Georgia GOP candidate: ‘I’d rather see another terrorist attack’ than submit to ‘jack boot’ TSA






Georgia GOP candidate: ‘I’d rather see another terrorist attack’ than submit to ‘jack boot’ TSA

A Georgia Republican candidate said he would rather see another terrorist attack than submit to the “jack boot” thugs in the Transportation Security Administration.



This maroon is the guy/gal in line at the airport who argues with the TSA agent, "Why should I give up my water bottle, I just paid $5 for it." OR "I am a __________ (fill in the blank, in this case a surgeon) and I need my key chain penknife." And then it escalates....international flights are the worst for these types of maroons.

Cheney Chomping At The Bit

Lynne Cheney posed this question about the timing of Monica Lewinsky’s first-person essay in Vanity Fair: Were the Clintons behind this?

“I really wonder if this isn’t an effort on the Clintons’ part to get that story out of the way,” Cheney, wife of former Vice President Dick Cheney, said during a Tuesday night interview on Fox News. “Would Vanity Fair publish anything about Monica Lewinsky that Hillary Clinton didn’t want in Vanity Fair?”

Shortened edition today






NOTICE:

Today is just an itty bitty edition. But I just had to comment on Benghazi Battle updates and Monica Lewinsky. I need rest, and someone to ice me down!


Benghazi!



The real reason for that new GOP Benghazi probe

When he announced the creation of a new select House committee to investigate Benghazi, Speaker John Boehner claimed it was necessary in the wake of the disclosure of a new smoking-gun email that showed new levels of stone-walling from the Obama administration.
But what if the new committee was more a response to a failure on the part of House GOP investigators to find any real smoking gun?


Find me a Republican who isn't fundraising off Benghazi.- LOLGOP


Benghazi








Monica Lewinsky Returns

Monica Lewinsky writes in Vanity Fair for the first time about her affair with President Clinton: “It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress.” She also says: “I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened.”


Monica Lewinsky arrives just in time to remind us Republicans waste millions investigating BS.- LOLGOP

GOP and Democrats Agree On Something. Oy Vay!

A state Senator’s blog post likening the insurance requirement under President Barack Obama’s health care law to the forced deportation of Jews during the Holocaust drew swift condemnation Monday from leaders of both parties in Tennessee.

You Can't Fix Stupid.

An 11-year-old Pennsylvania boy was shot dead over the weekend when his uncle was showing off a number of guns that he thought were unloaded, and pointed one with a laser sight at the child’s forehead.

What Great News! Finally!

The United States offered Tuesday to send a team of experts to Nigeria to help find more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls amid a wave of outrage over their abduction.

US Secretary of State John Kerry made the offer in a phone call to Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan, who welcomed it, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.






What's amazing is that Republicans think Benghazi and Lewinsky are winning issues even after losing elections with both.- LOLGOP






Climate is like the deficit. Republicans will leave it to a Democratic president to clean it up and blame her for not doing it fast enough.- LOLGOP

Body Heat

I am suffering from heat exhaustion. My gringo body can't handle this heat. My doctor suggested that I either get air conditioning or move to the high mountains where it is cooler year round. Yeah, sure. :(
Please check back as I will post as soon as I feel better.
