Welcome truth seekers to the “Flush”. I don’t know where I heard that “truth seeker” thing – Star Trek? – but I like. Hey, this photo, which my son sent me, is of the world tallest building – Bur Dubai 2.620 feet. We can’t even rebuild the World Trade Center.
1. So Obama is going to withdraw the troops in Iraq. 17K+ are headed to Afghanistan. And 50K will remain in Iraq. That’s bullshit. What kind of crap is that? Get ‘em the hell out of there already. Bring ‘em home. Does it really take 50K troops to guard that boondoggle embassy that we didn’t need to build in Iraq? No. We STILL have 30K troops in South Korea. And, that war was over back in 1953! There are STILL 68,000 American troops in Germany and WW2 was over back in 1945!
2. Good to hear the Truck’n Bozo again. I had XM until I switched trucks. Now with the merger, the Bozo is available on Sirius. Can someone tell Evan Lockridge to listen to Bozo to hear how a radio should sound. Lockridge fell asleep during his interview today (with someone from FKR Associates) and was awakened by his board op with loud noises on two occasions.
Monday, Lockridge is going to have a nutritionist on to tell drivers how to eat. This show does not get any better. It’ll be a great time to listen to the Stern rerun, then switch over to Bubba.
Lockridge emailed me to tell me I overvalue my self-importance and made some weird reference to “Hal”, the computer voice in the movie “2001 – A Space Odyssey.” Whatever. His radio show sucks and he can kiss my ass. Sirius should give his 2 hours a day to me and he can stick with the news.
3. Caught a little of Glen Beck today. What it is about these Fox boys? Are they “ordered” by Rupert Murdock to spend the first 10-20 minutes of their show talking about NBC, MSNBC and The New York Times? How many times does Bernie Goldberg have to tell us that he worked for CBS in the “glory” days. Who cares? Or they trot out that worm Dick Morris instead. Beck’s good for about 15 minutes.
4. Caught a little of “Whatever” with Martha Stewart’s daughter and her chubby friend, Jenn. Whoa. When I reviewed this show in a previous post I told you Jenn does not want to grow up. Well on today’s show she was talking about her “fat” years in high school. High school? That was ages ago. She’s a grown women with children for goodness sakes.
She said, “back then” she was ugly, fat and gross. Guess what? Nothing has changed. Along with her childless, unmarried, shallow and arrogant buddy , Alexis – both of them - shining examples of NEPOTISM –this show is for stupid women who spend more time worrying their hormones, yoga lessons and personal trainers, than making a living. It should really be called the “Caddy Yenta Show.”
5. The Rocky Mountain News – Denver - in business since 1859 closed today. Do you read a newspaper anymore? I don’t. I “read” the news on my Blackberry or before I begin posting here on the “Flush”, I go online and take a look at what’s news. If I see The New York Times or Wall St. Journal on sale somewhere – the FJ in Tulsa always has them – I’ll buy them.
6. I drove through Virginia today down I-81. I did not stop anywhere and did not spend a dime in the State. I refuse to fuel anywhere in VA. VA can go to hell. And, looking at the motels along the route, they don’t have truck parking.
7. Knoxville TN - I’d like to take just one of those cars 65/trucks 55 speed limit signs down and smash it over the head of whichever moron/s made it law. The traffic – car and trucks – was moving along at 65-75 mph. Near the split, one big truck was pulled over by “law enforcement” while traffic sped past them. What a joke.
8. North Korea. So they might launch a missile. Maybe it’ll be directed toward the US. Can we shoot it down? Are you kidding? The Department of Defense can’t even receive a partial LTL load of lumber and you expect them to shoot down anything. No way. North Korea is a pimple on the ass of the US that should have been popped years ago. Why can’t the South Koreans take of this by themselves already? Jesus - Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Palestine,Cuba and North Korea – enough already.
