I say this with immense pride: I believe I'm the master around here at coming up with excellent verbal insults (see: trouser stain), but I tip my cap to Clark's outstanding "Tupperware party for assholes..." line.
Jim, we should talk to Gilbert Arenas about the benefits to owning a handgun. Oops...there goes $93 million dollars owed to you!

Something tells me this thread is about to get derailed and fast.
Each morning I hop a bus to work from a bus stop just a few short blocks away from the childhood home of:

He sends his love.
Guns scare the bejeebers out of me. But the guy knows his way around a fret board.

When does Sarah Palin start this new gig? I may actually watch.

I'm going to honor Clark on Facebook tomorrow. Just you wait and see.
Check your Facebooks tomorrow, students. You will have an assignment for the day.

They just have these things recorded don't they and don't even bother to come in and report on actual important news when it's happening.

Let us know what you think of it, Matt. I've kind of been curious myself...

I'm not sure "honor" and "Facebook" belong in the same sentence, but have at it Gus. I'd consider it an, er, honor.

So here's my FB status, in honor of the esteemed Clark:
Your assignment for today: incorporate the phrase "Tupperware party for assholes". As in, "My 3PM meeting today will be a disaster...kind of like a Tupperware party for assholes." Post your results below. Thank you.

He gets credit here. I don't believe he's on FB, though.

No worries.
No worries.

::bites Clark's nose for being silly::
I credited Clark on the FB.
Happy?
Happy?

"So, Governor, do you think Nancy Pelosi is a wacko?"
"No, but seriously, is Nancy Pelosi left of Obama?"
"What do you think about Harry Reid's muckup?"
and the scariest of all
"Will we be seeing you running for president on the Tea Party platform in 2012?"
I had to keep switching to the Daily Show for Bill O antivenom.
Bill O'Reilly is the living embodiment of Ted Baxter; a pompous blowhard is all he is.

But then, I get a headache when I try to watch Bill O'Reilly, and I start yelling uncontrollably at the TV set, so maybe it's just as well.

We already know you get dumber by watching Fox News, and now it turns out the same thing happens when you watch MSNBC !! I can't say I'm surprised, after a few snippets of Rachel Maddow.
What makes you know more are NPR and The Daily Show!
The dumbing effect of cable news

The questions asked:
1. To the best of your knowledge, have the opposition groups protesting in Egypt been successful in removing Hosni Mubarak ?
2. How about the opposition groups in Syria? Have they been successful in removing Bashar al-Assad?
3. Some countries in Europe are deeply in debt, and have had to be bailed out by other countries. To the best of your knowledge, which country has had to spend the most money to bail out European countries?
4. There have been increasing talks about economic sanctions against Iran. What are these sanctions supposed to do?
5. Which party has the most seats in the House of Representatives right now?
6. In December, House Republicans agreed to a short-term extension of a payroll tax cut, but only if President Obama agreed to do what?
7. It took a long time to get the final results of the Iowa caucuses for Republican candidates. In the end, who was declared the winner?
8. How about the New Hampshire Primary? Which Republican won that race?
9. According to official figures, about what percentage of Americans are currently unemployed?

Of course, comparing Fox News to NPR is downright laughable.

I didn't give clearance for the use of "Tupperware party for assholes."
Expect a formal complaint from my attorney.

There is no statute of limitations on intellectual property.

Everyone knows that the media and the politicians encourage polarization as a distraction. Fight amongst yourselves and maybe you won't realize that no one knows how to solve our problems.

There are statutes of limitation on copyright, but I was wrong and you're within them.
