According to the Internets, former teen heart-throb Scott Baio recently tweeted some questionable comments via his Twatter after filing his taxes. What happened next will forever live on in Internet infamy as one of the most unexpected celebrity (*cough*) meltdowns of all time. Here’s exhibit A, Baio’s tweet about his taxes:

Wa! Wa! Wa! Anyway, Chachi’s “kill the poor” tweet got the attention of the website Jezebel. Jezebel posted Baio’s tweet on their site, resulting in a bunch of responses from Jezebel’s readers ranging from calling Baio a “bag of mashed assholes” to the suggestion that he might need an “empathy intervention”. Which really pissed Baio off. So naturally, he tweeted about it:

Baio then went on to play every crazy card in his deck, shooting back at Jezebel saying that he was going to “pray “for them while reminding the blog (run and written by women) that “the broom and the dustpan are in the closet”. Scott thought he was  being sneaky by tweeting his barefoot-and-pregnant jive in poorly translated Italian. Chachi: FAIL! Then things got truly bananas when Baio’s wife (whom he acquired on his reality TV series, Scott Baio is 45 and Single) got into the virtual fist-fight with the following tweet:

It’s nice to see Mrs. Baio smiling in her Twitter profile picture while holding her infant daughter. It almost diffuses her use of the words “Lesbian shitasses!!!!!!” and “cuntness”. But not so much her quote that “Scott Baio has more class in his piss” than the rest of us. Anyway, as true to form as any closet hater can be, Mrs. Baio qualified her shitass statements via a follow-up tweet, defending her Freedom of Speech and also to remind everyone that she herself has “lesbian” friends who are nice and loyal. To say nothing of her other friends that come in all shapes (her one fat friend), sizes (her other, fatter friend) and colors (she has been photographed with a black woman).  Phew, what a relief?

Things quickly went down the rabbit hole of no return when Renee Baio tweeted that they were forwarding the entire exchange with Jezebel to the California Attorney General (?) in the hopes of prosecuting all those involved in this latest round of online Baio bashing (the first occurred after Baio’s appearance on the Glenn Beck Show). So much for Freedom of Speech, ‘eh? Dang, Scott Baio, you really picked a winner. And while on on the subject of picking, Here’s Baio’s final word to the lesbian shitasses at Jezebel and all the other people who envy his “happy and successful life” (*cough*hack*cough*):

And to that I say, Sit on it, Scott Baio. Seriously.

This is the second billboard sized jab at GWB by Minneapolis radio station AM 950, The Voice of Minnesota.

In response to last weeks Supreme Court ruling that stripped restrictions on campaign contributions from corporations, Florida Representative Alan Grayson filed a Reform Package called “Save Our Democracy”. The package contains six pieces of legislation including H.R. 4431 or, “The Business Should Mind It’s Own Business Act”. H.R. 4431 would assess a 500% excise tax on corporate political donations. Here’s more from Grayson on this the latest and quite unbelievable “is this really Democracy?” debacle:

If we do nothing then I think you can kiss your country goodbye. You won’t have any more senators from Kansas or Oregon, you’ll have senators from Cheekies and Exxon. Maybe we’ll have to wear corporate logos like Nascar drivers. The Supreme Court’s ruling opens the floodgates for the purchases and sale of the law.

We’ve come a long way baby?

Representative Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Senator Ted Kennedy has claimed that Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin of Rhode Island instructed diocesan priests not to give him Communion. The Bishop admitted to writing Kennedy a letter two years ago, requesting that he stop receiving Communion due to his views on abortion.

I know it’s not breaking news that people who show up for a Sarah Palin book signing aren’t actually rocket scientists, but the fact that they also don’t know JACK about her kind of is. True story.

Mad Magazine’s 11th Annual “Stupidest 20 People of the Year” issue is out now. David Letterman’s arch enemy, Sarah Palin comes in at #18 as “Blunder Woman”. Other stupid people on Mad’s list include Glenn Beck, Kanye West, and Tricky Dick Cheney. Wondering who was #1? Click here to find out…

This intentionally hilarious headline from The Huffington Post actually delayed my “terror level elevated” reaction to the news that Dick Cheney might be considering a 2012 Presidential run. True story…

Ed Orzechowski, big Catholic bully and president and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington has said that if Senate Bill 565 or the Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Act of 2009 passes, that the Archdiocese will be forced to stop providing services to the city’s most needy residents.

The Archdiocese currently provides shelter every night for nearly one in three of the city’s homeless men, women and children in Maryland. Every year, Catholic Charities provides shelter, food, counseling, medical and legal assistance, and more to 68,000 people in the District of Columbia. Orzechowski also said that the Archdiocese would also be subject to criminal prosecution for refusing to provide it’s social services to same-sex couples.

If passed, SB 565 will redefine marriage in Maryland as “the legally recognized union of two people.”

Today, nearly 72 hours after the polls officially closed in Washington State, AP has confirmed that the Domestic Partnership Initiative, R-71,  has been approved:

With about 72 percent of the expected vote counted Thursday in unofficial returns, Referendum 71 was leading 52 percent to 48 percent, with a margin of about 60,000 votes.

In other breaking news, fuck you Eastern Washington.

Shandong artist Liu Bolin paints himself to correspond into various backgrounds. The end result are completely mind-boggling. The 35 year old artist say his photos (which can take up to 10 hours to produce) are his way of protesting against the government for their routine suppression of Chinese artists. Bolin’s own studio was shut down by the government in 2005.

North Carolina Congressional candidate George Hutchins and his“Kill ‘em All” attitude is almost as scary as his website. Here’s a sample of some of the sludge  littering up Hutchins’ brains that accidentally leaked out of his ear and spilled onto his home page. I included the typos as they help illuminate Hutchins’ extreme nutbaggery:

End Gay Marriage
Rhinos attempted to silent my Honorable Effort.

Jessie Helms greatest North Carolina leader.

To stop Obama-Nation Socalists we must first go to the root of the poison tree which created all them.

Crispin Glover! Will someone please give this guy a hug? Actually, maybe getting that close to George might not be the best idea now. Rhino’s are really dangerous animals.

It’s hard to believe that Fear Hope and Love is California artist Mark Henson’s first solo-show. The thought provoking show runs through December 23rd at the Meta Gallery in Toronto.

Because every heart needs a lap dance. Especially (D) Rep Alan Grayson of Florida.

A few weeks ago via this blog, I asked Representative Grayson to please take President Obama out for a beer. After watching this five minute video of Grayson questioning RIGHT WING PSYCHO! Representative (R) Paul Broun/right-wing psycho, repeatedly on the contents of The Constitution, I want to take Rep Grayson out for shots and lap dances.

What’s particularly disturbing about this video is that Graysons’s questions were specific to the contents of The Constitution. Something you hope your Congressman knows a thing or two about. Grayson’s unwavering deconstruction of Broun is one of the most inspiring things I’ve seen in a long time. And I wish that wasn’t a True story.

Ruling against Washington States Public Record Act, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy on Monday temporarily blocked Washington State officials from releasing the names of people seeking to overturn R-71, a referendum that would expand the current domestic partnership laws in Washington State. And Tim Eyman couldn’t be happier.

Initially, Eyman was working to keep the names of people who signed 11 different petitions, including several of his own.  Yesterday, Eyman’s attorney submitted a request to include two individuals opposed to R-71 who had signed R-71 petitions and don’t want their names released. Eyman and others (especially those behind the Anti-R-71 lines) believe that disclosing the names of the 138,000 people who oppose the approval of R-71 would leave them open to harassment. Or having an uncomfortable conversation with their gay neighbors as to why they hate them so much. True story.

Approve R-71!

To be fair to the Republican loving chain Target, the equally right-swinging Walgreens was also distributing this “Illegal Alien” costume. Late last last week, under mounting pressure from Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, both chains pulled the costume from their shelves.

As of this writing the costume, made by a company called BuySeasons, Inc., is still listed for sale on BuySeason’s retail site, BuyCostumes.

Dear Congressman Grayson,

Please take the President out for a beer. First round is on me.

Thanks,

PS: I bet Nancy will come if you ask her. Just don’t tell Biden.

I had this photo in my blog queue as the book, Art for Obama, is out now. Talk about perfect timing.

Thanks to RDK for the helping bring the evil version of The Love Boat to life.

The audio is out of sync on this video of Representative Alan Grayson’s (D-FLA) “apology” to the GOP, but the words still sound completely bad-ass.
