Oh, Jeezus Christ, Darrell Issa, Really?

Well, with the shutdown over and the debt-ceiling crisis temporarily avoided until the next hostage-taking opportunity, Darrell Issa can finally get back to doing what the voters elected him to do: making up phony scandals to investigate!

Darrell Issa: Park Service chief should step down

“Three strikes and you should be out,” Issa (R-Calif.) said after a five-hour hearing in which he and other Republicans lambasted park service Director Jonathan Jarvis for closing monuments on the National Mall, as well as the agency’s earlier handling of the sequester and its decision to let Occupy Wall Street protesters camp out on federal land.

Jeezus Christ, Darrell Issa, really? Five fucking hours? You raked this poor guy over the coals for five fucking hours because, um, I don't even know why.

“He blew it on sequestration. He blew it on Occupy, and now he admits he doesn’t even think it was his responsibility to plan to mitigate [the shutdown’s harm].”

Because it isn't! It isn't his responsibility to mitigate the harm done by you and your bugfuck crazy party. It's your responsibility to not cause harm in the first fucking place! You can't intentionally cause harm and then want to fire someone for not sufficiently mitigating it.

But Issa isn’t done yet. He issued a subpoena to Jarvis on Wednesday demanding records including “all documents referring or relating to the National Park Service process for handling proposals for budget modifications related to sequestration.” Additional document requests will be coming later, his staff said.

Really? You're not done grandstanding yet? You gotta make this guy's life even more difficult? Because you don't like the way he handled the problem that you caused?Aren't you busy enough investigating the phony IRS scandal and the made-up Benghazi scandal and the fictitious Fast & Furious scandal? You can't just leave this guy alone? He's not the president, he's not a Congressman, he's basically Leslie Knope on a grander scale. Just leave him alone.

 

In lambasting Jarvis’s handling of the shutdown, Issa cited a column in The Washington Times that quoted an anonymous “angry Park Service ranger” as saying that “we’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can.”

 

Oh, Jeezus Christ, Darrell Issa, really? The propaganda organ of the Unification Church publishes a quote from some anonymous park ranger who, if he exists at all, seems to have an axe to grind and is probably wildly misinformed if he even exists, which he well may not and that's enough evidence of some sort of conspiracy for you to start another time and money-wasting phony investigation? Really?

“If true, and I have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of that quote. . .

Wait. . .  REALLY? You really have no reason. . . REALLY? Some anonymous dude in a shitty right-wing rag of a newspaper, and you have no reason to doubt the truthfulness? REALLY?

If true, and I have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of that quote, it is indeed disgusting and despicable that the park service would do this,” Issa said at the hearing, being held jointly by his committee and natural resources.

Really? As disgusting and despicable as shutting down the federal government because you didn't get your way? As disgusting and despicable as putting nearly a million people out of work, albeit temporarily, because you can't accept that the last election didn't go your way? As disgusting and despicable as shutting down important medical research, WIC, Head Start and Meals on Wheels because you and your party of childish assholes felt like you could extract even more concessions from the White House? Is closing the WWII memorial that despicable? Is that how disgusting it is? Is shutting down a memorial because you and your fellow teabagger morons took away the funding to keep it open as despicable and disgusting as shutting off funding to meals on wheels?Because I'm just trying to get some perspective here on what kind of actions are considered despicable and disgusting.

Stupidest Government Default Quote to date

Of course it's from Louis Gohmert, because of course it fucking is!

(Via Raw Story)

The Young Turks caught up with the Texas Republican on Friday at the Values Voter Summit and asked him if he would vote on any deal to raise the debt ceiling.
“It just depends on what it is,” he replied. “The word ‘deal’ concerns me… if it’s good for America.”


"Would you allow us to default on our debt?” a reporter from The Young Turks wondered.
“No, that would be an impeachable offense by the president,” Gohmert declared.





There just aren't enough faces or palms in the world for Louis Gohmert.

The more I learn about Ted Cruz, the more he creeps me out, Part 2 or 3 or whatever.

Ted Cruz was on the 700 Club the other day, parading his Messiah complex for everyone to admire:


(Via Raw Story)

Cruz on God’s role in the shutdown:

‘His will be done as it will be’

Yeah, because if Ted Cruz is doing something, no matter how stupid or crazy, it's because that's wht God himself wants Ted Cruz to be doing.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said over the weekend that he had prayed to God to guide him in the shutdown fight and was sure that “his will be done as I know it will be.”

 

And I told you to knock this shit off!

 

 

I swear, the more I learn about Ted Cruz, the more this delusional little fucker creeps me out.

This really has got to stop

It's been going on as long as I can remember.



commercials in which human women are somehow attracted to animals.

The Geico pig has had at least two human girlfriends.
















Joe camel always had a beautiful woman hanging around.

The Kia hamsters may not be dating any human women, but human women are supposedly swooning over them.



And it's not just in commercials. Racist misogynist Seth MacFarlane has his dog character Brian date several women.



And why? Any relationship jokes you want to make with Brian and his girlfriend could just as easily be done with Brian and a female dog, although that would give MacFarlane an excuse to make tons of "bitch" jokes, so it's kind of a lose-lose.

It's got to stop. It's gross, it's offensive, it's not cute or funny, it's just got to stop.

What is the message these ads want to send? That using their product will make women throw themselves at you even if you are a loathsome animal? Think about the Geico pig ad. The scenario is that the pig and a human man both have car damage. The pig gets his insurance settled quickly while the human man is stuck on hold. The woman gets so tired of waiting for her human boyfriend that she runs off with a goddamned pig. What kind of a psychotic is this woman supposed to be? She runs off with a pig?

It's got to stop.

Irony dead, Sarah palin violates its corpse

At a veteran's march which Palin and her fellow teabaggers shamelessly co-opted:

"Our vets have proven that they have not been timid, so we will not be timid in calling out any who would use our military, our vets, as pawns in a political game," Palin told the crowd.

Maybe she should have asked, um, the actual veterans?

Apparently, the original organizers of the veterans’ march are displeased with the Tea Party’s co-opting of their protest. On the Million Vet March homepage, the organizers suggest a local organizer invited Tea Party and birther groups against the wishes of the veterans:

The political agenda put forth by a local organizer in Washington DC was not in alignment with our message. We feel disheartened that some would seek to hijack the narrative for political gain. The core principle is about all Americans honoring Veterans in a peaceful and apolitical manner.
