Ten on Tuesday

10 Political Figures, and What You Think of Them

Bill Clinton-Easily the most charismatic statesman since JFK, if not more so. This man could sell you a plate of shit and have you asking for thirds. If any administration knew what was good for them they'd appoint this man Secretary of State 4 Life.

Lamar Alexander-During the 2000 election this was the man I wanted to be President. Sadly he was only third on the Republican side and hadn't turned to the dark side back then. The only candidate that made any sense and seemed human to me at the time. I think he could have done great things for this country.

Tom DeLay-One of the craziest and crookest men in America and somehow someway this sack of steaming shit is still not in prison. We need some kind of strong and lethal prosecutor to send him to jail, Big Bubba needs a bunkmate.

Mike Gravel-I'm telling you folks, I am in love with this crazy old bastard. It is a crime that CNN has taken him off their debates. He rose like ten points after the first democratic debate. I think he is what this country wants, a no nonsense, no bullshit, straight talker who will tell you what is on his mind.

Dennis Kucinich-The Ohio Pixie did quite well in the Democratic debate, but sadly will never be a real contender because he doesn't look the part. Ever since the creation of the television you almost have to look the part to be elected. This man could have played an elf on Lord of the Rings, but has wonderful ideas none the less.

Nero-He always got a bad wrap due to Christian writers and his persecutions of Christians. He improved relations with the greeks, suppressed the British revolt, made peace with the Parthian Empire, built theaters, promoted athletic games and was loved by his people before and after his death. Though he is usually taught in a bad light since the Christians at the time based many of their prophecies on Nero as they saw him as a bad bad man. Much has been said about Rome burning and Nero, but hey who knows without us being there.

Condi Rice-I don't care if she is a fellow Browns Backer, I can't stand this lying bitch. Her and her "husband" have done more harm to this country then any President before them, not to mention the countless number of lives, Iraqi and American, that have been lost because they're nothing but a bunch of cowboys.

Al Gore-A robot no more, he has taken up his quest about global warming and has really transformed himself. We all remember in 2000 how he seemed wooden, robotic, just way too uptight. Now he is fighting for something, seems passionate, and has the look of a man I could vote for.

Barak Obama-The man definitely has some charisma doesn't he? During the democratic debates, least to me, he seemed to be the only one up there that truly had a presidential presence about himself, a certain charisma that the greatest have. It's not always about knowing all the answers or having the best ideas, sometimes it's about leading and having the charisma that makes people want to follow.

John McCain-In the not so distant past I used to respect this man, but that time has come and gone. With the desire to not be denied the Presidency, he has given up his morals, his "straight talk" and his ground to the religious right in the hopes that he somehow will be elected President. I find it sad that a man, who if he was just himself and not this hollow shell, could win the Presidency if he DIDN'T do this course of action has been fooled into this path.

DC, Politicians and the Right to Vote

Over at EndTheColaWars the blogger brings up an interesting thing happening in DC, that the politicians are attempting to impose more taxes on Verizon Center items to fund $50 million for the Verizon Center for "upgrades". Mind you that this place is about a decade old so hardly has the problems of the Pittsburgh Penguins arena. This would also give the building to the DC Government in 2047, if we make it that long and we don't according to the Mayans.

The real kicker of all of this is that Abe Pollin, owner of the Center and I believe all the teams that play in it, is going to give the DC Government a luxury suite if they do this. These puppies run around $3-500k a year, but the criminals in the DC government basically are bribed to hand over $50 million that will "upgrade the Chinatown area". Problem with this, it's pretty much already upgraded as it is going to get as I doubt you could expand the area.

With this comes the push for DC to get the right to vote in national elections. I have a problem with this, and not just due to the Constitution. I hate to say it, but DC has not shown me they can vote with any intelligence. It is hard to find one DC politician who isn't a criminal of some kind. They continue to re-elect Marion Barry to various offices, even after he was busted smoking crack with a prostitute AND forgetting to pay his taxes. Show me some responsibility in voting and then I will consider it. No one forces you to live in DC, you want to vote nationally, move to Maryland or Virginia if you don't want to leave the area.

I know this is cold, but the simple fact is I don't trust the people of DC to vote on a national level. Now I'm sure some will scream and pull out the race card but there is no race card to pull out. I know many white people who live in DC and don't care about voting either way. Now it could be said that this country has a problem with national voting anyways (see 04 election, Dubya) and I would agree with you. Our nation is dumbing down to the point where we are almost regressing on the evolutionary chart. Folks should take serious the most prized gift they have and that is the gift to vote.

Weds Wrap Around

The White House may have had reason to Carol Lam of Duke Cunningham fame. Her case is the most damaging to the notion that the attorney firings are NOT politically motivated. Apparently her ongoing investigation may have led right to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Henry Waxman gets my vote for mad dog of the 21st century. We need to clone this mother fucker and have him run congress with an iron fist. The best part, it may not fall under presidential privilege if not a part of official email server.

Tom Burka sums it up fairly nicely I think.

Berto contradicts himself...again...on a Television interview. It appears to me that this administration is going to the Bill O'Reily school of quotes, forgetting that in this day in age we have numerous sources to quote you from. Be it TV, radio, transcripts, books, stone tablets and even smoke signal.

Polls show that a majority of Americans are doing one of two things. One, they are finally pulling their heads from their ass and realizing what the Republican party is all about or two; they are just polling in major metropolitan cities now.

Even Mormons are pulling away from Dubya and the war.

Pat Tillman's Family isn't buying for one second the Army's findings about Pat Tillman's death. Who can blame them, the Army has been lying since day one about Tillman's death. The propaganda portion of the Army no doubt saw this as a publicity coup and have some kind of real hero from all of this. Of course, it never really happened that way. Of course the Army hasn't been that honest about other deaths as well.

Birthday Linkage

Yeah, works been hell today. Co-worker left at noon because his new big screen TV was arriving on MY birthday. I've been finishing work that I was told wasn't going to be needed done today...and then was promptly read the riot act cause it wasn't done. So here are some various links for folks to peruse today.

OK, this made me feel better during lunch.

MadTV

I've never been that much of a fan of theirs, but they do have amusing bits every now and then. Apparently this weekend they were like Reggie Jackson during the World Series, just knocking one thing after another out of the park.

Alright, I'll admit right now that I have been somewhat absent when it comes to talking about the various political shit storm that has brewing in this country for the last few weeks. I think I figure a good portion of you go out to C&L, ShakesSis, Reason or any other plethora of blogs to get your daily political bullshit. I know back during the election time I tended to rant and rave politics, policy and election but I suppose it may have just been a way for me to try to get some of you off your collective asses, rally, vote, do something so I don't have to since my only plans is to burn everything down to the foundation and start fresh. Well, maybe not everything I'd leave Yellowstone and Yosemite intact, but then they are some of the most beautiful places on this planet.

I know were turned off by the ranting and raving so I tried to go a different route, I tried to talk about things other blogs don't talk about. I tried to be an amalgam of various things as I had no desire to become a member of Edwards' staff, though you'd be damned to see me cave in to those assholes from Fox. In case you're listening Brit Humme, Chris Wallace, Billzzaro, Andy Coultre, Michelle Malkins and Sean Hannity bring all the verbal tirades you want to bring against me. Call me every name in the book, harass me, my friends, my family and my neighbors bedpost that rocks for twenty seconds every night. I will flat out tell you my opinion and I will be damned if you're going to attempt to make me feel bad, embarrassed or anything I don't want to feel. Hell, I'd take an open invitation to your studio for an interview. Then I would have to recreate the infamous night that Brian Pillman debuted in ECW.

Did I ever write that I had a problem with Catholicism, you're god damned right I did. Do I have a problem with organized religion, I guess one would be wise to make that assumption. Do I hate all Christians, certainly not I love my family. Do I believe a great deal of you are more dangerous then terrorists? A hundred fuckin percent and then some. Personally, there's not enough bullets for what I would like to do to a great many of you, and none of it involves murder or assassination, that's what you and yours propagate.

Now then, where to begin on the latest political happenings in the world? I mean there are so many choices, we could talk about the 8 attorney firings which I covered back in the summer when it first came to light but the MSM took their sweet time to pay attention to it. How with each and every day it looks more and more like political actions, and in one case (Carol Lam) where it becomes more and more obvious to me that the Department of Justice obstructed justice to protect some of their friends. Is Berto Gonzo going to resign, without a doubt. Though I would much rather him resign over treating the Constitution like toilet paper then over the attorney debacle.

Then you have General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joints Chief who evidently has a problem with homosexuality. That's nice, there's a good portion of the population who actually WANT to serve in the military when they need it most so they don't keep sending back troops who are physically unfit to fight back to Iraq. According to Gen. Pace he doesn't believe in immorality, and that's why we are fighting for for people to have morals and principles. Really...wow...cause you know one cannot have morals or principles without fighting for them. Morals and principles have always been then main thing crushed by dictators, what was I thinking.

I mean I very well could continue to go on and on about the continual bullshit that this administration is dishing out. If you would like, I know Anita and I are planning this and I'd like to invite everyone out to join us as we March on the Pentagon.
