Tired

There just isn't enough coffee to keep me awake today. I wish I could go home and sleep. Four hours of sleep, two days in a row, just isn't enough for me to function properly today. Fuck it, though. At least I have something to post about now.

Here's a song for everyone. It may be the best song ever written. I'm sure you all can relate.

Obama the socialist muslim antichrist

Well, this is just retarded Palin-American:

NEW YORK – On the heels of health care, a new Harris poll reveals Republican attitudes about Obama: Two-thirds think he's a socialist, 57 percent a Muslim—and 24 percent say "he may be the Antichrist."

...

"high percentages of Republicans—and Americans overall—believe that President Obama is "racist," "anti-American" "wants the terrorists to win" and "wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to a one-world government."


Source: Opinion: Scary new GOP poll

These beliefs would be laughable if the percentages and overall stupidity levels weren't so high. What world do these people live in? Are there broad swaths of the American public that drink gasoline and eat lead-based paint chips for dinner?

Additional findings include:

45 percent of Republicans (25 percent overall) agree with the Birthers in their belief that Obama was "not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president" [and] 38 percent of Republicans (20 percent overall) say that Obama is "doing many of the things that Hitler did"

I wonder, are these people so far off the deep end that they'll never be able to come back?

Do the even know what they're mad about?

Clearly, calling them retarded and stupid isn't enough or nice, even if it is gratifying.

Undo! Undo! Undo!

So the Republicans are already working to fight the "big fucking deal" healthcare bill signed by Obama earlier today:

14 Attorneys General are suing to stop the bill as unconstitutional.

Rep. Steven King (R-Iowa) has a bill ready for the House to repeal it (PDF).

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) and a handful of Republicans have a Senate bill worked up.

Here's the Senate Bill:

TEXT of Senator DeMint’s bill to Repeal ObamaCare: To repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. REPEAL.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the amendments made by that Act, are repealed.

I'd be lying if I said their outrage didn't amuse me.

When these attempts fail, what will they do next? Secede?

I'm still unclear on what rights and liberties are lost by enacting this bill.

To be fair, I'm not impressed with the mandate to buy insurance from private companies. I still think that aspect is a mistake, but maybe it will provide an opportunity for something better in the future. The bill should have, minimally, included a public option. Unfortunately the Democrats gave up on that early in the process.

Single-payer was never an option, though it should have been.

Maybe we'll get that in another 103 years.
