Sad news: my mom passed away yesterday due to complications from cancer. We seemed to have spent all our time with her these past few months as she got weaker and weaker, but I do not begrudge one second of it. She was singing and joking almost till the end, and she not only worried about us, but all the charities she donated to. She was a terrific lady and will be greatly missed.

Happy Vernal Equinox!!!

Another Shitty Deal

2011-03-10T16:51:00.002-05:00

Seems like somebody is full of shit:

Senator Rand Paul’s toilets don’t work, and he blames the Department of Energy.
At a hearing of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on Thursday, Mr. Paul lambasted Kathleen Hogan, deputy assistant secretary for energy efficiency at the Energy Department, telling her that the department’s “hypocrisy” and “busybody nature” has “restricted choices” for consumers rather than made life better for them.

“You don’t care about the consumer really,” Mr. Paul said. “Frankly, my toilets don’t work in my house, and I blame you.”

The reason Congressman Paul's toilet is backed up is due to the fact that he and his fellow Republicans have been trying to flush the entire country down the toilet.
Call Joe the Plumber, already.
And go fuck yourself.

It's not terrorism if you are white and right

An ex soldier with ties to the white supremacist movement has been taken into custody in connection with the planting of a backpack bomb along the planned route of the Martin Luther King Jr. March in downtown Spokane, authorities have confirmed.

Fox will continue to call it an isolated incident - no big deal.
If it was a fundamental Muslim extremist, Fox would label it as the latest in a long line of threats to Life, Liberty, Apple Pie, Freedom, Democracy, and puppies...
But this rascist fuck is white so nothing to see here, comrade, move along.....

Some Reich-wingnut explained his problem with young voters at a recent Tea Party event:

"They go into these general elections, they'll have 900 same day registrations, which are the kids coming out of the schools and basically doing what I did when I was a kid, which is vote liberal," he said. "They don't have life experience and they don't have life experience and they just vote their feelings and they're taking away the town's ability to govern themselves, it's not fair."

Don't you understand that college students carry the evil of youth within them and must be stopped? I look at my 22-year-old daughter and see unbridled emotions that push her toward evil progressive ideas. Emotions come from Satan, unless those emotions lead you to hate Muslims, to oppose women having control of their own bodies and to favor tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the middle class.

BTW, has anyone seen any legislation introduced that might actually create jobs ?

Republican Plan to Address Global Warming

2011-03-07T15:54:00.004-05:00

From a great new site I just found, Dirty Hippies

The Republican Party today announced a comprehensive plan to address global warming. As the Party never believed global warming exists, it came as a surprise even to themselves.

“Unlike Democrat tax and regulate plans, this is simple, comprehensive, and handles the problem immediately, once and for all”, said House Speaker, John Boehner, a-glowing. “Instead of stopping global warming it reverses it. And, we know this is a good bill because it is only one-page long.”

The bill, authored by freshman Tea Party Member Ben Quayle—whose Vice-President father, Dan, was said to have promoted a manned-mission to the sun, proposing to avoid the extreme heat by going at night–is called the “Reverse [Non-Existent] Global Warming With a Stroke of the Pen” Act. It outlaws Fahrenheit, substituting Celsius for all temperature readings, reports and thermometers, and thereby instantaneously reduces all temperatures.

Great site, more seriousness than snark, but great site. Check it guys, I think you'll like it.

The screeching from the corporate-deluded Reich-wingnuts should be starting any time now

400 obscenely rich people, most of whom benefited in some way from the multi-trillion dollar taxpayer "bailout" of 2008, now have more loot, stock and property than the assets of 155 million Americans combined. If you can't bring yourself to call that a financial coup d'état, then you are simply not being honest about what you know in your heart to be true.
........
The nation is not broke, my friends. Wisconsin is not broke. It's part of the Big Lie. It's one of the three biggest lies of the decade: America/Wisconsin is broke, Iraq has WMD, the Packers can't win the Super Bowl without Brett Favre.

So now we have a few hundred winners and 200 million losers. Some are born smart and lucky like me. Others deserve the punishment of being dumb, stupid, lazy and fat. American capitalism reflects this reality. That's the way God wanted it.
Keep your money grubbing hands and intentions off the money of those of us who have succeeded.

If it weren't so true, this would be hilarious

A CEO, a tea party member, and a union worker are all sitting at a table when a plate with a dozen cookies arrives. Before anyone else can make a move, the CEO reaches out to rake in eleven of the cookies. When the other two look at him in surprise, the CEO locks eyes with the tea party member. "You better watch him," the executive says with a nod toward the union worker. "He wants a piece of your cookie."

"What?!?! There were 12 cookies and the CEO only got 11 of them?!??!" Those tasty crumbs dribbling from the CEO's mouth should be plenty to help the rest.

Via fark.com: If you commit a felony, using the "I didn't know it was against the law" defense won't work. Unless you are a Supreme Court Justice. Then it works great.

Clarence Thomas, a fucking Supreme Court Justice, breaks a federal law that got Bill Clinton and Martha Stewart in deep hoohah and would get any other person in this country thrown in the fucking slammer. But he'll get off scot-free because he's Clarence Fucking Thomas.

Thomas' behavior raises three obvious questions, the answers to which are all inter-related: Why is it likely that no consequences will be visited on a Supreme Court justice who has committed a series of criminal offenses? Why is this story not a full-blown scandal?

And why is Thomas such an insufferable prick and still has yet to be shown his fucking ass on a platter?

Orange-hued crybaby John Boehner is blocking a resolution to allow WWI vet Frank Buckles to lie in state at the Capitol.

The honor requires a congressional resolution or the approval of congressional leaders, according to the office of the architect of the Capitol.

The bodies of prominent citizens have been displayed in the Rotunda on 30 occasions, starting in 1852 with Henry Clay, a Kentucky senator and congressman. Others include President Abraham Lincoln and senile former actor Ronald Reagan, unknown soldiers from America's wars and civil rights hero Rosa Parks.

In his final years, Buckles had campaigned for greater recognition for the 4.7 million Americans who joined the military in 1917 and 1918 during World War I. Among his goals was a national memorial in Washington for those who served in that conflict.

Buckles enlisted at age of 16 after lying about his age. After the war ended, he helped repatriate German prisoners of war, returning to the U.S. in January 1920.

Above: Mr Boehner.

Because the GOP doesn't like the government getting between you and your doctor or unnecessary medical procedures, the Texas GOP is trying to pass a bill to put the government between you and your doctor for an unnecessary medical procedure:

House Bill 15, sponsored by state Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, requires a doctor performing an abortion to conduct a sonogram at least 24 hours before the procedure was to take place. The doctor also is required to show the woman the sonogram image, play the sound of the fetal heartbeat for her and describe in some detail the image that appears on the sonogram. The woman does not have to view the sonogram or hear the heartbeat, although she still would have to hear the doctor's description.

Hillary: "Viewership of Al Jazeera is going up in the US because it's real news," unlike the pathetic screaming, lying, biased commentary our own media provides.

“In fact viewership of al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it’s real news. You may not agree with it, but you feel like you’re getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners,” she added.

Attacking other people and their families has become de rigeur for noted hypocrite Mike "Yuck"abee. Maybe he should remove that Mt Rushmore-sized mote from his own eye first:

The Pensito Review:

HUCKABEE: “…I do think [Pres. Obama] has a different worldview and I think it’s, in part, molded out of a very different experience. Most of us grew up going to Boy Scout meetings and, you know, our communities were filled with Rotary Clubs, not madrassas.”

Oh really...

Huckabee’s son David had been fired by the Boy Scouts as a camp counselor after he and another counselor captured a stray dog, hanged him by the neck, slit his throat and stoned him to death.

The elder Huckabee, who was governor of Arkansas at the time, later fired a local prosecutor who had investigated the matter with the aim of filing animal cruelty charges against David Huckabee and the other boy.

But since Mike Huckabee has chosen to criticize the president’s upbringing and the way it shaped his worldview, someone should ask him who warped his own son into the kind of person who would commit such a heinous and gruesome act — was it David Huckabee’s bigoted Southern Baptist preacher father, the Boy Scouts of America — or both?

Update: the Kenyan madrassa-going Obama's boyhood home of Indonesia has the largest membership of Scouts in the world.

The world, "Fuck"abee.

Amen to that

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Two words: Bristol Palin -

In a radio appearance on Monday, [holier-than-thou hypocrite] Mike Huckabee attacked actress Natalie Portman for having a child "out of wedlock." Huckabee said that it's "troubling" to see people like "Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, 'Hey look, you know, we're having children, we're not married, but we're having these children, and they're doing just fine.'" Huckabee added that "it's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock."

After decades of forcing through tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, again and again Republicans are going all in promoting the bullshit that there is a deficit crisis.
Here is how it works:

1) Cut taxes for the rich and corporations (corporate stock is mostly owned by the top 1%); big deficits result.
2) Claim a deficit emergency and use their domination of corporate-owned media to whip the public into a panic, creating the appearance of demand for corporate-approved "solutions." Manipulate the appearance of consensus.
3) With taxes and military “off the table” push through cuts in the things government does for We, the People.

Repeat as often as needed to create a plutocracy.

Today's "debt crisis" is the culmination of the long-term "starve the beast" strategy from an organized corporate-conservative movement. By cutting taxes for the wealthy they have starved the government, created massive debt (guess where the interest payments go).

Ain't Capitalism grand?

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's eyes have the glazed over look of a man who just jacked off to a Facebook album of your niece's fifth birthday party. Actually, that's not accurate because that assumes that Walker would try to hide his proclivities. Indeed, Walker seems more like the kind of guy who'd walk into that party with a Koch Industries dildo in his ass and tell everyone to watch while he yanked it to the musical chairs songs. God help the little girl who is in the last chair. For what else do you say about a governor whose official website has a press release titled "Walker Calls Democrat Legislators Back Into State." You got that? Not "Democratic," but the politicized, insulting "Democrat" as adjective. It's like getting a note from your boss on company stationery that calls you a "cocksucker."

What a surprise! It seems that one of the more popular ways for Rushthuglicans to accomplish what they want is by taking hostages:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott ~~Mubarak~~ Walker warns that state employees could start receiving layoff notices as early as next week if a bill eliminating collective bargaining rights isn't passed soon. Walker said Tuesday in a statement to The Associated Press that the layoffs wouldn't take effect immediately. He didn't say which workers would be targeted.

The right wingers keep saying that the reason they had to give all those tax cuts to big corporations and the rich (which broke the budget) was because it would stimulate the economy and create jobs. Now he's willing to eliminate jobs just to get his way.
Let us know how THAT works out, Hosni.

I voted Republican because, damn it, we don't need our food inspected, or our streets paved, or clean water, or fire departments.

I voted Republican because I believe that government should police and regulate women's vaginae. Unlike, say, mountaintop mining companies or the entire pharmaceutical industry.

I voted Republican because I only give a shit about deficits...or the constitution...or illegal wars...when there is someone in the White House with a (D) after their name.

I voted Republican because I believe blowjobs are impeachable offenses, but torture, secret prisons and illegal wars are just good, clean fun!

I voted Republican because I believe that somehow, someday, I will join the ranks of the wealthiest 1/10th of 1% of the population that Republicans actually care about.

I voted Republican because its easier than thinking for myself.

“If that does concern people that they have a bright orange card, I hope they go get a better education or better jobs and stop using that card,” he said.

Last summer, a peace rally in Wisconsin’s inner city drew about 100 people calling for the U.S. to get out of Afghanistan. “There was no media coverage,” he says. “I was the only reporter there.”

The next day, 40 people attended a tea party event in Wisconsin and every local media outlet was there to cover it. “This is what we’ve been seeing over the past year. If there’s a peace rally or a worker’s rights rally, it’s ho hum. You might find a reporter or two. The tea party would gather five people on the corner and there would be coverage.”

Not only has the political tide shifted so far right that being a Rushthuglibot or anybody that swallows the prepubescent bile that they spew should be considered having a mental illness that should be guaranteed to be covered by Obamacare, which, as everyone knows would mean it's death panel time, motherfuckers, but the corporate media plays right along.
Sharia law, bed wetters! Muslim brotherhood!! OOga BOOga!!

Seriously? Do they really think that we are that fucking stupid? Well there are reasons why one would suppose.

Although one would have to watch al Jazeera English to know the answer to know the answer to this game, let's play compare and contrast, via The Rude Pundit

Whereas an Egyptian in Tahrir Square generally says things about how Mubarak has demonstrably repressed the masses of citizens, a teabagger makes sputtering, guttural noises that amount to "Blurgh. Obama. Blurgh," which has about as much of a basis in reality as it does in English syntax and grammar. It's a fascinating phenomenon, one that should probably be studied by linguists, sociologists, and stand-up comedians.

Word
Most of us are better than that.
We should be walking like Egyptians.

Compassionate Conservatism Revisited

The orange hued Boner,

"If some of those jobs are lost so be it. We're broke."

We're broke EXCEPT when it comes to a jet engine to be built in his state for the military that they don't want or need.
The Republican hypocrisy is physically painful. They talked about repealing the "job-killing" Affordable Care Act, but if their agenda kills jobs, it's "so be it"?
The GOP doesn't care about jobs, never did; never will, they don't care about the middle class, never did; never will, the only people's jobs that they care about are their own.

These subhuman fuckers are getting out of control

A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of "justifiable homicide" to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on a nine-to-three party-line vote, and is expected to face a floor vote in the state's GOP-dominated House of Representatives soon.

Vigilante justice for all! Except, of course, women wishing to control their own uterus. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If one of these rich, white pro-life motherfuckers(yes, they fuck their own mothers) had a daughter who got impregnated by big black Bubba from down in the hood, their precious darling would have an abortion, legal or not, whether she wanted it or not. And Bubba would probably end up disappeared or dead.
And now they want to justify MURDERING a Doctor who performs an abortion???
Pro-life my pale bulbous ass.

As much as I hate to admit it, I suddenly LOVES me them Green Bay Packers

We know that it is teamwork on and off the field that makes the Packers and Wisconsin great. As a publicly owned team we wouldn't have been able to win the Super Bowl without the support of our fans.
It is the same dedication of our public workers every day that makes Wisconsin run. They are the teachers, nurses and child care workers who take care of us and our families. But now in an unprecedented political attack Governor Walker is trying to take away their right to have a voice and bargain at work.

The right to negotiate wages and benefits is a fundamental underpinning of our middle class. When workers join together it serves as a check on corporate power and helps ALL workers by raising community standards. Wisconsin's long standing tradition of allowing public sector workers to have a voice on the job has worked for the state since the 1930s. It has created greater consistency in the relationship between labor and management and a shared approach to public work.

These public workers are Wisconsin's champions every single day and we urge the Governor and the State Legislature to not take away their rights.

"Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can quietly become a power no government can surpress, a power that can change the world." Howard Zinn

I'm not thinking our Captalist overlords are going to want to see this kind of Government intrusion.

The State Department plans to finance programs like circumvention services, which enable users to evade Internet firewalls, and training for human rights workers on how to secure their e-mail from surveillance or wipe incriminating data from cellphones if they are detained by the police.

Though the policy has been on the drawing board for months, it has new urgency in light of the turmoil in the Arab world, because it will be part of a larger debate over how the United States weighs its alliances with entrenched leaders against the young people inspired by the events in Tunisia and Egypt.

I wouldn't think the knobgobblers at the State Department would know how to get a dialtone on a house phone.
It will be interesting to follow the development of this new Internet freedom policy, especially with the Senate considering a bill allowing the president to turn off the Internet during a cyberattack.
There is more to this story.......

Add some racism to a large dose of teh stupid and you get this.

REP. O’BRIEN: My son who’s a Kansas resident, born here, raised here, didn’t qualify for any financial aid. Yet this girl was going to get financial aid. My son was kinda upset about it because he works and pays for his own schooling and his books and everything and he didn’t think that was fair. We didn’t ask the girl what nationality she was, we didn’t think that was proper. But we could tell by looking at her that she was not originally from this country. [...]

REP. GATEWOOD: Can you expand on how you could tell that they were illegal?

REP. O’BRIEN: Well she wasn’t black, she wasn’t Asian, and she had the olive complexion.

Ummm, wouldn't Jesus have an 'olive' complexion? Somehow the Republithugs seem to be regressing and upping the proverbial ante on their stupidity. Sounds like O'Brien is just pissed because she couldn't get some of that socialized big gubmit welfare.
But a darkie did.....unfair.

THAT, in a nutshell is what the fuck is wrong with the humans that infest this cunt tree: I deserve it, but those "others" don't.

The GOP Chainsaw Massacre

Republicans propose cutting $1.1 billion from the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, which is the nation’s largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences. The plan calls for a $1 billion budget cut at the National Institutes of Health, the federal government’s medical research agency. The Centers for Disease Control would see its funding drop by $755 million. Agricultural research would be cut by $246 million.

The spending plan, which will go to the House floor for a vote next week, also calls for eliminating $1 billion in funding for high-speed rail projects, a program that Obama wants to spend $53 billion on over the next six years. Amtrak would face a $224 million budget cut.

Among the other cuts:

* The Department of Energy’s loan-guarantee program, which supports loans for clean-energy projects, would be reduced by $1.4 billion.
* Spending on other energy efficiency and renewable energy programs would be cut by nearly $900 million.
* The Environmental Protection Agency would have $1.6 billion less to spend, making it harder for the agency to proceed with regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.

Appropriators also hacked away at popular, less controversial programs, cutting $600 million in funding that helps localities hire additional police officers and $758 million in food assistance to low-income women and their children. Funding for community health centers would be cut by $1.3 billion, and $2 billion less would be available for job-training programs.

But don't touch our precious war machine!

Upkeep of roads, bridges and transit systems is a high priority to an overwhelming margin of Americans, but by an even greater margin they don't want to pay more for it, according to a survey that will be released this week.

The Reich wing Wurlizer is at it again:

CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf told the House Budget Committee on Thursday that the health care law will reduce employment by 0.5 percent by 2021 because some people will no longer have to work just to afford health insurance.

Naturally, this is being portrayed by the GOP as "job killing."

Think or say what you will about the National Enquirer,but they got it right on Edwards, and hopefully, lightening will strike twice.

Capitol Hill insiders and political bloggers have been buzzing about an upcoming New York Times probe - detailing an alleged affair that the 61-year-old married father of two had with pretty Washington lobbyist LISBETH LYONS.
And an ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered a bedroom encounter that Boehner - second in line of succession to the presidency - allegedly had with LEIGH LaMORA, a 46-year-old former press secretary to ex-Colorado Congressman JOEL HEFLEY.

Please, please, please.....

You hire a hooker and you know what you're going to get.:

A senior aide to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) who was behind Republicans' Pledge to America is leaving Capitol Hill to join one of Washington's top-earning lobby firms.
As senior adviser for legislative initiatives to Boehner, Brian Wild was the executive director of the House GOP project that produced the Pledge, the GOP governing philosophy laid out before last year's midterm elections.

Republicans who serve their masters well are rewarded richly. Obviously the core value of their jobs plan.
Fucking wow.

10 Things Conservatives Don’t Want You To Know About Ronald Reagan
11. Reagan didn't ride into soviet Russia on a white stallion, draped in the American flag to single handily defeat the communists with American exceptionalism beams.
And a few more:
Reagan was the one who started taxing unemployment benefits. Reagan was the one who pushed up the Social Security retirement age from 65. Reagan was the one who closed the income tax deduction for credit card interest, forcing higher taxes on the middle class in particular. Reagan was a union buster. He was a homophobe who could have gotten a handle on the exploding AIDS crisis if he had acted early. He declared ketchup to be a vegetable so California wouldn't have to add a vegetable to its school lunches. And speaking of vegetables, he was senile long before he left office. Other than that he was just a bad actor.

And let's not forget that the Deified Reagan also had Saddam Hussein on the payroll during his presidency as long as he was killing Iranians.
Condensed version: Reagan was a "tax raising, amnesty giving, cut-and-running, negotiating with terrorist" kind of guy.

But in a jolt to reality, as bad as Reagan was he would say these fuckers running the Republican party today are out of their fucking minds.

The most persecuted American since Jesus, former half term Governess $arah Failin Mooselini® bails on military family fundraiser because....the Giffords shooting is still all about HER:

A press release posted on the sponsoring organization's Facebook page reads, "Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Gov. Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns."
The press release goes on to say that no direct threats were made against Palin, nor were any made against members of the organization's staff, but in light of the shooting rampage in Arizona last month, the negative rhetoric "raises concern for her safety and the safety of others despite the call for civility in America."

Oh, and then there is this:

The cancellation of the speaking engagement frees Palin to attend the NBC/Politico Republican presidential primary debate at the Reagan Presidential Library in California, also scheduled for May 2.

That such a balloon head has been the center of the corporate medias attention for over 4 years should tell you how fucked we are as a country.

Leftist groups [sic] had planned to protest the visit, according to news agencies and probably Faux Noise. But several human rights groups had also filed criminal complaints against Bush, demanding that he be taken into custody if he stepped on Swiss soil and investigated for allegations of ordering torture.

A right-wing member of the Swiss parliament also demanded last week Bush's arrest on war crimes allegations if he came to the country, according to Reuters.
