Twas the night before health care. (’Tis the season, huh?)

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through DC
Smiling Libs, pouting Cons
Were all you could see.

At some point, Parker Griffith will stand up with orange-faced Oompah Loompah John Boehner and get a big ol’ slap on the back for the “courage” to change parties.

The same slap on the back Arlen Specter got when he saw the writing on the wall, and switched parties to keep his clout… Griffith did what I’m sure a handful of conservative “democrats” are considering… changing their “D” to an “R” so they don’t have to change their “Employed” to “Unemployed” in 2010.

Health Care Frankenstein. Let’s try to remember who’s responsible for this monster.

It’s the Republicans who are running the next election campaign on every bill that comes through the House and Senate, that were the biggest roadblocks to what it seems a majority of Americans wanted.

So, no. I won’t blame Obama for that. There are plenty of other things going on that have lessened my enthusiasm for this President. But on the issue of health care, I think he had no choice to be a pragmatist in the face of an enemy with a drone-like mindset of a Star Wars storm trooper.

Good Morning America – No to Lambert, Yes to Chris Brown. SERIOUSLY?!

So, here’s a serious WTF moment:

ABC has booked Rihanna-beater Chris Brown for an interview and a performance on “Good Morning America” — right after the network canceled guy-kisser Adam Lambert.

Brown will do a taped tell-all with Robin Roberts, followed by a performance of songs from his new album. But TV insiders say the appearance, slated to air the week [...]

Ever since the idiocy of “Balloon Boy,” I have been pining for the moment where fame-whores finally cross a line, and face serious repercussions for their stupidity.
Maybe here.  Maybe this.
AP – Tareq and Michaele Salahi, the couple who crashed the White House state dinner, may face criminal charges, the Secret Service announced today.

Giving thanks for Sarah Palin. :)

It was a little more than a year ago that John McCain introduced Sarah Palin to us, the final nail in the coffin of his presidential campaign.
As comedians, and humorists, let us take a moment and be thankful – for all she has given us in the past, and all she will give us in [...]

A Hard Week for the Ladies of the Hard Right

This another instance of the wolf-killer who cried “victim” crying victim once more. From Obama (lipstick on the pig), then David Letterman (who clearly told an ill-conceived joke) and now Newsweek… this self-described pitbull with lipstick sure tends to spend a lot of time whimpering like a poodle that got her paw caught in a car door.

Jon Gosselin learns what AHA! did… just because you’re famous once, doesn’t mean you get to stay famous.

You can go now. You can disappear into the corn, never to be seen again, like 99% of the people of “Survivor” or “American Idol.” We barely remember the winners, why would we waste valuable brain space on the losers? Nobody owes you fame… And nobody is stopping you from doing what you did before you were on TV.

The Mormon Church Blinks On Discrimination

But because you need to reward good behavior, hurrah for the Mormon Church for this. They have now left the middle ages and are living in the 1950s. It’s a baby step, but at least it’s a step in the right direction.
