One of the downsides to Facebook, and online life in general these days is the signal to noise ratio of politcal blather.  It's everywhere.  From the security of our keyboards (and hey, I could very well be naked while typing this...) we read, post, share, and feign outrage at people taking offense to the meme's and outright drivel we post all over ( Read more... )

As if Todd Akin hasn't insulted our collective intelligence enough, the other day the distinguished Candidate for Senate from the Great State of Missour-ah compared Senator Claire McCaskill to a dog the other day.  Specifically, to one of those "dog tricks, y'know Fetch."

*headdesk*

But wait!  It gets better!!!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, your attention please!  May I have your attention please?  Thank you!  I'd like to direct your attention to Charlie Fuqua, Republican candidate for the Arkansas House of Representatives!

Charlie wrote a book. Charlie titled his book God's Law.  I guess Charlie didn't think that God did a good enough job with The Bible. Among ( Read more... )

 Well, I'd say you are pretty closed to fucked without getting kissed, Boys and Girls

 Yesterday, we were treated to the Media's wall-to-wall coverage of Weiner's (covered) weiner. This was a direct result of the Good Congressmen 'fessing up about his twittered (covered) weiner shot sprung on assorted females in the Twitterverse.

The tools of the GOP are calling an Emergency Meeting tomorrow to defund NPR.  The term 'asshats' come to mind, so I sent the following email to our member of Congress, that works for me and the rest of this district telling him what I thought of such shenanigans ( Read more... )

This song in the this video is likely to get stuck in your head.  It has that ear worm potential in the catchy hooks, the sing-a-long chorus and the subject matter.  Subject Matter?  Oh yeah...It's more CHRISTINE O'DONNELL!!!!

And now....Ben Sheehan and his great little ditty about that ditzy Senate Wannabee...."Christine!"

Ah, Thank G*d for Christine O'Donnell, the Comedic Candidate Gift that Keeps on Giving.  I don't care if you are a lefty or a righty, some of the goofy crap that come out of her mouth would get laughed out of Hollywood as being too unbelievable.  Yet, here it is.  2010 and we have a True Blue Looney Tune running for Senate in Delaware.

I get that ( Read more... )

I am quite saddened by the amount of emotional "debate" over the so-called Ground Zero Mosque.  This really isn't an issue to me, nor should it be to anyone else.  The Constitution is quite clear about it.  Freedom of Assembly, and Freedom of Religion.  Last I looked, Islam is a religion.    The Muslims who want to build their mosque there should ( Read more... )
