The Great One and The Harpie felt they had to escape the White House yesterday.........after two weeks in office. And do you know where they went? It was to their daughter's school where they read stories. Memory serves me that the Obama's lucked out. GWB was reading to grade school children when the 2001 terrorists attacked and he was criticized for being AWOL.
Two weeks in office and he has to "get away". Yes, he's right. He did have to get away from reporters who wanted to grill him about Daschle, Geithner, etc.
The mainstream media, particularly Brian Williams of NBC, assured us that Obama gave us an "I screwed up" whereas GW never did so his humility trumps all.
If Obama hadn't been in such a hurry to push through ill-conceived legislation he might not be in a mess. Yes, He's in a mess and so are we.
Speaking of Robert Gibbs, White House spokesman, which we weren't, I will. His job has to be difficult; lying for the President....daily. I've taken to watching his press conferences, usually after lunch. He's hilarious. He's a one man soap opera. My daughter watches, too. We trade notes on him. He's more clueless than Scott McClellan. Give him a look.

Denny's
My fog brain doesn't pick up on the obvious. TV time is precious for me. A number of years ago it was, 'Please don't take my MTV'. For me it's the same except drop the 'M'. In the last two weeks I've seen a Denny's commercial showing tough guys and cowboys eating foo-foo pancakes. A waitress or whatever says something about, "why not have a real breakfast?" Conservatively speaking, I have seen this commerical fifty times.
This morning, from lucianne.com, comes a story by CNN. Slap me upside the head. I did not realize that Denny's was giving away a free Grand Slam breakfast; two cakes, two eggs, two bacon strips and two sausage links. It took place yesterday at all Denny's locations in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. That's 1,500 locations and, by estimate, feeding an extra 2 million people. This was a very gracious gesture. Actually, it's a business promotion but so what.
The writer for CNN is Jim Kavanaugh. It was a nice article---until he came to the end. I guess it's because we're in politically correct times but was it necessary to make an emphasis of the story be: One breakfast is equal to 44 grams of fat, 56 carbs and 770 calories? Who cares, except media boobs. It was FREE.
When will we learn to leave good enough alone? When will I realize TV has taken over my life?

Lowering The Bar
"The bar that we set is the highest that any administration in the history of this country has ever set" With that pronouncement the Obama Administration has set itself up for a big bowl of failure. Harken back to 1993. The incoming president, Wm J. Clinton, assured the American people that his administration would be the most ethical in American history. It wasn't a week before two of his nominees, Kimba Wood and Zoe Baird, had to excuse themselves as attorney general for financial indescretions. After Clinton took the oath of office it then became a current affairs examination as to who would have to resign next.
Why would anyone want to set themselves up for failure by uttering impossible to live up to pronouncements? This is what the Obamites have succeeded in doing. Good gosh, there are literally hundreds employees in an administration. As my good friend mentioned to me today; consider you're coaching a football team of one hundred. How is it possible to go through a year without one kid being a screw up?
The Messiah is finding his super nova oracle somewhat tougher going than he thought. Wait until the press turns on him.

Words To Live By
"Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter"
Tom Daschle, Congressional Record, 5/7/98 p. S4507
I've given minimal thought to Mr. Daschle this morning. Senate Republicans, even Kay Bailey Hutchinson(R) of Texas, talk about what a 'good guy' the former Senate Majority Leader has always been. Kay, you have gone to the bottom of the 'respect ladder', even below crybaby George Voinovich. I hope Daschle is approved in the same way I wanted Clinton's Surgeon General, Jocelyn Elders approved. A day didn't go by when Bill didn't have to apologize for one of her verbal gaffes. If she wasn't talking about Eric Clapner(who?) she was giving a speech on the need for junior high schoolers practicing masturbation. There'll be a huge cloud hanging over Daschle's and Tim Geithner's collective heads and it's going to give the common man justifiable reason to finger point. Besides, Leno and Lettterman can't bring it upon themselves to lampoon the President so now they can pile on these guys.

Hillary's Embarrassing Speech
We receive a talk show out of Akron, Ohio called Quinn and Rose in the morning. I listen, sometimes. On my favorites list it's a prelude to Laura Ingraham, only. A news update caught my ear on today's show and it came from Rose, the co-host. Yesterday, in front of her husband, daughter Chelsea and a roomful of reporters and White House staff the new Secretary of State took her oath of office from Joe Biden(he muffed it!). Toward the end of her obligatory, thank you's, Hill gave special thanks to her husband. She said, after a long pause, "he left me with a lifetime of........................ all kinds of experiences". We were then treated to a roomful of raucous laughter. How charming.
So, his tawdry behavior was only about sex, huh! Chelsea, along with Bill, laughed with the rest of the room but one would imagine she was dying inside. If not then she comes by her value system naturally. What we have is the newly inducted Secretary of State bringing up the fact that her husband, the former President of the United States, is known to have had his pants down to his ankles while receiving a BJ from girl barely of legal age. If this doesn't illustrate the lack of immorality in this country I don't know what does. (Assume a child's voice for the next sentence) "Mommy, why is everyone laughing"?. Parents, do you even want to try to explain that and why should you have to try?
Say what you will about George W. Bush: He never entered the Oval Office without a coat and tie. Another thing he did immediately after Clinton vacated the Oval Office was to clean and scrub the place.

I Don't Care
It is absolutely sickening reading and listening to the news. What happened to Obama's seven page, sixty-three question background check for potential administration appointees? Today, I'm not angry, anxious, nervous, creative, or any other adjective when thinking of DC politicians. Today, and this will change, I don't care.
Rod Blagojevich is a nothing story only because he's a piker compared to other political hacks. He is irrelevant unless he blows the whistle.
Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico, is "probably" involved in his own 'pay to play' scheme. Obama wanted him to be Sec. of Commerce but after realizing a potential problem Richardson dropped out.
Tim Geithner, now Secretary of the Treasury is a tax cheat. You know this but I'll remind you. He's in charge of the IRS. If you fail to pay, even through oversight, you pay a penalty, possibly doing jail time. He's the decider.
Today, I don't care about Charlie Rangel, either. He's the head of the House Ways and Means Committee. He decides where your tax money is allocated. Charlie owes thousands on his Caribbean property as well as his New York City home. He's a crook, too. Rangel would put to shame Wm. Marcy Tweed and Tammany Hall with his crassness
Tom Daschle, nominated for Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy who heads up universal health care, is knowingly a tax cheat. Tommy boy said he was embarrassed. I get embarrassed, too, when I'm caught. Have you ever seen a guilty person in the courtroom talking to the family of their victim? How often do they say, "I'm sorry"? It's every damned time and why is this? Well, they got caught, that's why. But, Daschle's cronies in the Senate, on both sides of the aisle, say he's a good guy. Both sides say he'll most likely be approved. I heard it mentioned yesterday that it's difficult to say "no" to someone who has been a member of the Good Old Boys Club(Senate).
Can you understand why this prevalent attitude inside the Beltway makes it so difficult to understand what is going on in this country? I'm not a Republican, anymore. I'm certainly not a Democrat. Being an Independent is meaningless and communism is bad news. I might as well say, "I don't care" about everything. We need a movement for the disenfranchised like me.
I'm going to the rec center. Do you know why?
Cuz I don't care.

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?
