In the 96 hours after Minnesota GOP incumbent Michelle Bachman made some McCarthyist rantings about testing liberals to see if the were pro or anti-american, incensed voters donated over a million dollars to her Democratic opponent, suggesting that people are finally through with these Republican assholes and their desperate attempts to jerk people around.
We like the nation just fine; the one described in the constitution, not the one in demented conservative minds.
With predatory capitalism currently polluting the worlds markets, George Bush will (by any account) end his presidency in disgrace just 100 days from this Sunday.
In the end, it took something more toxic & obnoxious than terrorism to destroy our economy, namely republican leadership. Turns out, there's no better way to insure that the free market is transformed into big government socialism than to hand it to the witless crowd who's spent every waking moment bitching about socialism. FDR's policies, pilloried for 30 years by addled neocon dickheads, will be vindicated next week when the heir of "deregulation" and "trickle down," begins to guide 700 billion dollars of private assets (& then more) into federal ownership and protection, in an effort to save the country.
"The Bush administration is currently hammering out the final details of a plan that would allow the government to inject cash into banks in exchange for ownership...."
Meanwhile, forty percent of the nations asshats (having learned nothing about taking a moron at face value from the Bush years) are ready to vote for the next desperate and pathetic GOP candidate.
Here's wishing Bush a quick encounter with a rattlesnake as he resumes his brush-clearing duties.
“I’d say that maybe 3 out of 10 nights of numbering,we have some success,” Fahad explained.
“You mean that 3 out of 10 nights you get a girl to talk to you?” I asked.
“No, no,” Fahad laughed. “Maybe 3 out of 10 nights we get one phone number. Getting a girl to actually talk to you on the phone is much rarer. But it happens, so we’re always hoping.”
Legislatively anti-gay conservative State Rep. Richard Curtis transformed last week into a volptuous babe and went to the hooker-y side of town; where he found a rent boy, had videotaped sex with him at an adult video store, then went home with him and didn't pay him enough cash. I wonder if he shaved the 1970's porn 'stache, cause that's kind of a giveaway.
Tragically this upstanding defender of all things non-gay has met his Waterloo and resigned today, with assurances that he ain't no damned pillow-biter.

Apparently, $9.11. That's right. Some Giuliani-supporting assface decided it'd be a good idea to suggest a $9.11 donation to attend his Giuliani House Party fundraiser event.
[Abraham] Sofaer was a State Department adviser under President Reagan and is a fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Federal election data indicates Sofaer has given nearly $50,000 to Republican causes and candidates, including Giuliani, since 1995.
According to the invitation, "$9.11 for Rudy" is an "independent, non-denominational grass-roots campaign to raise $10,000 in small increments to show how many individual, everyday Americans support 'America's Mayor.'"
Look at how the supposedly liberal media soft-peddles what this religious cretin did.

"A Virginia State Police bomb squad was summoned to ensure the items were safe," some guy said. Oh these were safe bombs? Note, they're not bombs, they're "items."
"Anytime you have somebody with what appears to be explosive devices, you have to take that threat seriously," said that guy. ...preparing not to take it seriously, because only Muslim explosives are bad.
Shouldn't we be at level orange? Reminder: John Walker Lyndh? 20 years in prison! It will be interesting to compare and see how the sword doesn't cut both ways.

Every time I try to give this administration the benefit of the doubt, something like this comes along. Appears the government is once again pandering to the religious right, and won't provide scientific data about the age of grand canyon. Can't upset the apple cart here, and have someone see that this amazing part of our land had nothing to do with the great flood. Gomez, enlighten me as to why these ninnies belong in power, please... a simple "how many idiots does it take to change a light bulb at the white house" might explain this too...
Free Republic is where those who move their lips when they read, get their information from those who don't think; a GOP cluster-fuck. You have to read their delusional blog comments today to get inside the warped conservative mind. It took these hawkish, reactionary nuts less than a day to start whining like little bitches about unfairness, governing moderately, etc.
Instead how about a foot up your ass and some supoenas from Nancy Pelosi?
The GOP (with Diebold's assistance) is going to still be in power after Tuesday, but it's nice that stupid people have to confront the scum they're voting for.
In 2000, attorney Tom Connolly tipped the media off to a 1970's DUI arrest by presidential candidate George W. Bush. Yesterday he was arrested in Portland, Maine. for dressing up as Osama Bin Laden. It's up to the District Attorney's office to decide what crime he's commited, but police say one possibility is a charge of terrorizing.
His real crime is apparently not drinking the GOP kool-aid.
Thank god I'm a citizen of a country where if I become wealthy and powerful, I can physically intimidate those who ask questions I don't like, and where people who embarass me can be arrested for unknown "crimes."
Although Wolf "America Uber Alles" Blitzer has kissed GOP ass for years, he has recently rediscovered his conscience and his balls. Watch here as he holds crazy hypocrite Lynne Cheney's feet to the fire. She wrote a western lesbian adventure.
Best Comment:
"Evil man, evil wife. Plain and simple. They are both lunatics. And with hetero parents like that, no wonder their daughter is gay."

Levy County in Florida recently required library volunteerssubmit to a drug test as a condition of...er...volunteering.
You know, cuz we can't have Grandma gopped up on the goop while she attempts to do something with all that free time. Sounds like it'd be less hassle to start on that nasty crack habit.
To sum up, a hawkish, ass-kicking cowboy-president:
- failed to prevent Korea from getting the bomb.
- belongs to a party whose congressmen write dirty e-mails to your kids.
- has changed so little since 9-11 that a plane can still hit a building in Manhattan.
What was the conservative platform again? Can someone name a single success this administration has caused?
Gay Republicans are fearful that the GOP is going to use the Foley incident to purge obedient self-loathing, gay Repugs from their jobs. That should put the final nail in the coffin of conservative appeasement.
Sorry guys.
You didn't "choose" this lifestyle, but you did chose this peer group.
Rat-like politician & lapdog Tony Blair will resign in the next eight months, sooner if he continues to fuck up as Bush's little bitch. One little Hitler down, one to go.
Big News! The next #2 al Qaida guy has been arrested. That makes seven number twos in two years. If you were al Qaida #3 and they tried to promote you, you'd have to be flattered of course, but gosh, don't take that business card that says you're #2.
Jeepers, take agent 1.9 or 2.5 or something.
2 is just unlucky.
I guess it must be humiliating to go from being the head of an unstoppable political party to desperately trying to get your name off the ballot in your own district, because you've become toxic to all living things.
...that Iraq is a Civil war?
Bush's team has begun to develop a contingency plan "if" Iraq becomes a Civil War. Given that Bush acknowledges reality years after reality arrives, they've known it's a Civil War for years.
The plan involves smarmy language like "the troops will be removed immediately if a CW develops, so our boys won't be caught in the middle of it." Umm. too late for that dickless, "our boys" have been given nothing precise to do there; no line to advance, no line to hold, and their life consists of getting shot at, and executing misconceived strategies that escalate tensions. We're a referee in a civil war because Bush didn't even know there were different sects in Iraq that would bust out in conflict just weeks before the invasion. You don't need knowledge when God talks to you.
On an unrelated note, how long would a man be allowed to botch foreign policy as badly as Condi Rice? The woman is an ineffective dope.
Praise Jay-suhs! The power of the internet has been harnessed to root for the complete destruction of the planet which signals the coming of our glorious savior, at Rapture Ready.
Global warming, war... it's all good, you heathen. Maybe if you loved God, you'd litter more.
Back in 2003, Reps. Bob Ney (What else? - R) and Walter Jones (R), pissed at France for thinking rationally and skipping out on Bush’s misconceived Iraq war crimes, changed "french fries" to "freedom fries" in the House dining hall. Ney (soon to be a felon) remarked "It's just a way of saying "Up Yours!" to France."
This week, long after the argument was lost, they were quietly changed back. Neither Ney nor Jones would say who led the retreat. Not a single Republican would comment on it.
- Neither of the 2 senators earlier clueless belligerence was on display.
- No apology was issued for their original asshole comments.
- Not the slightest effort was made to repair a 230 year-old diplomatic friendship with France.
Would France ever say something as arrogant, dickish and juvenile as that?
How long would it take a deeply self-righteous America to get over a similar comment?
Try saying after me; "The french are still right, the U.S. is still wrong."
I missed this earlier this month (thanks, Defective Yeti). Adam Carolla had scheduled an interview with The Queen of Darkness, and apparently there was a phone number / scheduling mix-up. Hilarity ensues.
Carolla has always annoyed the crap outta me, but big ups for hangin' up on the fascist.
First picture of Pvt. Steven Green, "Charlottes Finest!" who's raping, killing, witness & family murdering, body-defiling and arsoning in your name for God and flag.
His parents must be very proud.
I wish I could feel something more than deep pity for the Iraqis. If I could hate them needlessly like a good citizen, I'd be fine with this.
The Democrats are in trouble because they can't agree on how to fix the mess the Republicans have made. The Republicans are rewarded for staying the course.
Cheney, from the NY Daily News: "I guess if I look back on it now, I don't think anybody anticipated the level of violence that we've encountered."
Wow. Just wow.
In a debate in the Senate today, Sen. John Kyl (AZ) declared, "The strategy there needs to be to win, not withdraw. Withdrawal follows victory."
Does anyone know what constitutes victory in Iraq? Everyone, everywhere, dead?
Gitmo hangings "good PR" according to US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
Wow, she must really be important with a title like that. DEPUTY Assistant? Is that like a Junior Ranger Rick badge or something? Where does the Bush administration FIND these morons? Oh, right, they're all friends. Dur.
Donald Rumsfeld briefed the President this morning on Iraq, and told Bush that 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed. To everyone's surprise, the color ran out of Bush's face, and he collapsed onto his desk, head in hands, visibly shaken. Finally, he composed himself and asked Secretary Rumsfeld,
"Just exactly how many is a brazillion?
Super retard Tony Snow continued his bang-up introduction to PR today when he used the (to him, innocuous) term Tar Baby twice in a White House press conference today. There's the usual (and well-deserved) offense taken but WTF? Who the hell drops an eighty year old racist term like that into their speech and thinks they're actually communicating?
The last I heard somebody use the term Tar Baby, I smashed my victrola.
It does make me think that conservatism is just a holding place where all the loutish clods incapable of bringing their minds out of the 19th century can gang together and pretend that the unloutish are bullies.
Like rats leaving a sinking ship... in the week of defending Renfield, and the phony-baloney "shake-up" of his team, Bush takes a massive 5 (to 7) point drop to 33%!

From the comments: A lot of the stuff done by the Republican party in the last five years is arguably bad. But there are few areas where the evidence that the Republican party has become a criminal organization is as straightforward as with the medicare drug plan.
There may be some honest Republican politicians left, but I wouldn't vote for one of them for national office any more than I would vote for somebody that seemed honest that was a member of the mafia.
For those of us who have been Republican voters all our lives the time has come to face up to the facts. And the facts are that many of the people we voted for have turned out to be criminals.
Some reasonable, articulate guy was able to penetrate the neo-con bullshit cloud today, and bitch-slap Bush.
Q You never stop talking about freedom, and I appreciate that. But while I listen to you talk about freedom, I see you assert your right to tap my telephone, to arrest me and hold me without charges, to try to preclude me from breathing clean air and drinking clean water and eating safe food. If I were a woman, you'd like to restrict my opportunity to make a choice and decision about whether I can abort a pregnancy on my own behalf. You are --
BUSH: I'm not your favorite guy. Go ahead. (Laughter and applause.) Go on, what's your question?
Q Okay, I don't have a question. What I wanted to say to you is that I -- in my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of, nor more frightened by my leadership in Washington, including the presidency, by the Senate, and --
AUDIENCE OF FLUNKIES: Booo!
BUSH: No, wait a sec -- let him speak.
Q And I would hope -- I feel like despite your rhetoric, that compassion and common sense have been left far behind during your administration, and I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and the grace to be ashamed of yourself...
So what does Bush do...? Answers a phony flag-waving question that wasn't asked.
A new 20 year study has found that whiny children tend to grow up to be conservative. 95% of them turned into rigid young adults who were uncomfortable with ambiguity and were uptight about gender roles. Ergo: the best use of the government is to strongarm the world into superfically supportive lockstep.
Although tomorrow the Jeffersonian dream of a progressive, free nation is dead & replaced with five Soviet style rubber-stamp votes (that give Bush all the power a facist ever craved), and turn civil rights into a popularity contest, there's still time for a little pre-martial law entertainment/satire.
From a report released by the US military on 23 January:
Violence in Iraq rose dramatically in 2005 compared with the year before, noted a report released by the US military on 23 January. According to US military statistics, 34,100 insurgent attacks mostly targeting US and Iraqi troops were recorded last year, up from about 27,000 in 2004, representing an increase of almost 30 percent. Instances of pedestrian suicide bombing also rose, from seven in 2004 to 67 in 2005. Similarly, suicide attacks using car bombs rose in numbers from 133 to 411 for the same period.
In a completely out-of-touch-with-reality response to the numbers strongly reminiscent of the Iraqi Information Minister, Hussein al-Garawi, a senior interior ministry official, says
The increased number of attacks was just a response to our successes in targeting the insurgents. The bombings are just a way for the insurgency to vent its anger over our efficiency.
"A coalition in Congress is being formed to support impeachment" a Bush administration source said. The admin is bracing for impeachment hearings in Congress.
Admin sources said the charges are expected to include lying to Congress as well as Mr. Bush's electronic surveillance inside the United States without a court warrant.
The probe will include Republicans, but that they may not be aware they could be helping to lay the groundwork for a Democratic impeachment campaign against Mr. Bush.
"Our arithmetic shows that a majority of the committee could vote against the president... If we work hard, there could be a tie." said some Bush flunky.
