Republicans are desperate for bodies

And they finally realized – African Americans traditionally vote with Democrats, but they aren’t all liberal. In fact, many are quite religious. So it’s no wonder a light came on and they decided to tap into that demographic by appointing an Obama style GNC leader. Black voting blocks (likely hitting record highs at the polls [...]

Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been “ousted” from office

Darn. The circus is over. This was so much fun.
SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (CNN) — The Illinois Senate has voted unanimously to remove Gov. Rod Blagojevich from office.

Fewer Girl Scout cookies. And I’m glad.

Peanut butter jars are now designed to hold less peanut butter, to deceive buyers. Cereal boxes aren’t as wide suddenly. Girl Scout cookies cost the same for a box, but you get fewer cookies. Normally I would stop buying products from companies trying to nickel and dime consumers through these practices. But I have a [...]

**Groan** Drum major from Obama’s inaugural parade suspended, quits

This is the US. It’s not the UK. Obama isn’t royalty, he’s President. Being friendly isn’t a crime. Whoever imposed this suspension needs to be fired.

(CNN) — An Ohio man who was suspended as the drum major of a band for giving President Obama a nod during last week’s inaugural parade is calling it quits.

A virus that causes obesity?

Complete and utter nonsense. Of course this virus is found mostly in overweight people. Overweight people are unhealthy, their bodies are sick, they’re overeating and undernourished. I know because I used to be a fatty! If you’re overweight and want to be healthy, and rid of 90% of the sicknesses that affect people in the [...]

Blagojevich plays the Oprah card

Around 5:12 minutes. This guy is an evil genius madman. He should have appointed BFF (best friend forever) Gayle to the Senate seat. Then he could go on the Orpah show. Then no one would touch him. Diane Sawyer was really trying to hammer him into a corner so she [...]

Blatant statue fondling at the SAG awards

I had a moment when I realized, no one votes for the best technical acting skills. Yeah, I know. Duh.
We knew Sean Penn would win. If you want an award, play a gay, a mentally ill person, a crazy person or a serial killer. They can’t find a gay actor in Hollywood?
I love Meryl Streep. [...]

Photos of Clay Aiken kissing boyfriend Reed Kelly

Click here for the TMZ article.

Tyra Banks clip – straight men who are “gay for pay” (think Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, only adult entertainment)

Blagojevich’s attorney quits

This attorney helped do what I thought was the impossible. I don’t give Blago enough cleverness to play the race card, nominate a senator and actually get him appointed – while under intense scrutiny and investigation. While going head to head with Senate leaders. Letting go of this attorney could mean he’s being represented by [...]

The new White House website and what it says about civil rights

The top half of the page skims over general rights regarding racism, women’s rights, and sexual orientation. Then it goes into “Support for the LGBT Community.” (which means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) Unless you’re gay or transgender, you likely won’t have a clue what the T stands for. And they didn’t spell it out. Hiding [...]

Mariah Carey storms out after finding out she wouldn’t be seated with the Obama family at the inauguration

Even Oprah has been known to hang out with the riff-raff commoners, keeping it real. This has to be made up. People don’t act like that in real life. I hope.
Mariah Carey, who performed at the Neighborhood Ball for President and Michelle Obama, was “furious” when she found out where she’d be seated for the [...]

Hiden Joe Biden’s memory isn’t as good as Justice Roberts’

I saw this a day or two ago and forgot to add it. For lack of a better word, it’s fun watching Obama get “pissy” with Biden, the gaffemaster. What Would Jesus Do? Would he get visibly annoyed? Someone better step up and write the Joe Biden equivalent of Bushisms. There’s money to be made [...]

Obama acknowledges Rush Limbaugh (just ignore the big elephant in the room)

Do Republicans on Capital Hill actually take Limbaugh seriously? That’s like Nancy Pelosi saying she rushes home so she can catch the Rachel Maddow Show. Of course Obama can get things done. He’s the President, twice sworn-in. Democrat majority. He has twice as much power now as Bush had. His approval rating is bordering 3 [...]

Rene Zellweger accepts Hillary Clinton’s NY Senate seat

I kid. But it’s good to see someone got the job because they worked their way up, not because they’re a Kennedy. I’m a bit concerned over the fact that people are being replaced by their “type.” If you’re a black male you’re replaced with a black male. If you’re a white female, you’re being [...]

Looks like Heath Ledger will win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor

Not much competition in his category. I don’t see Robert Downey Jr. stealing the Oscar in an upset.
However, despite eight Oscar nominations, “The Dark Knight” — 2008’s box-office king — only picked up one in a major category, that for Heath Ledger’s performance as the villainous Joker. The late actor, who died exactly one year [...]

*GROAN* “President Elect Obama” takes the oath AGAIN

Was this really necessary? If some crazed conservative decided to sue Obama, it would just be overturned because John Roberts is the Chief Justice in the nation. I didn’t hear a single rumbling from any source that any person planned on challenging this. Do we get to re-analyze Michelle Obama’s dress today?
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President [...]

Thank GOD Caroline Kennedy is withdrawing from Senate consideration

There are way too many big problems that can’t be cured by just being an “icon.”
UPDATE: The NY Post now says Caroline Kennedy withdrew because she was removed from consideration. That’s like quitting right after you’re fired from your job.
Sources said the reason Paterson had decided not to tap the daughter of John F. Kennedy [...]

Any thoughts on what W. Bush’s note to Obama said?

Were there any missing Os on any typewriters? 10 minutes is a long note.

Obama arrived in the Oval Office at 8:35 a.m., according to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. The president spent 10 minutes alone, reading a note left for him in the desk by outgoing President George W. Bush. The note had been [...]

First Woman Michelle Obama’s Isabelle Toledo gold inauguration outfit

My first thought was, it looks too much like a Jackie Kennedy inauguration outfit. Except for that, I actually LOVE the outfit. The green shoes were iffy. Not so bad since they match her gloves. Could she be turning into fashion’s equivalent of Princess Di? I know hardly anyone cared much about what Laura Bush [...]

Watch Obama say he’s prepared, then mess up his inaugural oath

Senator Edward Kennedy has seizure and convulsions during luncheon

He was sitting at the same table with John Kerry and Walter Mondale when it happened. This is a shock because one newscaster noted earlier that Kennedy looked great considering all he’s been through with the brain tumor of late.
WASHINGTON — Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who is ill with brain cancer, collapsed at the Inauguration [...]

A Left-Handed President Takes Reign

Ding. Dong. The Witch is dead.

Hudson River Flight 1549 – Had serious engine problem two days before the bird incident

If this is coincidence, I’m never flying in a plane again. It sounds like there was a bigger problem that wasn’t solved. Then it became catastrophic. Then they blamed it on the birds.

“It seemed so loud, like luggage was hitting the side but times a thousand. It startled everyone on the [...]

Dick Cheney injures back, will be seated in a wheelchair at the Obama inauguration

How symbolic.
Vice President Cheney will be in a wheelchair for tomorrow’s inauguration ceremony, the White House said tonight, after he pulled a muscle in his back.
Cheney was moving into his new house in McLean from the Naval Observatory when he hurt his back moving boxes, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said.

VP Joe Biden’s wife Jill Biden decided Hillary Clinton would be Sec. of State?

This opens a can of worms. Does this mean Hillary was actually one of two people being considered for the VP position all along? And Jill Biden was the reason Hillary wasn’t offered the job?

Rush Limbaugh: “I Hope Obama Fails.”

I think I’ll let Rush do the talking on this one.
Look, what he’s talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care.  I do not want the government in charge of [...]

Sad News: Mr. Roarke from Fantasy Island Dies

A favorite childhood show of mine, following Love Boat on Friday pizza nights.

Montalban rose to prominence as one of the most visible Hispanic actors in post-war Hollywood in the 1950s and 1960s. But his star grew as he took on television roles as the mysterious host Mr. Roarke on the hit drama “Fantasy Island” and [...]

Stop complaining about Bush – you idiots voted for him

Yes, I know I wasn’t the only one who knew Bush was CLEARLY the worst candidate possible from the beginning. Yes, you can argue Katherine Harris decided the election and Al Gore actually won round 1. But during round 2, after you had seen him in action for a couple years, you went back and [...]
