MUST READ OF THE WEEKEND

The ever insightful and brilliant GM Roper has an excellent post up that is a must read. It is entitled "Pictoral History of a Failed Presidency" and is a graphic and totally readable history of that worthless knucklehead infecting our presidency at the present time! Please do feel free to cut over to GM's site at any time for worthwhile reading!

COMMERCIALS THAT HAVE EARNED MY CONTEMPT!

So okay, that may have been slightly over-the-top but, in no specific order, here are a few of my all time disliked commercials (this week at least)!

1. "That's for babies" - featuring a badly dressed, clearly overcoddled little female person rejecting any clothing suggested by her wimpy mother who doesn't just say, "This is what you're wearing darling and deal with it!". But the kid likes Cheerios. Which means that as long as that commercial is running, I'm not buying the damned things!
2. "Nobody touches my Butterfingers snackers!" - an overprivileged, not terribly attractive, faux-Southern belle is sitting with a guest when she pours out a bag of the aforementioned treats into a bowl. The friend, believing that hospitality is on offer, reaches out to have a taste, thus triggering the candy bowl's defensive capabilities and getting her fingers zapped! This is a demonstration of total rudeness. If you're going to put out food when you have a guest in the house, then that guest should be invited to sample the candy!
3. The pertussis commercial which, while highlighting a possibly serious threat to infant health, manages to do so in a fashion that is horrendously unpleasant and off-putting to those of us who aren't blessed (?) with infants in our homes. And it runs every 20 seconds it seems on some channels. Personally, I just change the channel.
4. Captain Morgan Rum commercials - all of them are just annoying and offensive.
5. The diaper commercial with the pee fountain shooting up out of the infant's diaper. In the first place, no baby can shoot that strong a stream and in the second, this stupid commercial is often seen at meal times.
6. The heart wrenching ASPCA or other animal rescue commercials. On too frequently, too filled with pathos and hey you dorks - the damned polar bears aren't dying! Unless they're dying of embarrassment from those commercials! Global Climate Change (as they're calling it now) is a hoax people!
7. Any commercial or advance peek at "The View" where the ugly face of Joy Behar is visible, just on general principles. I don't watch this show because I thoroughly dislike the obscenely biased presentations and the strident stupidity of Joy(less) Behar! Whoopie I can take, Barbara I can take. Joy Behar offends me for days! I'm biased and glad to proclaim it - against HER!

UPDATE: I truly despise the toilet paper commercial where the man is too freaking lazy to walk down the hall and get a fresh roll of toilet paper and thus, gets his hair shaved off by too rough, gets himself decorated with too soft and so forth. Get off your dead ass and go get a COUPLE of rolls you moron!

Then there's the dumb couple who are so astonished by the arrival of some lame ass magician with new packaging for popcorn. Does she really have to prattle on about how amazing it is - WITH HER MOUTH FULL? And our children watch these commercials and learn from them. Shocking.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN OBAMA IS LYING?

Every damned time he opens his mouth!

His speech last night was a masterpiece of untruths, exaggerations, hyperbole and campaign rhetoric blaming President Bush for the current budget impasse. Really? At what point do you take responsibility for your manifest failures?

Barack Hussein Obama, easily the most incompetent president EVER (against some pretty tough competition that includes the inept and disastrous James Earl Carter, Jr.) managed to not only blame President Bush for his nearly three years of unprecedented failures, but also managed to show major disrespect to his "go-to" guy in the Senate, Senator Harry Reid, who is showing some intelligence by distancing himself from "Typhoid Barry" on The Hill.

The country can, with the grace of God, survive this ludicrous faux President. What it cannot survive is another four years of his lackluster, fumbling, weak-kneed and anti-American administration!

DELUSION AND DENIAL - OBAMA STYLE!

"The American people are sold [on higher taxes]," Obama said. "The problem is members of Congress are dug in ideologically." You're damned skippy you delusional twit!

Our increasingly out-of-touch president seems to think that 80% of Americans WANT higher taxes. No you jug-eared, incapable, cretinous yahoo, we don't. We want you to stop SPENDING our money unwisely.

Did the Tea Party movement teach you nothing? Are you so incredibly politically tone-deaf? Go play golf and quit running your ignorant mouth, sir! You aren't qualified to be president of this country, intellectually or in terms of character. We won't even discuss your constitutional situation! Nor should we discuss the fact that you need to be thoroughly vetted by a large and talented team of mental health professionals! Things aren't going your way so you are stamping your little foot, wagging your little finger and pretending that reality isn't true!

Dumbass!

THERE'S NO ACCOUNTING FOR THE VAGARIES OF HOLLYWEIRD!

Started thinking today about who we choose to accept as "celebrities" and "stars" and realized that there is no rhyme or reason for most of the people who have careers (Paris Hilton comes to mind) despite a noticeable lack of real talent!

Then there is the beautiful and talented Nadia Bjorlin. All you need to do is look at her and listen to the glorious voice and you wonder why she isn't one of the biggest stars ever! She easily sings opera and yet show tunes don't elude her abilities either. She is absolutely gorgeous. Those blue eyes are mesmerizing!

I swear, we are a very weird bunch of people in this nation!

KARMA'S A BITCH!

When the Casey Anthony verdict was announced, I was sickened by the poor prosecution efforts (although the obsessive media coverage sickened me even more) and the poor result therefrom. I doubt that there are many people in this country (and abroad) who truly believe Casey Anthony was not in some way responsible for her 2-year-old daughter's death! Whether through misadventure or intent, this woman has - in my opinion - blood on her hands.

Now that the sentencing is complete and it appears that she won't be waltzing out of prison to drink champagne with her utterly amoral defense team (I mean - yes, you must defend your client rigorously - but there are rules of decency that ought to be followed regardless!) she is apparently looking forward to making a bunch of money from the death of her child and her subsequent prosecution for that death. Talk about blood money.

All that being said, my feelings are, leave her to the mercy of the Great Judge and expect the heavenly finger to be given to any media outlet that puts money into this bitch's hands. Let karma deal with her and in the meantime, pray for the repose of the soul of Caylee Anthony who - given the quality of mothering she apparently received - is truly in a much better place, in the hands of her Creator who loves her, will not harm her and will protect her and cherish her.

Finally - another question - what's the deal with Casey Anthony's forehead? She looks like a mini-throwback to prehistoric man!? Get bangs, hide that disgusting evidence of just how primitive you are!

HOPE ALL Y'ALL HAD A GREAT 4th OF JULY

And that most of us remembered what the day was about - which didn't include hot dogs and hamburgers and frightening the neighborhood cats and dogs half to death with fireworks!

HBO to my astonishment actually showed a completely appropriate day of the mini-series about John Adams. I did not know that both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on July 4th, on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. They were good friends and then very much at odds with each other until in their very much later years they mended the rift and became friends again. Each assumed that the other was still alive to celebrate the anniversary.

A great deal of attention was paid to the deep bonds between John Adams and Abigail Adams. They were married 54 years when she died and he was still very much in love with her. Modern politicians should take note.

Finally, saw a Sean Hannity program last week that featured nearly an entire hour interview with Herman Cain. The man is impressive to be sure. And he may be someone the Dems cannot denigrate without shooting themselves in the foot. Of course, now that Joe Biden is on Twitter, we may not have to wait so long to hear HIS gaffes!

In any event, hope you all had a great holiday weekend despite the oppressive heat and were safe and sane and filled with patriotic sentiments.

NEW YORK - A DESPICABLE CITY

The recent offensive behavior of some New Yorkers (with the apparent acquiescence of the others around them) at an outdoor showing of a film which was attended by Glenn Beck WITH his wife and daughter is a very good sign that this city has absolutely no manners and no class.

While I believe that most New Yorkers consider themselves the cream of the crop, brimming with intelligence and style, I'm here to tell you that the behavior of those people who were overtly intolerant of Mr. Beck and his family are the most thuggish cretins on planet Earth!

I am always reminded of the comment of former critic Pauline Kael when Richard Nixon was elected to his first term: "I don't know how he won; nobody I know voted for him!" What a dumb bitch! These New York people (like the Angelenos and the San Franciscans) believe that so-called flyover country is populated by cretino0us yahoos with no education, no breeding, no intelligence and no class. In actual fact, we are the ones who keep your leaky rowboats afloat you moronic twits and it's high time someone said so!

We can start by voting that class-warfare-promoting jerk Obama out of office!

QUERY!!

Who is more incompetent - the Washington Redskins or Barack Hussein Obama?

Just asking!

IS THE WORLD GOING TO HE** IN A HANDBASKET?

Sean Hannity lost his composure on his show last night and was absolutely roaring at a blonde left-wing bimbo who was on his panel who was insisting that it was both correct and good for the government to start inquiring of 12 year olds about their sex lives "for the greater good" whateverinhell that means! Then she tried to spin Global Climate Change (used to be know as Global Warming before the junk science and hypocrisy was thoroughly exposed) as being the fault of people who have steak for dinner! What a dimwitted apologist for airy fairy theories.

We have serious stuff going on in the world folks. The Middle East is largely composed of people who hate our guts, want what we have, and who will kill us to get it! Why are we wasting time on this kind of crap? Do we really think if we lick their withers it's going to buy us tranquility in our time? Really? Not so much.

People on both coasts seem to be under the impression that they are the intelligentsia and movers and shakers of this land. Apparently the lesson of the Tea Party Movement is wholly lost on them. There are a lot of us who still believe in God, still attempt to keep the 10 Commandments sacred and who do not want a government bureaucrat indoctrinating our kids with the latest crack-brained theories! Police cannot question a minor outside of the presence of their parent(s) but school factotums have abrogated unto themselves the right to ask highly personal and invasive questions as part of the school curriculum. No wonder Johnny cannot read - he's being taught by lunatics and idiots!

I am very depressed about the state of the world and our nation in particular. I refuse to give in to the feelings however - I'm going to get myself in better physical shape, clean my house and then find a Tea Party rally to attend whenever possible!

And just as an aside, wasn't Senator Rubio's recent speech inspiring and on point?

I REFUSE TO SAY "I TOLD YOU SO" BUT WEINER WAS LYING, WASN'T HE?

Krauthammer advises that when someone is committing political suicide, just stand back and watch and don't cheerlead because it isn't seemly to do so! With this, I agree.

He also urges compassion for the man. Nope. Not gonna happen. Where was this man's compassion when he was uttering foul and hateful things about every Republican on God's green earth?

I don't believe the Congressman is truly sorry - except that he's truly sorry that he got caught! Adios perv, don't let the door hit you on your skinny ass as you leave the stage!

UPDATE: For some weird reason, Bill O'Reilly, bloviator supreme, is still trying to show compassion for Weiner but I'm not buying into that crap. Of course, it's sad to watch a man's life being destroyed, but his own actions are the root of the problem. I do, however, think that Republicans shouldn't pile on but rather sit back and watch the debacle unfold!

ABOUT THOSE CHICKENS, MR. EDWARDS

They've finally started coming home to roost, sir! A grand jury has indicted you on felony charges and you will now have to answer those charges in a court of law.

And before the Dems (most of whom possess all the moral fiber of a speck of dust) start prattling on about how "it's just sex" - it isn't. It's about deception and thievery. Using monies contributed in good faith, by people supporting a candidate's campaign for the presidential nomination, for personal purposes is felonious behavior. Doing so while babbling on about how you love your dying WIFE, is disgusting! Claiming to possess strong family values is just plain hypocritical.

People never seemed to flinch in the face of some of Sen. Edwards' verbal hyperbole while practicing law - including the fact that he seemed to be claiming to channel dead babies. But this - this was just too, too much for too, too many people!

JACK KEVORKIAN DEAD AT AGE 83

Mayer Morganroth, a friend of the infamous Jack Kevorkian, has announced that Dr. Kevorkian has died of pneumonia and kidney problems at a Detroit-area hospital. He was 83 years old.

Kevorkian was released from a Michigan prison in 2007 after serving eight years for second-degree murder. He claims to have assisted in at least 130 suicides.

Now he is answering to the ultimate judge.

ABOUT WEINER'S WEINER

Sorry - that was lame but I don't apologize! Any more than Andrea Shea King apologizes for "Pounding Weiner's Weiner"!

IF his Twitter account was hacked - and I very much doubt that it was - why then was he able to use it just a few minutes after the "boner" picture was sent? And why wasn't an immediate investigation begun? If your account is hacked it is very difficult to regain control of it again - certainly not in just a few minutes at least.

Could it be that Rep. Weiner is simply embarrassed due to the apparent lack of size of the member's member being sent via Twitter? If I were a man, I'd be mortified! Since I'm not, I find it a pathetic member to be ignored. Come to think of it, that's pretty much the way I think of the Congressman from New York!

Nothing happened until his nuts were in the cookies (sorry - the bad puns just keep flowing) already and now, if he was lying (and I think he was) he has a big fat Federal indictment pending on his ass!

Anthony Weiner has a long and inglorious history of making inflammatory and offensive comments about Republicans. About time he got his finger caught in his boner!

IT'S A SAD, SAD DAY AT OHIO STATE

I awakened this morning to the very sad news that Jim Tressel, coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes, had resigned his position due to the ongoing scandal regarding discounted tattoos and sold championship rings and the like.

While I don't condone the activities of the players, what business is it of the NCAA if tattoo parlors want to give marquee players a discount? Frankly, my long-held belief is that universities make a veritable fortune from their football programs and the players who are, granted, getting a fine education for free, still have expenses during their college careers for which, quite honestly, they should be paid. They shouldn't be put into the position of grubbing around for nickles and dimes but rather should be free from the financial pressures during their college experience. That way they can and should concentrate on their school work (as Tressel insisted they do - to his enormous credit), might not be tempted to bolt to the pros early, and it would leave a school free to concentrate on educating all of their students and administering a successful athletics program, without the fuddy-duddy, antiquated NCAA breathing down their necks.

Here's a thought - why not tell the NCAA to go stuff themselves? Their investigations are NEVER EVER conducted in a discreet fashion and even when the allegations and charges are baseless - and they have been in many cases at many schools - the school is forever tainted by the rooting around of the NCAA investigators who try to justify their salaries by painting everyone with the same guilt-brush!

Granted, I am an OSU Alumni and more than a little biased (unlike the MSM, I admit my bias), but that's how I see it.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

That Justice Elena Kagan will recuse herself from consideration of the Obamacare lawsuits when they reach the Supremes?

She was involved in framing some of the legal strategy involved in the horror known as Obamacare and thus, by any measure of judicial conduct, she must recuse herself.

Is this likely to happen? Hell, no, not if Justice Kagan's unsuitability to rule on the Obamacare cases isn't questioned, and it should be questioned loudly and frequently in full hearing and view of the American public.

GOOD NEWS ABOUT MARK

Thank you all so much for your prayers. Apparently our West Virginia-born guy is going to go a few more successful rounds with the brain tumors! He is one tough dude!

He went to Charlottsville, they did the pre-op and detected a baby tumor starting to manifest and when they did the gamma knife surgery, they zapped the larger tumor but the baby one as well.

Our guy was home by 8 p.m. the same day, with a headache due to the screws they had to put in his skull, but otherwise in great shape and not needing another MRI for 3 months!

Thank you all. We know your prayers are helping to sustain him!

WHY I VOTED FOR KIRSTIE ALLEY TO WIN DWTS!

Call is solidarity with another old broad, call it fellow feeling for someone who struggles, as I always have, with their weight, call it anything you want - to me, picky purist that I am, Kirstie Alley was the clear winner on Dancing With the Stars this season.

She was the oldest contestant, at 60 years of age, and the most considerably out of shape, with an egocentric partner who is 31 years old and of Ukrainian ancestry - a demonstrated curmudgeon!

Throughout the run of the series, she could have whined, she could have pouted, she could have done a lot of things. She could have put on a weekly tantrum like Kate Gosselin did. She could have whined the way Jennifer Grey did. However, what she DID do was practice . . . very hard . . . and work through adversity and pain. Each week she brought to the dance floor what was often not the most perfect dance, but definitely the dance to which the fullest commitment had been given! And THAT is why I'm voting for the courageous and outrageous Kirstie Alley, who at age 60, actually did a cartwheel during last night's freestyle.

She deserves to win and she got my votes, whatever else happens! Hines is good and Chelsea is okay. But Kirstie is my choice!

UPDATE: Hines Ward won, but in my heart (and I suspect in her own) Kirstie was the REAL winner! She looks amazing, she seems happier, less nutty and secure!
