In a "shout out" to THIS guy, let's remember that on May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens volcano in Washington state exploded, leaving 57 people dead or missing.
Those people who survived thank their lucky stars for volcano monitoring!
There's just a couple birthdays I'll note for today. Reggie Jackson (aka "Mr. October") is 63 today. Yea, he played for the Yankees during his glory years, but about a minute 55 seconds into this video, he was playing for the California Angels when he tried to "kill the Queen." ;D
And, happy 39th birthday to the SNLer who gave us "...the fancy pageant walkin'..." THANK YOU, TINA FEY! This YouTube has been "disabled by request," so you'll have to click on the link - sorry!

I think I've figured out another reason why it's been 26 days since the Mannity volunteered to be waterboarded. Not only is he psyching himself up to do it on my birthday a week from Wednesday, but he's taken to staying home & licking his crotch just because he can! Here kitty...kitty... indeed! ;D
Let's Countdown!
#5 "Onward, Christian Soldiers" AKA "Holy War in Iraq" AKA "Bible Study" - Oh c’mon, separation of church & state is SO pre – 9/11 thinking. Rummy liked to use the Bible & war imagery on the cover sheets for the intelligence briefings for GWB. Yea, Jesus was all over that war stuff. 1 Muslim analyst at the Pentagon & a few others actually complained, but Rummy, GWB, et al appreciated the cover sheets. THERE’S RICHARD WOLFFE [drool]! Those under GWB knew he was a simpleton in so many ways GWB would be easily exploitable to further others' ends. Rummy also held up the deployment of active – duty forces to aid rescue efforts in New Orleans in Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath. My Mr. Wolffe made a faboo point; the Muslim world has probably seen these cover sheets & probably aren’t happy campers. Would releasing the photos be THAT much worse? Why do I feel like I’m back in Sunday school all of a sudden? Rev. C. Welton Gaddy better watch that he doesn’t get drummed out of whatever church he preaches in; what he said would border on heresy with some "Christians."
#4 "Notreiety" AKA "Controversy & Communication" - Has the fire & brimstone stopped falling in South Bend? None of it drifted toward Indianapolis, anyway. And, I love love LOVE that people are FINALLY connecting some of the dots toward the fact that not peep one was heard in protest of the death – penalty – lovin’ – Iraq – invadin’ GWB giving a commencement address. The crowd shouted down just the couple of protesters at the ceremony. President Obama’s sounding awfully reasonable in this abortion issue; we sure can’t have THAT! E.J. Dionne was a "good Catholic boy" growing up. I wonder if the President of Notre Dame will face any kind of no – confidence vote after all this. Oh E.J., the "conservatives" are going to have a herd over ANYONE President Obama picks for the SCOTUS nominee; there will be no pleasing any of them.
** An arch – conservative newspaper in Pittsburgh basically called out the Mannity for not being waterboarded yet! HA! OK, I don’t know if my brain cells are shot, or if I’m still thinking back to my Sunday school flashback from the first segment, but I can see how some might think that Cheeto looked like Jesus! Golly! Who said Catholics don’t know how to have fun – racing saints?! A dude in South Korea learned to play pool sans cue. Mrs. Impeached Gov. PottyMouth (who apparently has quite the potty mouth of her own) is taking her hubby’s spot on the "reality" show. Belgium body builders ran off before the steroid testing guy could make them whiz in a cup. Jon Gruden is working for ESPN; I guess if they paid him enough, he can think they have some credibility. **
#3 "Torture for a Lie?" AKA "Cheney Family Lies" - Keith, it’s about damn time you tackled DICK’s spawn! ‘Ol Lizzy didn’t deny that dear ‘ol dad may have used torture to elicit false confessions about a link between AQ & Iraq to justify our invasion – OOPS! Dad might waterboard her for that – or shoot her in the face! Oh, and President Obama is UnAmerican. Interrogators at Gitmo were pressured to produce evidence that AQ & Iraq were linked from DICK’s & Rummy’s offices. DICK’s going to speak in front of a bunch of "friendlies" later on in the week. When’s he going to slither from his secret undisclosed location to show up on Countdown or The Rachel Maddow Show?! What a chicken - $hit. If he’s so damn proud of what he did, he should be going ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE that’ll give him a microphone. I think Keith & Rachel would do that, don’t cha’ think?! On another subject, Speaker Pelosi needs to do whatever is in her power to call the GOP’s bluff & release EVERY SINGLE DAMN BRIEFING, MEMO, etc. She’s usually such a good CYA politician; I can’t believe she’s handling this ilk so badly.
WPITW – The guy responsible for giving John Yoo a column is blaming the resulting outrage on bloggers. The Mannity doesn’t quite know his history when it comes to the replacement of U.S. Attorneys. BillO wants to protect us all from those who wish to invade our privacy. O...K...
#1 "WTF!?! Moment" - Michael Steele thinks gay marriage will be bad for small businesses. Weddings are big business, dear! Is he married? Maybe, Mr. Steele’s wedding WASN’T big business. And, as my silly – but – cynical morning radio silly guys say, if you have gay marriage, you might have gay divorce; some lawyers will LOVE that! The passing of Prop 8 in California cost jobs, tax coin, marriage license fees, etc. Wow, look at all those BILLION dollar figures!
