Top Three Things That Annoyed Me Today, In No Particular Order And For No Particular Reason

I - Come on, seat Roland Burris already, it is after all going to happen anyway and probably rightly so but I'm sick of listening to him politically masturbating his own ego proclaiming himself the Illinois junior senator, his wet dream job apparently. Fine, point made, he should shut up now and the media should shut up about it too, undoubtedly he's only a placeholder anyway for another year or so. Jeez, make everybody happy and get this over with finally, move along. Blagojevich, criminal brilliance there with that appointment I must give him credit for, despite his whole weird hair thing which does still raise some concern about his overall mental wellness.

II - Really? After ten years of your kid gone missing you decide maybe the time is right now that you might call that in to the authorities, since that eleven-year-old boy disappeared missing person is now of age at twenty-one the time is right to worry finally? Well, he did used to have a tendency to run away as a kid, out of habit, but never for quite so long as a decade, maybe starting just now to be a bit concerned. And they even justify the waiting for going public, not having wanted to over-react or anything. Little wonder the boy's inclination to get out of the house since forever as a moppet, but either the CSI will eventually soon uncover a shallow trailer park grave with a child's remains inside it or if not, I certainly wish godspeed to the man who finally got away, Adam Herrman.

III - Gap-toothed Condi Rice totally gung-ho now behind the ceasing of fire thing betwixt Israel and Palestine over that whole mess of the Mideast tussle, a plan offered up by France and Egypt by the way, who really cared enough to actually step up to the plate and put out some sort of maybe option for consideration. We, on the other hand, with Condi at bat not wanting to piss off really our bestest of like-minded Israeli admin by directly pointing out their example of mostest bad behavior (rest of the fingers might end up pointing back west, that kettle pot thing we try to avoid being so obvious about) wiser to just slink into the pulpit after the fact, alongside some other nations with enough balls trying to stop the craziness there.

  1. LOL! I loved this post. Your wit always entertains me. Now I think Blago knew how this would look, which is why he picked Burris. The Democrats shutting the door in the only African American Senators face. They even made the poor guy stand out in the rain.

    Condi, is a big failure !

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
