Union thugs, pot smokers, sluts and pimps, white slavers, breakdancers, people whose names end in vowels or “z,” murdering illegal immigrant gangs, beware! You’re a Democrat and your voting rights are in danger of being suppressed.  The GOP’s claims that voter fraud is rampant and threatening our way of life are true! Florida’s governor has actually dug up an admitted criminal from the voting rolls! Democracy saved! Thank God for ghoulish, goosenecked Rick Scott, whose job it is to delegate to various bureaucratic state agencies the important task of stripping these liberal scumbags of their voting rights leaving Democracy in the hands of the people who invented it (white people).

The criminal in question is Bill Internicola –  a Brooklyn born and raised thug. Internicola admitted to the fraud, that his drivers license says he was born 2 years earlier than his birth records show. Thus, says Florida, Internicola may not even be a U.S. citizen! Internicola admitted to Florida officials that he lied about his age as a teenager, so as to get his driver’s license…..in the year 1919.

“What, me worry?”

Thomas Kincade died too soon! The official White House portrait of former President George W. Bush was unveiled today!

I’d assume that George W’s portrait would be on black velvet, depicting him holding a copy of “My Pet Goat” in one hand and a Big Gulp in the other. Or, in a flight suit with codpiece and bullhorn, and the World Trade Center burning in the background. Instead, we have this painting, a fucking masterpiece. The portraitist is a genius. It’s all right there, captured perfectly. I mean, it’s so well done it that the International Criminal Court could probably use it for wanted posters! The subtle brushstrokes expertly captures him staring off into space after something that even he doesn’t find particularly interesting. The look of a man who finds very little in the world to be particularly interesting. Ah, The banality of evil no crude symbolism here to disturb the effect of its mystery! All the banal thoughts and experiences of the world are exhibited here in this portrait. The subtle stroke of the thinned lips, set into the self-satisfied gaze of a man who just found the hidden weapons of mass destruction in the “corner” of the Oval Office. The Rosacea tinged tint on the cheeks and chin (liquor or “clearing the back 40”?), is perfect, not one false or morbid hue in any part or line, its brushstrokes as accurate as Acetaldehyde itself. His head, as limpid as a jellyfish, is posed weightlessly on neck, as if enforcing his uncommon powers of churlishness and befuddlement; and his squinting eyes, appear to observe absolute nothingness, a ghostly Croesus who gazes as sightlessly as a stone statue into an invisible world. In him resides an essence of kingship, a kind of beau idéal of monarchy. Has the essence of a monarch – in all its vapidity, brutality  and willful ignorance – ever been rendered so exquisitely in oil paint, manifesting such an insipid singularity, a vacant and enfeebled humanity? It is as if this man has seen the melancholy of things, and it has left him abstracted. There never was yet, so far as I can see or hear or read, an isolation of a spirit so utterly desolate..a heart so barren and a spirit the least perceptive of the work of God.

Putin himself looked deep into the painting’s eyes, and knew in his heart it was a good painting.

HELP

In one of the most ridiculous rants uttered in “English” since James Joyce drank a case of Guinness and crapped out Finnegan’s Wake, and more proof  that the ramblings of an insane person and ramblings of the mainstream Republicans are indistinguishable, I give you the GOP’s completely vetted Vice Presidential nominee for 2012.

The take away from this mess is that 25 years ago, Mema would have been tossing the “N” word around without hesitation, just another noun in her every day vocabulary. Today, even Mema knows not to go there. May not seem like a big thing, but I’d still rather have a conversation with her than Mitt Romney. At least she has enough self-awareness that by the end of the rant, she’s already kind of given up on the fact that she really is somehow superior. She wants you to know that the reality is that black people discriminate against white people and not the other way around. To illustrate this, she tells a story of how she went with her daughter to the races (horses? cars? dogs?) and a lady “who happened to be black” started arguing with her daughter, and the proprietors of the race track intervened and one of them -also a black woman – decided that the first black woman had started the argument and took the side of her daughter so they were not kicked out of the races.* By the time Mema finishes the anecdote, she realizes it doesn’t really support her premise. She tries to cover by reiterating her premise more loudly, but then kind of gives up and asks everybody to pray for her. I think she’ll come to the realization that she has it backwards. She doesn’t “love everybody” she “hates everybody” and should just leave it at that, bless her heart. Honestly, I can’t hate Mema. How can you hate a women that has come to realize that she’s so fucked up that at the end of the video she implores you to “pray for her”? l’ll pray for you, Mema! I’ll pray that you burn enough calories in that Cracker Barrel Rocker Scooter so that one day you’ll be able to get your ass through that front door and back into that house and whip up a spinach and egg white omelette, so that when you die of complications from diabetes, your kids don’t have to burn the house down to avoid the indignity of having her removed with a crane, with everyone watching. Eh, I ought not make fun of Mema. She isn’t the cause of the problem, she’s the result. Her leaders like her this way.  besides, you get the impression that if she were forced to explain her views at length, she’d probably end up talking herself into being a slightly bewildered Obama supporter.

* I‘ve spent a lot of time at the races. Not sure what happens “downstairs at the races”.

Handicapped Hipsters Rejoice!

Illinois Approves Mini Horses as Service Animals!

.

Finally, Democratic and Republican lawmakers agree on something, and something that I can really wrap my head around. Illinois lawmakers agree that people with disabilities ought to be able to use tiny horses in the same ways they use guide dogs. State Sen. Dave Koehler – a Democrat who added the measure to a House bill on trained service animals – dismissed any notion that we could soon face a ridiculously cute boondoggle of armies of little horses stampeding through malls, campuses and apple stores: [click to continue…]

FROM THE FILES OF: Greene County, Virginia, GOP division. March newsletter article: “Rallying Against the Living Wage,” or this one: “Is Barack Hussein Obama America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President?” And this very important article: “Political Action Against Islamic Infiltration”.

And via Right Wing Watch, this daring letter from the editor of the Greene County GOP newsletter:

“The ultimate task for the people is to remain vigilant and aware ~ that the government, their government is out of control, and this moment, this opportunity, must not be forsaken, must not escape us, for we shall not have any coarse [sic] but armed revolution should we fail with the power of the vote in November ~ This Republic cannot survive for 4 more years underneath this political socialist ideologue.”

“We have before us a challenge to remove an ideologue unlike anything world history has ever witnessed or recognized. An individual who has come to power within a Nation which yields it’s strength [sic] over the entire world. An elected leader who shuns biblical praise, handicaps economic ability, disrespects the honor of earned military might. In the coming days and weeks ~ we the people must come to grasp as a common force, our very soul’s [sic], that our future as a sovereign nation is indeed at risk.

“The meeting will be held at the Madison Presbyterian Church, 1236 Fishback Road, Rt. 722 at the north traffic light. Everyone is invited to attend this informative meeting. The club will be serving corned beef and cabbage, boiled potatoes, carrots, Jell-O salads, and other types of salads and dessert. Dinner: $7”.  [click to continue…]

The would-be suicide bomber dispatched by the Yemen branch of Al Qaeda last month to blow up a United States-bound airliner was actually an intelligence agent for Saudi Arabia who infiltrated the terrorist group and volunteered for the suicide mission, American and foreign officials said Tuesday.  [click to continue…]
