A Political Joke (in more ways than one)

Here’s a riddle:
Q: What’s the difference between Ronald Reagan and the modern Republicans?

A: Reagan knew how to work with Democrats.
Courage.

The Racism Scandal That Really Was

Listen to this “man in the street” at today’s Glenn Beck rally in Seattle:
“The race card being played by the left side of the aisle is wrong.”
OK. I suppose to be fair, then, I ought to lead with an ace. The following was sparked by the 9-09-09 edition of this blog:

Hate-mailing Health Ins. VP went to a segregated college in SC

Old habits die hard.

Denny Flahault finally “apologized” to Kiwanis for emailing out the inchoate-with-hate cartoons and mashups that we reported on September 9th (Health Ins. VP sends Obama Hate-mail on Company Account).
Well, sort of.
The local newspaper, the Herald-Times of Bloomington, Indiana published the following story today

Hart Williams Presents, Equinoctial Edition

T’was the night before Solstice
when all through the Malls
Teabaggers were stirring
and scribbling on stalls
While Ma with her crossword
and I with my kat
had just readjusted
to sudden éclat …
And now, the news from Planet Wingnuttia, where the men are precious, the women smell strong, and the children are stridently mediocre:

If the Democrats had any more balls …

Then at least they’d have one.

As I noted, the Washington DC Democrats remain the dominant invertebrate life-form in the district.
Are the media so stooooopid that they don’t recognize a coordinated “hit” on ACORN? ACORN has been the GOP “poster child” (along with George Soros) for virtually ALL of their astroturf projection fantasies since at LEAST [...]

Racists? Us?!? We Ain’t No White Supremacists!

Suggest that there’s the slightest whiff of racism going on here, and they go apoplectic, calling anyone who suggests such a base canard “racist” and worse. Nobody’s yet topped Glenn Beck’s Gold Medal for Chutzpah performance — “Obama is a racist!” — but there’s still plenty of time.

September 11 – Lest We Forget

I’ve had heavy traffic on a post of mine from December of 2008, which, I realize, is an utterly appropriate remembrance of the Anniversary of “Nine-Lebbin.” Therefore, I reprint it here, from December 10, 2008, entitled …
George W. Bush, Agent of al Qaeda
Pearl Harbor day today. (Note: this was begun on December 7).

The Two Lies No Republican Can Live Without

I was up late, and CSPAN played the tape of the oral arguments in the Supreme Court’s campaign finance case — a special hearing,  BEFORE the regular “First Monday in October” beginning of the Court’s session — this year on October 5, preceded by the creepy “Red Mass” at the National Cathedral and around the [...]

Health Ins. VP sends Obama Hate-mail on Company Account

Recently, while working on the insurance rider for a charitable event, officers of a national service organization received the following hate email from a Vice President of their insurance company, from his office in Bloomington, Indiana, on — as you will see — the company account.

Schizoid in Barbieland

Arose early to watch Venus (and Mars) in the dawn sky; took a minute to watch the vomitous “Morning Joe” on MSNBC. Scarborough is quite a bit less obnoxious than he was back in the pre-Iraq-war launch, when he was trying to play Glenn Beck, but that’s only comparing types of fecal matter: it’s still [...]

Riffing on the Microencephalic Right that Writes

Well, the Weekly World News is gone now, replaced by WorldNutDaily. But the premise works so well with Rightie Blogs and their Headlines (the last time that a head is ever used in their composition) that I’m reviving it. So, the first installment in an occasional series: Hart Williams Presents.
