I know that I have been gone for a while and I apologise to those 78 of you page viewers a day that care. Please forgive me as you guffaw through this hilarity.

Jesus Heals The Gay Right On Out Of You!

I didn't know he could do that!

Response To Rick Perry

Vote for THIS guy.



It was in response to this incredibly unpopular Rick Perry video.

Gee, I wonder why people don't like it. Hmmmm.

Sarah Palin Could Not Be More Full of Shit

If any of you are seriously considering voting for her, you might also want to consider using Casey Anthony as your family babysitter, or ask Michelle Bachman to teach your child's American History class.

No Winners Here

Can we just get campaign finance reform already? I don't care which side of the aisle you sit on, this is just ridiculous. No one that works for any news organization should be giving to any politician EVER. 

My PSA of the Day

It's election time, and if you're like me you've been getting a ton of robo-calls at your home. Yesterday was a canned Bill Clinton reminding me to vote early because, "there's a lot riding on it."


Don't worry, I'm not going to make a bad joke. Not this time anyway. 


I vote by mail and we mailed them in over a week ago, so it's even more annoying than usual. If I tell one of you people that I already sent my ballot out, will you leave me alone? Clearly not. Here's a tip, though, for those of you who still have home phones. When you pick up the receiver and hear that canned message start up, dial star, pound, and the number zero. Or throw the phone and break it. I hear that works too. 

Sarah Palin's Book Is Out

Snore.


And if you are like me, you don't want to read it except for the good parts. Azaria over at Jezebel has done just that. She's correlated the bits where Palin blames her failure on other people and says Katie Couric is suffering from "low self esteem."
She also blames Nicole Wallace, a campaign aid, for everything from her bad interviews to the corns she got from walking to podiums.
Okay, I made that last part up, but read the article and watch the video of Nicole on Rachel Maddow's show.

Here's another site with a scathing review and an excerpt:

http://www.ginandtacos.com/2009/11/17/going-rogue/

If you are in a hurry, here is the succinct version of this review: Going Rogue is shit. It is groundbreaking in its banality and disregard for facts. If you are sentient, it will pain you to read it. Imagine watching your parents 69 one another while John Madden sits behind you and bellows out color commentary and you will have some idea of how excruciating and profoundly scarring it is to plow through each page of this wholly fictional monument to self-aggrandized mediocrity. Going Rogue is to the art of writing what the Holocaust is to the concept of a just God – the piece of disconfirming evidence so overwhelming that we are left questioning whether it can exist at all.

Michael Musto As Palin On Countdown, You Betcha!

Not as funny as Tina Fey but still way more charisma and inner beauty than the real thing.

Et Tu, Maine?

Everybody voted, the ballots are counted and a state that I thought was super liberal has overturned the gay marriage law. I guess I was wrong.

I am not a huge proponent of marriage, I think that civil unions are better for everyone, including straights, but why does fucking an entire part of our culture up the ass every few years seem to make some people (religious groups) so damn happy? I am not going to post the picture of them gleefully celebrating while gays and lesbians get their hearts broken. This is bad enough.

And New York? Bloomberg, for a THIRD time? Someone help me with this, it does not compute. Lawmakers like him changing the law to benefit only himself is beyond unacceptable, but you voted him back in on top of it! Blech!

Here in Ohio an issue allowing gambling finally passed, as did one changing county government to help rid us of some of the corruption that has been plaguing Cleveland for years now. I sure hope it works but I'm not holding my breath.

Remember last year? How excited and hopeful we all were because change was finally coming. Well, it looks like it is going to take a little longer than we thought it would.

Best Nihilistic Bumper Sticker Ever

If you ever see this on my (nonexistent) car, just hand me the pistol and I'll get it over quickly. Promise.

Obama's Whistle Stop Train Trip

This brings back memories of watching old news reels where Roosevelt or Truman would be smiling and waving from the back of the last train car, campaigning across the nation in the most efficient way available at the time. Only this time the campaign is over and we are about to have our first black president. I loved watching the videos on CNN of all the people smiling, crying and waving as our next president waved and smiled back. It was a nice gift to all the supporters on the east coast, and another way of showing how connected he is to the people who got him elected. What a breath of fresh air! Someone in power who talks to people and not down to them. Someone who cares about people's concerns and not just fattening the wallets of the 'good old boy' club. I hope that Barack enjoys these last couple of days before he is inaugurated. I hope he gets tipsy, smokes a doobie with the press corp, has some wild hanky panky with his wife and takes a long deep cleansing breath before thing become very serious very quickly. He has a long, hard road ahead of him, as do most of the rest of us. Good luck and God protect us all.

Farewell, Assclown

Did anybody watch Bush's buh-bye speech last night? If you didn't, you did not miss anything. It was a lot of jabber-jawing nonsense that any delusional Republican 6th grader could have written. It was pathetic. Lots of lies and poorly done spin control. There was no clapping until the very end but it seemed to me like he paused a few times as if he were expecting a standing ovation.

Go back to Texas, Dubya, and take all the bad Karma of the last eight years with you. You will not be missed.

That's Senator Al Franken to You

The canvassing board in Minnesota has finally tallied the votes and the winner is...Al Franken! By 225 votes! Thank you God, and please let him bring his brand of humor to the senate floor where it is so desperately needed. I cannot wait for his first Daily Show appearance after this. How much you want to bet that Jon Stewart calls him Senator Smalley?

Doggone It, People Like Him!

We still haven't found out who won the Senate race in Minnesota between Al Franken and Sen. Norm Coleman. There is a recount going on and a judge just ruled that Coleman couldn't block the count of 32 absentee votes from a heavily Democratic county (32, people, 32!). This is going to be close.

If you can't stand the suspense, watch some old Stewart Smalley on SNL or read Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars that Tell Them." HIGHLY entertaining, I promise.

Sorry, California

It looks like Proposition 8 is going to pass.
They should have listened to Tim Gunn.

This is How I Feel Today

Go look at the fabulous post-election pictures at the HuffPo. And admit it. You cried too.

Obama is the New President

I am thankful and happy beyond words. Yes.

Over 1,000 in Line to Vote at Penn State

If this doesn't prove that the youth vote is out in record numbers, I don't know what does. This line had formed by 7am, I assume at the HUB which is where students who live in dorms go to vote.
Interesting fact: only 14,000 were registered to vote in the primaries this past spring. There are 104,000 now registered for the presidential election in Centre County.

Barack Votes in Chicago

Remember that scene in the movie Election where Chris Klein's character votes for Reese Witherspoon because he thinks it's in poor taste to vote for yourself? That one vote made the difference in the election.

My point is, don't think that your vote doesn't count just because some pundit said that Obama is way ahead, or John McCain doesn't stand a chance.

By the way, we had the same no-privacy booths, about 15 of them at my polling place. I had to vote at a table that kept getting nudged by other voters because the booths were all taken. Almost screwed up my ballot 3 times, so be careful bumping people who are filling them out.

My Plan Tonight

Going to give the puppy her meds, hope the Steelers win, get a good night's sleep, get up early and vote along with the rest of you. Take a book to the polls because you never know, this is supposed to be the biggest voter turnout on record, and you could be there a while. Can't wait untill it's all over. Sweet dreams everybody.
