As one who often gazes lustfully at cruise ships, I admit to a experiencing bit of schadenfreude when I saw this amazing clip of an ultra-luxurious cruise gone wrong. The passengers and the deck chairs are rearranged in something much like the Shelly Winters version of the Titanic. Dramamine is advised for those prone to be sea-sick.
This is just so typical of videos and email circulating through right-wing mailing lists. While Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi deserves one point for stating that President Obama is not a Muslim, although it shouldn't matter, Barbour then loses the point when he states that there's simply nothing known about the man, his childhood. his beliefs and experiences are simply shrouded in darkness. To parody the song "Wonderful World" rather poorly : "Don't know much about history, don't know much of the Obama story, but I know that if you read a book, what a wonderful world it would be." Barbour could start with President Barack Obama's autobiography "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance." He may find it to be far more informative than his weekly joke list and right-wing bulletins.
Ga'head, try it! What have you got to lose? This rather bland avatar shows men all they need to know to make the ladies swoon like a modern day John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever." Who better to research this topic than a group of science nerds? The free truth? Ladies love to dance. If you're brave enough to ask her you're in. (Restrictions: Guaranteed provided that you're not intoxicated to the point of falling down. Also null and void if reader literally 'hits the floor' to dust off "'Break dance" moves..a name which has an entirely new and accurate meaning after 30 years, and guaranteed to have you seeing with the stars.)
Factor fill-in Monica Crowley fawns over Scooter (lucky to be out of prison) Libby, bemoaning the wrongs done to him, and raising a frightening picture of Crowley as a benevolent president bestowing pardons. Oddly, Crowley doesn't mention the harm done to Valerie Plame thanks to "class act" Scooter Libby.
Golden boy, Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev is an extremely naughty boy, and it is our fault - yes it is! He'd like a paddle on the bottom..that's just an educated guess. You see, we have failed Ensign and other elected officials. While currently under an ethics investigation for an affair worthy of a soap opera, Ensign threatened business leaders in Reno "If you don't hold us accountable, we'll do some real bad things in Washington." You've been warned! According to Ensign, the Republican Senate is filled with libido driven toddlers re-living
their terrible twos.' Oddly, Ensign was one of the loudest voices condemning President Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky. I wonder if snaggle-toothed, no-nonsense Nanny McPhee is available?
Silver is appropriate for the Tammy Faye and Jim Baker of the Tea Party set who are taking their dynamic show on the road for forty pieces of it. Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck promise a 9/11 observance "So one could gather with patriots they will never forget." (I'm not exactly certain of how to interpret that sentence either.)
China: One lady's fortune cookie may have read, Falling cat on the hat may mean fortune for you! The gravity-doomed cat was better off not reading his cookie.
Boy I really enjoyed reading this letter! Friggin' A! Seems Ole Mike has had about enough of all this Right-wing swill becoming ascendant so soon after we thought it was about to die on the vine.
I admit it is hard to deal with though I have personal success in dealing with it by just imagining a large red ball on the end of the collective American nose. And big floppy shoes...
Many years ago having to listen to Rush Limbaugh fairly often trying to learn what he was all about, I found an effective and fun way of dealing with the pain of realizing tens of millions of people actually listening to his nasty swill.
Every time I hear Rush's voice or that bass lead, or see his image I imagine he and his best pal Billy "Jackboot" Bennett dressed up in Fredrick's of Hollywood having gay sex in a Motel 6, WITH THE LIGHT ON. Anyone got a picture of that, yet?
This is a rerun of an old "KNOW YOUR DISTRICT" video. Topical today not for Colbert promoting gun ownership for the violently insane, but for the ups and downs caused by Tea Party Wingnuts.
As you watch this video it is hard not to like this dying breed of a moderate Republican who handles a Colbert Interview with finesse. One wants him to beat that crazy Lady from Shady Lane.
The problem is that if this reasonable and likable man wins the Republican primary the Democrats will lose that Senate seat by 10 points. But if he loses the primary to Tea Party wingnut Christine O'Donnell the Democrats will win by 8 points.
What Democrats do between now and November won't matter. The only hope hope to put off a repeat of the horror of 1994 will be the extra voters who YOU give rides to the polls will change the outcome. Gas up and make some calls now to see how best you can help.
