Steve in Manhattan

20090811_falling_packageMaking her first appearance, Anna Falling:

Republican mayoral candidate Anna Falling said Tuesday that putting a Christian creationism display in the Tulsa Zoo is No. 1 in importance among city issues that include violent crime, budget woes and bumpy streets.

“It’s first,” she said to calls of “hallelujah” at a rally outside the zoo. “If we can’t come to the foundation of faith in this community, those other answers will never come. We need to first of all recognize the fact that God needs to be honored in this city.”

Yeah, who the fuck needs sewer and water?

grassleywebBack again this week, it’s Senator Chuck Grassley:

Americans should be scared of provisions in a health care bill currently in the U.S. House because it will allow the government to have a say in end-of-life decisions, Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley told a crowd of more than 300 Wednesday morning.

“In the House bill, there is counseling for end of life,” Grassley said. “You have every right to fear. You shouldn’t have counseling at the end of life, you should have done that 20 years before. Should not have a government run plan to decide when to pull the plug on grandma.”

If he keeps this shit up he might win Douchebag of the Month.

Beck won’t be happy until a few administration officials are assaulted and perhaps killed. Then he’ll weep on the air, claiming it’t not his fault.

No. Just as Bill O’Reilly was a “factor” in the death of Dr. Tiller, Beck will have blood on his hands.

Didn’t he learn when he got the shit kicked out him in ’06?

(Newser Summary) – The list of Republican presidential hopefuls just keeps getting longer. Former Sen. Rick Santorum will make the first of several scheduled trips to Iowa in October, reports Politico. The conservative Santorum, of course, isn’t explicitly calling it a scouting trip for 2012, but he acknowledged he wants a bigger role in the party. “Your voice becomes more amplified when you go to a place like Iowa or New Hampshire,” he said.

“This is an opportunity for me to go out and talk about things I think we need to be doing to turn this country in the right direction.”
