Another Saturday Evening Post

Smacked Up Against a Brick Wall
According to a new WSJ/NBC poll, “support for President Barack Obama’s health-care effort has declined over the past five weeks, particularly among those who already have insurance.” Among those with private insurance, the proportion calling the plan a bad idea rose to 47% from 37%.

Give it up, Barack. Don't sign that weak-assed, watered-down, Blue Dogged, Republicorped, piece of phony reform legislation. Don't waste our fucking time and resources! You had well over 70% before you wimped out. You need to grow a fucking pair and start kicking these Republican and Democrat corporatists' asses!

The news Dittohead Sheep dread
Home prices up for 1st time in 3 years

The value of U.S. homes grew on a monthly basis in May for the first time in nearly three years, according to 20-city index released Tuesday.


The Dittohead Mantra: "But ... uh, we lose, if he wins."

What pictures?
Graphic images that reveal the devastating impact of global warming in the Arctic have been released by the US military. The photographs, taken by spy satellites over the past decade, confirm that in recent years vast areas in high latitudes have lost their ice cover in summer months. The pictures, kept secret by Washington during the presidency of George W Bush, were declassified by the White House last week.

Oh, those pictures ... Fool me once ... uh, shame on ... you - uh .. fool me -- can't get fooled again!

Some of them actually speak the truth!
Fate catches up to the Party of Rednecks
Too many conservative senators like Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) are to blame for the GOP's downfall, one of their retiring Republican colleagues complained Monday. "We got too many Jim DeMints and Tom Coburns," Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) told the Columbus Dispatch. "It's the southerners." Voinovich, a native Clevelander who retires after the 2010 election, continued after the southern elements of the GOP. "They get on TV and go 'errrr, errrrr,'" he said. "People hear them and say, 'These people, they're southerners. The party's being taken over by southerners. What they hell they got to do with Ohio?'"

Voinovich apparently told that factual tidbit of information, 'off the record'. He certainly shouldn't back down from telling the truth. Jim DeMint and Tom Coburn are 'southerners', they are both demented, both racist rednecks, and they definitely help Democrats get elected. And, we really do appreciate stupid hillbillys!

Diaper Dave and 'conservative values'
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana slammed fellow Republican George Voinovich Wednesday for saying the GOP's problems stem from the fact that it is "being taken over by Southerners," calling the Ohio senator "a moderate, really wishy-washy." "I'm on the side of conservatives getting back to core conservative values," Vitter told the Washington Times. "There are a lot of us from the South who hold those values, which I think the party is supposed to be about..."

Just like a wingnut. Call a moderate, 'wishy-washy', while you wear a diaper and have a prostitute spank your Bible-thumping, 'social conservative' ass! Only in wingnuttery.

Jesus was a socialist

CARS - So successful they tripled it!
July 31 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. House approved an emergency measure to add $2 billion to the “cash for clunkers” automobile purchase program after a burst of demand exhausted most of the initial $1 billion in less than a week. President Barack Obama said he was “very pleased with the progress the House has made.” The administration is “working with Congress to ensure the program can continue,” he told reporters at the White House.

Boy, it was an absolute miserable week for Dittoheads! The America-haters are shitting their pants over all of the positive economic news. With the good news about the GDP, the Dow having its best July in 20 years and now with the success of the CARS Program, El Drugbo and his Sheep are going to have to revert back to whining about big scary Negroes and birth certificates.

New Democratic GI Bill begins today
The one McCain called 'too generous' for our Vets
"The Post 9/11 GI Bill is effective Saturday, and local military and dependents say they plan to take advantage of the educational opportunities afforded by it."

It's always Democrats who take care of our military and our veterans. Do you remember John McCain and Lindsey Graham whining about Jim Webb's and the Democrats' New GI Bill being 'too generous' and George Bush threatening to veto it? Do you remember 22 Senate Republicans voting against it? Well, if you're a wingnut - most of who would never serve - you've blocked that out because when it really comes down to it, you couldn't care less about our vets if they aren't actively dying for your Chickenshit Chickenhawk punk asses! That's all right, as long as we have a Democratic majority, vets will get what they deserve.

When another Repub fucked things up
Norman Rockwell - 'Stock Exchange Quotations' - January 18, 1930

Brought to you by, George Herbert Hoover Walker Bush

Come on, don't be so damn sensitive!
“If I was the officer (Gates) verbally assaulted like a banana-eating jungle monkey, I would have sprayed him in the face with OC (pepper spray) deserving of his belligerent noncompliance...”


Of course, Officer Barrett is not a racist Pig; he has a lot of Black friends. 'Banana-eating jungle monkey'? Whew.

Bill O’Reilly, a ‘Media Courage Award’?
The man who pleasures himself with a dildo?

The right-wing Family Research Council has announced that at its upcoming Values Voters Summit this fall, the organization will be honoring Fox News host Bill O’Reilly with the first-ever “Media Courage Award.”

Only a phony-conservative Christian organization would award a man who admitted to masturbating with a dildo up his ass during unsolicited phone sex with an employee of his. With the pedophile Limbaugh and the sexual deviant, O'Reilly, being your biggest heroes, how do you hypocrites actually look in the mirror?

That's not what the Hell we're there for!
Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan -- U.S. military leaders have concluded that their war effort in Afghanistan has been too focused on hunting Al Qaeda, and have begun to shift Predator drone aircraft to the fight against the Taliban and other militants in order to prevent the country from slipping deeper into anarchy.

It is impossible to be "too focused on hunting Al Qaeda", idiots! Mr. President, you need to remind Gen. McChrystal why the fuck we're fighting that fight and if he doesn't get it, fire his ass too! Get the job done and then get the fuck out!

Way past time to leave that shit hole!
Military Adviser: Time For U.S. to Leave Iraq
In an "an unusually blunt" memo obtained by the New York Times, a senior U.S. military adviser wrote earlier this month that the United States military should "declare victory" and leave Iraq – even though Iraqi security forces still face an array of problems, including corruption and poor management. "As the old saying goes, 'Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.'" Col. Timothy R. Reese wrote. "Since the signing of the 2009 Security Agreement, we are guests in Iraq, and after six years in Iraq, we now smell bad to the Iraqi nose."

What a historical disaster. When sheep are scared.

... She ain't what she used to be
Man charged with having sex with horse

A South Carolina man was charged with having sex with a horse after the animal's owner caught the act on videotape, then staked out the stable and caught him at shotgun point, authorities said today. But this wasn't the first time Rodell Vereen has been charged with buggery. He pleaded guilty last year to having sex with the same horse ...

There never was a Clinton Recession
"The revisions showed that the 2001 recession was less severe than originally estimated, reflecting a smaller decline in business investment. The economy actually grew 0.1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2000 to the third quarter of 2001, erasing the 0.2 percent drop previously reported."

Damn, it's great being vindicated. I completely missed the above paragraph from the Bloomberg article I linked in the post yesterday. If the economy "actually grew", and did not 'recede', then it's an obvious contradiction of the very definition of the word 'recession'. What that report from the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis clearly states is we were NOT in a recession when George W. Bush took office in January, 2001. In fact, the report states that Bush's 2001 Recession didn't start until 7-9 months into his term. Bush screwed this country, coming and going!

The Adults are now in charge WASHINGTON (CNN) -- It was the U.S. government's version of the ticker in New York's Times Square, blasting Havana's main seaside strip with anti-Cuba slogans in 5-foot high crimson letters. It symbolized the tit-for-tat diplomatic row between Washington and Havana. ... The sign -- erected in 2006 by the Bush administration and billed as a way to circumvent censorship and, the administration said, offer hope and freedom to Cubans ... "

It's amazingly comical how scared, weak and juvenile the last administration was. The frightened little pricks are gone - the adults will take it from here.

And The Rooster asks, 'Mr. President, what's the rush?'

There's a new Sheriff in town
Tax Evaders Flock to IRS to Confess Their Sins
Wealthy taxpayers have inundated the Internal Revenue Service in recent weeks with requests to come clean for past tax evasion, amid a government crackdown on undeclared income from overseas accounts. The volume has been so great that Wednesday, the IRS issued a streamlined, three-page form for taxpayers seeking entry into its temporary voluntary-disclosure program. "Last week we had 400 [applicants] -- four times as many as in all of last year," said IRS spokesman Frank Keith ...

Now that is 'change' we can definitely believe in ...

Speaking of liars and tax cheats ...
Even the Sheep now realize she's dumb and useless!

Today a long time ago
First African slaves arrive in Jamestown, Virginia
The first African slaves arrived in Jamestown, Virginia on this day in 1619. They were indentured to work for tobacco plantation owners for 7 years. Single women from England were also brought over to help.

Why their audience is so stupid
As you can see from the graphic displayed on Fox News above, Iraq has disappeared off of the face of the planet. What happened to the 130,000 American troops stationed in Iraq is unknown.

I know, Chickenshit ... you don't get it. Here's a hint; Egypt is on the continent of Africa. Oh yeah, that's right, you're an ignorant and rabid Fox News and Dittohead sheep ... that would be just to left of 'Jordan', across the Red Sea. Iraq is where Fox has Egypt. Take your time.
