A Million Ways To Die In The U.S.

Global Warming vs The U.S. House Of Representatives

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Space, Science and Technology is filled to capacity with dazzling examples of what can be found mouldering in the shallowest end of the human gene pool.

Equal Protection Under The Law… If Women Who Choose To Have An Abortion Or Use Birth Control…

If The U.S. Constitution Requires Equal Protection Under The Law…

And, if women are going to be subject to murder charges for choosing to have an abortion or for using birth control…

Then men who masturbate should be arrested for mass murder.

Period.

Newt Gingrich Defends Catholic Church… And Is Swallowed By A Snake – The Daily Show

In the 2008 Presidential Race, Republicans prophesied many, er, creative “Be Afraid… Be Very Afraid.” potential outcomes in their “If-Obama-becomes-President”-dystopian tirades.

None, of course, came to fruition.

Now, in 2012, how will those same Republican wrong-nosticators top themselves?

Here’s one GOP candidate’s recent declaration:

“He will wage war on the Catholic Church the morning after he’s re-elected.” – so said Newt Gingrich.

Newt Gingrich is worried about the Catholic Church? Newt Gingrich?

The very same, self-serving, Pillsbury P.O.S. who not only cheated on his first but, later, his second wife after each had became seriously ill and who, shortly thereafter, divorced Wife Number One and later divorced Wife Number Two and is now on Wife Number Three wants American Catholics to believe that he’s concerned for and looking out for Catholicism and for the Catholic Church?

Uh, yeah… Riiiiiiiiiight.

D’ya like to hear more improbable prognostications from GOP leadership?

Stephen Colbert: ‘The more money you have, the more you can speak’ | The Raw Story

Speaking at the Iowa State Fair last year, Mitt Romney asserted that “corporations are people.”

Following that line of Mitt-belief, Stephen Colbert’s former (and newly Jon Stewart-controlled) Super PAC released an ad on Saturday attacking Mitt Romney as a “serial killer” due to his record of destroying corporations (which Mitt said are “people”) as the head of Bain Capital.

Here’s Sunday’s Colbert interview with George Stephanopoulos and the “Mitt The Ripper” ad.

Enjoy!

Obama Is My President: Richard Cordray Appointed To Head Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Obama Is My President.

I may not agree with everything he’s done – cough*NDAA*cough – but, I’m thrilled that President Obama just made four (count ’em: 1, 2, 3, 4!) recess appointments.

As Rachel Maddow said, “He never does that.”.

Our President appointed three people to the National Labor Relations Board – so that they may have a quorum/continue to function – and (Drum roll, please…) he appointed Mr. Richard Cordray to head up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

I’m doing the Snoopy Dance about that last one.

GOP Senators have been relentlessly preventing anyone from being appointed to head the CFPB.

Why do such a thing?

Because, even after our most recent Wall Street shyster-caused economic melt-down, Republicans in Congress still haven’t wanted millions of Americans to be protected from evil, greedy, unethical, fast-talking loan and credit card companies…

But, My President Does!

Check it out in this clip from last night’s The Rachel Maddow Show:  Rachel talks with Gene Sperling, Director of the National Economic Council.

Obama Ends Congressional GOP Obstruction Of Consumer Financial Protection Agency With Recess Appointment.

Advocates Press For Recess Appointment Of Consumer Bureau Chief By Obama / The Hill

Dear President Obama:

Please give us a reason to uncork the champagne on New Year’s Eve:

Use your recess appointment power to overcome the idiotic roadblocks of GOP Senators and appoint Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Chief Richard Cordray and your nominees to the federal bench.

Thank You!

Pro-Corporate Greed Conservatives In Full Panic Mode Over Occupy Wall Street Protests

Fox and Co. (I won’t call Fox “news” – it isn’t) conservative bobble-heads, GOP presidential wanna-Be’s, right-wing talk-show hosts (rodeo clown glenn beck still breathes piss & vinegar on radio), etc. have entered “Full Panic Mode” and are getting hysterical over the Occupy Wall Street protests and its Occupy spin-off protests across America.

(That said, there’s no better proof than this that the Occupy Wall Street Protests are effective/working.)

Their Methods?

Same as Always: Derision, Demonizing, Infiltrating, Instigating, embedding Provocateurs of Pepper Spray…

And yet, just listen to what the eloquent former Senator Alan Grayson said to PJ O’Rourke on Bill Maher…

Mr. Grayson received a Standing Ovation (deservedly so).

Americans Are Fighting Back Against GOP War On Voting… And Winning!

*Urgent Plea: America, Please Don’t Take Your Right To Vote For Granted!

There’s an organized, law-changing (GOP) attack on American voting rights (minorities, early voters, troops overseas, etc.) across the country.

Also, the various recent attacks on union-rights are no less than attacks on both the middle-class and the Democratic Party.

How do you combat these utterly Anti-U.S. Constitution/Anti-American attacks?

Be Aware:  Pay attention to/Know what is going on in your State Legislature. Look for changes/new laws that affect your County Clerk’s Office, especially.

Be Informed: Find out if and/or how the new laws might alter; impede; or take away your right or your neighbors’ Right to Vote.

Fight Back: Thousands of Americans have rallied together to fight back against various state-wide GOP attacks on Voting Rights. They’ve gathered thousands of signatures and successfully made legal challenges, which have resulted in judicial-holds being placed on state measures intended to keep people from being able to vote.
Thousands of Americans have succeeded in getting Citizens’ Repeal/Citizens’ Recall Initiatives added to their upcoming ballots in order to remove blatantly un-American politicians from office as well as to repeal laws that had been put into effect without their input/consideration/vote in order to take away various Americans’ rights.

Fighting Back is Important Because Fighting Back Works.

Because Every American Has the Right To Vote.

Even if you feel that any recent changes to voting laws/union-rights won’t affect you, personally – Please understand this: If the changes affect other Americans in your state, eventually, they will affect you, too.

(*Unless, you simply don’t care that other people are abusing the power of their political office to take away your rights…)

Making it Harder To Vote and/or Taking Away Any Americans’ Right-To-Vote is blatant Abuse Of Power and ‘utter disdain for the U.S. Constitution’, two actions which – if left unchecked – will tilt the playing field in order to create an unfair advantage for those who have implemented the changes.

And to do that, my dear friends, is to attack our Democracy.

Enjoy this brief clip from The Rachel Maddow Show.
Rachel’s guest is Mr. Gilbert Ortiz, County Clerk of Pueblo County, CO.
He is also, now, one of my Heroes who will, I hope, become one of yours, too.
GOP War On Voting Faces Rising Defense

Boehner Sets New Standard For Disrespect

Fact: Never Before in the history of America, has there been as much aggressive, intentional and utterly-unpatriotic disrespect shown to a sitting United States President/the Office of The President of the United States as has been shown, repeatedly, by GOP members of Congress.

Their ongoing monkey-wrenching at every real and imagined opportunity is offensive, infinitely-petty and only paints them as unqualified and incompetent (and did I mention “UnPatriotic”?).
