If anybody wants to know what my political position is — and I admit it’s not a particularly sophisticated political position but — my position is this:
.
I’ve never been able to decide who is more of a threat to my civil liberties and general well-being: the assholes on the left, or the assholes on the right. And the people in the middle, well, they’re probably assholes, too.
.
Politics. Sheesh. Oh well, at least its occasionally good for a laugh.

This was just too hilarious. The other day they dragged the former head of the IRS Douglas Shulman’s sorry ass in front of Congress to, as they say, Explain His Position. Shulman admitted he found out about the IRS scandal “sometime in the Spring of 2012” (for those of you keeping score at home, that’s a full year ago). And he assured Congress that “I very much regret that this happened on my watch.”
But apparently Shulman doesn’t regret that he knew about this a full year ago and didn’t do a damn thing to stop it. And apparently Shulman doesn’t regret that when Congress asked him about it a year ago he was “admamant in his denials” that anything was going on.
But here’s the punchline. Near the conclusion of Shulman’s performance he assured Congress: “I did not lie.” So there you go. Talk about comedy jokes! I almost chortled. I would have guffawed but my guts hurt from all the malt liquor I’ve been drinking lately.
And get this. The White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough knew about it. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew knew about it. Attorney General Eric Holder knew about it. God only knows who else in the White House knew about it. And yet, oddly, Obama — the Commander in Chief — claims he didn’t find out about it until a couple of weeks ago when he read about it in the newspapers!
Its just too much! Its too bad Republicans aren’t any good at writing comedy. They could be having a field day with this one.

The Obama White House could have easily cleared up the Benghazi mess by answering two very simple questions: 1.) Who made up the youtube video lie? 2.) And why did they make up the youtube video lie?
Instead we’ve gotten 7 months (and counting) of political double-talk (“What difference does it make what lies we tell you?!!!”). Can anyone on the internet answer these two very simple questions for me? I’ve even numbered them — number one and number two — to make it especially easy to address them.
As to the youtube video lie (and I think “lie” is exactly the right word to describe it when people purposefully tell you things that they know are untrue, don’t you?) unbelievably, the Obama Administration is STILL sticking to their story that their source for that bullshit was the CIA. When the recently released CIA emails clearly show that the CIA was saying from day one that it was “Al Queda” and a well-orchestrated “terrorist attack.”
But what else can the Obama White House say at this point except to stick to their lie that the CIA was their source (the lie about the lie, as it were)? And just hope they can bullshit their way through with lawyer-style BS and splitting of hairs. Their only other alternative is to tell the truth (that would be a novel approach for this administration) that in fact THEY MADE UP THE WHOLE FUCKING STORY FROM THE BEGINNING!!!!!
I voted for Obama in 2008. Like a lot of people I was hoping for the best. My opinion? The Obama Administration is about as dirty as it gets. Oh well, at least he wasn’t as bad as George Bush. That stupid imbecile. P.S. Don’t bother to audit me for making these critical comments about Obama. I’ve got like 20 bucks in the bank. You slimeballs.
