Bits, Pieces and Other Folks Snatches

RE: dodging bullits in Tuzla 

We know dodging bullits is a Clinton MO, but Hillary dodging flower petals thrown from a little girl doesn’t count.  She covers her ass with this: “I say a lot of things — millions of words a day — so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement,”.  That in itself is a misstatement.  Millions of words, really!   Oh Lordy, like thousands of others before her, Hillary is becoming a victim of her own mouth.   She’s starting to sound like Bill.  You remember this doozie: “It depends on what your definition of ”is” is?  WTF, I’m still trying to figure that one out. 

And this grand idea of her  foreign policy experience is unwraveling.  I went to Cancun so I feel I’m as experienced in foreign policy circles as she is

If you don’t have a DVR then quit reading. Don’t watch the show live, record the show or wait about 45 minutes after it starts then begin watching it from the beginning. If you want to watch something more interesting, turn over to public television and watch one of those boring British Comedies chock full of dry humor we Americans don’t understand or think funny. I’ve found the best way to watch American Idol is to fast forward through the little film clips about each contestant, eg: “most embarrassing moment”, “my dad died”, “I’m a gay stripper”. Then listen to the first 20 seconds of each song. If it sounds like a train-wreck is a comin’, listen to the whole song, otherwise, fast forward to the judges comments. Listen to Randy Jackson say Dude and Yo Dawg and Paula say “Gribblesish shazashish ghurruhumpaish ghjyyurish…” and Simon do his usual I hate it or love it depending on which one he wants to win. You can usually learn all you need to know in about 32 seconds on each constant. On Voting, check out www.votefortheworst.com then get on board the night the show airs and dial away during the correct time for voting. Here it’s Monday and Tuesday night from 8pm till a little later.

The other benefit to recording is that as each contestant comes to the mike, you can read the already posted comments on VFTW and pick up good insight on the performance as it’s played out. For example, I wouldn’t have noticed that the wheezy kid licked his lips a hundred times during his performance without the benefit of VFTW.

In theory, you can get all the useful Idol information in about 15 minutes for a 1 hour show after sorting through the shit and commercials.

Now for Danny Noriega. I hated this pussy from the get-go but keeping in line with the VFTW folks, was compelled to keep him on because he was entertaining in an annoying flamboyantly gay way and probably pissed off a lot of Idoltards the longer he stayed. Due to a snowstorm and an accumulation of snow on the dish I forgot to knock off, I didn’t get to see his crying fit and Swan Song which I was hoping to see. Maybe I can catch it on-line. I also missed 50 minutes of LOST before I realized I got distracted with a snowball fight with my kids when I went to clear the snow. The VFTW pick is currently Amanda Overmyer. This woman sounds like Janis Joplin who herself could have made it as a musician only when all the hippies of the 60’s were fucked up on psychedelic drugs (also Bob Dylan). Her hair looks like bride of frankenstein and she comes across as a little bull-dykeish. Her range is limited and she has no moves. Vote for Amanda! The only problem is that Simon likes her which conflicts with VTFW.

Anyway, I hope this makes your American Idol viewing more pleasurable.

A reminder: http://yofrient.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/crying-game-works/

The angry lesbians have been polled and advisers reprogrammed Hillary accordingly by use of an ”angry button” concealed in her back to regain a little popularity.  The last major reprogramming was in New Hampshire when it was seen that “faux tears” should put Hillary back in the race.  It worked then and the scientists in her campaign HQ have taken appropriate action.

Its wonderful to see that even those in the Democratic party are beginning to acknowledge Hillary’s creative use of fake emotional outbursts in attempting to reinvigorate her miserably failing attempt at running from president of this great country.  The lead sentence for CNN: “A visibly angry Sen. Hillary Clinton lashed out Saturday at Sen. Barack Obama over campaign literature that she said he knows is “blatantly false,” while Obama called her outburst “tactical.”   Tactical is the nice gentlemanly way of putting a title on Hillary’s strategy.   And get a load of this,  the literature she is all pissed off about has been sitting in the reading rack near the Clinton Campaign toilet for a week:   ”There’s nothing in that mailing that is inaccurate,” he (Obama) said, adding that he was puzzled by the sudden scrutiny since the mailers had been around for days, if not weeks.  You see how it works?  There’s no telling what goodies they’ve been stockpiling for the general election next fall.  My guess is that the New York Times is assisting and will be on hand then for material for whoever makes it.

It’s yet to be seen if this tactic will once again boost Hillary’s popularity with enough angry Lesbians in Texas and Ohio to push her back into a lead position.  The only tactic left is for her to declare that she is indeed an angry lesbian, however, the risk of doing so would put her out of the good graces of the majority of straight voters who are still a majority (for now).  Hillary is running out of states and emotions and it looks as if America is serious about change.

China is pissed because we sent up a surface to air missile to blow up a boondoggle space heap full of poisonous gas. They say it’s threatening result could lead to tension. They forget to mention they did the same thing already and even sent their missile to hit something in a higher orbit only to leave hundreds of pieces of junk floating in orbit. This field of debris prevents other spacecraft (including spy satellites) from orbiting in that region. Hmmmm. Sounds like great cover.

McCain screwing around? Well the Times of New York says so right after endorsing him last month. I guess it’s better press to build up a candidate real good so the tearing down is all that much better than the build up, like a baby who just knocked down a stack of blocks.  It’s OK though, Bill did it and the times was beside themselves then to defend his cigar poking actions in the Lincoln Room.

Ding Dong The Witch is, well, dying a slow humiliating death. Oh Goodie! Hillary has nothing left on Obama except to accuse him of plagiarism and making cracks about his speeches. She also has to make a point to jab at the fact that he didn’t want to participate in those debates that really didn’t matter. They aren’t going to say anything different than the last million debates we’ve already seen and those just turned into something resembling two kids fighting on a playground. The Angry Lesbians have yet jumped the SS Hillary but who the hell cares what they think?

American Idol is terrible even though it has been billed as the best 24 contestants ever. If that’s the best, this show is demonstrating to the world that our talent pool must really be sucky. Paula Abdul is really incoherent and I’m thinking this lady is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s or a tumor or something is pushing on the part of her brain that gives her the ability to form words and sentences.

Lost is AWESOME and also a nod of Approval to Ely Stone. Time Travel is starting to emerge as the gist of Lost. I’ve been a big fan of the Time Travel theme in TV since the 1960’s Star Trek episodes highlighted it several times. “The City on the Edge of Forever” was one of the best TV episodes of any kind- ever. I was also a big fan of Journeyman which I hope didn’t die a quick death because of the strike.

GM’s trying to buy out their entire Unionized workforce. Once again, Unions bring another American giant to their knees. No not because workers rights have been violated. Instead, the unions and their workers are greedy and the reason NAFTA (a really bad idea) had to to be created to begin with. We can’t afford them. Hate them as you may, Wal Mart employs a largely non-union workforce and this company thrives even in the shittiest of economy’s. Bitch if you will that they are China’s 3rd largest trading partner being a much larger partner than most of the countries of the world. But Wal Mart buys cheap goods produced in slave labor factories in China where there are no unions. We can actually afford a few things in Wal Mart. If the Unions want to help America (which I don’t think they do), they ought to set up shop in Beijing to organize all those poor sweatshop workers and demand better conditions. Then, after 80-100 years of jacking up wages for unrealistic reasons, the cost to produce good in China will skyrocket and we can start buying goods from all our non unionized manufacturing plants here in the US.

Castro Resigns and Raul takes over. The embargo on this country has NEVER made sense and if Raul is indeed “Fidel Light”, it will make even less sense. The embargo’s ONLY purpose has been a political measure by presidential candidates to placate all the Cubans who now claim Miami as their own just so they can get their votes. If you think all those people are going to swarm back to Cuba once the Castro’s are gone and “Democracy” seeds are planted, “Your Retarded”.

Think God for Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, James Dobson and the rest of the far right (and left).  They’ve made it very clear that John McCain is my Republican hope.   Up to this point I’ve been weary of McCain but no more!

Refering to John McCains success in the primaries: “We are trying to stop the wanton destruction of the party, the wanton dilution of the party,” said Limbaugh, whose daily show is syndicated on radio stations across the country.  When I saw this, my first thought was to fill in the word “Party” with the the word “Race” and you get an idea of the mindset of these people. Not that they’re racists but they have the same limited reasoning and ideals of what is best for this country.  Why would a prescription drug abuser like Rush Limbaugh criticize McCain for accumulating so many votes cast “By the people”.  The rest of the country who aren’t crackpots believe we need to find some middle ground and maybe McCain represents the Republicans and Obama represents the Democrats.  The screaming about these good candidates shows that they’re being Left Behind by the rest of the country.

As for Bob Dole and his letter suggesting to Rush Limbaugh that McCain has been a good and honorable Republican, I now like Bob Dole a lot better.  Right Wing bitch Laura Ingraham told listeners on her syndicated show that they should take Dole’s opinion of McCain with a grain of salt.  Dole is a “four time loser” and neither McCain nor Dole are true conservatives”, said Ingraham, who is also a FOX News contributor. “So when Bob Dole comes out and tells talk radio through a letter to Rush, that you should just back off . . . I think of 1996 and that horrific campaign run by Dole and his advisers,” said Ingraham, who is backing Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination.  PAY ATTENTION HERE: “Fox news Contributor” and “Romney Supporter”.  Need I say more. 

These AM talk radio assholes, along with Hillary and the ones on the left are the reason more and more people are moving to the center.  They’re dying a slow death and are in a quandary because there’s not one viable candidate that exactly matches their extreme views.  Now is the time for a certified Independent to step forward or how about an Obama - McCain ticket for 2008!

My guess is that Toni Morrison will think carefully before spouting off garbage like “Bill Clinton is our 1st black president”. It may have been funny and catchy at the time and suited her purposes as well as Bill’s, but those words now show it as a twisted insult to the black community. It sounded like she thought there was no chance there ever being a qualified black candidate in her lifetime to be president so she declared Bill HER first black president.

What the hell is happening with the democrats!? The rats are bailing on the Clinton’s and Ted Kennedy is the first to hit the water (again). Now author Toni Morrison has endorsed Obama. This goes to show the confusing prediciment black voters are experiencing with this years candidates. After South Carolina, my guess is that they are making up their mind and their mind is clear enough to notice that Billary Clinton’s interest in the black voters was for just that, votes. It seems that black’s have never voted a principal other than they are supposed to vote democrat despite the fact that democrats are no more interested in the welfare and well being of our black citizens than the Republicans.

I believe Obama is the best candidate floating to the surface this election year. I don’t care that he’s black. He’s smart, speaks to me at a level I understand, shows signs of hope, and does not appear to be an “Insider”. Insiders have proven they are no better running our country than anyone portrayed in the show “Dirty Jobs”. George Bush wasn’t an “Insider” after being elected the first time. However, after that second win, he was an Insider with 4 years of experience at the highest level and he’s proven he can’t govern either way. As much as I like John McCain, I’m afraid he’s too inside as well and can’t get past the idea that there is something about him that makes me a little nervous.  I am one independent that believes Obama is the candidate for the job. I’m sure Hillary thinks she’s qualified because she’s already had 8 years in the white house. But, as Dick Morris said “it is irrelevant that she was in the White House for eight years. So was the pastry chef”.

http://thehill.com/dick-morris/why-the-democrats-are-backing-hillary-2007-10-10.html As I’ve said before, it’s unlikely the dems will allow Obama to be president. The machine will unfortunately chew him up and spit him out. Hillary represents all the interests of the Left and they know it. The link referenced above sums it up quite nicely. There is some hope however with the endorsement of the drunk Kennedy. He was a Machine Democrat and he managed to sober up enough to reason out his endorsement.

For a bunch of folks propped up by the Arab world as a cause to rally around, there’s not much more use for the Palestinians outside their fences. Egypt is right now spraying them with water cannons to keep them out of their country. You would think that the Arabs would be more open to receiving their repressed Arab brothers and Sisters from Gaza.

Rebates from the government are on their way. We’re saving ours so we won’t be helping invigorate the economy.

A union worker at a Ford plant makes $68,000 a year popping hub caps on new cars floating down an assembly line. Just recently, Ford proposed a buyout for longtime union employees in hopes of replacing that workforce with cheaper non-union workers. Those who refuse to recognize that Union wages have driven up the cost of everything MADE IN AMERICA are in denial or in a union. These people seem to think that the work they do is worth more than what I make after 15 years at the same place, what they forget is that a robot (or an illegal immigrant) has the ability to do their work a lot better and for a lot less.

Japanese whalers have been pestered by those whale hugging Greenpeace types. This time, I say give em hell Greenpeacers. Or in this case the Sea Shepherds of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The Japs have seem to found a nice little loophole that allows them to slaughter thousands of whales for “scientific purposes”. The only science on the whales performed is with soy sauce and white wine.

American Idol is a fraud and if you watch this show with the idea that it is a sincere effort to find America’s undiscovered talent, “your retarded”. Check out one of the best sites on the Internet www.votefortheworst.com for a good time. The folks at VFTW have been pissing on AI’s good times for a few years now and every year they only get better and better. The funniest thing about the site is the hate mail from the AI ‘tards that defend this scam.

Tom Cruise and scientology ought to have a sit down with Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and compare notes on which of their religions is more screwy. Do you think Cruise will ever look back on his days as a scientologist and wonder what the hell he was thinking? No wonder he can’t keep a wife. He starts babbling that shit and they run like hell. Unless Katie is on board the scientology UFO, we can expect to see her running soon as well. The lines for recruits to a new religion based on The Matrix will be forming soon.

Oh dear God, the perfect storm of a worst case scenario is forming in American politics with what looks like a Hillary vs Romney showdown in November. Now I’m nowhere near wanting to find a nice little shack in Saskatchewan but that Icy Hell will be better than the choice we have to make in December.

I watched CNN’s unprecedented coverage of ABC’s debate. No surprises, I didn’t miss anything the first time except:

• Sleepy Edwards showed some balls and raised his voice a little, however this guy is shades of Jimmy Carter and no, not because of the annoying accent.
• I loved the Romney attacks from all the Republicans. They all got in appropriate shots and Huckabee was even praised by George Stephanopoulos for making an appropriate clean jab. Ron Paul was notably absent from the Romney attacks but that was about par because he seemed absent from the whole proceedings.
• The most telling thing about all 13 hours of that debate was the final “feel good-leave the debate on a humor moment” question. ABC’s Charles Gibson asked the candidates if there was one thing they said they could take back what would it be? Right before Hillary answered, I paused the DVR, put in a CD of dance music and began playing both. With one song and danced, she won a whole season of Dancing With The Stars with her answer. Of course she didn’t answer the question, she apparently has nothing to regret except that there is an opposition right wing conspiracy. I have to give credit to Richardson and Sleepy, they in the spirit of the question gave answers that did add a little closing fun. Disappointingly, Barack parroted Hillary and is possibly being set up to take next seasons “Dance With the Stars”.

After a few more appropriate shots in Romney’s direction, hopefully we’ll begin to see the smoke pouring from the engine and the wings beginning to dip slightly in an inevitable death spiral into the ground. I hope he packed his ‘chute.

So I didn’t.  I watched my stored up selection of DVR’ed episodes of the Rockford Files.  They’re not going to answer a question any differently that hasn’t already been asked.  They can throw in a few more adjectives and maybe Mitt won’t have to pause for 8 seconds before answering  since he has his lines down by now.  However, he may take a new stand on the issues that matter we hadn’t heard before.  If it matters the next debate worth watching will be the one among the nominees for both (or all) parties.  Anything else is just the same old same old.

BY THE WAY:  Bill Bradley (Republican) endorses Obama as the candidate that truly appeals to all ancd can unite our country.   I think we’re on to something here.

We knew that anyway but as it was put last night “70% of the people voted against Hillary”. Sleepy McEdwardcocktosen even came in 2nd and Mr. Obama won the whole thing. And I mean the whole thing (Dems and Reps). Not to sound too mushy, but his speech was one of the best and most inspiring I’ve heard. It took him a while to come out but I figure he was watching Hillary’s on TV and took her best line or 2 and incorporated them into his speech. There were no tele-prompters and I don’t think his speech writers had enough time to hammer out something as good as that and he didn’t have enough time to memorize anything. I really think that came from the heart. Mike Huckabee did a good job too. Not just with kicking Mitts ass but his speech was decent as well. He better enjoy last nights limelight because I’m guessing it’s ass-kickings from here on out. I just hope John McCain can keep distracting Romney by leading in the polls causing Romney to stir up a bunch of negative ads and continue to fail at addressing real issues.

I hope and pray the Democrats and the voters give Obama a chance and don’t fall for Hillary’s bull shit. The 2nd place Democrat will be circling the bowl soon so he’s not really an issue. Everyone talks about needing change in the Washington. 4 years of Clintons isn’t it, 4 years of Lilly-white Republican party-liner phony Romney isn’t it and unfortunately I don’t think John McCain is it either. Huckabee is different but he’s up against his own party and will never make it past February 5th.

If the election were today, Obama has my support. However, it’s not today and in the spirit of American Idol, we will probably be voting off a lot of perfectly good political talent between now and November. Besides, Obama has lots of time to screw up by allowing too much influence from Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. We’ll have to see. Biden, Dodd, Kuchinch, who have no talent at all are heading home. Soon Richardson (who?) Rudy and Paul will be gone, then Huckabee and hopefully Romney and Clinton leaving Obama, McCain or Thompson. Fred Thompson is my Sanjaia mostly because his trophy wife will inspire a lot of votes, but he won’t make it to the final Dance off Sing off.

Another Obama line I look forward to hearing at the UN “Give it up for…”

Frederick Herman Jones discovered as Romney son Josh

I typically don’t like to do a lot of name calling and taking cheap shots. Poor Mrs. Huckabee is taking a beating in the “Hottest First Lady” election. But this one I couldn’t leave alone. Yeah it’s cheap and immature but there’s something about Josh.

Watching Larry King is difficult enough but when his grumbling is interspersed with an interview of Mitt Romney’s 6th or 7th son Josh, it’s all I can do not to choke on my own vomit. Because, as Iowa voters have clearly shown no one cares about Romney, CNN chose not to show his concession speech to Huckabee. I figure Larry thought Mitt wouldn’t be interesting enough for his own show either so he invited son Josh to speak on behalf of his father. I realize that we have now discovered what happened to the original Fred from the Scooby Doo cartoons. Mitt and his wife must have adopted Fred after he lost his job with Mystery Inc back in the 70’s or 80’s and renamed him Josh. Why he was not wearing his trademark Ascot during the King interview is unknown to me. He also looks like that preppy prick from Animal House, Doug Neidermeyer which would make a lot of sense.

By the buy, if the Romney family doesn’t perfectly exemplify Lilly white, stuck up, upper class, republican loyalists, I’m not sure what does. Josh’s used motor home cost more than my home. He’s a Harvard business school graduate and a real estate developer. Three other Romney’s , Josh, Tagg and Matt, also graduated from Harvard Business School; one, Ben, is in medical school; and the youngest, 25-year-old Craig, is a music producer in New York City. Where do I see representation from this bunch. If there’s no illegals to do their yard work, they hire people like me. That march with blacks that the Romney’s mistakenly thought his dad was in was instead his dad walking past the help to get to his car.
