Taking Back Their Country.

Will somebody please tell me what kind of symbolism is being invoked tomorrow when the GOP and it's arrogantly imbecilic cousin the Tea Party reads the Constitution during swearing in ceremonies on Capital Hill?

Is this symbolizing the taking back of their country? Inquiring minds want to know?

I thought they'd all read the document and comitted it to memory before they got to Washington.

Othewise how else would they know that Obama is so wrong in his approach to governing the country, other than looking at him, of course.

If they decide to impeach Obama for not being a citizen...are they going to kick John McCain out of Congress, too? McCain was born in Panama...by the way...

What about the one drop rule...is it being written into the Constitution and made to apply to men, since that is the only way it would apply to Obama?

Just askin'

If the new rulers in Washington are really serious about balancing the budget...

1...Are they willing to give back their own health care...when they repeal mine?

2...Are they willing to cut their own salaries....not just their office budgets....by 50%...to show they mean what they say....After all, Why do congressmen need six figure salaries with government spending so out of whack and 15 million Americans are out of work...Congressmen sit on corporate boards and draw salaries...their wives and mistresses are kept employed by lobbyists seeking their votes...and their kids' education are paid for by these same lobbyists, when the kid can't qualify for a legacy grant, or given a job just to keep his daddy or mommy happy and voting for corporate welfare. Will these legacy brats be prevented from using affirmative action grants that were created to help the poor...the name Quayle comes to mind in this context...

If government workers can be laid off or have their salaries frozen to cut the deficit...why not Congressmen and judges? Presidents should be excluded from this salary cut because his is a 24/7 job, unlike Congress. Proof of this is in the incoming speaker's reported office hours and location after 5pm daily.

3....What about the Defense budget....will it be cut and the money redirected into energy programs designed to benefit all instead of just those wealthy enough to invest? When is Congress going to go after Defense contractors and their supporters who have been stealing from the government for years...the names Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Haliburton and Blackwater come to mind..Are these the upcoming investigations that they are promising?

4....How about ending the wars....is that gonna happen quicker? Why are we fighting over there anyway? What's so wrong with a people determining its own method of governance? Why do we have to constantly rebuild the rest of the world in our own image?

5....What happens to all outdated weapons programs...talking about the ones the military says it no longer needs? Why are certain members of Congress still demanding they be funded?

6....What about other useless pork barrel projects? Or is it time to admit that these projects are nothing more than welfare for the wealthy to keep them happy and voting republican?

7....Farm subsidies to rich farmers....the name Bachmann comes to mind...Why are we paying farmers not to grow food? Why are we paying farmers to produce corn for ethanol when most American cars can't use it yet?

8...What about job projects to put people back to work? Why not a new conservation corps to work on roads, highways, bridges and trains? When is Congress going to get serious about job loss and outsourcing that has literally killed the manufacturing base? Why not make all America corporations come back to America to employ Americans?

9....Congress votes this week to raise the debt ceiling.....Isn't that counter to what all the teabaggers and GOP have campaigned against before coming to DC? How are they going to justify this increase....same way they justified extending the Bush tax cuts....pretending they are Nike...just do it?

10....Are they going to make us better off come 2012, considering all they're offering is a re run of 2004 and 2008 in both policy and personnel?

Rather than reading the Constitution....the GOP should read the psychological definition of crazy out loud until it sinks in.....”doing the same thing over and over...but expecting different results..” That's crazy...

Let the games begin....

Reality TV narcissism

Can we please be done with people who think making baby litters takes some kind of skill and that raising the rugrats is 24/7 entertaining to the rest of us?

Reality TV in general functions with a “crabs in the barrel mentality” powered by a 3 year old's definition of what makes entertainment....watching people try to destroy or humiliate others is not entertainment..taking somebody down is not fun nor does it feel good....if it did...we all wouldn't bother to hide behind computer screens shunning face to face contact, fearful of rejection..

turn off the TV.....get a real face to face life....think...friends in person...think talking across a dinner table...think wine.....lots and lots of wine.....think sex.. real sex, not simulated or porno playing on a screen.....reach out and touch...contact..

Worthless POS

Will the media please stop reporting every brain disconnected, meaningless utterance that falls from the mouth of Dick Cheney? The toothless old warmonger is a coward......five times deferred when he could serve....hid every time a plane was sighted in the sky over DC when he was VP.....Doesn't give a good damn about America....is a lying hypocritical, dinosaur whose time has past...

I'd quote Wesley Snipes from the movie Demolition Man at this point....”Will somebody please shoot this Mufuca!” except it would probably get me jailed for something,,,the old white guys still have most of the power and and all of the money....or at least enough to make my life miserable, anyway...

First they make him Black...Now they make him gay...a 21^st century lynching of a colored man for whistling at white women



Woods needs to man up and get back on the course and do the only thing he does well, because the masters of the universe do have very short memories...the media relies on computer databanks to remember for them...it will settle down if you beat them on their holy ground at Augusta..again..

Hip Hop Mike

The GOP created Obama mirror image named Michael Steele is pissing off the powers within his own party for talking out of line...Mike won't stay in his place...apparently doesn't remember they chose him to be seen and not heard...

He is supposed to be the walking proof that the GOP is not racist...That they really, really love people of color....they really do...

He keeps talking and they're going to go out and dig up Stepin Fetchit....oh wait...they  already put him on the Supreme Court!...My bad....Shelby Steele is available...no relation to Mike..but that last name might stir up bad memories of Hip Hop..

GOP Talking Points

The talking heads of the GOP keep saying there were no terror attacks during Dubya's tenure in the White House....okay...I bet Dorothy really went to Oz, too...didn't she.... and Middle Earth exists..... William Shatner is really an alien and god actually sprung from the mind of L Ron Hubbard.....

Please!

Saying it over an over makes it urban legend....not fact....except for L. Ron...then it becomes a religion for some...

New boy toys

Let's give a shout out to Susan Sarandon...the 60 plus actress recently dumped her long time toy for a new boy toy.....go girl! Thelma rocks!....at least I think she was Thelma...hated that movie..but loved her in The Hunger with Catherine Deneuve....


And since I strayed into Hollywood....Sharon Stone is quoted as saying Meryl Streep “looks like an unmade bed” and that's why people relate to her...

Well...I like snuggling into unmade beds....better than curling up with an over exercised bag of bones with no padding...c'mon girls....let's don't fight...men are infinitely more funny to talk about...



Go Meryll

A world powered by fear is going to kill us all..

Words of Advice for Prez O

I know you have to deal with all this peripheral BS for the cameras....but we the people could use a little help in your spare time...

Like jobs, for instance...that will secure the election if you can jump start the employment scene by summer..

It would help if you could cancel Don't Ask Don't Tell.....since many of your Arabic speaking translators that you kicked out of the armed forces last year were also gay...It might be good for security if you brought them back and allowed them to live their lives....while doing their job..

I ask you..which is best for all of us....National Security or worrying about who is sexing whom?

Mission Not Accomplished

Thoughts on Obama's escalation of the Afghan war.

The main message from our President last night is that this country is going to be in Afghanistan for a long, long time. Pundits are worried about Obama setting a deadline to begin bringing the troops home. However the key word here is “begin.” The other part of the message was the “begin” will start if and when the natives can handle the situation on their own.

This is the second troop escalation that Obama has authorized. Shortly after taking office he sent in the troops. This second surge will bring troop count to over 100,000. That's way more than the Bush-Cheney cabal thought we needed to win in the first place. Bush-Cheney was wrong on so many levels that I'm not even going to go there. But by Obama's reasoning last night, we need to escalate in order to draw down.

This Obama reasoning is merely a re-statement of Bushco's “go shopping” rationale to get us out of the deepening recession. Obama is now telling us that we need to make a similar move in order to bring our troops home and to end this thing.

Yet, in order for us to draw down our troops, the Afghan and Pakistani governments have to get themselves together and actually begin to govern and protect their people. This would seem to be an indication that we are not going to prop up any more corrupt leaders who screw over their people while pocketing American money.

Oh, and by the way, this is going to cost us another 30-billion dollars. In other words, we've got to spend some, to get some. All of these echoes of Bushco, make me very uneasy. The speech to sell the principle was much, much better. However the principle being sold was basically SOSDD (same old shit different day) -Bush Doctrine, to put a name on it.

The Bush Doctrine basically says we, as a country have a right to start wars, if we think another country is going to do something to us-not after they make moves, but after they think about it and before they follow through with any plan to harm us. We have the right to “preempt their plans and hit them first.

Here in the ghetto, that's called a sucker punch. We no longer counter punch, you know, never hit someone unless they hit you first. That's the way we're all taught, usually. The Bush Doctrine changed the rules and Obama seems content to go along with the status quo. Obama shows no inclination to dismantle the imperial presidency created by Bush. He seems comfortable allowing the freedom-stealing Patriot Act to stand. He hasn't even mentioned getting rid of the Military Commissions Law of 2006, which makes it easier to use American troops on American soil against American citizens.

Now the Nobel peace laureate is escalating a war albeit with the best of intentions, he says.

The plan says he is sending in the Marines first. Well, I hope this is an indication that he is really letting the dogs out to do what they do, what they train for-take out the enemy, Al Quaeda and the Taliban. If there are less than 100 Al Quaeda still there, then a Marine Battalion or two should be able to kill a 100 or so enemy.

I'm not happy about this either because my nephew and the nephew of a close friend are in the Second Battalion Marines at Camp La Jeune. They've already been to Iraq a few times. My nephew and my friend's nephew, did not come home whole like they went. But as long as they can walk, they will be sent back, and I don't like that, personally. They volunteered, so they do what they do. That doesn't mean I have to like it.

I wanted Obama to plot a new course last night. I wanted him to change directions. He had the chance to do that, but he chose to claim the war and attempt to do something. I can't say something different, because it's not. Not really.

We're still living Bushco policies and I know that somewhere in Texas, Dubya is laughing his ass off.
