THE SPREAD THE WEALTH SCAM


How is it that in their drive to "spread the wealth around" that plutocrat Democrats still retain their wealth? Warren Buffett's Berkshire-Hathaway may owe the Feds up to $1 Billion in back taxes. If Buffett believes that he should pay more taxes, then he should write a check for what he owes already. There are numerous examples of wealthy Democrats dodging taxes. John Kerry docked his boat outside of Massachusetts to avoid state taxes. Bill Clinton loves to say that he makes a lot of money, yet his deductions keeps him from paying more. The Clinton' are famous for writing off their used underwear and other clothing.
 
How much more taxes will Bill Gates, the Kennedys, the Rockefellers, and other super wealthy Democrats pay if the Bush tax cuts expire? Answer: 0. Socialism in any of its many forms is designed to keep middle class people from entering the upper echelon of wealth. Proposition 30 in California passed overwhelmingly in Marin County, arguably the richest county in California. Their tax lawyers and accountants have worked overtime to insulate their wealthy Liberal clients. No doubt they probably helped write trust fund "kid" Jerry Brown's Prop 30 to amend the California Constitution to pummel the middle class with oppressive taxes. They were helped along by voters receiving public assistance. Here's a suggestion--which will be strongly opposed by the vote-buying Democrats--suspend the voting rights of anyone receiving public assistance until they no longer need such assistance.
 
The ones hit hardest will be small businesses. They will be kept from growing and the old line corporations will be safe from competition. Coupled with the indolent, parasitic 47%ers, once again those of us in the middle will be repeatedly raped financially by this gang of thieves.

THE LOOMING END OF BLOOD SPORT IN OBAMA'S AMERIKA



Last weekend's murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher is bringing out the worst in sports journalists. Whenever sports guys stray from their area of expertise they end up looking like imbeciles. Bob Costas is no exception.  Sunday night at halftime of the Sunday Night Football (SNF) game, Costas adopted the old liberal anti-Second Amendment bromide by agreeing with a column by Kansas City sportswriter Jason Whitlock that guns are the problem with America. Whitlock is also on record as stupidly saying that the NRA is the equivalent of the KKK. This "thought" is dumber than owl droppings. To paraphrase the words of wisdom from comedian Ron White, the next time Jason Whitlock has such a thought, he should let it go.
 
____________________________________
 
Costas should also dial it back on the extreme liberal politics, i.e., "Shut up and sportscast." Instead, Costas demonstrated a goose stepping adherance to the liberal mantra of blaming the gun when he should have been questioning why Belcher murdered his girlfriend, killed himself, and left their 3 month old daughter an orphan. Meanwhile, Costas had a new one torn for him by numerous Twitter followers. And no wonder, SNF was insufferable while Liberal stooge Keith Olberdork (Olbermann) was spewing his unique brand of idiocy during the pregame and halftime SNF shows. I refused to watch SNF as long as Olberdork was there. But he's long gone and is out of our misery! (Good move NBC Sports!) So why should a negative reaction to Costas' dumbass commentary be any different? It really doesn't take courage to be a Liberal stooge. Any imbecile can do it. But these are imbeciles with an agenda. And they're a truly dangerous lot of control freaks, think the Emperor Bloomberg's decree on the size of your soda pop. Like Global Whining there's even a sloppy "consensus" on the science behind Bloomberg's decree. (Help me please real scientist Mr. Wizard!)
 
The next step in the complete castration of the American male will be to blame football's "violence" for causing concussions, (read major brain damage) and hence, severe depression leading to violence against women and as a byproduct of same, causing gun nuttiness. Pseudoscience will also find a causal link for Belcher's actions because of his participation in a collision sport; just as the recent violent hurricane, like Super Storm Sandy is "proof" of climate change (formerly known as  global warming).  I played football, rugby, and soccer 40 years ago and while I do have some residual injuries to show for it, I'm okay with it. But I would not trade any of those experiences (including jerk coaches) for the namby-pamby lifestyle of the typical effete liberal girlie-man. I learned teamwork and more importantly how to work with people that I disliked intensely.

When I watch the Super Bowl it's not for the commercials, it's not for the special Super Bowl chips and dip, and it's not to party. It's to watch athleticism and toughness. I like football, especially the free wheeling hard hitting variety that was played during the Golden Age of football in the 1960s and 70s. Give me a Dick Butkus or a Jack Lambert any day. Where are the truly tough running backs like Jim Brown? There were characters like Conrad Dobler,  and Lester "The Molester" Hayes.  I remember when quarterbacks like Terry Bradshaw--(four Super Bowl rings)--called their own plays. Back then men were truly men and called their own plays in life and on the football field. Whether women want to acknowledge it or not, they miss this kind of take charge guy. The hell with SNAGs (Sensitive New Age Guys). As an aside, the knock on Bradshaw was that he was dumb. You can't be dumb and be an elite NFL quarterback. But do you recognize the similarites to liberal hate speech in action? Most alleged liberal braniacs are one trick ponies that are "smart" in a very narrow area of knowledge.
 
 
In the legal profession we have idiots with fountain pens that sign will sign any will as a witness, ("Where do I sign?"). You can find them in any office building full of lawyers. In broadcasting, I suppose that there are idiots with microphones that are witnesses to wilful stupidity. You can find them at 30 Rock in NYC.

WHY WORK WHEN YOU CAN VOTE YOUR SUGAR DADDY INTO POLITICAL OFFICE?

 
An article entitled, It Doesn't Pay to Work, in the online blog Powerline provides an added argument for my proposal to suspend the voting privileges of those on public assistance until they become self-sustaining. The article provides arithmetic proof that slouchers prosper in the socialist paradigm. The article cites the following example: 
[I]t is now more lucrative – in the form of actual disposable income – to sit, do nothing, and collect various welfare entitlements, than to work. This is graphically, and very painfully confirmed, in the below chart from Gary Alexander, Secretary of Public Welfare, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (a state best known for its broke capital Harrisburg). As quantitied, and explained by Alexander, "the single mom is better off earning gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income & benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income and benefits of $57,045."
 
Besides the apparent futility of honest work, we have lost the concept of shame as Judge Robert Bork pointed out in his book, Slouching Toward Gomorrah. The worse the behavior or the ruder the remark the more socially and politically acceptable it is under the Saul Alinsky social disruption model. These are the tactics of the indolent Occupy Wall Street Movement. This movement went viral in 2012. Most of the participants appear to be pathological protesters and/or relics from the 1960s. None appear to have any real marketable job skills. So the imposition of a welfare state is critical to their survival. 
__________________________________________________________
 
Years ago, I was at a "members only" preview art opening at the San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA). Refreshments were served to the delight of the SDMA's patrons of the arts and regular members like me. But there was a shameless little man hovering around the serving tea cart who was rapidly consuming the little meatball hors d’oeuvres. He was aggressively stabbing at the meatballs over and over again using the same toothpick. He looked like a human sewing machine. And it was the wooden equivalent of "double dipping" with a partially consumed potato chip. He gulped, slurped, and swallowed the tasty meatballs without taking a breath. But he was oblivious to the disgusted expressions of the people around him.

Is there any government cheese in my
SNAP stash?
Now, his once boorish actions are commonplace. Just go down to the local Costco and watch the swarms of human locusts consuming trays of tasty free food samples (Yippee!) without buying anything.**  These 47 percenter parasites  supplement their Food Stamp sorties at the local grocery store with Costco free samples to feed their families. Aren't "Food Stamps" (a.k.a., the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] enough taxpayer largess for you 47 percenter parasites? While many of these freeloaders wouldn't voluntarily put in overtime at work--as if they are ambitious enough to have a job--they will go through brick walls to get anything free. Their mantra is that it's free, so why shouldn't I get my "fair" share?!
 
The Romans lost their empire to a government program called "bread and circuses." It was free of course and the consequences to the Roman Empire speaks for itself. But what would you do if given the choice between working for a living or having a subsistence living provided for you as long as your basic needs are provided for; plus freeloaders have flat screen TVs, medical care, a smart cell phone, food stamps, extended unemployment compensation, the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and Internet access to Red Tube free porn (Yippee!). But wait there's more! You can still vote multiple times to keep the poverty pimps in office. Vote fraud for the masses! Hooray! In California, the 47 percenters voted to raise income taxes on the wealthy and sales tax on the rest of us. Why not? It's not as if any of these slugs were going to be paying much in taxes at all.

THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF PEACE

Was there a suspicious death related to the Benghazi scandal? A Thansgiving turkey previously pardoned by President Obama was euthanized on Monday. The turkey ironically named Peace, was believed by Obama political operatives to have the real lowdown on the Benghazi scandal. Unfortunately, he may have been the victim of a yet another blunder by the Obama administration.
 
The bird was believed by Obama operatives to be spilling his innards out to the CIA. As it turns out, it was the wrong CIA. The bird was actually visiting the Culinary Institute of America in San Francisco as an example of an ideal pre-Thanksgiving turkey. But the Obama administration did not relent in its pursuit of Peace. A failed assassination attempt by drone resulted in the critically wounded bird going before an ad hoc veterinarian health rationing panel under OgobbleCare.
 
It was thumbs down for any further veterinary care for Peace. He was determined to no longer be of any further value to society (read the Democrat Party) because he'd already had a photo-op with the President. The bird was then "euthanized" by political operatives from Chicago after first being given a pain pill. It was a quiet passing.
 
Peace, we hardly knew ye. RIP.

A NATION OF IMBECILES

 
Well, the American Mugabe has won re-election despite the fact that he is the most incompetent U.S President ever to have held the office. The list of POTUS incompetents includes such political lightweights as Warren G. Harding and Jimmy Carter. The current economy sucks and will get worse. But the parasites don't care as long as they get their "gov'mit" check.
 
Meanwhile, Obama sat by and watched as an American ambassador was murdered by Islamo-Fascists. His response to the Super Storm Sandy is tepid at best. Of course, Chris Christie's slobbering ass-kissing praise probably put Obama over the top for this election. Christie deserves to never be seriously considered for any higher office than Governor of a Liberal vassal state. Nobody likes a Pansy Judas. Enjoy your moment in the sun Chris, because these heartless Marxist bastards will toss you away like a used condom, i.e., you got screwed without getting kissed.
 
My biggest condemnation goes out to the Amerikan news media. What a bunch of fawning apparatchik parasites. Perhaps it's time to rethink the free reign that these primordial slime have been given by the First Amendment. Inasmuch as these slime influence the political process, perhaps they should be required to disclose their lives as elected officials have to do, i.e., they must disclose their party affiliation, income, and any relationships that they have with members of the government officials that they cover. That means if you're a reporter covering the White House that's married to someone working for the White House you MUST disclose that fact to the public. Most of the urinalists (read journalists) in the news media are ex-Democrat political operatives.
 
Obama is the creation of the parasitic Baby Boomer scum bags. Boomers are a cowardly lot. They are afraid of being called "racist" as they buy their UNICEF Xmas cards to show that they really "care" about third world children. It's all about appearances to these generational jerks. But maybe as a Baby Boomer, I should just submit to the inevitable Marxist Leviathan that now rules our country. Not! Bring on Gitmo you Liberal Fascist son of bitch pigs!

Random Thoughts

Debate Night

Tonight is the third and last debate between Obama and Romney before Election Day on November 6th. It's amazing that Obama's "victory" at the last debate was declared by the Goebbels Media because he was apparently wide awake. Perhaps he dialed it back on his Soma pills. Soma was the drug of choice in Aldous Huxley's novel, Brave New World. So maybe to unleash his big brain muscle he didn't take his Soma. It didn't help him much because Obama still has no second term agenda, no vision, and no new ideas. He relies primarily upon a 19th century economic and social ideology--socialism--to address 21st century issues. Sad.

Liberalism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy, free, making money honestly, having good clean fun, not redistributing the wealth of other people, and doing it all without government involvement. Apologies to H.L. Mencken.

Obama Lied after a Diplomat Died
 
Unless the Lame Stream Media goes after Obama like they went after Nixon during Watergate nothing will happen to Obama regarding his dereliction of duty at our consulate in Libya. Another Democrat will probably escape justice.

A TALE OF A SELFISH BASTARD

From ConservativeByte comes this bit of prognostication that turned out to be wrong:
Yesterday, Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin went on a local public affairs show in St. Louis with, at most, 12 convalescent viewers and gave birth to the mother of all campaign gaffes in 2012. Responding to a question about rape exceptions to abortion, something asked of every GOP candidate since Roe v Wade, Akin said something about how in “legitimate rapes” pregnancies are very rare. There are at least three serious things wrong with Akin’s answer, but let’s put those aside for now. His candidacy is over. So, what happens now?
At some point before 5pm CDT tomorrow, Akin will file papers to formally withdraw his name from the ballot. I realize today Akin was defiant and said he wasn’t a “quitter.” His supporters claim he will stay in the race because he views his candidacy as “providential”, but this is just the bluster before the end. Everyone is entitled to 24 hours to try to right their ship, but Akin did nothing today to cauterize the wound. When Reince Priebus, Ann Coulter, NRSC and Tea Party Express are all united in saying you should quit, you’ve pretty much run out of options.
Wrong! Akin is still in. But why Akin got into trouble is because he tried to talk about a subject that he is not competent to talk about--biology. Why talk about female physiological reactions to rape--especially to a Liberal-Fascist interrogator? This is something that gripes me about the GOP. Why do they let their candidates go on Liberal-Fascist media shows? Why do only Liberal apparatchiks get to moderate Presidential debates? Those Goebbels Gerbils are looking for gaffes by GOP candidates.

Didn't the GOP learn anything from ambush of Sarah Palin by Katie Koran? How about the musical ambush of Michele Bachmann by that little bitch Jimmy Fallon? When was the last time that a Democrook canine-date went on Fox News for an interview? You can't name one because Democrat weasels know better than to be subjected to questions that would require honest answers.

Meanwhile, there's is a Democrat congressional canine-date that has admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old boy at a public rest stop, sex with an underage child I think it would be called. So where's the wall-to-wall coverage of that pecadillo from CNN, NBC, See BS, ABC, and my favs, the talking dead heads at MS-LSD? How about the sexual harassment lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security? Any takers for that story you Fourth Estate pretenders? I for one am sick of the cancer that is the Democrat party on the American Body Politic and their enablers, the New Pravda media.

As for Akin, what a selfish bastard. He said that he's staying in the race to make a point about abortion--bullshirt! He realized that if he pulled out that come January 2013, he'd be out of a job for sure. I'm disgusted with that bonehead. His ego is being assuaged at the possible expense of continued Democrat control of the Senate.

NOOZE ROUND-UP

Be True to Your School...

The problem with our Federal government is that there is far too much Ivy League School worship. The same is true for the United States Supreme Court. We have all been given the false impression that no one from a non-Ivy League college or university could  be as smart as an average Ivy Leaguer. We also see this educational idolatry in our popular culture. As much as I like the CBS show, Blue Bloods, a program about a family of New York cops; it also suffers from the same malady. The youngest son Jaime Reagan went to Harvard Law School but has chosen to be a New York City beat cop instead of a high priced lawyer. Yeah right, that's a real plausible character. But an even more ridiculous example of Ivy League/false idol worship is the 1988 film Action Jackson. As described on BadMovies.Org, "Action" Jackson is a former college track star and Harvard law graduate turned Detroit cop, with a tendency toward unnecessary roughness. Talk about ridiculous plot lines... It's almost as lame as Harvard Law grad and Chief Justice John Roberts' majority opinion in the ObamaCare case.


Clean Mexican elections make US elections look downright corrupt...

Vote fraud is a form of identity theft. Our identities as free citizens are stolen every time an ineligible person casts a vote in our elections. Next time you think that having to show an ID to vote is racist, try voting in a foreign country without an ID. John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, wrote about the electoral process in Mexico and believes that the United States could learn a thing or two about running a clean election from Mexico:
Mexico has developed an elaborate system of safeguards to prevent voter fraud. Absentee ballots, which are cast outside the view of election officials and represent the easiest way to commit fraud, are much harder to apply for than in the U.S. Voters must present a valid voter ID card with a photo and imbedded security codes. After they cast a ballot voters--just like those famously pictured in Iraq last year--also have a finger or thumb dipped in indelible purple ink to prevent them from voting again. In the U.S. opponents of such anti-fraud measures as photo ID laws claim they will disenfranchise many voters and reduce voter turnout. But John Lott, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, notes that in the three presidential elections Mexico has conducted since the National Election Commission reformed the election laws "68% of eligible citizens have voted, compared to only 59% in the three elections prior to the rule changes." People are more likely to vote if they believe their ballot will be fairly counted.
The recent Mexican election went smoothly with no hint of election fraud. Meanwhile, the most racist and fascist US Attorney General in US history is suing several states because their voting laws would require showing an ID to vote. IDs are required to open bank accounts, get utility services, obtain credit, and for a myriad of other ordinary services. It obvious that undocumented immigrants are really undocumented Democrat voters. Democrats cannot win without vote fraud because their ideas are weak.

The Crack Pots Calling the Kettle...

Listening to the Obama surrogates on the Sunday talking head shows makes one wonder if these people hear what their mouths are saying. The DNC chief urged Romney to release all of his tax returns. Another Obamabot said that Romney was the most secretive candidate since Richard Nixon. Other bots questioned Romney's offshore bank accounts. The subliminal obloquy is that Romney is acting like a secretive tax evading crook. Hmm... didn't Obama seal all of his records from birth through law school? Didn't Obama have business dealings with convicted felon Tony Rezko? Didn't Obama invoke executive privilege to cover up Eric "The Red Racist" Holder's involvement in the Fast and Furious scandal? Yeah, your administration is a real transparent bunch.

A COWARD'S WAY OUT


My jailhouse lawyer friend called it right. When John Roberts was nominated to the Supreme Court, he said that he didn't like Roberts' character because he seemed to play it safe throughout his life. We might have seen a sample of that "play it safe" attitude today with the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion. Roberts allegedly changed his vote against ACA in May siding with the Leftist stooges on the Court.

The rumored motivation for Chief Justice John Roberts siding with statist position was that he was moved to change his vote because of the attacks on the Court by the Goebbels Gerbils (a.k.a., the Mainstream News Media) and radical Senators like Patrick Leahy (D-VT).  Perhaps Chief Justice Roberts did not want "his" Court to go down in history as the spoiler of the historic Presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. Needless to say, what the Roberts "majority" actually did today was to give government the unlimited power to tax. This opens the door to a carbon tax, a fat tax, a soda tax, and taxes on any behavior.

In McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316, (1819), Daniel Webster argued that, "An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy." In his majority decision, Chief Justice Marshall said: "That the power of taxing it [the bank] by the States may be exercised so as to destroy it, is too obvious to be denied, and That the power to tax involves the power to destroy [is] not to be denied." So too, with the potential destruction of freedom of thought using a tax. Imagine a CO2 tax on talk radio. The selective enforcement crowd at Eric "The Racist" Holder's Department of (In)Justice might now feel that they don't have to protect the First Amendment rights of their enemies. So they could conceivably selectively enforce a draconian carbon footprint tax on Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, et al, to destroy them. The enforcement rationale would be that the talkers breathe too much CO2 as they spread, as the ubiquitous Senator Chuck Schumer has said, their "pornography." But Jon Stewart and his ilk would be free--as anyone should be--to spout their radical leftist ideas over the airwaves. It doesn't matter how stupid and anti-democracy those ideas are.

Willkommen to the totalitarian state. The Fourth Reich will not be televised, it will be imposed. But take heart, because as June 6, 1944 was--November 6, 2012 will be another D-Day.  We will have an opportunity to defeat another tyrant.

And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Pero me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I blow?

REPORT FROM CHEDDARVILLE: WHY LIBERALS ARE A CANCER ON THE AMERICAN BODY POLITIC


Liberal-Fascists are sore losers. They seem to like democracy only after they've stolen an election. Read these Tweets from the base of the Democrat Party following Governor Scott Walker's sound defeat of the recall effort against him led by public employee union thugs in Wisconsin. Listen to the lament of an SA-like fruitcake supporter of the Obama Reich. And finally, there's the hysterical bitch rant of the bloviating village idiot of MS-NBC, Ed "Deadhead" Schultz

Uncle Adolph and Uncle Joe would be proud of you Democrats, because you're the kind of unruly, irrational mob that they would have liked in their day. As they say in the law business, res ipsa loquiter, i.e., Latin for, "The thing speaks for itself."

300 PLUS TV CHANNELS AND NOTHING TO WATCH

  • Prologue


While channel surfing through the TV universe, one finds that there's very little or nothing to watch, even if you have cable plus. Most Latina females don't have that problem unless they don't have access to Spanish language TV and the never-ending parade of telenovelas. I refer to these soap opera-like programs as brain rot. One acquaintance of mine had his marriage end because his wife was obsessed with telenovelas and neglected the marriage. I've heard similar stories of "telenovela neglect" from men married to Latinas. While I don't have the problems of my acquaintances; I do long for a good TV show that doesn't involve reality subjects, cops, lawyers, or doctors.        

  • Reality TV is for People Who Can't Live Real Life.


I don't know about you but I'm getting really sick and tired of reality TV programming. I've had enough of singing competition shows, cooking competition shows, dancing competition shows, fashion model competition shows, weight loss competition shows, and dating competition shows. And then there are the reality shows that involve intramural treachery like Big Brother or Survivor

America's Got Talent (AGT) is a Ted Mack and the Original Amateur Hour meets the Gong Show while on crack cocaine. This past week on AGT, we were treated to the sight of man having his crotch assaulted with a kendo stick, a steel toe boot, and a cinder block crushed with a sledge hammer. Unless the man signed a hold harmless/waiver of liability agreement or wore a Kevlar® cup, I'm surprised that the NBC lawyers gave the green-light for the act to proceed. I have never thought that crotch busting videos were funny, even America's Funniest Home Videos. But only a baseball catcher or a serial bar brawler can really appreciate a good crotch busting.

  • They Want Nothing but Cops and Robbers; and When They Get Bored It's Robbers and Cops!


Typical TV cop shows involve rule benders, i.e., the type of tough guys that during an interrogation can rough up a criminal suspect without leaving a mark. Louie the Leg Breaker and SEIU union thugs need not apply. These guys could solve Rubik's Cube if there were only a blood splatter or a bloody fingerprint on it. These cop shows run the gamut from the simple minded Hawaii 5-0 to the cleverly written Castle, which relies less on chop busting and more on brain storming. Then there are the "black and white" shows like Blue Bloods in which there are definite good and bad guys much like the old CBS Walker Texas Ranger TV series, which was loved by my late Grandmother. Right now the copycat trend seems to be rookie cop shows like NYC 22 or Rookie Blue. Zzz.

  • Odor in the Court! Odor in the Court!


Old school lawyer TV shows generally were bogus. They were to the law as Woodpeckers are to carpentry, For example, in Perry Mason all the witnesses are in the courtroom and privy to the testimony of the other witnesses. The dramatic license taken in writing Perry Mason allowed for everyone involved in the case to be present in the courtroom when the guilty party is exposed. The scene often resembles just about any episode of Poirot in which detective Poirot exposes the guilty party in front of the assembled dramatis personae. Generally, under Federal and state law; on the motion of any party or sua sponte, (i.e., the judge does it), that the court may order witnesses excluded so that they cannot hear the testimony of other witnesses. Good trial lawyers and good judges exclude non-testifying witnesses.  

Judd for the Defense attempted to present contemporary legal issues such as those involving anti-war protesters. What bothered me way back then was that Attorney Judd's tactics bordered on the unethical, which contributed to image that the only good lawyers are slicksters. 

Contemporary legal dramas like The Good Wife are generally well written and fairly accurate as to what goes on in a legal practice. The episodes generally capture the cavalcade of legal assholes that one will meet in the day-to-day practice of law. My major problem with The Good Wife is the recurring appearance of that insufferable liberal, Michael J. Fox. I refuse to watch any episode in which he appears.

Law and Order, is an amalgam of a cop and a lawyer show. The shows are based on crime beat news stories, although any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental. The scripts are the rough equivalent of a "rip and read" newscast except that it's a rip and write a teleplay. But at least the news stories are changed somewhat by the writers for dramatic purposes. Oh wait, the news media writers change news stories for dramatic purposes also, i.e., except that their reporting also result in works of fiction. 

As an aside, in over 32 years of on and off lawyering, I've never seen an administrative or courtroom judge use a gavel. But it is a good attention getting device. Unfortunately, that ditz Nancy (a.k.a., "Nazi") Pelosi turned the gavel into a clown prop by arrogantly carrying an oversized gavel prior to the vote on ObamaCare. Liberals have all the class of a cracked toilet seat.

  • TV Physician Heal Thyself


What can I say about TV doctors? If you believe the TV stereotype, they are horny SOBs. They always seem to be having sex in the linen closet or behind the bed curtains in an empty ward. With the exception of House, M.D., I generally avoid medical shows like the plague. In comparison with HouseGrey's Anatomy is a soap opera set in a hospital. But I've stopped watching House, because it became too formulaic, and thus boring. What attracted me to House initially was the chance to learn about diseases, but over the last three seasons it has devolved into a typical medical soap opera. Otherwise, I don't waste my time with doctor shows.

  • With One Exception, TV Sitcoms Are Lame


I like The Big Bang Theory, a show about four super smart nerds working at Cal Tech, although their employer is not specified, the show is set in Pasadena,California. Jim Parsons is superb as the egotistical and eccentric Dr. Sheldon Cooper. But the show is getting a little long in the tooth and except for one of the nerds, all the nerd geniuses are beginning to pair off with females and evolve as couples. Unfortunately, that may be the death knell of the show. TV viewers are persnickety when it comes to characters changing and moving forward, i.e., developing as maturing adults. 

My big fear is that the Indian character, Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali will be "outed" as gay. The running gag has been that he exhibits "gay" traits such as liking Bridget Jones's Diary. If they do "jump the shark" like that, it might piss me off, as well as  the Indian community. I really don't care what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms. But it will piss me off because men that like stuff other than blood-sports or, are interested in things  most people associate with females, are tagged as gay. Yes, I like World Cup soccer, the NFLUFCMLB and (Gasp!) the WWE. But I also like to cook, like Impressionist and Fauvist art, like ballet, and I am a damn good amateur interior decorator. After seeing what I had done with the living room of the house I was renting with a female roommate, I took it as a high compliment when my gay neighbor said I'd make a great gay guy, except that I like women too much. Let Rajesh have a girlfriend and leave nanny state social engineering to Liberal-Fascists like New York Mayor Bloomberg.

The best example of TV audiences resisting change was the classic Leave It to Beaver (LIB) sitcom. Unfortunately, viewers were expecting a cute 8-year old to entertain them for eternity, but tuned out when Beaver Cleaver grew up to become a typical obnoxious adolescent. The show ended in June 1963. The party line was that the LIB actors wanted to move on to new opportunities. But I lived through those times and know that people were angered that Beaver wasn't "cute" anymore. But the later episodes of the series were probably the best written scripts of the show and reflected in its own naïve way, the changing times in the 1960s.

Memo to NBC: you suck at comedy. You haven't had a really funny and clever show since Frazier left the air. The Office (boring), Community (dumb), Parks and Recreation (not funny and a silly portrayal of public employees), and Saturday Night Live (dated and should have been cancelled 20 years ago) are simply NOT funny and are a waste of time. Watching these shows represent hours of your life that you'll never get back. Moreover, the so-called "carbon footprint," caused by the electricity used to broadcast these shows--if you believe in pseudo-science--is destroying Mother Earth.

But my burning contempt is reserved for the NBC show, Whitney, which is an outdated feminist polemic, disguised as a sitcom. The NBC brass keeps moving it around the weekday schedule trying to find a niche for it. Yet it's going to return in the fall. Somebody really big wants this piece of crap show to succeed. My guess is that that person has links to the DNC or NOW

The back story for women like the Whitney character is that they are paleolithic women's libbers, i.e., "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." They demand that sex with "their" men be solely on their terms, including the unilateral right to see other men, while the "main man" waits at home sitting by the phone. Incidentally, I dated two women that are doppelgängers to the female lead of this show. But we've all had lapses of judgment. 

Women like Whitney manifest their poor self-esteem through their predatory sexual attitudes and social ineptitude, i.e., they often assume the worst traits of the men that they allegedly despise. They lack manners and laugh off any social faux pas to their quirky and unconventional personality, i.e., "I'm just being me." 

These women are also not above embarrassing "their men" in front of friends and strangers; or in private at the worst possible moment, e.g., before, during, or after sex. I was at a Cinco de Mayo event and listened to the wife of a really good guy bad mouth him in front of their friends and strangers. Too often, a woman like Whitney thinks that she is the smartest person in the room. She's not.

  • Is There Anything on Broadcast TV That You Like?  


Yes, Person of Interest, Castle, and Revenge. They are well written and as original as television programs can be. 

Otherwise, go read a good book...

McCAIN REDUX OR HEY MITT... WTF?!


Here's a news item that should alarm Conservatives concerned about the Establishment Republicans resolve to defeat Obama:
May 17 (Bloomberg) -- Mitt Romney denounced a plan drafted by Republican strategists to run a racially tinged advertising campaign against President Barack Obama focusing on Obama's former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr.
[Nafta's Notes & Comments: "Racially tinged"?! Facts are facts. Wright is an unabashed racial bigot. And aren't you all a little bit tired of the one-sided racism that Black radicals get away with? For example, the failure of U.S. Attorney General Eric "The Racist" Holder to prosecute New Black Panthers for intimidation of white voters in Philadelphia is a sad commentary on race relations in the US. So much for Equal Protection under the law. White guilt on the other hand is condescending and generally looks really stupid and phony.]
Romney responded to a report in today's editions of the New York Times detailing a proposal for a super-political action committee backed by billionaire Joe Ricketts, the founder of what is now TD Ameritrade, to finance ads featuring Wright, whose racially incendiary sermons became an issue in the 2008 presidential campaign. [Emphasis added.]

[Nafta's Notes & Comments: Click here to view ex-Black Muslim Wright's "racially-tinged" vitriol as discussed in the New Republic. Oops, somehow the left leaning New Republic has made the article about Wright's ex-Muslim background "unavailable" as of the posting of this piece! This is like the old Soviet Encyclopedia changing the facts to suit their Marxist agenda. But here's a veiled threat that is apparently being taken seriously by the RINOs running the Romney campaign. It's in the aforementioned Liberal-Fascist rag, The New Republic entitled Smear Interrupted.]
_______________________________________________

So Mitt; even though these Liberal-Fascists are going to resort to religious bigotry against you and the Mormon Church and to use false accusations of racial bigotry as a deodorant for the stench of their crappy economic, foreign, and domestic policies; you're going to treat the America-hating Wright and Obama with the utmost respect? Huh?

Hey Mitt, in the 2008 and 2012 Republican primaries, why was okay for you to have carpet bombed Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Rudy Giuliani, and Mike Huckabee with no-holds barred negative ads? Now that they're all gone, where's your resolve to defeat the biggest threat to the freedom of the United States since WWII? What makes the arrogant America-hating Obama immune from criticism that any other President--Democrat or Republican--would get for doing such a lousy job? 

Dammit MittGrow a pair for the country's sake.
