Heh: Sarah Palin does Conan O'Brian's show, Schools Shatner

I will be very honest with you; I really do not care for Sarah Palin. That is because I believe personally that she embodies the rather idiotic lukewarm evangelical Christianity nonsense that I fled back in 2004, when I left the Pentecostal sect of Christianity, in favor of more traditional or some would say actual real Christianity.  However, I will be brutally honest with you; she totally owned this little piece right here. However, I will say that the fan boy comments over at HotAir.com were a bit much — Having said that, she did very well here in this video. Some people forget, she did have experience as a Sportscaster at a TV Station in Alaska. Therefore, she is no stranger to Teleprompters and she is actually good at it.

Again, I must hand it to the gal — She did really well here.

Here is the video: (Thanks to R.S. McCain)

Some changes around here

I just wanted to inform all of my readers of some changes that I have made and will be making here in the next few days.

First off, the big ad banner at the top of the blog is gone. While it might have brought the blog some revenue, it was, admittedly, annoying. There were many that told me this and I sort of agreed, but wanted to make the cash. However, after thinking about it — I realized that while making money is great fun, being an annoying person is not. Therefore, I canned that ad and the huge ad in the side bar, in favor of two smaller button ads that should be appearing shortly. As I said, the last thing I want people to be is annoyed when coming here.

I am also thinking and just may reduce the number of in-line ads as well. I believe I have that setting cranked up to max; which is a bit annoying. Therefore, I will be dialing that back as well. Personally, I find inline ads quite annoying, but they do make the money, if the traffic is there. This is why I went ahead with them. However, I want them to be within reason and not annoying to the user experience.

That is it for now.

Enjoy!

Wonkette Jumps the Shark

Count me as someone who is very disgusted with this sort of disgusting bile that is now being shown on Wonkette. Whoever wrote this should be fired.

It has been over a month since Teabaggers from across the nation visited Capitol Hill to tear up physical copies of legislation and sit around Nancy Pelosi’s office like schmucks, because of her plans to create another Dachau. But next Tuesday it will be the Senate’s turn! Folks’ll walk into Senate office buildings and pretend to die, because they’re pussies, and won’t die for real.

Oh, it gets better:

This should be pretty funny. Probably a good 75% of Senators will see presumably dead bodies on the ground and do what they usually do, which is try to fuck them before they go cold. Try keeping your death gag up during that, lie-mongers.

Here the screencaps before Wonkette tries to remove the offensive posting or rewrites it:

and….:

wonkettecap2

The reason why this bothers me so bad is this is the same damn group that went after me, when I lost my cool and said something on twitter that I should not have said. However, it is okay for Wonkette to write something like this? It is a double standard and it is wrong. Something should be done about it. However, because we all know that liberals can get away with such nonsense and we Conservatives cannot, nothing will be done.

I just have to wonder, what does Obama think of such rubbish and does he endorse it?

Jenny Sanford Files for Divorce

I believe that Mrs. Sanford is doing the right thing and leaving Mark Sanford. Mark Sanford, in my eyes, is worst than any corrupt politician in Washington D.C. Not only because of what he did to his wife. In addition, because of what he did to those of us who actually supported Mark Sanford. There were actually some of us, who actually believed that Mark Sanford might be an excellent alternative to the likes of Wilsonian Republican hacks like Lindsey Graham and John Boehner. However, it was quickly revealed that Mark Sanford was nothing more than a morally and fiscally corrupt political leader.

Therefore, to Jenny Sanford, I give her the old “You Go Girl!” cheer. Because whatever of his that she decides to go after, is totally fine with me. I mean, this feckless bastard had a pretty wife and four darling little boys; and instead of being a model husband, this idiot was playing “sex doctor” in Argentina. I mean, let us not even get into the blatant hypocrisy that comes to mind here. I mean, this idiot was all about Conservative fiscal restraint and supposedly about Christian morals. So much for all that, I suppose.

Personally, I believe that Jenny Sanford is entitled to EVERYTHING of value that Mark Sanford owns. Mark Sanford should left a damn pauper when she is done with him. Jenny Sanford deserves to live like a queen; Mark Sanford deserves to be taken to the outskirts of town, shot, and left for dead. You ask what about Christian forgiveness? Oh, I forgive him. However, forgiveness has nothing to do with Mark Sanford profiting from moral infidelity while in public office, not to mention that fact that he lead on many people into believing that he was something that he was not —That my friend is unforgiveable.  Mark Sanford should lose every damned bit of wealth that he owns and it should be given to Jenny Sanford. Before anyone asks; No, I do not think that this should be the standard for every divorce case. However, in this case, it is entirely appropriate.

I am sorry friends, but there is just absolutely no excuse for this sort of immorality while in public office and also there is just no excuse for this sort of public deception. Mark Sanford did this and for it, he should be held highly accountable.

Quote of the Day

Barack Obama ran for president as a man of the people, standing up to Wall Street as the global economy melted down in that fateful fall of 2008. He pushed a tax plan to soak the rich, ripped NAFTA for hurting the middle class and tore into John McCain for supporting a bankruptcy bill that sided with wealthy bankers “at the expense of hardworking Americans.” Obama may not have run to the left of Samuel Gompers or Cesar Chavez, but it's not like you saw him on the campaign trail flanked by bankers from Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. What inspired supporters who pushed him to his historic win was the sense that a genuine outsider was finally breaking into an exclusive club, that walls were being torn down, that things were, for lack of a better or more specific term, changing.

Then he got elected.

Video: Penn Jillette on Elderly Parents

I present this video because I can totally relate to how Penn feels. I, too, have Elderly Parents who frankly are not getting any younger. My recent experience with my Dad really drove the point home; invincible is something that my parents are not. Here Penn gets a bit emotional talking about his Mother and Father. I will say this, those of you out there who have Elderly parents and have brothers and Sisters; ought to say a small thank you to the Lord for this. (This makes this posting even more humorous, because Penn is an Atheist.) As I have no siblings at all. What this means is, caring for my parents, when they reach the point of not being able to do will fall squarely on my shoulders. I have been often asked why I just do not leave the State of Michigan, go to another state, and find work. This is why, and you will see why in this video.

Editor & Publisher to Cease Publication

This is sad story and I do mean that in quite the big way. It appears that Editor & Publisher, which has been in business since 1884 is going out of business; that is unless someone steps forward, buys the magazine, and begins to sell it. There are a number of things, which one could blame — bad economy, changing times, and so forth. I guess some of you might think that I am delighted to see this happening. Well, let me publicly say that nothing and I mean nothing could be further from the truth. As a Conservative, I believe in the first amendment — even when I do not agree with those who do not share my political stance and views. Editor & Publisher has fought for the first amendment right of publishers for years, and I commend them for the service to the media community.

It is has been said by those in the establishment and corporate media world, that bloggers like me do not respect those in the mainstream media. This, in my case, at least is not true at all. Truth is folks, if it were not for the Fourth Estate; we bloggers would have nothing to write about, at all. Therefore, it does bring me great sadness to hear that one of the trade publications for the old media is closing its doors for good. I am very hopeful that someone out there, who is in a position to buy this trade publication out and enable it to continue for many years to come. Because allowing E & P to slip into the sundry bounds of historic memory would be, I feel with the greatest of convictions, a grave tragedy.

I wish all of the editors and staff of E & P all of the very best and I hope that somehow, someway that E & P is able to remain with us.
