...and here's your moment of zen!
Any John Stewart fans here?
The latest observation on Mittens and the "Super Pacman!" was so dead right on! Newt and company are already clamoring for campaign reform! "It's just not fair!!!!" they cry. What in the world did they expect?
Mittens is THE poster child of the Raygun and Nixon doctrine. Let's fire all the unions and proclaim, "Corporations are people, too!"
This falls under the old chestnut of 'Be careful what you wish for'.

Yeah, I am familiar with that doctrine;
Encourage corporations and state governments to cut costs by laying off as many people as possible, then use the leverage gained from the resulting unemployment to hold wages down.............Then wonder why you can't sell any $250,000 homes while constantly bitching about unemployment benefit costs....................
Pure genius.

I record the Daily Show and Colbert Report and watch them the following day. I never miss them. Colbert is a comic genius.

I'm here in the OC (the intellectual wasteland of the universe) Birchers to the left of me and god knows what's to the right of me. Kind of like living through the worst parts of 'Lord of the Flies.' So it's about the only source of sensible content left to me.
I used to be cynical but watching Newt moan about the super PACs has taken the cynicism to new level. Hearing him dish out his offer to go to the NAACP to lecture on the subject of work ethics was truly beyond belief.
Just wait till the Supremes get finished interpeting sip a poopa, they'll have outlawed dissent entirely. Debtors prisons will be the next growth industry start up.

This is how my family got here from Ireland. Maybe we'll be able to move to a better place again because of them.....

The Bank of England still has a negative account they're looking settle up on. They started dunning me for unearned pay my Hessian ancestors incurred when, I quote, "moste traitorously and vicsiously failed to defend the the Kings interests in ye olde colonies in the new world, interest is compounding dailye!" They've already arranged for anchorage rights in Baltimore Harbor, the QE2 is due any day now.
 Too bad the Canadien government is building an electric fence on their southern border.
Icehole ingrates, after all that we've done for them. Without us they wouldn't have a Northwest Passage.

Orange County, California? Or is it Oklahoma City? Must be Oklahoma City if it's that wing-nutty.
