Christine O'Donnell is the gift that keeps on giving

Bill Maher showed a clip on his show from his old show Politically Incorrect in which Christine O'Donnell states that she used to dabble in witchcraft and had a date on a bloody satanic alter.  Just when you thought it couldn't get any better it does.  The media has gone absolutely crazy with this story and I think that that may backfire for the Democrats.  If I was Chris Coons I would completely avoid talking about this and just let the media hit on it.  Because if Coons hits her too much people may feel she is being attacked and he may lose support.  I don't think this will ultimately hurt her much but I do think it is hilarious.

Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Rally to Restore Sanity

John Stewart has annouced a rally of his own in contrast to Glenn Beck.  Stewart calls his rally the rally to restore Sanity.  His rally aims at the people who are often to busy to attend all the other protests because they have lives.  He also stated that this rally is aimed at the people who are in the middle, people who can disagree with someone without thinking they are Hitler.  I think this is a fantastic idea.  I also agree that I think whoever screams the loudest gets the attention but those screamers might not represent the vast majority of Americans.  I think this is the exact conversation we need to be having.  I think the political rhetoric has gotten completely out of hand and gets so personal that people on each side don't want to work with the other because who would want to aid Hitler.  Both the right and the left have demonized the last two presidents and made it so personal that we are coming to a point where we are too polarize to tackle the big problems facing this country.  I disagreed with Bush on 98% of what he did, but I think he is a good person who just has a different worldview than me.  I think when we make politics so personal it destroys the democratic process and we need to learn to disagree without being disagreeable.

The Tea Party is secretly ruining the Republican Party to aid Democrats

Christine O'Donnell defeated Mike Castle for the Republican nomination for the Delaware Senate seat.  In a surprise upset virtually unknown tea party candidate comes from nowhere and defeats a longtime Delaware politician who has never lost an election.  O'Donnell win turns this state from a solid Republican win into a solid Democrat win.  O'Donnell has not had very good things come out about her in the course of this campaign and just basically shows anyone can win in a Republican Primary this year.  Her problems were so bad even the NRSC was running against her.  She has been found to have used campaign donations to pay her rent and lied about her college degree.  What she has been most famous for is the fact that she was founded an organization called SALT which promoted abstinentance including barring masturbation.  The republican party has got to find out how to deal with the fact that the fringe of their party is now becoming the mainstream of their party and figure out how they can appeal to moderates and independents with such far right candidates.

Media Becomes absolutely obsessed with Crazy Pastor

The media has become obsessed with this obvious attention whore of a pastor.  The man leads barely a congregation of 50 people but he is being descended upon by not only national press but international press as well.  The simple reason for this is the media and America in general love some crazy.  That is why Britney and Lindsey lead the news and Jersey Shore is number one on TV.  But the difference here is that by paying attention to this man we may be risking the lives of our soldiers and innocent people overseas.  Terry Jones is threatening to burn the Koran which has raised fears that radicals overseas will become enraged and attack our forces.  This is why the media should absolutely ignore him and quit giving him the only thing he was looking for in the first place:attention.  We even hurt the Westboro Baptist Church's feelings because they said that they have burned the Koran before and no one paid attention to them!  We will always have crazy people but to elevate them to national attention only seems to legitimize their beliefs and thats not what we should be doing

Beheadings What beheading?!

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has finally backed off her statement that there are beheadings going on in Arizona due to illegal immigration.  Here is the clip were she originally strongly contends that completely made up idea.



Many people investigated her claim and many medical coroners were asked about the tons of headless bodies and of course their wasn't one strand of evidence to back up her demagoguery.  At the debate the other night her opponent asked her about the headless bodies and she just simply ignored the question.  After the debate a group of reporters asked her about the beheadings and she just stares at them.  They plead with her to answer the question and she again just stares and then says thanks and runs.






But finally she has recanted....well kinda.  She states that IF she said it she misspoke and NEVER meant to infer that that was happening in Arizona.  As you could see from the first clip she was quite clear when the host followed up on the statement that she meant what she said.
