When is a pig not a pig? When it’s swine flu spreading from person to person who have not been fooling with pigs. Of course Michele Bachman is blaming democrats  because she says the first swine flu outbreak was on Jimmy Carter’s watch, apparently the airhead does not know that [...]

When Cheney comes out of hiding – he has something to hide

Last night, I heard from a retired Colonel that Dick Cheney is scared, and that’s why he come out of his cave to defend himself. There is no “the buck stops here” for Dick Cheney. Now he’s so anxious, the chicken-shit VP is sending his daughter Liz out to the cable [...]

“violence for semi-peace” not a good Iraq strategy

As 2009 opened, the war in Iraq had entered a phase the Brookings Institution  described as “a kind of violent semi-peace.” That the phrase was promptly denounced as Orwellian underscored how deeply controversial the conflict remains…   AP Steven Lee Miller April 16, 2009
66 killed in Iraq today in suicide bombings, but it [...]

FOX news indoctrination works in less than 100 days!

Suddenly yesterday I realized how effective the FOX news channel is. I usually dismiss them as a big, smelly fart that lingers, but I was having an email chat with a conservative friend, one who is pretty open minded and we spoke of the Tea-baggers. She dropped the bomb, “Obama IS a socialist”, she [...]

Waterboard Cheney and see if he “outted” Valerie Plame

Okay, Cheney doesn’t like that Obama might get to the bottom of who really authorized torture, well how about this – let’s waterboard Cheney and see if he finally caves in about  outing Valerie Plame and letting Scooter take the fall!  Maybe if he goes under a few times we can find out who really [...]

Sarah Palin’s choice for Attorney General has some Taliban ‘tawkin’ points

SAY WHAT ?  WHOSE HE GONNA RAPE??? Another case where Sarah does not know her ass from a hole in the ground – she’s just Sarah, the pro-life, (except wildlife) lovin’ grannie to kids that don’t seem to practice abstinence.
Last night the pro-Sarah groupies came out in Indiana to hear Sarah say “u betcha” [...]

teabaggin’ day for Dick Armey and the conservatives

Funny that the conservatives want to mark their protest by teabagging. That just makes me laugh out loud because of the connotation. And as David Shuster of MSNBC remarked the other day, (to paraphrase),  “if the conservatives are going to tea bag, they need a Dick [...]

Chocolate eggs for earthquake victims – BARF

“Pope Benedict also sent a message through his secretary urging survivors not to give up hope. “Only solidarity will allow us to overcome this painful trial,” said Benedict… The pontiff also sent thousands of chocolate Easter eggs to the child survivors living with their parents in the tent city outside of town.”
Okay, figure this out, [...]

Gays God Guns Sarah Palin with a dash of Eminem

Eminem lyrics: We Made You
” Man I swear them other guys you give em an inch
and they take a mile, they got more style than Slim”
Seems to me, Eminem’s new song, We Made you is
no different in exaggeration or spectacle than fear mongering National Organization For Marriage’s new anti-gay, same sex marriage commercial,  “Gathering [...]

When will genocide be taken seriously?

We are too complacent – Last night I watched Swimming in Auschwitz, a documentary based on 6 survivors accounts of their time spent at the concentration camp and their liberation. And it made me think of the native people in Darfur and the similarities of tragedy because of [...]
