The Parade of Racist Republicans Continues

They should probably get a marching band dressed in hoods….This time it was Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose who sent an email with a racially inappropriate content-namely, the White House issuing a statement that there would be no Easter Egg hunt this year due to the Watermelon patch. Them Negros like their watermelons, ya know, heh, heh, heh…..at least he has the class to resign.

The Holocaust Denying Bishop’s Apology falls a little flat

The Vatican said Bishop Richard Williamson’s apology wasn’t quite up to snuff, and he’s going to have to do a little bit better. Williamson apologized for his remarks on Thursday, saying he would never have made them if he had known “the full harm and hurt to which they would give rise.” The Vatican implied that he would actually have to change his position to fit that of actual historical fact, not just apologize for saying it while continuing to hold onto those beliefs. The Pope then returned to his adherence to a book that has very little basis in fact.

Bobby Jindal Lied to You

Remember that story about Bobby Jindal (Republicans: we can has minorities) cutting through red tape while sitting in the sheriff’s office during Katrina? Yeah, that didn’t happen. He wasn’t there. He was hardly even near there as news reports can confirm. In fact, he was in his palace overlooking the city, playing a violin the whole time. See how quickly he will lie to manipulate you?

Karl Rove = pot kettle = doing the economy harm

Karl Rove, just off a nearly eight year stint of destroying the nation, took some time out to explain how Barack Obama’s budget is bad for the economy. Because he is overspending. And he says it with a straight face. With bonus high tech dry-erase board graphics.

Federal Judge Quits For not getting a Pay Raise

Probably better off not having somebody this out of touch with the state of the world as a judge. $169k wasn’t enough this year I guess.

Cleric who said Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment for homosexuality is made bishop by Vatican

Obama might not be the anti-christ, but this Pope is sure showing signs. I love people who believe this, because it shows how hateful and blind to reality they are. The gays got out of New Orleans before Katrina, and poor Christians were the ones left to suffer, and people like this won’t even recognize this. It’s about as intelligent as not believing in the holocaust.Perfect! He also calls the Harry Potter books Satanic. What a winner.

It’s official, it’s a meme

Protester throws a shoe at Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao.

Christina Romer responds to the Republican’s use of her arguments

She says that they interpreted her wrong, and that spending on projects produces far more jobs than tax cuts. Here’s the way I see it. Taxes get cut, money is spent on things made overseas, meaning money goes overseas, and jobs are made elsewhere. Spend on infrastructure, well, it’s not like you’re going to make a bridge in China and put it on a boat.

Well, Kentucky is a RED state

Kentucky’s ice storm is not being responded to fast enough.
