Driving around yesterday trying to listen to His Heinous spout his usual crapola,I noticed when he finished his opening monologue he had a list of adoring media groupies to toss powder puffs at him.That is precisely what happened.Fortunately,our vehicles are equipped with biohazard cleanup kits!
RUSH:OBAMA’S ABSURD PRESS CONFERENCE
The original is still the best.Rush is a national treasure.
If I commented,I’d just have to delete it anyway.Compare the arrogant,in-your-face,screw you attitude of this grifter with the grace and class of Laura Bush.God,I miss her.
I refuse to call this bag of fat cells a lady.Her mission the next 18 months is to rake in cash to keep her and her baby daddy in the lifestyle they’re accustomed to-American people be damned.
I caught a few minutes of Christiane Imawhore yesterday.If the Republicans won’t cave on raising the debt limit and raising taxes they’ll put out ads claiming seniors won’t get their checks and the military won’t get paid.There is no level they won’t stoop to.
In one of my very favorite stories, Edward Everett Hale’s “The Man without a Country,” a young Army lieutenant named Philip Nolan stands condemned for treason during the Revolutionary War, having come under the influence of Aaron Burr. When the judge asks him if he wishes to say anything before sentence is passed, young Nolan defiantly exclaims, “Damn the United States! I wish I might never hear of the United States again!”
The stunned silence in the courtroom is palpable, pulsing. After a long pause, the judge soberly says to the angry lieutenant: “You have just pronounced your own sentence. You will never hear of the United States again. I sentence you to spend the rest of your life at sea, on one or another of this country’s naval vessels – under strict orders that no one will ever speak to you again about the country you have just cursed.”
And so it was. Philip Nolan was taken away and spent the next 40 years at sea, never hearing anything but an occasional slip of the tongue about America. The last few pages of the story, recounting Nolan’s dying hours in his small stateroom – now turned into a shrine to the country he foreswore – never fail to bring me to tears. And I find my own love for this dream, this miracle called America, refreshed and renewed. I know how blessed and unique we are.

The president without a country by Pat Boone – June 06, 2009
I have a feeling the republicans who sold out will pay a steep price next November.Its one thing in a state like mine where the Republicans are considered comic relief,but when you can make a difference and still capitulate there are consequences.
