Fear and the GOP

I head heard rumors but yesterday I saw it, actual proof that the GOP, the party of the old white man, is scared to death. The United States is quickly sliding to a place that resembles a general melting pot and not White men standing on top of everyone else, and they are scared.

How scared???? Check this out!

Republican Votes and Starbucks

To:

U.S. Representative Brian Bilbray
2348 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Representative Bilbray

Caught your appearance on Hardball with Chris Matthews Friday night and let me just say your looking well and rested. I enjoyed the interview/debate you had and especially enjoyed the part where you said the republicans did not vote for the stimulus bill because you were all called at ten minutes to midnight and informed there would be a call for a vote the following morning. Personally I blame Starbucks. I know President Obama has a full staff of kitchen folks at the white house and it would be naïve to believe that among the staff was not one coffee barista. Clearly putting President Obama at an advantage as none of the DC Starbucks are operating at that time of night.

And then to call everyone in the House at that time of night when Starbucks is not ready available and ask you to sacrifice a good nights sleep right before a extended holiday weekend because there is a national crisis. I mean yes people are losing their homes and being thrown on the streets and the unemployment numbers are higher than they have ever been. But to be asked to sacrifice a night sleep to do the job the people of California sent you to Washington to do. And on top of that to be asked to do it when there is not a single Starbucks open at that time of night. Trust me I checked, there are no 24 hour Starbucks in the DC area with the exception of the one at Union Station. But who can fault you for not knowing that, it took me a few phone calls to get that information myself and even then it closes between 2- 4 am.

The Republican response to punish the Democrats, the President, and of course the people of this country because you were asked to respond to a crisis and do your job outside of normal business hours is perfectly understandable.

Well that is all, I just wanted to write and send my support to you and the other Republicans that voted no on the bill because you were informed about it so late at night, and of course to tell you I understand that lack of Starbucks can stop you dead in your tracks.

Tuesdays Invitation!

Richard Parsons was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York april4, 1948. He is a lawyer and a business man and has currently been named chairman –designate for Citigroup.

I have to admit Robert was brought to my attention at a reading I attended recently. The author mentioned that Robert Parsons was the first African American to have the position of Chairman of Citigroup. I started doing some digging and Robert graduated from Albany Law school and received a Juris Doctor, he was also the CEO & Chairman of Time Warner helping to negotiate the merger with AOL. He is also on the President’s Economic Advisory Team and was considered for the post of Secretary of Commerce in the current administration.

So Robert Parsons please accept this invitation to the Dinner party of the year. Your opinion, your diversity, and your knowledge are more than welcome! Oh and yes we know you are a republican…your still invited!

Ann Coulter gets her hand spanked by single mom on the View!

Ann Coulter went on "The View " today and got her ass handed to her. One of her topics was how we incorrectly praise single mothers who are the cause of raising criminals and maladjusted children and being selfish while doing it. She also took a swipe at single mom Hollywood actresses who only have children to use them to propel her career.

Here is the full version




For those who's time is limited here is the final meltdown!

The 150 Thousand Dollar hockey Mom

I can’t resist it, no matter how much I try, so the really did put Lipstick on a pig!!!! The everyday hockey mom went shopping in stores with 5^th Ave names Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and Saks Fifth Avenue. But her credit splurge didn’t stop with just her; she also made purchases for the entire Palin clan.

This news come on top of news that the good Governor billed Alaska for the travel of her family to political events that they were not requested to attend. While on the service this all seems like fluff the truth is there could be some legal questions she will have to answer, something completely new for her.

This also calls into question some character issues about good ole’ Sarah. She has been billing herself as the “Joe six pack” ”Hockey mom” “everyman” candidate. But how can you be the everyman after 150 grand shopping sprees?

This is also calls into question you as a female candidate. So you’re a female politician and you need to be dressed but you want to be treated like everyone else. Well sorry Caribou Barbie, you really can’t have it both ways.

I fear this may very well be the nail in the coffin for the McCain campaign; well fear may not be the right word. I think the fear for me comes in people who will still vote against their interest and vote the McCain /Palin ticket.

After all the “Who is Barack Obama” questions that Sarah has been asking I guess we don’t have to ask that question of you anymore do we Governor Sarah. You are clearly a press dodging, non question answering, clandestine making, elitist, moose hunting, Caribou barbering, power hungry, hate mongering, and liar! But that is just my opinion.

Crisis Redux

It is becoming more and more clear to me that the party formerly known as The Republicans, now going by GOP, is playing from the same playbook that has only five plays in it. First Maverick McCain attempts to cancel a debate for the second time in his history. Now "W" is giving a speech that he gave 5 years ago. I wonder if he got any white out on his hands when he reread this speech?

Everyone else is offbeat!

Sometimes a blog just writes itself and sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and worth over 100,000 lives.

This picture to me represents the Office of the President 2000-2008. “There’s a problem, really? Everything looks fine from my end!”
