Are we fools for working at regular jobs? Do something stupid that gets in the news or sing badly or get arrested in a creative way or …, then get famous and cash in. It may be short lived, but who cares if you make millions.
Anthony Weiner may have resigned from Congress in disgrace, but hours after the news conference at which he made the announcement, he was offered an Internet job with a raise, moving expenses, health benefits equal to what he has been accustomed to, and a fancy office in Beverly Hills working for an internationally known publishing company.
On Friday, porn magnate Larry Flynt reached out to Weiner in an open letter to “sincerely” offer the former congressman a job in the Internet group of Flynt Management Group.
“This offer is not made in jest. To show our sincerity, Flynt Management Group, LLC is willing to pay twenty percent more than your former Congressional salary, ensuring that your medical benefits would be equal to what you were previously receiving. While you will have to relocate to our corporate offices in Beverly Hills, California, we would pay for all relocation costs,” Flynt wrote in the Huffington Post.
Christopher Hitchen’s pleasantly eviserates the newly conservative David Mamet. Mamet was loathesome as a liberal. He’s even more revolting as conservative because now he has the certainty of faith, and thinks it’s reason.
People on both sides of the political spectrum are irritating because of their certitude and unwillingness to think. Ron Paul and Al Franken in the US at least use their brains and don’t follow party dogma. However they are few and far between.
Alfie, this is your last chance. Be a guy and lay down at least one genuinely funny Weiner joke. It’s just hanging down there.
Paul => Loveable old coot, but talks like Mr Peabody
Bachmann => Single issue candidate
Cain => Way too angry
Palin => The depth of a puddle and the Queen of Flip Flop
#17 Once again, the delusional sheep delivers. A solid sheep blind support to its masters.
I know you’re still upset you got a pic from Barney Frank & Weiner didn’t send you one.
#22
1)Inept Ad hominem
2)False claim.
3)Inept Smear
4)Hilariously wrong as it reveals your dependence on Progressive Propaganda Press.
Every possible Weiner double entendre, has been probed…
Its too late for an original joke.
In a Paul Shanklin parody, Barney Frank wants Weiner on his committee, given his qualifications, and Clinton left a message on his machine, addressing him as “Tony, THE Weiner….we should pal around some time…stud.”
#20 Its ironic your advice about post length is sound, while you say it meaning harm.
Brevity is essence of good communication…too many words only cause the eyes to glaze over.

“And the winner of the 2011 Republican Leadership Conference Straw Poll is . . .
RON PAUL
Those are the words – uttered just minutes ago here at the RLC in New Orleans – that are sending shockwaves throughout the entire GOP establishment. And it was YOU that made it happen! I can’t tell you how much that means to me. You see, at last year’s straw poll, establishment darling Mitt Romney defeated me by only one vote. But this year I defeated my nearest rival by more than 200 votes! That means the establishment can no longer deny the fact that there is widespread grassroots support within the GOP for a return to constitutional government. But it also means that the other candidates are being forced to realize the strength of our R3VOLUTION.
So you can be sure they will be going all-out to defeat me at the most important straw poll in the entire country – the Iowa Straw Poll in August. That’s why I hope you’ll agree to make your most generous contribution to help me WIN in Iowa. Because Iowa is the first caucus state, the results of the Iowa Straw Poll are watched by millions of voters throughout the country. They can launch a candidate to national prominence – or they can crush any hope of campaign success. So won’t you please agree to make a generous donation to help show that the R3VOLUTION is alive and well in Iowa? Your generous contribution will help pay for tickets, buses, meals, and material for my supporters in Iowa to attend this critical straw poll.
Our victory in New Orleans must only be the beginning. The Iowa Straw Poll is the MOST important straw poll in the entire nation. That’s why it’s absolutely vital that our campaign have a strong showing there. So please, help me shake the establishment up even more in Iowa by making your most generous contribution TODAY!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. Thanks to your help, I WON the important Republican Liberty Conference Straw Poll today in New Orleans. Now, it’s time to focus on Iowa. So please, help me WIN the Iowa Straw Poll by making your most generous contribution TODAY!

#21–foobar==thanks for the link. Nice quick read, but I’d have to read Mamet to check on Chris. His stage and movie dialogue is so stilted, I don’t know if I could hack that. Saves a lot of time to just agree with Hitchens?
Ha, ha. Its analysis not conclusions that are important. Give me the facts, let me apply my own bias.
The drug cartel uses the same tactics to sway official mexican swat forces to their side. :\
Huhh..I see the Circus is in Town..

NSA says what?
pedro, it is always the way.
When did Bristol Palin get a new chin?
Weiner was going to post another picture, but he couldn’t get it up.
Weiner of the 2011 Tony Awards.
Ok, that’s all I got.
ty Skeptic.
Alphie, If Obama loses the election (which I give a 30% chance of him losing), I hope Ron Paul wins. He is the only one with the balls to do the right thing and is in the same league as Pres Obama.
I don’t see Paul sucking up to the Christian Taliban nor Corporate godfathers. Refreshing, but he too might buckle from the pressure of the “system”. Way better than the ubetcha loon or that other bitch that surfaced from the sewer.
Forget Newt, he’s following Trump back to the cesspool. Hopefully some Mitt Romney and teenage boy pictures surface soon to cull the GOP herd some more. Still way too early.
Not an original joke, but…..
Now that Weiner has firmly placed his name in the public psyche he plans to eventually run for POTUS. His running mate will be the current Attorney General, Eric Holder. We can look forward to Weiner Holder bumper stickers.

Not sure I agree with you completely but I accept your premise. However, you did miss:
Obama => An administration built on lies and delivered with incompetence to the benefit of the rich and favored
#37 Obama couldn’t be a pimple on Ron Paul’s ass…
But you hit upon a little known secret…Libertarian and Classic Liberalism are in agreement in many areas…
And can caucus together:
