[caption id="attachment_1325" align="alignleft" width="150" caption=""It's just a flesh wound." I'm not sure if it was Monty Python or an HMO who made that call."][/caption] I think it's time for me to finally weigh in with my expert opinion on the health care issue. I'm comfortable calling myself an expert on the topic because it's evident that a person doesn't need to know anything about the facts of the proposed health care to be considered an authority. And actually, the crazier you sound and the more wildly you distort the facts, the better your ...

This video of Sarah Palin presiding over a turkey pardoning is all over the place today but here it is for anybody who hasn't seen it. Right around the two minute mark, the contrast between Palin's words and the action behind her is priceless. You know the folks at Saturday Night Live are crying over the fact that this video didn't come out before the election. Joe the Turkey Killer is way more entertaining than Joe the Plumber.

I never thought I'd ever take as much of an interest in an election as I did this one and I never imagined that the outcome would move me to tears but I did get a bit misty-eyed last night. First I experienced tears of joy listening to the inspiring acceptance speech of a President-elect I truly believe will improve the quality of life for the majority in this country and will improve our standing on the international stage (fortunately, my curiosity over who was the white guy Oprah was hanging all over prevented me from being a total blubbering idiot). And I was thoroughly warmed to ...

NO on 4. NO NO NO on 8 (don't even come back to my site if you vote "yes"). YES YES YES OMIGOD I'M COMING on Obama. Do it. And get your free cup of coffee from Starbucks on the way home.

As promised in my last post, here are some of the issues surrounding this election that I wanted to discuss: Republicans vs. Democrats- I recently had the epiphany that the Republican party is all very ME, ME, ME oriented. It's all about "what *I* want" or how policies "will affect ME." The Republican stance is that if they don't like something, they don't want anybody else to do it either. I don't think that's a sound attitude for our nation. I don't like abortion (and I'm the first to encourage people to double up on birth control methods to avoid it) ...

Last week was the three year blogiversary of "People are Idiots." Unfortunately, due to the economic crisis, we had to cancel the ticker tape parade that had been planned but in its stead I shredded up five $1 dollar bills and threw them around my room since it was cheaper than actually buying confetti. But rather than focus on the last three years of blogging, I'm finally going to weigh in on the next four years (hopefully, eight years) of our country. I'm not a big fan of politics because I find it all terribly boring except when discussed by John Stewart or Stephen Colbert. However, this time around I actually watched all the debates and since that's about eight hours ...

Forget about race or gender, when this happens we'll know our nation has truly made progress:

Today the Senate voted 87-1 to double the price of the bounty on Osama bin Laden's head to $50 million. That means all but one person on the Senate are under the belief that an extra $25 million might make the difference in finding bin Laden, as if the first $25 million just wasn't enough of an incentive for somebody. Who do they think has information as to his whereabouts? Oprah Winfrey? Forget about the money. I think most people would turn in their own mother just to do an interview with Oprah. Come to think of it, the one holdout probably wanted to triple the bounty. Our country is so screwed.

For months people have been asking me what I would do if the online gaming bill (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006) passed and I said I wasn't going to worry about it until it happened. Well, barring the immediate discovery of naughty emails sent from George Dubya to underage male interns, it's a done deal. So now it's time to worry about it. The fact that it's soon to be law is not a reason I would stop playing Internet poker. There are moral laws then there are the intrusive laws of people with their own agendas. In case there's any question as to which kind the online gaming bill is, let me point out that state-run lotteries and ...

As a big "fuck you, you stupid ignorant fool" to Bush for his stem cell bill veto, I've decided to get pregnant and have an abortion. If anybody knows how I can contact George Clooney for assistance in this important political endeavor, please let me know. Also, if you haven't already seen video of Bush at the G8 summit dinner, it's below. I have absolutely no problem with our president cursing in front of other world leaders- in fact I like it. But you have to wonder about the sort of people Bush has surrounded himself by that apparently nobody has ever had the guts to say to him, "Dude, close your mouth when you eat. You look like a damn ...

A whopping 500,000 people turned out for yesterday's immigration reform protest in Los Angeles, causing major gridlock at freeway offramps as people wondered where else they could get fresh oranges.

Not only do I hate big crowds, I strongly suspect it's all a trap from INS and an enormous net's going to fall from the skyscrapers gathering everybody up. Plus, with everybody protesting, I don't know who would park my car (COME ON! You were all thinking it).

bu'shit (bsht) n. 1.The crap that comes out of our president's mouth. Today in Afghanistan, George Dubya asserted that when it comes to Osama Bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar, "It's not a matter of if they're captured and brought to justice. It's when they're brought to justice." I'm curious what calendar Dubya lives by. My calendar is just an Outlook freebie but according to it, it's been four and a half years since he vowed Bin Laden would be taken "dead or alive." Since then, his "resolve" in finding Bin Laden has mysteriously gone all the way to ...
