OH, SHUT UP!

Fresh off making an ass of himself during the flooding, State Representative Wayne Ford is floating to the top again.

U Gotta Love It!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Racial makeup of fair's lineup criticized

Ford wants the number of minority acts increased at the Iowa State Fair.

"The Grant Wood image of Iowa has changed. That picture would have minorities in the background now, and the State Fair has been trying, but this year appears to be a setback."

What happened to "ONE IOWA" Wayne?

Is it fair to have a quota system for the Fair?

Per the Ragister, Vanessa Hudgens (pictured)& Corbin Bleu are minority headline acts.

The Crystals are the best known of the acts on the free stage.

Gary Slater, Iowa State Fair CEO, said...The color that's most important to the fair's lineup is green.

Will.I.Am An Idiot

I subscribe to Time magazine for two reasons.

I read a lot of magazines when I fly and the rate I paid was almost as cheap as buying the individual issues.

They offered me a laser level that has become a favorite toy for our cat Kismet.

Not only are them lasers mesmerizing, they're difficult to catch and the scientific community is united in that fact.

I digress.

Times 10 Questions segment featured the front man for the Black Eyed Peas and two different answers caught my eye.

You say you don't like politics, but you supported John Kerry and Barack Obama. What got you involved in the process?

The spark was traveling outside America and seeing it from a distance, seeing the way people viewed us. America went from this beautiful country to "Oh my gosh, you guys are so stupid." But America tomorrow could still be the light of the world.

Did you want Fergie to join the Black Eyed Peas? Were you ever concerned that critics would deride you for selling out?

We put Fergie in because of her amazing voice, her edge and her rawness. When you follow your heart, you're never supposed to do things because of what you think people might say. You do it for the opposite reasons...

WHAT?

America remains the light of the world, that's why so many give up so much to get here.

We're supposed to care how others see us, but you're never supposed to do things because of what people might say?

SHUT UP!

Oh Crap!

Proving she's blond and soaked up too much sun, Sheryl Crow has suggestions to save the environment...

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."

..."only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required".

...Crow has also commented on her website about how she thinks paper napkins "represent the height of wastefulness".

She has designed a clothing line with what she calls a "dining sleeve".

The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve" after the diner has used it to wipe his or her mouth.

The Smoking Gun obtained a copy of Crow's contract for her tour...

when the global warming warrior hits the road, her touring entourage (and equipment) travels in three tractor trailers, four buses, and six cars. Now that's a carbon footprint!

In her defense, Crow...toured the US on a biodiesel-powered bus...

In the words of Laura Ingram...Just shut up and sing!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Price You Pay

As Secretary of the Treasury, Tim Geithner has been anything but a treasure.

In a recent interview Geithner gave, he shared the Administration's desire that the most fortunate Americans bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American.

While 49.5% of the country pays no income taxes?

OH HELL NO!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

It's time for everyone to put up or shut up and that includes you TIMMY.

Low Budget?

Confused by the facts, CommieTommie Harkin (or as we like to call him - St. Thomas of Equine Ass), is lumping the Paul Ryan proposed 2012 budget proposals with the current effort to fund the government for the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year.

Senator Harkin questions patriotism of those calling for a government shut down

I thought, according to fiberals, that questioning people's patriotism was a bad thing?

The reality is that the U.S. government is on the verge of a shutdown because Dummycrats did not pass a budget last year when they controlled CONgress and the White House, what Chuck Schumer calls the three branches of government, because it was “a political hot potato.”

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Harkin continued with -- a shut down would “send a signal to the rest of the world that we can’t even govern ourselves.”

Harkin also claimed he can make his budget claims because he can back them up.

Offering no facts, Harkin said...

“You know, we’re getting very close to planting season and a lot of information and stuff those (USDA) offices put out, farmers would not be able to access.”

Harkin also believes, the Iowa Department of Transportation might not have the ability to let ongoing road projects.

Oh, the humanity.
