Time for a little fun

The hills are alive with the sound of ... Repugs' heads exploding. Let's enjoy it while it lasts!

I just discovered this duo and they're funnier'n shit!

Doyle & Debbie on the Delbert McClinton Cruise XVII on Jan 8, 2011 on the Holland America Westerdam.

I'm beginning to see why the Fixers like cruising...

Thanks to nashvillehigh.

Many more. You will find them.

Update:

I found this description of what these folks do at ABC's Of Love.

The Doyle and Debbie Show is sublime parody, simultaneously lampooning and idolizing country music's tradition of iconic duos and their subsequent battle of the sexes. Bruce Arntson and Jenny Littleton wield the vocals of vintage country stars and the acting chops of Broadway veterans, taking audiences on a freewheeling joyride through a wickedly funny script and slew of equally hilarious original songs.

The 10 Most Hilariously Unhinged Right-Wing Reactions to the Obamacare Ruling

SO FAR! Heh. Don't miss this!

Alternet, links to strange places at site.

“There are times government has to do things to get what it wants and holds a gun to your head,” Davis said. “I’m saying at some point, we have to ask the question when do we turn that gun around and say no and resist.

When you grow the balls, Sparky.

10. Or Is He?

Unlike most constitutional experts, some conservative bloggers thought that the law was so obviously unconstitutional that something fishy must be going on...

Someone got to Roberts. I bet they got to him and told him he has to vote this way or members of his family – kids, wife, parents, whoever – were going to be killed.

Later this afternoon, it’s going to come out that Roberts was coerced. ... the whole story will come out, Roberts will issue his REAL opinion, and Obama and Axelrod will be taken away in handcuffs.

Hey, one can always hope!

When the Repugs' heads explode, the same stuff comes out like when ya pop a pimple.

And excuuuuuse me for enjoying the shit outta all this. We've had it coming!

This is what really matters ...

SCOTUS Upholds Lying

The Supremes mighta done OK on Obamacare but they bungled this one:

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision Thursday striking down the Stolen Valor Act says the 1st Amendment "protects the speech we detest as well as the speech we embrace," according to Justice Anthony M. Kennedy.

By a 6-3 decision, the high court said the right to lie about medals and military service, while "contemptible" and worthy of outrage and ridicule, is protected by the 1st Amendment.

It is now OK to lie about your service and wear medals you weren't awarded. Then again, if Repugs couldn't lie, they'd have nothing to say.

My personal opinion is that lying should not be "protected speech". Remember that it is against the law for us to lie to government but the government can lie to us all they want.

Then again, look who voted how:

Voting in favor of striking down the law were the Chief Justice John Roberts and associate justices Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Dissenting were Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito.

I hate to say the wingnuts voted my way on this one. Even though my heart tells me the Court was wrong to overturn this act, my head tells me they did the right thing. I'm totally conflicted on this one. Dammit.

It's a good day

Any day that right-wingers' heads explode is a good day, and we've had two this week!

You promised, bitch.

I don't know. I'll just tell you this, if this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented -- I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica.

Like they say in the old country, "Get out!"

Question of the Day

The Rude One off his FB page:

Who will be the first right-winger to call for Justice Roberts to be impeached?

Oh, and by the way ... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update:

TPM:

...

The ruling ends a Quixotic conservative quest to vanquish Obama’s signature achievement by fiat. It also devastates the GOP’s long-standing appeal to voters that the law exists as a monument to liberal overreach in defiance of accepted limits on federal power. That Roberts, a conservative emissary to the Court, voted to uphold is particularly devastating.

...

Update Zwei:

Little Ezra on his FB page:

...

But that’s not, in reality, what this decision means. Rather, the individual mandate, by bringing healthy people into the insurance market and lowering premiums, means health insurance for between 12.5 million and 24 million more Americans than if the mandate was struck down. And as Kennedy said in his dissent that the conservatives on the Court believed the entire law should have been invalidated, it means health insurance for 33 million more Americans than if Kennedy and the conservatives had their way.

...

Heh ...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!1!!!!!eleventy!

Too good:

Field trip! At least three to five NOM/Minnesota 4 Marriage supporters gathered in front of the General Mills headquarters to complain about how their cereal has become too gay. They also brought their General Mills food with them, loaded it into a truck and donated it to a local food bank, so at least some good came out of the situation. At one point, Tom Forsythe of General Mills offered coffee and water to the protesters, but they would not take it because it was gay, threatening to also give that to the poor. That’ll show ‘em.

Fat-Chance-In-A-Republican-Congress Headline of the Day

Bill would make it a crime to knowingly mislead voters about elections

If the Repugs don't cheat, they can't win. I just put this in because it's a nice idea but we'll never hear about it ever again.
