Applaud: to falling like flies. Becoming the tenth republican to retire this cycle, it’s been confirmed that Rep. Ralph Regula (r-OH) will announce his retirement very, very soon. (Will the last republican leaving DC please turn off the lights?)
Heckle: to the smearing of a 12-year old, which shows the true nature of republicans. All of you attacking this kid better be careful, karma has a way of coming back to bite you on the ass…
Applaud: to winning YET again. First he was the true winner of the 2000 presidential election…then an Oscar, and a Grammy, and now former Vice President Al Gore has been named a co-winner, along with the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. The committee awarded them the prize early Friday in recognitiong of “their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.” (Way to Al, way to go…)
Heckle: to dwindling numbers. No, I’m not talking about the dwindling of republicans in Congress, but rather the number of the Iraq war coalition. Originally there were 49 nations in the coalition… that number has now plummeted to 21. (How long until it’s a coalition of 1?)
Applaud: to seemingly knowing where the TRUE war on terror is. The US Marine Corps wants to remove its forces from Iraq and send them to Afghanistan so they could take over the lead combat role there. (Interesting turn of events isn’t it? Stay tuned…)
Heckle: to “President” Bush and his pathetic claims that the U.S. economy is currently “vibrant and strong” and is full of “good news for people here in our country.” Luckily though, a new AP poll leads to a:
Applaud: to the American people for NOT believing the spin. A new AP poll shows that a “growing number of people say the economy is the nation’s top problem” and don’t agree with Bush’s assesment… keep spinning George, people aren’t believing it…
Heckle: to inane comments. During this past week’s republican debate, moderator Chris Matthews asked Mitt Romney if he would get congressional approval in order to “take military action against Iran.” Romney’s response was a less-than-stellar; “You sit down with your attorneys and tell you what you have to do.” (Putz…)
Applaud: that 70% of registered voters think “President” Bush’s $200 billion Iraq war supplemental spending request should be rejected or, at the least, conditioned on redeployment… (But will the administration care? Absolutely not…)
Heckle: to something that shouldn’t come as a big surprise. The opening of the obscenely large US embassy in Iraq has been delayed indefinitely… I know, it’s hard to believe. Apparently there is a laundry list of problems that the Kuwaiti contractor is trying to fix… nice oversight there guys… way to go.
Applaud: to a study that tells non-lemmings what we already knew. A wide-ranging study of abortion concluded that abortion rates are similar in countries where abortion is legal and those where it is illegal… meaning, for those of you who have trouble using your own brain, that outlawing the procedure does VERY little to deter women seeking it and, shockingly (sarcasm alert!) that abortions were found to be much more dangerous in countries where it was outlawed… (what else can be said?)
Heckle: to unwelcome, but not totally surprising, news. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey recently said that the Army will need “three or four years to recover from the strains of repeated deployments to Iraq”… even with the supposed drawdown of US forces next year… (And still, the administration is war-mongering towards Iran… what part of this equation do they NOT understand?
Applaud: to a bad week for Blackwater USA. Let’s see, the UN is urging the U.S. to establish some kind of process that would not only hold security contractors accountable for “unjustified killings” but would also ensure that offenses committed in Iraq by “all categories of U.S. contractor employees” would be “subject to prosecution.” And have I mentioned that this came on the heels that the Associated Press is reporting that the State Department is looking to “phase out or limit” the use of private security guards in Iraq,… meaing a more than likely cancelation of Blackwater USA’s contract with the US. And lest we forget, the Iraqi government also wants the U.S. to “sever all contracts” in Iraq with Blackwater within six months and pay $8 million in compensation to each of the families of the 17 people murdered by the firm’s guards last month. (Sucks to be them, doesn’t it. though it’s probably too little, too late…)
Heckle: to stupidity in the form of the Bush White House. For years a private monitoring group had access to al Qaeda’s Internet communications system… until the Bush(whacked) Administration got wind of it, leaked it, and the access was blocked… smooth move there guys…
Applaud: to the British think tank Oxford Research Group, who stated that, six years after 9/11, the “‘war on terror’ is failing” and is “fueling an increase in support for extremist Islamist movements.” The group went on to state that the sky is blue, water quenches your thirst and a “fundamental re-think is required” if al Qaeda is to be rendered ineffective… (why is is that people in foreign countries can see this, but many in this country can’t??)
Heckle: to grossly overstepping their bounds… The NSA and other government agencies retaliated against Qwest because the telephone company refused to go along with a phone spying program… what country do we live in again?
Applaud: to the ever-dropping approval ratings for Mr. Bush as his most recent job approval rating according to the latest Gallup poll is below his previous reading of 36%. Not being one who enjoys the misery of others… that’s a lie, I do… I won’t reveal the actual number other than saying that it’s approaching Nixonian levels… heh, heh, heh…
Heckle: to Rudy Giuliani. Apparently not expecting people to actually look into it, his campaign web site claims that he was responsible for the staggering growth of the New York City police force by 12,000 officers. Turns out that someone DID look into it and the actual increase was about 3,660, or about 10%. His assertion that it had something to do with 9/11 starts in five, four, three…
Applaud: to the news that federal investigators are hinting that a fresh wave of campaign-related theft and corruption investigations of Members of Congress are moving quickly and may mean that there are more indictments on the horizon… couldn’t have happened to a better group of people.
Applaud: to Colorado State Rep. Debbie Stafford for refusing to go over the cliff. She’s fed up with the gop and has left the republican party and joined the Democrats. Ouch, that ones gotta hoit…
Applaud: to John Cole. Read my earlier post and you’ll understand why…

And now it’s time for this week’s republican tool of the week. Lot to choose from, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin… but the one most-deserving in my eyes is Fox “News” Radio host John Gibson. Earlier this week, following the school shooting in Cleveland, he said on his radio program “All right, it turns out, though, the kid in Cleveland who did the shooting today -- three teachers, three students -- white. [...] And I could tell right away 'cause he killed himself. Black shooters don't do that; they shoot and move on.” (What a dumbass…). Just when you think the banter couldn’t get worse, it does as it turns out they’re trying to guess the race of the shooter so they can figure out what type of music to blame the shooting on… must be nice to live in a world that exists only in the minds of republicans. Makes it easier to be a biased, racist prick…
