Anderson Cooper Still Full Of Crap...
CNN is so pitiful.
I staggered over there after lapsing into a Coma watching Tom Brokenjaw preside over the official lobbing of the Softballs at Obama AND McCain on FOX News.
Anderson Cooper was speaking over video of the goings on in some sort of area in the arena in Nashville referred to as "the Spin Zone" and the arrogant asshole had the gumption to say that CNN would not be going there this evening.
I'm not sorry to disagree in saying that anyone with any molecule of a brain and some horse sense knows that virtually everything coming out of every single minute of a CNN broadcast is spin...carefully calculated to promote their socialistic liberal media agenda.
Nice try Comrade Cooper, but as we say down here in Alabama, Georgia, and now on the banks of the Mighty Tennessee River...
That Dog Won't Hunt...
You idiot lying partisan bastard...(did I mention that opinion already?)

Just In Time To Blog Tonight's Debate...

(That would be a Remington "Noiseless" Portable in beautiful working condition circa about 1938...so now I'm officially an E-Bay Addict...sue me...)
The Plot Thickens
Bwaney...Bwaney...You So Silly...
In my mind the debate is over with this morning as I read news containing stuff like this:
Frank waited until he was "47 years and 3 months old" to come out of the closet. By that time, he says, "I was pretty sure that if I came out I would not lose my job in Congress. I thought it would diminish my influence in Congress. It did not." His base in suburban Boston, in fact, is so safe that he hasn't had to make a campaign commercial for TV in 16 years.
He thinks the average American is "less homophobic than he thinks he's supposed to be and more racist than he's willing to admit."
I could actually care less about the homosexual out-of-the closet part of the story.
What bothers the hell out of me is the fact that Brawney Frank has now been proven to be a %$#@& partisan, lying, useless bastard, and the people of Massachusetts really need to get a grip on themselves and take a look in the mirror in order to see the creeping effects of the cancer which is eating up their brains and causing them to elect the likes of Frank, Kerry, and Kennedy to national office for the pastthousand years thirty plus years.
Must be something in the water up there...
Anyone have any idea how long I would last if I moved to Boston?
I'd be killed in the hotel bar for opening my Redneck Mouth before I could even attend the closing on my loan for my new used single wide trailer in "Back Bay."
This latest "anti-Brawney" rant is induced by the revelation that Representative Frank "dated" a man named Herb Moses from 1987 until 1998 when Moses left of all places--his seven year tenure at Fannie Mae.
Frank met Moses in 1987, the same year he became the first openly gay member of Congress.
"I am the only member of the congressional gay spouse caucus," Moses wrote in the Washington Post in 1991. "On Capitol Hill, Barney always introduces me as his lover."
The two lived together in a Washington home until they broke up in 1998, a few months after Moses ended his seven-year tenure at Fannie Mae, where he was the assistant director of product initiatives. According to National Mortgage News, Moses "helped develop many of Fannie Mae’s affordable housing and home improvement lending programs."
(snip)...
Both Frank and Moses assured the Wall Street Journal in 1992 that they took pains to avoid any conflicts of interest. Critics, however, remain skeptical.
"It’s absolutely a conflict," said Dan Gainor, vice president of the Business & Media Institute. "He was voting on Fannie Mae at a time when he was involved with a Fannie Mae executive. How is that not germane?
"If this had been his ex-wife and he was Republican, I would bet every penny I have - or at least what’s not in the stock market - that this would be considered germane," added Gainor, a T. Boone Pickens Fellow. "
But everybody wants to avoid it because he’s gay. It’s the quintessential double standard."
I have to go now and ice down my head before it explodes...

"YOUR" Money Is More Charitable Than "THEIR" Money
It always amazes me, while at the same time disappointing me (but somehow I guess not really surprising me) when someone takes a look at how our society's most vocal proponents of new government programs to ease the suffering of the zillions of homeless, hungry, or other wise downtrodden Americans actually spend their own money toward easing the suffering of humanity.
This morning I found this story from "The Hill" mentioning that Sara Palin's family gave more to charity in the past two years than Joe Biden gave in the past eight years combined.
Isn't that special?
What's up with liberals--even wealthy ones--that believe in coming to my front door and my office with a gun and police powers of arrest and forcing me to hand over thirty or forty percent of my money so they can put diapers and food in the mouths of minority and illegal alien's babies, while at the same time bringing home what's left of their giant paychecks and keeping all of their dough for themselves and their BMW's gaping gas tanks?
Of course when you think about it this story surfaces every few years with some regularity, but the media just downplays it as being in the category of the "ignorant christian rubes" versus the "highly educated elite," with the rubes fecklessly squandering their money because if the government doesn't decide how to do it then there obviously can be no positive effect.
http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2005/11/generosity_inde.htmlBased on the stupidity and waste that is consistently found in every single government program, imagine all of the things that are not being accomplished because the government steals the money and wastes and spends it under the name of "Charity" when it almost always ends up being welfare for the inept and wealthy?

Wrap Your Face In Saran Warp And Click Play
Did You See This Last Night?
Bwaney...Bwaney ...Bwaney...you so silly...
Bwaney...Bwaney ...Bwaney...you so silly...
"Can I Call You Joe?"
And She Smiled When She Said It...
I fell asleep after about the first twenty minutes of last evening's debate, but by then I had seen all I needed to see...because, after all...It was just a VICE-presidential candidate debate.
Now I'm watching the re-run of the event on FOX News as I write.
I sorta want to say up front here that I think that Governor Palin won the contest outright, but I also have to admit that Senator Biden's commentary was deeper in context and talking points while Sara tended to dance around a bit more with generalities and either didn't have the time or the wherewith all to directly embrace several Reganistic "there you go again" moments where I found myself yelling at the TV screen (she did manage to get one "there you go..." in late in the debate.)
Regarding the current "financial crises" portion of the debate I think that it's unfortunate that Palin and the Republicans have apparently fallen back to supporting the big government position of using regulation to prevent grown men and women from going out and borrowing more money than they can legitimately afford to pay back from "predatory lenders" after allowing the government to get into the business of forcing lenders to make loans to the very people that are in trouble today.
I say that it's not about more government "intervention" in lending practices being a solution, because after everything is said in done in reality its "intervention" in lending practices which got us to were we are today.
(This whole situation reminds me of an old Groucho Marx bit where the patient in a doctor's office says "Doctor, doctor...it hurts when I do this..." and in response the doctor says: "Well...don't do that...")
I have a unique idea.
How about getting the government out of the mortgage business entirely?
Let the market decide loan rates and property values, and most of all how about letting me and my banker decide the pro's and con's of me getting a loan for any given use or on any given property and actually being able to pay it back?
Anyone in business or banking knows that handing out money on a car or house and then having to take it back doesn't result in a profit or financial windfall for the people loaning the money (although unfortunately the people paid for originating the loan and filing the initial paperwork do sometimes manage to get rich in the process.)
My point is that any house sold out of foreclosure or repossessed car sold at auction almost never brings anything even close to the balance owed on the original loan, so the idea of "predatory lenders" running around out in the world trying to "price gouge" on loan rates and fees by forcing innocent white and minority "working families" to move out of their safe secure public housing, apartments or even the trailer park westward into their own mansions in Beverly Hills or south to hurricane prone West Palm Beach--then taking the houses back when the "owner" defaults and selling them again at an obscene profit is mindless partisan economic drivel.
Back to the debate...
Having by now both slept through once and blogged through once the second half of the debate, I think that most viewers like me probably found their eyes glazing over with Sara chattering away about being a soccer mom and Biden blithering liberal Democratic platitudes about "Change" and issuing "evil Cheney" jabs and moderator Ifill doing a fairly good job in spite of the fact that she never should have taken the night's position in the first place.
When it's all said and done, I'll be making the exact same decision in November after the debate that I would have made at Noon Thursday.
I really wish that there was a legitimate third option to McCain or Obamarama, a choice that would turn time back toward what our country and government was before WWI and/or the great depression--a time when I could fly an airplane or drive a boat in free air and on free waters that the government didn't claim to own and control, and be able cut down trees and build fences on property I owned without the government coming in and making me buy a "building permit" and telling me I have to have a fan over my stove and I have to put my chicken house out of sight behind my house (or I can't have chickens at all on MY property.)
A government which understanded that its job was to prevent thieves from taking my money and property and which diligently pursued anyone that assaulted me and my property, rather than bringing laws and guns to my doorstep to demand a portion of my money and property and time as "their fair share" of my life to be "invested" at their inane pandering discretion into programs I despise and people conducting their lives in a manner with which I greatly disagree.
"Fundamental Change," say Senator Biden in closing the debate?
My answer?
Get the %$#@ out of my life and my wallet and let me have a little of your party's sacred "personal choice" for a change.
(BTW...I promise none of my "personal choices" will involve spending my time and money killing unborn fetuses or taking jobs away from "working families.")

Ahead Of The Curve
Gwen Ifill Responds
On an ad-lib basis I ran my mouth and pounded my keyboard yesterday morning based on a Drudge Report article about the financial interests and political affiliations of Gwen Ifill, moderator of tonight's Vice-Presidential candidate debate. It appears I ended up with some serious company with Michelle Malkin and others wading in on the subject.
(Scroll down here to yesterday's postings if you missed my missive.)
Any way, this morning Drudge has a link to this article saying Miss Ifill takes some offense to her portrayal here on the bloggosphere. She has apparently even tried to allude to a "race" card...Imagine that?
I'm busy working on some other stuff for work right now, so I have to limit my response at this time:
Waaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa
(here's a dollar Gwen...buy some Klenex on me)
UPDATE 5:55 AM
Oh No...It seems that now not only am I a racist, but I'm also lambasting a handicapped woman as Ifill breaks her ankle on stairs at her house.
First On TVNewser: PBS' Gwen Ifill has broken her ankle after tripping and falling down stairs at her home last night, a NewsHour insider tells TVNewser. We're told Ifill had been walking up a staircase, carrying research related to her moderating duties at Thursday's Vice Presidential debate in St. Louis, when she took a wrong step.
We are also told the show will go on: Ifill is planning to travel to Missouri for the big event.
(I might be an insensitive bastard...but at least I'm an HONEST one and seek to excel at it most of the time.)
UPDATE 6:05 am (I CAN'T LEAVE THIS ALONE IT'S SO MUCH FUN)
Watch this clip of Ifill commenting on Sarah Palin's speach at the Republican convention and tell me she's objective...

Been listening to the lamestream media play Bwarny Franke lisping his way through his baseless denials (not the river in Egypt) about his and his fellow Democrats involvement in the current financial/mortgage"non-crisis?"
Been watching the TV showing Obamarama looking all presidential as he tries to mitigate the circumstances?
Then Google Senate bill S-109, or just click on this link and save yourself the trouble:

"Debating" Media Bias
Sinking Further Into My Middle Aged Sarcastic Funk...
I have to admit that I don't put much stock in making my election decisions based on watching the media circuses called "Debates" on TV any more than I "hang my chads" based on the limited content and truth contained in most campaign ads.
Funny thing, but since first voting for Reagan in the 1980 presidential contest I've grown up and stopped deciding who to vote for based on what I am told.
Rather (but not DAN Rather), since 1992 I've voted based on what I read and see and hear in an active process of finding out what is really going on with a candidate and where they're coming from in their past history--and by reading and seeing and hearing I'm most definitely not talking about the Newspaper Headlines and the lamestream national TV news.
What's on my mind this morning is a Drudge Report linked article about the moderator of this Thursday's Vice Presidential debate having a book coming out for publication next January that is called "Pro-Obama."
This after having to listen to PBS's Jim Lehrer bumble through trying to get Obamarama and McCain to talk to each other in last week's debate like they were having a beer in the local tavern together, I just realized that now we're going to be subjected to the obvious liberal political leanings of yet another PBS employee moderating the Biden Palin match up on Thursday.
And not only is Miss Gwen Ifill publishing a book glorifying "modern successful minorities" including Obama, but she also works as a correspondent on Jim Lehrer's Online Newshour on PBS.
What I want to know is, who the heck appointed PBS TV the "official moderator" of these debates? After all, they're not being held in their studios and they're not paying for them.
(You know how I feel about "public television", and how with the commercial success of privately owned media the government should have gotten out of the "public radio" and "public TV" business in about 1975 when 99% of American households had cable TV available and there were privately owned TV transmitters on 100 mile centers.)
Next I went to this website and my head nearly obtained orbital rotational velocity when I learned that Tom Brokaw of NBC's "Meet the Press" fame has the moderator honors for the next Presidential debate in Nashville on October 7 and the creepy old Dan Rather pal over at CBS...Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer has the last debate October 15th Hofstra University debate.
Anyone but me notice anything funny about the selection of these so called "moderators?"
Could it be that their all "flaming far left leaning liberals?
And might it not be slightly more than an itsy bitsy teensy weensy problem that all four of theseassheads media professionals have expressed their politics views and made them a matter of public record?
PBS couldn't last 90 days if they had to give up government tax dollars and live on advertising or subscriber revenue, and if you add up the total viewers of NBC, CBS, and PBS they wouldn't total HALF of the numbers that FOX News generates each evening.
Bill O'Reilly beats all three combined, but even with FOUR election debates, not a single person associated with FOX news was included in a moderator position.
(cue the sound of the crickets chirping...)
I'm telling you people, you're crazy if you don't see the manipulation you're being subjected to, and you're a complete and total idiot if it doesn't make you extremely angry.
Further, if you are under the age of about 35 you just better get yourself prepared to retire and die in a strange new world dominated by socialism induced shortages of things like water and food and electricity if you vote the way these partisan shills want you to vote, because the productive people are either all going to have already died else have given up producing because it just doesn't pay.
(ever read a book called Atlas Shrugged?)
