Sean Penn, Please Shut Up Now

I heard an expression in a movie. I can't remember which one or I would give it credit here. The actor said, "Some people are educated beyond their intelligence."  This is truly the case with Sean Penn, although I wonder what sort of education it is that he has.  Wasn't it this same Rhodes Scholar that went to Iraq to visit with Hussein (the other one) and told us everything was fine there?  He must have been looking the other way on the tour when the rape rooms, mass graves, and attempts to enrich plutonium were being presented.
Surely they showed him everything, didn't they?  Otherwise, that would make him a dupe, wouldn't it?  Is he on some sort of list that dictators have access to, a list that show which gullible morons are available for a photo op? The actress Maria Conchita Alonzo wrote a wonderful open letter to Mr. Penn.  Google it for yourself.  You will find it very well written and concise.  Perhaps Mr. Penn would be better served to spend his time memorizing words to repeat later.  Because much like B.O.,without someone putting the words in his mouth, he tends to make a fool of himself.
Why do actors believe that they have some sort of elevated status that makes them more knowledgeable about anything?  The whole crux of their lives is spent memorizing words to say back to someone in a particular order.  Perhaps he, like the rest of them, should stick with what he is trained to do.  Obviously, world politics is beyond his scope.  Didn't he promise to move away when George W. Bush won the election? Did he go, then come back?  I wish I knew.  I also wish I knew who let him back in, I would have a few words for that idiot.  Maybe we should just stop patronizing Hollywood for a while.  Perhaps if he had to work for a living, he wouldn't have so much spare time to look so stupid.  I'll let you know if that's possible, and you can thank me later.  

It Is W's Fault

I have found out that I have a medical problem that I thought had gone away.  It's not gonorrhea or anything like that (I generally avoided the Oval Office during the Clinton administration,thank you) but it is serious enough to have me concerned.  I have decided to blame this on two things, in this order 1) Global Warming/Climate Change  and 2) George W. Bush.
After all, If B.O. can do it, why not me?  I would fall out of my chair if just one time, everyone's favorite Kenyan said "You know, I was full of crap, I guess I didn't get the answer from my 6 weeks of government experience."  I have asthma, I'm not holding my breath on this one. The following is the list of things that I will now be blaming on George W. Bush and global warming.  

1)My cat throws up when he eats too quickly. This must be global warming causing him to eat so fast.
2)My neighbors let their dog out at 2:30 AM every morning and don't let him in for 20 minutes, even though he screeches to be let in. (I bet they're alqaeda)
3) There was a brown hairy spider by my steps this morning
4)3 trillion dollar deficit for socializing medicine -oops wrong guy
5)split ends
6) the stray cat that keeps spraying my car tires
7)Those annoying "free credit report" songs that I get stuck in my head for days
8) okra
9)my ex's father wanting to hug me when he knew I hated it
10)my ex
11)the milk I bought Tuesday that was sour when I opened it
12)mannequins
13)excessively biased media outlets with an agenda
14)lime koolaid
15)corn bread made with real corn kernels in it
16)saccharin after taste
17)Iran being a breath away from being nuclear(How's that sitting down with the enemy thing working?)
18)Lawn mowers before 8 am
19)zippers that come apart in the middle
As you can see, this is a work in progress.  As I uncover more things that are the fault of someone who kept us safe from terrorist attack for seven years, I'll let you know, and you can thank me later.                                                                                

If It's Good Enough For Me......

Why is it that the President and his family,every Senator and Congressman-or woman- and their families are  exempt from this socialized high jacking of medicine and insurance? Why not try it out on them first?  It seems to me that if this two thousand page plus omnibus is so dang terrific, these elected officials would be jumping up and down to try it first.  It can't be because they fear rationing, can it? No. they've already told me that won't happen.  It's not because they think they'll get crappy care from an overworked system, is it?  B.O. told me that won't be an issue, either.  So what could it be? One would think that if this thing is so fantastic that it had to be rushed though so quickly no one knows everything that is in there-it would be just the ticket for these guys.  It has to be better than what he would receive back home in Kenya, right?  I'm just not one hundred percent sure that they have my best interests in mind. B.O. has not accomplished one thing yet.  Other than having a "holiday" tree, and keeping his aunt-my favorite illegal alien- in the country, what has he done?  Anyone?  Anyone?  I love the people who tell me to "get over it, we won."  Hooey.  No one has won anything, if anything at all, our children and their children have all lost. Bigtime.  Call your elected officials and demand that they partake in this mess too.  If it's good enough for us after all, shouldn't it be good enough for them, also?  If I figure out a way to stop this socialism from happening, I'll let you know, and you can thank me later.  

When It Hits the Fan

I don't think socializing one fifth of our economy is a good idea. I don't think that much that comes out of B.O.'s mouth is a good idea, but this is particularly bad.  Having experienced socialized medicine first hand by way of military doctors and never seeing the same one twice, I can tell you that it sucks.  No way to sugar coat it, the whole thing is awful.  My oldest son was born six weeks early, he was a small thing (four and a half pounds) and he spent a week in neonatal intensive care when he was born.  It was in a wonderful facility, St. Vincent's in Birmingham, Alabama.  At the time, I was not practicing the Catholic faith, but that didn't stop a wonderful old priest from blessing my son, anyway.  Every bit helps, he told me.  After leaving the area, my son was treated by a series of military doctors when he needed care.  It was never the same doctor twice, and if I didn't grab their sleeve, I would not have gotten ten minutes with them.  When a doctor has to see forty people before he or she can go to lunch, guess how much time and attention you get? My son was five years old before a Doctor was able to diagnose that he couldn't hear from his left ear.  And that's the kind of care you'll get with B.O.   My doctor has already told me that he has grave concerns for the state of medicine right now.  While there are many things that do need fixed, more committees is never the answer.  Was it Ronald Reagan that said "More government is never the answer."? I pray that the whole rotten business is tossed out as unconstitutional.  Not that that will stop the left of center crowd from still trying to shove it through.  What happened to posting the thing online for thirty days?  What happened to calm and careful consideration? Since he hasn't gotten anything accomplished yet, I guess team B.O. needed a win, any win, before the midterm elections.  Have faith.  The debacle that was Jimmy Carter gave us Ronald Reagan.  Who knows what great conservative is waiting to fix this mess.  If I spot them first, I'll let you know, and you can thank me later.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

I woke up this morning and the air was a little fresher, the sun was a little brighter, and here in this frozen wasteland of the midwest, the temperature edged up to almost freezing.  Why you ask?  I'll tell you.  The Senate seat that a Kennedy has held for over half a century was turned over to a Republican who took away the filibuster proof majority that B O's henchmen needed to shove socialism down our throats.  All is Right in the World. Of course I exagerate.  There is still a lot to be done, but the state that B O carried by twenty four percent went down to a Republican, even after four visits from our first foreign born president in over two hundred years.  Did the new senator promise the good folks of Massachusets anything and everything?  Why, no, he didn't.  He promised to be the forty first vote- the one that can derail socialized medicine and start to focus their attention on the crumbling mass of unemployment we are facing.  Woohoo!  I'm too happy to say much else, I even added this in the middle of my week long sabatical from posting.  God Bless America, it's still ours!!!!

Liberal Media:Bought and Paid For

Anyone remember a lady named Linda Tripp? She was the office worker that had to listen to the sex stories from a morally lapsed young woman who thought it would be cool to have sex with the married President. Ms. Tripp did the smart thing and told this morally challenged coworker to save, save and document. Since folks who crossed this administration had a high rate of "suicide", I believe I would have advised the morally lapsed woman to do the same thing. So why is it that the woman who did nothing wrong is the one that everyone makes fun of? The last time I ever watched anything with John Goodman in it was when he made fun of Ms. Tripp on SNL. It was a tasteless, humorless effort by them and the beginning of when they started to jump the shark. Again. So I am not surprised that BO's numbers are dropping, nor am I surprised that the media is not reporting this fact. They are hanging on like a hair in a biscuit with their guy;nothing will change their minds. Where has BO been on the last two emergency situations? Five points to the first one that said vacation. Does that mean that Biden is in charge, then? God help us all. I especially enjoy watching the women of the mainstream media. For a group that supposedly are all in it together, they had no problem turning on Govenor Palin, did they? In fact, they almost seem at a loss when there isn't a way to blame Ms. Palin for something.  I'm certain they would love to find a way to denigrate her daughter for being pregnant and unmarried, but then they would have even more trouble explaining their hypocrisy on the issue.  For example, why was the Clinton's daughter exempt from media attention, but President Bush's daughters were tabloid fodder from the moment they turned eighteen?  It cannot be that Ms. Clinton is not as photogenic as the Bush' daughters-liberals have embraced ugly women for as long as I can remember.  Does anyone remember the Johnson's?  Now they had faces for radio.  ACORN helped to pull off one of the largest moments in voter fraud and election theft since the dead folks of Chicago turned out in droves for JFK.  The media didn't care then, and they don't care now.  Watch the mainstream news with a jaundiced eye, you'll thank me later.

The Other Thursday Post

I don't know what happened to the post for Wednesday, it got lumped in with Thursday. Consider this a twofer, then. I am ready for spring. I know I have said that since the first frost, but I mean it now, I really do. I am ready for some global warming. The real kind, not that climate change, tax me until I cannot breathe kind that liberals like. I hate snow, again- I have said it before. Why people live where it gets this cold is beyond me. Maybe they just don't realize that scraping your car off every day isn't something that people like to do. I'm not sure, but I would give anything if global warming were real right now and I could look forward to some melting this week. Instead, I am sure that I will be standing in the middle of a field, like I did this week, freezing my feet off. Global warming? Hooey! But on to other matters: I got an email from a young man that works at the world's biggest retailer. He was told to clock out because he was over his scheduled hours, and the world's biggest company cannot afford to pay over time. He complied and clocked out, then was told to clock back in and just take a longer lunch hour tomorrow, they were getting hit hard up front. How is that legal? Even if it is legal, how is it fair for this company to expect their employees to be loyal to the company, when the company in question goes out of its way to screw its employees every chance that it can? Instead of hearing to find out if an athelete is using steroids, how about if congress got its collective thumb out of its collective butt and started looking into this? Or, just for fun, maybe it coud take a gander at the rising gasoline prices? I realize that the average elected official in Washington DC is much too busy trying to socialize twenty percent of our economy, but it would be great if they could do some of our business, also. Call and ask them, what it is that they're doing at the expense of what they're supposed to be doing. You'll thank me later.

Enough Already

If I have to listen to one more liberal spew their propoganda about George W. Bush, I will lose it. Granted, he wasn't the best president that we ever had, but he was by far not the worst that we ever had, either. I would give that distinction to either Mr. Carter, or to Slickwillie, they seem to be running neck and neck. One made us the laughingstock of the world, the other, well, sold our nuclear secrets to China, cooked the books on the economy and made us the laughing stock of the world. You pick. I had to listen to something while I was in my car this morning, and the winner was: talk radio. Normally I enjoy it, you get all sorts of opinions and at the very worst, you end up feeling better about yourself. Today, I just listened to one moron liberal (redundant, I know) after another spouting that every problem that we face from illiteracy to the common cold is the fault of the last natural born President of the United States. B.O. has been in office long enough to begin reaping what he has sown, hasn't he? How long of a honeymoon is he going to get with the liberal media, any way? I promise you, if W had let a suspected terrorist onto a plane that he almost blew up, the media would be on him faster than you can say voter registration fraud. Where is the outcry? Where is the cry for reviews, explanations, and someone's head on a platter? It must be on vacation with BO, also, because it sure isn't any where that I have looked. When is the current administration going to "man up" and take responsibility for anything? Register to vote NOW, so we can take back our country, maybe even stop our multi-trillion dollar deficit. You'll thank me later.

Step Down Mr. Reid

What do you think would happen if a Republican Senator made a comment that could be interpreted as racist? You are exactly right in saying he would be out on his heiney faster than you can say "Your sister's birth certificate." So why is it that Harry Reid still has a gig? Is it because the media has chosen to ignore the screaming irony of Black Leaders mouthing the talking points and not do their jobs? Maybe if someone manufactures a memo....oh wait, Dan rather tried that one, didn't he? It makes me sick to think that anything can be done by some people if it furthers the leftist agenda. It kind of puts me in mind of back in the day when Slickwillie had been caught(again) with lying (again) and they had finally gotten past all of the liberal roadblocks and began to impeach the sitting President. One feminist after another denounced the intention of ousting this felon, abandoning the ideals they had been screaming about so militantly for years. I was told that sex was sex, Europe laughed at us, and a host of other things that the media ran with. But change a few key players, and their political affiliations (Senator Packwood, anyone?) and every feminist voodoo priestess was out calling for blood and resignations. How is that not prostituting one's values and beliefs? What does that make the feminist who defended him? Does the word rhyme with "political bore"? I think so, too. Consider what the people who want to lead movements have as their real agenda.  Think about it.  You'll thank me later.
