When did crazy become the new normal for Republicans?

Hi, boys and girls! I apologize that it’s taken me all day to write this post but I’ve been busy with a variety worthwhile weekend projects (translation: eating cake and taking naps) here at Howdygram headquarters. Thank you for your support.

From our Let’s Try Giving Them Away department, now through March 5 participating Burger King restaurants are offering a BOGO (buy one get one free) deal on their chicken sandwiches, which includes the Original Chicken Sandwich, the Chicken Club Sandwich and the Italian Chicken Sandwich. I’m not sure this is really as exciting as it sounds.

In case you don’t have anything special on your agenda tonight you might want to watch “Clinton” on PBS. It’s a two-part, four-hour look at his life and complex presidency. Here in Texas the program starts at 8; the second part airs tomorrow night. I’ll make popcorn if I can find some in the pantry.

And now let’s take a closer look at the terrifying insanity of GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum. This is the Einstein whose 18th century hard-core religious beliefs compel him to publicly denounce:

• Pornography in any form whatsoever.
• Contraception because he says it’s dangerous and doesn’t work.
• Abortion, even in cases of rape, because these babies are “gifts from God.”
• President Obama’s entire political agenda because it’s not “based on the Bible.”
• Our national health insurance mandate for free pre-natal care for pregnant women, because it’s actually President Obama’s secret cover-up plan to cull potentially disabled Americans from the population. Santorum believes that women who have access to free pre-natal care will automatically ask for an abortion if they find out they’re carrying a “defective fetus.” 

And if that’s not enough to scare the crap out of you, when Santorum’s wife miscarried in 1996 they took the corpse, whom they named Gabriel, home to introduce “your brother Gabriel” to the other children. My question is, when did crazy become the new normal for Republicans? WAKE UP, PEOPLE.

Thank you for putting up with me. It’s time for dinner.
