It's Friday! It's Friday! It's Friday! Thank Jeebus...
There are a few notables for "this day in history" & a reason to bring out THE CAKE again - Yippee!! ;D So, let's dispense with THE CAKE first. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is 83 today. For your roll (or lack thereof in doing anything to prevent our current economic terlet) in the current state of our nation's economy, you have earned THE CAKE. GO CHENEY YOURSELF!
OK...moving on...
Walter Cronkite signed off for the last time as anchorman of The CBS Evening News on this date in 1981. And, that's the way it was.
And, happy 62nd birthday to actor & director Rob Reiner! Of course, he was "MeatHead" in All in the Family, but I HAVE to use this clip to celebrate the occasion; I am bound by all that is hilarious to use THIS clip!
Let's Countdown!
#5 "Party Boss" AKA "Action VS. Distraction" AKA "Fun with Numbers" AKA "The Ratings Game" - The national unemployment rate is the worst it’s been in 25 years; Indiana is above the national average. The rate in Indiana is 9.2% I f*ckin’ dare Boss Limbaugh to go to Ohio & tell those cops their jobs shouldn’t have been saved; hell, I TRIPLE – DOG DARE HIM! 651,000 jobs were lost in February. President Obama has a 72% favorability rating, according to Newsweek. Roger Ailes is comparing FAUX News to the Alamo? Huh?! John "Small Price to Pay" Boehner has called for a spending freeze in light of the unemployment figures. OK, no one in Congress gets paid; there’s your "spending freeze," A$$! Unemployment figures will probably go into the double digits before things get better. Are Roger Ailes & "America’s Mayor" still BFFs? Boss Limbaugh may be using TurdBlossom math in his listener numbers. He’s over – inflated those numbers in the same way he’s apparently tried to "over – inflate" other things in his life. Boss Limbaugh claimed today that the health care activities will be called the Ted Kennedy Memorial Bill – CLASSY!
#4 "Earmark of the Beast" AKA "Party of Jive" - The GOP blocked the funding bill required to keep the government running. There are 9000 earmarks put there mainly by the GOP, and Senator Claire McCaskill schooled the GOP on their shenanigans. Mitch McConnell has twice as many earmarks in this mother as Harry Reid does! JIVE?! Other GOP are "speaking jive" in addition to Michael Steele?! DAMN... Well, this little revelation demands yet another classic movie clip!
Now, the GOP wants all kinds of meaningless amendments added to this bill that have absolutely jack $hit to do with spending. We got a heck of a civics lesson from Lawrence O’Donnell; he must be getting lessons from Congress Matters! ;D
** "You Know Who" gave the Russian president a gag gift of a red button?! Good grief... Grandmas in Korea are kicking a$$ & taking names – All Right! A 4 – year – old won an island in a lottery. O...K... **
#3 "Trash Talkin’ the Prez" AKA "Courtside Debate" AKA "In the Zone" - A Wizards fan razzed President Obama during a Wizards – Bulls game last week. How fun is that?! Can y’all even imagine GWB tolerating anything like that? Miles Rawls has a faboo story to tell his grandkids. I remember when the Bulls didn’t suck; hell, I even remember when the Bulls sucked pre – Michael Jordan.
StillBUSHED! "Bradley Scholzman Gonzo – Gate" Brad replaced the attorney fired in Missouri; the case that Brad tried to make has now been tossed. "Hypocrisy – Gate" TurdBlossom doth protest too much about politicizing stuff. "War Crimes – Gate" The charges against the president of Sudan may be a blueprint for GWB.
WPITW – CoulterGeist complained to the Mannity that she’s not feeling enough love; CoulterGeist, I suggest you go Cheney yourself if you want to feel any love! FAUX News employees are seeing secret meetings that aren’t there. Senator Jim DeMint is trashing the DC school system. Hm... Jimmy’s from South Carolina. This little lady’s from South Carolina, too. So, I wouldn’t be focusing too much on the education trashing.
#1 "I Love the 90s" - I don’t mind the 90s, either! I earned my undergraduate degree in the 90s, I began grad school in the 90s, and I met Hubby in the 90s. Newt Gingrich is considering a run for the White House in 2012. No Grandma Governor TurkeyLover?! Say it ain’t so! Sorry folks, but I’m not so enthused about any Seinfeld reunions because I seldom watched the show & absolutely don’t get the "humor." Uh, I hate to tell y’all, but Kurt Cobain ain’t coming back. But, doesn’t it just do your heart good to know that Ken Starr is still obsessing about other people’s sex lives? ;D He must not be gettin' any - not that I know anyone who would want to give it to him - including Mrs. Starr, if there is one.
