I'm Going To Try Something

I'm going to employ the technique called "distancing myself" that politicians like Obama are using.

I'd like to "distance myself" from my former spouse. That means I will not be "asked about him."

I'm going to "distance myself" from all of my debts. I told Chase and the IRS that I strongly wished to "no longer be associated with them" nor "asked about them."

I'm going to "distance myself" from my age. Birthdays are done. I strongly wished to "no longer be associated with them" nor "asked about them."

Thanks to: Ace for the idea!

Dear Barry

Relationship advice from Illinois Senator Barack Obama

Posted by Rosemary on 04.30.2008. 1 Comments 0 Trackbacks
"They offend me. They rightly offend all Americans."

I can honestly say that I finally found something that Barack Obama and I agree on. Finally, the man is OUTRAGED by Rev. Wright.

Laboring to contain damage to his presidential candidacy, Obama said Wright's recent appearances had left him angry and sad. He accused his spiritual mentor of exploiting racism and "giving comfort to those who prey on hate" at a time when the Illinois Democrat is vowing to bring the nation together. And he strongly took issue with some of the pastor's more controversial remarks.

"When he states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions as the U.S. government somehow being involved in AIDS, when he suggests Minister Farrakhan somehow represents one of the greatest voices of the 20th and 21st centuries, when he equates the United States' wartime efforts with terrorism -- there are no excuses," Obama said. "They offend me. They rightly offend all Americans."

Wright is exploiting racism and I've been saying that from the very beginning. Giving comfort to those that prey on hate... That's as close as you can get to calling someone a traitor and I don't mean traitor to the country. In this case, Rev. Wright is betraying Obama's cause and his trust.

Obama Can't Get Away from Minister Wright...

Wright stands by his racially charged remarks. I'm pretty sure Obama is wishing that the Rev. Wright issue would just fade away; but it looks to me that Rev. Wright is angling to be the next Al Sharpton.

The Rev. Dwight Hopkins of the University of Chicago Divinity School said he has known Wright for a number of years. Though Wright was "speaking about his own experiences . . . I also think he spoke as a representative of a lot of black churches in America" who view the criticism of him as a collective attack.

Yes, and that is what has so many people upset. Many people in the black community feel like any attack on Wright is an attack on them. On the flip side, many whites feel that Rev. Wright's statements are an attack on them and that Obama may be playing politician by "distancing" himself but that he agrees with Wright. Hard to know for sure and that lack of trust is translating into trouble for Obama's message of bridging any divides, about hope and change, etc. It will make it more difficult for Obama to wrest away disaffected white working-class voters from Hillary Clinton.

But the Rev. Eugene Rivers, a Boston community activist, was less impressed. Though he called Wright "a good man" who has done lots of good in his 40 years in the ministry, Rivers said his speaking tour "has had the unintended consequence of throwing Senator Obama's campaign under the bus." Obama, Rivers said, has tried to be loyal by not disowning Wright, but Wright's decision to speak out is undermining Obama's message of unity.

Yes, he is making it harder for Obama and he doesn't seem to care. So I ask, is Wright just a guy looking to make himself famous or is he really concerned about bridging the divide between whites and blacks that he himself has helped widen?

Spoil, Don’t Spank …

By: Mr. Wonderful

My parents did me a disservice. I grew up in a time when children where scolded and sometimes spanked for misbehaving. What this did was teach us respect, cause and effect and personal responsibility. If mom and dad were really concerned about my well being, they would’ve spoiled me … the way many parents spoil their children these days.

I now realize that lack of deserved discipline does not necessarily lead to undesired behavior in children. And that’s made me ponder the huge disadvantage my parents shackled me with, especially after I was spanked for setting the bushes in front of the house on fire at the age of 12. Hence, I’ve developed my “Six Rules of Modern Parenting,” which are designed to not only undue the damage of countless numbers of years of children being spanked by cruel and vicious parents, but to also act as a guide for today’s parents and those considering becoming parents. After all, children truly are the future, so let’s start teaching them and let them lead the way!

Carter Can't Take A Hint

And if they did tell him not to go...he'd start crying about being bullied by Bush

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Tuesday refuted a statement by former president Jimmy Carter that no one in the U.S. government told him not to go on a trip to the Middle East, where he met with the leadership of the militant group Hamas.

"I just don't want there to be any confusion," Rice told reporters outside an international meeting on Iraq she is attending here. "The United States is not going to deal with Hamas, and we certainly told President Carter that meeting with Hamas was not going to help" the situation in the Middle East.

Carter has said he met with Assistant Secretary of State C. David Welch, who indicated that the trip was not advisable but did not tell him not to go.

Aren't there houses to build? Does he really need to go bopping about the Middle East talking to terrorists and trying to cut peace deals? Didn't he used to have a job that was like that a long time ago? Oh right, he did and he SUCKED AT IT!

Move on, Jimmah! The United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists. That's like a policy or something...

A Solution for Public Schools

I just read an interesting idea on how to fix our public school system over at Over at Adam's Wall.

We need to stop funding schools and start funding children. We are spending about $10,000 per student nationwide. You give that money to the parents in the form of a voucher and the parents are free to put their kids into whatever type of school they believe will do the best job educating them.

All kids learn differently so why are we trying to find a one size fits all version of a school for every child. It makes no sense what so ever.

Now, I know it’s not practical to send every kid from all of the inner city high schools to 1 or 2 really goods schools in the suburbs that may be 30 miles away. Some parents still wouldn’t be able to send their kids to a better school because they don’t have the means to transport them to a school so far away.

We need to stop looking at schools as buildings. Schools should just be a collection of teachers. Think of a school building as something similar to a mall. Where different schools can setup shop in the same building.

You should read the whole thing. Considering the state our school system is in and the fact that more money is never enough, it's nice to see someone come up with a way besides just saying "vouchers" to address the problem.

Better Than Bush?

Obama says McCain would be better than Bush.

Odd thing to say when he's been going around equating McCain to Bush. It's almost like he saying that his earlier criticisms about McCain...aren't true. Could it be that Obama has no ability to discern? Or did he just get slip and speak the truth?

Art Trivializes Life

Yale Art major Aliza Shvarts '08 wants to make a statement.

Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself "as often as possible" while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process.

The artist said, "I hope it inspires some sort of discourse," Shvarts said. "Sure, some people will be upset with the message and will not agree with it, but it's not the intention of the piece to scandalize anyone."

Good thing she said that because we wouldn't want to mistake her intent. Trivialize surely but not scandalize. Oh, no, we wouldn't want to mistake her message. BTW, I love how they said "forced miscarriages". What's wrong? Are we having trouble saying ABORTIONS? Does it sound nicer to call it "forced miscarriages"? Yeah, probably but I'm not falling for it. There is nothing "nice" about this "art" project.

It's disgusting, disturbing and does nothing to advance the argument that women have abortions because they "need them" and they don't do them lightly. They wouldn't have abortions for trivial reasons like birth control or FUCKING ART PROJECTS.

No, clearly, this woman had "health issues".

It’s Alive … And With Child!

By: Mr. Wonderful

If women being turned into men weren’t shocking enough, now these modern-day Frankenstein’s monsters are having babies!

I’m sure you’ve all heard about “Pregnant Man,” as it’s the talk of the town and the latest cause célèbre for the left. Thomas Beatie, a female who had a sex change operation to become male but decided to keep its reproductive organs is now pregnant and expecting a daughter with its wife, Nancy Roberts, in July. This is great news for the liberals who see it as the final frontier in challenging the status quo. Those with common sense who are concerned with the child’s welfare, however, might see things differently.

Best Argument Against Global Warming Hysteria EVER!

And it comes from Ara Rubyan:

As for your historical analysis, I prefer to live my life on this earth, in this time, in the reality based world — not in the world to come.

Your acceptance of today (based on the hope of a better tomorrow 100 years from now) is the result of a cruel trick being played on you by those who want to steal your freedom from you now, while you are busy dreaming of the future.

Wake up, Jerry: it's time for school.

P.S. The future is now.

As Drew Carey once said, "Fuck the grandkids, I'm cold NOW!" Then he sprayed aerosol cans into the air during a bitter Ohio winter.

Halfrican-American?

My good friend Baldilocks has an interesting question for people that don't think Obama is a true "African-American because his father was from Africa and not a descendant of slaves.

Here's a quandary for all you hair-splitters on things don't matter: since my mother is an American descendant of Africans brought to the US to be slaves but my biological father is an African, does that make me "half African-American?"

This is one area that I actually don't have an argument with Obama on. I think the term African American is annoying because it is not an accurate term. Africa is a continent not a country and it does not attribute accurately to most black people in this country because honestly, we are the melting pot. But, if black people prefer African-American to just plain old American, that's up to them. I'm just glad everyone doesn't do that. I have a friend that would be Cherokee-Irish-German-Polish-Russian-Spanish-British-French-Japanese American. If everytime someone was asked if they were an American and the person had to launch into a dissertation to respond, that would get old quick.

So, basically, who cares if Obama is or isn't a American African-America or just plain old African-American; he's still not qualified to be President.

I'm A Bitter...

Small town girl that "survived" the Clinton and Bush years. Yes, that must be why I am clinging to what my country stands for. My Constitutional Rights, Freedom of Religion and belief in the rule of law.

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are going to regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations," according to the Washington Post.

Actually, I'm pro-trade. I mean I think free trade and competition are important! I'm also pro-immigration, it would be foolish to be against the very thing that that allowed me and my family to be here. I am against cheating to get here. I've always been against cheaters. I think that illegal immigration is bad for the country because it hurts those of us who want to work and can't find a job. It's also bad for the "worker" because they get exploited. It's only good for business and people that like exploiting people - like rich liberals in places like California that want cheap childcare and lawn service; and don't want to fork over the funds to pay for social security and other taxes that they want the rest of us to pay... Cheap fucks!

So, Obama steps in it and proves once again that he isn't ready for Prime Time and that he is just another liberal elitist snob. Big shock!

Nothing Is Guaranteed

Alicia Keys is one of my favorite singers. Her ability to write songs with such depth and feeling allows us to really think when we hear them. I heard the song that I linked below the other day and it got me thinking. I started thinking about all the couples separated temporarily by War, by geography and even worse permanently by death. "Like You'll Never See Me Again" offers good advice to everyone who is in love. There are no guarantees in this life, something could happen to change your world in a split second.

We Hurt China's Feelings

By passing a Congressional resolution.

An indignant China said Friday the U.S. "seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people" when Congress passed a resolution calling on Beijing to stop cracking down on Tibetan dissent and talk to the Dalai Lama. [...] Meanwhile, state media labeled a group linked to the Dalai Lama's India-based government-in-exile a "terrorist organization." China claims that recent anti-Chinese protests were part of a violent campaign to overthrow Chinese rule and sabotage this summer's Beijing Olympics.

Duuuude! The Dalai Lama has a terrorist group? How is that even possible? Do the Chinese feel terrorized by peaceful protests and prayers? Is that why they run in there with guns blazing? Yeah, it's the Buddhists that have violent tendencies. Everyone knows that...

Whatever. Let me add, boofuckinghoo!

America Needs A 12-Step Program

As a recovering alcoholic, Glenn Beck, thinks that a good 12 Step program can help this country cease it's destructive path and spiral towards suicide.

Through hard work and unwavering principles, America took itself from a far-fetched idea to the greatest, most compassionate, most free country the world has ever known. But as our success has grown, so has our arrogance.

We've compromised our values, sold out our principles and used our freedoms to justify giving more power to the government. In the first century of America's life, its government was afraid of its citizens. Now, it's the other way around.

Glenn also knows that Americans are too lazy to do 12 Steps; so he came up with 6:

Monkeys and Buffalo and Barry, Oh My!

By: Mr. Wonderful

Thank you Barry Obama – thank you for proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that you’re a typical liberal willing to pander to the fascist notion of “political correctness.”

After delivering a rousing speech on race that, for a minute even had me fooled, Barack Obama turns around and sacrifices free speech for the comforts of political correctness, and all in the name of race. Barry the “great American” decided to ask one of his delegates and supporters to step down after she was accused at making a “racist” comment. While the comment was laughable and the accusation of racism a stretch, to say the least, the implications this incident has to the future of the First Amendment in this country is nothing to laugh at. His actions, as well as the actions of others involved in this case illustrate how our right to free speech is being replaced with state-sponsored Political Correctness. A disturbing thought, indeed!

"We Need More White People"

That is what was heard at a Michelle Obama campaign event.

Via: The Tartan student newspaper: While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obama’s event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama. The Tartan’s correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, “Get me more white people, we need more white people.” To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”

“I didn’t know they would say, ‘We need a white person here,’ ” said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. “I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn’t know it would be so outright.”

Politics as usual but I think that Jeralyn is right. If someone from Hillary's campaign demanded more black people, this would be covered 24/7 by the cable news and all over network news. All we'd hear about was how racist and manipulative the Clinton camp is.

What do you think?

A Failure of Leadership...

John McCain bitch slaps the Democrats.

"I do not believe that anyone should make promises as a candidate for president that they cannot keep if elected," he said. "To promise a withdrawal of our forces from Iraq, regardless of the calamitous consequences to the Iraqi people, our most vital interests and the future of the Middle East, is the height of irresponsibility" and "a failure of leadership."

No, duh...

That's what I'm talking about. No experience = bad decisions. I've had enough of that. I want more than just platitudes about hope from the next President. Is it really too much to ask that people tell you exactly what they plan to do? Is it too much that they tell you the truth? I'm sick to death of being sold a pretty package full of nothing.

John McCain may not be young or pretty but I know that he means what he says. Despite the fact that I don't agree with him more than 60% of the time, at least that 60% is solid.

Will We Ever Have A Candidate...

That isn't afraid to say that allowing gays to marry is fine. Even Sir "Hope and Change" can't mange to be in favor of full marital rights for same sex couples. It's always the same civil union canard.

If you are fine with 14 year olds having abortions without parental consent; how much worse do you think being pro-same sex marriage will be for you?

Seriously, in my mind, I find it offensive that people think that parental rights stop when their pet political issue is on the line. And while I understand that people have "issues" with same sex marriage, I don't give a rat's ass. Two loving adults want to make a commitment to each other, to spend their lives in a faithful union...I just don't understand how promoting family, fidelity and love is worse than underage abortions and gun bans.

I just don't get it.

Still in Love...

Bush and Putin aren't quite over. Dude, I thought they were so last year...

The personal chemistry between Bush and Putin has weathered severe rows between their two countries and was on display again as the U.S. leader held a farewell summit on the Black Sea a month before Putin steps down.

Speaking to reporters at Putin's vacation retreat, Bush said they worked to "find ways to be agreeable when we disagree".

"You're not afraid to tell me what's on your mind. And when it's all said and done, we can shake hands," Bush told Putin on Saturday.

Putin spoke warmly of "George".

"I always appreciated his superior human qualities: honesty, openness and ability to hear a partner," said Putin, standing beside the U.S. leader at a news conference after their meeting on Sunday. "This is worth a lot."

Awwww, isn't that sweet? They still have feelings for each other despite the very public break up they had a few years back... Personally, I'm not that forgiving. Don't get me wrong, I can be very forgiving but one thing will insure that I seek retribution. Airing my intimate/private business in public. Embarrass me publicly and you'll be looking for your testicles to the ends of the earth and you won't find them...because they will have already been digested by the first carnivore I bumped into.

Charleton Heston, R.I.P.

Charlton Heston died Saturday night at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. He was 83.

He was one of my favorites. I loved Ben Hur, The 10 Commandments and The Planet of the Apes. When I'm feeling frisky, I quote Heston: “From my cold, dead hands!” that line works for so many things...

Mr. Heston was suffering from Alzheimer's and now his suffering has ended. No actor could overact the way Charleton Heston did, he will be missed.

A Public Service Message

Daily showers are not a health hazard. That myth was debunked long ago and they are generally recommended for public health and courtesy. If you can't manage it, try washing your tops and tails, eh?

While there has been talk of risks associated with use of anti-perspirants/deodorants, there is a bigger health risk associated with driving, drinking, drug use, being an asshole in public, saying inappropriate remarks in a room full of drunks, and eating poorly.

Please, for the love of humanity and those of us with oversensitive olfactory senses, use some. That green cloud that surrounds you isn't your awesome aura, it's your aroma and it reeks.

That is all...

That's Love

Woman credits hubby with rescue from croc:

Wendy Petherick said the reptile clamped its jaws down on her leg while she was in waist-deep water and attempted to pull her under, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported Thursday.

"For a croc that size, a two-meter (6.5 foot) croc, and being a little person I had to fight back," she said. "He would have dragged me, death rolled me and killed me. He just grabbed me by the leg, if he would have grabbed me up towards my stomach, I reckon I would have been dead."

She said the croc gave up on trying to make her into a snack after her husband, Norm Moreen, jumped on the beast and attacked its eyes. Petherick said she likely would have died without the rescue. "There's no time for fears you see, when you want to save someone, especially the one you love," Moreen said.

That story reminds me of my late and most beloved Buttons. Talk about love... I know it's weird but my dog saved my son's life and he did it out of love. I'm sure I told this story before but since I just had a flashback...you get one too!

The "L" Word

Obama is dismissive about being called a liberal.

When it comes to being labeled "a liberal," Barack Obama is dismissive. "Oh, he's liberal. He's liberal," he said recently in describing a characterization of him by Republicans. "Let me tell you something. There's nothing liberal about wanting to reduce money in politics. It's common sense. . . . There's nothing liberal about wanting to make sure that everybody has health care."

I'm Glad I'm Not A Buddhist

I went outside to put out some trash and get a breath of fresh air. So, I'm standing there and looking out at the grass when I feel something on my foot.

I don't know why but a chipmunk was sitting on my foot. Yep a cute little chipmunk and what did I do? I instinctively kicked out. The poor little sucker flew about 50 feet through the air and I have no idea where it landed.

I hope I didn't kill it...

This is not an April Fool's Joke. I wish it were - I can't stop picturing that poor little chipmunk. He wanted to be friends and I sent him to the moon. I know he was cursing my ass.

I'm glad I'm not a Buddhist...

Great Burger!

Chili's Jalepeno Smokehouse Bacon Cheeseburger

I ordered this sucker Sunday afternoon, when the family went to Chili's. It's really freakin' huge - the meat was almost an inch thick and it was charred a bit. I ate 1/4th of it there, actually not even the full 1/4th. It's so yummy. I finally finished it today. That was all I ate yesterday.

The only problem this burger had was the fact that it had a stupid tomato on it. I know I told her to hold the tomato - I hate them on my burgers. Yes, I HATE them. Just in case you weren't sure. Yes, I pulled it off but it left a tomato wetness behind...

Whatever.

I'm Curious

When did Socialism become a bad thing? What is wrong with the government running our lives? They know what is best for us? I want socialized medicine, I want higher taxes, I want to be told how to live.

I can't make these decisions for myself. I'd prefer if the government did it for me. They know what's best.

OBAMA/GORE '08

Actually, Obama is so awesome that he doesn't NEED a VP.

Did I mention that I love Obama?

I hope he picks Al Gore to be his running mate!

This Isn't Supposed to be Funny...But

Darth Vadar beats the sith out of a "Jedi Master"

Jedi Master Jonba Hehol - known to family and friends as Barney Jones, 36, of Holyhead - was giving a TV interview in his back garden for a documentary when a man, dressed in a black bin-bag and wearing Darth Vader's trademark shiny black helmet, leapt over his garden fence.

Wielding a metal crutch - his lightsaber presumably being in for repairs - the Sith Lord proceeded to lay about his opponent, whose Jedi powers proved inadequate for the task of defending himself.

After besting Master Hehol in single combat, Vader, who The Sun reports was under the influence of alcohol, went on to assault the camera crew and a hairdresser.

Master Hehol, a hairdresser, who founded the first-ever British Jedi Church in loving homage to the world-famous science fiction franchise with his brother Daniel, was unimpressed by the revenge of the Sith.

"This wasn't a joke. This was serious," he said.

Police are investigating a claim of assault.

Again, I know this was serious, really I do. Still... I. Can't. Stop. Laughing. Please click the link and look at the photo!
