Now that his two year post-Senate "cooling off" period is over, totally not gay toe-tapper Larry Craig is once again trolling the halls of Congress, but this time it's as a lobbyist. 
Rev. Grant Storms is apparently well known in New Orleans for wearing stupid Bible-American-flag t-shirts, donning ridiculous 1980s pedophile/hipster glasses, and walking through Southern Decadence, the city's annual gay festival, with a broom. Apparently, though, he does not do this during the city's annual boob festival, Mardi Gras, so it's the gays he has a problem with, not sex in general. Unfortunately for this preacher man, he was arrested at a public park Friday after two witnesses say they saw him sitting in his van "looking at the playground area that contained children playing, with his zipper down," masturbating. An alternate lifestyle, if you will. READ MORE »
I agreed with Doctorow that the recent shutdown of the Westboro loons was a stunt by WBC itself. Now Anonymous has spoken out in an interview with Shirley Phelps-Roper denying any involvement. Here's the hilarious bit, though: midway through the interview, after Phelps-Roper's prolonged ranting and raving, the Anonymous spokesman calmly announces that they were going to shut down one of her sites, right then and there. And he did.
Interview with anonymous and Shirley Phelps-Roper here.
In the immortal lines of Ash: "Good, bad, I'm the one with the gun." Do not tease the guys with the high tech weapon when all you've got to defend yourself is a loony book of Iron Age dogma.

WTF have unions done so far?Wow. Check out the angry and violent union mob in Wisconsin - complete with palm trees.
And in a related Fox Lies story:
Fox News reporter appears to have lied about being 'punched' by protester
Appears? We are talkin' 'bout Fox, right?
Mike Tobin, reporting from amid the massive demonstration on Friday, claimed that one of the protesters "punched" him in the arm. In another broadcast, he claimed a man threatened to break his neck.
In both cases, supporting evidence for these claims was not broadcast — yet still, Tobin's reports have been widely cited across conservative blogs that seem eager to depict union workers as hateful and violent.
What's worse, Tobin's allegation that he was assaulted might have slipped past without rebuttal were it not for a camera-equipped bystander, who captured the scene.

And he's not even running for president most likely:
I would love to know more. What I know is troubling enough. And one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, [is] very different than the average American.
[.....]
...if you think about it, his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather.
How long til this becomes accepted fact like the earth tones and Al Gore's claim that he invented the internet?

You only get help in this country if you are a corporation.
Boehner's public rhetoric takes on a loudmouth-drunk-at-the-end-of-the-bar quality when he talks to Christian radio "Governors are trying to find ways to balance their budgets, which they're required to do. In some of these states you've got collective bargaining laws that are so weighted in favor of the public employees that there's almost no bargaining. We've given them a machine gun and put it right at the heads of the local officials and they really have their hands tied."

Bigot-swindling adulterer Newt Gingrich is running for president
Everyone stop planning your Herman Cain inauguration ball! The 2012 Republican race for president has a second candidate! According to "confidants close to the former House speaker" (mistresses?), Newt Gingrich will announce his decision to form a presidential exploratory committee by the end of this week, which is approximately only a little more than a decade since he was last actually relevant to politics. Any Republican primary voter wishing to cast his or her ballot for Newt will have to send him a $50 donation and bag of Reese's peanut-butter cups to be eligible for his "Newt's Basic-Level Voter Club." A $200 donation will get you into the "Newt's Eagle-Level Voter Club." And the "Newt's Running Mate" package costs $50,000 and the access to a young woman who will have a month-long affair with him.

One could only hope that he runs on the good old "Family Values" platform.

Michele Bachmann is against earmarks, unless it is for a $700 million bridge in her district that violates federal law:
U.S. Rep Bachmann, R-Hypocriticalnutcase, introduced a bill Tuesday that would exempt the St. Croix River Crossing Project from the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Last October, the National Park Service ruled the bridge planned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation did not comply with the law, and was a detriment to the river.
Quelle surprise. F**khead.
