Blogettes

Blogettes of the week:

Does anybody really think Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and other right-wigers are going to vote Democratic or stay home for the elction in November? Just a ratings ploy.

Does anybody really care any more about the steroid scandal in baseball now that they finally have a drug rule in place?

What is Obama going to change if he becomes President? His hair? His underwear? What? When he gets specific on ANYTHING, please let me know!

Does anybody not believe that McCain & Romeny have worked out a deal where Romney will be Veep on his ticket?

Was John McCain's vote against abolishing waterboarding a ploy to gain conservative votes or does the former tortured P.O.W. really belive it is not a form of torture?

If the CIA does not use waterboarding, why would the administration care if is banned?

Does anybody not believe that gas prices will drop and the national alert will rise right before the November election?



Who will have their reputation restored first- George "W" or Britney Spears? Does anybody care?

Distractions! Distractions

Another distraction by the U.S. government to keep us from paying attention to the decline in the U.S.-Congress isspending our tax dollars to find out the truth behind steroid use in baseball. Just what they need to be concentrating on at this time when the dollar is falling, the hosuing market is crashing, the recession is worsening, the wars in Iraq AND Afghanistan are continuing, and a $3 TRILLION budget is at their feet! C'mon people! What next? An ivestigation into the sex life of Madonna? The child custody battle with Britney & KFed? The drug overdose of Heath Ledger? Whether Paris Hilton is a fit dog owner? Even yesterday, Senator Specter approached the NFL commissioner about the "spygate" scandal of the Patriots! Anything to keep our minds off of reality and to keep the government from actually having to face the issues and problems at home. Spend, spend, spend and keep the distractions coming.

In related news, Cupid will be appearing before a Senate hearing committee on whether it is lawful for him to carry concealed arrows and to bring love into the lives of the loveless or whether that would fall under stalking laws and violate a persons right to be unloved.

Also, it was reported by the AP & UPI newswires that Hell has officially frozen over and the ice is thick enough to support the entire U.S. Congress, Supreme Court, and Executive branch.

Nuke me up

Did anyone see this? Apparently the government is looking for input on the proposed transfer of nuclear waste through North & South Carolina on its way to Tennessee for procesiing and then to Utah for disposal. Sounds okay right? Wrong! The nuclear waste is from Italy! Why are we importing another country's nuclear waste? Don't we have enough here that needs disposal? Doesn't Italy have their own disposal plants? If not, then why are they producing nuclear waste. Disposal of nuclear waste is not something I think of as an international affair, much less an intercontinental affair. Hey, since this country is going to "hell in a handbag" anyway, lets open our borders to all the world's nuclear waste-China, Europe, Russia, North Korea, Iran. Maybe that is how we should handle the immigration problem. If the U.S. is full of nuclear & toxic waste, maybe illegal immigrants will stop crossing our borders out of fear of sterilization or mutation. Then maybe the rest of us can live in peace (or in pieces)-watching our reality TV with our third eye while multitasking with four arms.

On a related note, I remember in the early 1980's that if you went deer hunting in S.C. and you bagged a deer, you had to take it to regulation center to have it checked for radiation before you could take it home &/or eat it. Is that where we are headed again?
