The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

And I Quote

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything.
I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency.
This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

Liars and Fools

Liars and Fools for the day include:

Faux's Swill O'Really wants cops to provide special hassles for blacks and Hispanics
Like that isn't Standard Operating Procedure as it is.

Faux's Brick claims struggling states are in danger of "losing their sovereignty" because federal gov't will "nationalize" them
My, my, my, La-La Land is getting loopier and loopier, isn't it?

Faux's Handjob defies "the phony science of global warming"
Well, a phony does not recognize the real thing, so this isn't news, now is it?

Dimbulb claims Obama "made the case for killing babies born alive and giving legal protection to the doctors that did it"
Only in Lush's fetid fantasies, only in his feted, putrid fantasies.

Dimbulb: "Were I a terrorist, I would have been prompted to give Obama's speech a standing ovation today"
Oh, but Lush you ARE a TERRORIST so we're waiting for the standing ovation! Hurry up, Chop, Chop!

Disney's Savage says "all of these people at MSNBC" would have "worked for Hitler putting Jews into the death camp"
Damned, Nazi still trying to deflect attention off the fact he is a Nazi!

Disney's Savage future: "Your guns are seized, your free speech is gone, your children are in the hands of the perverts"
Nope, that was the past eight years, you know, the shrub error.

Wing-Nut Yammer and Flap-Doodle

The wing-nuts keep on a'yammering and a'flap-doodlin':

(He's a LOSER) Keyes denounces Obama as "the focal point of evil"
Speaking from the focal point with a forked tongue I see.

Wing-nuts repeat inane claim that CO2 can't be a pollutant because "we breathe" it
Actually, we exhale it we do not inhale it, at least that is how Ma Nature had it set up until we mucked it up.

Gingrich critiques Pelosi on ethics?
Damn, the comedians are getting funnier and funnier these days.

Gingrich is even lying when he's joking
This is true.

Reid ('D'-Nevada) says prisoners can't be transferred to another prison without first being released
He doesn't know how the penal systems works too well now does he?

repugican stool Steele cites Whitman as proof repugicans are a 'Big Tent' party (she quit the GOP in 2003)
Easy to be confused when your world view ended in 1859.

repugican Steele says Obama plans to ban guns and free speech
He says a lot of things and none of them have any relevance or make any sense - or are even true for that matter.

Steele: The media didn't vet Obama — because he's black
Nope, they were too enamored with Sarah's bra size - luckily real Americans were not.

RNC: Constitution was right to count blacks as 3/5ths a man and allow slavery
This from the 'party' that claimed as one of its founding platform planks the abolition of slavery (so they could replace it with an even more heinous form of servitude - 16 hour days for a penny a day wages ... until the labor unions busted up their rackets)

New RNC scare ad revives LBJ's "Daisy" theme of nuclear annihilation
Like I said their world view ended in 1859.

WorldNetDaily seeks donations for "a national billboard campaign with the simple message: 'Where's the birth certificate?'"
Idiots never learn.

Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be?
It might be a silly question to ponder, but give it some serious thought -- this is a great day to realize your talents and desires.

Okay, so maybe you won't ever be able to fly.

Or be invisible.

But you are definitely capable of things you never imagined.

Start pushing yourself to reach higher heights and wake up your ambition.

Let it push you to be a more aggressive person.


More aggressive?! Now, that is a scary thought. And what do you mean I can't fly?!
