Kentucky: Glenn Beck

The earth is cooling! Take that Al Gore!

Or..... not.
WASHINGTON — Have you heard that the world is now cooling instead of warming? You may have seen some news reports on the Internet or heard about it from a provocative new book.

Only one problem: It's not true, according to an analysis of the numbers done by several independent statisticians for The Associated Press.

The case that the Earth might be cooling partly stems from recent weather. Last year was cooler than previous years. It's been a while since the super-hot years of 1998 and 2005. So is this a longer climate trend or just weather's normal ups and downs?

In a blind test, the AP gave temperature data to four independent statisticians and asked them to look for trends, without telling them what the numbers represented.

Michael Steele sends a letter and survey to 6th District Republicans

Michael "Ballin" Steele sent out a letter last week to select bigshot Republicans in the 6th Congressional District, to give his boyz a "shout out". Proper.

But what's truly alarming is that this letter included something that Glenn Beck and Michele Bachmann have been warning us about: a self-described "Census". Will Michael Steele use this information to round up those who answer his questions incorrectly and send them to FEMA camps? Would he really do that to his homies? What up?

Anyway, the questions in the "census" were loaded with freedom and liberty. Here are some higlights:

Do you believe the huge, costly Democrat-passed stimulus bill will help or hurt America's economy?

Positive economic growth is just what Obama's Commnist Islamofascists want to happen to America.

Would You Have Done Nothing?

I will tell you right off the bat that I'm even less-inclined to deal with any sexism or victim-blaming in comments than usual. They will absolutely not be tolerated here.

As a feminist, I am inundated with opinions about how American women have it so fucking great and how I should really be concerned with the plight of women elsewhere, as though actively supporting women's rights, in the U.S. and abroad, is something that is finite. I am told by men I love (and by some that I don't) to lighten up and take a joke because Glenn Beck is an unhinged meanie, Ann Coulter is wrong, and, well, just because they said so.

Fear and Laughter at the Rand-y Meet and Greet

Jeebus bless Bob Layton for making it over to Mica's place yesterday for the Rand Paul meet and greet. Bob got a Full Friggin Transcript of the Krazee, so here's a run down of the highlights.

Ran Paul spoke first before the Q and A session, and he started off by quoting Rush. No, not Rush Limbaugh. The band. Rush.

Let me repeat, he started his speech by quoting Rush.
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
“The oaks are just too greedy;
And are grabbing up all the light.

Who will be the next to be lynched?

Doubtful that Bill Sparkman will be the last. From Think Progress:

– One of the paying sponsors of the 9/12 anti-Obama rally in September was the National Association for Rural Landowners, a group that references the incidents at Waco and Ruby Ridge to call for attacks on “government entities” and liberals. In a YouTube video posted in July, the group makes the case for a secession, followed by a violent civil war.

– Calling the government “destructive of our rights,” the founder of the popular conservative website FreeRepublic called for “removing from office the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States and all U.

As I was saying...

Who will be the first Republican to stand up and fully renounce the hateful and idiotic rhetoric of Michelle Bachmann and Glenn Beck? It's time for the party to decide what it wants to stand for.
Bill Sparkman, the 51-year old Census worker who was hanged to death in Kentucky, was found “naked, gagged and had his hands and feet bound with duct tape.” A witness reports Sparkman also “had duct tape over his eyes, and they gagged him with a red rag or something.” The word “fed” was scrawled on his chest in a felt-tip pen, and his “Census ID was found taped to his head and shoulder area.”"Drugs", my ass...

The Teabaggers' first murder victim? In Kentucky?

For the past 9 months, unhinged lunatics like Michelle Bachmann, Glenn Beck, and countless teabaggers have ranted about the "tyranny" of the "fascist" federal government that is going to come into your homes and take away your guns, and then deport you to FEMA internment camps with the help of the communist census workers. We are lead by HITLER. We need to RISE UP. Or the commie-fascist-tyrants will DESTROY AMERICA and it will CEASE TO EXIST.

I have said this for a long time: this movement is NOT just stupid, it is dangerous, it is out of control, and is going to lead to violence.

Commies in the Hall

Those Canadian Pinkos beat Glenn Beck to the punch 15-ish years ago. (h/t Oliver "I <3 the Giants" Willis)

Rap is dead

Blame Glenn Beck.

"We need tanks and hummers, not hybrid cars! We need honest politicians, not communist czars! USA, not the USSR. We need more Ann Coulter and less Bill Maher. [...] I don't need another lecture from the Socialistic hypocrite. Tuesday was your birthday, but where's your birth certificate?"Chuck D just evaporated like one of the Buffy vampires...
