Moonhowlings

Jon Stewart has the Cooch’s number.  He also shows clips from the Cycle with Krystal Ball’s commentary.  Meanwhile, Virginia is again the laughing stock of the nation. Stewart says Virginia is for Lovers (of the missionary position).

Fair or not, Bill Maher makes funny fun of libertarians. Casting satire aside, is Maher on to something?

Maher says “the conservatives whose obsessions with Ayn Rand have “ruined” the political philosophy for him.”

According to Huffingtonpost.com:

Once a supporter of Libertarianism and its views on government intervention, Maher explained why he thinks politicians such as Paul Ryan and Rand Paul are “intellectually stuck in their teen years” and have turned a once promising movement into a free market-obsessed, “nanny state”-fearing delusion.

Maher went on to defend his new views on Libertarianism by mocking the party’s tendency to reject government services even when they are arguably very useful:

“To everyone who keeps trying to shame me about abandoning my Libertarian moorings, my message is this: I didn’t go nuts, this movement did. Like when you see a stop light, your reaction should be ‘Great, an easy way to ensure we don’t all crash into each other,’ not, ‘How dare the government tell me when I can and cannot go!”

Maher strongly implies that libertarianism is akin to being in an arrested stage of development

In light of an Iranian nuclear scientist being killed in a car bombing, it seems only right to call attention to Jon Stewart’s dire warning to Iran.  He sternly takes the errant country to Camera 3, Jon’s serious camera.  There, he kicks their booty and warns them of what might be coming down the pike:

Jon tells them to stop pulling on the great Satan’s beard.  Scarey that Rick Santorum just said he hoped we were involved in killing their scientists.  Does anyone thing maybe someone should tell Santorum just to shut up?  Real pro life, Rick.

Will it ever be over?  Pious Bologna!  Newt Gingrich can dish it out, when he plays “Johnny 3-Wives”

Is everyone tired of the debates?  Will they run out of things to talk about?  I have stopped watching and just catch the reruns.

Who is going to come out the winner of all this and will the voters just be totally sick of all of them?

Bear sent this one down from New York. You know, I am so tired of the caucuses, the primaries, and the wannabees. This is a joke!  Warning!  No little ears should be around.

The redneck cred got me.  Actually, I have found Canada to be one of the cleanest countries around. 

So what’s good about Canada and what can we learn from them? 

(and yes, that was put up as a joke.)

Jon Stewart helps Republican primary voters come to grips with what they are about to do and tries to steer them around making this decision.  He tries to convince them that Newt isn’t Reagan.  Newt is what Reagan would have been if he had been plucked out of his home as a babe and raised by cactuses.  Newt Gingrich is NOT the Great Right Hope.

Seriously, when you gross Glenn Beck out, there is no where to go but up.

In many respects, this is old news.  On the other hand, Newt’s  arrogance is like watching a well orchestrated train wreck.  You just cannot turn away.   What is the likelihood Newt will win the party nomination?  If not Newt, then who will carry the standard for the GOP? 

So who won the debate?  Were there winners and losers?  Did Bachmann look presidential?

Every once in a while Jon Stewart agrees with Moonhowlings.  This is one of those times.

What is Lowes’ thinking?  Are they trying to join the New Coke and Netflix tribes?  Bad business decisions are sometimes hard to recover from.  This seems like one that could have easily been avoided.    The push back on this one could get bad.  It might have flown under the radar except for the blatant prejudice and stereotyping. 

They get what they deserve.

Or…who loves Jews more among  our Republican candidates.

Who better to evaluate than Jon Stewart.

So, who won?  Jon has a Yarmulkometer to help keep score with benchmarks like “such a nice bo, calls his mother, a doctor (podiatrist), a real doctor, Mensch, a real Mensch, a super star of David.   But where was Ron Paul. 

Are we going to have to go through all of them?  Oddly enough, the Republicans have skipped the really unbaggaged intelligent ones.  Both Romney, Newt and Jon Huntsman are intelligent and knowledgeable.  However, Newt has so much baggage it will be hard to elect someone so unlikeable. 

Stewart has declared Bachmann, Perry, Gingrich and Cain to be zombies who don’t even know they are dead.  Jack Abramoff has called Newt corrupt.  You know you are bad when that guy thinks you are corrupt.

What does a good little chairman dream about on election eve?  He dreams of getting a brand new puppet! 

He wants to get Petey the Puppet so he can control the Board of Supervisors!    Look out Rural Crescent…

 President Obama has managed to end 2 out of the three wars this week. 

Gaddafi has been killed thus ending our involvement with Libya.  Additionally, President Obama has announced that all Iraqi troops will be home by year’s end. 

Many of the hawks like Lindsay Graham and John McCain have criticized the president for pulling out and leaving the country unprotected.  But was this really Obama’s doing?  According to benchmark records, President Bush signed an agreement with the newly formed Iraqi government to leave all Iraqi territory by December 31, 2011.  Hmmmmm….why is this Obama’s fault?  

 Some might say he was a poor negotiator.  Others might say he honors prior commitments of other presidents. 

One of Stewart’s best skits….

Some of our contributors have sent me a poster for our conservative readers.  I didn’t post it.  It contained a bad word.  [polishing my halo]  However, when they sent it back with the bad word cleared up and a double dog dare, what’s a girl to do?

I hope everyone takes this poster in the spirit it was intended.

Jon Stewart proves there is no hope for the Middle East.  What do you think it will take to bring peace to Palestine and Israel?

Michele Bachmann truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Rarely has a presidential candidate provided us with so much entertainment.

There is no end to putting her foot in her mouth and there is no apology for gaffes or insensitive remarks. 

We will continue to post Bachmannisms from time to time.  Her proclivity towards foot in mouth disease is filling in the gap caused by Jon Stewart’s two week vacation. 

A teacher friend of mind sent this.  I thought it needed a special place on the blog.

Next Season on Survivor

Have you heard about the next planned “Survivor” show?

Mayor Bloomberg (NYC), Kathy Black (NYC Schools’ Chancellor), Governor Walker ( Wis ) , Governor Kasich (Ohio) and Governor Christie (NJ) will be dropped in an elementary school classroom for 1 school year. Each of them will be provided with a copy of his/her school district’s curriculum, and a class of 20-25 students.

Each class will have a minimum of five learning-disabled children, three with A.D.H.D., one gifted child, and two who speak limited English. Three students will be labeled with severe behavior problems.

Each of them must complete lesson plans at least 3 days in advance, with annotations for curriculum objectives and modify, organize, or create their materials accordingly. They will be required to teach students, handle misconduct, implement technology, document attendance, write referrals, correct homework, make bulletin boards, compute grades, complete report cards, document benchmarks, communicate with parents, and arrange parent conferences. They must also stand in their doorway between class changes to monitor the hallways.
