Michelle Obama and Scott Baio
Apparently Scott Baio tweeted a picture of Michelle Obama with the caption "WOW He wakes up to this every morning." Here's the picture:

Yikes. No further comment necessary.

Hollywood Supporting a Pedophile?
It looks like hundreds of "big names" in Hollywood have signed a petition in support of Roman Polanski, who pled guilty to drugging and sodomizing a 13-year old girl in 1977. He was 44-years old at that time.
Some of the people who've signed it:
- Martin Scorsese
- Woody Allen (no surprise there)
- Monica Bellucci
- Pedro Almodovar
- Tilda Swinton
- David Lynch
- Terry Gilliam
- Fanny Ardant
- John Landis
- Mike Nichols
- Salman Rushdie
- Steven Soderbergh
- Diane von Furstenberg
- and what appears to be the majority of the entertainment industry in France.
View the entire list here:
http://www.sacd.fr/Tous-les-signataires-de-la-petition-All-signing-parties.1341.0.html
In case 32 years have made the facts fade in their memory, maybe they should read these excerpted transcripts from the grand jury testimony:

TheSmokingGun.com has posted more of the transcript here:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/polanskicover1.html
It's amazing how they're acting as if he's just a poor misunderstood victim who deserves their support. He pled guilty. He expected to get probation, but when he learned the judge was likely to "throw the book at him", he fled from justice.
For over 30 years, he's avoided prison. Most people wouldn't be able to do that. His wealth and lack of morals protected him from the fate he earned. The people who've signed this petition should be ashamed.

ACORN
Just listened to Glenn Beck in the car. He was going through yet another hidden camera exposé on ACORN. Why is NO ONE ELSE reporting on this?

If, as David Letterman insists, this is

Then what, pray tell, is this?

Chastity Bono -- Becoming a Man
Chastity Bono -- Becoming a Man
Yeah, yeah... Empathy, tolerance, yada yada yada...
I just can't wrap my head around this sort of thing.
If I was with a "woman" who told me that she had been born a man, I'd be very upset about what I consider false advertising.
One of the articles on TMZ mentions that Chastity Bono has been in a committed relationship for several years. This relationship is with a LESBIAN woman. So when she changes to LOOK MORE LIKE A MAN (because she's still got female chromosomes) will her partner suddenly be "going straight?"
Or will she be like that "pregnant man" who has a beard and KEPT THE VAGINA AND OVARIES???

Burkah wearing teacher at a Christian school?!?!?!
This may seem a little "out there" now, but in this PC world nothing surprises me. She'll probably not only keep her job, but receive some sort of financial settlement.

"Outrage" over "Police Brutality"
Some idiots decided to run from police and engage in a high-speed car chase. After one of the guys got out and ran, then laid down because he realized it was hopeless, the police kicked him. I say BIG DEAL. Wanna know why? First, take a look at this scumbag:
Yes - the name of his gang is TATTOOED ON HIS UPPER LIP. One of his buddies in the car has the gang's initials TATTOOED ON HIS CHIN - in thick block letters.
Why we let these sons-of-bitches drain our police resources is beyond me.
Of course, what makes this worse is that he'll probably sue and receive millions of taxpayer dollars.
More pictures and the full story here:

Jeanene Garofalo is out of her mind
Recently there were protests across the country that were billed as "Tea Parties", to conjure up images of the original "Boston Tea Party". The idea apparently was to protest taxes and spending by the government. Whatever.
Most media outlets were at best skeptical of the protests, and many refused to refer to them as legitimate protests, choosing rather to refer to them as "teabagging parties" and calling the participants "teabaggers." (Yes - on national news) Many of the anchors on these news channels dove right in with double entendre, saying things like "licking their lips for teabagging" and "it's hard to talk (coherently) when you're teabagging." Seriously. I'm not making this up.
Well, once the demonstrations were over, I thought the story was over too. Not for Jeanene Garofalo, who not only dismisses the protests completely, but labels them as RACIST. I've always known that Jeanene Garofalo "leaned left", and ignored that fact due to her comedic talent. She refers to the protesters as "teabagging rednecks." Again - seriously, I'm not making this up.
Watch the clip below (replayed on Fox News' "Red Eye")

American Idol... WTF?!?
I've been watching American Idol lately, and while I think all of the current contestants are very talented, there's one that just irritates me - Adam Lambert. Every week, he gets more and more effeminate. I don't care what his orientation is, nor do I care if he wears "guyliner". I just wonder about the state of our society if this guy ends up winning. He's very talented, but I can't stand to watch him writhe around as he sings in an increasingly feminine falsetto.
Apparently TMZ has noticed too, as they put together a comparison of Adam Lambert and former American Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell...

Octomom IDIOT
TMZ has published a photo of the OCTOMOM IDIOT'S Minivan with a "Denver boot" on it.
As far as I'm concerned, the boot isn't the interesting part.
It's the fact that she left her children UNATTENDED in a CAR.
http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/13/octuplet-mom-odyssey-interrupted/
WARNING - They also have a picture of her showing off her HUGE belly. Be warned.

Octuplets Mom Has 6 Other Kids
Apparently the CA woman who recently gave birth to OCTUPLETS already has 6 kids.
She also lives with her parents in a small house.
The "father" of the children, at least the most recent 8, is apparently not in the country.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/29/earlyshow/health/main4761676.shtml
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7860041.stm
Of course, shetook fertility drugs had 8 embryos implanted - which often leads to twins/triplets/etc.
I've heard reports in the media that her parents had to file for bankruptcy recently.
The babies were born several weeks premature, and are all around 2-3 pounds each.
Who do you think will pay for the extended stay and special care these children will receive in the hospital. Hmmm... I wonder...
Update:
She's apparently been obsessed with having children for a long time, so much that her mother believes she's got a psychological disorder of some sort:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090131/ap_on_re_us/octuplets_10
Why is it that virtually nowhere in the media is anyone reporting what an irresponsible parasite this woman is?
I just heard a report on NBC that said:
- Implanting eight embryos is NOT a normal medical practice. Typically no more than one or two are implanted. How this woman got a doctor to implant EIGHT is beyond me.
- "Complicated Births" can cost as much as $400,000 per child. That puts this idiot's bill at well over 3 MILLION DOLLARS. WHO DO YOU THINK IS PAYING FOR IT?

Idiot Sighting
I went to the grocery store tonight, and saw a woman walking through the grocery store. She was probably in her early 20's. She was talking loudly on her cell phone, and of course oblivious to anyone around her. Of course this happens every day. It's always annoying, but in this case it really irritated me. Why?
1. The conversation was clearly of little importance or substance.
2. A stream of f-bombs was emitted from this idiot's mouth.
3. She was pushing a baby stroller.
I was tempted to say something, but let my better angels win this time.
I curse sometimes; perhaps too much. It's never in public, and never around children.
Morons like this may be common, but the triple-threat combo performed by this idiot makes her extra special.

The Act Of Being Politically Correct Has Gone From The Sublime To The Ridiculous
By: David G. Hallstrom, Sr.
There was a time that being politically correct meant speaking and acting in a considerate manner to others. Now it means speaking and acting in a manner acceptable to the Hollywood and politically left wing Elite who have appointed themselves as the arbitrators of what is proper and what is not proper.
For instance Christmas is a legal holiday and was made a legal holiday in order to celebrate the birth of Christ. It is now, however, politically incorrect to say Merry Christmas because you might insult non Christians and atheists. We are told that the correct greeting is now Happy Holidays. Department and other stores that make most of their money selling Christmas gifts now advertise Holiday gifts, wish us Happy Hoildays and play Holiday music that does not mention Christmas, Christ or God. God forbid they should insult anyone and lose a sale. It doesn't matter that they are insulting Christians, because Christians, by nature of their beliefs, are forgiving. Teachers are teaching young students to say Happy Holidays because many teachers now believe that it is politically incorrect to bring religion into school and that it is okay to deny God but it is not okay to irritate atheists.
A janitor is now a custodial engineer and a garbage hauler is now a sanitation engineer even though neither has an engineering degree. An American Indian is now called a Native American. A person who is deaf is now hearing impaired. A blind person is now visually impaired. A handicapped person is now physically impaired. A fat person is now called weight challenged or weight impaired (I am fat but I am not challenged nor impaired and I resent the use of those words. I don't mind being called fat, after all, it's the truth, but I do mind being told that I am less than others because I'm fat.). A pet is now called an animal friend. A person who is slow to learn is now mentally challenged. Orientals are now Asians. Anno Domini (AD) is now Common Era (CE). A prison is now a House Of Corrections. An illegal alien is now an undocumented immigrant or an undocumented worker. Terrorists are now called insurgents even though the definition of an insurgent is a rebel and a rebel does not usually kill innocent people. Punks and deliquents are now called environmentally challenged youths. People are no longer laid off, they are now downsized. Merry Christmas is now Happy Holidays. Happy Thanksgiving is now Happy Turkey Day. Even Valentines day is now being called Friends Day.
Don't say "under God" when saying the Pledge of Allegiance, because you might make an atheist uncomfortable and then the atheist might sue.
It's funny when Whoopi Goldberg, Barbra Streisand, Jay Leno, David Letterman and others insult President Bush and call him stupid, but it's not funny if you make fun of Whoopi Goldberg. The fact that President Bush is the elected leader of this country and that when they insult him they are insulting the Office Of The President and thereby insulting this country, doesn't seem to matter. The fact that their insults are read and heard by people in other countries who use the insults as fodder to justify their dislike of us, doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that they don't like President Bush and they hope that if they insult him enough, people will start believing that the insults are true facts and not just jokes.
Drug addicts are victims not criminals, even though they broke the law by using illegal drugs and even though they are aiding drug pushers by giving them money, because many of the Elite also use illegal drugs and they don't consider themselves to be criminals.
Don't call God a him, because certain women will be angered. The fact that no one has ever actually seen God and the fact that no one really knows if God is a he, she or it, doesn't matter. The fact that Christ is alledged to have said that God was his Father, doesn't matter. All that matters is that certain celebrities and activists don't like to hear God called a he and since they don't like it they feel insulted.
It's not only okay, it's comical, to lump all Priests together and label them pedophiles like Jay Leno does, but don't you dare say a teacher might be incompetent. If you do, a teacher's union will jump down your throat. It doesn't matter that the vast majority of Priests are kind, caring and honorable men or that a large percentage of teachers can't teach their way out of a paper bag. All that matters is that Priests won't fight back so it's okay to lump the good ones with the bad ones and make fun of them.
We are no longer Americans, we are now African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, Italian-Americans and a whole bunch of other -Americans. How can we hope to remain 'one country, under god or not under god, indivisible' if we are already dividing ourselves by ethnicity and prior nationality. I am solely an American. My ethnicity or the nationality of my ancestors does not effect my being an American. I can be proud of my ancestry without hyphenating my Americanism. My wife was born and raised in Mexico. She says that she is an American of Mexican decent. She is proud of her Mexican heritage but since she is now an American citizen she answers to American or American of Mexican decent not Mexican-American. And what is with this African-American bit. According to most biblical scholars and most scientists, the human race started out in Africa. If that's true, then all of us are decended from people who lived in Africa and all of us could be called African-American. Additionaly, what do you call a person, of African decent, who lives permanently in this country but is a French citizen and not a citizen of this country. You can't call him an African-American as he is not an American. Do you call him an African-Frenchman or do you call him an African-Frenchmen who resides in America? You can't call him a Black because no one is actually black. What if he is dark brown or light brown, do you call him a Brown. I am called white but in actuality no one is white and some so called whites are darker than some so called blacks. Why do we need to use color or ethnicity in order to tag people. I can see using complection, ie: pale, dark brown, olive, etc. as a person's description, but I can't see using it as part of their identity.
Political correctness is fine to a point, but like anything else, take it too far and it becomes ridiculous. We have taken it too far and it is now ridiculous. Stop listening to the Hollywood elite and start thinking for yourself. Don't be stupid. Oh; I apologize, should I have said don't be mentally impaired? Be kind, be polite and have empathy for others. Don't, however, let others tell you what to think and say.

Vegans
I just went to a graduation dinner for my cousin Seamus. It was at a VEGAN restaurant called "Real Food Daily". Apparently this is because his girlfriend, Lauren, is vegan. No one else in attendance is vegan. Only Lauren.
I ordered a diet coke. No dice. I ended up drinking some raspberry ginger ale, which was nice enough, but not what I wanted to drink.
I ordered pasta. It was described in the menu as having "parmesan sprinkle". I asked the waitress if it was parmesan... Nope. It was a walnut something-or-other.
By the way, instead of making a simple tomato sauce, they put some ridiculous fake meat sauce crap on it...
My other cousin, Darcie, ordered a "Grilled Cheese Sandwich" for her 5 1/2 year old daughter. She took one bite and declared it "yucky." Darcie took a bite and agreed. Lauren took a bite and said "Yeah... it's different." Ya think?
When the waitress was reciting the dessert offerings, she mentioned at least three items that were chocolate-whatever... Of course, I had to ask if it was in fact chocolate. The waitress replied that it was "mocha", and then further described it as cocoa powder. So technically NOT CHOCOLATE.
The classic end to the evening was when I ordered a double espresso. When it arrived, I asked the waitress for sugar. You guessed it - NO SUGAR!!! (What's wrong with "Sugar In The Raw?) She brought out a shaker of "Maple Crystals", which were so clumped up I had to open it up and break off chunks...
BOO!!!!
The whole thing is a fraud. The common justification for a "vegan" lifestyle is to prevent cruelty to animals. Of course, this is Los Angeles... Many of the other diners had leather products (purses, shoes, etc.) and got into cars (and some BIG SUV's) with LEATHER seats.
Moby (the musician) was there. I've known he was vegan, but I've never bought his albums... I digress.
Anyway, the fact that she (Lauren) would make all of these people (10 not including her) go to a VEGAN restaurant seems at least a little bit self-absorbed. It was pretty clear no one (other than her) enjoyed it, except maybe for the (non) chocolate cake...
Seamus seemed to suggest to his dad that they'd have similar food at the wedding. If that's the case, I may either boycott the reception or have pizzas delivered... I'm serious.
I ordered a diet coke. No dice. I ended up drinking some raspberry ginger ale, which was nice enough, but not what I wanted to drink.
I ordered pasta. It was described in the menu as having "parmesan sprinkle". I asked the waitress if it was parmesan... Nope. It was a walnut something-or-other.
By the way, instead of making a simple tomato sauce, they put some ridiculous fake meat sauce crap on it...
My other cousin, Darcie, ordered a "Grilled Cheese Sandwich" for her 5 1/2 year old daughter. She took one bite and declared it "yucky." Darcie took a bite and agreed. Lauren took a bite and said "Yeah... it's different." Ya think?
When the waitress was reciting the dessert offerings, she mentioned at least three items that were chocolate-whatever... Of course, I had to ask if it was in fact chocolate. The waitress replied that it was "mocha", and then further described it as cocoa powder. So technically NOT CHOCOLATE.
The classic end to the evening was when I ordered a double espresso. When it arrived, I asked the waitress for sugar. You guessed it - NO SUGAR!!! (What's wrong with "Sugar In The Raw?) She brought out a shaker of "Maple Crystals", which were so clumped up I had to open it up and break off chunks...
BOO!!!!
