Humor, News Al Qaeda, Liz Cheney, Rachel Maddow, terrorist defenders Leave a comment
In a wonderful sendup of wingnut conspiracy satire, Rachel Maddow explains how we ALL are Al Qaeda! Bet you didn’t know you were a terrorist, did you??
The New Civil Rights Movement has a great clip from Maddow’s show. I can’t post it here unfortunately, as WordPress doesn’t format the MSNBC video player. (or if it does, I can’t make it work!) Check it out, here!

Another Republican hypocrite stumbles out of his closet…
Roy Ashburn (R) of Bakersfield was arrested Wednesday morning for drunk driving. Well, that’s pretty routine for the family values crowd. They do love their booze.
The really interesting thing is the state Senator was pulled over after leaving Faces, a gay bar in Sacramento. There was an unidentified male passenger, who was described only as “not identified as a lawmaker” in the Chevy Tahoe (way to go green, Roy) with Ashburn. Reliably anti-gay in his Senate votes, Ashburn appears to be another “do as I say, not as I do” Republican.
You have the right to remain silent, Senator. Too bad you didn’t take advantage of that a long time ago!

Humor, Personal children say the darnedest things, old man, Subway Leave a comment
Art Linkletter had a show on television way back in the “olden days”, when programs still announced “IN LIVING COLOR!”, and he had a segment called “Children say the darnedest things”. Parents would cringe when they’re little darlings answered Art’s questions with often embarrassing yet truthful little gems. And in the era of live TV, what they said is what you got!
So today’s event is as follows: I pull into the parking stall at my favorite Subway Sandwich Shop, and get out of the car. Now, I’m no spring chicken, I know that, but it’s not like I groaned and struggled to get out of the car! The car next to me had a young man sitting in the back seat, window down, bouncing around as only a 5 year old can. As I got out of the car, he looked at me, smiled big, and almost yelled “Hi, old man!!”
