Let’s Vote on Whether to Throw a Public Hissy-Fit

The Democrats, in power but still as impotent as ever, are working on non-binding resolutions to oppose President Bush’s new strategy in Iraq. Since they’re non-binding, they don’t actually do anything, but a number of conservatives argue that these resolutions will hurt troop morale by sending the message that the mission is in vain.
It’s a stupid argument, though.
Am I supposed to believe that our troops in Iraq, who are in the middle of very serious work, are going to take even a moments notice of what the jackasses in Congress are up to? I don’t buy it.
So, I’m all for non-binding resolutions. In fact, if Congress did nothing but pass non-binding resolutions, the world would be a better place.

College Party Mocks White People?

Another college frat party has drawn the condemnation of civil rights groups. Said a spokesman for PWGUAE – People Who Get Upset About Everything. “Just as we complained against white people mocking Martin Luther King day by partying with Aunt Jemima, eating fried chicken, and wearing gangster clothing – so too is it wrong for African Americans to mock those who are white.”
This latest outcry comes froma college party where African Americans gathered to celebrate and obviously mock white people.
Said one witness, “It was awful. They gathered round and sipped wine and champagne. There was an area where African American women gathered, and many of them weren’t even single mothers.”
Said another alarmed witness to the party, “It was horrible and insensitive. There was good grammar and diction everywhere. Many of them even held jobs!”
However, the fraternity had a defense. Said a spokesperson whose organization hosted the party. “Get over yourselves people. This wasn’t a gathering to mock white people. This was a meeting of the Black Republicans.”
The matter is still under investigation by the local college.

Frank Advice: Hillary Campaign Slogans

With the Hillary Clinton advertising on IMAO, I think it would be nice to offer her some help. Here are my ideas for her presidential campaign slogans:
Hillary ’08: Your soul is mine!
Hillary ’08: No power in the ‘verse can stop me!
Hillary ’08: Naked ambition given human form.
Hillary ’08: It’s time for a woman president whether you want it or not.
Hillary ’08: Don’t vote for that black guy!
Hillary ’08: America has existed long enough.
Hillary ’08: Comedy gold!
Hillary ’08: Satan compels you.
Hillary ’08: The survivors will envy the dead.
Hillary ’08: You’ll get a 10,000% return on your investment.
Hillary ’08: If I scare you this much, think of what’s it will be like for America’s enemies.
Hillary ’08: With me as president, the Mexicans will stop trying to get in here.
Hillary ’08: Because God hates you.

Help Hillary Blog

“We’re looking for your ideas on how we can work together for change.”

They want submissions for a ‘first blog post’ on her official blog.
My entry is as follows:

A great way to work for change is with a tin cup or a cardboard sign that says “Will work for food”. Though not technically work, this sort of activity does often result in the exchange of change. This is especially true in high traffic areas.
Another way is to look under vending machines in company break rooms. I’ve had some success at finding change while doing this. It is more work than just standing there with a cup or sign. Its more honorable than taking a handout too.
These are my ideas for working for change.
Also, you might (ghost) write another book. That could net you a couple of nickels also. And the ghost can do the work.That’s sort of working together.
Glad to help.

Hope I didn’t help too much.

American Idol Six — New York auditions

Carole Bayer Sager is sitting in as guest judge. Let’s be hopeful that she’ll say more than Jewel did in her stint.
Our first giant loser is Ian Benardo. He has chinchilla fur, two therapists, and his name on his shirt. He deserves every bit of ridicule he gets, except that is what he wants. He just asked Simon for his visa and accused him of being an illegal. And now he’s being ousted by security and there he goes saying Simon is the dangerous illegal one. And even Ryan looks annoyed and pushes Ian down the hall, and they could have cut about ten minutes out of his tirade, and I think I would have gotten the point. It’s like in those church hymns where the 2nd or 3rd verse has a star next to it, and the star means that you can drop that verse without changing the meaning of the hymn. What a turd.
Sarah Burgess lied to her parents to audition. Her dad doesn’t want her to audition or be a singer. If she goes, he won’t help her with school or college. I’m sure he won’t see it on TV or hear about it at all. Nobody watches this show. She’s very pretty. And there goes the crying. Can someone tell me why everyone is singing “Call Me” this year? Did it have a comeback this year or get packaged on the B side of “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” and I just am not cool and didn’t get the text? “hey sk! dl call me by blondie on2 ur ipod stat! it’s the bomb! over.” Are they even saying “It’s the bomb” these days? I doubt it — I’m showing my geekiness. I don’t care, y’all can all shut up. Anyway, I like her. Like Simon says, she doesn’t have the best voice, but I think she can improve, and I think she’ll try. And she is bawling like a baby, and I love contestants like her, because she’s weepy and genuinely feeling it. And terrified of telling her daddy. Wow, he must be a big meanie. No look, he’s supportive. Or knows he’s on TV. Notice that TV cut, where Ryan must have said, “Bob, don’t say anything you don’t want broadcast on national television.” Bob’s first reaction sounded happily surprised, and he just wants her home safely, blah blah blah. So she’s so happy. Nice story. I hope she works hard in Hollywood. BTW, I kinda cried like a baby at her story too. But I cry at GEICO commercials, so that’s not saying much. That poor, misunderstood caveman.

Sympathy for the Democrat

You kinda have to feel for Nancy Pelosi last night. Most people attending can nod off and just follow the lead of the other Congressmen around him about clapping and standing, but Pelosi was right there in front of the camera and had to listen to every statement of the speech and think, “Was that a generic pro-America statement I can clap for, or would clapping now be interpreted as support of the President’s policy?” And, she knew if she misstepped and looked like she was supporting Bush, the nutroots would start screaming, “Pelosssi sssuportsss Booosssh! We will eatsss her ssskin!”
You don’t want that.

“Get Them a Body Bag! Yeah!”

I didn’t watch the State of the Union last night. The White House made the mistake of e-mailing me the outline ahead of time. When I saw bullet points for health care and global warming but nothing about making our enemies suffer – the only thing I care about. I decided to instead watch the CSI: Miami we had on our Tivo (didn’t have enough time to watch it Monday night since there was also 24 and Heroes). At least with CSI: Miami I got some red meat with an anti-Castro message.
Like every President Bush speech I don’t bother to watch, it ended up getting pretty good reviews. Still, talk isn’t going to help very much at this point. I actually want to see our enemy crying for mercy in front of the President and then see Bush spit on them before kicking them in the face. Then I’ll know he’s not just serious about taking on terrorism, he’s also going to sweep the leg. No mercy!
I’m praying the surge goes well and there’s the proper follow through. We’re America, and we only ever lose wars if we decide to give up… which we never ever should.
So, for those who saw the speech, what did you think? Or were you distracted so much with Pelosi staring at you that you didn’t hear anything?

American Idol Season Six – Memphis auditions

All of Memphis audtioned for American Idol this year.
I would like to say that I want to see more good auditions, fewer awful ones, and zero instances of Simon saying people look like monkeys.
This first guy’s name is Frank Byers, so he should go to the next round, because my husband’s name is Frank. Scratch that. I am not enjoying this. It is wonky and feels like a Slinky to me. He could sing, but I felt like he was a Slinky. And now two men are lifting Ryan in the air. Hrm.
Timika Sims. That is an unfortunate place for her hoodie string’s knot to be. She’s never sung in front of anyone before. And Randy is off his nut this year. He just laughs at everyone. You’re bad? Randy will laugh at you. You’re awful? It’s a laugh from Randy.
Christopher Rivera. Another joke. Somebody slashed his pants with a machete covered in paint.
Alexis Partee, the stripper with the bangle bracelets that went out in the 1980s. I have nothing to say about that.
This guy’s dad named him Sundance Head. It was hell to grow up with that name, he says. I’m so glad he owns it, because if he makes it through, I will have so much fun with that. The marquee says Jason ‘Sundance’ Head. Ooh, and he’s from Texas. And he starts singing, and can he just sing for the entire hour? Why do they have to show all these other jokers at all? Just let this guy hit those high notes that left me breathless. Ok, enough cliches. (One is enough for me.) And I’m a big Taylor Hicks fan, but I have to agree with Simon. This snicker Sundance guy (it helps me say it if I say the word “guy” after his name) is better at first glance. We’ll see how he stacks up. I hope he’s not one of those that Simon was talking about that made it to Hollywood and then crumbled before the final 24.

Black Caucuses for Black People

Rep. Stephen Cohen – a whitey – tried to get into the Congressional Black Caucus.
That’s crazy. Black Caucuses are for black people. Just look at the name of it: the Black Caucus. See the “black” in there? Kinda hard to mistake it for the Honkey Cracker Whitey Caucus – which is where Rep. Cohen belongs, so says I and the black people of the Black Caucus.
What made whitey white man Rep. Cohen think he could join the blackest caucus around? He represents a district that’s majority black. Well, that just makes him all the more suspicious. You’re telling me that, in a district full of black people, they had to resort to electing some cracker? This is a clear case of the white man keeping the black man down.
I’m glad that the Black Caucus is remaining black, though. We as a country have advanced too far on racial issues to not separate each other by color.
