Where Was Obama On 8/29 and Later?

We all know that McInsane was being fed B’Day cake by the Bushite in Arizona as new Orleans drowned.

Where was Barack Obama during that time period? Try this timeline.

Geaux Obama!

Ignorance = Bliss?

Spare my panty-clad tush. Ignorance is preferable to knowing or at least attempting to “know”?

This explains the whack-job Repugs who are still trying to rule our country. It explains “Voo-Doo” economics, home schooling and the need for a leader to be anointed by some mythical creature. (Yes, a Phouka guards me at all times, but I’d never let him run an entire Nation.) In this day and age people who ascribe to this “Ignorance is Bliss and Sanctity” shit are utter fucking morons. “I have Faith” does not work in a technological world. (In the nuclear Navy some folks just couldn’t get the physics, so the instructors created the “I Believe” button. Thank the Goddess I didn’t have to serve with those fools.)

Don’t get me wrong- I do have faith in people. I have seen this each and every day in my life the goodness, tenacity and heart of many, many folks. They aren’t stupid like the fools that fawn incessantly upon mooks such as McCain and Palin. The folks I like to be around are the ones who actuate themselves and their lives. We may fuck up once in a while, but we can admit the mistake and move forward. The Repug faithful cannot do this- it’s either Fate or an act of God.

So Gentle Readers, where the Hell am I going with this? Well try this one- “The Triumph of Ignorance”.

Here’s a snippet-

“On one level, this is easy to answer: Ignorant politicians are elected by ignorant people. U.S. education, like the U.S. health system, is notorious for its failures. In the most powerful nation on Earth, 1 adult in 5 believes the sun revolves around the Earth; only 26 percent accept that evolution takes place by means of natural selection; two-thirds of young adults are unable to find Iraq on a map; two-thirds of U.S. voters cannot name the three branches of government; and the math skills of 15-year-olds in the United States are ranked 24th out of the 29 countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.”

1 in every 5 adults believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth? Sweet zombie Jebus! Didn’t ya’s learn anything from Copernicus or the Space Program? I have no idea how many of these congenital idiots still believe the World is flat. (Psst… for you morons, I’ve sailed the World, She ain’t flat. Never did our ship go over the lip of the plate you think is our world.)

“But this merely extends the mystery: How did so many U.S. citizens become so dumb and so suspicious of intelligence? Susan Jacoby’s book The Age of American Unreason provides the fullest explanation I have read so far. She shows that the degradation of U.S. politics results from a series of interlocking tragedies.

One theme is both familiar and clear: Religion — in particular fundamentalist religion — makes you stupid. The United States is the only rich country in which Christian fundamentalism is vast and growing.” (My emphasis)

99% of the World’s population does not live in the Middle East. We haven’t witnessed burning bushes or had a volcano god hand us golden tablets. (Or in the case of Mormonism, Joseph Smith having golden tablets dropped on him. That had to hurt.) Our World is not the world of 3,500 B.C.E.. We have toilet paper and ‘puters.

This article stirred an old memory in me. Kept thinking that this had happened before, and yes, I found it- The “Know Nothing” party from the 1850′s. They started in the early 1840′s and merged with the Republican Party in 1860. Here’s Paul Krugman’s assesment of this in current time-

“Economist Paul Krugman, in a New York Times opinion piece dated August 7, 2008, writes

[K]now-nothingism — the insistence that there are simple, brute-force, instant-gratification answers to every problem, and that there’s something effeminate and weak about anyone who suggests otherwise — has become the core of Republican policy and political strategy. The party’s de facto slogan has become: “Real men don’t think things through.”

Though I take umbrage about the fact Krugman uses the term “men”, he’s freakin’ spot-on with his thoughts. As far as being effeminate goes, the saying “being a girl does not mean you’re a pussy” really has to become a mantra of ALL THINKING PEOPLE. The milk-toast mooks who are trying to run our world and lives from their stupid superstitions and fears are just cowards. They aren’t ready to face the World, that multi-cultural, multi-race Tech-driven World. (and tech is what raised us out of the realm of apes, thank you. Well, except for the Chimp-In-Charge.)

It is time for Reason, thoughtfulness and responsibility to become our virtues. “God” has nothing to do with this. If this belief messes with your mind, so be it. I am after all an intellectual, escargot eating Elitist.

The Ugly America

Filed under: American Culture,Campaign 2008,Fools,Insanity,John-McCain,Politicians,Sarah Palin — Morwen Madrigal @ 12:40 pm

I’ve been watching that bitch Sarah Palin whip her supporters into insanity, usually by blaming those of us on the Left for the wrongs in America. She can kiss my panty-clad tush and head back to Wasilla.

Here’s a great essay from Mike Farrell concerning the “Ugly America”. ( Gentle Readers, he isn’t referring to us… )

And here’s a snippet to wet your appetite for Repug bashing-

“Yet today, unable to rise to the challenge of hope, would-be-president McCain chooses expediency over country, placing the priestess of parochialism, a barb-tongued, inanity-prone neophyte, a heartbeat away from his Oval Office. Schooled in “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire” and “American Idol,” she energizes the pitchfork mob, dividing “real America” from the rest, reviving faint echoes of white superiority and “manifest destiny” as her sponsor deafens himself to it all.”

As a member of the World Community, I praise Mr. Farrell’s wonderful words. The winds of Change are coming…

So mote it be.

Yes I Will Vote

Filed under: Barack Obama,Campaign 2008,Elections,John-McCain — Morwen Madrigal @ 11:10 am

A new friend has looked into their cystal ball and sees that I don’t vote in November and the world goes to poop.

Don’t worry… the weight of the world rests on me, and I will vote OBAMA/BIDEN.  You could do so too.

McInsane Needs an Assist Dog,

Filed under: Campaign 2008,Elections,John-McCain,Politicians — Morwen Madrigal @ 12:14 pm

but it ain’t gonna help the Campaign’s “falling down and not being able to get up”.

Here’s another example of why McInsane needs some form of aid. From our friends over at Onion Network News comes this frightening night for the Repug Candidate.

Now let us pray that he gets that dog.

Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama For President

This is the Dawn of a New World-

“Powell, making his 30th appearance on “Meet the Press,” said he does not plan to campaign for Obama. He led into his endorsement by saying: “We’ve got two individuals — either one of them could be a good president. But which is the president that we need now — which is the individual that serves the needs of the nation for the next period of time.

“And I come to the conclusion that because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities — and you have to take that into account — as well as his substance — he has both style and substance, he has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president.”

Powell said that he is “troubled” by the direction of the Republican Party, and said he began to doubt Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) when he chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.

“Not just small towns have values,” he said, responding to one of Palin’s signature lines.”

So mote it be.

The Bailout B/S

Here’s a great illustration of what Bush, Paulson and Berneke are trying to keep alive-

Like we didn’t understand this poop from the beginning? McCin/Palin doesn’t get it.

Morons For Palin

Filed under: Campaign 2008,Elections,John-McCain,Politicians,Sarah Palin — Morwen Madrigal @ 2:08 pm

Great short opinion piece concerning Sarah Palin on the Huffington Post. (I do take umbrage about the “Tranny makeup” shot… I see her makeup as more like that of a Drag Queen’s, but that’s just me.)

More Palin Poop

My Gentle Readers know that I am days away from getting caught up with mess that is the Repugs because of the storm, but I just found a good piece on how to clear a record of illegal actions… just shut down the investigation by the power of your political allies.

Gays Liked Bush More Than McCain… Spare me

Filed under: Barack Obama,Campaign 2008,John-McCain,LGBT,Politicians — Morwen Madrigal @ 3:06 pm

So it seems that the LGBTQ community doesn’t like McCain very much. In fact the Bushite had more backing from the community than Sen. Walnuts is getting.

Well, first off, what’s to like about McInsane? He’s delusional, lacks concrete knowledge of History, especiallly the section he has lived through and he’s just a nasty, old, cute butt and money guy on the prowl.  “Baby? Wanna see my scar from when I was a POW?”. The S.O.B. dumped his first wife, devoted as she was because of the effects of a horrible accident, in order to marry an heiress and a “looker”.

Overwhelmingly supporting Senator Obama over Senator McCain in the presidential election according to results of a Harris Interactive poll released this morning, it is also predicted that McCain will garner less of the LGBT vote than President Bush did in 2000 and 2004.”

Now if we sane Queers can just change the minds of of brothers and sisters who still support the “Shit Talk Express”.
