BLOGGING WILL BE DISCONTINUED UNTIL 8/1/09 EXCEPT FOR HOT NEWS!

I will be having a roto rooter procedure on the blocked carotid artery in my neck in another couple of weeks and I need to concentrate on preparing for that. Several friends who have had the procedure assure me that it is a "piece of cake" and that you get "good drugs" whilst having the procedure. I want to come home to a clean and well organized house afterwards and not have to worry about things at all. So I'll be discontinuing my blog activities (unless of course we find proof that Obama isn't a U.S. citizen and we have the spectacle of him being frog-marched in handcuffs out of the White House) until after the procedure so I can concentrate on my LIFE.

THIS IS A SHOCKER!

In a rare and unexpected show of common sense, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has put the kibbosh on a special resolution honoring the late Michael Jackson!

See, even a moronic twit can make sense some of the time!

NO YOU DIDN'T!?

This wildly inappropriate tee shirt was sported by President Obama's daughter Malia while in Rome. Where were her parents? Where were the protocol people?

Clothing of this type (we won't even mention the "from the hood" clothing of her far-too-old male companion) is completely wrong for the daughter of a U.S. President in public. She is, whether she likes it or not, representing us - and we, as a nation, don't like to be dissed! One wonders if Michelle (who has no taste whatsoever) will be foolish enough to wear her trademark sleeveless garb when they have their audience with the Pope, or whether the girls will be in shorts. The Pope's diplomatic aides will make it quite clear to the Obamas that such garb is not permitted!

IS THIS THE END OF THE INSANITY?

Finally, finally, finally the memorial service for Michael Jackson is underway. Once the various networks have beaten the happenings at the Staples Center to death with their over-the-top coverage which is excessive and offensive - can we all move on and forget about this tormented and not terribly admirable man?

While the various alphabets and, shamefully Fox News, have been ad nauseum saying farewell to Mr. Jackson, young men of courage and character have been dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Iranian mullahs are still killing their own people. The U.S. Congress has been frittering away our nation's future with hastily passed and ill-considered (and not even read) spending bills. There are more important things going on in this world than the probably self-induced death of a probable sexual predator! Will these morons knock it the hell off? Not until they have wrung the last drop of advertising dollars from a credulous public! Sheesh!

WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF SARAH PALIN!

At least I hope we haven't. One thing she said in an exclusive interview with the local (Anchorage) Fox News reporter who had the "experience" of going out on a fishing trawler with her is that most politicians have the luxury of facing their critics or the news media and saying "Leave my kids alone!" and she hasn't had that advantage.

I would say that she has taken what can only be described as felony-level battering from the national press corps and the leftwing blogsphere. And I do not want to hear from anyone the moral equivalency bullshit about what was said about Bill Clinton who admitted he was porking a chunky little intern nearly as young as his own daughter in the Oval office whilst on the phone with foreign leaders. It's a well known fact that blood flow can serve only one head at a time! Bill Clinton was blatantly lying to the American people and, worst of all, he was lying to a Grand Jury, which is called perjury and that is a FELONY in every state in the union.

Sarah Palin is an extraordinary woman. Liberals and especially the feminist nutbags hate her guts because she is beautiful, accomplished and tough as they come. If she lets some of the irrational hatemongering to die down a bit and removes herself from the constraints of public office, those who have been piling on the insults and calumny may find that they have really picked on the wrong woman. She served notice through her attorneys that anyone who prints false accusations (such as the one currently bouncing around in the leftwing blogs that she is soon to be indicted by a Federal Grand Jury - a charge that the FBI itself has labeled as absolutely without merit) will find themselves in a courtroom being sued for big bucks. You go Sarah! Sue the bastards! Removing their ill gotten gains from their pockets is the best way to shut them the hell up!

SARAH PALIN IN 2012!

ENOUGH ALREADY!

The alphabet and cable networks are falling all over themselves with endless blathering about the life, death and significance of Michael Jackson. Here's the honest poop - he wasn't THAT great!

His so-called brilliance at dancing was repetitive and derivative. Much of what he did he copied from others - like Jackie Wilson and James Brown. His singing voice was only mediocre. And his personal life was - to put it mildly - an indefensible nightmare!

The irony of all of this is that his nearly-bankrupt estate will now, like that of Elvis before him, triple in value and thus be worth something to his three children - and does anyone believe that any of Jackson's DNA is present in those three children?

So stop the endless wailing and carrying on. He died from his own self-indulgence, just as Elvis did! Neither deserves to be treated as though they were the "greatest" anything at all. As an all around entertainer, Sammy Davis Jr. beat them both!

UGLY IS AS UGLY DOES!

MICHAEL JACKSON'S DEATH

The man was enormously talented and squandered all of his potential in aberrant and strange behavior. He is now facing the incorruptible judge and his unfortunate children have a slender chance of living a normal life (if they can change the asinine names he foisted upon each of them).

Wall-to-wall coverage by the various news networks pushed the death of Farrah Fawcett off the radar and more importantly, drowned out further news of the horrendous suffering of the Iranian people at the hands of their own government. Important stuff, like the U.S. Congress further destroying the future of this nation with crushing debt was given short shrift, if it was reported at all. Fox News was just as guilty as all other news (?) outlets for their fairly hysterical and fawning coverage of what is likely to turn out to be a drug-related death, just as in the case of Elvis Presley. And is it my imagination or is Shepherd Smith a total lightweight?! These people were idolized and yet their lives and deaths were train wrecks. Some role model!

Where are our values, and where are our priorities? Is it possible that our skewed values are coming back to bite us in the butt?

R.I.P. FARRAH FAWCETT

It's a sobering thing when people younger than you are succumbing to disease and you're still waking around, mainly healthy! Here was a beautiful woman, who seemed to have all the gifts a person seeks in life, including a man who loved her (albeit Ryan O'Neal is a very flawed man), a handsome, if troubled son who adored her, fame, money. I feel about Ms. Fawcett's death much as I felt about my late mother's death - I'm sorry to see her go but I'm glad that her horrendous pain is over.

Now, it is time to thank Ms. Fawcett for the gifts of entertainment she gave to us by remembering her in our prayers, along with her grieving family.

Farewell, beautiful lady. Rest well.

THE THUGS OF IRANIAN STATE SECURITY ARE ON THE MOVE

Secure in the knowledge that there is not a man of honor or morality occupying our White House, the brutal thugs of Iranian state security have been loosed upon the protestors in a raw display of viciousness and violation of their own citizens' civil rights that should make our president (voting "present" as usual) hang his head in shame. It is now being reported that state security is using axes on the protestors, throwing them off bridges, hunting them down with helicopters and beating old men to death in the streets! What kind of threat does an old man pose?

Thanks President Obama. Once again you prove that you are a dismal excuse for a President, utterly lacking in humanity, courage or character.

From an unidentified Twitter posting:

• More than 10.000 Bassij Milittias get position in Central Tehran, including Baharestan Sq.

• Army Helycopters flying over Baharestan and Vali Asr Sq.

• The streets, squares and around BAHARESTAN (Approx. South-eastern of Tehran) is swarming with military forces, civilian forces, the security motorists

• The croud have moved to the south of Baharestan, the situation is bad, the shooting has started

• In Baharestan Sq. in the Police shooting, A girl is shot and the police is not allowing to let them help

• In Baharestan we saw militia with axe chopping people like meat – blood everywhere – like butcher

This is the Iranian regime that our president (until today) hesitated to criticize at all, wading into its own unarmed people and axing them to death, bludgeoning women (seen as the greatest threat to the regime) and throwing them to their deaths from pedestrian bridges. The same Iranian regime whose embassy officials are invited to American embassies around the world to celebrate on July 4th, of all things, a successful revolution. Those invitations have now, thankfully, been rescinded. At least someone at State has some decency and class!

Pray for these courageous Iranian protestors. And pray that Israel has the courage and the wherewithal to prevent these lunatic creatures from acquiring a nuclear arsenal!

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!

In March, Fannie Mae (FNM.N)(FNM.P) said it would no longer guarantee mortgages on condos in buildings where fewer than 70 percent of the units have been sold, up from 51 percent, the paper said. Freddie Mac (FRE.P)(FRE.N) is due to implement similar policies next month, the paper said.

In a letter to the CEO's of both companies, Representatives Barney Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Anthony Weiner warned that a 70 percent sales threshold "may be too onerous" and could lead condo buyers to shun new developments, according to the paper.

Barney Frank is a blithering idiot and his co-conspirator Weiner is just as bad! Has Barney Frank learned nothing from the housing debacle that has created so much turmoil throughout our nation? What a pair of dumbshits!

THE BRILLIANT ERIC AT TYGGGR EXPRESS HAS POSTED A WORTHWHILE READ

Here is just a smidgeon of it:

"President Bush wanted to take out the leaders of Iran. Fellow Neocons Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolofowitz wanted to hit Iran. Ambassador John Bolton was for it.

Yet low poll numbers meant that President Bush could not get the lily livered cowards in Congress to go along with him.

So why is President Obama, who has high poll numbers, hiding under his Oval Office desk in a fetal position rather than condemning the Iranian leadership of the mullahs and Armageddonijad?

Because, to quote Political Goddess Andrea Tantaros, “Obama is a wussie.”

That is the new small w. He is a wussie."

I am finding that a day that begins without Eric and/or Babalu Blog generally doesn't go so well!

IT'S LIKE WATCHING A REALLY BAD CAR CRASH!

As I've mentioned before, during my recent lengthy illness, I got hooked on watching the execrable "Jon and Kate Plus 8" on TLC. Last night, like a lot of people, I was fascinated by how they were going to announce what was already a fact, they had filed for dissolution of their 10-year marriage! Naturally the castrating bitch Kate spent the entire hour of the show casting herself as the heroine and the victim of Jon's "unacceptable activities" when in fact, any man married to her would have fled as though his BVDs were on fire! And, while he still possessed his cojones!

Jon was slightly more articulate than he has been in the past; it's clear that he loves his kids and tried to put up with her royal high and mightiness as long as he could for their sake. Those crooked houses they ordered were darling and his idea for placing them out of the eyeshot of the vulturous pressers was a good one. Naturally, the control freak he is [still] married to wanted them where SHE wanted them. And, as always, she got her way! Good heavens I dislike that woman!

One look at that horrendous haircut she sports is a clue that Kate Gosselin is truly trailer trash. Then there is her sitting on the couch with her filthy bare feet on display - the woman has no class! Jon Gosselin is well rid of her. Here's hoping that cash doesn't trump the best welfare of those 8 adorable children in the divorce.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS AND SLAVERY!

Roger Hedgecock tells the truth in this comprehensive article laying out all the ways in which the Democratic Party promoted and protected and attempted to extend the domination and subjugation of the black citizens of this country. Why then does the American black citizen love and adore every lying and racist member of this Party. Are they stupid? Or do the Democrats have a brilliance about flimflamming people that we Republicans have not discovered?

Help to AIDS-stricken people in Africa. The doing of Bill Clinton? Hell no - it was George W. Bush, folks! Foundation of the KKK - Democrats, kids.

THE RUMBLING HAS BEGUN!

This extraordinary op-ed piece, written by Tom Sears, a professor of accounting at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York pretty much makes a great case that The Won's presidency is a complete failure after only 5-1/2 months!
