Right wing lunacy

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
Tags:

Is it just me, or has the extreme end of the right wing jumped off the edge of reason and landed gleefully into a pit of pure batshit insane? Between Glenn Beck’s bursting into tears at the very mention of America and Michelle Bachman’s deliberate misinterpretation of a new community service program as a sort [...]

Quote of the Day

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

So, that picture of Sarah Palin in a bikini and carrying a gun? Yeah, not so much.
Don’t get me wrong. Much as I despise Sarah Palin’s positions on most issues and insane as I think the McCain campaign is for selecting her as a VP candidate without bothering to vet her at all (I stand [...]

I, too, would happily have Jon Stewart’s Love Child

Offered without commentary:

On another note, can anyone validate the rumor I heard that Palin will be dropping out of the race soon in order to “spend more time with her infant child”?

Shuddering…

Friday, August 29th, 2008

“I beg to disagree with any candidate who would say we can’t drill our way out of our problem…” -Sarah Palin
The more I learn about this woman, the more frightened I become. And the more I would want to slap McCain around and ask, “What in the world were you thinking?”, if I seriously believed [...]

Sarah Palin

Friday, August 29th, 2008

So, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is apparently going to be McCain’s running mate. An interesting choice. I wonder if McCain’s gunning for the disaffected Hillary Democrats who feel spurned by the party’s choice of Obama over Clinton? If so, will her anti-abortion / pro-drilling stance still appeal to the Clinton holdovers?
It’s also kind of a [...]

Someone get the barf bags.

I admit that I haven’t been following the Democratic National Convention. I know that I’ve missed some truly amazing speeches. Michelle Obama’s speech was, I’m told, nothing short of awe-inspiring, and Hilary Clinton’s motion to nominate Barack for President was apparently on the same level. I also missed Bill Clinton’s speech, which is kind of [...]

California Tradition
In order to bring a fresh take on the traditional Overdue Budget Party that California throws for several months, Governor Schwarzenegger last week signed an executive order recommending that the state cut pay for all state workers down to the Federal minimum wage, and lay off thousands of part-time and temporary employees. One hopes [...]

Why does Rachael Ray hate America?

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

I’ve never been a big fan of Rachael Ray. I don’t dislike her, but I don’t go out of my way to follow her on any of her shows or read her books or anything like that. Like Al Roker, she’s just one of the thousands of celebrities in the world that don’t arouse any [...]

McCain scares me

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

I do think that even though there’s some equivocation and disingenuousness going on in this video (voting to extend tax cuts is not the same as voting against the tax cuts in the first place) there’s enough material here to remind us that McCain’s so-called "straight talk" is really anything but.
Thanks to filkmaster Tom Smith [...]

The Undead Campaign

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

I still maintain that Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign is a zombie campaign at this point; most pundits seem to think that her win in West Virginia doesn’t mean much now that Obama has taken the lead in the popular vote, in states won, and in superdelegates. And today, Obama picked up an endorsement from John [...]

Real Life Zombie

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

I am, of course, talking about the Clinton campaign. It’s dead but it won’t stop moving around, grasping desperately at votes and delegates like a zombie lunging after brains.
There are plenty of things that bug me about the Clinton campaign, from the unscrupulous way they’re trying to reseat the delegates from states that were told [...]

“I’m Here Because of Ashley”

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Damn, that was one hell of a speech.  I am SO hoping that Obama becomes the Democratic candidate for President.  America needs vision again, and I really, honestly, believe that Obama has the vision that American needs.
There is a young, twenty-three year old white woman named Ashley Baia who organized for our campaign in Florence, [...]

A Wee Political Moment

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Most of the time, I despise politics with the same sort of loathing that cats have for water, but with less subtlety.  However, I’ve actually come around this year to feeling something really unexpected and odd… a sense, shall I say, of an actual shred of respect and a feeling that.. dare I say it… [...]

The Terror Begins

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Halloween is almost here, which means that in addition to the ghouls and zombies and mass murderers and aliens, the politicians are slowly crawling out of the woodwork to start peddling themselves as somehow "qualified" to lead the nation.  Even though the election is still over a year away, there are still plenty of reasons [...]
