Joe Biden has certainly paid his dues in the gaffe department, although he is running well behind Obama since the election... in quantity, that is. And while Obama has worked hard to keep up the quality with such stunts as creating a new language (Austrian), trying to enter the White House through a window, and "57 States", Biden may have truly raised the bar this time.
To quote Elanor Clift...
This weekends show will feature John Egan, author of the book 6 Million And Counting. Egan says the murder of millions of Jews during the Holocaust was never understood in scientific and historical context as a population reduction experiment.
Egan says it's not just racists and crackpots who believe in Eugenics. The late oceanographer Jacques Cousteau argued that only a 90% reduction in human population will save the planet from environmental collapse. Dr. Henry Kissinger argued with extreme malice that the "depopulation" of the Third World is necessary for the continued security of the United States and its allies. Eugenist Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh said "If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels." What other world leaders, at high levels, are quietly working behind the scenes on this scary scenario?
Egan asserts that The Human Genome Project is a composite sequence based on a small number of mainly European families and individuals. White Europeans are the race scheduled for survival.
John Egan will be live with us Saturday night at 9pm Eastern to discuss all of this. Make sure to catch the show and have your questions ready. You can call them in or post them in chat for me to ask.
Wanda Sykes angered Conservatives with her comments about Rush Limbaugh and others at the White House Correspondents dinner on Saturday in Washington D.C. Before I get to my take on her appearance, here is the video of her remarks.

Now, let's be fair here. Wanda is a comedienne, hence not someone to be taken seriously. Anyone questioning that fact needs only to look at her hairdo to figure that one out. I'm not sure what look she was going for, but I think it's pretty safe to say she missed. On a personal note, if that's the best she can do I would refer her to my barber. That having been said, I wanted to place the focus where it should be.
Here is your weekend in review.
I have an idea for a reality show. Here is the general idea. Parents are given a two week vacation, the children stay at home with a tv crew. The camera crew will exercise moderate supervision of the kids. Nothing big, ya know? Just keep them from killing themselves. But they allow them to do all the stupid things kids want to do when the parents are gone. They go to school in Halloween costumes, subsist entirely on Oreo cookies and Coke, and bathe once a week. They stay up until two am then fall asleep at school. They plaster their rooms with graffiti. They do all of the things parents typically stand in the way of. Then, at the end of the vacation, we watch the parents get totally humiliated while they watch the videos of their kids moronic behavior. Sound good? I'd be hooked. Now where did I get this idea? Watching our President.
Case in point. President Obama goes to the Summit of the Americas. Now, the "parents" are gone, right? Were they there when Raul Castro agreed to discuss a wide array of topics with Obama, their guidance would have come in handy. "Dad" could have quickly pulled Obama aside and said "Son, before you go off touting this as some type of success, remember these are tyrannical dictators. By 'discuss' they mean they will tell you why it is their prerogative to continue these actions". But no parents around, remember? They are on vacation.
I have some friends and family who supported President Trump from early on in the process. From time to time they will ask me when I will admit that I was wrong about him. "If Trump does x... If Trump gets y... If Trump supports a policy that results in z... will you admit that you were wrong?" My answer is always "no", because I wasn't wrong. To be clear, I could be wrong in practical application, but that isn't what an election is about. Elections are about theory and speculation and, generally speaking about judging records. Trump had no record to speak of, and his history of stances on issues was all over the map. I opposed his candidacy for several major reasons, all of which are proven valid in this single issue we now refer to as the "travel ban". Here were my reasons.

If you're not familiar with Justice with Judge Jeanine, it is a show on the FOX News Network starring Jeanine Pirro. She is known for her over-the-top rants where she serves up gobs of fresh red meat for her largely hard right wing audience. While it's not unusual for her to be a little fast and loose with the facts, she has been known to occasionally return from the break with a correction from her producers. Last night, however, there was no such correction to an outright lie she told on the show, and the matter being discussed should have (at the very least) contained a disclaimer from the host. I would cut her some slack, but as a former prosecutor and judge, she should be well aware of what proper protocol should have been here.

It's not cute anymore, Republicans. The President of the United States is completely detached from reality, and you can't fix that. You can't cover it up, you can't explain it away, and let me make this as clear as I possibly can for you. You cannot possibly undo the damage you are doing to the party brand by trying to pretend this man is anything other than completely unhinged. I'm watching Sean Hannity borrow guests from the Alex Jones show in an attempt to bolster Trump's conspiratorial claims. I'm seeing relatively mainstream conservatives make themselves look like the crazed fringes of the paranoid right wing. Don't believe me? Look at this.
