The continued insistence from the right that President Obama interfere in the goings-on in Iran presents itself as glaringly obvious.
Republicans want the President to interfere because they know it's the wrong thing to do. Perhaps in their delusional grandeur they believe people will listen to their misguided opinions and act rashly as a consequence.
All in all, it's a transparent and manipulative tactic: Goad people into thinking the President should intervene in Iran so that he looks bad if he doesn't, and appears inept if he does because it's a foolhardy move to begin with.

Desperate Doings
This is utterly ridiculous:
I wanted to avoid all mention of the Letterman-Palin bout because I find her scarily dim and superfluous, but now that the overdone media coverage seems to be over......
I thought the entire Palin debacle with David Letterman was overkill in the first place. It was a simple ploy for media attention by the inept and fumbling governor of Alaska.
Can you imagine if Palin and her trigger-happy running mate McCain had won the election and were now running the country with their overreach and disingenuous ideals? I literally shudder at the nightmare scenario, not just for Americans but for people across the globe.
As for the Olive Garden going along with the idiocy, I was never much interested in their restaurants in the past and have no intention of frequenting them in the future.
One other tickler about this topic that has annoyed me was the assumption by Palin that her family should be treated in the same fashion as President Obama's. She said something along the lines of "if Letterman has spoken about President Obama's daughters the way he spoke about mine, everyone would have been up in arms."
First of all, Sarah Palin is not even the same realm as the President. Despite her celebrity, the woman is of no national importance. What is good for the goose is not good for the gander in this case. There is no comparison, frankly. I don't mean to appear as fanatical as the right wing about this, but in my mind Palin is extraneous.
And her faux outrage is just that – she is looking for opportunities to stay in the public eye and will use her own family to those ends in the process.

Zombie Continuum
My God, don't these people ever get tired of saying no?
As I stated the other day, and I repeat: The time for coddling the right-wing is over, political correctness be damned. Conservatives are in the minority, so let's just shove them aside and get down to work.

When will the Zombies get the message?

Inside the House
This is very cool:
When you click on the various rooms, little windows pop up with real photos or tidbits of information about the specific areas.
Psychotic Pigs
What is wrong with these people?
As comments from the article maintained: "Racism emanates from the Republican party," "the hate just keeps on coming" and "stay classy, Republicans...play to the 20%."
Many members of the GOP are psychotic, racist pigs – or is it the entire lot of them? I'm beginning to wonder.

Attack of the Zombies
Good read from the Daily Beast:
Attack of the Zombie Republicans
The GOP's living dead won't stop haunting their party, says lifelong Republican John Batchelor. Now Rush, Newt, and Dick are doing what zombies do best: laying waste to everyone's brains.
Perhaps my favorite words in the article:
I don't know about anyone else, but I rather like the appellation of "Zombies" for the GOP. It's easier and shorter to type than the "Party of No."

More Ill Affects
Speaking of ill effects…
As most of us with a brain know, President Clinton left a budget surplus for Bush. So what happened in the ensuing eight years?
Where on earth do these right-wing yahoos get their facts? It's as if they are in denial that Bush was perhaps the worst president in American history.
In addition, their continued hate, fear mongering and non-action barely conceal a deep-seated bigotry that extends to their overall views about American citizens and President Obama.
The time for coddling the right-wing is over, political correctness be damned. Conservatives are in the minority, so let’s just shove them aside and get down to work.
