Seriously?

Way to go Oklahoma...and all the other states who are standing up for the 10th amendment (For those of you who do not know what that means, please do us all a favor and leave the country. You are incapable of living in a free society, incapable of being able to read and probably still live in your mother's basement.)in the wake of "Obamacare."

The lawsuits filed immediately after the bill was signed will be an interesting process to watch. I imagine these lawsuits will get fast-tracked to the SCOTUS where one, lone, single man (sort of...Justice Kennedy)) (for those of you who were educated in government schools, how does that jove with the Founders?) will determine the fate of the republic. ONE MAN. Read that again. We are giving the fate of the (remaining) free world to one man in a black robe.

If I were a history or poly sci instructor in this country, I would be frothing at the mouth to get this into my classroom...but then again, I am anti-union and generally an anarchist so that leaves me out of the teaching profession; as are most people who have the ability to think. Besides being COMEPLTELY unconstitutional (well, if one can READ the Constitution; a few of the jurists seem to lack that capability.) it will be an incredible teaching moment for our country IF we ever want the republic to survive. And it all boils down, quite simply, to do you want a king (Obama) to tell you what to do or do you want the freedom to decide for yourself? Now where has that question been asked before in our history? Hmmmm. I know i've heard of that before AND I think I read somewhere that there is nothing new under the sun...now where did I read that? The memory IS the first thing to go I suppose.

Apparently, the Legislative Black Caucus of Oklahoma...and every other state I'm sure...(I'm sure an august body in its own right) is all in a tizzy because of this statement from Rep Brogdon: "Brogdon said Congress has no more authority to tell Oklahomans where to buy health insurance than it does to tell them where to buy a fried chicken dinner." The LBC is outraged because of the use of "fried chicken dinner" and the color of Obama's skin; as if they have ANYTHING remotely to do with each other. Well, if you are a complere blathering idiot and insecure in yourself, I guess I understand. BUT, the LBC is going to the asshole to get to the elbow in trying to link that comment to being a racist statement. But then again, disagree with ANY black man (President or not) and you are a racist.

Welcome to America, 2010.

Oscars

I haven't put too much up regarding the recent Oscar ceremony...been trying to figure out my thoughts. I did NOT see all the Best Picture nominees but I did see a fair number and I couldn't agree more with the academy's choice of "The Hurt Locker" for this year's nod. AND also the respect paid to the troops by the winning team. Unusual in "Hollyweird" to see liberal types utter anything positive about our troops. Where was Susan Sarandon? Michael Moore? In Sarandon's case, her "cougar factor" has apparently waned; she and longtime activist/idiot/bf Tim Robbins split. (That being said, "Bull Durham" is still one of my all-time favorite movies!)

Congrats to the cast and crew of "The Hurt Locker" for showing our troops in a positive...if disarming bombs can be considered positive...light. Jeremy Renner did an amazing job with his character as well as Anthony Mackie and Brian Geraghty. You will remember Mackie from "We Are Marshall" where he solidified himself as an actor with the ability to pour himself into a character with ease. Geraghty was also in that movie but I remember him more from the film "Jarhead" where he did a great job as well. Rent and watch this movie...and then make sure to thank all teh men and women who wear the uniform around the world.

I just saw "Crazy Heart" and Jeff Bridges did a fine job as a broken musician who has lived each and every one of the country songs he ever wrote. Unfortunately, the old stereotype of country music folks being stupid, drunk, bumpkins continues in this movie but stereotypes are there for a reason...although it is changing. Being part of the country music industry for the last decade or so I would be very surprised if there are drunken binges the likes of which we saw on the screen in this movie. Maybe we saw a precursor of this character in his role as Jack Baker in "The Fabulous Baker Boys." Same sort of character, different music style. Either way he got the hot chick in both. I fell in love with Michelle Pfeiffer in that film; remember the red dress on the piano?

Always a fan of Collin Farrell too. His supporting role was very well done. Understated and exactly as big as it needed to be. The show stealer for me though was Maggie Gyllenhaal. Wow! Incredible performance equal to that of Jeff Bridges, imo. She is as smart an actress as I have seen and I expect to see her a lot more in the future. Not to mention she is smokin' hot too! BUT that is an afterthought. Watching her work emotionally through the film was shear pleasure.

The rest are trivial; Baldwin and Martin were fine although you could tell Baldwin was scared shitless; he had no idea what to do with his arms and they were always stiff. How/why are actors scared shitless on a stage? While many people watched this year, they don't watch to see who won "Fereign Language Film." They watch for the big 5 awards; Picture, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress. One could include Director in there but who really knows a director outside of Spielberg and Scorcese? So, make it an hour long televised event and make everyone in attendance sit through the BS categories from 7-9. Cut in live from 9-10 and get it over with already.

The Sage from South Central

Larry Elder is another one of my favorite columnists and here he hits it out of the ballpark with the difference between the "D's" and "R's":

"A collectivist, whether an active or passive one, is still a collectivist. Having an "R" after the name provides no defense."

No kidding. Friend and fine fellow Magruder used to say that the difference between a "D" and an "R" is that with the "D" you are in a car going over a cliff at 100 mph; with the "R" you are in the same car but only going 75 mph. And with all due respect to Rush and the rest of the pundits, there really is NOT a difference between the two parties any longer. To say otherwise is disingenuiness and trying to keep an audience. O'Reilly is the worst offender of them all. He wants it both ways; gov'mint needs to do this but not this. You either have freedom or you don't. I can no longer support a party that believes in collectivism. And teh evidence that the GOP is falling in line and doing just that.

Ronald Reagan (all praise he!) once said; "I didn't leave the democratic party; the democratic party left me." In 2010 the GOP had better wake up and smell the coffee lest that quote will pertain to them in the very near future.

Really?

"The FCC wants 100M bps service to be available to 100 million U.S. homes by about 2020."

I want a smaller ass, six-pack abs and get to know Ann Coulter intimately.

You Know its Tough...

...when they ("D's")are eating their own.

NOTHING makes me more excited...well, except maybe Ann Coulter. :-)

WHAT? No Johnson County (KS)?

The entitlement capital of Kansas is NOT considered one of the nations wealthiest counties? Surely you jest? All you do-gooders from JO unite and get Steve Forbes on the line. Doesn't he know who you are? Look for a nice tax increase to cover the cost of an ad campaign to bring the rest of the country to believe in the greatness that is Johnson County.

What rwally shocks me...well, not really but it makes for good copy...is that all but 4 of the top 25 are EAST of the Mississippi and all (mostly) are in liberal bastions like Marin County, CA. Huh/ Maybe we need a higher tax rate for all of those counties as those folks SURELY aren't paying "their fair share." So that's where all the rich folks live. Tax the hell out of 'em for all I care.

Round and Round She Goes...

...the numbers from the CBO that is. Supposedly a bipartisan, neutral oversight body now says that PBO's budgets will add MORE to the deficit than originally planned. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/05/AR2010030502974.html

The funny thing is that just last week weren't we told that if we pass ObamaScare, we will actually LOWER the deficit by a trillion dollars. I even heard two "D" congresscritters say the VERY same thing on O'Reilly's show last week...in trying to be fair and balanced, Bill invited two "D's" on and they could not resist telling Bill how wrong he was while citing the very same CBO that says this.

And you people who elected this idiot (Yes. I called him an idiot. Nothing racist about being an idiot. GWB was an idiot too.) believe him? And you stand up and espouse how great this man is. Where have your minds gone?

We are so screwed...and there is nothing you libs can do about it.
