Educating little Rick — ‘No dark sarcasm in the classroom’

The vaulted Michigan primary is this Tuesday and the ugly, nasty waters of the GOP will be muddled even further if Mitt Romney loses — the man’s biggest rival, bonehead Rick Santorum, blubbered to voters this weekend to pop the event “on its ear” by choosing him and not Romney when they go to the…

Theology of Disaster

Religion covers a lot of ground — there’s a church for just about every conceivable thought and emotion, and there’s always somebody willing to kill you for whatever’s sake. Rick Santorum’s smug view: “In the Christian church there are a lot of different stripes of Christianity. If the president says he’s a Christian, he’s a…

Negative Funny

There’s something way-perverted here — happiness is a warm gun. Best. Parent. Ever. Tommy Jordan for president. That’s the response Jordan is getting from tens of thousands of people on the Internet after a YouTube video featuring the North Carolina dad shooting up his 15-year-old daughter’s laptop with a .45 went viral this week. Sure,…

Guano Articulate

Rainy day here along California’s northern coast, though, the sun does peek out from amongst the clouds every now and then. Odd sensation that: Sunshine and rain. In my original neck-of-the-woods (southeastern Alabama), there was some old catch-saying I’d heard as a wee child, went something like this: ‘When you see sun when it’s rainin,’…

Nightmare

Morning horror: Woke up way-too early to fully handle the CNN headline: Santorum’s Surprise 3-State Sweep. The eyes saw, but didn’t understand/believe — the most-immediate reaction was to quickly suppress blowing huge, gnarly chunks all over the Internets. Clueless ass-wipe Santorum incoherently declared: “I think we need to win in the sense that we need…

Party of Assholes

Last night, long-time CBS correspondent Bob Schieffer waxed hot on modern US politics: This is just another sign of the incivility and really the vulgarity of modern American campaigns. These campaigns have gotten so ugly and so nasty, that they’re now tarnishing the whole system. I think it also underlines the coarseness of our culture…

Action Jackson

Using Osama bin Laden as a kind of verbal bookends, President Obama jumped on reality with a touch of a man-up pose in his state-of-the-union speech last night, calling on the US to “restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of…

State of Dysfunction

Subject to be most discussed this morning here in northern California — the 49ers loss yesterday to the New York Giants. Personally, I don’t give a fat-rat’s-ass, but this from fumble-bum Kyle Williams typified a lot of shit: “Everyone in here told me to keep my head up and it’s not on me,” said Williams,…

Repugnancy Ringing

Too early for nausea already — an election year with a bad, bad hangover of way-too much asshole behavior: A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows a new high — 84 percent of Americans — disapproving of the job Congress is doing, with almost two-thirds saying they “disapprove strongly.” Just 13 percent of Americans approve…
