Today's Jay Smooth

Trying to play catch-up on everything that's been pushed off the radar by all the Kim Davis bullshit.

This is the best line I've found today - talking about putting a woman on the 20-dollar bill:

The dollar is history's measure of the distance between power and virtue.

I'm not down with the Reparations thing - not fully anyway. But I'm willing to say it makes some sense to see what we can do to pump lotsa money into an economy that desperately needs it. So if we can get a giant boost in circulation, and get something of a fix for Slavery, and pull 20 million Americans outa the poverty suck hole - we should prob'ly be talking about it anyway.

Today's Cold Shot

Today's Eternal Sadness

From AP, via HuffPo

OVERGAARD, Ariz. (AP) -- A 23-year-old Phoenix man is in critical condition after shooting himself in the head while trying to show that a handgun could not be fired while he had the safety mechanism engaged.

The Navajo County Sheriff's Office said Christen Reece fired his handgun Wednesday while shooting with six other people outside Overgaard in eastern Arizona.

Friends took Reece to the local fire department, where he was treated before being airlifted to a Scottsdale hospital for surgery.

Mrs Davis Goes To Washington

At this point, Kim Davis has managed to cut thru the information clutter, and she stands at center stage. Which is exactly where she wants to be; which is where all the hypocrites Jeebus warned against want to be.

She's becoming very famous - fame being considered by Display Window Christians to be a preferable substitute for the less-than-satisfying private exaltation promised by their deity.

And since, by now, she's gotten much helpful advice from the bigger TheoCon Franchisers about the best ways to monetize her faith, she's about to take a nice ride on the Wingnut Welfare Train and become a comfortably wealthy woman.

Is anybody willing to bet she hasn't been spending time with a whole squad of Associate Producers from DumFux News, who're either frantically trying to get her ready for her debut with Sean and Greta, or just as frantically trying to push her off towards Bryan Fischer or Pat Robertson?

And BTW, should we not take a minute and talk about Mrs Davis Goes To Washington?

Today In Douchebaggery

Typical O'Reilly - tag BLM as "radical" and then invite the audience to link that little gem to "open season on cops".

From Officer Down Memorial Page:

Killed By Police - 2015

We can slice and dice the data a hundred different ways. But the point is still that way too many people are being killed with guns.

Anyway - seems pretty clear to me that DumFux News is cobbling together the basic elements of their (mis)-Information Campaign for 2016.

So far, I guess we can count on:

Planned Parenthood (cuz god loves babies, and y'all love god, so vote for a Gubmint that guarantees a steady supply of dirt-cheap labor and political scapegoats)
Black Lives Matter (this is the Black Panthers re-branded - gotta have some good old-timey race threat)
Iran (cuz we can't afford to let a buncha ignernt fereigners control a supply of oil that rightly belongs to us; what, you didn't really think your sons and daughters died for a fucking flag, didya? - and also too, Israel Uber Alles! - and also as well as too, we can't afford to let Obama win a big one in Foreign Policy)

Something else that's pretty clear: they won't stop pulling this crap unless it stops working.
