( Alternative title to this post: " Beat It!" Senator Coleman!)

This past week, we've, sadly, had to say goodbye to some American icons; Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett and Micheal Jackson. One departure this week however has not saddened me at all. In fact, when I heard the news today, I looked for the nearest person to give a high-five to.Today, funny man, turned politician, Al Franken, took the 60th Democratic seat in Congress!

In traditional GOP fashion, Franken's Republican rival and moron , Coleman ( and by moron I mean loser, literally) demonstrated a very immature case of sour grapes by contesting the election results in a very dramatic, and over-drawn fashion. In case you're confused, this election was the same one in which we elected Barack Obama. Yes, you're math is correct, that was almost eight months ago!

To me, one of the poorest character traits one can have is that of being a sore loser. In addition, the ever-so-increasingly transparency of the GOP is really tiresome. Give it up already. You're a dying breed. I'm not even sure if they're behind any of the ideals that the party even stands for. Like Michael Jackson, the GOP is sorely misguided and on a long, and at times, bizarre road to ruin.I didn't want to see Michael pass so soon, however if the GOP disbanded I would throw a party in the street. Honestly, I think many members of the party would do the same. Enough is enough.

I was heartbroken to have heard the news of Michael Jackson. A brilliant talent and a legendary icon who entertained the world, met a sad end at what had become a sad , strange and reclusive life. However, my tears ceased today. Two of my loves, SNL and politics have now, by some miracle, or the Supreme Court, come together. The Gods, God or whomever or whatever oversees this crazy world, was certainly smiling on me today. In a lame attempt at a tribute to Michael Jackson, this news definitely " Rocks My World".

Having sat in a very rainy New England this past month, I'm hopeful that this little ray of figurative sunshine will go a long way.

Rest in peace Ed, Farrah and Michael. Senator Coleman, I heard there are great deals to Argentina, just ask your buddy Governor Sanford!

Ahh... I wish that I could say that hearing about ( yet another) Republican be proven to be a gigantic hypocrite pleased me. However, these days, they're popping up so frequently that I'   more »

This has been the mantra of the white, male members of the GOP lately. Wait, you didn't hear Pat Buchannan stating last week that white men are being discriminated against ? To think, the man is being stuck it to, HA!

Waaa waaa waaa, Obama actually wants to give a woman, and a woman of color a voice on the Supreme Court. Hmmm, last time I checked, white men have been running the shots since the inception of America. To be honest, even if Sotomayor is appointed to the Supreme Court, they will continue to for some time to come.

Therefore Repbus, relax. And, by relax, I mean quit spending every ounce of your energy on blocking Sotomayor's confirmation. Today, certain senators ( I'll let you guess on their party affiliation, gender and race) were crying " foul" over the fact that Sotomayor is a member of an exclusive, all female club, the Belizean Grove. Hmm.. last I checked it was the all-white, all WASP country clubs that were the clubs that discriminate against women, people of color, Jewish people and anyone who isn't, well... a WASP.

Good for anyone who wants to come together to celebrate acceptance, tolerance and each other. Sotomayor's not alone. Sotomayor's supporters pointed out that the court's only current female justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, belongs to the membership-only International Women's Forum. So did former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who defended her involvement in all-women groups during her Senate confirmation hearings.

Funny, certain cranky senators did the same thing to a white woman, a Jewish woman, and now, a Puerto Rican American woman. I wouldn't doubt that after trying to prevent any real change in this country, these guys head to their respective, exclusive clubs to play a round of golf and congratulate themselves about being the masters of the universe.

Some things never change.

We all know that the GOP HATES change, especially the ones with particularly greedy fingers in some particularly deep, corporate special interest's pockets. However, what has begun to scare them the most, is that change is happening. And, try as they might to stop it, it's coming, and hopefully will change the face of American politics as we know it.

It seems like the only minorities these days, are the members of the GOP.

Munch on that food for thought.

One makes me laugh, one makes me cry, scream, tear my hair out and indulge in nasty ( and, at times) violent fantasies involving a certain Alaskan snow queen riding a ski mobile off of the bridge to nowhere.

This week, during David Letterman's “Top Ten", he used Palin's recent visit to NYC as his guide. Seen as how I rarely laugh when it comes to anything about that woman, it was nice to be able to hear that someone was able to find humor in that repulsive excuse for a politician. Now, comments like “Bought lipstick at Bloomingdales to keep up my slutty flight attendant image" are definitely funny and the comment in question,” went to the Yankees game and my daughter got knocked up by Alex Rodriguez" is still funny, but I will admit, in very poor taste.

Unfortunately, Letterman aimed that remark at her 18 year old daughter Bristol. You know that one that had premarital sex and ended up an unwed, teenage mother even though her mother is a crazy, no-sex-ed-in-schools, evangelist? Now, what Dave failed to realize is that it was Palin's 14 year old daughter, Willow that accompanied her. What was a mistake in lapse in judgment on Dave's part became a moment of opportunity to make herself relevant for Palin.

Now, Palin is accusing Letterman of making perverse comments about statutory rape and does not want her daughter anywhere near him because he's a " perverted 62 year old man". Come on Sarah, nobody would blame you to stick up for your kids, or be highly offended for that matter, but stop making a mountain out of a molehill. You're just clutching to any hint of some time in the limelight.

I had the extreme misfortune of hearing that dreaded woman on the Today Show as I was getting ready. She had the nerve to try and defend all derogatory statements against women and cry “double standard".

WAAA WAAA WAAA Sarah.

Although I don't condone Letterman's remarks, his at least, were meant to get a laugh. Your comments on the other hand inspire hatred, prejudice, and rage. You are THE pot calling the kettle black here. You incited your audience with ludicrous accusations against our current president, calling him a “terrorist". You listened to your base scream murderous intentions and you did NOTHING. When asked about it, you insidiously defended your statements; in face you tried to reinforce them. At least Dave offered you and your family an apology.

In a day and age, when just in the last two weeks, people have died at the hands of those who act on comments like yours, you should think twice about what's coming out of your mouth. I know that I'm asking too much as I doubt that you have the ability to think at all, let alone twice.

You spent the better part of a year parading your family around. You led your lambs to the slaughter that is our media. I'm not defending out media either, but you, as well as the rest of America, know how brutal it can be. You made a choice to be in the limelight. Whatever happens after that is a direct result of YOUR choices. Just last week your daughter was on the cover of PEOPLE holding her child out of wedlock. I have a right mind to believe you were the one who orchestrated the article to begin with.

Sarah, you, like Gingrich, Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Riley and Coulter are all hateful and irrelevant people. All I've heard from any of you is insidious, baseless, hateful and prejudiced remarks about anything and all to the far left of your extreme right. I hear criticisms but no solutions. Your agenda solely consists of scaring and angering your constituents into blindly following your ridiculous policies.

I don't know about you, but I can't wait until the “Top Ten Reasons Sarah Palin lost the nomination bid in 2012".

Now wouldn't that be nice? Have a great weekend!

And, yes, the GOP is the dead horse in question.

I have to say, day after day, or irrelevant speech after irrelevant speech given by former leaders turned burnt out boobs from the GOP, I continue to be amazed how they manage to sink the Repubs further and further into oblivion. At this point, my odds are on finding Hoffa's body and who actually killed JFK as well as discovering life in space is much more likely than the GOP saving themselves.

Please, you are making this way too easy for me! Give me a challenge! Make me do some clever research; force me to put an abstract spin on a viable and relevant leader. I’m not even asking for a relevant Republican political leader, I'm including thought leaders as well. I mean come on! That twit Romney and that idiot Palin are a joke. Those hateful fear mongers Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Riley and Coulter offer up a lot of negativity, hatred and criticism, yet are empty on any sort of solution. I should also add that having that devil Cheney and unremarkable Gingrich blowing smoke isn't helping them either.

When will they wake up and (finally) realize that they need new (intelligent) and (relevant) former leaders to work together on revamping the entire GOP.

Am I offering up too much sound advice to the dreaded other side? Maybe, but at this point, they need all of the help that they can get.

P.S. Certain Dems (specifically some in Mass.) are NOT making things look good for us either. Get a grip, and pronto!
