Al Sharpton has stopped suborning perjury for a minute to race bait again. Is there anyone who is surprised? Anyone? I mean, you stick with what you are good at, right? If he had to work for a living, and actually preach the word of God- he would be pretty hungry, no doubt. He might even have to get a real job.
But Mr. Sharpton has decided that the Oscars, another narcissistic program designed to make sure that you are paying attention to celebrities, is racist. Oh the horror. Let's look at it, shall we? It would seem that every person nominated for an Oscar this year is not black. Well, if Mr. Sharpton wants racial equality-he hasn't really thought it through.
76.3 percent of the NBA is black. That is a huge over representation, isn't it? 68.3 percent of the NFL is black, where are the protests and headlines? I imagine the first argument would be that they are the best players. So what? Mr. Sharpton wants racial diversity!
12.61 percent of the nation identifies as African American according to the latest census. If you do the math, you see that they are seriously over represented in sports, but when was the last time you saw Joel Osteen leading a protest? Also, 39.4 percent of the prison population is black!
If Sharpton wants to work on something, how about he tackle that? How about if he look into the percentage of black children who are being raised in a household with two parents? Only 33 percent of black children are being raised in a family with both parents in the same household! But Sharpton has his silk panties in a bunch because there weren't enough blacks nominated for a narcissistic award by a bunch of self involved folks who play pretend for a living.
Tackle black on black crime, Al. Mayor Guiliani was correct when he pointed out that 93 percent of crimes against blacks are perpetuated by other blacks. The politically correct went batcrap crazy, but it is true. Why aren't you tackling that issue, Al? Have a march or something. Draw some interest in blacks killing blacks in record numbers. Get your pal, Reverend Baby Daddy to give a speech from the white house.
Do something about it besides blaming white people.
But back to the Oscars. The last oscar winning movie that I liked was Forrest Gump. When it won, I didn't think I would like the movie, and actively avoided it. Imagine my surprise when it didn't suck. If awards are given to the best person in a category- like hiring the best athlete for the job-shouldn't we just be color blind about it? Of course, there would be less money in it for the professional race baiters, wouldn't there? Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Chris Kyle was an Amazing Hero! His Detractors? Not So Much
I was not surprised to see another fading celebrity trying desperately to remain relevant. Bill Maher-HBO's poster child for all things libtard- has jumped on the bandwagon of criticism of Chris Kyle. Maher, whose sole contribution to the planet is an infrequently watched program on HBO that was so crappy he got scrapped from ABC. He claims to be politically incorrect, but he is just another snarky, unfunny mouth piece for the left. They hate anything and everything that celebrates the United States of America. When they had to feign patriotism after September 11th, it galled them. Now, back in their ivory towers and gated communities, they can once again spout the ignorant blather that makes them so popular with the liberals whose approval they pathetically seek.
Bill Maher was a stand up comedian 30 years ago. He did so well at that that he had to try television. Yeah, he's a hoot.
I look forward to watching American Sniper. Chris Kyle was an American hero, and had he been doing things that would have hurt the United States while at war (hello Hanoi Jane) he would have been a cause celebre the likes of which we would teach school children for years.
Micheal Moore claims he had an uncle that was killed by a sniper. Ok. It must be one of the many reasons he schleps around unshaven in that dumb hat while living in a mansion behind walls in a gated community. No doubt. The problem is, no one can find the uncle Mr. Moore made up. He had an uncle that was killed in World War II, but researchers can't find any sniper that was involved. Another lie for Mr. Moore. He is good at that anyway. He had made an asinine claim that Cuba's health care was superior to ours because it was free. He still doesn't understand the mart of competitive commerce, or he would understand that nothing is ever really free when the government is involved. He is the grand daddy of liberal hypocrisy and pound for pound the biggest libtard in the world. He never lets a little thing like truth get in his way or his "art." Back when he released the craptacular Fahrenheit 911 he lied so much that a documentary correcting his endless lies was released. Faren-hype 911 did an amazing job of untelling the lies that Moore tried to float. It showed the rest of the interviews that Moore used and edited to say what he wanted said, versus the truth. I recommend it for anyone who wants the truth, not the pablum that Hollywood liberals want you to believe.
Enter now Seth Rogen. I always thought that he was mildly amusing, he plays the same guy over and over to greater or less success. There is usually at least one scene of him smoking marijuana, I expect there is a reason for that. I am certain that he memorizes words and repeats them back just as well as any of the other overpaid actors in the world today.
The mistake he made was in thinking that his opinion was somehow more relevant. His comparison of Chris Kyle to nazis (even if they were in a movie) was disgusting and demeaning. The idea that a real honest to God hero would be held in derision speaks more about the envy and hate teaming in Mr. Rogen's soul than in the wonderful job Mr. Kyle did for his country.
Perhaps the choom gang should stick to things that they have the slightest bit of expertise on-bongs, weed, and semi-funny comedies aimed at the lowest common denominator.
I don't delve into an entertainers politics. I prefer to think that everyone has the sense God gave a stump. I enjoy their movies until they make it obvious that they don't in fact have superior wisdom to that stump. when that happens, I stop supporting their work.
I don't pay to see their movies. I don't buy their dvds. I don't watch them when they are on television. Eventually, it catches up with them. If more people supported their political beliefs with their pocket books, Hollywood would be forced to change their tune. Even they can't keep releasing their crap and losing money. Look at the Dixie Chicks. I hope they polish that grammy. It was the last recognition they received, and they broke up soon after. Good.
I hope that Rogen and Moore soon join them on the trash heap of modern pop culture. No one would deserve it more.
If the only way that you can attempt to resuscitate your dying careers is to try and detract from a bonafide American Hero, maybe you should check out the center square on Hollywood Squares. Because, other than that, your career is over. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

This Just IN: More Celebrities Gather For Self-Aggrandizing "Award" Show
Let me be straight forward and admit-the last Oscar winning movie that I liked was Forrest Gump. I don't care for Tom Hanks personally, he is a liberal cheating tool, and his wife has a career that is semi successful because she hooked up with the married Mr. Hanks and believes that just because he cheated on his first wife with her, he is now on the monogamy band wagon.
That being said, Oscar's, Emmy's, Grammy's are all simply narcissistic gatherings. Remember when the Dixie Chicks won a grammy for their poorly sold last album? Who didn't think it wasn't a pity award? There was as much legitimacy for that award, as there was for Pia Zadora's award all those years ago. One was a message, the other was a gift. A distinction without a difference.
I don't watch award programs. I don't care who won what for which or what they wore. I have never ever laughed at anything Tina Fey or Amy Poehler have said. If anything, I have wondered what talent it is they possess to get them where they are today.
I don't care about the dresses. Isn't it ironic that these neo-socialist performers spend more on dresses than many families earn in a year? But they are just folks-like the rest of us.
Have you ever heard about the 'goody bags' that these celebrities receive, just for showing up? This year, it was A purse, make up, sunglasses and more from Anastasia Beverly Hills, Bugatti, Gucci, L'Oreal Paris, Rituals, Ross& Brown, and StriVectin for the women and the lucky fellows received 4711 Cologne, And other wonders from Bumble and Bumble, Container Store, Equinox, Gold Toe, Hello Product, L'Oreal Paris,Lug Life, Martial Vivot, Misfit Shine, S'well, Ursa Major and Zirh.
The majority of those products, I will admit, I am unfamiliar with. But then, I don't need name brand bags to carry my devices, either.
I don't care what they think of themselves. I imagine they think pretty highly, it would only stand to reason. I don't see a bunch of missionaries and the like signing up for their type of life.
However, if you are going to seek out the spot light, don't start complaining and asking for privacy when and if you do manage to become famous. It doesn't float.
So,all things considered, I don't mind my life. At least I don't have to dress up and pretend I have a bunch of noble causes I need to publicize to justify my endless need for attention. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

They Are All Hate Crimes
I read today that some police union wants police murders to be classified as hate crimes. You think? If someone takes the time to shoot, strangle, stab, asphyxiate, or otherwise harm you until you are dead-doesn't that qualify as hate?
I despise the term 'hate crime.' I have yet to see anyone that has been murdered have it done by an uninterested bystander. Hate is going to come into play every time. That just stands to reason. If I ever get a bead on my ex, you can believe that they would classify it as a hate crime, although at this point, the hate has cooled into pity and disgust. But the idea of calling any murder more heinous by putting the special label of hate crime on it is absurd.
I am not a huge fan of police in general. Before you get those panties in a bunch and begin sending me outraged comments (are you listening Papa John's drivers???) I will explain. I understand that police are often the line of defense between me and the bad guys. I understand that police willingly put their lives in danger for a pay check. I also understand that they are there to help-in theory- and not every cop is as crooked as the ones in the town that I live in. But I have yet to see those police officers.
What I see are cops that have their own sets of rules. Here is an example: In this town that I live in- there was a cop that left his wife and three teenage daughters for an 18 year old informant that had several relationships with several officers. Quality shows, right? Well this particular officer took a camper that was gifted to the police department from Homeland Security and sold it to his parents for $4500. What a guy, right?
It happens all of the time. They are given 50,000 dollar cars for their own use ( because you need that cop car to do your grocery shopping) and they are overpaid. If our troops can live on what they are paid-why are cops making so much money? Don't tell me that it's because we couldn't get any cops if we didn't pay that much.
There is a certain mentality, and they would be cops for free. (Which is ironically what they are worth)
I understand that police are the last line between me and bad guys. Except of course when they are the bad guys. I understand that they could get shot every day. Except for those days when they are just sitting side by side in a parking lot, talking to each other for a couple of hours. I'm not saying we don't need police. I am saying we need better guidelines to weed out the rejects. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

If Your Child has a 'Hoo-Hah' (warning semi salty language ahead)
I try to avoid any article that has the names 'Pitt' or 'Jolie' in it. I never saw the appeal of him and after that curious time when she was dry humping her brother and amazed at the negative response to it- I have written her off as a home wrecking whore. Call me crazy.
Not long after interrupting Billy Bob Thorton's engagement to another woman, she realized that being lucky number five wasn't all that great. She bought a child and that seems to be the end of their relationship. At the time of the adoption/ child buying I had no idea how difficult it is to adopt a child from another country. I have since been educated by a friend and her husband who have been trying to adopt a little boy for the last three years.
First off, unless you are Ed McMahon or some family humping celebrity-it is kind of time consuming and expensive to adopt a child from another country. Unless you are Ed McMahon or the a fore mentioned family humper- you will be required to explain how long you have been married. You will have to explain your finances. You will have to pay lots and lots of fees, and it will take many months or even years, to get all of the earlier mentioned hurdles crossed. It takes a lot of time, unless you are Ed or the familial dry humper.
In the real world, you can be too old to adopt. You can be rejected for not being married if you are just a regular person. You can also not meet the criteria for adoption if you don't have enough stability to anchor a house in the real world. That being said, this article went on to explain that the daughter of these two unfortunate blights wants to be a boy now, and the two are indulging her. The article even referred to this little girl as John, instead of the stupid name Shiloh that they hooked her with as a baby. My eyes almost rolled out of my head.
Several thoughts ran through my head as I was reading this stupidity. First thought: man, for a bunch of people who claim to want privacy-they sure do whore themselves out to the cameras quite a bit. Yikes. I saw that horrid movie Maleficient while on vacation, simply because it was free and I was bored. I still want my money back. I couldn't stay for the whole thing, it was a great concept poorly acted by Ms. Jolie. But I remember how she shunned the limelight constantly by making appearances with their group of children in order to polish that particular turd.
Second, I wondered why that eight year old girl is calling the shots in their house. You know how much control I had in my family when I was eight? Squat. That's right, zero. If I had decided that I wanted to be a boy and be called "john" my family would have teased the crap out of me until I came to my senses. Heck, why not call her "Flicka" and keep her in a stable?? Feed her hay and buy her a saddle. It will be a lot less expensive than buying her a penis later in life. Of course, they'll have to do something about her menstruation cycles in a few years, too. Maybe by that time, she will have gotten the psychological counseling she needs. Don't count on it.
If you or I fostered the psychological harm of the wrong sex on one of our children-the useless entity known as Child Protective Services would have snatched that child out of our homes faster than you can say "brother dry humping home wrecking whore." Now wouldn't they?
God doesn't make mistakes. If your child has a penis, it is a boy child. No matter how you damage the child into thinking that he wants to be a girl, the penis is the determining factor. God doesn't make mistakes. Conversely, if you are looking at a hoo hah when she is born, no number of suits, stupid haircuts, or ridiculous indulgences are going to change the fact that you have a girl on your hands. How are they going to explain to 'john' when he gets a menstrual period? Or boobs? Or were they planning on some kind of hormone therapy to indulge their daughter's psychosis even more? How fast would your child be removed if you tried that? Think about it, you'll thank me later.

The Yeti's Kids vs. President Bush's Children
I love double standards, don't you? Recently Elizabeth Lauten wrote some things on a facebook post that was directed toward the children residing in the White house. "Try showing a little class," she wrote in a post addressed to the girls."Rise to the occasion. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at the bar," she continued. "And certainly don't make faces during a televised event.
The left side of the aisle worked itself into such a monumental panty twist that the poor woman was fired from her job. So much for freedom of speech, right? I guess first amendment rights only occur when it is agreed upon by the left? That would explain these gems, wouldn't it?
Negative articles about Chelsea Clinton? That would be zero. Negative articles about the current administration? You guessed it-zero. No wonder Ms. Lauten's public criticism caused so many heads to explode. She must not have gotten the note about ignoring the children of Democrats in office. That would explain the zero publicity for Biden's kids as well. Never mind age limits, give him a commission in the Navy! Yeah, that seems about right. Drug arrests? No problem. They don't count if we don't talk about it. Tell me that joke about no bias in the media again, I love the punchline! Fairness is fine if everyone gets it. When we don't, it would be nice if the people in charge of pointing it out were up to

Two Pine Cones and a Sock
I have written about my dog, Caliope before. I have shared that she will eat many any strange and exotic thing that a lot of dogs would take a pass on eating. Last night I had to rush my dog to the veterinarian's because she began bleeding. Thanks and eternal gratitude to my friend Connie who dropped what she was doing and came on the run. She even brought a wheel barrow in case we needed one. (We didn't, thank God)
Next, we got to Dr. Kay's office, even though it was after hours, she waited for us to get there. She is hands down the best vet I have ever had. Caliope was okay to walk into the office, and then after an ultrasound, it was discovered that she had eaten, that is to say, swallowed whole, two (because really, one just awakens your appetite without bedding it down) pine cones and my missing sock. They had moved far enough down her intestines to be within striking distance so to speak. Dr. Kay decided against opening her intestines and with some dilation, went after them the other way. She allowed me to stay with Caliope while she did the procedure.
As she pulled the very large (and disgusting mass) from my dog's south end, she said she loved the glamour of her job. Caliope was given three units of fluids and then she peed most of it out, or enough to tell us her kidneys were on board.
Finally, Dr. Kay let me lay on the recovery table with my big dumb dog as she awoke. Caliope licked my face twice and then burped a noxious, foul smell. Been there done that.
So after a few more hours of observation, we got to come home. Caliope would not have been a good patient, she suffers from separation anxiety the way Jeffrey Dahmer had cravings. We got home around five A.M. and the list of things that I must go for this dog when she goes to the bathroom are proof positive that I love her.
Three days of a rice diet, and then we move her up to eating more solid foods. Bad news, Caliope isn't allowed any oranges or citrus fruit until she is completely healed. She also has to balance her roughage (a euphemism we use for all of the fruits and vegetables and assorted strangeness she loves to consume) with the bland food she will be eating until her hieney heals.
But now that it is over and the blind panic of losing the best dog ever is over, I am so thankful that God spared my big, dumb dog. I cannot imagine what I would do without her. If you have a pet, give them a hug. You never know when you are two pine cones and a sock from losing them. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

As she pulled the very large (and disgusting mass) from my dog's south end, she said she loved the glamour of her job. Caliope was given three units of fluids and then she peed most of it out, or enough to tell us her kidneys were on board.
Finally, Dr. Kay let me lay on the recovery table with my big dumb dog as she awoke. Caliope licked my face twice and then burped a noxious, foul smell. Been there done that.
So after a few more hours of observation, we got to come home. Caliope would not have been a good patient, she suffers from separation anxiety the way Jeffrey Dahmer had cravings. We got home around five A.M. and the list of things that I must go for this dog when she goes to the bathroom are proof positive that I love her.
Three days of a rice diet, and then we move her up to eating more solid foods. Bad news, Caliope isn't allowed any oranges or citrus fruit until she is completely healed. She also has to balance her roughage (a euphemism we use for all of the fruits and vegetables and assorted strangeness she loves to consume) with the bland food she will be eating until her hieney heals.
But now that it is over and the blind panic of losing the best dog ever is over, I am so thankful that God spared my big, dumb dog. I cannot imagine what I would do without her. If you have a pet, give them a hug. You never know when you are two pine cones and a sock from losing them. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Black Friday Isn't Racist, You Unprepossessing Moron
I don't watch the View. I would rather dry sand my eyeballs than sit for an hour listening to three liberal morons shout down one psuedo conservative. But from time to time the sheer stupidity of one of them makes the rounds.
Recently Joy Behar worried that 'Black Friday' sales were racist. She should try cognitive thought. It's all the rage these days.
To educate the ignorant Ms. Behar- there is a term for being financially solvent. "In the black" has come to mean that an entity is out of the red and into solvency. Black Friday sales mean that a store is going to be in the profitable category. For those of us who actually work and produce things (besides hot air and asinine comments) this is a very big deal.
Does it hurt to take five minutes and research something? Surely even her phone can google something, can't it?
One thing that I do think can be curbed is the urge to be open on Thanksgiving night to jump start the sales. I understand how retail works. For ten years I was mandated to work on every Holiday except Christmas. Now that I call the shots, I won't do it. If you need something desperately on a Sunday or Holiday, give me a call. I will open for five minutes while you make your purchase. But I won't open for the day. That's crazy talk.
In the current economy everyone has to do whatever they can to make it. Five summers past the 'recovery' still finds many people hurting. I understand that. But it isn't that much of a stretch to do the right thing for families and close down on Holidays, is it?
When I was younger, we had to plan a head for Holidays. Everyone knew that the only thing open on Christmas day was the convenience store gas station. If you needed marshmallows, your only choice was to borrow or pay three bucks for them. You learned to think ahead.
I hope we all have a blessed Holiday. Remember that it is Jesus's birthday ( and yes, I know He was more than likely born in the Spring, but we are celebrating His birth, get over it) and enjoy your families and loved ones.
They will still love you, even if you didn't slap someone out of the way of the latest new video game on sale. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Don't Screw This Up GOP
Did you vote? If you didn't, shame on you! You have no business fussing if you can't be bothered to vote. You did? Good on you! You may have been part of the shellacking that was administered to B.O. and company. Minority Leader Harry Reid has a lovely ring to it, doesn't it?
So does Speaker Gowdy, but one thing at a time.
The will of the people doesn't seem to be a big priority for the current administration, does it? He is woefully lacking in knowledge about the U S Justice system. Odd, since he and the Mrs. supposedly went to law school. Of course, she voluntarily gave up her license to avoid the stink, and he can't really explain why someone would pay all of that ,money for an education and then never use it.
I have a lot of things that I would like to see accomplished. Here is the shortlist:

I have a lot of things that I would like to see accomplished. Here is the shortlist:
- Defund the immigration department that would keep those 5 million illegal aliens here.
- Defund Obamacare, piece by piece. Start with the medical device tax.
- Remove the tanning tax
- Secure our borders by building the wall to keep the illegals out.
- revoke the 18th Amendment that the idiot judge used as the basis for anchor babies. If there are any former slaves from the 1800's still affected by this, deal with them on a case by case basis
- Get to the bottom of what happened in Benghazi 7.Remove the Department of Education-save us a ton of money 8.Impeach, impeach impeach I expect them to get things done, and start undoing the damage of the last 6 years. I am proud of them for managing what they did in the last four years, at least as far as stopping the worst of B.O. jack assery. But now I want results, not more politics as usual. No more across the aisle, bipartisan screwing around. Open things up to allow the democrats to get on board, but if they want to just throw sand in the works, why former Majority Leader Reid mapped out the way to skip things and use the nuclear option, didn't he?
It's not being overly dramatic to state that the fate of our Republic rests on the new congress getting things done. We had a lot of work undoing the for long years that Carter messed things up, and now, we don't have a President Reagan to lead the fight. Pray for our new leaders. They need all of the help that they can get. You'll thank me later.

Wasting My Time
I have a small retail business, I am sure that I have mentioned it a few times. From time to time, I have to vent about the mindless jack assery from people. Today is one of those days. On occasion I advertise some of the things I have for sale in my store online.
I recently came to have a ton of baby items for sale. I have a double stroller, a regular stroller and baby swing and some other things for sale. They are very fairly priced. Last week a woman asked about the double stroller. She is in dire need of one and wanted to know if I would set it back for her until today. I said I would. Well of course, she waited until the last moment to call and tell me her sob story. Money is tight. sob. They have too many bills this month.sob. Could I possible take less for the stroller??? I have a one word answer in those situations. No.
And that deposit? Forget about it.
I am a huge lover of a bargain, believe me. But to try and weasel like that is unacceptable. I told two people last week that it was sold, hopefully one of them still needs a stroller. Keep your word people.
I have been through hard times. I married an idiot and live in a town that is more crooked than a jigsaw puzzle. I understand hard times. I don't understand begging. You can go through life on your feet or your knees. The view is much better on your feet.
Which isn't to say that I don't have compassion for those in genuine need. I do. I believe that we all the obligation to help those who are less fortunate. But if you think that your sob story is the ticket to free stuff, you would be wrong. Offer to make payments. Offer to do something besides work out your sad story and flex your palm.
Now that Christmas is almost here, I know the deluge of begging/sob stories will be endless. Let me make it easier for you. If you smoke, don't come begging from me. If you can afford five bucks a day for your habit, you don't need my charity. If you have cable, ditto. I'm not trying to be a hard ass, but the world is full of choices. Some are easy, some wait a while before they bite you in the butt.
Too many people get in the reflexive position of begging. Stop. I'll help you if you really need it, but don't take advantage of it. Think about it. You'll thank me later
