"Something Is Wrong In America" by Youtuber "A friend of the people".

"Something is wrong in America and in a government of, by and for the people, we're the only ones who can make it right. I don't know about you but I'm sick of all the wingnuts on TV declaring that healthcare reform is going to kill my grandma, that climate change is a myth, that our president, who's only been in office 9 months, is a socialist and responsible for the last 30 years of Republican misadventures. If you're as sick and tired as I am of the politics in America today, check out this video. There's something we can do, but we're all going to have to stand up and take to the streets and make our voices heard."

This Week In Holy Crimes

The Vatican Meets "Casino Royale" with a Helping of "Dr. Strangelove". I think they need Peter Sellers to star as this priest. From JoeMyGod's weekly series:

This Week's Winner-
Italy: Vatican official Father Cesare Burgazzi was arrested after leading police on a 20-minute high-speed chase after being found "driving slowly" through a red light district known for transsexual prostitutes. Two wrecked police cars and three injured officers later, Burgazzi was taken into custody screaming, "You have no idea who I am. You don't know who you are messing with!" This, after attempting to run the officers down with his car. Burgazzi works at the Vatican State Department and is Master of Ceremonies at St. Peter's Basilica. He claims he thought the police were robbers and denies that they found the front seats of his car in the reclined position. His lawyer said, "My client is not a user of prostitutes or transsexuals - he did not have condoms in his car."

According to johneide, this is my birthday horoscope:

Let the games begin! Libra will try anything once. Twice to make sure. And again to be positive they’re not missing anything. Don’t touch a Libra’s head during oral sex. This may be great for an Aries, but not these guys. Libras absolutely love to give oral. They love getting it, too, but often feel they just don’t get enough of it. Poor things... never you fear, they take care of themselves one way or another. They will buy toys for you to use on them. Librans are mentally oriented creatures who believe that all fantasies should be made into reality. Porn? Bring it on. Food, Sex AND Porn ? Alriiight…. toe sucking? exotic underwear? body oils? ostrich-skin condoms? Librans are the original "try-sexuals". They are heavily exhibitionistic, and know how to playact to the camera (and you !!) for maximum effect. They are rarely clingy, unless they feel they have been led on... now you can watch the manipulative side of the scales swing about to even the score. If a Libran is shagging you, there’s a good reason… you have met their high standards of physical beauty and personality. They hate vulgarity, and despise feeling as if they are on a waiting list to get your attention. This won’t last long, as they have already figured out how to destroy you… sweetly, of course. If you are fucking a Libra, get mirrors. Lots of them. They have more vanity issues than Leos and Geminis combined. Nothing is too kinky for them.

Hmm, maybe life would be more interesting if only I read my horoscope more often?! It's pretty accurate except for that mirror thing at the end... (Worse than a Leo?? AS.IF!)

Helen Thomas Rules

From the blog, Shakesville:

I so want to be Helen Thomas when I grow up:

On Thursday afternoon, Thomas gave a clinic in fortitude to President Obama's spokesman, Robert Gibbs, during the briefing. "Has the president given up on the public option?" she inquired from her front-row-middle seat.

The press secretary laughed at this repetition of a common Thomas inquiry, but this questioner, who has covered every president since Kennedy, wasn't about to be silenced. "I ask it day after day because it has great meaning in this country, and you never answer it," she said.

"Well, I -- I -- I apparently don't answer it to your satisfaction," Gibbs stammered.

"That's right," Thomas snarled.

"I -- I'll -- I'll give you the same answer that I gave you unsatisfactorily for many of those other days," Gibbs offered. "It's what the president believes in --"

"Is he going to fight for it or not?" Thomas snapped.

"We're going to work to get choice and competition into health-care reform" was Gibbs's vague response.

Thomas took that as a no. "You're not going to get it," she advised.

"Then why do you keep asking me?" Gibbs inquired.

"Because I want your conscience to bother you," Thomas replied. The room erupted; Gibbs reddened.

He also responded, "Wow!" Yeah, it's shocking to see a journalist actually care about something other than access, isn't it?! Like, whoa!

By the way, video of the exchange shows that Thomas asked her devastating questions in her usual matter-of-fact and nigh-cheerful demeanor; she neither "snarled" nor "snapped" at Gibbs. But that's what you get when a misogynist asshole covers the news. Perhaps we need to ask the WaPo's ombudsman why they are ignoring obvious evidence that Dana Milbank's sexism is spilling into and compromising the accuracy of his reporting.
