Someone gets a pie to the puss…<\/p>\n

And when someone says something super serious, wait a beat<\/p>\n

Then their pants fall to the ground with no undies on<\/p>\n

\"\"(Circle is the “attention zone”)<\/p>\n

But in politics, nothing is funnier and sadder at the same time<\/p>\n

Than the collection of people in today’s Tea Party<\/p>\n

It’s white, older, middle-lower class voters who are upset being a minority<\/p>\n

\"\"(We did, sorry you can’t read)<\/p>\n

They’re mad an older white guy who looks like them isn’t in the White House<\/p>\n

So something must be wrong. They’re Archie Bunker come to life<\/p>\n

And they’re voting against their own interests solely for the wealthy<\/p>\n

It’s just an irrational low information hateful extension of right wing talk radio<\/p>\n

\"\"(Cue circus music)<\/p>\n

And FOX news channel. It’s also the Southern Faction of Republicans<\/p>\n

They’re working class white guys sitting in their car at lunch listening to it all<\/p>\n

But here is the rub, they actually believe all the lies. Why you ask?<\/p>\n

Cause getting to know “other people” is stupid. It’s work<\/p>\n

Dad always told me to “hate X”, so dad must be right<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Zing!)<\/p>\n

Forget about the time he staple gunned his own hand to the roof<\/p>\n

Or when he drove away from the gas pump with the filler gun still attached<\/p>\n

Or when he stuck his hand in the toilet to unclog it grabbing a huge turd<\/p>\n

If I label x, compartmentalize them, and rationalize, then my life is simple<\/p>\n

It allows me to live in a fake bubble where reality & facts are meaningless<\/p>\n

\"\"(It’s an actual person)<\/p>\n

Now it gets funny. You say, “But John, aren’t you now labeling them?”<\/p>\n

Yes, yes I am. But I’d argue there’s a MASSIVE difference between:<\/p>\n

Hating stupid people for active choices they make(racism) vs.<\/p>\n

Hating someone b\/c they’re born with a different genetic make-up than you<\/p>\n

Review: Hating someone for something they had no choice over is idiotic<\/p>\n

\"\"(That hat don’t lie)<\/p>\n

It makes me want to punch you in the throat with steel spiked gloves<\/p>\n

Then throw lava breathing Scorpions down your pants<\/p>\n

Especially when it has no effect at all on how you live your<\/em> life<\/p>\n

Do me a favor. Go to any clip on YouTube or ANY news article on Yahoo<\/p>\n

Just look past 3 comments before it’s racial, not germaine, & massively stupid<\/p>\n

\"\"(Zong)<\/p>\n

We already fought the civil war once, but with Right Wing talk radio\/FOX<\/p>\n

They’re clearly pounding the drums loudly ready to do it all over again<\/p>\n

And that’s not as funny a pie in the puss. It’s more like a bat to the crotch<\/p>\n

Then the knee, then the face, then the other knee…and those can hurt<\/p>\n

Have a day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
