Tyrannical Thursday Truthiness

Excuse me if this is a bit lack luster, lacking wit, or any semblance of being comprehensible. Indiana Jones midnight movie last night, add that to the late nights Monday and Tuesday due to kickball and my body is about to shut down on me. As for Indiana Jones...it just felt like we've seen everything before, and not from an Indiana Jones movie. You had pieces of American Graffiti, Return of the Jedi, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Amazing Stories. I swear we thought we were going to hear this near the end of the movie. There were some fun parts, and it was nice to see Marion back, but it just seemed to be missing that Indy spark that the other films have. Also, don't get me started as how it may throw out all the built up mythology because Lucas needs his space shit. Anyways, onto the news.

Ah Chuck Hagel still about the only Republican in the Senate that gets any kind of respect from me. He's what Republicans used to and should be.

Ah the Republican Party, still white washing candidates like they were Tom Sawyer painting a fence. Well, I suppose when you're bread and butter in certain places in the country wear white sheets one does what it has to do.

This one line sums up a great deal between the difference between the Republicans and Democrats.

I wonder how long before someone at Fox places Israel in that group of people who are acting like "Nazi appeasers".

Some Hillary Supporters need to get over themselves and realize that not voting for Obama in the general election means voting for a misogynistic and disrespectful old man who will likely put a judge into the Supreme Court who will overturn Roe v Wade.

I don't care who you are, but McPOW not being drug over the coals for HIS supporter pastor for making this kind of comment shows the bias in the media today when it comes to the candidates.

It is reassuring that some Foxs and Scullys created a file outlining the war crimes taking place at Gitmo. What saddens me is that no one will ever be brought to justice for the injustice of it all.

American Airlines continues to be the worst airline in America announcing thousand of job cuts and new charges for everything from your luggage to each individual piece of toilet paper you use. If they last through a year, I'll be shocked.

Maniacal Monday Truthiness

Fun weekend was had, and before the rumors start, yes I was watching Lifetime Movie Network at 2 in the morning. Why, because they were showing Murder in New Hampshire: The Pamela Wojas Smart Story staring Helen Hunt and Dr. Fever. This is the same case that inspired To Die For, which gave us that scene of Nicole Kidman dancing in the rain, and the story itself has always fascinated me. The most fascinating thing was that it was made in 1991 and I realized that Helen Hunt hasn't changed her hair in twenty years.

Ollie North, spreading bullshit and nonsense and still not a day served behind bars, God Bless America.

Obama is rolling out a new initiative aimed at those Christians who don't drink the Kool Aid, you know those who keep their faith and religion personal not political.

Senator Joe Biden loves to point out that the actual "appeasers" are in fact the Secretaries of Defense and State. Of course this administration is listen to what we say not watch what we do.

I know there are old law on the books, but sometimes they can be very beneficial. I know if the Sergeant-At-Arms needs any assistance there are folks in the immediate hill area who would love to introduce Rove to his own Private Guantanamo.

I know the Middle East and the West have many differences, but paying for sex apparently isn't one of them.

Bush's torture policies, screwing up one case at a time. Got this nagging feeling they care more about convictions then actually getting the right people, call me crazy but it may just be possible.

This weekend was the anniversary of Galloway versus the US Senate. This is what I miss on the Hill, something we don't see, passion.

Just a reminder that, for Dubya, this is a crusade and that God is a two timing whore.

I just wish some of these riders in DC would be courageous as this Cowboy fan.

John McPOW's Karl Rove may be the next lobbyist type person to fall from his campaign. Didn't he get the memo that being surrounded by lobbyists doesn't help all your talk of being against them?

That complete waste of space, Hans von Spakovsky, has finally removed his name from the FEC chair nomination. Which of course is awesome, since putting him in charge would have been the same as putting a pedophile in charge of a day care center.

Waxman draws another line in the sand, has now drawn so many on the House Floor that it looks like this.

Though he is on the campaign trail, Obama still finds time to fight the good fight for veterans all over America.

I'm sorry for what happened to the child, but there is no reason to get all sue happy because of a freak accident.

Finally, speaking of baseball, here's something for those ladies out there in the audience.

That's right, Bob Uecker baby.

Frantic Friday Truthiness

I'm confused on this so maybe CityCat and Dewey can explain it to me. On the one hand if you don't have anything to get you in trouble on it, ok whatever, just another government power grab. The other issue becomes what is discussed, how do you protect your client's information from such a search?

A great post about misogny and sexism in regards to the treatment of Hillary Clinton during her campaign. This has been coming from all sides, but at least she will still get votes for the color of her skin, unlike some people.

Ah America, land of the free, where one can work, as long as one doesn't have a foreign sounding name. I'm guessing no English students like a John Smith or Harry Beckham would be denied.

If you don't speak English I don't suggest that you fly into Dulles any time soon. This is absolutely ridiculous and offensive that this man has been held, just for not speaking English. It shouldn't shock us too much, he flew into an airport that is in the state where the Confederacy had its capital.

For the first time in a long time Chris Matthews actually had some balls last night on Hardball. Finally, someone other then KO holding these talking point gasbags to flames and proving they have no clue in hell just what they're talking about; that they're repeating whatever they've been given.

The big talk thought has been about Bush's appeasement statement about Obama. Well, to quote Joe Biden on it, this is bullshit. Nancy Pelosi had some words as well.

California is thinking about a heavy tax on porn to help its budget shortfall. Great idea guys, have the porn industry then base itself out of Delaware, like every other corporation.

Finally, John Conyers is ready to throw down with Karl Rove if he doesn't show up to testify within a week. I imagine we'll see this for the rest of Bush's term, with the DoJ compliant with the administration. As soon as Obama becomes President, watch how all these pieces of shit run off to the best country they can find that has no extradition.
