Tuesday Open Thread

Welcome to your Tuesday open thread. What’s going on in your part of Delaware? It’s looking like spring in mine! What else is on your mind?

Oh no, the Supreme Court has joined the Obama conspiracy. We’re on a slippery slope to Sharia!

The Supreme Court has again rejected an appeal from a “birther” proponent questioning the citizenship of President Barack Obama.

The justices Monday turned aside without comment a request for a rehearing of various claims, after dismissing the original appeal in late January.

The long-shot petition by Gregory Hollister had called on Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to withdraw from considering the constitutional claims, contending a conflict of interest by the president’s two high court appointees.

Lower federal claims had dismissed Hollister’s claims.

Thanks GOP for keeping this craziness alive by not knocking it down earlier. What a waste of time and money.

Former Senator Alan Simpson, one of the co-chairs of Obama’s deficit commission spoke to Fox News yesterday. He unleashed his trademark wisdom with some pop culture references:

“This is a fakery,” Simpson said on Fox News. “If they care at all about their children or grandchildren, and sometimes I doubt that – I think, you know, grandchildren now don’t write a thank-you for the Christmas presents, they’re walking on their pants with the cap on backwards listening to the enema man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg, and they don’t like them!”

…

More from Simpson: He said the public should stop using the word “cut” in discussing Social Security, warning that younger generations have more at stake than they might think.

“The sinful nature of the discourse is ‘cutting’ Social Security,” he said. “We’re not cutting Social Security – we’re trying to make the stuff solvent for 75 years! And young people say, ‘Well, I know there won’t be anything there for me; I’m not worried about it.’ Well, I tell ya, when you waddle up to the window at 65 and you put 6.2 percent of all your jack in that thing, you’re gonna want something back!”

See kids, Abe Alan Simpson, is just trying to help you by stealing your Social Security. You are so ungrateful. Also, anyone else notice that Simpson must think a lot about defecation?
