Once again I have had many, many thoughts but not all make it into posts for various reasons…..I have notebooks full of notes and thoughts…..some good and some just plain silly…..
1–Can anyone please explain the popularity of reality TV? (asked several times with No good answer)
2–The first 6 months of 2012 have been the warmest ever.
3–Soap operas are disappearing at a good rate and yet someone thought Dallas resurrection would be healthy…I disagree.
4–STOP using the term “boots on the ground”….they are young men/women that are put in harm’s way….stop de-humanizing them.
5–STOP using “all in”….it is a bullshit term used by pathetic losers.
6–Stop using “kick the can down the road”…..call what it is….cowards refusing to act!
7–Can anything be more boring than watching someone fish?
8–Give me a sexy pundit other than SE Cupp.
9–Stop! The recent shooting will do NOTHING to further one side of the argument or the other…all it will do is give the MSM something else to fixate on for a week or so….
10-At what point will Americans stop bullshit arguments on bullshit topics and focus on the nation and what is best for the residents?
11-By this point in any election the whole dialog has become pathetic and tiresome.
12-If there is a true conserv out there, I know most will not read this blog, could you explain to me Mitt Romney? He has NO foreign policy…..NO domestic policy…..NO answers other than Obama sucks….What makes him a viable candidate? Other than Obama must be beat in November. I mean his biggest go to line is that he saved the Olympics…but actually government intervention saved the Utah Olympics….what is the real draw for Mitt?
13-By election time the Congress will have worked less than 180 days….where is that getting anything done?
14-Does the world really need flavored Vodkas?
15-Jack Abramoff: “During the years I was lobbying, I purveyed millions of my own and clients’ dollars to congressmen, especially at such decisive moments. I never contemplated that these payments were really just bribes, but they were. Like most dissembling Washington hacks, I viewed these payments as legitimate political contributions, expressions of my admiration of and fealty to the venerable statesman I needed to influence.”
“Outside our capital city (and its ever-prosperous contiguous counties), the campaign contributions of special interests are rightly seen as nothing but bribes. The purposeful dissonance of the political class enables congressmen to accept donations and solemnly recite their real oath of office: My vote is not for sale for a mere contribution. They are wrong. Their votes are very much for sale, only they don’t wish to admit it. The reason they don’t feel they are being bought is that the interaction seems so normal. In fact, were they not public servants, it would be very normal.”
16-I have already had this conversation with my readers but something came to light….A court filing by the state of Pennsylvania, ahead of a trial starting later this week on a lawsuit filed by civil rights groups against the state’s new voter fraud law, contains an astounding admission:
The state signed a stipulation agreement with lawyers for the plaintiffs which acknowledges there “have been no investigations or prosecutions of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania; and the parties do not have direct personal knowledge of any such investigations or prosecutions in other states.”
And then there is this from the Pennsylvania also…….
Pennsylvania Republicans aren’t shy about this fact. State GOP House Leader Mike Turzai recently admittedthe extent to which this law serves no purpose other than to elect Republicans:
“We are focused on making sure that we meet our obligations that we’ve talked about for years,” said Turzai in a speech to committee members Saturday. He mentioned the law among a laundry list of accomplishments made by the GOP-run legislature.
“Pro-Second Amendment? The Castle Doctrine, it’s done. First pro-life legislation — abortion facility regulations — in 22 years, done. Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done.”
17-here is some crazy stuff…..A Utah man tied to the state’s Republican party has been arrested on charges that he raped four women.
Gregory Nathan Peterson, 37, was booked Wednesday on 23 felony counts, including rape and kidnapping. Two of the alleged victims claim the incidents took place at Peterson’s cabin, where he has hosted a number of fundraisers featuring Utah’s most prominent politicians. Peterson’s bail has been set at $750,000.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports:
Charging documents allege sexual assaults against four women in Salt Lake County beginning March 26, 2011. In the first case, the documents allege, Peterson met a woman at a church function and she agreed to go to a movie with him.But instead of going to a theater, the papers allege, Peterson told the woman he had a gun and took her to his cabin in Heber. The documents allege he sexually assaulted the woman while she said no and hit her when she did not do as he wished. Peterson drove the woman back to her vehicle the next morning.
Okay there are a few thoughts….any suggestions or comments? Whatya think?
