"There's a lot of opposition to the military's call for repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. And all the naysayers are scared of the same thing - gay penis."
I just saw this segment on Current TV, and it completely broke my heart. There are few things in this world that are sadder than starving glue-sniffing children orphaned by AIDS that bathe themselves in bloody water runoff from a slaughterhouse.
If there are sadder things, I have no interest in seeing it, thank you very much.
MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan calls out Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and particularly Glenn Beck's assertion that the snow storm on the east coast proves global warming is a hoax. Complete with his own chalkboard!
The GOP is usually the perfect minority party. They don't have any solid ideas and "No" fits conveniently on a bumper sticker. Not being in power usually grants them the ability to hide their lack of ideas.
Unfortunately for the Republicans, Democrats pointed out that they haven't been providing their own ideas, and they finally did. The result? They propose a budget that absolutely decimates both Social Security and Medicare.
That's right. The same folks who five months ago were warning that Obama's plan to make Medicare more efficient would be the equivalent of "pulling the plug on Grandma," are not advocating for what equates to a complete abolition of the project.
And they're doing it with a straight face. At first, they tried avoiding talking about it, and instead focused on the budget they proposed last year. The budget that was universally panned for NOT INCLUDING ANY NUMBERS.
And it's all because liberals are secretly Nazis, all according to the National Review wacko Jonah Goldberg.
The Daily Show followed Rachel Maddow's excellent piece yesterday in mocking the effort from FOX News and other Republican organizations to present the snow storm on the East Coast as if it is evidence that climate change is a hoax. Be warned of global darkening!
You know we live in a pretty amazing world when a snow storm is presented by a political party as serious evidence that global climate change is a hoax perpetrated on the American people by Al Gore and his profiteering.
In the way that only she can, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow explains the absurdity of the idea that "In politics right now, whatever we are looking at right this instant disproves everything else we know about the world."
A snow storm does not disprove global climate change just as:
One person winning the lottery does not disprove a poor economy
Rain in the desert does not mean deserts do not exist
A healthy person smoking a cigarette does not mean they're healthy
The existence of monkeys does not disprove evolution
The Daily Show last night had a very funny segment on last night that had John Oliver traveling to Hawaii to join Michael Steele for the winter meeting of the Republican National Committee. The clip has Republicans explaining precisely why those rich elitist liberals are so disconnected from the average American while simultaneously staying in a hotel that has its own private submarine.
