* Alabama and Mississippi vote today, and this could possibly mean yet another Gingrich surge if he sweeps them both. Will this primary ever end? Maybe we are heading to a brokered convention scenario, but I’m just not super hopeful the people making the decision there won’t just choose some super RINO who otherwise would have been unelectable in a Republican primary.
I really hate Republicans. It’s just a much smaller, less visceral hate than that of Democrats.
* Obama’s whole “There’s a war on women and I’m going to save you from having to go to Walgreens and buy contraception yourself” strategy doesn’t seem to be helping him as he’s hitting new lows in the polls. Probably because of things people actually care about like gas prices. Obama desperately wants a lot of distractions to help his chances of reelection, but I’m not sure that any amount of smoke and mirrors can cover how much he sucks at being the president.
Maybe he should learn to juggle. Anytime people point out how bad the economy and deficit are, he can just start juggling. And if people still question him, he can switch to juggling knives. Ooh! Knives! He could hurt himself. This is exciting!
* Actually, I do have one bit of praise for Obama. Despite all the recent horrible setbacks in Afghanistan, Obama has assured everyone that there will be no “rush for the exits” which seems like the right thing to say. The only times Obama seems presidential is in occasional dealings with the military — probably because he deviates the least from his predecessor in his strategies there. It’s not that he’s done anything particularly good — it’s just the one area where Obama had preformed above my really low expectations.
* Have you noticed how about 95% of modern feminism is about contraception and abortion? I.e., most of feminism is about being able to have consequence free sex — so it’s feminism as designed by horny teenage boys.
Also, have you noticed how most of the women shrieking about how the Republicans want to control their bodies are people who no one wants to touch their bodies with ten foot polls?
Just observations.
* Eric Holder is opposing the Texas voter ID law because he says it’s harmful to Hispanics. Being a racist, you may think minorities are like anyone else and that getting a photo id would be an extremely simple thing for them as it is for everyone, but progressives want you to know that minorities find things that are simple to white people to be extremely confusing and complicated. An Hispanic getting a photo ID? That’s like teaching a dog to walk on its hind legs, apparently.
Photo IDs are used for tons of things in every day life; instead of these voting laws, shouldn’t we be focused on helping the people who somehow have trouble getting a photo ID get one?
* Also, have you noticed how Democrats try to claim Republicans are the stupid ones, yet the Democrats’ reelection strategies all seem to be about getting as many uninformed people to the polls as possible?
* Wisdom of the Day from La Shawn Barber:
Next time pharmacy person at CVS asks to see my photo ID when I buy pseudoephedrine, I’m gonna shout, “Jim Crow has returned!”
