A spoonful of sugar to help that medicine go down for Turd Blossom

February 26, 2009 · Posted in Funny and Odd, Government, People in the news, Politics · 1 Comment 

Turn around is not fair play for Turd Blossom. In a recent Wall Street Journal opine, Karl Rove dissected the Presidential Address from Tuesday night and turned and twisted many of the topic points to fit his point. Ok, we say…that’s our Turd Blossom, what else would we expect?

Except he’s complaining that Obama and his speechwriters/policy makers are twisting and turning the facts and representing them in false senses, in order to make a point.

So I ask, is he pissed becasue someone took a page from his playbook? Does he not see the irony in this opinion piece? Or do you think this is his super-duper-double-twist to make it look like Obama is massaging the message when actually HE (Rove) is doing the manipulation, but you just can’t see it he’s masking it with a complaint about inaccuracies?

Hehe, I think its funny Turd Blossom is bitter.

Why I love Ann Coulter

January 13, 2009 · Posted in People in the news, Personal Blogs, Political Figures, Politics, RNC · 6 Comments 

Yep, I enjoy her existence. I don’t particularly care for her persona, her constant desire to be in the limelight or the depths to which she will stoop to be the center of attention, and I certainly don’t agree with a thing she says. So why do I love her?

She’s a constant reminder of why I love my country.

I’m not sure that Ann Coulter has even made a point without bending and stretching the truth as if facts were one of those stress relieving items that just have no purpose in life unless they are twisted and crunched into an unrecognizable mess, but my point is that she can. Her credibility seems to be directly related to the size of her big brass balls. She’s like a bull in the china-shop of truth who after her Tasmanian-devil style rant, comes out with perfectly coiffed hair – no worse for the wear.

She has an audience, her books sell. I’m not sure if anyone actually believes the crap she spews out, but thanks to good ol’ American capitalism, she’s a success.

Not surprising, she has a new book out and she she’s on a press tour for it. Sometimes I think she churns out the books not so much to educate anyone on a particular subject, but merely for the fact of having something to talk about so can go on these press tours. She revels in the arguments she gets into with the liberal media and she tosses her blond tresses in a manner that shows she’s not really listening to the interviewer but knows that her points are crap so she expects the questions and has canned answers ready when she hears key words from the host. But again, she has an audience. Those who love her for her big cojones , and those who hate her existence. She thrives off both.

Truth be told, I can’t watch an interview with her without yelling at the TV. But I watch anyway for a few reasons:

1. Makes me appreciate the fact I’m not in a political group for whom she is a talking head. I couldn’t fathom being a part of an organization or movement that relied on her to get any message across. Her fact-tangling approach to most issues removes any credibility she may have on any relevant agenda item.

2. Gives me things to think about when I’m in a political discussion. Her mannerisms and approach are so polarizing that it’s almost like a “what not to do when trying to make a point and be taken seriously’ seminar.

3. Her confidence. We can learn from her ability to look you straight in the eyes and tell you the sun is bitterly cold and scoff at you when you point out scientific proof that it is, in fact hot, you liberal idiot.

4. I’m rubber and you’re glue whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you, you liberal idiot.

5. She is taking full advantage of her American rights and I hope she truly appreciates it. Nevermind the fact that she’s the two steps back for each step forward good, smart female political pundits  have made (on both sides, thank you) I really hope that she appreciates and thanks whatever god her close-minded little heart worships that someone decided to give  Republican Barbie a microphone and there are people who believe her outrageousness, just because it sounds so far out there, it must be true.

A few of her wonderfully classy quotes:

“I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot.” –at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference

“These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s deaths so much.” -on 9/11 widows who have been critical of the Bush administration (note: nobody, except of course her, who is cashing in on slamming them)

“We need to execute people like (John Walker Lindh) in order to physically intimidate liberals.” (note: she calls Obama ‘B. Hussein Obama’ because of the fear that name instills but you notice she’ll use Walker Lindh and not refer to Bush as ‘G. Walker Bush’”)

“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.”  – Days after September 11 attacks

“Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots.”
“Press passes can’t be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the President.” (note: I find this particularly nasty, its because of women like Ms. Thomas who helped pave the way for women in political reporting)

Seriously Ann, stay classy. And thanks for reminding me how free this country still is.

Give the coat tails a break for now

November 13, 2008 · Posted in DNC, Politics, Things to think about · 1 Comment 

I get a lot of spam each day and I usually mass delete them all. But this one caught my eye: “From: Obama for America <info@barackobama.com>” Subject: “Your Victory T-shirt”.  I’m all for a free t-shirt, I’ve got freebies in my closet from trade shows, gym promotions, 5k runs, and pro sporting events. I rarely wear any of them, but they’re free and you never know when you’ll need that bright orange shirt with a slight entrendre referencing a penetrated network.

I dont have any more CHANGE to give

I don't have any more CHANGE to give

But my Victory t-shirt wasn’t going to be free.  I actually really didn’t think it would be FREEfree, I thought it might require a survey plus shipping fees or whatever. But I was wrong:

But before we take the next step, we need to get our house in order.

The Democratic National Committee poured all of its resources into building our successful 50-state field program. And they played a crucial role in helping Barack win in unlikely states like North Carolina and Indiana. We even picked up an electoral vote in Nebraska.

The DNC took on considerable debt to make this happen.

Make a donation of $30 or more now to help the DNC pay for these efforts, and you’ll get a commemorative 2008 Victory T-shirt.

…As we start laying the groundwork for real change, we need to help the DNC recover the resources it took to win. Please make a donation today and get your 2008 Victory T-shirt

Really? Is NOW the best time to begin that fund raising endeavor again? Have we not just been BOMBARDED with daily spam trying to get money from us for random campaign resources? It was not even a full week since the election and they decided it was appropriate to ask for more money.

It’s like you’d tell a teenager, if you’ve already spent your allowance, you’re not getting any more from me until next time.

I’m a Democrat and I’m thrilled with the newly elected Democrats for Congress and other positions, but please do not brag about the fruit of your efforts and then ask for more money to pay for them so soon. Why don’t we wait to make sure those newbies actually produce results, then you’ll have proof positive that the efforts paid off to get the right people in office and it will be easier to get people to come off with some money.

In today’s economy please don’t try to bleed me dry without showing me results. If these new members get the right things done, then I’ll see that the DNC’s efforts were worthwhile and worthy of financial help.  Remember, it’s not like Congress’ approval rating was sky high before the election, so they don’t really have a good track record on which to base their request for more money….YET.

I have high hopes for this new government and truly believe that they can accomplish great things, but can we please wait at least a few months before asking for money to pay back the organization that got them elected?
