Excerpts from the debait

Posted by Tengrain January 27th, 2012

Some pithy commentary on the Twitter, or Who Moved My Moon Cheese

  • Another debate? I’m still hungover from the last one.
  • Willard It’s class warfare to accuse me of taking my money off-shore!
  • Noot: I want a tax as flat as Willard’s head.
  • Frothy: Reagan! Drink up!
  • Goldbug – Ayn Rand lives!
  • MOON COLONIES!
  • Willard – Can I off-shore my wealth on the moon?
  • Noot: Captain Kirk will not be the first lover in space!
  • Frothy – Forget outter space, let’s talk about inner-space like uteruses…
  • Houston, we have a problem.
  • Noot: But… but… Lt. Deanna Troy was so hot…
  • Frothy – get our fiscal house in order because we’ll need it for all that home schooling.
  • Frothy – To help you, lady, you need to find a man and start popping out his spawn.
  • Frothy is getting all twitching and keeps saying Mandate. Hubba-hubba!
  • Goldbug – When I started medicine we had leeches!
  • Willard – I’m Mexican, kinda.
  • Will Callista be the Third Lady? Stay Tuned!
  • Noot – First Lady? No More Gotcha Questions!
  • Noot: Callista has great breath control, if you know what I mean.
  • Frothy – I am straight married.
  • Callista knows how to blow the French Horn, baby. That’s hot.
  • Damn, can you imagine how fun the moon colony discussion would be if Bachmann were still here?
  • “Are you single?” — Noot
  • Willard – I’m not going to talk about baptizing dead people again.
  • I need to know Bachmann’s position on Moon Colonies, and I need to know it NOW!
  • I’ve said it before: I have no objection to Noot wanting to go to the moon; it’s the return trip that bums me out.
  • Noot is figuring out which crater will have the Tiffany’s.

Someone got paid for this

  • The kids are gonna be OK - The incoming freshman of 2011 are trending liberal with 71% in favor of marriage equality, and 61% are pro-choice. The GOP has already lost, they are just thrashing around like dinosaurs in tar. (Bloomberg)

RIP, B9

Dick Tufeld, a longtime radio and TV announcer who intoned “Danger, Will Robinson!” as the voice of the Robot in the 1960s science-fiction TV series “Lost in Space,” has died. He was 85.

B9 was the name of the Robot, though I don’t think that they ever called him that.

Our favorite (GOP) staff-banging serial adulterer is winning 80% of the felons in Duke Cunningham’s cell block! (Voice of San Diego)
  • Secret plan revealed! - That frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter Rick Santorum–who earned a B.A. with honors in political science from Pennsylvania State University in 1980, an M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1981, and a J.D. with honors from the Dickinson School of Law in 1986–says that the reason that the Kenyan Usurper Hawaiian Devil Baby Barack Obama wants to send kids to college is to indoctrinate them into being liberals. Worked for Frothy. (The Hill)
  • Race relations - Bob’s Big Boy doppleganger and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie thinks that having citizens vote for their civil rights (or against them) is a dandy idea: “I think people would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South,” and that’s why he wants to have New Jersey vote to prevent gays and lesbians from getting married, you know, to make it fair.

This Week in Republican Idiocy

Posted by Axel Grease January 25th, 2012

Republicans saying anything intelligent or compassionate is about as common as the Pope wearing a condom.  However these past few days, the GOP and the Teabaggers have gone out of their way to show their idiocy, nastiness and disdain of anything humane can always reach a new low.

  • Rep. Darrell Issa of California was outraged that Obama stated in his SOTU that companies should have to inform the public what chemicals they are dumping into the ground.
  • Sen. Mike Lee of Utah protested this point from the SOTU – Obama suggesting we not let kids drop out of school until they’re 18.  ”That’s none of his business!…These are matters for state and local government.”
  • Presidential candidate and 15%-tax payer Mitt Romney: “Well, the banks aren’t bad people. They’re just overwhelmed right now.”
  • State Sen. Ralph Shortey of Oklahoma introduced a bill in the state legislature “prohibiting the sale or manufacture of food or products which contain aborted human fetuses” even though he is not aware of this occurring in Oklahoma or anywhere.  Shortey cited research he did on the internet.
  • Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich stated that US would have a base on the moon by the end of this second term.
  • Mayor Joseph Maturo of East Haven, CT said he “might have tacos when I go home” when asked by WPIX reporter Mario Diaz what he would do for the Latino community.
  • Rep. Jeff Fortenberry introduced the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act to ensure that all providers can back out of contraception coverage if they claim religious objection. Fortenberry claimed that birth control “is unrelated to the basic needs of health care” and Obama was bailing out Planned Parenthood
  • Romney (again):  “I released two years of taxes and I think the average is almost 15 percent. And then also, on top of that, I gave another more 15 percent to charity. When you add it together with all of the taxes and the charity, particularly in the last year, I think it reaches almost 40 percent that I gave back to the community.” Romney (who thinks corporations are people, and people like him are corporations) justifies that his rate on the fact that capital gains are taxed twice, first on the corporate level and then when distributed.  Romney also wants you to think his donations to the church are actually a tax
  • Presidential candidate and complete douchebag Rick Santorum claimed that the president’s decision to de-emphasize abstinence programs suggests that Obama wants “people to be in poverty.”
  • Gingrich (again) claimed his multiple affairs “make me more normal than somebody who wanders around seeming perfect” because he can understand “the human condition and challenges of life for normal people.”
  • Colorado Republicans are preparing to expand gun rights, bringing back legislation that would allow concealed weapons in schools (including elementary) and let businesses use deadly force against intruders.
  • Santorum (again) explained that sexual assault (rape) victims should “accept this horribly created” pregnancy because it is “nevertheless a gift in a very broken way” and that, when it comes down to it, a victim just has “to make the best of a bad situation“
  • Hal Rounds of the Tennessee Teabaggers stated that the group wants to introduce a proposal to remove references to minorities in American history textbooks, along with any negative portrayals of the wealthy white men who led the nation in the early years. He further added that the group wants to address “an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another.

Notable theocrat and successful baby mill operator, the girl with the far-away eyes Michele Bachmann sort of announced that she is running for re-election to congress. And then in the style that only 1-L can do, she retracts it!

“I, very — yes, I believe I’ll be looking at that, very seriously looking at coming back for a fourth term.”

Pop Quiz!

Posted by Tengrain January 25th, 2012

A bill introduced in the Oklahoma Legislature: “No person or entity shall manufacture or knowingly sell food or any other product intended for human consumption which contains aborted human fetuses in the ingredients or which used aborted human fetuses in the research or development of any of the ingredients.”

“I don’t know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be. What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here.”

–State Sen. Ralph Shortey, a Republican from Oklahoma City

I’m only guessing of course, but I think this gets filed under Stirring up the Mouth-breathing Paste-eating Xristian Xrazies. It must be Shortey’s re-election gambit, and I’m shocked that The Girl With The Far-Away Eyes One-L has not thought of this.

Anyway, it’s been a while since we had a Pop Quiz, so here we go: For 1 point counting towards your final exam tell a Dead Baby Joke in the comments.

“As horrible as the way that that son or daughter and son was created [rape -TG], it still is her child. And whether she has that child or doesn’t, it will always be her child. And she will always know that.

I don’t know how I missed this one. So, according to Frothy, when God gives you rape, make lemonade?

  • Rebuttals - Hey guys, did you know that the Kenyan Usurper Hawaiian Devil Baby Barack Obama gave the State of the Union Address last night? Me Neither!, but anyway it seems that very serious person Mitch Daniels did and he gave a rebuttal. And notable economist and bearded person Paul Krugman is now rebutting the rebuttal. (Krugman)
  • The long and shorting of it - It’s hard to believe (no, actually it isn’t), but Willard and his number 1 wife own or owned millions of dollars worth of a Goldman Sachs investment fund invested heavily in mortgage-backed obligations. And the current owners of those mortgage debts began foreclosure proceedings against thousands of Floridians. Whoopsie! (Think Progress)
  • All the news that fits - The local newspaper in Arkansas will not publish engagement of marriage announcements of same-sex couples. Not until marriage equality is legal in that state, anyway. (Yahoo Voices)

  • Romney advisers stressed that the holdings in the Caymans — along with those in a Swiss bank account that was closed in 2010 after an investment adviser decided it could be politically embarrassing to Romney — were reported on tax returns and were not vehicles to avoid taxes. Uh-huh. So when Willard ran in 2008, they thought it was no big deal? (NYTimes)
