Finally, 2010 is over with all the heart ache, BS and total lunacy and now we come to 2011……a new year? Does that mean stuff will change? (pause here for rib hurting laughter)……..NOT likely…but we can hope….HOPE!…you know that stuff that we had at the end of the 2008 election cycle…..do NOT hold your breath!
Take a day to spend with family, food, fun and football…..and I hope we have a good year together, as good if not better than last year……
Happy New Year, my friends…..
We have heard the darling of the Teabaggers use the term over and over…..but now she may have something there…..I have seen reputable media outlets say and print some really ridiculous stories…..but so far the most lame is this one from the Washington times:
From the pen of Robert Knight:
Sometimes just the threat of a wacko liberal ruling is enough to drive policy. That seems to be the reasoning behind Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates warning Congress to homosexualize the military before the courts do it. He said it would be disruptive if a court acts, so Congress should order up the lavender tanks instead.
I don’t recall a single reporter asking Mr. Gates why, if ending the policy by court order would harm the military, it would be less disruptive if done by the lame-duck Congress. Mr. Gates himself hinted at the answer: Training (i.e. brainwashing) could begin earlier. Think about that. Troops drawn from America’s heartland will be “trained” to appreciate sodomy – or else. Wonder if they’ll break out those little Maoist dunce caps while they’re at it?
I understand the opposition to the repeal of DADT……but to go this far and be this moronic is a new low for even the Washington Times……
Once again I will take a bit of time off and do the things that I have neglecting for many years….but I cannot leave my blog alone of a single day…yes, I am HOOKED! Here is your quotes of the week and if you read it then check out the political situation in the country…then I would say someone was very astute……
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.
Kahlil GibranIgnorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
William ShakespeareKnowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.
Plato (my description of our education problems)I prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Just few thoughts to get through another week…..thanx for reading…….
Once again I have spent way too much time on the news….I make notes on the things that catch my attention….some make it into posts and others are not that fortunate…..these are thoughts that were not enough to make it as a separate post…..
1–First people would talk on their cels while driving, then they went to texting while operating a vehicle and now you can get your cel with movies on them….now that ought to be good for the driving environment….
2–Report says that the employees of the US Congress owe $9.3 million in back taxes…
3– one of the best businesses in Iraq these days is…PORN!
4–How much is your ego worth? Well for Whitman it is worth $119 million of her own money to become governor of California………she wants to be the leader of a bankrupt state …….wait!…I am still working on this……
5–Do you remember the recent oil spill? I ask because it is NO longer news….but the wetlands are still choked off by oil…..
6–A high school football player from Sacramento was killed in an exercise machine accident. Justin Butler, 16, was found entangled in a Bowflex machine, a strength-training device marketed and sold by Nautilus Inc. Investigators say they don’t suspect the machine is to blame, nor do they believe it was a suicide.
Kinda reminds me of a button I wore back in the 80’s….”Eat well…stay fit…and die anyway….

You have heard of “March Madness”…you know when b/ball nuts go ape shit? Well….welcome to August Madness!
This is the time of year when morons and imbeciles go crazy. The time of year when Congress is on one of their many breaks and the Prez is on vacation and the political news is a bit thin.
So the internet conspiracists, whackos, hate merchants and total goof balls hit the air ways knowing that they can get some much coveted media attention. Whereas, if the politicians were actually working at their jobs then these idiots would be mostly ignored or ridiculed for the morons they really are.
This silliness will end when the overpaid and under worked representatives return to Washington to actually pretend that they are doing the business of the country. This unfortunate happening occurs every year and as each year comes about the silliness gets more and more pathetic. The really sad part is that some of the Congress actually buy into the craziness and then return to Washington like all is well and that they were just supporting the people. HA!
I had a post along the same lines and just wanted all to hear what Olbermann had to say in his special comment section of his show…..He is spot on and well said.

The media is still all over Obama and his admin for the incident…….where is the godd*mn outrage at the character assassination by a yellow journalist? Where is the f*cking outrage at some malignant politico that has NO remorse for destroying an innocent persons life? If these self-absorb morons that call themselves journalist cannot bring themselves to fight the political a/holes on the fringes then they need to retire and let “real” journalist have their jobs.
Some of these politics like to think themselves informed are nothing more than agents of the partisanship that they all bitch about……THEY ARE ALL COWARDS!

Subject” Marketing BS
Before the calls for my head start….I am NOT saying that Iran does NOT have devices that harm our troops….I am pointing out the lies and deception used to sell you a product or idea or whatever it is these liars use to influence…..
I recently saw an ad on the tube put on by Vote Vet…it is all about the explosive devices that the troops face in the ME and then they say the if oil goes up $1 then Iran gets another $1.5 billion to use on developing more explosives to use against out troops…..this is an ad to promote an alt energy plan for the US…..the problem I have with this is that the US gets NO direct oil from Iran and if we develop a program that we do not need ME oil it still will not make the troops safer…they will still get their money and they will still develop deadly devices to be used on our troops…..
Yes, there is more!
Another ad for the tube has doctors doing nimble gymnastics as they approach a patient and the voice over says that Doctors are the real heroes…..the problem I have with this one is that heroes are people to do a thing without thought of how it benefits them…..I have met NO doctors that fit into that category…..they became doctors for no reason only….THE MONEY!
I know it is just Marketing……but the point it is our whole lives we are lied to on every side…..politicians….salesmen…..media…..everyone lies to everyone…….this is the society that we have created……full of illusion and fecal matter…….
I know I am farting in the wind….but we all have to have something to bitch about….Happy Mother’s Day…..

2010/2012 Elections
I for one have been a bit of a critic of the whole Tea Party movement….not because of their agenda but rather some of their tactics…..to me, lies are just that LIES…it is not a political tactic….why?…if they lie about one thing, how can they be trusted to be truthful about the whole thing?
I recently observed a Tea Party thing on Tax Day…..if you have never been to one of these I suggest you give them a try……if for no other reason than the amusement……
I observed that their were two types or camps, if you will within the Tea Party movement……one part is the ones carry signs and spouting mottoes, like Don’t tread on me or no taxation without representation or….well you have heard them as well…..the other “camp” is the ones that are truly fed up and are approaching it in an intellectual and logical way….these want limited government, end the Fed, etc……I guess if you subscribe to the “camp” theory then there is the Palin camp and the Paul camp……
Palin-ites are the neocons that embrace emotional issues like abortion, pray in school, morality, so forth, what has been called “traditional values”……Paul-ites are the ones that think government is doing too much, responsibility, limited taxation, and does not embrace a rigid set of social morals…..
The one common belief or issue or whatever you would like to call it is…ANGER! Each faction expresses their anger differently……..but make no mistake…the American people are angry….but the question should be…how angry are they? If you watch FOX news then you would be more likely to believe that they, the people, are close to storming the castle gates with pitch forks and torches…..personally, I do not think they are that angry, at least not at this time……the media, all the media, is covering the Hell out of anything the Tea Party does…….not because it is such a dynamic movement, but rather because they missed the boat a year ago when the protests first started…..they are trying to make up for their past oversight to the point that they are making the movement more important than it really is…
The best analysis of the Tea Party movement will come in the mid-term election this year….we will then see just how angry the American people are….we are told that the people have little faith in Washington and that the Congress sucks and the two parties have little confidence….if all that is true then the Tea Party should make a difference in the upcoming elections….personally, I think the American people will revert back to the old reliable, Dems and Repubs…….Why? Because they ARE angry just not with their politician……it is always the other guy that is at fault…..
Once again I have found that I have made more notes than I have made posts…..I will continue my tradition of posting these thoughts as a post….
1–The worst governor in the US, Haley Barbour of Mississippi, may run for the GOP nomination in the 2012 election season…..my governor…. if that thought does not scare you then you are in a coma……ask me what type of president would he make….Please!
2–Some retired generals has issued a report saying that American children are too fat to fight in the armed services……
3–Carly Fiorino (sp?) has spent $59 million of her own money in her election campaign for senator…..spent that much cash to win a seat that pays about $200,000 a year….would you spend $1 million to win the job you have?
4–Tanning Beds have been viewed as addictive—–and the use may also include substance abuse…..why do we not ask Ohio’s Boehner, he has a perpetual tan and he seems to be the addictive type…..
5–Here is a unique idea–
“And I would have suggested, and I think that bartering is really good. Those doctors who you pay cash, you can barter, and that would get prices down in a hurry,” she said. “And I would say go out, go ahead out and pay cash for whatever your medical needs are, and go ahead and barter with your doctor.”
“Bartering with your doctor is not a new concept. There have been numerous reports as to how negotiating with your doctor is an option and doctors have gone on the record verifying this. Unfortunately, Harry Reid’s failed leadership forces us to take drastic measures.”
This from a GOP candidate trying to win Harry Reid’s senatorial seat from Nevada……..Barter with doctors? Yeah, those self-righteous, little dicks will let you paint their house for a by-pass surgery……Doctors are in it for the cash, that is why they all are specialists now……
6–You DO realize that 6 banks make up 63% of America’s GPD, right?
7–This should make one confident that the government is on your side–Senior staffers at the Securities and Exchange Commission spent hours surfing pornographic websites on government-issued computers while they were being paid to police the financial system, an agency watchdog says.
Seventeen of the employees were “at a senior level,” earning salaries of as much as $222,418. That is what I thought…..when the economy crashed these guys were watching Asian teens and flogging their jollies…..
Stay tuned….more amazing stuff to come……
Yea…that is right….even more mental masturbation……notes that I have taken and have yet to be a major posts…..
1–Sec. of Defense Robt. Gates recently said of the allies fighting in Afghanistan:
Gates warned that Europe’s aversion to war was doing serious harm to assorted US military operations with NATO backing, and was therefore “an impediment” to the lasting peace he envisions those wars eventually creating.
So fighting a war for peace is kinda like f*cking for virginity…in my book…a real lame ass statement……
2–Meeting of the Mind(less)–Before thousands of Minnesotans, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann delivered a hard-edged message Wednesday of freedoms threatened and an overreaching liberal government that must be stopped at the polls in the fall elections.
They pitched “common-sense conservatism,” wrapped in patriotic, down-home language, and voiced a repeated call to return Bachmann to Congress. Common sense? So it is common sense to cook up lies, hate and violence….?
3–“HE IS A SOCIALIST!” We have heard it all before, but wait…this is NOT about Obama….nope…Glenn Beck has called Mitt Romney a SOCIALIST!……
4–The South will do it again! VA. governor has issued a proclamation making April Confederate History Month, returning to a ploy by Repubs governors in the past…..okay if anyone goes South they will notice the pride that Southerns have for the Civil War…even though they lost…..they will say that it is about culture not racism…..okay let us look at that…..the Civil War was a treasonous war fought by rebels in the US of A….it is that simple!
5–Stormy Daniels from Louisiana is switching parties in her bid for a senate seat…..why is this news?
Stormy Daniels, the former porn star who has been debating whether to run for Senate in Louisiana for what seems like decades, says she’ll make her decision April 15. More important, she announced Tuesday that if she does run — because apparently she hasn’t had enough time to ponder that decision — she’ll do it as a Republican.
she said.
“While this decision has not been an easy one, recent events regarding Republican National Committee fundraising at Voyeur, an L.A.-based lesbian bondage-themed nightclub, finally tipped the scales,” she said in a statement. “For me, this spirit can be summed up in the RNC’s investment of donor funds at Voyeur. As someone who has worked extensively in both the club and film side of the adult entertainment industry, I know from experience that a mere $1,900 outlay at a club with the reputation of Voyeur is a clear indication of a frugal investment with a keen eye toward maximum return.”
She has my vote and I do not live in Louisiana……she could give the definition of backroom deals a whole new perspective….wink wink
6–With the economic picture not so bright there has been an increase of men getting vasectomies…..but there has also been an increase of the procedure around major sporting events like Super bowl, March madness and the Masters…..it is because the recovery from the surgery could give them cover from a nagging wife…but wait! the Masters? How fucking sick is a man that would have his nuts cut on so he could relax and watch golf unmolested?
7–08 April 2010–Tiger tees off at the Masters! Who fucking cares? Maybe now we can get back to real news and leave the gossip for smaller minds…
