The siege of the Alamo began in San Antonio, Texas on this date in 1836. How did that turn out again? I forget. ;D Ozzy Osbourne took a whiz on said Alamo in 1982; the locals didn't take too kindly to that.
One voice of one of the greatest comedy duos of all time was silenced on this date in 1965.
Stan Laurel of the comedy team Laurel and Hardy died at age 74. This clip is one of my favorites.
Let's Countdown!
#5 "Grand Opposition Party" AKA "The Un – American Way" AKA "Citizen Inane" AKA "Everlasting GOP Stoppers" - Senator Shelby is buying into the "President Obama Isn’t an American Citizen" memo. Are his constituents proud to be represented by him? My Governor, Mitch Daniels, was at the meeting in DC today. He’s a Republican but taking the stimulus money, thank you very much. Of course, Mitch Daniels is in his 2nd term, so he can’t run again anyway, but he’s a pragmatic enough guy to take the money. RICHARD WOLFFE – damn drool on my laptop again! ;D "...weasel words" from Mr. Wolffe was faboo; he haz the smarts and the looks and the... HELLO?! I’m back. Senator Shelby ran a banking committee under GWB?! Aw $hit, no wonder our economy is up a poop creek sans paddle. Senator Shelby should offer a public apology on the Senate floor; I know he won’t, but he should. If other governors don’t take the stimulus money that the GOP governors don’t want, said GOP governors can make that check out to "CityLightsLover"! Governor Crist is still defending the stimulus & President Obama. Wow! He must want to run for the Senate or something.
#4 "Four More Years?" AKA "Obama’s Bush Legacy" - Detainees held in Afghanistan are being denied the right to question why they are being held. G...r...e...a...t. As far as just letting the Bush tax cuts expire, didn’t we all kind of already know President Obama would do that? That’s not a huge shock, but the detainee & "state secret" & White House email developments ain’t so grand. Ya’ know, to defend President Obama & possibly open myself up for flaming here, there’s been a few other dozen things on his mind over the last month or so. He has taken steps to at least try to get our country’s economy out of the terlet. We have a stimulus bill – not a perfect one – but a stimulus bill. He is trying to help homeowners. People in our country are suffering. All of the ills committed by 8 years of GWB are not going to be erased over night.
** What a shocker...freaks at a cycling event?! Hubby was a cyclist in college, and I’ve seen some freaks; I’ve seen A LOT of freaks. We have bullet – proof hair pieces?! Damn! Rev. Phelps & his ilk showed up at a funeral for one of the victims of the crash in Buffalo; others drowned out said ilk – YAHOO! God TRULY bless America! That flub – up came from Will Smith came from a Ball State University student? A fellow "Hoosier"?! Kewl! And, he’s even employed! **
#3 "Post Outrage" AKA "Post, Racial" AKA "Outrage & Action" - The NAACP is now speaking out against the horrible cartoon by saying that the cartoon was basically advocating the assassination of President Obama. Julian Bond has sure seen his fair share of violence in his lifetime; I’ll trust his opinion on this score. I’m not holding my breath for an actual honest – to – goodness apology from the Post or NewsCorp or Pirate Murdoch or anyone else associated with this travesty.
StillBUSHED! "Executive Privilege – Gate" TurdBlossom was a no – show in front of Conyers’ committee again today. "Legacy – Gate" Ari Fleischer is still carrying the WMD water bucket for the GWB administration. "Forever Partisan – Gate" Which George Bush trashed Gov. Crist? It was a nephew?! Oh great...
WPITW – Fred Barnes thinks Bristol Palin was REALLY saying that abstinence was realistic. Bristol’s mom must have told him to say that. Chris Wallace is making his dad proud again concerning AG Holder’s comments of last week. Mitch McConnell is channeling Joe T. Plumber – BRILLIANT!
#1 "Winning Words" AKA "Freeing Speech" - How ‘bout Dustin Lance Black’s speech last night?! Wow... And, I am pleased as punch to have been wrong about Sean Penn winning Best Actor, but this fact just goes to show (here I go again preparing myself for flames) that the state of California seems like 2 totally different countries within one border. Its citizens voted to deny loving stable homosexual couples the right to marry, but members of the Academy voted to award Sean Penn the Best Actor Oscar for playing a martyred gay rights leader. What a damn world... Hollywood doesn’t like Michael Moore?! Maybe, they’re not so damn dumb (diving under my bed to avoid flames)!
