We amuse the rest of the world, we’re like a clown to them.

Why would you play this funny? Why give the message that old people are worthy of derision, essentially because they’re old? This looks like a really bad Super Bowl spot when the issue discussed is deadly serious. Republicans are claiming that the ad represents “scare tactics” but no, I could show you scare tactics. A closeup of a senior’s hand as she struggles in the last throes of life and then pulling out to reveal she’s laying on the middle of the sidewalk as white men in suits ignore her, that’s scare tactics.

If you don’t believe me, you weren’t paying attention during the Clinton years; remember, we had months of hearings over claims that something was [...]

So, in that spirit of laughter and mockery, as we begin the last week of the testimony portion of the Proposition 8 trial, I wanted all of you to share in the laughter with our friends from WakeUpWorld. It’s a good one, and we thank them for it.

Yeah, Mr Blunt — your values are being challenged. Not the values you think are being challenged by America’s desire to get the rapacious health insurance industry off our backs. The values America challenged last November, and the values Americans continue to challenge every day, are the values that allow the GOP’s number-two man in the US House of Representatives and its candidate for Senate from Missouri to start a sentence: “Monkeys….” and get an approving reaction from Values Voters.
