*Slap*! Attention, Sarah Palin. I, Minna Hong (asiangrrlMN) Challenge You to a Duel – Er, a Debate

Posted on March 14, 2012 by | 12 Comments

Shut up, stupid talking lady!

So, apparently, Sarah Palin feels it’s about time for her to be yapping her mouth about whatever.  I try not to pay attention because I feel my BP shoot up and my IQ  plummet every time I hear her talk.  She had been pleasantly missing from the news for the past few months – until the HBO movie came out, the one with the luscious Julianne Moore (which I did not watch because I lived through that shit.  Why would I want to go through it again?).  Then, suddenly, BAM.  Palin was in the news again decrying the movie and saying stupid shit such as the president is black, y’all, er, not American, er, you know what I’m trying to say and wants to take us back to pre-Civil War America.  WTF?

She was rightly mocked for her statements, and as noted by my angry black overlady, #Obama2012 put together an ad using Palin’s words to raise some money.   That was a no-brainer, much like Palin herself, given that Palin practically served herself up on a platter with her inane comments.  By the way, why is this irrelevant jackhole given any airtime at all?  I know, I know, the ratings and the clicks.  Anyway, two-day circus, and scene.

The Wisdom Of Sarah Palin On The Civil War!

Posted on March 9, 2012 by | 14 Comments

If there has ever been a better example of someone being given a national platform who has no business being in the role, it is Sarah Palin. Watch this clip, if you can, or read the partial transcript (after the jump) courtesy of Steve M. at Booman’s Tribune.

Birth control mandate a First Amendment violation? Not so fast.

Posted on February 15, 2012 by | 5 Comments

The Senate will vote on Sen. Roy Blunt’s (R-MO) amendment to repeal the Health and Human Services “birth control mandate.”

The argument against the mandate, as Angry Black Readers by now are no doubt aware, is based on the idea that the mandate violates Constitutionally-guaranteed “religious liberty.” I can’t think of a better way to represent this argument than the way it was recently framed by Sarah Palin:

Truly, it is a war on our religious liberties and that violation of conscience that he would mandate that is un-American because it violates our First Amendment in our Constitution.

Breathtaking. Somewhat unrelated, but if someone with a background in semiotics could parse that quote for me, I’d be very appreciative.

Anyway, I’ve been browsing Supreme Court decisions* on religious liberty and the rule of law, and I thought some of these might be of interest. Interestingly, I found most of these in the citations Justice Antonin Scalia made while writing the majority opinion in Employment Division v. Smith:

No Mas. I Have Reached Peak Sarah Palin, and I Surrender

Posted on June 12, 2011 by | 14 Comments

Back in the last days of the presidential election of aught-eight, John Cole, the proprietor of Balloon Juice, penned a post proposing that we were nearing the end of Peak Wingnut because surely the right would simmah down naow once Obama was elected.  Surely.  He opined:

As I look around the blogosphere, (sic) and view memorandum, it occurred to me that we may have hit and passed Peak Wingnut. Don’t get me wrong, this election is still not over and is by no means in the bag, but as I read things, the hey day (sic) of modern wingnuttia may have passed.

Sure, there is still lots going on – the Obama smears have been fast and furious, and there are lots of current attempts to mainstream nonsense…but it all seems so yesterday. These days, there seem to be more than enough outlets to rebut the bullshit, the media is tired of being treated like morons, and the Democrats for once seem ready and itching for a fight….

…(but) it really does feel like we’ve reached and surpassed Peak Wingnut.

How long did Cole’s theory of Peak Wingnut last? Not even for the duration of the life of that post. He added an update:

Ignore all my questions from above – wingnut is a renewable resource. Peak Wingnut was the shortest lived (sic) “theory” ever.

This was before I even started reading Balloon Juice. The only reason I know about it is because it became an inside joke among Balloon Juice readers. “Have we reached Peak Wingnut yet?” Invariably, someone would ask, “Huh?”, and a link to the aforementioned post would be given as a response. Cole was so sweet and naïve back then!

To the blog’s credit, Tim F wrote a post the very same day (indeed, it’s the very next post) that thoroughly dismantled the idea that we had reached Peak Wingnut.  He rightly predicted the schisms in the left as well as how nutty the right would get.  In fact, he looks goddamn prescient right about now (the funk soul brother.  Sorry.  Those two phrases are inextricably linked in my mind) with all his, “the right hasn’t begun to wingnut yet; the left will fracture” keening.  He was a goddamn Cassandra of his time, and has he been thanked for it?  NO!

Gary Johnson vs. Barack Obama: Great White Libertarian Hope Debates Faux Obama on Faux News

Posted on June 12, 2011 by | 36 Comments

Because Black People are Fungible Tokens

I have to admit to you, my dear Angry Black Readers, that this Weiner business has taken the fire right out of me.  (This is my first blog post in FIVE DAYS!)

While Democrats waste time talking about whether Weiner should resign or go to “Asshat Rehab” or whatthecrapever, there’s a giant misogynist/sexual predator/asshat sitting on the Supreme Court, having a good laugh at the Democrats’ utter stupidity, while his Teabilly wife cackles with glee and collects another Heritage Foundation paycheck.

I’m disgusted.

With every passing day that that Democrats ignore Clarence Thomas’s conflict of interest in favor of yet another round of handwringing over some dude’s penis, the more difficult it becomes for me to view the political landscape as anything but a farce.

And what better example of this political theater of the absurd than a mock debate between Libertarian wet dream, Gary Johnson, and a Barack Obama look-alike?  Because debating a guy who “looks” like Obama is an accurate measure of what it would be like to debate the real “Obama.” You know — because we’re all the same:

Yet more evidence of the embarrassment that is Fox News.

Sarah Gives Us a History Lesson on Paul Revere [Updated!]

The Beastie Boys did a better job…

Sarah Palin was in Boston today, and she said Some More Unintelligible Things, Mowgli-style:

The deadpan look on the the reporter’s face is priceless!  It looks like she’s mind-yelling: “ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!” à la Sam Jackson:

Sarah Palin Visited the "Statute" of Liberty

Posted on June 1, 2011 by | 11 Comments

Brains Wide Shut.

Unless you’ve been trapped under something heavy for the past few days (or are sensible and have given up trying to follow the goings-on of Our Lady of Meese Hunting), you are likely aware that the “Rootin’ Tootin’ I Can See Putin” Sarah Palin Commemorative Family Vacation Slash Bus Tour is underway — and to hilarious effect.

But before we keep on bussin’, y’all, let’s get one thing clear: Sarah Palin is not running for President. I repeat: Sarah Palin is not running for President.

She’s smart enough to know how stupid she is. She’s smart enough to know that Obama would figuratively wipe the debate floor with her ass.

She’s also smart enough to know that she does not have the intellectual wherewithal to spend the time required to be able to answer such hard-hitting questions as: “Which newspapers do you read?”

Teabillies: Taxed Enough Already? Thank Obama for lowering your taxes.

Posted on April 18, 2011 by | 2 Comments

You idiots.

So you know how the Teabillies are some of the most uninformed people in the history of the land, almost exclusively due to the fact they watch solely Fox News, and Fox News is a lying sack of shit?  Well now we have the numbers to prove it.

In the Teabilly mind, the word “tea” stands for Taxed Enough Already. I wonder how much their heads would explode if they found out that Obama has actually reduced taxes more than any other president since Eisenhower  back in 19-reallylongtimeago:
