HA! whaur ye gaun, ye crowlin ferlie?
Your impudence protects you sairly . . .
Robert Burns in “To a Louse”
No verbosity today, just a handful of links to what could easily be grouped into a collective website named insanity.com, or something similar if that name’s already taken. So here they are, eight of the week’s Nutcasearrhea highlights (not counting the R-Debate):
Steve Deace Links The Kim Davis Saga And Gay Marriage To 9/11
Tony Perkins: ‘Lawlessness’ Under Obama Paving The Way For The Antichrist
Beck: America Will See Riots, Chaos And Assassinations In 2016
Linda Harvey: US Must Fight Gay Rights, Not Climate Change
Ann Corcoran: Syrian Refugees Will Establish A Muslim Caliphate In America
Michael Savage Likens Pope Francis And Bernie Sanders To Pol Pot
And finally, the week’s pinnacle of Teh Stupid:
Ted Nugent: Only Donald Trump Can Save Us!
That stuff is so completely nutso that I feel obligated to toss in some evidences of calm sanity — concepts NOT based on the Republican / Fundamentalist-Christer mantra of hate, fear, war, and greed, some more peaceful images of the real world, that vast arena “out there” that the insane among us have completely dismissed and abandoned. Like this first one — a fly on a wildflower.
Or how about a pair of unidentified bugs attending to their daily wildflower duties:
And this, a pair of itty-bitty flies hanging onto what will likely prove to be the Last (yellow) Rose of Summer:
And finally this one. A goose doing something not even Donald Trump can manage — taking an afternoon snooze while standing on one leg on a mostly submerged rock a hundred yards offshore!
I’d sure like to see most any one of the nutcases cited above try that!
There you have it, proof positive that wildflowers, flies, bugs, roses, geese, and even submerged rocks “out there” are superior in virtually every way to those insanity-driven human hordes “in here” that have come to haunt the planet!
Robert Burns concluded “To a Louse” with this great idea:
O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
an’ foolish notion
What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us,
an’ ev’n devotion!
Yep. That about sums it!
OPEN THREAD
How ironic that Tony Perkins wrote a book called “No Fear”.
Also too, that Tony Perkins portrayed Jimmie Piersall in “Fear Strikes Out.”
Insects have no fear; proof that they’re superior in intellect to Perkins-style fundies and to Republicans in general.
Ben Gleckk may have something there. When TrumpDuck splits the reichwingFauxNuze vote and either Clinton or Sanders wins the Presidency, the loonies will finally explode in frustration and shooting, looting and rebellion will raise it’s ugly head. For a week.
If they can remember to shoot, loot and rebel. Bringing back the Duggars to TLC on time should defuse the worst.
Following Nugent’s link, he makes one very crazy and one very salient point.
A: We cannot believe so many in the GOP act like we are facing a minor inconvenience instead of the life-threatening dynamic of the Democrat communist battle cry. And face the facts – liberalism, progressivism and the mantra of the left are pure, nasty, proven communism, lick for lick.
B: Tell us, Mr. Trump, exactly how you are going to make America great again. We pray that you will. We pray that you can. We are waiting
Yeah TrumpDuck, how are you going to get Mexico to pay 300+billion dollars to pay for exporting mostly non-Mexican undocumented workers back to Mexico. Wait…
Safe journey, Turtle~
90 mins for the Rekyjavik flight…. thanks Ebb…. starting off the music night, but won’t finish it
So, the cops knew all along it wasn’t a bomb.

Fiji has a nice national anthem. And the players look fierce, too.
Rugby World Cup, yay!
Sharknado with the boys later.
And beer.
Great day in the EV household!
Veggie curry first. Now for comfy clothes and the couch.
And google rugby rules again, I get confused between Rugby League and Rugby Union and what not…
Have an enjoyable evening!
Yay – Rugby world cup!!! I am in SeaTac airport watching game…..
The latest odd are: England will win, but Fiji will catch the snitch. (Ht: hogwartslogic on twitter)
England flatter to deceive but do the business 35-11 …. fascinating start to the tourney. Next report from USA v Samoa!!
I am at the USA v Samoa game on Sunday !!🙂
I’m jealous, especially as I won’t be going to England this year.😥
I’m so confused about rugby.
Where’s the rug they’re supposed to be playing on?
It be here.
Fiji? Say hello to Dave Lister for me, if you see him.😉
Which one, house? Red dwarf?
Uh huh.
Its cold outside… there’s no kind of atmosphere….. I’m all alone, more or less…
Seasons 10 and 11 just started production! Can you say smee-heee !!!
frugal, thank you for balancing out the crazy (do you think Robbie B. is still alive and watching what goes on?) with your excellent shots of nature!
Nature — “out there” — is where sanity resides. Glad you know that too!
Jimmy Carter gets him some at the Braves game

Can the judge just throw her ass back in jail until the state can impeach her?
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/kim-davis-deputy-clerk-disobeyed-judges-order
Dincha hear? Inbred Kentucky hicks are immune from impeachment. From the Kentuckian perspective, Peachment only happens in Georgia.
Only in the New Confederacy – break the law and get a police guard and a platform and a mike to spout your New George Wallace bile.
And, as long as we are declaring war on Christians, can we throw someone in a cell for this crap? If not, can we start to question the Pythagorean theorem? Squares and their roots make baby Jesus suck his thumb in wonder.

In war, aren’t they summarily executed? I mean…
Do they also require a sticker in the bible to tell readers to question unproven creation and god existence???
+1000
Can we put stickers in their Bible asking them to seek treatment for mental illness?
Damn, Frugal beat me to it..!
😆
+1001…. for piling on the Jesus Bus
Heh…
Any interviewee from the Neo Confederacy who says they have a science degree will get rejected by me, unless they get the answer right.
Do you remember Daryyl and his Oral Roberts CIS degree? Ask em how old the earth is, for sure.
Oral Roberts — somebody said once that he probably had a brother. Anal Roberts.
Daryyl, Daryyl, Daryyl was quite amusing and entertaining with his converting, beachgoers in Brazil, to Christianity!
And blaming Zooey for urinating in his front yard birdbath!
Santorum: Gay Marriage Still Illegal Because It’s ‘Not The Way Nature Functions’
How about drilling for oil, then. That ain’t the way nature functions either. And what other life form wears clothes they weren’t born with?
Rantorum has all the intelligence of a cobweb.
Rick Sanitation is not the way nature functions…
Ricky, if nature had functioned correctly, you would have been eaten by an apex predator by now.
How about sending those clocks on in to city hall to that racist mayor, too? Johnny Fever told his listeners to dump garbage on the city hall steps…
The coup de grace, have all the damn clock alarms go off simultaneously.
Really freak the shit out of the administration, watch them wet themselves.
Ted Cruz’s $500k Super PAC donation to Carly Fiorina’s Super PAC is raising red flags with that other acronym, the FEC.

Kim Davis: I’ve secretly replaced the old marriage license forms with new ones. Shhhh…let’s see if anyone notices:
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/kim-davis-deputy-clerk-disobeyed-judges-order
They need to lock her up for a long time.
Stop letting her play the Christian as martyr game.
If she wants to be the Christian martyr, how about we add a couple of hungry lions? That should satisfy even the most severe of critics.
Yep. Lock her up on the contempt charge until she comes to trial on the charge of doctoring government documents; a felony if I’m not mistaken.
BTW. I burned the first batch of enchilada sauce but the second came out O.K.
This is the very first time I’ve hoped Glenn Beck is correct (him being correct is a tall order, but maybe?):
Glenn Beck’s Newest Conspiracy Theory: Donald Trump’s Campaign Is A Plot By Big Business To Discredit The Tea Party
The Tea Party discredits itself by just being.
Per Rachel Maddow: A Vermont poll has Bernie Sanders tied with Trump and Carson, all at 12%, among just GOP voters. Bernie leads Hillary 65-14 among Dem voters.
This country would become so weak with Trump as POTUS.
He has no grasp of any policy, let alone how he’d ‘improve it’.
Still the best Clara scene in any Doctor Who: Season 8, Episode 1, when Clara is staying at Madame Vastra’s, and she comes out with her hair done up and wearing a Victorian dress with a bustle!
