Please, Jesus, Save Me from Myself!

The Delusional calling on a “god” to stop the delusion. The Ouroboros is eating it’s tail again.

"Televangelist Pat Robertson is praying for God to end “the spirit of delusion” that is making people think that Joe Biden won the election. “In the name of Jesus, I bind the … View the article. https://flip.it/4IzrX7"

Since Yahoo has relegated comments to the courtyard of creepy churches, I begin to rant again.

What They Found

I try to throw in the towel and it circulates back to hit me in the face. What kind of a dirty boomerang is it what a little locker room talk and towel snaps leads to the last four years of my life? Strange but true. . . that just happened and continues on without a single bullshit detector going off in the entire republican party sycophants. The biggest baby of my lifetime continues to open his mouth and no-one bothers to shove a binky in it to shut him up??!! Snowflake calling snowflakes melty . . . mein gott!

Another Average Joe

Of course it was racially fueled. Would anyone treat a white President with the same disdain and disrespect? Nope! But, it's OK since O is black.

How many times did the Southern whites try to say "Boy" or "Uncle" was really a moniker of respect?

Couch your own damn lies.

And, PS Mr Wilson, if you are going to call someone a liar it should at least be founded in some sort of relationship to reality.

No Tact

Jenn and I just got a call from someone inviting us to their kid’s 3rd birthday party.

On first glance cool! Ahh but wait!

They didn’t just want us to come to celebrate the kid’s birthday they wanted us to bring gifts; but not just any gifts – they registered for gifts.

What the F^@k!?

What does a 3 year old need or is really going to remember that requires registering? Parents; that’s about it. They sure as hell don’t need a $300 inflatable bouncy toy from FAO Schwarz that their greedy ass mom and dad want them to have to outshine the Jones’ next door.

If they want their kids to have gold plated Thomas the Tank Engine toys they need to go out and get it themselves not expect the rest of us to support their sense of narcissistic entitlement.

What’s next? Am I going to get an invitation to their spoiled kid’s back to school party where I am asked to bring book bags, pencils and 500 dollar outfits to bolster that fragile little ego so her cheap ass parents don’t have to do anything but sit back and rake in the goods?

Jerks on Patrol

How are you being anything other than a huge asshole by showing up outside a presidential event carrying a gun?

If the event is about health care and has nothing to do with gun control or the NRA what point would you be trying to make?

These halfwit twirps are basically doing the sibling taunt. . . “I’m not touching you! Hey! Hey! I’m not touching you. I’m still not touching you. . .” Except with guns; “I’m still not shooting you!”

Have we really reached the point where there is no decorum or common sense anymore?

Guns over Arizona

Calling the Kettle White

I am not one to buy into conspiracy theories but here is one I can wrap my head around: The ultra nationalist conservatives and Fundies (read - Limbaugh fans and watchers of Fox news)have organized a concerted effort to deify Bush in order to make the last 8 years look like anything other than a complete disaster.

Cheney says that Bush stopped taking his advice during the second term. Since Cheney is 3rd in line for biggest jerk in the world he is taking a similar stance to Bill Clinton when Gore was running for president. He distances himself to make the other guy look better. Less guilt by less association. In the end a poor leader is still a poor leader no matter how many times the real man in charge says he isn’t.

And since I am still wound up about moronic behavior: Since when is yelling at people a constructive form of argument or debate? Maybe we don’t need as much health care reform as we need education reform, because we sure seem to have a lot of numbskulls in the US.

"It's Amurhi-kkk-a muther f^@&er, not Comunissmika"

I really have no response to that!

Your Money's Worth

I like sports more than others but probably not as much as most. My big issue is represented by the following headlines from the world of hockey:

Rangers ink Gaborik for 5 years, $37.5M (AP)
'Hawks sign F Hossa for 12 years, $62.8M (AP)
Oilers give Khabibulin $15M over 4 years (AP)

• The world is in a recession
• The US unemployment figures are now at 9.5%
• People in general are making more cuts and putting up with smaller salaries in order to have a job at all

These sports figures (from one of the lesser paid sports) and other celebrities rake in millions upon millions per year. Is being entertained really worth that to us?

On a similar note, the oil industry has spent in excess of $80 million in the past 6 months to lobby the legislature to decrease their tax burden. They could have paid their taxes and helped out the rest of us for less than that.

Both issues come down to priorities, I guess.

Moral Superiority

In the News:

-Senator John Ensign (R. NV) admitted to having an affair with a married staffer from 2007 to 20008. Esign is married and has three children. He and his wife, Darlene, were active participants and promoters of "Promise Keepers", a Christian evangelical ministry that promotes strong families and marriages.
Ensign took a two-week leave of absence from the Senate back in 2002 to deal with the fallout from another extramarital affair and is rumored to have been caught by his wife a third time as well.

-Gov. Mark Sanford (R. SC) said Wednesday (June 24) he had been "unfaithful to my wife" during a secret trip to Argentina.

-Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich acknowledged in an interview (March 08, 2007) with a conservative Christian group that he was having an extramarital affair even as he led the charge against President Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair.

A tiny fraction of other adulterers/politicians:

- John McCain
- John Edwards
- Larry Craig
- Eliot Spitzer
- Silvio Berlusconi
- Nicolas Sarkozy
- Bill Clinton

It is good to know that our leaders are out front providing us with good examples of how to behave. I know people aren't perfect but these jackasses. . .

Dewey Love America?

Damn Liberals!!! now it's the Dewey decimal system, but what's next to go? Free Market? Guns?

Stand up against these commies and socialists. Everyone, run don't walk down to Adams County and protest the loss of the best understood American system of bibliographic categorization.

Bye Bye Dewey

A Member of the Tolerance Team, That's Me!

I have a pretty low patience level for bad drivers. Making it worse are the ones that are driving like hell and their car is all dinged up. Throw a handicap sticker in the windshield and I am one dial mark from 11.

You drive like a moron, your car is beat and then you have to throw a sticker on your rearview mirror to advertise how you became handicapped in the first place!???

Excuses

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh police say a man wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire on officers during a domestic disturbance call, killing three of them. Friends said he recently had been upset about losing his job and that he feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns.

Yeah, we wouldn't want to take away some muderous dickhead's gun, now would we?

Critical Thinking

Opinion: A belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge

Just because you think something is true does not mean it is.

An acquaintance told me that she doesn't believe in global warming. "Why?" asked I. "Have you studied the Science? Are you a scientist? Can you explain and refute the theories behind it?"
"No", "no", and "no", were her responses. "I don't need to be an expert to have a valid opinion."

OK, I concede. Maybe you don't need to be an expert to have a valid opinion but being a complete ignoramus with little more than an idea based in some idealic fairy tale world isn't a good launching point toward a valid opinion.

What gives people the impression that their idea is a valid opinion when it is willfully uniformed and ignorant?

Sorry hombre you don't have a valid opinion; "smoke" and "ass" are probably better ways to describe what you've got.

Equal Representation

I should have a bigger problem with the death penalty; but I don’t. My real problem with the death penalty is that I think it should be more evenly distributed.

When some one kills or rapes they get (in many cases) the death penalty. OK. Those criminals destroyed 3-5 people’s lives, including the victim and the close relatives that deal with the after effects of the crime.

Bernard Ebbers, Ken Lay, Bernard Madoff, Robert Allen Stanford and their ilk have destroyed hundreds of thousands of poor people’s lives by stealing pension and retirement money, liquidating savings and assests, and that doesn’t even include the problems they have helped create in the world’s current economy.

How about a little death penalty for them? Can I get an Amen!?

Nah, they are white and wear suits slap ‘em on the wrist and send them back to their Manhattan penthouse suite.

Enhance This

Michael Phelps was suspended (sort of) for three month because someone took a picture of him with a "marijuana pipe" in his mouth.

Most folks can't get off the couch for anything other than Doritos after smoking up and this guy wins 8 Olympic medals?

Sheesh, imagine if he had been using performance enhancing drugs instead.

Clean up after Yourself

I briefly had a roommate that was a total pain and a huge slob. He would come in from work trash the place and leave a trail of destruction in his wake. If I said anything to him about his mess, he would get completely pissed and walk out saying, "Fine, you don't like it!?, you clean it up!"

Sound familiar? I think he was a Republican too.

This Just in

Dick Cheney attended today's inauguration in a wheelchair after hurting his back.

Apparently to show sufficient servility to his lord -the dark master, Lucifer- he pulled a muscle while bending over backward to do some of Satan's final bidding.

I certainly hope Dick doesn't "accidentally" fall down some stairs or get in a horrible car accident as the door swings shut on this administration's behind.

But It's OK If I Do It

Seriously Isreal, you feel the need to bomb the UN Headquarters? You guys sure know how to win friends and influence people.

Back in the Day

Well I have heard that things change when you have a baby and I for one would like to confirm this.

I used to be a staunch proponent of socialism but now, with our tough economic times, I say; "screw ya'll! Every man for himself! I got a baby to take care of and he don't feed himself."

I have had enough "change" bring back the status quo when everything was working just fine and plausible deniability made sure we were /NOT/ in a recession.

Ahh the good 'ol days, Remember how good they were?
