Don't Ask-Don't Tell:"Yoo-Hoo, Abdul....put your hands up & your pants down"....I was just wondering what a gay platoon might belike in today's military...nailing terrorists in Afghanistan could be a bit different next year...
What happened in those "secret" meetings in the beginning of the George W. Bush administration...Dick Cheney's fingerprints may just be all over the mess & massive dereulation ways of that corrupt & incompetent industry...time & evidence will show just how screwed up that industry is & how many politician and bureaucrats had their hand in creating the mess we have in the Gulf;
HURRICANES PLUS OIL= A potential dreary mess for the Gulf Coast
The
tea bagger mentality:unemployed tea bagger,
Tom Grimes attempted to get government type healthcare & called his congressman...to
no avail...a pissed off Grimes got angry & became a tea bagger....he decided
he doesn't like "BIG GOVERNMENT"...Tom made a comment about how the government
ought to quit giving handouts...people would be better off fending for
themselves...Tom is also on social security....
John
McCain grasps at what's left of his credibility....using
Tea bagger pin-up girl, Sarah Palin, McCain is but a shell of his former
maverick self when he had guts, courage and respect among independents...he
sold his soul during the Bush administration when he realized he needed
the far right...to win anything...a sad case..
Nothing Ever Changes in Cincinnati: Rightwing nut & hillbilly made good broadcaster. Bill Cunningham keeps showing why Cincinnati is so backwards: to keep saying barack HUSSEIN Obama, inferring that he's some sort of Muslim, still works in a town with the motto: "why stand still when you can go backwards?"
...Tea Bagger Mentality:The Tea Baggers stayed true to form yesterday by spewing out racial & other slurs to Blacks & other types who were there to discuss the upcoming healthcare reform vote...these hicks are just an updated version of the Klan...disguised as human beings....they pretend to be infuriated about government spending...except when George W. Bush did it, not a peep was heard...it took a Black man to assume the presidency to get these racists out in mass....just like the old days...their just upset you can't lynch people anymore...recent polling has Tea Baggersspining for George W. Bush...1/3 of them still think Obama is NOT a US citizen...other polling showed these people are mostly educated which is bullshit...of course when asked they will say they are educated...I say they have education, through the 6th grade..
Deregulation is at the heart of the Gulf Oil Spill:the hands off mentality got this mess started & right-wing whiners like Louisiana Governor,Bobby Jindal, who kept up the cheap rhetoric that wins votes on the right: "we want less government"...who ya gonna call when oil is lapping up on your wetlands, Bobby?
What Was Minnesota Thinking? Everytime I see Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn), I keep wondering what type of idiots live in Minnesota...all the verbal vomit this twit spews out has nothing to do with reality...everything Obama does is leading our country to socialism...I wonder how many senior citizens who receive social security & Medicare agree with her...,& if so, why don't they refuse that money & help?.
Karl Rove: Mistakes & Consequences:Rove is making the rounds pathetically trying to rewrite history...he claims not being part of diving the country, using the 9/11 attack to win votes...he simply lies about almost everything including the reasons for going to war in Iraq...he'll win over no new converts...only hold on to the kool-aid drinking fools who bought into the mistake ridden Bush administration which left our country teetering near a depression...
Tell Me Something I Don't Know: The website, The Daily Beast has determined Cincinnati to be the craziest city in America (based on "shrinks" per capita, stress surveys & consumption of alcohol)
Is Everybody Angry?...Even killer whales are getting pissed off...but then again, they have the word "Killer" in their name..everyone from ploarized Washington, to citizens like crazed professor, Amy Bishop or kamakze pilot Joseph Andrew Stack are just going ballistic...needless to say, millions of people are losing their retirement, their savings & medical care is either out of sight or overly expensive....& that is driving many to anger & outrageous behavior...the Tea Bagger crowd are crazed as they bring guns & threats to rallies...
Just What Cincinnati Needs: All You Can Eat:My beloved hometown of Cincinnati is awash with over weight people...lumbering behemoths lurch from side to side as they walk around...God forbid you get stuck behind them at the mall, they're so big, it's hard to get around these giants...if they get between you and the sun, it's like a total eclipse!...when they get their shoes shined, they have to take the guys word for it...now, just to help these waistlines burst into another orbit, Montgomery Inn is offering All You Can Eat Ribs & Saratoga Chips...lots of meat & starch for these leviathans...
Lizards & Giant Snakes Attacking South Florida!Iguanas & other lizards (some up to 5-6-7 feet) are invading South Florida..ditto that for giant Pythons...feeble minded idiots, some who have such things & pets, only to realize the insanity, have dumped these reptiles off in the Everglades & other areas...they reproduced & now we've got a B-Science fiction movie on our hands...
-------------------------------OTHER NEWS & THE BOTTOMLINE----------------------------------------
Ft. Hood Texas: That whacked out Muslim, Hasan, is paralyzed from the waist down & has gotten the first of many years of torture for his evil deeds...I still say this guy was unhappy about his own miserable life & used the Islamic Jihadist thing as an excuse...he wanted to die & was left in this retched shape which is a good first start to a life of hell
Bush/ Cheney/ Rumsfeld screw-ups helped bin Laden escape in the Tora Bora mountain area during December, 2001, a new report from the Senate foreign relations committee illustrates but most of us already knew this....Tommy Franks was still in command too so his finger prints are all over this as well...to make matters worse, not only did bin laden escape to fight another day but his win over America made him a hero to many crazed Muslims and he helped resurge his maniacal minions to gain strength in Afghanistan after we blindly detoured into Iraq, which also emboldened Iran to begin Nuke proliferation....that adminstration was a perfect example of failure in motion...& it's now on Obamas plate to clean up....good luck Mr. President
