Republican State Leadership Committee released a report boasting that the only reason the GOP controls the House of Representatives is because they gerrymandered congressional districts in blue states

Shorter GOP: We're assholes. Our ideas hurt Americans and our party is filled with racist bigots, but fuck you, we suppressed the voters want and stole the house anyway.

Hey, Tea Baggers, keep loving that chicken because you will continue to lose fair elections. Enjoy!

"a gun kept in the home was 43 times more likely to be involved in the death of a member of the household than to be used in self-defense."


Kellermann found people turned those guns on themselves and others in the house far more often than on intruders. "In other words, a gun kept in the home was 43 times more likely to be involved in the death of a member of the household than to be used in self-defense," he says.
That's a research finding conducted through funding from the CDC. And it is shocking, and demonstrates that the long-pushed notion of keeping a gun at home to be a very, very poor decision in many cases. Well we cannot let that kind of knowledge out.
Lawmakers — both Democrats and Republicans — held back some money from the CDC and made clear that no federal funds should be used to promote gun control.
Not good enough...
In 2003, Rep. Todd Tiahrt, a Republican from Kansas, added language to the Justice Department's annual spending bill. It says the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives can't release information used to trace guns involved in crime to researchers and members of the public. It also requires the FBI to destroy records on people approved to buy guns within 24 hours.
No data, no research. America, ignorant by law -- and heavily armed.

Dickhead republican, governor of America's wang, Rick Scott gave back his shelter dog.

This would be a mind-numbingly stupid enough story if it ended there, but of course it doesn't. Oh no. Because Scott abandoned Reagan shortly after he moved his family into the governor's mansion because it turned out that his rescue dog was—and brace yourselves, because this is shocking—a rescue dog.
“He was a rescue dog,” Scott said, “and he couldn’t be around anybody that was carrying anything, and so he wouldn’t get better.”
You see, he wouldn't get better because the photo shoot was done!

Founding Fathers Words Reveal 2nd Amendment Was… To Preserve Slavery

The 2nd amendment was about keeping slaves in slavery. I wasn't about Cowardly draft-dodger Ted Nugents' heroic strugle to remain free from education or his actual freedom in light of his self admitted history of serial pedophilic rape.

The 2nd amendment is not even about Wayne "Fucked In The Head" LaPierre putting armed, unemployed white guys in all the classrooms of America.

It was about keeping the Negroes and Wagon Burners in line.

he Virginia Militia was tasked with breaking up slave rebellions by busting any slave who might be organizing one. It even gave ‘incentive’ to men to serve on the militia: any freed colored person (black, Native American, or any other), if caught fleeing by the Militiaman, would be turned over to them as property, enslaved. A very effective incentive in colonial Virginia.
By 1755, the Militia was established not only as a foundation to enforce slavery in the south, but it was a structure which it could be expanded if need be. Countless records of captured free people of color, even people such as the Irish, were pressed as slaves under the system.

Was Afghanistan worth it? Chuck Hagel, Jack Lew and Biden's gun plan


Matt Miller, Robert Scheer, Michael "It Was Raining Oreos" Steele, Melody Barnes

Matt: Afghanistan was an abortion. Yet we are still there. Mike?

Mike: Please disregard my previous job and opinions as CheerLeader for the ChimpCo Regime. I'm looking to get that sticky humiliation off me. So of course, I now say Afghanistan is a disgrace. I'm looking for a job, fer Christs' sake.

Matt: Rob?

Rob: I told yo so.  Neocons were always fucked in the head. The Dirty Hippies were right.

Matt: Iraq was the dumb war. Afganistan was the smart one. What went wrong?

Melody: Loss of life always gives me a sad. But there are TONS of right wing nut paranoid fears in Afghanistan! Respect those fears.

Matt: I have a "General" who was a friend. He says Afghans are fucking stupid.  Moving on! Chuck Hagel is a 'no brainer'. Mike?

Mike: Hagel was never a "Step 'N Fetch It" or "House Negro" like I was. Tea Bag republicans can't get behind him but "O" will probably get his way.

Rob: Hagel is a RINO. He recognizes reality, unlike house republicans.

Matt: Military savings?

Melody: "O" appointed a republican! No one can do defense like a republican! John Tower. I know history! Civil rights.

Matt: Jack Lew is a Big Jew. Should we worry? Melody?

Melody: Lew has been a good Jew.  Right wing nuts went further to the right, but Lew has been steady.

Matt: Will Lew upset Wall Street?

Mike: Sour Cheese! (?) Mike says nothing but gibberish for a full minute.

Matt: Should we flip the coin? Half time break!

Matt: We're back. I meant Mint, not flip the coin.

Rob: No one cares that Lew is a Big Jew, its that he is a fucking criminal BANKSTER! Wall Street will never be regulated. We are doomed.

Matt: Shortage of women in "O"s White House. Melody?

Melody: Big Woop. Sometimes men to good work. Cars work while you are in the driveway. Supreme court. Jury is out. Women are important.

Matt: Guns. Biden task force. Video games. David Keene from NRA. Cosmetic gun laws.

Mike: Cosmetic laws are cosmetic. It gets us past the gun issue in America. I never want to take a stand on a republican issue ever again. I'm a token negro republican. I cant say 'fewer guns'.

Matt: Guns. Wow. Can anything be done? Rob?

Rob: Guns kill people. It's not video games, it's not Hollywood, it's not about defending your home. Congress is owned by the gun lobby, the NRA.

Melody: Holistic approach.  Cosmetic approach. Nothing can be done. Children will die and I'm OK with that because I want to be a pundit!

Matt: Gun buybacks! Mint the coin? Creative or Banana Republic?

Mike: I'm a VERY SERIOUS PERSON. Coin talk is silly. I'm a VSP. Crazy.

Matt: Default isn't going to happen. Default is ok.

Rob: Sacramento is nice. Cali is a bellwether.

Mike: I'm black. I can use black slang!

Melody: I'm tired of apologizing, IF I offended you, I'm sorry.

Matt: I'm afraid of Robots!

Apartheid Israel's Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, said he would steal all of the Palestinians land.


On Wednesday 9th January, as Fatah and Hamas met in Cairo to discuss reconciliation, Israel's Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, said he would not cede any more land to the Palestinians.
Bini doesn't seem to realize it's not his land to take.

Is there anything Princess Sparkle does this days other than throw temper tantrums and pout? Geez

Yes, We Have A (Defense) Spending Problem


80 cents of every dollar collected in traditional federal income taxes went for security
That's an astonishing statistic, and it captures the most underappreciated aspect of today's fiscal challenges: We have a security spending problem. Such spending is significantly higher than all non-defense discretionary domestic spending.

If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed to you. If you get sick, die quickly


“Generally, if you live in a civilized society, more guns mean more death,”

said David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. “There is no evidence that having more guns reduces crime. None at all.”

#1 in prisons, belief in ghosts & defense spending.

Overlay a map of the states with Tea Bag Republicans with one of former slave states


 
The American political process is being hijacked by a reckless, whining dangerous gang of psychologically damaged white men who are far-right ideologues. I used to be one of them. It's time to tell the truth about our white male problem.

Shorter Left, Right & Center: One Fiscal Cliff Down, Boehner, and Al Gore's Big Payday


Matt Miller, Robert Scheer, Luigi Zingales

Matt: I have a head cold.

Luigi: Screw the economists in Sandy Eggo.

Rob: The Senate handed the House it's ass. Tea-Baggers are maniacs determined to destroy everything. Matt: Luigi, I'm confused about the Cliff deal. Did Obama win?

Luigi: Obama is pretending he won. Biden is Boss. Obama can't negotiate. Can't be trusted. Besides, if we did go off the cliff, the only thing that would happen is that the economy would suffer! Big Woop! Cut entitlements. Hurt poor people. Italy did it.

Matt: What about jobs?

Luigi: I hate stimulus. Give Banksters some more money. No austerity. The future is in the future.

Matt: Bob? Bob: Entitlements aren't the problem, deregulation is/was. And hey, Luigi, Your Italian knuckleheads fucked up socialism. Look at Germany or even China, they did it right. Unemployment policy worked too, but the money we gave to Banksters didn't work.

Matt: Luigi?

Luigi: The future! WW2 was a dream. The future has to be paid for. Richer. It's a trick. Western Europe. Fiscal Cliff futility. Future. Not as rich. Germany did a phenomenal job but cost Shroder his job. He was a hero, but lost his job. Leadership! Medicare is expensive. Death panels.

Matt: Add taxes. Poor kids.

BREAK

Luigi: Why do republicans like medicare. Italian taxes are high.

Matt: John Boner can't govern the Tea Baggers.

Bob: Tea Baggers are insane assholes. Highways work. Medicare works.

Matt: Luigi? Tea Baggers?

Luigi: Republicans are obstructionist. It isn't working. They are too stupid to figure it out. ChimpCo republicans & Tea Baggers have no purpose.

Matt: Cruz & Rubio et al can't remake the party, because they would have to actually do something to improve upward mobility and help poor people. Google Does No Evil! Bob?

Bob: Nice search motor, really. But anti-trust doesn't help against the Googles, MS or Apples of the world. Google doesn't spread the advertising wealth to artists, real reporters, researchers and wrighters.

Matt: Luigi?

Luigi: Rethink property rights. Google violates property rights and it costs other people. There must be a Google competitor or two somewhere. I'll a have to Google when I get home. MS is a dinosaur. Free markets!

Matt: Al Gore sold out. No one watched Current!

Bob: Al Jazera does better reporting than Current TV. Amy Goodman should get her own show.

Matt: My old boss, Andrew Sullivan now has a paywall! Fuck him. I'm jealous.

Luigi: Al Jazera? Meh. Al Gore is a crony capitalist. Dan Quail is no genius.

END OF SHOW RANT

Bob: Crony capitalism? How about about JP Morgan Chase? The BANKSTERS continue to ruin everything!

Luigi: Hollywood corporate welfare sucks. It's a worry.

Matt: Tax swaps. Carbon tax. VAT. Financial tax. Swap out corporate income and payroll taxes. That's the show!
