People in the right-turn lane in the US South are wound up tighter than dick’s hatband: “We pray that you will lift him up and… make it known before this nation this is the man that you have for this country,” the man said, before adding that the right person is “not someone who wants to kill people and babies.”
Uplifted in prayer is Rick Santorum — the winner in a couple of GOP presidential primaries yesterday.
Hard to tell who’s the real nutcase: Nit-twit Rick or those pathetic souls who voted for him.

And speaking of killing people and babies: US defense honcho Leon Panetta is in Afghanistan in the wake of that massacre last Sunday and everybody is freaked out of their freakin’ minds: “All I know is I was told to get the weapons out,” he said. Asked why, he replied, “Somebody got itchy, that’s all I’ve got to say. Somebody got itchy; we just adjust.”

(Illustration found here).

The New York Times story presented the intense implication that some US GIs — or nearby Afghan troops, also not armed — might take a shot at Leon — WTF.
Not only a worry about the Taliban, but our own people gunning down our own people.
Panetta blubbered Patton-historic like a peacocked asshole on the airplane ride to Afghanistan:

“War is hell,” he said.
“These kinds of events and incidents are going to take place, they’ve taken place in any war, they’re terrible events, and this is not the first of those events and it probably will not be the last.”
He added: “But we cannot allow these events to undermine our strategy.”

And pray-tell Leon, what the shit is that strategy?

And speaking of going down the toilet.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:

A San Diego high school student has filed a lawsuit claiming she was humiliated after her art teacher refused to give her a hall pass and she was forced to urinate in a bucket.
…
The 14-year-old female student alleges she was forced to urinate in a bucket in the room out of view of classmates at Patrick Henry High School.
The student says after doing so she was teased so much that she no longer feels safe at the school.
The claim seeks more than $25,000 in damages and payment for the girl to attend private school for the rest of high school.

There’s a shitload of other dumb-ass stuff going on, but they will take care of themselves.
Here it freakin’ is again!
Wednesday…..
