In fact Jack Daniels is not a bourbon and the word bourbon appears nowhere on the label.

So does FOX - if you're so far to the right that you're in danger of falling off the edge...

P.S.: There's an apostrophe in "Jack Daniel's"

JoeBagadonutz: In fact Jack Daniels is not a bourbon and the word bourbon appears nowhere on the label.

came here to say that.
Nice troll attempt Subby
If you're making crap up, why not call it Scotch?

Glad to see the booze elitists in full force.
I'll add this: JD is a Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey.

What do we need the news for anyway? We have Rush Limbaugh, and he does all our thinking for us.

\love me some Jack Daniel's

In other news the old media is upset that they don't run things any longer and people have alternative forms of information.

Is this true? Im going to the dailykos to find out if i've been told to beleive this or not.

that's why I come to Fark. At least here I can see both sides battle it out without either having to fear being banned for their opinions.


I have no idea why people would voluntarily read Dailykos or WND. Even if you read the stuff just to pick up arguing points, you still may be arguing complete bullshiat.

Move the Jack Daniel's distillery a little ways north, and then it would be a bourbon. Not bloody well until, however.

If you're going to drink, at least drink the good stuff:

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: The internet makes it possible to get the news that is not slanted by the liberal mainstream media. And that pisses liberals off, as they want to control thought. :)

lol, see what I mean?

Hold on, I'm getting messages from the Huffington Post and Free Republic at the same time.... I now have no opinion.

Local Cynic, If your going to drink, At least drink the cheap stuff.
Go 5'oclock'vodka'n'tonic-pong.

It is better than only letting corporations decide what is newsworthy and what you should think.

Impossible.
If Rush Limbaugh sent you and/or you are Rush Limbaugh you have no thoughts to control.

FeedTheCollapse: I have no idea why people would voluntarily read Dailykos or WND. Even if you read the stuff just to pick up arguing points, you still may be arguing complete bullshiat.

Exactly.

The best way to figure out what the truth is is to find a position somewhere between two extremes and stick with it. Researching, investigating for oneself and applying logical thinking is for pansies. It's too farkin' much work to figure stuff out for myself so I'll just say they ALL suck and consider myself superior.

The truth is always in the middle no matter what the extremes are saying.

I don't think DailyKOS bans people for voicing dissent. They probably banned your ass for saying U LIEBERULS R ENEMYS OF AMURICA.

somehow Rushiathink you were banned for more than saying that.

I can counter that by saying that Hillary, Nancy Pelosis, Michael Moore, Barney Frank, Sean Penn, etc. think for you. :)

No, because I haven't shown signs of following or liking any of them. You have a username that says Rush Limbaugh sent me.

There was a video about this a few years ago... something about how Google gives news through one source, depending on what you want to hear.

"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government." Brilliant satire and furthermore the inspiration for a website which rates the partisanship of US pundits.

Um, you are just a token liberal who says the exact same thing as all the liberals that I mentioned.

The purpose of mmy screenname is to flush out the angry liberals like you and it works like a charm. :)

Hmm...
Liberal/a>
There you can look into liberalism, liberal!=disagreeing with Rush Limbaugh or being a conspiracy theorist who believes in a "mainstream liberal media".
You don't have to be a liberal to be angry at idiots who take Rush Limbaugh seriously.

JD is a bourbon, you appelation controlle' cheese eating pinky extenders.

It's called Yahoo pipes I use it to filter Engadget and Gizmodo of all iphone, Apple, and Google Android articles haven't tried it on Fark yet with political threads

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: By your logic, the Nazis had a point. Nobody can be completely wrong about anything. :)

I own you.

Irony really doesn't work on the internet. Sigh.

Bored Horde: I don't think DailyKOS bans people for voicing dissent. They probably banned your ass for saying U LIEBERULS R ENEMYS OF AMURICA.
I honestly have no idea. Even as a liberal, I have absolutely no interest in Dailykos. Never been there, just needed a quick polar opposite of WND (which I have been to and is completely batshiat insane) and DailyKos was the first to come to mind.


I've just never understood the point of going to a place with an admitted bias to get information just because their bias mirrors your beliefs. It doesn't mean you're getting the full story, you're just getting what you wanted to hear filtered for you.

masamune_knight: Move the Jack Daniel's distillery a little ways north, and then it would be a bourbon. Not bloody well until, however.

Exactly. The only thing that keeps JD from being bourbon is that it's not made in Kentucky.

For what it's worth, I would just assume keep that swill as far from my bourbon collection as possible.

Mars232: Scotch

eww.

Maker's Mark

bubbaprog: The only thing that keeps JD from being bourbon is that it's not made in Kentucky.

Is that an opinion?

Wikipedia says
Bourbon can legally be made anywhere in the United States where it is legal to distill spirits. Legitimate production is not restricted to Kentucky, although currently all but a few brands are made there, and the drink is associated strongly with that commonwealth.[4]

randomjsa: In other news the old media is upset that they don't run things any longer and people have alternative forms of information.

What "alternative forms of information?" Looking at the Fark main page, there are quite a few links to CNN, newspapers, AP stories, etc.

Bloggers are just people linking to the "mainstream media" (stupidest phrase ever) and giving their opinions on the information in those stories. There is very little actual reporting or news gathering being done by bloggers.

Jack Daniels is the Budweiser of whiskies

As a moderate, I'm generally content to vote for or endorse whatever the hell I agree with. I don't particularly care for either extreme, as they both label me their enemy.

I support gay marriage (or union) and stem cell research. I also support the right to shoot intruders and expedient executions for recidivist criminals.

We need more abortions, not fewer.

As an atheist, I have no problems with public crosses. The Ten Commandments have a place in courtrooms, right next to the Code of Hammurabi, as examples of historical precedent.

That said, I find right-wing attempts at manipulation to be so much more laughable. People attracted to the GOP tend to FAIL at bullshiat detection 101.

Dems tend to fail at BS 201.

I rule at bs detection, but fail because I don't actually do anything other than be right.

Oh well.

I'm gonna drink Budweiser and crank some Tchaikovsky.

/Jack is a bourbon like Connemara is a Scotch, might as well be, but ISN'T.

whatshisname: Jack Daniels is the Budweiser of whiskies

That's simply not true. Budweiser is crap.

NO!

The charcoal filtration- the so-called "Lincoln County Process"- is what keepd JD from being a Bourbon.

How've you been, man? It's been a while.

Yes, Old Media doesn't control the information any more, and that annoys them. They also don't have the last word anymore, and that really makes them crazy.

How dare one of you criticize a reporter or newspaper/TV network on here, where everyone can see it and stuff?

Partisans are mostly farked in the head. That's what happens when you spend all of your non-Fark time at Free Republic or Daily Kos.

Jack Daniels tastes very good on a cold day and stormy day like it is here. Yum.

Fark is a place to hear all kinds of opinions, kooky or not. Thank goodness for Fark.

rush_limbaugh_sent_me:

I've been banned for two hours by Fark for saying I oppose gay marriage.

Way to downplay the hate-filled screed that you posted during said opposition.

All the admins on fark are liberals. You'l see the same story submitted multiple times, and it won't get greenlit until it sufficiently bashes republicans. If it's bad for a democrat, it likely won't get greenlit at all. Fark has been slowly turning into the Dailykos lite for a few years now.

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: He's just a talk show host with a point of view, so liberalism is the only thing that explains your irrational hate of the guy.

It may explain that guy's irrational hate of Limbaugh, but I have a perfectly rational hate of him. My hate of Limbaugh extends to Al Franken, Ann Coulter and Michael Moore. These people are radial partisans who make their buck working the "wingers" on both sides into a frenzy. They offer nothing constructive to the political process. They will defend their own guy who is in the wrong to the death, but will call for resignations and impeachments over the most minor offenses perpetrated by the other guy.

I lean to the right on most issues. I agree with Limbaugh on many issues. However, the man disgusts me. Civil political discourse is the only way to keep moving forward while Rush and his ilk are busy pointing fingers and perpetuating a hate-filled political environment.

Also, Jack is not a bourbon ;)

Assuming you're not trolling, I've seen plenty of anti-Democrat stuff of Fark. shiat, when they got beat in 2002, every other political link was Republicans rubbing the lose in the Democrats' faces.

Maybe it's because the Democratic candidates are actually critiquing each others' (and the Republicans candidates, of course) stands on certain issues as opposed to playing "Who's more Christian?". Frankly, even though the Republican field is wide open, I think it's boring as fark because they seem to be content to argue over non-issues.

I was being sarcastic but it didn't come across well.

The point I was trying to make is that radical centrism is obsurd and hardly objective.

No it doesn't, but it also doesn't work with these losers which is why mocking them openly is for the best.

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: Get the testicular fortitude do admit you are a leftwinger and Rush pisses you off b/c he's funny as hell and conservative.

I'm not a "winger," left or right. I could describe myself as a conservative, but that might cause you to confuse me with a Republican.

Challenging a political opponent's statements is well and good. You lose me when you get to 'ridiculing.' Like I said, civil discourse is the only way to advance our society. Strict divisions along party lines with people feeling supreme loyalty to their 'side' is couterproductive. Name calling and finger pointing do nothing to advance society or make life better for anybody.

People's political decisions should be based on what they believe. Unfortunately, at the present many people shape their beliefs to correspond to what their party tells them a "conservative" or a "liberal" is supposed to believe. Rush, Franken and the like only make it easier to accept that mindset and further divide the electorate into polar opposite camps.
