Touchdown Jesus statue (before lightening) “Why has father forsaken me again?”

Going to visit my aunt/godmother at her new house, so expect light blogging today, if any.

• Of all the downright crazy things that Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) routinely says, it’s actually a dumb racist comment about Obama siding with Black people over Whites that earned him backlash from a Colorado Tea Party group.

• Glenn Beck’s fatherhood tips: includes “defend the defenseless” (unless they’re homeless), “teach kids not to lie, cheat or steal through example” (unless its even vaguely ideologically or politically advantageous), “never buy a CFL [energy-efficient fluorescent light bulb]” (because the environment is a meanie and deserves to be punished), and “real men” don’t use reusable grocery bags (they prefer to use the empty space in their skulls).
