If you missed tonight’s GOP debate, here are the headlines as tweeted from my Twitter account:
* The GOP debate is sponsored by Google. Michele Bachmann looks hot! I’m wearing beer googles.
* Newt Gingrich wants to make English the official language. Americans died in the Revolutionary War to prevent that
* The biggest hurdle for building a wall along the U.S-Mexico border will be finding illegal Canadians to build it.
* Michele Bachmann wants to rid the U.S of all taxes. Will making driving on a road from school to a hospital difficult.
* Hermann Cain is still unsuccessfully going after the Tea Party vote. I don’t have the heart to tell him he’s black.
* Mitt Romney said you need a job to create jobs. Mitt Romney doesn’t have a job.
* The sexual tension between Rick Perry and Mitt Romney is electric (chair).
* Smart move, Mitt Romney. He told Republicans they can find his policies in the one place they’ll never find them. IN A BOOK.
* GOP wants to replace Department of Ed. with home schooling. They want to replace ‘No Child Left Behind’ with ‘Blind Leading the Blind’
* Rick Perry says, “we need to put our aviation assets in the ground.” We have sneaky ground planes?
* So it’s now land of the free, home of the brave, Israel’s bitch.
* The Republican audience booed a gay soldier. Onwards, Christian soldiers. Onwards as the intellectual & moral infants of our species!
* Gary Johnson made a poop joke about the economy. He won’t be president but he will kill it on Twitter.
CJ. You outdid yourself with this post. This is f*n hilarious. LMAO
I deal with a number of gifted children who are homeschooled – not because of some Christianist Right crackpot scheme, but b/c current public education has turned their backs on them. Clearly we need a far better education system than we currently have, that recognizes that gifted children are “special needs” same as challenged ones are – otherwise our best and brightest are going to be supporting homeschooling rather than public schools. OTOH, that doesn’t mean homeschooling is good for most families – who’s going to do the teaching? (Mom, of course – since the Right’s dearest wish is to get America back to The Fifties That Never Were, so those Fine White Men can put Women, Blacks and Gays in their place.)
I look at Alan Keyes, Michael Steele and Hermann Cain – and I don’t know whether to call them “Race Traitors”…or pity them for thinking the Republican Party is “The Party of Lincoln” in any way, shape or form any more….
You, brother, are also killin’ it on Twitter. Brilliant!
DRDARKENY–My upcoming book dedicates over 2 chapters to the phenomenon of homeschooling for non-academic motivation. In the South East, it is growing rapidly. Please subscribe to my own blog http://www.atheistplayground.wordpress.com and follow me @tim29short so you will be one of the lucky ones who finds out about my book when it drops. CJ is, as we speak, working on the final typeset with Dangerous Little Books. The book is called Preacher Boy… hope you enjoy my posts on here as well. CJ was gracious enough to let me take on Fred Phelps. The Tea Baggers don’t stand a chance btw…but Romney is looking a lot more presidential than Rick Perry. . .and how.
