Is Alec Baldwin going to be on TV with Radley Balko also?

[Fist of Etiquette]

This smells like a clip show. Nobody likes a clip show.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Team Stossel, assemble!

[Fist of Etiquette]

Senator Garrett looks like a perpetual smirk machine.

[Jim]

He needs to give up the comb-over. Just let it go.

[Jim]

Selling shit to balance your budget isn't a long-term thing, because what happens in 40 yrs, when we already sold all the shit, and find ourselves right back here? It's like a junkie who sells his TV.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Gillespie and de Rugy!

[Fist of Etiquette]

Nothing is ever good enough for Veronique.

[Jim]

That smug Frenchwoman. BTW, the jacket looks like pleather.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Ha! These two will not cut Stoss a break. NOW NOW NOW!

[Fist of Etiquette]

Uh-oh, Stossel is going to get sued by the internet for showing this video.

[Fist of Etiquette]

The rate is going to be low if Obama passes a law saying the rate is going to be low.

[Jim]

Cute little Reason clip. She and Huffington need to get into a barely intelligible argument on-air.

[Jim]

ZOMG where did he get those scissors?! Do you need a license for that?

[Jim]

The commercial on right now has a talking gorilla in an airplane talking to a woman about annuities.

[Jim]

Draconian cuts!

Mr. Burns: "So, comparing me to old Draco, eh?"

[Fist of Etiquette]

Friedman!

[Fist of Etiquette]

The war with Germany will NEVER be over!

[Jim]

The Herritage Foundation can go to hell. We need to spend MORE on defense?

[Fist of Etiquette]

When the Heritage Foundation runs out of threats to increase defense spending, the foundation will start threatening America itself.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Cato thinks the rest of the world can take care of itself. Cato, you racist xenophobes!

[Jim]

One can only hope that they're going to let sick and old people die.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Republican Death Panels! Next on Stossel!

[Jim]

His moustache has "DNR" instructions left in case it's ever separated from his face.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Claymation commercial for cut rate hotel booking? They run out of Shatner?

[Fist of Etiquette]

That Paul Ryan is a handsome man. He must really have our interests in zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

[Jim]

It's been proven scientifically impossible to run out of Shatner.

[Fist of Etiquette]

And thank the final frontier for that!

[Jim]

Stossel is over 55? Looks good for his age. I assume that means he's 87.

[Fist of Etiquette]

There's a Galen Institute now? How many institutes do we need?

[Jim]

Wait, are seniors "smart shoppers", or are they constantly getting ripped off by scam artists, like I read in other publications?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Seniors are smart shoppers. As long as the shopping happens before the early bird special rush.

[Jim]

They're going bankrupt b/c of Medicare cuts? So why doesn't that "price signal" get them off their asses and onto the efficiency train?

[Fist of Etiquette]

The "resources of the state" apparently means a federal block grant.

[Jim]

Eww, he's talking about "experimentation".

"I'm not gay, he sucked MY dick."

[Jim]

NNNOOOO do not cut the nursing homes. I do NOT want an elderly relative living in my house, pooping and taking pills.

[Jim]

I like how "Rand Paul Next!" gets an exclamation point. "Next, a three-headed donkey! And RRROOOAAAADDDDSSS!"

[Fist of Etiquette]

Why do all these politicians do these remote interviews with Stossel from Caesars casino in Las Vegas?

[Jim]

I'm glad the Rand plan is getting exposure. I got so sick the last few days of people drooling over Paul Ryan and yelling "but it's better than the alternative! There are no other alternatives!" Well yes, there is another alternative: the Rand Paul plan.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Rand Paul is doing away with HUD? Why not instead just declare "I'm a racist and I can prove it!"

[Fist of Etiquette]

Constitutional amendment saying government MUST turn a profit!

[Jim]

Of course! Just make a law! Why didn't I think of that?!

[Fist of Etiquette]

I like Ike!

[Jim]

Rand is letting the defense / war hawks off light.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Why does Thomas Jefferson have green hair?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Don't straw man your next guest, John.

[Jim]

Because he was X-treme!!

[Jim]

In response to the "Why does Thomas Jefferson have green hair?" comment above. Fucking threaded comments.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Why does everyone blame the technology when they fail to use it properly? GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE.

[Fist of Etiquette]

This guy hawking Fiber One cereal has the complexion of a TERRORIST.

[Fist of Etiquette]

"Robin Hood in reverse"? I thought that was a sexual position.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Success is the new failure.

[Fist of Etiquette]

The rich need to pay their fair share! And everyone else's.

[Jim]

That segment was so hard-core, my dog pissed the floor and I had to go clean it up. At least, I'm attributing the piss to the program...otherwise, I'd be pretty upset right now at having to clean up dog piss.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Magic Jack! Did I make the marital aid joke on that yet?

[Jim]

You did, but a good joke deserves another mention.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Ha, standing behind that graph, Ryan looks like he just made the run down the bunny slope.

[Fist of Etiquette]

That joke is hilarious when you see what I'm referencing.

[Jim]

What seals the deal is the painting in the background, also of someone gesturing.

[Jim]

What if I like being on the road to bankruptcy?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Jack Welch? John shouldn't point to GE as the company that made things work.

[Jim]

Well that's it. Hopefully we can get the Ryan plan passed, because I know for a fucking FACT that we will NOT elect any bad congresses or presidents between now and 2040 to muck it up.

[Fist of Etiquette]

So you want dictators? You're like a teenaged Anikan Skywalker.

[Jim]

Pffft, I don't want dictators, I don't want democracy, I don't want oligarchy. I just want to be left the fuck alone, and by extension, my community. Past that, everyone else can go to hell.

[Fist of Etiquette]

REASON COMMERCIAL IN THE HOOOOOUUUSE!

[Jim]

Have a good evening, FoE. Time for me to go try to jog my belly off.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Take the dog with you. Let him piss on your neighbors' trees.

[Fist of Etiquette]

HFS, stop shouting at me, Judge. I'll never get to sleep.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Oh yeah, and Balko bailed. HuffPo makes people too big for their breeches, it seems.
