<p align="left">Sarah Palin, why do you hate America?</p>
<p align="left">You&#8217;ve always been so pro-gun, anti-abortion, and <em>drill-baby-drill supporting</em> - you know, the traditional American values. How could you now - on the eve of this nation&#8217;s most sacred holiday - desecrate Old Glory by <a href="http://jezebel.com/5306190/sarah-palin-breaks-flag-code-in-runners-world-magazine" title="Sarah Palin Breaks ">posing with it heaped unceremoniously on a bar stool</a>?</p>
<p align="left">Displaying your gorgeous diamond and ruby encrusted flag pins - from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QVC" class="zem_slink" title="QVC" rel="wikipedia">QVC</a>/<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;hs=AGo&amp;ei=glNOSvjcBpCCsgPtnOCqDQ&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=spell&amp;resnum=0&amp;ct=result&amp;cd=1&amp;q=Madeleine+Albright&amp;spell=1" class="spell">Madeleine Albright</a>  collection for $15.95 per pound - has always been your patriotic hallmark, the front line of your fierce defense of the &#8220;<a href="http://egan.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/01/capture-the-flag/?partner=rss&amp;emc=rss" title="Capture the Flag">Real America</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p align="left">I remember when you criticized that socialist pretender to the Presidency, Barak Hussein Obama, for not wearing his pin. You didn&#8217;t wince from controversy. When rabid <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics" class="zem_slink" title="Left-wing politics" rel="wikipedia">left-wing</a> lunatics pointed out that the world&#8217;s greatest leader, our dear President Mr. George W. Bush, sometimes went without his flag pin you laughed in their faces and reminded them you were a maverick.</p>
<p align="left">How right you were.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l171/omnipotentpoobah/sarahbikini.png" title="Sarahkini" alt="Sarahkini" vspace="5" width="173" align="right" border="0" height="298" hspace="5" />You knew that if Obama became President he&#8217;d outlaw flags and have them brought to huge &#8220;inflammation&#8221; centers to be burned using recycled Fryolator grease from McDonalds.</p>
<p align="left">I was a little upset when you <a href="http://jezebel.com/5306190/sarah-palin-breaks-flag-code-in-runners-world-magazine" title="Sarah Palin Breaks ">literally wrapped yourself in our flag</a>, but when I thought moe about it, I decided it was OK. After all, what would stylish mavericks wear if not our glorious, Godly, and triumphant banner?</p>
<p align="left">But a bar stool Sarah? That&#8217;s the single most dangerous piece of furniture in a good tea-totalling, Christian  home.</p>
<p align="left"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWJD" class="zem_slink" title="WWJD" rel="wikipedia">WWJD</a>?</p>
<p align="left">I hope this desecration of our flag was completely the fault of <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/6/30/748558/-Palin-Treats-the-American-Flag-Disrespectfully" title="Palin Treats the American Flag Disrespectfully">Runners&#8217; World magazine</a> and their liberal mainstream media PhotoShopery. I still have faith in your maverickosity. Sarah, please do the right thing and display our flag correctly.</p>
<p align="left">If not, I might need to tell Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck about you.</p>

<p>If only South Carolina&#8217;s Latin Lothario had taken an extra day writing bad poetry to his Latin lovebird, he might&#8217;ve been saved from the nail guns affixing his hide to the wall. Another 24 hours and the <em>All Jacko, All the Time</em> networks would&#8217;ve barely noticed he&#8217;d returned to speculation that he&#8217;d flown the coup for Nekid Backbacking Day on the Appalachian Trail.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s another governor caught with his <a href="http://www.newser.com/story/63375/southern-cheaters-call-on-god-but-which-god.html" title="Southern Cheaters Call on God—but Which God?">hypocritical donger</a> outside his pants? That&#8217;s not news. Now a donger with freakishly bad plastic surgery, a drug habit, and test tube babies dangling out of windows? That&#8217;s news baby! The kind that would&#8217;ve allowed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Sanford" class="zem_slink" title="Mark Sanford" rel="wikipedia">Mark Sanford</a> to sneak in under the news radar if only he&#8217;d returned a day late.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, he had the bad luck of returning from Tangoland straight into the arms of reporters pestering him with questions about where the hell he&#8217;d gone walkabout for the past week. True to form, Sanford&#8217;s initial story - as crazy and entertainingly refreshing as it might&#8217;ve been - was only the first act in a protracted drip drop of misinformation and criticism.</p>
<p>First, many politicians and assorted <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/01/love-means-never-having-t_n_224100.html" title="Love Means Never Having To Say You're Resigning: A Reenactment Of The Sanford Affair (VIDEO)">guardians of the public morals</a> took time out from <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=schtupping" title="Definition">schtupping</a> their maids to condemn the poor love-struck bastard as a hypocrite who must resign to save the Republic.</p>
<p>He refused, and rightfully so.</p>
<p><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l171/omnipotentpoobah/sanfordpigs.png" title="Sanford and the Pigs" alt="Sanford and the Pigs" vspace="0" width="240" align="right" border="0" height="232" hspace="0" />He needn&#8217;t explain his behavior to the likes of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Craig" class="zem_slink" title="Larry Craig" rel="wikipedia">Larry Craig</a> nor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Vitter" class="zem_slink" title="David Vitter" rel="wikipedia">David Vitter</a> nor, omigod, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham" class="zem_slink" title="Lindsey Graham" rel="wikipedia">Lindsey Graham</a>. It&#8217;s a personal matter between him and a wife who&#8217;d already kicked his lying ass to the curb. If a person wants to conduct a pouting bi-hemispherical schoolboy love affair, who are we to condemn him?</p>
<p>But shortly after his rambling and impassioned mea culpa the usual messy baggage started to ooze out of his cover story.</p>
<p>It seems the affair <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/30/mark-sanford-admits-addit_n_223140.html" title="Mark Sanford Admits Additional Liaisons, Contradicting Public Confession">wasn&#8217;t just that one time</a>. And, maybe he had (or hadn&#8217;t) <a href="http://www.newser.com/story/63419/sanford-didnt-use-state-money-for-trips-cops.html" title="Sanford Didn't Use State Money for Trips: Cops">billed the state</a> for his travel. Ducking his security force was a no-brainer as was his &#8220;liberation&#8221; of a state vehicle to get to the Atlanta airport. And perhaps that whole leaving the state without telling the Lt. Governor thing was, ahem, bad form.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s steadily resisted resignation, which is a sure bet to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-kelly/god-is-my-doorman-mark-sa_b_223472.html" title="God is My Doorman: Mark Sanford for Non-Christians">give the story Betty Grable legs</a>. In the latest twist, armchair psychiatrists are <a href="http://www.thestate.com/sanford/story/849427.html" title="Sanford's mental state questioned">Bill Fristing diagnoses of his mental health</a>. A possible hormonal imbalance. Maybe obsessive compulsive disorder. Hell, the guy might even be a full-scale manic depressive, schizophrenic sociopath with anorexic tendencies!</p>
<p>Or maybe just as stupid as your average tree stump.</p>

<p align="left"><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l171/omnipotentpoobah/smallloony.png" title="The Looney Awards" alt="The Looney Awards" vspace="10" width="202" align="right" border="0" height="129" hspace="0" />Some would say awarding a Looney Award to Michele Bachmann is like kicking a quadriplegic whilst they&#8217;re down. I suppose there&#8217;s some truth to that, but she always makes it so damned easy.</p>
<p align="left">Bachmann, once best known as a George W. Bush <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzzjU62Q2ns" title="Bush Wanted Another Kiss from Michele Bachmann">extreme groupie</a>, regularly puts her foot <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lizz-winstead/sistah-michele-bachmanns_b_170735.html" title="Sistah Michele Bachmann's Website Explains it All for You">firmly in mouth</a>. Apparently, the Minnesota Moron has withstood one too many harsh winters and suffers from an advanced case of fear frostbite.</p>
<p>In April, Bachmann feared Obama-created <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/31237/bachmann-reedcuation-camps" title="Bachmann fears ‘politically correct re-education camps for young people’">re-education camps for the politically incorrect</a>, saying, &#8220;I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns [sic] is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.&#8221;</p>
<p>Given her savvy about <a href="http://open.salon.com/blog/grif82600/2009/03/01/you_da_man_michael_steele_bachman_video_on_olberman">politically incorrect statements</a> she may be the first to go should it come to that. &#8220;You be da bitch Michele.&#8221;</p>
<p>This time around she thinks completing the census will reserve her an all expenses paid trip to a 1940&#8217;s era <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/26/michele-bachmanns-census_n_221427.html" title="Michele Bachmann's Census Theories Too Much For Glenn Beck">Japanese style internment camp</a>. She plans to release nothing more than her address for this census and bravely risk a $5000, $100, or fill in the blank fine for her conservative courage. A fine that has never been levied as far as anyone can tell.</p>
<p><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l171/omnipotentpoobah/crazymichele.png" title="Batshitcrazy" alt="Batshitcrazy" vspace="0" width="177" align="left" border="0" height="119" hspace="0" />This tragedy will befall the country because <a href="http://www.acorn.org/index.php?id=17851" title="The Real ACORN">housing advocacy group ACORN</a>  will handle some of the data collection. Michele has an <a href="http://www.dustytrice.com/?p=3866" title="Michele Bachmann Declares Herself Above The Law, Spins Fresh ACORN-Census Conspiracy Theory!!!">inordinate fear of ACORN</a>, believing them responsible for losing the election for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_Coleman" class="zem_slink" title="Norm Coleman" rel="wikipedia">Norm Coleman</a> and various other atrocities too numerous to mention.</p>
<p>In fairness, ACORN was investigated for voter registration fraud at the behest of Republicans, but only a <a href="http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/mow/news2007/franklin.ple.htm" title="ACORN EMPLOYEE PLEADS GUILTY  TO ELECTION FRAUD">single person was found guilty</a> - not unlike the <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/06/owner-of-registration-company-pleads-guilty-to-voter-fraud.html" title="Owner of registration company pleads guilty to voter fraud">conviction of a GOP-led business owner</a> for similar misconduct. In fact, the state of Missouri had to <a href="http://www.kansascity.com/115/story/1282676.html" title="Missouri agrees to pay $450,000 to ACORN to help settle voter registration suit">pay ACORN</a> for a failed suit against them.</p>
<p>Bachmann further embarrassed herself by claiming the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Census_Bureau" class="zem_slink" title="United States Census Bureau" rel="wikipedia">Census Bureau</a> will not count illegal aliens. Being somewhat of a stranger to facts, Bachmann might be forgiven for not knowing that <a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=46021" title="Census Bureau: We’ll Work with ‘Community Organizations’ to Count All Illegal Aliens in 2010">right-wing news service CNS News</a> quoted the acting director of the census as saying, &#8220;Our job is to count everyone that resides in the US - count them once. So, certainly that’s our goal to count every individual, every resident whether they’re <em>documented, undocumented</em>, whether they are <em>citizens or non-citizens</em>.</p>
<p>Ms. Bachmann, keep up the good work. With friends like you, the Republicans don&#8217;t need any enemies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/2883/underscoreyl5.png" title="underscore(#fb781d)" alt="underscore(#fb781d)" vspace="0" width="390" border="0" height="25" hspace="0" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l171/omnipotentpoobah/nurse.png" title="Health Care" alt="Health Care" vspace="0" width="188" align="left" border="0" height="293" hspace="0" />When the Speechmaster General took office in February, Washington buzzed with a new watchword – bipartisanship. That buzz lasted about as long as a diseased honeybee before being swallowed whole by the cacophony that passes for public discourse in this country.</p>
<p>Bipartisanship only works when both sides are equally willing to work together on common problems. Apparently, the best the US can muster is a sort of anti-bipartisanship where the only thing both sides can agree on is that the other is a dangerous group of treasonous pootieheads.</p>
<p>Today, American bipartisanship consists of Democrats half-heartedly asking the opposition to put their two cents worth in. The Republicans almost invariably respond with a simple no or a hydra-headed, massively complex, ear-bending HELL NO!</p>
<p>I suppose we should expect this. The Democrats were out of power for so long they forgot that when the opposition is intractable, the majority needs to grow a pair and move on without them. If not, everything grinds to a halt.</p>
<p>For their part, the Republicans have lost the portion of their little pea brains that tells them there are consequences to elections. They still adhere to the Nancy Reagan policy of just saying no – loud enough that St. Ronnie can hear them in the next dimension.</p>
<p>The latest demonstration comes courtesy of Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Bugtussle). When asked what would constitute a bipartisan position on the health care debate, he said dropping all healthcare taxes and having no government option. Since those are the two major underpinnings of the Democratic plan, the Grasser might just as well continued, “…and Barrack Obama can bend over and toss the salad in my ample, corn fed ass.”</p>
<p>If that’s bipartisanship, it must discount quite a few points. Points like polls showing the majority of the country wants a government option plan for which quite a few would gladly pay additional taxes. It flies in the face of the oft-repeated saw that Government = Incompetence while Private Sector = Milk and Manna. Absent Wall Street’s powerfully awful demonstration of the virtues of privateerism, his position even contradicts his own statements. To whit, private enterprise can always whip the government’s ass in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mano-a-mano" class="zem_slink" title="Mano-a-mano" rel="wikipedia">mano a mano</a> competition warfare.</p>
<p>Word to Grasser and the Gang. Bipartisanship means you work with the Dems. And while you work with them, remember they’re the ones who get to break the ties or go over objections they see as too objectionable. You can whine about that, or try to make a difference. That’s what happens when you lose. That’s why they say:</p>
<p>There are consequences to elections. Dems rule. You drool. It sucks to be you.</p>

<p align="left">I&#8217;ve never understood why someone would take up dictaitoring as a profession. Careers are short and retirements abrupt in the extreme. If you&#8217;re lucky you may live large for a few years, but your typical 401k with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin" title="Idi Amin" rel="wikipedia">Idi Amin</a> Funds usually pays off in extraordinarily painful death or imprisonment.</p>
<p align="left">The truly amazing thing is that most dictators are sublimely inept. They seize power through a coup or a ghastly sort of professional networking in which they find all the most brain-damaged and sadistic f*cks from across their country and somehow cajole them into eating crumbs while the erstwhile Father of the Country eats gold-leaf ice cream off the navel of a nubile virgin with every meal.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>The Ayatollah Ass-a-Hola</strong><br />
Iran&#8217;s Ayatollah Ass-a-Hola is a case in point. He muffed the election rigging by reporting vote tallies within 2 hours after the polls closed - in a country where all the ballots are paper - not that we&#8217;ve done much better with our fancy punch cards and dangling chads mind you.
</p>
<p align="left">He followed that by admitting there were more votes than voters. What the hell kind of self-respecting dictator admits anything?! Come on! Saddam used to routinely get 99% of the vote - except for that 100% tally in his last year. That&#8217;s narrowly below Bush&#8217;s win in Florida. Now THAT&#8217;S voter fraud!</p>
<p align="left">Finally, the &#8216;Tollah completely misjudged the people over which he holds such sway. Unlike fly-by-night American protests, the Tehran protests were real Million Man Marches. There were hordes of ordinary citizens Twittering the fear of Allah into him and for a few days he was distracted by actual matters of state.</p>
<p align="left">When he finally came to his senses, he decided to go with his strength - his brute strength. He strong-armed the populace. He killed some and beat a few. He disappeared others. He even threw in some broken bones, just to make the point that he was one holy man who shan&#8217;t be trifled with. He has Allah on speed dial, and don&#8217;t you forget it.</p>
<p align="left"><strong><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l171/omnipotentpoobah/pisser.png" title="Soldier Expressing His Feelings" alt="Soldier Expressing His Feelings" vspace="0" width="196" align="right" border="0" height="279" hspace="0" />The Bloodiest Show on Earth</strong><br />
But dictators are as much showmen as brutal crapweasels with a taste for blood. Sometimes they have such a dramatic flair you&#8217;d swear it was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Simmons" class="zem_slink" title="Richard Simmons" rel="wikipedia">Richard Simmons</a> prancing about under that beard. When it comes to Ringmasters, the Grand Ass-a-Hola may be the master.
</p>
<p align="left">Nineteen-year old Kaveh Alipour was gunned down Saturday. When his family made arrangements to retrieve his body, the Ayatollah&#8217;s henchmen devised a clever way to twist a rusty knife into the family&#8217;s wounds -  a $3000 &#8220;bullet fee&#8221; to cover the expenses of the security forces.</p>
<p align="left">Imagine the labor costs to install those parts in the boy&#8217;s body.</p>
<p align="left">The elder Alipor negotiated for a discount or excuse from the fee on the basis of being an Iraq/Iran war vet. Surprisingly, the vicious thugs actually gave in and waived the fee - if the Alipors agreed not to hold services nor bury the young man in Tehran.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Imposing the &#8216;Ultimate Fee&#8217;</strong><br />
It&#8217;s horrendous to maim and kill people simply because they think you&#8217;re an imbecile. It&#8217;s a particularly bitter act of inhumanity to have done this. My first impulse in hearing about this kind of treatment is to hunt that fuzzy-bearded bastard down like the cur he is and charge him the &#8220;ultimate fee&#8221; - with extreme prejudice. But luckily, there are those with more discretion than me.
</p>
<p align="left">Those holding the keys of power have to think of something other than blood lust. They must think of the millions of other Kaveh Alipors who&#8217;ll be squashed between very big rocks and very big hard places by a fight between two guys who&#8217;ll never get a scratch in a bloody conflict between two politicians - one who is moderately more successful and human and one who wouldn&#8217;t know humanity if it rose up en masse and Twittered the worthless bastard to death.</p>
<p align="left">There are times when I&#8217;m tempted to worry about my own country, but at its worst, it&#8217;s better than the best days in the Land of the Insane. It&#8217;s achingly frustrating, but I&#8217;m glad we&#8217;re holding our powder right now. No good for anyone, especially the Iranians, will come of war now. I just hope our current Messiah-in-Chief is smarter than his lunkheaded predecessor.</p>
<p align="left">If not, the price of bullets will rise to considerably more than $3000 and the protests will all be in the village square in the City of the Dead.</p>

<p><em><strong>Citation:</strong> The Obama Justice Department’s rationale for defending the Bush/<a href="http://www.dickipedia.org/dick.php?title=Dick_Cheney" title="Dickipedia: Dick Cheney">Cheney</a> policy of keeping White House <a href="http://wonkette.com/409218/obama-is-acting-unacceptably-cagey-about-white-house-visitors-records" title="Obama Is Acting Unacceptably Cagey About White House Visitors’ Records">visitor logs under wraps</a>.</em></p>
<p>One of the things voters audaciously hoped during last winter’s campaign was that President Care Bear would roll back some of the damage done to the Constitution by his predecessor, Looney Award Hall of Famer, George Bush. But so far he’s acted with all the spine of a jellyfish in a Jell-O mold.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/aaron-belkin/obama-to-fire-his-first-g_b_199070.html" title="Obama To Fire His First Gay Arabic Linguist"><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l171/omnipotentpoobah/smallloony.png" title="The Looney Awards" alt="The Looney Awards" vspace="10" width="202" align="right" border="0" height="129" hspace="0" />Gays in the military</a>? “Uh, we’re not quite ready to write a one page executive order to stop that yet. God fearing heterosoldiers and girlie men can’t shower together you know.”</p>
<p><a href="http://wonkette.com/408838/when-all-americans-can-gay-marry-we-all-gonna-screw-some-ducks" title="When All Americans Can Gay Marry, We All Gonna Screw Some Ducks">Gay marriage</a>? “Um, no, that’s the province of pedophiles and other deviants. We’ll be defending the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_Marriage_Act" class="zem_slink" title="Defense of Marriage Act" rel="wikipedia">Defense of Marriage Act</a> for some inexplicable reason, thankyouverymuch.”</p>
<p><a href="http://wonkette.com/408671/liveblogging-president-obamas-why-i-am-not-shutting-down-guantanamo-speech" title="Liveblogging President Obama’s ‘Why I Am Not Shutting Down Guantanamo’ Speech">Gitmo</a>? “Close it, but let’s leave all the other rendition palaces open just in case we need them later.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wikiality.com/Wiretapping" title="Wikiality: Wiretapping">Wiretapping</a>? “Obviously, we’re not doing enough of it. We already missed three emails and a Tweet from <a href="http://www.dickipedia.org/dick.php?title=Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad" title="Dickipedia: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad">Ahmadeniwhosie</a>.”</p>
<p><a href="http://wonkette.com/409160/john-yoo-is-americas-most-painful-anal-fissure" title="John Yoo Is America’s Most Painful Anal Fissure">Torture</a>? “It’s a bad, bad thing, but we wouldn’t want to offend anyone with pictures of it. Someone might get the idea that we actually did it or something.”</p>
<p>Obama’s Justice Department is defending the Big Dick’s refusal to release his visitor logs. Dick always used the argument that he needed to keep them secret so people would give him honest, open advice (snork!) He apparently fears confusing what a lobbyist tells him with what a sentient being tells him.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, that rationale just wasn’t asinine enough.</p>
<p>Justice department legal beagles (sorry no insult to dogs intended) now say future Asshats and Vice Asshats might be a-skeered if political opponents or comedians taunted them. Just <a href="http://omnipotentpoobah.com/2009/06/16/sarah-palin-the-commandant-of-fun/" title="Sarah Palin: The Commandant of Fun June 16">ask Sarah Plain</a> about the horror of errant comedy.</p>
<p>So, as DoJ shyster Jeffery Smith so surrealistically put it, “If we become a fact-finder for political enemies, they (the aforementioned Constitutional asshats) aren’t going to cooperate. I don’t want a future VP to say (he’s) not going to cooperate because (he) doesn’t want to be <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/19/justice-department-worrie_n_218015.html" title="DOJ: We Can't Release Cheney Records Because Of Late Night Comedy">fodder for the Daily Show</a>.”</p>
<p>Viva la Unconstitutional Monarchy! Long live the Crapweasels!</p>
<p>Obama Department of Injustice - saaaaalute!</p>
