Happy Hump Day | Political and Current News Humor

During the past several weeks, our country has seen a revelation like no other with the Republican Party, especially in the Republican primaries. Each and every debate and hot topic is of a very serious nature, however, sometimes we just need to laugh at the insanity we are witnessing which belongs in our future history books.

The Case of “Republicans v. Women” by Annabel Lee

Annabel Lee of Double Dip Politics has written a most phenomenal article where she loosely portrays herself as an attorney defending American woman. It is an honor to to feature this post as my guest post today – but please, do not stop reading her work here. Go check out Annabel’s site… her writing is impeccable in every area. The content, choice of words and grammar, as well as expressing her views fairly – which is often a very difficult task to accomplish. Personally, I know I go off the deep end from time to time, and I can just hear people’s eyeballs rolling in the heads after I hit “publish.”

The Look on Michele Bachmann’s Face: Priceless

Heeeeeere's Bachmann!

Just the other day, Michele Bachmann was interviewed by CNN’s Candy Crowley. Candy made the fatal mistake of assuming Michele Bachmann could think independently of male Republican propaganda.

“Where are the women,” said Crowley to Bachmann regarding the male-dominated debate on contraception in a TPM post.

Hungry ants clamour to get their hands on a piece of chocolate brownie that had been left on a pile of leaves.
Known in Indonesia as the Rang-Rang, the insect lives in colonies where each
has their own role as either worker, drone or queen.

Republican Ron Hill | “Taliban Rick” Santorum Sinks to New Low in Questioning Obama’s Faith

This is a guest post feature by a Republican Party member, Ron Hill, from his site republicans4freedom. As Ron states, he is “For the rational wing of the Republican party,” and expresses his frustration with the hijacking occurring within his party. Here he expresses many of the same concerns as I do in addition to many other Democrats and Liberals alike for the lack of common sense shown by Santorum. If the GOP as a whole would come to their senses and have the same beliefs as Ron Hill expresses here, then our country would have no choice but to move forward and grow strong once again. I absolutely love his closing sentence and is very refreshing to hear this from a GOP’er. I just subscribed to his site because I already respect what he has to say and am anxious to read more.

Project 365 | 2012

I have decided to do a Project 365 this year.  Well, technically this year it is a Project 366.  What is a Project 365 (aka Photo 365)?  Take one photo a day for a consecutive three hundred and sixty five days of the year.  Many people choose to have a theme or topic, but I have decided to go easy on myself this first year and have no specific topic.

PETA Protests at the Westminster Dog Show 2012

Quite a bit of activity today at the Westminster Dog Show which included more than your usual brushing, blowing, pampering and pooping of the dogs.

First, though, the winner of Best in Show was the Toy Group winner, a Pekingese: Ch Palacegarden Malachy. My house mate, Lyn, was pleased with the decision, and apparently she knows the owner of the Peke. Lyn said the dog was very deserving of the win, and since Lyn is the professional in this household, I will take her word for it. Personally, I thought Malachy looked like an alien. I was rooting for the Dobie. Now, on to the protests, both Dogs against Romney and the PETA women who barged into the show ring with signs….

I am a Forever Dog, Not an Until Dog

Last night when I posted about the protests at the Westminster, I also included the image below which has the blurred out dog in the middle. The original image was not blurred out but featured a cute little puppy. Today, I received an email from a very kind woman, who I will call “Jayne Dough”, who informed me that she originated that graphic by using a photo of a puppy she found on the internet.

Do All Viagra Reps Look Like Retired Strippers?

Yesterday, one of my friends posted this on Facebook: “Do all Viagra reps look like retired strippers, or just the one at my Dr’s office?” I thought she was just posting a one-liner.

I was wrong.

Some Oldies but Goodies | A Rant

Yesterday, a good friend of mine, “B”, basically “had it” after she read an article about the contraception debate, which featured a photo of the panel… all men, in which three are priests. So, “B” ranted on Facebook. I thought it was a great rant, so wanted to share it with everyone. Here we go!

A Hodge Podge of Republican Idiocy

Here are a few various items from the Republican Idocy Tank….

Mitt Romney stupid quotes:

“I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I’ve been a hunter pretty much all my life.” Romney’s campaign later said he’d been hunting twice, once when he was 15, and once in 2006 at a Republican fundraiser.

NJ Gov. Chris Christie Vetoes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

The New Jersey state Assembly passed the same-sex marriage bill yesterday, and today, just as Governor Chris Christie promised, he vetoed it. In the coverage I just watched on World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer, Christie makes these two statements, which made me absolutely livid:

“I believe that the institution of marriage is traditionally known as one man and one woman and should stay that way in New Jersey.”

#ReplaceFilmsTitlesWithVagina

One of the recent hot trends on Twitter now is to replace a word in a film title with vagina and being posted with the hashtag #ReplaceFilmsTitlesWithVagina. How this was started I do not know. There are some I saw that are pretty funny, some lame. Here are a few of the better ones. Can you think of any others?

That is IT! I have HAD it up to my pre-menopausal eyeballs! Ladies, and men who support women and see us as your equals, it is time to get MAD! Or get even MADDER! Time to be vocal, time to stand up for our rights!!! I am going to rant, and I mean rant hard! This may end up being a babble-fest, but damn it, I’ve got to get this off my chest. Or should I say breasts, as I am a woman and freakin’ damn proud of it!

Father of Facebooking Daughter Shoots Laptop with His .45

This is great! This video has gone viral and has been featured on several news programs.  I cannot write the story behind this any better than the father did in the YouTube description, so here it is:

“My daughter thought it would be funny/rebellious/cool to post on her Facebook wall just how upset she was and how unfair her life here is; how we work her too hard with chores, never pay her for chores, and just in general make her life difficult.
