Well…I was just going to call this one noodling around but I’ve used that one before and I didn’t want to get bored…there was something cool announced today where the people running the LIGO experiment said that they have detected gravity waves that came from two black holes that merged 1.5 billion light years away…scientists have been working on this one since the theory of general relativity was published in the early 1900′s and it is the last part that remained to be proven…..just love this science stuff….I have been thinking about some political topics over the past couple of days and haven’t found one that lit any fire in me…it is fun to watch the desperation from the lower tier repubs as they try to figure out how to not be irrelevant…and that means attack, attack, attack, to the repubs…not policy, just attack…and I do want to say one thing…anyone who thinks John Kasich is a “moderate” is fricking delusional…he may look like a moderate compared to the right wing mouth breathers that are running…but, to see his true nature, you just have to look at the legislation that he has been pushing to de-fund PP based on the fake videos that were presented as damning to PP…they aren’t true but that doesn’t get in the way of Kasich trying to eliminate the good that PP does for poor women in Ohio…moderate? Hell no…geez….

A new worst person in the world…
Well…as you know, I’ve stolen this bit from Keith Olbermann and I think it still serves a purpose, especially after the murders at PP this past week. As a recap, the guy that murdered three people and wounded many more told the cops that he did it to stop them from ‘selling baby parts” the false narrative that was set in motion by a rabid anti abortion group and which has been picked up by the repubs in many “investigations” they have done since then which has found no wrongdoing at all. But, the truth doesn’t matter to the right and to Ted Cruz in particular who stated this weekend that the killer was a “transgender, liberal activist” and said he had proof since one of the crazy assed right wing websites said they had a voter registration that listed this guy as female. I think ole Ted deserves an award here for working three of the right’s dogwhistles into a sentence and that award would be the worst person in the world…three people are dead, the shooter told you what his reasons were, and you have to take this tragedy and turn it into more of the same stoking of hatred that you expect to ride into the presidency….if that’s not the worst person in the world, I don’t know who is…geez…
They just don’t get to do this…
Well….wih the murders at PP in Colorado the other day, the hypocrisy of the right to life movement was on full display with the comments that were made by the guys that made the fake video of PP…these idiots came out with their sympathy for the people killed when they are the cause of it but they never once condemned the actions of the criminals that continue to do this terrorism…the killer even going so far as to say that he was spurred on about the thought of “baby parts” being sold…a direct reference to what these asses did with their fake video. Even the repub candidates for president didn’t condemn the actions of this murderer…just putting out mushy condolences to the first responder that was killed since they all agree with the idea of closing PP by any method necessary. Let’s call this what it is…domestic terrorism aimed at scaring women away from getting their healthcare since they just don’t think women should have any rights to control their own bodies…the new, modern repub party…this is it folks….geez…
Searching for a motive?
Well…another day and more violence directed at Planned Parenthood and the only thing that the media can say is the authorities are still “looking for a motive”….but, you don’t have to look too far to find it…with the almost constant demonizing of the organization, what the hell do they expect? When the repubs use fake “evidence” to excoriate PP at every turn, when they call everyone that works there murderers, and when it seems that the one thing that is on the repubs minds is shutting PP down and stirring up their base, what the hell do they expect? Especially from a base that is none too sane to start with, and with all of their candidates saying that they don’t have to obey laws they don’t agree with, what the hell do they expect? The sick thing here is that they will not learn anything from this, they won’t learn that stoking the anger of their followers to a fever pitch is not a good thing to do…and next week there will be another attack and more dead…all just to try to take away the control that women have over their own bodies…these people are just the most sick excuses for human beings I have ever seen….geez…
Carly Fiorina lies just like the rest of them…
Well…the lies just keep on coming from the right these days about Planned Parenthood but this last bunch by Carly Fiorina is just too much…during the debate last week…ole Carly went on and on about the video she said she saw that showed a live baby being dissected for organs at Planned Parenthood…even though this video DOES NOT exist and never did…but the media gave up their responsibility of challenging her on these lies and she continues to spout them…but now, it has gotten even worse with her campaign faking a video that supposedly supports what she said in the debate….and, again the media has given here a pass on this lie when it would be pretty easy to just look for the time stamp on the video which would expose this lie…but none of them will do a damn thing….but, that doesn’t make this any less of a lie and this should disqualify the idiot Carly from ever holding any office…this, along with the lies about her “success” at HP should have gotten her laughed right off the stage…but here we have this idiot rising in the polls as she lies, lies, and lies….I guess that’s what the repub base likes…liars and the lies they tell….she will NEVER be elected in the general…just go home, Carly…only the most rabid of your base wants to hear a word you have to say…geez…
Rick Scott is a liar and an idiot…
Well…okay…I do have to get more creative in my titles here…I know that but just reading an article about the latest nonsense out of Florida made the title seem just so appropriate….as you know, the latest thing in the minds of repubs is that Planned Parenthood needs to be shut down because some anti abortion group faked some videos that made it look like they were doing something illegal…and, it looks like repub legislators were colluding with this hate group in ginning up this outrage,,,and now, after many state investigations, there has not been one instance where PP was found to not be following the law…and this was the same in Florida but that didn’t stop ole Rick from taking the results of the investigation and changing them to make it look like they found something and then forced the investigators to say that all of the doctors that worked there were going to be investigated, too….in my day, political nonsense like this would result in a resignation of the idiot Scott…but, to Florida, it’s just business as usual and nothing will happen…what the hell happened to honesty in this country…especially from the right where lying seems to be a requirement for their politicians? How do they live with themselves? Easily, it appears…geez…
JEB! is either stupid or evil…or both…
Well…another day, another bit of stupidity from the supposed “smart” Bush boy and this is starting to show that ole GW might just be the “smart one”….and that is just scary…just the other day, the idiot had to open his mouth since his bubble advisers think that attacking Planned Parenthood is a winning issue, even though more than 80% of the women in this country want the repubs to leave PP alone. But, to appeal to their troglodyte base, ole JEB! has to toe the hard line; destroying any chance he may have had in the general. What ole JEB! said the other day just shows that he is stupid or evil…”I don’t think that PP should get a penny…since they are not doing women’s health issues. They’re involved in something way different than that”. So, JEB! cancer screenings, contraceptive care, Pap tests, and everything else that is done for the millions of women that us PP are not “actually doing women’s health”? This whole thing just shows that ideology trumps women in the eyes of these idiots…that they just don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves…and they are proud of that, they are proud of their ignorance on issues that don’t affect them…JEB!, Just go back to Kennebunkport and leave the rest of us alone…you are one stupid AND evil MF….geez….
Ted Cruz is just sick…
Well…with all of the crazy on the right these days, I guess ole Ted has to turn it up to 11 to just be heard…but the way that he is doing it just irritates the hell out of me…in trying to capture the religious right, ole Ted has put women in the cross hairs, again, by trying to get the religious nuts in this country to try to shut down Planned Parenthood and by doing this, eliminate healthcare for over 20 million women in this country. Now, you know how I feel about religion…that is should be practiced in church and not jammed down people’s throats….or even better, not practiced….and using it to hurt people is no religion that anyone should be proud of…who gave them the right to interfere with anyone’s personal choices? I know I’ve talked about this before and, as I sit here, I am tired..tired of the daily religious crap that we have to deal with here in the US…tired of the religious playing the victim all day every day….what ole Ted wants here is a theocracy pure and simple with him as the preacher in chief….all a bunch of crap…okay, this one was a little disjointed but I tried to get the point across…
A gaffe a day from these idiots…
Well…just a quick one on the daily gaffes that have been flowing out of the repub candidates and I’m not sure to laugh about them or just roll my eyes…is this shooting fish in a barrel? Yeah, it kind of is but it’s such a hanging curve ball I’m going to take a swing. Okay, I recognize that those last two were bad….Let’s start with ole Rick again, when asked about the unemployment rate, he answered that he “didn’t care about the unemployment rate” and his candidacy is about ‘freedom” and bigger issues than unemployment…how many ways is this one wrong? The one that I want to highlight is the fact that by this statement, Santorum has said that ideology and his right wing agenda is going to trump all of the rest of the problems the country faces…and there are issues that most of us think are more important than his war on everyone but conservative white people. Then, I have to say thanks to ole Mitt for another “let them eat cake” moment that came from questions about his desire to “get rid” of Planned Parenthood. When asked where poor women would go to get the health services that Planned Parenthood provides that they can’t afford to get anywhere else, the wonderfully obtuse Mitt replied “they can go anywhere, it a free country”….I really do wish I was making these up but I’m not…this is the quality of the field from the repubs and these are their ideas….so don’t let them dance around these issues…
One last short thought on Komen…
Well…started to think outside the box with my conspiracy hat on tonight (no, it’s not made out of tin foil) and came up with this wild idea that I haven’t heard anywhere else. What if Komen was trying to put a competitor out of business? Hear me out….most of the services that the two organizations support are similar and there is quite a bit of overlap in the communities they serve….so what if Komen wanted to be the only provider so they threw their support behind the right wing conspiracies to destroy Planned Parenthood. I know, it’s something out of “The Sopranos” but it could be happening…you heard it here first….and probably last…
