Comedian Rush Limbaugh thinks that selling test grades, as recently proposed by some parents in North Carolina to raise money for their school district, was “a bold innovative approach” with “visionary promise” for the education system.
That the parents’ previous fundraising effort had failed miserably was also “lesson in capitalism” — when the legitimate sale of goods fails, turn to venal corruption instead and re-brand it as “innovation”…

I think you’ve got to be right about the comedian bit. Limbaugh must really be a character played by some actor. There really can’t be any other explanation I can think of. Other than the world really is coming to an end in 2012.
November 14, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Unfortunately, there are millions of “dittoheads” who actually regard him seriously and take their cues from his ridiculous bloviations.

You know it’s the end of civilization when the 3 ‘R’s are being replaced by corruption and capitalist greed.

His followers don’t evenr realize he’s duping them. He’ll say anything to get attention – that’s what makes him rich. If he was bland – no followers, no money.
He uses their stupidity.
November 16, 2009 at 2:50 pm
What a bunch of clueless ‘bots you all are. People who listen Limbaugh get his humor just fine. They know when he is kidding and when he isn’t.
It is you idiots who can’t tell the difference.
November 16, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Yeah, he was a big hit on that hilarious Fox News show that tried to emulate the Daily Show. What a laugh riot.
Conservative humour… an oxymoron.
You — just a moron.

Har!
You watch too much TV, RT. (CLEARLY!)
I blame it for your utter lack of a funny bone.
November 16, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Gezzentite is more a catamite than moron.
November 16, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Ti-Guy and you.
One is disturbed and projecting misogynist; the other a disturbed and projecting homophobe.
The Left ees so foony.
November 16, 2009 at 3:38 pm
hmm, seems like someone’s projecting themselves again. What’s next Guzz? Are you going to start boasting about weightlifting next?
November 16, 2009 at 3:44 pm
And I do believe RT has called me an “Islamophobe.”
Now, given the picture of the Jesus with superimposed the strike-out over Him with the link to http://outcampaign.org/ (down and to the right of his web page), that would make him Christianophobe (or something).
Of course, I truly believe it is he who fears Islam, given his inclination to disparage any religion but the most very violent one: fundmentalist Islam.
Brave, brave Sir Red.
November 16, 2009 at 3:46 pm
So Guzz, do you wank in front of your friends and family like this or is just a fetish you have to do it in front of strangers?
November 16, 2009 at 3:46 pm
“hmm, seems like someone’s projecting themselves again. What’s next Guzz? Are you going to start boasting about weightlifting next?”
Huh? I think you are a tad confused Saphic. You are the one making disparaging accusations concerning my sexuality. I was merely diagnosing your obvious mental infirmity.
You’re welcome.
November 16, 2009 at 3:47 pm
sure Guzz, keep wanking
November 16, 2009 at 3:49 pm
More projecting from the left, you freakin’ onanophobe.
November 16, 2009 at 3:51 pm
“So Guzz, do you wank in front of your friends and family like this or is just a fetish you have to do it in front of strangers?”
You are disturbingly familiar with this perversion, Saphic.
November 16, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Am I? Well if that’s true then you’d only know from watching.
So what are you up to you pervy little troll?
November 16, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Are you trying to engage in a little cyber-sex, Saphic?
November 16, 2009 at 3:54 pm
I believe when you do it it’s called cyber-masturbation. You seem to be a pro at it.
November 16, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Well, I guess you’d know best what it’s called, but I think you are a pitiful and disgusting little sicko, and we are all embarrassed for you.
November 16, 2009 at 3:57 pm
What? You have a group of people that you go and watch others? You are a pervy little voyeur arent you?
November 16, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Do you often speak in the third person Pervatite?
November 16, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Shit! You’re a ‘bot! You’re just repeating everything I say.
How foolish of me not realize it sooner. First I call you a homophobe who projects. Then you do the same in a slighlty different way. Next I accuse you of trying to get me to engage in cyber-sex with you … and then you accuse me of the same thing … in a slighlty different way.
Amazing. Let me try something: Saphic you are a dum-dum.
November 16, 2009 at 4:02 pm
“Do you often speak in the third person Pervatite?”
Third person? Explain. I think you are a confused ‘bot.
November 16, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Shit I’m a bot. Ooh internet threats from an old man. Did you learn about bots at Conservative HQ Internet training Pervatite?
November 16, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Third person? Explain. I think you are a confused ‘bot.
After years of trolling, he’s still using the same material.
November 16, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Its all what he gets from his Conservative mailing list.
November 16, 2009 at 4:09 pm
“Ooh internet threats from an old man.”
Threats? You mean the one where I threatened to taunt you some more? Canadian pig!
November 16, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Its all what he gets from his Conservative mailing list.
In addition to the ads for male escorts and numbers for the local meth dealers.
November 16, 2009 at 4:11 pm
meth dealers nothing, Pervatite probably has a portable lab in the trunk of his crackwagon.
November 16, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I love when someone calls me a Canadian pig. It only reminds me that Ive gotten under their thin greasy skin.
Thanks Pervatite?
November 16, 2009 at 4:12 pm
“After years of trolling, he’s still using the same material.”
We all can’t keep up with your simply amazing ability to come up with freash material all the time, Ti-Guy.
Like “pyscho.”
Or … sometimes … “Pyscho.”
Or … other times … “Pyscho!”
Or in your really original moments: “Fuck off, pyscho.”
November 16, 2009 at 4:13 pm
” love when someone calls me a Canadian pig. It only reminds me that Ive gotten under their thin greasy skin.”
Oh, nevermind. Ever watch a movie, dimwit?
November 16, 2009 at 4:15 pm
You mean those flickery things that they show on screens? Why yes. Are you going to do your Ned Beatty impersonation for us?
November 16, 2009 at 4:16 pm
wow that’s some awesome American spelling you’ve got there Pervatite
November 16, 2009 at 4:18 pm
A thousand pardons. Never mind.
Now: Ever watch a movie, Saphic?
November 16, 2009 at 4:20 pm
We all can’t keep up with your simply amazing ability to come up with freash material all the time, Ti-Guy.
I’m not the one who’s an obsessive troll and/or afflicted with borderline personality disorder.
November 16, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Ive watched many movies Perv. Which one do you want to know about?
November 16, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Its funny that you accuse me of homophobia yet you call me sapphic. Afraid of lesbians much Perv?
November 16, 2009 at 4:26 pm
Saphic, your problem is that you think you are smarter and more witty than you really are. “Pervatite” is lame (is this supposed to be a combination of “pervert” and “catamite”? As I said, lame.). You seem unable to do anything but copy what I say in a slightly different way. You aren’t funny. Your insults make little sense (“greasy skin”?). You are ignorant of the most popular of popular culture. You are obsessed witht he sexual activities of others to a disturbing degree. You stupidly try to correct spelling of others, when you can do no better (“Ive”?) and your punctuation is awful (this tends to reduce the impact of your insults). You. Are. Lame.
November 16, 2009 at 4:28 pm
so I have poor punctuation and you have poor spelling Perv. Big deal.
How am I ignorant of the most popular of popular culture. You haven’t asked me anything except whether I’ve watched a movie. I said I have and said to pick a movie to discuss. The humour of it all for me is that you dont have a clue what I do for a living these days.
Obviously I got under your skin because you reacted as such. My work is done.
November 16, 2009 at 4:31 pm
“Its funny that you accuse me of homophobia yet you call me sapphic. Afraid of lesbians much Perv?”
Saphic (sic) is a play on your name that I used in response to your homophobia. “Catamite” — at least in the English language — is not a play on my name. Saphic is kinda funny when used against a homophobe, in other words, knucklehead.
You: not so funny.
November 16, 2009 at 4:31 pm
What would be some examples of “the most popular of popular culture” be in your opinion?
Your pretentiousness cracks me up btw Perv.
November 16, 2009 at 4:32 pm
“so I have poor punctuation and you have poor spelling Perv. Big deal.”
I agree. At least we have that in common.
November 16, 2009 at 4:33 pm
“Obviously I got under your skin because you reacted as such.”
This does not make sense.
And I don’t care what you do for a living.
November 16, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Too bad, cause the “have you ever seen a movie” bit is hilarious.
So stupid and pretentious Perv.
Sorry I can’t help you with your comprehension Perv. Obviously you are a failure of the American education system.
November 16, 2009 at 4:37 pm
“Too bad, cause the “have you ever seen a movie” bit is hilarious.”
I see you’re dying to tell me. And you accuse me of being an exhibitionist?
Sorry. I just don’t care. But I will say this: You’re overpaid.
“Obviously you are a failure of the American education system.”
Wow! That’s Ti-Guy original!.
November 16, 2009 at 4:38 pm
So about that list of “the most popular of popular culture”…
November 16, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Yeah I’m overpaid and you’re jealous.
Funny part is every day your dollar collapses I make a little bit more. Yay for the Euro.
November 16, 2009 at 4:40 pm
By the way, apparently only the Canadian educational system teaches that “Obviously [sic] I got under your skin [sic] because you reacted as such [sic]” is good English.
November 16, 2009 at 4:41 pm
well at least I learned how to spell psycho correctly Perv…
November 16, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Obviously you are a failure of the American education system.
I dispute that. I’d call the catamite here a rare success of that system.
And isn’t that something?
November 16, 2009 at 4:43 pm
“Yeah I’m overpaid and you’re jealous.”
No. Just incredulous that you’re paid at all.
By the way, don’t brag about the size of your pay check when you have exactly zero idea of the size of the pay check of the person to whom you are bragging is.
November 16, 2009 at 4:44 pm
okay Perv, though Im sure your social security cheque is HUGE!
November 16, 2009 at 4:46 pm
“well at least I learned how to spell psycho correctly Perv”
Good for you! Me too, o unintelligible one.
November 16, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Wait, you probably get food stamps. Look! I put all of the punctuation in for you. Would you like me to use American spelling in the future so you can understand it?
November 16, 2009 at 4:48 pm
No problem there Perv. If I was you I’d consider leaving the spell check on full time. Never know when you’ll encounter a word with more than six letters.
November 16, 2009 at 4:49 pm
“okay Perv, though Im sure your social security cheque is HUGE!”
1) At least you’re off the “pervite” silliness.
2) Your ageism is showing, in addition to your homophobia.
What? Is? Wrong? With? The? Left?
November 16, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Wait, you probably get food stamps.
And government cheese. That’s my favourite part of the American social safety net.
No wonder they hate the government down there.
November 16, 2009 at 4:51 pm
What about that list of the “most popular of popular culture” Perv? You haven’t really provided any proof of your accusations.
Though its rather funny that a righttard like yourself hides behind the skirt of political correctness.
So much for free speech eh Perv?
November 16, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Government cheese, now that’s funny.
November 16, 2009 at 4:52 pm
By the way, Saphic, care to show me where is misspelled “psycho”? ‘Cause at 4:12, I spelled it right 4 times.
November 16, 2009 at 4:53 pm
“Government cheese, now that’s funny.”
Not really, knucklehead, but it could be racist.
November 16, 2009 at 4:54 pm
“Like “pyscho.”
Or … sometimes … “Pyscho.”
Or … other times … “Pyscho!”
Or in your really original moments: “Fuck off, pyscho.””
Do you mean those spellings at 4:12 genius?
November 16, 2009 at 4:54 pm
Wow Perv, you’ve taken to political correctness like a fish to water.
November 16, 2009 at 4:56 pm
“[Y]ou probably get food stamps.”
And that is classist, elitist, and also borderline racist.
And you still have no idea how much I make. So, you are also a big time fool.
November 16, 2009 at 4:57 pm
“Wow Perv, you’ve taken to political correctness like a fish to water.”
Indeed. But for you to say that means that I have been far, far to subtle for you, because you completely missed the point.
November 16, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Classist, elitist and apparently borderline racist. Who knew cheese was racist?
Now Perv, do you have any proof of your accusations? No you don’t.
I, however, got to hand you your ass in a basket over your spelling of psycho.
November 16, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Government cheese, now that’s funny.
A little research just now lets me know that that programme ended in the ’90’s.
I wonder what it was replaced with?
November 16, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Shh, talking disparagingly about cheese is considered racist by some Americans..
November 16, 2009 at 5:00 pm
“I, however, got to hand you your ass in a basket over your spelling of psycho.”
Yes, you do. So, do it.
Re your sins against political correctness: Da proof is in da words you use.
November 16, 2009 at 5:02 pm
“I wonder what it was replaced with?”
Cheez whiz.
“A little research just now lets me know that that programme ended in the ’90’s.”
You need to get a life.
November 16, 2009 at 5:03 pm
“Re your sins against political correctness: Da proof is in da words you use.”
Ha ha my sins. Perv actually thinks his worldview is some sort of moral and ethical bar.
November 16, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Re my spelling of psycho. You’re right.
I’m dyslectic, apparently.
I looked at it 3 times and didn’t notice.
November 16, 2009 at 5:07 pm
“Ha ha my sins. Perv actually thinks his worldview is some sort of moral and ethical bar.”
God, you’re an idiot.
November 16, 2009 at 5:11 pm
Sure, if it annoys you then I’m an idiot.
November 16, 2009 at 5:11 pm
dyslectic = dyslexic
November 16, 2009 at 5:12 pm
We haven’t even discussed your bigotry towards lesbians yet Perv.
November 16, 2009 at 5:15 pm
“dyslectic = dyslexic”
*shakes head*
Never mind.
November 16, 2009 at 5:16 pm
what about your bigotry towards lesbians? Seems like you are also a homophobe so to speak.
November 16, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Also an elitist and classist considering how you hold your views above others.
I won’t call you a racist because of your views of government cheese.
November 16, 2009 at 5:21 pm
“Sure, if it annoys you then I’m an idiot.”
That’s not really the way it works. You seem confused as to (1) what my “worldview” is and (2) whether “sin” has any definition that is morally neutral.
And just to help you out with “dyslectic,” there is this: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dyslectic
Try a dictionary once in a while.
You are welcome.
November 16, 2009 at 5:23 pm
“Also an elitist and classist considering how you hold your views above others.”
No. Only above yours.
“I won’t call you a racist because of your views of government cheese.”
Ah … good, I guess.
November 16, 2009 at 5:23 pm
dyslectic – having impaired ability to comprehend written words usually associated with a neurologic disorder
Yeah that’s definitely you. My apologies.
November 16, 2009 at 5:27 pm
“[W]hat about your bigotry towards lesbians? Seems like you are also a homophobe so to speak.”
Only if I thought you might be a lesbian, Saphic.
Sadly, I don’t. I happen to think you might be a thespian, though. As you can see with sapphire/saphic and lesbian/thespian, I am a punnist.
November 16, 2009 at 5:29 pm
“Yeah that’s definitely you. My apologies.”
Har!
You are an able-ist too.
November 16, 2009 at 5:29 pm
I never thought you had a gender preference Perv. To be honest I’m not all that sure you have a gender.
I guess that makes me no longer a homophobe. You’re system really works!
November 16, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
November 16, 2009 at 5:32 pm
That’s fine. At least we’re clear on it all.
November 16, 2009 at 5:34 pm
That’s your problem, though: Clarity. This is English but its meaning is not clear: “I never thought you had a gender preference Perv. To be honest I’m not all that sure you have a gender.”
Try explaining it again.
November 16, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Or is it just more meaningless, shit-on-the-wall, pro forma insults?
November 16, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Man Perv, what about some examples of the “most popular of popular culture”?
November 16, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Or maybe some movie talk as promised earlier. Let’s talk about film…
