Friday Political Sausage

Sorry for skipping out on everyone yesterday. If there’s someone else that would like to do a day or two of these a week, I’d be more than happy to share it.

  • Google-eyed Homonculus (copyright Charles P. Pierce) is finally getting recalled.
  • Of course he’s a white supremacist. Anyone else would have a shred of basic human decency.
  • Rick Santorum: Still a colossal dick.
  • This bill would actually do a great deal to improve the lives of millions of middle and lower class Americans at the expense of profit margins and executive salaries, which is to say it has exactly no chance whatsoever of becoming law.
  • Listen, I want the wingularity to come as much as the next guy, but we can’t be grasping at straws. For those of you that are unfamiliar, the wingularity is the point at which the insanity from the far right becomes so tightly wound that a major party figure says what they’re all actually thinking, i.e. “The President is a ni-CLANG.” or “I think women should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.”, thus finally revealing that all the crap about states rights and protecting the unborn is really just plain old racism and misogyny, leading to the collapse of conservatism as a viable national political movement.
  • This guy deserves a goddamn medal. These people are loonies.
  • I applaud Apple for taking the steps to at least recognize that there is a problem.
  • When “Too Big To Fail” becomes recognized by the mainstream as “Too Big To Exist”, by Matt Taibbi.
  • Anyone that thinks that Marco Rubio is going to magically win over Hispanics is a moron. That’s the same logic that equated Sarah Palin and Hilary Clinton. Marco Rubio couldn’t carry Matt Santos’ jock.
  • From a policy perspective, what do you do when you get pretty much whatever you want? You keep keep ginning up the membership with threats that just around the corner is someone waiting to take away your rights to blow away perfect strangers if they look at you funny, so you can continue to pass more and more insane legislation.
  • This is a nice thought, but it’s not happening unless the Dems manage sweeping wins and get majorities in both houses in 2012 and somehow manage to win over a few GOP votes, because the majority of the GOP will burn this country to the ground before they let a liberal President succeed.
  • If the ACA goes down, how does it affect Democrats? Badly.
  • If the ACA goes down, how does it affect Republicans? Badly.
  • Constant victimization is a trademark of the right wing media.
  • Antonin Scalia, Strict Constitutional Originalist, rewrites the Constitution on the fly.
  • There’s gonna be a “Daisy” ad this campaign season, and it’s gonna be awesome.
  • In which Antonin Scalia parrots Tea Party talking points.
  • I will eat a hat if someone can find me one person that can afford private health insurance and chooses not to have it because they want the cash and are willing to “roll the dice and take their chances that they won’t need insurance.”
  • This is called Breitbarting now.
  • Activist Judges! Activist Judges! Activist Judges!
  • Missouri grabs on to the crazy rail with both hands.
  • Paul Ryan: “The Generals are lying!” An Actual General: “…the fuck did you just say?
