Michelle Bachmann, At It Again! (VIDEO)




Crazy meets crazy, but sometimes, the first crazy says to the second crazy, "You're too crazy for me, I'm outta here!"

It's always fun to poke fun at Michelle Bacmann's utter-stupidity, and by extension the people she represents because they elected her, even AFTER she threw herself into crazy mode.

I've been developing a conspiracy theory about Michelle Bachmann. Could it be that she actually doesn't believe what she is saying, but wants national attention and fame that she just keep coming out to say it, and knows she has an ear- and mouthpiece on Fox News? I can understand her wanting to be famous; there are 435 representatives and locals fail to hear anything about the lower folks on the totem pole because nobody wants to talk to them. So what she does is go out and say crazy shit, gets the audience to follow what she is saying, and videos on YouTube skyrockets as she is consistently passed around, such as I am doing right now, and gets national attention and fame. It works, and therefore she keeps doing it. So that's my conspiracy theory: she really is an intellectual conservative that makes sense to her colleagues and other folks in private and makes a character in public, much like Stephen Colbert. However, if you're not conservative, you already know, he's joking.

I know what you're thinking, and I agree. My theory couldn't possibly be true. To go out in public and claim the Census is going to be used to round-up folks of an undesired race (maybe crazy white women?) is downright silly. To claim further that there should be a question to weed out illegal immigrants by asking "Are you an American citizen?" is downright hilarious. If I were an illegal immigrant, with everything else being equal, you know what I would do when I got my Census survey and it asked me that question? I would lie, and mark "Yes". There, it's now official and no harm can be done to me. Oh wait, there is harm: the statistics are now wrong. We now have no illegal immigration problem. Well, I guess problem solved? Of course, I overly simplified the situation, but the census is not for finding out how many citizens and non-citizens we have, but to find out the current demographics are in particular areas, and adjusting the seats in Congress accordingly. Sure, some states will benefit from illegal populations, but those states have been benefiting for more than the last Census in 2000. most illegal immigrants won't even be filling one out because they can't physically own property or most of the time rent property, so Michelle, I think you lose that argument, mainly because you're FROM MINNESOTA.

Again, even I don't believe my theory, but it was worth a shot, huh? I can dream of a less stupid world can't I? Or will I continually face stupid speech in this world, particularly from one Michelle Bachmann? Oh well, at least I can blog about her and say mean things and she really can't do anything about it.

Fox Noise is Given Taste of Own Pills (VIDEO)




So, sorry about another block between postings. I've been kinda preoccupied with other things the last couple of weeks. I'm actually do this today because I miss my fiance and she would want me to keep busy.

Anyway, up there was a video of Griff Jenkins being ambushed by a blogger. Kinda reversed, since Griff is usually the one doing the ambushing of bloggers and other liberals. Props to Adam, I believe is his name, for net letting go and not being badgered by the fact that Griff was the one with the microphone.

It's very annoying the tactics Fox uses to get interviews. How very low on the journalism totem pole is that? How desperate to paint the opposition or disagreers in a bad light are they? It's good to see that Griff got a taste of his own medicine.

There is also one extra bit in that clip that I would like to address: Griff mentions the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. I'm sure my finance knows it better than he does since she just took Political Science. Please allow me to quote that amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Which means that a private event that says "no press" has every right to block someone's "free speech" rights, because Congress hasn't made it law. Things said on this blog, the television, the radio, and other such media outlets are not allowed to say whatever they want to say and then say it was their first amendment right to do so. Utterly false. Your free speech is only protected if the government tries to make a law abridging your right to speak out against it. Like what Iran is doing right now with journalists and the protests. That shit is protected. But me calling Sarah Palin a retard (though she is) is not protected. If she could prove actual malice, I'd be in deep doo-doo.

Linsey Graham is a Tool

It's been a while since I've posted and I apologize. I've been really busy and lazy! Ok, so this got me a little annoyed yesterday: This is Sen Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Fixed Noise complaining that Obama has been AWOL during these past 2 weeks in trying to get a stimulus billed passed. He says it about 1:30 mark of the video.




Now I don't know about anyone else, but what is this guy smoking? Where has he been for the last month? Perhaps for the last 2 weeks? If anyone's been AWOL, it's you, Sen. Graham! Obama has been pushing this stimulus plan, even before he was elected. He was pushing it day-in and day-out while he was President-Elect. He hasn't stopped leading the fight on for this bill. What do you think all the lunches and meetings have been with Republican lawmakers have been for? For nothing? Did he invite you and others to cocktail parties because he's got a huge new house for everyone to see? I'm sure you've seen it before. He won the election and the people spoke the Republicans should sit down and shut up. 

It doesn't make any sense for peeps to be blaming Obama for their own stupidity. It's unbelievable to me that more people haven't told their representatives to stop talking and start acting. You work for us. Not for your own ideologies, and certainly not for your own personal gain. You have absolutely no idea what the situation is because you're a US Senator and save for being a horrible human being, you can't lose your job until your term ends. You've got more than one house most likely. You don't see what the economy is doing to normal working folks. Stop lolly-gagging and shut the fuck up. I don't understand how we get anything done in this country with fucktards like Lindsey Graham running around with loose lips that sink ships.

It's a catch-22 at this point, because we've got politicians and then we've got politicians. They never stop talking. This shit is extremely simple. A government cannot work if there is constant roadblocking. We might as well sit for the next 4 years with our hands neatly folded why we wait for the next election, watching the world crumble around us. Who cares, right?

I am so fucking glad life is progressive in nature, and hopefully by the time I'm an old man I can see the crazy religious right go down in flames, as it is surely beginning now.
