Turns out Donald Trump is a Bigoted Blowhard......Who knew?

While the moral arc of history may bend toward justice, the political arc of the Republican party appears to bend toward stupid. * * * * * * * * * * Republicans have been developing a strategy re. Planned Parenthood: "On this Planned Parenthood thing, let's make up a bunch of phony crap, spread it around like crazy, then concoct some desperate and will never work plan to shut down the government unless the Democrats defund half a billion in women's health programs, piss everybody off and make absolutely no difference before we capitulate and look really stupid. All in favor, vote aye. Motion carried." ** * * * * * * Bobby Jindal said he'd be okay with a Muslim President if he would swear on the Bible to uphold the Constitution. Um, Bobby................ * * * * * * * * * * Scott Walker announced he is dropping out of the Presidential race today so he can devote himself full-time to f****** over Wisconsin school teachers and social workers. "I've neglected making life miserable for school teachers and children for too long now in my quest for higher office," he said. "I pledge myself now with even more vigor and energy to making things even worse for Wisconsin in every way I can think of. You think Kansas is a basket case? You just wait. We're going to make Kansas look like a socialist paradise." * * * * * * * * Dr. Ben Carson shared his opinion that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was inspired by Satan. * * * * * * * * Chris Christie gave the head of the New Jersey National Guard 90 days to lose weight...... You can't make this stuff up. * * * * * * * ** Turns out Donald Trump is a bigoted blowhard. Who knew? * * * * * * * * * * Pope Francis visited Washington DC and New York City. Donald Trump demanded to see Pope Francis' birth certificate. "I've heard he may be a secret Muslim," Trump said. "I'm not saying he is, but I've heard that. I've sent the same crack team of detectives I sent to Hawaii to the Vatican to get to the bottom of this. The question we want answered is 'Is the Pope Catholic?' He seems more like an Episcopalian to me....." * * * * * * * * Several Republican Congressmen and Supreme Court Justices did not attend the Pope's address to Congress: "When we said we wanted more religion in government we didn't mean that 'feed the poor and take care of the sick' crap. We meant 'be mean to gays and lesbians' and stuff like that," they said. "Who does that guy think he is anyway, the Pope?" * * * * * * * * * Apparently about one-third of Iowa Republicans want to increase religious freedom and outlaw Islam at the same time. I don't think religious freedom is what they actually have in mind. * * * * * * *Breaking News - John Boehner to quit Congress. "Under my watch, the Republican caucus has become a fetid, corrupt, dysfunctional, roiling mass of lunacy. My work here is done," he said. * * * * * * * * * Yogi Berra died at age 90. Always quotable, Yogi once said "Half the lies told about me aren't true." He also said, ""Love is the most important thing in the world. But baseball is pretty good, too." And while I'm at it, I'd like to clarify my editorial policy with another quote from Yogi I made up - "I only make up true things."
