Oh, we're saved

Apparently there's a new Greek government in place that is willing to accept their banker deigned fate.

All Hail the Kleptocracy!

The media bullhorn given to the plutocrats and Villagers-for-life continues its profitable and responsibility-free call for our destruction. They get to make ALL the money, they get to be the ONLY voice that matters, and they get to pick the targets when we need to bomb yet another country so we don't get rusty. And who better than Evan Bayh to emit the dreck?

The Israelis may be able to launch a one off strike on Iran but they don’t have the ability for the kind of sustained bombing campaign that it would really take to degrade their nuclear arsenal. … You’d have to bomb them for several weeks in a row. There’s only one country that has that kind of capability and that’s the United States...We have to ask ourselves, is a nuclear Iran acceptable? If the answer is no, there’s really only one way to keep that from coming about and that’s the use of force.

It really is Evan Bayh's wondrous legacy that he managed to betray his father's good works so he could get rich and mainstream John Bolton's screeds.

A Lincoln-Douglas style debate

If it involves two idiots.

Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich met Saturday night in Texas, for an event dubbed by its Tea Party hosts and the candidates as a “modified Lincoln-Douglas” style debate.

I understand that infidelity beat inappropriate touching two falls out of three.

Earthquakes in Oklahoma?

And a 5.6 to boot? That's some old fault-line shit. Maybe they're fracking too much? Or maybe it's all those Sharia laws they're trying to pass?

Deadbeat Dud

The Family Research Council (aka the confederacy of hypocritical puritans) has awarded famous Republican Deadbeat Dad Joe Walsh an award for "family values".

As long as he hates gays as much as his own kids he's a winner in their book.

Wow, it's a real battle for sports asshole of the day

Is it NASCAR asshole Kyle Bush? ...at least there wasn't gunplay.

Or is it Steve Williams, former Tiger Woods' caddie managing the tremendous feat of making his boss look like a sympathetic figure via rather revolting racism?

"My aim was to shove it right up that black asshole," Williams said.

Then there's former rassler/bad actor/worse governor Jesse Ventura who is so offended by the loss of civil liberties via a discharged lawsuit that he says he's going to move to Mexico -- famed for its civil liberties. "He ain't got time to think". 

But I think, despite all these contenders, we have a winner yet unmentioned until now.

Well, I just remembered it's the 5th of November

Who better than someone possibly (only possibly) associated with the Koch Brothers to start the day off with a bang?
