Rachel ended Friday night's show with a plethora of 6 - year - olds correcting her about the living arrangements of Sponge Bob Square Pants - which was a total hoot! :D I thought we could introduce some more wisdom from the mouths of babes tonight. :)
Here's a few from a website under the category "Kids Say the Darndest Things!"
An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him 'How do you expect to get into Heaven?' The boy thought it over and said, 'Well, I'll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!''
When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, 'Mommy, you are getting fat!' I replied, 'Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy.' 'I know,' she replied, but what's growing in your butt?'
One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, '..... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling!' The teacher paused then asked the class, 'And what do you think that farmer said?' One little girl raised her hand and said, 'I think he said; 'Holy Shit! A talking chicken!'' The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
HA! I hope that brightened your Monday evening a bit! :D
Now, we get SPARKy for the last day of spring. As big of a history buff as I am, I would still have no desire to own these - except maybe to shoot at with a bee - bee gun. This is an Australian - rules bar...LITERALLY! Finally, look for this "health food item" at a state fair near you. ;D
On with The Rachel Maddow Show!
"Redress for Success" - Jon Huntsman is announcing his candidacy in NJ tomorrow; Governator Rick Perry made quite a splash in New Orleans this past weekend. The Dems are dyin' for Gov. Rick Scott of FL to be THE face of the GOBP; he's the least popular in the country. He's lower down than Governor Scotty of WI?! Gov. Rick Scott's even trying to gin up his approval numbers - PATHETIC! He's robocalling already? That can't be good!! Bat$hit GOBP Governors & their bat$hit laws are the subject of many a lawsuit - GOOD!
Not only is a lot of "hot action" going on in the states, but the GOBP on the national level is doing all it can to put the kibosh in President Obama's judge choices; heaven forbid we get a SCOTUS that isn't giving a BJ to big business! *&^%$#@! Nan Aron gets GOBP & "court" duty tonight. A whole mess of currently - serving judges were in the Federalist Society - YEA! *&^%$#@!
"Block Party" - The GOBP promised hearings galore when they took over the House. The ATF head dude might be in some soup - well, the acting head anyway. There is no OFFICIAL head & hasn't been in 5 years?! $HIT!!
A whole mess of departments are currently leaderless because of the GOBP in the Senate. Again, the United States Senate...where bills & nearly everything else goes to DIE.
"The Interview" - Peter Diamond's Nobel prize wasn't good enough for Federal Reserve activity & labor market activities. Well, the GOBP thinks stupid is the new smart, now. He wrote an op - ed piece about the confirmation process; yea, he's got a real good look at that! He called it harrassment.
"How Can This Be Legal?" - It's Rachel's turn to have "fun" with "Justice" Clarence Thomas! ;D In case y'all haven't heard, some big - wig TX real estate dude has been handing some big time coin to "Justice" Thomas. Ian Millhiser's done a lot of writing about comparing "Justice" Thomas to Abe Fortas. Yea, Abe Fortas left for a whole lot less oogy reasons, but the GOBP back them had some shame & actually sort of cared about country first as opposed to party first; "Justice" Thomas is...well...
"Upping the Anti" - President Obama is known for taking his own sweet time in making big decisions; that's usually a good thing! On Wednesday, President Obama is going to announce the beginnings of troops leaving Afghanistan. A whole lot of defunding talk in Congress is alive & well no matter what President Obama says on Wednesday - everything from Libya to Afghanistan.
