Have I Got A Fish Story To Tell You...

Is anyone biting on Joe's line concerning what he said about Barack Obama during the campaign?



Anyone figure that, as time goes by, Joe's lies will get even bigger? The fish story that will be Joe Lieberman's future campaign:



What would you expect from someone that rode John McCain's whopper express right off the rails...

Holy Cow! I agree with Gingrich...

Candace Gingrich, that is:
Candace Gingrich criticized her half-brother Newt for “being a hater” and for using “LGBT Americans as political weapons to further your ambitions.” Addressing Newt directly on The Huffington Post, Candace — a lesbian herself and an LGBT rights activist — writes:

The truth is that you’re living in a world that no longer exists. I, along with millions of Americans, clearly see the world the way it as — and we embrace what it can be. You, on the other hand, seem incapable of looking for new ideas or moving beyond what worked in the past. […]

This is a movement of the people that you most fear. It’s a movement of progress — and your words on FOX News only show how truly desperate you are to maintain control of a world that is changing before your very eyes.


Newt Gingrich can take his hate somewhere else... Whether we are talking about the hate against Afircan Americans and other minorities, or hating people that just want the right Marriage Equality.

America can do better when it comes equality.
America will do better when it comes to equality.

And if we have to force some of you fringe thinkers to accept that these equal rights are guaranteed under the Constitution... That is an argument we are ready to have any day, any time, anywhere.

Your personal, moral and religious beliefs are not more important than mine. Get over your idiotic selves.

We All Live In A Flying Submarine

This idea is about as surreal as a Beatles movie:
Last spring my dog Shady and I were walking across the bridge over Pleasure House Creek when I heard a disturbance in the water. I looked down and saw a Great Blue Heron breaking the water's surface. The heron flicked the water from its wings, flapped them, and went flying down the creek about two feet above the surface.

Impressive, I thought. Boy, wouldn't the weapons procurement nimrods at the Pentagon like to get their mitts on technology that could do that?

Thus it was that I reacted with both amusement and horror to an email notice I received in October from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) offering federal grant money for "a feasibility study and experiments to prove out the possibility of making an aircraft that can maneuver underwater."

In other words, DARPA wants to pay someone to come up with a phony baloney argument that says it's possible to make a flying submarine.
And Jeff Huber over at Pen and Sword says that DARPA only wants to spend $3,000,000,000.00 to come up with the argument that it can be done...

Kind of sums up this countries priorities under the last 8 years of failed Neoconservative terrorist stewardship. They live in a drug induced fantasy world - their drug of choice is power - of reckless and senseless stupidity with ideas that are aimlessly leading to nowhere. Idiotic ideas that need to be sunk because they will never fly in the real world. Never mind that they are wasting money on a "solution to problem" that doesn't exist...
