I think most of you are aware already, but here's an update of what's going on with Keith at Current. The only comment I'll make is that I can promise there will be a diary here if there's a show; not too many guarantees in life, but that's one. :D
It's time for "this day in history." On this date in 2004, Pete Rose publicly admitted that he'd bet on baseball while manager of the Cincinnati Reds. On this date last year, Rep. John of Orange became Speaker Sobber, and he's done a heck of a job, too! ;D January Jones, the former Mrs. Don Draper for you fellow Mad Men fans out there, is 34 today! She's also in 1 of my favorite movies. :D
Finally, Robert Duvall is 81 today. Yes, this is the scene from Apocalypse Now. ;D
Let's Countdown!
What the hell?! We're down to sweatshirts now??!! It's all Casual Friday all the time at the show now, I guess. Oh well... :)
#5 "Rick's Cabaret" AKA "Santorum Says" - Wow, with that first segment title, if I was a fan of Casablanca, I'd be PI$$ED. By the way, I'm not a huge fan of Casablanca; it's hugely overrated. Man on Dog's trying to convince us all now that he's not racist & doesn't want to make life difficult for "black people" even though there's videotape evidence to prove otherwise. And, that excuse, really?! He must think/hope/pray that we're all damn dumb. We're not all that damn dumb, Man on Dog; MENSA members of your own damn party are that damn dumb. He's also claiming he never said "man on dog" when talking about teh gayz - even though there's evidence otherwise. Oh, and President Obama didn't get OBL; GWB got OBL. That froth's gotten to what little is left of his brain. OK, I'm not sure how much more of this delusional $hit I can take! Mittens still has a comfortable lead in NH, though; Man on Dog's in 3rd. Newtie's ready to go to the NAACP convention to tell they why they should reject food stamps. Newtie also now doesn't like Super PACs; he liked Citizens United, though. ;D Hilary Shelton's with the NAACP; he's just thrilled with the most recent overt racism of GOBP candidates. Man on Dog might not believe this, but white folk get food stamps, too. 80% of IA citizens who get food stamps are white like him. The safety net people like Man on Dog seek to destroy would hurt lots of Caucasians. Wait, I better say "white people"; them MENSA members probably think Caucasians are a mountain range or something. ;D Props to George Carlin on that observation! The NAACP always invites the GOBP nominee to speak to their convention. Ken Vogel gets to chat about what's going on in NH these days between Newtie & Man on Dog - apologies for the brain - bleach inducing image THAT created. ;D Newtie was in the damn movie at the basis of the Citizens United case?! HA! Hoisted on his own damn petard - or whatever that damn Bard line is. :) Man on Dog got schooled on gay marriage in NH today by a group of college students. :D
#4 "Pay to Win" - The Montana Supreme Court has said "Nuts!" to Citizens United; they ain't allowin' no stinkin' corporate campaign coin in their elections. There will be an appeal, so Citizens United could end up in front of SCOTUS again. Oh goody. *&^%$#@! Matt Taibbi gets Montana SC duty; that's gotta make him pretty happy. People are really trying at a local & state level to thwart the effect of Citizens United, but the "conventional wisdom" in this & most campaigns just don't address nor pay attention to it or acknowledge it. Mr. Matt thinks what's happened in MT could spread to other states. I'm sure WI would beg to differ - not if Gov. Scotty has anything to say about it. Even if Citizens United gets the kibosh somehow somewhere, big corporate money will find a way.
"Time Marches On!" - Keith got into my diary drafts AGAIN!!!!!!! He didn't mention Mad Men or nothin', though, so I got aTHAT on him. :D A girl can do creepy things with her eyebrows. KITTIES! Keith even said "Down goes Felix!" One of my orange boy tabbies is Felix. :) How 'bout that kitty giving the other kitty a swipe on the a$$?! And, to please the doggie peeps, we end with a doggie who LIKES the guitar.
#3 "WisconSIN" AKA "Walker and Friends" - Wouldn't it be loverly if our own Puddytat's top - of - the - rec - list diary was the inspiration for this segment?! :D Some of Governor Scotty's BFFs could find themselves in the Grey Bar Hotel deep in Santorum. ;D They are accused of stealing money designated for military families. So, again, the next time you hear a GOBPer say they're for the troops... We've got "child enticement" charges, too?! The recall signature deadline is January 17; Governor Scotty even admitted to the American Enterprise Institute there will probably be enough signatures for the recall process. However, I cannot BELIEVE his tongue did not go screaming outta his pie hole due to the toxic environment when he was talking about awful out - of - state union money going into the effort when out - of - state Kochtopus money has helped him survive this long! *&^%$#@! Ain't it just a *itch when people who don't like you figure out THEY can use Citizens United tactics, too? ;D Graeme Zielinski gets recall & "mug shot" duty. Governor Scotty made those "out of state" comments in Washington DC. Last I checked, Washington DC ain't in WI. :) Mr. Zielinski just echoed my hypocrisy out - of - state comments from just above; great minds think alike!
WPITW - Rep. Ron Paul & some group are trying to say Jon Huntsman is an agent of the Chinese government. OK then! Wow, that sucker looked like 1 of those horrible anti - Japanese WWII propaganda posters. Sheriff Joe wants the DOJ to give him the name of every person the DOJ interviewed in its investigation. 3 freshmen MENSA members of the NH state house wants state law to be based on the Magna Carta. What?! Noah's diary from the ark ain't good enough for them??!!
#1 "Now You See It..." AKA "Disappear Here" - Scientists from Keith's alma mater have figured out a way to make someone or something invisible for a very short amount of time. Whatever...I'm still holding out for a jet pack! :D Nice Dr. Strangelove imitation there, honey, for the scientist dude at Cornell! :D Here's Maysoon Zayid for invisibility cloak duty! She's all for the random act of violence for her 40 trillionth of a second for her invisibility; that's a joke, folks!
