L'indignation Du Jour

Sharon does Twitter. Wonkette (08.05.10), via Crooks and Liars:

"Why did Harry Reid vote in favor of giving cocaine to monkeys? Doesn’t he know that this is an issue specifically reserved to the states, by the 10th amendment?"

Why Is Harry Reid Giving His Monkey Friends All The Good Drugs?

Wonkette continues: "This research was highlighted in a report that John McCain and Jim Coburn wrote about wasteful stimulus spending, since the only thing those guys hate more than science is paying for science."

The research in question is being done by the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. They are studying cocaine addiction and the incidences of relapse. They weren't going to use monkeys at first, but they found out there are a few pesky ethical issues with having humans as subjects.

Oh My!

Sharon outdoes even herself. How anyone could think this woman is mad as a hatter is beyond us. Las Vegas Sun (08.04.10), via TPM

"'And that's really what's happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government.'"

Angle: "What's happening (in America)..is a violation of the 1st Commandment," entitlements "make government our God."

The American Taliban, in action.

UPDATE: Ride your bike for the OneWorldGovernment. "(Tea Party favorite) Maes acknowledged that some might find his theories 'kooky,' but he said there are valid reasons to be worried."

Reasons such as clinical paranoia, perhaps?

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Sharon would prefer the media outlets to be a bit more, uhhh, obsequious. National Review (08.03.10), via Huffington:

"'We wanted them to ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported.'"

Did She Just Say That Out Loud?

Harry Reid is one lucky bastard.
