Monday Morning Quarterback

According to the latest polls Ted (Head Kochroach) Cruz is the leader of the Republican Party. This is probably the best news the Democrats have had in years. Let’s look back at some of the early poll leaders in Republican Party over the last few years.  There was Rudy Giuliani, Michele Bachman, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain and of course Sarah Palin. Talk about a who’s who of losers.

The LAX shooter was carrying a “manifesto” associated with the antigovernment “patriot” movement.  Hmmm, sounds like he was a member of the Tea Party.  After all the Tea Party mostly consists of illiterate, gun toting, racist wrapped up in the American flag and spewing biblical crap who couldn’t spell Tea Party if you spotted them the T and A.

It appears that 60 Minutes has egg all over its face, the large 4 egg omelet kind. Last weeks interview with a man who said he was a security officer who witnessed the attack has turned out to be all lies.  According to his official report that he turned after the attack, he wasn’t even there. Even Fox News turned this guy down after he wanted money. I mean if the boneheads at Faux News turned down a chance to slam Hilary and the White House, you know this guy was pulling a Cruz. 

Mitt (I Was Wrong, 51% Didn't Vote for Me) Romney said Sunday that President Barack Obama’s "fundamental dishonesty" on the Affordable Care Act has “put in peril the whole foundation of his second term.”  Wow, I guess that puts Obama’s third term in office in real jeopardy..

I just saw a headline that said, Man pepper-sprays a woman, steals her monkey.  Is that code for something?




Stay tuned for future adventures.

A Day Off

Once again we are having a holiday for someone who doesn’t deserve ten seconds of our time, much less a day.  Good ole Chris (Where’s the Poop Deck?) Columbus who made four trips across the Atlantic and never sat foot in America has a major holiday dedicated to him.  Hey I’m all for holidays but why can’t we have them for somebody who actually did something?

I’m talking about things that meant something or changed the world, like the guy who invented the margarita or maybe who ever gave us the snuggie.  Important things like who discovered Fargo North Dakota or who came up with Honey Boo Boo.  Not some guy who couldn’t tell the North Star from the moon.  The Captain and Gilligan were better sailors than this goober. 


This comes under the heading, Football Theory of Relativity.  Gary Kubiak head coach of the Houston Texans was a back up quarterback his entire playing career and now he has a back up quarterback for his starting quarterback.  For you Houston fans, you do remember that when Peyton Manning was leaving the Colts he expressed interest in playing for the Texans but the Texans weren’t interested.  After all they had Matt Schaub.


The first nail in the coffin has been driven.  Ted (All Mouth, No Brains) Cruz is the overwhelming favorite in the Conservative Straw Poll.  Just ask Ron or Rand (Two PeaBrains in Pod) Paul or Rick (I Should be in a) Santorum. 

The big Tea Party rally in Washington over the week-end was a really big blow out.  I understand they had over 15 people show up. 

Stay tuned for future adventures.

Newton Discovers Jesus

Ole Newton Leroy Gingrich has tossed his hat into the ring.  He and his cute little trophy wife number 3 (she’s 22 years younger) say that Newton has discovered Jesus.  I don’t know if Newton was sitting under an apple tree when Jesus fell on him or what.  I wonder if Nitwit has told his entire conservative, family values flock that most of his campaign money comes from a gambling mogul. I doubt it, he has to sell them on wifey pooh #3 and being born again first.

The Texas Senate has passed Dan (Pillsbury dough boy) Patrick’s bill to allow lawmakers to pack heat anywhere they go, ie, church, bars, sporting events.  In other words, in all kinds of places no one else can carry a gun.  Gee, sounds to me like these boys are feeling a little paranoid, you know like maybe folks are out to get them for doing such a lousy job.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver, announced Monday that they are separating. I’m not sure which one delivered the line, “I won’t be back.”

Here is a good one. It’s called the Free State Project and the members call themselves “Free Staters.”   Today, nearly 1,000 of these “Free Staters” have moved to New Hampshire and if the movement succeeds, 20,000 Free Staters will soon be living in a Granite State community focused on libertarian, small-government principles.

Most of these Free Staters are followers of Libertarian Ron Paul.  A spokesman for the Libertarians said, “We felt we could maximize our influence by trying to focus on a single state where we could move and start to impact the political system.”  The movement started in 2003 and now 12 members of the New Hampshire legislature call themselves Free Staters. New Hampshire is also where the Presidential primary kicks off.  I am assuming since the motto on their license plates is “Live Free Or Die,” you either have to join the Free Staters or kill yourself.   Kool-Aid anyone?


And another preacher bites the dust. Evidently lying is in their DNA. The Rev. Jim Moats, a 59-year-old pastor at the Christian Bible Fellowship Church in Newville, Pa. has been telling his flock for years that he served in Vietnam and was a Navy Seal.  It seems both stories were a big fat lie.

After he was dumb enough to do an interview with The Patriot-News, a real navy seal confronted him and he confessed he made it all up.  He said he took some things that he had seen in a Steven Segal movie and passed them off as true.  Steven Segal? At least he could have come up with a real actor like Matt Damon or Bruce Willis.

Today's good read is Red On Red by Edward Conlon.  A very well written detective story written by a real detective. This is one of the best books I've read lately.



Stay tuned for futures adventures.

A Valentine Wish

Here is hoping you have a great Valentine Day
and lots of love and candy come your way.
Thanks for taking a little bit of your valuable time
to stop and read Sleeps Til Noon and this dumb little rhyme.


AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

At the Grammy’s last night, the big winners were Lady Antebellum and Lady GaGa.   Somehow they completely over looked Lady Bird, Lady Marmalade, Lady Di, Lady and The Tramp, Lady Luck, Lady Chatterley, Lady Godiva, Lady Jane, Lady In The Water,  Our Fair Lady.and the Little Old Lady From Pasadena.

Egyptian President Mubarak has finally resigned.  The only troubling part is that he has named Conan O’Brien has his successor.  Haven’t we seen this before?

I see where Ron Paul just won the CPAC straw poll for President. This is a group of conservative Republicans who get together every year to try to decide who to back for President.  The only other one in contention was Mr. Ed, the talking horse. It seems they were so accustomed to being in a room full of horse’s asses that they didn’t notice Mr. Ed was a real horse.

Speaking of Ron Paul. He is the new chairman of the House Financial Services Committee's subcommittee on monetary policy.  Ron wants to go back to the Gold Standard.  The problem with that is there isn’t enough gold on the planet to back up the paper we have printed.  Yeah, good luck with that Paul.  Next I think he wants to go back to black and white TV, he says color cost too much.   I wonder why Ron never talks about his half brother/sister RuPaul?  What’s up with that?

The rumors are flying that Bret Farve will be on “Dancing With The Stars” next season.  The hang up seems to be that Bret doesn’t want a partner but would prefer using just a pole.

Republican Congressman “Shirtless Christopher Lee” joins “Shoeless Joe Jackson”, “Brainless George W. Bush”, “Heartless Dick Chaney”, “Clueless Nancy Pelosi” and “Sleepless in Seattle” in the history books.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around ole “Shirtless Chris."  This guy is worth 20 to 30 million dollars and he has to go on Craig’s list to find a date?  I'm not sure who is more clueless, Chris or the kid who was just arrested in Florida that went on Face Book to find a hit man to kill his girlfriend.  Don’t they know how the internet works?

NBC's America's Got Talent was in town holding auditions for its hit show this weekend and  I missed it.  They had the auditions in the mornings.  Damn…. I do believe America’s Got Talent, unfortunately none of it is on that show.

Here is a tweet from Lindsay Lohan about the dress she wore to court. “What I wear to court shouldn’t be front page news. It’s just absurd.”   No, what is absurd is what you wore to court….

Today's good read is Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny.  Excellent writing and a good story.  If you like murder mysteries, you will very much enjoy this.
