Ladies & gents, boys & girls, & FOKRs of all ages, every once in a great while, I am damn DAMN brilliant!
I have found video on teh YouTubes the encompasses a "this day in history" item AND a major news story of today, so let's get on with it! On March 23, 1908, Joan Crawford, the Academy Award-winning actress who epitomized the glamorous Hollywood movie star & Mother of the Year pre - $aint $arah from Wasilla, was born. Avoid those wire hangers, y'all! ;D And, on the anniversary of the birth of 1 Hollywood icon, we heard news of another icon completing her journey on this planet.
For all the times she was at death's door before today, she lived a hell of a full life to the hilt all the way! If you believe in heaven & think Richard Burton's there & think Elizabeth Taylor's on her way, can you imagine what THAT reunion will be like?! ;D And, what if Eddie Fisher'sthere, too??!! AND and, the aforementioned YouTube that links these 2 events is right here. :)
Now, it's time for SPARK! Check local listings, but it's now tornado season in tornado alley which rumbles right through your humble diarist's fair state; THIS is a heck of a reason to cancel the planned state - wide drill! This gentleman has seen The Exorcist 1 too many times. I'd wager people in this town in the northern regions of "the land of David Letterman" really like Python's Holy Grail shtick; here's why! ;D Finally, we'll end with an "AAAAAaaaaaWWWWWWwwww!!!" moment from the animal kingdom. :D
On with The Rachel Maddow Show!
"Precedent of the United States" - Holy crap! Richard Engel & his crew were in the middle of some $hit in Libya today!! And, in my humble opinion, pretty much whenever any American equipment or soldiers are in a place where there's shooting or things blowing up all around, I call that a war zone. Rachel reminded us that is was GWB that brought Colonel Kodaffy back from the diplomatic deep freeze. We helped train some of the Colonel's military? ALL RIGHT! *&^%$#@! OOPS! Only coalition aircraft are flying overhead, and they are targeting forces that are targeting civilians. Keith Olbermann did his first post - Countdown "special comment" about Libya, so if y'all are having a "Keith Ache," have some medicine. :D
Everyone in the administration is still insisting that our country's not going to be in charge of this mission. And, everyone is insisting that President Obama didn't need to go to Congress before authorizing our role in the bombings in Libya. Well, he learned that move from the dude in the job before him, yes? *&^%$#@! NATO's role in Libya still isn't clear at this point. Is it possible for our country to be in Libya or any other place in a military capacity on a limited basis? Me thinks not, but what do I know?
"Live from Libya" - Kodaffy's peeps are still pummeling Benghazi; that's where Richard Engel was when he & his crew got their little "surprise." EEEKKK! Some of the rebels have toy guns?! Lovely. AND, the dude went back to get his toy gun??!! THESE guys are fighting Kodaffy???!!! Oh brother. Here is Richard in 1 piece!! :D
It sounds like other forces - including ours - wouldn't have to do much to take out Kodaffy's $hit; rebels are creating want ads for mercenaries, too. Again...lovely.
Rachel asked about what it would take to get Kodaffy to leave; he won't do it. I've said before; I'll say again that he's going the Hitler - Eva Braun route.
"Unpopulism" - Well, I guess I should be happy Mitchie's not in that pic of Rachel's little rag - tag group of bat$hit GOBP Governators! ;D The TN legislature's pushing a union - busting bill that the GOBP Governor doesn't even want - brilliant! I wonder if Ohio Governor Johnny's wishing he was back at FAUX News these days? He's got a whopping 30% approval rating; well, y'all voted for him or didn't vote at all. So, citizens of OH ain't exactly blameless. Same for the PA Gov...same for the MI Gov...same for Gov. Scotty! Buyer's remorse doesn't do a heck of a lot of good right now - especially in states that are stuck with their $hitacular Governors; again, ya' got who you voted for or stayed home & didn't vote at all that day. Senator Sherrod Brown's in studio to talk bat$hit GOBP Governors - especially the 1 in his fair state. ;D There could be a ballot refrendum in OH in November about all Governor Johnny's $hit!
"Happy Birthday to Health Reform" AKA "Debunktion Junction" - HCR is a year old - ugh. Can we talk about Japanese nuclear reactors instead??!! *&^%$#@! I'd so rather get a nightly physics lesson than remember the HCR battle. WI Senator Johnson claimed that HCR would've killed his daughter because she would've been "death paneled" - CLASSY! *&^%$#@! What were CheeseHeads smoking on election day last year??!!
Newtie's for intervenion in Libya before he was against it before he was for it before he was against it before he was for it. ;D
