Here’s a little news item that made me want to vomit when I read it: Obama uses his BlackBerry to get “prayers” e-mailed to him.
Obama is the first president to carry one of the mobile devices, and said that he uses it to read prayers sent to him by several pastors from around the country who prayed with him during the 2008 campaign.
Really? I guess one of those prayers must have been about humans having dominion over the Earth, and they should go ahead and exploit it for everything it’s got, ‘cuz the President has decided to “drill baby drill,” and open up the East Coast and the coast of Alaska to offshore oil drilling. All that and more nukes, too? Outstanding.
It’s Springtime here in NY, which means the annual tradition of having no budget by the April 1st deadline. Over the past 25 years, the budget has been late 23 times, and this year will be another late one, as legislators have already left Albany for their 10-day Easter/Passover holiday break without a budget deal in place. We here in NY are filled with pride.
And now, a brief inspirational prayer to start the day.
I always like Janet Joplin.
Marco Rubio, Florida gubernatorial candidate, in a debate with Charlie Crist, supported raising the retirement age and cutting social security benefits.
Tea partiers seem to agree. In a Larry King interview, St. Louis tea party leader Dana Loesch and tea party leader compatriot Wayne Allyn Root also called for the elimination of social security.
Really? Cut SS benefits? Funny, you wouldn’t think that would go over all that well in God’s waiting room.
But then, do Governors get a say in what SS benefits ought to be?
Poor Ricky, I bet they had to tie a pork chop around his neck to get the dog to play with him, too.
This is a darn shame. Back in my misguided youth, I often found myself there in the wee hours of the morning after last call.
I am mystified by the far right and always have been. Why one would propose upping the retirement age to people who are not yet retired or cutting social security In god’s waiting room (nice description), I don’t know. I can see that these positions are consistent with the view that human Americans are not entitled to anything. I can’t see why anyone other than Dick Cheney would espouse them.
Adult entertainer Stormy Daniels plans to announce on tax day whether she’s moving ahead with a threatened challenge to Louisiana Sen. David Vitter. The AP reports that spokesman Brian Welsh “says Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, believes the timing will highlight the need for tax reform.”

I don’t think many people here are aware of the quote. Most of the local stations had clips of the “debate” on their news Sunday night and Monday, but I didn’t see that part on any of the stations. Crist needs to hang that quote on Rubio like a flaming tire.
Personally I’m hoping both of them will spend the next several months beating each other up and draining their war chests. They both suck. It would probably be easier for Kendrick Meek to run against Rubio rather than Crist, but the way it’s going, everyone here might be sick of both of the Repigs by the time the primary is held in August.
And you’re right, PJ, governors don’t control federal programs, but either Rubio is too stupid to know that, or more likely he doesn’t care about getting his facts right.
Did I mention they both suck? I did? Good. Because they both suck.
And not in a good way, either. Just so we’re clear.
And Rubio thinks he’s too good to play for the Timberwolves, too. Oh, wait, wrong Rubio.
Definitely not tall enough to play for the Timberwolves. And he sinks a little lower every day of the campaign.
Although I’m guessing Crist has spent some time hanging around locker rooms. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
And I would be remiss not to mention LL Cool J’s bodyslam of Caribou Barbie. Mama said knock you out, indeed.
:fist:
So are you saying they both suck? :billcat:
