If, as some believe, trailer parks are 'tornado magnets',

perhaps nuclear power plants are 'earthquake magnets'.

There are three kinds of publicans. First, there's the

publican as tax collector, like Matthew, Jesus's disciple.

Second, there's the publican as tavernkeeper, like

Samuel Fraunces, friend of George Washington. Third,

there's the publican as Republican, like Eric Cantor,

corporate lickass.

In the 1950s, there was a lot of talk about 'Communist

Fronts', like, say, the Friends of the Soviet Union. Those

are now gone, replaced by 'Corporate Fronts', like, say,

the Obama Administration.

In an attempt to compensate for its size, the frog asks that we

And Mitt Romney thought within himself, saying, "What shall

I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?"

And he said, "This will I do: I will pull down my barns,

and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits

and my goods. And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, thou hast

much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease,

eat, drink, and be merry'."

The Tea Party was over in Iowa, and, honest to God,

everybody left without even offering them a cup

of tea.

"Sarah Palin told me to tell you that the only reason she

prefers you over the Tea Party candidate is because she

 has a weakness for gray-headed Mormons who wear 

lavender neckties."

If, as Karl Rove is predicting, Sarah Palin will announce her

run for the Republican presidential nomination on Labor

Day weekend, will she do it at her favorite donut shop,

 thereby cementing her

relationship to her

Spudnut base?

"We're so sorry, Representative Bachus, but

summertime activities among climate skeptics living in

the gated communities of Texas and Oklahoma.

Now that Tim Pawlenty's seat is empty in the GOP

Game of Musical Chairs, former New York governor

George Pataki is said to be giving serious consid-

eration to filling it.  Asked why he might run as

'Elmer Pataki', he explained that 'George Pataki'

is widely perceived to be a RINO and doesn't stand

 a chance of winning the nomination.

Not that long ago they were called 'Crony Capitalists'.  And

then, seemingly overnight, they became 'Corny Capitalists'.

When he was first elected as a Republican to

 the U. S. House of Representatives in 2004,

Michael McCaul's net worth was $12 million. 

Seven years later, in 2011, his net worth is

now $294 million, which makes him the

wealthiest member of Congress.  And

how, it's fair to ask, did he increase his

net worth by 2,350% in just seven years? 

He did it the old-fashioned way---by

accepting large monetary transfers

from his wife's family.

For some unknown reason, this is one of Mitch Daniels'

favorite gestures.

The $13 billion, 1,700 mile pipeline proposed by TransCanada,
the Keystone XL, would begin in Alberta in western
Canada and pass through the US states of Montana,

South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma before

ending up in Texas at the Gulf of Mexico. It will be used

to carry oil from Texas to Canada and socialized

medicine from Canada to Texas.
