    William K. Wolfrum’s Morning – July 29, 2010


    Look on the bright side – at least the Gulf of Mexico now looks super-bitchin’ under UV lighting.

    News/Politics

    Arizona Immigration Law: A federal judge strikes down parts of Arizona’s Illegal immigration law, meaning Jan Brewer will spend more of the state’s money on lawyers. And John McCain has a sad.

    Obama on The View: Obama goes on The View? How unpresidential. Better to be like Bush and go on “Dr. Phil.”

    Where’s the Oil?: It’s getting tougher and tougher to find oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Oh, it’s there, of course, it’s just been dispersed.

    Silver Lining: At least Exxon made a massive profit this quarter.

    Race to the Top: Obama touting his “Race to the Top” educational program. Texas already planning to call it a communist overthrow in their textbooks.

    Crack Sentencing: Congress takes a step closer to stopping the madness when it comes to exorbitant sentencing for crack cocaine laws.

    Science/Religion

    Interview with the Ex-Christian: Anne Rice says she still loves Christ, she’s just sick of Christianity, so she quit. Just like Jesus did.

    It’s Relative: We could be living in a black hole. Think about THAT.

    Colors, man: Some colorful illusions.

    God Particle: The Large Hadron Collider is already giving scientists a woody.

    Today’s Outrage

    Coal companies have finally figured out how to get coal more easily – just blow off the tops of mountains.

    Blogs

    Talking Points Memo: And we’re back to discussing Death Panels.

    Citizen Cohn: Liberals can be an apathetic bunch.

    Political Animal: Sure those that gave up their health to help on 9/11 are American heroes. That doesn’t mean the GOP wants to spend money on them, though.

    Finally

    Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will sign into law “Reagan Day.” So now, every Feb 6, no one is allowed to mention AIDS. To celebrate, let’s remember the time Reagan dedicated a Space Shuttle Flight to the freedom Fighters (Now called “Taliban”) of Afghanistan.

    I want AZ Governor Jan Brewer to show papers to prove she’s a human being. I think it was FOX that did a show on extraterrestrials that live among us, and Governor Brewer does resemble some alien from a B Movie. "Invasion of the Brain Snatchers", right? I’ve have my suspicions about beings like Jan Brewer, Mitch McConnell and Karl Rove because of their lack of human qualities.

    As far as the immigration issue goes… Republicans never made a big deal about immigration enforcement during Bush/Cheney but NOW all Republican hell is breaking loose… even though the Obama Administration is deporting MORE illegal’s than Bush ever did. Maybe we should adopt Ronald Wilson Reagan’s  immigration policy (look it up right-wing morons)

    And funny how I didn’t hear NOT ONE WORD on the Cable News about AZ Gov. Jan Brewer’s connection with the Corrections Corp of America. Not to mention I could stop this immigration problem with one thing… ARREST ALL THOSE conservative business people WHO ARE HIRING THE ILLEGAL WORKERS!  Republican Party = Hypocrisy

    On 7-28-10 I was watching Republicans on Morning Joe (MSNBC) preach about being ADULTS when it comes to our economic meltdown. I say BS! The real ADULTS are trying to demand accountability from those who got us in this financial mess. Republicans want to shift the burden of responsibility on Teachers unions and others in the American working class.

    I wonder if the spoiled Silver Spoons on Morning Joe knew how much they hurt Democrats, Progressives, Liberals when they didn’t challenge NJ Gov. Christie. NOW all over the internet the Conservative wacko groupies are swooning all over Christie like he was a rock star. Of course, because of these Republican low grade thought processes, the right wing monkeys now consider teachers, poor people and immigrants the biggest threat to our economy.    

    What kind of Americans are stupid enough to believe decent wages/working conditions, regulation, Wall St. reform and making the rich pay their fair share are BAD THINGS! Republicans will take tax dollars away from grade schools to give BP tax breaks/subsidies. DON’T BELIEVE ME, you rightwing numbskulls, CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELVES!
