An awesome, yet little know in U.S.A, 70s metal band. The band, from Cardiff, Whales; had a major impact on metal bands of the 80s and 90s. The sound is a combination of Rush and Black Sabbath. Burke Shelly (bass/vocals), Tony Bourge (guitar), and Ray Phillips (drums). Shelly's voice resembles Getty Lee and Bourge's hard driving guitar riffs resemble Black Sabbath.
Budgie is underrated but very influentual. Metallica is a big fan of Budgie, they even recorded their song "Breadfan."

Get the Budgie mug.An awesome horror fiction writer! Bentley Little was born in Arizona after his mother watched the premiere of Psycho. He is a Bram Stoker Award winner, who can count Stepen King and Dean Koontz as fans.
"A master of the macabre"--Stephen King
"Rock-'em, shock-'em contempory terror fiction" --Dean Koontz
"A master of the macabre"--Stephen King
"Rock-'em, shock-'em contempory terror fiction" --Dean Koontz
Bentley Little takes on ordinary subjects and exploites and exaggerates their possiblities for nefarious activities. In The Store he looks behind the scenes of a Wal-mart-like mega store and the terrible effects it has on a small town. In The Policy, he looks a the very real scenario of insurance companies controlling and ruining lives. Most of Bentley Little's books are scary because they seem like they actually could happen.

Get the Bentley Little mug.The eight long years from Jan. 20, 1981-Jan. 20,1989. The Republican president, Ronald Wilson Reagan worked hard as commander in chief in the war on the middle class. The heinous eCONomic policy called "trickle down economics" or Reganomics cut taxes on the big businesses and the rich. This shifted the tax burden to the middle class and tripled the national debt. Dennis Miller described "trickle down" best when he acknowledged this truth: "they admit it-- they're gonna piss on you!"
Along with the terrible eCONomic policy, Ronald Reagan worked to destroy unions (remember air traffic controllers' strike?) During the Reagan Administration, the U.S. backed Saddam Hussein during his war with Iran and helped to establish the Taliban to help Afganistan fight off the Soviet Union. (Funny how the G.O.P. changed course on this)

Overall, the Reagan Administration was an awful, inept or just plain evil bunch of crooks. The bad effects of this era are still haunting us 20 years later.
The fact that theRepublican Party idolizes Reagan today is mind boggling!

Get the Reagan Administration mug.an unoffical term, used to describe the economic policy of President Barack Obama.
Obama, being a Democrat, thinks that economic policy should NOT make the rich richer while making the poor poorer. He is smart enough to realize trickle-down economics is absurd. If you strengthen the working class, then all people will benefit. Obama thinks the 90% of the population that is not rich is more important than the 10% who are rich.

Get the Obama-nomics mug.THE MOST OVERRATED PRESIDENT EVER! His reign (1981-1989) was marked by a huge shift in wealth from the middle class up to the rich. Reaganomics was the nuclear bomb dropped on the middle class in the class warfare battle. Reagan was very anti-union and during his reign working class wages fell as C.E.O. pay soared.Reagan cut taxes on corporations and the wealthy, by almost half, shifting the tax burden to the middle class. The resulting reduction in revenue, along with an insane peace-time military build up, lead to a tripling of our national debt.
Reagan also sold weapons toSaddam Hussein during the Iraq-Iran War and helped establish the Taliban in Afganistan to fight the Soviet Union.

The G.O.P. idolizes Ronald Wilson Reagan and want to continue his destruction of the American dream. The lasting legacy of our 40th president is: reganomics, the huge national debt and the rob-the-poor-to-feed-the-rich policies the GOP holds so dearly 20 years later. So many repubitards worship Ronald Reagan like a god it's no wonder they never get endorsements from unions, teachers or anyone with any sense of compassion.

Get the Ronald Wilson Reagan mug.This is a cold weather problem. Everything contracts when it gets cold, including the bladder.
Ever notice that the urge to take a piss dramatically increases when you step out into the cold?

Yeah, I better take a piss before I go leave, it's cold as hell outside, I don't want to have bladder contraction issues.

Get the bladder contraction mug.These are the the people who make the republican attack machine work. They work to promote and/or defend the agenda of the G.O.P. and to protest and/or defeat the agenda of democrats. These minions work through any available public forum--such as: letters-to-the editor in local newpapers, raising controversy and/or protests at town hall meetings, and on-line chat rooms. These republitards even submit definitions on Urban Dictionary to make racist remarks and spread out-right lies about President Barack Obama!
The republican party uses lies, deception and bullshit spreaders like Rush Limbaugh and faux news (a.k.a. fox news) in attemptes to keep Obama from fixing the Bush Economy or fixing our fucked up healthcare system!
By using the minions, the republicons try to create the illusion of a grass roots movement that opposes healthcare reform. However, an August 2009 CNN poll shows that 57% of the people know that the Republican attack machine is responsible for most of the backlash on healthcare reform, not REAL Americans!

To see the work of these minions, check out some of the sick Obama defs on Urban Dictionary! These sick republican bastards are trying to keep Obama from fixing the heinous mess George W Bush left behind!
