Ted Cruz is officially running for President. I iz laffing.

I just have to say it. 

Ted Ooze is gay as a box of Robert Jeffress. Cruz Control is gay as a pair of crotchless chaps. This is not a bad thing really. Some of my best friends...etc.

I ask myself:
Could the Cruiser Cruz really be the "homo demon" sent to demolish the Black Woman and the Republican Party by Obama? 

I mean, my gaydar has to be as good as Pastor Doctor James David Manning's gaydar any day. I am here and I am Queer. What does he know about "homo demons" really?

NYC pastor: ‘Pervert’ Obama is ‘releasing white homo demons to scoop up all Black American men’

I would go on but, I am starting to feel guilty for noticing the fabulousness and then commenting on it. I know I am politically incorrect. I do not care. Ted Cruz is so gay that when he farts, crepe paper streams out of his anus.

Oh Teddy Cruiser Cruz, Homo White Demon of the Universe, you are so cute in such a perverse oily pukey way. Your Tea Party dialectic brings all the boys to the yard.

UPDATE: More Pastor Manning below. When you really think about it, Pastor Doctor James Manning is so gay.

St. Patrick's Day Bread.

Treacle Bread is a slightly sweet Irish Soda Bread. It seemed an appropriate recipe for March because it is the month in which we celebrate St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and most Americans pretend we are Irish for a day every year.

A thin slice of this bread well buttered or with a bit of jam and a cup of black tea in the afternoon is one of the finer pleasures in life. This bread toasts nicely too when it is a bit hard.

Miss Peggy Daum's Treacle Bread

3 cups sifted all purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon granulated Sugar
1 scant teaspoon Baking Soda
3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Molasses
1 cup Buttermilk, divided

Sift all purpose flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking power into a large bowl. Thoroughly mix in whole wheat flour. Warm the molasses a bit and combine it with 1/2 the buttermilk. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and stir in the buttermilk mixture. You want a soft dough. So add the other bit of buttermilk as needed.

Turn out on a floured board. Knead only enough to shape into a ball. You do not want to develop gluten. Flatten the ball of dough into a circle 11/2 inches thick. Place into a greased and floured 8-9 inch baking pan. Dough does not have to fill the pan. Cut a cross 3/8 inch thick across the top and down the sides of the loaf.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake bread 40 to 45 minutes or until bread is browned and loaf sounds hollow when you knock on it. Best sliced thin and lightly buttered, toasted or untoasted.

Asshats on Parade - God Edition - Rep.Stephen Fincher of Tennessee

I am religious. The moment a US politician mentions God, s/he loses a measure of electability for me. I am not far from making the rule that I will not vote for a God mentioner. At the moment that is impractical as a hard and fast rule. If atheists keep up the good work, that day may come.

I despise theists like Stephen Fincher who use scripture to deny people food while taking millions in farm subsidies. Stephen Fincher is a Welfare Queen. Did Fincher have to take a drug test to get his check? If quoting scripture while you starve folks is not blasphemy, I do not know what is. 

Jewish law had provisions for feeding the poor and helpless, just like we do today. Jesus said that not one bit of the law would pass away. I wonder what Jesus would say to Stephen Fincher?

“When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field and hast forgotten a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands." - Deuteronomy 24:19

Rep. Stephen Fincher 

"A man shows his character just in the way in which he deals with trifles--for then he is off his guard. This will often afford a good opportunity of observing the boundless egoism of man's nature, and his total lack of consideration for others; and if these defects show themselves in small things, or merely in his general demeanor, you will find that they also underlie his action in matters of importance, although he may disguise the fact. . . . Do not trust him beyond your door. He who is not afraid to break the laws of his own private circle, will break those of the State when he can do so with impunity." - Schopenhauer

Some Serious Crazy Here - Update

UPDATE: Cruiser Cruz just got promoted from Christian warrior to incarnate God in Iowa. Still waiting for word about Cruz's Canadian citizenship. Hmmmm.

DES MOINES, Iowa — As an audience of 600 Republicans awaited the arrival of Sen. Ted Cruz Friday night at the Iowa Events Center, conservative Christian activist Steve Scheffler came to the podium to give thanks to God for the Tea Party savior — and plead for more principled conservative leaders like him willing to “be crucified for their belief system.” 

Cruz and his Dad scare me bigtime. Does this video of Cruz Senior's speech seem kool to you, Cher Reader?

We do not have kings and do not want kings in America. And who gets to decide who the "evil" are? And whose wealth are they "transferring?"

These dominionist authoritarian "Christians" are bad news. This is the kind of fascist ideology and tone my Nonno, Angelo Pietro de Angelis, emigrated from Italy to avoid. If you think I am overreacting, read this quote. It is the same deal. Adolf Hitler said:

I say: my Christian feeling tells me that my lord and savior is a warrior. It calls my attention to the man who, lonely and surrounded by only a few supporters, recognized what they [the Jews] were, and called for a battle against them, and who, by God, was not the greatest sufferer, but the greatest warrior. . .

As a human being it is my duty to see to it that humanity will not suffer the same catastrophic collapse as did that old civilization two thousand years ago, a civilization which was driven to its ruin by the Jews. . . I am convinced that I am really a devil and not a Christian if I do not feel compassion and do not wage war, as Christ did two thousand years ago, against those who are steeling and exploiting these poverty-stricken people.

Two thousand years ago a man was similarly denounced by this particular race which today denounces and blasphememes all over the place. . . That man was dragged before a court and they said: he is arousing the people! So he, too, was an agitator!

Political Sign of the Month - May - Tea Party

May seems like a most political month of the year given all the Cinco de Mayo celebrations. I had a hard time deciding which sign to choose for this month because so many seemed appropriate.  

Then I saw  this article about the modern Tea Party resurgence and my  decision seemed inevitable and unavoidable. Have fun with THIS LINK. I sure did.

IRS Targeting Scandal Fuels Tea Party Resurgence

Is the tea party getting its groove back? Shouts of vindication from around the country suggest the movement's leaders certainly think so.

Note:  Definition of teabagging from The Urban Dictonary:

teabagging

1) Repeated insertion of ones testicles in another's mouth.
2) Continiously crouching on a dead body in a video game.\

1: Dude, I don't think teabagging is a good prank, man.
2: dude stop teabagging, it's bad sportsmanship

Tea Party is No Party for Hungry Americans

Citizens of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, thank Governor Tom Corbett for his plans to make working people poorer by removing subsidies for public transportation and requiring food stamps recipients be absolutely destitute.

Evidently, Republicans as a group are bigtime into paying for The Shrub's wars and the deregulation of the banking industry on the backs of the average Joe and Josephine. And yes, the Republicans do expect us to thank them for these fiscally sound ideas.

The Tea Party and Rand Paul and Tom Corbett are evil little mushrooms.

What happened to the old style Republicans like Ike? Ike's tax rate on capital gains was 90%. And everybody had money and job. These MoFos want to take the food out of the mouths of children and old folks. Literally.

Maybe this Rand Paul guy should come down to my local church food pantry and see how poor and beat down some of the Mothers and Seniors look who come for food aid.

I bet this Rand Paul guy never went to bed hungry a day in his life. If you believe this FruitBat, I got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn real cheap and . . .

Tea Party in the Afternoon with Pearls

I am tired down to the ground of these Tea Party women. My kids are plotting emigration. They see no
future in America. I do not blame them. We now have nothing. We make nothing. We know nothing. And these women are the epitome of "know nothing."

As a nation, we have been date raped. And we did not even get dinner. And what is the Republican solution?

1. A woman who appears to have bad tranquilizer habit. I  look at Sharron Angle and see the spaced out eyes and perpetual smile of the Xanax devotee, but maybe it is just me and I have been hanging out at AA too long.
2. A professional virgin who does not understand separation of church and state and thinks mice with human brains exist.
3. A half term governor with a voice like a screech owl and the brains of a door stop.

All  of them come disguised as French Maids. Oooh la la. Just look over here at their cute shoes.

Watch these idiots run-run-run from the media and whine about how misunderstood and mistreated they are by having to actually campaign and maybe explain their political positions. Watch them lie without turning a carefully groomed hair. Listen to them call for a "second amendment solution." And why are they whining about MY SEX LIFE? We should turn rape into "lemonade"* Are they crazy?

Oh, the poor misunderstood Good Women. Here is a pearl of wisdom for you Tea Party women. Listen closely, Sharron and Christine and Sarah, and you will hear my virtual violin play a minor key accompaniment to your whining.

I like safe and legal medical abortion, same sex marriage, and paying taxes so bridges don't fall down. I am not into shooting people who do not agree with me. I am not into legislating what people do with their Things. And you know what, Tea Party ladies of all stripes? I think most Americans agree with me. Minding your own business is an American value. You do not speak for me.
