Seriously. I’m okay with paying taxes. But the dude who owns my house and makes more than me? He should pay more taxes. And the guy who sent out that sad letter about messing up Netflix? That dude should pay, like, way more taxes than either of us. via timetruthhumor: “It is wrong that in the United States of America a teacher or a nurse or a construction worker who earns $50,000 should pay higher tax rates than somebody pulling in $50 million.Anybody who says we can’t change the tax code to correct that, anyone who has signed some pledge to protect every single tax loophole so long as they live, they should be called out.”   —-President Obama (9/19/11)

Spider-Man wants you to vote!

This is terrible. Just awful. I love it so much, but it’s so weird. I’ve just seen it for the first time, but Ben Morse says he remembers it because it was on his VHS copy of Pryde of the X-Men as a promo before the movie starts. Man…the early ’90s!

Dear politicians: More of this, please. Stand up for what you believe in. Vote with your heart, vote for what’s right, represent your people. Be impassioned and compassionate and fired up. I love it. The more I see and hear and read about Anthony Weiner, the more I dig his vibe. 

Also, watch John Stewart interview Anthony Weiner on The Daily Show. Great stuff.

Just watch this.

Women of New York, if you see Rep. Anthony Weiner walking down the street, do the right thing and offer that man a friendly blowjob. (via)

Epic LOL. @maddow on the Republican/conservative teabagging movement. Further proof that Rachel Maddow pwns all and that politicians can make you chuckle heartily every now and again. Thanks to @badcoverversion for cluing me in to this vid.
