I've got the OFFICIAL theme song for the Mittwit/Medicare Murderer campaign because I am just that good. :D To be sung to the Beverly Hillbillies theme song (and with all apologies to them)...
Well, here's a little story 'bout a guy named Mitt; he went overseas & looked like such a twit. Then one day, Harry Reid got out his axe & began to tease the Mitt about his income tax (Returns, that is...Caymen Islands...0%).
Well, the first thing ya' know, Mittwit haz teh deject & wants very much just to change the subject. The Kochtopus & Sheldon promised coin from zillionaires as long as his VP REALLY murders Medicare (Coupons, that is...austerity...Seamus senior citizens). It's the "RailRoaded by Romney - Ryan Show!"
It's time for "this day in history!" On August 13, 1899, Alfred Hitchcock, the English movie director of suspense film, was born. His "thing" for blondes began on August 14, 1899. ;D In a sad local connection, on this date last year, seven people were killed when a stage collapsed at the Indiana State Fair during a powerful storm just before a concert was to begin.
"Roger Sterling" is 50 today! Seeing him trip out on teh LSD was...well...a trip. ;D Joycelyn Elders is 79 today; she lost her job as Surgeon General in the Clinton Administration for talking about...uh...well...gee...um..."having sex with someone you love" (props to Woody Allen!). Of course, later on, we found out that President Clinton liked to use interns as humidors, so we'll just move right along.
And, talk about great SPARK transitions! ;D Are these bears smarter than the av - er - age bear? I bet the methane content over this place went up exponentially for a number of hours. ;D Finally, if these folk don't care for "foul language," they better make sure their kids don't sign up for my Intro to the Beat Generation class! :D
On with The Rachel Maddow Show...
"Welcome Back, Cutter" - Mittwit made his infamous "Corporations are people, too, my friend" comment in IA around a year ago this week? Yea, he sure picked the perfect running mate for that scenerio. Now, said "running mate" was at the same place in IA that the Mittwit made that statement & apparently had the same success "his boss" had there last year when they began asking when Medicare will be cut. If I didn't think both of them were such pieces of $hit, I'd almost feel sorry for them. Mr. Medicare Murderer is gonna be persona non grata in FL, apparently, too. Gee, I simply cannot imagine why. ;D Some of "the usual suspects" would rather have had Mr. MM at the top of the ticket. Well, wherever he is, the image just won't be complete until there's a pic of him eating a corn dog. :D FL could be a big 'ol question mark for the Railroaded w/Romney - Ryan campaign now. Again, gee, I simply cannot imagine why. MENSA folk are falling all over each other claiming the VP pick is a damn popular one. Well, guess what? The MENSA folk ain't "MENSA folk" for nothing; his choice is getting roundly "What the Spark?!"ed. No amount of PX9 or whatever the spark workout he does is gonna protect him from all the irate folk in all age ranges. A whole mess of Dems are thrilled with the pick, too, but for entirely different reasons! :) The GOBPers who made no bones about not being for Mr. MM's plans to...well...murder Medicare sure have rotten stinky 'ol egg on their face. My feed cut out during the whole "November - January - August" memo. I'm guessing it wasn't about what "color" the MENSA ticket is, yes? Dan Rather's in studio to talk the newly - formed but roundly - ridiculed MENSA 2012 ticket. So, if/when (hopefully when!) this ticket goes down in flames, will Congress have 1 less bat$hit MENSA Congress critter in its ranks? Rep. Kill Medicare As We Know It might have gotten a nod because he's Catholic - to try to get rid of the {insert hushed tone here} Mormon issue among those who think {insert yet another hushed tone here} Mormonism is some crazy cult. This MENSA ticket also has no military nor foreign policy experience. BRILLIANT!
"Congressman Ultrasound" - Rep. Kill Medicare As We Know It also wants to make women die in back alleys for abortions & thinks zygotes are people, too - along with corporations, I guess. He also wants Planned Parenthood defunded, which means he doesn't like all kinds of Mommy parts & especially Mommy parts in women who are poor or who have no health insurance. In other words, he's a member of the "He Man Women Haters Club" of the 21st century. He also wants to make Governor Vaginal Probe's plan the law of the land? OK - only if I get to pick someone to stick a probe up his hind quarters every time HE goes to the doc.
"Elder Hostile" - OK Rachel, we all already know how Rep. End Medicare As We Know It feels about Medicare; he also thinks Social Security is some sort of ponzi scheme & wants to put THAT program into the ash can of history - even though he used those benefits to help get him through school after his father died.
"Elder Hostile Part Deux" - Jared Bernstein gets the lovely duty to put actual numbers & economic nuts & bolts to what "you know who" wants to do to "you know what." Remember, boys & girls, all this cut $$ is going to help the super rich become uber super rich on steroids. And, the resulting deficits...well, we just won't worry about the resulting deficits making the ones during the GWB years look like only the vending machine ate your $1.50.
