For Katrina Veterans

Nearly 8 years since Hurricane Katrina devastated our area, a shaky firm called Public Policy Polling has published the 'results' of a poll they took
asking GOPers who is to blame for the Government's failure during The Storm. Here is the link to the poll

In addition to political issues, the company has polled the public on such diverse topics as the approval rating of God, whether Republican voters believe President Obama would be eligible to enter heaven in the event of the Rapture and whether hipsters should be subjected to a special tax for being annoying.

This company is a joke, but I certainly don't think it's funny that they took this "poll" in the month of August and published the results so very close to Katrina's anniversary.

Old Akin has awakened the morons around the country. Here are some examples
"Idaho state Sen. Chuck Winder recently justified his opposition to abortion in cases of rape by questioning whether women really know what rape is."

Clayton Williams, TX
“As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it.”

Sharon Angle said a girl who was raped by her father and became pregnant should “make lemonade out of lemons.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Florida State Rep. Kathleen Passidomo apparently believes that the state's new school dress code will keep children safe from being raped:
"There was an article about an 11 year old girl who was gang-raped in Texas by 18 young men because she was dressed like a 21-year-old prostitute," she said. "And her parents let her attend school like that. And I think it’s incumbent upon us to create some areas where students can be safe in school and show up in proper attire so what happened in Texas doesn’t happen to our students." (so she deserved rape for dressing wrong?)

Rep. Steve King: I’ve Never Heard Of A Girl Getting Pregnant From Statutory Rape Or Incest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield falsely claimed that it was nearly impossible for someone to contract AIDS through heterosexual contact.

WHERE did these empty heads come from? And I'm really scared of the folks that voted for them.

This week's idiot hails from the show me state of Missouri.



Todd Akin, the Republican nominee for Senate in Missouri who is running against Sen. Claire McCaskill, justified his opposition to abortion rights even in case of rape with a claim that victims of “legitimate rape” have unnamed biological defenses that prevent pregnancy.

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in an interview posted Sunday. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Akin said that even in the worst-case scenario — when the supposed natural protections against unwanted pregnancy fail — abortion should still not be a legal option for the rape victim.

“Let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work, or something,” Akin said. “I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”

I don't like to get political, because I believe everyone is entitled to their ideas and choices.

However, when politicians get downright stupid - as a lot of GOP-ers have been doing - I have to let off steam.

So my first edition of "Idiots on Parade" stars none other than that oh-so ultra sensitive John Boehner, who has said that our President has caused the drought and should claim responsibility.

I know that I am not schooled in the inner workings of the Beltway, so I'm hoping that someone out there can help me understand how our President caused this drought. Anyone?
