I’ve been so hard on the good Governor of Louisiana I almost don’t want to post this.
Go Bobby!

So this is the way the RNC Chairman Michael Steele is going to rebrand the Republican Paryt? By saying MY BAD? LOL
“Tonight, we tell America: we know the past, we know we did wrong. My bad,” said Steele. “But we go forward in appreciation of the values that brought us to this point.”
“My bad” may be hip and all, but…um…

Jonathan Krohn. All you need to know about the Conservative Political Action Conference and the future of both Conservatism and the Republican Party is that the big talk about the event was a prodigy talking point spouting 13 year old will apparently lead them out of the darkness.
This is my favorite part:
“He came up to me, grabbed my hand, and shook it,” said Joe the Plumber. “If I didn’t know any better I would say he was 30 years old. He definitely has a great confidence about him. I enjoyed talking with him…. He’s definitely sharp.”
Shock of all shocks. A 13 year old kid is sharper than Joe the fucking Non-Plumber! I sit here beside myself.
Wurzelbacher? Limbaugh? Jindal? Krohn? Who will lead them?

Tim Russo of BloggerInterrupted does it again. His now world famous Sarah Palin Mob is a blog/YouTube classic and was a 2008 Presidential campaign narrative changer.
This time Tim, whose mastery of giving the opposition enough video rope to hang themselves is unequaled, catches Cleveland’s “Tea Party” protesters in all their glory. They don’t call Barack Obama a terrorist, they call President Barack Obama Un-American. Literally. As in he was not born in this country and is not really the President.
Shit.
You not.
One quick observation here. Aren’t conservatives and Republicans the ones who make fun of protests? I guess times have changed. Funny to hear them yelling the old Howard Beale standby. I wonder if they get the irony in that when they watch Fox News.
Not one person would say their President was even a U.S. citizen. Wow.

The Coen Brothers, directors of one of my favorite movies “The Big Lebowski” direct the following spot for a coalition group of environmental groups called The Reality Campaign. It’s pretty funny and surely embodies the Coen brother wit:
Clean coal. Such a thing?
Update: Check out the behind the scene footage

According to the Pomeroy Daily Sentinel:
“Kasich recently announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination to run for governor in 2010″
Hey, if you can’t trust a news source like the Pomeroy Daily Sentinel, who CAN you trust?

The Dispatch posted a web-only letter today by John Kasich titled Governor’s budget plan will worsen Ohio’s plight.
The letter retardedly attacks Ted Strickland for creating a balanced budget without raising taxes without offering anything substantive in the way of alternatives.
Kasich offers no real solutions, only a few sentences mirroring the standard, out-of-date Republican talking points on the need to “streamline government” and lower taxes on businesses.
That crap may work on Fox news, John, but if you have any intention of not getting blown out of the water next November you’re going to have to do a lot better than that.

What is it about Michael Steele that makes him such a good choice to head up the RNC?
According to John Kasich it’s because Steele is “very articulate and likeable.”
To be fair to John, he was probably comparing Steele to the other black candidate for RNC chairman, Ken Blackwell, who happens to be fairly inarticulate and extremely unlikeable.

Recently the State of Ohio setup a website that allows Ohio’s residents to suggest projects that should be funded by federal stimulus dollars.
A list of over 8000 suggestions received on the site has recently been posted for everyone to review. I haven’t worked my way through the whole list yet, but I have found some pretty interesting stuff in the ones I have reviewed.
A big chunk of the submissions deal with local problems – roads, sewers, etc. Over 80 suggested projects relate specifically to “sludge”. Yuck.
There are also a lot of projects submitted by people who want to start a small business or need help with their existing business.
One guy wants money to build a barn to “house twenty-four bulls who have been approved for semen export to the European Union.” Another guy wants 250K to open an Italian restaurant in Meigs County.
Funding for most of these projects seems pretty unlikely.
But not as unlikely as for the guy (Dennis Gamble from PCC Internet Group) who wants money to help the government weed out the America-hating, millionaire “Moslems” in Dayton who are stealing our tax dollars by getting foodstamps. According to Dennis, these people are “applying for assistance and getting it from the state and federal government and they have millions of dollars in their bank accounts.” Even worse, “a lot of these people in Dayton Ohio are Moslems, they hate the United States and feels this is how they are winning the war against us.”
Speaking of xenophobic asshats, Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones has requested hundreds of thousands of dollars for a helicopter to capture illegal immigrants and a “maxi bus” for transporting them.
And just when I’m about ready to give up on Ohioans and their stupid, racist, immigrant-hating project ideas I get to the absolute best idea I’ve read so far.
This one comes from a guy in Clinton Country who submitted a project titled ‘Professional wrestling Shows’. It goes a little something like this:
To train and display talent of professional wrestlers who have been trained by Ultimate Impact Wrestling trainers. These trainees would be from economically challenged backgrounds and those who have had some criminal backgrounds. By training them we would be rechanneling their lives into an area where they could ultilize physical and mental skills in a positive manner and be recognized for their efforts by working in front of a live crowd. We would each them the necessary skills of partcular holds, wrestling persona, microphone communication. We would need to obtain a building for training and shows as we have currently been using my garage for training and this unheated. We have been successful in training some with troubled backgrounds previously. We also will assist with bookings after training has been completed. This would definitely offer an alternative for younger people, male and female, as an alternative to criminal or mschevious activities. We would be available to anyone outside of Clinton County, Ohio. All persons seeking training must be 18 years of age or older or a parent or legal guardian must sign for them.

I’m really sorry everyone for Brian rudely interrupting Leave Bobby Jindal Alone Week with relevant and meaningful posts. I will try to dissuade such behavior for the remainder of at least today. Thank you for your support!

I thought it was unAmerican and “emboldening the terrorists” to admit that we might not be winning a war?
“When you aren’t winning in this kind of war, you are losing. And, in Afghanistan today, we are not winning,” McCain said in remarks delivered at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think tank.
I guess it’s OK when the President isn’t a Republican.
(OK, with less snark, McCain is right – we sure as hell aren’t “winning” in Afghanistan. Thanks, Dubya and your Iraq War distraction! Hopefully a wind-down in Iraq will mean we can ramp up again in Afghanistan and help get the government in control of their own country there. This is the war we had reason to fight, and the one we should have been focused on all along.)
