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.

Give these jerks a dose or true reality.

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.

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.

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.

Your looks cannot save you, Carrie Prejean.

It seems to me that Carrie Prejean is still living in a world where her looks are powerful enough to help her dodge real questions and be treated like a real pundit.  No disrespect meant, my dimwitted stereotype of a blonde, but your days of manipulating men to do what you want with your looks [...]

Election day 2009. Blah blah blah.

Locally, yeah – the GOP got some bumps. Good. Maybe it’ll be the Halloween scare that Obama needs to get a few more things done. And that’s what everyone will focus on – Beck and Limbaugh, Fox News, Michael Steele… everybody’s going to wring their hands about what it means to Obama. This is the happiest they’ve been since America lost the Olympics.
