Wow, I Could Have Had A G8

Last month, I was freaked out to discover that people are actually reading my blog. I usually just write what is on my mind. I vent, I let it all out. It’s therapeutic. It’s for me. But then one of my rants touched a nerve in the homophobe community and strangers started leaving comments. It was weird. But I’ve decided not to care. This is for me. If you gain something from reading it, great. If not, fine. Want to leave comments? Do it. Want to disagree? Do it. I’m game.

Since it’s been a while since I’ve had time to post, perhaps a quick round up is in order.

First, cheers to our fatuous “leader” for being his disgraceful self at the G8 conference this week when he said, “Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter." Then he proceeded to punch at the air. Or was that a terrorist fist jab? Nothing this idiot says or does surprises me anymore. 01.20.09 can’t come fast enough.

Next, we have Senator Phil Gramm telling us that the recession is “mental.” Yeah, I get it. When it cost $70 to fill my tank last week and it used to only cost $30, that was my imagination. And the ever rising cost of groceries? All in my mind, dude. Wow, and this guy is McSame’s economic advisor? Lord help us.

Fox “news” outdid themselves again last week when they photo shopped the faces of people who have differing views from their own. They yellowed a guys teeth, added dark circles under the eyes, grossly increased the size of the nose, added to the receding hair line. You know, typical behavior from our favorite far right wing loons. To add insult to injury, the moronic Bill O’Reilly then went on TV and embarrassed himself (no news here) by defending his owners by trying to compare what Fox did to a caricature that a newspaper drew of Billy O’. The poor imbecile fails to recognize (or at least believes that his audience will be too dumb to notice) the difference between a caricature and an actual photo. For those of you who may have been brainwashed from too many years watching the Fox propaganda programs, here is the difference between the two. A photo is an exact likeness of an individual. A caricature is a drawing that purposely exaggerates certain features on an individual. Examples include Jay Leno’s chin or Duh’s ears. You could even draw Duh with a Pinochio nose. In review, photo = exact likeness. Caricature = intentional exaggeration. Bill O’s argument = nonsense.

I love how the republicans are trying to label Obama as a flip-flopper. Hey, it worked against Kerry, why not try it again? Meanwhile, their candidate has flip-flopped on virtually every issue he’s ever been asked about. Don’t like his position on an issue? Wait 15 minutes and ask him again.

Then there’s the “elitist” strategy. Yeah, label the poor black kid who grew up in a single home an “elitist.” Talk about how you just can’t picture Obama standing at the salad bar at Appleby’s. What? Appleby’s doesn’t have a salad bar? Why, only an elitist wouldn’t know that, right? So just keep trying to make the “elitist” tag stick while your guy continues to fly around on his sugar Mama’s private jet.

Finally, we have Hannity still going on about a lapel pin. Really, Sean, that’s all you’ve got? A piece of jewelry?
