More Bubbles From My Soapbox

I am pissed off at Brian Williams and the reason why is that I like Brian and he did something really stupid.  The thing about it is that you can’t defend it because he certainly shouldn’t have done it but it seems the amount of criticism coming from mostly the media seems a little out of whack.

Brian told one lie which really was simply a embellishment of a true story to make himself look good.  No one was hurt, nobody got slandered or defamed, except himself. Where on the other hand George Warmonger Bush, Dick (I Really Am a Dick) Cheney, and Donald (I’m Not The Smartest Guy In The Room Even When I Am The Only Guy In The Room) Dumbsfield according to a recent study lied 935 times about Iraq.   

Punditfactof found that Fox News lies about 72% of the time and Bill (America’s Blowhard Bully) O’Reilly once told people on a book tour of his combat experience when the truth is the asshole never served in the military.

Then there are the millions of parents who lie to their kids about Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

36 Senators from the “Just Say No” party found that occasionally they can say yes…Well when there is money involved.  A report just released shows that the Koch brothers paid an average of $250,000 to the Senators who said yes to the Keystone Pipeline and only $22,000 to the ones who voted no.  And the number one Kochhead is Texas Senaterrible John (Not Only Is My Gun Concealed, But So Is My Integrity) Cornyn who received a little over one million dollars from the Koch Bros to say yes on the Keystone Pipeline.  

This is a project that will benefit only the Koch bros.  It will transfer oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico to be exported to the rest of the world.   Not a drop stays here, well, only the hundreds of gallons that will run out into U.S. soil during a leak, and it will only employ 35 to 50 permanent jobs.  

More news from the state whose motto is Oklahoma Is Okie Dopey.  Congressmoron Dan (I’m An Okie And I’m Dopey) Fisher has introduced legislation to ban Advanced Placement U.S. History class. Little Danny thinks the course teaches “what is bad about America.”  I am pretty sure he doesn’t want those little Okies to hear about the Tulsa race riots of 1921 where an estimated 10,000 blacks were left homeless, 6,000 were arrested, 35 city blocks were destroyed by fire and up to 300 were killed.  You see all of this has been left out of Oklahoma’s history books.


Stay tuned for future adventures.
