A Few More Things

Okay... the model who wanted to be a newscaster. If you watch the bumbling locals where I live, you'll know that pretty much any trained chimp could do as well. I don't really care who reads the news. In fact, I'd love to find a way to take people out of the equation, because they all have their own agenda, they don't care about the news, they care how you react to what they tell you. CNN brags about it. But the way every news person talked the story down, it was no surprise the ratings were so bad. We were all told to hate it before it aired. It didn't fail because the girl couldn't do the job. Heck, the people at the station that hosted the show said she did great. She tried hard and brought a positive atitude and good work ethic. Its just that everyone who sits at a news desk like it's a throne, looking down his or her nose at us while they feed us vile propoganda doesn't want us to learn that any trained chimp can do their work. They want us to think that we need them. What a load of rubbish. And I hope the girl has a long career in front of her.... but in a job more respectable than news reading. 

 

 

Michael Vick has apologized... wow. I suppose now, you can kill dogs for profit and sadistic pleasure, and be forgiven. But don't think about posing nude on the internet. No forgiveness for you. If football weren't the dominant religion in this country (followed closely by the hunt for Britney, Nicole, and LIndsay), Vick would never again see the light of day. He's breathing good air that someone else could be breathing, and taking up space and food and water that would better serve someone who weren't the nasty gunk that pond scum can't even stand. Just you watch. He'll be back in uniform and paycheck as soon as possible, because he brings in money. People will take him back, because they have a short attention span (I pointed that out recently), and lawmakers (and judges) don't care about dead dogs.... because they neither pay taxes nor vote.

 

I am shocked! Shocked to find that people in Washington DC are fired for purely political reasons! How could they do this.... and we'll never ever forgive anyone who does it. I mean, no democrat ever fired anyone.... like the entire Whitehouse travel office, for political reasons.

 

 

And again... and again.... and again....

 

 

 

someone.... anyone... tell me how it is that Robert Novak isn't having legal issues over revealing a state secret on television. Valerie Plame. CIA agent. I mean, if it was wrong for Scooter to leak the name privately, why is it not wrong for Noval to do it publicly? I mean, it's not like he killed dogs. That he could be forgiven for. 

Did Anyone Notice?

In the recent midwest flooding, nobody went on television, begging for help, or saying that George Bush hates them, or it was someone else's fault.... in fact, all I saw was people pulling themselves up and getting back to work. But then, they didn't have a history and culture of corruption. And they haven't been told for decades that they can't do anything for themselves....


Just saying.....

Michael Vick is an animal

Michael Vick is a barbaric animal thug. He is a monster who isn't sorry for what he did. He's only sorry he got caught. I'll call him redeemed when he brings the first murdered dog back to life. And if he is ever allowed to play pro football (much less breath fresh air), I'll never watch another game, nor will I ever spend another cent on anything that has anything to do with or takes a dollar from, or gives a dollar to the NFL.... The fact that the NAACP defends this beast just demonstrates how they, like the ACLU, the labor unions, and the UN, have outlived their usefullness. He's an animal, and deserves no sense of happiness or fullfillment, or a good night's sleep again in his pathetic excuse for a life. And I dare anyone here  to defend him.

I've Quit The Republican Party Part One: The Middle East

I remember several years ago, hearing Rush Limbaugh talking about a trial
separation from the Republican Party. Whatever. I've quit. I've come to the
conclusion that neither party actually cares enough about the country and
the people to warrant my loyalty. Because really, is there any candidate out
there who can say that he or she cares more about actually fixing the
problems facing the country than they do about paying political debts or
just further enslaving the American people (and in fact the world, by
extension) just to build their own political power? No. Not that I've seen,
anyway. In fact, I would challenge you lurkers to make a case for any of the
current crop of republocrats. Of course, to start working on a solution, we
really have to start by identifying the problems. And since I don't want to
spend the next five years just doing that, I'll start with just one. The
Middle East. Well, first off, the solution to that is not to quit Iraq. The
growing success of the troop surge proves that we can help by staying there
and actually winning. History (and common sense) shows that politicians lose
wars. Military men and women win them. Liberals like to compare Iraq to
Vietnam, trying to convince the average person that it is unjust and
unwinnable, when in fact the real irony is that Iraq is similar to Vietnam
in a number of ways. It is a problem inherited from a former power making a
mistake, and then walking away. (Vietnam was a gift from France. The Middle
East, including Iraq, was carved up by a British General). The Vietnam war
was run by a Democratic Congress, where Iraq is being strongly influenced by
a Democratic Congress, but also bungled by short-sighted Republicans...
especially Don Rumsfeld. Military successes in Vietnam were largely ignored
by a hostile press, while failures and massacres were highlighted, just as
they are in Iraq. And just as real success was starting to happen in
Vietnam, the Viet Cong forced a propoganda victory with the Tet Offensive
(that in fact was devastating for them) that provided fuel for liberal
naysayers and defeatists to convince the American public that we'd lost, and
therefore sap the last of the political courage of the White House and force
a withdrawal. Now we have Democrats admitting that success in Iraq would be
bad news for their party. Liberals didn't want us to win in Vietnam, so they
forced a defeat. Now they admit that they don't want us to win in Iraq, and
they're trying to force a defeat there as well.

At the same time, Conservatives from Bush down were eager to go in and have
a quick and easy victory in Iraq... for some good reasons. I understand that
Bush imagined Iran being squeezed in between two strong new democracies in
Iraq and Afghanistan. He also knew that Saddam Hussein was a murderous thug
with ambitions involving Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical warfare. That is
a fact that simply cannot be disputed. If you see a man gun down his family,
do you leave him alone just because he's out of bullets? No. He was a killer
who needed to die. But in doing so, they totally blew what was a fairly
stable situation. Iran hated Iraq. Iraq hated Iran. For the most part, that
kept both sides pretty occupied. There is that bit of wisdom that says when
you see your enemy making a mistake, get out of his way. As it is, the
Taliban are trying to make a comeback in Afghanistan, and Iran is working
under the counter in Iraq and Lebanon. And they are pushing ahead with their
nuclear program. So what do we do? We quietly, without telling the damn
press, or the damn congress, tell the Iraqi government that they don't get
anymore holidays. They need to find any damn way they can to agree upon and
impose a set of laws to stabilize their country. And then set a date.
SECRETLY!!!. Tell them that they won't have our help to fix their damn
country forever. Tell them that if they publicize the date, we'll walk, and
just police from the air. If you want our soldiers to bleed to buy you time,
you stop going on vacation, and impose (at gunpoint if need be) order on
your country. Get it done. Use the help we're giving, or we'll leave. And
then we give the military the objective and let them figure out how to do
it.

Then what? Finally, acknowledge that as scummy as the Saudi government is,
they can be convinced to work in our favor. We don't have a more important
ally over there. Not a friend, mind you, but an ally. They're dictators and
thugs, and most of the 9/11 hijackers came from there. But they also have an
influence on the price and steady flow of oil, and right now we need that.
Anyone (like Barack Obama) who thinks he can govern without dealing with
dictators who happen to have an interest in remaining allied with us is
stupid.

There is one more thing we can do to take away a lot of the power these
psychos have over the rest of the world. Devote the whole damn country to
getting us off of oil. Completely. Anything, including Ethanol, that still
uses oil is not good enough. The only weapon that can really make any
lasting difference in the Middle East is economics. Make the oil
meaningless, and they lose most of the hold they have on the world. Then if
they want to hack each other to pieces, well, let them.

Big words, and I'm just a guy with a Blog. I don't have a political career
to think about, or votes to buy, or lobbyists to satisfy. Sadly, none of the
Republocrats can say that. Democrats want to run every aspect of your life
(because they need you to believe that you can't live without them), and
Republicans are far too hostage to the most radical right wing of the
conservative movement to do the country any good (you need moderate common
sense to do that). Both sides have shown that they will say anything to get
a vote. So none of them will get mine.

So... what are the girls up to? Britney Spears. Lindsay Lohan. Nicole
Ritchie. I don't know, and I don't care. Barry Bonds isn't important. Rosie
O'Donnell doesn't seem to have a career anymore. Oh, and Rush Hour 3 took
the top spot in the box office.

USA Riddled With ADD!!

I was going to say that the whole world is riddled with ADD, but quite
honestly, do you think that in any other country in the world, less than six
years after a horrendous attack on their soil they would even question
whether or not they were at war? I don't. Democratic presidential hopeful
John Edwards thinks that the war that was declared in 1993 (remember, they
tried to bring down the World Trade Center once before) is nothing more than
a political bumper sticker slogan. I guess he didn't know (or know about, or
care about) any of the 3,000 people who were killed on 9/11. Fine... but
don't try to run my country. Maybe he's counting on the fact that while
radical Islam is alive and well in the heart of America (Hezbollah openly
rallies in Dearborn, Michigan, and who objects?), most people here don't
seem to care, because it's got nothing to do with Britney, Lindsay, Nicole,
or Harry Potter. Sounds like a case of mass Attention Deficit Disorder. Only
thing is, if Joe and Jane Public had nothing but typical clinical ADD, we
could give them a shot of Ritalin, and they'd be fine. But what they've got
is far worse. They've got an attention span that doesn't last more than an
hour. They've forgotten 1993. They've forgotten 9/11. They've forgotten Iran
attacking our embassy. (Ahmadenijad has been recognized as one of the
'students' who took those hostages). They've forgotten Iran's pledge to wipe
us out. They've forgotten that Al Qaeda has killed countless Americans, as
well as free citizens all over the world. They even tell us that they're
planning another. Maybe if Bin Laden or Al Zawahiri posted on youtube,
people would care. Maybe if they produced greenhouse gases, we could get
Sheryl Crow and George Clooney to join the war. But no. It's just a bumper
sticker. And an old one at that. So tell me something. When the next bumper
sticker shows up in the form of a dirty bomb, say in Los Angeles, will it be
an issue again? I suppose that depends on what Britney Spears is up to that
week.

Don't think, by the way, that I blame Britney for distracting us from the
war. I think she's no more or less important than anyone else, and I think
that if it weren't for her and her peers, the paparazzi would actually have
to work for a living. Most of the trash magazines (Us, Life and Style, and
so on) wouldn't exist, and we'd have a few more trees to produce oxygen. And
the vampires at TMZ might just shut down. So yeah, these girls are obviously
attracting the attention of the blood-suckers I've named, but they still
have the choice to print their rubbish or not. You know, if a rapist says
"she was asking for it", we rightly condemn them. If a scandal rag says the
same thing, we agree, and buy up their filth like its going out of style.

What has one thing got to do with the other? 3,000 people get slaughtered by
an enemy who promises to do more and we call it a bumper sticker. A girl
gets drunk, and we splash it all over the front page and ask ourselves "How
could this happen?". As a people, we've got a pitiful attention span. We are
riddled with ADD on a mass scale, and odds are it'll take another massacre
on our soil before we remember we're at war.
