Peak wing-nut?

It's funny how the left's rage is only portrayed for a news cycle or two (banking fiasco, iraq war, etc.) but the right's rage has been displayed on the nightly news for over a week now. When will it start to get a little too ho-hum to keep showing some angry middle-aged white person afraid of losing their country?

Are we nearing peak wing-nut?

LOVE it! Keep hammering how outside the norm these CEOs and top managers are. Most Americans think we should not tax the rich because they might be rich someday too. If by rich, they mean 100-220K/year, then maybe. If by rich they mean $5 million+/year, dream on. Actually, stop dreaming. Wake up to reality. We need more tax brackets so we don't lump the $200K/year crowd in w/the $20M/year crowd. But of course, the richies want it that way. The bigger to top bucket, the more people to complain against increases.

Malkin's crazy right wing talking point: "People are LAZY"

Malkin Spews on ABC

If TANF or unemployment were so great, we'd ALL want to be on them. No one in their right mind would ever choose unemployment or TANF over a good job. There just aren't enough good jobs.

Malkin forgets that not everyone is mentally or physically equipped for a job. It's sad but true. But, it's much easier and more satisfying for her and others like her to scream "LAZY!" than to really address that fact.

Malkin reminds me of someone who'd look at someone else who has to strap themselves into the dialysis chair twice a week and say "Jeez, I don't have diabetes and YOU shouldn't either. Buck up and get a job"

His holiness, the Bishop of San Pedro, Paraguay

Independent

It was shocking enough when the first woman stepped forward asserting that she had had a child with President Lugo, 57, who assumed power on a wave of popularity just eight months ago. It is worth bearing in mind that before running for president he was a prominent Catholic bishop.

The President not only acknowledged the truth in the startling claims of Viviana Carrillo, 26. According to local media reports, he even opened his palace to her and the child, who is now almost two. Seemingly, they are settling in well. The child has even adopted his name.

But before the country knew how to react – it is at once overwhelmingly Catholic but is also a macho society that may consider the procreational activities of its leader a sign of fortitude – two more shoes or, rather, babies, dropped. A second purported mother of a Lugo child vowed to file a paternity suit against him on Monday. And yet another woman popped up on Wednesday with more Lugo offspring.

Bet the Catholic radio stations won't be touting this story. Ah yes, his holiness and his holy rod and his holy staff. How lovely. How absolutely within the confines of the "do as I say, not as I do" crowd that tend to rise in the ranks of the large conservative denominations. I hope Paraguay is proud. I hope Bush has several meetings with his holiness/President Lugo when he visits his ranch in Paraguay. They can talk about the foundations of society and the holiness of matrimony and other such lofty matters.
