Today's signs that the Apocalypse may be upon us

Planking: Not illegal but police warn internet pranksters could face charges of trespass. What is the Internet but an effective way for people with way too much time on their hands to engage in natural selection.

FLASHBACK: In 1983, Reagan Warned Of ‘Incalculable Damage’ If Debt Ceiling Wasn’t Raised. Of course, Ronald Reagan wouldn’t stand a chance with today’s GOP.

“Quite often you hear people say, ‘What about separation of church and state?’ There is no such thing…”. Welcome to the New Theocracy….

GOP Congressman Afraid To Openly Criticize Afghanistan War. I can understand party discipline, but when a Republican Congressman is afraid to speak his mind for fear of retribution, something is horribly wrong.

Bill Maher: If you rejoice in revenge, torture and war …you’re not a Christian. This should be self-evident, but evidently some folks need a refresher on the basic tenets of the religion they profess to follow.

Manic Shoe-Licker Is the Latest NYC Subway Menace. It’s New York; the subway is like a petri dish for the strange and unbalanced. It’s performance art.

Healthcare Costs Double In Less Than A Decade. And there are those on the Right who can look at this and opine with a straight face that our health care system is just fine the way it is??

Anti-government “guru” explains doctrine. Ever heard of the sovereign citizen movement? Alfred Adask explains the straw man theory and other anti-government beliefs to “60 Minutes”. Angry White males who’ve convinced themselves that they are not bound by the laws that govern American citizens? What could possibly go wrong…except for a few dead policemen?

Another State To Slash Unemployment Benefits. Right. Blame the unemployed. Now THERE’S some inspired leadership.

Glenn Beck’s Weird Rally Will Be in Israel This Year. If Glenn Beck cries in a forest and no one is there to care, does he even make a sound?

Actually, “the Rich” Don’t “Create Jobs,” We Do. If you think that the phrase “job-killing taxes” is just so much GOP propaganda, you’re right.

Potential Juror In Terrorism Trial Wants Out, Has Oprah Tickets. Hey, c’mon…it’s Oprah!

Infuriating Twins Must Leave For Eternity, Court Rules. And let us never speak of the Winkelvoss twins again.

While John Kasich Cuts Education And Children’s Health Funds, He Spends Millions On Casino Consultants. Yep, those Republicans are ALL about JOBS, JOBS, JOBS…aren’t they??

The Right-Wing Talk-Radio Flame OutThe Right-Wing Talk-Radio Flame Out. Perhaps Americans are finally coming to grips with the reality that the haters and the blowhards have nothing constructive to add to the public discourse.

The Truth About GOP Hero Ayn Rand. The truth is that if Ayn Rand were alive today, she’d be Orly Taitz on Thorazine.
