Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

 This is about a couple of conservative bloggers whose misreading of a scientific study only makes them look foolish.
 Tintin over at Sadly, No! tells the STORY more humorously than I could.

 For the umpteenth time in the past six months, I caught this ad on TV a few moments ago — and I was no less amused than when I first saw it.
 Yeah, it’s a departure from our usual political fare on this site, but I get tired of relying on wingnuttery as the sole source of comic relief from our deadly serious blathering.

 No atheists in foxholes, you say? Au contraire.
 If foreign-policy hawkishness can be seen as a metaphorical foxhole, it includes atheists as well as religionists of various stripes.
 Indeed, it says HERE that several major players in the “New Atheism” movement are out-and-out right-wingers when it comes to foreign policy.

 Those of us who are hoping and praying that Sarah Palin wins the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 are truly heartened by THIS NEWS.
 Go, Sarah, go!

 John Harvin (not his real name) says climate-change denialists generally fall into one of two different categories.
 Category A covers folks who are simply fools, while Category B is for people “completely blinded by self-interest.”
 Says Harvin: “The problem is this: I do believe in the climate change science. That takes me out of Category A, thank goodness. But I am pretty sure I am still a climate-change denialist. I am just in Category B.”
 He explains the situation HERE.

 Catherine Crabill, a Republican candidate for the Virginia state legislature, is so far to the political right that she makes Sarah Palin look like Hillary Clinton.
 Witness Crabill’s recent DECLARATION that she and her ideological kinfolk will have to resort to bullets if they don’t get their way via ballots.
 Even the GOP chairman in Crabill’s home county thinks she’s a bit daft.
 But I like her (as long as I can remain a safe distance from her).  I think truly nutty right-wingers are fun. They afford us the opportunity to laugh at madness without being accused of heartless cruelty.
