"Morans"
Tea Party Nation President Judson Phillips
Things start to turn upside-down for poor old President Bush, who isn't having a very merry Christmas at all. In this SuperNews take on "It's a Wonderful Life" the President finds out what life would be like if he had never been born.

Karl Marx didn't come over on the Mayflower. That was Groucho, Harpo and Chico, stowaway in the pickle barrels in "Monkey Business." (And, as a friend pointed out, Zeppo, who founded Led Zeppolinism.)
May you have freedom from want this holiday.
FDR's "FOUR FREEDOMS"
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way---everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants-—everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear-—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor-—anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
OK, Newt. Close your eyes, click your heels together three times, flap your arms and repeat after me; "I think I can soar with the eagles." -- Now jump.

"Trillions of dollars need to be invested in clean technology, and governments need to enact policies that will combat climate change, according to 259 investors from North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America and Africa."
Finally, a subject about which Rush can legitimately claim personal expertise.
"Food insecurity is what causes obesity" because "if you eat too much to deal with your food insecurity, then you get fat"
Hey Rush. What about 'prescription narcotics insecurity?'
My question: Can you convince Creationists or are they forever lost intellectually?
John Shimkus, GOP Rep. Who Denies Climate Change On Religious Grounds, Could Lead House Environmental Policy
What if God created DNA in His image -- not only we humans?
Sen. Mark Warner Equates Liberal Progressives With Tea Party Activists
Attention: Looney Tune right does not = sane, rational left!
Limbaugh says that the GOP shouldn't compromise with Democrats just as U.S. didn't compromise with the defeated Axis powers after WWII.
"Why do we have to set our clocks back on Sunday after we just set the entire country back on Tuesday."
Retro comment, 11/04/10: McDonnell lost in her bid for the US Senate seat from Delaware, Tuesday, but plenty of others who fit this old man's description of her won. Batten down the hatches.
Fox & Friends are offended that people think Stewart and Colbert are real 'newspeople'
"Former Governor Sarah Palin launched a broadside attack on the news media Sunday, charging the industry with wholesale corruption in support of liberals and insisting that a local CBS affiliate was staffed with 'corrupt bastards.'"
