News that will drive you to drink
Newticles says that unemployment insurance violates the pursuit of happiness clause in the Declaration of Independence. Wait... what?
- Conspiracies revealed! - The boogeyman of the right, George Soros is manipulating Fox News according to at least one CPAC attendee and her proof is... the poor lib that is paired up against Hannity (who denies being paid by Soros--and we knew she was going to say that)... and, and, and... (Mother Jones)
- Conspiracies (Maybe not Soros) - Infamous turtle impersonator Mitch McConnell offers some criticism of President Carebear: "At a time when nearly 13 million Americans are looking for a job and can't find one, I think the president of the United States has higher priorities than picking on Fox News!" Jeebus, Chinless, if only he was. (Crooks and Liars)
- Only an Expert Can Deal With The Problem - So whenever cable news shows bring up their he-said, she-said journalism, they try to find an expert in the topic, which is exactly why by a 2:1 ratio cable news shows have men talking about contraceptives. My favorite is, of course, old David Gergen talking about fertility when there is not a Michael Phelps in what remains of his tadpoles. (Think Progress)

Like Perfesser Gingrich would know about unemployment BENEFITS or happiness (other than the carnal knowledge kind)?

Newticles has been in the business of saying outrageous nonsensical things since he was in diapers, I suspect.
And, in doing so, he's always captured the imaginations of stupid people who think that's how intelligent people talk. Now is no exception. (As proof, look at just how many dimwitted TV pundits still describe him as an intellectual, or as an "ideas man." Always consider the source.)
He'll be allowed to do this sort of thing until push comes to shove, and the elites and power brokers get together and dump him--yet again--because they know that he has all the popularity with the public of gonorrhea. He's an opening act, there to get the yokels stirred up and ready for the main event. When the automaton is finally programmed not to openly shit on the hoi polloi and it's ready for prime time, the trap door will open up under Newticles, and he'll be gone for another four years, although his hollers may still be faintly heard as he sails down the chute.

"..old David Gergen talking about fertility when there is not a Michael Phelps in what remains of his tadpoles." Made me embarrassed for him, I thought that was hilarious.

I can only conclude that most men are absolutely fascinated with women's ability to create life and thus while they cannot have a uterus, they can do the next best thing -- stick their hands and their heads up there everytime they get a chance and guide and steer that blessed organ, with little concern that there is a person attached to it.
