It’s about time someone has called these nut jobs out face to face (even if O’Donnell and Taitz were on different coasts).
The next thing is for someone, anyone, to file a complaint with the California Bar Association to strip this nafka of her license to practice law and [...]

A Low Point In American Politics

Today we have reached a low point in American politics. After a huge frenzy of a non-traversy, enabled by a lazy media, Barack Obama released the Holy Grail of birth certificates, the long form birth certificate. It proved what we’ve known all along, Obama was born in Hawai’i.
He also gave a press conference where he [...]

Pre-Chanukah Asshats of the Day

So I’m sitting here chilling to some Celia Cruz (Azucar!) and thought, hey, I haven’t honored anyone lately with an asshat award. And today we have two winners.
Our first winner is Eugene Delgaudio, a Republican representing Sterling on the Loudoun County (VA) Board of Supervisors. I think we all read about Pandora’s experience [...]

Connect The Dots On The New GOP Terror Babies

First, watch this video with Anderson Cooper to get a big dose of the new Republican Party.   Conspiracy theories rule, facts/evidence are not necessary, and when questioned just keep talking like a crazy person.  I’m beginning to think that Dems should use all these clips as campaign ads.

Now, let’s connect the dots.  This is the [...]

I Don’t Get This Guy

I Think There’s A Lot More Of This Republican Congressional Birther Support Then We Realize

Rep. Jean Schmidt her “Birther” street cred.
Does she really believe this, or is she simply intimidated by her own base?  Either way this has gotten completely out of hand.

Crazy Eileen Must Never Have Been a Mother

I have been thinking about what you have to believe to be a birther. It must be hard to keep your head in it.

You have to believe that Obama’s Mother was crazy. You have to believe that she was quite pregnant and willingly flew to Kenya. She had to fly for something like two days on two or three different airlines. She had to fly like 3 segments on PanAm and 2 or 3 on East African Airways.
