Andrew Dice Clay for Minister of Culture?

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Hey, if you want a compendium of great Hillaryisms, visit Gateway Pundit. The extent of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s potty-mouth and her abuse of the poor fools who work closely with her will amaze and astound you. Or maybe not! Some of her tantrums even make me feel bad for Slick Willie, who apparently took a few in the kisser at the behest of his darling, pissed-off wife.

Rosie’s Not An Idiot

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

Rosie O’Donnell, a formerly funny comedian, who a while ago took over for Meredith Viera on ABC’s daytime soft-news/interview show The View, has been using that forum to spout off her irrational anti-Administration diatribe. Rosie’s mind is obviously defective, but her big mouth has been effective in overshadowing her softer-spoken colleagues on the show, particularly Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who appears to possess a superior intellect. (She’s also totally hot, or maybe it’s just that she’s improbably blonde and smart—whatever.) Disney/ABC should have canned Rosie long ago for her wacko crap, but apparently, they don’t mind a little notariety. Well, maybe they will, now that Rosie has indicted them as one of the four “big corporations that control the media in this country”—this, when she told her audience to go outside the U.S. for news about our country.

Handicapping the Candidates

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

OK, so I was bored and decided to create the odds for the 2008 presidential race. Yeah, I know, not all of these people have declared their candicacy and there’s the omnipresent possibility that a Draft Howard Stern movement will gain momentum. On the other hand, I thought I would throw these people’s names up in the air and see where they landed. Consider this the opinion of one Turkey, and feel free to disagree with any of my implications.



Democrats
Odds Candidate Comments
4-5 Hillary Clinton Wins easily unless pulls up lame (no pun intended).

Time Warp

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Let the government handle something and it really gets screwed up! This past weekend, we went on Daylight Savings Time (Summer Time to you English blokes), because Congress, in its infinitely self-perceived wisdom, so decried. It is normally bad enough when the time change occurs on schedule, so it follows that when an act of Congress moves it up by a month, complete chaos will ensue. Accordingly, I spent Sunday completely screwed up.

“Daylight saving just brings a smile to everybody’s faces.” —Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., on March 8.
