This Just in: Joe Miller Explodes

Update: 12:30Pm AKST.
Joe Miller was seen this morning at the Ted Stevens Anchorage airport. He had arrived in his usual manner, driving a large souped up Hummer, sporting an American flag and AK47. His mission appeared to be airport pick up of minions and lawyer goons. Scores of paranoid and vindictive Miller associates were expected to arrive any minute to help Joe with his fight against fellow Republican , Lisa Murkowski.
Due to wet snow and ice in the Anchorage area, the flight was delayed. Joe became visibly angry. As his face reddened he stomped around the airport screaming: "The Federal FAA needs to be dismantled-- It is our constitutional right to fly in bad weather."
In order to appease himself, Joe handcuffed a ticket agent to a chair- for being an enemy of the state. This quick fix didn't last, as the television monitors announced more write-in votes coming in amongst absentee ballots. The lamestream media was reporting they were most likely for Lisa Murkowski.
Joe began hyperventilating and barricaded himself behind the ticket counter screaming: "Those votes are all for Mickey Mouse, I will read every damn ballot myself and fight it!--stop with the conspiracy!" "Alaskans can't spell--they shouldn't even be allowed to vote ! repeal the 17th!"..............then KABOOM!
He simply imploded into 4000 little pieces. Right there in the terminal. Full story on the 10:00 news.

I Am Not Joe Miller and Do the Youth Know Better?

As if the tea baggers haven't overused the statement already, Joe Miller has decided to excuse his shady background with the lame line: "I am just like you...the voter... warts and all..." I hate that line. 1-because I don't have your warts Joe and 2- I want elected officials to be better than me. Only tea party nuts would want their politicians to be of average intellect and never better!
Another election topic:
I am reading about the potential young voters in the 2010 election and the question on everybodys' mind is--will they be participating or not? Analysts cringe as they speak of young voters being unmotivated and lacking the enthusiasm to participate in the political process. To prove how unenthused they are, many young people are stating it won't really make a difference who gets control of congress. The Dems worry about this all the time--especially because currently young voters are polling as having a much better impression of Obamas' job performance than their parents' generation does. So what gives?
Well my theory is that the young people are actually more pragmatic than their paranoid parents. I always love saying stuff like: if the youth of today would stop sexting each other and doing bong hits, maybe they would pay more attention and vote. But I can't help but notice their instinctive honesty about Obama--like what's the problem? I still like the guy, I knew the world wasn't going to reverse directions in a few months....It looks like the older generation is the one with the crazy unrealistic expectations for Obama--and they really should know better!!! I remember when the Tea Party and queen Sarah started criticizing Obama--he had barely slept a night in the white house, and they wanted everyone to think he had failed, failed and failed--at everything.
Well if you scream and yell loud enough--people do hear you. Eventually all the dumb-asses who hear this nonsense believe it and there you go--a ridiculous midterm election where voters are swaying towards the Republicans based on bad sound bites. Totally ignoring that Obama did not fail-- afterall he did stop the giant depression everyone was excited about just two years ago. And real change will take a long time to be appreciated and noticed. But for now, it seems only the young stoners seem to have the patience to understand this....

The Irony of Alaska's Joe Miller

Alaska has it's own circus going on right now regarding the upcoming election. Lisa Murkowski's non-traditional write in bid is actually quite boring (yawn) compared to the wacky, wacky contradictions of Tea Party sweetheart Joe Miller...
I can't quite figure out, who is a Joe Miller fan? Ok, the well-off, I see some nice houses with Joe signs and that makes sense to me--they are doing well, don't want more taxes, and screw the "lazy poor".
But it's the underprivileged voters that get my goat--the trailers and yards full of jalopies with their "constitutional freedom" and "Joe Miller" signs that send my mind spinning...
So these not-rich folks, want to benefit less from government programs--like Denali kidcare (medicaid) or social security...right? and then these poor folks also don't want to pay their imaginary taxes -- (aren't you exempt from taxes at low incomes in this country ?)
Whatever. The great irony of Joe Miller is that without much advanced snooping, the press is all over his past of government programs--are there any he didn't even apply for?? I mean farm subsidies, unemployment, low income hunting license and Denail kidcare (medicaid) for his kids.

Now Joe's statement is "my family has had its struggles". Ok, so the Miller family struggled, used these programs, he got a good education & job, then zoomed ahead in the capitalist system. But excuse me--no other poor person should have these 'unconstitutional' benefits, right? And the best part is-- that he can fool a bunch of uneducated people to put signs in their yard in support of 'no benefits for me' (heaven forbid they become successful like Joe Miller--right??)
There used to be a joke: that an environmentalist is someone who builds a house in the woods, and then doesn't allow anyone else to do so.
I guess the new joke is: a Tea Party conservative is someone who uses government benefits to get ahead--and then doesn't allow anyone else to do the same....
