Happy New Year!

No spouting about Cubby Blues

No snarky aging yarns

No long winters rant

Not even one simple snow complaint

No anti-global warming pirouette

No literary daggers tossed at Marxist hearts

No globalist conspiracy tales

Not even a simple feelgood fireside chat

I just called to give my message

Wishing all a Happy & Prosperous New Year!

And I mean it from the bottom of my scoundrely heart!

Illegal Immigrants Disappear from California Sanctuary City

Large amounts of sea lions, which for almost two decades had been clustered up on San Francisco docks, have mostly disappeared from within the city limits. This has many scientists and city officials puzzled as to the why and where they have disappeared. I have decided to point the finger at ACORN! It is my radical theory that ACORN workers, while probably attempting to use Chicago thug tactics- in an effort to register the Sea Lions to vote Democrat in the next elections, are behind the vanishing. This probably created increased tension among the sea lion population, as most, if not all, were illegal aliens inside the country without proper immigration papers. The ACORN created tension most likely scared them away from their dock dwellings and into hiding. The city of San Francisco has been long been known to be a sanctuary city stronghold for the sea lions – whom are notorious panhandlers living off visiting tourists and the taxpaying citizens of San Francisco. There has been no news about whether or not the sympathetic sanctuary city officials will run a comprehensive investigation into the possibility of illegal ACORN registration tactics in the incident – to see just how many sea lions they might have managed to register to vote. The situation makes me want to ask — Is this another in a long line of ACORN political indiscretions that government officials will turn a blind-eye towards?

Network Television – Endangered Species

Is the life of free Network Television dying an expensive death? There are many sources predicting the death of free TV by as soon as 2011. Maybe the demise could hold off until 2012, which would be kind of ominous, maybe even ironic to those that claim television as a blight on our culture. It is not as crazy as it may sound to those whom have never considered paying – for the costs of cable and/or satellite television signals.

As an AP article points out network television is bleeding greenbacks and not showing the quality profits as cable/satellite stations. Plus some cable/satellite stations like HBO, Showtime, USA Network, SYFY Network, Lifetime, MTV etc. have began to create their own original programming and movies. With the prodigious procreation of new cable/satellite only stations with a considerable amount of quality original programming- the available advertising dollars are spread thin. And cable/satellite stations are more creative in their selection of advertisers. I can remember 1-800 phone-sex advertising was common in the early 90’s on cable shows like the USA Up All Night with Rhonda Shear late night movie programming. Cable/satellite has also progressed (regressed?) to numerous 24 hour and late-night home-shopping programs; some even consist of selling adult themed sex toys. Trust me there is something a little unnerving, when you fall asleep in your La-z-boy rocker/recliner watching a family oriented television show and wake up to two hot babes selling forearm sized dildos on your 48″ HDTV. The cable/satellite channels have many more advertising sources to create revenue than are possible for standard broadcast television stations.

It was just about nine years ago when I got into a heated discussion over HDTV versus Standard Broadcasting TV signals, with an individual whom preached that broadcast television would always be available in standard format. I said at the time HDTV was a mandated signal switch by the Government and that stations would only broadcast in non-HDTV format as long as it was profitable. Many people told me – that I was talking crazy talk. I was talking reality that has now come to fruition. So when I read an article like the above AP story, where it claims that free network television may be going the way of the dinosaur, I tend to believe them. Companies need profit to operate and as sources of advertising revenue grow thinner – the weaker stations will die off. I suppose they could all apply for a government bailout or for endangered species protection from Obama.

Al Qaida Stakes Claim for Terror Attack

The media is reporting that Al Qaida is staking claim for the failed terrorist attack on a US jet over the Christmas holiday. I guess the Obama campaign assertion that the radical Muslim World would love us once he became POTUS can now be officially added to the ever-growing False Prophet campaign promises of Barack Obama. They don’t love us any more than they did when Bush2 was POTUS or any other POTUS for that matter. Big surprise? Not! This terrorist incident makes me an even less of a fan of bringing GITMO terrorists to live in Thomson Prison.  It could be, that Barack Obama and his groupy followers in Illinois Politics, whom want to bring terrorists inside Illinois borders,  are even dumber than a box of rocks?

Brave New World – Compliments of Team Obama

Children of the United States may continue to suffer basic reading, writing and mathematic skills -that make them competitive in a global economy- but under the Team Obama administration, they can expect advanced pedophilia indoctrination in becoming pedophile victims and advanced porn star techniques. In another article about Obama “Safe?” School Czar, Kevin Jennings, author Jim Hoft exposes more information about Jennings past work with young school children. He posts a portion of an “educational” pamphlet that the Jennings managed organization had handed out to seventh graders. In it dildo/sex toy usage, tips on the sexual practice of rimming and instructions about how to inject themselves with sex changing hormones are included. At a time when kids are most vulnerable and should be playing with Barbie and Ken dolls -not sex toys, should be learning how to calculate math problems not advanced sexual deviancy practices and at an age where they are at the earliest stages of social interaction and easily confused by sexual predators, our “safe” school czar was busy indoctrinating the youth on how to become pedophile victims and future porn stars. Our mainstream media continue to ignore the story. They are all probably too busy interviewing top-level Team Obama/Kevin Jennings approved school advisors such as Heywood JaBlome, Harry Bush, Heywood Jafugger  and Ben Dover. The Team Obama Brave New World continues to march forward.

The Heywood JaBlowme News Factor

Over the weekend one of the local newspapers – the Quad City Times – fell asleep at the wheel. While doing a feelgood article about feeding the needy –a good thing in this bloggers opinion- the reporter was given a lesson in humility, by someone eating at the location where the reporter was interviewing. For reasons known only to that individual, the person gave his name as “Heywood JaBlomie”. Now for most of us the unusual name would have caused red warning lights to start flashing in our heads and immediately suspect ourselves the victim of some practical joke. Evidently that was not the case for the Quad City Times reporter. Nor did it seem to send up any red flags with the Quad City Times photographer, the editing staff or printing staff. The story set on the Quad City Times web site for some time and even garnered several jokes from QC Times readers about the “Heywood Jablome” name before it was reworked, corrections made and even the original comments removed. It was a funny gag. Until you consider that these are our constitutionally protected watchdogs of business and government.

(QC Examiner has the low down on the original story.)

I do not know whether the reporter was inept, naïve, handed an assignment she was disinterested in or just too busy flashing winks at some possible love connection while doing this story. What happened to the normal checks and balances to assure accuracy in the story? And how does the Quad City Times – or any other media source- expect to be taken as serious news professionals when something like this makes it past all the moneymakers paid to make sure the reporter did her job correctly. Any real fault lies at the feet of those Big Chiefs. Which brings me to the rant of the day.

Where are our watchdogs? When a media team allows such an obvious poke-in-the-eye, as- hey would you blow me, to make it into print – you begin to understand how a well oiled propaganda machine, like Team Obama, can continue to easily slide their Marxist agenda into the mainstream of politics and business. Many of our watchdog media already worship Team Obama Marxism. And too many of the rest are just sleeping or hiding from White House sponsored attacks on the media, as the Team Obama Marxists keep implementing their agenda. Heck Team Obama has even had the audacity to use a Christmas ornament adorned with the picture of Communist China’s Chairman Mao Zedong as part of the White House Christmas trimming. I guess our watchdogs were to busy entertaining Ben Dover from the White House to take notice of communism rooting itself on the White House Christmas tree.

Team Obama Pushed Around by Chinese

Wowser – it sounds like Team Obama forgot to eat their Cheerios for breakfast in Copenhagen! In a scheduled meeting between Prez Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao – Chinese camera crew filled up the conference room. The room was then blocked off by Chinese security. The security then refused to let US media in to the meeting. They were not even going to allow in Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and National Security Council Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. Oops – how embarrassing for Team Obama! Gibbs and McDonough finally managed to squeeze into the room and drag in a single cameraman with them. It is good to see that Nobel Prize Winner and US President, Barack Obama, commands so much respect   from Team China. Sounds like it is time for Team Obama and his press disciples to hit the weight room and beefup before their next conference with China.

Cub Fans – Got Those Milton Bradley Blues

Well it is almost Christmas. Baseballs winter meetings have ended and Chicago Cub fans around the world are expecting a lump of coal in their Cubby Blue Christmas Stockings hung by the chimney with care. When I read Cubby Blogs and Forums  across the World-Wide Internet I enter with high expectations of hope and leave spiraling downwards in despair. The Cub Team expectations going into the 2009 were high, yet Cub fans feel let down since the Cubs did not make the playoffs – despite having a winning record. Me too! Though I am not as down in the dumps as others. Call me the ultimate optimist – or maybe I just wear my beer goggles (well in my case Mt. Dew Goggles) when it comes to evaluating the Cubs – but I still like the chances of the 2010 Cubs getting back to the playoffs. The year of 2009 was a year when multiple Cub players had unseasonably bad years. Plus key injuries hampered many of the players the whole season. I think part of the Cub Fan’s  offseason doldrums can be pointed to the –> What do you do with Milton Bradley Question. And for you non-baseball fans I am not talking board games here.

I was not a big fan of the original signing of Milton Bradley. He is very talented but, he has a history of heavy thunderstorm clouds following him from team to team. The 2009 season was no different. His negative presence on the team was  evident. Still Jim Hendry signed him for multiple years and now the team has the tough decision of either finding him a new home, gambling that his talent with a bat -missing most of last year-  will return and help the team more than his temper tantrums hinder the team or simply releasing him.

I am not big on spending all that money and simply releasing the man.  I also think that the winter meeting displayed that trading him will be difficult, unless the team is willing to pay another team the majority of Bradley’s salary – to take him off the Cubs’ hands.  I do not like that option either. That leaves door number three – keeping him on the team.

Despite all his personal baggage Bradley is talented and could help the 2010 Cubs team if the brass gives the man a distemper shot. You sit his pouty butt on the bench with his nose in the corner and tell him to grow up! Since the team is  going to have to pay his wages -no matter what option they choose-  make him earn them from sitting on the Cubs bench as a role player. If he matures enough to earn an everyday spot – great! If he does not then go to the next plan. If he is disruptive to the team – suspend him and his fat salary. If he is only semi-productive by midseason another team in the playoff hunt will be more willing to make a deal for his bad boy keister. At least the Team gets some bang for the buck without paying his whole salary to play for another team.

That is my 2009  post-season Cubby rant.

Merry Christmas!

The year of Cub Bradley in review:

Signed to multi year deal!

Issues early on in April!

June – explosive confrontation with not so Sweet-Lou Pinella!

Suspended for rest of the season!

As of this date – Hendry fails at playing lets make a deal!

Update 12/18 2009: it is being reported that Bradley has been traded for pitcher Carlos Silva! Ouch!

Global Warming – Power Play Politics – Fear Mongering and ConsPiracy

The Climate Gate scandal surrounding the Global Warming Fear Mongers attempts to suppress opposition – continues to grow.

Obama worshiping leftwing media and groups display US Tea Party protestors as violent radicals, despite the actual violence during their protests are coming from leftwing groups like another Obama brownshirt group – SEIU. Meanwhile the same leftwing media sources play down the widespread violence caused by leftwing groups at the climate talks taking place in Copenhagen. Despite the fact that hundreds of protestors have become violent and had to be arrested, CNN’s Phil Black called the protests “reasonably” low-level!

Prosperous and new industrial countries like China are demanding other leading industrial countries like the US pony up multiple billions of dollars to help them clean up their pollution. However they have no intent to really reduce their pollution.  While Team Obama officials are overseas seeking to give away those billions of taxpayer dollars that the US does not have to promote and prop-up the Global Warming scare.

Political friends and foes alike say for Team Obama to actually commit to a binding climate treaty -without first getting 2/3 Senate approval- would cause Obama to violate the US Constitution. Still it seems that Obama is looking for a way to circumvent the Constitution and sign a binding treaty.

Meanwhile former Minnesota Governor, Jesse “The Body” Ventura and friend of Al Gore, spent an hour on his new TRU TV show –Conspiracy Theory- revealing various suspicious individuals behind the global warming panic. Team Ventura talked with skeptics of Global Warming that confirmed the Climate Gate information about the harassing of individuals and squashing of information that conflicted with the pro Global Warming movement. One individual claimed he had gone in to hiding – for his personal safety. They also pointed fingers at a couple of United Nations officials that were behind the current scare tactics. One was a Canadian, Maurice Strong, whom has gone into hiding in China following his part in a past UN scandal. Supposedly Strong is also been helping the Chinese government profit from the carbon foot print scams that allow businesses to claim they are operating “Green”, while also being big time polluters of the environment. That sure makes sense of China’s grumbling and dodging proposals that they actually reduce their “carbon footprints”. Team Ventura went as far as suggesting that Strong is part of an even deeper ConsPiracy seeking global power by using the UN to bilk countries out of money with this global warming scare.

I do not know how much of the  “global warming” conspiracy is factual. I do believe that their is a lot of Cons-Piracy involved in the global warming scare tactics. I also believe “some” evidence displays there has probably been some global warming. However, I have not been presented with any evidence that makes me scream, “oh my, the sky is falling” and it is all mankind’s fault. Since Obama seems intent of tossing US money into this rattrap, I suggest Congress pass a resolution that allows Team Obama to offer each of the developing countries up to 100 US dollars to go towards their carbon footprint cleaning, plus a hearty atta-boy sucker to those that choose to commit to the Copenhagen global warming scare tactics.  That is dependent upon their ability to prove that they have met whatever goals the Copenhagen group decides is appropriate for all nations. However I see no reason for the US to currently commit to any treaty or conditions that hampers our economy and requires us to pay billions upon billions of dollars to other countries to cleanup their house. As I have said before – let them cleanup their own back yards.
