Amazingly (cough), the web site organizing the May Day protest seems to be rather difficult to access with my web browser - whichever of NetScrap, IECarumba, FireFox, Opera, or Chrome I try to use.

Share and Enjoy!

Since the blatant Republicant partisanship, the conservative corporate sellouts, and the wingnut welfare that current individual members of the United States Supreme Court have been engaging in haven't yet been cause enough to impeach (much less investigate, or even question the judicial impartiality of) any of the Reich wing clowns on the Supreme Court, will we finally be able to consider it once the Supremes dismember the Affordable Care Act?

Now that the reich wing Republicants running all that pink ribbon crap you've been seeing all season long have finally exposed themselves to be the religiously insane female controlling farging iceholes that they are, are there three of you willing to donate a quarter of a million dollars each to cover up the shortfall over at Planned Parenthood?

Also, too: can anyone tell me why there's such a huge fuss about $680K of discretionary funding coming from an organization that reported earnings of approximately 400 million dollars in 2010? So much so that you can't even donate the equivalent of some of your executive bonuses for the year to Planned Parenthood due to your religious insanity?

Update: Big time props to NY Mayor Bloomberg for matching $250K for Planned Parenthood. Are there two more insanely rich people ready to step up to the plate?

Update too: PP has gotten more, with less sanctimonious lip-pursing, than they would have from the Komen Foundation. And even more people see Nancy Brinker and the rest of the conservative corporate welfare queens at Komen for what they are.

Now, if there were only at least one relatively well off liberal who could put half of Brinker's annual salary towards helping out some of the less fortunate liberals out there...

The Funny Farm, along with The Church of the Afternoon Nap, would like to ask you, dear reader, to heed the words of our good friend and internets guru, Marc Perkel. He has been the driving force behind The Church of Reality for a while now, and he would like to talk to us all about the (warning: horking big PDF file) Stop Online Piracy Act and some reality-based solutions to the problem that avoid all that messy treasonous internets-killing Republicant kimchee in the previous link.

I'll let Marc take it from here:

About that blogging thing - it seems to me that the whole writering thing is not going to be feasable within a survival-mode lifestyle. At least that is the way I feel about it these days. Especially with the tremendous amount of feedback (cough) that has gotten through the cone of spammy silence I've put up around the funny Farm.

But, hey - I'm not here to ask you (again) to help me get through the Bush Depression. I might not be here soon at all if we get a Chinese-style internets policy like the one percent are trying to put in place.

I'm here to tout Get Your censor On, the latest effort by David Rees (I hope - I didn't see, during my brief mad scan before posting this, any accreditation for David* - that this is something he's put together). He has a ton of good stuff up already, and you can monitor his newest material through a new entry in the links zone over to the left. For as long as they let any and/or all of us stay on the internets.

A couple of haikus in honor of Get Your censor On:

Go haiku yourself!

Share and Enjoy!

* - then again, I don't do Facebook and the Twitter so I didn't check out the facebook info associated with the Get Your censor On page...

There's been a lot going on this summer, and I haven't the desire to talk about the Republicant scorched earth policy too much*. But the tragedy in Norway points to a problem that really hasn't been mentioned as a problem in the discussions I have seen (and tried to comment on**) about the right wing christian terrorist:

This clown might have said that he was an Islamaphobe, but he was killing liberals at a liberal youth camp. Can we please agree that the liberal bashing has gone on long enough? And that the reich wing media is letting this slide, and has been doing so for years?

I can only imagine the hand wringing from the Cheetos brigade if anyone even remotely liberal suggested that conservative right wing christian terrorists and their supporters in the media should be hunted.

Funny how that works...

* - a) what can be said that hasn't already been said (and then twisted, lied about, and fearmongered about by the conservative media)? And b) why bother wasting my breath (and drawing attention to myself) when the Reich wing Republicants (especially the teabaggers) are going to continue their liberal jihads anyway?

** - I'm not quite sure what unsavory activities I may have been up to, but for some reason I can't seem to get a comment posted at Balloon Juice - I'm guessing that my email has been flagged as spam. If anyone over there sees this, would you please email me and let me talk to you about how I can stop this from happening...

The Funny Farm News Burro is excited to announce that Stephen Colbert has been allowed to form Colbert SuperPac. Here's a couple of YouTube videos of the post announcement, as well as one of the official vote.

This is going to be such a wild ride! Looking at the official request to the FEC from Colbert's team, one thing immediately leaps out to me - Stephen Colbert does not need to worry about any sort of employment issues until after the election...

Hey, Stephen - fifty year old unemployed (for two and a half years) blogger who just started a small business to try and survive because no one will hire me in the real world*. Can you throw me some of that SuperPac cash to write something political for you and help determine the 2012 election? I can practically assure you that I could put some unique perspective on the political landscape. Email me and let me know how I can be a part of the team.

* - there are a couple of people who are giving me the opportunity to work for them - for outside workers' hours and cash. I'm dealing with a couple of physical problems (some for the better!) as a result and still looking for gainful employment in the real world.
