A mixed bag of news and views, if you will :) In no particular order
First up, Jon Stewart is America’s most trusted anchorman. At first I thought this would make my childhood hero, Walter Cronkite turn over in his (new) grave. Then I realized that Walter just might agree. All three of the other candidates for the title have an axe to grind, and a cause to proselytize. What sets Stewart apart and far ahead, at least in my book... he’s honest about it. He’s a comedian for god’s sake, he wants you to know he has an opinion. The other top contenders...Brian Williams in number 2 with 29%, Charles Gibson with 19% and Katie Couric with 7%. Jon Stewart got 44%. I can understand Williams and Gibson, but the vapid piece of fluff got 7%? Amazing. To see that Couric is even mentioned is doing her a favor. She even fails at being window dressing. Williams had a great run with Katrina and the Bush administration, it’s kinda easy to get headlines there, but now that there is substance to report, he’s not up to it. Charlie Gibson? I think he got his job because the Today show needed new blood, honestly, why is he an Anchor? Carry on Jon, America needs you!
Looks like the old folksy charm might be wearing a little. Sarah Palin may have dipped into the old legal trust fund a wee bit? The jury is out, I guess, and this is a HuffPost story, so there is some bit of shrillness to it, but it could be. I still stand by the fact that this broad is the WORST thing the republican ever did. Until she is nothing more than a fund-raising puppet, I won’t be happy. Oh, and if she decides to run as an independent, I say bless her little heart. I still think she has been deluded into thinking she is a “somebody” in politics. How sad...
Well, here it is. There is no sugar coating for this... Gidget is dead :( Yup, I still have my stuffed Taco Bell dog from the collection. The batteries are dead, but it still sits proudly on my computer desk. Why is this news, you say? It isn’t. It’s just an homage to cute little dog. And what can you say bad about the company the company that gave us the dog, and the Spork!!
And last but not least... I see hope for the future. I have been Obamatized :) The senate of this country, while doing a bevy of amazingly stupid other things, managed to TURN OFF FUNDING FOR THE PIECE OF SHIT F-22. Lets examine the Raptor-come-shitmonster’s record shall we? Oh wait? You mean we have bought 178 of these over priced pieces of shit and they have NEVER flown a combat sortie? But we’re at war, how can this be? Ohhh, they have a few problems and aren’t quite combat ready yet.
But back to the Senate... What a bunch of morons. Lets see. Secretary Gates didn’t want the F-22 funded. The USAF didn’t want the F-22 funded. The DoD didn’t want the F-22 funded. Well, golly gosh, Mr. Wizard, why was there a funding bill on the floor of the US Senate? Oh, could it be that corrupt pieces of crap like Chris Dodd and the New Mexico Delegation (Udall and Binginthehead) wanted to fund it some more and shove it down the throat of the USAF and up the arse of the American people... Why yes!
Even the Air Force didnt want any more of these abortions. They want the F-35 now. Even the USAF realizes now that these planes are a solution in search of a problem. They’re not combat effective or ready and they will NEVER face an enemy capable of testing them. What amazes me the most, is that even when the DENSE heads that run the USAF figure this out, that our senators cannot. Mr. Dodd, you are cordially invited to go screw yourself.
