How about trying to appoint someone to the state school board of Texas who not only has written a book that there should be a religious test to run for office, but homeschooled her kids, and calls public schools tools of perversion _and_ unconstitutional.

Sometimes, very rarely in a man's life, can he say he saw or heard perfection. And here it is, right before your eyes by the deep magic of the Internet. You can not take or add a thing. This cathedral of ineptitude is pristine, perfect. It's the Sistine Chapel of fuckwit.
We can all die happy men now - we've found the one, perfect cherry blossom we spent our lives searching for.
 
On Tuesday, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) made the following statement regarding the Minnesota Senate election:
 
Georgia state senators prepare to save their constituents from affordable health care, Medicare and Medicaid

Their plan:
The proposed amendment would, Hill and Rogers said, would allow Georgia to invoke the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That amendment says that any power not explicitly granted the federal government in the Constitution is preserved for the states.

Hill and Rogers argue that the health care reform bill being debated in Congress would violate the 10th Amendment and that their state amendment would protect Georgia from having to participate in any federal reform.

The stupid in the face of facts continues to astound me. Take this statement, for instance:
But when pressed about details of the Democrats

1. A recent national poll reported that nearly 25% of Americans want the government to pass more socialism. Do you agree or disagree?

Do I agree that a national poll reported nearly 25% of Americans want more socialism?

Do I agree that nearly 25% of Americans want more socialism?

Do I agree with the nearly 25% of Americans who want more socialism?

I'm so confused.
 
I say it would've counted if you posted it in the Congresswoman with the crazy eyes thread.

Maybe there should be a few sticky Pit threads. This one, one for her, and one for Palin...

What Rep. Issa is talking about is the Federal Advisory Committee Act ("FACA") (5 USC Appx 2). FACA applies to any committee that is (1) convened or controlled by the executive, (2) makes a consensus recommendation to the Agency head or President AND (3) includes at least one person who is NOT a officer or employee of the U.S.

If all three conditions apply, then FACA applies and the committee meetings must be open to the public (and the public must be given notice that they are occurring), the committee must include representatives from all interested groups, and certain recordkeeping requirements must be met. Basically, its a much bigger pain in the neck to be a FACA committee than not.

In 1993, this came up when Mrs. Clinton championed health care reform efforts. Her commission consisted entirely of federal officers & employees, except for her. The U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia found that the First Lady is, for purposes of FACA, a federal officer or employee.

The point is, this area of law is getting a hard look by Congress for several good reasons (which can be referred to as "Cheney" and "Mrs. Clinton", to save time).

I do think Rep. Issa is taking the wrong course with the most popular first lady in 40 years (he's gonna get stomped like a grape in Napa), but the topic is one where reasonable (but geeky) lawyers are having meaningful discussion about what should be done.

So there's already a law that covers this, or am I not understanding something.
 
What the hell does that picture mean? Is he mocking Al Franken? Is that a character portrayed by Al Franken in that picture? Is he saying Al Franken is harmless or stupid or what? Help! I don't get it! :mad:

And the punchline that you're supposed to "get" is that our president is a nigger spook.

You'd think that a joke that's been making the rounds for 400+ years would be a bit stale by now. Apparently there's a lot of neaderthals who still think it's as funny as that time that Og Jr. threw the bear femur in the air and it came down on his head.

To be fair, the femur thing was pretty funny.

Virginia Foxx is the same rep who claimed that calling Matthew Shepard's murder a gaybashing is a hoax.

And the same rep who said that healthcare reform is a bigger threat than terrorism.

She's also the one who said that no one should ever depend on government for their livelihood. A noble sentiment, until one considers that she had spent her ENTIRE adult life working for the government in one capacity or another.
 
The 'there' which was there was to remind people of Hillary Clinton's long record of dishonesty, chicanery and file/evidence manipulation.

Interesting information regarding the disappearing Foster/Whitewater files and Hillary's chicanery with regard to that subject can be found here.

Hopefully the fact that it comes from the NY Times and was written by William Safire will prevent the usual claims of partisanship that often accompanies attempts to highlight one of the numerous Clintonian wrongdoings.

As far as my comment about Foster's 'odd death', I was merely referring to the flurry of suspicious White House activity that surrounded it and not that Hillary herself was complicit in his death. As I said to Equipoise, if I'd had any reasonable belief that Hillary Clinton caused Vince Foster's death, I'd have been trumpeting it to the rooftops instead of couching it in innuendo in a scant couple of posts having to do with her unsuitability for the presidency.

I didn't have the stomach to read entirely through that lying pile of crap, but I do like her idea about ice floes. Let's put all the stupid wingnuts on ice floes and set them adrift in the Pacific ocean.

Whether you know or realize it or not, Jane Siberry is a National Canadian Treasure. Celine, Ann, Bryan and other mainstream music makers get all the attention and the money, but Jane's music will be what musicians, musicologists and discerning music lovers will be praising (now and) in the future.

But now when we tease her about it, she's appropriately shamed. :)

That's too bad. She got mainstreamed. She was right in the first place.
