stupid

(Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry)

(Barack Obama)

Former FEMA director Michael Brown tried to clarify his comment about President Obama handling the hurricane situation "too quickly," and ended up shoving his foot even further into his mouth.

"The President should have just -- he could have just made a comment while he was in Florida that says, 'you know my FEMA director is on top of this and we're gonna do everything we can when the states ask us to come in and help.' He would have been better served politically to let everybody else... make whatever statements they were going to make. Call for their evacuations. And then he could have stepped up, very presidentially, and said 'And by the way, I have instructed my FEMA director to give the states whatever they need as the storm approaches.' I think he would have gotten more mileage out of it."

Because disaster relief is for getting political mileage, not making sure people have the aid they need.

Tim Kaine, when asked about people who pay no federal income tax, actually answered that he would consider raising taxes on the poor.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Anyone else think duck and cover vs. a tank is just stupid?

While gas prices may have returned to levels below "grab your pitchforks!", the government is as discombobulated as ever. Take your foot off the gas relax for a second with these chill Sunday memes.  

Taking a trip in our time-machine, this date in 2011 was pretty momentous. People were selling kidneys to fill their gas tank, and surprise surprise, there were massive protests in Bahrain for a nice change. As Sunday's go, it's right up there with the day every month your credit card charges you for that membership you "forget" to tell your wife about. Look here for more off-the-cuff memes.

But don't let this reality check get you down, beat back those Sunday blues with some dank memes.

Well, look who just got back. How was your trip, chair?

The war's over, guys. Where the hell have you been?

So, the guy on the Quaker Oats box is getting an award, too? I'm your wife, idiot.

How is it going to land on something so small?
