Once again, in my super genius diary skills, I am able to link a "this day in history" to holiday cheer! Composer Ludwig Van Beethoven was born on this date in 1770. AND, said Beethoven gets props from Schroeder in this holiday CLASSIC; go about 1 minute 10 seconds into this clip to see what I'm talking about.
I would've killed for a piano like this one back when I was taking lessons! It's obviously portable, and it can sound like a regular piano, a big fancy organ, or a toy piano; that freakin' rules! :D
BTW, Lucy's still a *itch. ;D
Let's Countdown!
I loved the scene from The Blues Brothers in the intro! But, there wasn’t chicken wire in Iraq. And, was GWB about to break out in "Stand by Your Man"? HA! For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about (and shame on you!), here we go...
#5 "War of Lies" AKA "Iraq Bottom" AKA "The Other Shoe Drops" AKA "War Crimes Confessional" - DICK has given an exit interview – and what an exit it is! DICK & TurdBlossom got different memos about the WMD intelligence. The Iraqi journalist may have been beaten in custody & may face criminal charges. So much for that "spreading democracy" stuff... Santa still thinks I’ve been good; here’s Richard Wolffe! Hee...hee...hee... [insert image of me giggling like a school girl here] DICK may have admitted to a war crime, but neither he nor anyone else will have to answer for it. And, DICK knows it; that’s why he’s speaking so freely about it. Keith, thank you for FINALLY getting to that Senate report; and, the "goodness" keeps coming with a Jonathan Turley visit! Man, why couldn’t Professor Turley have gotten the AG nod? Keith, there will be no punishment for any one in any way because those in Congress who were complicit will be revealed, too. They will not let that happen; they value their own sorry political hides too much. Wow, Jonathan Turley is so good, but I have to take issue with his American citizens "giant yawn" comment about what’s happened. I think (hell, I have to hope) that a great many Americans (Dem, Repub, independent, purple – polka – dotted) are VERY TROUBLED by what’s been done in their name by their government. For all it’s worth, and I know the likelihood of this success is about the same as a blizzard on July 4th, "we the People" have to keep letting our "leaders" in Congress & our reps know that these horrible actions CANNOT STAND.
#4 "Power Play" AKA "It’s Whose Party?" - NANCY PELOSI MUST GO! HARRY REID MUST GO! The 2 of them just make me wanna retch! Senator Leahy is delaying Eric Holder’s confirmation hearings. Son of a *&^%$#@! I’ll repeat an analogy that I’ve said over & over & over again. The Dems and/or Dem "leaders" in Congress are the nerdy kid in the schoolyard during recess that will do ANYTHING to keep from getting beat up or get their lunch money taken away by the resident bully. We have a Dem POTUS; we have a solid majority in Congress – the biggest in YEARS. Dammit, when are they going to start acting like it? The GOP sure as $hit weren’t shy about flexing their authority & ramming their majority down everyone’s throats when they were in charge. START ACTING LIKE WINNERS, DAMMIT! I don’t think Pelosi’s shtick is just a "protocol issue." Her history & her actions indicate otherwise. She’s been an ineffective "Speaker," and POTUS – Elect Obama may not exactly be shy about telling her so. Senator Leahy must still be shell – shocked from his encounter with Heath Ledger in Dark Knight; it was just a movie, Senator!
** Freshmen orientation in the Philippines involves nudity. And, someone got a dirty pizza! Oh well, I’m not going to get upset by a little gravel in my ‘za; it just means more vitamins & minerals. **
#3 "Regulation Ramming" AKA "Power – Stripped" AKA "Damage Control" - Drug companies can’t be asked about what may be in their drugs that may harm us. Other heads of corporations aren’t going to be easily questioned or sued, either. Why am I getting a deja’ vu’ all over again feeling again? So, who’s going to write a 21st century version of The Jungle? I really REALLY hope POTUS – Elect Obama has some peeps keeping track of all this $hit.
BUSHED! "Revisionism – Gate" Who or what gave Dana Perino the shiner? "Revisionism – Gate Part Deux" George Will & Laura Ingram are getting into the revisionism shtick. "Revisionism – Gate III" GWB doesn’t recall saying the Taliban didn’t exist anymore. He’s been hanging around Freddo too long. Oh Keith, the right – wing nutjob meanies are going to take you to the woodshed for saying GWB is "full of crap"! ;D Get your big ‘ol shoes ready for some heaving! Better yet, build a catapult or a trebuchet for the occasion!
WPITW – Mr. Blackwater Eric Prince insists he was only following orders. The Nazis said that, too. TurdBlossom can’t decide if the Gov. Blago stuff is going to hurt Mr. Obama or not. Damn that videotape! "The comedian" never REALLY cared for Senator McCentury & only found him tolerable when he made Gov. TurkeyLover his running mate & gave said "comedian" an image with which to pleasure himself. And, any smart African – American is a threat to "the comedian"; political leanings don’t matter.
#1 "The Wingtip Shuffle" AKA "Shoes Fly, Don’t Bother Me" AKA "Funny Loafers" - Go figure that fellow "Hoosier" David Letterman would have the best zinger for the shoes flung ‘round the world! THAT’S MY BOY! Oh Joel, there’s plenty of more jokes to be made. The steps leading to Congress should be full of shoes!
