Girlfriend Is In Denial. October 22 2010: Ginni Thomas is asking Anita Hill for an apology for what she did to Ginni's husband Clarence, and Hill should certainly apologize. She had the nerve to remember all of Clarence's suggestive hubba-hubba remarks and his graphic retelling of the plots of various porn films. Even worse than that, she told the Senate Judiciary Committee about it. Not that they wanted to hear her, but -- y'know, there she was ... But most of them paid her little or no mind and voted to clear Thomas for ascension to the highest court in the land -- in Thurgood Marshall's seat, no less. This case proves the old bromide that not all black justices are created equal. Boy howdy. Actually, Anita Hill did absolutely nothing wrong; indeed, she stood up and spoke out when it would have been much, much easier to sit down and shut up. The one who should be apologizing is Ginni Thomas, who not only campaigns vigorously against the Obama regime, but worked for the George W. Bush candidacy while her husband was deciding whether or not Bush should be president. But no, you're right, Ginni. It's not about incompetence, judicial temperament, or a conflict of interest. Every woman in the world would like to get her hands on that fine-lookin' husband of yours. The only thing that keeps us from jumping his bones is all those flying pigs that keep getting in the way.
March 16 2010: Call me Ginni. I am a concerned American citizen from Nebraska, who just happens to be married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. But that is completely irrelevant. I never ever ever ever discuss politics with Clarence. Poor thing, he certainly has enough problems, having to deal with those annoying pinkos, Bader-Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kennedy. Oh, the stories I could tell you, if he ever ever ever shared them with me. But anyway, as I was saying, I am a completely ordinary citizen with no particular political axe to grind, and as such, being so concerned about "President" Obama's radical left agenda and all, I would like to invite you to a Tea Party. We want to restore liberty to this country before it is destroyed by those Socialists, Marxists, Nazis and Fascists in the Obama White House. As an ordinary, everyday American and patriot, I believe passionately in liberty -- so much so, in fact, that I created Liberty Central. As you can read on our wonderful web page, our organization provides tailored information and inspiring activism that brings people together to protect our country's core founding principles (specifically capitalism, as endorsed by Jesus). It was in my role as a normal concerned American and a proud Nebraskan that I worked with the Heritage Foundation to recruit staff for the George W. Bush administration in 2000. Back then, there was no way for me to have known that at that very same time, the Supreme Court was hearing the case of Bush v. Gore and ended up deciding that just this once they would throw the election to Mr. Bush. When I heard about that, much later, oh how I laughed and laughed! I was working for the Bush White House just as my beloved hubby was deciding for the Bush White House. What a coinkydink! Oh, but I keep forgetting my original point, don't I? I want to invite you to my tea party. It will be so very much fun! We'll have some Earl Gray and maybe some Orange Pekoe, plus finger sandwiches and these darling little petit-fours. We'll talk about how much we hate universal health care while we paint little Hitler mustaches on pictures of Mr. Obama. Then we'll watch the Glenn Beck program and weep for our country. Join us, won't you? Pinkies up, everyone! |
And now for some psychiatric health care!
American voters wanted (and the economy demanded) health insurance reform. The Democrats, braving stiff and shrill opposition at every turn, managed to pass a weak but important reform bill. Some of the good stuff is just starting to kick in, and the Democrats are running away from it as fast as they can. The Republicans, meanwhile, have called for (1) a complete repeal of health insurance reform, and (2) re-passage of most of the measures of the Democrats’ health insurance reform bill. I haven’t heard a single Democrat call ‘em on that yet. Gosh, I wonder why Congress has a bad reputation …? Bush’s fancy-pants tax cuts for the rich folks have cost this country dearly in jobs and revenue. The Dems want to raise taxes on the rich – and the rich ONLY – a measly 3% (of their income over a quarter million), and the Repubs are squealing like stuck pigs. NO! DON’T raise taxes on the people who won’t even feel it! Hell no you can't! In the next breath they’re screaming about the deficit. Which that painless little 3% would ease significantly -- but apparently it's far preferable to balance the budget on the backs of the poor. It would be so much easier to like the Democrats if they were vertebrates. Confidence. Confidence, confidence: They’ve been bruised and battered and called Marxists and terrorist-lovers so often they can’t pull themselves off the mat and swing back. Congressional Dems seriously need counseling to find out why they just can’t stand up for themselves, even when they’ve got the winning platform. The Republicans need counseling too. But that’s because they’re just freakin’ crazy. |
August 18 2010: Many have wondered why the tea party folks would come out against net neutrality, when so much of their organizing is done on the Interwebs. The answer seemed pretty obvious to us, and we found a spokesperson willing to tell it like it is. |
