Hot News Items

Perusing the news this morning a few names and situations dominate; maybe you'll give them some thought. Al Gore went to Washington to speak to congressmen and women last week. He was treated adoringly. As is usually the case wherever he speaks the temperature is at Absolute Zero. He's like the kid in the cartoon with the storm cloud over his head. And he's a dork, too. Obama laughingly talked about last week's storm and how folks in Chicago are tougher than pantywaist complainers in DC. It's strange how I'm reading many about 1 million citizens without power along with numerous weather related deaths due to massive ice and snow storms. Now, what was that problem we had with FEMA and Katrina or was that a part of Bush Derangement Syndrome?
Tom Daschle didn't pay $128,000 in taxes. That's okay. After all he made $5 million in the last two years so I can understand how big numbers can become confusing. It was a simple mistake so says, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin and Barack, himself. Seems this is the third simple mistake with cabinet posts. My response to Daschle's evading $128,000 in taxes: Consider the way always commented to the late Tim Russert on Meet the Press; "Tim" he'd say, "I'm concerned". Actually, my response is somewhat stronger. I'm PO'd.
Obama held his first news conference with an Arabic TV station from the Middle East. As expected, NBC is more than miffed. For them, that's like your wife having sex with your brother. Interesting that during the election no one could mention that Obama had an Islamic background with Islamic relatives. At the outset of the interview The Man let the world know what we already knew he'd say, "You good-we lousy". He asked the little twerp, Mahmoud Ahmadinajhad, to open the hand of friendship. Mahmoud's response, "get bent"! They asked us for an apology for all we've done wrong to them. To Mahmoud I say, "get double bent"!
Finally, why is it the weirdo news comes from California? Midwest news is typically about a couple from Nebraska being married seventy-five years. In California, there is a new mother. Well, she's not 'new' in that she already has six children but there are another eight babies in her brood. News reporters tried to interview the Dad but "whoa", there isn't one. The mom is a recipient of in vitro. The sadness of this entire event is someone paid for the process. This gives new meaning to the word, 'irresponsibility. It's going to be intriguing getting info this modern day Dr. Mengele. As of today the word is that 'mommy dearest' is looking for a deal from Oprah for 2 million large. If Oprah dodesn't bite, Dr. Phil and Maury will be in line. Does Jerry Springer still have a show?
