Is it possible to believe that Sarah “Mama Grizzly” Palin could have dabbled in hard drugs, had at least one extramarital affair, and at one time reveled in a real “fetish” for black men? Well, no, it’s not impossible to believe. Will the release of a new tell-all book claiming all of the above make anyone feel differently about the former governor and vice president candidate?

Wall Streeters rejoice! In addition to the socialist usurper Barack Obama, your firms will have a new scourge against whom they may throw their campaign dollars. You know, when they aren’t throwing them at executive jets stocked with hookers.
According to the always helpful ‘multiple sources’, the architect of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau plans to mount a campaign to take a Massachusetts Senate seat away from sometimes naked-in-a-magazine person Scooter Brown.
The real question is: Can she win? Well, duh, Massachusetts is beyond blue, Brown’s odd Tea Party backed win in 2010 not withstanding. Comment.
The GOP is a mastermind coalition of terrific genius. Seriously. They are like the one true faction in identifying a problem, but not looking to solve it fairly and amicably or perhaps with honor and nobility. No, not at all. Instead of taking their message to the streets by producing the best campaigns they can muster, and letting the voting chips fall where they may in November 2012, the GOP plans to put Rick Perry, or Mittens Romney, or that crazy corndog, Michele Bachmann in the white house by basically taking the ability to vote away from millions of people in the next presidential election.

On September 6, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder (R) signed into law a four-year lifetime limit on cash welfare benefits. Yep, that means exactly what you might think. Someone who qualifies for and receives welfare benefits has four years, and then they’re done. Now, here comes the really interesting part. Benefits will begin to be phased out on October 1. Yep, in a few weeks, people who have been receiving welfare benefits will be ineligible for any future cash welfare benefits. Continue reading
Despite my conservative leanings, I don’t hold out much hope at being impressed by the motley crew that makes up the current GOP Presidential candidates. Ever since my boy T-Paw left, I’ve been rather discouraged and I don’t think my mind will be changed tonight.
Here is tonight’s lineup:
Rick Perry – I hope this slick Texan has been doing squats as he is going to be the bottom of a big pile on. Can he maintain his Lone Star swagger?
Mitt Romney -Will the sparks muss up this man’s perfectly coiffed hair? Continue reading
We imagine John Boehner to be some sort of fat Congressional King laughing at all the political gymnastics he routinely puts the POTUS through. It’s like an ongoing game of “Wabbit Season/Duck Season” with these two! The latest: GOP Debate vs. Presidential Address. Continue reading
How many times have you heard politicians and pundits calling for “common-sense reforms?” How many times have you heard friends decrying the “loss of common sense,” or expressing a feeling that “no one in Washington has any common sense?”
Philip K. Howard wrote a book a while back called The Death of Common Sense: How Law is Suffocating America. It’s a catchy title, intuitively accurate, and good enough to land Howard an interview on “The Daily Show.” At first blush, yeah…no, hell yeah! I mean, lawyers suck, amirite? Whaddya call 1,000 lawyers chained together at the bottom of the ocean? A good start, ho ho ho! Hey, let’s tell more jokes like that down at T.G.I. Fridays, the first round of Sesame Jack (TM) Chicken Strips is on me! Continue reading
In a disgusting display, the Republican party is now trying to block a tax cut that NObama is championing.
Quick explanation: To pay for Social Security benefits, employers and employees have always paid into the system via a payroll tax. This payroll tax has been 6.2% paid by the employer and 6.2% of salary paid by the employee. This totals to 12.4% of everyone’s salary being paid into the social security system. Social Security payroll taxes are basically unavoidable, and they only apply up to the first $106,800 of a worker’s wages. Last year Obama cut this tax on the worker’s side of things, saving people up to $2,136 a year, or at the very most a solid 2% of their income. Continue reading
Champion of the little guy and GtCosita girlcrush Elizabeth Warren has filed an exploratory committee for the United States Senate in Massachusetts. This means that, if she goes forward with her candidacy, she will run against Scott “Cosmo” Brown in 2012.
Do you think she has what it takes? Or will her legitimate progressive cred be her downfall?
Hey, remember that anti-masturbation, pro-coven-witch Delaware Tea Party Candidate Christine O’Donnell? She ran for office and lost mostly because no one could figure out what she was talking about, and well, the whole coven witch thing? Basically she was some sort of Sarah Palin clone without the high-profile, but with all the requisite bubble-brained word mashing. Yeah well, she’s written a book about who knows…perhaps how to tend to a vegetable garden now that you’re a failed politician! She attempted to sit for an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan until he started asking questions in line with the book’s contents and then she imploded into a thousand stupid pieces.
Here’s what happened. Continue reading
