That’s gre… ooh.  You’re black aren’t you?  Well, there’s always veep!

OK, number one, how the hell does this happen?  Number two, how has this been allowed to go on for this long?  And number three, how goddamn stupid doest this superintendent have to be to even use the words “under review” in his shitty attempt at damage control for something that should have been obliterated from the national landscape a very long time ago?  Both the white and black members of the school board (of which there are 2) should be fired for being too stupid to be on a school board.  Stupidity is one thing.  Stupidity in a position of power is another.

This is quite cool since it tackles something I always thought should have been done a long time ago.  The entries range from the civil-rights-oriented to thinking differently to the women’s movement to tackling the almost futile goal of bipartisanship.

Some serious creative thinking went into these entries.  For example, besides color and design, there considerations of breaking the rule that only the famous and known can have their faces on the front of a bill, and also some great ideas for making the user experience of counting and using money easier.

This stupid.

At one point, a portion of the crowd menacingly surrounded two Egyptian men who were speaking Arabic and were thought to be Muslims.

“Go home,” several shouted from the crowd.

“Get out,” others shouted.

In fact, the two men – Joseph Nassralla and Karam El Masry — were not Muslims at all. They turned out to be Egyptian Coptic Christians who work for a California-based Christian satellite TV station called “The Way.” Both said they had come to protest the mosque.

“I’m a Christian,” Nassralla shouted to the crowd, his eyes bulging and beads of sweat rolling down his face.

But it was no use. The protesters had become so angry at what they thought were Muslims that New York City police officers had to rush in and pull Nassralla and El Masry to safety.

“I flew nine hours in an airplane to come here,” a frustrated Nassralla said afterward.

The incident underscores how contentious — and, perhaps, how irrational — the debate over the mosque has become.

And this is where the American press displays how utterly castrated it really is.  Perhaps irrational????  An angry mob potentially going violent on two men who were protesting the same thing the angry mob was protesting IS irrational.

And lest you think that this was an isolated incident, it happened more than once.

The man mistaken as a muslim and assaulted by this jolly group of idiots is actually a carpenter who works at Ground Zero.  Nice, huh?

I love my country, but there are times when I think the collective population of this nation is a bunch of fucking cro-mags, or at least that the stupid of this nation have finally outnumbered those with all synapses firing.  Freedom of speech is something that I will defend until my dying day, but when the mob abandons all semblance of thought and is absolved for it in the name of some twisted, perverted brand of patriotism… a word that at this point I don’t even think it’s possible to define it anymore… and the only consequence for their actions is positive press from some jingoistic conservaneocon talking head who will reap enormous ratings from giving these idiots faux credibility to accessorize their faux patriotism, then this country is circling the drain in a downward spiraling vortex of failure.

We truly are living in a bizarro world.  If the socially retarded monsters on Jersey Shore aren’t proof enough that all you need to do to succeed anymore is to fail upward, just take a look everywhere else.  Being a bad CEO gets you a golden parachute.  Failing companies get billions in bailout money from both political parties.  Shitty politicians get millions on the lecture circuit.  Presidents who can’t pronounce the world noo-klee-ər, completely trash the economy, and violate every tenet of the republican platform get elected to two terms… by republicans.  Defaulting on your mortgage is considered the smart financial move.  Racism, jingoism, ignorance and stupidity are considered patriotic.  Education, literacy, critical thinking skills, and the general accumulation of historical knowledge for the purpose of actually learning from it is considered suspect.  And apparently now, we’ve taken the full 180 degree u-turn back to the 1860’s… hell, the 1960’s… with brown skin being considered not just a second-class citizen, but the enemy.

Since the statements of the founding fathers and any President worth his salt are the fodder for political perversion by every shiny candidate paraded in front of a camera, I’m going to do something refreshing and invoke an oft forgotten quote from Abraham Lincoln, and… hold onto your hats folks… use it in its proper context.

“As a nation, we began by declaring that ‘all men are created equal.  We now practically read it as ‘all men are created equal except negroes.’

When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read ‘All men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.’

When it comes to this, I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty – to Russia for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”

- Abraham Lincoln, 1855

A: Have a knee-jerk reaction to a selectively-edited video posted by Andrew Breitbart without fact-checking first.

With the exception of Shirley Sherrod, everybody looks bad in this one.

Breitbart was an idiot before this, but he looks bad for obvious reasons… especially for the “Context is everything” comment.  He did however make the grand leap from idiot to asshole to the tenth power with his apathy about basically attempting to ruin a person’s carreer which was then topped by his idiotic the-farmers-wife-was-planted defense, but now that has to compete with Rush Limbaugh’s Obama-set-up-the-whole-thing theory.  Tom Vilsack looks bad for not at least investigating the position of his employee… twice.  The White House looks bad for backing up Vilsack.  The NAACP looks bad when they tried to claim they were “snookered” when the fact was that they 1) just stupidly forgot that the speech was given at an NAACP event, and 2) that they just decided to not watch the whole speech.  Every media outlet who ran with this looks bad for not fact-checking, but FOX News (and I use that term loosely) sets a new low… well like they have any credibility to begin with… by flat out trying to deny any role whatsoever in inflaming this whole mess.  I think Rachel Maddow summed the whole thing up pretty well.

Racism should not be tolerated.

Stupidity shouldn’t be tolerated either.

A PLANE JUST FOR A DOG!!!  COST TAXPAYERS MILLIONS!!!  DERPITY DERP!!!!

Snopes:  ”Uh, not quite.“

Below is every political ad you have ever seen for every candidate that has ever run for office.

In what bizarro paralell universe does BP deserve an apology for the mess that they created through a combination of negligence, mismanagement and overall apathy?  Apparently, Joe Barton, global warming denier and recipient of oil company largess, thinks they deserve one.

I want to know when the hearings for the animals that swallowed up the oil will start.  The nerve that those brown pelicans and sea turtles stealing the Gulf’s most precious natural resource!

BP needs to pay dearly for this.
