WHITE WHITE RABBIT; TRIBUTE TO BACHMANN

Beckerhead and rush and savage and a number of other folks discovered that if they keep on the side of entertainment and skip real political analysis (without the need of fact checking) that they would be rewarded.

And rewarded they were, by the big bucks.

SAMMY DAVIS, JR. & THE REPUBS!


 

HEDGE FUND PRICK

Billionaire hedge fund executive Paul Tudor Jones believes mothers don’t make good traders because having babies and breast-feeding are focus and ambition “killers.”

CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL!

For your penance say three Our Fathers and drink three Bloody Marys!(Conspiracy of Silence)

Former Vice President Dick Cheney has confessed to changing the CIA’s accurate information on Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction for political reasons.

You start out with the truth as reported by the intelligence community, and then you turn it into a total distortion once the political types in the White House and some senior folks at the State Department get their hands on it

TIDES; TIGER & THE BABE!

Babe Ruth2.jpg

I am missing Smith.

So I am creating this non-Haiku in the hopes I can find out how he is doing.

 

I was thinking about tides.

We can better understand the miraculous as long as we admit the miracle of tides.

The ole 'ebb and flow' as they say.

Babe Ruth is a hero of mine.

I scanned a nice article at NYT forecasting how our energy needs will change over the next decade.

But it really is the progress our nation has made over the last five years that astounds me.

We are really close to seeing America as a net oil exporter!

Alternative sources of energy are cutting our dependency on coal.

Alternative sources of energy are creating jobs!

New sources of traditional fuel are creating jobs; real jobs paying good money.

TOY GUNS!

The NRA is having another convention and crazy crazy people will show up and give grand speeches about liberty and the Constitution and the commie liberals.

Mediamatters does a splendid job demonstrating how the voices of the right including Hannity and Nugent and beckerhead and so many other nutjobs have been calling for out-right revolution over the last few years.

Talk about yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater?

Senator Cruz

 

Speaking of revolutions:

Ted Cruz has been accused of setting himself up for a 2016 run for the Presidency!

Ted Cruz has denied these charges.

I had a wonderful day.

Spring was more than a month late but damn I had a wonderful day.

It was 67 F for chrissakes!

Seany notified me by email that he would arrive with the troop on the weekend, like two days before the event.

I did not expect the troop until sometime in May.

THE PROM PROBLEM

 

MISCEGENATION

 

We as a nation have so many dire issues facing us.

The 21st century has presented us with a new Boston Massacre.

And there has been little news presented of late that even touches upon other dire issues that effect this country.

GUIELESS GILE; JACK-ASS JAKE & OVERT RACISM

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!

PONCE DE LEON & GEORGE W. BUSH

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.
