Cartoon of the Day

The clueless teahadists are out in force this week at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference fantasy fest in D.C. Sadly for them, and good for America, these misdirected boobs are losing steam and plummeting in popularity with the public, which has had 15 months to observe their nuttiness (debt ceiling limit, payroll tax fight, etc.) following the 2010 mid-term elections.

A New Teatard Sweetheart?

It seems that a high percentage of the conservative white male, over-50 political demographic have serious crushes on younger, cerebrally-challenged Barbies with no recognizable qualifications for political office except, um . . .well, you know what the boys like. Most notable example: the Wasilla Wonder Woman, who never met a newspaper she read, but they loved her fitted black leather outfit! Her imitator, Delaware's Christine "No Dildos" O'Donnell didn't fare as well overall, but she nailed down that dirty old man vote.

Coming soon to Washington, D.C. is another up-and-coming teatard star: Representative-elect Kristi "Oh" Noem, who was elected to the at-large Congressional seat in South Dakota. Notable among Oh Noem's achievements are scooping up about $3 million in Federal farm subsidies for a ranch she partially owns, while campaigning loudly for cuts in Federal spending (therefore supporting the "do as I say, not as I do" ethic of teabaggers everywhere). Then there's this from her Wikipedia entry:

"Noem has received more than 20 speeding tickets over the past 21 years. Noem had incurred three stop sign violations, two seat belt violations, no driver's license, six notices for failure to appear in court and two arrest warrants."

Whoa, Ma Barker's got nothing on you, Kristi! But for a teatard, it just shows how silly Gummint rules are meant to be broken, except of course those that benefit you.

Do As We Say, Not As We Do

Have you ever wondered how so many tea baggers can afford the time to travel around the country marching against health insurance reform and a government that lowered their income taxes last year? As the New York Times reports, that's because a large number are unemployed and receiving unemployment benefits, or are retired and living on Social Security and Medicare. Despite the fact that they're on the Government teat, tea baggers want smaller government, and apparently, a return to abusive practices by health insurance companies (among them, dropping coverage for the unemployed).

Well, in the words of the President, we say "go for it." And remember, tea baggers, that it's Rethuglicans like "Jim Beaned" Bunning and Tom "Dr. No" Coburn who are holding up your unemployment benefits which allow you the resources to display your ignorance and hypocrisy at these rallies.
