A little Photoshop commentary. With apologies to Billy Crystal. I really hope Haaretz publishes this before the Israeli election.

What women may not know is that the term "left handed Irishman" is often used in a a derogatory context. In gaelic, the term is, in its most damning connotation, "citog" means stupid. Less severe, the term "cloot" means awkward, as in I can't work with you.

So in comparing women to left-handed Irishmen, is Paul Ryan saying they are stupid, or that he can't work with them?

Screw you, Paul Ryan. I am Irish, and I am left-handed. And you don't have a fucking clue about either women or the Irish or left-handed people, and you need to shut the fuck up.

Apologies for the lack of corroboration, but Knoxviews is reporting tonight that Tennessee state senator Stacy Campfield (R, Douchebagistan) was ejected from a Knoxville restaurant tonight. His business was not wanted.

You can read more about his recent interview with Michelangelo Signorile here. Senator Campfield has authored the "Don't Say Gay" bill in the Tennessee legislature, prohibiting faculty or students in public schools from discussing homosexuality in grades K - 8.

As a resident of this guy's senate district, believe me when I say we have worked hard to defeat this guy, but we may be calling in national reinforcements if this guy is allowed to continue his campaign of hate across our state.

Whereas, the former president and his publisher, Random House, has displayed, in electronic form, the Seal of the President of the United States of America on this web site, for the purpose of commercially promoting and selling "Decision Points," a book.

I apologize for the rather graphic title, but I'd really like to know how many of our esteemed Congressmen and women are on Nexium, paid for by their government provided health care plan.

Because I do have private insurance. I am fortunate. I am unlike thousands who have lost their coverage due to unemployment.

But my insurance carrier has decided I don't need Nexium. Not my doctor, not me. My insurance company decided I wasn't worth this overpriced but effective med from Big Pharma. I am tantalized nightly by millions of dollars in advertising for the magical purple pill. But for me, alas, no. That is for someone else.

Can you call your congressman and ask him if he or she takes Nexium? Does his or her plan cover it? Because I would like his or her plan, please.

With apologies to President Obama for the title, which I will get to in just a minute...

We had some republican friends over for dinner the other night. Generally, we vigorously represent our opposing views, civilly, without personal attacks. While things have toned down since the election, we've still discussed everything from healthcare to reform of payday lenders. Our GOP friends don't believe that any low-income person EVER needs a quick $400 for anything from insulin or other uninsured prescriptions to a busted radiator--despite my patient explanations, our friends consider that to be an unnecessary choice--low income people going to payday lenders just deserve 365 percent interest.

This is just plain bizarre. The Knoxville, TN newspaper is asking its readers if they should make an endorsement in the presidential race.

Why this election? Their arguments are pretty specious.

Bear with me. It's been a rough week. We got robbed last week, although my friend Becky tells me that technically, we were burgled. stupid word, burgled.

Anyway, we had to beef up security in our home after a skinny white guy in his 30s and his trophy crack whore broke in our back door and stole our flat screen TV and all of my wife's jewelry. The economy is tough. We had to ask our 10 year old son to think about praying for these losers, because he really wanted to kick them in the nuts. (his words.)

My friend BJ French in Knoxville Tennessee shared this story with me and I wanted to share it with you. It is a true story from her own childhood, but a powerful allegory for today. Please send this to everyone you know.

In her own words, I give you BJ French:

My Uncle Lee used to have an old hound dog named Joe. Everybody loved old Joe and spoiled him rotten. My Aunt Blanche was especially fond of Joe and would often interfere when my Uncle would try to discipline him.

According to the Politico, the McCain campaign has announced plans to use Sarah Palin's son as a political prop, "to increase Americans’ comfort with her as a leader," in violation of DOD Instruction 1334.01.

This is a pretty big deal. Key points after the DOD instruction.

It is DoD policy that:
