Not a darn "this day in history" item for today floated my proverbial boat, so we'll begin tonight on a high note!
LONESOME RHODES, PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE LET THE FAUX NEWS DOOR HIT YA' WHERE THE GOOD LORD SPLIT YA'!!
In case any of y'all have been away from the television machine or the intertubes today... :D So, in honor of the event, I'm doing SPARK on steroids tonight! Look at all the nice fire people who went to help a kitty on a roof - AAAaaaWWWwww! If y'all ever wanted to own a piece of Sing Sing Prison, now's your chance. Jesus has appeared in another non - tortilla related food item!
Finally, I think I've found a distant relative of Senator McCentury's in the Cleveland area; get off my lawn! ;D
On with The Rachel Maddow Show!
"It's Not About the Budget" - Joanne Kloppenburg won the WI SC election!! But, since the margin of victory is so narrow, there's sure to be a recount, and don't put it past the GOBP to pull out every dirty trick they can. Now, if this recount ends up in front of the state supreme court, the justice that Prosser called a "itch" will have a hoot of a decision to make! ;D The race for Milwaukee County Director person was soundly won by the Dem, too - a good day among the CheeseHeads! Governor Scotty responded to yesterday's election by telling Madison to go spark themselves - BRILLIANT. AND, he insulted Milwaukee County, too. Governor Former FAUX News A$$hat's union - busting efforts will probably be a ballot initiative in Ohio in November. Americans for Prosperity (aka these guys)...
will be working hard to fight that OH initiative, and they spent $$$$$$ trying to make sure Mr. Prosser kept his job. These "people" want to absolutely & totally dismantle the Democratic Party, and they think the way to do that is to union bust on steroids 8 days a week. Freedom Works & associated ilk even want the head of Duke Energy sacked because of the mere appearance that Dems might be helped!
Well, let's bring out this little ditty again! :D
"It's Not About the Budget Part Deux" - President Obama's meeting with Speaker Sobbin' Small Price to Pay Goldilocks & Senate Majority "Leader" Harry Reid to try to avoid a government shutdown. Rep. Anthony Weiner thinks there's going to be one because his Bawler of the House is too petrified of tea baggers. Was Rep. Weiner a hoot on the House floor the other day or what??!! ;D
Rep. Weiner would like to see a little more chutzpah from President Obama toward the GOBP on this budget stuff; don't hold your breath on that, honey.
"If You Don't Value It, You Shouldn't be Trusted With It" - AMEN, SISTER RACHEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, if the American electorate would just wake the spark up & realize it. *&^%$#@! Governor Scotty in WI has hired a WI state Senator's mistress & a lobbyist's son (with DUI convictions) in some cushy state gig.
"He's Magic!" - Rep. Paul Ryan claims that his cause..er...uh...budget will drop the unemployment rate to less than 3%. What hallucinogens is he taking these days?! Rep. Ryan got those numbers from the Heritage Foundation. Ah...THAT 'splains it. ;D The housing market will recover, too, and that pesky privatizing Medicare is really a Dem idea. AND, $aint $arah from Wasilla's my BFF on Facebook! HA! ;D
Gail Collins is in studio to talk Rep. Ryan & the GOBP cause/budget. Why the non - concern about numbers? Rachel...Rachel...Rachel...the GOBP uses THE TurdBlossom math, silly! ;D
"Snow Way!" - We get ski jumping in a segment tonight. O...K... Female ski jumpers can't get into the Olympics; some dude actually said out loud that such activity isn't appropriate for ladies. Now, they get to go to Russia for 1 event! Speaking of more cow bell... ;D
"NSFW TransOcean" - Transocean execs got bonuses for their great safety year in 2010 - the year of DeepWater Horizon, boys & girls. *&^%$#@! Ugh...those pictures still gobsmack me. And, a Great Orange Satan diary got a shout - out from Rachel tonight!! :D The execs gave their bonuses to the 11 families of the men who died at DeepWater Horizon; the corporation is doing business as usual.
