Momma said there'd be days like this; however, I really wouldn't mind an occasional non - "day like this!" But, it's Friday, so I got that going for me. :)
Let's get historical. On September 30, 1924, Truman Capote, the American author of Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood, was born. One of our favorite former Senators is celebrating a birthday today; I'll give y'all a clue. ;D
Yep! Blanche Lincoln, former US Senator (DINO - AR), is 51. I wonder what she's doing these days? Well, OK, I fibbed; I could give a rat's hind quarters what she's doing.
On with The Rachel Maddow Show!
"When Horrible People Fight..." AKA "One by One" - AQ & Iran's "leader" are having a little spat; they would really prefer that Mr. Iran Holocaust Denier dude would refrain from 9/11 truther stuff. Again, there are no winners in a room full of LOSERS. Anwar Al - Awlaki was getting ready to publish a lovely "targeting" article in a big 'ol AQ publication; Anwar Al - Awlaki was blowed up real good by a drone in Yemen today. Samir Khan had just written an article for that same AQ magazine; he was with Mr. AAA when he was blowed up real good. So, the lesson, FOKRs, is that if you have an interview scheduled with these magazine peeps in the near future, you will be blowed up real good if you go work for them! Both of these guys were American citizens; they had dual citizenship in Yemen. Mr. AAA was nearly killed just after OBL was killed. I really really think that there should be just 1 President Obama re - election poster. Get a picture of OBL with 1 of those red circles around him with the line through him with the caption, "I Got Him!" This administration has actually blowed up a lot of not nice people real good! Mr. AAA was the "inspiration" for the Underroo Bomber, the Ft. Hood shooter, and failed Times Square bomber - among a list of other "winners." Rachel's apparently not very comfortable with the circumstances under which Mr. AAA was killed. Mr. AAA's Dad had filed a lawsuit when his son was put on an "assassination list." Spencer Ackerman gets Mr. AAA duty. Ya' know, I'm not sure if it's because the string of craptacular days I've had, but I'm having a real hard time mustering up any sympathy for this guy dying nor questioning the method under which he was killed.
"Say Anything" - Gov. Rev. Huckabee was briefly considering entering the POTUS race? How did I miss that?! Governor State Helicopter is still being coy about his plans. The GOBP just ain't real thrilled with their current potential nominees; well, I'm not thrilled with them, either! :D Nancy Reagan's been talking to Governor State Helicopter?! UH - OH! Will he say "no" to St. Ronnie's widow? Look at that line up for the "Values Voter Summit!" Ugh... Bryan Fischer is going to follow Mittens Romney; Mr. Fischer doesn't like teh Mormons. Does this mean he won't see The Book of Mormon if he gets a chance? ;D Frank Schaeffer has had a hell of an inside view to "values voter summit" - type folk & has lived to tell the tale. These people are serious about religion - NOT politics. They want a theocracy. Huh, you'd think they'd like Muslims more than they do because they seem to have a lot in common at least in that area!
"A Shot and a Beer" - Oh, the NRA - yet another subject area that'll get my blood pressure spewing outta control! OK, I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hang in with this segment. The way President Obama's coming for yer guns is to NOT come for yer guns. Rep. Joe "Deadbeat Dad" Walsh wants IL to have a concealed weapons law to protect citizens from their government - which he's a part of since he's a Congress critter. OK, I'm done with this segment - sorry. HEY! Just where did Ms. Rachel get that guns in bars in OH story?! ;D OK, that French 75 thing sounds YUMMY!! :D
