I am always glad to see people sharing their thoughts here.Hopefully it will get more lurkers to get off the bench and get in the game.
I promise I will try not to be whiny,grumpy,cynical,depressing or bitchy….no guarantees
OK,CHRISSY:HERE’S THE STORY
When I was about 23 my sister and her roommate(cute,as I recall)decided to have a Halloween party.The caveat was men had to be dressed as women and vice versa.Frankly,I never wanted my vice versa.I wanted to use one of my mom’s dresses(she was a big woman) but she talked me into putting on one of my sister’s dresses.She borrowed a wig from her neighbor and gave me one of her bras with the…uh… ‘foam rubber enhancements’.I think they were called “falsies.” I put on a pair of sis’ pantyhose,but they only came up to the top of my thighs so I had to keep reaching down to yank them up.Why did people give me funny looks when I did that?I was driving a 1971 Barracuda with vinyl seats and tried driving without sitting all the way down because they were cold as hell.
There I was,smoking cigars and shooting pool trying to look as macho as possible under the circumstances.It’s really a challenge to play nineball with foam rubber missiles always in your way.Anyway,sis’ neighbor staggers in not in costume,and starts watching me.As my grandma would put it,he was so drunk he didn’t know if he was afoot or horseback.Finally,he came over and said, ‘who are you,sweetheart?’
I told him I was twice the man he’ll ever be and more woman than he’ll ever get.I decided it would be better to leave the party early than to have this creep wake up the next morning thinking a girl beat his ass.Although I still appreciate a beautiful woman in heels,that was my first and only foray into the twisted world of crossdressing.That’s it.True story.
FIRST,THEY CAME FOR THE CATHOLICS
There was a discussion on the radio this morning about Bozo cutting off Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to non-compliant Catholic hospitals.Judging from the initial outrage Barky may have bitten off more than he can chew.
If this post seems meandering,disjointed and totally incoherent–it’s about normal
THE ‘TAKE CARE OF ME’ SOCIETY IS WRECKING THE USA
I’ve been meaning to write about this,so I’ll take the opportunity.
It seems there will never be another ‘greatest generation’ that our parents and grandparents were a part of.The reasons are myriad.Today’s generation lacks the moral core founded in God and family which motivated them to sacrifice for the common cause.A will to win,as it were.Enduring personal hardship to see those fighting to keep us free had everything they needed.
Today’s culture is rooted in having things done for them and holding no values other than taking the easy road.I can think of no scenario where a majority of Americans would accept even a minimum of deprivation for any reason,even their own security.Look at the unions.They would rather the states go bankrupt or see their fellow workers thrown out of work rather than compromise their pay increases,retirement and generous medical plans.
You see multiple generations of families who live on the government dole and make no attempt to fend for themselves.Asking them to pick up trash or mow some grass and they feel like you’re trying to make ‘slaves’ out of them.Newt suggested giving some kids jobs as janitors to earn their own money and look at the hell he caught.Our foreign enemies know they don’t need to attack us physically.Our national will has atrophied and without strong leadership we will continue to slouch toward Gomorrah.
ROMNEY SPOKESMAN BEHIND EFFORT TO REDISTRICT ALLEN WEST OUT OF EXISTENCE
If the GOP tries to get rid of one of the few real men we have,there will be absolute hell to pay.
I guarantee it!
IT STARTED AS TWO GUYS HAVING A CONVERSATION
IF YOU WANT TO GET GOOSFLESH,OPEN THIS THREAD!
Two guys were discussing how sad it was that there were no “Welcome Home” parades for our Iraq veterans.
The word spread like wildfire and tens of thousands showed up along with hundreds of bands and floats.
Maybe the Obamas hate the military,but these patriots beg to differ.

This is a Harvard law professor?The smartest,most articulate man in the world?Really?
GINGRICH BLOWS CHANCE IN CRUCIAL FINAL DEBATE
Nobody ever heard of Bain Capital until a few weeks ago.If Gingrich survives you can add another name:Sheldon Adelson.He’s a billionaire casino magnate from Las Vegas and the 8th richest man in the country.He and Newt became close friends when he was House Speaker and they share the goal of moving the capital of Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.Going into the South Carolina primary Newt was broke and he was reeling from the attack ads in Iowa.Adelson pumped $5 million into his super pac which breathed life into his flagging campaign.After his primary victory in South Carolina Adelson’s wife gave his pac another 5 mil.Without his friend’s help,he would have been finished.Look for the Adelsons to join the Koch brothers and Richard Mellon Scaife as whipping boys for the left.
I wasn’t feeling well this morning when I got home,so I decided to take a little nap that ended up being over 4 hours(about what I usually get at night).I wasn’t going to post at all,but decided somebody might stop by here.GP,I can’t tell you how glad I am that you’re here.You have such a wealth of knowledge to share you’re a real asset to our merry band.
I KNOW YOU’VE ALL SEEN THIS AD NAUSEUM,BUT IT TICKLES ME TO SEE A WOMAN HAND THE HALF-BREED HIS HEAD

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,BARACK H. OBAMA
Dear Dickhead:
I have a friend that I’m quite fond of.You might say I even worship him.You know what that’s like,right?
He once said: “Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.”
In the 20 years you sat and listened to that anti-semitic racist gasbag with the unmitigated gall to call himself a reverend,you may have heard of Him.
His name is Jesus Christ.
‘PRO-CHOICE’ OBAMA FORCES RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS TO PAY FOR ABORTION DRUGS
The problem I have with that phrase is what are the choices?
I guess the term ‘pro-abortion’ is just too harsh to label those who delight in slaughtering innocent lives.
Listen,you arrogant sonofabitch–this might be a game to you,BUT THIS IS NOT A GAME!!!!!
People are losing their jobs,their homes,their investments are shrinking,people are eating pasta because they can’t afford meat,shop at the goodwill store for clothes to send their kids for indoctrination by union teachers and have three generations of families living in one house because they have nowhere else to go.November is coming,pally.Game over.
DIVA:NEWT WON’T ATTEND DEBATES WITHOUT CHEERING AUDIENCE
Newt:GET A GRIP!!!
You were losing the South Carolina primary until you put the smackdown on David ‘BIG HAIR’ Gregory,much to the approval of the crowd.The media knew it,which is why Brian ‘too cute for words’ Williams ordered no applause at the first Florida debate.Remember how you got pummeled about whining over having to sit in the back of Air Force One when Klintoon was in office?You were just a feckless Speaker then.Now you want to take a job from their Chosen One.You fancy yourself as a great debater,but Romney ate your lunch.You can’t debate your way to the presidency.Stop bitching about the media and articulate your position on the issues.Every republican knows it’s an unfair fight.Man up and run your race.
AS A FORMER MEMBER OF THE DAIRY FARMING COMMUNITY,I’M OFFENDED FOR HOLSTEIN,GUERNSEY AND JERSEY COWS EVERYWHERE AT THE LAME ATTEMPT AT HUMOR BY SOMEBODY WHO COULDN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BARN BOOT AND A BIRKENSTOCK
REID SUPPORTS RULES CHANGE TO AVOID FILIBUSTER OF NOMINEES
Reid,you toad-faced little twerp,you won’t be majority leader much longer.What do you plan to do?Change the rules again when Republicans are in the majority?
OBAMA PRAISES SEALS AFTER DARING RESCUE OF U.S. AID WORKER IN SOMALIA
I’m sure he gave his approval for the raid.What a brave leader he is.I caught the Hannity rerun at 1AM as I was getting ready for work.Fat-face Luntz had his focus group and two Obamabots,one black woman and one white guy both brought up that Obama ‘got’ Bin Laden.This will be a recurring theme in the upcoming Obama ‘can we bullshit enough people again’ campaign.
Democrats are famous for holding back dirt until they can use it to screw their opponents.
Remember Mark Foley?They held on to his suggestive e-mails until the day after the deadline for getting someone else on the ballot in 2006.With the media beating the story to death,they managed to get a majority in the House they held until 2010.These people are scum,but they know how to win.
TINGLES:I NEVER HEARD OF CONGRESSIONAL INSIDER TRADING UNTIL OBAMA MENTIONED IT TONIGHT
Thats why you’ll never be more than a third-rate talking head on a fourth-rate network.
Considering your dearth of talent and intellect,be grateful for keeping your job by constantly sucking up.
Just wondering about what kind of warm Christmas memories those military families have whose husbands and fathers had to leave their families to go do “Barry-the-Narcissist Goes Golfing on Christmas Day” security duty.
BAN TO ISRAEL:END THE ‘OCCUPATION’
The secretary general of the most corrupt,arrogant,despotic and totally useless organization on the planet,unequaled by even the Obama administration, calls on Israel to cede land they captured when war was declared on them so as to make their annhiliation easier.Since the state of Israel was declared in 1948 they have been beset by the Muslim countries that surround them who have sworn their destruction as infidels.
The United States has always supported Israel as the lone outpost of democracy in the Middle East.Until now.The Israelis have an instinct in recognizing friend from foe.They know Obama is NO friend.Unfortunately Jews in this countries are liberals first and Jews second.
The IDF is the toughest fighting group in the world and military service is mandatory in their country for the sake of survival.When Ehud Barak was PM,Yasser Arafat could have gotten 90% of what he was demanding but was not satisfied.He would have been a good democrat.Iran becoming a nuclear nation is no joke,friends.Islam is a religion soaked in the blood of the innocent.
The United Nations is a bunch of tinpot dictators and their family members who suck up US taxpayer dollars,are not bound by our laws because of diplomatic immunity,and congratulate themselves for being the most important people in the world.
OBAMA HEADS TO CHURCH–AGAIN
He’s in full campaign mode.Why is it whenever a democrat gets in trouble they run to a black church?In the sheep ranching business there’s an animal called the Judas Goat.He is the one sheep follow to the slaughterhouse.The goat goes back to the farm,the sheep become mutton.
I think there’s an analogy in there somewhere.
VOGUING FOR OBAMA
This is from Clarice’s pieces on AT today.You MUST read this article.Its about the people who try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
THE NAVY IS COUNTING ON DOLPHINS TO KEEP THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ OPEN
The United States Navy,who defeated the mighty Japanese armada at Midway in August,1944 has been replaced by…..Flipper?
Note to Obozo:replacing the most dangerous weapon in the world,the American soldier,with unmanned drones and aquatic mammals is not a particularly good idea.
REID ON BI-PARTISANSHIP:REPUBLICANS,DROP THE TEA PARTY ‘EXTREMISM’
“Learn what legislation is all about.”
Translation:abandon your principles,betray the people who voted for you and we’ll let you sit with us at the grown-ups table.We still resent you being here and having to associate with you,but if you behave maybe our friends in the press won’t make your life quite as miserable.
Excerpt from The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan by Michael Hastings:
After the talk, out of earshot from the soldiers and diplomats, he starts to complain. He starts to act very un-Obamalike, according to a U.S. embassy official who helped organize the trip in Baghdad.
He’s asked to go out to take a few more pictures with soldiers and embassy staffers. He’s asked to sign copies of his book. “He didn’t want to take pictures with any more soldiers; he was complaining about it,” a State Department official tells me.
“Look, I was excited to meet him. I wanted to like him. Let’s just say the scales fell from my eyes after I did. These are people over here who’ve been fighting the war, or working every day for the war effort, and he didn’t want to take fucking pictures with them?”
To put the likelihood this is an accurate quote, keep in mind that Michael Hastings is a Leftist and NO FAN of the military. Remember the Rolling Stone hit piece that got General McChrystal canned? Hastings wrote it.
To put Obama’s dismissive attitude toward personal meet-and-greets into perspective, note that he’s “grateful” for soldiers’ service to him as a backdrop to his speech.
I have heard from many sources, including my own kid who met George Bush a few years ago, that HE didn’t just bother himself with such courtesies. He relished the opportunities.
AND … again from personal, first-hand, word of mouth … he put all the emphasis on the soldiers, NOT on himself. My kid reported three things in particular.
She was whelmed at how personally he greeted them, really looked into their eyes and thanked them effusively and genuinely for their service.
He told them he’d just come from a difficult meeting and was so grateful there were Marines on the South Lawn to greet him, because it cheered him up so much to see them. (I looked up his schedule. He’d been talking to Democrats.)
He personally reminded his staffer to be sure and get each warrior’s name and address so they would be certain to receive a copy of the official photograph.
Some people are really good at lying — i.e., being convincing with the language that comes out their mouths. But convincing body language is a whole other thing. It’s what separates the really talented actors from the rest of us.
Obama and Bush are not actors; they’re politicians. Even more compelling, they’re presidents who were photographed hundreds of times a day for years. I have learned all I needed to know about these two men just from studying photographs like these.
