Top 5 misconceptions about Tea Party Movement
One year ago, the first Tea Party protest hadn’t even been held yet and the phrase remained safely ensconced in American history textbooks. This weekend, the first national Tea Party Convention will be held in Nashville, and the fractious movement has secured a place in the history of the Obama administration. But for all the attention it has earned, misconceptions abound. Here are the top five. Read the rest of this entry

FBI agent leases building to FBI and lies about it…BTW that’s illegal
In 2001, Philip Halbert Neilson was placed as the supervisory agent in charge of locating the building that the FBI would be using in Oxford, MS. Agent Neilson made his recommendation and the FBI moved in and set up shop. Everything is cool to this point. Read the rest of this entry
Finally, a Republican who said what he thinks…even if he didn’t mean to.
Well, just when you thought you had heard the pinnacle of all ignorant quotes by an elected official, up walks Andre Bauer, South Carolina’s republican lieutenant governor, and makes this gem of a remark concerning free school lunches for the poor. Read the rest of this entry

Ho Sit Down: Bristol Palin Preaching Abstinence Now
Bristol Palin’s new goal is to not have any more pre-marital sex. Bristol took the Chasity oath on the Oprah Show Friday and says other women should do the same.
Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol who has been raising her son Tripp by herself says she is vowing not to make the same mistake twice. Oprah asked Bristol if she thought she was setting herself up for failure, and Bristol replied no.
Sorry Bristol we don’t believe you, you need more people. SMH.

When I saw this I had to show you, beloved reader. After seeing it, I had one huge question running through my mind:
Why take the “Chasity Oath” on Oprah’s show?
Shouldn’t that be a personal real moment for a person that normally wouldn’t be shared with a gazillion other strangers? I think its hilarious that Oprah asked if she really thought that a “Chasity Oath” was an obtainable goal. Does Bristol really think that we, the uncaring public, think she is a whore? I personally don’t think about her at all.
Well, there is some good news. The Palin camp has finally figured out a way to make the “return to decency” plausible. Publicly embarrass the child who had sex before the church said it was o.k. and make her swear on TV to never do it again. Nothing says “Good Parenting” like public displays of shame masked by public decrees of “I’m Sorry” for the world to see. I can’t help but feel that Palin’s “handlers” advised the Gov., Presidential VP Candidate, Fox News contributor to use the girl as a pawn to win back some of the puritanical outliers in the right by having her make a decree of celibacy on national TV.
Well done Sarah, well done!

Mitt Romney has cloned himself!
With that “never say die” Mormon attitude, Former Gov. Mitt Romney has cloned himself in order to keep himself a viable candidate for any other “Liberal Witch Hunt” that comes up.
Massachusetts sucks.
(On a bright note, I can now spell Massachusetts without thinking about it. Although, I really don’t want to think about that place. *YUCK* So, thank you Mitt Romney and Mitt Romney 2.0)
*** SHIT, JUST WHEN I WAS REALLY STARTING TO HATE TEXAS…MASSACHUSETTS THROWS A HAT INTO THE RING***
…and then there is this.
So much for the republican return to “christian values and decency.”
For electing Scott Brown (see above), Massachusetts you suck. Thank you for showing the world that you really don’t care about anything that the Kennedy family fought for. As a bright point on the intellectual and socially in tune map you, Massachusetts, have really dropped the ball on this one.
Not familiar with Scott Brown and his nude modeling and political platform? I will help with the political platform issue you can surf for right wing porn by your selves.
Scott Brown’s Political Platform (taken from Scott Brown’s Senate Website all RED highlights and underlining are my doing) :
Why I’m Running…
America is a great country but we also have some challenges that we need to solve if we’re going to remain the world’s superpower. The most important of our challenges is getting the U.S. economy moving again. People are hurting as they struggle to make ends meet. They’re worried about their future, and that of their children and grandchildren. I want to ensure that we leave them an America that is financially stronger and independent: minus a national debt that we can never repay.
Health Care
I believe that all Americans deserve health care coverage, but I am opposed to the health care legislation that is under consideration in Congress and will vote against it. It will raise taxes, increase government spending and lower the quality of care, especially for elders on Medicare. I support strengthening the existing private market system with policies that will drive down costs and make it easier for people to purchase affordable insurance. In Massachusetts, I support the 2006 healthcare law that was successful in expanding coverage, but I also recognize that the state must now turn its attention to controlling costs.
Economy
I am a free enterprise advocate who believes that lower taxes can encourage economic growth. Raising taxes stifles growth, weakens the economy and puts more people out of work. Our economy works best when individuals have more of their income to spend, and businesses have money to invest and add jobs. I have been a fiscal watchdog in the state legislature fighting bigger government, higher taxes and wasteful spending.

Energy and Environment
I support common-sense environment policy that will help to reduce pollution and preserve our precious open spaces. I realize that without action now, future generations will be left to clean up the mess we leave. In order to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, I support reasonable and appropriate development of alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal and improved hydroelectric facilities. I oppose a national cap and trade program because of the higher costs that families and businesses would incur.
Education
I am passionate about improving the quality of our public schools. Accountability and high standards are paramount. I support choice through charter schools, as well as the MCAS exam as a graduation requirement. I have worked to ensure that all children have access to a quality education. I am a strong advocate for the METCO program, which provides lower income students with broader educational opportunities.
Immigration
I recognize that our strength as a nation is built on the immigrant experience in America. I welcome legal immigration to this country. However, we are also a nation of laws and government should not adopt policies that encourage illegal immigration. Providing driver’s licenses and in-state tuition to illegal immigrant families will act as a magnet in drawing more people here in violation of the law and it will impose new costs on taxpayers. I oppose amnesty, and I believe we ought to strengthen our border enforcement and institute an employment verification system with penalties for companies that hire illegal immigrants.
Veterans
As a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army National Guard, I am uniquely aware of the importance and sacrifice of our men and women serving in the military. I have been a vigorous supporter of legislation providing benefits to returning service members, as well as, benefits for the families of those killed in action. I believe we need to recognize the sacrifice of all of our servicemembers by keeping better track of returning military personnel so they get the services they deserve. That includes providing them with first-class medical care and other benefits to which they are entitled. I am known as a leader on veterans’ issues through my work on the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee, the Hidden Wounds of War Commission, and the Governor’s Task Force on Returning Veterans.
Gun issues
I support the Second Amendment and believe that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms as a basic constitutional liberty. I support safe and responsible gun ownership.
Death penalty
I believe there are some crimes that are so heinous that they deserve capital punishment. Our Government should have the ability to impose the death penalty in cases where it is justified.
Abortion
While this decision should ultimately be made by the woman in consultation with her doctor, I believe we need to reduce the number of abortions in America. I believe government has the responsibility to regulate in this area and I support parental consent and notification requirements and I oppose partial birth abortion. I also believe there are people of good will on both sides of the issue and we ought to work together to support and promote adoption as an alternative to abortion.
Marriage
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. States should be free to make their own laws in this area, so long as they reflect the people’s will as expressed through them directly, or as expressed through their elected representatives.
Iran
I support the bi-partisan Iran sanctions bill and believe that until Ahmadinejad gives up his nuclear ambitions he should be isolated from the rest of the world. With its reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons, Iran represents the biggest threat to Israel. Ahmadinejad is a Holocaust denier who has threatened to wipe Israel off the map. Meeting with him confers legitimacy when the only correct response is to treat him as an outcast. A personal meeting with Ahmadinejad, as suggested by my opponent, would embolden him and be used as a propaganda tool to strengthen his position.
Truth is stranger than fiction. The proof is right there!
**I noticed on Scott Brown’s election page that he has a FLICKR link. With what I have seen above, do you think that was a good idea. Is that not hilarious to anyone else????
Boston Globe’s Poll Watching Feature and American Voting Seriousness
The Boston Globe makes it easy for you to watch polls and find out who pooped their pants. Thank you information overload!
(*Apparently “Jay Z” voted for Scott Brown. I think this may be bogus…)
YES. Real-life voters making crass, childish comments about their polling locations and others’ political beliefs! This completely re-justifies the Globe’s existence. And the best part is…
…IT IS THE LEAST MODERATED COMMENT THREAD EVER (although we didn’t try curses):

Hurry now, dear readers, before the closest thing they have to a moderator wakes up from that diabetic coma! MUSH, MUSH.
