Stop Pissing Me Off, Conservative Crazies...

From CNN's Poltical Ticker:

"WASHINGTON (CNN) – Another prominent Republican told the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday that the president’s spending plans are pushing the country to the brink of socialism.

Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, the only member of the senate to earn a perfect rating from the American Conservative Union, called President Obama “the world’s best salesman of socialism” on Friday in describing his prime time speech earlier this week.

DeMint, a fierce opponent of government expansion, told the CPAC crowd that conservatives might have to “take to the streets to stop America’s slide into socialism.”

His remarks comes a day after Mike Huckabee told the conference of conservative activists that “the Union of American Socialist Republics is being born” with the president’s stimulus package.

“Lenin and Stalin would love this stuff,” Huckabee said of the government bailing out financial institutions."


You couldn't have had a more business friendly environment than you had for the last eight years under President Doofus, and we all saw what happened right? Come on...what would you propose that the Government should do--let the free market roam unchecked, watch as all of the banks and financial institutions collapse, and we fall even farther into depression.

Your cries of "socialism" disgust me. Eight years of tax cuts for the wealthy and complete negligence at the governmental watchdog agencies nearly destroyed us. No one has a perfect plan for fixing the problem, but if you can't come up with something helpful other than the same old name calling, then shut the fuck up.

Every Year I Watch and I Don't Know Why...

Hugh... Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. You could maybe have saved it by pulling out the claws and taking Mickey Rourke on...but other than that. Bad. And don't try to sing with Beyonce again. Ever. Leave the woman be.

Slumdog Overload... Bad. Sure, everyone who has seen it has said it's excellent, and, it's not fair to comment probably until I check it out...yet, it sure made for a boring, suspenseless show.

Kate Winslet... Good award, probably more like a lifetime achievement award than for this particular movie...Bad dress. Come on, you're a hottie, (see, Little Children, Washing Machine).

The aforementioned Beyonce. Good. Not a fan of your normal pop stuff, but who can deny you have the pipes.

Mickey Rourke losing to Sean Penn for Best Actor. Bad. Sean Penn's acceptance speech. Good. "You commie homo loving sons of b's...." Come on, perfect.

Ben Stiller and Natalie Portman. Funny and Yummy.

Tina Fey and Steve Martin. Good. Let them host. Please, let them host. Spare us the bad, bad Jackman...

The five on five award presentations for the major awards. Kinda cool. I'd say keep it, but it would probably lose it's luster after awhile.

The fact that all the winners were basically known before the ceremony... Crappy. I need a couple of surprises to get me through the night. Although, that being said, I'm still glad Heath got his well deserved posthumous award.

Sorry Fan(s)!

I have been labor intensive at the place that pays for my food this week. I'll be back soon, probably bitching about the Oscars or some such.

Peace.

Hard to be Bipartisan when one Side is full of Dicks

Considering that Pres. Obama's plan for a stimulus package consisting of some combination of federal spending and middle class tax cuts has been around not far since the economic crisis broke in the campaign, it is more than a little disingenuous for Sen. Pullout to suddenly claim he can't be Commerce Secretary (after asking for the gig) because of fundamental disagreements with the President's policy.

Now, the stimulus plan is passing in the House with no Repub votes, and still only three are planning on voting for it in the Senate. This would be somewhat understandable if the Repubs would just OFFER A DIFFERENT PLAN but a little CSPAN will show you that all they are complaining about is a demand for upper class tax cuts--you know, the same failed economic policies of the last eight years.

By voting against the package, they get to preen if the economy continues to flounder--which it surely will in the short term--while offering nothing of substance to help their constituents who are suffering and losing jobs.

Dicks.

Stim City


It appears the highly touted proposal to cap executive compensation for companies accepting Fed. funds under the stimulus plan did not make it through the compromise session. Sigh.

I wouldn't count too heavily on Caterpillar to come through for you, Mr. President.

Apparently, schools are one of the hold ups. Really? We can't agree on schools?

Time presents 25 folks you can thank for this mess. Check it.

I'm getting closer...



It appears that the pending stimulus bill is going to pass or die along party lines, with an incredible no votes in the house and only three in the Senate from Republicans. I'm starting to wonder how much of that is political positioning, rather than true opposition to the contents of the bill--particularly when some Republican Governors, like the respected Gov. of Florida, Charlie Crist, is campaigning in favor of the package based on the economic hardships his state is going through.

The Pres. is finally out making some impassioned pleas for this bill--I don't pretend to be an economist or understand its ramifications--but I'm beginning to be sold on the idea that it is better to do something than not to try.
