Good one at Driftglass about the ever-ratcheting-up right wing crazy we’re seeing more and more of. It’s a commentary of sorts kicked off by the video in my previous post where Tweety eviscerates a GOP congressdouche for “feeding the whacko wing of his party”. However, driftglass makes the keen observation that the party itself is the whacko wing:
In the years between the first days of Reagan and the last days of Clinton, it had become received wingnut wisdom that Democrats — all Democrats — were gay commie monsters who needed to be destroyed at any cost, by any means, and screw the consequences. And as election strategies and results ever since show with absolute clarity, GOP officeholders like Representative Gigglepants know perfectly well the truth that dare speak its name: that the “nut wing” is the Party[snip]
The more havoc Republicans wreak, the more their base rewards them because the GOP is now mostly made up of zealot Christopaths, bigots, moral imbeciles, gun nuts and the generally cactus-fuck-crazy scum of the nation.
By no means am I nervous, but it certainly is interesting watching the right-wing hysteria ramping up to new levels of surrealistic absurdity. It’s really a mixed bag, as it’s really ridiculous that the Very Serious People in the Media continue to air this stuff as though it has some sort of merit, but the upside to that is it’s alienating more and more people, hopefully leaving the GOP in the political wilderness for decades to come. Now if someone could just put a good size 12 up the ass of the Dems, we might make a bit of progress.
The world’s oldest man and one of the last remaining WW I vets has died in England. It’s astounding to think how much this man has seen in his lifetime, most of which we’re lucky to see half as much sometimes. He’s got a great secret that all of us men who wish to live long can learn from:
Allingham, who was the world’s oldest man when he died Saturday at 113, attributed his remarkable longevity to “cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women.”
Admittedly, I haven’t been too news-oriented these past few days, with the job loss and awesome camping trip I did this weekend, but it seems there’s a lot of bitching going on about the potential costs of Obama’s healthcare plan. Where were all these people when the wars were launched? Seemed like a blank check was available then. Now, all of a sudden it’s a problem?
Well, after 15 years at my current company, I have now officially been downsized. So now I’m doing what any normal person would do… going camping for the weekend. More when I get back. If I can somehow figure out a way to blame this all on minorities, gays or the godless, I might hafta start voting GOP.
Remember Victoria Jackson, from 80′s Saturday Night Live, who usually played a ditzy airhead? Yeah, don’t worry, most of us don’t either. Turns out the ditzy airhead thing isn’t an act. Almost makes Palin look smart by comparison.
because when it comes down to it, I really don’t care.
PZ’s got a quick rundown on the so-called “psychics” who are already talking to Jackson over here.
But the best thing is really in the comments:
As you know, Farah Fawcett died.
Well, she went to heaven and met St. Peter. He said, “You were a kind, beautiful and talented person. We don’t usually do this but if there is something you would like I will try to arrange it.”
She said, “I would like for all of the children in the world to be safe and happy.”
The next day Michael Jackson died of unknown causes.
