I'm sorry about ditching last night. I was shaking crazy angry & knew I wouldn't be fun to work or play with; I really need a job change.
Did Mittens break into "My Kind of Town (Chicago Is)" or anything last night? ;D
Let's take a look back at past March 21sts. On this date in 1963, Alcatraz was emptied of its last inmates. Well...not quite all of them... ;D
On March 21, 1965, more than 3,000 civil rights demonstrators led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. began their march from Selma to Montgomery, AL.
Finally, in a birthday that makes me wanna yell, "You damn kids, get off my lawn!"...
"Ferris Bueller" is 50 today!!!!!!!
Let's Countdown...
#5 "Gettin' Sketchy" AKA "Romney Rides Again" - 76% of IL GOBP voters stayed home yesterday?! Wow! And, this Bears fan LOVED Senator Durbin's comment about getting more folk at a Packers rally in downtown Chicago. :D Man on Dog got his clock cleaned a little bit - losing by double digits. Mittens has more - than - double the amount of delegates as Man on Dog; I bet Man on Dog wishes he could Etchasketch that math away. :D So, will Eric Fehrnstrom keep his job in the Mittens campaign? Mittens DID say he liked to fire people. Jeb Bush kind of sort of endorsed Mittens today. Both Man on Dog & Newt's peeps poo - pooed the endorsement. Dick Armey's FreedomWorks has kind of sort of endorsed Mittens, too?! THAT is big! Man on Dog hopes his campaign fortunes turn in LA on Saturday, and Newt is playing the "world will end" game if President Obama wins in November. Our Great Orange Satanic Leader gets the post - jocularity analysis after last night's fun in the "Land of Lincoln." The turnout in Illinois yesterday was a new high in low. I have a BRILLIANT new idea for Obama re - election swag - little blue Etchasketch key chains with "Obama 2012" on them! Huh? HUH?! If anyone runs with this idea, I want credit for it! ;D Nate Silver's in studio to number crunch last night. Mittens has 2.5 times more delegates than Man on Dog. He would have to choke on the trail in biblical proportions for him to NOT get the nomination. Turnout at midterm elections don't necessarily dictate a high turnout in the next election. Nate, however, thinks turnout will do an uptake in hopes of defeating President Obama. President Obama's leading in VA over each MENSA candidate now, but Nate warns against taking polls in individual states too seriously at this point.
#4 "Breaking News: Sanford City Commission Passes Vote of 'No Confidence'..." AKA "Delayed Justice" AKA "Groundswell" - A young African - American man was shot by a night watchman - type person. The only thing Trayvon Martin had on him was a package of Skittles. The man who shot him, George Zimmerman, was accused by a past girlfriend of domestic violence. Mr. Zimmerman has not been arrested at this point. OWS marched in support of the Martin family, and the parents have spoken out, too. Mr. Zimmerman's 911 call has been made public. Lonesome Rhodes decided to blame the victim; stay classy there, Lonesome! *&^%$#@! NAACP president Ben Jealous is commenting on this horrid story; he's wanted the police chief gone since day one. It sounds like this police department has a hell of a history. This Zimmerman guy talked to the police nearly every day? Wow! Mr. Zimmerman still has his gun permit, too. Nice. *&^%$#@! He also wasn't checked for drugs or alcohol, but Trayvon's dead body was. The FBI & DOJ are investigating, and a grand jury has been summoned. Trayvon was a good looking kid. Absolutely horrible...
"Time Marches On!" - A kid in MI wanted to break a reclining record. There was a President Obama look - alike contest in Columbia. A damn complicated cork screw opens & pours a bottle of wine.
#3 "War on Women" - A female MENSA state rep in the "Show Me Your Papers" state, Terri Proud, wants to force women who want an abortion to watch one beforehand. OK, let's videotape this "lady's" next Pap Smear & pelvic exam from the doctor's point of view & broadcast it live on the internet & put it on cable! Doctors might be also immune from lawsuits if they don't tell women of possible birth defects, and "the fairer sex" on birth control there will have to provide evidence to their employers as to exactly why they're taking the stuff. All these draconian laws are from MENSA women. Women & girls, don't move to the "Show Me Your Papers" state! Chad Campbell is a colleague of these "lovely" ladies. He's not thrilled about all this legislation; I bet a lot of the women in the state legislature aren't thrilled, either. Rep. Campbell claimed his state has been "taken over." Uh dear, your state gave us Barry Goldwater & William Rehnquist & Ed Meese; bat$hit has thrived there for a long damn time.
#2 "Roughing the Passer" - Sean Payton got the hammer pounded down on him today from the NFL for his role in the Saints bounty scandal - a one year suspension without pay! And, Tim "Buddy Christ" Tebow may or may not be heading to the Jets. OK, I've got LOTS to say about this. ;D Could he "cut it" in such a den of sin? And, why can't Times Square be the Times Square of the 1970s instead of the Disney version today? What do I tell the rats I arranged to met him at the airport? I guess we may not have to worry about a forced redesign of the Statue of Liberty to a "Tebow" position! And, the Jets must really DESPISE Mark Sanchez!! The Saints general manager & some assistant coaches were suspended, too. The defense guy who thought of the damn idea is suspended indefinitely. In case y'all have been under a rock, Peyton Mannning is a Denver Bronco, now. So, if the NFL really wants to milk a story for all it's worth, there will be a Colts - Broncos game this next season. Tim Burke gets NFL duty! Mr. Tebow might get to try to convert the heathens in Jacksonville - or not. The NFL owners & players still really aren't working or playing well with each other, so Mr. Goodell had to at least look like he gave a $hit about player safety.
#1 "Shaken Up" AKA "Etch a Mitt" - Michael Musto gets to review the best of the worst (or the worst of the best) of Mittens spark ups! :D Man on Dog & Newt had a FIELD DAY with that comment. A Yo - Yo would be a good comparison, too! I think people will have a more visceral reaction to putting Seamus on the hood of the truck.
