US House of Representatives to Do Self-Examination

The US House of Representatives—for our European readers, formerly an organ of governance but of late  performance art for rednecks, simpletons and venial bastards of every variety imaginable—has voted with a modest majority to perform medical examinations upon each other. House Ethics Committee Chairman Daryl Issa (R CA), a former car thief, announced today that on the coming August 1 “We’ll just pair up on the House floor and perform prostate exams on each other. This will prove that Obama’s Big Government takeover of doctoring is  socialist and too expensive. Americans just want to take care of themselves.”

What's going on? (4.00 / 1)

Is Left in Alabama really morphing into a promotional venue for Huntstville's mentally-deficient version of The Onion? 



We like to encourage other left-leaning organizations (4.00 / 1)

And we've always encouraged people who blog here and also write elsewhere to tell our readers where to find them. RCB isn't everyone's cup of tea so if you've clicked once and don't like it, just ignore any future links.

But also, please let us know about any other lefty blogs or websites you do like so we can link to them as well.  Community building is something we ought to do much more of because growing the progressive community is essential to changing Alabama for the better.

and a quite personal thing.

It's funny that I always loved Monty Python, Mel Brooks, etc. while my mother always sniffed that they were "stupid."  She also told me that she doesn't watch "The Daily Show" because it tires her out "having to think" while she watches.

I could only sigh....   :-)

Onions? (0.00 / 0)
I'm not at all sure why onions should be subject to abuse. As to their alleged 'mentally deficient' nature, well, we don't know, do we? They are generally speaking too quiet for us to know. And look on the bright side. White onions look like opalescent pearls, button onions are cute, and red onions lend a kind of piquancy to an otherwise bland salad.
