Stupid Republican idea of the day

No youtube at work. What’s Fox on about?

Puppy.

They found an algebra word problem that contained the phrase, “spread the wealth.” This is evidence of liberal bias in text-books.

Seriously. That’s it.

It was “Distribute the wealth,” presumably in reference to the Distributive property of multiplication:
a(b + c) = ab + ac*

Math. No even once.

You know once you start distributing property, that’s all she wrote for democracy.

Sandy Hook Truthers think that the massacre in Newtown was staged, possibly by Obama so he could enact gun control legislation.

It wasn’t a word problem. It was just a punning title for a series of exercises applying the distributive property.

Well. I suck. I had it wrong six-ways to Sunday.

But I was close.

Wow - That’s pretty powerful stupid right there. Even getting it second hand like that, I feel dumber.

I’m sorry, but reading this article this conspiracy just doesn’t ring true. They say that the children of Sandy Hook are actually still alive. There is no way Obama would leave the kids alive as witnesses. Heck he would probably kill them just for the fun of it, or to use their blood for his Ramadan cakes.

It’s been tried (unsuccesfully) before.

Nullification:

The secession of the Southern States in 1860/61 would be nullification of the election of Lincoln.

South Carolina Representatives introduced a bill to outlaw compliance with Affordable Health Care. Another nullification law.

It’ is progressing through their system:

I think the nullification champs are still in the GameCock state. Their unlucky populace is a bunch of chumps.

Are we discussing the Shanghai Lil Bill?

Fox News: If Republicans refusing to raise the debt ceiling crashes the economy, it’ll be Obama’s fault for telling everyone that they were going to do it.

Dada idea of the day:

Yes, it has to be guns. Everything else we are doing with our kids is good. Found in toy dept for kids age 6 MONTHS+ https://twitter.com/glennbeck/status/280876630023475200/photo/1

Picture is of a Fisher-Price “Apptivity Case”–which appears to be a way to encase an iPhone in what appears to be a Fisher-Price toy. All very surreal, but unclear what it has to do with gun violence.

I give Beck credit, I’ve wasted a couple of minutes in sheer bewilderment. HuffPost linked to it in confusion, I pass the confusion on to you. I’m so sorry.

I think he is saying letting 6-months-olds play with a protected smart phone is what actually caused the school shooting. Somehow. Which means that he thinks that either(in order of descending sanity):

a. Babies are getting to pampered today and it is driving some people to violence because they were not so lucky.
b. Babies playing with smart phones send out mind control rays that cause shootings.
or
c. Babies playing with phones create tachyon pulses that fry the brains of the innocent youth of yesterday causing them to grow up and commit violent acts.

We crypto-Kenyanists don’t need to call out the GOP on its stupidities. The few remaining sane Republicans are now doing it for us:

[QUOTE=Colin Powell]
There is a “dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party,” Powell said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “What do I mean by that? What I mean by that is they still sort of look down on minorities.”

“When I see a former governor say that the president is ‘shuckin’ and jivin’.’ That’s a racial era slave-term,” Powell said of Sarah Palin’s description of the president’s response to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

“[Sununu] didn’t say [the President] was slow [in the first debate], he was tired, he didn’t do well. He said he was ‘lazy.’ Now, it may not mean anything to most Americans,” Powell said, “but to those of us who are African-Americans, the second word is ‘shiftless,’ and then there’s a third word that goes along with it.”


“The whole birther movement: Why do senior Republicans tolerate this kind of discussion within the party?” Powell asked, counseling the party to “take a look at itself.”

We begin with what seems to be a heartwarming story indicating that even crossing Gollum with Voldemort can’t eradicate every good impulse…

…or can it?

Upon further probing, it was discovered that the dog was returned not long after Governor Scott settled in to his new digs, apparently because it kept barking at him.

Well, that’s not so bad. I assumed he’d eaten it.

Link.

Who had bets on early January?
