Season's Beatings, 2013

 

The most effective thing President Obama has done for the country is to bring the races together.  Not. Unfortunately, the races often seem to have gathered into their own focus groups, intent upon fulfilling culture-specific goals which have nothing whatsoever to do with blending into the American melting pot.  But I guess the president's praise of multiculturalism means I should stand up and cheer.

Black-on-black male youth violence is nothing new, and if I listened to the hate-filled music infiltrating the black "community" day after day, coupled with Obama's euphemisms of sweet socialistic nothings, maybe I'd be intent upon kicking some butt myself, but now the virus of violence, as many viruses do, has altered into new form called "the knockout game" by some.  That is, cities from coast to coast regularly report instances of black youth beating into submission or death white males and females.  Hate crimes?  Of course not, how dare you even think it!?  I realize "Obamacare" appears to have death panels imbedded within its evil pages, but I never would have guessed gangs of primarily urban black youth would initiate some form of the Adorable  -- oops, I mean, Affordable -- Health Care Act even before the government could start the machine.

While threats of prison sentences and warnings backed up by nothing will be the inevitable result, the truth is that until troubled / impoverished / angry black youth choose their heroes more carefully -- and how that will happen, I've no clue -- and substitute black role models who became successful through hard work, as opposed to thuggish music "stars" of the moment who ultimately contribute nothing but racist hatred and really, really bad choices, there can be no rest in the streets, and violent young cowards without a cause will continue to invoke mayhem cloaked in blood behind the harmless word, game.  Yes, just like on the "playing field," the altar of worship to anything called a sport, a game.  Just a game.  With virulent videos often a bonus.  It only took a few years to go from Candid Camera to the killer-cam.

The only funny part of this ongoing outrage, if that's even possible, was an article in USA Today by a vastly misinformed, if not subconsciously self-misinformed, reporter claiming "the knockout game" to be only an urban myth.  A quick review of numerous "knockout" news reports all over the country easily proves otherwise and, of course, the prez says nothing to help.  He didn’t help the Iranian people with firm words of support when they took to the streets, so why would we expect anything better in this instance?  This Administration is a knockout game.

Wasn't LBJ's "Great Society" program supposed to solve inner city problems and make life a bustling paradise for city residents?  And if immigration “reform” goes forward, black youth unemployment and frustration is bound to increase substantially.  Wasn’t there a news report a few months ago about Hispanic gangs literally terrorizing and chasing black families out of Oakland, CA? 

STARTING EARLY:  People magazine, certainly a paragon of hard-hitting journalism (if by journalism one means mindless celebrity revelations), has selected NY governor Andrew Cuomo as its sexiest 55-year-old man.  I beg to differ.  What People has done is to help put a Cuomo image contrivance out in front to aid Democrat aspirations for the presidency in 2016.  As Queen of Benghazi Hillary Clinton's VP, of course.  Thanks to NY City, and to hell with the rest of the state, Cuomo's popularity may be on the rise -- mainly because NY City folk love being endlessly regulated by government, and this couldn't be more true since their recent overwhelming selection of a proud socialist variety as mayor.  The thing about Cuomo is, like every good progressive, he wants to control every hair on our heads, as he's already proven with extreme gun legislation, plowed through by his willing accomplices in the dead of night, with no public discussion or input.  Cuomo as president?  May the party faithful come to their senses quickly.

IRAN ALL THE WAY HOME JUST TO SAY I'M NOT SORRY:  So hasty is Obama for something to crow about in the midst of a second sorry-ass term that he instructed willing minions and lapdogs to whip up an agreement for peace in our time with those in Iran for whom peace is a crime.  Looks as though Iran doesn't really believe there are any limits on nuclear material production or use, despite the secret Obama/Kerry negotiations which pretty much told Israel in no many words to take a dirt nap.  In fact, Iran and North Korea reportedly still labor to put their dangerous little heads together to come up with a radioactive glow sufficient to light up the world one day.  Obama and reluctant state governors everywhere should just allow citizens to own any and all the guns we wish, because the incompetently cunning Obama bunch just gave Iran -- and by default, North Korea --  permission to blow up anything that moves, including us.  Impeachment and prison, please.  No annoying filibusters required for that.

And speaking of filibusters in the Senate, what a hoot to hear sound bites of the recent past from all those filibuster haters on the progressive Democrat side who originally extolled the virtues of the filibuster.  These multi-faced liars of convenience need to be booted next election by voters whose brains aren't tied in pathetic knots by whatever distractions are taking place on playing fields.  Fans diverted from national scandals by sedating fields of dreams should instead be exposed politically to fields of screams.

Now, the Pope?  He's up with God, but seemingly down on capitalism.  I knew this one appeared too good to be true.  Why does socialism hide behind every corner?  Okay, he needs to insist that the Vatican divest itself of all wealth, including gold and silver thingies, and no more pope-mobile, either.  I'm not Catholic, but Mr. Pope I'll gladly accept a few of those solid-gold Vatican chalices, should you wish to send 'em along, and that way I can do my part to help separate wealth from the truly wealthy -- and the truly wealthy is and always has been The Church.

Obama delays another deadline for Obamacare until, conveniently, after the November 2014 elections, this time for small businesses -- the same people whose employees are poised to lose health care by the millions.  Again, I suggest -- because 100 percent of those who voted for Obamacare in the House of Representatives were Democrats, then 100 percent of those requiring election-time replacement in the House in 2014 are these ladies and gentlemen, for they've no excuse whatsoever for the expensive agenda they perpetrated upon the country.

Lara Logan takes the fall at Sixty Minutes on CBS-TV for less than a truthful (?) report about Benghazi.  Was she ganged-up upon and suspended for the sins of higher-ups?  We don't use those words unwisely, recalling her experience of utter horror and rape in the Middle East as a reporter.  Some ponder if this punishing action was taken to actually protect Obama, or the presumed presidential candidacy of queen of Benghazi, Hillary Clinton.  Logan's critical comments about Obama's Afghanistan policy, Benghazi and radical Islam terrorism -- the words which nobody must utter -- are these a major factor in her suspension?  The name of the rose, by any other name, is still jihad, and when we at last depart Afghanistan Al Qaeda will move back in, obliterating all traces of any possible effective rationale dictated by America's favorite would-be on Pennsylvania Avenue.  When the history books finally get it right someday in a less cluttered political future, this president and his policies should be categorized as equivalent to a pathetic fungal blight on American society, and his associates as intellectual buffoons or dangerously misguided progressive lunatics intent upon centralizing maximum power in Washington.  Historians may also ask why none went to prison, though drooling admiration and protection by the corrupt Fourth Estate, invited to those suspicious "off the record" meetings with the president, may be suggested as a factor.

A PRESIDENTIAL THANKSGIVING:  I can't remember the last time a sitting president spent Thanksgiving visiting a gaggle of criminal aliens enjoying a hunger strike in order to gain sympathy for their cause.  Why didn't Obama (more of a hovering president than a sitting president) spend the day with veterans and other good citizens instead?  Didn't he take an oath to protect us from invaders?  I don't believe the oath suggested that he embrace the enemy, no matter the situation. Politicians of any party who persist in directing these folks toward amnesty -- and one assumes the 11 million figure is vastly in error -- need to be, not thrown, but electorally rocketed out of office on Election Day.  This nonsense is all about votes, nothing else, and all the activist clingers such as Lord Zuckerberg and other idealists who think their wealth, youth or brains somehow give them a right to undo what generations of citizens built before they dropped out of the womb need to consider the legal, not the illegal.  Current immigration laws and the concept of self-deportation should be music to any true American's ear buds.

A CONGRESSIONAL GOOSE-COOKING:  As millions and millions more Americans discover – long before next year’s elections, we hope, whose lords from hell have temporarily hidden the true horrors destined to rise up like mad zombies until after November, ’14 – how expensive and/or disastrous their new health care will be, one’s only recourse is to remember and remember and remember that 100 percent of the Democrats in the House voted for Obamacare, with not one Republican joining in to burn Americans alive. Anybody who believes that physicians of all specialties and other health profession members will put up with lower payments and loads of inevitable new Medicaid patients is dreaming.  At the very least, the quality of medical care will suffer, even as Dems help redistribute the wealth, a major ingredient of the Obamacare heap.

 

Meanwhile, the Senate seems very much poised for change, as potential candidates with a decidedly anti-Democrat fever prepare to take action.

THE VOMIT COMET isn't just a NASA training device, it's also what happened to comet ISON as it neared the sun last week.  More than four billion years old, scientists desperately hoped the stunning cosmic jewel would pass around our sun and then fling itself back into space, thus providing invaluable data regarding secrets of the universe's creation.  Regrettably, the comet approached the sun too closely and seemingly vomited a major portion of itself into disintegration.  Obviously, our local star tempers no love or respect for elderly cometary dignitaries.  Dead comets tell no tales and dead comets leave no tails, so one can only hope enough remains out there to leave a clue or two.  Sorry, science.

Veterans of the Korean War probably should think three or four hundred times about journeying to North Korea to revisit the old digs.  Retracing old memories can be important and self-therapeutic but, really, nobody can guarantee safety in a lunatic asylum when the administrators and staff are more dangerous and cunning than the inmates.

PRISON COLONY:  Regulators and legislators continue to control and defeat the human spirit and inventive essence, probably because these folks administering a hard grip aren't good for anything else, and harbor jealousies for those who are.

Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials, by Joan Bird

This is a very informative and nicely presented book featuring both Montana and United States UFO history.  I reviewed it for my motion picture blog because its contents include the Nicholas Mariana UFO film and its inclusion in the 1956 United Artists release, "U.F.O."  For the full review and a look at the back cover, click on the link:

Captain Obama and his Ship of Fools

Illustration:  Misc. from the Web.  An appropriate alternative to Obamacare ?

 

It seemed as though the movie, Groundhog Day returned to theaters last week when some among the more daring news sources dug out an old sound bite of Hillary Clinton discussing "Hillarycare," the ancestor to "Obamacare."  And what did the queen-by-association of Benghazi promise years ago?  If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.  If you like your insurance company, you can keep your insurance company.  Deja vu for you

There can be little doubt that thousands of pages of health care legislation began their journey decades ago, scripted in a single version for the progressive Democrat-of-the-moment.  Hillary then, Obama now.  Next?  Republican progressives?

Initially, major insurance companies lapped Obamacare up like mother’s milk, planning on millions of customers and mega-millions of dollars.  Not happening at the moment.  Sign-ups are successful, however – well, if signing up for state taxpayer-funded Medicaid can be considered a success.

You young folk who still cling to the cool, youthful, he's just like me image of Obama -- while the "Common Core" agenda-driven education system infiltrates and progressively alters the thinking brain cells of your brothers and sisters, with more than a little help from financial "contributions" from Microsoft and etc. -- need to experience a wake-up shock and realize that you're the poor bastards expected to pay big time for the mess currently known as Obamacare.  But now that this power-grabbing calamity is breaking apart upon the rocks of common sense, clearer minds can only hope that the health care system becomes funded instead by intensive American competition across state lines.  The way this country is supposed to function.  Of course, help those who need help, but let the rest pay reasonable insurance rates and not the monster prices lurking just over Obama's increasingly troubled horizon.

Somehow predictable, it seems, to now find Senator John McCain calling for repeal of  Obamacare, when he was among the first just a few weeks ago to condemn with some very unkind words Senator Ted Cruz's plea and filibuster intended to de-fund this mess.  Six words for you in 2016, Republicans:  Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul.  More than likely, however, the GOP will strive to choose another losing candidate, and uninformed voters with nothing better to do than relieve the boredom of their lives by diverting their attention to polling places, just to get out of the house, clueless about anything but familiar names on the ballot, will continue to return the worst of the worst to Congress.

Meanwhile, House Democrats in interesting numbers appear to be abandoning the hard-line Obamacare love boat like -- we'll be kind and say lemmings -- deserting a sinking ship.  Isn't that fascinating, considering that House votes for this obvious Hindenberg disaster plan were 100 percent Democrat, period, end of story?

Meningitis at Princeton U.  A rare form, you say, Meningitis-B?  May I suggest -- isn't globalization wonderful?  We bring in or, worse, carelessly allow in more Third World people than ever and wonder why unusual diseases just pop up out of nowhere.  It should be abundantly clear by now that this government has aided in littering a once-spectacular nation with immigrants, legal and illegal, who have no intention of becoming true Americans and giving up the horrible lives from which they supposedly escaped in other countries.  Used to be when you came to America you wanted to assimilate and become an American.  No more.  Just look around at the cesspool, as community after community begins to look more like the United Nations gone wild.  The "melting pot" thermostat is set on boil and legal immigrants who truly love the United States continue to rise up little by little, often anonymously and sometimes in fear, and warn that our nation is becoming many of the bad and oppressive things they abandoned and ran from in lands far away.  And the border-jumping criminal aliens from just about any place on the globe?  Common sense dictates that we thank them for disease and illness previously unknown in the U.S.   Did this particular bacteria travel across borders?  We may or may never know, but its very existence and proliferation is frightening nonetheless.  Assume the worst as a precaution.

Trouble is, when you're young you often tend to feel like a superhero, invulnerable to attack from anything, especially perilous diseases or Obamacare, either of which can infect some part of your body or your bank account before you even know it.

So, youse intellectually deprived or deceived folks doing all that Ivy League learnin' at Princeton -- remember to stay progressively liberal so's you can anticipate more of the same, next time.  We wish a good and speedy recovery for the ill, but ya gotta remember that the importation or utter disregard of invasive Third World politics and hitchhiking organisms can be dangerous to one's health.  It's a freakin' small world after all -- and you need to fear it with your very life.

Fantastic plastic:   Whenever NY Senator Charles Schumer runs to the forefront to ban something, you just know much of the time that he's spoiling somebody's day across the nation.  This time it's plastic guns, easily produced via those 3-D printers currently exploding in popularity.  For one thing, plastic guns -- as deadly and frequently illegal as the "real" device -- are supposed to contain a metal portion so they can be screened by airport x-ray machines or the like, but apparently those in the know remove all metal in advance, thus rendering the weapon invisible to multi-million dollar technology (that is, Pac-Man's  digital offspring are foiled again). 

What this means in the United States, like it or not, is that at last everybody down to a three-year-old can now enjoy every thread of the Second Amendment and possess a handgun (and more) in full violation of progressive laws across the land.  The plastic genie is now fully out of the lamp, and public servants (that is, people who wish for the public to serve their whims) such as Schumer are in a tizzy, scribbling out proposed legislation faster than Chicken Little warning that the sky is falling. 

The plastic weapons issue is a nightmare, no doubt, but we've really reached the point where penning legislation to halt technology in its tracks is simply a waste of time, every bit as wasteful as continuing to keep Congress in Washington -- subject to continuous lobbyist payoffs -- when all representatives could easily remain in their home states and telecommute, thus saving taxpayers some real money.  But Schumer, obviously unhappy unless involved in a photo-op or regulating American lives with his progressive buddies, perseveres like the battery bunny.  Unfortunately for the regulation-minded among us, gun production instructions have already been downloaded from the Internet in great volume, and that's no accident.  To paraphrase from the military -- shoot 'em if you got 'em.

Just sitting here, wondering if I've forgotten anything today.  Oh, yeah. . .

Impeach, impeach, impeach, then prison.  Guess that's it for today. . .

Bits and Pieces for November 2013

(Illustration from the Web, posted here because it reminds me of appropriate greetings for a certain president and his wife, once the public finally realizes the extent of their negative contributions and the cost of their extravagant vacations to the nation.  Remember kids, as you and your currently powerless and defeated teachers suffer through "Common Core" foolishness in public school, that  Marxists, socialists and other frauds are people, too.)

Forget about endless repetitions of, "If you like your. . .blah, blah, blah. . .you can keep it."  Yes, our president lied his face off, but what's new?  Just imagine his team's work behind the scenes, fundamentally transforming our rights like diseased rats chewing up electrical wires and infrastructure behind a wall. 

A growing number of Americans realize the national decay we're infected with until the 2016 elections offer at least a minimal cure.  But don't forget about 2014, because congressional elections demand a different mantra -- making sure every voter in the country understands the significance of the fact that each and every vote in favor of "Obamacare" in the House of (alleged) Representatives was cast by a Democrat.   "Mooooooo," the herd was rumored to say in response to allegations that there was nothing remotely partisan about this travesty, incorporating leftovers from "Hillary Care" and likely decades of  wish-list medical legislation prepared by progressives and other communist-lovin' special interest groups just waiting for the chance to pounce. 

Meanwhile. . ."self-insured" businesses fight to keep the reasonable self-alternatives, even as Obama's minions strive to destroy this option, attacking like flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz.

Veterans Day with the president.  The very fraud-in-chief whose gang tried to keep World War II vets away from their memorial in D.C. during the government shutdown which was perpetrated by himself, helpful Harry and the Senate appeared as nothing but a giant phony as he spoke and praised vets on Veterans Day.  As a Vietnam Era veteran, allow me to reiterate the obvious and express with no doubts whatsoever that this prez wouldn't know how to appreciate active duty military personnel or veterans if the ability to do so was infused into his breakfast cereal, or whatever he eats in the morning.  Meanwhile, while a growing number of rational heads in the USA consider whether Mr. Obama should be impeached. . .

Egypt wants to put Obama on trial as a terrorist.  Our president's brother is already in deep trouble for supporting and aiding the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and Egypt blames B.O. himself for interfering in Egypt via his own support of the Muslim B., resulting in terror and death due to the Big Man's support of Morsi & thugs incorporated.  The efforts of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have done nothing in the Middle East except inflame all sides, so one might be inclined to tell Egypt, whether in person or in absentia, let the Obama trials begin.  Maybe the Egyptians can get what we can't get here in our own courts.

Good going, not, John Kerry.  So what was that all about, those seedy secret negotiations with Iran, pretty much allowing Iran to procure pretty much whatever nuclear ingredients it desired, giving them the store and the rest of us nothing of consequence?  No wonder Israel went nuts upon learning the details.  Fortunately, France intervened (France?  What the. . .?) and Iran bowed out of an agreement for the moment -- likely because they continue to prop up their nuke war program and lying their butts off.

I know, I know, I know, I know -- but something in me boils when I see U.S. Marines and other members of our military playing cleanup in the Philippines and other places around the world when disasters occur.  Or to be more specific -- these fine men and women did not sign up and take an oath to be international janitors and delivery boys.  Let the damned nearly useless U.N. handle these matters and tell our global president to remember why our Armed Forces exist. . .or what's left of them, under this presidential fraud.  Were I on active duty right now, I think I'd be biting my own foot to maintain control.  I wonder how many military suicides have some, even some small connection, to the White House pretender's gutting of Armed Forces' abilities, rules, cohesiveness and man/woman power?   Less diplomacy and more expert toughness is required in today's world, especially with Chinese communists embracing their military muscle even more.

Thought for the Day:  The Tea Party folks are not the revolutionaries we need to worry about, and, indeed, they could end up taking back the conservative components of the constipated and ineffectual Republican Party.  The radical and/or mentally unstable revolutionaries surrounding our president are the demons which truly comprise the eye of a very current and nightmarish national hurricane.

Impeachment festival?  Efforts are underway in the House to impeach attorney general Eric Holder over several issues.  This isn’t likely to go anywhere when it reaches the Senate, Inc., but as long as the mood is impeachment, don’t stop with Holder.  There are plenty of fish to fry in the sea of corruption.

As the usual gang of power brokers and corrupt politicians forge ahead with immigration "reform," and I'm thinking that prison terms may be called for here among those folks, it's not out of the question to expect that terrorist elements within our borders can hardly wait for the day when "legal" becomes license to operate more openly and with less interference from law enforcement. 

Why is it?  Why is it that physicians and other health care workers face some troubled times under the Affordable Care Act, yet the legislative lawyers at various levels who helped draft this mess and put it into effect get off scot free?  Where is tort reform?  Where is the Affordable Attorney Act? 

If "Obamacare" has taught us anything, it is yet another indication that powerful forces are hell bent on enslaving our privacy to the nanny computer.  At this point, how do you wake the kids up and convince them that the wonderment and ease of digital technology is a friend destined to become their enemy?  It's just a matter of time, with big government's help.

A final word:  If the escalating costs of enrollment in Obamacare -- either to participants or to taxpayers who eventually have to shoulder state-based Medicaid costs -- aren't enough, just wait until Obama's "green" regulations on domestic energy production go into effect.  Coal plants and any other energy source deemed un-green by this clueless intellectual maniac are already on notice, and Obama's efforts can only result in expensive energy price spikes.  The president who promised that energy prices must "necessarily skyrocket" aims to fulfill his prophecy -- or maybe the word is commandment.  The eleventh.

"Twilight Zone" Preferable to Lie-Right Zone

As Washington runs amuck with spending gone berserk and undeserving bureaucrats anchored like potted plants with roots of steel, one wonders, one begs to know how to convince a sleeping populace to wake up and smell the corruption.  It sure isn't happening as long as the mainstream media keeps folks' ocular function attached to TV screens with eye candy superglue administered from the progressive left and the progressive right.

How authoritarian has the government become?  If you don't know by now, you may never know.  If -- the truly -- conservative politicians and radio talk show hosts can warn us all for years about the Affordable Care Act's hidden dangers and impending damages to constitutional rights, yet few in society care enough to educate themselves about the implications to our society, then some among us deserve what they get.  Bon voyage, Obamacare, bon voyage, Titanic. . .

Gotta admit, even the twists, turns and quirks in TV's "The Twilight Zone" at least made sense in some far-out manner.  Now we just get The Lie-Right Zone from those in power, as the middle class continues a dive destined to leave only the powerful and the not-so standing.

Meanwhile, this weekend Senator Charles much-too-long-in-office Schumer of NY was out there pitching the ghost of Hillary Clinton for president.  I say ghost because the Hillary he touts seems like pure political ectoplasm, with  little relationship to the Hillary we really know.  In recent days folks have had to hold their noses when told about Hillary Clinton's exceptional accomplishments as Secretary of State, when we all know she and Obama did little in the Middle East but blunder along and help light the fires of radical Islam for our true enemies.  The tragic albatross of Benghazi, Libya should perch firmly on her shoulders forever, certainly promising no ascension to the presidential throne.

Because Congress, and most assuredly the presidency, are all locked up with special interest groups and, too often, public frivolity, we logically ask -- who remains to speak for us, we the people?  Whistle blowers, apparently.  Looks like the NSA (remember just a few years ago when nobody would even admit to its existence, in the spirit of the "invisible" Area 51?) is far less popular than Snowden now, thanks to its own policy.

When you think of a government out of control, remember the name, Audrey Hudson.  Read about her ordeal online, but the pertinent information involves the feds, with other law enforcement assistance, entering this journalist's home one fine morning and, among other matters, absconding with her personal notes regarding, it seems, embarrassing (or worse) details about air marshals and Homeland Security.  There were several implied layers to this incident, but this additional example of big government tracking down members of the press and keeping tabs on their contacts should chill every American to the bone.  Who will save us?  Technology?  Hell, no, digital technology imprisons the human spirit more each day, not because it's inherently evil, but because big government is inherently evil and has virtually endless means to harness technology and use it against the rest of us. 

So here we are, and how did we get here?  If one is a journalist now, I guess you have to hide your notes at some nameless and unknown friend's house, as if you were hiding Anne Frank herself from humans gone wild.  If one has firearms, seems you're better off securing undocumented guns and ammo someplace where "they" will never think to look -- but, of course, technology's wonders allow few such locations or options.  What to do?  Shake your fist to the sky and blame The Cloud?  Clouds of the digital realm always maintain the electronic right to bring storms.

Hey China, nice map of places, lots of places, in the United States where those commie comedians promise  they can take us out with nuclear bombs.  But who cares about that when primarily leftist legislators across the country are focused upon crushing the Second Amendment whilst King Obama himself continues to purge the U.S. military of generals and the like who apparently just don't measure up -- make that down -- to his political views.

But, to quote Hillary's all-purpose excuse, what difference does it make?  Obama.  And Marx?  Marxist?  What's that?  You mean Groucho, the high school and college kids ask?  Yeah, that's right, Groucho Marx.  Funny man, wasn't he?  And remember Zeppo and Harpo?  I wonder if Common Core teaches kids that these were the Marxists?   Wouldn't expect anything less.

Horror at LAX.  Another day, another shooting, another death.  Another wish on my part that the airport terminal had been crawling with enough personal and legal civilian firepower  to mow this freak down before he could get to the trigger.  Instead, we're likely due for more blather from the media and leftist governors who hate guns and therefore hate you for having guns, period.

About that Affordable Care Act -- Admit it, now some of your unaware friends "get" Ted Cruz's little filibuster over Obamacare's terrors, don't they?  While damned nearly every national TV "news" outlet worked hard to dismiss Cruz by showing only that little blurb of him reading from Green Eggs and Ham, they ignored hours and hours of his brilliant observations and commentary on a host of issues, just to keep us off track.  Strange how some in the media wear a different face now -- undoubtedly a temporary condition, as they and the Obama gang strive to reconnect and reconstruct a brave Obama-friendly face for News at Eleven.

Scientists suggest that our Milky Way alone contains 8.8 billion suns, many with planetary systems similar to ours.  Source of UFOs?  Maybe.  And more than likely class action lawyers, annoying neighbors, infinite political campaigns and employed creatures who neglect to wash their tentacles after using toilet facilities at galactic restaurants.  And dog poop, everywhere, dog poop.

The Justin Bieber latest:  Sorry, I just can't let Bieber news alone, mainly because I keep counting down the hours until the world tires of his flash-in-the-pan existence in the world of celebrity and moves on to another tingling sensation of the moment.  This time around, Bieber was observed and photographed leaving a foreign brothel with, allegedly, a couple of the establishment's ladies.  Let's see. . .hmm. . .that would make three of a kind, wouldn't it?  Anyway, if Canada had installed its own brothels throughout the country, perhaps JB would have remained in Canada and never sung a note or endangered lives by speeding in the USA as he instead "toured" his own nation.  Five years from now, his music will be looked upon as something equally laughable with Obama's If you like (fill in the blank) you can keep it.
