Santorum: Gingrich is right

Hello again folks, the Hounds are out for blood again. As you loyal readers know, we here at Biteme.me rarely let slip the Hounds of Hell. We only let me out of my cage when something particularly egregious happens.

 

“What brought out the Hounds this time?” you ask? Ah, allow me to enlighten you.

 

Rick Santorum, in his long established goal of trying to sound like as much of a deluded psychopath as his opponent Newt Gingrich, has decided that the best way to achieve this goal is to agree with Newt on various topics. In this case, Santorum has decided to join Gingrich in flipping the bird at the Supreme Court.

 

How might this be “flipping the bird”, as your author has stated, you ask? Ah. Well, if you take your history lessons seriously, you’ll recall that the Supreme Court established the Separation of Church and State. The term originated in the courts and Santorum would like to shove the whole kit-and-kaboodle off a cliff.

 

Santorum seems to be under the impression that when Kennedy said that he didn’t want the President’s religion to concern the public, he meant “government crush religion!” I’m really at a loss here. You see, the point is not that you, as a citizen are not allowed to be religious, or even to let religion influence your daily decisions; the rule is that the government can’t do that.

 

So, to (thankfully) ex-Senator Santorum (may-you-never-be-Preisdent-of-this/my-country), I offer you our most hearty bras d’honneur: Bite me!

Condominiums are latest battleground in Christmas wars

For years, the Malibu East Condominiums in Chicago had a Christmas tree and menorah in the lobby. But Leo Harkins, an Orthodox Christian, wanted to add a creche. When the condo board wouldn’t agree, the guy filed a housing discrimination complaint with the Illinois Department of Human Rights. Final settlement: only the Christmas tree (it’s a secular symbol) in the lobby; all other religious symbols go in the 4th floor community room.

Leo Harkins, for demonstrating the true spirit of Christmas, you can Bite me.

Minnesota’s controversial deadly force bill advances

“A Minnesota bill that could be sent to the governor next week would sharply expand the circumstances under which people can use deadly force when they feel threatened, a measure that law enforcement groups call a recipe for getting away with murder.”

“Under the proposal, ‘If you are anywhere you can legally be, you can defend yourself against a criminal,’ said Republican Senator Gretchen Hoffman, the Senate sponsor. ‘If I am on the street … and I feel imminent danger of physical harm, I should be able to act with equal or greater force.’ ”

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius. —  Kill them all. For the Lord knows them that are His. (attributed to Arnaud Amalric, 13th cent.) [A fitting comment, I think, because Senator Hoffman is Catholic.]

Santorum calls Obama a snob for wanting everyone to go to college

Santorum now thinks he has a chance of winning the Republican nomination, and it’s causing his brain to turn to mush. He actually called Obama a snob for wanting everyone to go to college.

I’m not saying that college is for everyone, but all the Republican candidates went. In fact they all have post-graduate degrees:

Santorum

  • Penn State (BA)
  • U Pittsburgh (MBA)
  • Penn State (JD)

Gingrich

  • Emory (BA)
  • Tulane (MA, PhD)

Romney

  • Brigham Young (BA)
  • Harvard (MBA, JD)

Ron Paul

  • Gettysburg (BS)
  • Duke (MD)

No jail for $359 million con artist

It was the usual work-at-home, weight loss, free trial, colon cleanse, and tooth whitening offers. With the usual fake “as seen on Oprah” line.

No risk? Not to them — they charged your card as soon as you ordered, then wouldn’t give refunds.

  1. The perpetrator can bite me.
  2. The FTC can bite me for not pursuing criminal charges
  3. I presume that these guys are among the people running those obviously fake ads all over the Web. For accepting those crooked ads, the websites can bite me.

Life Inc. – Con artist took in $359 million with bogus ‘free-trial’ offers.

Read the FTC order.

 

Right wing attacks Clint Eastwood as Obama tool. Are they kidding?

Eastwood is well known as a libertarian and fiscal conservative, but that ain’t good enough for some on the lunatic fringe. When he filmed a commercial for Chrysler, he was attacked for supporting Obama. This wasn’t a commercial for socialized medicine, it was shilling for a giant corporation, for goodness’ sake. What are these people smoking?

ALIENS BACK SANTORUM!

According to the Weekly World News, the world’s only reliable news source (How do we know that? Because they told us so. And they wouldn’t lie to us, because they’re the world’s only reliable news source.), aliens from the planet Zeeba are throwing their support behind Rick Santorum.

“The Zeebans feel that Rick Santorum has what it takes to lead the United States, and therefore, the whole planet.  The Zeebans are pro-family, pro-gun (but only laser guns for self protection) and anti-abortion (it’s illegal on Planet Zeeba to harm ANY lifeform),” Dr. Susan Begley, of the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials, told WWN.  ”They also don’t believe in marriage between two of the same alien genders. They think that it would ultimately lead to the end of a species.”
