People On FBI Terrorist Watch List Can Buy Guns
Oh America…how I love the asinine logic used to create laws. Let me see if I can get this straight. If you are on the FBI Terrorist Watch List, you can’t board an air plane…but you can buy a gun. This is just the latest example of the ass-backwardness of this country. The NRA of course is defending the rights of these individuals saying that the terrorist watch list is flawed. I actually agree with them on this. Remember, Ted Kennedy was once stopped from boarding a plane because his name appeared on the list. Now most people will focus on the sensationalized headlines “Terror watchlist suspects can buy guns” and never notice that the truth is, the lists themselves are flawed. Ted Kennedy is one of the most recognizable government officials and he had to get the then head of Homeland Security to get his name off the list. Hell, Martin Luther King was on an FBI watch list at one point. Instead of a watch list, how about we just….I don’t know…have some real fucking security instead? Obviously the watch list isn’t useful when youhave a famous, sitting United States senator on the list. And another thing…if there was a terrorist trying to board…don’t you think they’d use a fake ID?
Joe Scarborough on John McCain and Lindsey Graham
I’m always talking about how much of a douchebag tool Joe Scarborough is, but I have to give the man credit when he does something right.
Don’t get too excited. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. But seriously, what the hell are John McCain and his trusty Side Kick/secret lover Lindsey Graham thinking? Of course the President is on the side of the protesters. What, you think he wants Iran to keep their “Death to America” attitude going? Like he doesn’t have enough shit to worry about. I just find it unbelievable that fuckers like McCain and all the other GOP assclowns can speak against the President now…when most of them claimed that speaking against Bush was “unAmerican”.
Governor Sanford goes AWOL
Okay, first some background on who this assclown is. Remember back when the President was pushing to get his Economic Stimulus Recovery plan passed? Remember when there was a group of republican governors who claimed they were going to turn down the stimulus money? Well Governor Asshat (read: Sanford) was the only one of those Governors to take his fight to refuse the bailout money to court. He lost. Not only did the law makers in his state want the money, but so did the people. So fast forward to a couple of days ago when it came out that no one had seen or heard from the Governor…not even his own family. Now his aides have said that he went “hiking” on the Appalachian Trail. Now maybe that’s true. Maybe, in typical Republican douchebaggery, the Governor being a sore loser decided to “pack up his ball” and go home. But over Father’s Day weekend? Not talking to your wife or kids? That seems a little more than odd, it seems down right suspicious. Honestly though, I could care less if he really did go hiking or if he decided to go on a 4-day coke and hooker binge. What bothers me is that as the Executive of a state, he up and leaves without telling his Lieutenant Governor or any other State government officials where he is going or how to contact him in an emergence. What the hell kind of irresponsible behavior is that? I’m a lowly computer programmer and even I can’t just up and disappear for 4 days without letting my boss and coworkers know where I am or at the very least, how to reach me. This isn’t me being partisan. If a democratic governor did the same thing I’d be calling for their resignation as well. This is completely unacceptable.
Sanford’s office acknowledged that it had no idea where exactly along the Appalachian Trail – a 2,200 mile route that crosses 14 states – he had been walking. His spokesman refused to discuss whether he had been accompanied by anyone.
“He’s an avid outdoorsman. Nobody’s ever accused our governor of being conventional,” the spokesman said.
I guess no one’s ever accused him of being ’smart’ either.
*Update*
I wrote the above last night. Turns out the Governor wasn’t hiking but he was in Argentina for 7 days. WTF? A sitting Governor just up and leaves to go out of the country, with no security or nothing? No notes to his next in command. His own family doesn’t even know? Over Father’s Day weekend? Oh this mofo was getting it in with coke and hookers…no doubt.
Palin Might Not Run in 2010
While I think she’s dumb brain dead polar bear cub, I have to give it to the Alaskan Governor, she knows how to stretch out 15 minutes of fame. I guess someone’s been reading up on “Attention Whoring for Dummies” since November 5th. As dumb as she is, even I don’t think Governor Sarah Palin is that stupid to not run for re-election next year. It doesn’t make any sense. The best way for her to stay in the spot light is to be a current governor and not some former governor has been that is struggling to stay relevant. Then again, maybe not being Governor will allow her to focus on important things like map reading and understanding simple foreign policy.
Oh Richard Nixon
And you wonder why minorities don’t like Republicans. You have an asshole of a republican, who was President, saying while being taped, that interracial pregnancies are a legitimate reason for getting an abortion. Oh wait…what is it that Black Republicans always say “But Lincoln freed the slaves.” GTFOH with that bullshit. I love how those fuckers always skip over republican dickwads like this when they try to shovel the republican shit onto their fellow African-American.
GOP Women’s Group Compares Obama to Hitler
Again, its things like this that will keep most African Americans from every being republican. I’m beginning to think Republicans are allergic to common sense.
Dear Friends:
Obama and Hitler have a great deal in common in my view. Obama and Hitler use the “blitzkrieg” method to overwhelm their enemies. FAST, CARPET BOMBING intent on destruction. Hitler’s blitzkrieg bombing destroyed many European cities – quickly and effectively. Obama is systematically destroying the American economy and with it AMERICA. First the banking/investment industry, next private enterprise (GM and Chrysler) and now HEALTH CARE.
We too CAN fight back. Contact everyone you know. Start a blitzkrieg of our own. Shut down the Capitol switchboards and the White House switchboards! Say NO to the Obamination of Obama Care!
Another Press Conference, Another Dumbass question
Reporters that ask dumbass questions at Press conferences should be forced to commit seppuku right on the spot. A secret service agent (Actually, it would probably be more fitting if Rahm Emmanuel did it) should come up to them, remove the microphone from their hand and hand them a ritualistic sword and they should then be forced to impale themselves. I guarantee you that after a couple of those, there won’t be nearly as many retarded ass questions.
