There you have it folks. Those are the answers that the GOP, McCain and Palin have to give to the American people who are asking serious questions about the serious issues facing the country and each and every one of us. They have nothing else. They are vision-less losers. And anyone who hitches their caboose to that out-of-steam, broken down old locomotive of bankrupt ideology and politics is a loser too.

Even the GOP ass-kissing mainstream media, as evidenced in this video clip, is getting sick of their childish act (about goddamn time too.)

And that my friends is a reality-based-community observation you can believe in.

Who Left The Doors Unlocked to The Insane Asylum?

If ever there existed video-taped proof that the remaining 20% of the rabidly insane Bush supporters have morphed overnight into zombie robot soldiers from Hell for Sarah Palin -- this video clip is it.

I actually had to force myself to watch this dreck three times before I could get myself to comprehend the totality of the idiocy in all of it's glorious pervertedness. It made me want to take a scalding hot shower and have a couple of stiff drinks afterward.

I've been saying it for years -- to the sighing and eye-rolling of my detractors -- that the so-called "core" of the Republican party are neither true conservatives or true Republicans nor, dare say I, true Americans. They are mindless, end-times worshipping, racist, Democracy loathing fuckheads who if transported back in time would have prospered nicely under fascist regimes like those of 1930's Germany and Mussolini's Italy. They don't care about facts, they don't care about fairness, they don't care about educating themselves in any way, shape or form in order to understand the world beyond their picket white fences or to exercise sound judgement about any issue that impacts all of us. Their worldview is the fundamentalist Christian mirror image of the equally vile Islamic extremists whom they believe are ready to invade our shores any day now to conquer and convert us. They are pathetic.

I'm truly ashamed to call these people my fellow Americans.

Suppress The Vote '08! Election Thuggery In Full Swing . . .

A friend of mine is of the belief that I'm in the gloating or crowing stage over an imminent Obama victory.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. The reason being is I am fully cognizant of the GOP's very successful abilities for electoral tampering and voter suppression. We saw evidence of it in 2000 in Florida against Gore as well as in 2004 in Ohio against Kerry.

Every exit poll in Ohio in 2004 showed Kerry wining by 5-7% and he actually ends up losing by that same amount. Exit polling has been used for decades and has been a very reliable indicator of the final outcomes of state and national elections. What happened in Ohio in 2004 was more than just a once in a lifetime anomaly -- it was downright suspicious.

Anyhow, now we hear of some quite possibly illegal voter purge activity taking place in several battleground states just a few weeks before this year's historically important election. The NYT report states that "voters appear to have been purged by mistake and not because of any intentional violations by election officials or coordinated efforts by any party." Gee -- where have I heard that lame denial before? I'd be willing to wager a month's pay that the vast majority of the voters purged were minority and/or Democrat. Any takers on that bet??

Anyhow, the bottom line is, I will not be gloating or crowing about anything until the morning of Nov. 5th when I read with my own two eyes those headlines blaring -- "Obama/Biden In Landslide Victory!!"

Sarah and Todd -- "Palling-Around" with Terrorists?

Olbermann lays the smack-down on Sarah Plain and Dumb. And yes, I do want to know more about the Palins' association with the America-hating secessionist group (AIP) in Alaska. It's a relationship that's a helluva lot more recent and tangible than Obama's fleeting association with former 60's radical William Ayers on a couple of Chicago charitable foundation boards. It's so fucking laughable to hear the right-wingers pooh-pooh Palin's radical right ties -- more than anything it really highlights their absurd hypocrisy when it comes to this vile guilt-by-association game which they so love to play.

Ahh yes -- so many lies to tell and so few pre-election days to tell them in. I've no doubt Palin/McCain will certainly do their best to cram as many personal smears and lies that they possibly can into this short window of time in their overtly desperate attempt to catapult their pathetic ticket to White House victory.

Purple -- non political -- but fun

Long suffering Minnesota Vikings fan. This song makes me giggle.

Insane???????????????????????????

A little bit of self promotion and a simple statement of what I think of the lame-asses who believe Sarah Palin is ready to lead the most powerful nation in the free world.

May take a little while to load. Be patient.

The Rueful Expectations of The Criminally Insane . . .

Watching Sarah Palin in her debate with Joe Biden was, simply put, an incredibly mind-numbing experience. Everytime she opened her mouth all I could think of was the Marge Gunderson character from the movie Fargo. And boy -- listening to the right-wingers the next day oohing! and ahhing! over Palin's dismally dimwitted performance, only served to push my idiocy-soaked brain past the numb stage and into the comatose stratum.

Anyhow, Bill Maher states the obvious alot more eloquently than I can in this clip.

Coal Miners for Obama . . . Who'd Have Thunk It?

Hehe. Even some rough blue collar coal-miners are sick of the conservatives trying to shove their stained brand of fucked up politics and lies down their throats. Here they tell the NRA and their right-wing political sugar daddy mine owners to fuck off by shutting down their coal mine for a day. Good for them.

It's always a good sign when people stand up to the political bullying of fascists. Now, if we could only transplant some of that courage into the spine of the Democratic Leadership, we might actually be able to accomplish some good for the country.

Lies Upon Lies Upon Lies Upon Lies Upon Lies . . .

I'm getting really fucking sick and tired of the no-accountability neo-conservatives falling all over themselves in a pitiful attempt to place the mantle of blame for the whole Wall Street mess on the heads of the working poor and minorities. What a pathetic bunch of dishonest losers.

I have a couple of acquaintances who, out of sheer ignorance, or prejudice or hatefulness or perhaps a combination of all, are buying into the Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Hewitt, Dobbs, (name your right wing pundit) crock of shit meme that the preponderance of blame is to be assigned to the poor and minorities because they were the people who applied for home loans without actually possessing the qualifications to earn those loans.

Thomas Frank rams a red-hot spear of truth through the black heart of that right-wing nonsense in this Wall Street Journal editorial.

The key excerpt:

There is no way to measure the number of people who took out mortgages they knew they couldn’t afford, of course, but for what it’s worth, a 2007 report by the Mortgage Bankers Association reports that the FBI estimates “80 percent of all reported fraud losses arise from fraud for profit schemes that involve industry insiders.” That means the lenders, not the borrowers.

Just imagine the flights of fancy that the theory of borrower malevolence and Wall Street victimization requires conservatives to take: All these no-account folks, you see, got together and forced investment banks to engineer subprime mortgages into highly leveraged securities. Then they tricked all manner of hedge funds and pension funds and financial institutions into buying these lousy products. Just for good measure, these struggling homeowners then persuaded bond-rating agencies to misrepresent the risk associated with these securities.

Now imagine what such a fantastic scheme, if true, would mean for capitalism itself. This economic system, glorified by all, dominates the globe today, bidding prices up and down, forcing entire nations to change their ways to better suit its needs, and yet it is so fragile that when challenged by the weakest members of society and a handful of community organizers it simply crumbles. Thank goodness the Soviets never figured this out.

But it all fits in with the neo-conservative profile -- no accountability ever for themselves or their wealthy benefactors! And ALWAYS! blame those with the least power and influence in society, just because they're easy targets.

Yep -- that's our Neo-Cons -- with the con most certainly meaning "con artists." I'm convinced that if this country is to survive, the sane citizens that remain amongst us need to combine forces to deliver a knockout blow to this contemptible ideological movement -- one which will cement it's place forever in the dustbin of history where it rightfully belongs.

On the Cutting Room Floor . . .

The Charlie Gibson interview with Sarah Palin a couple of weeks ago offered a tantalizing, albeit too brief, view into the mindset of the Wasilla Hockey Mom who would would be Queen.

As is typical of these types of sit-down teevee interviews, it was edited to conform to the television format time constraints.

Here's a out-take snippet of that interview that didn't make it on to American's teevee sets:

They'll Shoot Their Eyes Out!

Gee -- what a shocker. A rabidly conservative organization resorting to lies to peddle it's agenda! The National Gun-goon Association puts on their tin-foil hats every election to rally their militia-men to try and influence elections - always for the GOP of course. Every year they seem to get a little nuttier and more paranoid though. I'm beginning to think that some of the late Charlton Heston's Alzheimer ravaged brain cells may have rubbed off on this group's leaders as a whole. Unfortunately it's the leaders of the NRA who give the whole organization a black eye with their "jack-booted thugs" comments and their wholesale paranoia every time anyone dares debate putting even so much as sensible controls on the proliferation of the more deadly firearms in this country.

Anyhow, they're at it again, chicken-little screeching that the sky is falling and that mean ol' Obama is gonna take their cap pistols away from them. These guys are absolutely entitled to their opinions and participation in the political process, however, they are not entitled to lie about the political candidates they choose to oppose. It serves only to make their organization as a whole look petty and dishonest.

Thankfully there are sane, honest entities out there that take an unbiased look at such claims to verify their truthfulness. In this case FactCheck.org bitch slaps the NRA for peddling their toxic brand of gun-powder fueled bullshit. Good for them.
