billionsGrab your hanky, Billionaires are left with only Billions!

Right-wing Lunatic Paul Weyrich Dead at 66



weyrichFounder and cofounder of such over the top conservative organizations as the Heritage Foundation, the Free Congress Foundation, The Moral Majority, The Christian Coalition and the skank who funded all those bill boards on the interstates of Arkansas asking women to call an 800 number for a reward if they had sex with President Bill Clinton.

With intolerance as his main vocation and the looks and disposition of an Aryan German Brownshirt, Paul Weyrich will be missed by the Hillbilly faction of the Republican Party. I would expect Sarah Palin coming Back in Black.

Here is today's eulogy from Republican Presidential Candidate and ignorant boob Mike Huckabee:

"I have learned today of the death of one of America's truly great political minds, Paul Weyrich. He was not a household name to most Americans, but inside conservative circles, his name was a name of wisdom, authority, and true conviction. I first met him in 1979 when I was working as communications director for a large Texas based Christian ministry. Paul was one of the first leaders to realize the untapped potential of values voters, and his influence was instrumental in the launching of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority,ť Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition, and other faith based movements. Paul was a deeply devout Christian gentleman who had clarity in his convictions. He was both an intellectual as well as a political tactician who understood that all the great ideas in the world were worthless if they weren't put into motion through actual public policy. He was fearless and spoke the truth to power regardless. I spent hours listening to and being mentored by his speeches that I heard on cassette tape in the late 70's and early 80's while driving to speaking engagements and events. His influence on me was chronicled in my book, "Do the Right Thing"ť and he was mentioned on the book jacket. All true conservatives mourn the passing of this truly great leader. Our prayers go forth to his dear family." Mike Huckabee, dec 18, 2008

The GOP closed their eyes, swallowed their vomit courted and patronized these morons in their plan to become the transcendent political party in America. Trouble was, they succeeded so well that these idiots took control of the Republican Party which is now paying the price. Comeuppance!

Bar bouncer turns away Wash. governor for lack of ID


WA Governer Gregoire carded bounced from bar alcohol tobacco medication A 23-year old bouncer cut the party short for Governor Christine Gregoire who was celebrating after a day of flipping burgers at a local festival reminding people of what she looks like, apparently she should do more of it.

When Gregoire, husband, and entourage hit Hannah's bar in Olympia, the gov. was the only one without ID. Protests from staff that she was the governor fell on deaf ears. Though she'd been old enough to drink for 40 years, the 23-year old bouncer was following the letter of the law and didn't relent. First husband Mike continued the celebration while the 61-year old governor went home presumably to change the locks.

Washington is a nanny-state, though predominantly blue. The strict laws concerning sales of anything residents may put into their bodies are such that minimum wage store clerks, bouncers, and even physicians are penalized severely for an inadvertent slip. Somehow it seemed like a fitting end to her evening, though she said she was flattered to have been carded. It is well documented that there is a long standing problem with bats in the attic at the governor's mansion since Gary Locke's residency, coincidence ?

Conservative Fox News Pundit Tony Snow gone at 53


Tony Snow was one of the few whacky conservative/Libertarian spokesmen who fellow media pundits not only tolerated but liked no matter his failings in truthiness or the propaganda he dispensed. Either as a guest host for the right-wing Rush Limbaugh Show, his own conservative radio show, moderator for the conservative Fox News Sunday Show and more recently brought in to put a friendly face upon the failing conservative Bush administration as White House Press Secretary. We assume that he is already playing a round on the front nine with The Gipper.

When Scott McClellan just couldn't keep lying for the Bush Administration, Tony Snow stepped in to give the lies a personable smiley face, who because of his medical condition, the media had to make nice with.

One documented lie

Houston DA Chuck Rosenthall Sex Email Scandal


Chuck Rosenthall - Harris County District Attorney - is yet another Christian conservative Republican who got elected down here in Dumbutt, Texas by screeching about Family Values and that he would execute more people than any other DA in America (he has been true to his word in that anyway.)

Rosenthal's emails to his secretary Kerry Stevens went public a few weeks ago. Though not sexually explicit they were full of romantic "love you" and "miss you" and "Kiss you" poo. Though he admits he had an affair with Stevens back in the 1980's when he was married to his first wife, he contends the relationship is now platonic.

When the story broke, local church leaders and GOP operatives asked him to withdraw from the coming election. Rosenthal became angry and refused, but soon gave in and said he would not run, then got angry again and said he would run, but now says he won't run. Add Republican flip flopping to the hypocrisy!

The story here - as it was with Congressman Mark Foley, Senator Larry Craig, Senator Tom Vitter et al - is the Republican hypocrisy of going down on all fours for the intolerant Christian Evangelical vote while they refuse to walk the walk in their own personal lives. WHILE they attack others and make laws to throw people in jail for the same thing they do under the table.

Chuck Rosenthal is perhaps the worst of the bunch regarding the crazyass disconnect in American Christianity.

Rosenthal presides over the county which sentences more people to death than any other in America. He is probably most famous for not only fighting the Andrea Yates insanity plea for drowning her 5 children - because she did not want Satan to get hold of them - but also seeking the death penalty for the obviously and legally insane woman. Texas is no place for children.

A religion founded upon mercy, compassion, love, forgiveness and a bad execution has somehow been turned on its ass to become the loudest voice in America for merciless, callous, revenge and executions. How any religion could be so upended is a wonderment to human psychology. Though I suppose it is expected as those not able to think for themselves listen to false prophets like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Mike Huckabee and such. The Antichrists.

Rosenthal's second brush with infamy came with his 2003 journey to Washington to argue in front of the Supreme Court to keep Texas' 19th century Sodomy Laws so we down here in Dumbutt could throw homos in jail at our whim. Though he lost that case and made a national and international fool of himself, he came back to Dumbutt a big hero.

To add insult to the hypocrisy, Rosenthal - who argued the Sodomy case regards there being no right of privacy in the constitution and who as a good Republican has pushed that reactionary line of crap for his seven years as DA - has been screeching about his right to privacy being invaded by the emails going public. Texas is no place for children.

Senator Larry Craig - Butthead of the Year 2007 - Winner



Larry "Widestance" Craig wins this year because perennial winner George W. Bush is just such a loser he can't win at anything at all anymore. Senator Craig gets the award not for getting caught soliciting sex in an airport men's room, but for being one of the endless stream of outspoken Republican Family Values bleaters who talk the talk but refuse to walk the walk. Adding another level of hypocrisy of a gay politician consistently voting against all gay rights legislation, and yet another level of hypocrisy of leveling immorality attacks upon Bill Clinton. Come on Larry...

The Idaho Statesman has listed the names of six men who have been propositioned by Craig. They also have one unpublished name of a man who has had sex with Craig but does not wish to be named unless it becomes necessary. Gay Rights groups have claimed Craig is gay for most of a decade with an even longer list of witnesses because of his anti-gay rhetoric and votes.

All Craig's abject hypocrisy aside, there are also the three absurd lies. [Keep in mind that Larry Craig pleaded guilty with his appeal denied, and before he entered his own stall, he looked into the adjacent stall and knew it was occupied.]

His wide stance? Go into a public stall and put both feet beyond the wall of either side (knowing someone is sitting next door.) Come on Larry...

His hand venturing into the next stall (which he knows is occupied)? He claims to pick up a piece of stray toilet paper behind the toilet bowl. Picking up someone else's used toilet paper in a public restroom? Come on Larry....

And lastly his claim that he would have to be a contortionist to slide his left hand palm up under the right wall of the stall which is no harder to do than contorting the right hand to slide palm up under the wall. Come on Larry...

And of course the coup de grace, saying he would resign and then later refusing to do so, giving the Democrats an entire Presidential election cycle to remind voters of the GOP Family Values hypocrisy which was half the reason they lost the House and Senate in 2006.

Roberto Gonzales Butthead of 2007 - Runnerup




Who would have ever thought that a newly Bush appointed Attorney General could possibly be worse than the previous Attorney General Ayatollah John Ashcroft?

Roberto Gonzales may not have forced daily prayer sessions in his office, draped curtains over the breasts of classical statues or poured Crisco cooking oil over his head to anoint himself with each new job, but as an incompetent Bush/Rove "yes man" Gonzalez politicized the Justice Department to such an extent than even Republicans finally had enough of him and showed Mr. Don't Recall the door.

Republicans firing Republican appointed federal persecutors because they did not pursue bogus indictments against specific Democrats opposing Republicans in the 2006 elections is what communist and fascist totalitarian nations do.

Henry Hyde Dead at 83


Henry Hyde, congressmen from Illinois dead at 83. Henry Hyde is most remembered as the loudest voice in congress denying women their right to choose an abortion and as the leading House Manager in 1998 to impeach President Bill Clinton. Though it was Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay who decided to have an impeachment, it was the once respected Henry Hyde who gave it the gravitas needed for it to proceed.

While Hyde and the rest of the other reactionary Republican House Managers fell over themselves talking the high moral ground over sexual matters, what went around finally came around to bite him on the ass, latch on, and follow him to the grave. His past long term adultery, unlike Bill Clinton's, ruined a marriage. As was the case with Impeachment House Manager Bob Barr who was photographed licking whipped cream off of women's breasts and paid for an abortion, as was the case with House Manager Bob Livingston who was found to frequent prostitutes, Henry Hyde also never recovered from the hypocrisy and the shame.

Bill O'Reilly Bitten to Death


By Henri Broussard, Associated Press Writer, November 14, 2028
An anonymous source at Fox News has stated that Bill O’Reilly’s untimely death could be considered fair and balanced. Earlier this evening, the host of the long-running O'Reilly Factor, who was well-known for railing at his guests, apparently bit off more than he could chew.

O'Reilly, whose trademarks were repeatedly pointing his finger in the faces of any guests who displeased him, calling them idiots and cutting their microphones, antagonized the wrong liberal earlier this evening. Seventeen minutes into the hour-long show, Sgt. Dale Johnston, an Army veteran advocating an end to the war in Iraq, allegedly bit off O'Reilly's finger. Sources say there was some confusion at to who actually called 9-1-1.

Karen Lindy, the host's personal assistant, shrugged and commented, "I thought the producer made the call." By the time the ambulance arrived, O'Reilly had bled to death, but not before repeatedly screaming, "I'll still get you, Keith Olbermann!"

While being led away in handcuffs, Sgt. Johnston is reported to have said, "Tastes like chicken" immediately after he spit O'Reilly's bloody finger at a poster of Rupert Murdoch. Johnston's attorney, J. Chadwick Bloes who first heard of the sergeant while watching the show on which the alleged incident took place, hastily held a press conference outside the Fox News building. He is quoted as saying, "My client is suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome following fifteen tours of duty in Iraq. We'll be suing the O'Reilly estate, the Rupert Murdoch estate, and Fox News for two billion dollars. The deceased provoked my client in front of the show's remaining thousand or so viewers. I will be deposing all of these witnesses immediately." When asked about the urgency, Bloes replied, "Most of O'Reilly's viewers are now well into their nineties. Who knows how many will live to testify?"

Fox News has issued a statement requesting donations be sent to O'Reilly's favorite online charity, FIFOP (France Is Full Of Pussies). In an unrelated story, the website, which promotes the boycott of all French products, has been investigated as a front for O'Reilly himself. To date no indictments have been handed down to the mysterious webmaster, William O. Really.

O'Reilly's replacement has already been named by Fox News. Up-and-coming right-wing pundit and former porn star, Khandi Dhandi will get the Factor time slot with a new show called The Mammary Factor. A spokesperson from Fox is quoted as saying, "While we regret the loss of Bill, we're hopeful the new Factor will help our sagging ratings in this time slot."

Senator Larry Craig Holds in Idaho


Idaho gunSenator Craig has grabbed hold of Senator Arlen Specter’s plan to fight this thing! He is presently pulling his Minnesota guilty plea to take it to trial even though The Idaho Statesman has the names of three men who have been the recipients of Larry’s bathroom… Hmmm… Humor I suppose he would call it. One of the men also had sex with Larry.

Idaho is about as red as a state can get but with the added attraction of being the Whitest State. Idaho has a Black population of .6%, or 25 times less than the rest of America. Idaho is perhaps most famous for being the home state of the Aryan Nations and the annual Aryan Nations Jamboree. It was an Idaho judge who gave White Supremacist Randy Weaver a $3 million dollar reward for murdering a cop, a Federal Marshall at that.

Speaking of cops, Idaho has also become the home state for racist Bad Boy cops. Though Mark Fuhrman of OJ Simpson fame is the most well known, there are communities filled with police who have been fired for killing, beating and screeching racial epitaphs at Black people while on the job. It has become such a well known fact that racist cops from all over American now come to Idaho to retire.

Idaho is also famous for being represented by the most Right-wing Loon-ess to ever grace the halls of Congress, Helen Chenoweth. To enthusiastic crowds she sponsored endangered species barbecues and cook-offs, and even went so far to claim she would cut down every tree in Idaho! Not too long ago this Wicked Witch of the West was holding a baby on an off road excursion in an open jeep without either wearing "nanny-government" seat belts and was thrown out of the vehicle. Her neck broke and she died on the spot.

Even if a video appeared of Senator Craig having sex with a male goat in a public Ladies’ room while munching on raw fingers he chopped off of Black children, Larry would still garner 70% of the vote in Idaho. Which brings up a few questions? What will the RNC do as Larry drags this out through the coming election season? How many more recipients of Larry "Lips" Craig will be sliding out from under mens’ room stalls? And of course, with all this new attention on Idaho, will the Republican Party try moving Idaho up in the primaries to Christmas as it is even Whiter than Iowa and New Hampshire combined!

Attempted BJ Update: Senator Craig made the excuse that he was under duress and made a bad decision in pleading guilty. Larry did not plead guilty to the June 11th crime until August 1st. He had 6 weeks to think it out. Larry Craig is a very bad thinker. Which is a bonus in Idaho.

Michael Vick, Jesus and Hip Hop


 
"Dog fighting is a terrible thing and I did reject it. Through this situation I found Jesus, and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to God." Michael Vick Playing the Jesus Card.


With the guilty plea and the plea bargain submitted, the sentencing – expect a couple years in prison - will now have to wait until December. Hopefully December will be cold enough in Atlanta to deter rioting. Thanks to O J Simpson we now have a name for this dynamic, the Simpson Syndrome. Which can be easily confused with the other Simpson Syndrome, DUH!

The issue itself is about as low as humans can sink. All arguments defending this crap are off. Whether it’s the NAACP and Flacon Fans claiming racism or Black commentators defending it because it’s not as bad as this or that. But Deion Sanders kicked the issue through the goal posts when he said it only expresses the reality of Black culture. Bingo. Sub culture, Hip Hop.

I have defended Hip Hop and  Rap as the poetry of The Hood for a generation, but as a biased dog lover, I have now had it up to HERE  with this crap. This issue is not about third world chicken fights or Matadors facing death in a bullring. This is about man’s best friend being used to fight to the death (with the losers killed) not only for money, but more importantly, for the joy of watching something suffer for the macho fun of it. There is no redeeming social value involved. So now Dog Killing has been added to what the Hip Hop culture has come to most represent and promote: Revenge, violence, gangs, guns, prisons, pimping and murder. These are the heroes for a generation of Inner City Black kids. It has gone over the top.

To their benefit Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Bill Cosby, James Brown and a few others over the years have called this culture out for what it is to little or no fanfare and even less avail.

 

"I want you to tell people to love one another. I want you to fight to lift the standards back. What happened to us that we are now celebrating from being down? What happened we went from saying I'm black and I'm proud to calling each other niggers and ho's and bitches. I sung people up and now they're singing people down, and we need to change the music. Lift the music back to where children and their grand mommas can sit and listen to the music together." Al Sharpton in his eulogy as to what James Brown told him just weeks before he died.


Rap is not even music, it is culture. There is little if any musical talent involved. Ask a Rapper what instrument he plays or listen to him belt out a melody. What little music there is has likely been stolen and remixed. It’s the Disco of yesteryear with the bass turned up, replacing mindless dance music with angry dance music. Even the accompanying Hip Hop fashion is based on excessive clownish jewelry, loose clothing to better conceal large weapons, and face and neck tattoos to imply unemployable criminality. And of course that foul unintelligible dialect that demeans everything including themselves. But it is the glorification of revenge, guns, violence and murder that is Hip Hops’ central contribution to the low road of humanity. So there!
