A Teabagger Divorce

A judge was interviewing a woman with teabags hanging off her hat and asked, “What are the grounds for your divorce?”

She replied, “About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by.”

“No,” he said, “I mean what is the foundation of this case?”

“It is made of concrete, brick and mortar,” Ms. Teabag responded.

“I mean,” he continued, “What are your relations like?”

“I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband’s parents.”

He said, “Do you have a real grudge?”

“No,” she replied, “We have a two-car carport and have never really needed more than one.”

“Please,” he tried again, “is there any infidelity in your marriage?”

“Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don’t necessarily like the music, but the answer to your question is ‘yes’.”

“Ma’am, does your husband ever beat you up?”

“Yes,” she responded, “about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do.”

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, “Lady, why do you want a divorce?”

“Oh, I don’t want a divorce,” she replied. “I’ve never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He said he can’t communicate with me, but I have no idea what he’s talking about.”

“Before I grant your divorce,” said the exasperated judge, “do you have anything else to say?”

“Yes, this is all Obama’s fault. We wouldn’t be getting a divorce if that Black Muslim atheist wasn’t president and hadn’t undermined the institution of marriage with his fascist Nazi food stamps!”

Brewer Raising Money From Finger-Pointing Tarmac Stunt with Obama

Jan Brewer, the truly horrible woman who is the present Republican Governor of Arizona, is using her little finger-pointing stunt to raise money for her reelection campaign and and sell her book.  Apparently Brewer doesn’t realize how loathed she is by everyone but the minority of bitter white racists in her state; even business interests, which have lost billions in tourist dollars and cancelled convention trade thanks to her embarrassing SB1070 “Show me your papers” law, will be opposing her reelection. Add to that the energized and fast-growing number of Hispanic voters who will be eager to dump Brewer, and you have the recipe for a landslide for her Dem opponent.  Obama nearly won the state in 2008; he may succeed this year.  Here’s Brewer’s cheesy fundraising letter, from her official JanPAC website:

Friends,

I need your help!

When I met President Obama this week, I really wasn’t pointing at him. I was telling him, “You have ONE more year!” The President needs to be reminded that he is the President of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC and not a KING lording over state governors.

While I wanted to talk to him about jobs, our economy and visiting our border, President Obama criticized my book, Scorpions for Breakfast, and then walked away from me.

We deserve results over rhetoric, but this is a President who had the audacity to sue me and Arizona in my efforts to protect our country from illegal immigration!

Donate today to Jan PAC and help me stop President Obama in 2012 and others like him who are taking our country down the wrong path.

Thank you for your support,

Clueless Romney Does It Again

Of course Mitt is lying here; his economic plan rewards himself and his wealthy friends at the expense of the middle class. As NBC’s Mark Murray notes:

[Romney] “But my campaign is focused on middle income Americans. My campaign – you can choose where to focus. You can focus on the rich. That’s not my focus. You can focus on the very poor. That’s not my focus.”

(In fact, according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, the largest benefits of Romney’s tax plan go to the wealthy, not the middle class.)

Read the rest here.

More Weird Pix 2/1/12

Not political,  just strange:

1. “That’s right, son, you just pull the trigger there between Batman’s legs to fire and fill it with more water where that plug is in his butt — uh, er, hey, wait a minute…”

2. “I tell you I saw something out there!  It was like a cat sitting on a clear glass table, just hovering there in the air…”

3. “That’s right, that’s how Volkwagen makes the new Beetles.”

4. “Oh, honey, how can I ever thank you! What a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day!”

5. Plus the really unfortunate headline I just saw at MSN.com: “Scores Dead in Soccer Riot.”
