Okay God, Give Me the Ratio Will Ya?

What’s wrong with the type of men that Willard “The Stench” hangs with, is that they are experts at “locker room” talk when nobody is around. You know what I mean. They are the one’s who are so politically correct in public, except when they let it slip that they are quite different with the “boys.”

You can almost hear the snickering about the “masses” that goes on in the country club over lunch as they compare the latest vacation spot in Europe and prattle about the newest investment scheme to “harvest” some profits at low risk.

John Bolton is one of the “boys” to be sure, and a snarly nasty example of neo-con war hawking manliness. You can almost hear the laughter that permeates his macho speech. These are the anti-women, anti-gay, anti-minority men who surround Willard and give him his economic and foreign policy policies. Today Bolton called the President’s Libyan policy as “limp-wristed.” How nice of him to insult a whole segment of America unnecessarily, all to make his point that the President doesn’t live in the bomb- first league with him.

A Manhattan storage company is having some fun with advertising boards. Apparently he’s been at it for some time.

The one about Michele “crazy eyes”  Bachmann is the best. We hear that MB is having herself some time in her re-election campaign. We can only hope that the people of Minnesota have finally come to their senses and discovered that she is insane.

But we doubt it.

We do hope though. Hope springs eternal among people my age.

What’s going on in Republican circles these days? I mean once you ignore the silliness of Krauthammer, Dick Morris, Hannity, and the usual bilge dumpers. The question is “who decided to nominate this guy?” Yep the blame game is already starting up and it promises to be a doozy, once the election is finished and Willard starts ejaculating into the conversation how it wasn’t his fault. Hint: just remember what the other choices were (Huntsman excepted).

Every day, if you read enough stuff in the old Google reader, you come upon the stupidest jerk on the planet, for the day. Each day, a new one. I can only figure that God has some formula for stupid. As a joke factor he slides us an idiot to keep the game interesting. Just what is the ratio?

Today the idiot meter went off and nearly woke up the house when I found out that there is a guy who is a mayor in Maine who has a lot of Somalian immigrants. Now said idiot says they have to stop living their own culture, and must leave it at the door, and adopt ours. Whatever that means.

His name is Bob McDonald and he ei-ei-ohed off some farm where he was probably sleeping with the pigs (as in sleeping, not that other thing–you potty brain!). Anyway, he is just another one of your colorful clowns who has managed to somehow pull the wool over his community who confoundedly elected him. My dog is smarter.

McDonald is a Republican. He ran against a dead guy. He only managed to win by 7 votes. Sigh. I’m signing up for the first interplanetary shuttle to NewStar when the begin the immigration. I sure hope I don’t have to leave my culture at the door.

Nate Silver says that the convention bump of Obama did stall as predicted. But when you make God happy, good things happen! The infamous 47% story has got it moving upward again. Or, as we say, gee Mitt, you DID build that!

This is why the Religious Right falls on deaf ears among rational people: Case in point. One pastor of a mega church in Indiana, Pastor Jack Schapp, has just pled guilty to having a sexual affair with a teen girl. The pastor had been counseling the girl, and was the author of a book for teen girls and dating. His advice? Keep your weight own. It’s not that there aren’t bad people in and out of religion, but it’s always the vocal “moralists” who are doing the most immoral things. They give all believers such a bad name. It’s a shame. They need to shut the pie hole.

A close runner-up for idiot of the day is our favorite Todd Akin, remember the dude and his “legitimate rape” claims? Well Todd is one stupid man. After debating Senator Claire McCaskill, he called her “not at all ladylike like she was in 20o6.” Todd, shut your pie hole.

Once upon a time, Akin was supposed to finish off the Democrats and turn the Senate into a GOP love land. Well, that is not likely to happen now, and where once (was it so short a time ago?) the GOP was vilifying Akin for his anti-woman remarks, now they are sending him money again, because you know when it comes down to it, women take second place to the chance to get that seat.

There are no principles in the GOP any more are there?

Picking the Dust Bunnies Out of My Synapses

14th Amendment, immigration, Kyl, Lindsay Graham, polls, Sarah Palin, the 60's left movement

Come on in. It’s me. And this is What’s Up? I just figured I was being awfully lazy in not coming up with some slick little title that would leave you scratching your haunches, err, neck, I mean head, and coming to see what cockamamie junk I was spewing today.

Well, I did some investigation (a word not in the GOP lexicon I can assure ya) about the 14th amendment.

It seems that our GOP infantiles haven’t read the Constitution a goodly lot, nor have the media mavens either. The headlines keep reading that various sorts such as Kyl of Arizona and Lindsay (I can’t get the brown off my nose from sticking it up McCain’s behind) Graham, are pushing to repeal the 14th amendment.

This is surely poppycock. Two things come to mind, if that were in fact true. One is that the GOP is more bat-shit imbecilic than is humanly imaginable. The second is that not a one of them has read the document in question or the amendment. The third is, oh I said only two.

There are four sections to the amendment. Sections 2,3, and 4 deal with matters regarding representation, and elective federal office as it pertains to those who were in active rebellion during the civil war. I’m thinking, if read the GOPer’s would not be interested in those sections, if in fact they could understand what they said.

No, they seem primarily interested in section 1:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

If indeed the wingettes wanted to repeal the entire thing, then we would be in deep cow poo. But again, I don’t think they do. Doing so would in fact abrogate the application of all the amendments to the states and your state could then legislate that the only religion allowed in Texas was the Baptist church.

Come to think of it, perhaps they do have that in mind.

You would not be safe in regards your 4th, 5th, or 6th amendment rights. States could independently ban handguns! Oh, see? I’m sure they don’t mean that!

Actually, the intellectually challenged only want to repeal the first sentence of the section. Just so’s they can send brown babies to countries in which they have never been. And hopefully, their parents with them. This is cuz Lindsay (still wiping the brown away)Graham says that the Mexicans are comin’ cross the border to “drop” babies, thereby ensuring their children are citizens.

This is of course raising all sorts of trouble, mostly imagined. Most all of this stuff is imagined. All the crime statistics for the last three years show down trends in all of Arizona for instance, center of the present showdown. Even in the border towns, crime has being going down for three consecutive years.

So we all know what this is all about. It’s about voting, and worries on the Rightie that all those brown skins will be voting like blue bloods and turning their red state into a robin’s egg shade of blue. Yep. People don’t count, but maintaining control does.

Except that if these walking morons got their way, everyone would be required to prove their citizenship, meaning providing the birth certificates of both their parents. Imagine how much dough that might run?

I’m thinking to send the GOP a big box of Nancy Drew novels and tell them to go vacation at the beach and leave the thinking to people with brains.

On that note, I was glad to hear this morning that recent polling suggests that women who are college educated (meaning educated) really don’t like the Sarah (that woman is an idiot) Palinator. I’m on the right side of that equation. Whew!

And I am constrained to say that just because you write a great book that should be read by nearly everyone, Tim O’Brien, you do not have the right to put in chit that I cannot get out of my head. And that makes me wanna cry. I will say no more than it has to do with a baby water buffalo, and it makes me clutch my own pets to my heart and kiss the livin’ dickens out of ’em.

And, basically I don’t have an opinion (yet) on the WikiLeaks thing. I really don’t. Shocking isn’t it?

I still have opinions on a few hundred thousand other things, so not to worry.

And just so you know that this is truly “What’s Up?” do take a look at a fabulous post by Chris Dashiell at Black Magpie Theory, “What Happened (After ’68). A truly excellent analysis. Having lived through it, I know it’s accurate.

Sometimes I think, when I’m daydreaming, that the funnest head trip would be to slip into the brain case of a creationist, young earther. I mean what psychedelic goings on must be in there. I wonder, do they actually even know that 2 + 2 = 4? Do they know their right hand from their left? Do they know there are  Crayola color boxes with more than 8 colors? Do they know that you can walk and chew gum at the same time? Do they know where they are when they wake up? Do they think that the voice in their head is  Satan? I wonder, and then I find something important to think about.

You go think about something good yourself. It’s what’s UP today.
