Between Sarah Palin becoming a paid political analyst for Fox News which is like making the Pillsbury dough boy a nutritional analyst, Harry Reid’s poor choice of words over a year ago, the same-sex marriage ban challenge trial going on in federal court in San Francisco, and the closed-door negotiations to merge the House and Senate bills into one that president Obama can sign into law before his State of the Union speech in a few weeks, there’s not too much political news to write about this week.
Since We, the PEOPLE!!‘s first blog article two and a half years ago, this week could very well be the week the more meaty political news forgot to show up. The news outlets are full of stories (as they should be) about the devastating earthquake in Haiti. which is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere, It will need a lot of help recovering from this tragedy. Everyone can do something, even it’s just a small amount of money or energy. To choose the best way for you to assist, click HERE.
In the meantime, We, the PEOPLE!! will continue to monitor the news waves for juicy tidbits of significant political bull$#!t, and will comment on them as they arrive in all of their hate-mongering and/or fear-mongering glory. However, expect us to interrupt regularly scheduled life-activities to announce the winner of the “first person to catch Sister Sarah’s first use of the pseudo-political term “golly-gee”" on Fox News. Extra credit will be given for a YouTube video of the climatic moment. And if you can catch her saying “Gosh Darn It”, the award will be even greater.
Sometimes it’s best to simply sit back and watch from the sidelines. This week seems the perfect time to do that. Next week, on the other hand, promises to be filled with much more to comment on, not the least of which just might be a threatened constitutional challenge from the GOP to the democrat’s health care reform bill.
Yep! Along with wanting a constitutional amendment banning certain medical procedures, namely abortion, and another one banning certain freedoms of expression, such as burning a flag in protest (which would bestow upon an article of sewn cloth more rights then on the American citizen who sewed it), these folks also want to prevent health care reform by arguing that mandating the purchase of health insurance by all citizens is unconstitutional. In other words, make poor people have to use extremely expensive emergency rooms which they can never afford anyway for their health care needs. The rest of us pay for that now, anyway, through higher health insurance premiums. And what’s wrong with that system?? Nothing, according to Rush, who spent some time in a hospital recently and said nothing needed to change!
Hey, here’s an idea: How about a constitutional amendment banning stupidity from politics?
