Why Does Sarah Palin Want To Attend The Alfalfa Dinner?

She always wanted to meet Spanky and Buckwheat. But she still thinks Darla is a whore.

For those who don't know, the Alfalfa Club invites politicians and elite business people from all over the country for an annual dinner marking the birthday of Robert E. Lee.

Yeah, I know. Kinda weird. Think how weird it really got with an African American President speaking at it. If General Lee were alive today, he'd feel like right git now, wouldn't he?

Meet the New Leaders of the Republican Party

A.K.A...

Even When It's Oozy and Creepy, Progress is Still Progress

Well, it's official-- Michael Steele, former lieutenant governor of Maryland, is the new Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

And like any politician, Dem or GOP, he comes with his own weirdness:

His 2006 Senatorial Campaign. Note that he was indeed running Republican; perhaps this was just a misprint from the printers...?


THEN he was caught hiring homeless men from Philly to pass out misleading literature to the black denizens of his district:

Then there's that shit went down in Compton:

(AP) Republican Senate candidate Michael Steele on
Wednesday called President Bush his "homeboy," reversed course on having the
president campaign for him and said he was joking when he described his
Republican affiliation as a scarlet letter.

But my personal favorite is that Mike Tyson was married to his step-sister. That doesn't mean shit, really, I just found it fascinating.



But I'm a little crushed. I was so rooting for Sarah Palin.

Then again, maybe this obscenely transparent ploy will actually work out for the Rethugs. Maybe Steele can bring in more diversity, more moderates. Maybe the Dems aren't the only party experiencing change...

AH! GOTCHA! Dude, seriously?

Obama Lesson #42: How To Stand Up to a Bully

1. Invite all his friends (Bill Kristol, George Will, Charles Krauthammer) to a really bitchin' party

2. Make sure information is 'leaked' to the media about the really bitchin' party.

3. Float a rumor around that the Bully has a good chance of getting invited to the really bitchin' party.

4. Then don't invite him.

Appendix to #4: Make damn sure he finds out the food was REALLY good.

And then watch hilarity ensue!

Please Remember This Man Is A Drug Addict

It doesn't really matter if Rush Limbaugh using or not. An addict is an addict is an addict, and always will be. And I don't think I need to tell you that an addict is a fucking drag to be around. Just remember that all the shit that comes out of his mouth are the words of a junkie.

And Rush Limbaugh is the worst kind of addict-- the kind that got clean because he got CAUGHT, and not because he wanted to get clean.

Unlike many in this country, I have no sympathy whatsoever for addicts. I stay away from them. They are chaos incarnate on two legs. They don't care about anyone but themselves. They cannot comprehend that the world is made up of bejillions of people, they only care about what THEY want. They lie. All the time. Especially to themselves.

Nope, no sympathy. No one forced that drink in your hand, or that needle in your arm, or those pills going down your throat. YOU made that choice. I chose to pick up my first cigarette 23 years ago. And I still struggle with it on a daily basis. Do I expect ANY sympathy from ANYONE? Of course I don't. That was MY choice.

However, in my own defense, I'm not going to embezzle from my workplace or steal from my parents or sell my ass on the street for a cigarette.

So when Limbaugh says he hopes our President fails and then screams like a sperm whale in heat because he was actually called out on it, please remember that this is the ranting of a junkie. What's the best way to deal with a junkie? Ignore them. And boycott their sponsors.

Weekly World Weed #1

Welcome to the inaugural (snick) installment of Weekly World Weed. Kind of think of it as our version of Parade magazine. Only interesting. And with weed.

Say it with me: Weed is not a drug. It's a supplement.

Man Waiting for Tools gets Brick of Marijuana

The Associated Press

DENTON, Texas -- A man in Denton, Texas who was expecting a shipment of
tools instead received a 30-pound brick of marijuana that police say is worth
more than $10,000. Officer Ryan Grelle says the man opened the box Monday night,
realized it contained drugs and contacted police.

The package from the Pharr area was handled by UPS in McAllen on Jan.
6. and apparently was intended for a Dallas address.

The Denton Record-Chronicle reports no such address exists in Dallas, so
the package wound up 40 miles to the northwest at the similar address in Denton.

Tobacco Ban Wafts into Amsterdam Pot Shops — but Joints still Legal

By Jeffrey StinsonUSA TODAY

AMSTERDAM — Starting next week, you'll still be able to legally smoke a joint in
the famously relaxed coffee shops of Amsterdam — but for a cigarette, you'll
have to step outside.
A tobacco ban that goes into effect Tuesday in the
Netherlands has both tourists and shop owners, like, totally confused, man.

"George, How Would You Like To Make $20,000 a Year?"

The surreality that surrounded the last days of the Bush Administration made Fellini's Satyricon look like a Disney vehicle for Orson Bean.

Ah, we truly must embrace these moments of life imitating art...

A Great American Tragedy

From Wikipedia:

"The banality of evil is a phrase coined by Hannah Arendt and incorporated in the title of her 1963 work Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil.[1] It describes the thesis that the great evils in history generally, and the Holocaust in particular, were not executed by fanatics or sociopaths but rather by ordinary people who accepted the premises of their state and therefore participated with the view that their actions were normal."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banality_of_evil

Yup.

Harry Truman left office with dismal approval ratings, but is regarded today as one of America's Greats. Like Bush, Truman took over the office from a very popular president (in his case, Franklin Roosevelt died). He had to make tough decisions about ending the bloodiest war the planet had ever witnessed and saving American lives. He had to face a post-war economy and recession. He barely squeaked out a electoral victory. He also got the US involved in an unpopular war which was basically his political undoing.

We don't know at this exact moment in time how history will look upon George Bush. But all I can say in the here and now is Mr. Bush, you are no Harry Truman.

We all know the crimes by now, so I don't feel any need to list them here. In fact, this post isn't about Bush-bashing, truly. It's about wasted opportunity. And here in the Land of Opportunity, that truly is a tragedy.

Unlike most Americans, I don't think Bush is a stupid guy. Even with wealth and privilege, the odds of a complete moron getting into the White house are slim. And someone who can pull the wool over the eyes of a couple hundred million Americans for a number of years has to have something going on upstairs. But it's the not the self-actualizing intelligence of a thoughtful man, but the cunning of a used car salesman who slaps a coat of paint on a lemon while stealing from the till and bangin' the boss's wife. He had the chance, the privilege, and the HONOR to help his fellow man. He could have been Michael Douglas in The American President. But he wound up being William H. Macy from Fargo.

There are plenty of folks out there more than happy to carry the torches and pitchforks. But I choose to deal with the Bush years with a little sadness. So much time, energy, money, lives, just wasted. He just pissed his potential into the wind. And now we have to clean it up.

But clean it up we shall. We've done it before.
