On the first episode of the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert reintroduced "truthiness" to the world.
As defined by the Macmillan English Dictionary:
truthiness noun
the quality of stating facts that you believe or want to be true, rather than stating facts that are known to be true
Any videos stating,showing or blowing the whistle on blatant falsehoods are welcome here. They can be anyone, politicians, television personalities, celebrities, etc.
Well then, start hunting for videos!

He's some idiot who's saying that in 1999, he and Barack Obama enjoyed cocaine and gay sex together. He had a press conference today at the National Press Club.
First off, he acknowledged his 27-year long record of committing fraud and petty crimes. Then his disbarred lawyer showed up wearing a kilt, because pants were too uncomfortable for people as well-endowed as he is.
No one took Sinclair seriously, and immediately after the conference, he was arrested by the Washington police as a fugitive from justice.

This is the most hilarious possible ending to this lunatic's crusade.
Here's a clip from the conference:

So...I've been searching the internets for a while now for whether or not there were weapons of mass destruction found. Neocons (and their websites) seem to have claims that they were found and I'm assuming other "liberal media" (for lack of better terms) could also be biased the opposite way.
Does anybody have a link to OFFICIAL documentation that should be required stating whether or not our tax dollars were frivolously wasted or if there was some prophylaxes we've obtained through this wild goose chase.

I'll make this short and sweet.
Lots of political videos (similarly, EIA videos as well) have been posted, and after watching them, I'll be mad. Naturally, some of these videos are meant to make you feel that way. You know, the "well he said blah blah blah about blah blah blah" type stuff.
Now here's the problem... in that particular instance, I would never condone the content of the videos happening, but I felt glad that I watched the video.
On one hand, I don't want to upvote something that's terrible in a way, but at the same time... I feel it was worth the watch, I'm just not sure I'd like others to see it as well and feel the way I do.
Do I upvote the videos that've disgusted me in some way, when that's what the posters' intention was, as it was a disgusting video? Or do I just keep sifting?

We seriously need to outlaw corporations. Or at least allow torches and pitchforks back into popular vernacular.
This is a leaked official RIAA training video produced with the National District Attorneys Association telling U.S. prosecutors why they should bust music pirates: Because it'll lead them to "everything from handguns to large quantities of cocaine [and] marijuana," not to mention terrorists and murderers!

Tell me if this makes sense to you:
Ron Paul has pulled in about $33,384,686 in the last year or so in campaign contributions. The donations are still rolling in, even though, according to polls, hes far behind McCain.
McCain on the other hand, has pulled in slightly ahead of Paul in contributions, with a modest $37,036,094.
Now they are only 4 million dollars off, and Ron Paul has been known to pull in more than that in a single day.

Here is the thing that bother me so much. The average donation size is 89 dollars per donor to Dr. Paul. Do the math. Thats roughly 375108 donors. And of course there as FAR more supporters than those who just donate. So this leads me to believe that there are a SHIT load of people out there who support Ron Paul. So how is it he can be SO FAR behind an opponent who barley pulled in ahead of Paul in the donations? And considering Paul has a 100% disclosure rate of the fund and McCain doesn't, this baffles me.
I really got to thinking about this when I saw this video. Whats to keep people from rigging ballots? Whats to keep the media from keeping Ron Paul down? This has already been proven by all the major networks, even CNN especially in the last debate, where Ron Paul was given a total of about 5 minutes of talk time. CNN, one of the more "reputable and objective" news sources. Something doesn't seem right here. I have never been one to buy into crazy theories, but this really just doesn't add up. Is it just me, or does anyone else seem bothered by the fact that EVERYONE seems to want Paul, but none of the polls reflect that?

Well, I sat down and watched "Freedom to Fascism" last night, and I couldn't believe it. Every American needs to watch that documentary. I'm not going to go into a huge spiel here. If you want to know more, you can watch it for yourself. Federal Income Taxis illegal? You bet. It is absolutely dumbfounding that our government gets away with what it does. To think that every citizen in the nation is paying income tax when it it completely illegal and against the Constitution. You need to watch this documentary, then write your congressmen and suggest it to them as well. After watching the movie, My friend and I got to talking about social security as well. So far we have not been able to track down anything saying that we have to pay it either. Actually, by definition, it to is illegal. Anything you pay into social security does not come back to you. It actually goes into the general fund, thus making it a tax. And any direct tax on your wages, is illegal. So if anyone can find me something saying other wise, I'm going to call SSA to get a refund.
[Edit] Heres what the US Constitution has to say about direct taxes.
The 9th Amendment on Income tax - "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." Technically an Income tax is a tax on business. You do not make an income. You make wages.
Well watch the movie for a more intelligent explanation. I'm telling you, you wont believe it.

Hey. So, I was thinking about looking up a "how's it made baby carrots".
In the process of my search I found this article.
