Hell's bells...Look what I'm doing ALREADY in anticipation of the next couple nights of Countdown! :D
I want to note a somber anniversary especially "near & dear" to my hometown for "this day in history." On July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis which had just delivered key components of the Hiroshima atomic bomb to the Pacific island of Tinian was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. Only 316 out of 1,196 men survived the sinking and shark-infested waters. I've seen the memorial; it's a very somber moving experience. You're welcome to learn more about what happened to the USS Indianapolis & the aftermath.
And, in a drastic "180" from the story of the Indianapolis, I want to wish y'all a Happy National Cheesecake Day! The motto for the day is...
Let's serve it up! :D
Now, on to Countdown with beefcake...er...uh...stud muffin...oh crap...dreamy...DAMMIT...Richard Wolffe!
#5 "Diplomacy on Tap" AKA "The Audacity of Hops" AKA "Right – Wing Racism" - Oh, look at that GORGEOUS man... OK...FOCUS!! In case anyone’s been away from the television machine, the radio, or the intertubes over the last...oh...week or so, President Obama, Professor Henry Gates, and Sgt. Crowley had some tall cool ones at the White House today. And, apparently VP Biden was there, too! They got their suds on a tray?! Well, what’s the fun of drinking of you can’t spill said drink and/or puke all over someone or something?! ELITISTS! ;D VP Biden drank "near beer"? WIMP! Did y’all notice in the pictures that the 2 guests kept on their jackets & ties while President Obama and VP Biden acted like it was Casual Friday or something? What about honor & respect for the White House?! HA! Y’all of course remember that GWB was gonna bring honor & respect back to the White House by making everyone have on a jacket & tie & such in the Oval Office. I forget...how did that honor & respect thing turn out? Here we go again with the "blaming President Obama shtick." Clarence Page did it again! What was President Obama SUPPOSED to do that night – not answer the question from Lynn Sweet? He was going to be damned if he did & damned if he didn’t. His word choice wasn’t the best, but he couldn’t avoid it, either. "My guy" brought up Boss Limbaugh; tear him a new one, honey! Boss Limbaugh actually used the "community organizer" memo again – like Grandma ExGov TurkeyLover & America’s Mayor??!! How well did that work last time? Oh...yea...we have PRESIDENT OBAMA – not President McCentury. Joan Walsh got called a racist by Boss Limbaugh? Well, lucky her! Boss Limbaugh & his ilk tried to "recruit" Sgt. Crowley to bad – mouth President Obama? 1...2...3...CLASSY! I heard the NPR clip Joan Walsh mentioned; it was a "gentleman" in Virginia when President Obama was there the other day. Scary $hit...
#4 "Health Scare for All" AKA "This May Hurt..." AKA "Electoral Surgery" - Senator Reid is accusing the GOP of trying to torpedo health care reform. Wow...does he even know the meaning of the word "irony"?! YOU, SENATOR REID, ARE THE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER, BUT YOU SURE AS $HIT AREN’T ACTING LIKE ONE! Sorry for the all caps, but that comment was just too stinkin’ much. TurdBlossom is accusing President Obama of using the fear card for health care reform? Damn, pull up your waders, folks; it’s getting mighty deep. Did you see that FRC ad?! Aren’t there laws against misleading advertising??!! The GOP & their allies are using the "old people are gonna die" shtick. Well, I guess they should be afraid of old people dying since it’s mainly old people voting GOP these days. YEA! Let Richard Wolffe discuss "socialized medicine!" He looks healthy & is smart & good looking &....OK...FOCUS...
** Yea! Richard’s doing "Oddball!" A mom was on a dirt bike & hit an old lady in a wheel chair – OOPS! Some of Richard’s country men are playing dominoes with mattresses. Those silly Brits! HA! He is funny! **
#3 "Separated at Birther" AKA "Birther of a Nation" - A Texas GOP Congress critter is the newest sponsor for a bill requiring all future Presidential candidates produce their birth certificate. Did y’all see NoNo?! And, Rep. Louis Gohmert, said Texas Congress critter, cited Lou Dobbs in his reason for his sponsorship. Lou Dobbs has got...to...go...YESTERDAY! The lovely Jean Schmitt was too chicken $hit to answer the birth question? HA! But, she voted for the Hawaii 50th state resolution that stipulated that President Obama was born there. I wonder if she regrets her vote? ;D The Congress critter from Georgia isn’t sure where our President was born. Do they have absolutely no concept whatsoever how DAMN DUMB this makes them look? Holy crap! Mike Pence actually had the balls to say that President Obama was born in Hawaii! What’s this I’m feeling – Hoosier pride – for THAT GUY?! AAAAaaaaaUUUUuuuuuGGGGGGggggHHHHHHhhhhh! Rep. Roy Blunt is now crying that FireDogLake took him out of context. Ain’t that always the classic excuse? That picture of the FUBARed Fivesome – BillO, CoulterGeist, Boss Limbaugh’s Puppet, American’s Mayor, & "Small Price to Pay" Boehner – is gonna do WONDERS for my slumber. When I again watch this episode of Mr. Wolffe’s guest hosting, I may have to "edit" that one out. HEY! DAVID WALDMAN, DAILY KOS CONGRESS CRITTER EXPERT, IS ON THE SHOW! Hot damn!!
#2 "The Jackson Four" - Joe Jackson dropped a little bombshell that Michael Jackson has a 25 – year – old son. Wow...Joe Jackson thrust himself in front of the media again? Katherine Jackson is getting custody of the younger kids. Debbie Rowe will not give up her parental rights & will have some visitation rights. I thought those kids didn’t even know who Debbie Rowe is. Today talked to Michael Jackson’s chef???!!! OK, they have officially jumped the shark, now.
#1 "Palintology" AKA "What’s Next for Palin?" - I think William Shatner’s found himself a new career! He does have the damnest way of reinventing himself. Did y’all hear Richard’s "...polar – based pit bull"?! HA! I love that man. 67% of Americans don’t want St. Sarah from Wasilla to EVER get into the White House. St. Sarah might end up in some sort of radio gig. I can just hear it now... The Boss Limbaugh & TurkeyLover Show....AUGH – Damn this imagination!! Ya’ know, if Mr. Shatner REALLY wants to get this whole beatnik shtick correct, he needs to wear black pants, a black turtle neck, and a black beret. Just sayin’... ;D I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but comparing Nixon to St. Sarah is an insult to Nixon.
