They're just missing capes.
My new heroes. And Santelli's from CNBC (Communist National Broadcasting Channel), go figure.

The Frog and The Crazy Extremist Scorpion.
A crazy extremist scorpion walks up to the edge of a pond and sees a frog sitting on the bank. The crazy extremist scorpion asks the frog to give him a ride to the other side of the pond. "No," says the frog, "you'll sting me and we'll both drown." That's silly LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA," said the crazy extremist scorpion, "I would never do that! I want everyone to understand that we scorpions are as peaceful as everyone else LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!"

"Really, I gotta go." said the frog. "You besmirch my honor!" the crazy extremist scorpion said as he grabbed the frog, took out a kitchen knife, and cut off the frog's head.

"Every day on television we are barraged by stories of a 'Muslim extremist, militant, terrorist, or insurgent,' but the stories that are missing are the countless stories of Muslim tolerance, progress, diversity, service, and excellence that Bridges TV hopes to tell." -Muzzammi Hassan,
Founder, Bridges TV

Muzzammi Hassan founded Bridges TV Network to show America that Islam is a peaceful religion and that the average garden-variety Muslim is radically different from those who carried out the September 11 attacks. Muzz had talk shows, soap operas, and even cartoons to help the winning of the hearts and minds of the silly infidel dogs.

Muzz's attempt at concealing the Crazy worked right up until about February 6, when his wife served him with a restraining order and had him kicked out of their home.

"You have besmirched my honor!"

On February 12, police were called to the Bridges Network by Muzz. His wife's head had somehow detached itself from her body. Muzz has since confessed and has been charged with second-degree murder.

"...the stories that are missing are the countless stories of Muslim tolerance, progress, diversity, service and excellence."

I'm going with: "BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY."

You're excited about a Jane Austen
novel to be turned a MOVIE!?!
Really.

Christian 7:33
Haha it's not a movie. It's essentially
Pride & Prejudice with added scenes of
zombies.

Shawn 7:33
Yeah i just saw that. Creepy.

Christian 7:35
It would be the only way I'd read a Jane
Austen book. Zombies make everything
better.

POTUS Operandi.
"Hope over fear." -Barry POTUS

"if we don't move swiftly to put this plan in motion, our economic crisis could become a national catastrophe." -Barry POTUS, weekly address, February 07, 2009 talking about getting the new $825 billion stimulus plan passed

Ouch. We went from Hope & Change to "national catastrophe" in less than less than three weeks? That has got to be a record. But at least he's going to change the way politics are handled in Washington.

"...a new higher standard of accountability, transparency and oversight. We are going to ban all earmarks, the process by which individual members insert projects without review." -Barry POTUS, Tues., Jan. 6, 2009 Associated Press interview as reported by msnbc.com on $775 billion stimulus plan

Yes! That is some change I can buy into at least, if I were a socialist. Wait, what did he just say?

"When was the last time that we saw a bill of this magnitude move out with no earmarks in it? Not one." -Barry POTUS, February 6, 2009 as reported by Charles Babington, Associated Press Writer Friday, to get the NEW $825 billion stimulus plan passed (it did get passed)

Oh dang Barry, back to politics as usual? Say it ain't so Joe! And there's never been a bill passed of this magnitude, except for the one you wanted driven through under the Bush Administration so you wouldn't have over a trillion dollars on your hands alone in your first three weeks as POTUS. Good idea Barry, spread the wealth around. And I'm loving the way you're rocking that Joe Camel look. Smooth.

Devouring These.
It’s hard to put these books down right now. I've got the reading/writing bug. It's odd to say that I'm reading a manual of style for fun, but it comes highly recommended by Stephen King as "not being a bunch of bullshit." How can I not read that, when he sums it up so eloquently. I've been denying this part of me that wants to become a writer for, um, a lifetime. I wonder if this is what it feels like to come out of the closet: "Honey? I have to confess to you. I'm a writer. I've had these tendencies my entire life and I can't hold them in any longer." Yeah, that was liberating. Release the hounds!

Irony Served Rich & Delicious.
"If Sarah Palin isn't enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention. Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through." -Rep. Alcee L Hastings, D-Fla., September 24, 2008, ABC News interview

So what has Alcee been up to since making that quirky little statement? Well recently, he introduced a new bill, H.R 645 calling for the secretary of homeland security to establish no fewer than six national emergency centers for corralling civilians on military installations. The bill also appears to expand the president's emergency power, much as the executive order signed by President Bush on May 9, 2007. That bill gave the president the authority to declare an emergency and take over the direction of all federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments without even consulting Congress.

Did you catch that last part? He won't have to consult Congress. The broad specifications of the bill's language, however, contribute to concern that the "national emergency" purpose could be utilized by the secretary of homeland security to include any kind of situation the government wants to contain or otherwise control.

In summation: kinda crazy black guy makes racially/culturally charged statement against a white chick saying her type of people won't care what they'd do to Jews and blacks. Then, introduces a bill, which calls for the creation of no less than six "national emergency centers" on military installations. Could these centers also be used as detention camp? If we're all about closing Gitmo, why would we need temporary detention centers? Who are we filling these things with and why would you need them on military bases? Did you see this on the news? Of course you didn't because they're all about bringing people together...and then throwing them in internment camps. It's coming kids. I really hope you like Orwell.
