Plus, longest ear hair record, Michelle and Obama escape the boredom of the White House, and a peaceful Muslim who "removed" his wife's head.
Many more thoughts of the week, political, funny, sad and satirical.
Bachelor 09 Jason has two to choose from.
He has not met the parents of one and gives lackluster kisses to the other.
Could DeAnna really come back into his life?
All with pics and video you'll find nowhere else on the Internet.

Pic of the Day
President Obama Must Be So Proud
For one thing, he beat out Jesus in a recent poll:
Americans named President Obama as their No. 1 hero, followed by Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King, in a new Harris poll.
And he got his so-called “stimulation” package passed, kudos to him.
Finally, President Obama managed to drive the stock market down to below 7500, he must be so proud of himself.
This guy spent most of last week going out into the world, promising kitchens and better jobs than McDonald’s to promote his stimulus package. He talked down the economy so much that my ears began to burn. In my day leaders were the folks who cheered on the masses. To have a President using his bully pulpit to use the word “crisis” 24 times in a nationally televised speech just shocks me all to hell.
How about that mortgage relief package? Screw all of you who paid your mortgage on time. Screw my daughter, who didn’t go out and buy a house she couldn’t afford. Screw us all save the ones, including Obama’s lady friend who wanted him to give her a kitchen, who bought a house without a job, without the ability to pay for it, without naught but a wish and a prayer.
If you did the right thing, you get nothing.
All the deadbeats? They get a free house.
All hail Obama, our Messiah and Savior.
Speaking of Obama
So he and lovely first lady Michelle decide to celebrate Valentine’s Day. For this little snippet I had every intention of maybe giving the First Couple a pat on the back. Although by me they could have just as easily dined in D.C. and saved the cost of flying Air Force 1 to Chicago when this country’s in such an economic crisis, which The Messiah himself told us 24 times in a recent speech.
But I bent over backwards to stop jeering this guy who has done not one thing of worth so far as I can see and I have to say it now because he and his buddies in congress will soon be shutting me and all other dissenters down. So I thought, so okay, he and Michelle are setting an example for the sad state of the black family of this day.
For the vast majority of single mothers are black women and hey, if the First Couple can make a public display of the joys of love and couplehood, maybe those single mothers will start to demand that those babies’ daddy marry them and be a proper family.
Studies show that the crime rate, in proportion to the population, is the same amongst whites and blacks. Once you factor in the single parent household factor, the crime rate for blacks rises greatly. It would seem that fathers are very much needed to give children a well-rounded childhood. Duh.
But then Obama decides to give all the deadbeats in this country free houses so all bets are off. I think it was in the poorest of taste for Obama and Michelle to take off on a jet to Chicago just to have dinner out. They live in the damn White House for God’s sakes, with the best chefs in the world at their call. If they really just wanted a quiet evening alone why all the publicity, the photo-ops?
Oh, and you know the famous mother of the Octuplets? It would turn out that HER home is in default. So she’ll get a bail out too.
Quip of the Week
A wise, funny, thoughtful or all-of-the-above quick quip that shook my funny bone and required sharing with yon readers.
The originator could come from the most ordinary around me who carry this country on our backs whilst raising the citizens and solders of tomorrow. Or the source of the quip might be the celebrated or the political, but not likely.
There were two blessed days this past week. One had husband and I going to a doctor’s appointment that involved no human beings! Specifically the appointment was for the dog.
The discussions turned to different dogs and their level of viciousness by breed. This discussions came about because our own beloved hound, a Belgian Malinois, was attacked TWICE by two little dingbat breeds while she walked peacefully upon a public street. Both attacking dogs were loose and came out onto the street and attacked Jo-Ann, that was all properly leashed, haltered and tethered to her owner, which would be me.
One was a deranged cocker which lost an eyeball from the encounter. Come on folks, a cocker takes on a big Belgian Malinois, beloved dog of police departments across the fruited plains? The other dog was, you should smile, a freaking little Pomeranian. Well the Pom did live but it was touch and go for a while. Yeah, a Pomeranian takes on a Belgian Malinois, go figure that one.
The Vet remarks how cockers were, by his experience and hey, he is a Vet, a vicious kind of breed. Little dogs, he lamented, were often the worse. Daschunds, we all agreed, tended to be nasty little beasts, our own fine selves once owning one, a fine fellow but he’d show his teeth to anyone beyond his owners.
“Chihuahuas,” the Vet said, cautioning me not to put this on my Blog and tell no one he said it, “they’re like canine piranha.”
So don’t tell anyone I told you but this week’s Quip of the Week goes to my Vet for that picture I can’t get out of my mind of a tank full of Chihuahua piranhas.
Insert smirk here.
Record Holder for Longest Ear Hair
from the Telegraph:
We all should be famous for something.
You Might Be a Taliban If…
Playing up on Jeff Foxworthy’s famous joke:
1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to
beer.
2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you
can't afford shoes.
3. You have more wives than teeth.
4. You wipe your butt with your bare left hand, but consider bacon
'unclean.'
5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.
6. You can't think of anyone you HAVEN'T declared Jihad against.
7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives
in your clothing.
8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.
9. You've often uttered the phrase, 'I love what you've done with your cave.'
10. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least one.
11. You bathe at least monthly whether necessary or not.
12. You have a crush on your neighbor's goat.
Which remind me of my favorite song, inspired by President Obama’s pronunciation of the word TALIBAN…
“DAAAAAY-O
DAAAAAAAY-o
Come Mr. Taliban, tally me bananas…
Daylight come and me wanna go home”
Teaching How Peaceful Muslims Can Be
This story is horrific on so many levels. First, “Mo” (we wonder what that name is short for) Hassan and his wife started a TV stations known as “Bridges”. Its purpose was to teach us infidels how Muslim is such a peaceful religion.
Second, Aasiya had just obtained a protection order against ole Mo the Friday before he removed her head.
By the way, an AP report, AP being the newspaper of record for Islam in this country, couldn’t bear to report such an act as “decapitation” or “beheading”. Oh no. Those words, well they have a sort of violent edge to them. Instead AP publishes a picture of the couple, stating that this was Aasiya before the very fine and peaceful Mo “removed her head”.

Finally, Relief for Those Who Have Lost Their Socks
In last week’s “thoughts” post HERE, I lamented the disappearance, at the FIRST WASHING, of a brand new sock, part of a pair that cost me eleven bucks.
I apologized to my missing sock for any insult I may have given it.
A reader provided me with the following information. I had no idea there really was a Bureau for Missing Socks.
Jason Sends Canadian Packing. What About DeAnna?
I saw DeAnna Pappas on Access Hollywood. She was interviewed by Mario of “Dancing With the Stars” fame. She was very coy about what transpires between her and Jason in the upcoming episode of The Bachelor.
I suspect the reappearance of a contrite and regretful DeAnna, who chose snowboarder Jessie over the reserved and more conventional Jason in this past year’s “Bachelorette” series, to be a very scripted event. It’s the sort of story line that would appeal to us females who watch this show. If myself was Jason I’d slap DeAnna back to the caveman era and tell her to take her snowboard and go home. But-a)I am not Jason and b)I’m not even a man.
Of course Jessie was a bad choice but I don’t know, this show is so scripted that who knows whether the choice of Jessie was part of the script as DeAnna had no preference of the eligible males who were her choices, much like Brad Womack who rejected DeAnna as this whole saga began, or if DeAnna really lost her mind and chose a bowtie-wearing, snowboarding comedian over a serious provider like Jason.
In fact, the way I see how this series comes down, all of the contenders are introduced to the Bachelor/Bachelorette long before that premiere episode where they drive up in a limousine. The object of affection gets to know the contenders and comes up with a list, from best choice to worst choice. At this time a script writer comes in and working with the Bachelor(ette) uses his or her impressions of the contenders and writes a storyline that works on eliminating each contender, based on the aforementioned list, with a dramatic scene that captures the Bachelor(ette)’s impression of the contenders.
Likely Jason Mesnick thought that Megan and Erica were trouble-makers and were low on his “likely” list. Thus a storyline incorporating a feud between these two was scripted into the series. The script had Jason keeping Megan around way longer than anyone thought should be given her alleged nasty disposition. The viewer then sits in the TV bleachers across the fruited plains and lament that Jason doesn’t boot either Erica or Megan off…boot off BOTH so thinks the viewer, and interest in the program is maintained. The advertisers are happy that with each scripted drama, more viewers tune in.
It’s called capitalism, it’s mostly fiction, it takes our mind off of Obama, who is single-handedly destroying capitalism, he must be so proud of himself as the stock market falls with the joy of his inauguration and first days in office.
What’s interesting about this Bachelor series is how Jason constantly complains about not meeting Melissa’s parents, how important this is in order for him to establish a relationship with a firm future. Yet he keeps her around.
This is an interesting development. As I recall, Brad Womack actually allowed the show to contact DeAnna’s father before that series’ finale. Womack ended up refusing anyone offered during his stint as Bachelor, such was the quality of his fine self. But he had evidently considered DeAnna before backing out at the end, considered her so much as to allow the show to contact her parents.
Thus I must imagine that should Jason choose Melissa as his beloved one, and I think he will, that he can contact Melissa’s parents for the finale. Although Jason argues that he could not make any kind of commitment to Melissa without meeting her parents first.
I think this is scripted into the show. The viewer is sitting on pins and needles wondering if Jason will kick Melissa off for the refusal of her parents to meet with him. The script, as I envision it, will have Jason agreeing to marry Melissa IF her parents agree to meet with him. Melissa’s parents, now calm as their daughter is no longer a piece of meat on an auction block, will meet with Jason…AND the audience.
It’s a script that keeps viewer attention and that’s the plan.
As for this DeAnna thing…nothing to it as I argue. DeAnna didn’t want Jason when she was Bachelorette and she likely doesn’t want him now. In fact, I don’t think DeAnna ever wanted snowboarder Jessie, frankly. As I understand it DeAnna has her own Lifetime show and more than likely DeAnna is all for DeAnna.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Coming up, the Girls Tell All show and Jason’s folks get to meet Melissa and Molly.
This is one viewer who is still intrigued. But I know the script.
Heh.
Below, Jason speaks on his mind on the three finalists.
