I would like to extend my deep & sincere gratitude for all the Super Bowl fans who've graced my fair city with their presence and their money over the last couple weeks; you can go home now! OR, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here! HA!
Let's get historical for previous February 6ths - with a wee bit of "cheating" 'cause "I'm in charge." :D On February 6, 1952, Britain's King George VI died; he was succeeded by his daughter, Elizabeth II. Poor Chucky's never gonna be king! ;D Eva Braun (aka Mrs. Adolph Hitler for about a day) was born on this date in 1912.
Now, for the cheating part because I'm asserting diarist's privilege, William S. Burroughs was born 98 years ago yesterday in St. Louis, MO. Here are some home movies of Mr. Burroughs in his house in Lawrence, KS (which I've seen), and I know the guy who filmed it, too. :)
Let's Countdown!
And, Keith is BACK! :D
#5 "Better With Time" AKA "Obama Rising" - According to FAUX News, the only possible explanation for the uptick in employment, economic, and his approval numbers is that his administration is cooking the books. No, only FAUX News cooks journalism. The VA Governator is trying to say GOBP Governors are responsible for the economic good news. Whatever... Maine caucuses for a week?! YIKES! Newt's still talking moon walks? ;D The more people get to know Mittens, the less they like him. AND, if the election was tomorrow, President Obama would win handily. Steve Kornacki is in - studio for uptick duty. The more people begin to believe the economy is OK, the higher the POTUS approval ratings tend to be. There are parallels between the early days & years of the Reagan Presidency to what President Obama's gone through. Oye'! I'm not sure I like that. HOLY CRAP!! Remember what I just said above about the more folks learn about Mittens the less they like him?! IT'S WORSE WITH NEWT!! This primary process for the MENSA members is getting pretty ugly, and it could stay ugly for awhile. :) The GOBP might just blink - a little - on the payroll tax holiday extension? I'll believe THAT when I see it. I believe David Catanese is a new face so welcome! He gets to talk MENSA like - ability - or lack thereof. ;D I seem to, however, remember the 2008 Dem primary being fairly nasty, so I'm not sure I agree with Mr. Catanese's view on that issue. Newt keeps trying to say that Mittens is just like President Obama. Uh...right...remember, this is the guy still talking moon bases & moon colonies & stuff.
#4 "Ad Hack" AKA "Ad Race" - Former MI GOBP Congress critter Pete Hoekstra's running against Debbie Stabenow for her Senate seat. His ad that ran during the Super Bowl in that state yesterday might as well have been written by the KKK. The even more frightening thought is that the woman agreed to do the thing! Pete Hoekstra thinks his ad compliments the Asian community. The dude behind the Willie Horton ad is working for Mittens now. Lovely. *&^%$#@! Our Great Orange Satanic Leader gets hateful ad duty. The GOBP were actually some of the first to trash the ad because they're beginning to see the light of day as far as this country's demographics. The guy for the Hoekstra ad is the demon sheep & the "I'm Not a Witch" guy??!! HA! Nasty ads seem to work best in GOBP primaries; well duh, they're hateful SOBs! Nasty ads during the general election campaign don't work QUITE so well.
"Time Marches On!" - Keith got into my diary draft AGAIN!! :D A couple of Canadian news ladies were plugging a sausage competition; insert your favorite juvenile adolescent joke here. ;D A bunch of people in NC ran for Krispy Kreme doughnuts; ya' know, those fresh ARE awfully damn good! A couple of twins love their Johnny Cash - ugh. They need some musical intervention STAT!
#3 "Sun Devils" AKA "Anti - Union Agenda" - The "Show Me Your Papers" state is prepping themselves for some union busting that might make what happened in WI look like Jimmy Hoffa actually intervened there. The FAA reauthorization bill contains language that might curtail union rights of their employees. Kyrsten Sinema is running for Congress now? OK! :) That state is already a "right to work" state? Ugh...The Senate passed that new FAA bill just now. Unions will not be able to collectively bargain there if the GOBP has their way. The majority of the police & firemen unions there ARE GOBP; yea, pi$$ off the cops & firemen! I need to take a bit of issue with Ms. Sinema's comments that what we're seeing is a radical minority of the state; citizens of that state had to vote for those folk!
WPITW - Charles Payne works for FAUX News & is still trying real hard to make that leap that the economy isn't getting better but that poor people don't have it so bad. And, there's my lying crooked sack of $hit Secretary of State (hopefully for not much longer!) Charlie White. Noblesville is just north of me, I know EXACTLY where it is, and it's not been too long since I've been there. He tried to claim his ex - wife's residence was still his residence. Classy huh? John Fleming took an Onion story as fact about an "abortion complex." HA!
#1 "Halftime in America" AKA "Not So Super"- Boss Limbaugh was in my fair city????!!!! CRAP! Now, I've got to defumigate!! I thought Madonna did OK for a 53 - year - old broad; it did this "child of the 80s" proud. :) Boss Limbaugh was in the Patriots box; of course he was! AND, Little Tommy Brady's wife was & is NOT HAPPY with the rest of the Patriots. Tim Burke gets post - Super Bowl analysis. So, if Little Tommy was playing, and Mrs. Little Tommy was in the Patriots box, who was watching their kid? Madonna didn't lip - sync "Like a Prayer"; yes, she probably did the rest of the songs.
