Barrister

Saw Whoopi Goldberg recently on a video of “The View.” She has an interesting new dreadlocks look ... albeit a rather bazaar one. I was searching for an analogy when my wife hit the nail on the head — an English barrister! Now all Whoopi needs is an ermine-accented red robe!

Afterward: “Whoopi of the Bailey”

True Grit

From the movie “True Grit”

Republicans’ favorite Democrat, Tulsi Gabbard, a Iraqi veteran, a Representative from Hawaii and of Samoan heritage, recently appeared again on Tie View to face down these harpies. I couldn’t find this video on YouTube so I’ll send you to were I found it ... Diogenes’ Middle Finger.

Tulsi surely comes off courageous here. Too bad her politics are so far left. She has a full case of Moxie and would make a good Republican.

Outrageous

Donald Trump is outrageous. He is braggadocios, He is vain. He lies. He is pugnacious, He is puerile. He is vulgar. He is a super patriot. He loves the trappings of wealth and fortunately is wealthy. He is a bully. He is too loud. He tweets too much. He has a too-beautiful wife ... actually has had three of them ... and lots of too-beautiful children.  And he is successful in most everything he does ... even running for and becoming President of e United States ... ugh!

So how do his enemies react to this outrageous man? Of course, by being outrageous and coming unglued. The Lefties in this  country are tying themselves in knots resisting this outrageous man. After all, outrage is the exclusive bailiwick of liberals and President Trump is an interloper. Chelsea "Potty Mouth" Handler, Code Pink, Congress's Women in White, Act Up, Michael "the Hut" Moore, the George Soros goons, the unruly Dems in the Wisconsin legislature, The View, Berkeley students, Mika "I'm sorry, but" Brzezinski ... and too many more on the hard Left are outraged at this outrage of a president. A century of sleep is lost among these resisters ... thinking up their next stunts or slurs that will make the next day's news ... to display the depth of their outrage.

This is all very humorous ... and outrageous.

Nurses

Right before I recently went into the hospital, Joy Behar (Joyless Blowhard) made some disparaging comments about the nursing (non)profession on "The View" ... see: Breitbart Story. After an understandable outrage, she and her cackling brood had to retract these comments on a following day's show. However, witnesses profess that, even after this small backtracking, these hens continued their smearing during the show's commercial breaks. How very lowlife!

And I can attest by my recent medical experiences that nurses, nurses aides, orderlies, etc. play vital roles in the health-care field. Doctors, like quarterbacks, tend to grab all the headlines. But it is these Florence Nightingale stalwarts who really do the healing ... just like the linemen win or lose football games.

May I suggest that grandstanding on afternoon television with inane banter is the true non-profession?

Ice Cube

President Obama faces a bit of a dilemma tomorrow night in his critical debate at Hofstra University with Mitt Romney.  If he emulates his sidekick, Joe Biden, and emotes himself into a fiery frenzy, he will be going across the grain of his carefully-constructed image of Mr. Cool (see my previous blog entry: Mr. Cool).  I am convinced that his seeming unflappable demeanor was a big asset in his run for the Presidency in 2008 ... and for his continued popularity among the viewers of TV shows like The View and The Dave Letterman Show.   Since television is a cool medium, this u-turn in style may have the unintended consequence of sullying his aura, particularly among females (as I am convinced was the result of Biden's debate buffoonery.)

So, tomorrow night, Obama must walk a thin line between being aggressively hot and being passively cool.  I can't predict how he will actually perform, but, if Obama can pull off this tricky maneuver, Romney will be back climbing a steep hill to 270 electoral votes.

Squibs

Squibs are tiny explosive devices often used by Hollywood to simulate bullet hits to inanimate or animate objects in a movie. The following are a few teeny mind-poppers that I have found interesting in my morning romp through the dew-strewn Internet:

- Best reason to vote for Romney – Madonna has threatened to bare it all if Obama wins his quest for another four years of self-indulgence … see: TheHill Story.

- Iran is accusing the International Atomic Energy Agency (an arm of the U.N.) of passing on secrets of its nuclear-enrichment program to Israel … see: Reuters Story. The obvious question is … if Iran is just processing this uranium for electricity-generation and medical applications ... as it professes, why would it have any state secrets for which it felt a need to protect?

- A drug-testing technician here in Massachusetts has been found to have had bogus credentials. This has thrown thousands of drug convictions that relied on her testimony into question … see: ENews Story. I can understand the chagrin of the state’s judicial process over this disclosure … with the threat of many drug convictions being overturned … including many who have already pleaded guilty. Many who have already pleaded guilty?? … are we nuts???

- Brazil now recognized three-person hook-ups a legal civil unions … see: Breitbart Story. I can see the legal entanglements arising out of this silly precedent as growing exponentially. But then I foresaw this same outcome for same-sex marriage. What do I know?

- On The View this past week President Obama referred to himself as “eye candy” ... see: Reuters Story . What kind of candy Barry? Nonpareils? Red Hots? Can our President get even more vacuous in his attempt to reach that uninformed voter group that Jay Leno interviews in his Jaywalking segments?

Whoopie Pie

Back in 2009 Whoopi Goldberg on The View defended Roman Polanski by saying that his being charged with statutory rape wasn't "rape rape" (see: You Tube View).  What (or whom) does this remind you of?

A PC Christmas

“T’was the night before Christmas ...” The NAACP has complained to the Civil Rights Commission arguing that this line should be updated to read “T’was the night before Kwanzaa ...”

“Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” The Friends of Animals takes umbrage at the term “creature” and is insisting that it be changed to “lovable, furry thing that should not be trapped.”

“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care” The Cross-Dressers of America want it noted here that this means taupe silk hose with oh-so-cute lacy stuff around the top ... and that only Woolite should be used to wash such dainties.

“The children were nestled all snug in their beds” The North American Man-Boy Love Association wants this changed to “nestled all snug in our beds”.

“... while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads” Michelle Obama has insisted that this phrase be changed to “thoughts of low-fat Greek yogurt” and is threatening to go on The View if she is ignored.

“Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap” The Queer Nation is objecting to the use of such stereotypical male/female bonding units as representing an idealized family.

“The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow” Yoko Ono insists that such sexists comments show that we still live in a male-dominated, piggish society. She wants this word changed to “chest.”

“As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.” The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a complaint stating that leaves left unraked into the winter represents a violation of Sections 125.92: J and 9734.2: D-G of the Omnibus Environmental Protection Law of 1993.

“... with a little old driver” AARP has sought an immediate court injunction to estop such pejorative comments about senior citizens.

“... jolly old elf and I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself” The Little People’s Society has also insisted that the term “elf” and its associated derision be immediately expunged from this narrative.

“On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen” The ASPCA has issued a formal complaint against St. Nicholas, citing his verbal and physical abuse of these eight tiny reindeer.

“He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot ...” The Animal Liberation Front has threatened to throw cow’s blood on anyone who dares to dress up in such insensitive costumes.

“... little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly” The Surgeon General has demanded that a printed warning be put on this page saying that being obese to this degree could be hazardous to your health.

“The smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath” Henry Waxman, a congressman from California, has threatened to hold hearings unless this line is stricken in its entirety.

“He filled all the stockings and turned with a jerk” Steve Martin has gone to court suing for 10% royalties for the use of the term “jerk”.

“... up the chimney he rose” The Trial Lawyers of America has stated that forcing Santa Claus to enter and exit a premises via the fireplace is demeaning and likely to cause bodily harm. They are assembling a massive class action suit against all those parents who allowed Santa to visit in this manner.

“He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle” The AFL/CIO is demanding to know if St. Nick is a member of their North Pole Teamsters’ local. If he can’t produce proof that he is, they are going to picket New Years.

“Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!” The National Education Association has objected that this line, and all the rest of this story ... saying that they contain words that are spelled correctly. This is obviously intended to stifle the creativity of our children.
