Friday Rap

South Carolina Democrats voted 5-1 last night to keep Greene in place as their candidate for Senator against Jim DeMint.

The GOP may have covertly funded this guy, however the Democrats are solely responsible for the continuation of the farce...

Oil Spill Reality

Joe Barton merely put voice to what we all know....Congress is sorry it is being forced to spank one of its favorite cash cows...Big Oil.....The spill happened for the same reason the economy has gone to hell in a hand basket.....

No regulation to speak of.....allowing corporation lobbyists to write the laws that govern them...Congressmen sitting back...taking the kick backs and allowing it to happen...screw the American people...

The apology was totally disingenuous.....and as far as Hayward is concerned....He showed what he is...an out of touch CEO who had no clue...

For those of you who don't know the meaning of the word “OBFUSCATING”....it means “lying sack of shit”

Agony and Ecstasy

Lakers won....big whup...don't like the Celtics either....

I do like Soccer and am loving the World Cup action....lots of upsets....France and Spain...Brazil won but hasn't really awakened yet..

And about those Vuvuzuelas....asking that they be banned is like you walking into my house and telling me you don't like my dogs.....simple answer......It's my house.....don't let the door hit you in the ass!

Women's World Cup happens in July...America is defending champion and expected to repeat...

Tiger is playing the US Open.....walking the course singing Michael Jackson's “billy jean”....DNA says the kid is not his...but then girlfriend knew that when she announced to the world...DNA tests were performed in 2002.....

Tiger, meanwhile, looking very out of practice....

Wimbledon coming up next week....Williams sisters ranked 1 and 2 in the world..won't meet til finals if they make it through the draw..

Serena has Maria Sharapova and Sam Stosur in her half...while Venus has to contend with both Belgians...Clijsters and Henin in her half...

Serena will play 148th-ranked Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal in the opening round, while Venus opens against Paraguay's Rossana De Los Rios.

When is it going to dawn on the world just how special the Williams sisters are....

Weekend music....The Manhattan Transfer....Most people know this song from Anita Baker, except Anita's version was a cover of the original....Love Anita...but Janis Segal of MT sings it much better..

Serena 's PMS Moment

Make no mistake about it Kim Clijsters deserves to play for the US Open title today. She won it fair and square. I said earlier this week that she would be a headache for Serena, because Clijsters is a very good player from the old school. She doesn't wilt at the sight of her opponent across the net. She plays her game, which has always been one of the best return games in the business.

Most counter punchers, which Clijsters is....don't have anything to their game except the counter punch..in other words the passing shot or the very sharp angle return...Clijsters has that and strength and a serve...both first and second...and she is smart...very smart......and cool under pressure...

When you play Kim Clijsters, you bring your A game or you go home. It's that simple. Serena did not bring her A game last night. Her serve sucked. She couldn't get the first one in and her second simply disappeared. Add to those woes a backhand that became uncontrollable and you have a problem. It's happened before to Serena. But usually she is composed enough to fight through the problems and get back enough of her game to win. Not last night.

Every great player always has that match during a two week tournament where things don't go right. Hopefully they have it early in the tournament...get it out of their system...so that late in the tournament...when they meet the better players...they are battle tested and ready....Serena was not ready...she had not been tested at all in these past couple of weeks..

Further....she seems to be believing the hype...and when you're reading and believing your press clippings more than your fans...you are setting yourself for a big fall...

She totally self destructed starting with when she broke her racket in the first set, which was also a point penalty deduction. The foot fault at championship point was her second penalty of the night.

And yes, she did cuss out the linesman...going in not once...but twice....you could hear every word on the live feed....it was only bleeped in the replay....

I questioned the foot fault...I don't even see it on the replay....However...there was no excuse for Serena's behavior...

It was a total PMS moment.... completely unexplainable...

She lost it....lost it at the wrong time...Unfortunate...but stuff happens...

9/11

8th anniversary of the attack on America. There is still a hole in the ground where the Trade Towers stood. Bush is out of office, but the war in Afghanistan is bloodier than before, even as Iraq is winding down, thanks to Obama.

Waldo, Osama and Carmen

Waldo, Osama Bin Laden and Carmen Sandiego are the only three people in the world that American spy satellites can't seem to locate. Despite a 25-million dollar bounty on his head and the fact that he has failing kidneys and is 6 feet 4 inches tall, They can't find him...

Think about it....a six foot four Arab pulling a dialysis machine through mountains...

Do we really want to find this guy? After all...America armed the Taliban in the first place...Why can't we end this American created inter squad scrimmage and come home, now?

Michael

MJ may have been the king of pop when alive, but his family is going to make him the hardest working man in show business, since he passed. Joe's got all kinds of plans for his late, estranged son...Jermaine is in the corner scheming like always, while the other brothers run around looking lost..

The crazy one, LaToya is screaming murder and doing all the interviews...so you know there is nothing of substance being said....The MSM talks to her because they want controversy and headlines..nothing more...that's not news...

Katherine and Janet seem to be only voices of sanity, trying to keep the others from spinning totally out of control.....and those poor kids are trapped in the middle.....lost in Jackson Wonderworld..

And I don't care who gave him the injection.....Michael was an addict....He did what addicts do..had the money to get it done....and paid the consequences....

He killed himself...

Caster Semenya

May be an intersexual...or sources allegedly close to the testing have told a couple of foreign newspapers..Today, I am questioning those reports as accurate....primarily because...of the terms that the sources are using...Hermaphrodite is not the au currant term these days....It's Intersexed..

In the meantime these “sources” say she has organs for both men and women. The sports governing group says since she didn't cheat, she may get to keep her medals, but they still have studying to do and that will take a few more weeks...

The downside is that she may never be allowed to compete again, because she is too strong to go against women, yet not man enough to go against men...

There is an upside to all of this controversy....the girl is happy with who she is...the world seems to be happy that she is happy...and that is a good thing....no one wants her stripped of her medals or hurt anymore by this mess...

Joe Wilson

It gets better about Congressman Joe “that's a lie” Wilson....seems he is back tracking his apology saying the GOP leadership told him to say sorry....

Kind of like the kid who gets the crap beat out of him then tries to spin it by saying...”did you see me punch his fist with my face?.....I kicked his ass!”

Yeah, right..

This little piss-ant apparently has a long history of letting his mouth get his behind in trouble...seems way back when, when the world got wind of racist Strom Thurmond's black daughter...Wilson attacked the daughter....Essie Washington....as disrespecting a fine upstanding and respectable Congressman that was the segregationist Thurmond.....All Essie said to disrespect the man was....”yes, he is my father.”

Thurmond supported Essie his entire life....just kept her hidden....to keep his buddies from stripping him of his KKK membership...

Wilson, like many of his modern day fellow republicans has a problem with black-white love or sex...especially when it begets babies who may someday grow up to be president...

Mad Dogs and Republicans Come Out in the Noon Day Sun

This week shows that the GOP has jumped off into the deep end is unsteadily stroking into deeper and deeper water. They've reached the point of no return and don't seem to realize it..

They've marginalized the sane members and embraced the lunatics...

Can total extinction be far behind?
