The Sunday “Unintentionally” Funnies
As my regular readers know by now, I spend every Sunday morning watching three of the four network news Sunday political talkshows: “Fox ’news’ Sunday”, “Meet the Press”, and ABC’s “ThisWeek”. ABC ends their show with a fun segment they call “Sunday funnies”, but this week, the entire show was filled with unintentionally funny moments I just HAD to compile [...]
The Failure of Success. The success of failure.
As I type this, Hurricane Irene is battering the Northeastern coast, leaving 15 35 people dead and more than a million homes without power. Governors of BOTH parties have been praising the response of FEMA… who was already dealing with the rare East coast earthquake from the week before. And in the middle of this mess, GOP Presidential [...]
A Little Ignorance Can Do a LOT of Damage.
Every once in a while, I get into an online “argument” with some Teabagging idiot that thinks that I’m a clueless moron that’s out to destroy the country (I reposted once such conversation last April). But after just one or two exchanges, it is clear that everything they know about the world they learned listening [...]
Are Disaster-Capitalists Advising Republicans to Say Debt Ceiling “No Big Deal”?
Special Edition On Tuesday, the news reported that gold had hit a record high, breaking $1,600 an ounce for the first time in history. This got me thinking: “There are people out there that stand to make a lot of money if this country fails to raise the Debt Ceiling.” As people grow nervous over the [...]
Attention Republicans: Cutting Services Raises Expenses. That’s a tax hike!
Speaker of the House John Boehner has been leading the GOP’s new battle cry (whine?) that “you don’t raise taxes in a Recession.” Republicans are playing a dangerous game of chicken with the Debt Ceiling, threatening to vote against raising it next month, in hopes that Democrats will “blink first” and capitulate with Republicans… again. [...]
Why Crediting Bush for OBL’s capture is dead wrong
If you’re like me, you just spent the better part of the past week listening to Right-wingers dismiss President Obama’s great achievement of finally getting Osama bin Laden, and give most of the credit to President Bush. Their arguments for doing so are filled with wingnut torture fantasies and baseless assumptions, not a single one of which holds [...]
The Sin of O’Mission
Let’s make one thing perfectly clear: I’m a supporter of President Obama. And if he is the DNC nominee in 2012, I will be voting for him… a tad reluctantly, I will admit. But he will have my vote. With that being said, few (real) Democrats have frustrated me the way President Obama has. During [...]
If it all weren’t so sad, it’d be funny. On second thought, this IS funny.
There are so many other topics I considered writing about this week. Topic Idea #1: Under GOP rule, the state of Arizona is rapidly becoming the worlds largest insane asylum. First it was the racist/xenophobic “Papers please” anti-immigration bill, followed by the AZ-GOP “Death Panel” that decided a new for-profit, privately run prison system was more important [...]
Republican Deficit Hypocrisy
Few things in this world demonstrate the stark difference between Democrats and clueless, fiscally-insane Republicans than the issue of The National Debt. Of course, if you live in Republican BizzaroWorld, it’s the Democrats that are the fiscally irresponsible ones while it’s Republicans fighting the good fight to return us to fiscal sanity. Republicans are busy [...]
Special Edition: A Tale of Two Fake Interviews: Walker vs. Schiller
Last month, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker got “punked” by a Buffalo, NY radio morning-show host pretending to be billionaire Conservative activist “David Koch”. And yesterday, Conservative slam-journalist and convicted felon James O’Keefe posted a hidden-camera video interview with National Public Radio’s Senior VP Ron Schiller and Senior Director of Giving Betsy Liley. The video, shot last [...]
Quick vid: Teabagger morons bussed in to counter protest in Wisconsin
Last Sunday, ABC World News Tonight covered the Union Protests in Wisconsin, and followed it up with… what I’m certain they believed was… a “balanced” comparison of two people on either side of the protest. The first, a teabagger being bussed in from 110 miles away (by whom, ABC never says), the second, a teacher who [...]
The Mind of a Conservative: a personal aside
I am pleased to announce that there are no more “Republicans” in the state of Texas. None. Nada. Zip… at least, not among the general public. The governor, Rick “Good Hair” Perry is a Teabagger that has become a national embarrassment every time he opens his mouth with talk of “succession”, and the Texas state Legislature [...]
