I’m Crazy and I’m Right
In honor of Santorum leaving the GOP race and finally letting Multiple Choice Mitt say YES to the GOP dress, here is this fun bit from the Bad Lip Reading Crew:
A Look at How Red State Welfare Queens Operate
Texas is one of those places that personify the whole Red State BS — lots of bluster, belligerence and general bellicosity on being self-reliant, not feeding at the government trough and all of that other hooey about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and not relying on the government. Bloomburg has a great article called, Texas-Sized Safety Net Supports County Voting 83% Against Obama.
Arizona Criminalizes On-Line Flame Wars
You read that right. Arizona H.B. 2549 would make it a crime to be lewd or annoying on the Internets. This bill is on the Governor’s desk for signature. And isn’t interesting that these wingnuts have found one more bit of the Constitution that they want to undermine?
So Why Is DE State House Giving Official Tributes to Known Christian Dominionists?
On January 19, 2012, one C. Peter Wagner was awarded an official tribute from the Delaware House of Representatives, sponsored by Representative Daniel Short and officially signed off by Speaker Gilligan. The House awards tons of these, but this one is spectacularly different.
Late Night Video — The Cain Train Wreck
This weekend’s news has been fascinated with the suspension of Herman Cain’s fake bid for the White House. Fake, because he was just opening a campaign HQ this weekend and still hasn’t actually staffed up to properly compete in either Iowa or NH. He *has* been furiously fundraising, selling books and managing his profile. Much like the Alaska grifter and all of the other GOP grifters looking for their pipeline of wingnut welfare, Herman was alot of sound and fury, signifiying nothing. Which ultimately qualified him to be the GOP frontrunner for one New York minute. And that “suspending” business seems to mean that Herman can still raise money.
Only Fools and Clowns Believe Republican Ideology

In Which We Find That John Sigler Doesn’t Know What He Is Talking About
In yesterday’s Delaware Voice (New Journal), Representative J.J. Johnson reminds GOP chair John Sigler that he should stick to refereeing the food fights in Sussex County and leave the business of governing to those who will care about its details.
Just Like Jesus
Just like Jesus did, Mega-Pastor Rick Warren believes that poor people should pay more taxes.
Heritage: The Poor Have It Too Damned Good
The conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation has a new report on poverty in America arguing that cheap electronics mean the poor aren’t poor.
A Nation of Socialists
It is always amusing to listen to the teajadis and their bleats about socialism or redistributing wealth — especially since you know that most of them are some of the biggest beneficiaries of government handouts on the planet. Now we can see exactly how much redistribution Americans take advantage of and we don’t even *know* that these are government programs:
Why Should Increased Tax Revenues Be On the Table? Because Americans Support More Tax Revenues.
Really, if you have been paying any attention at all to the deficit discussions over the past 6 months or so, you will know that the only people who are against increasing tax revenues — whether that is from increased taxes on the wealthy or closing of unneeded loopholes) — are Congressional Republicans. There has been a decent amount of polling about this over the past 6 months, polling that Bruce Bartlett has rounded up at his blog.
The GOP’s Odd Silence On Economic Sabotage
Why is there no reaction from the GOP when one of the Senate’s top Democrats accuses them of economic sabotage?
Another Edition of IOKIYAR — Christine O’Donnell Saved by the GOP
So the rest of the story of how the FEC charges against O’Donnell got dropped finally comes out. And she is saved from having to account for her mismanagement of campaign funds by the Republican commissioners on the FEC.
