Another sign of the recession: rest stops are closing up across America.
Face it, when states can’t even afford to let visitors easily take a pee break, we’ve got some financial issues to fix in this country. And meanwhile, governors across America are trying to reject stimulus money and instead focus on cheating on their wives or just plain quitting their jobs to go fishing.
Genius!
Frank Rich uses his pointed righteous indignation for good intent and correctly reams Palin for aiding in destroying what little prestige the GOP had left.
Look, because they coddle racists and have the platform of a pack of drunken frat boys, I have no desire to ever vote Republican. That said, this country needs at least two parties to not become led by complete asshats, so someone had better get rid of these racist, anti-American Talibangelicals and get their fiscal conservative asses back in the driver’s seat over there.
And Caribou Barbie ain’t what’s going to get you back on track folks.
The GOP would like you to believe that racism is dead. That the Klan is no more and there is no threat against those of a different color, creed, or religion in this country.
But your average Palinite rally last fall put the lie to that nonsense.
Check out these photos from LIFE on the lives of America’s racist, Nazi-loving, GOP-voting hardcore. A collection of similar pics from the photographer is here.
Bent on screwing up the Fourth of July, crackpot separatists took over tea parties to espouse their hateful anti-American views.
As usually, they get help from FAUXNews, who just recently had a show host angrily fume on how we don’t keep the races “pure” here in the United States.
Here is more on how even fringe anti-American GOP pols get booed at Texas tea parties.
Genius! Thanks for stoking the anger of all those traitors. Let’s genuinely hope it doesn’t come back to bit us, even the Republican bastards.
For some reason, I read random how-to articles. I’ve got a couple email related ones to share with you today.
For your consideration, here is one related to better email etiquette, which you have to admit is probably something we ALL need a refresher on.
The other is strictly tied to Google Mail, which I use a lot, and comes in a series of tips at increasing levels of difficulty.
Give them a look. You’ll probably learn a few things you can put to use right away.
Guess I’ll make this how-to thing yet another trendline for the blog.
For the Fourth, NPR posted a handy article on making the perfect burger. Granted, opinions and tastes vary, but I found it a good article.
Less useful but more entertaining as a memory artifact is this article on how to open a beer bottle with a Bic lighter. Granted, I don’t smoke anymore and used a Zippo or matches when I did, but this is a skill that should not die in the modern era. Enjoy.
I am a lifelong Republican. What can I do about the continued insanity? The GOP has absolutely fallen apart and I don’t know if we can salvage it or fix it? Who votes for people like this woman? She is simply irrational. I am tired of being the butt of jokes from the left. We must find intelligent people. We cannot continue to elect cretins like this and make any headway. Why are our leaders getting more stupid and less qualified every election year? I just don’t get it. Where are the Buckleys? Where are the reasonable people?

I actually feel bad for the woman quoted above. She was posting on this story about Insane Sociopath Michelle Bachmann, Republican of course, who wants to kill the annual mini-census. Presumably this is in line with her desire to kill the census – and eventually democracy – altogether.
But seriously, Republicans, why do you vote for these idiots? There has to be someone, anyone better. Y’all need to step it up or quit the profession.
