the truth and believe we are able to handle it.

8. I love how Cenk never forgets to call out the Democrats as well.

I go insane everytime I read another post on DU blaming only the 'repugs' for the economic meltdown.
