I would like to volunteer my time as well. First, all of my grandparents from both mom and dad's side are already deceased due to cancer, heart attack, etc, etc. So all of this crying for pulling the plug on grandma doesn't work on me since God already took them (and no human pulled the plug on them, take that Conservative Christians!). Second, I'm a professional, single woman who no longer has a boyfriend (thanks a lot, loser!) so Sarah Palin's crying over her baby doesn't work on me either since children leave a bitter after taste in my mouth thanks to my ex (good luck to the uterus who gets your sperm, loser!). However, despite my setbacks, I have succeeded in getting my advanced degrees (Hell yeah, I love my Masters!) and work successfully in my current careers with a promising future. I hope to gain my optimism back within 48 hours in order to gain a certain amount of empathy as well (however, it will be very limited to right wingnuts).

Seriously. I've never understood the appeal to Glenn Beck. Back when he was at CNN Headline News, he either put me to sleep or just gave the impression of being a jackass. His skits weren't funny and every time he tried to make a point, he always came off as sarcastic. Then again, I could very well be the demographic that he doesn't aim for (in my 20s, bi-racial, both parents immigrants, lives in NYC, has a Master's degree, heavily blue and liberal family). I always wonder why the people who listen to him are older and white. I don't really see "minorities" at these protests, but then again cameras can't be everywhere. He doesn't seem to have any kind of academic or political credentials that would impress anyone either. He just seems like a guy with a lot of crazy on him like a lot of Birthers and Deathers. I'm not sure what his objective is either. To create a new culture war? Alright, I'll play along. If this culture ended, what would be the new one? If Glen Beck took over the government, what would it look like? What would his utopia be? I'm afraid to even ask because most of the people who support seem feel to be the most uninformed U.S. citizens I have ever seen. They bring up problems, but when it comes to solutions, they seem to be silent. It would help us on the other side to understand better if the opposition would actually try to help the problems they are throughly addressing. I don't understand how people can be so against health care refand want it to remain the same when people are suffering from it the way it is now. It doesn't make any sense. Like Glen Beck.

Obama inherited huge problems and it going to take a lot of work to fix those problems. Of course, a lot of people are going to be ticked off but then again those ticked off people are yelling and screaming and giving me no solutions to those problems so I don't give a s**t about them.

I think NickBadSeed has a point here: "'Also, who on the republican side can mount any kind of serious challenge to Obama - Santorum? Palin? Romney? They're all losers. None could muster a majority of independents. Obama knows this, and he knows the republicans are weak now and he can get progressive ideas through."

Also, I read this sign from one town hall meeting from the lefties and progressives: Free Speech for Everyone...including Douchebags. I don't need to listen to angry, old white people to know the truth. I have better things to do like go to work and see District 9.

And I am dissappointed in the response that Mariott gave. I will no longer be staying at their hotels.

my bucket o' crazy.

"What are we supposed to say? He was a good father, kind to animals, and an unethical SOB. There, you happy? Fair and balanced."

Marcparis pretty much summed it up for me. I completely lost all respect for him for what he did to Valerie Plame. I no longer paid attention to him either until I saw this article. It's no wonder that his career tanked after that. He probably was a good father to his family, but his career definitely played against ethics when it came to his loyalty to the Republican party and Scrub. The elephants will probably miss him and that's it.

I love her music and her videos. It's great for dancing and working out. It honestly doesn't really matter to me if she was a guy/girl/it. She's a great entertainer and I enjoy her work.

A big seal of awesomeness goes to Barney Frank who kicked a nice bucket o' crazy. This woman talking to him is a moron. How can anyone call an openly gay and Jewish man a Nazi? It's like on the Think Progress website where a middle-aged, white woman in a Las Vegas townhall meeting called an Israeli man, who was saying how proud of he was of his country's healthcare system, a Nazi. Like BF, the Israeli man also caught her and called out her stupidity. The expression on her face was the same as this woman talking to BF. It's easy to see when they realized they've been caught on their stupidity and they have nothing to back it up with. Clearly, these people aren't worthy of having any reasonable, logical discussion with. How can anything start up with such stupidity? If this is the best the Republicans and conservatives can do then they are doomed. May the erosion begin...
