It's Friday, ya bastids!Yesterday, President Obama tossed the deadlocked debt ceiling negotiations back to Congress. Well, not literally “tossed,” or they would have stepped out of the way and let them crash to the floor. The President told Congressmen to confer with their rank and file members about what could get accomplished. Unfortunately, in the case of the Republicans that’s like telling them to take the trolley back to Looney Town. You think Congressional Republican leaders are crazy? The Republican rank and file in the House will want to tie this to returning to the gold standard and eliminating the Fed, the EPA, and child labor laws.
Today, the president responded to concerns that Republicans won’t work with him no matter what by quipping “I always have hope. Don’t you remember my campaign?” Yes, we do, Mr. President. But we also remember theirs.
In a new interview, Marcus Bachmann claims that his clinics only practice gay conversion if someone asks for it. How can you tell someone is asking for gay conversion therapy? Do they ask for it by what they’re wearing? In that case, the only patients safe from gay conversion would be those with no fashion sense whatsoever. Bachmann also claims that audio tapes of him on a Christian radio show referring to homosexuals as “barbarians” have been doctored. Come on, Marcus, tell the truth. You said gays were barbarians, but you meant it as a compliment. I mean, Conan the Barbarian sure looks sexy in that outfit. Oh, those barbarians, with their rippling muscles under those furs and metal armbands! It all makes you want to see them go and sack somebody, if you know what I mean.
Rupert Murdoch finally gave an interview to his very own Wall Street Journal, which is his way of telling them “I realize you have to talk about it. Here’s what to say…” Usually, newspapers cover stories of espionage, bribery, perjury, and payoffs. Now the people at the Wall Street Journal have to realize that they are working for a media empire that engages in all of those behaviors.
The rightwing is worried that the left is having too much fun watching the catastrophe at Fox News unfold. Hey, from our point of view, Fox News has been an unfolding catastrophe since it launched. Let the sucker go down. I won’t be happy until the only question that Sean Hannity or Bill O’Reilly get to pose to anyone is “would you like fries with that order?”
