From the past day's headlines: Here's the truth, with all fiction revealed:1. Jon "Spiderman" Huntsman: To debunk the biggest myth yet his week, this new GOP presidential candidate is not exciting or interesting at all to many Independents, including me. I'm interested in (but do not anticipate seeing) a candidate of conviction, character, courage and action devoted to reigning in our stifling $14.3 trillion national debt. I'm not interested in some mush-mouth "moderate" who promises to play nice with Obama -- a truly awful president who couldn't care less about the national debt and the impending economic ruin of the formerly American system.
["Moderates," BTW, are little different from partisan ideologues: They reach viewpoints for the sake of those viewpoints aligning in a particular place in the political spectrum on a nice little totem pole. There is nothing "Independent" about a self-described "moderate". A truly independent-minded person lets his particular views come out wherever they may and doesn't give a rat's ass where that happens to be or who gives a damn about it.]I'm also not too interested in candidates who once referred to the aforementioned Obama (one of the two worst and most destructive presidents of my lifetime, along with W Bush) as "remarkable." If this Huntsman doesn't have an adjective vocabulary behind that of Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel (who spouts a "remarkable" every other sentence) and (moreover) actually thinks anything Obama's ever done is "remarkable," then he's dumber than the combined IQ's of Joe Biden and W Bush, which is about 27 on a good day.
Similarly, I'm not interested in hearing "civility" preachings from a candidate (Huntsman) who would be going against one of the most uncivil presidents whom I can recall in terms of his rhetoric -- Obama. In 2012, Obama and his fellow leftists 20 percenters are going to go after whomever the republic partisan nominee is (whether Huntsman or otherwise) with every dirty trick, every ounce of rotten, lying and disingenuous rhetoric, and every example of non-civil behavior imaginable.
Why in the hell would anyone ever want to be "civil" to those people (yes, I said those people)? Take the bastards on directly, lest you want to lose. And Huntsman has loser (not to mention DC establishment) written all over him. Maybe that's why the left-slanted "mainstream" media (apparently smelling another John McCain) seem so captivated by Huntsman. Just don't count this Independent among them.

2. Jackass Ebert: Ebert's tweet that "friends don't let jackasses drink and drive" was funny, even if you think it was in bad taste or "too soon." The movie critic made the Tweet following "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn's fatal (and reportedly drunken) car accident -- before which Dunn had tweeted out a photo of him and his friends drinking in a bar.

Simona Halep: Sometimes downsizing your breasts can actually be a good thing (even if it is often inadvisable, in my opinion). Just ask 19-year-old Romanian tennis player Simona Halep, whose effectiveness on the court seems to have improved after she scaled back her rack.

Gladiators: There may be no rules in a knife fight, but there were referees in ancient gladiatorial fights to the death -- even if such Hollywood films and TV series as Gladiator and Spartacus: Blood and Sand don't show any refs.
A newly deciphered gravestone from a Roman gladiator blames a ref's decision for the gladiator's death in "the Arena" -- likely making it the first time in recorded history that a sports loser whined about the refs. "You Cannot Be Serious!," proclaims Britain's Daily Mail. (And watch out behind ya, Boys, because Theokoles rises!)

Obama: It's a complete myth that I disagree with leftist 20 percenter Obama 100% of the time; rather, it's only about 99% of the time. Case in point: Obama is to announce today his plan to withdraw 10,000 "surge" troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2011 and 33,000 troops by the end of 2012. I couldn't be more supportive.
However, while this makes for good popular rhetoric for Obama, I'll actually believe it's anything other than mere lip service when I actually see all those troops come home. I ain't holdin' my breath over here. You see, Obama spouts all kinds of lofty rhetoric and rarely backs any of it up (although, that's most typically a good thing, truth be told).

A woman in New York says she was just "holding it for the cops" after the license plate "fell off" the police car, but the cops ain't buying that story. Woman's charged with possession of stolen property and larceny.

Minor Milk Run: It's actually not cool to send your 5-year-old on a mile-long walk to get milk at the local 7-Eleven and then pass out before the tike can even get home with the goods. Cops in Charleston, West Virginia, busted Mama's ass for child neglect.

"Amish Pervert": Contrary to what may be popular belief, if you try to have sex with a 12-year-old girl, it's actually not a defense to claim you thought the girl was 13. And it really doesn't matter (either) if you happen to be Amish, or that you drove your horse-drawn buggy so that you could meet the girl and get it on inside said buggy (allegedly).

The Number Inside My Head Between 1 and 10: Someone guessed 6 over the past day. WRONG! It's actually 9. Turn that six upside down. (And turn that smile into an uncivil sneer -- Rager says you'll feel much better as a result in this day and age -- Jon Huntsman notwithstanding).
