Posted by: | CommentsThis video of Minnesota’s best and brightest Al Franken, making a pitch to America’s most exclusive club, the US Senate, calls to mind the wisdom of Sir Winston Churchill. He once observed:
“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter”
This must hold especially true of the esteemed voters of the great state of Minnesota who inflicted “Senator” Franken upon us. If we expelled them from the union there would be several states that would have to join them in exile, Nevada (Reid), California (start with Pelosi and go on from there) and Massachusetts (Barney the clown) to name a few.
Watching brother Al’s performance was both painful and embarrassing. You deserve a prize if you make it all the way through the video (but alas, you won’t be getting one)

Mark Critz, a longtime aide the late Rep. John Murtha, edged Republican candidate Tim Burns in a special election Tuesday to take his boss’s old seat.
Although there is a bit of hope. Yes, even in Pennsylvania:
Citizen Woody Allen Thinks We Should Let President Obama be a Dictator
Posted by: | CommentsThe Los Angeles Times reports that “Top political strategist Woody Allen thinks Obama would get much more done as dictator; No, really.”
The notorious and formerly funny movie director Woody Allen is apparently frustrated with the cumbersome operations of American democracy too.
The one-time-father-now-husband-of-his-daughter tells the Spanish-language magazine La Vanguardia that the United States’ Democratic Smoker-in-Chief could accomplish a whole lot more from his White House if he didn’t have so many disorderly, annoying people objecting, distracting and criticizing him all the time.
Such social messiness has been known to occur in functioning democracies, even cinematic ones, although less often on celebrity-strewn movie sets under the direction of a dictatorial director.
“It would be good…if (Obama) could be dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly,” Allen is quoted as saying.
Allen is also said to have said:
I am pleased with Obama. I think he is brilliant. The Republican Party should get out of his way and stop trying to hurt him.

John Cusack Remembers the ’80s. Which Planet was He On?
Posted by: | CommentsI like a lot of John Cusack movies, but the simple fact is that he’s more than just a little bit crazy and stupid whenever he talks about politics. Here’s how he remembers the 1980s — the decade that made him a star and rich, by the way:
“I remember it being a kind of forced Prozac happy time without the Prozac,” Cusack says. “We were sort of like optimism by martial law. There were jumbotrons of Ronald Reagan everywhere. There were Dr. Pepper people dancing. There was this militant patriotism, nationalism, faux spirituality to it. I look back on it as an intense, dark decade.”
Man, I don’t know how I missed those jumbotrons “everywhere.” They sound awesome.
Sounds like the only thing missing Prozac is this nutjob.

Sean Penn Wants Reporters Jailed for Calling Chavez ‘Dictator’
Posted by: | CommentsSean Penn Wants Reporters Jailed for Calling Chavez ‘Dictator’
First Amendment be damned . . . If Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn had his way, any journalist who called Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez a dictator would quickly find himself behind bars.
Penn, appearing on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” on Friday, defended Chavez during a segment in which he detailed his work with the JP Haitian Relief Organization, which he co-founded.
“Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it, and accept it” said Penn, winner of two Best Actor Academy Awards. “And this is mainstream media, who should — truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies.”
It was just the beginning of a busy weekend for Penn. When asked on CBS’ “Sunday Morning” about those who question his motives for his humanitarian work in Haiti, he said:
“Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I’m not going to spend a lot of energy on it.”
Judge Andrew Napolitano, Fox News’ senior judicial analyst, said the same constitutional protection that applies to journalists also applies to Penn, who can say pretty much anything he wants in the “political arena” — aside from an immediate incitement of violence
For those who want to witness the thupidity for themselves, you can view Mr. Penn’s performance here.
