I Hope You're Happy

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.

Rising stars: 10 Republicans to watch

And not a single one of them is competent.

Why we hate executives pt1

Spansion, Inc. Cut 3,000 jobs, then restored executives to full pay. The laid off workers were given no severance pay. They make flash memory chips, and are failing. Hm. Go figure.

Why we hate executives pt 2 (And by association Chicago, Earth WInd and Fire and Cheryl Crow)

Northern Trust Bank, They received $1.6 billion in bailout bucks. This was part of sponsorship for a golf tournament, for which they paid out a good deal of the $6.3 million dollar purse. I have no problem with this, as the deal to promote it was probably inked long ago. The shows were probably booked as well, but could have been toned down.

While the stimulus bill was palatable, I’m not sure this spending bill is.

This might be a little too much for us to swallow right now. I really want to know what all is going into this one.

Now that I’ve heard the charges, Burris is Guilty.

I like the excuse, though. I’m not guilty because my fundraising efforts failed. Let’s see if that works in any other context: “You can’t convict me because I failed to murder him.” Not really.

Americans think GOP should drop ideology and work with Obama

But will they? No. As evidenced by this:

Michael Steele threatens to withhold money from the Republicans who voted for the stimulus package

Break from ideology and we’ll punish you. Well, Fuck you, Michael Steele. Hmmm…..maybe he’s actually an old white man in blackface.

The National debt had been crashing before the Reagan Revolution

That’s fiscal responsibility you can ruin a nation on…..

10 Republican senators who have been pursuing the same failed economic policies for 16 years

16 years ago, President Clinton began to balance the budget and pay off the deficit, and the Republicans unanimously voted against, saying it would be a drain on our economy (as if the interest on that deficit wouldn’t be). What followed was an era of prosperity. These 10 senators are still pursuing those same policies. Here’s the list:

Bennett (R-UT)
Bond (R-MO)
Cochran (R-MS)
Grassley (R-IA)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hatch (R-UT)
Hutchison (R-TX)
McCain (R-AZ)
McConnell (R-KY)
Shelby (D-AL, note: Shelby was supposedly a Democrat at the time. He switched parties shortly thereafter.)

A GOP Savant! Utah Governor accuses the GOP of gratuitous political griping

And that’s it.

Hey, if you guys happen to be musicians, you should check out my project, gearsecure.net, where we help musicians and music businesses recover stolen equipment. We are also on twitter

.

I can’t wait for the conservative rap (C-rap)

Michael Steele wants to give GOP a hip-hop makeover. And you thought Barack Obama was the end of political comedy.

What the F@&#!

Looking at censorship.

Republicans vs. Porn – A history

Yeah, free speech, abortion and porn, three things Republicans can’t figure out.

This explains what happened with the economy

Westboro Baptists protesting the Flight 3407 memorial, counterprotesters louder than the voice of God

Apparently sometimes gays choose to fly instead of walking to their destinations.

Sen. Richard Shelby still can’t get over Barack Obama’s citizenship

Dude, that was like, so last November. You lost. Get over it. And by the way, when does your seat come up for re-election? Yeah, get ready for your own personal loss.

“You can’t borrow your way to prosperity,” Shelby said. “We’re the largest debtor in the world. We’re stealing from our grandchildren.”

Funny, he didn’t seem to mind when Bush was doing it.

Another local resident asked Shelby if there was any truth to a rumor that appeared during the presidential campaign concerning Obama’s U.S. citizenship, or lack thereof. “Well his father was Kenyan and they said he was born in Hawaii, but I haven’t seen any birth certificate,” Shelby said. “You have to be born in America to be president.”

Should we maybe start examining Sen. Shelby’s citizenship, or maybe we should just doubt that he’s a citizen and skip all of that research.

GOP Governors considering turning down the stimulus Money.

Good, we need a control group in this experiment. That way we can prove once and for all that spending helps us rebound faster. Oh, wait, Republicans don’t believe in science, damn, they’ve got me there.

Bachmann alert! “We’re running out of rich people!”

Quite a lot of other great lines in this one. I’m not sure who’s more crazy, her or the C-Word Ann Coulter. They’d be great in a debate/cage match/mud wrestling event though.

Utah State Senator compares gays to Radical Islamic terrorists

Must be all the gay bombs.

Most of Diebold’s listed offices are Walmarts or nonexistent.

We should all write our reps and ask them to investigate Diebold.

Roland Burris Article coming soon.

Republicans almost unanimously vote against the largest tax cut in history

Funny how that works out. So much for standing up to principles.

And now they’re nationalizing banks

Lindsey Graham talks about the impending nationalization of the banking system.

An oral history of the Bush Administration

This is pretty fascinating. An insider look at everything that went on.

Obama is fearmongering….yeah….sure…..

The pot calls the kettle black

Alexandra Pelosi’s experiences documenting the McCain campaign

Yes, she’s the daughter of THAT Pelosi, but she did an honest documentary that you can see soon.

Check out this spin:

Republicans who voted against the stimulus bill are taking credit for points in it.

Bush no longer protecting Rove

So much for Loyalty

Eight people arrested…..

For smoking a little weed with Michael Phelps. No one arrested yet for 8 deaths and 575 illnesses due to tainted peanuts that had been knowingly sent out since 2007.

This is just way too cool…

5 soldiers who made Rambo look like pussies.

The C-Word is now defending white supremacists

The throw-away article of the day. Ann Coulter is a racist. Who woulda thunk? Here she is defending the Council of Conservative Citizens.
