Glenn Beck is a Jedi Master?
From the folks at Media Matters: “On his Fox News show, Beck attacked The Wall Street Journal‘s Thomas Frank for writing a column critical of Beck’s view of history, saying that the piece had ‘no substance.’ Beck added: ‘There never is. What they do is they attack. They smear and hope something sticks. Frank/Thomas, and those just like you — they’re in love with President Obama and his agenda.’ He went on to say: ‘They look to destroy anyone that stands in their way, but they will fail. Yes, because I’m a Jedi master. As long as we are all standing, we will not fail, as long as we [are] here in the fire of truth.’ [Glenn Beck, 8/4/10, via Nexis]”
So, Glenn Beck is a Jedi Master? Let me think … Nope, he’s not. If Beck were anything he’d be a Sith apprentice, and that would mean there has to be a Sith Lord out there somewhere. Because, as Master Yoda once said, “Two there always are, a Master and an apprentice.”
But who would be the Master?
Why of course! It’s so obvious! FOX PAC owner Rupert Murdoch!
Gingrich says he’s more inclined than not to run?
RUN NEWT RUN! PLEASE!
The very thought Newt Gingrich is seriously considering a run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 can make one positively giddy. I can’t wait to see the circus created with Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich both running. YES! Saturday Night Live is saved!
Gingrich is obviously hoping Americans, especially Republicans, will not remember that by the end of his second year serving as House Speaker more than 58 percent of people polled believed he should be replaced as Speaker because he wasn’t considered either honest or trustworthy enough to continue in his office.
No doubt, he’s also hoping voters won’t remember that he was forced to resign, not only as Speaker, but also from his Seat amidst a brewing ethics scandal and following the GOP loss of House seats in the 1998 elections.
Finally, I’m certain he’s hoping voter’s will forget his somewhat tainted personal life, replete with extra marital affairs, and asking one of his wives for a divorce – because he now loved his mistress – while she was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.
Yep, he’s just the guy the GOP needs as its champion for “family values”.
RUN NEWT RUN! PLEASE!
Senator Brown Supports Repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’?
Well, this has got to be making the Tea Party crowd go apoplectic now doesn’t it?
It is refreshing to see that at least one GOP Senator has the guts and common sense to do the right thing here. You can think – or believe – what you want about homosexuality, and the gay and lesbian lifestyle; however, gays and lesbians serving openly in the military is not going to affect how our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines perform their sworn duties to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Army, Marine chiefs cast doubt on gay service?
“If the law is changed, successfully implementing repeal and assimilating openly homosexual Marines into the tightly woven fabric of our combat units has strong potential for disruption at the small unit level, as it will no doubt divert leadership attention away from an almost singular focus of preparing units for combat,” the Marine commandant, Gen. James Amos, told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Come on General. Really?
Why didn’t you say what you were really thinking, “Plus, I have a big problem with taking a shower with other Marines knowing who might be sizing me up,” Gen Amos added, “I enjoy my showers much more when I don’t know who might be sizing me up, it’s much more exciting, the suspense is quite literally over the top!”
Gen Amos, Gen Casey and Sen McCain are all bigots. No other way to say it.
“… successfully implementing repeal and assimilating openly homosexual Marines into the tightly woven fabric of our combat units has strong potential for disruption at the small unit level, as it will no doubt divert leadership attention away from an almost singular focus of preparing units for combat.” I ask again, really?
What is disruptive numb nuts is having to waste time and money breaking up units by dismissing highly trained and dedicated troops during a time of war because bigoted homophobic morons like yourself, Gen Casey and Senator McCain are insecure about your own sexuality.
Note to all three of you: It’s time for you fossils to step down. We are living in a new era when our Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors are not intimidated by who is or who is not gay.
MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. POTTER!

Sometimes karma does work out. Now of course, this really doesn’t mean anything, unless Mr. Cheney is stupid enough (or perhaps greedy enough) to fall for the e-mail they’ll be sending him claiming he’s been given $100 million dollars and he just has to travel to Nigeria to collect it …
Dark Riders Roam the Halls of Congress …
And so the 30th day comes, and with it comes the darkness. The poor are to be trampled upon forth with, and those who will not work are to be thrown out upon the street … DEFICIT! DEBT! The Dark Riders shriek, as they ride the halls of Congress … DEBT! DEFICIT!
Billions for Iraq and Afghanistan but not a penny for free loading Americans!
Ho, ho, ho … GOP Blocking Unemployment Insurance?
And to start this holiday season off right the GOP is blocking continuance of unemployment insurance! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Get a job! (cue GOP favorite Christmas jingle, Bruce Hornsby’s “The Way it Is”) I always suspected Mr. Potter, Scrooge and Marley belonged to that caucus.
I can hear my conservative friends now, “But, you know the deficit is way too high and the national debt is staggering”
And that my friends, is why Boehner and company are holding out to raise both by another $800 Billion to continue a tax break for the top 2% of Americans?
GOTP Leaders Tell Smithsonian to Pull ‘Homoerotic’ Exhibit?
While I agree the so-called “art” featuring religious symbols (i.e. the crucifix in a bottle of urine, or a crucifix being crawled on by ants) shouldn’t be in the Smithsonian, and shouldn’t be funded by tax payer’s dollars – if indeed it is
With that being said, and with so many other “real” problems confronting us, like, oh I don’t know, the fact American’s unemployment insurance has ended, maybe Republican Tea Party (GOTP) leaders like Boehner, Cantor, and company, should be spending time on other things beside censorship?
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/update-gop-leaders-tell-smithsonian-to-pull-homoerotic-exhibit/
Just to clarify the situation, I don’t believe there is any “homoerotic art” in the so-called “homoerotic” exhibit … I have looked through it, and once again the GOTP Thought Police, have overstepped its bounds … It isn’t that there’s “homoerotic” art in the exhibit, it’s all about the fact the museum has chosen to feature an exhibit by Gay and Lesbian artists. It’s about state funded discrimination – which is wrong. I agree the American people shouldn’t be funding “offense” art to hang in the “people’s” museum – the Smithsonian – but this is not the case here.
By-the-way, who appointed the GOTP to be America’s conscience? Can we choose a body of people less inclined to invoke God’s name while violating any number of His commandments? Please? Anybody else?
