Bush and Congress Continue to Bicker

Bush is again accussing Congress of ineptitude and again forgetting his own complete incompetence. Jim Manley, an aide to Sen. Harry Reid, was quick to remind him..."Taking advice from President Bush about fiscal responsibility and getting things done for the American people is like taking hunting lessons from Dick Cheney. Neither is a very good idea." Thank you for showing some backbone Jim Manley. Take him to task. This "president" cannot and should not be allowed to point fingers at others after he managed to so completely violate this country over a six year period. But that's what happens when you hand an idiot a rubber stamp .

Cheney's a Confederate!

The AP is reporting that Cheney went on a hunting trip to the Clove Valley Rod & Gun Club 70 miles north of NY City, where a small confederate flag was visible inside a garage on the property. You can already see where this is going can't you? The link must of course be that if some groundskeeper placed it there, then that must mean Cheney supports lynching black people, right? This is an absurd story fabricated by the media and one that gives fodder to the nuts who support this administration. It gives them an example of the "obvious" liberal bias in the media, especially when the article reads "The photo was shown to New York City civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton, who issued a statement demanding that the vice president "leave immediately, denounce the club and apologize for going to a club that represents lynching, hate and murder to black people." I can picture the reporter thinking "How can I can turn this into a story? Hmmm. I know. I'll go talk to Sharpton. Rev. Klump is always good for a sound bite."

School Bans Harry Potter

St. Joseph's, a Catholic school in Massachusetts, has banned Harry Potter and his witchcraft from the library. This is absurd. Are we living in the dark ages? Maybe they could hold a book burning, as was common in the state back in the 17th century. Where is the threat here? That the books might turn the children into satanists? According to Rev. Ron Barker, pastor of the school, yes. He has to "protect the weak and the strong."

White House Edits CDC Report

The White House cut CDC director Julie Gerberding's 14 page testimony on the health effects of global warming to just 4 pages, editing out statements like "CDC considers climate change a serious public health concern." According to one CDC official "It was eviscerated." I am sick of this administration trying to alter science to fit its religious and corporate agendas. Even if you are skeptical of global warming, what is the harm in playing along when the potential consequences of not doing so are so severe? I can't believe we have to put up with this idiot for another 15 months.

Brownback Finally Done

Senator Brownback realized what was obvious to 99% of America and officially dropped out of the race today. He has said he will not run for a third term, but it is widely believed he will run for governor, which will bring him one state closer to achieving a theocracy. My heart goes out to the tolerant citizens of Kansas, however few they may be.

Brownback Is Out!

Sources close to the Kansas senator have said he will drop out of the presidential race on Friday, citing insufficient funds. His platform consisted almost entirely of religiously based domestic policies like hanging gays and legalizing abortion clinic bombings. Shocking that the majority of Americans don't want a theocracy. Nice to see he wasted a few million dollars though. It must have been those damn stem cells he talks to that were pushing him to run.

Support James Dobson

I know how crazing the title sounds. The man typifies the kind of right wing lunacy that is destroying my party. But when I heard that he and the other right wing religious lunatics might start a third party it gave me hope that maybe one day rationality will return to the Republican party. Go for it "Dr." Dobson. Break away!

Bush Criticizes Congress?

He doesn't have intelligence, integrity, or a good handle on the English language, but Bush does have balls. Today Bush addressed Congress' failure to do anything meaningful, saying "Congress has little to show for all the time that has gone by". Are you kidding! It takes major cajones to say something like that after you have a guaranteed stamp for the first six years of your presidency and have nothing good to show for it. No president has undermined the constitution, engaged in such fiscal irresponsibility, AND destroyed America's standing in the world as much as this rube. He is an embarrassment to the office and this country. But he does have giant balls.

Fair and Balanced Moment of the Day

As Congress prepares for a resolution condemning Limbaugh, FOX News weighed in with this piece of journalistic opinion "Senate Democrats frustrated by failed battles against Republicans to change Iraq war policy are instead taking on one of the war's staunchest supporters." Failed battles. They ought to link those words to patriotic music that plays when you click them.

Congress Wasting Time

I am sick of these worthless resolutions condemning MoveOn and Limbaugh. They need to be spending their time fixing the messes Bush has created and righting this country, not pounding their chests. How about a resolution calling on legislators to get to work!

Limbaugh - The Phony Patriot

Limbaugh is under fire from Democrats for calling anti-war soldiers "phony soldiers". Limbaugh and his supporters are trying to claim he was referencing one phony soldier named Jesse Macbeth when he made the reference while talking with a caller. Given the context of the conversation, however, and everything we know about Rush, I find it hard to believe he meant anything other than to discount those who have sacrificed so much in Iraq and who might have a different opinion on this failed mess of a war.

He had his chance to distance himself from that perspective when the caller said "The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country." Rush said nothing. So none of the soldiers who have lost limbs and speak out against this war are real? This is pathetic. Rush is a phony patriot. He wants to defend this war and this monkey of a president, he can lift his fat ass out of that cushy chair, put down the oxycotin, and fight. Like a real patriot. God damn worthless blowhard.
