Tales From The Crypt

Posted by Bess Levin, Sep 29, 2008, 1:12pm

This bailout shit is serious and that's why we offer this bit of constructive criticism completely sincerely. Watching Representative Boehner up there on the podium trying to scare the ass out of people regarding what will happen if we don't pass this, I can't help but thinking that he should've taken up Bill Maher's suggestion from the other day to shine a light under his chin in order to make the scary story-telling more effective. And maybe drop the pink tie.

And he should have taken Maher's advice that all vaccines are frauds!

As is our scientific knowledge of germ theory. And that Jonas Salk didn't really stop polio with his vaccine.

Truly, Bill Maher has the answers to all of our problems.
