Thoughts Out Of Season

It appears to the world that the only way to prosper in the US government is to be third rate, moronic, misogynist not to mention paranoid, avaricious and downright stupid. Look at the events of just the past week or so: A House of Representatives member tries to bolster arguments against abortion by revealing he has seen fetuses as young as 15 weeks performing "purposeful actions"while reviewing the ultrasounds of pregnant women. These purposeful actions? Masturbation! Never in US history has a Farm Bill been voted down. What is a Farm Bill? It's a welfare handout or, if you like, a bribe paid to US farmers to ensure they do what they do: Farm! And why was the bill killed? Because a group of Republican House members tried to include in it a provision to cut $20 billion from the Food Stamp program which helps the poor in getting food to eat. Republicans knew from the start that no Democrat would ever vote for such a provision thus sabotaging the bill from the star...

It's been a busy week tracking the grunts, groans and unintelligible moans of various members and aficionados of the Republican party. There was Texan republican Michael Burgess revealing that he has spent time watching ultrasounds of 15 week fetuses masturbating; there was Glenn Beck praising Eric Snowden who is wanted by the United States for one of the most shocking cases of espionage in the country's history and the defeat of the $500 million dollar Farm Bill which hands out welfare payments to American farmers who then spend a portion of that money to elect legislators who then go and try to take similar payments away from non-farm owners such as senior citizens and single mothers with dependent children. Man this is like watching the worst damned reality show in the world, so bad that you can't wait for the upcoming week's episode to see what absurdities will be perpetrated next.
