Herman Cain Steals Tax Plan From PBS Children’s Show

Posted by Matt on October 14, 2011

Herman Cain is the latest Flavor of the Week competing with Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination.  That flavor is ‘pepperoni.’ Cain has been touting his unfeasible and regressive 9-9-9 tax plan, and MAN is it catchy.

However, I just can’t shake the feeling I’ve heard this all before. In song.

I loved Square One when I was a kid.  Its run coincided with the peak of my Mathematical ability.  godspeed, Mr. Cain. May your shitty pizza fortune spring forth more catchy proposals + maybe next time include Count Von Count.

10 Commandments For Aspiring GOP Presidential Candidates

Posted by Matt on September 30, 2011

GOP candidates are quick to indicate certain position points are inspired or dictated by their creator, Reagan Yahweh, or as Republican debate audiences would call him, “Boo!! Socialist!” Here are 10 to live by:

1.    Thou shall not steal unless committing theft with an Invisible Hand.  (R. Paul)

2.    Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. But if you do, he’ll still probably execute the guy if he’s convicted, so don’t sweat it. (R. Perry)

3.    Thou shall not commit adultery  this to memory. (N. Gingrich)

4.    Thou shall not commit adultery…but no one would really blame you, Michelle. (M. Bachmann)

5.    Thou shall seem reasonable relative to colleagues and be rewarded with a plague of Debate Crickets. (J. Huntsman)

6.    Thou shall not forget the free 2-Liter of Soda with every delivery of $20 or more.  (H. Cain)

7.    Remember the Google, to keep it holy.   For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all the frothy fecal matter that is in them, and on the seventh day created Google to put it all on an easy to use search engine.  (R. Santorum)

8.    Thou shall not, shall thou? Yeah, I don’t know. Something about triathlons and privatizing prisons. Yahweh is pretty indifferent here. (Gary Johnson)

9.     Thou shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s, including his conservative street cred. (M. Romney)

10.  Thou shall not eat that 2nd strudel…haha just kidding, do whatever you want as long as you run. Seriously + Sincerely, GOPGOD (C. Christie)

Who Will Get The Chance To Passive-Aggressively Deride Mitt Romney’s Mormon Faith?

Posted by Matt on August 12, 2009

The 2012 GOP Republican primary just got more entertaining.  Joining possible candidates Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee in the race to “Out-Jesus” opponents is none other than man-dog-sex enthusiast Rick Santorum.

 

Um.
The Future First Family of The United States of America?  God bless the, um, USA.

POLITICO has learned Santorum will visit first-in-the-nation Iowa this fall for a series of appearances before the sort of conservative activists who dominate the state GOP’s key presidential caucuses.

One can only hope Tom Tancredo and/or Alan Keyes will join the parade of crazy.
The conservative base will find Santorum a sympathetic candidate. However, I’m sure they have one burning question:  Where’s the birth certificate?
