Bill Maher calls Obama out

Let me be quite clear, I think Bill Maher is an arrogant, smug, and condescending asshole. But in this video clip he calls out Obama and is pretty much right on the money:

Jiminy Cricket contrasts wisdom and folly

My first and greatest teacher Mr. Jiminy Cricket here explains how to avoid foolishness. Perhaps the GOP should consult the worthy Insect?

Pro-Sex women and moderate republicans.

Interesting interview of Megan McCain on the Colbert report. Defining herself as a"pro-sex woman," she offers her vision of what the GOP could be. Basically her vision is of a Republican Party that is fiscally conservative, staunchly pro-military, and socially liberal.

I have some very different views, but this is a Republican I can respect, and a conception of the Republican party that is genuinely respectable. If the party does turn in her direction, things will be looking up for the country:

Should we want Limbaugh's Kidneys to fail?

By now everyone knows what the comedian Wanda said about Rush Limbaugh at the White House Correspondents Dinner. How should we react?

Obviously no compassionate and humane person would actually want Limbaugh's kidney's to fail. But what are we to make of her joke?

Did Wanda go "over the line" in saying that she hopes Limbaugh's kidney's fail? Yes. Of course she did. Should we liberals hope this happens to Limbaugh? No! I don't and I'm sure most don't. I even wager that Wanda does not want this to happen to Limbaugh.

My hope for Limbaugh is that he is visited by the repentant ghost of William F. Buckley Jr and then 3 spirits who show him the error of his ways.

Interestingly however, right wing nut jobs like Alan Keyes, Sean Hannity, Limbaugh himself, Glen Beck, and their fellows say things as bad and worse than Wanda did. Furthermore, these "pundits" say such things repeatedly and frequently. And they mean what they say quite literally and not as an inappropriate attempt at humor.

Take a look here for a small sample of this frequent right-wing hate speach. Media Matters regularly compiles such lists.

Now ... will the right-wingers also admit that Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Coulter and others go "over the line?" You know, every time they speak.

It's hardly surprising that someone - particularly a woman of color - would hate a bigoted blowhard like Limbaugh. Wanda did indeed go too far with her joke, but Limbaugh and his brood of vipers go too far almost daily and with far more villainy in their hearts.

For the far right to complain about Wanda's "joke" is for the proverbial teapot to call the kettle black, or to attempt to remove the speck from your brother's eye while at the same time being oblivious to the beam in your own.

Sarah Palin's Lowest moment

What?! This "Wattlegate" business about Sarah Palin has been all over the news. But I thought I'd post it here as Sarah Palin shows a dramatic lack of awareness in this video interview. In this clip we see Keith Olbermann reacting to it, his responses pretty much sum the whole thing up.



Oh Sarah! You need some better advisors!
