Hey Religious Right: You Lost, Deal With It!


A 6 week old baby could sum up the following best: “goo goo, ga ga”

CNN’s Rick Sanchez reported on a church marquee that reads “America we have a Muslim president. This is a sin against the Lord.” Mark Holick is pastor of The Spirit One Christian Center in Wichita, Kansas where the sign is being displayed.  Read details here on Rawstory.com

And then there’s this message following the Obama Victory from James Dobson and Focus on the Family(scroll down for a previous post on these self righteous fundy goofballs) sent out to their members and supporters:

Dear Friend,

The spirit of Winston Churchill was alive and well on Tuesday night at Focus on the Family Action headquarters.

You may recall that in the most desperate days of World War II – when Great Britain was  being pounded daily by Hitler’s Luftwaffe – that Winston Churchill called on his countrymen not to despair from danger but to rise to the challenge.

Translation:  It’s not fair, it’s not fair. Waaahhh, it’s not fair.  I want everybody to think the way I do.  Waaahhh, this is a Christian nation.  I’m going hold my breath until this country becomes a theocracy.  You’re goin’ to hell when you die, you’re goin’ to hell when you, nyahh, nyahh, nyahh, nyahh, nyahh.

Mommy!  Help me mommy.  The liberals beat me up and made me skim my knee.  Wahhhh, wahhh.


All Good Things Must Come to An End


We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when,
But I know we’ll meet again, some sunny day.
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
‘Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

GOP Wants Palin’s Wardrobe Back


The LA Times reports — Reporting from Phoenix — Sarah Palin left the national stage Wednesday, but the controversy over her role on the ticket flared as aides to John McCain disclosed new details about her expensive wardrobe purchases and revealed that a Republican Party lawyer would be dispatched to Alaska to inventory and retrieve the clothes still in her possession.  FULL STORY
The lawyer apparently couldn’t retrieve her clothes, so a call was made to State Republican Headquarters in New Jersey, where officials there immediately dispatched a “special envoy” to Alaksa to deal with the problem.  At last report, the issue is still unresolved:

Greatest Schadenfreude Moment Ever


Normally, I think schadenfreude (taking pleasure in the misfortune of others) is not a good thing to indulge in.  Makes you weak — you want to feel good about yourself?  Buckle up, work hard and excel.   Don’t get your jollies off other people’s bad luck, no matter how bad you perceive them to be.   But — In the case of Tuesday’s presidential election, I’m willing to make an exception.

Yes, I am enjoying the fact that every racist jerk is PO’d about the election of Barack Obama.  Yes, I am enjoying the fact that all those horrible, hated filled people who showed up at John and Sarah’s campaign rallies, shouting out such horrible things, are now bitterly disappointed.  Yes, I am glad that the far right wing media, who have bloviated for years about the character weaknesses of liberals, are now also bitterly disappointed.  You all really believed the concept of a permanent republican majority and that liberals could be crushed into the ground, didn’t you?  Well, it’s not happening.

Go ahead and whine about the liberal media not exposing the “full truth” about Barack Obama and how we who supported him were led around like obedient sheep.  Fact is Reverend Wright, William Ayers and all the other anti-Obama trash talk got plenty of coverage.  Fact is most everybody knew about it and most people thought it was stupid and didn’t care.


America in 2012 if Obama is Elected


This is just nuts - I mean extreme wacko nuts.  James Dobson(along with his fellow Focus on the Family fear mongers) has not only outdone himself this time, he’s outdone Pat Robertson, the late Jerry Falwell and every other extreme Christian right huckster that has come down the pike in recent years:

Mr. Plumber Goes to Washington?


Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher has expressed interest in channeling  his newfound fame into a congressional run against Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur in 2010, he told Fox News on Saturday.

“Politics is a big part of my life, Wurzelbacher told the network’s Neil Cavuto. “I love how American government works.”

Joe's Grandmother, Josephine the Plumber, now retired and living in Boca Raton, Florida, could not be reached for comment.

Smalltown Barber Marked with “M” by Angry McCain Supporter


Following a hoax by a McCain campaigner that a tall black man carved a B into her cheek(a story advanced by McCain’s PA communications director before all the facts were known), an active campaign volunteer for Barack Obama living in a small town in North Carolina now told the local sheriff’s department that last night, while closing up his shop, an apparently violent, enraged McCain supporter dragged him to the ground and carved a giant M in his cheek.  The local sheriff’s department is looking into this and has not yet determined if it is also a hoax or if it really happened.

Who needs caffeine for stimulation in the morning when there’s articles like this to read.

Commondreams.org has long been a favorite of mine.  I think the best stories I read are the ones that get my blood boiling.  Only the truly apathetic and right wing denialists will not see red here.  Please read this and send a link to your friends and ask them to read it:

Mob Mentality


Again, I must ask: even if McCain wins - does he lose?  Their “traveling lynch mob”(as one writer put it) this past week has taken American politics in the modern day to a new low.  If he wins, he will face incredible resentment from the other side — so will there be any notable accomplishments?  It’s also shown us just how many truly creepy people there are in America.  I personally think a McCain/Palin victory will be viewed by history as the beginning of a secessionist movement in this country, as the red and the blue journey toward one gigantic, inevitable split.  But that’s just me talking, of course.


VP Debate


(this blog is practically turning into an anti-Sarah Palin blog as of late, but this is comedy material that writes itself)

One thought after watching Joe Biden mop the floor with Talking Point Sarah - if Obama/Biden win, after her term of office as Governor of Alaska ends, I predict she will accept one of several offers to host some kind of daytime tv talk show, some kind of Regis and Kelly type thing(”later on today’s show, we show ya how some neat tricks for da holidays, like how ta make some really nifty reindeer potholers”).

And oh yes, one other thing — agghhh - stop saying you’re a maverick.  You and McCain are not mavericks.  You don’t own the word and the way you say it is sickening.  Now go back to your hotel room and read your Best of “Love Is” Comic Strip Book.
