And they wonder why they are considered morons

This is why they are considered morons:

Cynthia Davis, a repugican state representative in Missouri, says hunger among children "can be a positive motivator".

Wing Nut Yammering and Flap Doodle

Wing Nuts today include:

Dimbulb blames Obama for Sanford's affair
We have posted a complete story on this lunacy earlier, but include it in this listing as well.

CNBC's Cramer: "We got a little too much democracy in this country"
Ah! The truth has begun seeping through the loose seams. A Nazi reveals itself.

Disney's Savage says Obama orchestrated Ensign and Sanford's extramarital affairs
It is amazing how these clowns parrot themselves! And, are completely wrong while doing so. Just amazing.

Bachmann (reject-Minnesota) raises the issue of 'mental stability'
Oh, now this is rich, how someone who is demonstrably (irrefutably, I might add) mentally unstable should raise the 'mental stability' issue.

Gingrich (reptile-Georgia) compares Democratic leadership to the 'forces of darkness' in Iran and North Korea
Projecting again, I see. When it is the repugicans who are akin to the governments of Iran and North Korea in political philosophy and the way they conduct themselves.

Liars and Fools

Liars and Fools for the day are:

Neugebauer (retard-Texas): 'I don't know' if Obama is a citizen
Damn, this 'johnny one-note' song is getting overly tiresome. Obama is a citizen of the United States. However those who are still questioning reality might not be either by non-citizenship from birth or forfeiture of citizenship for treason.

Joe the Plumber (who's not a plumber) wonders why Chris Dodd (D-Connecticut) hasn't been lynched
Well, for one thing he is not a repugican. On top of that he hasn't done anything 'worthy of a lynching'.

National Review's McCarthy: "in principle Obama is fine with dictatorship"
Wrong, but that won't stop those that love a dictatorship from accusing a Democratically elected official of being a 'dictator'.

Disney's Savage says he'll publish "full pictures and other pertinent information about" the "Stalinists" at Media Matters
Oh, oh, he dosen't like being outed for what he is - a hate-filled psychotic sociopath - so he is lashing out at those who keep exposing him. Tough nuggets there 'savage'.

Internet hatemonger Turner is arrested again (second time in a month), this time for death threats against judges
Keep the insane maniac behind bars this time, folks - he is a danger to society.

WorldNetDaily's Farah launches crusade to find those who witnessed Obama's birth
Give me a break. Obama is a citizen and he is president of the United States. Deal with it.

Madoff may not have benefited most in scam

It is rare these days to see Bernard Madoff's name in print unaccompanied by the word "Ponzi." Yet recent allegations raise the possibility of one key difference between Madoff's crimes and those of legendary con artist Charles Ponzi. While Ponzi's scam was under way, Ponzi himself was its biggest beneficiary. It now appears that the biggest winner in Madoff's scheme may not have been Madoff at all, but a secretive businessman named Jeffry Picower.

Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

Letting your industrious side take the day off could prove challenging, but it'll mean a great deal to the family and friends who'd like your complete presence.
Whatever's going on at work will definitely be there tomorrow, while this day happens only once.
Get yourself busy and engaged in the moment -- appoint yourself official photographer, or sous chef for a celebratory meal, or make a point of having a good conversation with each and every person in the room.
Or do all three!
