I did not think it possible, but Congressman Eric Massa appearing on Fox News Glenn Beck last night made Glenn Beck seem a reasonable person!  A real interview!  Though he did seem to call the Democrat from New York "...one of the most evil bastards I have ever met!"

This Cheney family just gets more disgusting as time passes. Starting wars, advocating torture, spying on everyone, no understanding of Rule of law or Due Process and now holding up a list of names claiming them enemies of America in league with terrorists. It's worse than McCarthyism. And then we have this lowlife boob of a guy Marc Thiessen adding to it by claiming the President is helping terrorists destroy American. Would somebody please throttle that ugly bastard?  Opps! Got a clip of Jon Stewart doing just that. Jon Stewart throttles Marc Thiessen

This guy makes my skin crawl. I include in this article not only a video of Jon Stewart doing a good job of not reaching across the desk and throttling the second coming of Joe McCarthy, but also a clip of Larry McDonnell of MSNBC almost coming to blows with the disgusting little bastard. 

In my weaker moments I can understand the intolerance and bigotry endemic to Governor Bob McDonnell, the fine people of Virginia and Republicans everywhere, it is their pride in it that passes me by.

Of all the issues at play in this nation, this is the one that has no basis other than bigotry for the sake of bigotry, hate for the fun of hating and intolerance just for the visceral joy of it. It is the nature of the Beast. 

I saw Tom Hanks on the conservative MSNBC show "Mornin' Joe" the other day pushing his new HBO miniseries, "The Pacific". At the end of the interview he did a short political rant leaving no doubt where he stood politically, OBAMA! PASS HEALTH CARE! OBAMA!

Hanks is you may know, the best liked man in America. Which got me thinking how sad it must be for conservatives to have no one to like in any area of the arts. Well there is Steven Baldwin, Ted Nugent and Bo Derek but gee...

How sad it must be for them to have no celebrities to look up to. Perhaps that is the reason behind the popularity of Sarah Palin, if not Sarah then Who?   

This is a serious discussion between Colbert and Washington Post Health Care guru Ezra Klein that makes the reconciliation understandable for those of us not well schooled in parliamentary shenanigans. Well done... 

What I find enjoyable about this is that I find myself laughing at myself. Boy is this a case of a point well taken into the wrong fight!  Reminds me off Christopher Hitchens (it is "Christopher" not "Chris" and woe be unto those who make that mistake) whose greatest enemies of mankind were Princess Diana and Mother Theresa (followed by the mad murdering rapist President Bill Clinton.)

That is yet another case where I find that I can agree with much of what that uppity snot nosed drunken prick has to say, but still understand only too well what a disgusting slug of a human being he is. But... He hid Salmon Rushdie in his London Apartment for a year so he has a free ride to say or do anything he pleases.

As this video progresses it gets sillier and more absurdly clownish as it moves along. But sadly this is how most Americans think. Just as most Americans believe torture is okay if Americans do it, that Miranda rights do not  apply to suspected terrorists - and even overall all its a bad idea, that lawyers who defend suspected terrorist are in league with the Devil, and that hidden military tribunals are the way to justice. In other words screw DUE PROCESS and RULE OF LAW. Oops, Screw DUE PROCESS and RULE OF LAWS unless "I" am in trouble.

So what does that tell us about most Americans? Are they really that stupid or more likely... Has some political party made them so crap-their-pants afraid of everything that they can no longer think straight? 

I mean gosh, what a... I can't even come up with a name. He is so disgusting on every level one would think Rush Limbaugh would be quoting him and Glenn Beck would have him on his TV show. Oops, Rush has already been quoting him and he will be on Glenn Beck tonight or the following night.

Though his story of tousling his male aide's hair and saying he would like to "Frack" him was rather tame, I did enjoy his story of entering his shared room on a Navy Ship last year to see his roommate "imagining he was with his wife" and asked "You need help with that?"

"Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn, he is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive. I am showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me." The Hill on Massa

I wonder if Massa and Beck will be drawing Rahm's unit on that infamous "blackboard of nonsense?" Or perhaps Beck will finally move his show up an intellectual notch and they will have a circle jerk!

This rather hidden and innocuous story of local Houston politics this morning caught my eye. It realizes something I had not thought out properly. Their are not two entities pulling the GOP apart, but three. Split among local GOPs spills over into Facebook

In this case the light shines upon a Fcebook argument between Religious Right activist and talk show host Terry Lowry and Republican County Judge Ed Emmett. Emmett became very popular down here for putting politics aside in dealing with Hurricane Ike. He was the face of reason Houston looked to on television during the greatest natural disaster in our history.

Terry Lowery wants Republicans to enact litmus tests regarding how much they hate and despise abortion and homos. If they do not express enough hatred for either, then they should not be allowed to run for office in Texas as Republicans. Judge Emmett disagrees, open tent and all that.

So there we have an example of the old schism in the GOP, the social conservatives versus the moderate Republicans whose only real concern is keeping their money away from the government.

But lo and behold comes a third rail in this ugly stew of dark hearted selfish intolerance and bigotry, the Tea Baggers who don't much care about abortion, homos, or rich county club bankers. They are an aging version of the Ron Paul/Ayn Rand Looneytarian faction that were so loud on the Internet during the last election.

The Tea Party movement is all about ideology, based primarily upon their confusion over the constitution, their poorly hidden bigotry concerning States Rights Forever, and an overwhelming personal hatred of Barack Obama who happens to be a bit off color. It's all about an evil big government which has no right to tax them for the common good. The common good is socialism, pure and simple. 

This menage a trio gives an even greater chance of a third party emerging before November which there could be no better news for Democrats!

The GOP needs a new slogan to tie these three groups together, and I just happen to know that that is. Something they can all agree on in full, but please... Shhhhh Don't say anything.

MORE GUNS FOR WHITE PEOPLE!

Sadly as far out of the celeberity loop I am, I have no idea who Zach Galifianakis is. Or where he came from of what he has done. From the start I assumed he was some guy how snuck in the building like the dreaded Salahi's. But not so well dressed. Whoever Zach Galifianakis is, he is funnier than the Palins' at a NASCAR free grab basket.

Could the Election of Sarah Palin as President in 2012 cause the end of the world? Who knows, we will find out soon after the trailer slabs are poured on the South Lawn of the White House... 

This is especially hilarious if like me, you have no idea who Zach Galifianakis is. Other than a celebrity who should have changed his name. Or maybe he is such a funny guy he did change his name!  

Have you heard this lately?

This is a government takeover of health care!

That is THE talking point of the Republican Party. I have never heard any single piece of political propaganda repeated more than that one. It is repeated because it is short, simple and easily assimilated by the simple minded. It defines who and what we are, that the American Government (answerable to the people) is an evil entity out to destroy freedom and liberty while it is far better to have Dow Chemical, Goldman Sacks, Citibank and Wellpoint (answerable only to the profit for the wealthy board of directors) controlling our lives. Which is crazyshit.

This basic issue was covered by Michael Moore on Bill Maher the other night but needs repeating. The earthquake in Chile was hundreds of times more powerful than the earthquake in Haiti.  300 were killed in Chile compared to 300,000 in Haiti. Chile is a regulatory big government nation, Haiti is THE Ayn Rand Libertarian and Tea Party Republican paradise with no central government denying freedom and liberty through regulations. The difference is 100 times more devastation including 299,700 more bodies.

This is a 4 year old thrown out of pre school for God Sake! Gosh... Not only for the intolerant sexual bigotry endemic to the Catholic Church, but the unconscionable belief that children must suffer the sins of their parents! Anathema to the very core of what this nation stands for. It is more than disgusting on all levels. Though on the good side this is one less child for these dirty old men to get their filthy hands on.

Be clear that the responsibility for this is NOT on the back of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School where the staff spoke up against the ruling, but upon the Denver Archdiocese and its trail of shit leading to the Vatican in Rome.

The Denver Archdiocese has it written down:

"No person shall be admitted as a student in any Catholic school unless that person and his/her parent(s) subscribe to the school's philosophy and agree to abide by the educational policies and regulations of the school and Archdiocese."

They also contend the child will suffer "confusion" if allowed to attend their school. Confusion my ass, this is as clear as can be to all concerned, especially to the child as it grows up.

There is no law against these creepy crawlers purposefully hurting not only a 4 year old child, but the parents as well. Tax the Church. 51% across the board. TODAY! NOW! End the recession! 

You know I am often asked to slow down on my religious angst. That it is paramount in helping the majority witted unattractive Americans fight off loneliness, find acceptance with others like them and that they mean well. There is something to that of course, but religion does cause great harm. I am also told that was in the old days, that  things are different now. There is something to that too, but...

Put all the horror of the Islamic theocracies aside to find there is an even greater harm done upon humanity by this specific Dark Age religion.

Both the present Bad Pope and the previous Good Pope SHOUTED to the continent of Africa that they should not use condoms. The result of that has been the death of millions  more women and children than any genocide in history. And to make matters even worse, the reasoning is that the Vatican wants to see much higher unsupportable population rates on the continent of not only Africa but also the over populated areas of Central and South America.

Republicans sure hate Hollywood. Well unless they dig down far enough to find a Sonny Bono to run for office. At the top of the heap these days is Stephen Baldwin who they may have run for Governor of Oompa Loompa.

This video is well worth the time just for the few second clip from Michael Moore's movie CAPITALISM in which we find that the problem with Republicans is not just that they fail to discern what is real and what is not in the realm of religion and the American dreams, but that actors in movies are actors in movies. IT'S NOT REAL!  

Sarah Palin and family have been in Los Angles now for over a week sopping up the media they pretend they despise. Seems even as millionaires they often stop breeding long enough to scarf up whatever freebees they can get their paws on... 

Who but Bill Maher could cover auto erotic asphyxiation deaths and make it funny? He goes on with the evenings theme that the Republican problem is they don't know reality from fantasy. 

New York prosecutors this week found that because of excessive editing by conservative James O'Keefe, the three ACORN workers shown in the videos are innocent of any criminal wrong doing. O'Keefe - the hero of such Right-wing uneducated luminaries as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and above all Sean Hannity - is presently free on bail for felony intent to tap the phones of a United States Senator. ACORN workers absolved

This is funny. Had the Chat Roulette idea been passed through me I could have told them the results would have indeed been mostly about male naughty parts... 

Senior Religious Reporter John Oliver explains how the coming Christian Rapture - just a few days away now - will save America from the Devil's own health care reform!  With all Republicans flown to Heaven it will leave only Democrats around to fight the evil monsters let loose upon the world before they all go to Hell. Of course that goes without saying, but without Republicans around Democrats can pass whatever they please! Luckily we have John Oliver to resolve this problem for us!

So may questions! With the only answers being topee, wide tie and lip syncing, unless of course you can read Cyrillic. It is hard to describe. Hmmm... How about watching the Lawrence Welk show on acid? Or New Age Music Satire? Whatever this is, it makes me laugh like Hell for 2 minutes.

Hey, they already have a reshaped hotdog, it's called Baloney. Give kids Baloney instead of hotdogs. What a concept! But you know, the Doctors are right, most Americans are far too stupid to understand that. 

It makes one wonder that if an entire news network is founded upon a bald faced lie, which everyone knows is a baldfaced lie including those who run it, how could anyone take it seriously? Well unless they are dumber than mud. And there's the issue that drive our times.
