MSNBC's Exploding, Imploding Week

What is going on at MSNBC this week? Are various hosts making-up for the August doldrums?

All week, on most of the news websites I frequent, headlines have been shouting the latest MSNBC rants by obviously frustrated anchors such as Dylan Ratigan (The Dylan Ratigan Show), and Joe Scarborough (of Morning Joe), as well as Rachel Maddow's conspiracy theory about Texas Governor Rick Perry's religious associations now that he has decided to join the mess that is the GOP wannabe-prez-whiny-pageants.

Perry has leaked his intention to join the fray and will announce his bid over the weekend in an "official" declaration after saying numerous times over the year that he won't run. In fact, if anyone remembers, Mr. Perry wanted Texas to secede from the US of A not too long ago. Guess he's changed his mind about that and will now reach for more than a Texas Star in the mini-Galaxy of his brain.

If my snark seems biased, I am, indeed, biased. I find the likes of radical political positions combined with religious zealots to be a danger to any country that deems to be a democracy. Hey, even without a democracy I believe the world has seen what can happen when religion runs the political agenda of any nation/country. It ends up as bad news for anyone who doesn't agree with the fundamentals of the religion and often ends in death to thousands, incarceration of hundreds, wild-eyed hate and fear of those who live a different life and pray to a different God.

Scary is a small word to describe the direction of the GOP in America, as my chant of how the separation of church and state is growing into an ugly gray puddle of muck!

Where did these rigid, morally uptight-upright creatures off 1950's thinking such as  Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Tim Pawlenty, Jim DeMint (major Tea Party obstructionist in Congress) come from? What happened? Surely none of them dropped too much, if any, LSD in the 60's and early 70's to feel the spirit of the Lord cometh upon them and tap them on their shoulders to send them out to be fruitful and mutate into future zombies of national discordance.

But, let's go back to MSNBC's week of anchor meltdowns for a true view of how "progressive" America really thinks about the faces of deranged change to provide perspective. You may surprised in one or two cases.

Dylan Ratigan goes off: Dylan's Rant

Joe Scarborough tells the truth - and he's a Republican: Joe Explodes

Rachel Maddow uncovers a creepy conspiracy: Oh. My. God. No!

And then, to top it off, Mr. Urbane Lawrence O'Donnell went into a wandering almost rant that I'm still attempting to decipher over Stephen Colbert's tongue-in-cheek mischief by collecting PAC monies and what he is doing with it.

As I watched O'Donnell's The Last Word program last evening, I waited for O'Donnell to break out with a grin to say he was just kidding. It didn't happen. What planet is he living on these days? You decide. Uh, Are You Serious?
