News you can use all day

(Petunia and Pals) If it's Thursday, it must be Malkkkin. Today she says that the President is a Child Abuser. No, really.

• Concern Trolling - Prof. Maddow learns us up on how the Wingnuttian Entertainment Complex concern trolls us into outrage: "They’re not trying to explain something, or bring people along to their way of thinking, they’re just doing something to attract attention, and hopefully condemnation and outrage from the mainstream, and particularly from liberals. They want to offend you. They seek to offend you. That is the point.” David Gregory is crossing her name off the guest list even as we speak. (Raw Story)
• The Shaming Continues - Noted (alleged) performance enhancing drugs aficionado and yellow rubber band enthusiast Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his Olympic Medal from the 2000 Australia Games. (TPM)
• Dimwitted theocrat secessionist Governor Rick Perry says that ending gun violence is E-Z: “As a free people, let us choose what kind of people we will be. Laws, the only redoubt of secularism, will not suffice. Let us all return to our places of worship and pray for help. Above all, let us pray for our children.” Which worked so well when he prayed for rain. Maybe if he adds a dance of some sort, or a blood sacrifice to Ba' laal and whatnot? (Raw Story)

Rick Perry, like Sarah Palin, has nothing to say about anything - he's a complete tool (and a stooge too). Who the hell wrote that "redoubt" shit for him (bet he had trouble pronouncing it the first few times) that 90% of his constituency wouldn't understand? What a maroon, what a poltroon, what a loon!

Ive long contended that the rw noise machine doesnt really give two shits about facts or honesty or tone. What they care about, nay, what they crave, is to stick a thumb in the eye of the liebrul community. Thats it. Period. They hate us more than the terrorists. When we react like normal people do, ya know, outraged at some racist homophobic comment made by the right, they high five each other. Its like some kind of kindergarten debate where one side throws poo at the other.
