I'm Not Sure What You're Eating...

...But fiscal responsibility sure isn't it. Though that does sound delicious, the responsibility that is. Too bad that there is a lot of traffic generated, and my flimsy excuse for a computer cant get to the website right now.

aside...One thing I do not tolerate is smut. No questions, no answers, I think the whole industry is flat out wrong. Except for the 80 year old woman mashing potatoes with her feet. Good luck finding those videos bitches.

I guess this broke with this website and it's bow-tied author.

Back to the point.

Steele has come under steady fire for his financial stewardship of the organization. The RNC had more than $22 million on hand when Steele arrived last year, but is down to under $10 million now despite raising $96 million during that time

This is why I tore up my party card a bunch of years ago. W, whom I voted for with hindsight being 20/20, created the largest bureaucracy in US history. Now, this party runs on cutting spending?

Where are the cuts in your own party pal?

$1,946.25 to Voyeur in West Hollywood for, uh, meals. Meals, huh? And quite a menu they have at Voyeur, according to write-ups in the Los Angeles Times about the new club

Do you remember the post I made about hypocrites? Me either. I will leave you with this to roll around in your head for a while.

The RNC spent more than $17,000 on private jet travel in February as well as nearly $13,000 for limousines and car services

That is one month. It's Good to see all of the money donated by these idiots people is going to the right place.

One Way Or the Other

Though I don't agree with it, Here is a good article about the issue.

FYI...I really don't like this lady.

Snakes

All of them are. Big Russ is pretty much the only one who has stuck to his guns. Even more than W, which may be one of the only good qualities about the former POTUS.

This guy has around 4 houses, and pays taxes on one of them. And even that is suspect. Yet this lady still, still, sticks up for the cat.

She is not really saying that he is clean, but reminding us plebes that an aide said that...

"The speaker is totally behind him, and she told him that the last few times they have spoken."

There are sure to be implications from the right. But I am too tired to look for them. But the article mentions that the Hammer also came under fire, with no calling the pot black then by them. When I'm sure that this type of thing was going on.

Point is, reminding you of my former post, that they all do this. Conveniently forgetting when one side does it, but forcefully reminding us when the other side does the same.

The right cries about the size of government now, but had no problem with it a year ago, when it was larger than it ever had been. The left cries about needless wars now, but has no problem when more men are sent to the Middle East, to try to stop the "needless war".

Evreyone Loves Sheep

This is one of the most bizarre political ads I have ever seen. I think that it is a rep v. a rep too. How much did it cost?

And what difference does it make in California?

Simple Question

I don't know the answer. But is this a good thing? I mean, they can't work, so they can't dig a deeper hole. In other news...If this much snow fell here, would it be a big deal?

Really?

Look man, I will be the first person to say the new POTUS has some issues. But I will also say that he has done some things that the Cowboy didnt. But handing out lab coats to doctors who have dressed for the occasion isnt one of them. Foreign policy gets tough when you cant manage your house.

Extreme Much?

I came across this one this morning. Basically, he is saying that the news media would be vilifying the current Pres if he was a member of the GOP. In theory, to me, this is a good idea. The problem I have with this article however is that it takes all of the wack job, non-run-of-the-mill democrats and uses them as proof. Keith Oberman and Chris Mathews do not, I would like to believe, make up the majority of the party. Just like the Factor and Limbaugh dont necessarily make up the majority of the right. I am sure, given the ambition, I could try and fail to find some examples of the gentler sides of the political spectrum. Unfortunately, there is a ball game on.

Speaking of politics, did you chumps watch the thing with the Pres on TV last night? All was going well until the dude fron the NYT asked that lame ass hippie question about being enchanted. I am sure that they could have found a better journalist to ask a better question than that. Shit, hearing about his new dog would have been better.

Then there is this guy. Whatever gets you reelected to the same money grubbing mongrels that you associate with I guess. I blogged about this dude before. Yet another one trying to cling to his granted authority. Like I said. Whatever works pal.

The Truth Comes Out

Looking past the possible payroll implications, it looks like the pretty pretty princess of the last 8 years is having elbow surgery. I guess thats why no one was taking any kind of serious look at him as a FA over the past 2 weeks. The post implies that the Brewers will most likely be on the hook, paying for yet more medical treatment for the Sheeter. Unless of course some other team signs him. I wouldnt bet on it. It looks like this may be the nail in the proverbial coffin that, while not career ending, limits his chances of having a job by the end of spring training, much less the middle of the season. Good luck to you Benny, and it looks like it was a good thing you gave a big "fuck you" to an arbitration hearing. Offtopic: The POTUS's Press Secretary looks like more of a nob than Scooter McClellan.

Puppy Dogs and Ice Cream

I can remain silent no longer. On a day when the Arizona Cardinals are going to the big dance, I am looking for some real news. According to the local daily, this is what I need to care about right now. I understand that this is an historic event. A black president is certainly a big deal. But, as usual, Muntaba hits the nail on the head. Even the pariah that is W did not spend this much money on an inauguration. My country is in an economic boondoggle and this is the solution? But I digress.

This one was the thing that caught my eye.

We have been absolutely swamped since the election with people desiring rejuvenation procedures for the upcoming inauguration

Wait one second as the needle scrapes along the record. You are trying to look good for an event that happens once every four years, and you are using body altering procedures to do so? For an event where no one will notice you? Out of hundreds of thousands of people.

"My motivation is to look the very best I can for such a historical event. I've flown in to D.C. from California for this," says Lynch, who will attend the swearing-in ceremony as well as a black-tie ball with her husband.Lynch says she stopped by Sundaram's office this weekend for cosmetic treatment, which included Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers.(emphasis mine)

What? Acid? In your skin? For a one day event? OK, so you are going to a ball with your $3000 dress and your $500 skin treatment. I get it, you are trying to tell all of us little people that we are not nearly as cool as you. Will the new Pres. even be there? Is he going to kiss your acid infused hand? And if he is, why not look your best right?

But I digress once again. I guess my beef with the whole deal is that we as a country are spending a shit-ton of money to help the failed institutions that made us rich. And there is this event that happens a lot. And the amount of money being spent on this one night party, despite all of the problems we have, is terrible. Not to mention the fact that there is constant coverage 2 days before the fact. I did not vote for either of the two people, but I voted so I feel like I have the right to bitch. Why not put all of this seemingly endless money into something that helps the situation we are in as a country? Or give it to me. I probably could think of a lot of things to spend it on that are better than a one day event that happens once every 4 years. Like a new TV, because mine is shitty.

I apologise for complaining. You can now return to your regularly scheduled hippie love fest.

What?

So I Understand that come January, there will be a new cop on the beat. I get it. He wasnt my guy, and neither was the other one whom I did not vote for. But this is what the JSonline has on their page right now. I dont know if it will be there when you read this, but it was the lead story at 10:38pm this evening. Really? You are reporting that the man is buying his daughters a puppy? Do you want me to get you a puppy? You dont want to know how I get it, but I can get you a puppy.

Are there not more important things to talk about? Fucking Disney people. Ill say it again. Fucking Disney people. Wasting time on Whitehouse pets when Disney is losing money really pisses me off. What will all the kids do when there is no more Mr Toads WIld Ride? See how pissed this kid is?Sorry for the size of the picture. They, blogger, did not let me make it smaller.

Aint Technology Great?

Debatalicious

So I was all in to it a while back. Now...not so much. One walks around dodging questions, and one hobbles around dodging questions. This is not debate. Debate is when 2 people talk to each other in a civilized manor and each give their respective thoughts. Not to mention that the moderator was more concerned keeping time. There is more sniping than real thought. There is nothing that they said that was new, exciting, and maybe just once for once real. Every word out of their mouths was "he did this." There was no "Hey man, why did you do these things?" Mostly because the moderator was once again more concerned with time. The news networks? Totally different. This tells me that their was no winner. I am American, I only care about winners. The last question was probably the best one. Both showed that they are good orators, but which one said anything? Rhetorical Questions are good for these types of things. They both give the same answer. Neither is the answer. Put it this way. I dont want to pay for other peoples debt and loss based on poor decisions. And I dont want to pay for other peoples poor choices when they have kids at 15, or once again poor decisions. Is there a middle to that question? Some sort of idea that applies to both? No sir. Everybody screws up, and I should not be responsible for all of them. Everybody has skellies. Again, no sir. Both of these guys want me to do that. To do both. If presidential politics always drifts to the middle, they are doing a good job of not letting that happen. At least there is always garbage.

Stay Classy Beer Town

No, this is not about the Fonze. This is about a city govt. drunk with power. How do you take away an old, mentally unstable guys house? For a untagged van in his driveway? Or to be more clear, his own property. If I owned a home, you can bet that there would be all manner of old household appliances on the front lawn. If only so I can break them more. This is worse than the girl who was arrested for not paying a library fine, though she probably is more aloof to the damage than this old guy. Why not worry about rampant crime, failing schools, or even the noise pollution that will infect the city this weekend. All more important than a $50 parking ticket that probably should not have been issued in the first place.

The Social Security Administration has deemed Tubic mentally and physically disabled since 2001. He has a host of physical diseases and a personality disorder that limits his cognitive functioning, according to documents from the administration.

Wasting Breath

For fucks sake, leave the guy alone, I hate wikipedia, but it is easier than working for links. Every guy in his position does some things to do a bit of difference. He is a veteran in the house. More shit from the media. Use your brain and write something good. As an "insider", you have to have better than this. Work for your job for fucks sake. I cant say enough about the stupidity. Someday, we all will need something to cure this horrible affliction, but make your money writing about meaningful things.

“When he had darker hair it was pretty obvious, he had larger plugs,” said Dr. Michael Beehner, medical director of the Saratoga Hair Transplant Center in New York. “With the lightening of his hair, it looks much, much better now.”

And this is important because.....? Shit if Golem was going to be the running mate, and he is a better option than both POTUS nominees...being all goal oriented and such, I do not care about his hair. Use the fancy degree from somewhere to write good shit. And this is what I am reduced to. You are wasting my use of the Internets.

These are the Things I Read About?

Pardon the language meter...What the fuck in the name of the Sweet Zombie Jesus is this??? Yes...Everyone wants to be the everyman candidate but come on.

"Sometimes I win the arm wrestling contest, but foolishly she continues to try to assert her control over the remote," McCain said. "This is a battle that will continue for a long time."

Like what? Until you have forgotten what that thingy with all of the buttons is? Is this what the random bon bon eating housewives across America want to hear about? For fucks sake, most people have made up their minds by now anyhow. Why not put out a fluff piece about TV habits.

He said his television is usually tuned to HGTV, the home and garden cable network, "and I suffer that silently."

Jesus fucking Mary and Joseph get a head on your shoulders. You are running for pres man, assert your god damn dominance. What is it with these people?
First they spend weeks pissing and moaning about the noodle armed retiree who is on the front page when there is a fucking war on, and now this? Get some spine...ask the good questions...get some real answers...make it easier for those of us who have not for fuck sake decided yet!!! How do you people expect me to exercise the franchise with this drivel? At this point, I sure as shit am not voting for your candidate of choice, and sure as heck fire am not voting for the paper candidate from the other side...TELL ME WHAT TO THINK assholes! Gilligan it is then.

The Internets Make Me Happy to be Alive

With the recent spat over this campaign video...

We get this from one of the celebs it it...

And in another video...I dont care where you sit, everyone loves a good light-sabre fight.

In a side note, technology also gets a tip of the hat for allowing normal people to put light-sabres into their home movies.

Since I Cannot Form My Own Opinion

Recently, the blogfather had this to say about the recent dust up over the New Yorker cover. Wasnt there a Seinfeld where Elaine does something for that magazine? And the whole time, George and Jerry are saying that the cartoons are never funny because they make no sense? I guess I sort of thought that same way about the cover. My thoughts were pretty solidified as I read this article on my lunch break(all day) in the office today. Though that website tends to sway to the right hand side of the dial, it is a pretty good piece. You have to get a bit down the page before it starts to get good. You know, there is the usual lefty bashing, and a reference to facists at the end, but there is this quote...

In any case, those about whom the outraged presumably are most concerned are: (1) unlikely to pick up a New Yorker; (2) unlikely to be swayed or disabused of their preconceptions. So what exactly are they worried about?...
That yahoos just passing by a newsstand will see those images and have their paranoid suspicions confirmed?

Yes, Ill admit that it is a bit racist, and upon first glance, plays on all of the aformentioned fears. But come on, the guy doesnt wear a flag pin...just kidding. It is safe to assume that they would publish a cover with McCain curled up in his cell in the Hanoi Hilton being fed a plate of viagra with his cellmate the offshore oil rig. In which case, we would hear the same whining and crying from the so-called intellectual elite in this article, except it would be from the other side. In all, I guess I am not smart enough to get the satire in the cover, but that doesnt mean that it isnt funny to smart people. This lady seems to think that if we start to become outraged at any attempt at humor that we dont get, that is even more frightening. I mean, what is safe humor? I know that "man getting hit in the nuts with football" is funny on many different levels, but getting angry at any type of humor that is insulting to anyone?? Look at South Park. That show has to be catching, if it hasnt already, some of the longest running shows on TV. And they routinly rail on everything. If that is the way it is going to be, I may as well take my toaster in the bath right now.

So as I was Saying

I have been telling this to you people for a while now. But a good one nonetheless. A good article anyway...

More Fun With Politics

This from the Onion. Make sure to read the published date.

Todd Tyler,
Systems Analyst
"She's got a good shot, so long as no one blows her up, causing her faceplate to fall off and revealing the gears and diodes beneath."

I like the robot reference.

SO here is the Question...

While listening to the traffic and weather together this morning on the way to work, I heard an ad for a program that posed this question...

Which of the three candidates would you like to go to a ball game with? This is what I thought.

Clinton: Dont think so, though my mind is clouded with a crazy personal bias against her. Thats about it for that. I just dont think that I could tolerate sitting next to her for 3 hours. I cant think of another reason. Maybe if she brought Bill, he could give me some tips on womanizing?

McCain: He may have some insight into the historic game between the Boston Beaneaters and the New York Knockerbockers, in 1883...Either way, I bet he has some good baseball stories from the golden age of Mantle and Marris. He may be a good time, I just dont want to bring my heart attack paddles along, as they may not let me in with them.

Barry: I bet in his younger days, he could put down 5 brats and a twelve pack before the gates opened, so he might be fun. He did serve in the IL legislature though, and I cant think of the lesser of the two evils, the Sox and Cubs. He could however tell me that he hoped that Sammy would hit a ball to him one day, and how Sosa and MacGuire changed baseball forever.

Either way, it is Primary day here in 'Sconi, so remember to go out and exercise the franchise.
