So not kidding.

Discuss.

***Update***

This seems like a good time to add a new tag but an old phrase for the blog: malkinfreude. Also added to the lexicon. Killed the lexicon; see above.

Here:

You can tell that these are just calm, but passionate, supporters of limited government.

Velociraptors climbed trees, presumably to ambush prey by pouncing on their heads. Oy.

Speaking of.

This is a pretty potent combination of chutzpah and nonsense:

Obama, though, has shown some willingness to budge on the inclusion of a government-run insurance plan. But Republicans like Alexander are expressing concern that Democrats will ultimately throw up their hands in the effort to seek a bipartisan compromise and tap their majorities.

“Thumbing their nose at the American people by ramming through a partisan bill would be the same thing as going to war without asking Congress’ permission,” he said. “You might technically be able to do it, but you’d pay a terrible price in the next election.”

Let’s see if we can all follow along at home. According to Lamar Alexander, if both houses of Congress, filled with Representatives and Senators elected by the people, pass a bill and the President, also elected by the people in a landslide, then signs it, it is exactly the same as if both houses have no say whatsoever. Also, one is a war. The other is a health care bill. Additionally, even his follow-up is nonsense, because the Republicans GAINED seats in 2004.

I know it is hard to keep up with all of the nonsense, but at what point are journalists going to look at one of these clowns when they say something like this and ask them, point blank- “What the fuck are you talking about?”

Now of course, this was on Fox News, so of course no one would challenge him there. But they say shit like this all the time and John King and the rest of these idiots treat them like they are serious.

I just can’t keep up with all the nonsense and bullshit they peddle.

I really respect the fact that Henke and now Ruffini are trying to do some push back against the whole birther movement and WND, but at the same time, all I can think is “Way to get out in front of things!” The birther thing has been going on for what? A year? A year and a half? Two years? We’ve had repeated posts here about the WingNut Daily billboard project from as far back as May. This isn’t a new phenomenon, and even Chris Matthews and the media have been mocking the birthers for months.

If Ruffini and Henke are serious about cleaning up the GOP, how about they take a real stand- say something about this:

It boggles my mind that the President talking to schoolkids telling them to set goals and study hard could be controversial. As Steve Benen noted, even Joe Scarborough is wondering where the responsible Republicans are. Sadly, the answer is that there don’t seem to be any.

If this is the #1 priority, things must be going pretty well in Tulsa:

Republican mayoral candidate Anna Falling said Tuesday that putting a Christian creationism display in the Tulsa Zoo is No. 1 in importance among city issues that include violent crime, budget woes and bumpy streets.

“It’s first,” she said to calls of “hallelujah” at a rally outside the zoo. “If we can’t come to the foundation of faith in this community, those other answers will never come. We need to first of all recognize the fact that God needs to be honored in this city.”

Falling, who has founded several Christian nonprofits and is a former city councilor, also said the next mayor needs to appoint people to city boards, authorities and commissions who will “honor God.”

“We will also look for people who want to characterize the origins of both man and animals in a way that honors Judeo-Christian science that proves God as the creator,” she said.

If I were the zoo director, I would meet them halfway and name the next baby chimps/apes/etc. Adam, Eve, Mary and Joseph.

JMart, who is apparently serving as Ben Smith’s stunt double, runs down the list of other things chief birther Orly (Yarly!) Taitz believes in:

There’s a cemetery somewhere in Arizona where they just dug 30,000 fresh graves, which wait now for the revolution.

Baxter International — a major Obama contributor — developed a vaccine for bird flu that actually kills people.

Google Congressman Alcee Hastings and House Bill 684 and you’ll see that they’re planning at least six civilian labor camps.

Google an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about train cars with shackles.

The communist dictator Hugo Chavez way back in 2004 purchased the Sequoia software that runs our voting machines and the mainstream media won’t report any of it — not even Fox because Saudi Arabia bought a percentage of Fox in 2007.

Death panels, socialism, labor camps- we really have let an insane minority take the national dialogue hostage.

This is insane:

Federal regulators accused Maurice R. Greenberg, the former chief executive of the beleaguered American International Group, on Thursday of overseeing deals that fraudulently overstated A.I.G.’s financial position, charges that came after a four-year investigation.

Mr. Greenberg, 84, will pay $15 million to settle the suit, an agreement that was announced simultaneously as the government described the charges against him. A former chief financial officer at A.I.G., Howard I. Smith, will pay $1.5 million to settle similar accusations.

The civil fraud charges predate the recent financial cataclysm at A.I.G., which has received $180 billion in government bailout money and is now 80 percent government-owned. Regulators said the fraud stemmed from fake reinsurance transactions, efforts to mask losses by using offshore shell entities and other transactions that seemed to bolster A.I.G.’s reserves and gains from investment income.

Guys like Greenberg blow through 15 million by lunch. This is the equivalent of making someone sit in the corner for five minutes for confessing to multiple murders. Anyone else remember this:

A homeless man robbed a Louisiana bank and took a $100 bill. After feeling remorseful, he surrendered to police the next day. The judge sentenced him to 15 years in prison.

Roy Brown, 54, robbed the Capital One bank in Shreveport, Louisiana in December 2007. He approached the teller with one of his hands under his jacket and told her that it was a robbery.

Break out the foam fingers, folks! All together now! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Wingnut extraordinaire Doug Ross, the unhinged knucklehead who served as a static display of statistical incompetence as he spent weeks accusing the Obama administration of rescuing only Democratic Chrysler dealerships, is out with another blockbuster, and the usual idiots are linking him, having learned nothing:

Actually, I’ve been leaked details of the plan, and Doug has missed something. The plan is to only euthanize the white folks. Merry Kwanzaa, bitches.

Via Wonkette, “Brave Army Man Sues Nobama to Avoid War”:

U.S. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook filed a request last week in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector with the intent to stall and eventually prevent an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.

In the 20-page document — filed July 8 with the United States District Court, Middle District of Georgia — Cook’s California-based attorney, Orly Taitz, asks the court to consider granting his client’s request based upon Cook’s belief that President Barrack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as commander-in-chief of U.S Armed Forces.

Cook further states he “would be acting in violation of international law by engaging in military actions outside the United States under this President’s command, and that Plaintiff would thus be simultaneously unable to perform his duties in good Rule 65(b) Application for Temporary Restraining Order 22 conscience and yet be simultaneously subjecting himself to possible prosecution as a war criminal by the faithful execution of these duties.”

Not that I blame the man for trying to get out of going to Afghanistan, because that is not a healthful situation by any means, but—asking Orly “Alfa Birfer” Taitz to represent him in court?

And then adding the double-reverse triple-axel moonbat “Any American military action in Afghanistan constitutes a war crime” plea?

It’s as though Major Cook didn’t want anybody to like him anymore!

Meet Ohio Senate candidate Lee Fisher:

I’d like to see the video footage of his political adviser watching this for the first time.

*** Update ***

What band is that in the background? I bet their manager just swallowed a shotgun.

*** Update 2 ***

Apparently this is part of a documentary being filmed by his son, and I am informed in the comments am being disingenuous by not noting that. Personally, I believe the footage speaks for itself.
