CAN LIBERAL COMEDIANS LIKE DAVE LETTERMAN SINK ANY LOWER?
I stopped watching Dave Letterman a long time ago. So have a lot of people.
He is an angry classless man now stooping to reach the lowest common denominator.
After having to read about perverted rape
fantasies of conservative women on respectable
blog sites like Politico.com being
described as the "lighter side" of politics,
it comes as no surprise that someone like
Letterman, who finds nothing funny about the
absurd comments, gaffe's, and actions of people
on the left-wing, would tell a "joke" about the
14 year-old daughter of Gov. Sarah Palin
getting "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez in Yankee stadium.
The double standard of the left-wing and their media in situations like this is appalling. I am so sick of these people.
Hey, Dave! Your side won! You fooled half of the
voters into voting for Obama and now this country is being deconstructed and rebuilt into the "utopia" people like you envision.
Haven't you checked the unemployment rates? Your 401-K balance? The price of gasoline has doubled in the last few months.
The people of this country saw their net worth drop by $1.33 TRILLION in the first quarter of the Obama reign.
Aren't you happy? People are hurting. The country you all seem to hate so much is dying a slow death. Buffoons like Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid are out wreaking their havoc.
Why are you still such a hateful, angry, bitter, and unfunny man?
Of course I, who observe all, think I may know:
Top 10 Reasons Dave Letterman is angry, bitter, and just not so funny anymore
10. Dave's fourth coronary bypass inadvertently connected the left side of his brain to a bile duct.
9. His longtime companion and now wife won’t let Drew Barrymore dance topless on his desk anymore.
8. Since January, all joke-writers have been hired by the new top-secret Obama Comedy Czar.
7. Getting passed over for the second time as Johnny Carson’s replacement on the Tonight Show
(for Conan O'Brien) has sent Dave over the edge.
6. Dave's confused as to the significance of the term "mean deviation" learned when he took statistics at Ball State in Muncie.
5. Lou Reed absolutely refuses to perform Sweet Jane one more time.
4. Dave’s still mad at Paul Shaffer for not getting him a gig singing with the Blues Brothers at the 1997 Super Bowl in New Orleans.
3. Seven-hundred-and-sixteen Depends jokes since last summer, and still not one nickel in kickbacks.
2. Money won’t make you happy, being happy won't make you money, but eating cottage cheese won’t make you either.
And the number one reason is ...
1. The only person left on the planet who’ll go out for a beer with him is John McCain.
It's so hard to imagine his hatred (and that of the left-wing in general) of Sarah Palin is so deep, so irrational, that he'd think she is dumb and Katie Couric is smart.
Have a nice late night!
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK! 'THIS IS THE FBI ... COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP ...
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT!'
Two hundred years of common sense and legal precedent are swirling down the drain.
Read it and weep:

According to Michigan Congressman Mike Rogers, Congress wasn't even briefed about it.
It was almost a year ago when I warned that this might be coming:
http://metaphorsbwithu.livejournal.c
http://metaphorsbwithu.livejournal.c
Now you know why I so strongly opposed the nomination of Attorney General Eric Holder, who was associated with a law firm that included terrorists as clients.
It's not that I'm prescient about such things; it's just that these leftists are so transparent and predictable. After observing and engaging them for many years, I know them like the back of my hand.
Dark days! Getting darker!
WARM WISHES FOR A WONDERFUL DAY TO A LOVELY FRIEND
My friend

And so, on this your special day, let me wish you a wonderful birthday of celebration and self-indulgence and say, I'm glad there's you ...
You are a very lovely, talented, and thoughtful lady, Aria, and I hope you stick around on these pages for a long time.
OBAMA'S SIX-THOUSAND WORD SPEECH TO THE MUSLIM WORLD TODAY USED THE WORD 'FREEDOM' ON ONLY THREE OCCASIONS
Freedom is still a rare word and delicate concept to discuss in public.
I haven't heard the entire speech and have briefly scanned it for the main points, but stark in my overview is the fact that the word "freedom" appeared in only three sentences, two referring to freedom of religion and one in promising not to "impose" our definition of freedom on other people, but"allowing" them to decide how they want to be ruled themselves.
The expression "human rights" appeared only twice. "Women's rights" once in saying women should have the right to decide whether they want to have the same rights as men ... or not.
Such courage!
President Obama's interpretation of freedom contrasts sharply with that of the men who created our system of government. Human rights, the right of free speech, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the right of the individual, to them were "natural" and God-given" and extended to all people.
That philosophy has resulted in the evolution of the greatest nation in the history of the world in all areas, from technology and industry to literature, music and the arts. President Obama, and so many who share his philosophy, believe that rights are to be meted to men and women by other men and women, whether by democratic means, oligarchies, monarchies, or whatever.
Hence the great divide between true freedom and the current brand of "freedom light" as rationed out by politicians, rulers and their minions in varying degrees.
One need only consider the commemoration of the massacre at Tiananmen Square 20 years ago. Most young people have no idea of what happened on that awful bloody day. President Obama certainly did not mention it in his speech today, although it would have been a powerful example of the "yearning to be free."
It was, after all, twenty years ago today.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/05/w
Unfortunately, freedom is still a rare word that must be used judiciously, and a delicate concept to be discussed in ways not to offend. Even these carefully-crafted so not-to-offend words are being censored in parts of the Middle East ... so powerful is even a watered-down version of freedom.
That is the place to which this world has come.
HUMMING ALONG - NOW THE BIG QUESTION ... WILL THE PRESIDENT GRANT PERMISSION TO BUY OR NOT... AND AT WHAT COST
Well, President Obama is apparently making good on his promise to "save or create" jobs:
http://www.laobserved.com/biz/2009/06/c
Unfortunately, reportedly, it's in China!
I guess there will be a ban on them here, what with the new mileage standards.
I wonder if they'll be manufacturing Humvees for our military as well? That should make you feel better!
Maybe we can run a power line across the Atlantic Ocean and start buying Iranian nuclear power to charge all out little electric cars.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co
Assuming Iran promises to stop threatening to obliterate Israel. I'm sure a simple handshake agreement would suffice in that case. After all ... Obama says if we unilateraly reduce our nuclear arsenal, other countries will be so impressed by our sincerity that they'll abandon their aggresive tendencies and follow suit.
And think of the jobs laying such a line would create! Of course that's a job Americans probably won't do, so don't count your pesos before they're printed.
Oh, well. Go figure!
YOU MADE ME SCREW YOU, I DIDN’T WANT TO DO IT … I DIDN’T WANT TO DO IT
There is no satisfaction about having been right about the takeover of a major American corporation like GM by the Obama administration I assure you.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1243854
There is frustration though, because so few heeded the predictions so many of us made during the presidential campaign last year and what that boded for our economy in particular and way of life in general.
I said from the beginning that controlled bankruptcy was the correct route to go but critics said this was “not an option”. However, now that the government has control, along with the UAW Union which was given a large share of control alongside the president they supported, after secured bondholders (like those of Chrysler) are left with pennies on the dollar, after Obama dismissed GM’s restructuring plan, NOW bankruptcy is suddenly the only route to go.
Make no mistake, Obama, as so many of us tried to warn everyone, had, has, and is executing a socialist/fascist agenda and he expects you and me to suffer and sacrifice (hard times will continue and you will be “called on” to do bite the bullet) for some future Utopian dream.
Your future is, as I said after the election, dark indeed and your "freedom to choose" has just taken a big hit with the government and the environmentalists having a much bigger say in what you buy and, ultimately, where you go.
What the government owns, the government can control. Don't you understand that by now? Soon it will own you.
Oh, in case you missed it, Obama's ban on lobbyists were dropped this weekend and the Attorney General dropped charges against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation in Philadelphia ...
http://metaphorsbwithu.livejournal.c
Nice job.
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
Sometimes you made me glad
But there were times, dear
You made me feel so bad.

JUST IN THE MOOD FOR SOME SIMPLE FUN BECAUSE I CAN ... AND THAT'S NO JIVE
Of course not everything was rosy but ... check it out. There's more too:
Thankfully timeless this life,
awash in sounds and images
that never leave me,
star-dusted shadows across a candle-lit floor,
smoky drafts bathed in colors,
in time all blended together,
soft tints and brilliant hues,
formed by splashes
on a spinning circle of white
that only occasionally
comes to rest
but never bleeds.
Thanks for listening ... or not.

I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE KNOWN IT TO RECOGNIZE IT
It's so funny how I was so often either dismissed or called a "fear-monger" when I used words like socialism, fascism, and Marxism over a year ago, and now everyone is using those words, from Dr. Thomas Sowell to Russian blogger Stanislav Mishin on his blog Mat Rodina.
http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/column
Read it with interest. Aside from the colorful language it's pretty much right on.
It's amazing that so many people here are clueless, but Pravda pretty much explains why.
YOU DON'T NEED A WEATHERMAN TO KNOW WHICH WAY A CHILL WIND BLOWS
Has anyone noticed that the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) daily graph showing Arctic ice extent has been down again?
http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/
This happened in the beginning of the year too when the media began reporting rapid melting of sea ice (without looking out their windows) based on faulty data. In fact, the sea ice had been growing at record levels.
Of course that didn't support the agenda of the global warming alarmists and schemers who have been predicting an ice-free North Pole now for two years.
After nearly reaching the average for 1979-2000 levels in late April, the recent data had shown an unusual and abrupt dive indicating, as was the case in January, either the satellite sensors are going out again or someone is fudging the data.
The top line is the "average" ice levels from 1979 to 2000 (when it was greatest) and the middle line is the current ice levels over the past year.
So what is the ice extent now that the melting season is supposed to be in full swing? We don't know because the NSDIC isn't telling.
Does this make you wonder how accurate previous low levels might have been, perhaps having been underestimated as well but not caught? It does me.
An Arctic team (Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research of the Helmholtz Association) that flew to the Arctic a few weeks ago, however, found Arctic ice thickness twice what the experts expected - about 12 feet instead of 6:
http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blog
The mainstream media is hiding the story of what's really going on in the Arctic. Anyone who has walked out of his or her house this spring and noticed the mild, cool, and even chilly temperatures doesn't need a weatherman to know which way a chill wind blows.
Oh, and a Nancy Pelosi update!
Nancy was sent to the other side of the globe after being caught in her lies about waterboarding and accusing the CIA of lying to her and Congress, but she can't avoid putting her foot in her mouth. She said, in a speech about global warming in China:
"Every aspect of our lives must be subject to an inventory ..."
Imagine telling that to the Chinese!
Okay, Miss Pelosi. Every aspect of our lives needs to be documented and, the logical next step, controlled? Show us how it's done. You go first!
Anyone waking up yet? ;-)

DICK CHENEY CLEANED THE PRESIDENT’S CLOCK TODAY AFTER A VISIBLY DISTURBED OBAMA LASHED OUT AFTER HIS 90-6 BEATING IN THE U.S. SENATE
Yeah, I know. Most liberals hate Dick Cheney, buy into the media portrayal and caricatures
although they've probably never listened to anything he’s ever said.
Modern liberalism is pretty easy in that regard. You don't have to actually know anything. Just parrot the talking points and you’re okay.
Still, comparing the two speeches today, I'd say President Obama attempted a bunt and popped out while former Vice President Cheney hit a three-run homer.
I know no one will likely read his remarks, so here's the text on the left-wing Huffington Post so they can look up some vitriolic anti-Cheney/Bush talking points in case they can't think up anything nasty themselves:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/2
Isn't it interesting that the media has refused to report on a lot of the points Mr. Cheney made today?
Where are the calls to release the redacted memos that showed how enhanced interrogation techniques prevented the loss of innocent lives. The media won't even ask the President that question.
And suddenly the Democrats are trying to block the "truth commissions" they were screaming for before the truth came out about how they were repeatedly informed about these techniques by the CIA.
What a study in contrasts today. Statesmanship over Ideological Partisanship.
A great Civics lesson, a great day to be proud of how America has responded responsibly under the most difficult of times, and a wonderful reminder of how truth speaks so eloquently.
REMEMBER WHEN JOE BIDEN CLAIMED FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT WENT ON NATIONAL TV AFTER THE STOCK MARKET CRASH OF 1929?
Well, while not as funny or absurd, the vice president has friends and foes alike scratching their heads after his latest blunder.
One thing's for sure.
If you want to leak out the secret recipe for Coca Cola.
... or KFC's 11 herbs and spices.
... or the location of Superman's Fortress of Solitude.
Tell Joe Biden!
http://www.nypost.com/seven/05182009/ne
And to think the media gave this guy a pass while working overtime to destroy Sarah Palin.
That said, I do hope President Obama stays healthy over the next four years. To think the next two people in line to succeed him are Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.
Oh, my!
HERE'S AN ABBREVIATED VIDEO OF NANCY PELOSI'S LATEST 'CLARIFICATION'
http://www.breitbart.tv/html/339163.htm
You most likely won't see this on the network news, CNN, MSNBC, etc. very much if ever.
Or will some "journalist" who wants to make a name for himself/herself have the guts to expose these people for what they are?
And these are the people that are supposed to be working for us, who are spending us into oblivion, taking care of their supporters, and putting us at risk while playing their partisan games.
From "I know nuth-ink!" to "Hey, I was busy fighting the War in Iraq!"
Drip ... drip ... drip ...
HOMINA ... HOMINA ... HOMINA ...
Shaking and stuttering, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi - D-California gave her fifth or sixth (I loss track) version of "what she knew and when she knew it" about waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques.
Having heard the nervous almost incoherent answers she gave today on audio, I can't wait for the video.
http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/ma
Talk about torture!
It's been three weeks since this story began to emerge and the major news networks at ABC, CBS, and NBC have been almost silent on it.
The funny thing is that the Dems asked for it. Of course no one ever accused liberals of being rational thinkers. Too bad they get such a pass in a media that allows them to think they can get away with anything.
They wanted a "truth commission". Let's have one and put these people under oath. I said from the beginning the Dems were knee-deep in this story and that once the facts started to emerge (I posted some of this back in 2007 or 2008 I believe) they'd start to change their tune.
They've politicized the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, 9-11, national security, Gitmo, treatment of detainees, etc. and now it is coming back to slap them in the face.
Unfortunately they control the White House, the Justice Department, the CIA, and Congress so the chances of anyone getting to the truth is slim and none.
Incidentally, the CIA (led by former Democrat Chief-of-Staff under Bill Clinton Leon Panetta) just refused the request to release CIA memos that show how enhanced interrogation techniques resulted in information that saved thousands of innocent lives.
Everyone in America should be required to watch and listen to the Speaker shaking in her heels, however, trying to blame everyone else from George Bush to the lying CIA for her problems.
BEAUTY, GRACE, INTELLIGENCE, FAITH, AND CLASS ...
Carrie Prejean is ripping her malicious, repulsive, and loathsome detractors a new one at this moment. The left-wing hate-mongers must be rushing to re-group.
Who'd have though a "beauty contest" winner would express what America is all about so eloquently. So much for stereotyping people, political correctness, the definition of "controversial", the power of the thought police, and the spread of group think, huh?
It goes to show.
AND AS I WROTE A LONG TIME AGO, SHE WASN'T THE ONLY DEMOCRAT WHO KNEW ABOUT 'WATERBOARDING' AND OTHER 'EIT' FROM THE BEGINNING
As I recall, John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif) and Charles Schumer (D-NY) were among others who knew as well.
Thank you CIA for fighting back:
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capito
Here's another with a link to the CIA memos:
http://www.humanevents.com/article.p
Now, as I've been saying to all who will talk about the so-called "torture" memos, let ALL the facts out.
For some interesting reactions and comments to my post on the subject on the UK My Telegraph, go here:
http://my.telegraph.co.uk/metaphorsbwit
Nearly 30 of the comments were deleted by My Telegraph or the commenters (not by me) apparently because of abusive comments.
Now ... let the hearings and investigations begin! What do you say now, Attorney General Holder? Hhmmmmm? After all, the President has already let the Genii out of the bottle.
The Democrat Party ... corrupt, lying, deceitful, destructive, and drunk with power!
And hoisted by their own petard.
(Of course nothing will be done.)
Countries across the globe cheered, along with leftists, Democrats, the ACLU, and al Qaida! With a wave of his pen, President Obama promised to close Gitmo by January of 2010 and to end military tribunals.
When asked what would be done with the detainees, Obama turned to an “adviser” and asked if that had been determined yet.
“We’re working on it,” was the reply.
Since then, the countries across the globe have said, “Thanks, but no thanks” to the President's offer to send them their fair share of
The President now says that maybe President Bush was right, that military tribunals may be necessary.
Democrats have just withdrawn funding support for relocation of detainees. It’s funny but for some reason no one wants these people in their own backyard.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.ph
This is the first time I can ever remember Democrats refusing to fund anything.
Isn’t this just like liberal Democrats though? They rant and rave and stamp their feet but when it comes to actually doing something they duck and hide like the gutless wonders they are.
And what about bringing those troops home from Iraq, Mr. President? You said it’d take 16 months. It’s going on four months and the first withdrawals, a few thousand, aren’t even supposed to start for another 17 months.
Obama giveth and Obama taketh away.
Oh, and have you heard of the White House strong-arm tactics, allegedly pressuring investment firms to devalue Chrysler investor holdings by 70%, turn over majority control to the UAW, all by threatening to destroy them in they fail to cooperate by unleashing the White House Press Corps?
Wake up! This is your government taking over private industries, friends, and threatening individuals to compel them to play ball! This is very scary stuff!
And a pretty good arrangement for the unions and government. First you screw up the industry with outrageous demands and regulation, than when it collapses you take it over using taxpayer money.
Months ago, when "bailout mania" was at its height, I warned at the repercussions of what would happen should the President get control of Chrysler and GM. I said back then the controlled bankruptcy was the only option. Now we are seeing the results of government nationalization of these companies, the extent of the Obama/UAW relationship, and just how far the government will go to broaden its powers and assume even more control of every aspect of our lives.
I wonder why the media don’t think any of these issues are suitable for investigation? Maybe it's because those "tingly feelings" are still short-circuiting their brains.
THAN TO PUT NEW YORK INTO A PANIC OVER A 9-11 STYLE PHOTO OP
Not since the infamous War of the Worlds broadcast in 1938 have so many people been panic-stricken because of a stunt like this. At least Orson Wells kept repeating that his was a Mercury Theatre broadcast.
And they knew it’d cause a panic but went ahead anyway!
Check out the neat picture.
http://wcbstv.com/topstories/air.fo
Rest assured, the nearly $400,000 that was spent for pictures that could have been photoshopped, will be multiplied scores of times investigating what happened so that the President can be cleared of any responsibility.
Let’s just save the taxpayer money. Nothing will be done. Obama will emerge unscathed and in control. The media and his followers will cheer, and the late night comedians will simply resume their “It was George Bush’s fault” mantra to audiences that have obviously lost their minds as well as senses of humor.
But what a 100 day start, huh?
Allocating our taxpayer money to pay for abortions overseas, and supporting more money to be used to pay for unrestricted abortions, including late-term abortions. Will infanticide be next?
The awarding of hundreds of billions of dollars to liberal and left-wing supporters in the nearly $900 billion “Stimulus Bill” no one bothered to read.
The government takeovers of nearly 20 of our largest banks and a large part of the auto industry. As I predicted, the unions are being taken care of by the President … the UAW will apparently be given almost 40% of control in General Motors with the government taking 50%.
It’s so funny how when I predicted such things I was called a “fear monger”, but now that it’s all happening all I get now is the sound of *crickets*!
We have the sight of the President on his perpetual campaign tour (another prediction) going around the world apologizing for this country, placing the blame for all the world’s ills on our shoulders, disrespecting our allies and hugging and shaking hands with our enemies and the dictators and thugs of the world.
Those who hunger for freedom from oppression and liberty must be so comforted and energized.
We have seen the appointments of a menagerie of tax cheats, individuals under investigation, political hacks, left-wing ideologues, and Obama cronies and enablers, all praised by a media that expresses awe and wonder at the brilliance and centrism of his choices.
We now have a Health and Human Services Director who took money from abortion doctors (then forgot to tell), a director of Homeland Security who doesn’t believe “illegal immigration” is illegal, believes in open boarders, and characterizes people who disagree with her leftist views as right-wing extremists.
The “War on Terror” is no more, she says, it's now "Overseas Contingency Operations", and “terrorism” itself is now to be known as a “man made disaster”.
Our Energy Czar (we have lots of these independent unconstitutional czars with enormous powers and control) who is straight out of a sci-fi “B” movie … former physics professor Steven Chu, who has no real education in climatology but is fond of regurgitating Al Gore talking points in promoting global warming, attacking oil, coal, and gas, and pushing"alternative" energy.
Meanwhile, California has apparantly awakened to realize that, as so many have been screaming, corn ethanol is worse for the environment than oil ... which won't make the farmers in Iowa very happy.
Our EPA Czar is a former Bill Clinton appointee, card-carrying tree-hugger Carol Browner, who once destroyed all her EPA communications while under investigation, is an avowed socialist and critic of capitalism, and a strident believer in the fantasy of man-made global warming, and that energy independence can be achieved but cutting down our thermostats and wearing little propellers on our hats.
We have the White House politicizing the Census and including the taxpayer-funded “Vote Fraud” organizers in ACORN in the task of reorganizing voting districts to, no doubt, enhance the Democrat Party’s chances of winning future elections.
Free speech is being reconsidered and plans are being drawn up to silence or punish people, mostly on radio, from criticizing the administration.
As revealed on the campaign trail, The President still considers the Constitution a nuisance and he, along with his soon-to-be One Party Government, are doing things and in ways our Founding Fathers would be astounded to observe.
The Government and it’s control over our lives is EXPANDING at an alarming rate while the Private Sector is shrinking and individual liberty is shrinking.
We have a President who bows before a Saudi King, then tells us not to believe our “lying eyes” because it didn’t happen.
We have a Teleprompter President who reads pre-scripted speeches and answers to pre-approved questions, but who screws up so often (but we never see them on the news or late-night comedy shows) it demonstrates that the alleged intelligence of this man may be seriously over-rated.
We have a President who believes no “crisis” should pass without using it to promote some pet project or agenda.
We have a President who is spending TRILLIONS of dollars in money to be paid by our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren for an irresponsible left-wing agenda and expansion of government never before seen in the world … ever.
He quadruples the national debt in a few months and then promises to “cut it in half” in eight years.
He demands his staff cut spending $100 million, some over four years, and the media doesn’t laugh out loud. Cutting $100 million off $4 TRILLION in spending is like a family earning $40 THOUSAND DOLLARS a year cutting their spending by ONE DOLLAR!
We have recently seen the President had our terrorist enemies a gift on a golden platter, memos on CIA stationary outlining approved enhanced interrogation techniques (redacted so that the American people won’t know how effective they were in preventing 9-11 style “man made disasters).
He is considering prosecuting the people who tried to legally interrogate the planners of 9-11 and no doubt saved thousands of innocent lives. Be very comforted, though. From now on, should another 9-11 happen, the people responsible will be given every right possible no matter how many others may die.
Starting Monday, the country, thanks to Obama, is running on borrowed money. Our future budgets will include nearly $1 TRILLION in interest payments alone.
Do you realize how much $1 TRILLION is?
It’s 1,000 BILLION. It’s a MILLION MILLION.
It staggers the mind!
It's The Incredible Shrinking Economy! Socialists and assorted Left-wingers worldwide are cheering! It shrank by 6.1% in the last quarter ... 30% HIGHER than predicted.
I thought the trillions of dollars we just borrowed were supposed to STIMULATE the economy.
The Swine Flu bother you? Never let a crisis go to waste. Let's Socialize healthcare now! The first death just happened in the U.S.
Uh, What? Mexico has Socialized Healthcare? They haven't even treated the families of the scores of people who've died there? That U.S. death was a child whose parents came here seeking treatment?
Hush your mouth! You must be a FoxNews plant!
And the list can go on and on. All this is simply me sitting here thinking of things off the top of my head.
It’s been one of the worse 100 day periods in history, IMHO, because of what it will bring about. It’s surely the worse 100 days I’ve ever see, and no one seems to notice. I say that because when I mention things “in the news” to Obama supporters they are clueless. On another blog someone commented to me that he didn’t care what Obama says or does, he has his “authority” to do whatever he wants.
The title of my blog was, “That Way Madness Lies”.
How appropriate.
Oh, and the question I raised about where all that anger on the left-wing would go has apparently been answered. And I was correct. It ain't going anywhere. Liberals are always angry, even when they get what that want, but more so when they are being hoisted on their own petards.

MORE SHOTS FROM MY FRIENDS ED & KAT'S VISIT - IT WASN'T TOO LONG BEFORE THE BOYS HAD BECOME HONORARY CAJUN KIDS
As I said before, my friends
miss_kat_1968 and mr_ed1966 are originally from up East and have lived in Georgia for several years. One son was born in the former and the second in the latter. Nevertheless, they both got into the adventure I led them on quickly, and in no time they were having the kind of free and mindless fun I had here in my Louisiana youth.To recap - I took them outside the normal tourist areas, walked in and along the "Cities of the Dead", ate Hubig's pies and drank Barq's Root Beer under oak lined streets, showed them where I like to sit and ponder near the Harvey locks and Mississippi River a few steps from my house, picked up "Po-Boy" sandwiches at a local corner grocery, "taught" the boys how to throw a two-seam and four-seam fastball in my front yard, and showed them Lake Pontchartrain, the lake that drowned the City of New Orleans for several weeks after Hurricane Katrina.
It was there, after finding the remnants of someone's picnic, that we engaged in some old fashioned Louisiana fun. Kicking crawfish heads into the lake:
Whoa! Where'd He Come From?
It wasn't long before the empty skies became filled with hungry gulls searching for the tasty red tidbits that floated on the surface of the water. The boys had so much fun as they ducked and scurried about, squealing with delight, at the ariel bombardment ... watching in amazement as some of the gulls snatched their unexpected snacks almost before they hit the water.
Their dad remarked that, "We spend a fortune on video games and here they are having a blast kicking crawfish heads into the lake." I think he and Kat had fun too, just sitting there watching the show, and taking in the sights and sounds of the massive lake before us.
I told them stories, all true, about how as kids we dove off the seawall into the lake with our socks on ... and explained that the socks were necessary because it was the only way to walk back up the slippery algae-covered steps of the seawall. God bless our moms. If they only knew!
It was like that when I was a kid. We found all manner of things to do with next to nothing, except a bicycle to ride on and an appetite for adventure. There was no bottled water back then, but water was all around us, and few people minded us a quick gulp or two from their garden hoses - and even a splash or two in an impromptu water fight.
Heck, we were kids and most everyone pretty much looked out for us ... and made sure we stayed in line too.
But we were free. We were creative. We were unafraid. And we spent hours climbing trees, walking train tracks and flattening pennies, getting lost in the woods near our houses, playing ball on vast and empty fields for hours, and yes ... kicking crawfish heads into the lake.
There are some who would prefer to have us homogenized, to form us into cookie-cutter images of each other. I take pride in doing my part to keep that from happening ... and helping bring out the best of the best of us.
My friends have two great sons. I made a point to say so.

HEARING THE BLATHER THAT DRIBBLES FROM SO MANY MOUTHS ON THE LEFT IS LIKE EMPTYING A COLOSTOMY BAG ... WITH CONSIDERABLY MORE ODORIFEROUS WASTE
I don't think much comment from me is necessary. Just consider the difference between the twisted inaccuracies, vitriol, and venom of the former and the unassuming All-American character of the latter, the type of person people like Keith Olbermann and Janeane Garofalo were talking about.
Garafalo's spillage begins about 3 minutes into the video. Can you say clueless?
I heard some audio of an interview with Captain Phillips and his wife. Guess who he thanked and who he didn't? I wonder if he'll be joining the rest of us on "the list"?

By the way ... I shook the hand of a WW II vet the other day, a man who stormed Omaha Beach ... all of 19 or so I think he was then. What an honor! God bless our vets. What they must think about what they see happening today!
Like the President mugging, grinning like an idiot, and shaking hands with thuggish dictator Hugo Chavez.
I'm sure all those people in Venezuela who want their country back, and the people of Columbia, whose democracy Chavez seeks to have overthrown, are feeling very reassured.
It was so invigorating! It was “we the people”, no matter what the hysterical voices in the crashing, sinking, mainstream media try to portray us as.
I had a great time at our local tea party just outside New Orleans in Metairie on the corner of Veterans and Causeway Boulevards. It was like a family reunion with people of all ages, a few wacky uncles (maybe some looked at me that way since I love hamming it up in public). It was pure Louisiana: wholesome, friendly, upbeat, funny, with a patriotic can-do spirit, a sprinkling of music, speeches, great weather and just a great time for all.
It’s so refreshing to run into people who actually understand what a federal republic is, what the Amendments to the Constitution were all about, everyday Joes and Janes who make this country work and who are, at last, tired of sitting on the sidelines watching politicians and bureaucrats attacking the productive among us, rewarding failure, spending us into oblivion, and eroding our liberties.
I suppose, according to the Obama administration and shills like CNN, all these nice people I saw and met are what Janet Napolitano defines as radical right-wing domestic terrorists. They believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, in God, in the sanctity of life, in limited government, in legal immigration and the rule of law, in free speech, in separation of powers, in a strong military, and the right to keep most of the fruit of their labors.
In this Alice In Wonderland America of 2009, that makes you a target of ridicule and object of contempt, although it should come as no surprise that people who excuse and exalt people like Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Al Sharpton, and Jeremiah Wright would think that average patriotic Americans who exercise free speech in a peaceful manner are dangerous.
Our local newspaper virtually ignored the protest, and the hundreds of protests across Louisiana and the nation, publishing a small picture in the Metro Section with a short caption. When three "ministers" show up on a streetcorner or a busload of professional ACORN protesters show up it's wall-to-wall coverage.
Susan Roesgen of CNN (who was a news anchor in New Orleans) is now the poster child for what the liberal media has become. In covering the Chicago Tea Party she embarrassed “real reporters” for all time in asking a protester a question, then cutting him off while peppering him with Obama talking points and shrieking about right wing conspiracies and FOX-NEWS.
I do have to cut her some slack regarding her biased reporting, however, because this is the first time I’ve ever heard her called a “reporter”. Maybe she was just auditioning for a position in the Obama administration.
What a joke! Speaking of "jokes", why is it that so many people on the left are so devoid of coherent thought, so smarmy, so hung up on disgusting sexual references and general ugliness - especially when directing their venom at people who actually have a measure of integrity and class.
I feel so soiled when I hear some of these people speak or read their rantings.
On a more positive note, check out a couple of the scores of pics I took:
Lock Your Doors! We're coming to Get you!
By the way … as far as the disgusting Tea Party jokes sliming through the sewers of the internet and cable news, apparently popularized by Anderson Cooper, all I can say is, "I suppose he should know." However, he might want to check out this oldie-but-goodie showing one of his idols having a little difficulty speaking:
Or do you think that was just a teleprompter malfunction?
