Now, I’m sure the love of my two favorite people in all the world, the ridiculous bubble-speaking, national monument crashing, patriotism-blathering, hair monster, Sarah Palin, and her partner in a Bellevue Psych-ward, racist, slavery endorser, homosexuality-fixer, Crazy-Eyes-McGee, Michele Bachmann, is pretty evident, wouldn’t you say? Continue reading
You would think this is pretty much a no-brainer…well, you would be wrong. Michele Bachmann seems to think that the institution of slavery is just where she should rest her presidency-seeking laurels…endorsing it, creating make believe people who fought to end it, you know, just all around bastardizing American History and offending a large part of the nation with racist statements and all around stupidity. Yes, indeed, this is the way to win votes in this country. Let’s discuss the tenets of slavery…erroneously! Continue reading
Are we all naive enough to believe that Palin doesn’t think that she’ll be the Republican white night riding in at the last minute to save the day? I think we’re fairly certain that Sarah Palin believes that all these other jokers littering up the field are just there to be her opening act, and that once all the squabbling begins and the race just looks like a bunch of loons held together by Mittens Romneypants and Michele BachmannGooglyEyes (slavery endorser) the Zeus and Hera of all stupid things, this is when she’ll emerge like a Bumpit-haired buzzard dressed in a Starfleet jacket waiting to pick the bones of the GOP carcass. We do think this will happen despite her latest interview in Newsweek magazine don’t we?
If you’re like me, you may have seen a headline in your news feed Wednesday evening that read something like “Republicans Agree to Revenue Increases.”
Of course, because I’m an optimist, or, maybe, a dummy, I assumed that to mean that the GOP had finally come to their senses and realized that a large majority of Americans support modest tax increases as part of the package to cut the deficit. Again, though, if you’re like me, and thought this might be the case, you’re clearly a sucker.
I’m sure that I’m not the only one that had an email from the White House land in my inbox today, pimping the President’s Twitter Town Hall. Today at 2pm Eastern time, President Obama will answer questions generated by the Twitter-verse. Allegedly, the folks at Twitter have worked up a way to make sure that he gets questions that are being asked frequently and hit with the #AskObama hashtag. I’m sure they actually have, I just stink at technology. Continue reading
On May 2, 2011, Canadians went to the polls and elected our first majority government since the 2000 election. We re-elected the most right-wing Prime Minister in living memory with essentially unlimited power. Way to go us. Continue reading
Living in Florida is, how do I put this, interesting. On the one hand, I am 45 minutes away from the beach (Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean), I have access to tons of lakes, and there are tons of Latinos (my people!). On the other hand, you have Casey Anthony, the astronaut lady that drove for over 24 hours with an adult diaper on, and Rick Scott.
Rick Scott, our esteemed governor, has a 29% approval rating. He’s been in office for less than a year, and in his short tenure has cost the state over 100,000 jobs, high-speed rail funding, and any attempt to rein in urban sprawl.
Since Mr. Scott is so unpopular, I guess he’s been feeling lonely and unloved. So what did he do? He posted a letter on his website that you can copy/paste and send to the editors of your major (or hometown) newspapers, telling them what a swell guy Rick is. Continue reading
“It is my opinion that absent Rio Tinto’s mining activity on Bougainville or its insistence that the Panguna mine be re-opened, the government would not have engaged in hostilities or taken military action on the island.”
”Because of Rio Tinto’s financial influence in PNG, the company controlled the government.”
”The government of PNG followed Rio Tinto’s instructions and carried out its requests … BCL was directly involved in the military operations on Bougainville, and it played an active role. BCL supplied helicopters, which were used as gunships, the pilots, troop transportation, fuel and troop barracks.”

Monday night was the much anticipated return of comically egotistical, liberal blowhard Keith Olbermann. After much ballyhoo earlier this year that left MSNBC’s shouting mouthpiece out of a job amid copious rumors about campaign donations and other Gestapo tactics from the prolific sportscaster — now that he’s returned to his original time slot, but with a new home sponsored by none other than internet and manbearpig founder, Al Gore — was his return everything you hoped for?

I am so sick of Weinergate. It’s time for the next Congressional penis to go postal and wag about in an inappropriate manner!
Anyhoo. Continue reading
