Well…there hasn’t been any stupid politicians doing stupid things for me to comment on and it is making this really difficult…all the low hanging fruit has been picked and I am a little irritated…well…there was one…the idiot secretary of state of Kansas, Kris Kobach, was on his radio show the other day and just couldn’t resist the thought in his fever ridden brain that Obama is going to order that no black person that commits any crime in the US be prosecuted…yep…these guys have gotten so stupid that they think this is possible if not probable that Obama will do what they themselves have done in the past…where were the repubs when the white guys from ole GW to the CIA decided that the laws on torture didn’t apply to them? I am just so sick of the crazy in this country being passed off as normal….this is just some batshit crazy stuff and this idiot should be thrown out of office today for this nonsense…geez…

The Kansas experiment ends…
Well…it has been said that the states are the laboratories of government where things are tried to see how they work…and there hasn’t been a state that has been more experimental than Kansas over the past 4 years where a repub takeover of the government has been the laboratory for all of the “ideas” that the repubs have for government and how it should work. You know what this means…slashing taxes, cutting spending, more abortion restrictions…yada, yada….and guess what? As every economist that didn’t graduate from Liberty University will tell you, these thing do not work to spur growth in the economy or job creation but they keep trying it anyway. We now see what these policies do on a large scale….a deficit of over 300 million dollars due to tax cuts for the rich and corporations…slashing of spending on education and public projects such as roads and bridges and a regression to last on every measure of economic growth. Not surprising, since this is an ideology driven government, not a fact based one and one thing the repubs do in all parts of life is do things on faith even though a century of economic history shows their ideas have never worked…ever. Now, it looks like the repubs are going to pay by losing the governorship, one senate seat and many seats in the house since the people have had enough of the excuses…Brownback, the governor, has even tried to blame his mess on Obama…standard protocol when these idiots screw up…can’t happen to a nicer bunch…geez…
The facts are in…
Well…as you know, I have been doing wedding stuff for the past few days and haven’t really had any desire to do any political stuff but today is different…there have finally been studies done on the ALEC pushed economic policies of cutting budgets, tax cuts for the rich, and deregulation, and guess what? All of that right wing conservative nonsense is just that, nonsense…and the facts are in to prove it. In all states that have implemented those policies, including Michigan, growth is slower, jobs are scarcer, and budgets are in disarray. Take the state that has implemented more of this nonsense than any other, Kansas, who trails the entire country in job creation and has a huge hole in its budget that is a direct result of tax cuts for the wealthy and business that shifted the burden to the lower and middle class. And now, who does the idiot governor Brownback blame? Obama, of course…and tax increases that are only figments of Brownback’s imagination…and the funny thing is that the deficit is falling faster than ever under Obama and the federal government ran a 120 billion dollar surplus last month. I want this moron to tell me how federal policies that apply across the country only hurts red states? I hope we can use these studies to hammer these idiots this fall…but, most of the country is not fact-based so maybe it won’t work…geez…
The crazy has exploded in Kansas…
Well…I have been working up the outrage I need to do this one but a new law in Kansas is so jaw-droppingly crazy that I am struggling with how to even describe it…let’s give it a try…yesterday, the Kansas house passed a new law that says that anyone working in any job can refuse to provide services to anyone they suspect to be gay and use the “religious” excuse…and there are no exemptions for police, firefighters, or state employees…so now, in Kansas, if a firefighter pulls up to house that is on fire and he thinks the owner looks gay, he can just drive away without any consequences and let the persons house burn down…the same for any police officer there…if he/she sees a crime in progress and they think the victim looks gay, they can then just walk or drive away and leave the person to fend for themselves…and, the same goes for any state employee…if you walk into the DMV and the clerk thinks you look gay (whatever that is) they can refuse to provide the service they are being paid to do…what the hell is wrong with Kansas? They must know that this crap is against federal law and will be struck down…so why do they want to spend millions defending this institutional discrimination instead of using the money to benefit the people of Kansas? I just have no more words about this crap…geez…
What the hell is wrong with Kansas?
Well…just got back from a drive int he car and read this jaw dropping piece of crap out of Kansas…an anti-abortion protester whose group has been behind the efforts to close the last clinic there has come up with a novel idea….he went to the Kansas City city council and told them that the clinic should be closed since there could be “gun violence” there with the escorts of the women needing these services being armed…no matter that all of the gun violence there has been by people from the anti groups shooting the doctors that perform this service….what this amounts to is the old protection racket the the mob used to do…close down these clinics or we won’t be responsible for what happens to them…and it’s not our fault if someone shoots someone associated with the clinic…wink, wink…what this ass is saying is a blatant threat that another crazy will take as a call to action…he should be arrested at least for inciting violence or even for incitement to murder….when are the rest of the people in that state going to tire of this kind of crap? That some crazy assed religious nut can impose his crazy assed religion on everyone? I’ve had enough of this crap…geez..
A surprise for the gun nuts in Kansas…
Well…I guess they never saw this one coming…after the repub Kansas legislature passed a new law that would allow teachers to carry guns in their classrooms, the insurance company that writes 90% of the insurance for Kansas schools said they will not cover any school where the teachers carry guns…citing study after study that you are much more likely to get shot by someone that you know or a family member than you are by a stranger…I can only speculate that the insurance company thinks facts trump ideology…something you never have to worry about with the repubs….oh, and the other companies that cover the remaining 10% said exactly the same thing…no guns or no coverage….wonder what the repubs will do now? Embrace big government socialism and self-insure? Can these folks get any more stupid? Geez…
Let’s add this nonsense from Kansas…
Well…this is really going to be a short one but again, I felt I had to comment on some repub nonsense…this time from the governor of Kansas, Sam Brownback…it seems that the governor’s staff took issue with a tweet from an 18 year old high school senior that was not complimentary to the governor…and then proceeded to contact the principal of the school who then called the young woman in to his office to try to force her to send a written apology to the governor. Now, there are so many things wrong with this that I don’t have to state them…let’s just say it’s another instance where the repubs have no idea what is in the first amendment to the constitution or how that amendment protects even students rights to speak freely and express their opinions…aren’t you getting tired of this nonsense…I sure am…geez…
