This week has been a doozy! If this is how 2010 is starting off, my only hope is “in like a lion, out like a lamb.” But enough looking into my crystal martini glass, time to look back over this past week.
Oh, and lest we forget, this week’s Reason to Binge Drink and the Captain Obvious Award winners…gotta click “more” to see them…
Weekly Winners:
REASON TO BINGE DRINK: 4-way TIE! Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) for showing us how low they can really go during a crisis!
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS AWARD: Sarah Palin for her hard work this week (keep reading for full details).
SUNDAY, 10 January 2010
- Reason to Binge Drink: Liz Cheney, for following in her father’s footsteps; note to all: don’t go hunting with either.
- Captain Obvious Award: “Game Change” for outing Sarah Palin as a complete idiot; she does this whenever she opens her mouth.
To start the week off, the book “Game Change” outs a comment by Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) referring to “Negro dialect” and observing that President Obama doesn’t have one unless he wants to have one. In the same book, they out Sarah Palin who evidently has no idea why North and South Korea are separate nations (among many other things about which she has no idea). The Democrats are getting nervous that a Republican may win the late Senator Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat in Massachusetts. And Liz Cheney opens her yap (much like her father) and attacks President Obama on his response to the failed Christmas Day terror attack.
MONDAY, 11 January 2010
- Reason to Binge Drink: Sarah Palin, Fox News (Faux Noise) contributor
- Captain Obvious Award: Fox News (Faux Noise) for hiring Sarah Palin as a news contributor and cementing its status as the stupidest cable news station.
Which brings us to Monday and the start of the Perry v Schwarzenegger trial, or as it is also known, the Prop 8 trial. The plaintiffs come out swinging and the defense looks as stupid as it really is. The Senate filibuster and supermajority rules are finally getting the scrutiny they deserve – FYI, the filibuster and supermajority are Senate rules not constitutionally mandated rules. And Sarah Palin was announced as being a new contributor on, guess where? Fox News!
TUESDAY, 12 January 2010
- Reason to Binge Drink: Faux Noise for, well, being Faux Noise.
- Captain Obvious Award: The Tea-baggers for finally doing what we’ve thought they would do all along: implode.
Ah, Tuesday, the day Faux Noise continued to point to cold weather as conclusive proof that climate change doesn’t exist. And the Democrats earn a resounding cheer from the LGBT community for working to get Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) repealed by sticking it in a defense authorizations bill. Go Dems! The Tea Party has division in the ranks…ah, Tuesday’s shaping up to be a good day! Tuesday night: Sarah Palin began her career as a Faux Noise commentator. And betting pools began all over the country with bets placed as to when individuals think she will quit.
WEDNESDAY, 13 January 2010
- Reason to Binge Drink: Pat Robertson, for being a stupid, crazy, bigoted piece of bat shit.
- Captain Obvious Award: Pat Robertson for opening his yap and telling us all that he is a stupid, crazy, bigoted piece of bat shit. Again.
Wednesday was a sad day. It was the day we learned just how devastated Haiti was when it was hit by a massive earthquake and untold numbers were killed, injured and left homeless. It was also the day Pat Robertson opened that hole in his face and blamed Haiti for bringing the earthquake upon itself. How? Through a supposed “pact with the devil.” I’d say that Pat Robertson is the devil, but that would be an insult to the devil, who I think is much smarter than Pat Robertson.
THURSDAY, 14 January 2010
- Reason to Binge Drink: Rush Limbaugh, for being Rush Limbaugh
- Captain Obvious Award: Rush Limbaugh for letting us all know once again that he is nothing more than a festering herpetic wart on the asshole of mankind.
The good news on Thursday is that most people are putting aside their personal spites and/or partisan feelings to come together in support of Haiti. People everywhere are using text messaging to send money in support of the Red Cross’ relief effort in Haiti. Sometimes people show you the best in themselves. And sometimes they show you the worst. Rush Limbaugh couldn’t let Pat Robertson hog the PR opportunity known as the Haitian disaster. He had to open his yap and spew forth about how Haiti is a golden opportunity for President Obama and how we shouldn’t send money to Haiti and how he, Rush Limbaugh, is a ginormous piece of moon-bat shit who controls the Republican Party like a puppet-master. Oh, and this is also the date we got to laugh at the hilarious interview of Sarah Palin by Glenn Beck.
FRIDAY, 15 January 2010
- Reason to Binge Drink: Tie! Glenn Beck and Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) for following in the footsteps of Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson.
- Captain Obvious Award: Public Policy Polling for telling us all what big hypocrites those Republicans are!
The investigation into the Fort Hood shooting highlights what I’ve known for years: the military is ineffective at policing its own ranks and most military doctors have the medical ability of a lab rat (and I think I just insulted lab rats). And not to be outdone by either Rush Limbaugh or Pat Robertson, we have more vitriol from the right (collective “oh, Jesus”). Glenn Beck opened his crazy yap and said that President Obama’s quick response to the Haitian disaster is deepening the “divide” in the country (which divide? Maybe the one between Glenn Beck’s ears?). Oh, and Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has decided in his infinite crazy-dom that any illegal immigrants from Haiti should be promptly deported so they can act as relief workers in Haiti. In news of the obvious, a poll by Public Policy Polling has discovered that Republicans are big, fat hypocrites when it comes to “family values” and “morals.”
SATURDAY, 16 January 2010
- Reason to Binge Drink: GOP candidate Scott Brown for bringing up birther crap and adding to it.
- Captain Obvious Award: Sarah Palin for being a money-grubby fame whore. Again.
President Obama met with former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to highlight the need to help Haiti and to put aside partisanship when doing so. The tied Reasons to Binge Drink on Friday should take a lesson. President Obama used his weekly address to tell the big banks that America is going to get its money back from them and they need to watch out! And it was reported that Sarah Palin and her daughter received $100,000 dollars for their In Touch Weekly cover. No one is surprised. And I don’t think the Dems have too much to worry about in the Massachusetts Senate race as the GOP candidate Scott Brown suggested – on camera – that President Obama was born out of wedlock. And the birthers now have a whole new twist!
