The Wonderful World of Potential GOP Candidates





Snap your fingers, tap your toes and sing along with the music.  Then have a laugh as you  try to imagine any of these folks acutally running for President in 2012.( especially The Donald)

Sometimes the world is so nutty that all you can do is laugh.  This is definitely one of those times. And this is the perfect video for a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Donald Trump is A Space Alien


Donald Trump isn't the only one who can make crazy statements assertively.  If he can spout all his birther crap based on nothing at all, then I can certainly start an internet rumor about him.  Here we go.

Donald Trump is a space alien.  Yes he is. Think about how he appeared out of nowhere on the  NYC power real estate scene 30 years ago.  Does anybody remember his childhood-- NO.   He wasn't born, he was hatched  and was brought from another galaxy and deposited on earth to be reared as an earthling in Queens-- the most suburban of New York City's outer boroughs.. You can't get more alien than that, can you?  Obviously, he's not a REAL American. His birth certificate is a flawless forgery I bet.

He is controlled by his handlers on Alpha Centauri via a communications implant concealed under his comb-over.   Why else would he wear his hair in such an odd and alien way.  Any real human being knows that bald is better than buffoonery.  No wonder Ivana dumped him.

That somebody this crazy could be seriously running for President scares the hell out of me. That he could be number two in the polls, right behind Mitt Romney as a potential  Republican candidate is scarier still. On top of that, the right wing nut jobs in Washington, fresh from lowering taxes for the very rich are slashing education and benefits for the old, sick and poor and if they don't get what they want, they are  going to shut down the government in  just a few hours.  This is totally crazy.

Yup, Donald Trump is a space alien who will fit right in there in Washington . The inmates are totally running the asylum.  Now, where did I put my tin foil hat? I'll need it on Alpha Centauri.



Ian Murphy Can Haz Political Campaign

The name Ian Murphy may not immediately ring a bell, but I bet you remember the Buffalo Beast editor who pranked Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker  last month by pretending to be David H. Koch and getting Walker to reveal his union-busting agenda in what he thought was a private phone call..

 Guess who the prankster was--yup it was Ian Murphy, bon vivant, political gadfly and gonzo journalist.  I love this guy, so though I am not in his district and not even in New York State, I am thrilled that he is running for Congress.

And here comes the best part.  Murphy is running on the Green Party ticket in a special election to fill the spot of   tah dah ( you are gonna LUV this) Chris Lee aka the Craig's List adulterer. Remember him?  He's the Republican Congressman who was trolling Craig;s list for dates and sending out bare chested photos and resigned when his wife and the media found out. You gotta love those Republican " strong family values" types.

Murphy is not soft on the issues.  Here's a bit of his platform, straight from his website  For more information plus the complete campaign platform go to  Murphy Can Has Congress and look around.  You won't be sorry, oh and you can make a donation or volunteer your time there as well.

 Craigslist Transsexuals
I am pro-Craigslist transsexuals. Unlike your last Congressman, however, I am not a terrible hypocrite. And unlike my Republican opponent, I am not a discriminating jerk.
 Tax Billionaires
The divide between the haves and the have-nots hasn’t been this wide since the Great Depression. The middle class is being ripped off and lied to. Crooks on Wall Street receive bailouts and bonuses, for stealing your money. People are working harder than ever, for less and less. This pisses me off. It should piss you off, too.
When I’m elected to Congress, I’ll fight to shift the tax burden away from the middle class and the small business owners of the 26th district. It’s time the U.S. had a sane, progressive income tax and corporate tax structure.
When Warren Buffett’s secretary pays more income tax than he does, you know something ain’t quite right.
 Adorable Puppies
I am pro-adorable puppies. When I’m elected to Congress, and if you’re good, I might get you one.

If you llive in New York State's 26th Congressional District, don't forget to get out and vote on May 24th for Ian Murphy--a laid back dude seeking votes, and maybe more.  If you don't live in Murphy's District, you might want to support him anyway, just to say thank you.  At the very least, you could follow him on Twitter








Week-End Video to Make You Laugh

With a tip of the hat to Gilbert & Sullivan and another to  Cogitamus, the fabulous blog where I found this delightful satirical goodie, I give you the laugh you need  if you are beset by electioneering from both left and right, sick of the tea party, and just about ready to throw in the towel.  Tah-dah  !!!


The Republicans Have a Plan for Ground Zero



 Yes folks, Republicans have a plan for Ground Zero and since one picture is worth we all know how many words-- I'll let this graphic do the talking.

 But first a hat tip to Political Irony.com-- a political blog you should definitely check out early and often.  They published this fabulous tongue in cheek comment on the New York City, Ground Zero Mosque bruhahaha yesterday.  I just had to reblog it.


Obama Throws A Barbecue

I love political satire. I really do. This video with Obama as grillmaster at a  backyard barbecue  is a hoot-- a political metaphor for the ages.  My favorite line?  " IN Europe EVERYBODY has potato salad"

Go ahead. Watch it. You'll see what I mean
