Hats off to Harry Reid

You gotta give Harry credit, we have lived through the most insane nonsense from the republicans and their spokespeople for at least four years now, and when Harry says something off the wall, the right wingnuts, republicans, and assorted tea party whiners are all up in arms.

So now that Harry has struck back with the same artillery, it's time we all had a go at it. So let's see if imitation is really a sign of flattery. Quotes below cannot be confirmed, but whoever said truth had any business in republican politics.

"Mitt Romney is not really a Mormon, he is a closet Episcopalian."
"There are over two hundred Nazis in the republican party today."
"Republicans are openly working to help the poor get poorer."
"Romney really does believe today what he believed yesterday but not the next day, but..."
"Republicans in the Chamber of Commerce think slavery is an excellent business practice."
"Mitt Romney swallows lots of xanax so he can be with regular Americans."
"Mitt Romney's real middle name is Adolph."
"Neocons are funding Mitt so they can invade Bermuda."
"Yes, you the taxpayer helped bail out the Utah Olympics."
"Rush Limbaugh has converted to Islam."
"Mitt really likes the little people in America so long as they stay away from his many gated estates."
"Fox and the WSJ secretly think all business men are crooks but openly want to share in their thievery."
"No one can confirm Mitt was born, some speculate corporate money created him."
"Republican only oppose gay marriage because their children are gay and they'd loss a wedge issue."
"Republicans don't hate women, they just want them barefoot and in the kitchen."
"According to sources, Romney is a cyborg, watch him smile."
"Republicans really only want to stop anyone who votes other than republican from voting."
"Republicans want majorities in congress so they slide through more pork and pay raises."
"Republicans really do care about healthcare so long as the sick person is a rich republican voter."
"Abortion is important to republicans because...jeez, no one knows why."

There are lots more, maybe you have heard some rumors disguised as facts. Please share them and keep em coming Harry. Don't be shy.

Wow, this just in: "Rumor has it Mitty really wanted to serve the nation in the military and not be just another draft dodger, but Zeus called him, he swears it was Zeus, Zeus told him to teach the natives." We are waiting for confirmation of the truth of this new absurdity disguised as fact claiming to be rumor.

The Conservative Apologist

If one thing is clear from the Arizona shooting, it is the inability of those on the right side of the political spectrum in America to face the reality that their words have power. The barrage of excuses and finger pointing is the consistent reaction of a political ideology that dominates much of the air waves today. One would need to believe that Jared Loughner's anger materialized out of thin air and his selection of victim had nothing to do with the political climate in America. This is just another example of an inability of most on the right to face the real world with eyes open. Today there is a bustling business in revising history, and there is conservative money to recreate the past in any number of ways. Examine only the conservative and corporate sponsored think tanks, bloggers, or the so called grass root movements that get lots of press but are corporate sponsored. To be clear, it is money that comes from ideologues who have done well under American capitalism, but ...

America, The Stupid

The other day a fake commencement address by a right wing talking head, Neal Boortz was praised as the best ever online. Since I know many teachers, and the work they do, and the difficulties they face in a society in which only money and sports are worshiped, I took umbrage with such nonsense. My solution to the buffoon's 'libelous'* speech - I am not sure what word to use when someone who earns their living talking shit all day criticizes people who actually contribute to society - was the old fashioned one, a good punch in the mouth followed by a toss off the stage. How else could you rationally debate a total jackass. I was raised in a world in which the teacher was in charge in the classroom and the student listened. Today in America every moron, with equally moronic parents, is not only right, but the teachers wrong. And then when asked why our students do so poorly, the teachers are blamed. Imagine if little Joanie studied instead of texting and kicking a ball al...
