It's Not My Fault! The Monkey Did it!

The Monkey spread the Obama hating virus.

Socialism According to Monty Python Quiz

I came across this Monty Python sketch.  I figured neo-cons sound dumber and dumber each day with their fears of Big Bad Socialism, I thought I would post this little quiz show.



See? Socialism can be fun! 

Saturday Night Brain Drain Fun #7 - GOP Unhappy disfunctional Family; Lost without Georgie

It's been a few days since I posted anything here. I wish I could say I was doing something constructive, but, I'd be lying. In all honesty, I've been spending too much time on Twitter as of late. It's morbid curiosity; I often wonder if these twits realize how idiotic they sound.


I've also been having issues with blogger lately. I decided to give my page a make-over, because I really didn't like the other template. After I changed it, it wouldn't let me post anything new.


First, here's a goody from Crooks and Liars


The GOP, hell, Neo-Cons in general don't seem to be very happy people do they? To Neo-Cons, Bad news is Good news & vice-versa. They feed off the misfortune of others. Remember how deliriously happy they were when Chicago lost the Olympic bid?  Just like the Adams family, who liked all things gloomy like thunderstorms, dolls with missing heads and when the stock market would go down,  the GOP and other Neo-Cons like it when things go wrong in America & hate it when something actually goes well.


In the video below, Bill Maher points out how the Republicans over the past year seem arguably more ridiculous without Georgie than with Georgie. He also points out how stupid Neo-cons have been brainwashed.




When we look back, the irony here is although Georgie is long gone and The Republicans don't even have a majority in Congress or senate, but somehow,  in their efforts to remain legitimate, they must prove themselves more ridiculous. Like Stevie Harpo, they all seem to be lost without Georgie.


Oh, speaking of Georgie, his Daddy just crawled out of the wood work recently to call Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann "sick puppies", for poking fun at his boy...wow! Daddy still has to fight for his 60-something son.  Ok Daddy-O, go back to retirement now. 


Funny how none of them can stand up to the Limbeck machine or the Tea-baggers, given the tea-baggers are planning  to execute a hostile take-over of the GOP.

Happy Saturday Night!

Now We Get Why Tea-baggers are sooo Afraid of Health Care Reform

Neo Cons on Obama Nobel Prize: Tea-Baggers Hostile Take-over of the GOP--Thanksgiving Edition of Brain Drain Fun--Revised

Top eight Neo-con Attacks on Barack Obama winning the 

Nobel Peace Prize, from Huffington Post

Agree or disagree with the decision to award Pres. Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize,  these notable Neo-cons will always find ways of making bigger asses of themselves. Some you've heard.

8. That famous Rush Limbaugh line about the Taliban: "Something has happened here that we all agree with the Taliban and Iran about and that is he doesn't deserve the award.

- Oh Rush, who's the traitor now?  I'd be happy to send you to Iran...by row-boat!

7. Now for some convaluded logic and wishful thinking (although, sadly, looking more real) from Bill Kristol: "Obama will be kicked out in 2012, based on the fact that the Soviet Union collapsed a year after Mikhail Gorbachev won a Nobel Peace Prize. "

-Billy Boy! If we were to use your logic, Obama would not only be kicked out in 2012; but the U.S. would collapse. Where would you go, then, you bungling fool? 

6. Here's a goody from Glenn Beck, every neo-con's God. This one is particularly funny: "Obama doesn't deserve the prize, but the Tea Party protesters do." He credited an "extraordinarily powerful" global progressive network for bagging Obama the win."

-well, Glenn may have a point about the Tea-bagger's hit-parade; they did show up without guns.

5. Erick Erickson, playing that ol' race card; crying affirmative action here: "President Obama must have been picked to meet some Nobel Peace Prize "affirmative action quota."

-Yes, Erick everytime they award a black man, an angel gets his/her wings

4.  John Bolton, Mr. Mustache here looks like he forgot to take that metamucil in his pic: obviously still sore about not getting confirmed as ambassador to the U.N. He offers nothing interesting unfortunately; just says Obama should have turned down the prize. But go to the site and look at his pic: it just screams alot more than a cheesy mustache, constipation and sour grapes.

3. National Review's Andy McCarthy says the prize is already damaged goods, because Yasser Arafat once won it.

-Well, if the prize is damaged goods, why should he care who wins it from here on out?  Me thinks he's damaged goods.

2. Limbaugh, again: never satisfied not being the biggest ass-hole, so, here's another brilliant quip of his: told Newsweek that "the Nobel gang just suicide-bombed themselves."

- Do I really need to elaborate here?  Maybe he wished he'd done it first.

1. Brian Kilmeade: "wonders whether Obama delayed his decision on sending more troops to Afghanistan to win the Nobel."

-Help me out here: delaying his decision to send more troops to win the Nobel? Hmm!  If  Obama's only ambition was to win the peace prize and use whatever stategy to win: wouldn't it have just made more sense to bring home all the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq?

Here's my favourite attack thus far;  from this wingnut, Dick Morris: 

"The Nobel Prize to Obama: Europe's Bid to re-colonize America": the title of his blog. He seems to think the Norwegians nominated Obama because, get this, Europe needs to conquer the  U.S. in order for European socialism to work. Click the above link to read the rest of his insanity. It is quite entertaining.

Funny, I always thought European countries under socialist governments were doing quite well without the U.S. After all, didn't Norway come first in a U.N. study not long ago?? 

Sad, but even worse, Right-winge Canadian talk-radio hosts just aren't much better. Speaking of Which...

Ryan Doyle's New Buddy

Remember that red-neck host of Toronto's CFRB I'd been ranting about? Well, the evening following his inaccurate and hateful  review of Michael Moore's new movie, ever so proudly announcing that non other than Sean Hannaty was his new ally. 

We all know how credible ol' Sean is don't we? Go view the videos at Red Tory's blog here and the third video will be here. After viewing all the videos, all I saw was an excitable Hannaty with Michael Moore remaining calm and laughing at him during various rants.

Congratz Ryan, now you're like Sean. Time to graduate to Rush  Limbaugh now, boy. 

Tea-baggers Planning Hostile Take over 

...of the GOP

Well, according to Politico, the Tea-Baggers have certainly been busy. In addition to wanting to oust the Obama government in anyway possible, they are also attempting a hostile take-over of the GOP. 

"...tea party forces are confronting the Republican establishment by backing insurgent conservatives and generating their own candidates — even if it means taking on GOP incumbents."

You see, Dick Armey, a former GOP congressman, chairman of the anti-tax and limited government advocacy group FreedomWorks, which helped plan and promote the tea parties, town hall protests and the September ‘Taxpayer March’ in Washington has a problem with certain Incumbent Republican centrists remaining in power.  Long story short: like the bible, they are just not conservative enough:  

“If you can’t take it seriously, we will look for places of other employment for you.”

They want to back insurgent conservatives and generate their own candidates: 

Ah, here once again, is Erick Erickson! (I do wonder if that's his real name?): 

“Grass-roots activists need to start infiltrating the party,” said Erickson. “The only way to start getting [the establishment] back is to start pounding them with every fist we have.” 

Well, he is going easy on the GOP: he's only going to go after them with his fists:  his tea-bagger friends show up to Democrat Town Hall meetings with guns.

Happy Turkey Day, All!

Saturday Night Brain Drain Fun Update #5!

Brain Drain Fun Update: 

Remember leftake.com's contest for snarky book titles for Sawah's new Book?? Bill Maher comes up with a few in the video below. Some doozies too, from Crooks & Liars.

Sawah & Orly Should never write: They should date Conservatively--Saturday Night Brain Drain Fun #5:

Saturday Night Brain Drain Fun #5


Dating Conservatively

Well, I thought I would add a Canadian feature this week before heading to, once again, American Right Wing: a group no one can seem to get enough of.


Conservative Dating Service-CHarmony, because being a Neo-con in Canada or in the U.S. must be lonely sometimes: Here's a spoof of an ad which was posted to so many blogs this week, with good reason. However, we must remember that most good humour is derived from truth. I really do wonder if this is how 'wholesome' conservatives mate:



Now onto the Americans:

"Sarah Palin? She's A Dope! Write A Book? She Can't Read A Book!" Don Imus (you all remember that racist shock jock don't you?) from Crooks & Liars

Sarah Palin wrote a book & is set for release in November but already sold many copies on Amazon.com. In my Birthday edition of Brain Drain Fun, I took a guess at what the story would be:  a very short one; the other 399 pages would be all pictures.


Well, it seems there are other goodies I never would have guessed in this book. Probably should have added her geography lesson October, 2008: she called Afghanistan “our neighboring country”. Almost forgot about that one. Gee, who needs geography class when we got Sawah Pawin??


Also, David Letterman features Sawah's top 10 tips for writing a book: Watch the video below: 




Incidentally, Leftake.com is having a contest to retitle Sawah's book: Going Rogue: An American Life. They think there are much 'snarkier' title choices & are opening the forum.


Last but certainly not least: the Left's most entertaining wingnut of all time: 
It's ORLY time!!
Well, if we remember correctly, Orly Taitz's client, Connie Rhodes dumped her sorry ass  (background of the Connie Rhodes case here) before taking off to Iraq. The Zsa-Zsa Gabor wannabe accused Judge Land of Treason.  Judge Land gave her two weeks to show cause why he shouldn't fine her 10, 000$ for her conduct. Well, this how she responded: She says Judge Land should recuse himself: here are just two of her crazy rantings in this motion: 
"There is some circumstantial evidence that Judge Clay D. Land may have had extrajudicial and ex-parte contacts with the Obama administration, in particular from Attorney General Eric Holder."


Also:  "A preliminary review of the results of the Honorable Judge Clay D. Land’s public disclosures concerning his investments, it also appears to the undersigned that Judge Land may be disqualified because he has equity ownership of certain securities (e.g. Microsoft and Comcast) which are aligned both politically and economically with a key Defendant in this case, namely the de facto President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, in such a direct and personal way that it could be said that this Judge has a financial stake in the outcome of the former Plaintiff Captain Connie Rhodes’ original case-in-chief."


Funny she would be convinced Judge Land would be in bed with President Obama, given he is a Bush appointee: a Republican. 


According to Texdude from Daily Kos, she even used the phrase, "Batshit Crazy" in her motion. Here is a copy of her motion. In this article, Texdude says that in his 27 years of practising law, he has never seen anything like this.


I wouldn't be surprised if this judge recuses himself simply to save his own mental health; hell, maybe even take sick leave.


Well, that is tonight's edition of Saturday Night Brain Drain Fun, except to say that given rumours of Sawah & Todd splitting & that Orly so obviously has way too much time on her hands, perhaps they should find mates. Perhaps try C-Harmony. But, then, they would both be probably matched up with Dan Quayle, assuming he is still alive, of course.  Oh, wait!! Why should it matter if he's dead or alive? The brain never really clicked. Brain dead would be perfect for those two!!

News Flash! Sawah Pawin can wite! Special Edition of Brain Drain Fun!

So Sawah Pawin is coming out with a book. WOW!! She'd been working on it since resigning as Governor. Must be a very short book indeed, I mean, where did she find the time to learn to write so quickly? Well, folks, if you see any words written in capital letters, don't ask; probably typed out by none other than SUZY ALLCAPSLOCK, herself.


I usually don't do Brain Drain Fun during the week, but what the hell, it's my Birthday & when you're a cranky tired old gen-exer, Birthdays don't tend to be fun anymore & it doesn't really take much to entertain myself. So here is a Brain Drain Fun moment. Besides, sometimes, certain rules are just made to be broken.


For tonight's Brain Drain Fun, I'm going to venture what the contents of Sarah Palin's book just might be: 

Hello, boys & girls; let me tell you a story.
I lived in a little town called Wasilla, Alaska. You know where that is: you can see Russian from the front porch!
I was the prettiest girl in all the land. So pretty, I won the Miss Wasilla pageant. But then, something terrible happened. I wasn't the prettiest girl in Alaska. Two other girls were prettier than me. NOT FAIR!!
I went to...lesseee....(counting on her fingers) .....5; yeah! 5 colleges. I flunked out of the other 4 because I couldn't spell the school names correctly. But I did it!! In only 6 years too!!
I went on TV to do a show about sports.
I married a prince named Todd.
I like guns & nobody better take mine away! I like to hunt & ride my snowmobile... the bigger, the more pollution, the better! YAY!!
I eat moose hamburgers...vegetarians are villains!
I have 5 children.
My oldest girl, Bristol is a verrrry bad girl! She went out out with a bad boy named Levi & they made a baby! They sinned! Will God forgive us all?
I met an old man named John McCain. He asked me to be vice-president!
Oh, & let me teach you something: The difference between a hockey mom & a pit-bull is lipstick!
I learned about a big store called Niemen Marcus. It was fun!
Some bad people bothered me. 
Some mean French radio hosts from...uh lessee now...uh...I think....Montreal played a mean trick on me. They pretended to be the president of France. How was I supposed to to know the president of France didn't speak English?
There was a mean lady called Tina Fey. She was jealous of me, so she pretended to be me.
Then we lost to a very bad man named Barack Hussein Obama.
John McCain wasn't very nice to me no more: he wouldn't even let me talk on TV.
Some bad people came to Alaska to take away all my new princess clothes.
More bad people bothered me.
Levi the bad boy who took my little girl's innocence away told bad things about me to a magazine.
More bad people bothered me. I couldn't be governor no more...too many bad people. ... 
Bad Barack Obama wants to set up a death panel so everybody in all the land can get free health care.
I want to be president to rule the world 2012. Yeah, I'll show 'em. I'll show all these mean people who bothered me & teased me.
That, boys & girls is how we live a good life. Go to a Protestant church;  eat wild meat, don't eat vegetables, don't touch each other.  Polar bears are not part of the endangered species list. Always remember your fwend, Sawah Pawin.

The End

See? Nothin' to it. Memoirs: that would imply memory & memory would require some cognitive function.

If anybody has anything they would like to add, speculating about this book, please post them in the comments section.

I think for the week-end brain drain fun, I may throw together pictures that might be in that book. We'll see.

The Twit-Laureate of Twitter--Glenn Beck


Anyone know that Glenn Beck was a poet?? No really! Huffington Post explores that here through his Tweets. A must read! 

Happy Saturday to All!!

Smart & Stupid Media: Fun Map Games: YAY Socialism! Sunday Brain Drain Fun

Now For Some Sunday Brain Drain Fun

Well, I was going to start a series stemming from last Saturday night's blog & call it Saturday night Brain Drain Fun, but due to other obligations, I had to put it off to today & make an exception & call today's second week, "Sunday Brain Drain Fun". Where I would collect some really silly quotes, videos & pictures & accompany it with some commentary.

Speaking of which, the American Right wing movement seems to be the gift that keeps on giving to progressive bloggers. So today's posting will continue with the American Right.

Remember the Tea-bagger's hit parade where they were protesting Gov't run programs, taxes & everything else that stands for any improvements??

Well, as Congressman Kevin Brady (R-Texas) as their spokesman, they were whining about the Government run Washington Metro system just wasn't up to their standards. Ed Schultz from MSNBC's The Ed Show had something to say about this one in the video below:

 

Oh, & there is the sighting of the first Black woman in this  Tea-Party. Of course, she may well have been hired by any one of those same PR firms that sent plants to instigate riots at those town hall meetings over the summer to show everyone they're really not racist.
As anyone can see, Ed Schultz is certainly on the right track here.
Let's go further & have these tea-baggers & other Neo-Cons sign this pledge, courtesy of PZ Myers of  scienceblogs.com

The Teabagger Socialist-Free Purity Pledge

I, ________________________________, do solemnly swear to uphold the principles of a socialism-free society and heretofore pledge my word that I shall strictly adhere to the following:

SWORN ON A BIBLE AND SIGNED THIS DAY OF ____________ IN THE YEAR ______________.___________________________ ___________________________
Signed Printed Name/Town and State

I'm wondering if I should have made the font red when I copied & pasted this? Speaking of the colour red,  anyone ever notice the colour of the Republican party is exactly the same colour that represents communism? Makes one think, doesn't it??


 Remember on Friday, CNN's Rick Sanchez confronting Fox News? Here's the video from   Unrepentant Old Hippie's Blog

Notice how Rick Sanchez says CNN  reports the news & not promote it? Well, it appears a producer from Fox News was caught on camera leading the tea-bagger rally on!

Isn't this an example of Promoting the event rather than reporting it? The girl in the green sweater with her arms up in the air is an assistant producer of Fox News. 
The picture is from Huffington Post. Two videos are also available on their page.


Now, Joe Wilson (R for Redneck from Sath Carolanee) who is REALLY lying now?? 
Rachel Maddow points out that it is the great liar's state who can stand to benefit from health care reform the most in her little game of :"Magic Map trick"
