GUIELESS GILE; JACK-ASS JAKE & OVERT RACISM

By Richard Day on Wed, 04/10/2013 - 3:43pm |

FUNNY & GUILELESS

Saline County Commissioner Jim Gile (R) used the term "nigger-rigging" during a commission discussion April 2 about hiring an architect to work on a county building, the Salina Journal reported on Saturday. Gile apologized for the comments, but residents called for his resignation during a commission meeting Tuesday afternoon...

 

"I am not a prejudiced person," Gile told the Salina Journal. "I have built Habitat homes for colored people."

There are other punch lines, believe it or not, to this story. See also:

MOMMY

I took my little trip to the grocers.

It was a Monday and I was almost out of my allowance till Wednesday and I only needed to spend under twelve bucks.

Oh I have a couple hundred in savings now and that is there to make sure that if my computer goes down....well, I can get a back-up and not destroy an entire monthly budget!

JUAN PONCE DE LEON

I just caught this little squib at the NYT about the seeker of the Fountain of Youth.

Evidently they are going to put the SOB on a postage stamp or something commemorating things the bastard never accomplished.

PRIVACY; THERE IS NO PRIVACY ANYMORE!

Oh I wish to be anti-liberal today. Well kinda!

 

I do not know exactly why I feel like this. I mean my cervical problems went away recently following two months of upper back pain.

PHIL DONAHUE & THE IRAQ WAR

I am in the middle of The West Wing series again on Netflix. For some reason the stream quit after the first three years and out of the blue, the rest of the episodes appeared, magically last week.

Anyway I have Adult Deficit Multipersonality whatever and I watch golf and read blogs at the same time I 'view' my stream.

Well, we now have PCTV.

No not politically correct TV which will always be with us.

We have for sometime seen the likes of bigger blog sites like Huffpo and Beast and Salon providing video interviews.

So I run into a 61 minute HUFFPO special interviewing Phil Donahue of all people.

And what HUFFPO was getting into involves our ten year venture into Halliburton's War.

You can take the repub out of the bank but you cannot take the bank out of the repub.

Lawrence O'Donnell talked about a subject that has been bugging me for years.
