Cameron Todd Willingham, RIP (RIck Perry)

UPDATE: Matt Taibbi has just ripped the lid off SEC corruption. MUST READ!!!!

 

Is anyone else already sick to death of Rick “I Texecuted a man just to watch him die” Perry? He’s got the kind of sense of humor that would start a bar fight in 99 out of 100 drinking establishments conjoined with the victimized right’s standard refrain of “cantcha take a joke?” Actually yes, I can take a joke when it’s a joke and not a fucking insult.

Rick Perry moved heaven and earth to stop an arson expert from halting Cameron Todd Willingham’s execution, and then covered his tracks like the backstabbing, yellow dog sumbitch he is. If a cold-blooded. lying prick like Rick Perry can be elected President of these United States, I truly am done with this country forever. Elect a Bush once, shame on you. Hijack the Supreme Court and install another Bush, shame on you. But after all that if we elect another Bush, well, that’s shame on all of us. Even Barack fucking Obama would make a better president than this cattle-less waste of hat.

Dominionists, No, we can’t have too many Dominionists, not after they’ve worked so hard at turning Jesus Christ into a blunt object suitable for cracking walnuts and busting heads. Hilariously, the WaPost gave free space to a Christianist who’s not a Dominionist, and he got slaughtered in the comments (so much so they’ve throttled them so you have to manually keep clicking to keep reading but do click and do read. And no, I don’t think America is ready for candidates who praise Jesus just as often as they spit on liberals.

What miracle?

Americans no longer have any confidence in America and I don’t have enough fingers (and toes) to point to all the reasons why but here’s a chart

Bachmann flunks another fact checking and yet another blogger finds it necessary to rerun THE FREAKING VIDEO OF BACHMANN CALLING GAYS “PART OF SATAN” because the right refuses to believe the shit she’s said (which does make sense because they know how many lies they tell about us, so why wouldn’t we lie about them?)

A reminder that you can’t win the Ames Straw Poll if you don’t spend a lot of money [and a reminder of how much the last straw poll was worth to the winner]

I will defend Obama on one count, and one count only. Ryan Rhodes, a Tea jackass in Iowa, called Obama out on the thinnest most specious charge imaginable:

“He just denied [that Joe Biden called Tea Party members terrorists]. He said the vice president didn’t make any of those assertions,”Rhodes said.  “If he doesn’t want to even admit what was on TV nationally — all over the place — then how can you have a conversation?”

All over the place being on Fox News. There is zero footage of Biden saying this because all the stories are based on hearsay coming out of a closed meeting, and most of the hearsay attributes the terrorist remark to Rep. Mike Doyle. Fox News is whipping their viewers into a frenzy over hearsay that is almost positively false because had Biden actually said it, Fox would have produced their wiretap of him saying it.
