Completely Inappropriate Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Kiddos. Eat too much, drink too much, and love too much before the government decides we are not allowed to celebrate it anymore.
The Progressive Elite
Probably the most accurate description of these useful idiots I have read.
Pajama Boy is the bookend to vero possumus, the faux-Greek columns, the Obama rainbow logo, cooling the planet and lowering the seas, hope and change, Forward!, “Yes, we can!”, the Nate Silver infatuation, Barbara Walters’ “messiah,” David Brooks’ crease, Chris Matthews’ tingle, and the army of Silicon techies who can mobilize for Obama but not for Obamacare. These are the elites without identities who feed on the latest fad. They are the upper-crust versions of those who once mobbed stores to buy the last Cabbage Patch Kids doll, or had to have a pet rock on their dresser. Obama, after all, was the lava lamp and Chia Pet of the young urban progressive.
A Nobel Prize and a half a billion dollars for guru Al Gore; and dumping Current TV on a fossil-fuelled, anti-Semitic authoritarian Middle Eastern regime to fund more good work of our green Elmer Gantry. Amnesty for illegal aliens, but private academies for liberal kids far from the ensuing chaos of the public schools. Pajama Boys are fiercely liberal so that they can fiercely avoid the people they so champion and are so afraid to live among.
Obama Didn’t Just Lie About Obamacare
With the media becoming disillusioned with this administration, one of these days somebody is going to come forward with documents proving that not only is Obama not trustworthy, but his election to the office of President of The United States is fraudulent also. That day can’t come soon enough.
Double Down
I wasn’t going to jump in this pool, but after all the vitriol and flat out hate over a mans convictions I need to let you know how I stand.
Gay, be gay. Then shut the fuck up. You can enjoy whatever lifestyle you want, as every American has the right to do, but stop shoving your beliefs down regular Americans throats.
I stand with Phil!!

December 19 : 1998: President Clinton impeached
After nearly 14 hours of debate, the House of Representatives approves two articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, charging him with lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice.
Takes one to know one I guess.
The only thing dumber than putting this asshat on a pedestal, would be to elect his wife to the same position.

The Grocery Line
I have a family Christmas gathering tonight and was placed in charge of bringing plates and cups. No big deal, I assumed it would only take a few minutes to get in and out of the grocery store. You know what they say about assumptions.
I don’t know why but I always seem to pick the wrong lines. There were only two lines.
In one line, the express lane, was a gal we will call Coupon Lady.
Coupon Lady had way to many items for the express lane and way to many coupons and questions. The other line had only one lady with a shit load of groceries, we will call her Rosarita. After watching Coupon Lady and the three or four irritated people stacked behind her, I chose Rosaritas line and her two carts chock full of groceries.
As Rosarita unloaded one of her carts onto the check out counter I kept an eye on Coupon Lady to see if my choice of lines was the correct maneuver. Coupon Lady was still in in front of the checker scrolling through her receipt making sure the evil young checker had not screwed her out of the coupon deal of the century, Rosarita was flying along, halfway through the second cart it was looking as though my decision to bypass Coupon Lady and the visibly upset line of customers behind her was a wise move indeed.
Then it happened, Rosarita does not speak english and wants to pay with an EBT card, my young check out gal was unable to understand that Rosarita wants to use all of the money on the EBT card and whatever is left she will pay in cash, I figured that out after a store interpreter showed up after about a five minute wait to get Rosarita and her issues worked out. Apparently Rosaritas food stamp card belongs to her daughter, the same daughter who forgot to give her the pin number, after two phone calls to the daughter the pin number was retrieved and Rosarita was no longer hampering my escape from the longest check out line I have ever been in. Coupon Lady and her followers were long gone, a new line of people who were unfamiliar were skipping on through the express lane. I was irritated…and hungry.
I left the parking lot of the grocery store and headed for Subway Sandwich, that should be a quick in and out and at this time of day usually nobody is there. The parking lot had a few cars but not bad, I pulled into a stall at about the same time a small SUV pulled in. The doors to the SUV flew open and a herd of small children ran to the door of the Subway, the driver stepped out and headed for the door trying to catch up to her brood that had already infiltrated Subway. We will call her Maria.
I couldn’t go in, I jumped back in my truck and left Subway vowing that next time, the wife will be buying the plates and cups.
Randomness
It May Be Time
Republican leaders and several hard-right groups are displaying the classic signs of a political divorce, including bitter name-calling and reprisals against one another. The recent eagerness of House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to lash out at groups that have given them fits has unshackled others in the Republican ranks to publicly question the motivation of organizations like the Senate Conservatives Fund, Heritage Action, Madison Project and Club for Growth.Such organizations disparage Republicans they accuse of following the path of least resistance in Washington and vow to replace them in primaries with conservative purists.
This will make things interesting leading into 2016…and will probably determine whether the Republican Party survives or just gets assimilated into a Democrat-Lite organization. If that is the case, it may be time for a third party because the current “go along to get along” bunch ain’t gettin it.
You may ask why we should be concerned? Here are a few items that Washington spends money on and the above mentioned backers of this budget apparently don’t see a problem. Read the entire .pdf here.
UNCLE SAM LOOKING FOR ROMANCE ON THE WEB – $914,000
The Popular Romance Project has received nearly $1 million in federal funds from the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH) since 2010, “Wastebook 2013” reported.
The purpose of the program is to “explore the fascinating, often contradictory origins and influences of popular romance as told in novels, films, comics, advice books, songs, and internet fan fiction, taking a global perspective—while looking back across time as far as the ancient Greeks.”
A MEGA-BLIMP THAT DOESN’T WORK — $297 MILLION
The U.S. Army spent nearly four years and $300 million developing a mega-blimp that it eventually scraped. The blimp was designed to be the size of a football field and would be used to perform surveillance duties in Afghanistan.
But in 2013, the Army decided it had enough of the blimp .
“(T)he Army closed the blimp’s eye forever when it brought the project to a halt after spending nearly $300 million,” Coburn’s report reads. “The Army sold the airship back to the contractor that was building it for just $301,000.”
NEARLY $300,000 FOR A VIDEO GAME
The National Endowment of the Humanities has awarded a professor at Hope College nearly $300,000 for a multi-player game that connects Civil War re-enactors online.
The game, titled “Valley Sim,” allows students to “take on the identity of one of 25 real-life citizens of two communities that were on opposite sides of the Civil War.”
The game is based almost entirely on an Internet chat system.
