(Petunia and Pals) Doocy: Death before Dishonor, or Over the Cliff
- The Supreme Court of the United States is going to hear both the CA Proposition 8 case (the initiative that rolled back marriage equality in the Golden State) and a challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act, which is another land mine that the greatest GOP President of all time, Bill Clinton left for us to deal with. No word on whether anyone will recuse themselves, but 6 out of 9 Catholic Justices are starring at Elena Kagen because, you know… Also/too: John Roberts. (TPM)
- What with the War on Women being over, Wingnuts everywhere are getting back to business. For instance, Gary Heavin — the co-founder of Curves International Inc., which calls itself “the world’s leader in women’s fitness,” needs to do a little accounting on all the money (north of $1M) he and his wife donated to the GOP and to various anti-woman causes, like initiatives to defund Planned Parenthood. (Think Progress)
- Famous staff-banging serial adulterer Newt Gingrich is a man of big ideas, as he will be the first to tell us, and you may recall that during his run for the 2012 Goat Rodeo he proposed putting a permanent colony on the moon, which even made theocrat secessionist nitwit Rick Perry giggle like a school girl. But Newt is consistent with his big ideas as he is with banging the staff, and today he joined the Board of Directors of the newly formed Golden Spike Company, which aims to launch a moon tourism business for governments and the ultra-wealthy. (WaPo)
Golden Spike Company – put a guy on your Board of Directors who’s business go bankrupt. Brilliant. I’m sure his resume of demonizing welfare queens, denouncing and extra-marital affairs while having his own, and getting charged huge fines for breaching internal policy and ethics violations will serve the company well. Grifter’s gotta grift.
God TG, Is there ANY way to give me news to drink to without having to look at–much less listen to–those three blind mice? Jeebus, they have got to be the most annoying, lying, duplicitous trio in the history of the electric teevee this side of the 700 club and Tammy Baker.
Reamus -
They’ve been on a roll lately. Forgive me! I admit my bias. Besides, I crack up each time I see Petunia try to emote.
Regards,
TG
A partially successful Golden Spike ship to the moon could quite easily become a permanent lunar colony. In that event, having Newt on their board will give the situation more gravitas. Although having Newt on-board would give more satisfaction.
Try to imagine Noot in a space suit.
TG,
EMOTE!!!! My God the woman barely has a native tongue! She couldn’t emote with a 120 volt battery pack strapped to her ample ass…..
Did Doocy actually say that spending cuts weren’t on the table and the Bamz is only offering tax hikes? Jesus Christ on a pogo-stick, how does anyone watch this shit and have the slightest clue what is going on in world?
