Tuesday, 27 Conclusion 2008
There has been quite a bit of un-festive Christmas coal being put into america's stocking from the Putsch junta this week, and a couple of lumps (for good measure) from Obama to all of us liberal types:
Crooks and Liars (as well as a host of others) have pointed out the story emerging now about crackers who were hunting blacks (no - really, they were literally hunting down black people to shoot) while the Illegally Installed Drunken Cokeheaded Deserter was off playing the gee-tar and having birthday cake with McSenile in the wake of the Katrina clusterCheney;.
Drinky McDumbA$$ has just told anti-choice medical care workers they can now legally shame women for using birth control* if that's what their religiously insane beliefs tell them they should be doing (thanks to Rh Reality Check for finding this story and putting it out there for public consumption);
We've recently found out that one of the rich Republican't elitists has stolen enough money to fund a small country. No word yet on whether they'll actually be trying to get any of that money back, or even if there will be any sort of criminal charges brought in this case;
After weeks of faux concern by the current cabal about the failing american automotive industry, the Texas Souffle and his band of merry thieves in the White House appear to have decidered to throw them under the bus;
For some reason, the Republican't cabal running this coutnry into the ground United States government has been unable to account for the
700 billion dollars in federal bailout money that needed to be provided by Congress right away (no time to put oversight and accountability into the equation - besides, when have any Republican'ts ever been less than completely honest, aboveboard, and trustworthy?);
Some religiously insane racist Republican't bastiches killed someone because they (mistakenly) thought he was gay. He (and his brother) are both Hispanic, too - so you should expect a$$clowns like Oh!Really? tell us all that they deserved it. Funny how we've been hearing about the supposed violent backlash against the Prop Haters by teh gayz in the mainstream media quite a bit, but news reports on things like this that are available for public consumption seem to be somewhat harder to find;
And, finally, a couple of stories that might tickle your funny bone a bit:
Some awesome video goodness from our favorite Rude Pundit (personal disclosure - I kinda sorta knew Lizz Winstead way back when she was a regular ordinary wannabe journamalist (even before she was a veejay on MuchMusic in the early days of its' existence (along with CNN News talking head John (don't call me JD) Roberts)
A seasonal (cough) story, full of flavor - one might even say quite spicy (cough cough) (courtesy of our favorite Suburban Guerilla - Iowa city uses garlic salt to melt snow and ice.
The spotty blogging you have come to expect from the Funny Farm is not altogether all my fault (a newer version of Movable Type has been installed by my service provider, and I'm fumbling around trying to figure out how to do the things I have been doing around here), but will probably be continuing until at least the New Year. Happy Holly Days, everybody!
* - apparently, the United States government has a problem with keeping things in a static place in the Federal Register, so that people can actually take a look at them. Funny, how the Republican't iceholes in charge of the executive branch of the federal government seem to want to hide controversial decisions like this from public view when they feel they might be getting criticized for it...
