When life hands you lemons, brandish a weapon and yell, ‘I will cut a bitch.’

The people who did this are not clowns. They unfortunately used our costume and our makeup to commit a monstrous act.

Hi, my name is Robert Erickson and I’m really excited to be here. It's people like all of you and events like this that make our country great! Give yourselves a round of applause!

I just want to talk about a couple themes this afternoon because I love this country, and I want to see America be the best place it can be.

Mr. Gutierrez is getting ready to propose an immigration bill in just a few short days, and we have to make sure he knows that we want a bill that’s tough on immigration. Now is the time for us to stand up and make our voices heard!

In Minneapolis, where I’m from, we have a huge immigrant population that’s been causing a number of problems. With the economy in recession, and so many people getting laid off, and unable to find work, immigrants should not be competing for the few jobs that are out there. It's just not fair to the folks who have a claim to this land and the right to be here. All across America, they are contributing to the flooding of our job markets making it hard for Americans to find jobs. Well I’m fed up, and its time to let our politicians know that enough is enough, and we’re not gonna take it any more!

We need to secure our borders to protect this country. We need to restore order and put an end to the anarchy that’s sweeping the nation. We need tougher immigration laws to make sure that we send these people back where they came from. We need to protect the sovereignty of the real Americans. We need to hold our politicians accountable.

Its no secret that with an invasion of immigrants, comes waves of crime. We see them involved in massive theft, in murder, and bringing diseases like smallpox, which is responsible for the death of millions of Americans. These aren’t new problems though; they've been going on for hundreds of years, and continue to this day.

I say its time for us to say "enough is enough!" Are you with me? Are you with me?

Let's send these European immigrants back where they came from!

I don’t care if they are Polish, Irish, English, Italian, or Norwegian! European immigrants are responsible for the most violent and heinous crimes in the history of the world. We're talking about genocide and slavery! I want more workplace raids, starting with the big bankers downtown. There are thousands of illegals working in those buildings, hiding in their offices, and taking Dakota jobs. Let's round them up and ship them out. Then we need to hit them at home where they sleep, I don't care if we separate families, because they came here illegally!

So, if we aren't able to stand up to these European immigrants, who can we stand up to? We need to send every one of them back home, right now.

Thank you very much, and we’ll see you in the streets!

Columbus go home! Columbus go home! Columbus go home!

In San Francisco, there is a masturbate-a-thon. Not only that, it's in its 10th year.

Apparently, the goal is to eventually make a charity masturbate-a-thon as mainstream as a walk-a-thon.

What do you think? Is it a worthy addition to the dance-a-thons and walk-a-thons out there?

You have reached your lifetime limit of iPad purchases and will not be allowed to buy more.

Scalping has always been an issue. However, should Apple be allowed to track individual customers' purchases over the course of a lifetime, and offer to sell or refuse to sell different products to different people?

"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic." - Joseph Stalin

A court in Bhopal found seven managers of the Union Carbide pesticide plant guilty of negligence after leaking toxic gas killed as many as 10,000 people in three days - with tens of thousands more dying in the years that followed.

Despite this, the charges that were brought against the managers were not homicide or manslaughter, but criminal negligence. Under India's law, this carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail.

"Why are we being insulted?'' asked Savitiri Mahe, whose daughter who died in the industrial accident. "We were demanding justice, and look what we have got . . . For 25 years we waited, and now after two hours this morning these men have effectively been set free."
