Republicans have been signaling they may be willing to deal with President Obama. In an even more shocking development, hardcore Republicans are signaling that they may be willing to deal with reality...
Allen West conceded! West announced he won’t contest the outcome, although he said “many questions remain unanswered.” Yes. One of those is “How did a nutcase like Allen West get elected in the first place?” West ran ads showing his opponent’s mug-shot from when he was arrested at age 19 for “disorderly intoxication.” Allen, we would have voted against you if your opponent was still 19... and still intoxicated. I would rather have a drunken teenager representing Florida than Allen West. Pop in any “Girls Gone Wild” video from spring break at Fort Lauderdale, and then pick any person on camera at random, and they would make a better Congressman than Allen West.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio was asked how old he thought the earth was. Marco Rubio has to be careful not to offend the religious nutbag segment of the base. His very existence already offends the racist and anti-immigrant segment of the base. When asked how old the earth is,
Rubio said “I’m not a scientist. I don't think I’m qualified to answer a question like that.” Then you’re not qualified to graduate from the 7th grade, either. You don’t need to be a scientist to answer how old the earth is any more than you need to be a mathematician to answer how much 2 + 2 equals.
If you haven’t heard, Hostess brands, the maker of
Twinkies, may cease to exist. That’s ironic—the Twinkie itself never decays or disappears. If there was a nuclear holocaust that destroyed the rest of the earth, Twinkies would still be here, along with the roaches. And then the roaches would eat the Twinkies… and die.
Hostess is blaming their financial problems on union workers. That makes about as much sense as someone who lives on Twinkies blaming genetics for their diabetes. Twinkie production provides 18,000 jobs. And those are American jobs. I know—a lot of you thought those jobs were done by elves. No, that’s Keebler. Get your labor facts straight!
