The Tea Bagging Health Care Brigade has truly gone off the rails, off their rockers, and off the deep end. If this is the grassroots, the grass is on fire and the roots have been poisoned by something Monsanto wouldn’t even have the balls to market. This is truly toxic waste level material.

This is, dare I say: Crazyism.

Yes, that’s right, Crazyism has seeped into our great nation and it's spreading it's horrible wings of Crazy over town halls and auditoriums all over our land. Crazyism is infecting the minds of hundreds, if not tens of hundreds of our fellow citizens and who knows where it might lead. And Crazyism’s attack on calm, democratic debate—in which facts and the truth actually matter—is being led and organized by leading members of the Craziest Party of America. (Formerly the Republican Party).

And the only answer for saving America from the Scourge of Crazyism is a House Uber-Crazy-American Committee.

Along with outright lying about "getting wind" of Sotomayor's temparment when he conducted the vetting for Alito, Rove inadvertently reveals something so much more base about the Republican's dislike of Sotomayor.

How?

How does one reconcile making an argument lastweek that increasing taxes by 3% and passing a large stimulus plan is tyrannical fascism and argue thisweek that the government has the unfettered freedom to crush the testicles of small children NO MATTER WHAT under the constitutional power of the presidency without suffering from intellectual whiplash?

President Obama, Feb. 27, 2009: "Let me say this as plainly as I can: by August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end..."

Bush, May 1, 2003: "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed."

I’m not claiming the two statements or their speakers are remotely comparable. Bush was prancing around in a flight suit and cod piece moments before he uttered the most regrettable words of his presidency. Obama was soberly laying out a (hopefully) realistic way out of Iraq. And yet, call me a concern troll, but what happens if August 31, 2010 arrives and the situation in Iraq has worsened from where it is today.

What does Obama do then?

Since Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour are such big believers in keeping Federal government money out of state affairs, I’m sure they’ll soon be announcing they’re sending back the nearly $100 Billon their states have received or will receive in Federal assistance in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Because, if we just let the free market and the private sector do its magic, unfettered by that bastard Washington D.C., Haley and Bobby are certain the levies would have magically reappeared and all the lost homes and business would have sprung right back to life. (Not to mention all the people rescued thanks to Federal help).

Those of us unlike Bobby and Haley and their minions, those of us who believe government should do (and obviously does) much more than just build bombs and hand out tax cuts, would like all that money back so it could be put to better use. Bobby and Haley can explain to their constitutents why the Free Market Fairy left all the roads unbuilt, the hospitals unrepaired, the business shuttered, and the levies left wide open for the next hurricane.

Please, let this be true. These possible 2012 "hopefuls" for the GOP nomination would really solidify that 28% that still thinks Bush was the Greatest, and guarantee the remaining 72% for us! And by the way, can anyone tell me why Bobby Jindal is considered an "up and comer?" What has he done to even be in the conversation? Oh wait, maybe it's that the GOP doesn't have anyone else in the wings other than the tax evader from Alaska.

Let me get this straight. Shamelessly defy a Congressional subpoena regarding jeopardizing the safety of clandestine operatives, and nothing happens. (See: Rove, Myers, et. al). Lie or conveniently forget everything about politicizing the Justice Department under oath, and nothing happens. (See: Gonzales, Goodling, et al).

But fail to rat out a fellow teammate regarding the breathlessly important issue of steroid use in baseball, and you go to jail? The answer for poor Miguel Tejada, apparently, is a resounding yes.

At this point, Congress' tagline borrows from one of the MLB's biggest sponsors: Beating up on a bunch of greedy, dishonest ballplayers to score cheap political points?: Priceless. For everything else: (like preventing horrible abuses of power by the executive branch, serving as an actual check and balance, and maintaining any sense of dignity) there’s complete impotence and incompetence.

Jesus may be Sarah Palin's personal savior and God may be Kurt Warner's co-pilot, but the Lord Almighty has a funny way of rewarding some of his loudest evangelists.

Back in late October, Sarah confidently predicted that on election day, God will do the right thing for America. Meanwhile, Kurt Warner apparently did Joe Namath one better during the week leading up to the Super Bowl, suggesting that God would guarantee a victory for his Cardinals.

Happily, as it turns out, God doesn't choose favorites.

But all of this personal appropriation of God and God's will, while funny on the surface, is really rather scary. More so when politicians do it, than when quarterbacks do it, but scary either way.

Don't get me wrong, I love the guy.

But first they unveil a fake presidential seal during the campaign and get rightly made fun of for it. Now, he gives his very first press conference as the president-elect behind a podium labeled: "Office of the President-elect." I know image is everything, but come on! The election results speak for themselves. Obama doesn't need to convince anyone that he looks presidential. He is. And he doesn't need a fake seal to get that message across. It comes across whenever he speaks. To me, the fake seal comes across as a lack of confidence, a message I know they do not want to send.

Am I missing something here?

Are there enough Joe the Plumbers to flush America down the toilet?

Obama on the campaign trail today:

By the end of the week, he'll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in Kindergarten.

While I like this quote a lot, as I'm sure many of you do, I still find myself worrying a little. I worry a little because as silly as Palin and McCain's feverish Red-baiting sounds to us (and Obama, as the quote suggests), there is still Joe the Plumber to worry about. Not the tax-dodging, non-plumbing, fraud that McCain sought to have stand in as the metaphorical "regular" American. No, I'm talking about the people that Joe the Plumber actually does represent in a metaphorical sense--the millions of Americans who consistently vote against their economic interests and in the process, cost Democrats control of our government.

As silly as the Marxist-Communist narrative is, I hope someone in the Obama campaign is getting out the message to the wavering folks in Pennsylvania and Ohio that McCain's accusations of communism arise from Obama's dastardly plan to increase the tax rate on the richest Americans by a measly three freakin' percent. You know, the same rates in place when Commissar Clinton was running the Politburo.

Per CNN:

"In an interview posted online Wednesday, Sarah Palin told Dr. James Dobson of "Focus on the Family" that she is confident God will do "the right thing for America" on Nov. 4."

So, if things stay the way they are in the polls, it will be God's will that we inagurate Barack Obama on January 20, 2009. Garnering 350 electoral votes would be nice, but having God's mandate...that will really move the progressive agenda forward!

No word on God's party affiliation, but stay tuned.
