I Got Nothing

Filed in Delaware, National by on February 19, 2013

I’ve spent a good part of the morning looking for something to write about, and I got nothing.  Have I become immune to Republican crazy?  There’s enough of it out there, but it’s the same old, same old. Seriously, I feel numb.  I can’t even muster up outrage for all the stupid.  Perhaps I’m not immune or numb… perhaps I am simply overwhelmed.

So, forgive my lack of substance because I really got nothing… not even a post.

    Usually when that happens, I read every headline at The Hill and see if the feeling passes.

    how about writing about Colorado State Rep. Joe Salazar and his absurd comments. Or are we going to overlook that one because he’s a D?

    Since he is South African and not American I think Pistorios will probably do time. Here in the good ole US of A, killing a spouse is pretty much expected. It is what home defense fire arms are for.

    First… Men, please stop talking about rape. Most of you are horrendously bad at it.

    Let’s review…

    Joe Salazar: “It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles. Because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at. And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop a round at somebody.”

    He was stupid to use the rape example when his point was trigger happy shooters.

    Todd Akin: “From what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Akin said. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something, I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.”

    That comment is about how women who were really raped can’t get pregnant.

    Richard Mourdock: “The only exception I have to have an abortion is in the case of the life of the mother. I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God. I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”

    This is how pregnancy from rape is what god intended.

    And these last two…

    Roger Rivard: “Some girls rape easy.”

    Douglas Henry: “Rape, ladies and gentlemen, is not today what rape was. Rape, when I was learning these things, was the violation of a chaste woman, against her will, by some party not her spouse.”

    … deal with rape in the Madonna/whore lens.

    Don’t worry about having nothing to write. The universe is doomed anyway:

    (Snort alert: warning: put beverage down now). Brief warning about the numbness… Fight it, keep looking… Numbness is what gave us 2010. The Tea Party was such an effin joke, no one took it seriously. We all forgot how stupid rural America was. We can’t make that mistake again… It’s like stopping WWII at the crossing of the Rhine, like stopping the advance at Iwo Jima, it is like turning around and going home after Fallujah.

    Like tending a garden, you have to keep pulling the weeds… And it’s easiest to do them as they sprout….

    Wish it was legal to spray “Round Up” on Republicans.
