KicK! Making Politics Fun

Today we present further proof that the road to hell is paved with the best of intentions. An Elk Grove, California elementary school teacher came up with a truly wonderful and thoughtful idea for an end of the school year gift for her 24 students. Each student received a DVD she'd made featuring class memories, something to treasure all of their lives. For our reasons, we'll refer to her as the virginal Miss Crump of the Andy Griffith show.

The DVD turned out to be an unexpected treasure. A parent phoned the teacher to inform her that in the middle of a scene where the children were sharing stories, was a six second interlude which somehow was accidentally spliced in. This would just be a mere glitch if not for the content of the six seconds of infamy. It too was a memory, but not one which included the class, it was the unforgettable vision of "Miss Crump" having sex on her sofa.

The panicked teacher phoned every household encouraging them to destroy the unviewed DVD's. You can bet that interested more than a few parents who had probably tossed it aside! It will no doubt be viral within moments, grown-ups being notorious for not following directions.

The school district also meaning well sent a letter to all parents asking them to return the DVD's, then admitting defeat asked that they be destroyed. There is no word on Mss Crump's job security, she sounds like a truly caring teacher, who happens to be a bit inept with the tech world, and happens to have a sex life.

It's hard to imagine that at the turn of the century and a bit beyond, teachers were expected to give up their jobs when they married, could be fired for consorting with a man, had a strict curfew and rules of conduct and job expectations which make the life of a cloistered nun sound enviable, lousy pay, and generally lodged with the greedy parent of a student - all the better to save school district money, and keep an eye on her. Is it any wonder few men toiled in the one room school houses? We've come a long way baby, let's hope it's far enough for Miss C to keep her job!

We often hear Republicans screaming about how liberals and Obama are making this country a Hell Hole of socialist totalitarianism. Screeching about how awful it all is to taxes and put up with Negroes and immigrants going wherever they please.

They often get so livid I can’t help but toss them the old canard of Love it or Leave it.

But there is a problem with that; where can these tens of millions of Republicans go that is more to the Right than here? South Africa changed long ago, Slobvia is under UN control and anywhere in Africa is out of the question. Which pretty much leaves only the Arab Theocracies. And even they have national health care. So there really isn’t a place all these unhappy Republicans to emigrate to. Well other than Giedi Prime and Mordor.

Get on board the A Train to Giedi Prime... Line forms behind Mr. Limbaugh...

Finally! Stephen explains the downfall of Mark Sanford, Bob Livingston, Larry Craig, and ol' Newtie Gingrich. Hint: It started with the rightous and moral speaking out against that naughty boy Bill Clinton! Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

David Shuster is joined by Richard Wolffe of Newsweek who describes what is revealed about the 2008 McCain/Palin campaign by Palin's emails to McCain's Chief Campaign Strategist, Steve Schmidt. This was an exchange over just one topic, where she refuses to see the excellent advice Schmidt is giving her, assuredly more will follow.

It does demonstrate that her nebulous relationship with the truth is one of long standing, and her mountain out of a mole-hill debacle with David Letterman is par for the course. Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert gives Davis a Tip o' The Hat as only he can. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, he applauds her callousness toward hungry American children, something for which she has appeared on "Worst" very recently. Since Davis feels hunger is a positive motivator, Stephen makes a suggestion which may well improve and motivate Davis! Also revealed is another business she owns, which doesn't seem to be representative of her views. Truly a Don't Miss! Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

Sharon Waxman editor-in-chief of TheWrap.com joins David Shuster in discussing AEG's release of this rehearsal video made two days before Jackson's death. AEG's greed is becoming more apparent daily. What a shame that a man who was doing this because he was in debt, is now bringing in money from music, videos, and even a possible movie planned by AEG!

In my opinion, the theory of those close to him that he may have wanted out of the contract, and chose a foolish way to do it holds more weight daily. Anorexic, at 5'11 and 112 lbs, he was pushing his strength to do the required 10 shows. When promoter AEG saw the tickets sell out within two hours or less, they changed the contract to FIFTY shows. Jackson as is presented here, is the consumate performer, who could always pull it together on stage, even if he had to inhale oxygen between numbers...ten years ago. Now, in his debilitated state, the idea of 50 shows, and ending up in Vegas must have seemed like climbing a looming mountain. Ironically, the name of the song being rehearsed is "They Don't Care About Us." Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

David Shuster, sitting in for Keith Olbermann, leads a discussion about the Republican party, which is crumbling under the hypocrisy of their latest two great hopes for 2012. He is joined by strategists from both parties, who comment on recent actions and suggested ways to save the party if possible. The GOP ethics chairman has asked Sanford to step down, as have others who are talking to him behind the scenes. They still live in an enchanted land where they believe his future depends upon his relationship with his wife. I believe he put that dream to rest with his announcement that he still loves his mistress.He did give lip service to "doing the right thing" with all of the enthusiasm of a two-year-old confronted by boiled cabbage.

When it was revealed in Vanity Fair that top McCain aides had concerns ranging from post partum depression, a severe personality disorder, willful ignorance and refusal to become informed, among other things that we're assured make this the very tip of the problems, Palin chose to fight back. That is why I saw her lacing on her running shoes this morning and challenging the President to a race! I suspect she wishes to select the trail, far out in the Alaskan wilderness, and am glad he is much too busy for such foolishness. She claims her problems on the campaign trail came down to one thing only...."Sweat" as she told Runner's Weekly, and no other publication! "It's my sanity, and the McCain crew refused to carve out time for my runs." Well, that explains her wacky behavior, now if we can come up with an equally lame one for Sanford's hypocrisy - the Republicans are still screwed, but what a show!

Best Advice From A Higher Being: This goes hands down to Joe the alleged Plumber. Much like David Shuster, who is filling in for Keith, I hope the "Big Guy" will change his mind, and give Joe the go-ahead. After all, the horses the GOP have been betting on are coming up rather lame this week. Think Palin and Sanford. As you'll see, when asked by an interviewer, as to whether Joe's future plans involve running for public office. See Best for yourself to experience the agony of defeat as Joe explains, as only he can, how he'd discussed this with God. The answer, much like the great Biblical answers passed down through history, was "He was like, 'No'" Another plus if Joe's "boss" changes his mind, and says "Like, yah..ya know. Run for it Joe!" Hey, at last he'd have an official title, Joe the Candidate, then Joe the former candidate, but enough of this confusing plumber business!

Best New Law: It's difficult to argue with this one! Lawmakers have passed the Oklahoma Eye Tattoo Law. I assumed they were speaking of merely outlining the eye in a kohl pencil type of look, and being a bit reactionary. Oh how wrong I was! Who knew that a qualified Opthamolotist would inject permanent ink into the whites of one's eyes, all the better to appear to be a real zombie! The problem is, that they have an inordinate number of red and purple eyed blind zombies stumbling around from this dangerous practice. They're passing the law knowing full well, the fun seekers will hop across the border to Kansas for a little Zombie make-over.

Best Assault and Subsequent Arrest Using a Salted Weapon: Perhaps the first arrest for using harmless looking Cheetos puffed snacks. James Earl Taylor and Mary S. Childers were apparently having a discussion which led to a disagreement. Verbal abuse turned to physical abuse - using the little cheesy puffs! They would leave a nasty semi-permanent yellow-orange dye on you and your clothing, but the fight was drastic enough for police to arrest them for domestic assault. This, I regret we cannot see in technicolor! It's just fortunate they were not moved to BB-Q that day,else they might have had skewers, or rib bones lying around!
