<p>AZ Governor Janet Brewer, of draconian immigration measures fame, gave Obama a talkin&#8217; to when he got off the plane in Arizona.  If you haven&#8217;t been following the story, check it out <a href="http://photoblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/26/10245588-behind-the-obamabrewer-picture-a-very-attentive-photographer">the photographer&#8217;s story of how the photo came to be</a>, hear <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/gov-jan-brewer-calls-obama-thin-skinned-after-tarmac-encounter-did-she-go-too-far/2012/01/26/gIQAZXgfTQ_story.html">why Brewer called Obama &#8220;thin-skinned&#8221; after the encounter</a>, and read how the <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0112/72047.html">White House declared that the whole thing has been &#8220;blown out of proportion.&#8221;</a></p>

<p>Pictured above is Vice President Joe Biden and his wife chumming it up with the special interests of America&#8217;s most infamous street. Just because Wall Street got bailed out now every one can  come running for an alphabet bail out dealing with the cookie crunch and the counting crisis.</p>
<p>Personally we don&#8217;t think the VP should be meeting with such a raucous group of lobbyists but who are we to judge? The Muppet</p>

<p>We at USDemocrazy can know what it is like to lose our temper. But usually we sit down count backwards from 10 and think of a happy place. What happens when other people don&#8217;t do that? A football player gets socked in the face.</p>

<p>We here at USDemocrazy strive to inform you about the world. As we do so, we try not to tell you how or what to think. Well, today we are making an exception to our rule. We would like to state categorically: DON&#8217;T EVER MESS WITH Russian Prime Minister Vladimer PUTIN!! (Seen above)</p>
<p>What do you think this crazy rusky would say if you met him in a dark ally?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_7699" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 163px"><img class="size-full wp-image-7699  " title="ninja" src="http://www.usdemocrazy.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/ninja.jpeg" alt="http://www.amusebouchellc.com/ninja.jpg" width="153" height="263" /><p class="wp-caption-text">http://www.amusebouchellc.com/ninja.jpg</p></div>
<p>This week we are all over the place. From liberal Tea Partiers to supper ninjas we got you covered.</p>
<p><strong>Liberal Tea</strong>:</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t long ago when the now famous Tea Party was born. As it has grown, the movement has largely positioned itself to the right than the traditional Republican party. Now it seems the Tea Party folks may be <em>too liberal</em> for America.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.usdemocrazy.net/2010/05/20/antiestablishmentarianism-is-a-long-word-and-a-real-thing/">Take Rand Paul </a>the Tea Partier in Kentucky who is now the Republican candidate for Senate.  A new Public Policy Poll finds that more <a href="http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2010/05/paul-fact-of-day.html">Republicans think he too liberal than too conservative</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Frankenstein:</strong></p>
<p>Ever wanted to play God? Well scientists at the <span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.jcvi.org">J. Craig Venter Institute</a> are playing at it. <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20005533-1.html">They have succeeded in creating a synthetic life form. </a> The process took 15 years and $30 million. What did they create? Bacteria. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">You might think that for 30 mil they could do a little better than giving us a new strain of the flu.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Ninja Vigilantes</strong>:</span></p>
<p>A <a href="http://www.newser.com/story/89413/aussie-ninjas-foil-mugging.html">mugging in Australia</a> was stymied this week by a gallivanting group of ninjas. The brilliant muggers chose to carry out their crime right outside a ninja school. The ninjas who witnessed the attack, rushed to save the victim and proceeded to scare the bejesus out of the assailants.</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-7674"></span>Nelson The Ancient:</strong></p>
<p>Comedians love to make old people jokes about John McCain but what about Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson? <a href="http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/05/nelson-ive-never-used-an-atm----but-i-can-learn-i-know-about-holograms.php?ref=fpc">Nelson recently admitted to the world</a> that he has never used an ATM.</p>
<p>What will come next? Angrily shaking his fist at kids who come on his laws, watching Jeopardy, yelling at clouds?</p>
<p>Speaking of which here is our Weekly Caption Contest!</p>
<div id="attachment_7697" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-7697" title="grandpa_simpson_yelling_at_cloud" src="http://www.usdemocrazy.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/grandpa_simpson_yelling_at_cloud.jpeg" alt="The Simpsons" width="400" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Simpsons</p></div>
<p>What would you (or Sen. Nelson) be saying to that no good cloud. Leave us your caption suggestions or we will shake our fists at you!</p>

<p>But Baseball is the news of today&#8230;you heard it here first&#8230; the New York Yankees have drafted their own extra special player, President Obama. Why else would he be holding a Yankee&#8217;s jersey while smiling like the a kid in a candy store?</p>
<p>What position he will play? Let us know your thoughts.  If there is a bad call on the field don&#8217;t be surprised to hear chats of &#8220;Umpire reform&#8221; emanating from the White House.</p>
