Steven. Guilty as Hell!

Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) has been found guilty of ethics violations. No more Hulk ties in the Senate, I guess.

Stevens said he was not guilty and he either paid for the stuff he got from contractors or thought they had been paid for.

As my granNE said, this Alaska place sounds pretty magical with $150,000 worth of clothes showing up in your closet, hundreds of thousands of dollars of renovations on your home appearing. This sounds like a great place!

The "Pro-American" Parts of Our Country

Governor Gosh Golly Gee has gotten some press of late for her comments in North Carolina (to a crowd comprised of wealthy GOP donors, mind you) that she loves to visit the parts of the country that are pro-American. Here's what she said:

"We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation."

Then Nancy Pfotenhauer, McCain spokesperson, referred to Northern Virginia as "not real Virginia." And then Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN--she once proposed--and I kid you not--a Lightbulb Freedom of Choice Act) went on Hardball and explained how she thinks Congress needs to root out its anti-American members. Sooooo...apparently disagreeing with the GOP constitutes anti-Americanism.

Senator Biden had a few things to say:

Godwin's Law!

My ma ape is currently teaching a course on political ideologies and found this image too deliciously funny to not post and proliferate. Where was this lovely piece of political wit and wisdom posted? Why, at the John McCain offices in Pompano, FL! Down with youth movements! Don't trust anyone under 65!

Gus, please tell your dad he needs to seriously revise his textbooks on Ideologies to reflect this Brave New World!
