Ablogination

Just per chance, I ran across the interview of the Tea Bagger who had his finger bitten off during a Town Hall meeting in California.

The Clown with nine digits had thrown a couple of punches at a MoveOn member and some how got his pinky stuck in the guy’s grill.
This little piggy went to market….

Medicare paid for the “NO SOCIALISM” proponant’s medical bills. Figures, huh?

Hilarious.

Having trouble with this vid. Go HERE if you can’t see it.

Sen. Lamar Alexander, the dazed and confused Senator from East Tennessee, has accomplished nothing in his entire career. Now, we find him working even harder at accomplishing even less….

Lamar Alexander cares nothing for the people of Tennessee. That much has become abundantly clear. He is a reclusive, beltway insider politician who has been proven to be out of touch and out to lunch on all important issues facing the state, our people and the country in general.

Speaking at Obama’s Health Care Summit, Alexander said nothing and offered nothing other than the same, canned Republican obstructionist lines.

Speaking for his party, Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander told the president at the opening of a health care summit Thursday that he should scrap the health care bill Senate Democrats passed on Christmas Eve and start fresh from a clean sheet of paper.

Alexander said Republicans represent the views of a great number of Americans who oppose the Democratic approach. He said Republicans agree with many of the president’s ideas for controlling health care costs and that both parties should work “step by step toward that goal.”

Said Alexander: “This is a car that can’t be recalled and fixed and we ought to start over.”

No, Senator. This is not a “car", this is the lives of the American people and the people of the state you’re supposed to be representing. Your years as a Senator have yielded nothing. Absolutely nothing for this state.
Start fresh? Why? We started fresh months ago and Republicans contributed nothing but filibuster. 100% aligned against any kind of reform. What good would starting over do? Congress can amend the present legislation any time.
What is it that Senator Alexander is going to propose if we “start over” that he seemingly cannot propose at the summit?

Truth is, Lamar Alexander and the GOP have nothing to propose other than to run when the legislative going gets tough. Just drop it and run away. That is the conservative platform on health care reform. And in a time when Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen is threatening to cut even more TennCare benefits, the people of the state of Tennessee could really use some Obama Care right about now. Especially since our elected officials, like Alexander and Rep. Phil Roe, have no intention of doing anything to help their people. Imagine the money the state would save if National Health Care replaced TennCare.

Sen. Alexander has the seniority to relieve many of Tennessee’s woes yet he does nothing other than play party politics with our health and our lives. Nothing, not one major accomplishment.

Tennessee is a poor state with a lot of poor people. We need universal health care. Clearly the President and many in Congress are fighting for our well being. Clearly, our Senator is not.
What’s he fighting for? That’s the easiest part to explain….

As we see HERE, Health Industry Corporations and other entities have provided Lamar Alexander with well over a Million dollars in lobbyist funds. Meanwhile, our loved ones die prematurely from lack of affordable health care.

Lamar Alexander is a disgrace to NE Tennessee. His priorities are obviously centered elsewhere and he has no clue what Tennesseans need. He is a self centered, hypocritical dunce that needs desperately to be replaced by a real Tennessean. The lights are on but nobody’s home.

This man must go.

Yep…

1) Like, OMG, Gag me with a Hot Dog:

Some insignificant group of malcontents at American Academy of Pediatrics has suggested that we should change the shape of hot dogs because they’re afraid children might choke on them.

….People, just shut the fuck up.

You remind me of PETA and the fly swatting incident. You’re idiots with too much time on your hands. You actually assail the “shape” of hot dogs when all you had to do was recommend that parents CUT THE FUCKING THING UP BEFORE THEY FEED IT TO THEIR KIDS!?
Morons…. What shape should they be? Maybe triangle shaped so the kid can poke their eye out? How ’bout star shape so they can throw them and poke the other kid’s eye out? Hows about a nice Octahedronic dog so they can summon Hellraiser?

Fact is, a non-tubular hot dog already exists. It’s round and they call it A FUCKING HAMBURGER!

2) Blooming Energy:

60 Mins has brought to light what may possibly be the future of energy independence. The Bloom Box, named for it’s company, Bloom Inc, is the brain child of a great American genius named K.R. Sridhar.
Sridhar suddenly, after a decade of developed Bloom Box, went public with the invention.
I consider this to be a very wise move considering the history of questionable deaths when it comes to innovation.
Preston Tucker, the great automobile innovator was killed under very questionable circumstances. Recently, some Tesla Motors employees were killed in a plane crash. Those circumstances are anything but clear.

The possibilities of the Bloom Box are almost endless. Pursuing this innovation will ultimately give the people a weapon against the energy whores that rob us day and night for electric and other forms of energy. Once condensed, the Bloom Box could easily power a car.

Good move, Sridhar. We are forever in your debt.

3) Israel. Serial Killers:

A Hamas big wig was assassinated in Dubai and the sloppiness of the operation is the signature of the inept Israeli murder squad known as the Mossad.
It’s not such a big deal that a Hamas leader was murdered, it’s that Israel seems to think that they can kill who they like when and where they like.

This behavior cannot be tolerated by the international community. It’s murder any way you fucking slice it. Israel is a criminal nation that has no right to exist. They have committed murder, attempted genocide and have deceptively stabbed those they call “friend” in the back too many times to count.
They are out of control and must be extinguished. Israel has no right to exist as a nation. They should be driven out of Palestinian territory and their leaders tried for war crimes in the international courts. Their sentences should be similar to that of Saddam Hussein.

Whatever Israel suffers in the future as a result of it’s inhuman, Godless ways can only be described as very much deserved. They are terrorists, nothing more and certainly nothing less.

4) You’re doin’ a heck of a job, Brownie:

Scott Brown, the new Massachusetts Senator and the Tea Bagger’s “41st vote” has helped Democrats overcome a Repig filibuster of the Jobs Bill that recently passed the Senate.

All I can say is……. LOL!

Eat shit, Tea Baggers (or nuts or whatever). Scott Brown is still a piece of crap Republican, but he sure stuck it to you Right Wing trash in admirable fashion.
Please, continue to whine, cry, blubber, scream, shout and holler. Your frustration and misery is music to our ears.

5) Does Dick’s clock ever stop?:

The nation’s most infamous traitor, former VP Dick Cheney, had another heart attack but unfortunately survived it.
We’ll update this entry when we have better news on the subject.

6) USA Defeats Canada in Olympic Hockey:

Take that, Ice Box Limeys.

Oh, yeah…

7) Peeping Tom Teachers:

It matters not what the motivation was. “Intentions” are of no consequence. Faculty of the Lower Merion School District in Pennsylvania have been monitoring their student’s behavior at home, often in the privacy of their bedrooms, without anyone’s knowledge.
This is done through a program that remotely activates the web cams in the school supplied lap tops that students take home.
The district’s stated intention is to be able to “locate missing lap tops". Sorry, any ten year old knows that you cannot locate a computer through a camera. That is done by tracing IPs.

This is insane and is becoming more so every day. Now it seems that Merion techs made an effort to prevent students from finding out about the cameras being remotely operated.
Brainwrap at Kos has an excellent post about this diabolical activity.

Imagine. You’re a kid, teen, kickin’ it in your room, hormones a blazin’. You undress yourself for a little personal relief, all the while a member of your school’s faculty is watching you on your lap top web cam.

Get it?

Every one of these filthy, possible child porn producing “teachers” should spend a very, very long time in prison. This is major. Major.

H/T to Steve at Whitescreek Journal

Just bored, so I thought I’d write about the most boring local primaries on earth, with the possible exception of Guam.
The following information was found at the Kingsport Times News

As of Tuesday afternoon, the following candidates had filed petitions for the following races with the Election Commission:

County mayor

• Incumbent Steve Godsey (filed for Republican primary)

• Mark Vance (filed for Republican primary)

The questions voters must ask themselves are:

Q:What has Steve Godsey done for Sullivan county?
A:Nothing.

Q:How is Mark Vance any different from Godsey?
A:He’s not.

County trustee

• Incumbent Frances Harrell (filed for Democratic primary)

• Peggy Bridgeman Campbell (filed for Republican primary)

Q: Has Frances Harrell performed her duties well or not?
A: Harrell has performed flawlessly

Q: Who is Peggy Campbell?
A: Who cares?

County clerk

• Incumbent Jeanie Gammon (filed for Democratic primary)

• Jim Holcomb (filed for the Republican primary)

Q: Has Jeanie Gammon performed her job well?
A: She is the greatest. If you have encountered her, she helped you out in some way.

Q: Who is Jim Holcomb?
A: One of John Gregory’s Taliban scumbags who has no business serving in an official capacity. I wouldn’t elect a Jesus-Pimping dirtbag like Holcomb to be a judge on American Idol. Much less a civil servant.
Electing Holcomb would be like electing David Davis.
Holcomb is the personification of the John Gregory extreme Right Wing (aka Bristol Taliban)’s efforts to remain relevant in the local political scene.
Other notable members of the BT are wannabe Speaker of the House Jason Mumpower and Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey.

If it’s John Gregory, it’s wrong.

Register of deeds

• Incumbent Mary Lou Duncan (filed for the Democratic primary)

• Bart Long (filed for the Republican primary)

Q:Has Duncan performed her duties well?
A:All the deeds are registered.

Q:Why is Bart Long a Republican?
A: Probably because there’s no Libertarian party in the area.
Bart Long is not a bad guy at all. But having a person who makes their living on real estate running the Deeds Dept. sounds a little conflicting.

Duncan should remain.

Commissioner of highways

• Incumbent Allan Pope (filed for the Republican primary)

Q:Why do our highways look like shit since Pope was last elected?
A:Typical Republican inaction. If you think one or two new lights on 11W makes up for the decaying shoulders and potholes you’re sadly mistaken.

If Pope has a plan for our end of the 100% Stimulus Highway Money TDOT is getting, he should speak out. The proper use of these funds could sway a vote or two.

County attorney

• Incumbent Dan Street (filed for the Republican primary)

Q:How has Dan Street handled his job thus far?
A:He has remained on the intelligent side of the “how the Hatch Act effects the county” argument.

County sheriff

• Incumbent Wayne Anderson (filed for Republican primary)

• David Steadman (filed for Republican primary)

• John Taylor (filed for Democratic primary)

Q:What kind of job has Wayne Anderson done as Sheriff?
A:A hearty mix of stupid, dishonest yet practical.

This one is tough. Wayne Anderson is an ass, no question about it. I have personally seen him come through the Felony cells at the main jail, moments ahead of the press, and tell inmates to pick their mattresses up off the floor and hide them under the mattresses on the bunks so the inhumane conditions of his jail aren’t so obvious.

At the same time, John Taylor (Democrat) made the statement that “Anderson’s drug arrests are way down". That makes Taylor a scary candidate (see jack-booted, third-eye-blind Drug War advocate).
We don’t need a drug crusader running around busting our kids for smoking pot and costing us mountains of money just to put them on probation and accomplish basically nothing. Especially since all applicable science proves that incarceration does nothing to rid the community of drugs or stop people from catching a buzz.
Anderson may, by virtue of experience, understand this.
Taylor seems to be unaware that Attorney General Eric Holder said that the Drug War was over. He is fear-mongering. That is a sure sign of a fool running for office.

Don’t know much about Steadman. We’ll see….

Circuit court clerk

• Incumbent Tommy Kerns (filed for the Republican primary)

Q:Do we know anything about Kerns?
A:No.

County Commission District 1 (one seat)

A:Good luck on ever getting an answer.

County Commission Disrict 2 (three seats)

• Incumbent Cathy Armstrong (filed for the Republican primary)

• Incumbent Buddy King (filed to run as an independent)

• Bryan Boyd (filed for the Republican primary)

Q:Who cares?
A:Who cares??

County Commission District 3 (one seat)

• Bob Neal (filed for the Republican primary)

Q:Hey, are you Bob Neal or is that just what you do?
A: Ok, ok I couldn’t resist. This is really getting boring. Sorry.

County Commission District 4 (three seats)

• Incumbent Linda Brittenham (filed to run as an independent)

• Incumbent Dennis Houser (filed to run as an independent)

• Ed Marsh (filed for the Republican primary)

• Archie Pierce (filed for the Republican primary)

Party primaries are in May. The general election is in August.

LOL! Just Fuckin’ LOL!
Lamar Alexander has been fuckin’ up large lately. But it’s really getting deep now. Put yer waders on, East Tennessee. LAMAR! is making a mess again….

First voting to prevent victims of workplace rape from having legal recourse, he now has been caught in the sweetest example of Republican hypocrisy I’ve seen in a while.

From The Nashville Scene

The Washington Times reported: “Sen. Lamar Alexander, Tennessee Republican, who easily won re-election in 2008, said of the stimulus, “This is spending, not stimulus.” But in a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the senator sought stimulus money for a project that he said would “create over 200 jobs in the first year and at least another 40 new jobs in the following years.”

Well, LAMAR!
You’ve really stepped in it this time. Certainly not the first or last time, but this is a whopper.

We have to get somebody to replace this useless incumbent.
