In Morning Joe's "News You Can't Use" we have one untimely revelation, and yet one more "Don't" for you speeding multi-taskers. State Sen Roy Ashburn, CA, a conservative from Bakersfield who had voted against gay issues for 14 years, didn't so much step out of the closet, as crash out. Ashburn had little choice after fetching a DUI arrest upon leaving a gay nightclub. After announcing that yes, he is gay he said it shouldn't
affect his job, a theory I hope he passes along to the others in his conservative party.
How many times has this happened to you? You're whizzing down the freeway on your way to a hot date, and remember that you'd neglected to prune that all important bikini area, well that's exactly what happened to Megan Barnes of Florida. Fortunately, her EX was in the passenger seat, and happy to steer from his position. Unfortunately, neither was watching the road.
The Skagway News reported a visit by the (then) governor. This was no small thing you know, while there, she told of her childhood, hopping the ferry to Juneau for her brother's burned ankle and other medical needs. Yessir, medical care right here in the good ol' U S of A, Wink!
Then again, warming to the folks in Calgary, Alberta, Sarah Palin again described the harrowing medical runs the family took, including the brother's leg. This time, they were in the habit of just hopping across the border to White Horse, BC to utilize Canada's wonderful "socialist" health care system. Mind, they were American citizens! It looks as though she's stepped on her own stance regarding the Health Care Reform Bill, and the horrors of single payer health care.
While President Barack Obama has bent over backward to incorporate Republican ideas into his
health care proposal, he should have saved the effort, strapped on a tube top and whined a lot. It seems to appeal to such statesmen as Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga, judging by his choice of television viewing.
Sean Hannity leaped atop his charger suspiciously fast today! A viewer suggested (reasonably) that Sean, the little Hannity boy only liked Sarah Palin for her looks. You must see Hannity replying quickly that indeed it was her intelligence he admired, along with her gutsy greatness, of course.
Here again we have the same bottom line we have with Republican Senator Bunning flipping the bird to the unemployed. Republicans could care less about health care, after all the 30 million without either don't vote or don't vote for Republicans, and the millions of white people who are under insured would rather lose their homes and see their children die rather than vote for a Democrat.
This video begins with how the media defined the Health Care Summit as an abject failure. Mostly because for 7 hours no one said "retard", no one was shot, there was no Tsunami coming and no "known" BJs occurred. To make matters even worse President Obama came off "professorial" and sounded like some know-it-all teacher lecturing an unruly class! What was he thinking! Had he grabbed a copy of HOP ON POP, held it upside down, and told us that a waste was a terrible thing to mind Americans would have rallied to him and a Single Payer system would have passed by the end of the week!
Do you think ABBA knows about the parody? Never has "Dancing Queen" been used to sling so much mud! Tomorrow is the gubernatorial Republican primary, and Rick Perry is pulling out all of the stops against Kay Bailey Hutchison. It's too bad she didn't know of his tactics, she could have swiped a song as well. Rick Perry seems to know that even the nastiest mud seems better when your toe's tappin'.
Though the Tea Party movement mostly concerns the anger of having to pay
taxes to the benefit of those less white than they, it has also been
the driving political force of the Republican Party for most of 100
years.
SEATTLE — Keli Carender has a pierced nose, performs improv on weekends and lives here in a neighborhood with more Mexican grocers than coffeehouses. You might mistake her for the kind of young person whose vote powered President Obama to the White House. You probably would not think of her as a Tea Party type. But leaders of the Tea Party movement credit her with being the first. Unlikely Activist Who Got to the Tea Party Early
Be among the first to rally with Fox News' own Caribou Co-ed, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, as they celebrate spring break, headlining the "Taking Back Our Country Tour." With the two superstars of the Teabaggers, country music, and lots of offensive Obama signs, what's not to like.
On this President's Day Special Comment, Keith Olbermann explores how fear often leads to racism. We like to believe we've made great strides in the past fifty years, but perhaps the same feelings and fear of the unknown are there, but wearing the guise of a political movement, such as the Tea baggers?
Colbert comes up with pretty much the same thing as the Daily Show has about Fox News anecdotal evidence proving this or that. Infants and Fox News understand! Again. It's dark out, global darkness is upon us!
One of the easiest ways of knowing you are talking to an idiot - no matter in what context - is if they fall into anecdotal evidence as the basis of their argument. Most often they do this with premises like "everybody I know" or "here in Poughkeepsie" to arrive at some universal (usually wrong) conclusion. And if when they turn on the AM radio or watch Fox News which reinforces the same ignorant tripe, they get that warm fuzzy feeling of redemption for never getting their GED.
For after all, chances are "everyone they know" may very well be from the Nutcake Rest Home, the Tea Party sign making shop or doing time in Folsom.
As the cast of the Daily Show so well explains, this is especially the case when it comes to Climate Change.
Resident Nut Michele Bachmann R-Minn, and equally dangerous resident of Wackyland, Mark Cole, R- Va show us exactly why the Founding Fathers intended religion to be separate from politics! Cole admits he's not a theologian, but someone told him about that thar Mark of the Beast. Naturally he sponsored a bill keeping his state free of it, by golly! He feels that by making it illegal to implant a microchip he may be saving humanity!
Yesterday, certain that Sarah Palin's umbrage came from a genuine motherly feeling of protection for her Downs Syndrome baby, guest Margaret Carlson said that Sarah Palin would be just as defensive if Republicans used the word retarded as she was when she demanded Rahm Emanuel's job. Rush Limbaugh has unapologetically used "Retard" - as often as he announced he would, as expected, not a peep from Palin.
While it doesn't excuse him, Rahm Emanuel did apologize for using the word "retarded" about liberal debt management, after great umbrage from Sarah Palin. No one with his influence should use the word, or hold a job of influence seemed to be the feeling of Palin, the mother of a special needs child. We can understand her feelings. As Margaret Carlson points out, they seem much more genuine than her pretend umbrage at David Letterman over his joke regarding Bristol. Enter stage ugly.
Rush Limbaugh seems to be on a mission to repeat the word "Retards" as often as possible. He's said that he will not stop or apologize, and in what passes for wit stated there will be a "Retard Summit at the White House." How Palin handles this, will tell us all we need to know.
As of this time, she has yet to address Limbaugh's inflammatory remarks. Keith Olbermann and Margaret Carlson discuss the issue, Carlson taking a mother's side, unable to imagine
Palin letting Limbaugh's crude, cruel remarks go unaddressed.
Michele Bachmann knows that If we allow health care reform it "will be the crown jewel of socialism," If indeed the government were to tell us what to do and say, it would interfere with Bachmann's plans to police one and all starting with an investigation of Congress for
unAmerican attitudes. We presume she's finished reading "The Life and Times of Joseph McCarthy."
Brace yourselves in, the results of a non-partisan poll of Republicans about President Obama makes one wonder if indeed they read much. One thing's certain, we're in a lotta trouble Rooocie!

Hey you. You there in the Glenn Beck T-shirt headed off to the Tea Party Patriot rally. Stop shouting for a moment, please, I want to explain to you why you're so very angry. You should be angry. You're getting screwed. I think you know that. But you don't seem to know that it doesn't have to be that way. You can stop it. You can stop it easily because the system that's screwing you over can only keep screwing you over if you keep demanding that it do so. So stop demanding that. Stop helping the system screw you over. Look, you can go back to yelling at me in a minute, but just read this first.
That wily Limbaugh has figured us out! Who told him, come on...confess! The Bloviator knows about the recent tapes from bin Laden blaming the U.S. for global warming. To Rush Limbaugh's finely attuned ear, this sounds just like complaints from leftists. His conclusion, He knows we're
getting our talking points from bin Laden. Who will we find to lead us now?
Excitement is in the air. It's the First Annual Tea Party (and Tea Bagger) Convention at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville! Keynote speaker is scheduled to be - Sarah Palin?
Very recently the darling of the movement, and a sure draw, she is now persona non grata and head of the Tea Party enemies list due to her support of John McCain over Tea Party darling and poopyhead J.D. Hayworth for the Senate seat in Arizona. It's very quickly turning into the expensive party that no one wants to attend.
Below is one of my favorite pictures from the Well of Congress. J D Hayworth! Though there are some great photos of B1 Bob Dornan going violently insane in the isles and behind the podium.
This insult,coming from one of the nations premier psychos?!! I believe I'd be extremely offended were it anyone with the slightest credibility. Glenn Beck doesn't explain men in glowing terms either, but he doesn't do a bitchy imitation of them! Pair this with his desire to see Scott Brown in a chastity belt, and you've got something!
By now, you know that Glenn Beck has Scott Brown pegged as a potential harm to interns, and wants him watched in his chastity belt 24/7. I presume he's volunteered to monitor the web cam. Ironically, Beck's change of heart came during Brown's playful attempt to garner dates for his daughters, yet Beck has popped off with some genuinely misogynistic comments in his meandering response.
What we didn't hear was the rest of Beck's rant. It zooms right past creepy when he launches into his falsetto bitchy imitation of "psycho women" and they're all psycho in Beck's book! I wonder why he "just can't figure them out."
You men are supposed to be flattered that you're "simple" needing only sex and food. Did I mention that all are psychos? Thus sayeth the King of the Psychos, Glenn Beck, on guard for Scott Brown's diabolical behavior, as if he's going to do anything to muss his hair.
If you thought the Motivational sideshow scam circus was a poor beginning to past President George Bush's speaking career,things can always get worse, as they will on January 23, at the Safari Club International Hunting Convention.
Okay, I'll admit that it is a "Safari Club International Hunting Convention" and seminars. Perhaps there's some status to the "International" bit? I doubt it's enough to survive being squeezed in between seminars such as building a bird blind, proper boot care, and "Help Me Rhonda."
Wow, who knew Three Dog Night was still playing, or the Bellamy Brothers! The stars of the party are Papa Doo Run Run - a Beach Boys cover band, end it now! There's more....Lil' Liz Cheney will be cage dancing, I presume.
It's a good thing the families have all remained on cozy terms with the NRA or opportunities like this might have passed them by, along with nice lobbyist gifts. Apparently they asked for Liz, not chancing any accidents with Daddy Dead Eye Dick Cheney, the only man who can shoot another on a hunting trip, then have the victim apologize to him while being wheeled out of the hospital. Those were the days!
The book "Game Change" is full of insider revelations about Sarah Palin's refusal to cooperate with anyone on John McCain's staff, and other difficulties in the campaign. Let's just say it. If you weren't clued in, as you'll see, she is a ditz bomb! John McCain R- AZ, may always wonder if he'd have had a chance with the running mate whom he'd seriously considered, former Democrat, Joe Lieberman. I wonder if he selects his own ties?
After eight years of "Great job Brownie" and other presidential appointments based upon toadyism or a mutual love of fart jokes, today conservatives are in moral outrage!. President Obama has selected one of the most impressively and
brilliantly qualified people possible to be Presidential Appointee to the Department of Commerce,Amanda Simpson.
Amanda Simpson's resume alone is worth the watch. No one sane can see it and deny she will capably handle the job of Senior Technical Advisor, monitoring the export of US weapons technology. With three decades of experience and
degrees in Physics, Engineering, and Business there is great alarm in the land, for Ms Simpson is transgender, and you know how sexual issues other than their own complicated lives, infuriate conservatives.
We learn that Republican ideology is about only two things. Free markets to keep the government OUT of our pockets and Pro Life to get the government INTO women's wombs! So simple, so clear, so utterly and profoundly disgusting!
2) The Right-wing logic...
Mr Erickson tells Stephen THERE IS a litmus test, and in the very next sentence makes charges against the the Republican Party with having a litmus test.
3) Defines the Tea Party Movement...
The guy, who represents the Tea Party Movement gives us one great quote that wraps up the entire Tea Bagger story in just a few words:
"Supreme Court Justice Souter is a goat fking child molester!"
I have this theory... It came about one day a few years back watching conservative nutcake Charles Krauthammer on Fox News. There seems to be a Right-wing gene that not only removes all aspects of mercy, compassion, and altursim, but also removes human lips as well. Watch for this in your travels...
