Some Thoughts For Your Morning

- Is it just me, or is anyone else troubled that Bristol Palin is going to make more money per speech than the average public school teacher makes in one year? Don't you just love conservative's version of "America".

- Considering that Fox"News" viewers favor ratings over accuracy, I'm curious as to what they have to say about Glenn Beck's continuing decline in the former category? It's almost a given that they won't care and Beck will likely attribute this to come Marxist/Communist/Maoist/Fascist/Socialist/Nazi/Stalinist/Leninist/Progressive plot.

- While some conservatives are crowing like Peter Pan on crack about Rand Paul's primary win against Trey Grayson last night, one has to wonder why they haven't noticed that around 50% more Democrats turned out to vote than Republicans.

- And right on cue, Fox"News" and conservatives run to the defense of Miss USA runner up Morgan Elizabeth Woolard. She certainly has her talking points in order more than Carrie Prejean did, and the Three Stooges of Morning TV are more than willing to hold her hand and help her out.

- Glenn Beck, who is enjoying his worst ratings since starting with Fox"News" has now turned to the lead astro-turfing organization for the Tea Baggers, FreedomWorks for support. And while Beck has made a nice sum of money off the paranoia of the Tea Baggers, it seems that he's finally realizing he can tap into more cash by latching onto Dick Armey.

Some Thoughts For Your Morning

- Sarah Palin's sad attempt to hang onto any shred of notoriety found itself nestled in the odd confines of EBay recently. The disgraced former governor of Alaska was auctioning off a dinner with her to some poor sap willing to dish out more money than the average American makes in a year for the dubious "honor" of sitting across the table from her. However, this auction wasn't open to everyone. After all, this is about Palin donating money for tax-write-off purposes...........oh, I mean for "charity".

- A video has surfaced of a Fox"News" "producer" urging the crowd at the 9/12 rallies to cheer longer and louder when prompted. So, if Fox is allegedly impartial in these matters, then why would this woman be rallying the people? Oh, that's right..........

- Did you know that the CBO ( Congressional Budget Office ) that the right-wing conservative set has had such joy in referencing this past summer has released a new study that shows proposed Cap-and-Trade legislation would cost American families around $160 per year? That's 44 cents per day. Wonder why Mitt Romney is still using the already debunked $1761 per year number?

- Bill Moyers, whom my uber-conservative Aunt and Grandmother have been watching for years, recently did a piece on Dick Armey ( the point-man behind FreedomWorks ) and his current lawsuit to keep his government controlled healthcare plan. And, as we all know, Dick is also one of the point-men behind the "grassroots" Tea Party nonsense. But wait, don't they want government OUT of the healthcare industry? Ah, I love the smell of conservative hypocrisy on a Monday morning.

- Apparently, there was a wingnut convention somewhere in the US called the Values Voters Summit, and former governor Mike "I <3 Bass Guitar And Chuck Norris" Huckabee won the "straw poll" for potential presidential candidates. He even beat out Sarah Palin nearly 2 1/2 times over. Even though it's a poorly constructed and coneived idea ( because no matter what, a wingnut wins ) this just may say something of Palin's popularity at this point in the game.

- It seems that James O’Keefe, the VERY white guy that dressed completely unconvincingly as a pimp - yet somehow managed to dupe a few ACORN workers in the US - has a very interesting reason for going after the group. It doesn't sit well with him that ACORN registers minorites. And as we all know, most minorities are going to vote Democratic, as the Republican party has done nothing to make them feel like they were the same as white Americans since Lincoln ended slavery.
