I won’t normally comment on politics. It’s just way too easy to offend just about everyone with a simple statement like “In my opinion, the President was wearing an ugly tie today.” Even though it’s my opinion, it just starts a flame war. I just agree that I disagree with people and leave it at that. I have my opinions on our government and I vote. I work for a local government and I am an elected official.
Ok. So my Beloved David was watching the news last night and the President of the United State is taking time out of his busy to announce his upcoming appearance on Muthbusters. And not only did he drag the Mythbusters (Jamie & Adam) all the way across the country for this press conference – he had his speech writers write him up a speech (because we all know this man doesn’t say hello without having a speech written) and he stopped his entire day to announce his upcoming appearance on a Reality TV show.
WTF! Doesn’t this man have better things to do with his time? Isn’t our economy in the tank? Don’t we have a health care crisis? Shouldn’t our Pretender & Thief be concentrating on these things rather than appearing on TV? And not even a news or a talk show – a reality TV show. Come on. Puh-LEASE!
I think Obama is putting the Mythbusters in a very awkward position. Not once in all of thier 8 season have the Mythbusters mentioned politics or religion. They have been very careful to keep their opinions off the show. As a matter of fact you don’t know if they are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or Martian. You don’t know if they are Christian, Hindu or Buddist. But now, by forcing an appearing on the TV show Mythbusters our Pretender & Thief is making it seem like the Mythbusters are endorcing him and therefore his policies and his activities. Obama is being very unfair – but that doesn’t matter to him.
The Mythbusters are revisiting the Archimedes Death Ray. Again. For the 3rd time. I think that this is wrong myth for this show. I really think they should be revisiting the myth from the “End with a Bang” show. It’s where Jamie & Adam go to the zoo, gather various poop sample and attempt to polish it. Jamie took lion. Adam took giraffe. Yeah, the Polish a Turd myth would be appropriate, in my opinion, as I think our President is full of it. They proved once that you can polish a turd and they’d be able to prove it again. As my favorite Woozle says, “Polish a turd it’s still a turd.”

I have a new favorite phrase. “Sod off, Swampy”
from the OpinionJournal.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘Sod Off, Swampy,’ Says Cockney Barrow Boy Spiv
“When 35 Greenpeace protesters stormed the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) yesterday they had planned the operation in great detail,” reports the Times of London:
What they were not prepared for was the post-prandial aggression of oil traders who kicked and punched them back on to the pavement.
“We bit off more than we could chew. They were just Cockney barrow boy spivs. Total thugs,” one protester said, rubbing his bruised skull. “I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view.”
Another said: “I took on a Texan Swat team at Esso last year and they were angels compared with this lot.” Behind him, on the balcony of the pub opposite the IPE, a bleary-eyed trader, pint in hand, yelled: “Sod off, Swampy.”
“Greenpeace had hoped to paralyse oil trading at the exchange,” the Times notes. It’s pretty clear who the thugs are here, and it’s not the Cockney barrow boy spivs.

I found the following description of bin Laden amusing. It is from When Will Obama Give Up the Bin Laden Ghost Hunt?
“Finally, there’s the mystery why bin Laden didn’t pop up during the election. You would think a narcissistic mass murderer who believes he has a place in history would find it impossible to pass up an opportunity to give his opinion at such a momentous time, at least dropping off a DVD at the al Jazeera office in Islamabad.”

You would think after working in local government for 10 plus years I’d be able to spell politics right on the 1st try. You would be mistaken if you thought that. BUT… that’s not the theme of this post. Here’s my prediction.
At this point Obama is gaining strength every day and the Hill is loosing it. 1st, she will do EVERYTHING legal or illegal, ethical or unethical to get the Presidency. She’s got to, she can’t be in the shadow of her husband all her life. But that’s not my prediction either. My prediction is that after Hillary looses the 2008 Democrat Primary to Obama, she and Bill will get divorced. Not right after, but with in 5 years. Politically neither will have much pull, she can’t win the Big Office and he’s just an aging Playboy. She won’t need him and he doesn’t want her. That’s just my prediction.

Ok. Here’s another shameless plug for www.kalarhythms.org
I just wanted to get on record, before super Tuesday, what My beloved has been telling me for the last 4 years. This election year was going to rock and roll. (his time frame, my words). He has told repeatedly that the 2008 election was going to very exciting because it’s in the cycles. The most exciting since the 1960’s. And looking at all the hoopla that we’ve been seeing, he’s been right. So I figured since politics really is all about shameless plugs, I’d put my shameless plug in for www.kalarhythms.org Go there, learn more.
