The Same Ole News

When Rep. Charles Rangel spoke before the House Ethics Committee yesterday, he kept saying, “I’m not a crook.”  Didn’t someone else say that?  Sounds familiar…..He also said, “I didn’t try to hide anything.”  Well hell, no wonder he got caught….

Have you noticed how under the radar Tom DeLay’s money laundering trial is?  Did you even know it was going on?  That’s because nobody gives a shit about Tom DeLay anymore.

A gay couple got married on a plane while flying over Canada where gay marriage is legal.  Pat Robertson said he was shocked…..He couldn’t believe that God hadn’t struck the plane down.
                                             
Lisa Murkowski's has won the Alaska election for Senator as a write-in candidate.  Sounds to me like the TLC producers screwed up, maybe it should be Lisa Murkowski’s Alaska

Here is a little Christmas present for everybody that is unemployed. Republicans in the House have blocked a bill that would have extended jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed beyond the holiday season.  I guess there are no unemployed Republicans. Isn’t that nice? Could it be that the G in GOP stands for Grinch?

Two former longtime employees at Bernard Madoff's firm were arrested on Thursday in connection with the investigation into the now-imprisoned swindler's Ponzi scheme, the FBI said.  What?.....Bernie didn’t pull off the 65 Billion dollar scheme all by himself.  I sure didn’t see this one coming.

I feel bad for all those folks in Haiti.  No wonder they call it Haiti.

In 1867 when Congress approved of the purchase of the territory that is now known as Alaska, the Republicans were against it.  They said it contained nothing of value but furbearing animals, and these had been hunted until they were nearly extinct.  Wow, sounds like Sarah Palin’s Alaska to me.


The TV show Medium just got canceled.  The star of the show is a psychic who works for the Phoenix police department.  You would have thought she would have seen this coming.


Today's good read is Fly By Wire by Ward Larsen. A well written story with a twist on a terrorist attack on the US.

Extra, Extra, Read All About It

I just want to point out to all the folks who were so excited about the big change voted in the election a few weeks ago that the same four people, Boehner, Pelosi, McConnell, and Reid will still be running Congress.

Sarah Palin’s Alaska.  The TV show about the woman who loves Alaska so much she quit in the middle of her term as Governor.

When a reporter asked Sarah Palin about her reading habits, she snapped, “I’ve been reading since I was a little girl.”  Unfortunately it’s the same book, Alice in Wonderland.  She says liked the tea party.

When it comes to being un-ethical Rep. Chales Rangel is proof that the Democrats can stand toe to toe with the Republicans.

I’m not sure why the critics are so up in arms about the airport X-ray scanners.  There is not a single incident where Superman’s X-ray vision ever killed anyone.

News headline on MSNBC.  Are you a GPS Addict?  It may be eroding your brain.  Did MSNBC hire the guy who writes The National Enquirer headlines?

I see where the Tea Party is pressuring the GOP to get behind the ban on earmarks. I’m not sure where this is coming from.  I checked and other than the few women in Congress, there is not a single Senator or Representative wearing ear rings.  So far the Tea Party has made no comment on tattoos or nipple piercing.

A World War II military-style airplane has crash landed in upstate New York, and the pilot is injured. The plane, a 1940 Aeronca L-3, is considered a light observation aircraft and was used to support ground forces and direct artillery fire on enemy troops in World War II.  I know we have been re-deploying soldiers for longer assignments since the Iraq war began but this is ridiculous.  I think this guy has done enough.

I saw a news story where The Rev. Cedric Miller, the leader of Living World Christian Fellowship Church in Neptune, NJ, has told his congregation to give up Facebook because it causes infidelity.   I am pretty sure there was a typo in the story.  I believe the Reverend is from the planet Neptune.

 Texas governor Rick Perry, elected this month to a third term, said in a recent interview with Newsweek that the Troubled Asset Relief Program, used to fund GM, was a mistake.  Let’s see, GM earned $5 billion in the first nine months of 2010 and is on track for its first full-year profit since 2004 and their IPO will be the biggest ever on Wall Street.  It should raise around 22.7 billion.  Yeah buddy, here is a guy who knows what he is doing.  No wonder Texas is the 9th poorest state in the United States.
