"After verification, the Republican party of Virginia has determined that Newt Gingrich did not submit the required 10,000 signatures and has not qualified for the Virginia primary. Hopefully, he will do better in other states..." -- Jerry Kilgore, chairman of Perry’s campaign in Virginia, Link Dammit, Newt, can't your people get anything right? We're hoping for a six-month bloody battle between Romney and somebody but that fool Rick Perry failed to qualify for the Virginia ballot, too. What are you guys doing with all your millions?

America
Link On a recent shift at a Chicago emergency department, Dr. William Sullivan treated a newly homeless patient who was threatening to kill himself. "He had been homeless for about two weeks. He hadn't showered or eaten a lot. He asked if we had a meal tray," said Sullivan, a physician at the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago and a past president of the Illinois College of Emergency Physicians. Sullivan said the man kept repeating that he wanted to kill himself. "It seemed almost as if he was interested in being admitted." Across the country, doctors like Sullivan are facing a spike in psychiatric emergencies - attempted suicide, severe depression, psychosis - as states slash mental health services and the country's worst economic crisis since the Great Depression takes its toll. This trend is taxing emergency rooms already overburdened by uninsured patients who wait until ailments become acute before seeking treatment. "These are people without a previous psychiatric history who are coming in and telling us they've lost their jobs, they've lost sometimes their homes, they can't provide for their families, and they are becoming severely depressed," said Dr. Felicia Smith, director of the acute psychiatric service at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. As long as the super-rich don't have to pay taxes, the GOP can live with America in hell. America is crumbling as we speak - can't anybody do anything?

Mike Rowe, Ford's idea of a spokesman I just think the guy's waaaaaaay creepy - in a Sandusky way. Why is he so desperate to corner strangers and talk about Ford? Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Tax Increase? Blame the Voters People don't like the idea that their taxes almost went up $1000 a year but who's fault is that? The people voted for Republicans in the last election and when you vote for Republicans, that's what happens. Republicans want tax increases on the 99% so that the 1% get to keep all their money. It's the will of the voters. If the voters don't want tax increases then they shouldn't have voted Republican. Marc Perkel Send e-mail to Bart Mega-Gasbag Quits GOP Trump going to run as a Teabagger? "I am full of hot gas..." Link Donald Trump has changed his voter registration in New York state from Republican to unaffiliated. A spokesman says he changed his affiliation to preserve his option to seek the presidency in 2012. Special Counsel Michael Cohen said Friday that Trump could enter the race if Republicans fail to nominate a candidate who can defeat President Barack Obama. He said Trump probably would use his substantial wealth to even the playing field with Obama's re-election campaign. Cohen said Trump's commitment to hosting "The Apprentice" will keep him from doing anything until May, when the show's season wraps up. ha ha "I'll be your president, but first I gotta referee the Meatloaf/Gary Busey fight." The GOP deserves Trump spitting their vote ...and remember, ...we still don't have a religio-crazy on a ticket - yet! Send e-mail to Bart Whittier

PLEASE turn off your AdBlocker. Really? This giant tub of lard called Michelle fat? Message from the Super-rich
by Matt Taibbi Link Most of us 99-percenters couldn't even let our dogs leave a dump on the sidewalk without feeling ashamed before our neighbors. It's called having a conscience: even though there are plenty of things most of us could get away with doing, we just don't do them, because, well, we live here. Most of us wouldn't take a million dollars to swindle the local school system, or put our next door neighbors out on the street with a robosigned foreclosure, or steal the life's savings of some old pensioner down the block by selling him a bunch of worthless securities. But our Too-Big-To-Fail banks unhesitatingly take billions in bailout money and then turn right around and finance the export of jobs to new locations in China and India. They defraud the pension funds of state workers into buying billions of their crap mortgage assets. They take zero-interest loans from the state and then lend that same money back to us at interest. Or, like Chase, they bribe the politicians serving countries and states and cities and even school boards to take on crippling debt deals. The Democrats are such shitty salesmen, they can't convince the super-poor to vote themselves a raise? Send e-mail to Bart See more at WWW.DemoOkie.com

It was a great Christmas... Mrs. Bart made a great Christmas meal - turkey, mashed potatos* and gravy, cornbread dessing and we had a little cranberry sauce and we washed it down with a 20-7 trampling of those awful Dallas Cowboys. It was 20-0 for a long time, then Dallas got a pity touchdown with seconds left... Next week, the Cowboys play the New York Giants for the NFC East title. Dilemma: I believe Romo hasn't won a playoff game in his entire career. Do we root for the Cowboys to win next week so those nutty Dallas fans can whip themselves into a hissy-frenzy with crazy talk of the Girls going to the Super Bowl? I think we do - let's root for Dallas to win this weekend so Romo can blow their first playoff game - if he's able to play. Last time I saw Romo's throwing hand it was more swollen than Pigboy's ego. Go Cowboys! Send e-mail to Bart "Can we please get this straightened the fugg out in 2012? We are embarrassing ourselves."

How Crazy are the Teabaggers? Link The astroturfing, bad spelling group of crazies on Rascals are back, and this time they are here to say that little death of Osama Bin Laden–the event that was so widely publicized it was reenacted on Nat Geo–was in fact ‘staged’ by the radical ‘Muslin’ in the oval office. Apparently not quite content with that wildly ludicrous assertion, the Tea Party also believes that Obama actually ’gave’ the downed drone to Iran. Tea Party Nation president, Judson Phillips, sent out an email to Tea Party Nation members claiming that Obama deliberately offered the recently captured predator drone to Iran…and that Osama bin Laden wasn’t killed but his death was in fact “staged” by Obama. Hey Monkey, if you really believe that, you should run a Teabagger candidate for president. That'll teach Obama to give our spy drones to his Muslin friends. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Exploding drones Bart, you wrote: > "Terrorists can find a way to put a bomb in a copy machine ink cartridge, > but our trillion dollar Pentagon can't wire drones to explode?" No, Bart, we CAN'T do that. Know why? Terrorists are motivated purely by ideology. It has to work with the things they have with which to work (neat sentence, huh?). On the other hand, the principle motive for U.S. defense contractors isn't effectiveness or "national security. It's profit. As such, we only pursue proposals that stand to make a hueueueueuegggge bundle of cash for corporations. Bob Kinkaid Bob, good point. America no longer wins wars - we just get ready for the next one.

Claims they're trying to legalize card playing Link Obama has cleared the way for states to legalize Internet poker and certain other online betting in a montser about-face that may help them reap billions in tax revenue and spur web-based gambling. A Justice Department opinion dated September and made public on Friday reversed decades of previous policy that included civil and criminal charges against operators of some of the most popular online poker sites. Until now, the department held that online gambling in all forms was illegal under the Wire Act of 1961, which bars wagers via telecommunications that cross state lines or international borders. The new interpretation, by the department's Office of Legal Counsel, said the Wire Act applies only to bets on a "sporting event or contest," not to a state's use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets. "The Department of Justice has given the online gaming community a big, big present," said Nelson Rose, a gaming law expert at Whittier Law School who consults for governments and the industry. So, this opinion was handed down in September and they chose to keep it a secret until now? It would appear those 30 million poker players (who vote) got Obama's attention. I'm suspicious so I'm not going to applaud anything until the first online cards are dealt. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Obama asking for drone back Bart, you have a serious woody about attacking Iran I guess... It's funny. Each time I write, "I'm trying to prevent a massive nuclear war," the hard Left (I assume) replies, "Why do you love war so much?" It's not easy to reason with the "fighting is always wrong" crowd. Problem here is that your analogy is incorrect. In this case, the 8th grader didn't "lose" their toy - they were flying a killer robot over the 5th grader's house, and it crashed into the house. The US didn't "lose" a drone? Can you get anyone else in America to agree with that? And what makes you think our spy camera was a "killer" camera? Its remarkable how much you sound like a neo-con on the subject of Iran. Joe I've said it a hundred times. When you live in Seattle, you consider those in Spokane as living "back East."

After all, he spent the night he KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN in a tuxedo making jokes at Donald Trump's expense. Cordially, Stu the Lawyer Stu, you are correct. That's probably the coolest thing he's done as president. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Hillary's hypocrisy revisted Bart, I thank you for publishing my criticism and I apologize for not including the article from your Dec. 20th blog that upset me. You will find it below. While you did not directly support her hypocrisy, you simply ignored the hypocrisy and instead made a joke about her kicking butt in Cairo. You have included many stories about the police abuse of American citizens trying to exercise their right to protest peacefully. Can you not see the similarity? Should Hillary "slip into San Francisco or NYC and put two in the heads of those responsible for abusing American women and men and reporters"? Best regards, Billy >"Women protesters have been rounded up and subjected to horrific abuse. Journalists have > been sexually assaulted. And now, women are being attacked, stripped, and beaten in the streets > This systematic degradation of Egyptian women dishonors the revolution, disgraces the state > and its uniform and is not worthy of a great people." > -- Sec State Hillary Clinton, Link > Word of advice to Eqypt's military rulers: > If Hillary tells you to knock that shit off, you'd better f-ing listen. > She'll slip into Cairo personally and put two in your head. There are lots on answers to your question, but first let's define "abuse." In Cairo and Damascus, there are perhaps hundreds of deaths per day. How can you compare that to the 2-3 people who were seriously hurt in America? The woman in the blue bra was beaten with clubs and is hanging onto her life with multiple skull fractures. That's not happening in America. You're suggesting Obama is another Bashar al-Assad? I think that's less-than accurate. Send e-mail to Bart Business slow? Time to advertise!

Subject: My Brush with Greatness Link Send in YOUR brush with greatness Newt once praised Romneycare There are disadvantages to being crazy... Link Newt Gingrich praised Romneycare in 2006, according to the Whore Street Journal. "The most exciting development of the past few weeks is the health bill that Governor Romney signed into law this month has tremendous potential to effect major change in our health system," reads "Newt Notes." "We agree that our goal should be 100% insurance coverage for all Americans." Gingrich has recently attacked Ronmeycare. In an Oct. 18 debate, he said to Romney, "Your plan essentially is one more big-government, bureaucratic high-cost system." He added, "There's a lot of big government behind Romneycare -- not as much as Obamacare -- but a heck of a lot more than your campaign is admitting." The problem with Newt is that he lies to the extreme. He can't say, "I don't like that plan very much." No, that won't do. When Newt doesn't like something, he calls it "the most dangerous thing in all of Earth's history," which makes him look extra-stupid when he changes his mind and switches position on something. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Barack, if we had ANYWHERE else to go... ...you would love Ron Paul as president. Other than your site couldn't bitch about the lame-ass president anymore.

Ron Paul interview 1988: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anmlPvmd1Ew Chuck Chuck, yes, Ron Paul has flashes of sanity, but he's still crazy. For one, if you're sick with no insurance, Ron Paul says, "Let 'em die." Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Rocky Anderson Bart, what's your opinion of Rocky Anderson and the newly-formed Justice Party? Mr. Anderson is also in the running. A strong liberal in a sea of Red, this guy. What with the continued emergence of the Occupy movement and the strength of social networking, could it be possible that now is a moment that might see ole Rocky not necessarily need the pesos to buy vainsteam media mainstream advert attention in print and on the boob tube? Do you imagine that there is any way under the sun for this guy to get elected POTUS in 2012? I am interested in what you and your readers would have to say about this possibility. What little I have read about him since coming across the fact just last week that this ex-Dem former mayor of Salt Lake City even exists makes me like the guy. Stay well and healthier, Iago in Taiwan Iago, I've never heard of Rocky Anderson so I doubt he'll be president come 2013. Someone said there are 74 people running for the White House this year but if you're not on America's radar, you're not going to get elected.
