I'm making note of only 1 event for "this day in history." Beatles guitarist George Harrison was born in Liverpool, England on this date in 1943.
I'll let the following 2 videos speak for themselves.
First, something from the Beatles...
Now, my favorite non - Beatles George Harrison song...
RIP Mr. Harrison. You are so missed.
Let's Countdown.
#5 "Bobby’s Big Night" AKA "Jindal VS. the Volcano" AKA "Response and Responsibility" - Gov. Jindal may have stretched the truth a bit (to be charitable) in his Katrina story last night. OK, this segment was the most I heard of Bobby’s speech last night. When is he going to start repeating, "I think I can...I think I can...I think I can..."? Gadzooks! And, he was roundly PANNED by CONSERVATIVES – except for "the comedian." OK, he’s back on the drugs again. When’s his next appointment to whiz in a cup?! He’s getting fatter, too. I’m sure the conservative pundits are quaking in their goose – stepping boots that "the comedian" called them out today. Oh my, Richard Wolffe was PERFECT brain & eye medicine after "the comedian"! Hey! Richard’s polishing his comedic chops these days; I LOVE IT! ;D If Bobby Jindal is the "future" of the GOP, the Dems should be in power for a long damn time if they can avoid fighting among themselves. Bobby doesn’t like the volcanoes, either. So, there’s no need to send money to study them because a volcano never killed anyone in Louisiana. Paul Krugman was speechless for a bit, too! Mr. Krugman doesn’t think the banks will be nationalized, and he’s not crazy about that prospect. Why isn’t Paul Krugman in the Cabinet? Would he have to have taken that big of a pay cut from teaching at Princeton?!
#4 "21st Century Robber Barons" AKA "Attraction of Rules" AKA "Bank Accountability" - The bank system is going to be overhauled – I hope. Banks have been asked about what they’re doing with all the TARP coin; less than 5% responded. What a damn shock. So, are bank execs getting "retention awards" or not? I’m dyin’ to know! Yea, I already know; don’t bother answering. VP Biden is threatening to use "shame" to get bank execs to straighten up & fly right. Yea, that’ll work. C’mon Joe, you can do better than that! How ‘bout opening up a can of whoop a$$?! Wall Street’s going to "...kick and scream and yell..." about being regulated? TOO F*CKIN’ BAD!
** Golly, I gripe at Hubby if he’s just a little scratchy on his pretty face. Not shaving for that many years is just...well... $hit! Look at the freaky fish! I know people in Monterey, CA that I could stay with; I should go see that sucker! A guy in Australia got caught stealing a car because he locked himself in it. Peter Griffin locked himself in a car, too! Ya’ think the guy in Australia is a Family Guy fan? **
#3 "Twits" AKA "Twits A – Twittering" AKA "Twittering Congress" - The GOP can’t handle the Twitter, even though Newt Gingrich is telling the GOP "faithful" to do so. Keith can’t figure out the Twitter; heaven bless Keith! ;D I’ll stick with texting on my BlackBerry & DailyKos, thank you. I disagree with Craig Crawford; I don’t need to know that much about Congress critters "personal lives." I like Craig, but there are some things I just don’t need to know.
StillBUSHED! "Investi – Gate" There is going to be a pre – "Truth Commission" meeting next week. NO DAMN COMMISSION. And, Speaker Pelosi ain’t crazy about the whole "immunity" thing; I hope she didn’t just tell Rachel Maddow what she knew Rachel wanted to hear. "Rove – Gate" TurdBlossom was in Schaumburg, IL on Monday at a GOP fund – raiser when he was supposed to be in front of Conyers’ committee. "Nursing – Home – Gate" Nursing home inspectors are now federal employees, which means they don’t have to testify at hearings to prove mistreatment, etc.
WPITW – A columnist at Politico.com thought Keith muttered, "Oh God" when Gov. Jindal began his speech. Mr. Bull Snort is still talking out of his hind quarters about union salaries. The Mannity thinks the stimulus bill has 9000 earmarks, and a Dem in Congress called him out on it.
#1 "First Puppy" AKA "Doggy Decision?" AKA "Bow, Wow" - Michelle Obama claims they may get a Portuguese water dog – the same kind of dog Senator Kennedy has. Too bad the Obamas aren’t cat people! ;D Michelle has also made it clear that the girls will be "collecting" the dog logs. Now comes the never – ending struggle with names. I’m guessing Cujo won’t pass muster. ;D Keith, doggies don’t "get" who/what Tigger is, silly goose! Here is why the Obama family should be cat people - courtesy of George Carlin. If you don't want to hear some of the "7 words," don't listen!
