I feel the need for some wingnuts I can laugh at without also cringing. And lo, they provide!
It’s very clear what side President Obama is on here in Wisconsin. Behind the stage where he will speak today are two flags: an American one, as usual, and right alongside it — and a flag for the local union, Wisconsin 1848.
This would be from Obama's visit to Masterlock yesterday. And the flag in question is the Wisconsin state flag. [link]
Unions get flags? I want a flag.
Dear women of Oklahoma,
California is quite nice almost year round, and we consider you to be people.
Love,
California
I want to join Local 1848.
Thanks for sparking my nightmares!
Just call me the ita ! of literary allusions.
Oh, jesus, I saw a reference to that Wisconsin flag story earlier, and I could not work out what they were talking about. I've never seen the Wisconsin state flag before, and that's all that flag could be in my head. A Wisconsin 1848 union flag made and continues to make no sense.
Someone give me money, okay?
Right, tripping on down the list of random things I recorded, and now it's Something Borrowed, which is Ginnifer Goodwin being totally man-stupid again, and I don't understand a) how these movies get made and b) why I feel a compulsion to actually watch the crap I recorded during some obviously more hormonal moment.
And, basically, I don't effectively get hormonal.

I think he was thinking 1848 was a union local number.

I get that, but it's sufficiently stupid that I don't get it as a destination. Are there really *that* many jobs titled Wisconsin that they get union representation?

Also that there are 1848 chapters of the "Wisconsin" union.
I don't what's bugging me worse today about all the wicked politics, the stupid people or the evil people. Or that that the evil people are stupid. I don't have the energy to argue with all the stupid! You have to start so far back into their base assumptions and they're filled to the brim with misinformation, falsehood and petty resentments. That's why I need Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart. I might have to watch them both tonight.
My hope is that the stupidity eventually proves to ineffectual and blundering, but my fear is that stupidity is just the right way to win elections in America.
