Now is your chance to be a fly on the wall at a GOP convention in Minnesooota!

Meet Lynne Torgerson – she running for Congress as a Rightwing Republican and has about as much use for the Looneytarians as a screen door on a submarine.

The Convention was overrun by Ron Paul Libertarians. More than 2/3 of the delegates were Ron Paul Libertarians. When I mentioned that we were at a Republican Convention, they laughed out loud.

They began the Convention. There was no opening prayer. Not even a mention of it.

There was also no Pledge of Allegiance to the US flag.

Lynne was then an unwilling witness to such atrocities as flag desecration, clowns,  the Un-Pledge of Allegiance, time limits, speech cutting, people who are pro gay rights, and no praying, by gawd!

She was gracious to share this –

I recently read an article in Mother Jones. It reported that the Libertarians did a study and concluded that given its form of government, that the State of New Hampshire would be the easiest State in the Union to take over. Then, 14,000 Libertarians moved to New Hampshire. It appears that a similar strategy is being employed in Minneapolis, and the State of Minnesota.

So, if you see anybody driving along in a Beverly Hillbillies truck reading Ayn Rand, odds are pretty good that they are heading to Minnesooota to just ruin Lynne Torgerson’s life.

By the way, her website is a smorgasbord of hilarity.

Thanks to MaryK for the heads-up.

Apparently the State House in Colorado got a testy yesterday as Republicans tried to kill a civil unions bill the Democrats wanted passed. The Speaker of the Colorado House gathered up his ball and walked out.

Frank McNulty, a Republican from Highlands Ranch, walked out of the House at roughly 9 p.m. and stayed away for more than two hours, letting a recess run all the while and killing the civil unions bill and nearly 40 other bills in the process.

Democrats had been accusing Republicans playing of stalling games.  All the parliamentary sideshow was fun to watch but the Irony Ire Award goes to this statement –

Republicans had been denying for hours that they were filibustering …

For hours?  Really?

The best way to prove you’re not filibustering?  Uh, shut the hell up.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads-up.

Sometimes a perfectly proper defense is “he needed hitting.”

A Chippewa Falls man who repeatedly tried to block his estranged wife from driving to the polls Tuesday was hospitalized with head, neck and back injuries when she struck him with her sport utility vehicle.

Jeffrey Radle, a Gov. Scott Walker supporter, was on foot.

Amanda Radle, a recall proponent, was in a Dodge Durango.

The pair had been arguing early Tuesday afternoon over who she was going to vote for in the gubernatorial recall election primary, said Chippewa Falls Police Chief Wendy L. Stelter.

Jeffrey, here’s the First Rule of Life: Do not get in front of a mad woman driving a SUV. The second rule?  Tell your brother to shut the hell up because there are a whole lot of pissed-off women driving SUV’s.

“These crazy liberal nuts are always pulling this crap,” said Radle’s brother, Mike Radle, describing himself and his brother as firm supporters of Walker, the subject of the recall.

The Radle brother just might as well paint a target on their butts on election day.

Thanks to Gidget for the heads-up.

TexasEllen’s grandson’s ride —

Cool wheels, huh?

Thank you, Mr. President.

Obama: Same-sex couples should have right to marry

President Barack Obama said in an interview with ABC that “it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.”

You did this at a time when you had nothing to gain.  Gays were going to vote for you anyway.  You did it because it was the right thing to do.  Your decision shows courage and leadership.

You not only have my vote, sir, you have my respect.

Thank you.
