Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Rhodes finds real source of CA fires

Fresh from her “drunken stupor”/”walking the dog” wingnut intimidation that wasn’t accident that resulted in her having a few teeth knocked loose from that whacked-out gourd of hers, Air America radio boob Randi Rhodes has discovered just how those wildfires got started in California.  From Ian Schwartz:

Randi Rhodes went on an extremely bizarre rant (even for her standards) during her Air America show this afternoon. Rhodes actually thinks Blackwater played a significant role in the wildfires started by arsonists. Rhodes said she used Google to search for possible reasons why arson was responsible for several fires and Blackwater was the result she yieled. She also came to this conclusion due to the fact that several of Blackwater’s former employees now work for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA). Does the lib talker believe Blackwater and their cohorts in the Schwarzenegger administration intentionally set fire in response to protesters AND to clear more room for their new facilitates in Southern California, thus killing two birds with one stone? “Nobody is saying Blackwater set the fires, that is nobody that doesn’t want their house burned down,” Rhodes said referring to those who protested the company’s westward expansion. Nobody? Read the transcript below the audio to decide for yourself.

I started just doing Google searches to try and figure out. You know, arson, arson, it was like crazy trying to figure out why is that being downplayed? (Because no one other than tinfoil nutters like you is stupid enough to believe that? Just guessin’. – Ed.) Why is that, you know, just a small part of the story? And you know, every time I look for it what comes up, believe it or not, is that Blackwater wants to move to San Diego and build this giant complex in San Diego right where most of the evacuations are taking place and you know. You just know wherever there is fire, this administration will be out there doing what it does best and that is fanning the flames, you know. It just spooks me, I can’t explain to you how creepy this whole thing is that you know, you’ve got these fires. Some of them are thought to be the work of arsonists and in the same breath you’ve got a community that’s on fire that just recently protested Blackwater West. Just recently said no to Blackwater and apparently you don’t do that. I mean, I don’t even know what to think. You know, nobody is saying Blackwater set the fires, that is nobody that doesn’t want their house burned down. Nobody is saying that, but it is all so bizarre that this is America and you have to sort of sit there and wonder … arson, same place Blackwater West wants to be, people protesting. And then you find out that some of the guys that used to work for Blackwater are now in Schwarzenegger’s administration. It’s all so creepy.

Not nearly as creepy as this feeble-minded wench having a mouthpiece for a couple of listeners to hear.  As Allah puts it:

The conspiracy theorist mindset laid bare: identify your enemy, identify some newsworthy misfortune, then connect the two in any way you can. 

To summarize:  It actually wasn’t Bushcheney McRummyburton punishing the Left Coast voters with hellfire and brimstone for rejecting him in 2000 and 2004!  Nope, it was that leftist boogeyman that is quickly catching up to Halliburton on the “rightwing corporations leftards fear will take over America and drink our children’s plasma through crazy straws”, AKA Blackwater.

I would say that moonbattery pays the bills for her, but considering that Air America went bankrupt, I don’t think that’s the case.

Dems break campaign promise, start slacking off the workweek

Ah, yes…the most ethical and hard-working Congress evah!  From the NYT:

Shortly after winning a majority last year, Democrats triumphantly declared that they would put Congress back to work, promising an “end to the two-day workweek.” And indeed, the House has clocked more time in Washington this year than in any other session since 1995, when Republicans, newly in control, sought to make a similar point.

But 10 months into the session, with their legislative agenda often in gridlock with the Bush administration and a big election year looming, the Democrats are now planning a lighter schedule when the 110th Congress begins its second year in mid-January.

The House majority leader, Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, told fellow Democrats this week that the House would not be in session next year on Fridays, except in June for work on appropriations bills.

Explaining that decision to reporters, Mr. Hoyer said, “I do intend to have more time for members to work in their districts and to be close to their families.”

His comments drew snickers from Republicans, who are quite happy to share their view that the American people did not get much value for all the extra time lawmakers spent in Washington.

“Is this a reward for our accomplishments in 2007?” asked Representative Roy Blunt of Missouri, the Republican whip.

It’s a good thing we got rid of those lazy #ss Republicans, and replaced them with lazy #ss Democrats!  Can’t get anything done, so why bother trying, right?

Get this:

“Unlike Congress, the American people do not mistake motion for progress,” said Representative Thaddeus G. McCotter, Republican of Michigan. “They want results. And given the approval ratings, they are certainly convinced they aren’t getting them.”

Mr. McCotter said changing the schedule was an example of Democrats’ breaking promises. “They said ‘five-day weeks,’ ” he said. And he scoffed at the notion that Mr. Hoyer was also responding to Republicans who wanted more time in their home districts.

“I wish he had that much concern and was as responsive to Republicans’ calls for input on major legislation,” Mr. McCotter said.

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Democrat of Florida, said the Democrats had to put in the hours to make up for Republican failings last year. “There was so much left undone by the 12 years of Republican control of the Congress, it was absolutely essential that we put our nose to the grindstone,” she said.

So the Republicans failed so badly last year, that the Dems needed to put in extra time…which naturally means that they’re going to put in the needed time by working less!  I’m going to try that line on my boss, and see how that works.  Wish me luck, my friends!
