* So what’s up with Gingrich? His presidential campaign is like the Hindenburg crashing into the Titanic. First he goes on a Sunday show an attacks Paul Ryan’s plan in the same way any partisan Democrat would which automatically makes him the enemy of pretty much every conservative and Republican, then he tries to backtrack and puts out some weird statement saying anyone who quotes him from the Sunday show is lying, and finally he releases some purple prose statement accusing everyone attacking him of being an elitist who is part of the establishment — and since pretty much every conservative is attacking him, take that as you may. Yes, we’re all the elitists, and he’s the one using the word “literati”. The guy needs an intervention. I mean, there is no where for him to go down from here except accidentally putting his suit coat on backwards and walking into walls. Newt has gone from the genius of 1994 to Basil Marceaux.

* General Motors is sponsoring a Chinese Communist propaganda film. So time between government takeover and going full Commie — about a year. Who said Obama can’t do anything competently?

* The Obama campaign is now selling Obama birth certificate t-shirts and mugs. So if someone accuses Obama of not being born in America, there is a t-shirt to refute that. And if someone accuses Obama of wasting trillions of dollars to only hurt the economy further, they have a t-shirt that says, “Hey, look at the guy with the birth certificate t-shirt; isn’t that funny?”

* Director Lars von Trier said, “I understand Hitler.” That has to be the most inept way ever to tell people you taught yourself German.

* Liberals have released a video depicting Republicans pushing old people off a cliff. So it’s Thursday.
REPUBLICANS: “We have this new bill to change the spelling of Medicare so that the ‘c’ is capitalized.”
DEMOCRATS: “You’re going to murder old people in the street!”

* New target of the nanny state: Ronald McDonald. They think kids are becoming fat because of his influence, but I say if you want kids to eat less junk food, fill McDonald’s with nothing but clowns. If you have all those deathly pale faces staring at you, who could keep their appetite?

* Was thinking on my post yesterday that, looking at recent events, it’s kinda odd France didn’t place higher in rating the most obnoxious tourists. I guess that’s because for the rating they had categories like “not attempting the language” and “not trying local cuisine” but not “raping people”. Maybe that just falls under “being rude”.

* Herman Cain has had a surge in the polls since that first debate. I don’t know if he has a real chance, but I hope he does because at least he’s interesting. And a thesis stating that support for him only further proves Republican racism will be rather complicated, so if I were a liberal I’d get started on that right away just in case.

* In a newly found video, Osama bin Laden praised the Arab Spring. And while he supported regime change in many countries, he also said, “The Middle East needs democracy like I need a hole in the head.”
