I have a rant boiling up inside me that has more force than a volcano.
First, this visit to Afghanistan....I got a bridge to sell anybody don’t think this is a campaign ploy. All paid for on the taxpayer dime but dear Lord, so okay....WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?
Isn’t there some law somewhere that office holders shall not use the perks of their office to pay for their next election bid? What, you say, yon mealy mouthed Republicans who are part of the problem almost as much as Obama....you say it’s, eh, a bit difficult to enforce.
WELL TAKE THE DAMN THING OFF THE BOOKS!
Take off that bit about the President needing to have the consent of congress for certain appointments because Obama, right in front of every Republican’s cowardly eyes, makes four appoiintments during an alleged congressional recess...so he flips them the bird and they do what you say? Stand back and smile sheepishly you say? The air passes between their legs as there is nothing in between.
While yer at it, clear the books of that bit about the country’s Attorney General being obliged to obey the laws because, again, WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?
A few of them are holding hearings on Fast and Furious but I’ve heard not anything out of Mumbles McConnell or Tears Boehner. Nothing’s being done about those Black Panthers putting a bounty of an American citizen’s life and let’s see, well hey, we got a shipload of Holder “crimes” and yet the Republicans...heh.
So McCain et al, they knew nothing about the Democrats giving everyone with a pulse a mortgage, thereby collapsing the home buyer market....they knew nothing? they shared cloak rooms and sometimes attended the same parties yet not one Democrat told one single Republican about that ongoing interference in America’s mortgage market?
NO WAIT! My bad. I forgot. McCain was busy with that campaign finance reform, him and Feingold wasn’t it? McCain was busy reaching across the aisle and I go to bed every night knowing how safe I am because of McCain’s dedication to that reform legislation and how much of his time it took. It was a matter so very important to the American public after all, no?
So there’s Obama being a jerk, not that there’s nothing new under the sun, using taxpayer dollars to go to Afghanistan and carry on like a wounded mule over his capture of Osama Bin Laden.
WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?
Because having no viable opposition party is every bit as bad as having a flipping-the-bird, ignoring-the-law jerko in the White House.
Here in Oregon all of the local stations are covering the Occutards, I bet Obama wouldn’t be to happy about that:)

Katy Perry does the ‘Part of Me’ Video re: a woman going into the Marines. Does anyone think this is due to pure support for the troops (she did the Diva for the troops shindig with Kathy Griffin, spit). Or do you think it’s part of the push for the next step of women on the front lines re: combat?
Here’s the vid:
Oops, wait a sec, Naomi Wolf wants it boycotted.
Nevermind, she likes ‘em. (ugh, the source)
