Focused Rambling

Here's what Republicans have to talk about...

Somehow I missed MustardGate, but it appears that the right-wing team just can't believe that Obama had mustard on his cheeseburger recently . No, seriously, it's an issue to them, it means that Obama's elitist because he couldn't just eat the ketchup like normal folks. You have got to be kidding me, is Sean Hannity really the biggest dolt in the world?

Libertarians finally have a place to call home... Somalia!

Ask any good Libertarian, the only good government is no government. Now watch this hilarious PSA that tells Libertarians where they can go to put their collective money where their mouth is... Somalia, where there has been no functioning government since 1991. Remember, it's always easy to say the government is meaningless when they're providing you protection and services that allow you to live comfortably enough to comment on their inadequacies...

Joe Duh Plumber Defines "Queers" For Us... Can He Also Define Bloodsucking Opportunist?

Joe the Plumber recently gave an interview to Christianity Today (sounds like a riveting read of a mag) that included his "shocking" admission that he has some gay friends . But luckily, any gay person that could unfortunately claim that reality as true would know where they stand with Ol' Joe, because he makes it clear that he "wouldn't have them anywhere near my children". What's wrong Joe, afraid they might teach the kid tolerance, or that science explains some of the baffling mysteries of the world (like electricity or disease or tootsie pop centers)? Or that it's OK to accept that some people just don't believe that they should deny their truest core feelings because some other people want to interpret ancient religions to pursue an agenda.

Colbert explores the First 14 Mondays

If you just can't stand to hear one more news outlet discuss the "First 100 Days", then you will truly love Stephen Colbert's inventive methodology for evaluating the work of the president to date... "the first 14 Mondays". And everyone knows that if you can succeed on a Monday, you can succeed any time.

Thank Goodness They Cut Out That Ridiculous Flu Pandemic Money...

Money to address a flu pandemic was stripped from the stimulus bill by Repubs ... of course, at this moment can you think of anything that more threatens to completely destroy the economy?

Republican Rebranding... like selling cigarettes to babies

In the midst of the swine flu outbreak, what this country needs is some good news. So it is with great pleasure that I find that the Republicans are undergoing "rebranding" . Is that kind of like when a hunter reloads before blowing the heck out of something? Or when you replace your septic system with a new-improved system that makes your waste smell like apple pie (although you also have to eat it to survive).

Palin's got a gun...

What better way to know that a special interest group expects you to support their every whim than when they give you a special assault rifle designed just for you . Ah, how cute, now she won't have to borrow Cheney's...

Daily Show skewers the Teabaggers...

Good god these people are making me sick... how about marching for aid to Rwanda or spending a day in a soup kitchen instead of parading around in goofy hats and reciting talking points. Yawn....

Joe the Plumber is a teabagger...

I had almost forgotten that Joe duh plumber still was hanging around until I was reminded by Huffington Post's Jason Linkins . Seems Joe is now taking his populist B.S. on the Taxless America tour. I don't know, I'm not sure it isn't Joe the Plumber/Palin 2012 now (she already has experience as a vice-presidential candidate, so she won't have to study hard and stay up late like she did the first night she had to take a pregnancy test. Someone really should have told her that it wasn't graded. And the Plumber, he would have faked pregnancy to get on TV as a pregnant man, and then proceeded to blame his condition on Democrats and fast food. This guy has really run his course, would someone please tell Joe the Plumber that he's transparently manipulative and yet so painfully simple.

Finally Franken?

Well, that was easy... a Minnesota court has finally ruled that Al Franken should win the Minnesota Senate seat over Norm Coleman. Finally, some closure, a time to move on to the business of making this once-great nation back into it's former... what, oh excuse me, Coleman is appealing, yawn....
