This is the United States of America, not Nazi Germany, WW2 Japan or North Korea. And if the folks in Kansas don’t have the balls to keep a few “terrorists” in Leavenworth, then they’re nothing but cowards. I did an earlier post on this – send them all to Rikers Island in NY or put them in a prison ship docked right across the street from the (former) World Trade Center site. I’m sure the NYPD can take real good care of ‘em.
2. Started listening to the news again. Absolutely horrible. CNN is just as bad as Fox. NPR is out of touch with reality. We now have 24/7 commentary, no news. Clearly journalism is dead. Fox has a new “show” at 5pm. Someone named Glen Beck. I never heard of him. I listened the first day. I tried again today. He is terrible. I don’t get it. Today he had on some Lt. Colonel talking about Gitmo. Lt. Colonel’s should be seen and not heard. I never listen to any member of the military unless they have 3 or more stars. Everyone with less rank is irrelevant.
Second “guest” on Beck was James Dobson. OMG. Dobson and domestic terrorist Rick Warren need to be cast away together in a little pink boat somewhere out in the Pacific. Dobson was “talking” about serial killer Ted Bundy and pornography. Dobson said something about “scantily clad women” and violence and Bundy. Beck, Dobson and Warren are loons. Takes Fox “news” down another peg in my book. Beck’s show doesn’t have the necessary staying power for that hour. I predict he’ll be gone in six months or less.
In all fairness, Beck did say one thing that made sense – that since Obama took office the “news” has been dominated by liberals vs. conservatives vs. liberals vs. conservatives. And this is really boring. How many times do we have to hear that worm Dick Morris be interviewed on Fox about socialism and a “Trojan horse.” I truly wish this guy would just disappear somewhere. Morris, Limbaugh and Gingrich now hang out in Florida broadcasting, commenting, writing books and making millions. Gingrich has been out of office for 10 years now. Unfortunately we stuck with all three of these clowns.
While CNN was reporting on new developments in stem cell research, Fox was “reporting” (breaking news) on Caylee Anthony’s grandfather wanting to commit suicide. Who cares? Don’t know who Caylee Anthony is? Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter.
Bill O’Reilly on Fox has decided he is going to spend the next 4 years being “Paul Revere.” Speaking of Kool Aid, he’s hitting the bottle, big time. 30 minutes of his “No spin zone” is worth your time – the rest is useless BS. Same with Lou Dobbs over on CNN.
3. Tim Geithner for the Treasury. Absolutely not. President Obama needs to untie this tax cheater from the dock and let him float away into the night. Why is Obama insisting on confirming him? It’s a Bush (league) move. I wasn’t too happy about Holder for AG whereas Hillary was brilliant in her first day as Secretary of State.
4. Libya’s Kaddafi says the Jews should move elsewhere and there will be peace in the Mideast. He crazy nuts, but on this one he is actually right on. I have suggested the Jews buy Cuba and move there. Then, together, we can build a 90 mile bridge to Havana from Key West and make Cuba the next State and legalize gambling there. Is this a formula for peace or what? And the Palestinians, Egyptians, Syrians, Iranians and the rest of the 15th Century religious nuts can go screw themselves.
5. So we’re in a depression. That’s obvious. I called it a “decession.” Especially if you get out of NYC and see what’s happening around the rest of the country. But, please, no more bank handouts, I mean bailouts. They don’t have to account to anyone what they’re doing with it. But “everyone” knows they’re hoarding the money - not loaning it out. It’s no big secret. So give the money to the people. Mail me a $2500 “stimulus” check, and move aside and watch me spend that sucker.
6. Carolyn Kennedy. She “dropped out” of the running, contest -whatever(?) to fill the MT Senate seat formerly held by now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. I don’t feel this should be the responsibility of the Governor to fill the seat. It should be done by a “special” election. I said that about Illinois Governor “Blogo-stitch” filling Obama’s seat. But Kennedy? No way. Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand has been chosen. Never heard of her. Who cares? It’s NY and I live in FL.
