Here we go again. This is not far from where I live. So far they’re not reporting any fatalities.

Four students were injured after a 14-year-old allegedly walked into the lunchroom at Madison Junior/Senior High School in Middletown, Ohio, and started firing, authorities said today.

Lindsey Graham is an Asshole

Sorry to hit and run - I have to get my taxes done. I ran across this article on Yahoo this morning. If someone feels it has merit please do a diary on it. Who made Graham the official saber rattler for the US anyway?

I was like many here, hoping that Clint was, in some strange way, punking the gop and r-money or that he is getting a little senile and just went on a little wandering adventure with his mouth and forgot to include his brain. Well, forget that. It appears Clint did a post convention interview with The Carmel Pine Cone. http://www.pineconearchive.com/...

"President [Barack] Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people," Eastwood told the paper. "[Mitt] Romney and [Paul] Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that's what everybody needs to know. I may have irritated a lot of the lefties, but I was aiming for people in the middle."

Then "The Pine Cone" had to throw in a little of their unbiased reporting.

Eastwood is a liberal on social issues such as gay marriage and abortion, but he has strongly conservative opinions about the colossal national debt that has accumulated while Obama has been president, his failure to get unemployment below 6 percent, and a host of other economic issues.

So, maybe 'Ole Clint' is like most of the rightwing knuckle-draggers - just ill informed, low information voters.

Even into his 80s, Eastwood has an unprecedented record of success in Hollywood, and is still making two movies a year. He’s currently starring in “Trouble with the Curve,” and is about to direct a remake of “A Star is Born” — things he obviously couldn’t do if he were a befuddled senior citizen. To locals who know him, the idea that he is uninformed or senile is laughable.

So, there you have it. Eastwood is your typical, overprivileged 1 percenter. Oh, and did I mention racist?

Or as Tom Harkin so eloquently called Eastwood,

“the perfect icon of the Republican tea party: an angry old white man spewing incoherent nonsense.”

Setting: A city street with those narrow alleys attached. Possibly an old time setting.

Commercial: A guy is walking down the street (the camera is viewing like the guy would be) when he hears “pssst pssst hey buddy come here, I wanna show ya somethun. (seedy looking character with a heavy NY accent (sorry NY Kossacks) and a toothpick in his mouth) Guy walks into the alley where the seedy guy is holding a bag that is tied shut. Seedy guy says “hey, I got this sweet little pig in this bag that I can let you have for, let’s say, 10 bucks.” Guy says “not bad, untie the bag so I can see it.” Seedy “oh no man I can’t do that. This pig will jump out and we’ll never catch it. Trust me this is one sweet little pig, it’ll feed your family for a week, trust me.” Guy “I don’t know….” Seedy “ hey man look at me, I’m an honest guy, ya gotta trust me.” Seedy (this part optional) yells over his shoulder “hey honey! I’m I an honest guy or what?” Seedy’s wife appears and says “this man is golden.” Guy buys pig.

Next scene: Guys enters his kitchen were wife is and says “honey, I just bought this sweet little pig from this guy on the street.” Wife looks at him suspiciously. Guy opens bag and a skunk comes out.

Words come on screen with a voice over. “America, don’t buy a pig in a poke. Tell Mitt Romney to release his tax returns.

I've been following Discovery Channels 100 Greatest Americans for some time now and I just found the 100 finalists on their web site. I've always suspected that Discovery leaned to the right, the producers and the viewers, but after seeing this list I can now say that this is a fact. Granted there are a few people on this list that most Kossacks will agree with, but look closely. This is suppose to be the peoples choices and may well be, but you can bet the wingnuts worked this over pretty well by stacking the Discovery website. It's kind of scary to see what some people consider great, but its just opinions. Anyway, I realize this diary is a bit out of the norm, but I thought you might find it amusing. The following is in alphabetical order, Discovery will announce the winners in June - wanna bet it's the chimp? Read More
