A Christmas Message from America's Rich
Posted Dec 22, 2011
As apalling as some of these quotes from the filthy rich are, I'm not really surprised. You'd be amazed at some of what came out of the mouths
of some of the entitled little bitches I grew up with, and I wasn't anywhere near to rich and neither were they. Much closer to lower middle class.

You have to use the search term "bomb plot" with the same date parameters in order to bring up any articles on the MLK parade 2011 bomb plot.
Because, you know, American non-muslim, white supremacists are not "terrorists!"
They are just "bomb plot" ters.

Holiday musing
I've been avoiding the newZ stuff lately because frankly, most of it is stupid:
Fox and Sarah Palin Freak over White House Christmas Card.
Wed, Dec. 21, 2011
Instead, I have been watching an even sillier show that lasted 1 season called "The Event." Silly, exciting and about aliens that look like us and crash landed in Alaska 66 years ago during WWII and have been held in a prison made especially for them ever since then...
So my creative little mind starts wondering "Hey, maybe Molly McMooesturd stumbled onto some super-duper secret government installation in Alaska and that is why the goofy bitch is in the newZy reports all the time?"
Hey, it's not any crazier than the thought of Sarah Palin, a major flaming turd queen, as a presidential candidate, and it might explain why she's not a simple footnote in history yet. You got a better idea? Come on, I could use some larfs today, :)

Avoiding the news
Watching all kinds of stuff on Netflix. I never had cable tv so there is lots of stuff for me there. I flew through a show that was filmed in 2010 in San Diego called Terriers.. I remember reading posts on the OB Rag and thinking that it was great that it's set in OB, but I didn't expect much from it. I like some shows about private investigators and I don't like some of them. Anyway, I hope they figure out a way to get another season going because I love it.
My friend told me about these guys who do "Bad Lip Reading" on YouTube and they make me laugh.
"Michele Bachmann": a BLR Soundbite

Bradley Manning is accused of leaking 720,000 diplomatic and military documents
Is the US government at war with whistle blowers? A military officer overseeing the hearing of the US Army analyst accused of leaking government secrets has rejected a request to recuse himself.
"...Lt Col Almanza is a former military judge who now works for the Department of Justice, which has its own investigation into Wikileaks. His refusal to accept all but two of 38 defence witnesses meant the defence could not adequately make their case, Mr Coombs said..."Continue reading the main story

Death Penalty Use Plummets to 35-Year Low
By Andrew Chow on December 16, 2011 5:50 AM | Findlaw
Good, now let's get rid of it completely since it's a big frigging waste of taxpayer money to keep dragging these people into court on appeal after appeal and those who cause the most death in this country and overseas never get indicted anyways.

Adam Carolla Rails Against Occupy ‘Ass Douches’ In Rant: ‘F**king Self-Entitled Monsters’

by Jon Bershad | 12:05 pm, December 1st, 2011
He sounds like he's talking about the top 1%, except he's using the right wing AssDOUCHE meme of the top pays all the taxes for the bottom earners. I would love to meet a dude raised in LA that didn't make me want to leave the room immediately. Some people try to lump San Diego in with LA, but believe me, that 2 hour drive opens up a completely different world.
