Thanks to my new bud "Blog Whisperer"

I mentioned in a previous post, a poster that I encountered on AOL. I refered to them as my "blog whisperer"

Well, once again, they were in tune with my needs, because they provided me with some hella funny links.

First, we have something funny, courtesy of townhall.com, and Larry Elder. Larry is a conservative, and being of liberal leanings myself, I had a hard time trusting his opinions when I first read (part) of his book "Showdown : Confronting Bias, Lies, and the Special Interests That Divide America.

However, the more I read, and was seduced by his humourous, but matter-of-fact style, I had to give him credit. (And I have to order that book. I originally bought the hardcover version for only $1.00 at the supermarket. No, this isn't a typo, and sadly it underscores the lack of interest in true, solid information. Anyway, that book got ruined, so I need another).

But getting back to the point, you've got to read this article in this link here:

Did you have a hard time following it? That's the point. Read it again, and prepare for a great howl!

Next, we have something funnier, but mercifully at lot more simpler to read over here:

Talk about a picture saying a thousand words!!!

And talk about a timely picture at that, following my last post about cult leaders.

As If We Didn't Know...

Hillary, God bless her, isn't the most sly fox in the pack. As a matter of fact, she's not so good at cloaking the obvious, when it comes to her political manuverings. I mean, this is the same person that, when it was all but an acknowledged fact that she would run in 2008 for the presidency, denied, or rather begged off those ambitions.

No, she would gently chuckle to herself, her focus was serving the great Empire State (New York), and keeping her focus on her (lowly and meek) Senatorial duties. Nevermind that as a junior Senator, she was on all of the "right" (read: high powered) committees, and making trips to review the troops over in Afghanistan and Iraq (very stately, but pray tell, how did this serve the people in New York?).

Now, I read an article on Yahoo news, that states what anyone (should) already know; Hillary will take Barack Obama on her ticket as her Vice Presidential Candidate.

When I was a younger adult in the early 90s, we had a saying that went "As IF!"...as in 'As IF' she would have things any other way. Do any of us really see HER bowing down to a second-in-command spot on that ticket? "As IF"...as in 'as if' any other combination would deliver her the Whitehouse, the realization of a 30 plus year dream?

Does she really need to make a statement of intent, should she win the nomination? Come on, girl! While I find that her coquettish statements bordeline cute, they can be also as annoying as someone who has seen a movie, blurts out a line, and then lies about ever having seen the movie. (Come on, I know I'm not the only one who's encountered this person).

Hillary Clinton with anyone else as her running mate? As IF!

I Like My Cult Leaders Crazed And SECRETIVE

Lemme explain.

One day, I was sitting at my little, humble "desk" (okay, I confess, my TV tray that serves as a desk for my laptop, but I swear I'm getting one soon :p) , feeling very bummed out about the momentum of the Obama campaign. It seemed, as I read about his victories, and read the anti-Hilliary comments, that the American public YET AGAIN was missing the point. And not only were they missing the point, they were missing the peripheral atmosphere as well.

Well, in the midst of the bleeting, and 'baaaahing' from the "sheeple" (sheep+people=sheeple=average american voter), was this golden nugget of a comment. Finally, there was someone besides myself that had their eyes and mind engaged. Here is that AWESOME quote that I found courtesy of the comments section, located at the bottom of an article on AOL. I'm sorry that I didn't catch the poster's name, but I literally screamed out 'yeses' with such enthusiam, my neighbors probably thought the last thing I was doing was reading a political article:

"I am exhausted with this media-driven HYPE surrounding Obama. One would think we are having some ridiculous new TV reality show contest. This "media" tends to resemble to National Enquirer rather than real journalism, it is pathetic at best. We ought not to be looking for the next David Koresh, but the next leader of the United States of America. The fact that this rookie senator with a razor thin resume is being praised as the second coming is only telling of our collective, continued stupidity. I guess we really have learned nothing from the failures of George W. Bush."

It's like this person was able to not only cosmically tap into my mind, but also know that I would need their quote for a future blog posting...a 'blog whisperer' if you will. But they go on to bring the point on home:

"I think the media... has sold their soul to Obama. He is being pushed like the "veg-o-matic" by them. I get very leery when the news media hypes anything so hard. Remember the lead up to the Iraq War. "

Yes, I remember. We all remember, and so help us God, we as a country are living to regret it.

But you want to know the funny thing? We regretted it even a year after the fact. So did this country own up to its mistake like mature adults (are supposed) to? Naw, we re-elected the cult-leader George W. Bush AGAIN ! Now why do I call him a cult-leader? Well he has all of the characteristics of a cult-leader. Savior Complex, check. Numb-minded following, check. Nefarious intentions cloaked behind feel-good religious a.k.a 'good family values' rhetoric, check. Absolute 'black and white', 'my way or the highway', alienating, condeming, value system that fuels a machine that destroys any and all opposition, check, check, check.

But this isn't about George Dubya. No, this is about someone, something even far more dangerous then he, if that is at all possible. This is about "Obamamania", the new feel-good movement that is the fastest growing religion that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. Jim Jones, David Koresh, L. Ron Hubbard, and all the rest are foaming their mouths from their graves WISHING they had such a following of sheeple. Now those men wielded a lot of power over the minds, and lives of the sheeple in their flock, but the U.S. presidency? Never in their wildest, wacked out dreams!

Because these cult leaders were crazy, but certainly not stupid, they kept their movements secretive; these were basically "word of mouth" enterprises. I must admit that I never knew about these movements until after they were safely out of the way, and there was the appropriate public outcry. But somewhere, there must have been a copy of the Jonestown kool-aid recipe, because the sheeple have drank it, and indeed have spent the first part of the millenium in a hazed, brainless stupor. The sheeple have chosen by and large, to elevate this young, well-intentioned but out of his league Senator to a leader of cult status. Obamamania has swept the country, and the only requirement for conversion into this cult is one catchphrase spoken by its practioners: "CHANGE".

Never Say Die...A Life Lesson Courtesy Of Hillary Rodham Clinton

Arrogance is usually attributed to being a negative characteristic, but last night proved that it can be the boost that takes you to other 'other side' of a losing streak.

Hillary Rodham Clinton won the primary in my new home state of Texas. She REEEEEEALLY needed that win this state, along with Ohio, to stay alive. Now, I gave up on her after weeks of "Obamamania". But luckily for us, she didn't give up on herself, even when the waters got rough, and on the surface, it seemed as if she didn't have a chance in hell slowing down the opposition's momentum. Big life lessons abound for us all! Are you way too easily give up? Are you easily discouraged? Well, we only need to look to this shiny example of perservernce, because girlfriend knocked it out. When it looked like she was down for the count, she picked herself up off the formative 'mat', and came up swinging. Low-blows, yes, but still she used the weapons that she had, and when those didn't work, she created new weapons! You gotta love someone who will fight to the death, all bloodied and banged up.

You know, life itself will bang you up, and sometimes leave you feeling bloodies, and spent. But what Ms. Clinton reiterated for me, is that as long as you have breath of life in you, never give up, never say die, fight to the bitter end for what you desire, and what you belive in. Don't take "no" for an answer! Don't turn back around when you've come so far, just because there are a few roadblocks in your way. Find a way to bulldoze through those roadblocks, and keep the end-goal always in sight, always in the front of your mind. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
