George loves mary jane?

Jimmy Carter's brother Billy liked beer. According to this article, Barack's brother likes marijuana 'cept it is an illegal substance Kenya and George Obama got busted.

<Cut to the White House>

"HQ to PR room, HQ to PR room! Give me a full damage report on this CNN article about George and the mary jane."
"HQ to damage control, HQ to damage control! Stand-by for action. Repeat, stand-by for action."

"We have CNN under control, sir."

"Great, now get to work on this LA times article"

Joe Biden, War Hawk.

Now, Joe Biden is hawking the war in Afghanistan. From the article...

...a leading scholar at a Washington neoconservative think tank called the Biden remarks an overdue recognition of reality.

Me, I call Biden's remarks "politics".

"young creative professional", but arrogant and stupid

Here we have:
Name: Darren Schwindaman, 25
Profession: Graphic designer
Location: Jackson, Miss.

He wrote a letter to BOTO.

What a shame he no longer qualifies for coverage under Mommy and Daddy's health plan. If you really are healthy, why not get the bare basics plan?

Darren goes on...

A public commitment from these government agencies to use local merchants and contractors would serve as a vote of confidence in our local business community.

Of course, that would probably lead to all kinds of corruption and cronyism from politicians and business people who went to grade school together. Not to mention the outcry from minority and rural businesses who deserve a shot at a lucrative government contract.

Furthermore, apparently people in Jackson Mississippi are desperate for people from San Franscico as Darren says:

My girlfriend is moving here from San Francisco, and she's worried about the economy. But I tell her she's smart and talented, and from San Francisco. People down here are desperate for that.

Honey, if you really are smart, you stay as far away from this guy as possible.

Darren continues...

I'm not feeling any cutback in business yet, and honestly that's because Jackson is so hungry for young, creative professionals.

Cool, the young, creative professionals are going to support us old creative professionals...

This was the second (and last) letter on the CNN website I read. It was painful and I could not take it anymore. If you read any of them, please comment here.

Not unexpected, but always sad when it happens...

MN senate race

What a mess they have in Minnesota. Penned here by MICHAEL STOKES PAULSEN

You would think people would learn. The recount in the contest between Norm Coleman and Al Franken for a seat in the U.S. Senate isn't just embarrassing. It is unconstitutional.

He concludes:

And what if there is no reliable way to determine in a recount who won, consistent with Bush v. Gore's requirements?

The Constitution's answer is a do-over.

Sounds like a good idea to me. We saw the voter's remorse in Georgia when Saxby Chambliss won in a landslide. This do-over would be a good measure of the sentement of the country considering what the new president is doing...

Campus snowball fight...

See what happens when you through a little snow in with some college students still drunk on the Obama presidency?

Kids who don't learn about snowballs from childhood end up arrested...another reason to fight global warming...or maybe we should promote it so nobody gets hurt by another snowball?

CAROLINE KENNEDY ENDS SENATE SEAT BID

Has Mrs. Schlossberg paid her dues to the Democrat party with this 'campaign loss'? Does she now have her sights on Uncle Ted's MA seat? It can't be long now.

UPDATE: This NYT article eludes to this...

The person told of her decision said that Ms. Kennedy’s concerns about the health of her uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who suffers from brain cancer and was hospitalized after suffering a seizure Tuesday, prompted her to withdraw.

Campaign promise?, what campaign promise?

This is interesting... it says in part:

not everything that we talked about during the campaign are we going to be able to do on the pace we had hoped

I would love to see Peggy Joseph's reaction to this...

Television 2009

We own a 15-1/2 year old, 27" television. It works great. I have no reason to upgrade it. Last night I briefly turned on the Texas vs. Ohio State game. Apparently, the folks broadcasting the game think everyone has a wide screen set. The graphic overlays were cut off on the left and right side of the screen. It was horrible. I am sure there are lots more poor people like me out there.

I have also heard that the money set aside for the $40 coupons for converting the new digital signals to work with older TVs is gone. I did not get one.

What am I going to do? Who is going to help me?

Have no fear, thank goodness for BOTO, because I am sure he will give me a new wide-screen TV (in addition to paying my mortgage and putting gas in my cars).



This is the American Dream!

Leon Panetta

So we have another Clinton retread in the new administration. We knew BOTO (Barack Obama, The One) had to sell his soul, but this is getting ridiculous...

...fade to fire-light illuminated figure holding pitchfork, laughing maniacally -- Bill Clinton.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year. Hope your year is healthy, happy and prosperous.
