A last minute tricky-quicky from the "you just can't make this shit up" department...
...in between bouts of uncontrollable sobbing the incoming Weeper of the House, John Boner, has managed to appoint Michele Bachmann to the House Intelligence committee, thereby unwittingly giving political comedians a self-written punchline for the next two years...
Senator John Cornyn is a lying bastard...in other news, water is wet.
I know that the title of this piece is a bit of a giveaway, but on the day that President "Nope, no Change" signs away our children's and grandchildren's financial futures for a few beanstalk beans, I thought it would be useful to point out (again) the rank hypocrisy being demonstrated by the party of "small government" and "fiscal conservatism".
Take for example, Senator John Cornyn. He is one of the very biggest liars and hypocrites in a party absolutely stuffed to the gills with them. As this bloated behemoth of free giveaways to the extremely wealthy known as the Omnibus Spending Bill works it's way through the sausage-making machine in D.C. some republicans saw it as an opportunity to have their cake and eat it too. They figured they would be able to load as much pork onto the bill as possible, and then vote against it, safe in the knowledge that the bill would pass without their vote anyway. Why? Because if it didn't, the core constituents of the Democratic base would have their taxes go up on January 1st and that would not be a good idea, even if it meant the rich got to pay a little bit more too. So what does this silver-haired skidmark do? On one hand he sends out e-mails lambasting the Democrats for wasteful earmark spending whilst on the other hand he makes sure to put in for $18 million of them for himself. So far, so good. Next step in the rethuglican playbook is to hold a press conference and slam the Democrats for over-spending in a lame-duck session. The only problem is the usually placid and compliant M$M momentarily forgot who their masters were and actually called them out on it.
Just for once the hypocrites were called out for their blatant lies. For one glorious moment the presstitutes started to ask the questions that made the rethuglicans feel uncomfortable. The hypocritical bastards actually looked surprised. They thought this was going to be a normal run-of-the-mill presser where the lapdogs lobbed nothing but softballs for them to swing at, and then everyone would leave happy knowing that they had all played their part. Instead they were shamed into looking like the bought and paid for whores that they are. They were hoisted on their own petards of avarice and greed. Well maybe not that last bit, but dammit, for one brief moment things actually made a little more sense.
And what were the networks covering this week? Yup, you guessed it, Ryan Reynolds break-up with Scarlett Johansson.
You know. The important shit.

Why is John Boner always crying...??
Seriously, I think this dude is messed up in the head. The soon-to-be Speaker of the House was on 60 minutes last night for an interview (if by 'interview' you mean brazen and unapologetic fluffing by a willing and eager member of the M$M) and seemed to spend most of the time sobbing like a six-year old girl that had just seen her brand-new puppy get run over by Santa Claus's sleigh. Twice.
Now understand, I am not talking about getting a little choked up, maybe a solitary tear slowly rolling its' way down one of his bright orange cheeks as he recalled some touching moment in his past, or an emotional rememberance of some past elder that he held dear. Nope, Boner was in full-on melt down like someone had just slammed his fingers in the car-door, kicked him in the bollocks, and told him it wasn't going to stop until he said uncle.
Being a bit of a bastard I actually thought it was hysterical. The stupid orange bugger looked like a total wuss, and in this day and age of far-right-wing republican women telling any man that displays the remotest sign of vulnerablity (or humanity for that matter) that they need to "man up", I think that Boner is in for a rough ride if he keeps this up. Of course any amusement I experienced from this display of borderline mental disease (it's either that or he has a shitload of suppressed emotional stuff he needs to deal with) was inevitably tempered by the fact that all it really showed was the blatant and rank hypocrisy of the whores in the complicit M$M.
Let's be honest, if the former speaker, Nancy Pelosi, a person with more courage and balls in her purse than her Oompa-Loompa-looking successor could ever possibly dream of, had ever acted that way in public, the presstitutes and right-wing attack dogs would have been all over her. They would have accused her of being 'mentally unstable', or 'an overly emotional woman', or 'unable to stand the challenges of her position'. Never mind that, can you imagine the uproar if President Obama acted this way? Over at Fake News you would be able to hear heads exploding. And yet when the chain-smoking, booze-hound from Ohio goes on national telly and sobs like a lost child he is called 'authentic' and 'one-of us'.
Really? It's enough to make you want to cry.

Caribou Barbie gets it all wrong....again...
So apparentely in revenge for the anti-WikiLeaks musings the Quitta from Wasilla has been spouting on her FB page, a group of anonymous hackers decided to fuck with her political action committee website (if by political action commitee you mean "legal method to personally enrich herself at the expense of morons that think she's presidential material") and shut it down with a D.O.S. attack.
This so incensed Mrs 'It's all about me" Palin that she had to quip thusly on her FB page "This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his (Julian Assange) sick, un-American espionage efforts". Okay, a couple of things. One, Sarah Palin doesn't know what espionage is, never mind know how to spell it correctly without the aid of spellcheck, and secondly, of course he's un-American you stupid, stupid woman...he's AUSTRALIAN.
I don't know which is more frightening, that this half-baked walking bag of stupid thinks she is presidential material, or the fact that there are other people in the US that think the same thing.

You just cannot make this shit up...or, why Morpheus was right...
..."irony, it seems, is not without a sense of humour"...
Case in point...(And no, it's not from The Onion).
After succesfully hounding Wikileaks from being hosted on various servers around the globe, including Amazon.com, and effectively choking off it's funding, Paypal and now Visa will not process payments or donations to the site, the US will be hosting "World Press Freedom Day in 2011".
Irony much?
