I'm tired of politics. I've found little to comment on without complaining. I've been browsing and finding nothing. The fact that Sarah Palin got to her daughter and the young lady is now espousing abstinence for teens is good if unlikely. Heck!Wait! What's this? Joe/Sam is back in the news. This guy is like a bad penny and I love him for it! When I feel I just must post something, he never lets me down!
I loved the headline on Yahoo News: Joe the Plumber calls gays 'queer'.
This folk hero of conservatives explains to us what exactly 'queer' means since we obviously don't "understand the dictionary". I love this man! "Queer means strange and unusual. It's not a like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that."
Hmmm. I don't know what dictionary he reads but this is the definition given by the one on my computer:
1 strange; odd : she had a queer feeling that they were being watched.Well, he was partially correct.
• [ predic. ] dated slightly ill.
2 informal usually offensive (esp. of a man) homosexual.
noun informal usually offensive
a homosexual man.
Continuing in an interview with Christianity Today he was lamenting that neither party is sufficiently Christian. "They use God as a punch line. They use God to invoke sympathy or invoke righteousness, but they don't stay the course."
As the conversation continued, he admitted that someday he might consider running for office. "Not right now. God hasn't said, 'Joe, I want you to run'."
Is there a punch line in there? Or is he just staying the course?

Bill Mahar made sport of Joe leaving the Republican Party this past Friday. I feel a bit sorry for Joe, who seems sadly ill prepared to manage the limelight to his own advantage.
James Carville was on, and I had never heard him so hilariously cynical about the Republican Party. I usually see him on talk shows, where he performs his duties as a political analyst with the proper dose of seriousness. Is that even a word?
