She’s Baaaaaaccckkkk! Indeed, caught in a time warp, the Goodie two-shoes Sherry has been stifled, and Evil Snark, arguably the “real” thing is back!
Know ya been missin’ all the satirical madness that we so like to shovel to ya!
Okay, it was MINUS eighteen freakin’ degrees this morning and I’m grouchy.
I been a preparing for this event for a week, and though we survived it with no frosted fingers or nose, and the water still running, I’m tired of carrying a week’s worth of clothes on my back all day. It’s leftovers today, and I’m not lifting much more than a finger ’bout anything else.
I’ve spent some free time on The Blaze. It is a right-wing rag, supposedly tied to Beck, but I’ve not seen a word uttered by him there. The articles, if you can call them that, are trite, uninformative, selective in their reporting, and otherwise dull. But the comments, oh the comments are just precious. That is, if you are looking to see what the lowest 1% of the IQ in America is thinking. Again if you can call it thinking.
I learned something about the black experience. After Jesse Jackson spoke about the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was still in part unfulfilled, I learned that I had it all wrong about MLK. It turns out he was not against the Vietnam war, not in favor of a redistribution of wealth in America, and a whole lot of other progressive things. No. I learned the extreme RIGHT wonkettes “revere” the man because:
MLK was for EQUAL justice – not social justice!
and this:
Jessie Jackson hijacked the dream, kidnapped the dream, raped and murdered and buried the Dream in an unmarked grave decades ago. It’s people like Glenn Beck and the Tea Party that are resurrecting the dream. Jesse, pucker up and kiss ass you race baiting freedom hater.
and this:
The National African-American Communist Party (NAACP) – is more of the problem than solution for the 13% black community. They just perpetuate the woo is me mentality and tell the blacks that in fact they ares second class citizens and deserve the white handouts! – They should be thankful there was slavery and their ancestors were brought to America. Anytime they want to go back to their heritage country we will donate the travel expense.
And let’s not leave out the history lesson:
If it was not for the Founding of the United States of the Americas slavery would still be the labor of choice in whatever Empire would have come to power in today’s world.
What I have concluded, is that MLK was a wonderful person, but Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, and all African-Americans who don’t “know their place” are vile awful creatures. That doesn’t make these Right-wingers racists. Naw, they just are tellin’ it like it is.
My favorite comment so far is this one, from the never-ending defense of sista Sarah:
Palin is like the statue of liberty with a torch that will absorb all the evils of the progressive left – and stands taller for it.
Ah, yes, I can see it in my mind. Can’t you? The little granny glasses perched upon the statutes nose? A rifle slung across her back? The book binding with the words: Dominationist Christianity: NOW. Who wouldn’t love that!

And then there is Michele Bachmann, claiming that, not to worry. Repeal of the Health Care Act won’t mean anything bad for those with pre-existing conditions. Why no, the “free market place” has handled it in the past, and will in the future, just fine. Yes, we know how they did it in the past. We can imagine how they will in the future, crazy woman. (Crazy eyes trails Obama in Iowa in straw polling by 18 big ones, in case you were concerned.)
***
Don’t forget that Michelle Obama is in the news again. The Crazies are pointing out that she is responsible for the slight uptick in pedestrians getting hit by cars. All that crap about eating better and getting more exercise has got people walking, and thus wandering into cars all over America. Lord, can’t that woman concentrate on flower arrangements or something?
***
Don’t know if ya heard. But Joey (I’m pissed) Lieberman had a debate with Arianna Huffington on Morning Joe the other day. Topic: WMD’s in Iraq. Lieberman continued to suggest that there was “good reason” to believe they were there. He cited the Duelfer report as support. When Huffington called him out on it and said that it did not support his contention, Lieberman shot back: “I don’t think you’ve read it, sweetheart.” Okay Joe, another good reason why saying goodbye is such a good feeling for us all.
***
Political Irony has a nice list of political jokes. They are worth linking up, but this one was reported everywhere, and is classic:
“I want you teabaggers out there to understand one thing: while you idolize the Founding Fathers and dress up like them, and smell like them, I think it’s pretty clear that the Founding Fathers would have hated your guts. And what’s more, you would’ve hated them. They were everything you despise. They studied science, read Plato, hung out in Paris, and thought the Bible was mostly bullsh*t.” – Bill Maher
***
Rush Limbaugh appears to be winning the race between Beck, Palin and himself, to of utter insignificance in the world. Even the right (you are sitting down I hope?) is critical of the tubbo’s recent mockery of the Chinese President, Hu. Mo has the story and links.

Okay, enough for today. I feel much better. See ya tomorrow if we don’t get frozen into icicles or ‘sumpin’.

I’m having dinner guests tonight and I’m very concerned that the temps on the lanai may go below 68 – don’t know what I’ll do if that happens!

CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 also a great site for Truths about Fox/Beck/other falsehoods.
Moe, why don’t you visit Sherry and Contrarian for a few days. Reality opposite of ideal.
How boring life would be without the crazies of the Rightist Propagandists/liars/haters of Honesty.
Tony – actually, if she keeps describing the beauty of the snow outside and the cozy inside and the sweet crisp smell of winter air on a walk in the woods, she may indeed find me knocking at her door on a cold January day – just to gaze again on a snow covered field under a full moon. I do miss it.
Now, excuse me, I have to go clean the pool. (Heh.)
Ya just had to do that bit about the pool didn’t ya? you are an evil woman MO!
It’s disheartening to see people rewriting history to suit their own politics, but sadly, it’s as old as recorded history itself.
The problem, Ahab, is when too many Believe False History, like Hitler’s, Glenn Beck’s, Rupert Murdock’s, Fox’s, Palin’s TARGETTING ‘Liberal Democrats (‘Marxists/ ‘socialists’). Several Teabagger Candidates threatened Violence, even overthrow of the ‘liberal/socialist’ government.
Thet should be given a Mental Health Test, to Qualify to Be a candidate. Almost no “Teabaggers’ would have passed.
LOL Tony, So true. But unfortunately I don’t think we can ever get them to a shrink.
Yes it is Ahab, but amazingly, they accuse us of “rewriting” it. Or I guess I should say, falsely writing it in the first place. People remain deluded because it suits them unfortunately.
Our local paper prints a column of voicemails that people call in – somthing like “Community Shout-Outs” – people commenting on everythng from local politics to national issues. This is supposedly an educated, mostly white, middle to upper middle class suburb – but you wouldn’t know it from the comments – at least you wouldn’t know the “educated” part….sigh. It’s very disconcerting to me, the degree of ignorance and the ability to promote out right falsehoods as truths.
I must always remember that those who tend to call in are usually the fringe elements. They represent a tiny minority, I believe and HOPE! But education being what it is, I’m not surprised that so many are unaware of the truth and fall victim to the easy Fox fix.
When I win the lottery, the first two things on my to do list:
1. Give Sherry Peyton all the money she needs to have her nationally syndicated radio or TV show, where the truth can finally be told.
2. Pay off the Vatican, and put a smart woman with balls(emotional balls are acceptable) in charge of the RCC (I know… this would have to be big lottery win).
Sorry it’s so cold there. I’ll send you a picture of my cozy little fireplace.
RE #1 Terri: I say amen – to both.
Whoops – I meant Jerry!
Jerry,
(1) Sherry LOT Funnier, Vastly greater Personality than Anderson Cooper, or Any Tv Name.
(2) Complain to Jesus about picking Only Men Apostles; Very historic Pope John Paul II the Great said 17 years ago he does not have the Authority (From Christ) to Ordain women priests.
(3) The Vatican can not be Bought, or forced buy Any Human source.
(3) The RCC is TOTALLY Non-Profit; Opposite of any business; operates ideal attitude. That;’s why so many, esp Media, Try Falswelly to complain (Falselly) about it.
(4) The Largest School System in the World is by the RCC; and operates on ABILITY TO PAY TUITION: fREE TO THE pOOREST.
(5) The RCC is The Biggest Charity in thew World, By Massive amounts.
(6) The RCC has the Tiniest ‘overhead’: Personell costs – of Any large Organization in the world. No one Rich in Catholic Clergy, unless from Own Prior riches.
(7) and Cathpolic Health Care, Hospitals are The Mst Efficient in the Nation. Hillary Clinton modeled her National Health Care on the Catholic system.
(8) Jerry, Real Fireplaces are Forbidden by Law now: Smoke polution prohibited.
Sherry, ever notice that Moe and I start a Flood of Comments on your blogs?
No payback necessary, because we like your “Free” price to subscribe. Even I can aford.
You have Phony NG fireplace, or ‘quaker/Amish ‘hand-built’ electric.
Indeed Tony you do jazz up the comments! Mo is just being mean! We have a wood stove, so we pollute. But there is a lot of air in Iowa, so it works out okay.
Tony, we know you defend the RCC against all comers, but we are all Catholics, you I and Jerry. We just have different points of view.
Lol Jerry, now that might be fun to do. But there are many liberal-progressive voices out there.
As to the Vatican thing, I suspect in time it will change but I don’t expect it in my lifetime frankly. The Vatican could certainly stand a breath of fresh air. It got that with Vatican II but sadly, a good deal has been undone.
Women can never be mean, or ‘ugly’, or evil.
They’re just women!
Amen to that Tony. Men are just men too! lol
Old fashioned Real fireplaces are of course Legal in Iowa. Iowa is all open air. And voters still sometimes rule.
My Comments about phony fireplaces was meant for Jerry.
Moe, you’re Quite a character!
I am usually longing for sensible data on this subject. It are often laborious to seek out generally. Thanks!. i’ll check back on your web site from time to time for additional data.
very good. We are glad to have you!
