Another Fun Friday Vacation

ANOTHER FUN FRIDAY

HAPPY VACATION MR. PRESIDENT!

            The Dow crashes 419 Points. Workers in Detroit and across America are screaming for jobs. The conclusion of the President’s Flatten America Mega Bus Tour and the beginning of his 10-day vacation is at hand. Here’s an inside report by Andrea Mitchell from aboard the mega bus Leadership.

Mitchell: “This bus is absolutely enormous! From the inside it seems like we are in a stadium not a motor vehicle! Mr. President, is it true that this vehicle has stealth technology more advanced than the Stealth Fighter Jets?”

Prez: “Yes, that’s correct Mitchell. This vehicle is not only invisible to radar, but when activated we can bend light around the bus to make it disappear; make it actually invisible.”

Mitchell: “That’s incredible! Why did you name it Leadership?

Prez: “My choice was The Invisible Bus, but when my staff found out about the disappearing feature they chose Leadership. I don’t get it but I suppose because there are two buses and this one is in front it makes sense.”

Mitchell: “Is it true that both buses, Leadership and The Magic Bus, were made in Canada at a cost of 1.1 million dollars each.”

Prez: “That information was confidential, when it was leaked we had to cancel our stop in Detroit. The American autoworkers were enraged. I saw Maxine Waters and some members of the Congressional Black Caucus waiting for me there. They all had paddles the size of a tennis rackets. They were gonna spank my ass.”

Mitchell: “You said you saw Maxine? I don’t’ understand. You canceled that stop.”

Prez: “Oh, we didn’t stop. Hell no! I flipped the invisibility switch on Leadership and we drove right outta there. The Magic Bus got its ass kicked before escaping. They can’t go invisible. They had to throw Biden out the door to distract the crowd.  Damn freaky shit!”

Mitchell: “Why did they pick Joe Biden to throw under the bus?”

Prez: “He’s already a member of the cracked head club so we felt Biden had less to lose.”

Mitchell: “Some say the tour is simply a political stunt to shore up the white vote in the Midwest. How do you expect this Flatten America Mega Bus Tour to help the job market?”

Prez: “Are you kidding Mitchell? Did you see all those safety and emergency vehicles trailing us; closing the roads?”

Mitchell: “I thought those were security vehicles.”

Prez: “Hell no. The massive weight of these armor-plated behemoths are literally pulverizing the concrete and blacktop roadways and buckling the bridges beneath us. Those are safety vehicles closing the highways behind us. We will generate thousands of jobs on infrastructure before we reach Martha’s Vineyard. Those are shovel ready jobs Mitchell! This Flatten America Tour is a grand success!”

Mitchell: Noticing the bus slowing: “Why are we pulling over already? We just stopped for gas an hour ago.”

Prez: “These are scheduled stops, Mitchell. These little truck stops don’t have enough fuel for these buses. We stocked fuel from the strategic oil reserves every 60 miles along our route to keep us running.”

Mitchell: “What about the carbon foot print?”

Prez: “What? Global Warming! You gotta be kidding Mitchell. Does anyone still believe that crap after those U.K. emails were exposed? The warmers just gave Gore a fabricated non-issue to keep him busy, poor guy; still thinks the election was stolen from him.”

Mitchell: “Sir, do you mind if I ride on the Magic Bus after this stop? It sounds like a party back there.”

Prez: “Enjoy yourself Mitchell, just beware that’s a rowdy crowd, even without Biden.”

THE MAGIC BUS

            Andrea Mitchell disembarks Leadership and awaits the Magic Bus rolling to a stop. The door opens and a dense cloud of smoke billows skyward.

Mitchell: “Oh my God! FIRE! FIRE!” she screams as she waves her arms frantically, signaling the truck stop workers.

            A man in a circus style outfit walks out of the cloud and asks, “What’s the matter little lady?”
Mitchell: “Your bus is on fire!”

Man: “I’m the driver. There’s no worry, it’s a controlled burn little lady. Cheech and Chong have a handle on it. You’re up tight; you need to fly with us aboard Magic Bus.  Out here is war, hate, crime, hunger, and anger. On Magic Bus we only have love and happiness. Out here you have despair and monotony. On the Magic Bus we have hope and change, baby. Get hip, why not join us? Hop aboard Magic Bus! Hey aren’t you Andrea Mitchell?”

Mitchell: “Yes, and I recognize you. Are you Bono?”

Bono: “The one and only. Welcome to the Magic Bus.”

Mitchell: “Is that the outfit from Sergeants Peppers Lonely Hearts Club?”

Bono: “This attire is from Across the Universe, the movie. We have been singing and playing the sound track. Those Beatles songs are way out man! Were grooving out all across America. Try some of this electric Kool-Aid. You’ll see what I mean. This is the same Kool-Aid recipe we sent to all the major media and the Universities right before the Presidential election.”

Mitchell: “Oh, I remember this stuff. We had a 55-gallon barrel over at MSNBC. We all got tingles up our thighs every time we saw Obama. He had a halo! By the time I crashed, Obama was president. Mmmm this is good!”

            As the bus empties for the short stop, Mitchell begins to recognize the passengers.

Mitchell: “Wow! This is the first time in years that I have felt like the youngest in the crowd. Isn’t that Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Diana Oughton? My God, Hi Hillary! What the hell is Jane Fonda doing here?”

Bono: “This is the sixties baby and were fly in, fly in high again!”

            The crowd of old people dressed in Woodstock era clothing poured from the Magic Bus a pair of men with neckties wrapped around their heads and carrying a deer carcass brushed past Mitchell.

Mitchell: “Bill Clinton, is that you?”

Clinton: “Hey Andrea, give us a hand. We hit this deer on Route 70 a few miles back. I recruited Rick Perry to come help me butcher it. We got a barbeque pit on the bus.”

Mitchell: “Why Rick Perry? He’s the enemy.”

Clinton: “He’s no enemy, he’s my wingman babe. Look at the hair on this guy! We are gonna score with some of these hippie chicks after the cookout. Hillary let me bring him aboard because we needed someone to field dress a deer. Couldn’t find a qualified Democrat so we took a vote between Rick and Sarah Pallin. Rick won because he has better hair. We’ll be partying all night long Andrea and I definitely will save some time for you babe!”

Howard Dean: “YEEEEEEEEHAAAAA!


R.W. Emerson: “ I find it a great and fatal difference whether I court the Muse, or the Muse courts me: That is the ugly disparity between age and youth.”

TPBPS!

Happy weekend

BUBBLE BOY SCHULTZ


SCHULTZ LIVING IN A BUBBLE


     On 8/12/2011 Randy Schultz, Editor of the Editorial Page of the Palm Beach Post, posted an opinion piece entitled Who got things right while debt skyrocketed? We did.
            Mr. Schultz attempts to make the argument that the Palm Beach Post cannot be blamed for the state of the nations finances. “Fiscal conservatives, that’s us.” Says Mr. Schultz. He then identifies a few examples when the Post opposed legislation that harmed the economy and increased the national debt. Mr. Schultz examines events going back as far as 1982. He is able to find a hand full of budget and legislative bills passed by Congress and signed by Presidents causing instability in markets and adding to the national debt. What he fails to mention is that since it’s inception, the Palm Beach Post has endorsed and helped elect an overwhelming majority of big government tax and spend liberal politicians at both the local and national levels. Almost all of the Palm Beach Posts endorsements favor Democrats with the occasional R.H.I.N.O. tossed into the mix. These are the politicians who have expanded government spending to unimaginable and unsustainable levels. Thank you Palm Beach Post.
            The disdain for true fiscally conservative leaders like Allen West, Marco Rubio, Michele Bachman (love that Newsweek Cover), Herman Cain (more coverage of his gospel singing than his extraordinary resume) is apparent. (Does anyone notice that these are all conservative women and minorities?) Contrast this with the Post’s adulation for whining big government progressive politicians like Debra Wah Wah Wasserman-Schultz, Ron Klein and Obama.
While the media gave Sarah Pallin a public colonoscopy, Barack Obama was sheltered from critical analysis; we are still trying to figure out who Obama is! Just today I saw a clip of Chris Matthews asking Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post a question. To paraphrase Matthews; Eugene, don’t you think the N.Y. Times and the Washington Post will spend every last nickel they have to send out young reporters to go after Rick Perry? Don’t’ you think that this guy better pray he has nothing in his past. Don’t you think he had better be completely clean? Not surprisingly Eugene Robinson’s answer was, Absolutely. Yes!
These people pretend to be journalist, reporting news and events, informing the public. In reality they are nothing more than tools; a mouthpiece for the left. They all live in the same bubble. Look at the staff of the Palm Beach Post. Could any of these people be considered politically conservative? Is there any media source that could possibly be considered conservative outside of talk radio or one cable channel, Fox News? The deck is stacked overwhelmingly against conservative thought and yet the left whines about damage done by the terrorist, hostage taking tea party crowd.
Grow up and come out of your bubble Mr. Schultz. You and the Palm Beach Post have in the past and continue today to influence our elections with your biased support of big spending Democrats. You praise the bailouts and defend the failed stimulus even as we speed toward bankruptcy and a country of welfare recipients. You remain silent as the clowns and army of czars in the Obama Administration destroy the private sector. You scoff at even the most meager of budget cuts such as the elimination of funding for the Public Broadcasting Corporation and foreign aid programs. You claim that such cuts would not make a difference. I say in a crisis, every penny makes a difference.
A fan of my blog sent me the following report, which was written by Ryan Grim of The Huffington Post (thank you fan). It details one of the Republican proposals for spending cuts. Whether you like these cuts or not, can you please at least ask, “Where’s the damn Democrat Plan!”  Can you demand that Obama exit Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. Will you ask, where the hell did Code Pink go?
By the way Mr. Schultz, some insignificant little cuts are listed below. They add up to over 2.5 trillion dollars over ten years. Yes entitlements and defense must come next but at least these cuts should be comparatively easy

      I place blame for our financial crises and credit downgrade squarely at the feet of the Democrat Party and it’s tools in the mainstream media who endorse big government leftist politicians year after year. 
     Come out of your bubble Mr. Schultz, question yourself; question the left as well as the right.

That’s why the Palm Beach Post Sucks!
