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.

Flakey Friday the 13th

Ok guys, if you don’t want to end up like those seven dudes in a garage in Chicago in 1929, you had better get that wife, lover or sweetie a Valentine card or chocolate for tomorrow. I understand in Alabama when you buy candy or a valentine on this day you have to sign a statement saying it’s for the opposite sex or face jail time.

Of all the comments made in the media this week about Brian Williams lying about his experience in Iraq, I thought the one from Fox News was the best when they said, “What, you can’t lie on television?’ That is also the same thing they said to their being sued by the city of Paris for reporting that there were sections of Paris that had been taken over by Muslims. I’m pretty sure “Better call Saul” is the head of their legal department.

And these words came falling out of Rick (All Hair, No Brains) Perry’s mouth yesterday. "Texas has been criticized for having a large number of uninsured," he said, "but that's what Texans wanted”.  I wonder why he didn’t go on to say that Texans wanted to be in the bottom five states in education, and that we wanted to be dead last in voter turn out.

Sarah (Half Assed Governor, Full Time Moron) Palin was in Texas yesterday ranting a few words at a program entitled “How Women are Showing 21^st Century Leadership”.  If the program had been called “People Who Quit Things in the Middle of It”, then I could understand why they had this bonehead speak. 



Stay tuned for future adventures.
