Pulling The Wings Off Of Congress

"Michele Bachmann is kind of like Sarah Palin but without the charisma — or marksmanship. You know, maybe we should stop telling kids that anyone can grow up to be president of the United States." – Jimmy Kimmel
"Anthony Weiner is reportedly involved in choosing his successor. The first question he asked his potential replacements is, 'What's the difference between 'reply' and 'reply all?'' –Conan O'Brien

"A senior al-Qaida leader was arrested in Afghanistan and he was disguised as a woman. Police became suspicious after he was seen stoning himself." –Conan O'Brien

"Sarah and Bristol Palin made an appearance at a book store. Apparently, it was 'Bring Your Daughter to a Place You Never Go Day.'" –Conan O'Brien



Here is the link to the Stephen Colbert Superpac website, not much on there, unless you want to donate...

"The narrative of Conservative Victimization is the true genius of what Fox News has accomplished. Any editorial judgment in news, or schools, or movies, that doesn't favor the conservative view, is elitism and is evidence of liberal bias. Whereas any editorial judgment that FAVORS the conservative view, is evidence of merely fairness and done to protect them from liberal bias. And, if you criticize Fox for this game, guess what that's evidence of? How right they are about how persecuted they are. It is air tighter than an otters ass…They can't lose. But you know what this whole 'victim thing' makes Fox? Well, perhaps this term a friend of mine used once to describe the current presidential administration is most apt: [Cut to clip of Fox News' ChrisWallace telling Bill O’Reilly: 'They are the biggest bunch of cry babies I have dealt with in my 30 years in Washington.']" – Jon Stewart

I've been having the hardest time staying awake in the afternoons, which is when I usually post to this blog. The rest of my time seems to be consoling my brother-in-law's pet Brussels Gryphon, an extremely moody little dog who spends hours sitting on top of the couch and staring outside, waiting for him to come home from work... I use to use a folded piece of newspaper that I would slap against my thigh to get his attention and snap him out of his mood, but that scared the rescue chihuahuas my sister owns. It's bad enough that they stare at me like I'm the man who kept them in those tiny cages for so many years...

The Republican Party has made good on its promise to attract more diversity to its tent, by making itself attractive to the sixteen year-old males that like to set their old plastic army soldiers on fire and pull the wings off of flies... By refusing to negotiate over economic issues,  the GOP is now the official party of NO. They have shut down the state of Minnesota, home to both Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann, and they may shut down the US govt unless the debt ceiling gets raised., something that they had no problems voting for seven times when Bush was in office.

A few years ago I was reading a book on conspiracy theories, and it said that one of the plans of the Illuminati was to create crisis that would bring down and wreck the US economy, so that we are no longer a country that others look up to. I thought it was silly until recent events. The GOP has gotten us into wars that have no elegant exit and costing us $10 billion per month, they have engineered an economic crisis and recession to hand off to a Democratic president, and now they are stopping every effort he makes to get us out of it, especially if he has embraced and supported their own ideas... Tom Coburn and John Kyl walked out of the most recent attempt at finding bi-partisan solutions, the last straw being the proposal to look at eliminating federal subsidies for corporate jets. The cruel joke is getting us to believe they were even close to being serious... Along with everything else, the Republicans are the dupes of their One World Masters. Look at what the pundits are saying, even on Fox News, that it looks like the Republicans in Congress want our economy in turmoil and people in pain during the time that a Democrat is in the White House, that they are trying to make things worse so they can pose themselves as the solution for the next election. Yes, you lost your job so a Republican might win in the next election...

20,000 people lost their jobs in Minnesota this weekend, and we can celebrate what a great country we are, Happy 4th of July. The Afghan and Iraqi people are grateful for us invading their countries, yeah right, what reason do you tell our mothers now, when they learn their child has died fighting overseas. We can also add Yemen, Libya, and Somalia to the list where the CIA is conducting covert actions and may soon drag in more armed forces, because we keep playing the world's top cop...

This is all a form of craziness, and the right-wing sickos are calling the shots. Maybe it speaks for the tolerance we have in our country, giving 15 minutes of fame to every political hack out there that's revealing themselves as the next candidate for President. And even though Sarah Palin  looks like some weird opportunist trying to make money off of her popularity instead of finishing any plan she's made during the last three years, she is wise to keep away from the right wing circus that is the GOP Presidential field. For those who miss Sarah's public stupidity, there's Sarah-lite, or Michele Bachmann, who evidently gets her history just as mixed up, and gets John Wayne confused with John Wayne Gacy, a serial killer from her hometown of Waterloo, Iowa. We even have a Mit Romney-lite in John Huntsman, another moderate Mormon, who can never win unless we have a national debate about the authenticity of the Mormon Church, something they may not be able to withstand, being the Scientology of their times. Seriously, read the Book of Mormon, then compare it to the Bible or the Koran... We can celebrate all of this craziness, crack open a beer and enjoy the chaos it's causing, or we can take the reins as responsible adults and create timeouts for our misbehaving progeny. So far, I don't see any Independents moving back to the party they left in droves a few years ago...Yep, time to paddle those little brats...

Having said all that, I kinda like it that MSNBC's Mark Helperin said that President Obama was acting like a dick the other day. Instead of suspending him, the Obama administration should have hired him, to walk behind Obama and let him know when he is going over the line, too...


Knowing the state of Libya's troops, why haven't we won there, yet? NATO has blasted just about everywhere Qaddafi could be hiding. Fine, we get it, he can stay and live there because he loves the country so much, just don't let him run the government. Qaddafi can become an empty figurehead, like the Queen of England. Lion of Africa, my ass...

Besides, Libya has become soooo yesterday's news. Let's see what rebellion the CIA is cooking up in the Sudan...
