Random Thoughts Edition

Hey Kiddos! Having survived some major BS going on, I now return to the opining that I love to do so much.

*Last word on Ted Kennedy. Joe Kline was on a radio program telling nice, heart warming stories about Ted. He was trying to give you a sense of his warmth and charm and how he used to make fun of himself, tell a joke at his expense. Ted use to ask people if they heard any good "Chappaquiddick" jokes lately and if they hadn't, he would tell one! Now there's a real peach of a guy! It's one thing to make jokes about yourself, but when they involve the death of someone because of YOUR recklessness, that is just plain sick. ANY kind thoughts I was having about old Teddy just went out the window.

*Have you heard about this clown Van Jones? He's one of BHO's czars, this one for "Green Jobs" (lots of luck with that) and a self described Communist. (Well now he's back down from those statements.) Any who, this chuckle-head was at a public Q&A when some throw back from the 60's asked him how come the democrats can't get their legislation through when they have the majority, like the Republican's can when they have the majority? His answer? "Because the Republicans are A**holes." What a piece of dog crap. We'll be talking more about this joker as the days go on.

*So, car dealers, how's that "Cash for Clunkers" working out for you? One dealer sold 287 cars and has been paid for four. Another dealer sold 87 and has been paid for three and one dealer told the story about submitting a claim and having it rejected because it "Did not meet the criteria." He resubmitted it and it was rejected again. So he resubmitted it six times before it was accepted. He did not change a word on the form either! Go figure. Now the recipient's of the $4500 are jumping ugly. No one told them the $4500 was taxable! Here's a classic. A dealer gives out the $4500 and doesn't get paid by the government and the person who got the car is taxed for the $4500! BHO doesn't pay a cent to the dealer and collects tax on $4500! What a country! AND YOU WANT THESE PEOPLE TO CONTROL YOUR HEALTH CARE?

*Charlie Rangle has been cheating on his taxes and hiding income, or so we are told. The Congressman who is chairman of the committee that writes the tax laws is himself a tax cheat. It's starting to look like the democrats are going to be forced kicking and screaming to do something about Charlie. Dollar to a donut says nothing will happen, until the elections of '10.

*There is just so much to talk about. A big rally is scheduled for September 12th in Washington DC. Hundreds of buses carrying thousand of protesters are going to fill the city, demanding their country back. What's the chance of that getting on the State Run Media?

*Charlie (see no evil unless it's Bush) Gibson is stepping down as anchor of ABC News. You lefties don't worry, he's being replaced by Diane (Damn don't I look good?) Sawyer, so you don't have to worry about real news being broadcast.

*Johnny Rivers doesn't get the recognition that he deserves as a musician. He belongs in ANY Hall of Fame. You'll put Bobby Womack in but not Johnny Rivers? Give me a break.

*Countin' down the days until the G-20 and the Maggot infested, long haired hippy freaks, dope smokin', FM types come with them to protest. They are all crying that the City of Pittsburgh won't let them wear mask while they protest and do whatever illegal acts they plan on doing. They say they have to have a protest area that is within sight and ear shot of the Convention Center. Here's my plan. The Convention Center is along the Allegheny River. What you do is have the protesters go through a metal detector and then load them onto a barge. Then you tow the barge out into the middle of the river and let them go nuts. No swimmin' in the river either, rent a motel room to take a bath! Don't pollute our rivers! Remember, "Give a hoot, don't pollute!"
