At stake, Florida and the human race.

It's hard to believe but true. There are still people in Florida who will vote for a Martian over an Earthling That is the power of extraterrestrial mind control. Ever since Rick Scott (Grock) got into the governor's office, he has been emitting mind-altering waves throughout the state, mostly northern Florida. It is hard to determine how many other fellow-Martians are plotting with him, because none is quite as ugly and alien-looking, as you can see from this frightening photo.   One can only hope that enough people are still left with sanity and reason to elect Charlie Crist. Otherwise the Martians, having a foothold in Florida, may branch out to destroy the rest of the county, and eventually the entire Earth.

Asinine article.

I used to read HuffingtonPost because it was interesting. Now I read it out of fascination of how stupid it is. Not only is it wildly chauvinistic in its constant appraisal  of the female body. But its articles about gays (whom they often refer to, offensively, as queer) by Noah Michelson,  their "Executive Editor of Huffpost Gay Voices" seem better suited to gay porno mags. The latest is "Why Isn't Anyone Talking About Nick Jonas's Hairy Ass."  These are the kind of articles that have the straight world convinced that gay men think of nothing but sex, which is probably true about Mr. Michelson. Not only is the article kind of absurd, but as you can see from this picture Mr. Jonas hardly has a hirsute rear end, so we can only assume what fuzz there is has been overly fantasized by the author.

Losers all.

I will never understand why so many poor and middle-class Americans will vote for these cold-hearted bastards. They are anti-woman, anti-black, anti-immigrant, anti-gay and they only strive to enrich their wealthy friends and to fill their own already replete coffers. I'd love to believe that Americans, in general, are a noble and intelligent people. But line-ups like these make me believe otherwise.

Imagine what could have been.

Republicans are delighted that Vice President Joe Biden has had to apologize twice this week for comments he made that offended key Arab partners. In one case he suggested that the United Arab Emirates were supporting al Quaeda fighters in Syria. The UAE demanded that he walk back the comment which, of course, he did. But the Republicans should be delighted, not by Biden's discomfort, but because if McCain has won the presidency two elections ago, the party would have faced the humiliation of the constantly bumbling and always misspeaking Sarah Palin issuing apologies and retractions on a daily basis.

How does your health plan stack up?

One of today's most common complaints is the high cost of medical care. While I don't have any idea of what creates the greatest expenses, I can tell you what surely helps. Mailings. As a member of AvMed's medicare supplement insurance, I receive endless irritating mailings week after week after week. Each mail item costs an average of 38 cents. But my partner also receives the same mailing though I have told them they need not send two. So that's almost $40 a year . Multiply that by their many thousands of members. And that's not counting the costly membership books, which are necessary, and the many other heavy mailings which are not necessary. Do I read this material? Of course not. I'm sure some of it is important, but most of it is not. I like my AvMed health plan, except when I get to the so-called "gap" and have to pay full price for my medications. Maybe if they cut down on all these unnecessary mailings, the gap could be less painful.

America's newest pain in the ass.

Her name is Joni Ernst. She's a butch, pint-sized,  gun-toting racist from Iowa. Like Sarah Palin she thinks she's a whole lot smarter than she is. Naturally, like most Republicans, she hates anything that president Obama supports with particular loathing for the life-saving, anxiety-reducing, life savings savings benefits of Obamacare. Right now she's a nominee for the U.S. Senate in Iowa. Unfortunately Iowa is so full of red-necked ignoramuses this new boil on America's backside just may become a long-lasting affliction.

"Beyonce Is White Hot In A Bikini"

I find it odd that Huffington Post is chastising Jeopardy for featuring a category that they consider sexist. The category is called "What Women Want" and the answers are harmless responses that are not particularly sexist like woman want a well-fitting pair of jeans or some quiet time. In short, just what men want. What's annoying about the Huffpost scolding is that there is nobody more sexist than them. Every day brings a new Huffpost article about how so and such, always female, looks hot in this bathing suit, or gorgeous in this dress, or made eyes pop in her bra-less tee.  In short "What Internet magazine is being laughingly hypocritical?"

Note: The headline and photo above are just one example of the daily sexist lead-ins on HuffPost.
