Texas Republicans are truly an entirely separate category of stupid.
“For somebody like me who has put together the logistics of a court trial, you’ve got weak links all along the way from the jailers, the bailiffs, the clerks, the jurors, the judge, everybody in the courtroom, their families…You’ve got subways, tunnels, bridges all subject to terrorism.”
Then, in an apparent reference to the billions in federal cash that flowed to the city after the Sept. 11 attack, he added: “And unless they’re trying to create a new jobs bill by allowing terrorism back in New York then this is insane. And even that would be insane.“
And if anyone knows insane, it’s Gohmert.

Do you hear laughter, Tyler and Longview?
Oh, but Keith didn’t cover the really crazy bit from Gohmert. Fortunately, Jon Stewart was on the case. Start just after four minutes on this clip.
Why was it necessary to login again as I moved from the last thread to this one.
ROTFLMAO at this from MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34042394/ns/technology_and_science-innovation/
I shudder at the prospects from this research.
Mornin’, BT, pups
Hey, Raven, if yer still around, sorry about Uga. That’s way too young for such a distinguished pup.
Speaking of batshit crazy rethugs Virginia Foxx needs to keep her hand away from the on/off switch while she has her head in the mixmaster.
LOL that’s rich.
Look at it this way…….if it works on humans, may be it will get some of those forkin’ erectile dysfunction ads off the idjit box. *g*
Are you referring to her hairdooooooo or the spew that comes out of her mouth? At least one of our pups is in her district (yeah, yeah, lotsa pups with their own batshit crazy pols) but Sunny ain’t never done nothin’ to deserve this particular witch for a rep.
That’s what remotes are for.
Yesterday, she claimed that the rethugs were responsible for passing the civil rights legislation in the sixties.
Do I remember correctly that she used to be a school teacher? Imagine the young minds she warped.
Those ED ads make me batshit crazy.
If I never see one again, I’ll die a happy woman.
Thanks BT.
Good morning pups. Keith also had Arianna on to discuss the crazy insane festoring maggot that is glenn beck. She was not kind.
English professor and then president of community college.
Yeah, I can just hear the five-year old kid yellin’, “Hey, Mommy! Where’d you put the remote? I wanna mute this sex ad.” ;-)
If the thugs are so freaked about kids being forced to take a sex ed class, guess they’re fine with them watching this kind of shit about enlarging Daddy’s dick 24/7.
Sorry, luv, but I seem to have been on a rant about this particular topic in the past several days.
Geez. Scraping the bottom of the barrel in VA.
One of my pet peeves too. Rant on.
North Carolina
OMG! Think I’d heard about the English business but didn’t know about the community college……..I can just picture the faculty (or at least some of them) dancing down the hallways when she left.
My fifteen year old son is at the age where he doesn’t wanna even acknowledge penis/sex/girls to his mom. When he’s watching tv at night with me, he just gets up and leaves the room, shaking his head.
But we will be *more* than happy to send her to VA….on a rail would be my preferred method of transportation.
Whichever state.
Virginia Fox is another topic that makes me batshit crazy.
Talk about yer child abuse.
I can’t imagine what it must be like to have young kids in the house and trying to answer their questions whenever this kind of garbage comes on.
She is in a state of confusion.
I have 20 pages left on a 600 page book. It is interesting but I had my fill about 400 pages. I’m determined to finish, though. (It’s about the prison colony founding of Australia. Talk about torture.) BBL. Be well.
My son is fairly educated about the current politics. (Wonder where he gets it. *g*) If he ever questioned me (which he won’t) about ED, I’ll just tell him not to worry, it’s most likely a Republican problem. /s
I have a TiVo, so I can fast forward past the commercials, but I swear I see fleeting bits of C@ilis ads at every commercial break. I also see fleeting “fair and balanced” stuff. Does Faux Nooz run ads on KO and Rachel?
Gotta go run errands……..y’all have a good one. John McCutcheon is playing locally tonight in concert and I’m really looking forward to that.
Dunno, but me too, sporadically. I finally broke down and told the computer to remember my password. Gettin’ lazy here.
newsmax had several ads (basically giving away palin’s book) on one or the other of their shows this week…..iirc it was at Keef’s place. Oh, and what a coincidink………that just *happens* to be one of the sources of information she mentioned reading. :-(((
*GGGG*
…it’s most likely a Republican problem. /s
I dunno – seems to me that they’ve always got a hard-on about something or other.
She reminds me of a cartoon I saw decades ago. It had a profile of a crabby looking, elderly teacher who looked very much like Foxx. The caption was something like: “Today we will discuss the sperm cell, the egg, fertilization of the egg, and other such filthy, disgusting things.”
One more comment about those commercials, I promise. The ads say if you have a HO for 4 hours to call your docter. Um, and at 2:00 in the morning, or whenever, what’s the doctor going to do? Come on over and help you out? And, those side affects? Right. If your tongue swells up and turns black and you stop breathing, call your doctor.
Batshit Cwazy.
Sure puts a new twist on “Chubby Chicken” ! *g*
It comes from a lifetime of telling themselves “sex is dirty bad, sex is dirty bad,” then running off with some hooker.
Come to think of it, I wonder if C Street is into group sex?
Yup I caught that. I’ve never been to Newsmax, but it’s a wingnut site, isn’t it?
and thus hookers have gotten a bad name….
“wingnut site” that’s an understatement.
If you are over thirty or plan to be over thirty you should not take this medication. If you think this medication is right for you consult your psychiatrist.
Hey, jayt! How’s it hanging? (sorry…*g*)
I think the ED drugs DO have legitimate uses, such as helping men who have had prostatectomy resume sex lives. I don’t know for sure that ALL such surgeries have that side effect, but I know it is true for some, along with incontinence. So I certainly don’t begrudge men with real need for that help (and their wives/partners) access to it. But the TV ads are unnecessary and offensive. JMHO.
OOOH, that was topical — good one, Demi!
We could go on and on couldn’t we? If you find yourself talking about ED for more than 4 hours, step away from your computer.
I just broke my promise, didn’t I?
I prob should check it out. I avoid going to those sites (another is Politico) because I don’t want to add traffic to their site meter
When I was in 6th grade, we had a teacher (not a cartoon) about that age…it was her job to separate the boys away from the girls, so she could explain that monthly thing. I’m laughing thinking about it. She was alovely kind person, and I suspect she would have rather been dead than have the job of that explanation.
These days I guess some of the girls are pregnant by then.
Teachers should be paid more, dontcha know? Thanks for the memory.
Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste
They are big on the birther crap and recently called for a coup in DC then pulled the article.
Reminds me of the plastic surgeon who hung himself.
Morning Bev. When I got That Education, they herded all the girls into the auditorium and showed us animated lesson about teh sex. I remember being horrified.
Unfortunately some of us DON’T have to imagine it.
I’m all about being open and honest with my kids, but I’m also about age-appropriateness.
The 1st district was gerrymandered by Karl Rove for Gohmert by adding
Tyler to the old 1st district that remained Democratic. The Tyler move
brought the south Tyler Green Acres Baptist, Texas A&M, oil and gas, medical elites into the equation transforming the district into an 80+
district for Gohmert. The television stations are all based in Tyler as
are the local talk radio jocks that mimic their better known national
models by being more outrageous. That style has taken over local television
coverage of national events, a trick they all learned from Rove/Bush.
Bottom line, Gohmert is popular here. The wilder he gets the more positive
his local press gets, it is a perfect do-loop… welcome to Alabama.
Ya really want to see one that’s out there? This is a site put up by a Libertarian/Bircher/Birther who calls in to WMNF on almost every talk show, although since I blasted him on air a couple weeks ago he’d been noticeably silent until yesterday. For the longest time he couldn’t even get the name of his site right when he called in. I linked to the About page so you could see who this guy is. Click on Home to see what the site covers.
Ohhhhhhh…groan
New post up…
Is it me or do these wingnuts all have a wildeyed stare.
You noticed that too, eh? Like a deer caught in headlights. Dude is realllllly out there.
Gotta get outta here. Fog is like sea poop this mornin’.
Hysterical….THE Auditorium….like a big entertainment. Enjoy.
When listening to Louie G, I get this distinct feeling of deja vu! “Embracing the homage of reason, opposed to the blindfolds of fear?” He has abdicated reason for political motives, like this guy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism
“The term is also now used more generally to describe reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries.”
The tactic employed here is nothing new. Joe McCarthy’s ghost lives in the halls of congress and media infecting logic like a parasite infects its host, with specific deleterious consequences. The American people know the consequences of political opportunist exploiting America for profit! We live it today….
This would be relevant if more than 35 people watched his show, but they don’t, so it isn’t.
May I recommend the excellent Arthur C. Clarke story, “:The Food of the Gods”? Some info here; http://variety-sf.blogspot.com/2007/09/arthur-clarkes-food-of-gods-corporate.html
