. . . and anyone who doesn’t realize that the hysterical wingnut myth of Obama martial law is rooted in racism–in the Secesh’s subconscious dread of another Nat Turner seeking revenge upon the oppressor and the wannabe oppressor–is a damn fool.

Say Yes to the Dress Down 0
Is it just me, or is the silly season starting early this year?
Harrison and another woman on Wednesday got into an argument at Restore Our Community over an upcoming fashion show the clients were preparing for, according to a police report. An employee told police she saw the two women arguing about “who was going to wear a particular dress in the show.”
Multi-Tasking Is Bunk 0
Turns out we really can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
Flash Point 0
Too many cameras at too many events in the hands of too many narcissistic prima donnas leads to no good.
Officers responding to the episode reported that the fight started when words were exchanged over one of the men blocking others by taking a photograph.
“Physical altercation,” indeed.
Afterthought:

Six-minute cartoons that are three hours long. Who woulda thunk?
Republican Family Values 0
One more time: Republican Family Values (TM) are a con, a fraud, and a flim-flam, hot air you can use to dry your socks, as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal, signifying nothing.

They aren’t who you think they are, as The Bangor Daily News explains. A snippet (emphasis added):
Following the money, the focus should be on provider fraud, not demonizing individual recipients of benefits.
“We shouldn’t ignore eligibility fraud,” (Maine–ed.) Attorney General Janet Mills said last year. “We shouldn’t ignore recipient fraud; we shouldn’t ignore any allegations that somebody is getting state or federal benefits who isn’t really eligible for them, but the big fish are the corporations, the major pharmaceutical companies and the providers that have been ripping off the state Medicaid program for years to the tune of millions of dollars.”
Think about that the next time you see one of those commercials for something you probably don’t need at a price which goes unstated along with assurances that it’s “covered by Medicare.”
