Title: The 10 Big Lies About America: Combating Destructive Distortions About Our Nation

Author: Michael Medved

Rank: 83

Blurb: “Myth: The alarming rise of big business hurts the United States and oppresses its people. Fact: Corporations played an indispensable role in building America, and corporate growth has brought progress that benefits all with cheaper goods and better jobs.”

Review: “Medved doesn’t sugar coat slavery in America, but he does put it in perspective. I’m always amazed at how misinformed people are on the topic anyway. Slavery was tragic, and the United States shouldn’t attempt to hide from its involvement in the trade. However, slavery was as much a legal trade activity in the seventeenth through nineteenth century as trading oil today. We need to keep that in perspective.”

Rove Needed Mike Connell Silenced. Now Conveniently He is FUCKING DEAD!

GOP vote tampering stormtrooper Mike Connell died in a suspicious plan wreck Friday, after giving a deposition on Nov. 3 related to a civil suit on vote tampering in Ohio during the 2004 presidential election and, according to some reports, enduring threats from Karl Rove that he must take the fall for rigging the election results.

Akron, Ohio residents who witnessed the crash told investigators and media they heard Connell’s single engine plane approaching the residential neighborhood where it crashed, in an apparent attempt to make an emergency landing. One neighbor said they could hear the plane’s engine cutting on and off before the flaming crash.

Failed scold Kenneth Starr has filed suit on behalf of Prop. 8 sponsors to invalidate 18,000 legal marriages in California. “Proposition 8’s brevity is matched by its clarity,” his brief argues. “There are no conditional clauses, exceptions, exemptions or exclusions.”

And sure enough, here’s the spankin’ new Article 1, Section 7.5 of the California Constitution:

Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.

Thank god that his former church released Ted Haggard and his wife from their separation agreement, because it just wouldn’t be the holidays if we couldn’t continue to give thanks for Mr. Gay Face Is Fundamental.  And what better way to celebrate the season than by contemplating “The Trials of Ted Haggard”, the new documentary by our own SFL’s daughter Alexandra.  I for one look forward to watching Pastor Pillow Biter describe how the Baby Jeebus floated down on a pillow cloud to take away his lust for throbbing man meat and reaffirm his love for awkwardly poking around in his wife’s musty old box.  We should all be thankful for this, as there is no better way to lose all of those extra holiday pounds than by violent retching.

You’ll be relieved to know that Sarah Palin does not pal around with meth dealers.

No, not-yet-in-law Sherry Johnston was nailed for distributing Limbaugh-endorsed Oxycontin, first identified in 2001 as “Hillbilly Heroin” for its initial popularity in Appalachia.

Levi’s mom won’t be arraigned until January 6. Her new grandson is expected to drop sometime Saturday.

In tonight’s episode of Medical Condition or Woody Allen Movie? comes the explosive discovery that some people habitually sneeze after sex.

In other words: Be careful which Kleenex you use to wipe your nose.

Although the reflex condition is rare in the medical literature, British researchers suspect it’s more prevalent than anyone cares to admit. So they visited some online chatrooms to gather field reports:

This highly unscientific survey identified 17 men and women who reported sneezing immediately after having sexual thoughts and three people who sneezed after orgasm.

That’s right: the mere thought of sex is enough to set off sneezing fits. And when you consider how frequently everyone entertains pestorking fantasies, we’re surprised the entire race doesn’t come down with lethal hiccups.
