Friday Follies: TGIF? How about WGAF* instead?

Nothing really funny about any of these I suppose but here goes: Anthony Weiner, the Democratic Representative who didn't pay for sex with women who made him wear diapers, resigned yesterday. David Vitter the republican Senator who did, didn't.

Mitt Romney, the walking-talking mormon Ronald Reagan look-alike doll currently on his "No really, I'm a man of the people - by the way could you please pass the Grey Poupon" tour, said that he understood what it was like to be unemployed as he doesn't currently have a job either. Mitt Romney has a personal net worth in excess of $250 million. Mittens, I hate to break it to you, but you have precisely ZERO idea what being unemployed is like.

I saw something this morning on my way into work that made my head spin, a Toyota Prius with a McCain/Palin bumpersticker on it. Either someone was taking the piss or they were very, very confused.

But the single most worrying thing that happened this week was the talking point that emerged from the republican "debate" on Monday evening. ('Debate' is a rather charitable description of this gathering of religiously-insane, raving lunatics and right-wing carnival barkers, but it's the word everyone else is using so I will too...) Anyway, as I was saying, the scariest part was that the M$M decreed that Michelle Bachmann was the 'winner' of the evening. If we truly live in a world where that barking-mad, christo-fascist, looney-tunes is the "winner" of anything other than the "Zealot of the Year" award, I want to re-locate.

Immediately.

Have a great weekend you all!

*WGAF = Who Gives A Fuck

Global Climate Change is a myth right?

Watch this and THEN tell me it isn't real...


I'm not stupid enough to think that many people actually read this blog, and that this rant has just about the same effect as yelling at the storm, but if you do read this, and after seeing this you STILL think Al Gore and the Environmentalists are full of shit, do me a favour and go fuck yourself. It is passed time to figure out if it exists, it is now time to prepare for what we have to do to survive afterwards...Sure it'll be fun to piss on the graves of the dead politicians and corporate executives that destroyed this planet for their own greed, but I want today's children, and their children, and their children's children to have a planet that will be able to support them as they try and heal the wounds of the selfish bastards that took it to the brink....

Peace.

Nobel Peace Prize winner's war count is now up to five...Yemen is the newest addition..

..at some point he actually has to END a war (or two) right? Otherwise that prize makes as much sense as fucking for virginity...

Oh, and Fukushima Daiichi continues to spew out lethal radioactivity unabated (in fact things are much worse than originally stated - big surprise I know), but let's keep our focus on the texted pictures of a NY congressman's dick instead, yes?

You know, the really important shit...

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s War On Craft Beer

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s War On Craft Beer

From the link above, "Tucked into Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) much-discussed budget was a little-noticed provision to overhaul the state’s regulation of the beer industry. In a state long associated with beer, the provision will make it much more difficult for the Wisconsin’s burgeoning craft breweries to operate and expand their business by barring them from selling directly."

Hmm, and there was me thinking that this little boss-eyed fucker's election slogan was "Wisconsin: Open For Business"...I guess that only applies if you donated to his campaign...

Of circular firing squads...Weiner-gate Day 69

Over the weekend, the Democrats managed to take the lead from the republicans in the "Rank Hypocrisy" ratings as both the former leader of the House Dems, Nancy Pelosi, and Democratic National Committee Chair, Debbie Wasserman-Shulz, added their voices to the chorus of baying hounds demanding that Anthony Weiner (D-Moron) resign from Congress.

According to these esteemed ladies he has "a problem" and he is "causing a distraction".

Really? Seems to me that the only "problem" is that some Democrats are having trouble distinguishing between criminal and non-criminal activity. If you have committed a crime, typically speaking you shouldn't be in Congress (although you'd be hard-pressed to convince me they aren't all a bunch of criminals), but if all you are guilty of is trying to get into someone's knickers that aren't your wife's, then typically that just makes you a perfect example of a U.S. Congressman.

As for the topic "causing a distraction" neither lady saw the irony that they had to both go on national media outlets to share their outrage.

To top things off, all three of the major network brekkie shows this morning had lengthy segments dealing with Weiner-gate. All of them had deeply earnest presenters along with serious-looking political commentators, frowning and scowling and pontificating about how disagreeable the whole situation was, and how the sooner he resigned the better off we'd all be, without actually saying why he should step down.

I am in no way defending what he did, I think it was spectacularly arrogant, and breath-takingly stupid, but if one elected official who used the services of prostitutes (Senator David Vitter, R- Diaper Sex) gets to keep his job, but another one that simply tweeted a picture of his dick doesn't get to keep his, something is seriously wrong with the way things get done in Washington D.C.

Once again the Democrats managed to demonstrate their favourite party-trick, the circular firing squad. Look, I expect the mediawhores to demand Democratic blood for every perceived infraction, after all that's what they are paid for, what I don't expect is for fellow Democrats to be the loudest voices in the Choir of Outrage....
