Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages gather round and listen close. If you’ve ever been brushing your tooth or doing your makeup with your non-smoking hand and thought to yourself, “wow, if only I could meet THE Sunshine Empire” then you may just get your wish. Come meet me and friends down at Megacon in Orlando this Saturday. True I wont have a booth or any official location, but don’t let that stop you kidos. Just walk around the convention hall yelling our domain name over and over. If you’re our 17th caller we might not run away and actually acknowledge you. Regardless we’ll see you there.

Jon Stewart throughly cuts holes in the current al-Qaeda Seven garbage and most of the spurious straw men that the right often use to scare up votes.

Back at the beginning of the year conservatives worked feverishly to elect Scott Brown to the United States Senate. The imperial Obama administration was running roughshod over the will of the people who had so overwhelmingly elected him in 2008. The Democratic supermajority in the Senate had so quickly rammed through a health care reform bill over the course of the second longest debate in the history of the body, and all seemed lost. Tea Party enthusiasts made Scott Brown their savior and hoped he would be the bulwark that would keep the Democrats agenda from coming to an up or down vote, thus defeating Obamunism. Millions of Americans from all walks of life flocked to the polls on January 19th, from California, to Alabama to Alaska to Massachusetts to vote in the Massachusetts special election and to bring change to that Massachusetts senate seat. Luckily for baby Jesus and America, Scott Brown heard their call.
A funny thing happened on the way to Washington. While Brown had basically endorsed a health care reform plan that was almost a carbon copy of candidate Obama’s, end-zone dancing Earl Gray ingrates and conservatives assumed that he was a fellow traveler in every respect. The same crowd that exclaimed “Good riddance” to RINO Arlen Specter were proclaiming the newly elected Senator Brown the new Ronald Reagan. When Senator Brown voted simply to allow an up-or-down vote on the jobs bill, his paramours on the right reacted with bitter rage. Despite finding that he was a RINO moderate from Massachusetts, the right still peppers their talking points still with references to the special election being a victory for conservatism. This is just one example of how blind Obama hate from the right has found them in with strange bedfellows.
The Rep. Massa situation is another brilliant example of the right’s eagerness to latch onto anything that could be used against Obama, without thinking it through. Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh both initially seemed to jump on Rep. Massa’s assertions against Rahm Emanuel and his health care reform bill claims. After finding out that by all accounts Massa is a closeted homosexual and by all account crazy, they’ve all had to back away slowly. There’s no doubt that Republicans will make gains in the mid-term elections, yet they should be careful to not create another end zone dance for every minor occurrence 9 months before the election.
