Just when you think the Republicans and the Tea Party could not be more of a joke, someone finally points out all of their inanity in a comic book by creating a five man Republican superhero team, and they're called the W.A.S.P. Squad. The person who wrote this really zings the Republicans. I love good political satire, and this is it. They're lead by "The Man" whose super power is "illegal vision," which detects illegal immigrants at middle management and above. He lives in a mansion with his wife, the Mrs. in red state Idaho. I sprang for the comic book (I love comic books) and I haven't stopped laughing since. I won't include any pictures, copyright infringement and all, but the Republican team is made up of:

The Man - The Leader
The Mrs. - His super powerful wife
The Monocle - His power is the free market and making people "productive"
Pierre - Cheese eating surrender monkey
The Reverend - Worships Ronald Reagan and is a priest of Rand
Bubba - Git 'er done!

Wow I can't breathe. This is the Republican Party of today in all of its ridiculous glory and someone had the guts to call them out on it. There's a Democratic super hero team, and they're called the Funkforce, hence the name of the website I guess. I'll read that next.

Why are people this confused?

So I live in Santorum country, but we have some barrel chested libertarians also out here and some ex-Obama progressives added to the mix, so it's a lot of fun. I actually was talking about the fair pay for women act, and how Republicans, and Mitt Romney, were against it.

"That's awful! Romney sucks! This is why I'm voting for Ron Paul!"

I was flabbergasted. It's like people just have an object of dislike and they move to someone that gives them a good feeling, not even realizing what policies they are supporting. I explained to my friend that Paul would be against any law that told the private sector what to do. But, I got an earful about how Paul is for America, and he unites, and he's not partisan. Then I reminded my friend that Paul was against the civil rights act.

People are so friggin' confused.

"Santorum may not be perfect..."

I actually heard this sentence at work today. I'm a wage slave working at corporate fast food, so I get lots of people coming through. I live out in Santorum country, with all of the Christians who have dozens of kids on the side and live off the welfare state like none other. This woman visibly HATED Romney. She could barely hide it while talking to a friend of hers. She said she doesn't like President Obama's policies, and she isn't wild about any of the candidates, but she did say that "Santorum may not be perfect, but he's the best we've got."

Yes, the man who wants to ban pornography and thinks rape is God's gift is the best we've got. Flying Spaghetti Monster save us all!
