Where do these people come from?

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

I know that Newt and his wife have long since become mere caricatures, but I can’t resist piling on. I ask you, of the two entities depicted here, which looks more like it’s not quite real. Barbie looks more lifelike than Callista. From TPM.

The Grifter (attempts to) speak

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

Wow, when I first read this quote it was at Kos and I thought it was satire, perhaps someone channeling Garry Trudeau channeling Sarah. But no, it’s pure Sarah: “Is a title worth it?” she asked, rhetorically. “Does a title shackle a person? Are they someone like me who’s maverick? I do go rogue and […]

Rick Perry comes close to speaking

Friday, September 23, 2011

I know this is unfair to the girl from South Carolina, who after all is not running for president, but I couldn’t resist.

Willard back on top?

Thursday, September 22, 2011

According to Talking Points Memo, Willard is on the rise: Mitt Romney is on the rebound in Republican primary polls. And there’s increasing polling evidence that he’s by far the stronger candidate against President Obama. Looks like there’s a pattern developing. The new guy or gal comes in and wins their hearts, but he or […]

Who would have believed that Michelle Bachmann really was that crazy?

Friday, September 16, 2011

Apparently there are Bachmann supporters that are totally surprised that she is completely nuts: People close to the campaign … spoke of their frustration that Mrs. Bachmann, who entered the race with a reputation for making unsupportable statements on cable television, has not found the discipline to win credibility with major Republican donors and influential […]

The Republican Health Plan: Die Quickly

Friday, September 16, 2011

This just came to my attention yesterday, though it happened in July. It becomes salient now considering Ron Paul’s recent response to a question that Wolf Blitzer, of all people, asked Paul at the most recent debate among the clowns that are seeking the Republican nomination for president. Blitzer asked what was to be done […]

An apostate speaks

Monday, September 5, 2011

Read this. As a friend of mine wrote, there’s little here that’s new (I’ve certainly made most of these points), but it’s all in one place, and from an insider from the other side. More proof, by the way, that the present day function of the Democratic party is to appear to oppose the Republicans.

Perry grabs the lead

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

Rick Perry is now the leading candidate for the Republican nomination, hopefully proving only that no one really likes Mitt, and they will consider any alternative, until that alternative demonstrates that he or she is insane, which, luckily for Mitt, they all eventually do. Still, as H.L Mencken said, “no one ever went broke underestimating […]

Inconsistent with Christian values

Monday, August 22, 2011

The Republicans continue to test the limits of what they can get away with, if they only wrap it in Jesus. Here’s a guy who says he stopped going to strip clubs when it occurred to him that his hobby was inconsistent with his fundie Christian values. Apparently, at some point he must have considered […]

A prediction

Monday, August 22, 2011

I’m easing back into things here, so I figured I’d start with some real fluff, and what’s fluffier than Sarah Palin? Talking Points is reporting that there are mixed signs about her intentions, but that there are indications that she will throw her bonnet into the ring come September. Personally, I hope she runs, and […]
