News Roundup for 5/10/12


Rep. Michele Bachmann


-Headline of the Day-
"Bachmann Withdraws Dual Swiss Citizenship."

After news that Rep. Bachmann had switched sides in the war between 'Murka and Yurp, Shelly beat a hasty retreat from her allegiance with the Schweizer Menace.

"I took this action because I want to make it perfectly clear," she said, "I was born in America and I am a proud American citizen." And it had nothing to do with the fact that her family would've been covered by that commie Swiss healthcare and the freedom-hating social safety net.

How do we know that? Well, because if Shelly's the only one pulling out, her family will still be covered by that commie Swiss healthcare and the freedom-hating social safety net, since they decided to go get their official Swiss Army knives "as a family."

So nice try, Comrade Bachmann. But no one's buying it. Your story has more holes in it than a certain type of cheese. (Talking Points Memo)


-Cartoon time with Mark Fiore-
Hey kids, have you heard about all this austerity stuff in Europe? Yeah, that didn't work out so well. Here's Uncle Mark to explain everything.

I guess it's true all over the world. When something's not working, a conservative thinks that just means you need to do more of it. (MarkFiore.com)


-Bonus HotD-
"Bristol Palin Slams Obama For Listening To His Daughters On Gay Marriage."

Because no one brings the sanctity of marriage to mind like Bristol Freakin' Palin. (Business Insider)

Stories to Watch: 2/5/11

I'm making sourdough pancakes tonight. I've got some blueberries I need to use up and it's time to feed the starter, so breakfast for dinner it is. Now here's the news...


Top leaders in Egypt resign, but Hosni Mubarak remains in office. The Egyptian people say that's not good enough.


The White House backs a transitional government led by handpicked Mubarak puppet Omar Suleiman. I'm guessing this is backing the wrong horse. Especially seeing how he's just survived his first assassination attempt.


House Republicans decide to take on Planned Parenthood. And doing a shitty job of it. The next time a GOPer tells you they're completely focused on jobs, go ahead and laugh in their face.


As long as we're talking about Republicans and abortion, this is just awful. I sometimes wonder why Republicans aren't constantly ashamed of themselves.


This is likewise just awful.


Finally, if George W. Bush goes to Switzerland, they'll arrest him. So he ain't goin'.
