There are simply too many of these to post individually, so I'm planning to use this as a catch all.

First, we have the tea party/birther State Rep. Stella Tremblay of New Hampshire who claims the Boston bombing was carried out by our own government to distract us from war crime charges against  former President Bush and President Obama.  She read something supporting this idea on Infowars and found further support when her sister agreed with her.  She's also like to visit a bombing victim who lost both legs in the attack to see if his injuries are real.

The only proper response to this is "Go to Hell, Tremblay."

The other story is from the National Monitor under the headline "Caterpillar announces second round of layoffs; Is Obama to blame?"  There's not a hint of any specific Obama administration policy that brought about this layoff.  Instead, the article says that a downturn in foreign sales is responsible.

The categories under their masthead include: Hollywood, movies, celebrities, TV, style, music, and photos. I don't think they're capable of any heavy lifting when it comes to editorials on politics, business, or foreign affairs - unless those affairs include something about hiking the Appalachian Trail and South American bimbos.

Finally, Sally Kern's husband, Steve, will file to run for the state senate seat in district 40.  If he wins, should we expect it will drag the collective IQ of the Oklahoma state senate even lower? (See!  I can do the Glenn Beck thing too!)

It's been a very productive weekend!
