Funky Friday

Obama takes a TelePrompter with him where ever he goes. Is it because he doesn't want to sound like Porky Pig for each speech?
Ever seen the movie, Being There? It stars Peter Sellers. He is a dimwitted gardener who becomes President of the United States by saying absolutely nothing. His acolytes didn't realize his ineptness. Obama could be this guy when it comes to the big picture except he's no dummy. The rest of us seem to have been duped, though. See the film. It's funny.
I read today that two more appointees to the Treasury Department have changed their minds about working with Tim "tax cheat" Geithner. Geithner said two days ago that the government was going to track down tax violators and use the full extent of the law to bring them to justice. Also, the appointee to be Surgeon General has changed his mind; cited the usual excuse, needs to spend more time with his two daughters with a third on the way. Yeah, sure. I gave that phony excuse a couple of times when I was coaching and knew the upcoming year meant I was going to have a horrid team and could possibly get fired.
Paul Begala and James Carville of CNN and former advisers in the Clinton administration, according to Politico Magazine, team up via the telephone for daily conference calls with Rahm "Dead Fish" Emanuel to plan strategy. It seems they are the ones who have derived the 'get Rush' campaign. Speculation is running rampant that the reason they are best friends is each is uglier than the other. What was Mary Matalin thinking?
Senator James Coburn,(R) Oklahoma, was asked which example of pork spending bothered him most. It was a difficult pick but his choice was $3.8 million to keep bricks and steel on the ground from the already in ruins former Detroit Tiger Stadium.
Barney Frank wants to put in jail all those who were responsible for the home mortgage mess. I hope he starts with himself. His former boyfriend, Herb Moses, is a former Fannie Mae executive. Fannie Mae donated forty thousand large to Bawney Fwanks campaign.
I have no idea why Herb and Bawney aren't an item any more; might be a story line for The National Enquirer.
Al Gore had a global warming conference yesterday. Same old story: he never takes questions from the audience.
I read, this morning, that losing weight helps reduce the pain of osteoarthritis. Golly, I hope so. It's either that or a hip amputation. In either case I'll be significantly lighter.
