POPE FIXES RYAN GOOD

In other flat earth, Republicant, Tea Bagger news:

,

Paul Ryan, Willard the Romney's losing running mate, who introduced the DOA Ryan budget the other day (the one that guts aid to poor people and the elderly and gives tax breaks to corporations and the wealthiest people in the country), just got some more bad news.  What's an Ayn Rand, Russian atheist lover to do? 

This latest, cruelest of cuts comes not from compassionate folks (non-Republicants), those who think it's their duty to help the less fortunate, but from his own delusional, tea bagging fellow Republicants.  When Ryan was announced as Willard's choice for VP he enjoyed an 83% approval rating from the other knuckle draggers.  But oh, how things have changed in Ryan-ville.  Today, sad to say, Ryan's approval among the faithful has nose-dived to a mere 52%. 

That can't be right.

Yes, it is right – a 31 point approval drop from his brethren.   Poor Pauly.  Maybe a hungry homeless person can give the cheapskate a hug.  (An aside: Ryan claims it's not government's job to take care of the down and out.  That, Ryan claims, is a job for churches and charities.  Really?  Then how come Ryan's tax returns show that less than 1% of his income was charitable giving.  Bible thumpers everywhere know that a tithe is at least 10%.  But Ryan's idol -- Communist atheist Ayn Rand – would not agree.)

************************************************

The US is celebrating the ten year TEN YEAR anniversary of the Iraq war and there are some who just can't wait for the start of the next one.  No, not Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush.  But Lindsey Graham and John McCain.  They say it's high time we got involved in Syria.  Really?  Try polling the American people on that and see what kind of numbers you get.

Speaking of Iraq, it was Rumsfeld/Bush policy to use private contractors in the HUNT FOR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.  At the height of the war there were 180,000 civilian workers in Iraq, compared to only 146,000 actual troops, something unheard of in any previous US military action.  The cost for the war was $800 billion, of that 20% or $180 million went to civilian contractors.  None of it paid for, all on borrowed money.  War profiteering was a dirty word in earlier times, but not to today's Republicants.

************************************

A recent poll found that 52% of respondents trust PBS news coverage more than any other news source, only 29% don't.  Compare that with Faux News (We distort, you finish eating your prunes).  39% said they trust Faux the least of any news outlet.  See, 39% of the American people aren't so dumb.

In other gun news:  The NRA has worked in states around the country to assure that men who have had court ordered restraining orders issued against them to protect wives or girlfriends DO NOT have to relinquish their guns.

STUFFY OLD MEN WHO ARE SCARY, NARROW MINDED AND OUT OF TOUCH.

In other flat earth, Republicant, Tea Bagger news:

Reince Priebus (what kinda name is Reince Priebus?  It's like Willard the Romney or Wayne – Call Me Crazy – LaPierre.  LaPierre?  Is this France?  No, it's not.  If you want to be a Crazy Frenchy go live in gay Paree. What's wrong with some nice AMERICAN sounding names like Smith or Obama?), anyway, Reince Priebus is the Chair of the Republicant party. 

He's the same Reince Priebus who was top dog for the Republicants in the last election when Republicants lost the presidential by more than 5 million votes (even tho their severely inaccurate "news" channel – Faux – predicted a landslide for their team). He's the same Reince Priebus who orchestrated the loss of numerous House and Senate seats.  Only the Republicants would rehire a manager who saw the team go 0 for 535 during the previous season.

But this severely unproductive Chairman commissioned a study to try and find out why Republicants are so hated by everyone including many Republicants.  Reince Priebus released the results of his study yesterday and the results are instructive, accurate, truth telling and HILARIOUS.  HAHAHAHAHA.

Get this, asked to describe Republicants, respondents said that Republicants are SCARY.  Yikes.  Scary.  RUN. RUN.  The Republicnats are coming.  Mommy, I'm afraid of Republicants.  In addition, Republicants are described as being NARROW MINDED, OUT OF TOUCH and the party is composed of STUFFY OLD MEN.

Wow.  Zwicky couldn't have said it better hisself, although he has been saying it repeatedly.  And those words also describe the primary Faux demographic, which Zwicky has also been saying for months.  Now Reince the Priebus has confirmed what Zwicky knew all along.

Keep in mind, this study wasn't done by some progressive, left wing, socialist group.  It was done by the REPUBLICANT PARTY itself. Republicants decided to have a good look in the mirror and they didn't like what they saw – STUFFY OLD MEN WHO ARE SCARY, NARROW MINDED AND OUT OF TOUCH.

Guess who didn't buy all this studyin' and researchin'.  One guess.  That's right, four times married, childless, admitted prescription drug addict – ONE NOTE, RUSHBO THE BLOWHARD.

Limbaugh was huffing and puffing on his show yesterday, poo-pooing the study and insisting (like a broken record) that the only problem the Republicants have is that they're not conservative enough.  We're not conservative enough, click, we're not conservative enough, click, we’re not conservative enough.

More quarreling in the party of Lincoln, Limbaugh against Priebus against who else ya got?

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day.  Don't ya jus luv it?

NEWS FROM THE CRAZY POLITICALLY ALIENATED CRANKS

In other flat earth, Republicant, Tea Bagger news:

C-PAC (Crazy Politically Alienated Cranks) just wrapped up its EXCITING convention.  It was a fun time for young conservatives, old conservatives, flat earthers and other deranged political losers. 

The latest silly Republicant to ooze from the state of Texas – Sen. Ted Cruz – gave the keynote speech.  Don't you wish you could have been there to hear the Senator?  Oh, just think of the wonder of it all.

Cruz said Obamacare should be repealed because – and this is a direct quote – we're winning right now.  Really?  The Republicant, tea baggers are winning right now?  I wonder what it looks like when they're losing.  Cruz finished his keynote address (yawn) by saying --- and this is a direct quote – count me a proud wacko bird.  This is similar to NRA gun and ammo lobbyist Wayne – call me crazy – LaPierre's insistence on being called crazy.  Say one thing for the right wingers, they're willing to accurately describe themselves. CRAZY AND WACKO. 

Rand Paul was the winner of the straw poll.  How's that for EXCITEMENT.  Rand Paul won the hearts and minds of everyone present, except for once presidential hopeful John McCain, who was booed at C-PAC.  McCain was booed because McCain made disparaging comments about Rand Paul's filibuster against drones.  Paul dislikes drones, McCain loves drones.

Sarah Palin, in her fascinating speech, said horrible things about former Bush's Brain Karl Rove: "… these experts who keep losing elections … should stay in the truck." 

What that means is anybody's guess, but Karl took offense at it anyways.  He fired back, "… if I did run for office and win, I would serve out my term and wouldn't leave office midterm."  This is a nasty reference to Palin quitting her day job as governor of Alaska cause she rightly figured she'd make a lot more green writing books and giving speeches at $50,000 a pop.  Who wouldn't pay $50,000 to listen to Palin speak.  (Has she inked her deal to appear in Playboy yet?)

And then there's the split between leader of the Neanderthals in the House, John—I'm crying as much as I can—Boehner,  and Republicant Sen. Bob Corker.  Boehner, who is petrified of the Neanderthal tea baggers, is absolutely, positively against raising taxes on the richest people in the universe.  No way it's gonna happen, according to Boehner.

But Corker is a bit more pragmatic, because everyone who isn't a tea bagging Neanderthal, knows you can't reach fiscal goals without MONEY.  Get It?  It costs MONEY to run a government.  Corker said Republicants would look at reforms that generate revenues.  That's a politician's way of gettin' around the dreaded T word. (taxes)

So what's a political party to do?  I dunno.  But watchin' All The Fightin' on the flat earth side of the world is immensely satisfying … and entertaining.  Let's hope they keep at it for years to come.

Watch Jon Stewart Make fun (again) of Faux News:

YOU TELL 'EM WAYNE

A ten month old baby was accidentally killed in Tennessee by his father.  Daddy was screwing around with one of his guns (a semi-automatic pistol) when it went off, hitting the infant.  The mother and two other sons, ages 2 and 3 weren't accidentally shot.  That father and mother and siblings will likely never know another day of peace in their lives.  Daddy will do some hard time.  Give him plenty of time to think. 

Guns don't kill babies, daddies kill babies.

***********************************

In Bellevue, Washington, a 50 year old man decided to kill himself during a gun safety class.  He shot himself in the head, an act witnessed by a number of others taking the class including children.  Guns don't shoot people in the head, people shoot their own selfs in the head.

**********************************

Kansas legislature just voted to allow open display of guns in the State Capital.  Good for them.  It’s time we had guns in the Nation's Capital and in the Supreme Court, too.  Protect your Second Amendment rights, send a message to those cowards in D.C. – tell 'em you want to see guns, lots of guns, in the Capital Building.  Sign our petition to allow GUNS AND MORE GUNS on the Senate floor.

********************************

The NRA claims gun sales are up since the mass murder of five and six year olds in Conn.  What they don't brag about is the fact that the number of people owning guns is at an all-time LOW.  

Whatsat mean?  

It means that guns are being sold to PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE GUNS. Gun ownership is DOWN as a percentage of the population.  There are more smart people than dumb people in the country, those who don't relish the idea of accidentally shooting and killing their kids ... like the father in Tennessee did.

***********************************

Feel safer cause you live in a Castle doctrine or Stand your ground state?  Think again.  Homicides are 10% HIGHER in those state.  

SO WHAT?  IF I TOLD YOU ONCE I TOLD YOU A MILLION TIMES ....

DO NOT CONFUSE ME WITH FACTS!!!!!!!!

We believe it ...

ST FRANCIS VS A RUSSIAN ATHEIST

The world's 1.7 billion Catholics now have a new pope – Pope Francis, a name chosen by Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio in honor of St Francis of Assisi, friend to the poor, birds and wolves.

Newly elected Pope Francis is from Argentina, the FIRST pope from the Americas.  We can all be proud of that, enough with the cranky old European popes. Time for – hopefully -- a non-cranky New Worlder pope, though he is 76 years … young … as they say in Vatican City.

Pope Francis has a history that doesn't comport with some American Catholics, Cafeteria Catholics, they're called, people like PAUL RYAN, people who pick and choose what parts of Catholicism they're gonna obey.

Pope Francis is a friend to the poor, the over-burdened, the put upon.  He lived with the poor, rode a bus to work rather than ride in a limo, and chose to live in a small apartment rather than the official fancy-schmancy church residence.

So what?  Who cares what some old Argentinian did?

Pope Francis' life is a threat to policies advocated by Cafeteria Catholics like Paul Ryan, and the rest of the flat earth, Republicant Neanderthals insistent on cutting programs for the poor, the middle-class and the elderly while giving even more advantages to the most advantaged in the society.  Ryan proposes lowering the top tax bracket by FIFTEEN PERCENTAGE POINTS, while raising the bottom by five points

Pope Francis would reject Ryan's budget just as the American Cardinals rejected Ryan's last budget.

It seems like more than a coincidence that the new pope was chosen just as Ryan's budget was released.  Unlike the new pope, Paul Ryan's hero isn't vow of poverty taker St. Francis.  Ryan's hero is a Russian atheist name Ayn Rand.  That's right, a RUSSIAN ATHEIST is Ryan's inspiriation.

Inspiration from a RUSSIAN ATHEIST. Wow.  Imagine that.  And Ryan's the Republicants' primary talking head when it comes to money matters.  Imagine, the Republicants are gittin' their marching orders from a RUSSIAN ATHEIST, rather than St Francis of Assisi.

Hard to figure.

In other gun news:  California is looking at ten new gun control measures that will make the Golden State the toughest state on gun ownership.  The Colorado house passed laws limiting clip sizes.  These states follow New York which already passed serious gun control measures.  The Republicant cowards in Washington may be ascart of the NRA but the states will do the job if the cowards won't.

I'll turn the other cheek after I blow your brains out.  Peace my ass.

D.O.A.

Remember Paul Ryan?  He ran for VP with Willard the Romney.  Remember?  Ryan couldn't even deliver his own State.  Obama carried Wisconsin by four points. 

But that didn't discourage Ryan, he's picked hisself up and dusted hisself off and he has just produced THE RYAN BUDGET. 

THE RYAN BUDGET   …  ooohhh, sounds exciting.

Bet you were holdin' your breath with anticipation.  Who wouldn't be interested in a budget produced by a man who has proven to be a BIG LOSER?

Ryan's budget is fascinating because it acts like the last election didn't happen.  That election where Obama ran on protecting the social safety net and raising taxes for billionaires.  Ryan ain't interested in stuff like that.  He's got his OWN IDEAS.  Ideas that were just rejected overwhelmingly by the American people.  Maybe you heard of them.  The American people, that is.

Ryan's most recent budget balances the books in only ten years, that's a whole lot better than the one he thought up that took 40 years to do the job.  He's gettin' closer.

Here's some of Ryan's dead-on-arrival budget proposals:

1. ·        Repeal Obamacare.  That ain't gonna happen, Pauly.
2. ·       Cut Medicare by $129 billion.  Gramma gets to shop with vouchers instead.
3. ·       Cut Medicaid by $757 billion
4. ·       Bushes Wars are finally ending but Ryan wants $500 billion more for defense
5. ·       Big Cuts to Pell Grants
6. ·       Cut the number of food inspectors.  Yeah, that's a good idea.
7. ·       Continues tax subsidies to oil and gas companies, the most prosperous businesses on the planet
8. ·       Huge cuts in corporate taxes though the US has the second lowest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world
9. ·       Lowering the tax rate on the highest earners to 25%

Wow.  What a plan.  Cut everything but defense and give more to those who already have the most.  Yeah, that'll work.

Unemployment down to 7.7%. DOW in record territory. S and P approaching record highs.

Republicants, flat earth angry Faux watchers and tea bagging Neanderthals are angry as hell.  They cain't understand how Muslim Socialist Obama does it.  According to what Faux and drug addict Limbaugh tells them everything should be terrible.  Wonder if they'll ever catch on, the  poor dim bastards.  Makes you almost pity the clueless dunces.
