Fuck Capturing that Mess; Make it STOP!

If I'm boiling mad over that clusterfuck in the Gulf and heading east, I can imagine how pissed the residents are.

What gets me the most is that BP and their many attempts (both tried and discussed) so far have been to try to SAVE as much oil as possible. And I'll just bet that they haven't even considered any options to make it stop.

Survivors claim that they were kept in seclusion and coerced into signing waivers.

In addition the reason the US has been in conflict with Iran for all these years is for no other reason than the former actions of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which renamed itself British Petroleum after being kicked out of Iran by the democratically elected Mohommad Mossadegh. The US wanted in on the oil game so they removed Mossadegh through a coup and placed the Shah in power. The Iranian Revolution came as a response to this from former Mossadegh supporters using the mosque system and impoverished farmers to achieve revolution. An excellent book on the subject.

a girl can fantasize

In the past week, I’ve twice been close enough to Dick Cheney to kick him in the shins.

I didn’t. It’s probably a federal crime of some sort. But a girl can fantasize. I did, however, assume the Stay-away-from-me-you’ve-got-cooties stance that Jimmy Carter used when posing with Bill Clinton at the presidents’ powwow in the Oval.

The first time was Tuesday, when Cheney left the ceremony where he gave the oath of office to senators. The senators seemed thrilled, especially Joe Biden, who was getting sworn in for just two weeks and was excitedly showing off a family Bible the size of a Buick. But I thought it gave the ceremony a satirical edge to have the lawless Vice presiding over lawmakers swearing to support and defend the Constitution that he soiled and defiled — right in the heart of the legislative branch he worked to diminish.

The second time I crossed paths was Thursday night, at a glitzy party at Cafe Milano for Brit Hume, stepping down as a Fox anchor. It required extreme defensive maneuvers — much zigging and zagging — to avoid Cheney, Wolfie and Rummy, all three holding court and blissfully unrepentant about the chaos they’ve unleashed on the world.

“My conscience is clear,” Rummy volunteered to Bob Woodward...

...From Gaza to the unemployment figures to the $10.6 trillion debt, things keep spiraling while W. keeps fiddling. Just as when he was in the National Guard and didn’t bother to show up, now, as the scabrous consequences of his missteps shake the economy and the world, he doesn’t bother to show up. He’s checked out — spending his time on more than a dozen exit interviews that do nothing to change his image as a president who was over his head and under Cheney’s spell.

Carter County man surprises wife, names baby Sarah McCain Palin

from the page:
People can be passionate about their politics. Consider, for example, the name given to a baby girl born last weekend to a Carter County (Tennessee) couple: Sarah McCain Palin Ciptak.

While that’s the name father Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put on documents for his baby girl’s birth certificate, it isn’t the name he and his wife originally agreed on. And it isn’t the name his wife, Layla, thought the baby was given.

When you're a progressive and you're from the south amongst the many Redneckersons, it's a lifetime embarrassment of "riches" like this you have to try and overcome.

I'm giving a Dickhead Award to Ben Stein this week.

Summary: On Glenn Beck, Ben Stein, while discussing Sen. Barack Obama's plan to deliver his speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination at Denver's Invesco Field, stated that he did not "like the idea of Senator Obama giving his acceptance speech in front of 75,000 wildly cheering people." Stein further stated:

"Seventy-five-thousand people at an outdoor sports palace, well, that's something the Fuehrer would have done."

Each television station gives a platform to a right wing stooge and Glenn Beck is CNN's token idiot.

January 3, 2003

Haven't given out my "Dickhead Award" in quite some time. The award is presented to someone in the news who's done something so radically stupid that you want to say, "What a dickhead". The honor goes to the Tennessee officers who shot and killed this family's dog while they were mistakenly stopped as suspects in a felony. The officers pulled him over and the passengers were ordered out of the car and handcuffed. Then they drew their guns on this family returning from a family visit. The dogs travelling with them also jumped out, as the family pleaded to let them close their car doors, and one officer shot the family pet's head right off in front of them all. Said the daughter, "I had never seen my father or brother cry until that day." The family was able to carry home the remains of "Patton" where they buried him in their backyard. This family lives in the next county over from me. CNN is also airing this story.

I think it's about time to bestow another "Dickhead Award" on a deserving soul. Texas Court Acts to Clear 38, Almost All Black, in Drug Case in Tulia, Texas. Tom Coleman was the lone police officer who's sole word sent 38 mostly black citizens to jail for a series of drug arrests that tore this town apart. Most have been jailed the past 3 or 4 years. Conceding that they had made a catastrophic mistake in relying solely on the uncorroborated testimony of an undercover officer, Texas is in the process of overturning those convictions. Swisher County is to pay $250,000 for immunity. They probably better dig a little deeper. Mr Coleman, I give to you my "Dickhead Award" for being one. Now, how are we going to let YOU make amends?

It's way past time to give out the Dickhead Award and I decided on Dick Cheney for his pure detached insensitivity.

While tens of thousands of Hurricane survivors were left homeless and hungry (that is, if they were lucky enough to not be dead), Vice President Dick Cheney decided it was a great time to go mansion shopping. You heard me right: mansion shopping. These assholes aren't even trying to look like they care anymore. According to the Washington Post, Dick Cheney was checking out real estate in St. Michaels, a tiny resort town on the Maryland's Eastern Shore. Apparently "Cheney's house," which is listed at $2.9 million, "backs up in spectacular fashion to an inlet of the Chesapeake Bay." How charming. But I suppose it is possible that I am being too hard on the Vice President. Given the timing of the purchase, I think there may be something else going on here. Maybe Vice President and Mrs. Cheney were so distressed by the stories of displaced families from New Orleans that they are buying the property in order to use it for emergency housing for hurricane survivors. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Then after the guy in New Orleans who yelled Go Fuck Yourself, Cheney, got handcuffed by his Cheney's 'aids', he just seemed like the right choice for latest my Dickhead Award. via

And if he doesn't like it, he can go Cheney himself.

Congratulations, Dickheads - To the responsible parties that threw the baby out of the car window, you win my Dickhead Award. Although my automatic response was to get the parents side of it also, I really can't imagine a good reason for baby tossing. Unless it was on fire and you were throwing it... Nope. No good reason for baby tossing. more...

AOL. Your Family-Friendly ISP?

I've used computers since the eighties [big-ass IBM's] and I've been on the internet since 1996 and have had many different ISP's. And as my family became more interested in the internet, I reluctantly switched to AOL in 1999. AOL could successfully run a promo announcing "My First Internet" featuring little Susie slapping the keyboard in her bassinet. Still every time my husband, [one of the most intelligent people I know] checks his email, I'm beckoned several times to bail him out of a jam.



Dickhead Award

Is there a bigger dickhead on tv than Fox News' Bill ["whiter than the first lifeboat off the Titanic" ] O'Reilly? This egomaniac's latest bogus claim on his 'No Spin Zone' O'Reilly Factor Show, is that since George Clooney dissed him on Letterman one night, it caused his movie, Oceans Eleven, to flop. People weren't exactly blazing a path to the theaters, but O'Reilly's fans boycotting the movie didn't cause it to flop. So I'm giving my "Dickhead Award" to you, Bill. It's usually reserved for a particular offense, but your collective offenses earn you this honor and your Warhol wristwatch is sitting on 14:59. And Bill, let me have the last word: Take your leave, fade out, and one day when you're 80, alone in a caftan with a lap full of catnip saying, 'Here kitty, kitty, kitty', I'll be watching and saying, "Spin This".
