"Mitt Romney reminds me of the guy in high school who only has friends because his parents have a swimming pool. I agree with Ann Romney. We are VERY lucky to have Romney as the GOP candidate. It could have been someone competent." Chris Rock

How very patriotic of them.As the article mentions, can you imagine being a young, poor student and receiving a legal-looking document challenging your voter registration? If you're a student, you're probably wondering how you could afford legal counsel to defend your registration, which is already legal.
The Teabaggers, like the rest of the GOP, can't win on issues so they're determined to disrupt the vote. Remember what John always say: The Republicans accuse us (read: ACORN) of things we're not doing, but they are.

So Mitt Romney is now admitting that President Obama didn't raise taxes during his four years in office, even though up until now he's been telling everyone he did raise them.

Oh, man, Allen West gave us one helluva knee-slapper yesterday. The president addressed the United Nations, so logically West had to address Facebook. And he decided to give us a treat! Not only did he offer some commentary on the speech, but he also did a rip-roaring impression of himself that is such a good joke we only need to give it to you.
Allen West's proposed revision to Obama's U.N. address:
"The future does not belong to those who attack our Embassies and Consulates and kill our Ambassadors. The Angel of Death in the form of an American Bald Eagle will visit you and wreak havoc and destruction upon your existence."
Take THAT, diplomacy! READ MORE »

Here is a pressing question that might be keeping you up nights, particularly if you live in whatever district in Missouri Todd Akin (R-Ladiesman) represents: What if you want to tell Todd Akin how much he sucks? How do you know he will listen to you and absorb what is sure to be thoughtful and nuanced commentary about how much he sucks? Well, your Wonkette is here to help! It's very easy to get in touch with Todd Akin and tell him how much he sucks, you just write a check, preferably for a "substantial amount," and this will get his attention. Here, watch him explain to you in this video about how you get your Congressman's attention (hint: send him muneez.)

Mittens: GOP magic fairy dust and NASA
Romney and Ryan are still selling those good old GOP magic beans: That the government can do all manner of fantastic things with just a little bit of reorganization.
Republicans have been babbling for the last 32 years about how they can save money by reorganizing the Federal government. For 20 of those years, they have held the presidency. And what have they done? How many Federal agencies have they reformed to make them smaller?
George W. Bush created the most recent Cabinet-grade monstrosity: The Orwellian-named Department of Homeland Security, which is now the government entity charged with making sure that the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments mean nothing. Republicans have been in the forefront of ensuring that continues. They have shown no appetite for cutting off some of the hydra-heads of our national security state.
No, the only Federal agencies that the GOP has ever had a taste for blood about have been those that have tried to prevent banksters from robbing us blind or have tried to prevent corporations from fouling the air and water supplies of the nation.
Which should come as no shock to anyone.
The GOP ticket says it would refocus NASA, providing it with "practical and sustainable missions" rather than increasing funding. The agency said it spent over $18.4 billion dollars in fiscal year 2011, though its 2013 funding request was slightly lower - about $17.8 billion.So we should keep trying to expand space exploration, but not pay anything more to do it, because Mittens will do what-- close down the research centers and send NASA's jobs offshore?

Dancing with the Has-Beens star Brisket® Palin tells her fan (no typo) that American's hatred of her and her family inspires her to dance better: "I think that if I ever hear anything that's being said negatively about me or my family, that has given me motivation to want to do better." Well then, she ought to be ready for the NYC Ballet. (People)
