    <title>Who Knew?</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[
	  <p> Karl Rove &ldquo;hearts&rdquo; President Obama; Muslim families enjoy amusement park hot dogs; Phyllis Schlafly is still alive; and the South is, apparently, the laziest region in &lsquo;Murka. Who knew? </p>
       
      <p> It&rsquo;s all part of boom, boom, ain&rsquo;t it great to be crazy in the land of the free and the home of the raves! </p>
       
      <p> In an op-ed piece published in the Wall Street Urinal, former G.W. Bush hatchet man and puppet-master Karl Rove lets us know he thinks President Obama is doing a pretty darn good job in Afghanistan. </p>
       
      <p> &ldquo;Mr. Obama has acted impressively so far on Afghanistan,&rdquo; wrote the man affectionately known as Turd Blossom, by the ever articulate 44st POTUS. </p>

    <title>Bullies</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[
	  <p> As (Tropical Storm) Bonnie lies over the ocean&hellip;headed for South Florida and, over the weekend, the Gulf of Mexico, the oil spill site and Looziana, it gives one pause to consider bullies. </p>
       
      <p> Tropical storms and hurricanes are meteorological bullies. </p>
       
      <p> The only difference between hurricanes and human bullies is hurricanes can do real damage. </p>
       
      <p> Human bullies are usually just thugs; insecure brats who act out because of deep, empty holes in their souls. They only time they do any real damage is if they actually gain some sort of power: political or financial. </p>

    <title>Pointing Out the Obvious</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[
      <p> The only thing more pathetic than white folks whining about charges of racism is Christians whining about Muslims wanting to build a mosque. </p>
       
      <p> And, very often, it&rsquo;s the same whiners whining about both! </p>
       
      <p> Grow up, people. You are not the only ones on this planet and you don&rsquo;t have all the answers. </p>
       
      <p> It never ceases to be amazing how white people react with such venom when anyone points out obvious racism. </p>

      <p> Sarah Palin, the former half-governor of Alaska, which can see Russia from its front porch, may be on to something. </p>
       
      <p> We&rsquo;ve become a nation of such intellectual giants we can only hope, now, to elect presidents in the future based on the number and obsequiousness of words we completely make up. </p>
       
      <p> Forget writing books &ndash; I mean really writing books, not having someone else write it. No more, <em>Profiles in Courage</em>. Forget about, <em>The Audacity of Hope</em>. </p>

      <p> You&rsquo;ll remember &ndash; if you care to &ndash; Douche was recently married. Again. Number Four. Family values. And he must&rsquo;ve gotten laid, once, on his honeymoon because like any good douche on a summer&rsquo;s eve he&rsquo;s full of piss and vinegar. </p>

 <title>An important message from British Petroleum CEO Tony Hayward:</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[
      <p> Dear American Friends, </p>
       
      <p> I am happy to report to you, this morning, from the lovely weather and clear seas of the British coast where we all enjoyed a most spectacular weekend racing aboard my beloved Farr 52, &ldquo;Bob,&rdquo; in the legendary Round the Island Race hosted by JP Morgan and the Island Yacht Club. </p>
       
      <p> Oh, I know what you may be thinking: why in the world would Ol&rsquo; Tony go racing while that nasty oil is still leaking slightly into the Gulf of Mexico? </p>

 <title>Crazy in Congress</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[
      <p> One doesn&rsquo;t have to be crazy to get elected to the Congress &ndash; but it helps. </p>
        
      <p> So let me get this straight: seemingly angry that his amigos at BP (&ldquo;Bustamante Pendejos,&rdquo; according to @DCDebbie) got their corporate arms twisted by President Obama to ante up a $20 billion down payment for the carnage they wreaked on the Gulf of Mexico, Texas Congressman Joe Barton said yesterday the President&rsquo;s demand &ldquo;amounts to a shakedown.&rdquo; </p>
        
      <p> Shakedown is street for extortion, you see, and the esteemed representative from Texas, who couldn&rsquo;t possibly be close to Big Oil interests back home, was saying the President of the United States was acting like a thug to demand BP put money immediately on the table to pay for attempting to kill the Gulf of Mexico. </p>

      <p> Big Oil is still kicking the Gulf of Mexico&rsquo;s ass but it was another primary election day across &lsquo;Murka, yesterday, and that bright shiny object has everyone&rsquo;s attention. Whomp, there it is&hellip; </p>

        <title>50 Days and Counting </title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[
      <p> It&rsquo;s Monday, all you oil-soaked peeps and beaks, we&rsquo;re now at 50 days into the killing of a major ocean. </p>
       
      <p> The bad news is we&rsquo;re now officially under siege by a foreign oil corporation and being held hostage by its greed, incompetence and general disdain for humankind and Mother Earth. </p>
       
      <p> But the good news is&hellip;oh, wait, there isn&rsquo;t any good news. </p>
       
      <p> &ldquo;This is a siege across the entire gulf,&rdquo; said U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen over the weekend on the TeeVee Box. &ldquo;This spill is holding everybody hostage, not only economically but physically. And it has to be attacked on all fronts.&rdquo; </p>

      <p> Politics in the US of A inherently brings out the best and brightest &ndash; but also the gross, ignorant and insipid. </p>
         
      <p> It is the yin and yang of it. </p>
         
      <p> I see this tweet, yesterday. (A tweet, for you great unwashed and disconnected, is a 140-character message posted on Twitter, the micro-blogging social medium which &ndash; like politics &ndash; offers both concise brilliance and enormously short-sighted inanities.) </p>
         
      <p> So, I see this tweet yesterday. </p>
         
      <p> &ldquo;Obama hates Jews,&rdquo; it read. WTF, I thought. That&rsquo;s just stupid. </p>

        <title>Welcome to Hurricane Season 2010! </title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[
     
        <p> Here to throw out the ceremonial first pitch is international energy conglomerate, British Petroleum!! Or &ndash; as its marketing campaign once told us &ndash; &ldquo;Beyond Petroleum.&rdquo; </p>
           
        <p> That&rsquo;s right: Beyond Petroleum all the way into destroying one of the world&rsquo;s great oceans. But all this is really stressing out BP CEO Tony Hayward. He wants his life back. But, at $8 million a year salary &amp; bonus it&rsquo;s all in a day&rsquo;s work. </p>
           
        <p> Hurricane Season 2010 could be a very active season; or it could be an also-ran in the history of great hurricane seasons. We always hope for the later but prepare for the former. </p>

        <p> BP or &ldquo;Beyond Petroleum-and-into-destroying-one-of-the-world&rsquo;s-great-oceans&rdquo; will get a visit today from President Obama. He will, no doubt, kick their corporate ass before donning his Aquaman suit, swimming down 5,000 feet and plugging the volcano himself with one of the whale carcasses he may find. </p>
        <p> Probably gonna be a lot of junk shots today. </p>

                <![CDATA[
      
      <p> In a stunning reversal, zigging when everyone thought he would zag, President Obama today nominated the forcibly retired Sen. Bob Bennett, noted leftist from Utah, to the U.S. Supreme Court. </p>
        
      <p> Naw&hellip;just kidding. </p>
        
      <p> The SCOTUS nod goes to current U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan, noted socialist and prostitute according to right-wing extremists who also say they don&rsquo;t like her haircut, a little too short for their liking. </p>
        
      <p> The political scene is really bonking for lack of adequate nutrition. </p>

        <title>Mystery Solved</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[
      
      <p> Researchers in Europe have discovered Neanderthals may have been takin&rsquo; the skin boat to tuna town with early humans. </p>
      
      <p> That&rsquo;s right. According to DNA research currently being conducted by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Neanderthals had a max planck for the new and really cute humans who moved to town and before they died out spent a few steamy nights with them amid candlelight and Lady Gaga records. </p>
       
      <p> This has resulted, say the researchers, in a strain of Neanderthal DNA swimming for thousands of years in the gene pool of non-African humans. As a matter of fact, the researchers suggest 1 to 4 percent of the DNA in non-Africans (Europeans) is, in fact, Neanderthal. </p> 
     
	  <p> A poll taken by ABC news the other day suggested the teabaggers account for approximately 2 percent of the population; a curious statistical comparison. </p>

      <p> Feliz Cinco de Mayo! </p>
      
      <p> Okay all you Anglos with a tan, we&rsquo;re headed to Arizona, donning our guayaberas and huaraches and telling the cops we brought our Coronas directly from Mexico! </p>
       
      <p> Whoo-hoo!! We&rsquo;re all Mexican today! Well, maybe not in Arizona; could get you arrested and charged with being brown. </p> 
      
	  <p> Oh sure, Cinco de Maya is well-known as a kind of Mexican Independence Day, meant to commemorate Zapata&rsquo;s victory over Napoleon at Veracruz but, hey, what&rsquo;s that compared to drinking contests when you can drink so much tequila you think you&rsquo;re speaking Spanish to that groovy looking chick who is actually from India. </p>

            <description>
                <![CDATA[
      
	  <p> Forty years since the first Earth Day in 1970. Have we saved the planet, yet? </p> 
      
	  <p> More importantly, do we still have time to save the planet? Will we still be battling to save the planet on Earth Day 2050? Will it be too late by then? </p>
       
      <p> When Senator Gaylord Nelson, Democrat of Wisconsin, conceived the idea for Earth Day in 1970, he immediately stretched across the aisle and Capitol to enlist the aid of U.S. Rep. Pete McCloskey, Republican of California. Together &ndash; and with a team of talented, bright students &ndash; they put environmentalism and conservation square on the table of public opinion and action. </p>

      <p> Seems like a good morning to drag out that vaunted &ndash; and often forgotten &ndash; Churchill quote. </p>
      <p> Here we are looking back 15 years to the horrific bombing of the federal courthouse in Oklahoma City while at the same time the Pew Center releases a poll which suggests 80 percent of American distrust the American government. </p>
      <p> At a time when griping against government has grown from a cottage industry to major gated-development industry thanks to its own cable channel (I&rsquo;m lookin&rsquo; at you, Faux News Network), it may be important to remember one little point: </p>

      <p> Do you really want to take on a President who can nail left-handed 3-pointers from the corner like that? </p>
       
      <p> Taking on Ohio State roundball legend and CBS analyst Clark &ldquo;Special K&rdquo; Kellogg in a game of HORSE-turned-POTUS, the &ldquo;Big O&rdquo; showed a downtown range that would make Dukies envious. </p>
       
      <p> You can&rsquo;t leave the guy open in the corner, that&rsquo;s for sure. And teabaggers, I&rsquo;m talkin&rsquo; to you, Rush, Beck &amp; the teabaggers. Plus, he&rsquo;s left handed, knows how to spell and conjugate verbs, a particular sticking point with the wing nuts. </p>
       
      <p> You see, spelling and grammar are not strong suits of the teabag crowd. A quick sampling of home-made signs at teabagger rallies includes some real gems (supplied by the Seattle Weekly). </p>

      <p> It&#39;s Good Friday on the Christian calendar (except for the Greeks, of course) and the U.S. government officially celebrated the death of Christ by announcing the economy added over 160,000 jobs in March. </p>
        
      <p> That and by rolling back airport security measures for people from countries where most people look kinda dark and swarthy, sorta like Jesus probably did. </p>
        
      <p> But, hey, it&rsquo;s Holy Week in a number of ways and the time of year when lots of religions celebrate something. Jews observed Passover this week (at which point the whole Easter thing started in the first place.) Muslims just celebrated the birth of the Prophet. </p>

      <p> It&rsquo;s all becoming clear, now, why Republicans fought so hard to keep Americans from getting better health care. </p>
        
      <p> Hidden among the many provisions of the new communist manifesto &ndash; better know as health care reform &ndash; is a 10 percent tax on tanning salons! It&rsquo;s an outrage! </p>
        
      <p> No wonder House Majority Leader John Boehner was livid! And he should be. The average person pays $15 to $20 per 10-minute session to lay nekkid on a bed of fluorescent lights and get zapped like a doughnut. With this 10 percent tax, they&rsquo;ll have to pay an additional $1.50 to $2.00. </p>

                <![CDATA[	  <p> Sung to the tune of Don McLean&#39;s, &ldquo;American Pie&rdquo;&hellip;  </p>
     
   <p>&ldquo;So bye-bye, Mr. Evan Bayh <br>
        Daddy drove me to the Congress <br>
        But the Congress was dry&rdquo; </p>
		     
      <p>&ldquo;And good ol&#39; boys are watching &lsquo;Murkin&#39;s die <br>
        Sayin&#39;, this&#39;ll be the day I say bye&hellip; <br>
        This&#39;ll be the day I say bye.&rdquo; </p>

        <p>&ldquo;My head hurts, my feet stink, <br>
        And I don&#39;t love Congress.&rdquo; </p>
        
        <p>&ldquo;Oh my Lordy, it&#39;s just that kinda mornin&#39;, <br>
        Really was that kind of night.&rdquo; </p>

                <![CDATA[	  <p> Whack-a-Dick-Mole Cheney popped up again Sunday on the Tee Vee Box.  </p>
     
      <p> Hey Dick! It&#39;s Presidents&#39; Day weekend, not Veep Day! We don&#39;t need you disrupting our Presidents&#39; Day commercials for mattress sales! </p>
     
      <p>Yes, friends, that disturbance in the force we all felt yesterday was not a Canadian actually winning a gold medal at the Snowlympics but, rather, the US of A&#39;s big Dick Cheney inflicting his face again on the national horror.</p>

                <![CDATA[	  <p> Writing in what was once the U.S. News &amp; World Report, yet another RW puppet proclaims Congressional Republicans are refusing to be &ldquo;led around by the nose&rdquo; by President Obama. </p>
     
      <p> Ha-ha&hellip;this is very funny because: </p>
     
      <p>
        A.) They are led around simply by the &ldquo;no(s)&rdquo;; or<br><br>
        B.) They are too far up the butt of Douche Limpbranch and Gin BecksBeer to find their probosci; or <br><br> 
        C.) They would refuse to smell the need for reform if it came up and smacked them on the south end of a north-bound elephant.</p>

               <p>It was that kind of night in the magical land known as Nawlins. It&#39;s gonna be that kind of day…and night…and the next day…and on through Mardi Gras. </p>

               <p>Not that the good people of Nawlins ever needed a reason, really, to party but it IS Mardi Gras season and, well, I understand the city&#39;s beloved professional football team actually won a game last night! </p>

	          <p>Yep, unless you live under a rock at the bottom of the Mariana Trench you know it&#39;s time for Super Bowl XLIVPDQRLSDSEXINBVDS. </p>

	          <p>This means there will be approximately 94 straight hours of airtime on the TeeVee Box (and ad sales) surrounding nearly 4 hours of actual football between the NFC Champs, the Nawlins Who-Dats and the AFC Champs, the Indianapolis Peyton Mannings.</p>

                <![CDATA[<p>The man in the clown suit spun doughnuts in the center of the street, hoped out of his little, brightly painted car and ran to the sidewalk. </p>

             <p>&quot;YES,” he declared. &quot;I believe Barack Obama is a socialist. I believe he is not a citizen. I believe he should be impeached and I believe Sarah Palin is more qualified to be president than Barack Obama!” </p>

             <p>The clown was not part of a Shriner&#39;s parade. Nope, he was just warming up for the Teabaggers&#39; convention this weekend in Nashville. </p></div>

            <title>Bi-Partisanship in Washington?</title>
            <description>
                <![CDATA[<p>Okay, so this great attempt – one more time - at bi-partisanship in Washington which began Friday will end today. </p>

             <p>The President will release today his budget for 2011, a hefty little $3.8 trillion document with a running deficit of $1.3 trillion. </p>

             <p>What fun!</p> 

             <p>After crashing the Congressional GOP retreat on Friday and asking them politely – sorta – to cut it out and try to be reasonable for a change and all the Republicans then mobbing the President to get his autograph – because he&#39;s a rock star – look for them today to lash out at the budget proposals as a Bolshevik plot!</p>
