Well…just read about a new suit that has been filed in Wisconsin that is attempting to overturn their constitutional amendment against same sex marriage…which is not too unusual given that all of those laws and amendment violate the 14th amendment’s equal protection clause…one thing that these pricks in Wisconsin did that has flown under the national radar exposes the hate they have for gays in their state…the so-called “marriage evasion” law that makes it a criminal offense for gays to go to other states and get married…yep, you heard it right…in Wisconsin, it is illegal for anyone to go to another state to “contract a marriage that is prohibited or void in Wisconsin”…basically saying that Wisconsin’s laws trump the laws of any other state…and anyone doing that can go to jail for 9 months and have to pay a $10,000 fine…just don’t know what to say about the hate filled asses that could write and pass such a law…but we do know who signed it into law…everyone’s buddy ole Scott Walker…try running for president on that you idiot…geez…

Here’s another problem with the right…
Well…not sure if you watched the interview that Obama did with ole Billo before the SB, but I thought Obama did a good job at stabbing at the premise of Fox news and the fact that the “scandals” they report on are mostly only scandals since they are the ones pushing them as scandals. One of the inferences that has been made on Fox news for quite a while now is that Obama must have know what was going on in some IRS office in Cleveland and probably even was in on planning who was to get audited by that office…even though there is no paper trail or any person saying that he was…and, what president would have time for that? Then, of course, the right then goes on to complain that, if he didn’t know what was going on, he should resign since he is a bad president by not knowing. Got that logic? Okay, now let’s look at the reaction of the right to Christie’s shenanigans in NJ….and the theme that comes through all of the right’s reaction is that of course he couldn’t have had anything to do with it…after all, he said he didn’t and that should be good enough for anyone…and how dare you question anything a repub does? So, Obama should resign for something some far-removed subordinate did but Christie should stay in office for something his inner circle did….yep, doesn’t make much sense but the right never does…they always feel that they can do whatever they want even if it is against the law, but if they even think in their fevered brains that a dem might have, could have, or thought about doing the same things, they should be lined up and shot…what must it be like to live in one of those fevered brains? Don’t want to find out….geez…
Last one for the month…
Well…have a few minutes so I thought I’d get the last one for the month done before pool today so I won’t have to think about it…but, I’m not sure what to write about so it may be a little disjointed….I did want to comment on the whining, whining, whining that ole Mitt and his wife are doing about losing the election…my god, get over it! It was 15 months ago..you lost…but that doesn’t stop them from continually trying to assert that the country would be better off with ole Mitt as president…and the 1% would be, of course, but the rest of the country? Not for a minute….man, what is it about the rich that makes them such whiners? Just go back to your 10 homes and car elevators and leave the rest of us alone…even when Al Gore had the election stolen by the supreme court, you didn’t hear him whine about it…he went on to other things and got on with his life…geez…
The republican response to their war on women…
Well…have just been reading about the new repub talking point that will try to distract voters from their war on women…a war that is clear from what they do, trying to restrict birth control access, trying insert the government into women’s healthcare decisions, and trying to charge women more for their insurance since they have “ladyparts” that are more complex than men’s parts and can cost their friends in the insurance industry more money for claims. But now, the new talking points are out and here is what they consist of: trying to say that the dems are really the ones who are pushing the war on women since Bill Clinton fooled around…yep…the false equivilency that they have been pushing in the media for years, that the haters and racists on the right are the same as the social justice folks on the left is now being rolled out to try to say that one man cheating is the same as an entire party who makes it their reason for being to restrict the rights of women. Just another bit of idiocy from one of the best idiots on the right, Rand Paul…I just can’t remember a more stupid thing to say in a long, long time…even with a bunch of these folks on the right trying hard to beat it every day…geez…
The repub response…
Well…I’m not sure if you saw the repub response to the SOTU last night, but all I can say is wow…wow…how low can you set the bar and still have a bar to jump over? It was the most inane bit of nonsense I have ever heard…but, of course, Chuck Todd is calling it a masterpiece…what the hell speech did he watch? I laughed out loud when the idiot delivering it said that the repubs want everyone to make their own healthcare decisions…but, this is the idiot that voted to eliminate the birth control benefit in Obamacare…40 times…and has gleefully voted for more and more restrictions on women making their own health decisions by making abortions harder and harder to get. Now, I should not be surprised that the repubs talk like this, but the rest of the speech where it was all platitudes, all the time with no specifics on policy is the playbook that was used all across the country to get these hard right asses elected..if they open their mouths about what their true plans are, they would be laughed out of the election…or maybe even the country….so, don’t believe the spin that the pundits are putting on this stinker of a speech…the bar is set so low that even ole GW couldn’t trip over it…geez…
Need to get caught up…
Well…I’ll have to admit that I didn’t watch the SOTU speech last night…and, coming from a political junkie, that is saying something…it’s not like I didn’t want to hear it…from what I’ve read, it had some pretty good ideas in it…things like mother, apple pie, and chevrolet that no one should be able to argue with….and even a couple of pokes in ole Boehner’s eye for wasting the country’s time with 40 votes to repeal Obamacare…but, I just couldn’t get interested in it…I think it may have more to do with the mind-numbing weather we’ve had this winter…It has started to really affect my mood and every time I think about the fact that it is not going to get better any time soon, I slide a little deeper down in the trough…I wonder if it is SAD? But, as you can see, I am running behind for the month and I do need to to a few more of these today so if you think they are a waste of time, don’t read….I will try to get to a political one later…oh, there was one good story that I wanted to share….a NY congressman threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony after the reporter asked him about the investigation into the reps ethics…can you guess if he was a repub or a dem? Yep, you’ve got it…another bully repub who thinks he can do or say anything without consequence…geez…
Dave Agema is still an idiot…
Well…if you haven’t been living in a cave over the past month or so, you have heard about the loathsome comments that the repub committeeman Dave Agema made…casting gays as murder victims and aids carriers and making the assertion that there has not been one incidence where a Muslim has done anything good for the US…these were bad enough, butt then this week, he stood in front of a repub group here in GR and doubled down on the comments, playing the normal conservative whine card that the media is trying to silence him with political correctness…yadda, yadda. Nope, Dave, you’ve got that wrong…no one is trying to silence you…especially those of us who are progressives…we just love it when you right wing idiots expose the truth of the repub party… breaking through the veneer of lies that have gotten Walker elected in Wisconsin and Snyder elected here in Michigan. One of the ironies here is that old Dave thinks that he has the right to spew his hate without consequence, but when people call him out on it, he wants those critics to be silenced so he can continue to foment hate and racism…but, Dave, it doesn’t work that way…sure, you get to be a hate filled asshole and I will defend your right to say whatever you want, but, your critics also get to call you out on your nonsense and you don’t get to play the martyr card to somehow justify your hate…keep it up, Dave, you are the best thing that has happened to we progressives here in Michigan in a long time…geez…
The problem with religion in schools…
Well…reading a news story about how the chrisitanists in Louisiana are illegally allowing religion in their public schools, it points out just how far these supposed religious people will go to impose their brand of religion on everyone and use it as a weapon to intimidate those who have different religions. In a middle school in Louisiana, one teacher even goes so far as to teach her classes that the bible ” is 100% true”, and that “evolution is impossible” and that a buddhist student is stupid for not believing in her god. The response of the superintendent of schools there was even worse…when the parents complained of the teachers bullying of their son, this idiot suggested that the child “change his religion” since they live in the bible belt, or change schools…not a word about the illegality of this teacher’s action but just get he hell out of here if you are not a christian. This is what is wrong with these christian terrorists…they are no better than the Taliban who also want to impose their twisted interpretation of a religion at the point of a gun….but Louisiana uses the full force of the government to do it…I hope the ACLU will be successful in making these folks understand that the first amendment applies to them…geez…
This is just stupid…
Well…have been reading this morning as I always do and came upon a little article that just focused on how stupid the states that are controlled by repubs have become…in Virginia, Texas, and other states, it is illegal to carry signs or flags on sticks into the state capital since they are “dangerous weapons” and can be used to injure people…but, in those same states, it is perfectly legal to carry handguns and rifles into these same capitals…in Virginia, while they were confiscating the signs that gun violence protesters were carrying, a group of gun rights protesters were waved through the same checkpoints carrying loaded assault rifles and pistols I guess since guns are never dangerous. In Texas, female visitors to the capitol had their tampons confiscated since they were also “dangerous weapons” while gun owners were allowed to carry their guns in strapped across their backs. What the hell is happening in this country? Have all the red states put stupid drugs in the water supply? I can’t think of any other explanation…geez…
Are there topics?
Well…have been doing a few things around here but have, thankfully, not thought much about topics to write today..I do know that I have used this computer so much since I got it that I have worn the paint off the e, d and almost the c keys and there are times that I forget where they are and have to think about it..but, not now…just wanted to comment on the statements that ole Mike Huckabee made the other day, addressing some repub meeting or something…this idiot just can’t keep his mouth shut about women…something that the paternalistic idiots on the right all have a problem with…this nutjob came out and said that women vote democratic because government is the “sugar daddy” that provides them with free birth control…now, this is so wrong on so many levels that it is hard to chose which to comment on…I do want to say “WTF”…providing a medication that does so much for women’s health and gives them the opportunity to control their reproduction is now only to get their votes? What the hell else do we expect from these idiots on the right who think the only value women have is to be baby factories and anything that interferes with that is against the will of god? I have really, really had enough of hearing from any of these morons…geez…
