    I love the "President Trump?" banner ad at the bottom of this page on my computer.

    There was little quite so painful as poor Charlie Steiner being saddled with the use of stupid catch phrases (. . . the Generals marching left to right . . .) while doing the radio broadcasts. Unlike the sight-impaired Sterling, Steiner obviously had little choice in the matter.

    Limbaugh is not dismissive of the birthers.

    Levin, it seems, waffles between dismissing them and embracing them.

    The problem for anyone courting a right-wing audience -- either for election or talk-show ratings -- is there are still so many fucking birthers out there. I'm not sure whether Limbaugh really believes the birthers, or he just says he does because he knows he'll lose a lot of his audience otherwise.

    We have a congressman who told a TV reporter at the Capitol that the birther stuff was insane, there was no question Obama was born in the US, and it was imperative that fellow conservatives focus on real issues.

    One week later he was caught on tape telling a townhall group in his backwater district that he was going to spearhead an investigation to find our where Obama was really from, and how fearful he was that a Kenyan Muslim had been elected to destroy America.

    Listening to the Levin show for more than about five minutes is like dropping by your local humane society dog shelter after a rabies epidemic sweeps the population and heavy doses of LSD are dumped into the drinking water.

    Never let anyone say you can't paint a picture Starman.
    By the way, ditto.

    Levin's vocal timbre is something not even dogs should have to endure . . . in comparison, nails on chalkboards are a pleasantry . . . not to mention his broad overall douchery.

    BTW, O'Donnell's rant about the budget yesterday with the info about the birth control holdup was amazing. He ended it choked up, nearly in tears.

    Crocodile tears. He wasn't choked up at all until he was finished.

    I hate to be a dick, but I'm not sure why tax dollars need to go to this.

    Like NPR, if it's important to enough people, they could raise money for facilities like this.

    I don't get the argument that it's "anti-woman" to be against funding Planned Parenthood.

    Also, for anyone who is trying, it's pretty easy to avoid getting pregnant even if the woman isn't on birth control medication.
