Pouting Baby wonders if Mrs. Ginni T turned into Mrs. Gin and T before she made the phone call to Professor Hill.

Oh, we’ll all need an early spring vacation by January and what could be more fun than a nice desert escape and some infiltration of an invitation-only, confidential meeting at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa in Rancho Mirage near Palm Springs, CA. Sponsored by Koch Industries’ founders Charles and David Koch, the until now top-sekrit gathering of conservatives entitled Understanding and Addressing Threats to American Free Enterprise and Prosperity.

Today is a birthday. I usually like birthdays a lot, because everybody at the party is happy. But today’s birthday is not a happy one. I heard on television that nine years ago today, the fighting started in Afghanistan. Nine years seems like a really long time and it sounds like this fighting is really bad. A lot of people are dying over there.

James O’Keefe may have read The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists and obviously James O’Keefe thinks he is a pimp–heck he dressed up as one: a smooth operatin’ Hugh Hefner/James Bond clone with right wing cred and a tacky sense of style.

But um, no he is fail. Limp, flaccid, puerile fail. Whatta maroon! And bless you Izzy Santa for your sisterhood solidarity in telling CNN Investigative Correspondent Abbie Boudreau what nasty plans O’Keefe had in store for her involving chocolate dipped strawberries and silicon lube.

Just like there are Baptists that drink, Catholics who support liberation theology and a variety of other shades and hues in the Christian coloring book–as well as some who go outside the lines–there are all variety of witches. Not all witches are Satanists. Or Druids, Wiccans, Re-Weavers, Dianic, shamans, or members of the Ancient, Secret and Unacceptable Order of the Almond Bear Claw Danish Qabalistic Coffee Coven ™, any more than not all Christians are narrow-minded theocratic, anti-sex, anti-gay, fundamentalists. Heck, some witches aren’t even religious, they just have mad skillz.

On Sunday Lady Gaga went to the Video Music Awards with former members of the armed service who left/were discharged over Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and who are part of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network.

Today Lady Gaga tweeted her nearly 7 million followers and asked them to call Harry Reid and schedule a Senate vote on the repeal of DADT. Reid must have gotten the messages. He responded via Twitter.

Now Preacher Jones is saying he just might play with matches anyway. It sure looks like Preacher Jones wants people to talk about Preacher Jones instead of the nice man in the book Preacher Jones says he likes.

Glenn Beck thinks God gave him a flyover at his Beckstalnacht rally Saturday in Washington DC. With a flock of geese. Because Glenn Beck couldn’t get a military flyover. Or someone in uniform to present the flag, thank god/s.
