The High Poobahs of the Republican Party, continuing their unceasing efforts to undermine and destroy democracy in America, have deliberately and effectively crippled the Federal Elections Commission as part of their ongoing plan to sabotage effective government.

Michael Jackson And The News: Put A Sock In It! June 28, 2009

How much longer must the country be subjected to the crocodile tears and endless repetitions of trivia and nonsense from Jackson’s life by news entertainers?
Subjecting the nation to endless hours of Jacksonian drivel, day after day, is nothing more than pandering to ratings and sucking up to the one percent of people who worship [...]

Maybe It’s Time To Do Unto Iran… June 28, 2009

Now that the mullah leadership of Iran has revealed its psychotic soul to the world and reveled in the blood of innocents, perhaps it’s time for the United States to rethink its options.
The Lion sees a couple of possibilities.
Given that the mullahship is now likely to feel even more paranoid about the Satans of [...]

Michael Jackson Dead. Farrah Fawcett Dead. News Media Self-Destruct Again. June 26, 2009

Okay, nobody remembers that Farrah Fawcett died yesterday about an hour before Jackson kicked off. Apparently the news media have also forgotten she died, even though they were in the midst of trying to suck ratings from her death.
Now, of course, they’ll try to suck bigger ratings from Jackson’s death. They’ll treat us to days [...]

Another Godly Republican Cheats On His Wife, Weeps In Public, Begs Forgiveness, Models Hypocrisy For Children June 24, 2009

Governor Mark Sanford of South California misled his staff, abandoned his post, ran off to Argentina to be with his lover, and then came back and held, just now, the obligatory God-quoting, weepy press conference claiming how sorry he was about all of it while spouting dime-store philosophy about life.
Is it obligatory for Republicans to [...]

Charles F. Bass, identified in today’s Globe as a ‘former US representative from New Hampshire’, writes a long, pathetic whine, crawling with lies and distortions, about the greatness of the Republican Party and its need to recover its former glory.
Here’s some of it, with snarls provided by The Lion:
Why has the Republican Party let the [...]

Quickies… Iran, Healthcare, Bipartisanship June 21, 2009

Iran
Iran is simple.
The government is a collection of corrupt thugs foisting the worst, medieval parts of a religion on the people as a governing principle. The Supreme Leader is violent, brutal, corrupt. He does not respect intellect, he does not respect liberty, he does not even respect his own religion and laws.
If the [...]

North Korea Not So Crazy After All? June 20, 2009

Michael Parenti has a different take on North Korea over at Common Dreams.
From the conclusion:
After years of encirclement and repeated rebuffs from Washington, years of threat, isolation, and demonization, the Pyongyang leaders are convinced that the best way to resist superpower attack and domination is by developing a nuclear arsenal. It does not really sound [...]

Bush Breaks Silence, Proves He Is Still An Idiot June 18, 2009

The scuzzball just couldn’t keep his mouth shut and fade away into history as the worst piece of mental trash ever to inhabit the Oval Office. After eight years of this arrogant fool, after all the damage he and his cronies and fellow criminals did, he just couldn’t go away gracefully.
No, not George W. Bush. [...]

Grumpy Lion Takes Credit For Ortiz and Iranian Twitterness June 18, 2009

The Lion can now claim credit for a couple of major positive changes in the world.
Recently The Lion viciously and vilely attacked David Ortiz of the Red Sox for taking a thirteen million dollar annual salary and utterly failing to do his job.
Almost immediately thereafter Mr. Ortiz started hitting the baseball again. In real [...]
