I made a coworker mad awhile ago, I made light of Faux news.
He said that Faux News was "fair and balance". I looked at him and said if they are Fair and Balanced then I have two legs.

3. Isn't it funny how the Faux watchers like to parrot their slogan?
Fair and Balanced! Fair and Balanced! Polly want a cracker!

(Good comeback, BTW, to your coworker.)

14. hopefully someone will enlighten him (or try) at the new place
on the other hand, when they are so brainwashed they parrot everything back to you, there's generally not much hope.

priceless comeback, though!

13. But, I have tried to show him where they are wrong but he will not listen.
He just keeps spouting their bullshit and does not take someone putting truth out there. I have asked him if he researched and looked at things from other sides and to get more information, and he does not. He takes everything they say hook, line and sinker.

28. Well I have kicked a few asses.
Even in the chair.

The one of most satisfaction was the guy who called me a fucking crip.

I made him wet his pants.

15. Funny, I said to MY co-worker today...if they are Fair and Balanced then
tex1928 has 2 legs!

OK, I didn't. BUTT... when they MJ verdict was about to be announced, the repuke said "oh, go to Fox News website"... and I (always loving to jab at him and Faux) said, "Dude, I know that's where you get your 'news' (and I made air quotes here and winked) but they are as good of a news source as MTV!"

:hi: tex... and :toast: to pissing off repuke co-workers!!

20. Yes, thankfully the one guy is a RINO... and we can usually be
good-natured about it.

But, you're right - some days you've GOTTA speak up!
