Obama’s foreign policy report card – Salon.com

Subtitled: “You’d never know it from the MSM, but he deserves high grades for his work so far in Iran, Iraq and Pakistan”

Read this and feel better about having an adult in charge of this country. There are WAY too many Rethug talking heads screaming that the President isn’t running headlong into throwing soldiers into harm’s way on just a gut feeling.

I normally don’t wish too much ill on even cretins, but I hope any kids those Republicans have in service get a mild case of bullet in the leg for all their gung-ho idiot bullshit.

Oh wait, Republicans don’t serve in the military, they just pretend to do it and cheer from the sidelines. I don’t mind Obama actually thinking through a problem that may require American soldiers to die. And I don’t mind him finding ways to not resolve every problem with conflict.

Wood: Not the renewable energy some had in mind – Monday, Nov. 9, 2009 | 2 a.m. – Las Vegas Sun

Here in Nevada we aren’t quite onboard the renewable energy thing yet. I mean, today is the first cloudy day we’ve had in quite awhile. We get A LOT of sun here. We also get a fair amount of wind. Up north there are quite a bit of geothermal resources which, admittedly, are getting somewhat used.

So, we’ve got some mandates to get our grid on more renewables. Is there a new solar array in the hojillion square miles of unused government land out there? No. How about vast farms of wind turbines? Not so much.

No, our energy company’s solution to global warming is to…wait for it…mix wood chips with the coal.

Yeah! Problem solved. Oh wait, one thing: we live in a FREAKING DESERT! We don’t HAVE quick growing forests on the edge of town to exploit. We barely have any trees as it is.

Christ, they MUST be Republicans over there at NV Energy. Idiiots.

Carrie Prejean Abruptly Leaves Larry King Interview – Yahoo! TV Blog

Republicans are idiots. When they aren’t electing – or trying to elect – failed fighter pilots, they are choosing cheerleaders and failed pageant morons as their “leaders”.

Case in point. Hot on the heels of her revelation of having a porn tape, bigoted ex-Miss California Carrie Prejean can’t handle a question by Larry King.

Larry is like, what?, 80? What possible thing could he say or do to offend anyone beyond trying to make you the next ex-Mrs. Larry King?

Anyway, enjoy the stupidity.

Catholic Church gives D.C. ultimatum on same-sex marriage issue – washingtonpost.com

This is why I don’t go to church anymore. The Catholic Church is threatening to shut down all it’s social services in D.C. if the city approves same sex marriage.

You won’t feed the poor if gays are allowed to marry? Wow, what cretins.

Actually, I hope this is how it goes. I hope every bigoted “Christian” organization in this nation runs hard to the right wing and turns off common sense decent Americans. That way, the only churches left should be morally responsible ones. Or so I hope.

I caught part of this interview with Episcopalian Bishop Eugene Robinson today that focused a bit on the subject. At one point, some hate-filled caller phoned in arguing some bizarre theory that gays can’t be married because they aren’t different. By that logic, I say we ban marriage between people of the same religion or even race. You know, because different genders are as relevant as either of those and many other things, right?
