Guess Who Didn't Get Enough Mommy?

Cheney and Limbaugh are acting like whiney little babies.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday he no longer views Colin Powell as a Republican.

Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation," Cheney was asked about a dispute between Powell — who was secretary of state in the Bush-Cheney administration — and radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh over the role each plays in the GOP.

"My take on it was Colin had already left the party," Cheney said. "I didn't know he was still a Republican."

I'm sick of them pouting!

Looking for inspiration to lose weight?

It may be worth taking a look at the results of a report in latest issue of the International Journal of Epidemiology.

The study concludes that being overweight or obese “should be recognized as an environmental problem” because of its contribution to climate change from additional food and transport emissions.

Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine found that a lean population, like the Vietnamese, consume about 20 percent less food and produce fewer greenhouse gases than a population in a country like the United States, where about 40 percent of people are obese.

The authors also found that transport emissions will be significantly less in countries with healthy average body weights because it takes less energy to transport slim people.

Can't Somebody Put Him Back In A Wheelchair And Roll Him Down The Stairs

We're hearing more from him now than we did in 8 years. WHY????

The former vice president Dick Cheney is slamming President Obama’s efforts to set a new tone for relations with the U.S. on the world stage.

“I guess I’ve been concerned the way that we’ve been presented overseas,” Cheney told Fox News host Sean Hannity Monday night. Cheney said he found it “disturbing” that the new president had gone overseas and seemingly apologized for past actions of the United States. “I think you have to be very careful. The world outside there — both our friends and our foes –will be quick to advantage of a situation if they think they’re dealing with a weak president or one who’s not going to stand up and aggressively defend America’s interests.

“The United States provides much of the leadership in the world. We have for a long time. I don’t think we’ve got much to apologize for.”

Another one who just can't shut up ...

A major UN anti-racism conference already wounded by the boycott of nine Western countries, opened Monday with the buzz of anticipation for a speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – the only head of state who accepted an invitation to attend.

Mr. Ahmadinejad, who has referred to the Holocaust as a "myth" and called for Israel to be "wiped off the map," assailed the West for supporting the creation of the Jewish state after the atrocities of World War II.

"Under the pretext of Jewish suffering, they have helped bring to power the most oppressive, racist regime in Palestine," he said, to loud applause from Iranian activists in the gallery and pockets of headscarved Muslim women on the floor. "They have always been silent about their crimes."

With that, the 23 European Union countries who had not yet boycotted the conference abandoned their seats and streamed out of the hall, which was met by a smattering of more applause.

Dumb Ass!

Shakesville: Quote of the Day

"I may run for president of Texas. That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state."—Chuck Norris, future president of Texistan, where choking a political opponent will not be considered a liability, but evidence of sufficient manliness to lead the nation.

Can We Pleeeese Retire The Watermelon Jokes?

I agree with this guy. They are beyond old and never were funny!

Anyway, it's Friday and I ran across this hilarious article about the Mayor of Los Alamitos. Mister Mayor sent out an email to a few friends that suggest the White House won't have an Easter Egg hunt this year. See, Dan Grose, the Mayor of Los Alamitos believes the White House will be overrun by watermelons because Obama is president and he's black and that's funny. And I think that's hilarious!

How long can the watermelon joke carry its punch? It's been nearly a century, no? Folks, find some new racist material! Two, what idiot believes watermelon is indigenous to black people?! It's a southern delicacy, you idiots. It migrated north and west when black people from the SOUTH migrated and brought their culinary tastes. But what's even funnier is that the Mayor of Alamitos decided to resign. He realizes the watermelons were in bad taste. Can you imagine an idiot like Grose sitting at home, listening to Rush Limbaugh, hating that he lost his job, but feeling justified for his email joke because, well, black people eat watermelons and that's just so so fricking funny.

When I was in high school, I went on a girl scout trip to Texas and Mexico. At the beginning of the trip, I stayed with a white hospitality family. When dinner was ready, one of them said "we have watermelon!" So, I smiled politely and said "okay." In my 14 year old mind, I was wondering why they seemed so excited about watermelon ... It took me a few years to get the drift ...

This Is Just Downright Frightening!

What are people supposed to do?

A slew of American heavyweight companies, including Caterpillar, Pfizer, Sprint Nextel, Home Depot and General Motors, announced cuts Monday adding up to 45,000 jobs lost. What's more, a group of business economists predicted many more job losses in the year ahead.
