Well, it’s not like he’s keeping score, you know.

Thanks to Jan for the heads up.

As proof that John Boehner and his staff have gone mentally missing, there’s this evidence crater.

Once President Obama announced his invitation to congressional leaders to come to the White House tomorrow to have a discussion about (1) reopening the government, and (2) raising the debt ceiling, there comes this from Brendan Buck, Boehner’s spokesman.

“We’re pleased the president finally recognizes that his refusal to negotiate is indefensible,” Buck said. “It’s unclear why we’d be having this meeting if it’s not meant to be a start to serious talks between the two parties.”

Holy crap.  Holy giant crap.  These people are delusional.  Maybe he’s having the meeting to whip some GOP butts or to make Boehner cry.

I’d rather try to dig a ditch in the ocean than understand why Boehner’s office thinks NOW is the time to get prissy.  The invitation says congressional “leaders.”  In what possible world can John Boehner be considered a leader right now?  I think they’ll probably send Ted Cruz with Boehner’s winkie in his pocket.

Just when you think you’ve had plenty of Rick Perry yeehaw, he opens his mouth and words tumble out ll willy-nilly.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) ratcheted up the condemnation on Tuesday. Implementation of the 2010 health care law, Perry said, actually amounts to a “criminal act.”

A criminal act, huh?  Geeezzz … maybe you should tell the Supreme Court that.

I swear he’s as cocky bold as a blind burglar.

So, if it’s a criminal act, what’s the punishment for signing up – health care?

I think Rick needs to go back to apologizing for his wife.

He’s set up rules that make it harder than measuring water with a tea strainer just to sign up for the ACA, and just in case we accidentally meet all his rules, he’s gonna make John Dillinger out of us all?

Hush, Rick.  You’re an idiot.

And I’m here to tell you about a fun one.

Dean Chambers, who claimed that Nate Silver had skewed his poll numbers and only Chambers had the correct poll numbers showing a large win for Romney, has an announcement.

Barack Obama is “actually” gay.

“I do believe that Barack Obama is in fact our first gay president,” he wrote. “But I believe this for entirely different reasons. I believe the man actually is gay. Don’t tell me his marriage to Michelle and having two children disproves that he’s gay.”

In the article, Chambers cites various conspiracy theories claiming to show Barack Obama’s closeted life in Chicago as a state senator. He takes it even a step further, however, in defending Obama’s Christian faith by arguing that people of Muslim faith “are known to stone someone for being gay.”

So he’s not only gay, he’s hiding it because he’s Muslim.

Hey, that makes sense.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

Now who’s in charge of death panels, Caribou Barbie?

At the National Institutes of Health, nearly three-quarters of the staff was furloughed. One result: director Francis Collins said about 200 patients who otherwise would be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center into clinical trials each week will be turned away. This includes about 30 children, most of them cancer patients, he said.

Maybe Ted would be willing to go explain his power play to those kids.

Thanks to Barb for the bad news.

Oops?

Remember when Anita Perry, wife of Rick Perry, said she thinks abortion is a woman’s choice?

“That could be a woman’s right, just like it’s a man’s right if he wants to have some kind of procedure,” Perry was quoted as telling editor-in-chief Evan Smith.

According to her husband, who is an expert in this kind of thing, says she “misspoke.”

Now, I watched that interview and Evan Smith asked her three times if she was sure about what she was saying.  She assured him that she was.

So …. she was either drunk, dopey, or like her husband, couldn’t make it to three.
