And still they'll keep on supporting him.

It really is like America has elected a comic book villain to their our president.

So where are the heroes to defeat him?

Like a bad case of Herpes, the Cheney family never seems to go away forever.

Liz Cheney is seeking a return to politics with a run for Wyoming’s lone House seat. 

The elder daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney is ready to announce Monday, the Associated Press first reported Saturday. She filed paperwork with the FEC on Friday to make her candidacy official. 

Liz Cheney ran unsuccessfully for a U.S. Senate seat in 2013, but failed to gain traction among Wyoming’s political establishment. 

In her 2013 race Liz Cheney claimed that she dropped out because of "personal reasons." That is code for "I can't get elected."

I wonder what she thinks has changed this time?

You know in the movies the children of Darth Vader turned to doing good in order to make up for their father's evil ways.

Sadly it appears that real life is nothing like the movies.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling says Donald Trump worse than Voldemort.

How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad. https://t.co/hFO0XmOpPH

JK Rowling has branded US presidential candidate Donald Trump 'worse than Voldemort' after he called for Muslims to be banned from entering the US. 

The Harry Potter author made the comments after BBC Newsbeat sent her a link to an article entitled 'This is why people are calling American businessman, Donald Trump, Lord Voldemort'.

Hard to argue with her about this.

After all she knows a little something about evil megalomaniacs. 

I was going to say that Trump is worse because Voldemort is a fictional character ,but then I remembered that in many ways so is Trump.

Stephen Fry on confronting God at the pearly gates.

"It's not right. It's utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean minded, stupid god who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain?"

I love the interviewers face at the end of this response. He looks like he wants to literally crawl away.

I have so much respect for this man. I cannot begin to tell you.

Breitbart freaks out, over the fact that TMZ "freaks out," over Sarah Palin's speeding ticket.

Click one or more chins to play video.

Courtesy of that dead guy's defunct blog: 

Wednesday during TMZ's segment on former Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK) getting a speeding ticket, they thought it would be entertaining television to, without provocation or explanation, have random staffers openly attack the Tea Party firebrand as a "bitch," "dumb," and a "horrible mom." 

TMZ opened the segment by reporting on when Palin was given a speeding ticket in her hometown for driving 63 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone, and she said, "I wasn't speeding I was qualifying." 

But then it quickly turned ugly, when, without justification, the staffers launched into a nasty, random, name-calling attack. One staff member exclaimed out of nowhere, "She's a bitch." Another chimed in, saying, "She's a really bad mom," while another added, "She's a horrible mom." 

A third concluded, "She's not evil. She's too dumb to be good or evil."

You know I listened to the original TMZ report,  and read the transcript, and all I can ask is where did the TMZ crew say anything controversial?

"She's a bitch?" Check, everybody knows that.

"She's a really bad mom?" Seriously, is their ANY doubt?

"She's not evil. She's too dumb to be good or evil." Okay here we might have some point of disagreement.

Is she dumb? Yes.

But is she too dumb to be evil? No, I don't think so.

I think she is just intelligent enough to be evil, while also almost being too dumb to qualify as an actual homo sapien.

And that will be proven by the fact that when she reads that last part she will be convinced that I just called her a lesbian.

Words to live by.

Socrates remains one of my favorite philosophers.

Catholic Bishop performs anti-gay exorcism as a way of showing love to the gays. Boy I'm glad he doesn't love me!

Courtesy of Alternet:  

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, took to LifeSiteNews during last week’s March for Life to defend his recent performance of an anti-gay exorcism. The gay rights foe explained that he performed the “minor exorcism” in order to “renounce Satan and break our relationship with the Devil” and “drive out the Devil from his influence that seems to be pervading our culture.” 

He called the exorcism a “fitting” response his home state’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage, adding that it is appropriate for a time when the “church is under persecution or some opposition, and certainly the redefinition of marriage is very much in opposition to God’s plan for married life.” 

Paprocki said that the exorcism was done out of love for gay people, whom he explained need to be disciplined like children being punished by their parents: “Like any good parent will tell you that sometimes you have to disappoint your child, sometimes you have to say ‘no’ and sometimes you even have to punish them.”

So to be clear, this bishop believes that gay people are possessed by the devil, and need to be punished for being naughty.

Oh yeah, that is definitely the way to reach out to the gay community. 

Now see this is why we cannot have a reasonable conversation with these fundamentalist morons.

They see everything in the world the way that a small child sees the world, separated by good and evil.

You actions are either good, ie sanctioned by religion and the Bible, or evil, ie fun to do and things these hypocrites WISH they had the balls to do.

With that kind of mindset there is no way to have a frank conversation about homosexuality, abortion, premarital sex, evolution, or anything that the two sides disagree about. Because if you disagree with them you are under the influence of Satan.

Yeah that's a conversation stopper right there.

One of my favorite quotes.

Your early morning thought of the day.

I don't usually post quotes from fictional characters, but when I do I go all in for Gandalf.

The more you read it, the more sense it makes.

I don't actually believe in the devil, but if there were one he would look and sound just like this guy.

This program is being broadcast on Showtime, which is one of the few cable channels I don't have.

That might be a good thing since from what I saw in this clip, I am relatively sure I would desperately want to throw bricks at the screen every time Cheney's face appeared.

The man may not be Satan, but he is the next worst thing we currently have living on this planet.

I try not to hate, but in the case of George W. and his Svengali Dick Cheney, I am afraid I fail in that endeavor.

Insanity on Hannity, as the Grizzled Mama returns to the fake backdrop of Wasilla, to cry foul at the "lamestream" media and to defend Santorum's remarks about Satan attacking America.

To play video click fake backdrop.

Essentially Palin performs the same old song and dance that we have all come to expect from her in these bullshit interviews. The only real difference with the newer ones is that she has released her death grip on Newt's...let's say ego, and is now stroking Santorum's with the gusto of a woman desperate to get that number two spot on the GOP ticket again.

(Now let us pause in our critique of this interview to ponder just how happy the Obama campaign would be to learn that the GOP had chosen a Santorum/Palin ticket to go up against them in 2012. You think the President smiles a lot now, just imagine how big his grin would be at that news!)

(Nope, even bigger than that!)

Anyhow back to business.  Like I said this interview follows the same pattern we have seen numerous times before of Hannity asking Palin who she would endorse, or vote for, and Palin dancing around the issue like a stripper with sticky loose change caught up between her g-string and her "lady business."

However there are couple of points worth discussing.

Around the 4:40 mark Hannity asks Palin who she would vote for in Michigan, like somebody actually gave a shit, but her response is kind of intriguing.

"I don't know at this point who I would vote for there in Michigan, I..I do want the process to continue. We know that we had a poor process the last go around, and it's the fault of the media, the leftist mainstream media, that did not vet Barack Obama who then obviously became our president and now we are suffering the negative ramifications of what Barack Obama stands for and, and stood for as a candidate, as he promised to fundamentally transform us and that's exactly what he's doing to the determent to the future of our country."

Now while she focused this criticism of the media to how they covered Obama, I could not help but think, "She's talking about herself."

Which by the way is not uncommon for Palin. If you read past interviews there are a number of times that she points out the shortcomings of others, that are clearly mirror images of her own shortcoming or behaviors.

In this interview I think she is projecting how the media let HER slide by without serious critique (Right up until she shot herself in the foot with her answers to softball questions from Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, and Charlie Gibson), and projecting that onto Obama to help buoy up her revisionist version of history, in which SHE was the one that was poorly treated by the press.

The next part which must be addressed (Around the 10:00 mark) is Palin's response when Hannity brings up Santorum's statement that Satan is actively attacking America through colleges, universities, and the Protestant church. (Of course Hannity conveniently leaves out the part about Protestantism.)

"Yeah Sean but that's foreign to so many in that leftist media that kind of runs the show here, that narrative that they create. They will attack any conservative who boldly proclaims their faith and talks about there is good in the world and there is evil in the world, and that's what Rick Santorum was talking about. And this was a speech that he gave back in 2008, where he named evil as "Satan." and for these lamestream media characters to get all wee wee'd up about that...first you have to ask yourself, have they ever, EVER attended a Sunday School class even? Have they never heard this terminology before? And that's why they just got so you know just..just..so..whacked out about this speech."

Well speaking as one of the so-called "leftists" that the Creature from Lake Lucille is referring to, I would simply explain that, yes I did attend Sunday School, and I did hear about Satan, as well as good and evil.

But a funny thing happened later in my life. I grew up! And while growing up I came to realize that the world is not simply right and wrong, good and evil, or black and white. And somebody who is not intelligent enough to understand that simple reality should NEVER be put in charge of this great country. EVER!

I would also like to point out that Sanrtorum was NOT simply making a childish argument that a magical mythological creature was attacking America, but also that this evil creature was attacking this country through our institutions of higher learning and the Protestant church. You know the one where 51% of ALL Christians attend services.

But of course Palin is going to defend him, because let's face it he's leading.  Well he was, but that was before Palin defended him.
