You Just Can’t Fix Stupid!

Good morning, boys and girls.  Let’s play a game.  I’m going to submit a list of 14 “shithole” cities followed by a date.  Let’s see if you can guess the significance of said dates, keeping in mind that these cities represent the worst this country has to offer.  These are all cities rife with police corruption and political malfeasance, out of control drug use, vagrancy, and sky high crime rates; many have fallen into bankruptcy.  Sanctuary cities all.  Let’s have a go!!

  1.  Detroit  1962
  2.  Los Angeles  1961
  3.  San Francisco  1964
  4.  Chicago  1931
  5.  Philadelphia  1952
  6.  Baltimore  1967
  7.  Newark  1953
  8.  Houston  1982
  9.  Seattle  1969
  10.  New Orleans  1872
  11.  St. Louis  1949
  12.  Oakland  1977
  13.  Washington D.C.  1961
  14.  New York City  2001

Give up yet?  These dates represent the last time the respective cities had anything other than Democratic mayors.  Of the 14, eight have never seen a Republican mayor in my lifetime, and I’m 55 years old.

New York City looks like the outlier here, with Republican Rudy Giuliani having helmed the dump in 2001, but fear not:  Giuliani was an aberration.  You have to go back to 1971 to find a Republican prior to Rudy, and indeed, Gotham City has only produced four Republican mayors in the last 103 years.

Bonus points to Los Angeles, which has reported several cases of bubonic plague (yes, that bubonic plague), and many cases of typhus, due to rampant rat infestation, unchecked immigration, garbage everywhere, and “homeless” who like to shit in the streets.  Eric Garcetti, Nancy Pelosi, and Gavin Newsom have a solution:  bring in more unvetted illegals from Mexico, the country that features 12 of the 50 cities with the highest homicide rates in the world.  Central and South American cities as a whole account for 41 of the aforementioned 50 cities with highest homicide rates, but FaceTuck Nancy and soy boys Eric and Gavin will tell you that the caravans making their way north are full of Rhodes Scholars and budding young engineers just waiting for a shot at the American Dream.

All the Democrats need, they say, is to be rid of those pesky, racist Republicans, and, of course, more of your taxpayer dollars!!  LOL!!  You just can’t fix stupid!

Obama is Too Big To Fail

 

 

March 19, 2009

 

Is the honeymoon over yet? Can we all finally admit that a mere two months into his term, Barack’s administration is every bit as conniving, irresponsible, deceitful, shameless, arrogant, greedy, devious, carnivorous, treacherous, and calculating as George Bush’s ever was?

 

The entire country is crumbling from within, and Obama’s team members are busy covering their tails about the ever-growing AIG scandal as they’ve all been exposed as liars, even as they continue to dole out our money to select pork projects and friends on Wall Street. If the phrase hadn’t been outlawed, we could have them labeled as “enemy combatants”?

 

So much for change.

 

We are on the verge of real revolution here, folks. People are furious, and sweeping reforms need to be made, and where is the Messiah through all this chaos? He’s filling out his NCAA hoops bracket on ESPN and cracking wise with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. This man is a serious egomaniac and all you Obama voters were had. His ascendancy to the presidency was built on an everyman’s appeal that soon morphed into hero worship, and was sped along by a fawning media that refused to ask the tough questions and failed to understand that a lawyer raised in Chicago politics could in no possible way be honest.

 

But what is alarming is how much this guy loves himself. Watching him on Leno was terrifying. I firmly believe his only desire for the presidency was rooted in self-gratification and his need for attention and adulation. He has no interest in the people beyond how much they’ll genuflect at his feet. Not that this is unusual for politicians, but it’s telling that whenever someone asks him what it’s like to be president, he immediately mentions the perks. On Leno, he talked about how cool it was to wear his jacket with the presidential logo on Air Force One. Virtually every time I see him speak, he mentions the Secret Service, so we all know how important he is. We are, after all, talking about a man so impressed with himself that he wrote two autobiographies by the age of forty-five when no one had heard of him save the handful of politically aware Americans that watched his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic convention.

 

This guy would be an empty suit if it weren’t for his puffed chest, but everyone is still enthralled. The media is his biggest enabler. Last night on the Hannity show, Phil Donahue gushed that, “His smile could save us all.” Even Obama’s wife is getting in on the act. Two weeks ago CNN’s Jack Cafferty wrote on the CNN website, “I think I am developing a crush on America’s First Lady. Michelle Obama is more compelling than her husband. He’s good, but she’s utterly fascinating.” And, of course, we all remember Chris Matthews’ man-crush on the Messiah when upon hearing an Obama speech he spurted, “I felt this thrill going up my leg.”

 

Well it’s time for the pretty boy to roll up his sleeves and get to work instead of gallivanting across the countryside having his ass kissed. Taxpayer money is flying out of the vault while Congress berates Wall Street executives for legislation that Congress passed, and Barack is turning a blind eye to all the corruption among his crew. Remember when bills were going to be put online for five days before being voted on, so the American people could have a look at them? That promise, like all the others, went the way of the horse and buggy once the Messiah secured his fiefdom.

 

This man is dangerous, but the American media won’t take him to task. They have too much invested. And Obama is too big to fail.

Blogging for Blago

 

January 28, 2009

 

To borrow a phrase still floating amidst the detritus of the interminable and bloated presidential campaign….I have officially flip-flopped! I am now firmly and proudly in Rod Blagojevich’s corner! I just got finished watching his interview with Fox News’ Glenn Beck, and I’m impressed.

 

Now don’t misunderstand me, Blago is as dirty and as crooked as the day is long, but he has done something that most other Democrats, including the recently-elected sainted one, wouldn’t dare do: He went into enemy territory and answered every question Beck posed, forthrightly and with humor. I may not have liked all his answers, but at least he faced the fire.

 

This show of heresy alone, his acts of malfeasance aside, will probably get Blagojevich drummed from the political system…the good ol’ boy network certainly can’t sit back and do nothing when one of theirs deigns to fields tough questions. It reflects poorly on the 535 dissemblers in the Capitol, the thieves and liars in the White House, and the corrupt governors across the nation.

 

The Messiah, to his credit, did do an interview with Bill O’Reilly, but beyond that, he spent his seemingly decade-long campaign (remember when he wasn’t going to run for president until he completed his term in the Senate?) going into comfortable environments, reading scripts, and fielding softball questions from hard-hitters like Oprah Winfrey, David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Ellen DeGeneres, Keith Olbermann, and Chris Matthews.

 

John McCain, of whom I’m no fan by any stretch, at least had the sack to go places where he knew the cards were stacked against him. He made appearances on the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, David Letterman, Chris Matthews, and The View. Sarah Palin was ritually abused by the press, especially during her sandbag interview with Katie Couric. Imagine being made to look stupid by Katie Couric…the mind reels. But at least Palin bucked up and showed up.

 

That brings me back to Blagojevich. Like him or hate him, he answered Beck’s questions. Though he refused to appear at his own impeachment proceedings in the Illinois senate, I’m confident, after seeing his arrogance up close on Beck’s show, that he skipped the impeachment hearing out of hubris, not fear.

 

As this country is far beyond ever hoping for an honest politician, at least give me one with balls who will spit in the face of his sanctimonious brethren. Dare I say it…Blago for Prez in 2012!!
