This made me laugh out loud!

LOVE IT!

As her opponents seethe, writhe and wail over governor Pailin’s every move it is business as usual in Alaska. Sarah Palin quietly goes about her business as usual much to the chagrin of those who have rabid hate for her. Personally I find this whole “OPPOSE SARAH PALIN” (from both sides of the isle) drop dead funny. Apparently the opposition is so out of touch they have no clue how “mindlessly stupid” they appear to anyone who has no vested interest one way or another in what she does.

In fact daily it is becoming more clear just how “mindlessly stupid” the majority of officials running our government have become (or always were and we just paid it no mind).

While Governor Palin was busy signing a joint resolution declaring Alaska’s sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution – and now 36 other states have introduced similar resolutions as part of a growing resistance to the federal government.

Kathleen Sebelius Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services is doing the footwork trying to foist the latest SCAM onto the citizenry of the USA. Free health care to all.

When asked by a reporter “does president Obama expect EVERYONE to pay the bill for this program?” her answer was YES. Now either the woman is totally out of touch or plainly an open faced liar.

What a surprise of late!

It certainly does not take rocket science to see why the Sarah Palin bandwagon grows daily by leaps and bounds.

Do you know what happened 159 years ago this fall…. back in 1850

California became a state.
The people had no electricity.
The state had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.
So basically, nothing has changed except the women had real boobs and the men didn’t hold hands.

I watched the clip of Barack Obama sniveling about Fox News and its big megaphone badmouthing him.
“Boo Hoo”.
Is this the first adversity this man has encountered in his life?
This is typical narcissistic behavior “what the world does not love me as much as I love myself? Snivel, whine how can that be?
This man is SO TOTALLY OUT OF TOUCH!

This says it all about the Gangsta in the Whitehouse.

As I watched the Iranian election protest unfold and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad run off to Russia to swap spit with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin this relationship struck me as quite odd. In fact it reminded me of a relationship long ago in a place far away called Michigan.

We had a new kid move into the neighborhood and he quickly commenced to brag to all the girls how tough and worthy he was. He had this snarl and wicked demeanor that was a warning to all males to back off or else. His curly wild hair and scraggly facial hair only added to the image he was so careful to cultivate. He never bothered me so I gave the guy a pass. Something always bothered me though, the guy was skinny and although somewhat athletic in a street fight quickness, endurance and strength rule the day. He was so skinny almost to the point of being frail. I thought to myself no way if this dude ever gets into a fight will he win. I just ignored him and he ignored me.

But unfortunately for him he didn’t ignore everyone else. He began confronting weaker students in a typical bulling pattern. Soon he befriended some of the students. I knew these guys he was “friends” with better than he did. Mostly very nice somewhat stupid teenage young men. And with all teenage guys they like a good fight. So the guys treated Russ like a prize fighter. Fawning attention on him, going to parties with him, but never really accepting him. To them, several IQ points higher than Russ, he was the flavor of the month and if they could get a good fight out of him at parties once in awhile it would all be worth the hassle of having the belligerent asshole around. And that opportunity came.

Ron was a peaceful sort of guy. Big, strong with a very mild mannered disposition. A very nice and well respected young man. The perfect sort of guy that a bully would want to take advantage of and show his fellow classmates what a stud he was plunking the big guy.

And so the stage was set. Russ and his “friends” arrive at the party looking to get drunk, fight and possibly score. Russ feeling full of himself looks over Ron and decides to show all his classmates what a tough guy he is. He provokes Ron who ignores him. More provocation and still Ron ignores him. Finally Russ crosses the line and shoves Ron then swings at him missing wildly. Bad decision. Ron stands there unmoved looking at Russ. Left, right, left and then the blows soon connect. The slender Russ falls on his back. Not content to let it end there Ron easily holds Russ down and pummels his face black and blue in front of all the other “A” list students. It was a huge ass whipping and after it was over no one wanted to be seen with Russ. His face was a mess for a month.

Russ’s friends distanced themselves and laugh about it for months. They got their entertainment and moved on to bigger and better things. Russ never recovered from his humiliation and completed high school with a whimper. His friends went on to become very successful in all walks of life. It pays to have superior IQ and stupid friends who will do your dirty work.

And so it is this relationship between Iran and Russia. Russia sells Iran arms and technology, encourages them to attack Israel, all the while keeping their distance. Russia knows Israel will destroy Iran. So why keep encouraging the idiots to pursue a policy of national suicide?

Iran is like pathetic Russ frail, looking to be the local bully, willing to pay money to be with Russia. Iran buys arms and weapons, incites hatred, scares weaker countries, and still they are nothing but a frail weak pathetic kid just looking for an ass whipping. And if they keep looking there are going to find that ass whipping along with a few of their neighbors in the Middle East.

Now with Israelis history, with the Jews history, with 80 or more nuclear bombs fueled, in hardened underground silos ready to go what do you think will happen if Iran nukes Israel? Iran might get off one but Israel will get off 10? 20? All of them? Will Russia throw in a few for free? Every city of any note in Iran will be destroyed. It will make Hiroshima seem like a warm up. And in the aftermath Israel will be vulnerable to attacf from its neighbors. A few more nukes in Syria, southern Lebanon, Saudi Arabia? Israel or what remains of it will be more determined than ever before to survive. No one who is a enemy of Israel will be spared. No quarter.

And where would a Iranian ass whipping leave Russia? In a better position to exploit gas and oil reserves. Without Iran the price of oil goes up. Russia is a huge winner. And like Russ losing everything and his friends going on to prosper so Russia hopes it is with its relationship with Iran.

The people of Iran seem to understand their leadership is on a path to destruction. May god be with them in their efforts to change their leadership.

As the previous foutainheadzero post points out most secessionists of “reputable” note including Wall Street Journal writer Paul Starobin and former KGB operative Igor Panarin predict a regional break up of the United States. But in the real world looking at national secession movements throughout history including the most recent break up of the USSR this makes no sense what so ever. When people split apart the first thing they look for in their new country are people like them. That would be Homogeneous people who share the same beliefs and values not more of the same political strife and division under the old regime.

Looking at the WSJ map by Mr. Starobin the Michigan, Wisconsin, Upper Michigan and Minnesota are all grouped together. I grew up there and still visit whenever I can. That isn’t going to happen. People outside of Flint, Detroit, Pontiac and Benton Harbor despise the thugs in those parts of the state. Year after year unions and city politics divide the state. No way in hell will the people of Michigan or Wisconsin, Minnesota or the Upper Peninsula want anything to do with Detroit. Period. The whole idea of prosperity for generations of Michiganders has been to make enough money to get away from Detroit, Flint, East Lansing and other areas of third world conditions. To break up and then have a repeat of the old political divisions makes NO SENSE at all. To put it bluntly the 70’s bussing movement and integration efforts were a colossal failure in Michigan and it had the opposite affect on the people. The rest of Michigan will pay Canada to take over Detroit before they allow them to be a part of a new country.

Another thing Mr. Starobin and Mr. Panarin conveniently forget is the federal government has the best military in the world. To put it bluntly they have all the guns. And how do we dissolve that military? Split it up according to regional governments? I don’t think so. Anyone who is a student of Roman history knows the history is full of civil war between competing armies with split allegiances. Julius César leading the most notable and famous upsurge. Dividing the country up into small somewhat equal parts would be an invite to war between the parts looking to establish dominance. The Romans suffered years of civil war and destruction. The United States needs to avoid that fate.

The military budget is $515 billion. Any secession movement needs to form a country big enough to pay that bill. Soon Washington will be broke. As Frederic II said “an army, like a serpent, travels on its belly.” Texas can’t pay the bill alone. The military is priority one for the new government and paying for it will require millions of our most productive citizens. Citizens from Texas to California. From California to North Carolina.

The most logical dissolution of the United States is one based on common homogeneous ideas of freedom and liberty with traditional values. The most logical dissolution of the United States is based on red counties. That is the true split between Americans. The fly over states are being dominated in elections by big cities. It’s that simple. Look at the election map by counties. The sane majority is now the minority. Negros vote 95% democrat. Hispanics 65% democrat. Asians 62% democrat. Jews 78% democrat as well as contributing massive amounts of money towards the goal of highly centralized governments. All groups highly represented in high density urban areas. Let these people have their own government and set the remainder of the United States citizens be free under a constitution that reflect the original constitution of our founding fathers.

Texas is the natural leader for the right to have the new capital in Crawford, Texas. After all Bush set up Obama for this colossal failure so why not honor the guy. That $700 billion bail out was the impetus for this new revolution. Don’t know if the guy was smart enough to see the consequences of his actions but everyone else paying attention sure did.

Texas needs to print a currency based on the gold standard of old. Provide a constitution with the Fair Tax, limited government, and limited taxation at the federal level, no interference in education or private markets at the federal level. Texas needs to create the freest most libertarian constitution ever created or add amendments to our original constitution and let the states decide. Let the counties decide. Any neighboring county to the new union should be allowed to join with open arms. Hopeful the new union will look like the red county election map. The deposits can have their areas to for dictatorships isolated and alone. Or they can accept the principals of limited taxation, freedom and liberty. Their choice.

1. Freeze federal spending.
2. Freeze new legislation.
3. Cut corporate taxes to 25%.
4. Cut payroll taxes 50% for 1 year.
5. Cut capital gains taxes to 10%.
6. Fire David Axelrod and Rod Emanuel.
7. Tell China to support a coup in North Korea.
8. Support the removal of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.
9. Support the removal of Harry Reid as Senate leader.
10. Resign and go back to college and take some economic classes.

I have watched Glen Beck off and on since he hit fox news.
He apprears to be sincere and forthright when my cousin pointed me to the ambush on “THE VIEW” … I was a bit surprised at the whole 7 minutes of “YOU ARE A LIAR” the women foisted onto the view audience.

I was left with a WHY?
I made comment back then.

Well here is where the truth finally shakes out. Appaently I was not the only person troubled by the situation on a number of levels. I did not think Beck lied because I figured he was to smart to do that in front of millions when his motto is “say what you mean and mean what you say”.

So here is what finally tumbled out of the dirty “THE VIEW” laundry basket under scrutiny. Amtrac wanted the whole issue to be swept under the carpet, ABC who indeed asked for SPECIAL TREATMENT of Walters and Goldberg and GOT IT!

The outcome?
Walters is either a journalist who DOES NOT CHECK HER FACTS or is hopelessly out of touch with how ordinary people ride Amtrac.

Woopie? … I don’t know … I have always given her credit for being pretty even keeled. In this instance she was totally whacked. So why I ask?

The women OWE BECK A HUGE APOLOGY!

Will they give it?
If there is a chance I suspect it would come from at Goldbergs urging. I will not hold my breath.

You can watch the saga played out by a real journalist (Scott Baker of Breitbart TV and The B-Cast)

You be the judge.

One needs to apply some common sense in watching this President in the now past 100 days of service to this country.

I read something put forward by Joseph Farah this morning and I stopped to think. Does any of this honestly make sense to you?

• If you held a job and people were questioning your qualifications, and all you had to do to put an end to those questions, not to mention more than a dozen lawsuits filed against you, was to produce a valid birth certificate you claimed to possess, would you refuse to take that simple step? Or would you, as Obama has done, spend at least $1 million to fight the lawsuits? I think most people would agree that someone who chose the latter is either crazy or doesn’t have a valid birth certificate.
• Let’s say you got a job in which you succeeded someone with whom you disagreed passionately.Would you try to have that person prosecuted over those differences, knowing that some day, someone with whom you disagree would succeed you and possibly contemplate the same course of action? That’s what Obama talked about doing in the case of his disagreement with George W. Bush over the practice of coercive interrogations – policies, I might point out, that were employed not just by his immediate predecessor, but by every war-time president in the history of the United States.
• Or what do you make of Obama’s efforts to ban the use of the words “terror” and “terrorism” from his administration’s lexicon? The administration prefers to call attacks on terrorists “overseas contingency operations.” And terrorist attacks at home are referred to as “man-caused disasters.” These new terms are apparently considered less offensive to terrorists.
• While there are hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens voluntarily serving in arms overseas, the Obama administration put out a report to law enforcement agencies throughout the country to be wary of returning veterans, because they might be more inclined to get involved in “right-wing extremist” activities.
• Obama presides – legitimately or illegitimately – over a nation founded on the ideals of “independence” and “national sovereignty.” Yet, in a speech given in Prague, what was his prescription for making the world a better place? “All nations must come together to build a stronger, global regime,” he said.
• How about his solution to an economic crisis spurred by too much indebtedness? More debt.
• Let’s say you’re the first black president. Do you appoint a black attorney general who indicts the people who just elected you as a “nation of cowards” on matters of race?
• Imagine appointing to a top policy position at the Defense Department, a columnist from the Los Angeles Times who believes U.S. policies were to blame for the 9/11 attacks by al-Qaida. That would be Rosa Brooks, who also previously referred to Obama’s immediate predecessor as “our torturer in chief ” and a “psychotic who need(s) treatment” while comparing Bush’s arguments for waging a war on terrorism to Adolf Hitler’s use of political propaganda.

Personally I continue to waver between:
“Is this guy NUTS?”
“You have got to be kidding!”
and
“We are so screwed!”

This young woman has it together and I hope she is willing to run for an office some time. We need more like her.

I love Ann Coulter.

Her latest rant is directed at those who consider waterboarding a war crime.

It is my firm belief that every one of these waterboard protesters would in a hot new york minute waterboard anyone who had information that would save THEIR loved one. If they say they would not?
You can count on one thing THEY LIE!

Its pretty easy to be an idéologue when someone elses ass is on the line and yours or those you care about is not.

Is Henican a hypocrite?

HERE is the Coulter article.

White House “Nouveau Riche”

It is indeed interesting to watch the new class less couple in the whitehouse.
From “not a pot” to “excess billions” at the tax payers expense.

It’s pretty easy to spend spend spend when it is not yours and that is what we see with our new head of state. It seems neither the President or his first lady have the common sense of a 4 year old. Some of the things going on in their everyday life is actually becoming downright laughable.

I find it more than hypocritical that Obama PREACHES “tighten your belts” when he apparently has no belt. Apparently the new leader does not realize you gain respect by “practicing what you preach” … oh but why should he? We are footing the bill.

First we have an expensive uncalled for NYC flyover to the tune of how much WASTED CASH?
Move over Joe Bidden the first lady is close on your heels with? Who the heck opened the cage doors?
First Lady Michelle Obama steps out in Lanvin sneakers and they’re only $540!

Glenn Beck wrote a piece about Rush Linbaugh for “Time 100″

Excerpt:
“No matter how many new technologies pop up, nothing will ever surpass the intimacy of radio. And nobody will ever be better at utilizing it than Rush. His consistency, insight and honesty have earned him a level of trust with his listeners that politicians can only dream of. And that is why the more irrelevant critics try to make him, the more relevant he becomes.”

Read the whole piece …

U.S. Supreme Court justice Justice Clarence Thomas is offering some legal insight about the so-called Fairness Doctrine, suggesting the off-the-books policy could be declared unconstitutional if it’s revived and brought before the bench.

In written discussion on yesterday’s ruling cracking down on indecent language on television, Justice Clarence Thomas called the policy “problematic” and a “deep intrusion into the First Amendment rights of broadcasters.”

The doctrine requiring broadcasters to air opposing viewpoints on controversial issues was brought to an end in the 1980s under the direction of President Ronald Reagan’s Federal Communications Commission.

Excerpt from: Muslims: ‘We do that on first dates’ by Ann Coulter

“The CIA’s interrogation techniques couldn’t be more ridiculous if they were out of Monty Python’s Spanish Inquisition sketch:”

• Cardinal! Poke her with the soft cushions! …
• Hmm! She is made of harder stuff! Cardinal Fang! Fetch … THE COMFY CHAIR!
• So you think you are strong because you can survive the soft cushions. Well, we shall see. Biggles! Put her in the Comfy Chair! …
• Now – you will stay in the Comfy Chair until lunchtime, with only a cup of coffee at 11.

Have you ever wondered how to wrap your mind around all of this millions and trillions the government is talking about? Take a look at the definition of this cleaver young man. Then next time you listen to Obama tell you how HE IS managing things and fixing the debt? You will actually understand what a fraud he actually is.

Obama is suppose to be a man with an IQ of 178?
My estimation is 80 and that might be high.
Actually none of us know for sure because we have seen nothing real of his records … only his own made up history. Anyone on the internet for any length of time at all knows how easy it is for frauds to manufacture an inflated history.

The photo above captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect wildlife in the US .

After hearing of the Democratic Party victory, animals that were formerly self-sufficient are already modifying their behavior to take advantage of what they expect to be a new set of societal norms in the next four to eight years.

This black bear from Montana has ceased hunting for a living and is sitting outside the US Fish & Wildlife Service office in Kalispell, apparently waiting to be fed and to have his winter den dug by government employees.

The residents of Kalispell are calling him ‘Bearack Obama’

I have to chuckle with some of this stuff being sent my way … actually I have thought of it myself … what part of the (Glenn Beck) icing can we shove off into the Pacific. It is a time apparently for a new start and the one below appears to be a viable solution.

A TRUE SOLUTION TO STIMULUS!

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950’s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let’s just end it on friendly terms.

We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way. Here is a model separation agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be
relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. We don’t like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).

We’ll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO’s and rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we’ll help provide them security.

We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U. N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

We’ll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We’ll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We’ll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute Imagine, I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

We’ll practice trickledown economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we’ll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,

John J. Wall (Law Student and an American)

P. S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you.

It seems like every time you turn on the TV, there’s an eye-catching new pharmaceutical commercial airing. Each new pill is packaged more beautifully than the last, and drug makers’ lofty claims promise an enticing array of health improvements — as long as you ignore the dubious side effects.

Still, the advertisements often skirt the big issues — what exactly are these new miracle pills for? Where do you turn for more information? Watch what happens when one man decides to seek some answers and ends up with more information than he bargained for!

This was just too cute … enjoy !

A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time.

So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.

She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.

‘Pardon me, sir, I’m Rebecca Smith from CNN. What’s your name?

‘Morris Fishbein,’ he replied.

‘Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?’*

‘For about 60 years.’

‘60 years! That’s amazing! What do you pray for?’

‘I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims.’ I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man.’

‘How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?’

‘Like I’m talking to a f****’ wall.

Thank heaven we still have friends to the USA who see things clearly and have the guts to present them in print.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT — THESE CARTOONS ARE FROM OUR FRIENDS ‘DOWN UNDER’.

Maybe because the media is no longer friend to America?

For all those ladies over 40 (for those under 40, its okay, you’ll achieve this status soon enough).

In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40:

60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, ‘What are you thinking?’ She doesn’t care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it’s usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified.

They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved.

They know what it’s like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthr ight and honest. They’ll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.
Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal.

For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?’, here’s an update for you.

Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage.
Why?
Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

A Cajun man wants a job, but the foreman won’t hire him until he passes a little math test.
Here is your first question, the foreman said. “Without using numbers, represent the number 9.”

“Without numbers?” The Cajun says, “Dat is easy.” And proceeds to draw three trees.

“What’s this?” the boss asks?

“Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine,” says the Cajun.

“Fair enough,” says the boss.
“Here’s your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99.”

The Cajun stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. “Ere you go.”

The boss scratches his head and says, “How on earth do you get that to represent 99?”

“Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it’s dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99.”

The boss is getting worried that he’s going to actually have to hire this Cajun, so he says, “All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100.”

The Cajun stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, “Ere you go. One hundred.”

The boss looks at the attempt. “You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!”

The Cajun leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and says, “A little dog come along and pooped by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which makes one hundred.”

“So, when I start?”

A few weeks back I happened to be watching “The View” ONLY because I had missed Bill O’Reilly skewer Joy Behar and ready her for BBQ. I missed the whole interview with O’Reilly but did see comments from Ms. Behar slice, dice and ginsu Sarah Palin’s clothing while cooing over how well dressed Michelle Obama always was.

My first thought at that moment was “you have got to be kidding” can’t the Obama team get Michelle a really GOOD designer? Of course after Michelle’s first comment and thoughts on how “not proud” of America she was … I could see the logic in keeping her out of focus a bit.

My second though was “thank GOD” Ms. Behar (no fashion diva herself) has no influence on “the fashion industry” in America today.

Then came the Obama acceptance speech with president elect Obama, his 2 beautiful daughters, and the first lady to be. I found myself exclaiming “WHERE DID SHE GET THAT DRESS?” Followed by “who soaked them for that and how much”? Followed by I could have whipped up better than that in my 9th grade sewing class.

As you can see I do a lot of talking to the TV when I am by myself.

The dust had no sooner began to settle when all of a sudden the remake of the Obama family began. He could walk on water and she was the next Jackie Kennedy of fashion. I am not sure about the water thing yet but I can not remember said first lady (yes I am old enough to remember the impeccable Jackie Kennedy) looking like she shopped at the nearest salvation army thrift store.

During the entire campaign I heard NOT one comment on the beautifully dressed Cindy McCain.
Where is the balanced FAIR news coverage today?

Oh I know! there is none.

Apparently the Republican side of the isle considers this kind of stuff trivia … I must admit so do I.

Then the other day an email hit my inbox from a friend. The irony of it all provided me with a more than hardy laugh for the day.

Normally that would have been the end of it but with the other side of the fence obsessing over “this kind of trivia” I felt it only fair to offer perspective from the opposing camp.

I am still wondering if this was an accident or some noted designers sad joke?

It as usual is up to you to decide.

One of the people on Joe the Plumber Forum (Shelly I think) posted this. I laughed so hard tears were running down my cheeks. I think I will set up a section for Funny Things. We all need to have a light hearted chuckle daily. Anyway I wrote Tom Adkins and asked him for permission and he granted it so I am grateful so you enjoy too.

WHITE GUILT IS DEAD
Free at last, free at last!
By Tom Adkins

Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I’m virtually euphoric.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not thrilled with America’s flirtation with neo-socialism. But there’s a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barack Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America: The Era of White Guilt is over.

This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn’t give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hating domestic terrorists. Wow! Some resume! Yet they made Barack Obama their leader. Therefore, as of November 4th, 2008, white guilt is dead.

For over a century, the millstone of white guilt hung around our necks, retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 60s, American liberals began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a socialist solution. But if a black man can become President, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barack Obama absolutely destroys the entire validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain.

So today, I’m feeling a little “uppity,” if you will. From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is now exactly ZERO. And it’s time to clean house. No more Reverend Wright’s “God Damn America,” Al Sharpton’s Church of Perpetual Victimization, or Jesse Jackson’s rainbow racism. Cornell West? You’re a fraud. Go home. All those “black studies” programs that taught kids to hate whitey? You must now thank Whitey. And I want that on the final.

Congressional Black Caucus? Irrelevant. Maxine Waters? Shut up. ACORN? Outlawed. Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. Go ahead. I’m waiting.

Gangsta rappers? Praise America. Begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. And please, no more ebonics. Speak English, and who knows where you might end up? Oh, yeah, pull up your pants. Your underwear is showing. You look stupid.

Black Fraternities? Seek diversity. Race Card? It’s now the joker. Miss Black America? Get in line with all the other lovely ladies. Reparations? Paid.

To those Eurosnots who forged entire careers hating America? I’m still waiting for the first black French President.

And let me offer an equal opportunity whupping. I’ve always despised lazy white people. Now, I can talk smack about lazy black people. You’re poor because you quit school, did drugs, had three kids with three different fathers, and refuse to work. So when you plop your Colt 45-swilling, Oprah watchin’ butt on the couch and complain “Da Man is keepin’ me down!!!” allow me to inform you: Da Man is now black. You have no excuses.

No more quotas. No more handouts. No more stealing my money because someone’s great-great-great-great grandparents suffered actual pain and misery at the hands of people I have no relation to, and personally revile.

It’s time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of the other stupid 60s ideas. Drag it over there, by wife swapping, next to dope-smoking. Plenty of room right between free love and cop-killing. Careful, don’t trip on streaking. There ya go, don’t be gentle. Just dump it. Wash your hands. It’s filthy.

In fact, Obama’s ascension created a gargantuan irony. How can you sell class envy and American unfairness when you and your black wife went to Ivy League schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and got elected President? How unfair is that??? Now, Like a delicious O’Henry tale, Obama’s spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by it’s own victory! America is officially a meritocracy. Obama’s election has validated American conservatism!

So, listen carefully … “Wham!!!”

That’s the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone erected. White guilt is dead and buried.

However, despite my glee, there’s apparently one small, rabid bastion of American racism remaining. Black Americans voted 96% for Barack Obama. Hmmm. In a color-blind world, shouldn’t that be 50-50? Tonight, every black person should ask forgiveness for their apparent racism and prejudice towards white people. Maybe it’s time to start spreading that guilt around.
