Week-In-Review
Just a Few Weeks
There's not been much content here, it's not that we don't like you, or that we're not strongly opinionated people. It's just that paying for all this stimulus stuff takes some time. It maybe a little sparse for the next few weeks, but we'll try to get the ball rolling in a little while.
Promise.
Surfs Up
Really? Waterboarding isn't surfer slang? I guess no one informed me. Now one informed Nancy Pelosi either. Well, maybe she was informed, but it was second hand - or she was briefed by someone who wasn't informed. Or someone who was informed but not completely briefed.
Either way, while the Bush administration was lying to you, the CIA was lying to her.
Assuming she's right - why would she tell us? After all, if what they're best at is waterboarding and lying...
Of course if you want to talk about a lack of information and 'misleading', how about the Stimulus bill? Voted on before it could be read, in spite of promises that it would be made public.
I guess Speaker Pelosi's next career move could be the CIA.
Perhaps we should be interested in an informed opinion?
Opposites Attract
In the story that just won't stop, Carrie Prejean arguably lost the Miss USA competition because of her answer to a gay question from a homosexual judge:
We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman.
It wasn't the horrible grammar, but the content of the answered that offended judge Perez Hilton, and perhaps cost her the title. Those tolerant of 'same-sex marriage' don't seem to be tolerant of anything else. Getting to the bottom of the issue, Miss USA franchise owner Donald Trump says she holds the same views on gay marriage as President Obama:
It's the same answer that the president of the United States gave, she gave an honorable answer.
Nicely played by the Donald. But the Administration bites back as David Axelrod - chief advisor - says that when picking the first family's dog, Miss California was a runner up.
Now That's Funny
Forget our witty look at current events, if you want funny just drop in at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Wanda Sykes pulled out all the stops, theorizing that Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker on September 11th, but missed his flight because of the Oxycontin.
That's almost as funny as buzzing New York City for a photo op.
Then she asked:
l hope this country fails?" I hope his kidney fails!
Pretty classy stuff. Yet this joke needs an apology.
Cheney
No longer in a secure location, former vice president Dick Cheney is anything but silent. Feeling that he'd rather criticise the President then watch his country be dismantled, he's out there claiming that what the last administration did protected this country, and what the current administration is doing will weaken this country
and put us all in danger.
If I don't speak out, then where do we find ourselves? Then the critics have free run, and there isn't anybody there on the other side to tell the truth. So it's important.
Time to Retire
Justice Souter will be leaving the bench, so it won't be long before all the drama of a new appointment. If current legal appointments are any indicator, it won't be pretty.
If we could pick someone who should retire, it would probably be Arlin Specter.
After switching parities, two Democrat contenders for the Senate nomination dropped out, but the Senate hasn't given him any help with seniority - at least until after the election.
But Specter's given the Democrats a taste of what it's like to have him at the party. He's already voting against the party, and gave his support to Norm Coleman - of the Coleman/Franken election. Of course he took that support back just a little while later - so maybe he's already picking up on how to be a Democrat.
