Katie Couric – But are you ready to become the leader of the free world?
Sarah Palin – Totally. I will totally lead the world. Any world. I will lead Mars or whatever too if those guys need a world president. Or just a Mars president. I took on the ole’ boys club in Alaska and I can take it on in Mars.
Katie Couric – But I’m not asking about being president of Mars.
Sarah Palin – But I am answering about being president of Mars because a president person needs to be prepared for anything. I like to reform.
Conservatives don’t deserve respect. They deserve shame and to be loudly and openly mocked in public.

FORK IT! Fine me, tax me, whatever, but I ain’t gonna pay
Crossposted at Daily Kos
No public option, no deal.
I will NOT be forced to buy private insurance from the crooked cartels.
I will NOT allow my wages to be forced into padding some millionaire CEO’s salary.
I will NOT be robbed and told how much my robber is helping me.
This is what I think of your freaking mandates, mister Congresscritter.
Fine me, Tax me, whatever, I don’t give a flying fork, but I ain’t gonna pay, no way, no how.
If you want my money, you can frigging pry it from my cold, dead, uninsured hands.

GOP House Rep thinks Bush might have caused 9/11
Crossposted at Daily Kos
If Republicans and Fox News pundits were embarrassed about looking like birthers, loony bins and white supremacists, well, they just got a whole lot more to worry about.
Recently, a truther organization called “We Are The Change” spoke to Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) – a friend of (Glenn) Beck and a frequent guest on his show – about reopening an investigation into 9/11. Chaffetz agreed with the activist, and even noted that he had spoken to professor Steven Jones, leading 9/11 truther, who Chaffetz said had done “interesting work”
Houston, we have a WTF.

I DEMAND media coverage of America’s wars NOW!
Crossposted at Daily Kos
This will be, in the proper blogotoobz vernacular, a short diary.
Simply put, I DEMAND media coverage of America’s wars NOW!
If these wars are NOT worth media coverage, they are not worth fighting. If the threat America faces from it’s enemies is so great that it is absolutely necessary that we go to war, than it is absolutely necessary that the “free” press gives it ample coverage.
Since the Presidential Primaries back in the Spring of 2008 coverage of America’s wars have almost entirely disappeared from the traditional media. With the exception of a few intrepid journalists the traditional media has given us NOTHING as far as details of what is happening in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan except for the times when Dick Cheney emerges from his crypt, when President Obama sent more troops to Afghanistan, when an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at George Bush’s idiot of a son and when Rudy “9/11,9/11,9/11” shows up to collect his royalty fee.
In short, I want DETAILS, and if you’re not in the mood you better GET IN THE MOOD, Mister.

WOW! Bernie Sanders demands a Revolution! (not what you may think)
Crossposted at Daily Kos
Yes, revolution, but as the title states, it’s not what you may think. In this case, I say Revolution as in drastic change, and when I say change I mean the kind of change you can believe in.
On to the show. So you say you want a Revolution? How about a solar energy revolution?
Thomas Edison, one of history’s greatest inventors said; “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” He was right then, in 1931, and he remains right today. The American people agree. Today, 92 percent of all Americans want our country to develop solar energy resources, and 77 percent believe the federal government should make solar power development a national priority.
– snip
It also would mean the creation of over a million new jobs.

YES! Bernie Sanders to GOP: Spare me the lectures on YOUR deficit
Crossposted at Daily Kos
I’ve got to hand it to Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), he knocks it out of the park on this. Republicans with their phony deficit concerns want to put the blame of their failed Conservative policies on Democrats and President Obama. But the money quote is right here.
“I really don’t like being lectured on deficits when you (Sen. Gregg) and many members of your party (Republicans) helped cause the situation we are in right now.”
~snip~
“Please, please, spare the lectures on deficit reduction.”

Bush and Rove’s Citizens United fueled comeback. I $hit you not
Crossposted at Daily Kos
At least half a dozen leaders of the Republican Party have joined forces to create a new political group with the goal of organizing grass-roots support and raising funds ahead of the 2010 midterm elections, according to people familiar with the effort.The organizational details of the group, expected to be called the American Action Network, are still being worked out, but it is expected to contain both a 501(c)3 and a 501(c)4 component. In simpler terms, a 501(c)3 can advocate on policy matters while a 501(c)4 is an election arm.
Republican leaders expected to be affiliated with the group include former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, former Bush adviser Karl Rove, Republican strategist Ed Gillespie, and Republican donor Fred Malek.
Jeb Bush, George Bush, same difference, same incompetent governing style, failed ideas and Corporatist agenda.

Obama: Congress might screw the pooch on Health Care
Crossposted at Daily Kos
At a DNC fundraiser last night, President Obama had an interesting exchange with a Democratic organizer about health care reform, wherein he appeared to suggest that Congress could drop the ball and fail to pass a bill–and that voters should judge them harshly if they do.
“[I]t may be that — you know, if Congress decides — if Congress decides we’re not going to do it, even after all the facts are laid out, all the options are clear, then the American people can make a judgment as to whether this Congress has done the right thing for them or not,” Obama said.

Obama SLAMS Sen. Lincoln and centrist Dem Senators! About frikkin time
Crossposted at Daily Kos
From today’s meeting between President Obama and Senate Democrats today comes this gem . . . .
“If the price of certainty is essentially for us to adopt the exact same proposals that were in place for eight years leading up to the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression — we don’t tinker with health care, let the insurance companies do what they want, we don’t put in place any insurance reforms, we don’t mess with the banks, let them keep on doing what they’re doing now because we don’t want to stir up Wall Street — the result is going to be the same,” he said. “I don’t know why we would expect a different outcome pursuing the exact same policy that got us into this fix in the first place.”
Middle class Americans, Obama said, “are more and more vulnerable, and they have been for the last decade, treading water. And if our response ends up being, you know, because we don’t want to — we don’t want to stir things up here, we’re just going to do the same thing that was being done before, then I don’t know what differentiates us from the other guys. And I don’t know why people would say, boy, we really want to make sure that those Democrats are in Washington fighting for us.”

President Palin renews and expands enhanced interrogation program
Crossposted at Daily Kos
Jan 30th, 2017
Just days after being inaugaurated as America’s 45th President, Sarah Palin has announced that her administration will renew the enhanced interrogation programs that began after 9/11.
“We take very, very seriously the threat that potential terrorists expose upon our freedoms, so I decided that we shouldn’t take any options off the table. Now every police station in the country will be equipped to interrogate the thousands and thousands of terrorists that are hiding in our country. Until we know how many terrorists there really are in America my baby Trig and the rest of America can never be really safe, doncha know. And we can never really know until we start interrogating random Americans, who should have nothing to fear if they aren’t involved with the terrorists. Also, just think of all the new jobs this will create, since we are gonna need a lot of new police officers to deal with all the new terrorists we have to find. Today is a great day for freedom.” President Palin said with a wink towards the cameras.
