EMP CRAZIES MAKE SHORT MOVIE



It took awhile but EMPAct America, the GOP lobbying group holding a conference this month on the approaching doom which will throw us back to the time of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, has cobbled together a longer promotional video.

And guess what? It's all the neat ones DD has been showing readers since July, combined. (See here for those.)

DD is flattered. He knows EMPAct America's speakers have read his disparaging essays.

Sadly, many less people are viewing EMPAct America's promo video than read his blog posts on EMP Crazy Theatre. C'mon readers, give that video a little more love!

Now, I'd like to draw attention to two of the speakers scheduled for EMPAct America's September convention. First -- Curt Weldon, a former Congressman from Pennsylvania. Like Rick Santorum, covered here last week as a new member of the EMP Crazy Club, Weldon pulled off the tough trick of being too right wing and insane in the fairly conservative state. Voters tossed him out and installed Democrat Jim Sestak.

But here is Weldon skedded as a conference speaker, certifiably, another of the EMP Crazy lobby's eminence grises, perhaps second only to Newt Gingrich.

However, the real toppermost of the poppermost is Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, who is not only an EMP crazy, but also a birther and a global warming denier.

"Trent Franks tells mob he'll seek Obama's birth certificate" is the title of this amusing blog post.

News of this was covered by a small Arizona newspaper here.

"Under Obama's health care plan, seniors would get the worst of it and the plan would 'blow a hole in freedom,'" [Franks] was said to have said by the Mohave Daily News.

Write an editorial on EMP for your local newspaper, recommends Newt Gingrich.
