As I diary prep here in the "intro," I am mid - day into my first day back at work after my 2 - week vacation; hopefully, the "witty" "urbane" parts of my brainz will be back in order by show time tonight.
Let's get historical for previous July 25ths. In 1965, Bob Dylan "plugged in," and people were pi$$ed! In 2000, GWB picked DICK to be his "VP." Yea, that worked out great!
Walter Payton was born on this date in 1954; Emmett Till was born on this date in 1941.
Let's Countdown...
{Experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by or have a fit like I'm having.}
Keith's got the jacket back. How many of y'all are mourning now? ;D
"Place Your Debts" AKA "Debt Plans Duo" AKA "Obama to Talk on Debt" AKA "Debt Dilemma" - Harry Reid in the Senate has a debt ceiling plan; Speaker Sobbing Small Price to Pay Goldilocks is still apparently hanging onto his plan that got nowhere in the Senate. Senator Reid's plan contains a whole lot of what the GOBP wants; the GOBP still said no. President Obama backs the plan from Senator Reid because
All cuts were previously agreed to by both parties, reduces the deficit more than enough to meet House GOP 'contrived' dollar - for - dollar criteria, removes 'cloud of possible default' through 2012.
OK, let's just take a second to examine this "logic" even though I'm running late here. Just because the GOBP agreed to something in the last 6 months or last week or last night doesn't mean they're going to hold to it. Creation of deficit commission everyone?! AND, the GOBP will make this whole debt ceiling and/or default shtick part of the 2012 campaign no matter what happens.
The GOBP wants an initial debt ceiling then another "super Congress" to decide the other increase by the end of the year. What? Did I hear that correctly?! Sam Stein gets debt ceiling duty again. President Obama's giving a speech at 9:00. I gotta be honest; I'm not sure I have it in me to watch it. I'm beginning to think everyone's full of $hit, but I'm the cynical type. Senator Reid's plan includes "gimicks" that Speaker Sobbing Small Price to Pay Goldilocks was all over when Rep. Paul Ryan introduced them - namely saving $$ by troop draw downs in Afghanistan & Iraq. It's our Great Orange Satanic Leader! :D He called out President Obama for saying that both sides are at fault for all this debt ceiling shtick; that's our great orange Satanic leader! :D
"The Influence of Hate" AKA "Nightmare in Norway" - The accused attacker (who looks just like 1 of Hitler's damn Aryan ideal) admitted to the horrible attacks in Oslo on Friday but refused to plead guilty of terrorist acts. He claimed he did what he did to protect Norway & Europe from over - Islamification or something. Gee, where have I heard THAT before? AND, he got a lot of his manifesto from anti - Muslim websites in this country. Mark Weitzman gets Oslo attack duty in studio tonight. Buddhists were more of a target than Muslims were when he was there?! $HIT!!!!!
"Time Marches On!" - A couple doggies shared a plastic pool to keep cool & tried to drag the mother in the house - HA! :D 500 people in Taiwan gathered to do some hand stands, head stands, and other blood - draining from brain activities. A dude from Down Under won the Tour de France. I think this year is the first year Hubby didn't watch ANY of the race! He's kind of over all the doping $hit.
"James and the Giant Breach" AKA "End of an Empire" - OK, whoever came up with THAT first segment title deserves a bonus in their pay check this week. ;D Some of Little Jimmy Murdoch's testimony has been referred to Scotland Yard because he might have fibbed. Uh, isn't a chunk of Scotland Yard in the hands of the Murdoch boys?! And, I wish all this $hit would lead to the "end of an empire," but I don't think it will. The Murdoch boys & our Miss Brooks might go away, but what they have wrought will not. We get a new face on this Murdoch shtick - Ed Pilkington!
WPITW - 1 of the morning FAUX News toadies this morning had the chutzpah to discount equating Christian extremists to Muslim extremists. Laura Ingrahm did the same damn thing & tweaked anti - Islamic feelings just to make us all feel better. Lonesome Rhodes compared the camp to some sort of Hitler Youth activity. Teh Nazi touretts rises again! *&^%$#@!
"Believe It or Not" AKA "House of Worship" - Only 46% of people who believed that religion should play a big role in being POTUS knew the correct religion of President Obama & Mittens Romney. Well, ain't THAT a damn shock - NOT?! Maysoon Zayid gets to comment on all the religiousity. ;D
