Now that Clinton is involved in the Sestak scandal, I thought this would be a good time to post your "wag the dog" scenarios that Bam may use to divert attention away from what could be his downfall.Clinton used the military to bomb an asprin factory, when he was embroiled in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The BP gusher won't help Bam, because that's old news at this point. He may use the military, but, that may be to obvious. If you got a scenario that may be likely, post it here!

2009 will probably go down as the Year of Stupid. Everywhere you look you see birthers, deathers, deniers, tea fetishists, and semi-literate amateur pundits screaming and frothing over their unsupported, repeatedly debunked line of argument. They are wrong. Dead wrong. Distractingly, even dangerously wrong.

They'll disrupt town hall meetings, Congressional addresses, and children's birthday parties to remind you, just in case you allowed yourself to forget for even a moment, of just how painfully stupid they...
