This is just plain fuckin' genius.
It'd scare fuck-all outa Clarence Thomas, wouldn't it? And it'd keep Senate amoeb-licans busy for months - especially if the White House made a show of bringing somebody in to shepherd the nominee thru the process; somebody like Alan Simpson maybe (not that he'd do it, but fuck me, that'd be fun). There's a knife-fighter out there somewhere looking for his shot at shoving something of substance up a few asses on the hill.
Half of the GOP might actually suspect that Obama's just fuckin' with 'em now and they'd pull back a little, but ya gotta know the others would be happily scrambling to find ways to fuck her over which will let a bunch of them in for a nice little beating come November by providing some extra motivation the Dems can use to drive people out to the polls. They'll need it to overcome the problems caused by voter ID.
Do it.

I Wow, Cruz closes by claiming he's fighting for his little girls' liberties as he promises to abolish abortion. #GOPDebate— The Vagina Demagogue (@eclecticbrotha) February 14, 2016
Ciao
"Conservative" icon Antonin Scalia dies, and we can absolutely count on at least one of his fellow "conservatives" to pay him great honor and respect by tweeting out a picture that's NOT Antonin Scalia.
Senator Ron Johnson is a seriously doltish meathead who probably couldn't find his ass with a guide and a fucking GPS.
The good news is that Russ Feingold is back and could end up kicking this turd muffin to the curb.
Seriously - what the fuck is wrong with these guys?

The Patriots
The pinnacle of historical esteem is when people write songs about you and your exploits. I guess there's some kind of opposite thing happening when they do it as satire(?)

Guests on Diane Rehm show talking about “enormity” of support for Trump. Hope they’re using the word on purpose.— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) February 12, 2016
It takes a writer like Fallows to see the "enormity" of the problem and then express it in fewer words rather than more.

Goober Squad Update
The last of the militia schmucks in Oregon gave it up today and surrendered to the FBI.
So, of course, I had to bop over to Fox Nation to check on the reactions of the Guano Clan - and also too because trolling those mush-brains is just too damned fun.

Some of these wackos are giving wackos a bad name.
The Purge for Purity is just plain silly if you're concluding that a rapacious privatizing rent-seeking asshole like Paul Ryan doesn't quite measure up to your Assholery Specifications.

Gotta Go Back To Cable
TBS premiered Samantha Bee's new show - Full Frontal - last night and, of course, I'd forgotten all about it.
Here's a great clip that's great just for including the line describing Donald Trump as "an oddly tinted collection of psychiatric symptoms". You can't not like that shit.

Mr Giuliani seems to think speaking the truth isn't wholesome. He's saying having an opinion, stating an opinion, and defending that opinion is OK but only in places and/or circumstances prescribed by - who exactly? The masters? The Ruling Class? Some blobby "majority" or "the American people"? It's always some vaguely-defined image of an America that can be changed to fit whatever narrative they're flacking right now, but it always always always comes down to inviting the inference of a kindly white hegemony in a soft-focus past where all the black people were the good kind of black people who knew how lucky they were to spend their lives cleaning our toilets and then conveniently dying with nothing to show for it - long before we had to think maybe we should pay them back for any of it.
The authoritarian mindset is always trying to tell everybody to shut up; get with the program; and don't say or do anything that might make anybody feel uncomfortable with the way the boss needs people to believe things are. And one of the main tools is Divide-n-Conquer. They work hard to pit us against each other to make sure we go on paying their rent, while looking for any opportunity to point and say, (eg) "Hey, look - Beyonce is being divisive".
They talk "Unity", but if you make any attempt to get people together, they'll be happy you've given them another chance to slag you by saying you're the one "tearing this country apart".
We're being fucked with like we've got tails.

Ends In A Tie
Some more or less random thinking on the day after Super Bowl.
So yesterday was the 50th Annual Billionaires' Bash-a-Rama, nestled in the snuggly warmth of Silicon Valley's mega-bucks party in the richest city in USAmerica Inc.
OK, I'll see that bet and I'll raise ya Black History Month, plus the 50th anniversary of Huey and Bobby starting the Black Panther Party (in the Bay Area BTW).
In a game featuring (mostly) black guys, where the Most Valuable Game's Most Valuable Player is a black guy, didn't anybody think it was little weird how the guy nobody could stop talking about was a washed-up white-dude quarterback who played like he had a coupla strands of linguini floppin' around where his throwin' arm's supposed to be?
One more tidbit - the Broncos Defense has 25 guys listed on the depth chart. 24 of 'em are black. Black men brought that trophy home to you, Denver. I don't know what that means, if it means anything at all, but a little acknowledgement on that one wouldn't be outa line. Maybe that's all Beyoncé was trying to say.
Anyway, my Donkeys won, and I'm a happy guy right now, and I can make a decision on whether or not I stay with this football thing later. Time for another drink.

(still don't know why the sound was so lousy - either an engineer forgot to flip a switch or CBS was playin' it a little too cool and the whole thing had to go thru one guy's panel so he could pull the plug in case there was a Wardrobe Malfunction situation - you noticed Justin and Janet were absent from the retrospective, right?)
Was Bey kicking the beast from the inside, trying to give somebody a signal of some sort? Is it "disrespectful" that she'd do that at the Super Bowl? Or is it insulting to our intelligence, and/or more than a little ironic that a creature of "the system" is working hard to convince us she's fighting the system? Or maybe it's just more shiny things - bread and circuses.
Any subversive worth his salt knows the dominant force loses completely if they don't win outright, and that the insurgency wins if all they do is survive to fight just one more day. So how does anybody "win" anything in this kinda shit - when it's all mashed up together like this?
