So, I recently directed a comedy video (*cough*PSA*cough*) starring Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green.  The video’s goal is to raise awareness of the giant budget cuts Schwarzenegger wants to impose on California Schools.  Say what you want about the video - you love it, you hate it - that’s not what I’m here to talk about.

The real reason I’m posting is to highlight this comment from FOD user, extra frenulum…

“Hey Brian,
I refuse to believe that your son doesn’t go to private school. In fact, I’m gonna find out, and if he does, I’m gonna make a video and call you out on it. Nothing I hate worse than a soap-box-standing pseudo-celebrity that pretends to care about issues he knows nothing about.

If your son, in fact, does go to public school, I’ll apologize and send this video to everyone I know.”

Unfortunately, Brian’s son does indeed go to public school, so extra frenulum is going to have to make good on his promise and send this video to EVERYONE HE KNOWS!  Why not just do a little research BEFORE you go on an insane rant? 

I got it bad…SOOOOO bad…

fringeelements: Now that’s just direct land ownership. On the land that is not directly owned by the state, people give up ~40% of the product of their labor to the state through taxation or inflation. Lets be sure to blame the problems we have on the small and shrinking portion that is still free, clamor for more mob rule and call it “democracy” and then say freedom really means free stuff. Wow and that’s just Federal. 84.5% in Nevada? Click for high-res photo

GOP Filibuster Record: Republicans Using Obstruction Tool With Astonishing Frequency

Obstruction Tools is what I’m going to call them.

The worst part is the voters are going to reward them for it.

“
Since businesses are obliged by zoning restrictions to locate far away from residential areas, most Americans drive to every store they visit. This means that store visits are often discrete trips that must be undertaken consciously and planned out ahead of time. As a consequence, shoppers will want to visit stores that carry the most diverse inventory—Wal-Mart, Costco, et al.—and avoid shops that specialize in one particular kind of good—the local paint store or flower shop, for instance.

Why Conservatives Should Care About Transit (via marco)

Good point, however it doesn’t enumerate why this is bad.
