The "this day in history" cupboard is pretty damn bare; only a couple of items peaked some interest with me, anyway. So, let's dispense with the distribution of these necessities for some of y'all first. ;D
and...
I reserve the right to partake as well should circumstances call for it - aka if "you know who" shows up on the show.
On this date in 1968, Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" was released. I just watched The Graduate again this past weekend; my, that is a good movie - starring the future "Mrs. Mel Brooks!" :D
On this date in 1965, Pampers were patented by R.C. Duncan. Ya' know who HAS TO BE celebrating today - THIS GUY!
Let's Countdown {insert juvenile adolescent "Diaper Boy" joke here}!
#5 "Arizona Protests" AKA "Twilight ‘Zona" AKA "Razing Arizona" AKA "Big Gov’s Their Cup of Tea" - Mexico has issued a travel alert to its citizens to not go to the "Show Me Your Papers" state because they could get stopped. Mexico is the "Show Me Your Papers" states biggest source of tourism – OOPS! Mexican legislators are considering a boycott of shipping goods to the...well...you know where. San Francisco is trying to figure out how to cancel contracts; I just love them San Francisco librul values! ;D The L.A. city council introduced legislation for potential boycotting efforts. At least half dozen conventions have already said "thanks but no thanks" to meeting there. Governor Jan Brewer just can figure out what all the fuss is about; honey, it’s about THIS, ya’ moran!
Small Price to Pay Goldilocks defended the law, of course. Marco Rubio doesn’t like the law?! WOW! For once when the guy opened his pie – hole, something OK came out of it! Senator Lindsay Graham criticized the law today while questioning Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Senator Graham came right out & said he thinks the law is unconstitutional; we have that on video tape, Senator! Keith, thanks for ditching the "raising" Arizona stuff! Here’s Rep. Raul Grijalva. He doesn’t understand why immigration reform can’t take place at the same time efforts get underway to secure the border. FAUX News is criticizing Rep. Grijalva & claiming his hurting his constituents.
Here’s Eugene Robinson! His column about this shameful law is a MUST READ! I just lurves this man. Most police agencies hate this law. Thank you, Eugene, for FINALLY bringing up a point about this horrible law that I’ve been mentioning for days here! If WASP Joe or Jane Citizen doesn’t like how their local law enforcement is enforcing this law, said WASPy Joe or Jane Citizen can SUE the officer & probably their precinct! The tea baggers should be all over this over – reaching government intervention; well, they would be except "brown people" are being targeted, so that’s OK.
#4 "Regulating the Banksters" - OK, are we going to need a "parental advisory" warning label on this segment?! ;D Those of you with sensitive virgin ears better cover them up! Goldman Sachs execs were on the hot seat (unfortunately not literally) in front of Senator Carl Levin’s committee today. Now, where’s Brent Bozell’s outcry to think of the children after today after the language? HA! The GOPers in the Senate once again reared their ugly rears to block the financial reform bill to even come up for debate. Did Senator Nelson help them again? DAMMIT, YES HE DID! *&^%$#@! Seriously, Nebraska? Hello?!
President Obama was in Iowa today, and look, he’s got no visible horns or pitchforks because {insert hushed tone hanging around here} teh gays can get married! All righty, those of you with sensitive ears better cover them up, but if you hang around me, you don’t have sensitive ears, do you?! ;D And, the crowd in the room chuckles!
Ya’ know, for all the fuss & muss that Keith & Countdown will probably be subjected to, I bet there’s a whole lot worse than sh...er...uh...well...you know... uttered behind closed doors in Senate committee hearings! Senator Levin’s had just too much fun. Senator Claire McCaskill joined in on the "coarse" language fest! Somewhere, George Carlin is smiling! ;D Hey! No one giggled when Senator McCaskill said it; Senator Levin stole her coarse language thunder. Senator Ted Kaufman was in the room today, and it doesn’t even look like his ears are bleeding or anything – HA! Senator Kaufman thinks more "lovely" revelations about the companies that put our economy in the terlet will be flushed out {insert rim shot here}. Retiring OH Senator George Voinovich said he will eventually vote with the Dems in the Senate to allow debate on the financial reform bill to begin. Why not now, Senator?
** The Ukrainians are throwing eggs & punches & smoke bombs at each other. OK, I would LOVE to see eggs & punches thrown in our Congress. The smoke bombs can stay home. ;D Did they have an omelet bar afterwards? Skiers in Russia are skiing & landing in nice icy cold water. Maybe, they can send some of that water to some of y’all here – HA! **
#3 "Race Matters" - President Obama is seeking the support from those who voted for him in 2008 to go out & vote in November. Boss Limbaugh & similar ilk have called him racist. Kettle meet pot; pot meet kettle.
So, can some boycott be started up against Boss Limbaugh’s sponsors like what happened with Lonesome Rhodes for doing the exact same damn thing?! {insert giggling like a little girl here!} IT’S "MY GUY!!!!!!!" Where’s the damn ice?! ;D Keith called Richard "a white guy," but Richard’s half Moroccan, so he better not go to the "Show Me Your Papers" state! Plus, he’s got that accent, too – that dreamy wonderful...HEY! WHO WROTE THAT?! A little decorum here please...
toxic mix of malice and ignorance
LOVE IT! Although, I don’t think Boss Limbaugh’s ignorant; he’s just plain ‘ol good ‘ol fashioned RACIST. Send Boss Limbaugh’s XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL white hood & robe via overnight mail, por favour! WOW! "My guy" is ON IT tonight!!!
"Tea Time"
cocks for docs
HA! OK, George Carlin is REALLY smiling now! Sue Lowden is now insisting that said "...cocks for docs..." was not meant as a policy statement but went on to keep offering it up anyway. Man, Brent Bozell is going to be a busy guy tonight! ;D
WPITW – Hugo Chavez is going on teh Twitter. For Keith’s sake, I hope he doesn’t offer to follow him! Lonesome Rhodes said GWB was a progressive. Some lady in FL couldn’t spell her last name then took a whiz in an officer’s car.
#1 "iRaid" AKA "Giznono" - The cops visited the guy’s house who blogged & videoed the alleged new edition of the IPhone. Can bloggers seek the same anti – raiding protection as journalists do? IS THAT FAUX NEWS SECURITY AT MY DOOR?! $hit fire – them cops were busy in that guy’s house! Here’s Jonathan Turley. I don’t suppose he’s on the short list for the next SCOTUS justice? Nah...of course not... Some courts have said bloggers are journalists; some courts have said bloggers are not journalists. Well, that’s nice & clear; good night everybody! ;D Professor Turley thinks he’s a journalist – just not a very good one. Well, then this dude should be working at FAUX News! Another complicating factor is whether or not this phone is considered stolen property via the letter of the law. This dude may have actually stolen it. Professor Turley thinks this case might lead to the road of bad law in the area of protection for actual journalists. OK, no one who’s as much of a constitutional law wonk as I am is probably pretty bored, but I am loving this!! Y’all think I’ll end up on the SCOTUS short list??!! You don’t have to be a lawyer, ya’ know!
