Senator Snowe Retiring
Maine Senator Olympia Snowe
announced she was not going to seek re-election, citing the "atmosphere of polarization and 'my way or the highway' ideologies..." Of course, Snowe does not mention it is
her party, beholden to Teabagging lunatics like Frothy, Lizardboy, and Mittens, that has been displaying those tendencies.
It will be interesting to see who fills the void. Maine has a Teabagger governor, Fat Ass Paul LePage, a Rethuglican/Teabagger majority in both state houses, two Rethuglican Senators (Snowe and Susan Collins) and two Democratic Representatives (Mike Michaud in northern Maine and Chellie Pingree in the southern part of the state). I don't think a Democrat stands a snowflake's chance in hell, in that our illustrious voters -- at the behest of the Teabaggin', Bible-thumpin', hooker-humpin', sister-marryin', rifle-rack-in-the-pickmup, neocon wingnut idjits -- supported a "people's veto" of marriage equality... a veto funded by a bunch of out-of-state ultra-conservative whackjobs who are suing to maintain their anonymity, since they, like the rest of their ilk, are violently allergic to the light of day.
I fear that Fat Ass will prevail upon Snowe to resign early, so that Fat Ass can, in turn, resign as governor (like his Teabaggin idol, Caribou Barbie), so that his successor can appoint Fat Ass to Snowe's seat, giving him a foot up in the next campaign.
Breitbart Dead
Right-wing blogger, famous for playing fast and loose with facts, Andrew Breitbart has
died of natural causes, according to authorities. The far-right-wing whackjobs have decided that President Obama had Breitbart whacked, due to Breitbart's possession of a video of Obama that "proves" our duly-elected President is the devil incarnate, or a Muslim, or a Martian, or something.
Why don't you kids go away somewhere and let the grown-ups run things, 'kay?
Sauce for the Goose, Sauce for the Gander
The Maine Tea Party Patriot party -- better known as Maine's Teabaggin lunatic fringe -- claims unswerving loyalty to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Maine.
One small problem:
Maine's state treasurer, Bruce Poliquin.
The state Constitution states the treasurer "shall not, during the treasurer's continuance in office, engage in any business of trade or commerce, or as a broker, nor as an agent or factor for any merchant or trader."
Poliquin, who was appointed treasurer by Fat Ass Paul LePage, has continued to operate at least two separate business during his tenure.
State Rep Mark Dion, an attorney and former sheriff, asked the state's Attorney General if Poliquin's activities were within the constraints of the Constitution. The AG, William Schneider -- also appointed by Fat Ass -- said that Poliquin should "disassociate himself from active management" of his businesses and "not appear before any governmental bodies on behalf of entities that he owns."
Since Poliquin decided to ignore the AG's recommendations, Dion is now asking the Maine Supreme Judicial Court for a ruling.
It'll be interesting to see if the Teabaggin lunatics support the Constitution or their Teabaggin buddy. I know where
my wager is going.
Girl Scouts: Cookie Monsters or Gay-Agenda, Pro-Abortion Terrorists?
Some useless little state rep in Indiana, Bob Morris, is
terrified of the green-clad harbingers of doom known as the Girl Scouts, claiming they are the “tactical arm” of Planned Parenthood, a “radicalized” group with a homosexual agenda that promotes abortion while seeking “the destruction of traditional American values.”
Hey, dude, go back home and don't bother the grown-ups anymore, okay?
