Against all common sense, the President of the U.S. goes against a talk show host of all things! Rush Limbaugh fights back. Obama…he's got big problems with a stimulus package which stimulates nothing but the Democratic party big donors. We are not fooled.
Meanwhile the Republicans nominated a fine African-American to lead its party so watch the GOP move. Last week they voted en masse against that stimulus joke...now this.
And the REAL cause of that airplane wreck on the Potomac. We've got pics of the culprits.
Pic of the Day
The President Goes After a Talk Show Host
I love Rush Limbaugh, yes I do, and I would break sound barriers to hear his show each and every time a new one airs. But I certainly understand that he’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
In fact, when husband was in an upstate hospital over an hour’s drive away, and his mother and I drove the route every day for over a week, I didn’t even turn Rush on in deference to my mother-in-law, whose political views are far more moderate than Rush, or me for that matter.
Point is people like me listen to Rush and I daresay most of us don’t ram him down the throats of others. Rush Limbaugh is a private matter to me, an entertainer of politics, an expert on political discourse, a man of talent and the wonderful ability to get his point across via humor and words.
Hell I don’t even write about Rush all that much on this Blog.
I will never understand what the hell is with President Obama getting all in a snit over Rush. First the notion of the President of the United States attacking a private citizen totally unnerves me. What’s to keep him from going after this humble Blogger next?
I’d also suggest that what if, just saying, some nut got it into their head that Rush Limbaugh, this fellow who so enrages the Messiah, needs to be, ah, eliminated? What would such a scenario do to this Republic? The President attacks a pop culture figure who uses our constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech and boom, this same guy ends up dead.
I think it’s in really bad form for Obama to do this. Even Bill Clinton, who Rush excoriated every day, learned not to go after this talk radio nemesis. Obama is, I understand, new and fresh to the mighty office of the presidency but he needs to get some class and yield to this country’s mighty decorum that allows the opposition to have its say.
I’d say this even if Rush was a mighty liberal and a conservative President was going after him.
It’s just a plain bad idea.
Remember I said it here first.
Congrats to the House Republicans
Congressional Republicans love the tanning booth. They also have perfectly polished fingernails and head hairs that always stay in their appointed places. They adore the D.C. cocktail circuit and they love the glare of the cameras.
Sometimes, no often, they forget what their mission in life is. The GOP Lords in America’s House of Lords, AKA the Senate, are known world wide for this.
So that “stimulus” package the Democrats came up with became the laughing stock of the world. We had Nancy Pelosi getting money for condoms for her constituency, who don’t use the things at any rate. We had money for sod on the mall, money for Biden’s precious Amtrak, money for every boondoggle across the fruited plains and very little for any sort of stimulus please. The Dems must stop peeing upon our feet and telling us it’s raining.
Every one of the House Republicans, including my own RINO (Republican in Name Only) Mike Castle, voted against that joke on us peons out here in la-la land who carry this country on our backs whilst raising the soldiers and citizens of tomorrow.
Next week the Senate shall vote for this joke. Let us all pause and see if the GOP Lords in the Senate risk mussing their head hairs and vote against the thing.
Scuttlebutt has it that even famous “moderate” John McCain says he won’t vote for the thing.
President Obama said he wanted the pubs to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh and pass his stimulus package.
The pubs told Obama to stuff it. Obama doesn’t need the pubs to pass that thing. He just wants a couple of pubs to vote for it so that sometime in the future, when the damn thing doesn’t stimulate a thing much less the economy, liberals can go on the pundit talk shows and shrill that this pub or that pub voted for it too.
I’m proud of the GOP in the House for not voting for a joke that is naught but political payoff for those who helped Obama get elected.
Let’s see how the Lords in the Senate do.
Those Carter Years and the Liberal Lies About Them
I shall scream if I hear on more liar state that this is the worst economy since the depression.
It is not. The years when Jimmy Carter was President were the worst. I lived through them and they were hell. Today does not even compare.
Jimmy Carter post, with pics of how it REALLY was.
There were gas lines that took hours of time to sit in. We couldn’t put up Christmas lights. Unemployment was in the double digits. Interest rates were up in the high teens,; buying a house was almost impossible.
All this while Jimmy Carter gave self-righteous speeches about the “malaise” of the American people, a malaise that was HIS damn fault.
Oh, and Iran, yeah the same ones building nukes today, kidnapped a bunch of Americans at our American embassy in Iran and held them up until the day of Ronald Reagan’s inauguration. Nothing will give you malaise like knowing other rogue countries can, boom, take your citizens and thumb their nose at us for over a year while that loser of a President does nothing about it.
Heh. Once again the Dems think we were all born yesterday. They lie with no issue.
I don’t know how they sleep at night.
Congrats to Michael Steele
He’s personable, he speaks well, he was Leut-Governor of my birth state of Merryland. Congrats to Michael Steele, the new chairman of the Republican party.
Tax on Disability Pay
So I finally get through the grueling process of obtaining social security disability. The checks come in.
I get a notice that, by a calculation , I must figure out of my benefits are taxable.
Wait a minute!
I don’t think my money is going to make the taxable amount but half of SS benefits when added to my husband’s pay that exceed, get this $32,000 a year, are taxable!
Hold on.
The Secretary of the Treasury, he “forgets” to pay his taxes. Tom Daschle, former Senate Majority Leader who got booted out by his own constituents, he “forgets” to pay his taxes.
President Obama promises that anyone making under $250,000 will get a tax break. And here I have to pay taxes on my pitiful social security disability money the year I had open heart surgery and my husband had a brain infection?
Read my words again, folks. It ain’t right, it just ain’t right.

My Thoughts Blog
TOP FIVE AND IT GETS INTERESTING
Top Five:
Naomi
Molly
Stephanie
Melissa
Jillian
These pseudo-reality shows have to work at creating some drama and it’s often (mostly) scripted. In fact, I’m betting that in this particular series the bachelor fellow, or bachelorette, pretty much hones in on his or her choice soon after he or she meets them. The rest of the series is scripted to end up with a finale featuring this choice.
Which is not to say that the bachelor’s, or bachelorette’s, choice for their “wife” or “husband” will actually end up with either title. Actually, few of a bachelor or bachelorette’s choices result in a wedding of any kind.
Last season’s bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas, has announced already that she and her chosen love, Jessie the snowboarder, are no longer engaged.
I saw some sort of promo blurb by DeAnna. She said, to the effect, that she and Jessie are very different and while Jessie is a very nice fellow and she has deep affection for him, their lives will never meld. I paraphrase.
Well, duh. The whole purpose of the show was for DeAnna to figure out who the hell she would meld with. She should have asked me. I’d have told her that a guy who makes a living riding a snowboard is not a good choice.
DeAnna’s claim to fame was being thoroughly rejected by Brad Womack, that worm who led her on through a whole season of the Bachelor before finally deciding that NONE of the ladies as offered on the series, including DeAnna who was the only one left, met his exacting requirements.
DeAnna goes on through to an actual engagement before deciding what any fool from afar could see. Her choice, Jessie, was more of an intrigue than a more conventional gal like DeAnna would choose. Besides, I heard DeAnna has a show on Lifetime or some such. I wish her luck, why not?
So the Bachelor episode aired on 1/26/09 featured a most interesting “2 on 1” date featuring Bachelor Jason, widow Stephanie and Nikki. I’ve always considered Nikki the most beautiful of all the contenders for Jason’s heart this season. She seems to have some sort of personality problem, however, as she gets on a topic and drills the subject into the ground. After that, utter silence.
The Bachelor must send home one of his dates on these 2 on 1 dates. Thus during the entire “date”, one of the girls will get a rose. The other will get unceremoniously escorted to the awaiting limousine, never to return to the house with all the contenders again, not even to bid goodbye.
Jason sent Nikki home which was no surprise. Widow Stephanie has been
scripted big in this year’s series. Yon readers would deduce that she’s going to be a real player for Jason’s heart.
And yet, yon readers, why on earth has Stephanie not, as of this writing, kissed Jason with any passion? On one episode she gave him five kind of poetic, symbolic types of kisses, softly on each cheek, his forehead…like that. Her lips just brushed his during that weird makeout session. Stephanie did not kiss Jason on that 2 on 1 date but one must allow that two ladies, one guy, does not an atmosphere for passionate kisses make. However, Stephanie did say, during an on-camera vignette, that she “can’t wait till “the kiss”, whatever that means.
Is this scripted to kind of lead up to one big dramatic scene that will finally have Jason and Stephanie lock lips in a grand moment that would leave violins weeping and trumpets blaring? They do this kind of thing on TV shows and Lifetime movies. The viewer, usually females, much like myself and others who watch The Bachelor, know that the male and female protagonist really love each other. The drama is awaiting that magical moment when it will finally happen, when they both knew what us viewers knew right along.
Since this is a reality series hints must be dropped as to possible “good” or “bad” points for each contender. Megan first argued with Erica to give the viewer the idea that these two ladies have nasty streaks. Natalie gave hints that she was narcissistic so we would be of good cheer when Jason sent her packing. It’s been hinted on several occasions, by Jason himself in fact, that it could be that while Stephanie’s a good mother and most personable, perhaps there is lacking a passion between them. Jason’s not driven to “get it on” with Stephanie, in other words.
The episode aired 1.26.09 was supposed to end with only three contenders sent home. One would be, as is the drill, one of the ladies on the 2 on 1 date. Two would be denied roses during the rose ceremony. This would leave six ladies left to vie for Jason’s heart.
It was scripted for Jason to give out six roses, as the viewer would expect. Ostensibly he refused to give out six roses as one of the roses would have to be given to a contender for whom he had no intention of continuing any lasting relationship. Us viewers are to be impressed by Jason’s chivalry in refusing to lead on a lady who had no chance.
Myself suspects that this series might be dragging a bit slower and it needed the boost of a more rounded and hype-ready TOP FIVE to move it along.
Thus a scripted ending to the infamous rose ceremony and the elimination of one show. Just a hunch.
Below, a video montage of Jason’s REAL skill.
