"We Didn't Use the Nuclear Option!" (Until Now): democrat party Goes Nuclear to Allow Obama's Judicial & Executive Branch Nominees to be Confirmed in the Senate on a Simple Majority Vote That Ends Any Filibuster...

I can still recall arguing with a pack of leftists one night on the Facebook in the past few years.  I got my procedural gimmicks mixed up and mistakenly used the term "nuclear option" instead of "reconciliation" to describe the procedural maneuver that the democrat party abused to foist Obamacare into law on a mere 51 votes in the Senate in 2010...

You'd have thunk that I had just accused Bill Clinton of being a philanderer and a liar or something! "We didn't use the nuclear option!," screamed the leftists, as if mixing up the names of the two 51-vote procedural gimmicks was even worth more than a passing mention by them. But indeed, it allowed the leftists to ignore the substance of my argument (that Obamacare passed in highly slimeball fashion) and instead focus all attention on my reference to the wrong gimmick name...

Now democrat party and its Leftist Base Unanimously Cheer Use of the Nuclear Option

So how ironic (more like predictable) it is this week, a year or two later, that the democrat party (at Obama's behest and on a straight party-line vote) used that same dreaded "nuclear option" to pass what effectively amounted to an historic Senate rules change (normally requiring 67 votes) with only 51 votes. The rule change itself (technically called "establishing a precedent" rather than a strict change of the rules) permits the confirmation of presidential judicial and executive branch nominees by 51 votes instead of 60 (i.e., it now only takes 51 votes to end a filibuster on a nominee).

Never mind that ending filibusters on presidential nominations in the Senate (as best as I can tell) has required at least 60 votes for the past 225 years. Never mind that 60 votes served as a crucial check on the power of presidents of both parties to nominate radical ideologue judges (just wait until Obama gets going on that one now).

Never mind, either, that these same leftists would be out marching in the streets if the right-winger gop-ers ever attempted such a sleazy, "un-American," "naked power grab" (as VP Joe Biden and the above-pictured Senate majority leader Harry Reid referred to the nuclear option in 2005 when there was an "R" next to the president's name -- both Biden and Reid, like Obama, take an opposite position now than they did then). Hypocrites. As usual. But the ends do always justify the means, right leftists?

Meanwhile gop-ers Look as Hapless, Clueless and Powerless As Ever In Their Response

Meantime it appears the gop-ers didn't put up much of a fight on this one, almost content to let the democrat party have its way this time. The gop-ers' standard talking point has been to take smug satisfaction in the fact that the democrat party's move will allow gop-ers to more easily confirm their own presidential nominees, with 51 votes ending any filibuster, when the gop-ers win the presidency. But two huge problems with that line of thinking...

First, how incredibly presumptuous of the gop-ers to think that they will win the presidency anytime soon. It could happen, but it also may be awhile. For example, odds are (although certainly not assured) that we're looking at up to 8 years of Hillary Clinton starting 2017. Good grief, that's a whole lotta years of leftist presidents stacking the federal judiciary with leftist ideologues. Scary proposition. Which is now reality.

Second, and maybe just as significantly, these gop-ers don't even seem to be considering this fact:  If gop-ers win a presidential election at a point in time when the democrat party still holds a majority in the Senate, then the democrat party in the lame-duck period following the election could simply use the nuclear option again and, with 51 votes, change the rule back to the way it was (60 votes necessary to end a filibuster on a presidential nominee).

Yes, that would mean the democrat party having the unmitigated gall to use an extraordinary, hyper-partisan tactic, the nuclear option, (1) not only to change an historic rule when it benefits them politically (as they do now), but also (2) to simply change the rule back when the original rule benefits them politically. The stuff of banana republics, you might ask? Something that would never happen in this country? Well, I've got only one thing to say to that: Look at the people you're dealing with here.

Lost Opportunity: Obama Leaves Out "Under God" From His Out-of-Town Recording of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address on its 150th Anniversary -- But Why Stop There?

Why stop at a paltry two words? If you're gonna start omitting or changing the things you don't like in Lincoln's historic Address (Obama blames the omission on the "copy" that he was given to read -- right, just a coincidence!) -- then why not go to town and really inject some leftist 20 percenter wisdom into the old yarn? I'll even get Obama started with a rough working draft that maybe he can put to use next year:

"Four score and seven years ago, our so-called founding fathers, every single one of whom was a slaveholder, brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty for white English guys, and dedicated to the proposition that all white English men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil set of internal workplace violence incidents, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived without an abortion and so dedicated, can long endure.  We are met on a lousy battle-field of that violence -- I only wish we could have used drone strikes here instead of boots on the ground.

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field to the federal government, as not only a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live, but also as a nice spot for some new roads and bridges. It is all together fair and socially just that we should do this. After all, you couldn't build that.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate -- we cannot consecrate -- we cannot hallow -- this ground and future site of more infrastructure investment. The army corpse-men, living and dead, who ravaged each other here like animals, have consecrated it, almost as much as the federal government's incredible power to add to it.

The world will little note, nor remember what we say here nearly as long as they'll remember my Nobel Prize, but it can never forget what they did here and what the government will do here in the future.  It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that we still have to do in my final three years in office. I still have one campaign left in me.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great tasks remaining before us -- righting the sinking Obamacare ship and passing an omnibus immigration bill, which shall forever cement my legacy -- that we here highly resolve that these dead military guys shall not have died just so that we would allow a good crisis to go to waste -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of progress -- and that government, sweet government, of democrat party people, by the intellectual people, for all the dumb people out there, shall not perish from the earth, lest we get to the point where America really deserves that."

So give that one a try next time, Obama. If you get any pushback, just blame it on someone giving you the "Rager Copy" of the Address.

LOL: Literally! "Football Coach Fired After He Planned Party for 12-Year-Olds at HOOTERS, Then Refused to Change Venue, Insisting 'It's Not a Strip Club'"!

He's Corbett Middle School football coach Randy Burbach, and a part of me says this dude's a man after my own heart for taking his crew of 12-year-olds to the Jantzen Beach Hooters near Portland, Oregon (link below).  But the other part of me screams, What an Idiot!

If I had a 12-year-old son, I don't think I'd have any problem taking him to a Hooters.  It's just a bar-and-grill food joint (and pretty tasty at that).  So what if the broads there who serve you tend to have great racks and show off a fair amount of cleavage?  Is that so wrong?

But alas, many people out there don't quite see the world on the same terms that I do.  And if I'm lookin' to take a team of 12-year-old kids to get some eats at some local joint, then Hooters ain't it... 

You see, in this life, a man -- particularly one acting as a leader of young people -- needs to look a few clicks down the ol' road when it comes to his decision-making.  He needs to see and consider the obvious fact that many parents of 12-year-old boys are gonna be none too appreciative of plans that place the boys in front of a bunch of scantily-clad gazongas.

And guess what, Coacher -- that's their right.  They're the kids' parents, not you.  You (like me) might not have a problem with 12-year-olds at Hooters, but the fact that they, the parents, do have an issue with it should be given the ultimate respect.

Or put much more simply, what are ya thinkin', You Fool?!?  But many thanks to Coach Burbach for giving me a big laugh with that quoted headline that resulted from his ill-conceived decision.  In these rotten times, we need all the big laughs we can get.

Bewitched: An "American Horror Story" Solution to Obama's Current Obamacare Woes (Hint: It Involves Casting a Spell)...

You might call these some rather rough times for Obama. He's been caught in the repeated lie of "if you like your current plan, you can keep it." The Obamacare website continues to operate like a bad URL from 1995. And millions of millions of Americans have already lost their plans under Obama's signature legislation. What Obama needs now is a fix...

And I'm talking a real fix, not some measly one-year delay of some plan cancellations (as Obama proposed today). So I looked to the current season of "American Horror Story: Coven" for inspiration. The witch brood on the show has been known to bring humans back to life with their spells (see Frankenstein Kyle), so why not a good Obamacare spell to bring Obama's sinking signature regulatory scheme back to life?

So here goes: Say the 10 words and phrases set forth below, in order, ten times, and then toss in four parts of reciting them backwards. Then, watch all the bad public opinion and media scrutiny over Obamacare dissipate like so many current health care plans. Hell, in isolation, all of these words and phrases have always worked in the past. So let's put them together in one giant blast of leftist third grader-isms and hot air. Chant it with me quickly, but with conviction:

10.  Rodeo Clown

9.  Fair Share

8.  Millionaires and Billionaires

7.  Waiver

6.  Fox News

5.  Roads and Bridges

4.  Racists

3.  Bush

2.  The Video

1.  Lilly Ledbetter

[Note: "Beer Summit" may be noticeably absent from this list, but I didn't want to go all 2009 on everybody's ass.]

Leave Me Alone, I'm Only Sleeping: 14-Year-Old Lazy Bones in Georgia Gets Tossed in the Hoosegow for Sleeping In & Refusing to Get Up! (Well, and a Few Other Things...)

This 14-year-old in Athens, Georgia must be taking a cue from new NYC mayor Bill "I Ain't No Morning Person" de Blasio, because dude really likes his beauty sleep. To the tune of already being tardy to school 30 times this school year after sleeping in over and over again (link below). And we're only in November!

But finally recently, Mama had had enough! So Mama says to Sonny (she says, she says) (paraphrasing), "Boy get your ass out that bed or I'm gonna toss a bucket of water on ya!"

And don't say Mama wasn't warned: Sonny's reported response was to tell Mama that he was gonna "tear up" the joint if so much as one drop of water found its way on to his slothful carcass.

Apparently figurin' that this at least would be one way to get the lazy lad out of the sack, Mama reared back and tossed said water right on the boy! And that's when all hell broke loose...

Sure enough, Mama had succeeded in finally getting the boy up, but this Grumpy Gus immediately started acting as if he'd gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. For starters, Sonny allegedly clinched his wet fist and look a big swipe at a damn window! But that was just a warm-up...

Next Sonny allegedly took to tossing around various sundry "household items." This included a big vase, which Sonny trashed (says Mama). And Sonny just wouldn't give it a rest, allegedly capping off the episode by ripping down a wall mirror and bashing it to the ground!

Fortunately for Sonny, he may now be getting plenty of extra time for sleepin', as cops delivered him a wake-up call in the form of criminal charges ("as an unruly child") and possible detention in Juvie. I just want to be a fly on the wall when Sonny gets a load of that first 7:00 a.m. head count.

Good Grief! Big Bosomy French Broad Refuses to Surrender, Hits Back at Catholic School for Canning Her for "Playing a Bikini-Clad 'Cougar' in a French Rap Video"...

The linked story says 50-year-old Catholic high school assistant Veronique "Boom Boom" Bonazzola was given her walking papers after 20 years at the school (located in the south of France) because of her appearance in the wild music video for the song "Fountain of Youth" by rapper Novia. But Boom Boom promptly busted out a big employment lawsuit against the party poopers at the school...

The honker hijinks in the video included the 27-year-old Novia chasing the bikini-clad Boom Boom around and -- after apparently catching her -- then dancing "suggestively" with Boom Boom, getting his drink on with her, and "pouring champagne down her chest in a jacuzzi." Hardly the sort of thing that would get your average school board all riled up, no?

But Boom Boom was canned nevertheless once the school got wind of her little jacuzzi jugs romp. Worse yet, Boom Boom says she initially feared the school was "going to burn me at the stake out in the school yard." (Man, these French and their harsh indictments.)

Boom Boom says she filed her wrongful termination lawsuit to get a "victory against injustice" since the school never gave her the "slightest warning" that sashaying around half naked in a rap video might threaten her employment.

Point well taken, said the court, which has ruled in her favor based on the school "not making clear to [Boom Boom] how her acting career might affect her day job."

And indeed, the school could've easily averted all this with a simple provision in Boom Boom's contract giving her fair warning, such as "Grounds for termination shall include dancing in a bikini on camera during a jacuzzi party while having champagne disseminated all over your mostly exposed breasts." Lesson learned.

New Study: "People Look More at Women's Chests Than Their Faces." But I Don't Think I Can Agree with That...

Sure, the rack is the first place that any self-respectin' dude focuses on. But here's the thing: That always has to be a real quick glance, lest one wants his sitcom idea shot down by NBC. Moreover, any repeat glances have to be equally rapid and limited to sporadic, propitious moments.

Besides, a man cannot live on breasts alone. The biggest pair of cans in the world ain't gonna overcome a noodle that looks like Quasimodo. Take this example from FX's current season of "Sons of Anarchy":

You've got Walton Goggins' character, Venus Van Damme (pictured above). And leave aside the whole transexual thing for a moment and focus just on the upstairs. Mr. Damme has a hell of a rack, but as you then move north, you start to get a load of that face.  With that masculine mush easily cancelling out them melons, Mr. Damme quickly becomes as unhittable as a Greg Holland splitter.

So please don't tell me, New Study (link below), that I look more at the gazongas than the face when, in fact, (1) staring at them jugs for more than a second at a time is a bit frowned upon in modern society and (2) a rotten face means end of chase. Proof positive why you should never take one of these new studies at face value.

STOP THE PRESS: Obama a Liar?!? "Obama Administration Knew Millions Could Not Keep Their Health Insurance" if Obamacare Passed.NO WAY!

This laughable headline this week, BTW, comes from leftist news outlet NBC (i.e. MSNBC) News -- not exactly a bastion of right-winger propaganda.  I'm still trying to figure out NBC News' angle for being racist and going against Obama for once, but regardless, what does it matter?...

When Obama looked the American people in the eye repeatedly in 2009 and 2010 and spouted, "If you want to keep your current health care plan, and if you want to keep your doctor, you can!", it was an obvious lie at the time to anyone who had bothered to become even mildly informed about the radical leftist Obamacare legislation that the democrat party and Obama spent the better part of a year trying to foist into law during that period (even in the face of much more pressing economic recession issues the like of which the country hadn't seen in 80 years -- many of which still linger to this day).

This was their far leftist baby, after all, and by God, these leftists were gonna ram it through!  The ends always justify the means with these creatures, and so it was that the Obamacare monstrosity became "law," against the will of an American people who did not want it, through historically unprecedented and pathetic straight party-line votes, legislative bribery, and slimeball procedural gimmickry (it was " 'reconciliation,' NOT the 'nuclear option'!," scream group-thinking leftists to this day!).

Of course Obama was lying!  Obama ("I don't know nuttin', I just work here") couldn't care less about the truth, rather only what he can politically get away with at the moment and in advance of an election with his many media advocates and lackeys.  Obamacare was, of course, never about funding health care for the less fortunate who can't afford it.  It was always, of course, instead about foisting a huge leftist regulatory scheme on the health insurance industry aimed at ultimately arriving at a single payer system, i.e. a complete federal government takeover of that same industry by forcing its private side mostly or all out of business...

Middle class folks, already reeling from a never-ending economic malaise over several years (2008-2013), would (and now) of course have to give up their plans and/or start paying a whole hell of a lot more for their plans in order to pay for the massive new regulatory scheme.  They were just collateral damage, as the leftists see it.  To the leftist 20 percenters, it was all about a big leftist power grab -- push, push, push the size of the federal government and bureaucracy as huge as it can be, and take over all the health care!

You see, the means never mattered to the leftist 20 percenters, rather only the ends -- a rather medieval mentality that leads to pathological lying on the grandest of scales. I can actually recall days past when calling someone a liar was about as bad of a thing that one could call. These days, I doubt an individual like Obama and his leftist acolytes could care less. Just so long as they get what they want in the end.

Halloween Eve Inspires List of the Five Most Maniacal Moments So Far from Current Seasons of AMC & FX Shockfests "The Walking Dead" & "American Horror Story: Coven"...

These great moments in American television are culled from the fall episodes (current short-lived seasons) of "The Walking Dead" ("TWD") and "American Horror Story: Coven" ("AHS"), and so therefore -- Spoiler Alert!  In no particular order (except somewhat chronological): 

-AHS: Eat Your Heart Out, Django! As pictured above,19th Century slaveholder Kathy Bates is transplanted into modern times (don't ask), where she promptly starts letting the racist epithets fly at African-American witch Queenie. Bad move, as the non-witch Bates ultimately ends up as Queenie's "slave." But that one quickly goes awry (as one might imagine) when Queenie for some reason tries to seduce Bates' previous monstrous creation -- a half-bull, half-slave individual known as the Minotaur Man. Ouch.

-TWD: It's Raining Zombies, Hallelujah!  Daryl and others from the prison clan make a road trip to try to lift supplies from an abandoned superstore. Little do they know, however, that a crashed helicopter has weakened the structure's roof and a horde of zombies is up on that roof! On the bright side, the alcoholic Bob resists the temptation to get his drink on inside the store, but that poignant moment is ruined when the roof starts giving way and dozens of zombies fall from the sky to attack the humans. (Open question: How in the hell did all those zombies get up on the roof in the first place?!? They can't climb stuff! They're dead -- they're all messed up!)

-AHS: Innocent Bystander. Hottie witch Madison (before "The Supreme" Witch Jessica Lange whacks her out) is drugged and raped at a frat party, but takes her just revenge on the offending frat creeps by imposing her mental powers and causing their party bus to fly into the air and crash in a fiery mess. Unfortunately, however, innocent Kyle is also killed in the melee, leading to Madison's rather ill-conceived decision to create a Frankenstein Kyle from various hand-picked body parts from the bus crash dead (as pictured above; storyline continued below).

-TWD: Stuck in Traffic. As pictured above, it's a reunion of HBO's "The Wire," as Tyreese Cutty and D'Angelo Bob (with Michonne riding shotgun) hop into the back seat of Daryl's souped up rod for another road trip to go find antibiotics to cure the deadly flu afflicting the humans staying at the prison.  But when the foursome quickly encouters a zombie horde of 1000s out on the road, Daryl is forced to put the car in full reverse and quickly gets the back wheels stuck on a pile of zombie corpses (spewing zombie parts everywhere as Daryl spins his wheels in futility). (Another open question: After Michonne blamed the coarse-looking Daryl for giving her "flees" earlier in the episode, why in the hell was she riding up front with him anyway?)

-AHS: The Revenge of Frankenstein. So Madison creates Frankenstein Kyle; then witch Zoe props up Frankenstein Kyle head-first against Mama's front door, rings the doorbell, and runs away (that was hilarious!). Mama (who thought Kyle be dead) is SO happy to see her boy, although he no longer speaks in coherent words and doesn't appear to be quite the same person as he once was. The happy homecoming really goes sour when Mama promptly resumes her prior molestation of Kyle (who, as a result of Madison's tinkering, now has a porn-star size Anthony's Weiner), but Kyle's unable to reach climax (as Mama laments). Pervert Mom does get her comeuppance, however, when sonny soon thereafter caves her head in.

Memorable moments like these, and much more I would assume, are still to come as AHS and TWD continue this week on Wednesday and Sunday nights. Hell, we're only three episodes in!

The Old Man From Hell: Hubby Convicted for Giving His Old Lady a Good Beating with a Spoon, and a Whole Lotta More, When She Wouldn't Call Him "Sir" in Front of the Kids!

He's 45-year-old Dan "Dirty" Kirby Kopp (pictured above) of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, and a jury there has found him guilty of lowering the boom on his wife just about any time she refused to refer to him as "Sir" in front of the little shits (links below). And indeed, I'd think a broad would rather be married to a deranged wildebeest than THIS:

-Dirty Kirby reportedly found the failure to call him "Sir" at all times to be highly "disrespectful towards him in front of the children" and "disobedient to him for undermining his parenting."

-The apparently typical beatdown that would ensue involved Dirty Kirby whipping out a big wooden spoon and laying the wood to the old lady something awful.

-On another occasion, Dirty Kirby was reportedly caught on tape threatening to come after his wife with a "wooden paddle."

-And just to mix things up, Dirty Kirby's also been known to "regularly hold his wife down over his knee and spank her so she would 'learn a lesson.'"

-He even once threatened to go all Exorcist and shit on the old lady's ass, saying he was of a mind to "'cast the demons out of her' next time she disobeyed him."

One of Dirty Kirby's defenses, undoubtedly, was that he did give the old lady every opportunity to comply with his demented dictates: As caught on video, Dirty Kirby is seen "showing her the spoon and giving her a 'count of three to comply' with his demand of addressing him with a 'yes, Sir.'"

But the jury wasn't buying, and now this Silverware-swingin' psycho may need to trade in his spoon for a shank, as he faces up to two years in the hoosegow for stalking and harassing his old lady.

I just hope for his sake that Dirty Kirby's not planning on demanding the ol' "yes Sir" down in the can. See how that one works out for ya, creep.

Check Them Glasses: Woody Allen Calls New Claim "Fictitious" That His Son Ronan Was "Possibly" Fathered by Frank Sinatra When Ol' Blue Eyes Banged Allen's Ex-Old Lady Mia Farrow in the '80s. RIGHT!

Take a look at creepy old Woody, and then just take a gander at Ronan Farrow and the late Sinatra, as pictured above. There's no "possibly" or anything "fictitious" about it, and no DNA testing is needed...

Sinatra is Ronan's old man (allegedly)! Undeniable. Indisputable. Irrevocable. (Allegedly). Or as Francis might say, forget-a-bout-it. Ronan's even got those same blue eyes for cryin' out loud!

For the record, Sinatra would've been 71 years old in March 1987 when he reportedly hopped on top of a then 42-year-old Mia Farrow and got down to the business of rolling out Ronan (as Mia Farrow now alleges).

I can even hear the old codger Sinatra breaking into song now: "When I was 71, it was a very good year...."

Men on the Moon: Debt Opponents Exposed for Exaggerating the $16.7 Trillion National Debt, Claiming the Debt Stacked in $1 Bills Could Stretch to the Moon Four Times!

However, and thankfully, the objective media watchdogs at Media Maddens.org were quick this week to debunk the debt worriers' sensational claim (link to claim below)...

It seems that in order for the $16.7 trillion national debt, stacked in $1 bills, to reach the moon four full times, the bills would have to be a bunch of crumply, old used ones -- i.e. bills of a type that simply don't stack up so nice.

If, instead, freshly printed currency would be used, then the dollar stack would be lucky to reach the moon three times, says Media Maddens.

And why wouldn't newly printed currency be used for such an endeavor? After all, that's what financial institutions keep on hand -- they're plentiful. In contrast, old Raggedy Ann bills are what float around in the hands of the public, making it virtually impossible to round up enough of those old bills to even accomplish a four-moon stack.

So yet again, we have these draconian, Nazi proponents of balanced budgets and reduced debt at the forefront of exaggeration, spin, and impossible demonstrative anecdotes. Can't we just sick the IRS on their ass? Oh wait...

My Perfect Prediction that Hillary's 2016 Running Mate Will Be Current Newark Mayor Cory Booker Just Keeps Gaining Momentum...

I'll spare everyone a regurgitation of the reasons why Cory Booker will be Hillary's vice president running mate in 2016 (link to my original post below), but suffice it to say that things remain very much on track this week.  First, Booker stands poised to easily capture the open U.S. Senate seat in New Jersey in today's special election (second link below) over deranged right-winger tea party candidate (but mick brethren) Steve "Doyle" Lonegan (as I said would happen weeks ago)...

And on the other side of the leftist coin, Hillary yesterday reaffirmed the certainty that she will run in 2016 by taking a rather snide (and grade school style) political swipe at her likely primary democrat party opponent in 2016 -- none other than the gaffe-prone, intellectually challenged current VP, Diamond Joe Biden (third link below)...

To paraphrase, Hillary reportedly said of Biden in a (not so) secretive fundraising speech this week that "I backed the Osama Bin Laden raid, and he didn't." You see, high profile political slimeballs like Hillary never say anything derogatory about fellow members of their own rotten party except when (1) they are in full primary campaign or ass-covering mode (here the former) and (2) they have every intention of those words going public (as Her Highness did here).

Make "Book" on it:  Hillary's runnin', and Booker will run with her.  (Caveat repeated: I do reserve the right to continue to let my viewpoint on this issue "evolve," since these political scumjobs are always given carte blanche to do the same by our adorable American "mainstream" media -- and what's good for the sleazebuckets is good for the Rager, after all).

With About a Year Until the 2014 Midterms, I Thought It Worth a Few Moments to Reflect on a Most Beautiful Word in the American Lexicon:G-R-I-D-L-O-C-K!

I've said it before (and even despite my disagreement with the current government shutdown):  Gridlock is good. Gridlock is your friend. Gridlock's the warrior standing between your freedom and a legion of loony leftists and deranged right-wingers who would only seek to usurp it if they had absolute federal power to do so. Freedom's also a beautiful word, but these days you can't have freedom for long without a healthy dose of gridlock to protect it.

The leftist 20 percenters are prepared to focus all energy on grounding out gridlock once and for all in 2014 (by taking back the U.S. House). Obama's minions have as much as said that this is as important to Obama's "legacy" as anything that's come before -- gotta give His Majesty a big lefty cudgel for those last 2 years, after all.

But my money's on my friend gridlock once again saving the day come next year. So inspired by my friend, was I in the past few weeks, that I actually broke into song, penning the following short tune that I have entitled, "Sweet Gridlock":

Gridlock, sweet Gridlock.
The alternative to you is hemlock.
I'm thinkin' all the ways that you rock.
Our best friend, Gridlock.

Shellshocked, I was shellshocked.
Back in '09 with all the left rot.
I said boot them to the end of the block.
So we could get us some Gridlock.

Restock, let's restock.
That's the cry for next year from the left crocks.
I think they wanna whack out my Gridlock.
Like a poke to the eye with a wind sock.

So Gridlock, save Gridlock.
Don't send him on his way out the air lock.
I don't wanna take him on a space walk.
We need him here, sweet Gridlock.

That's My Girl: "Shocking Moment Girl Aged Seven Steals Mobile Phone Out of a Woman's Handbag Under the Approving Eye of Mother"!

But on the positive side of this demented story (links below), Mama does appear to have a great rack.

Devoted Leftist Big Apple Mayoral Candidate Bill de Blasio Complains About Being Called a "Leftist": Maybe Next He'll Object to Being Referred to as "Bill"?

The New York City mayoral race would have been so much more entertaining if Anthony's Weiner hadn't effectively pulled out of the race (or at least deflated all chances of winning) as a result of another sexting/donging scandal. What the democrat party has been left with is this ardent leftist kook named Bill de Blasio. Nothing says fun n' games, after all, quite like a hardened leftist ideologue and wannabe "revolutionary"!

Now I'm not quite sure what got into the New York Times over the past few weeks, but the normally reliable left-wing advocacy rag reported that de Blasio has a past history of supporting Latin American leftist "revolutionaries" as well as the concept of "democratic socialism." The Times even had the gall to refer to de Blasio as a "leftist." (Talk about Pot calling Kettle black!)

De Blasio has been fumin' over the Times story, calling it out for a lack of "balance" and for calling him a "leftist" (link below). It's the latter objection that I can't even begin to grasp...

As a preface, I don't call these politicians on either side by the names they've chosen for themselves. They don't deserve any such level of respect. As such, you won't see the "l" or the "p" or the "c" word used in this space. I also distort the two parties' names for the same reason. But I also don't try to be downright derogatory or crass in the terms that I do use...

For example, the people comprising the base of the democrat party (about 20% of the American population) are leftists. There's nothing particularly insulting about that term. It simply reflects fact.

For a guy like de Blasio to deny being a leftist is like referring to Obama as a "moderate" (as many leftists like to do) or like (perhaps slightly less preposterously) claiming that the world is actually flat.

I've often told these leftists that just because they may say something ridiculous 1000 times over doesn't make it any more true, no more than they can piss on my back and convince me the drought's ended.  De Blasio's a leftist. Embrace it, Bill.  That is, if I'm getting the "Bill" part right.

What $17 Trillion National Debt? Federal Government Spends $100,000 to Build a Rudimentary Shithouse at a Remote National Park in Alaska!

The not-so-plush privy (model version pictured at the top) is to be erected at Alaska's Swede Park Trail Head (links below) -- a location described as "remote" by the Federal Bureau of Land Management (the BLM). So it naturally follows, of course, that the BLM is going all out to make sure that the remote trail has only the best of amenities to offer any person who might inadvertently show up there.

This includes "the facilities," apparently, since the BLM recently contracted for $100,000 to have an outhouse constructed at the trail head. And an outhouse is exactly what it is -- and not even a two-seater!

So how the heck can an apparently modest shitter with no running water cost 100 Grand, you might ask? Well, try the $50,000 price tag for the "waterless toilet" to be installed inside the crapper. I might ask if the BLM couldn't have instead just bought a toilet seat down at Home Depot for 40 or 50 bucks, but I don't want to be obtuse over here.

Still, though, that leaves another $50K for the rest of the shithouse, and Lord only knows what hole that money's being shit down by the BLM.  Probably something in the order of a $20K door (complete with a $5K polished knob), a $10K TP dispenser, and $15K to cover the ventilation shaft and that little doggie door on the side. (I just hope they left something in the budget for cutting out that little moon shape on the door -- a necessity for any self-respectin' shithouse).

But alas, the $100K outhouse contract won't be covering everything. The second linked story says that the "pumping out and maintenance of the facility," for example, "are addressed in a separate contract." But have no fear. I bet a half a mill can cover that part.

Two Peas: W Bush Sincerely Advises Obama, "Keep Golfing." And AGAIN I Find Myself Agreeing with a Slimy Partisan (In a Disturbing Recent Trend)!

Says W Bush this past week (link below):  "I see [Obama] criticized for playing golf. I think he ought to play golf . . . To be able to get outside and play golf with some of your pals is important for the president."

And you won't hear me protesting that advice from The Idiot, either. I've never understood all the right-winger gop-ers complaining about the many, many hours that Obama spends on the golf course (including Obama's golfing outing last weekend as the government shutdown crisis loomed). What do ya want, right-wingers? For Obama to instead stay home and work on conjuring up some more leftist 20 percenter policy for the nation? Maybe another Obamacare?  Please.

You golf, Barry. To your little leftist heart's content. You'll always have my blessing. Hell, you oughta golf even more often! Leave aside the endless outside-DC speeches complaining about DC. No one's listening anymore, anyway, man. So hit them links! I can't conceive of a better place for you.
