GOP

Rachel Maddow sums it up.

“To most Republican politicians, particularly those competing for the Republican presidential nomination, where only Republican base voters will decide who’s allowed to run, if you have a choice between seeming insane to normal people and seeming righteous to the base, which are you going to pick?” Maddow said.
“There’s an incentive to pick seeming righteous to the base even if it is seeming nutty to everybody else,” she added.

I tried to stop it
But it must be in my blood
The haikus have won

Jade Helm

The "Jade Helm" military exercise to take place in Texas has spawned a new round of wild comments from GOP right wingers. They claim that it may well be a planed invasion of Texas by the military. The governor will be dispatching Texas officers to monitor the exercise.

While this is crazy talk, I must say that the military would probably be an improvement.

To deal with this life
I know what I have to do
Stop these dumb haikus

Climate Change

Climate Change

Many politicians refuse to admit or often comment at all on climate change because "I am not a scientist".

Does the same apply to gravity?
