Conservative Lie Of The Day

Here's Minnesota Wingnut Senator Michelle Bachman talking with former comedian turned right-wing chew-toy Dennis Miller about the Obama Administrations Healthcare bill.

Well, what does that mean? That means that politicians are going to substitute their choice for your doctor’s choice for you. That’s exactly what this bill does. Here’s the other thing about that bill. It’s a monstrosity. I have the bill printed out on my desk, it’s over 1,000 pages long. On the 16th page, it says whatever health care you have now, it’s going to be gone within five years. So your current health care plan, you’re not going to have in five years. What you’re going to have is a government plan and a federal bureau is going to decide what you get or if you get anything at all.

To bad that's not what is one page 16.

One would think that the ability to not only read but understand basic english would be a prerequisite for gaining employment with the US Senate.

Advantage - Racheal

As I watched this last night, I was literally standing and cheering Racheal Maddow on.



From the jump, Buchanan frames his side of the debate around the fact that Sotomayor isn't qualified or is somehow less qualified because she hasn't written anything that he has read. Granted, her publications are limited, but simply because she hasn't made the NY Times Best Sellers List is a bit of a flimsy stance to take.

But then the other shoe drops and Buchanan calls her an Affirmative Action hire. The patently ignorant and racist side of Pat Buchanan seeps onto the screen from there.

I don't believe I have ever heard anyone state that because white men wrote the Constitution and The Declaration Of Independance that that is the reason that only white men should be appointed to the Supreme Court. And, if one follows Buchanan's logic all the way down, it means that only white mean should be allowed any high level job in government - and more than likely the private sector as well.

And to claim that not enough black men died during wartime to warrant their entire race from accending to any position of power - whether in government or the private sector - is one of the most disturbing and shameful things to even consider.

And to add to Maddow's explicitly valid point that Sotomayor has more judicial experience coming into her nomination, it should be stated that her experience is also unique, as she has heard cases involving 21 century technology that no other Supreme Court Justice ever has. In taking this into account, Sotomayor is truly more qualified than Pat Buchanan could possibly imagine.

It is people like Pat Buchanan, who are so overtly eager to play the victim any and everytime a person of differing ethnicity moves upward in this country, that are attempting to drag America back into an era where discrimination based on race, creed, color, and even religious affiliation was acceptable.

The Apollo 11 Anniversary

While many will look to the video of Apollo 11 launching into history, I thought I would take another look - into the realm of electronic music and its connection with the not only the Apollo missions, but the legacy of the NASA program and the inspiration that it has given us all.

Enjoy, and happy anniversary.

Who Bares The Mark?

This almost seems like some sort of cultish ritual where the women brand the kids in order to orient them into the tribe.



Or....

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Who's Your Decorator?

It seems that Sarah Palin is all about "tweeting" about bears in a style that that can only be described as a cross between a 7 year old attempting to summarize Proust and a crystal-meth addict on a bender trying to place a drive thru order at White Castle.

But, have you seen how her house is decorated?



I mean, is that the sitting room or where she stores last night's left-overs?
