NO!! Not “that” George…
The last two weeks have been hell and I can’t help but to agree with this old man. His rants are almost comforting…
Hat tip to Omar…

The winter flowering heather, an ornamental fauna, has been discovered to have the same effect on men as Viagra. The United States government is testing it now. Just one dose was enough to make Dick Cheney taller.
Former “The Wonder Years” and “The West Wing” co-star Danica McKellar is proving that brainy women are hot.Â
I just [...]
Posted in General Motors, Rush Limbaugh on July 30, 2007 | 6 Comments »
So I read on Crooks and Liars yesterday that General Motors, the company that killed the electric car, had hired Rush Limbaugh, a guy who hates environmentalism almost as much as he hates a day without Oxycontin, to do radio spots talking about what an environmentally conscious company GM is.
And it got the wheels turning.

THE GOOD:
President Bush has thus far resisted the urge to ask new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown “What language do they speak in England?” Brown’s predecessor, Tony Blair, like many of the people whose lives George W. Bush has touched, is now unemployed.
“The Simpsons Movie” is #1 at the box office.  Such success has fallen [...]

Random stuff rattling around in the tubes (Which are indeed not like a truck).
Sara Lee bread recall. You know, just in case you’re one of those picky eaters that prefers your morning toast and honey without metal shavings. Thankfully, the bread I buy from them is the one variety not affected.
As usual, when Memphis merits [...]

There are two pieces of fiction found in the name of the Democratic Leadership Council.
They’re only nominally Democratic.
Not only does it lack leadership, but it’s responsible for our fall from leadership.
See, it turned out that despite what the bad toupee consortium said, America actually DID want a Democratic Party that was distinguishable from the Republican [...]

 (This is a response to Autoegocrat at the Flypaper Theory, Bob at 55-40, and Jim Maynard (No relation) of Queer Notes, all of whom have taken issue with me for arguing against impeaching George W. Bush)
Think about a fire.
You’re not just standing there looking at a burning building, but there are people inside. People that [...]
Posted in John Edwards, Presidential Race on July 26, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Get ready for the wave of stories about how horribly John Edwards plans to raise taxes.  He plans on rolling back the tax breaks to the wealthiest in America, and between the opinion makers in America all in the earning bracket that will see an increase and the corrosive effect of money on our political system, that will be [...]

Jill Hazelbaker, McCain’s top spokeswoman, said the campaign would rely on McCain’s biography to remind voters why they gave him a 19 percentage point win over Bush in New Hampshire in 2000. – AP
Unfortunately, no one’s really sure how McCain is going to actually get that biography out there. The media team that made George [...]

Nothing says “children’s entertainment” like an assault rifle.
Sesame Place is a theme park based on Children’s Television Workshop’s flagship property, “Sesame Street“. So it’s a little puzzling that until July 14th, you could get discounted tickets to take the kids to meet Elmo, Bert, Ernie, and Big Bird by donating to the National Rifle Association’s [...]

Say, don’t most candidates at least announce a campaign before needing a staff shakeup?
 Then again, actor Fred Thompson is playing the role of a lifetime. He’s currently starring in the GOP production “Screwing America Part III” as a “Washington outsider”. The role is a bit of a stretch for him— He worked seventeen years on K [...]

I’m a big fan of Aunt B. over at Tiny Cat Pants. I think she made some terrific points in her post about why there will be no draft.
The only reason there won’t be a draft is because it would be political suicide for the party whose administration enacted it. If the burden of this [...]
Posted in Censure, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Impeachment on July 23, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I’m not in favor of impeachment as a solution for what ails this country. And make no mistake, the officials being removed would be a large part of what ails this country. It would be like removing the most troublesome tumors in a cancer patient— A pain reliever, and a step towards the cure.
 That being said, there’s [...]

The Good:
Trials are ready to begin for an HIV vaccine which promises to not only prevent infection, but could very well cure existing cases.  Expect a large party worldwide if this turns out to be the case. And if you cannot get laid that day, then I gotta wonder what’s wrong with you.Â

“I hate to say it, but I think the hatred toward George W. Bush is just mad. I listen to, sometimes in the car radio, on talk shows, and the venom that comes out of the mouths of some of these women, particularly, I’m not trying to be sexist, but they’re so vicious toward him. [...]

The subject of this week’s Dutch Treat Luncheon will be The Role of New Media (Internet & Blogging) in Memphis Politics. And I can think of no one better to address that than my good friend Cracker, who will take part in the panel discussion.

If any storms are lurking over major American cities right now, tomorrow might be a good time to break. Vice President Voldemort Cheney will be assuming the office of the presidency tomorrow while George W. Bush, in accordance with the wishes of all but about 22% of Americans, gets something shoved up his ass.

Is Nashville just that much cooler than us? They get the lingerie party, and we get boat rides with Carol Chumney.
