Last week, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC.  As she walked onstage the pathetically unfunny comedy show – Fallon is so horrifically unfunny that he uncomfortably laughs at his own jokes onstage – the house band, The Roots, played “Lyin’ Ass Bitch.”  Bachmann didn’t catch it.  The Media Research Center and John Nolte at Big Hollywood did.  And it’s reprehensible.

Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, a member of the band (his moniker was likely garnered when his parents watched Dragon Quest and Love Story back to back), released a statement: “The performance was a tongue-in-cheek and spur of the moment decision. The show was not aware of it and I feel bad if her feelings were hurt.  That was not my intention.”  Read the rest here.

President Obama came to office on a promise of unifying America.  He still likes to pretend that he’s interested in the fate of all Americans.  In lateOctober, while travelling on his “non-campaign” bus campaign for re-election, he said,

A number of people have been asking during the course of this road trip, “Why have you been visiting some of the most Republican parts of North Carolina and Virginia?” And what I’ve had to remind them is that I’m not the Democratic president. I’m not the Republican president. I’m the president of the United States of America, and I don’t care what party you belong to. We’re all Americans, and we’re all in this together.

Except for the 1%.  President Obama has also expressed admiration for the Occupy Wall Street movement, which is an almost random agglomeration of leftist causes, all unified by a simple theme: 99% of Americans vs. the top 1% of income earners.  Read the rest here.

The first object of government, wrote James Madison in Federalist Paper No. 10, was to protect the American people from deep turkey fryers. Oh, wait. That was Janet Napolitano, who this week had her Department of Homeland Security release a two-minute video highlighting the incredible danger to Homeland Security posed by these kettles of horror. "We recently tested several models of deep fat turkey fryers," a bureaucratic-looking fellow wearing a hardhat tells the camera, "and find that this method of cooking can be very hazardous." A man-made disaster, if you will.

Undoubtedly, the American people must be protected from the scourge of misused turkey fryers. If we burn ourselves on Thanksgiving dinner, the terrorists will have won.  Read the rest here.

With all the chaos surrounding the Republican nomination race, one thing is very clear: somewhere along the way, Mitt Romney made a Damn Yankees-like pact with Satan to score this group of individuals to run against.  It is certain that a vast majority of Republican primary voters do not like Mitt Romney.  In fact, we can go further – they can’t stand him.  That’s why he’s never broken 30 percent in any national poll of Republican primary voters.  That’s why Tea Party support has shuffled from Michele Bachmann to Rick Perry to Herman Cain.

Sadly, though, none of those candidates have been a vessel expansive enough to contain the unbridled enthusiasm of the Tea Party movement.  Bachmann’s support fell apart when she began committing boneheaded linguistic gaffes – and more so when Rick Perry jumped into the race.  Perry’s campaign fell apart when he suggested that anyone who did not agree with the Texas DREAM Act was heartless – and more so when he disintegrated in the debates.  Cain’s campaign fell apart when it became clear he was an amateur – although it took the capper of the sexual harassment charges to do serious damage.
