A short diary here, but with a point I'd wanted to make: I'd been looking through this diary on the seemingly bizarre Republican mocking of a politician who gives a speech using a teleprompter, and there was one thing that wasn't mentioned--the actual intelligent scheming reason behind the utter idiocy.

A survey given out over the past week found 68% of participants who self-identified as Republican would return a vigorous "Absolutely!" on being queried, "What the heck! Are you insane or something?" Another 5% of respondents answered, "No, sorry, just evil." While the remaining 27% of participants questioned were heard to bluster something incomprehensible about socialist czars before collapsing, red-faced, in a frothing mess next to the phone. Ambulances were called, and care will be delivered as soon as they can find their insurance cards.

Interestingly, a simultaneous Rasmussen poll with identical questions returned similar results, but included an additional 70% who responded "Where's the birth certificate!" to all questions posed.

The margin of error for the poll was 2%, unless you're affiliated with the GOP, in which case the MoE is closer to 100%--as all polling has always been extremely suspect and the GOP has never and will never use any sort of polling data to try to make mean, small-minded partisan political attacks, so uncalled for in this time of crisis for our country, and how dare you try to lower the level of discourse of this great nation and etc.

I've never liked how the public generally seems to blame Madoff for the entire collapse of the economy. As far as I'm concerned, at worst he's a just a common crook, give him a 5 to 10, and at best he's a an anti-hero; a Robin Hood of the financial sector. He used the good ol' boy crony corruption on Wall Street as a cover to steal billions from the rich--the people who could afford to be stolen from. And some of them probably deserved it. Well, Robin Hood, minus the whole charity part.

The main point is: Madoff's crimes were almost diametrically-distinct from the problems that necessitated the bailout, but he gets painted in to it anyhow.

Hey! Remember yesterday when the Heritage Foundation made that clever little joke about sending G.W. Bush to Haiti and we all had a good laugh because that was obviously the worst idea anyone could have had, under the circumstances? And of course we were a little bit angry because the whole thing was mean-spirited and insistent that it was Obama's duty to continually offer the GOP "bipartisanship" handouts despite a consistent lack of anything but insult in return.

Well, according to the Wall Street Journal, he likely wind up there yet, albeit about as late and after-the-fact as he wound up in New Orleans.

I apologize if this breaks the one diary daily maximum, so I waited until after midnight to post it. I thought it was kind of important.

CliffsNotes on reasons AGAINST the censure:

We have much better things, far more important things to do.

We are uncertain how the whole thing would play out

2a)(and it might not go our way)
2b)(and there's at least a little historical evidence to indicate it might not go our way)

It certainly wouldn't win anyone over to the progressive side.

In the end, it's playing even more into the seemingly endless, terrible cycle of meanness and partisan politics and we don't need to keep adding to that.

And hey, we're better than that.

More in-depth, case by case addressing of those points below the fold.

I've got myself a very expensive genetic disease and my wonderful parents and I have fought with insurance companies throughout my life to make sure they don't screw us over (and they've tried very hard and come awfully close). I've seen up close how sleazy and downright evil the insurance industry and healthcare reform is an intense personal issue for me.

Today, I was shocked to find that my insurance provider might just be trying out a brand new tactic: actually doing their job. That's right, for the first time I've ever seen, my insurance provider COMPLETELY PAID FOR MEDICATIONS!

It does not mean what you think it means and I feel bad when I hear them smart folks on the TV use it.

"Begs the question" is not synonymous with "insists upon the obvious question;" If something "raises a question" it does not mean it "begs the question."

Is it possible Obama is putting off the rescinding of Don't Ask Don't Tell until AFTER healthcare reform is passed because he wants to wait until after he's affected a tremendous and essential positive change to the country before he takes on the relatively minor (compared to the health care situation) injustice that will cause a big controversy and lose him a few points in the polls? That he's not forgetting his campaign promises, but realizing if he tries to do everything at once he might end up getting nothing done, so he needs to postpone one issue so it can be dealth with without seeming like a distraction from something more important? Am I naive to still suspect the man of a reasonable or balanced altruistic/pragmatic thought process like that, despite how he's PROVEN himself to be a secret Kenyan godless Russian communist muslim racist nazi homosexual space-alien antichrist smoker glue-sniffer murderer furry gas-huffing abortionist dog-hating catperson orphan/super-orphan community-organizing community-theater-enthusiast womanizer butt-looker serial-killing guitar-hero and all?

Maybe. I suppose we'll have to wait for the documents. Why won't he release the documents proving he's not a superorphan space-alien? Ball's in your court, "Barry".

It amazes me how naive most of the world is. I mean, he's AL GORE for Christ's sake! And yet millions of people, or maybe I should call them "sheeple", irregardless, millions of folks worldwide have bought into his absurd fiction. But here's the real truth: there isn't one single shred of scientific evidence to back up the THEORY of global warming.

It seems to me like this country iss setting brand new records for gullibility. If the globe was really getting so much hotter then why did it snow last week? It's May for Christ's sake! Does Herr Gore really think I'm so simple I can be tricked into believing a giant fable that I can prove wrong by looking out the window? How stupid does he think I am?

I’m here to tell y’all to LISTEN UP, PEOPLE! Just because a lot of people say the same thing DOES NOT MAKE THAT THING TRUE! Use your head and Don't Buy The Lefty Lies!

Here's a significant ongoing problem: Dick Cheney is not in prison (even though he should be in prison). First: some light humor!

I wrote a joke a while ago. It's a great joke because it has appeal across the entire political spectrum. Liberal, moderate, or delusional psychotic everyone can enjoy this joke. It goes a-like a-this: "right now Washington DC is full of the smartest people in America trying their hardest to figure out the best way to the make the American People's lives better."

Ha ha ha but seriously folks the following body is entitled Dick Cheney is a War Criminal who Needs To Go To Prison:
