Tina Fey Isn't Funny

"In 1998 certain parties established the 'Mark Twain Prize for American Humor' and my ego swelled greatly.  It swelled even more when winners like Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby were given awards bearing my name when they were true and consummate performers of the first degree while I was but a writer who enjoyed both the craft of writing and cheap cigars.  But the fates are never kind.  After building me up and swelling my breast all these years they pricked my balloon with ease by nominating a basically unfunny person whose sole accomplishment was to promote a single political view in support of something that I absolutely abhorred:  Political Correctness.  I am now properly shamed."

The award, in this case, is less for humor than for political correctness.  Tina Fey was the cheerleader of those who ridiculed Sarah Palin.  Most of the time she wasn't funny and elicited a groan rather than a laugh.  And she helped spread misinformation with glee.

The award in this instance should be announced on stage like this:  "For her political correctness in support of the 20% of Americans who are left-wing ideologues, most of whom live meaningless lives in Hollywood and its environs, the Mark Twain Award for Inanity goes to..."

Enough said.

Rep. Andre Carson: Tea Party Protesters Are ‘One of the Largest Threats to our Internal Security’

Rep. Andre Carson: Tea Party Protesters Are 'One of the Largest Threats to our Internal Security'

I am reminded of something that Mark Twain once said: "Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But, then, I repeat myself." It sure fits this case.

I posit that I have significantly more experience with a broader range of internal security issues than Representative Andre Carson (D-Indiana/7th) and I guarantee you that he's got it backwards. Moronic Congressmen like Andre Carson are a significantly bigger threat to the security of the United States than the Tea Party. I would remind Representative Carson that just a few short years ago there were smaller, and actually violent, demonstrations afoot in the land that were sponsored by his party of liberal-progressive-socialists and the Democrat leadership was calling them "patriots." We the People are fully capable of recognizing hypocrites and Carson surely fits the bill.

This November the good people of Indiana's 7th Congressional District will have a chance to pass judgment on Carson's performance and I hope they remember that he's one of the people that put not only their children but their children's grand-children in debt and raised all our taxes while making an assault on some of our basic freedoms.  If they do, I am sure that Mark Twain will look down and smile at the wisdom of their vote.
