Abraham Lincoln Reborn As A Vampire Slayer : NPR
Yet another review for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Like I’ve said before, it was a pretty good read. Implausible, but the author has been very clear on that from the get-go. Just the fact that he weaved a tale that could just almost be believable was a damn good piece of work.
Indiana man charged in plot contests indictment – Chicago Breaking News
Actually, read the comments. The amount of work by people try to either excuse away these Christian terrorists is obscene. Face it, these nitwits are self-described Christian militiamen and -women. The media isn’t hyping this up: the group itself wants to initiate “Armageddon”.
It isn’t hyperbole, it is reporting the story.
Yes, some Christians are nice, decent people. Probably the majority. And some are racist bastards. And others are “family values” politicians who wash each others feet, cheat on their wives, try to sleep with young boys, and watch lesbian bondage shows on their donor’s dime. And others want to kill a bunch of cops and start a holy war within our borders.
Republicans say they have a big tent. Sadly, most of them are circus clowns, hypocrites and terrorists.
YouTube – How To Tell People They Sound Racist
Some good advice on confronting folks saying racist stuff, whether they mean to or not. Basically, try to take the high road and be smart about it.
On TripAdvisor, Reviews Mixed for Schrute Farms – NYTimes.com
I gotta be honest. The art-imitating-life-passing-as-real-due-to-the-internet thing may have hit a high point with the Shrute Farm B&B listing. This is pretty funny actually.
Facts About A Palin Presidency
This is cringe worthy as a thought but hilarious to read.
Some I found funny:
“God will tell President Palin to invade Canada in order to save Canadians from universal health care insurance.”
“Holding true to the tenants of the TEA Party movement, Sarah Palin vows to repeal the nation’s many unearned and undeserved entitlement programs, starting with the Bill of Rights.”
“Sarah Palin is serious about limiting the size of government, and plans to do her part by quitting halfway through her first term.”
“Palin will not allow ‘government death panels’; instead, she will force poor people to die without the intervention of the state.”
Bonus entry:
“Sarah Palin will sign an Executive Order changing the official name of the Presidency of Barack Obama to the “Socialist Hope-y Change-y” era, infuriating Texas state school board officials, who will then be forced to approve history books which admit that Obama was ever actually in fact President.”
Nine Christian Militia Members Charged With Seditious Conspiracy, Attempted Use Of WMD | TPMMuckraker
Onward Christian (bigoted, racist, anti-American) Soldiers!
Many sources on this, but Talking Points Memo has got a good lead on this.
So far, nine “Christian” militia members have been charged with sedition. More on their activites, including videos advocating armed revolt.
NPR is covering the story, complete with pro-militia commenters. You know, “violence = free speech” and other insane conservative BS. (Want any proof NPR has been taken over by the lunatic right? Read this crap.)
Juan Cole does a more rational job in covering the dangers of this round in the militia movement.
Rachel Maddow has some info on this and continues on the blog with other related stories.
Here is the local Detroit News article, with some tongue-in-cheek followup concerning the group’s name.
And, since this is probably the tip of the iceberg, more on how this is just the beginning of a trend of hatred by so-called Christians.
News: Pres. Signs H-Care Insurance Mandate-212 Years Ago! – Paul J. O’Rourke – Open Salon
All that Tea Bagger talk about how it’s supposedly unconstitutional to mandate that people get health insurance? Yeah, um, tell that to the original “socialist” President, John Adams, who made all sailors – even the private company employed ones – sign onto the plan.
Seeing as he had some say into the original framing of the Constitution, I think he had a better sense of what is or is not constitutional than your average racist southerner. Right?
Joe the Plumber goes off on McCain, says he ‘screwed up my life’ – The Hill’s Blog Briefing Room
Joe the (unlicensed/tax cheat/wife beater) Plumber now says he was used and is pissed about it.
Alright, let’s look at this. First you asked Barack Obama about the possibility of how much taxes you would have to pay if you magically started making millions a year owning your own business. Seeing as you were pulling down something in the mid-40k range at the time, it was a big stretch. Then McCain, grasping for anything, put you on stage across America. You were on TV. You got to lie to millions. Hell, you were even some form of war reporter.
I’d saw you made the most of a situation you’d have NEVER gotten into by being a Klucker-looking lying sociopath. And now you’re bitching about it?
Go away Joe. You bother me.
So my brother just forwarded me this e-mail… : politics : reddit
From Reddit, a self post regarding some scare tactic treason babble email a guy got from his brother. Read it, it is instructive of how bizarre of conspiracy theories the hard reich wing can come up.
In the comments however, is the following gem:
– comment by takatori:
You know, that gets me thinking. I mean, it’s all so clear if you just think it through.
* Glenn Beck’s initials are G.B. He supports the Republicans.
* Republican President George Bush’s initials are G.B. He used to snort cocaine.
* Gary Busey used to (still does?) snort cocaine, and his initials are G.B. He’s crazy.
* A lot of crazy people live in England, which is part of Great Britain. Its initials are also G.B.
* Great Britain is where Karl Marx died. His initials are K.M.
* Kilometers are abbreviated as “KM”. Kilometers were used in the Soviet Union.
* The Soviet Union based its economy on Karl Marx. Its initials are S.U.
* The United States’ initials are U.S. The opposite of S.U.Do you see what this means? Fill in the dots, people!
Glenn Beck supports–George Bush’s–crazy plan–to reunify with Great Britain–convert to the metric system–bring back Karl Marx–and the Soviet Union–in its opposite–the United States.
Don’t you people see? Glenn Beck … (sorry, I’m getting little emotional)…
Glenn Beck … IS A COMMUNIST!
Also in the comments, the ONLY US President to take guns out of the hands of it’s citizens….is George W. Bush.
