I don&#8217;t think I approve of them making July 4th a Monday holiday but, well, what the hell.  If you&#8217;re planning on heading out to the park to grill up some veggie burgers and toss the old frisbee&reg; around, must be you don&#8217;t live in Minnesota.  Guess you better sit home and read a book instead.  Or maybe go to Wisconsin (as repugnant as that may be to you &#8211; just don&#8217;t feed the Supreme Court justices; they look all cute and everything, but they might bite, and some of them are rabid).  If you live in NY State&#8217;s Southern Tier, you better hit the parks as much as possible this summer, &#8216;cuz Jeezus only know what will become of them once Governor Snotball clears the way for hydrofracking the Marcellus Shale.  There may soon be a desolate void stretching from just to the south of Syracuse down to Harrisburg, PA.  <\/p>\n<p>I know Michele Bachmann is nuts and all that, but I happened to see her husband (I think his name is Randy) yesterday, and well, golly.  Seems like she could do better than that.  Aren&#8217;t there plenty of Krazy Kristian fishes in the sea (and, if not, couldn&#8217;t she have had her own personal Jesus turn some loves of bread into a good lookin&#8217; dude)?  <\/p>\n<p>Of course, you probably all (or should I say, &#8220;both&#8221;) saw the reason Randy made the news yesterday, and that was because he&#8217;s a Kristian &#8220;Kounselor&#8221; who de-gays people.  I think we all know what <strong><em>that<\/em><\/strong> means.   :nod: <\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, Mr. Crazy Bachmann says that &#8220;the gays&#8221; need to be disciplined and whatnot so that they won&#8217;t turn down the sinful path.  Clearly, Herr Bachmann must consider the sinful path a delightful path that takes a great deal of holiness (and discipline &#8211; nasty, nasty discipline, which I&#8217;m certain Michele is more than happy to mete out with whips, wearing a black leather bustier and spiked dog collar) to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>Now, maybe it&#8217;s me, but I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s fair.  Speaking on behalf of those of us who have never felt a desire to stick anything up the sinful path (not there&#8217;s anything wrong with that), it just doesn&#8217;t seem fair that God would plant that evil desire into some folks heads and not others.  If I didn&#8217;t know better, and if I was Mark Halperin, I might conclude that God was being kind of a dick.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m forced to conclude that Mr. Bachmann is yet another closeted, overcompensating dick.  Which would explain why he married the Lady Gaga of the Republican Party. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s supposed to be hot today, and since my shoulder is pretty much seized up tighter than a, um, something that&#8217;s seized up really tight, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be doing much of anything constructive.  Which is what holiday weekends are for, I guess.  <\/p>\n<p>BTW, if anybody knows where my sunglasses are, please let me know.  Somebody keeps hiding all my shit around here.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"425\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EBrFAJUPVeE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, the weekend is finally here, and it&#8217;s a holiday weekend, so it&#8217;s even better than a regular weekend.
