"I
think I'm the best person for the job because I understand how the
economy actually works. I understand the world; who's in it."
Carly Fiorina, announcing her candidacy to be the 2016 Republican presidential nominee, said that.
Yes she did.
This would be the same Carly Fiorina who almost ran Hewlett-Packard into the ground. Along the way, she laid off 30,000 workers, while giving herself large bonuses.
When she was finally ousted by the H-P Board of Directors, she walked away with a Golden Parachute worth an estimated 40 million dollars.
Hey, she does understand how the economy works! For some people...
Wow. Just when you thought the Klown Kar couldn't possibly get any, uh, klownier....it does!
With Letterman and Jon Stewart retiring, I was worried about the state of comedy in these troubled times.
No need! We can always count on The Republican Party to be a consistently reliable source of both mad cap zaniness, and groundbreaking political satire 24-7 365!

Whatever...
So Bill-o O'Reilly-o is a, what's the word? Oh yeah, liar.
This is something that anybody with a functioning brain realized many years ago.
Of course that leaves out the vast Fox News' audience.
And so it won't make any difference to them.
Just like it doesn't make any difference to Fox News's owners.
That would be Rupert Murdoch and his Saudi partners.
Lying, as Jon Stewart pointed out, is their brand.
And they've made a pretty penny off of it. That's all that matters...
So, naturally, they are happy to let Bill-o bluster and brag and distort and threaten to his heart's content.
Oh yes, and by all means, continue to lie. About everything and everyone.
Because, repeat after me, "nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."
On the contrary, there are vast fortunes to be made from it.

Someone gets it right about the Republicans
I was watching "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" tonight and I heard Jon's guest define the modern Republican party better than any I've ever heard. Mansour O. el-Kakhia, chair of the Political Science department at the University of Texas - San Antonio (that bastion of liberalism), said this about Republicans:
"Many, not all, but many, Republicans have the intellect of George [W.] Bush, the morality of [Silvio] Berlusconi, and the heart of [Vladimir] Putin."
I can't imagine a more on-point definition of the modern Republican party.
