the NFL is socialist!

suck on that, teabaggers

Who MUST President Obama fire?

OK, a loss of 60-plus seats in the House and 6 Senate seats is a disaster.  Luckily the teabaggers threw up certified lunatics like Joe Miller, Sharron Angle, Ken Buck and Christine O'Donnell and incompetents like Carly Fiorina and Dino Rossi or the Senate would be gone too.  Let's be real: President Obama is significantly if not mostly to blame for this "shellacking".  Although not alone that is, for there are incompetents in his cabinet who are letting not just him but the American people down.  After the 2006 midterms when the GOP was pummeled and lost both houses of Congress, at least President George W. Bush did one right thing and fired the incompetent Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who had been overseeing 2 failing wars (that are still failing but that's a whole other diary).  Yet 3 weeks after the bloodbath and President Obama has not made ONE substantive staffing move.  I believe a bold move MUST be done to show that the White House is listening to the will of the people.  So why don't we help him along?  Here's a few names I wouldn't shed any tears over:

How about Timothy Geithner?  This should be a no-brainer.  He should have been dropped for consideration for the job that includes head of the I.R.S. once it came out that he couldn't even manage to do his own damn taxes right.  2 years later and the sailing has been just as rough.  Why is the stock market flush with cash but unemployment still sky-high?  Why are there huge bonuses going out to execs of taxpayer-money hoarding corporations but very little hiring or lending going on? 

How about offshore oil-drilling shill Ken Salazar?  Rolling Stone makes the best case as to why Interior Secretary Salazar's hands are dirty when it comes to the BP oil spill (the whole article is a must-read):

Though he criticized the actions of "a few rotten apples" at the agency, he left long-serving lackeys of the oil industry in charge. "The people that are ethically challenged are the career managers, the people who come up through the ranks," says a marine biologist who left the agency over the way science was tampered with by top officials. "In order to get promoted at MMS, you better get invested in this pro-development oil culture." One of the Bush-era managers whom Salazar left in place was John Goll, the agency's director for Alaska. Shortly after, the Interior secretary announced a reorganization of MMS in the wake of the Gulf disaster, Goll called a staff meeting and served cake decorated with the words "Drill, baby, drill."

How about Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano?  The new TSA screening guidelines are a traveler's (and public relations) nightmare.  Why didn't her department adequately prepare the public for the new procedures?  She hasn't made the case and the result is that the TSA is a laughingstock and enraging more people every day.  This was hardly her first misstep either.

How about Eric Holder?  Was it really necessary to blast America as a "nation of cowards" when first assuming the job as Attorney General?  Beyond that controversial first-impression are his decisions to hold a civil trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City and the recent failure of his Justice department to convict Ahmed Ghailani on more than 1 count out of more than 280.  Whether or not you think civilian terrorist trials are a good idea there's little doubt that Holder's leadership in these matters hardly inspires confidence.

Then there's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, the genius who decided to blast the "professional left", you know the BASE that helped push Obama over the edge in the 2008 primaries, shortly before the mid-terms when it was clear that turnout would be key.  Heckuva job there.

So who should go?  I vote all of the above.

Return of the Wack!

Look who's back shilling books in November to fleece more rednecks out of their Christmas cash!  Even during a horrible recession there are hucksters out there making millions off the mindless masses, unbelievable isn't it?  God Bless America, indeed!

PPP Poll: Obama 46% Palin 46%

The info is here.

President Obama trails former Governors Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in this poll. Now I'm no Nate Silver, so I dunno the samples or demographics and how all that breaks down, but PPP is a pretty good outfit from what I have heard. I know it's early, and we have a loooooooong way to go till 2012, but just, WOW!

OK, Mitt Romney I can sort of understand being ahead of Obama right now thanks to his supposed "Mr. fix-it business credentials" (which really only consists of laying people off and outsourcing). Mike Huckabee I can understand being ahead because he is an amiable fellow with a populist-type agenda that is appealing to a good number of religious folk. Newt Gingrich I can understand because he was Speaker during an economically prosperous time and he takes every opportunity to point that out. Once the campaign begins though, they will tear out each other's throats over Romney's flip-flopping and "socialist" Massachusetts health care program, then Huckabee's "populism" and parolee issues, and finally Newt's congressional ethical issues and queasy personal past. So yeah they may all be ahead now but I wouldn't put too much stock in those numbers because the campaigns against them have not begun. But PALIN!?!?! Any attack against her only emboldens her cult-like fans, so I highly doubt any attacks from her primary opponents would affect her numbers.

Truth is, I understand her appeal to many right-wingers. She's good-looking, confident, ambitious, she hunts, she's a god-fearing woman, she's pro-life with a beautiful handi-capable boy to prove it, she talks like the righties and doesn't have a "fancy schmancy" Ivy League education just like they don't. I think she'd fit right in as a host with the airheads on "Fox & Friends" and would make for a fascinating reality show. But as a President?!?!?! Someone completely unqualified for the job? Someone who quit her term as Governor halfway through? Someone who went to 5 different colleges and won't say why or release her grades? Someone who saw an opening to shake down every hillbilly in America and grabbed it? Someone whose family fits in better at the "Jerry Springer Show" than the White House? Someone determined to continue the culture wars that have just about destroyed our political system? Someone who uses the same five words in every sentence: "commonsense", "Reagan", "God", "socialist" and "troops"? Someone who wants to run the country closer to the ideals of the Bible? Someone who won't be interviewed outside of the confines of Fox News? Someone who never held a press conference while running for Vice President? I could go on and on....

We already had one dunce who grabbed control of our country, a country that had a surplus and good relations with most of the world, and blew it all to hell, leaving us in a near-depression. And now 46% of this country wants to vote in his female equivalent? How can this be?

ready for another religious rant?

How do fucking idiots like Tim Tebow and Sarah Palin get people to pay them hundreds and thousands of dollars to hear them speak in this country? and hell, Canada too? In the midst of a horrible recession no less?! How can people be so duped into lining the pockets of these ignorant fools as long as they “stand up for what they believe for” and “speak for them”?

Then again people still attend and give money to the appallingly corrupt Catholic Church so I really shouldn’t be shocked at how these fairy-tale religions continue to sucker the sheeple!

sign already motherfucker!

The San Francisco 49ers are 3-1 and #10 draft pick WR Michael Crapgreed is in town, finally, and I hate to say it but the 49ers really need him. Why? Because our offense is terrible and he would be a HUGE weapon on the field, defenses will be distracted by him and our blossoming TE Vernon Davis will get free more often. So sign already, you greedy motherfucker! Think of the year's salary you are losing by re-entering the draft! Sign and show us what you got, and GO NINERS!

Roger Federer is a Real Fuckwad

real classy there, Rog, busting out and pimping your tacky Nike "15" tracksuit after beating Andy Roddick in a Wimbledon victory he basically handed to you. Gloat like a giant ass when you win and cry like a little bitch when you lose? Great sportsmanship there, guy!

Oh and Roger it’s a good thing you are making the best of Rafa Nadal’s time away due to injury, cuz you are gonna get your ass handed to you when he does! BTW, what other supposed “GOAT” had his ass kicked so thoroughly by their biggest rival? Michael Jordan? Wayne Gretzky? Joe Montana? Tiger Woods? Nope. No one dominated them the way Rafa does you. That’s why they are worthy of the “GOAT” title, and you aren't!

>>>>>>>R.I.P. Jacko<<<<<<<

For the record, I don't think he was a pedophile. I mean, those people usually have tons of kiddie porn in their house, on their computers, everywhere, but nothing that incriminating was ever found at Neverland. A celebrity like Michael Jackson, constantly around kids, would have had hundreds and hundreds of victims. He had a few accusers with money-grubbing parents, that's it, and was rightfully cleared of all charges in court. He was fucking stupid to keep letting little kids sleep in his bed after the allegations first surfaced in 1993, but I think Michael never matured beyond the age of 10, which is why he loved sleepovers, climbing trees, experimenting with "Jesus Juice", etc. He was abused as a child, then coddled as an adult, then numbed out by powerful drugs towards the end of his life. He never really had anything even close to normalcy, which is very sad.

What he did have, was amazing talent. As a singer, songwriter, dancer, all-around entertainer, I mean, the guy was unparalleled in his time. That is what I will remember the most about Michael, but man he sure gave us a bunch to chew on didn't he? I grew up enjoying his music and videos, then was shocked by the freak show aspect that came with his fame, was horrified by his physical deterioration, and finally, I was riveted by his legal travails. Like I said, he was an all-around entertainer! May he rest in the peace he so richly deserves.

Aztecs wuz robbed!

ARRRRGGGGHHHH! I am boycotting the NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament this year because my beloved alma mater San Diego State Aztecs (23-9) were completely fucked over by the big fat greedy major-conference fetishists on the tournament selection committee:

SDSU's RPI was the highest among those teams omitted from the field. It also finished one game out of first place during the regular season and reached the tournament championship game of a conference ranked No. 7 in the country.

I am so fucking furious! Only 4 out of the 34 at-large bids went to non-major conference schools, and 2 of those went to teams who came under the 20-win threshold! This is an outrage all-around, fuck the NCAA and it's bullshit tourney!

That said, I'll be posting my Final Four picks soon. Oh hell, not even this travesty can advert me from the excitement that is March Madness. But I'll be pissed off and drugged up the whole time.... which is pretty much how every day is for me now that I think about it. So let this posting be my form of protest! There, take that NCAA!

Why Bernie Madoff, not Rush Limbaugh, should be made the face of the G.O.P.

The simplest breakdown of America's 2 major political parties is this: The Republicans blame the poor for all our problems, while the Democrats blame the rich. When the poor are seen by the public-at-large as the culprits, the Repubs do well, like in 1994 when "welfare queens" got all the blame for our economic ills. Right now the Democrats are coming off of 2 straight electoral ass-whoopings and are enjoying a huge identification advantage over the G.O.P. Why? Well, George W. Bush for one. Also, there are now more poor people than rich people, and that super rich Ponzi-scheming bastard Bernie Madoff is Public Enemy #1.

Look, as long as that fat fuck Limbaugh is still breathing he'll be saying stupid shit, that's not news. So Operation Rushbo may be a success so far for President Obama, but as long as the face of this financial crisis is a super-rich crook like Madoff, the rich will be (rightly) blamed for this recession and the Democrats will be sitting pretty.

The Octo-Freak Show rolls on....

Nadya and her Ma got into it in front of the camera and as you can see from the vid Nadya comes off as a spoiled little beeeyotch, verbally bitch-slapping around the grandma who's gone bankrupt helping her raise her (now) 14 grandchildren:



and btw, if sending Nadya hateful emails is wrong then I sure as fuck don't wanna be right! Here's a copy of the "message of support" I sent to Octo-Mom at her website:

"Sew your vagina shut, bitch!"

Tasteful, no? haha hey if it's any consolation I held back a lil!
