Ablogination

Doing research and getting ready to blog locally… Just stopped in to rant.

1) Jihad Jane (with the kung fu grip):

It appears an American citizen has been arrested for plotting terrorism.
According to sources, Colleen LaRose had also attempted suicide years before.

Some people can’t do anything right.

2) It’s a flaming Massa-cre!:

New York Rep. Eric Massa-D, resigned in disgrace after it was found out that he’s more of a flameball than Perez Hilton and Richard Simmons combined.

It’s one thing to be gay. That occurs naturallly. But skipping merrily around the office tickling your fellow male co-workers like a bald Tinkerbell is most certainly beyond the pale of customary public behavior.
Massa is a pervert just like Mark Foley was. His whining is only an effort to take attention away from his personal misconduct and place it elsewhere. Good bye and good riddance.

3) Joe Biden Kisses Israeli Ass. Again:

“US President Barack Obama and myself know that the US has no better friend in the community of nations than Israel.” - Joe Biden

First of all, Joe, speak for yourself. Israel is our worst enemy and there’s no shortage of Americans who recognize that all too obvious fact.
We are not friends of terrorists, no matter what country they occupy.
From the intentional attack on the USS Liberty to the countless Israeli spies that regularly violate this farcical meme of “friends", Israel is anything but a friend to this nation. They are the reason we have lost American lives fighting Israel’s battles.
Our soldiers have died fighting where cowards like the IDF should be fighting.
We have fearlessly faced the full military might of Israel’s enemies while Israel attacks people in squalor armed only with rusty rifles and bottle rockets, with state of the art aircraft.

Hear this, Israel. You are no friend of mine. In fact, I no longer even recognize your right to exist as a nation. Too many war crimes, too many betrayals, too many lies. May you rot in Hell.

4) Ain’t worth the salt in my tears:

Ok…this is the kind of knee-jerk goofy bullshit that we DO NOT NEED in the Democratic party.
With two wars still lingering, a recovering but still ailing economy, Republican obstructionism to everything etc, etc…some creepy little pygmy in NY, Rep. Felix Ortiz - D, has decided he want’s to ban salt in NY’s restaurants.
Well, Felix, I hope NY tells you to get fucked. Democrats like yourself are an embarrassment to the party and hopefully you will be replaced one day by a Democrat who’s NOT an asshole living in his own little world of make believe.

In case no one knows, mister Food Safety Midget and his “righteous” concern for public safety also sponsored a bill to decrease the drinking age to 18 from 21.
Real concerned about NY’s health are you, stilt? Well it surely shows.

5) Rover still can’t roll over:

Mike Isikoff of Newsweek runs it up into Karl Rove’s new book and details what a whitewashed accounting it is of Rove’s criminal career as White House Chief of Bullshit under BushCo.
In the account of the treason committed in the outing of covert CIA operative, Valerie Plame, Rove casts himself as an innocent victim who had no hand in the crime.
The crystal clear fact that Karl Rove is a traitor along with Dick Cheney, Richard Armitage, Scooter Libby and the late Robert Novak could not be hidden even if Rove himself sat on it with his fat Nazi ass.

Karl Rove is a traitor and should have suffered the full penalty of law long ago. Or at least ended up doing his best Ned Beatty impersonation while spending the rest of his life in general population at Terminal Island.

6) Bart Stupak, Republicans and Abortion. Here’s what to do:

I’ve written it before and I’ll write it again. Trade the Abortion coverage for the Public Option.

This is a trade off the conservanoids will accept even if they do so reluctantly. First, their constituencies are intellectually limited. Like one of those honking Geese at the park, it only takes one piece of bread to shut them up.
The simple fact is that catastrophic illnesses are deadly and far more frequent than abortions. The overall health of the nation should be considered a far greater priority. The cost of treating a person with Cancer is far greater than that of having an abortion. This is common sense, nothing more.

Perhaps later, some financial assistance can be provided to the individual states to help offset the cost of abortion. But the procedure will not leave one in debt for life like major surgery can and does.
The trade is fair and practical.
Of course, pregnancy that threatens the health and life of the mother should be covered, but the “I had to get laid but I don’t want the results” situations should never take precedence over genuine health issues.

Make the trade, they will bite.
