"As a comedian, you can't not have disdain for what he's done: He totally sold out.
He was a master chef who opened a Burger King."

It is indeed early, but speculation is riding high as to Hillary in 2016.
Considering her, Carville said, "Every Democrat I know says, 'I hope she runs.' "
Carville added, "We don't need a primary, let's just go to post with this thing."
Newt Gingrich said of Hillary, "The Republican Party is incapable of competing at that level."
So, no matter how they attempt to twist and spin to make 2016 look interesting,
if Hillary wants to be the our candidate in 2016, the nomination is hers.
And after she gets the nomination, she will be this nation's 45th president.
...anybody wanting to bet against Hillary?

GOP Clown Car Crashes Again
by Joe Conason
Link
Observing the GOP repeatedly stumble in and out of their caucus clown car, blowing loud kazoos
and muttering angry threats, should be painful, embarrassing, and highly instructive to any American
voter with the patience to watch. When their latest performance concluded late Tuesday night with
a 257 to 187 vote passing the stopgap fiscal deal negotiated by the Senate and the White House,
an unavoidable question lingered: What is wrong with those people?
The simple explanation is that the House of Representatives has increasingly been dominated over
the past two decades by a coterie of tantrum-prone extremists, who lack the probity and steadiness
required for democratic self-government. Their diminished capacity is reflected in the low quality
of leadership they have chosen during this long twilight, from Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert and
Tom DeLay to John Boehner and Eric Cantor, even as their politics have grown more and more extreme.
Under the stress of their incoherence, the Republican caucus is unable to escape one humiliating
mess after another. The damage they routinely inflict on the country is reaching incalculable levels
- and is almost certain to grow worse when they again hold the debt ceiling hostage next month.
Well, I feel better - don't you?
What will the snarling dogs be like after they lose in 2016?
FOX News will say the Republicans they lost 2016 because they weren't extreme enough.
The vulhar Pigboy will say they lost because they weren't mean enough to minorities.
So the Teabaggers will double-down in 2016 and be 3 times the asshole Romney was - if that's possible.
The only chance they have at the White House is admitting they were wrong and opening their
arms and their party to joining Democrats in welcoming "those people" and that's NOT going to happen.
They'd rather die first ...and that's OK by me.

Stigmatizing Mental Illness
by Gene Lyons
Link
Of all the outrages to decency and common sense during Wayne LaPierre’s bizarre
Sandy Hook press conference, the most offensive may have been his depiction of
America as a dark hell haunted by homicidal maniacs.
“The truth,” LaPierre insisted, “is that our society is populated by an unknown number
of genuine monsters — people so deranged, so evil, so possessed by voices and driven
by demons that no sane person can possibly ever comprehend them. They walk among us
every day. And does anybody really believe that the next Adam Lanza isn’t planning his
attack on a school he’s already identified at this very moment?”
Monsters, evil, possessed. Demons, for the love of God.
Is this the 21st century, or the 17th?
In LaPierre’s mind, like many adepts of the gun cult, it follows that every grown man and
woman must equip themselves with an AR-15 semi-automatic killing machine with a 30-round
banana clip to keep monsters out of elementary schools. Die Hard: With a Blackboard.
I'm sure somebody has pointed this out, but I haven't seen it so I'll say it:
If all the teachers at school carry assault rifles, what happens if they have a bad day?
If Teacher A finds out his wife is banging Teacher B, and he's got an AK-47 at hand,
isn't he a hundred times more likely to kill Teacher B compared to someone who
found out - but then calmed down before he had a chance to seek revenge?
Maybe the biggest problem the NRA has is they don't just want everyone armed.
They want everyone armed with a weapon that can kill 26 people in a few moments.

Bart, when I got my first set of drums I wanted to be Ringo Starr.
You must be older than me :)
Then I wanted to be Stewart Copland.
Then I wanted to be Neil Peart.
Then I wanted to be Buddy Rich.
Led Zeppelin were fine as live performers, but they STOLE virtually ALL of their
good songs from other people, and then lied about it, until they were forced in court
to finally give credit to the actual authors of the original material.
You only get accused of theft when you hit it really, really big.
On their best night, however, they weren't half the live act that The Who were.

Wal-Mart vs The Morons
Link
Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.
Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer.
Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.
Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and they did this in only 15 years.
During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
The writer goes on to praise Wal-Mart, saying we should make them our government because
they really know how to run a big company, which makes as much sense as saying we should
make Quentin Tarantino president because his films always make a profit.

Really?
*I* wrote that?
Were we drinking when we sent that e-mail?
Everything I've ever written in still online.
Which issue was that in?
This is the same problem I had in the summer of 2008. I lost hundreds
of subscribers because of "all the terribly racist things I wrote about Obama,"
but when I asked for an example of my racism, they couldn't quote me.
If you can't point to it, maybe it never happened?
But, when you compare me to the liberal peacenik who says,
"Violence is ALWAYS wrong - I wouldn't fight you even if you were stealing my kids,"
then yes, under those circumstances I'm ready to go to war. You should be, too.

Ah. Another legislative session over, another swearing in of a whole new class of
bright-eyed, bushy-tailed lawmakers, eager as all get-out to start protecting the rich,
screwing the poor, and grandstanding about 'Merica and light bulb freedom and
shrinking the gubmint so it's small enough to drown in a bathtub—or fit inside a vagina.
But before we welcome the newest members, let us take a moment to say so long, farewell,

was the post that led to the arrest of Jacob Cox-Brown in Astoria, Oregonn.
Upon reading that post, two of Jacob's friends called the cops.

Bart,
Well now, I never thought the man was necessarily in prison in Folsom for that exact
crime in Reno. Preceding mention of the unpleasantness in Reno, he reaches way back
to his childhood, when his Momma told him not to play with guns, then "but I shot a man
in Reno, just to watch him die".
So, it may be that the murder in Reno was just the turning point in his life where he forgot
Momma's lessons and started his life of crime, which eventually, with who knows how
many crimes in between, led him to be stuck in Folsom Prison.
You could also say that it is a loooooong train ride from Folsom "down to San Antone",
too, over 1700 miles. That's a lot of coffee and cigars...

Q: If Johnny Cash shot a man in Reno (Nevada) just to watch him die,
why did he do time in Folsom Prison in Cully-fornia?
A: Federal Crime. Federal prison. Doesn't have to be in the same state as the crime.
Not an educated answer...just a likely one.
