The Speech Glenn Beck Meant to Give

Alternate Brain:

"I have a dream that the Yalie son of a Houston oil magnate can walk hand in hand with the daughter of a Wall Street hedge fund operator on the white sands of Southampton while evading inheritance taxes..."

Heh.

We are still here.....this is just all we have today.....but really, doesn't this just toon about say it all about the sheer naivety of many of the sub-humanoid carbon based life forms infesting this planet?
Playing right into the best interests of our great corporatocracy.
Real nice activism, asstwits.
Tools.

Waddya YOU think?
And say high to the crankpot known as
maru while your at it.

We're Winning!

As we keep digging.

Despite the presence of almost 150,000 foreign troops, violence across Afghanistan is at its worst since the Taliban were ousted by U.S.-backed Afghan forces in late 2001

Fun fact: There are more Americans in Afghanistan than there were at Beckapaloooza.

Smaller Government!!

It looks like it's time to cut taxes for the rich again, that will solve this small problem.

SAN DIEGO — Fire departments around the nation are cutting jobs, closing firehouses and increasingly resorting to “rolling brownouts” in which they shut different fire companies on different days as the economic downturn forces many cities and towns to make deep cuts that are slowing their responses to fires and other emergencies.

Philadelphia began rolling brownouts this month, joining cities from Baltimore to Sacramento that now shut some units every day. San Jose, Calif., laid off 49 firefighters last month. And Lawrence, Mass., north of Boston, has laid off firefighters and shut down half of its six firehouses, forcing the city to rely on help from neighboring departments each time a fire goes to a second alarm

We can't afford protection against fires, but by God we can spend billions to bail out the "free market" banksters and that my friends is what really, really counts. God bless America, and the Teabagger party for which it stands.

Bending Over

Another episode of what Digby said

The bottom line is this: the Democrats are afraid of the Republicans. They – all of them,
from Obama on down – are afraid of Rush Limbaugh and Michele Bachmann and you name it.
You hear Democratic operatives talk strategy, and there's always a "logical" reason why this or
that aggressive attack might not work. But it's nothing to do with logic. They're just afraid.
Bat-Shit Bachmann, who wants the government out of everything, is a good case in point.
It's been revealed that her family farm has received $250,000 in federal subsidies. If she
were a Democrat, the Republicans would make sure the entire country knew it.

But the Democrats won't do things like that. If they had for the past 20 months, Americans
would be talking about a president who, all things considered, is doing his best against
quasi-insane and hypocritical opposition. But they're telling each other a different story.
And the Democrats will go on not learning the lesson of the price of their fear."

Got Frustration?

Krugman predicts the near future:

I'm finding it hard to read about politics these days. I still don't think people in the administration understand the magnitude of the catastrophe their excessive caution has created. I keep waiting for Obama to do something, something, to shake things up; but it never seems to happen." And maybe he really does believe that the administration doesn't grasp that they are destroying America's economy and it's chances of recovery, but I think he may be forgetting that all his friends are from the Chicago school, and they think that disaster would be a good thing. But he says, the important thing is that all signs are that the next few years will be a combination of economic stagnation and political witch-hunt. This is going to be almost inconceivably ugly.

Sigh.....I hear that.

The Job Creators Bullshit

If the George W. Bush tax cuts for rich people are working, why the fucking fuck have we been LOSING jobs since the cuts have been in effect and why is our economy still tanking? One would think that our country could use the extra $36 BILLION we'd get from letting the tax cuts expire.
Poor people don't provide jobs is a crock of corn infested semi solid shit. If people can't afford to buy things, then things aren't being sold, ergo no need to make more things, ergo no jobs.
It's not a difficult concept to grasp, for Christsake.

One more thing to chew on: If giving money to the poor is socialism, why does it not count when you're giving it to the rich? Or the Banksters.

Aaaarrrrrghghghgh!!!!!

It's all They Have

They obstruct when in the minority, and when they have a majority? Investigate!

Republicans are planning a wave of committee investigations targeting the White House and Democratic allies if they win back the majority.

Everything from the microscopic — the New Black Panther party — to the massive –- think bailouts — is on the GOP to-do list, according to a half-dozen Republican aides interviewed by POLITICO.

Here we go again. Like lying about a blowjob is the end of the republic.
Allah help us all.

The Modern Crusade Continues

The first step is admitting you have a problem .

If it's not a drunken man allegedly stabbing a cabbie because he's Muslim, then it's a drunken man entering a Queens mosque and urinating on its prayer rugs. Last night, at the Al-Iman Mosque on Steinway Street, an apparently intoxicated man stormed in and "shouted anti-Muslim slurs as he urinated on prayer rugs," the Post reports. Naturally, that interrupted the evening prayers.
According to witnesses, Omar Rivera was shouting slurs and calling the worshippers "terrorists." One told the Post, "He stuck up his middle finger and cursed at everyone... No one can pray now because the rugs are completely soiled. It was disgusting... He calls us terrorists, yet he comes into our mosque and terrorizes other people... This is a true hate crime."

Yeah, why do they insist on having mosques near where drunk people might want to piss. I mean, sure, they have a right to pray, but do they really have to get in the way like that? Just another episode of winning hearts and minds.
They hate us for our freedoms.......

Ladies and Gentlemen.......

We proudly introduce: The Glen Beck Conspiracy Generator!

Call today, don't delay, order now, operators are standing by!

This will surely help us in the fight against religious extremists

This sickening, hateful distraction drummed up by the Corporatocracy induced tools known as Reich-Wingnuts should be happy now:

The New York Police Department has confirmed to TPM that a cab driver in Manhattan was allegedly stabbed by a passenger who asked if the cabbie was Muslim, and says the incident is being treated as a hate crime. The suspect has been charged with attempted murder and other crimes.

With the bigotry and hatred continuously pouring out of Fox News, right wing websites, and talk radio, it was only a matter of time. And all of the bigoted, flag waving, hypocritical Reich-Wingnuts should be charged as accessories.
Is there anyway we can de-fuck this situation, outside of fire-bombing Fox News and creating charity rehab centers for the ignorant?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Like Christians aren't extremists too.

And the Horse's Ass you Rode in on

Alan Simpson is a co-chair on the deficit commission, which is supposedly trying to save Social Security. Obama needs to fire his privileged ass NOW!

Alan Simpson believes that Social Security is "like a milk cow with 310 million tits," according to an email he sent to the executive director of National Older Women's League Tuesday morning. Simpson co-chairs the deficit commission, which is considering various proposals to cut Social Security benefits.

What is wrong with these ASSholes? Why attack Social Security?
There should be a rider on any bill attempting to repeal Social Security that would affect the cancellation of congressional retirement plans.
Lift the cap on the payroll tax......problem solved.
My work here is done.

Nice Recovery

Happy days are here again and the economy is reb... oopsi!.

If California's unemployed residents banded together and formed a city, it would be the fifth-largest place in America, just behind Houston but ahead of Phoenix.

Middle class? We don't need no stinking middle class.

Oh the Whore Horror!

OUTRAGE OVER PLANS TO BUILD LIBRARY NEXT TO SARAH PALIN

PLANS to build a state-of-the-art library next to Republican catastrophe Sarah Palin are causing outrage across mainstream America.
Almost 40% of Americans still support the idea of books. Campaigners have described the project as insensitive and a deliberate act of provocation by people with brains.

You betcha!

Seriously?

Steve Benen:

George W. Bush presided over two recessions, two wars, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina -- but he still managed to take more time off than any president in modern history. While Bush was in the White House, he tended not to work too hard -- he was known for scheduling plenty of time for exercise during the day, and liked to knock off early -- but Bush also spent time away from the White House with a frequency unseen in generations, taking more and longer breaks than any of his 20th-century predecessors.
Before 2000, the president with the most vacation time in the modern era was Reagan. Bush not only beat Reagan's record, he did so with 17 months to spare. Spanning his two terms, Bush spent 487 days at Camp David, and 490 days at a ranch in Crawford. That's a total of 977 days -- about a third of his overall presidency.
And Republicans are going after Obama's down time? Seriously?

No doubt this will be a two-pronged attack: First they will criticize Obama for taking a vacation, and then they will criticize him for taking it in Massachusetts, which isn't even part of the "real" America.
For Allah's sake, Obama can't take his morning constitutional without GOP criticism.. "Obama's bowel movements have too much fiber! Or not enough.
Whatfucking ever, asstards. IOKIYAR!!!
