Important news!

That Didn't Take Long

Well, the Royal Kids were married Friday. Today CNN has an opinion piece about whether the marriage can survive.

They also have a video about how fast it took to have Miss Kate's wedding dress duplicated.

This is the state of our media.

Everyone has Gone Bloody Nuts!

I used to think that Florida had the most loons.

Then the Alaska crazies moved to the top.

Arizona went flying by after the immigration law was passed.

Iowa's right wing zealots who ousted three supreme court justices and have formed a coalition to fight off the ugly, gay loving liberals was, at the top of the heap. Until this:

Bail was set Wednesday at $1,500 for a town of Vermont man accused of shooting his television after becoming enraged by Bristol Palin’s performance on “Dancing with the Stars,” threatening his wife and sparking a 15-hour standoff with Dane County sheriff’s deputies.

So, Wisconsin, home of Bucky the Badger and way too many taverns to count, takes over the top spot. Until I read the news again. Then who knows?

Here's The story with an update here

I’d love to write more, but I have a cross-tearing-down to attend.

Newt is at it again!

God is in Charge of Regulating CO2

The Freedom Institute of Erie County (Ohio) has released its Voter Guide. Here is my favorite:

The regulation of Carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere should be left to God and not government and I oppose all measures of Cap and Trade as well as the teaching of global warming theory in our schools.

The Iowa GOP is Loony

Adopted in December 1865, the current 13th Amendment of the Constitution prohibits “slavery” and “involuntary servitude” in the United States or any place under its jurisdiction. The Iowa GOP is not trying to overturn this amendment to reinstate slavery. Instead, it wants to reintroduce the “original 13th Amendment” first offered by senator Phillip Reed of Maryland in 1810. The amendment states that “if any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honor” from a “foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen” and “shall be incapable of holding any office of trust.” In receiving only 12 out of the 13 votes needed for ratification, the amendment was never adopted.

Traditional supporters of the idea are known as “Thirteenthers,” who seek to prevent those with the title of “esquire,” such as lawyers and bankers, from participating in government. But according to its spokeswoman, Danielle Plogmann, the Iowa GOP supports it as an attack on President Obama’s Nobel Prize win:

There are, of course, other implications of Thirteenthism, such as ensuring that the United States never again suffers the humiliation of having a president win the Nobel Peace Prize. That was just what the Iowa Republicans had in mind, according to Plogmann, who wrote in an e-mail that the plank “was meant to make a statement about the delegates’ opinion about Mr. Obama receiving the prize.” (Presumably they didn’t mind if, in the process, they were also making a statement about any American scientist or writer unlucky enough to win a Nobel.) Unfortunately for them, the Department of Justice looked into whether Obama needed Congressional approval to accept the Nobel under the existing emoluments clause, and based on the meaning of “foreign state” (which would not cover the Nobel Prize Committee) concluded that he did not.

We'll be OK

What the World Needs????

Update: What's the point of this?

Pastor Jeff has apologized for the hate that he spewed. I believe him and forgive him. The things that a person believes can change over time.

Elena Kagan's thesis while at Harvard in 1981 is being used by the right to prove that she is a socialist and not fit to be a member of the Supreme Court. Is she a socialist just because she wrote about the failure of socialism while a student?

Why doesn't the right give people a chance to change their minds, as Pastor Jeff does?

Do we really need preachers like Pastor Jeff Owens?



Alas, he has apologized:

Get Pregnant and Get Rich

At least she's learned how to cross her legs!

It seems that child mother Bristol Palin has found a way to support the baby that she and Levi (his 15 minutes is up) conceived. And she is going to do it the old fashioned way; by telling other teens not to have sex. At $15,000-$30,000 per speaking engagement. Cool.

Of course she wouldn't have this opportunity if her mother, what's her name, hadn't been thrust into the national spotlight by a desperate John McCain. The rww* will point to Bristol and whn** as success stories of good old American capitalism. They worked hard to make good in difficult times.

Return Address Required

Republicans love to talk about how much they love the Constitution and how the men that wrote it were inspired by God. As for those nasty ammendmnets (other than the 2nd one, something to do with guns) sometimes not so much. This is what Rep. Duncan Hunter (R Ca) said over the weekend:

"Would you support deportation of natural-born American citizens that are the children of illegal aliens," Hunter was asked. "I would have to, yes," Hunter said. "... We simply cannot afford what we're doing right now," he said. "... It takes more than just walking across the border to become an American citizen. It's what's in our souls. ..."

That kind of goes against the 14th Ammendment:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Chickens and Revolushun

Sue Lowden started this when she brought up the new payment system for health care.

Now, the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, declared male pattern baldness and the mysteries of homosexuality are caused by eating chicken.


Some of those tea bag people don't really know how to spell very well.

It's Getting Loonier

Iowa has Steve King. Minnesota has Michele Bachmann. Alaska has/had Sarah Palin.

And now the latest loon to emerge from the wing nuts:

Former Nevada GOP chair Sue Lowden who is running against Harry Reid. She thinks chickens are a good thing for health care. From TPM.

And the wonderful people of Minnesota actually elected this........person!

"If in fact there is a nation who is compliant with all of the rules ahead of time and they've complied with the United Nations on nuclear proliferation, if they fire against the United States a biological weapon, a chemical weapon or maybe a cyber attack, well then we aren't going to be firing back with nuclear weapons," Bachmann said. "Doesn't that make us all feel safe?"

Rep. Michele Bachmann

Revolution King Sized

This guy has to be taken seriously because he's against the government in power. Which leads me to:


It's time for Uncle Steve to go to Bethesda for a mental checkup, because calling for an overthrow of the government sounds like treason to me.
