More dingbat stupidity

"Lush" Limbaugh, the darling of the ultra dingbats, has once again demonstrated to everyone that he is a world-class asshole!

This fat slob can sit behind his microphone and call someone a "slut" and a "whore", without fear of retribution. The college student he insults has no direct way to defend herself. Freedom of speech is wonderful, but there are time I wish we could temporarily suspend it just long enough for somebody to punch his lights out.

Someone should point out to the Lush that aspirin has another use besides his idea of contraception. If you hold one between your teeth, it is more difficult to make stupid statements. Someone really should explain this to the Lush, although I doubt he could understand it.

Really people, can you believe that some listen to this idiot and truly think they are hearing The Word? That is scary!

Dingbat Instruction Manual

How to shoot yourself in the foot?

Find a loaded pistol;

Aim at your foot;

Pull trigger.

OR there's another way.

Pick a topic of particular interest to women. Hold a Congressional hearing, but don't invite any women to participate or testify. After all, what do women know about women's health problems?

When pinned in a corner, claim the whole affair is (A) just a misunderstanding; (B) a war on religion or (C) a Socialist plot.

The second alternative seems to be less painful, at least in the short run. Only time will tell the ultimate effect, like at election time.

Dingbat stupidity

Now we have another example of total dingbat stupidity. This time it concerns availability (note that word) of contraceptives in hospitals, schools, or whatever operated by the Roman Catholic Church. This one I consider a perfect example of stupidity carried to a very high level.

Rick Santorum, The Gingrich, various Bishops, Arch-bishops, Cardinals, etc. are loudly proclaiming that the Obama administration has declared a WAR AGAINST RELIGION! To hear these people, you would think the Gov is going to tackle, hold down, tie up and force good Catholic women to take contraceptives.

What a total crock of BS! The rules say make it available. If they want to take it, Fine. If not, that's fine also. It's their decision, not the government. I suspect that the higher ups in the Catholic empire just might fear that if these are available, more "good" Catholics just might take advantage of the availability. But, it is their decision.

I am truly amazed how the dingbats have tried to convert this into an "Obama war against religion." It is also amusing to see how pious The Gingrich can be when disclaiming on this subject. When considering his background, it exceedingly difficult to accept any of his pronouncements on religion with a straight face.

Keystone Pipeline

The dingbats are at it again. Apparently in the dingbat world, you can say anything without regard for facts. This often leads to some really stupid pronouncements carried on national media.

One of the dingbat poobahs, speaking on national television, stated that the Keystone Pipeline was absolutely necessary to reduce our dependence on "foreign oil." Looks like this particular politician is a spokesman for the "awl bidness" as they say in Texas. But I have to wonder what rock he lives under.?

This pipeline is designed to carry sour crude, extracted from Alberta tar sand, to refineries in the Houston area. Last time I checked the atlas, Alberta is in Canada and Canada is not in the United States. Ipso facto, this will be "foreign oil."

This pipeline is designed to cross the Ogallala Aquifer, the major source for water in the central US. A bad leak in that area would prove disastrous.

Those target refineries are clustered in the Houston area. That makes it very convenient for a major hurricane, or terrorist action to take them all out. For what this pipeline is going to cost, it seems to me that it would be cheaper to build a new refinery in Wyoming.

As for the claim that no tax payer money will be involved, if you believe that, I have some Las Vegas real estate and some Nigerian treasury bonds I will sell you at a real good price.

Political polling

To all you pollsters out there busy earning your fees. I have some very important news for you. I'm writing this very slowly, so you can understand it.

You have bombarded me with your poll results, three or four or even more every day. If a candidate so much as hiccups you produce a new poll supposedly explaining how this will affect the voting decision for some obscure section of the electorate.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

So what if your latest poll shows that 3.28% of red-headed step-children registered as independents and living in the three westernmost counties of South Carolina are still undecided?

I DON'T CARE!

I am very patient, and happily willing to wait until election night to find out all these exciting things. So please go someplace else. Maybe in Finland, or China or perhaps in southern Tasmania the natives might be interested in such drivel. So do us all a favor. Go there!

A Travesty

There seems to be a common thread in the news concerning any major university. It goes like this:

University cuts faculty and staff.

Programs eliminated or drastically curtailed.

Tuition increased.

Football coach gets a million dollar raise.

I don't know about you, but it seems to me that there is a major problem here. The regents have collectively lost their ever-loving minds!

Maybe it is time we got our priorities straight.

More Dingbat idiocy

The Head Dingbat has now proposed another example of sheer idiocy. The Gingrich wants Congress (presumably he means the House) to have the power to subpoena so-called "activists" judges to appear before Congress where they would be forced to explain their rulings in certain cases.

I don't know about you but this sounds like a Star Chamber proceeding to me. Somebody needs to take The Gingrich aside and explain to him about the Constitution.

Of course the reasoning behind the judges' rulings are contained in their written opinions. Maybe the Dingbats don't read too well? Maybe they don't understand the legal terminology and want it explained in more simple terms? Maybe they just want more time before the TV cameras?

Such a proposal could have merit, IF it included one other provision. The Federal Courts should have the power to subpoena Congress, or members thereof, to explain why they passed some totally stupid legislation, or why they caved in to pressure from lobbyists, or just why they have failed to perform their elected duties.

Our Constitution provides for three separate but equal branches of government. What is fair for one should be equally fair for another.
