Try, Try, Try to Understand...He's a Magic Man, Mama

there ain't no pleasing some of you is there? I quote Heart here because you firebaggers/teagressives/progbaggers all believe you "hired" a magic man come november of 08. Worse, a lot of you believed because he is an African-American, you "hired" "Buck, the Wonder Pres." See there is a great movie called "Bowfinger" (as I thank you for the digression but I WILL tie it together) Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin Two great comics that are twice as funny together...Eddie plays a superstar action hero AND his dimwitted brother. The Superstar yells at his agent about how black actors can't get an oscar unless they are a slave or "retarded". The character "Kit" opines how his agent should find him a script where he's a "retarded" slave. (pp) "Go out there and look for 'Buck, The Wonder Slave"

How it chaps the hides of Jane Hamster (yes janie poo, I am one of the dumbest motherfuckers in the world) and her wanna be boy toy Cerk Uyoff (if Cenk Uygur is pronounced 'Jenk Yooger' you can imagine how Cerk Uyoff is pronounced) that as a liberal i have no use for a defaulting elf who has designs on making the country default like he did Cleveland. I also am not about a 70 year old socialist who been running up that hill for fifty years. The treads are damn near off that tire.

Of course, for years I have asked the reich wing have they no shame, can they look at themselves in the mirror? Can they? I think they can. Not because I have found an admiration for them, No because they see something they believe is wrong no matter how twisted their logic and they end up doing what is to be done. They vote they organize...on the left we bitch. We advocate our own "teach" Obama a lesson...now you're crying about Tea baggers and shit like that....SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!! YOU sat on your ass, YOU sipped your latte whilst Rome burned, YOU voted for a damn third party that you KNEW had less than a snowballs chance in hell...to get the fucking teabagging Rand Paul type in office...Now you want to accuse ME of drinking the koolaid?

Well guess what Firebagger/teagressive/progbagger, I'm done with you. You have joined the list of a certain half term Governor, and you beat out Bat Boy's spawn. I frankly have NO use for you and your's and If i see FIREDOGLAKE on any profile of yours I promise you will be deleted because we will no longer have a damn thing in common and the strange thing is, I have Red staters in my ring of friends. But if they ever follow the bullshit of Cerk and janiepoo hamster I am done. I need you assholes in my life like i need hemmorhoids

We are Spirits, In the Material World, Are spirits, In the Material World...

so between posts whose titles quote the Dixie Chicks, Edwyn Collins and Cee-Lo Green, I have become a pearl to a lot of my fellow lefties oyster ie an irritant. I am too mean, it almost sounds like a right wing, I am surely drinking the kool aid, no i am snorting the kool aid...good! As ole Blue stated in a response to a post I am tired of being nice, of being calm, cool and collected, and then due to lines and misinformation and piss poor press, giving the worlds greatest concession speeches.

I point at some of the old school lefties that have watched the character assassination over 40+ years and still maintain the "Pollyanna" attitude. Look I too want us to debate issues, I too am sick of ad hominem attacks, also sick of red herrings but I really am sick of hearing great ideas pissed on because "we're to nice and classy to 'go there' and be like the GOP". Ad hominems don't piss me off as bad as a lefty that sees the bullshit then continues to vomit out sunshine and unicorns, and THEY only piss me off a little less than the teagressives.

WAKE UP Lefties, this isn't a case being nice. Our president is under a siege every god damned day! If you want me to start hugging trees and laughing at these seditious republicans, then damn it get on board and understand no less than our country is at state. The time for nice should have passed at McGovern. We have heard all of our lives that "the left is soft on defense" REALLY? who won WWII? And which right winger made the ballsy move to end the war in Japan? Which Right winger made the moves needed to make in 1918 during WWI? Which Right winger crapped and pissed himself to get out of Vietnam? (Ted Nugent). Which Right winger kept us safe from terrorism? Cause if old Blues memory serves, a certain "Muslim" president called the Taliban "the moral equivilent of our founding fathers" St. Ronnie of Eureka in case i have to remind.

I don't want anyone to do anything illegal or untoward to anyone. We will do things the correct way, get legally pissed off but dammit y'all DO get mad. the debt ceiling is simply a red herring to fuck over our president and some of you are busy worried about Bernie and the elf that screwed Cleveland or you're worried about BHO being "Bushbama" or for God's sake worried about a short order cook being to mean, STOP! Stop the clueless act! My old man used to say "I didn't get to be 60 by being stupid" Well, I gotta figure that's true about us too. Stop pretending shit's fine our country is in peril and we need to pull our shit together!

I see you running on down the Pres I love, I'm like FUCK YOU!

I keep hearing how badly we need the teagressives on our side. How we need their intelligence and their views to aid us in helping PBHO to help guide us out of the Bush imposed forest of debt and war and bullshit from 2001-09. Oh, we on the left need these people because they helped PBHO get elected in the first place and they will help us in 12 retain this great and good man as president. OH the progbaggers will be so willing not to allow us to hear the grating sound of the words "President Bat Boy's Spawn"....

I call BULLSHIT! I consider progbaggers to be worse than the reich wing. I know what frankly to expect from the reich wing. I know their racist tactics. I know their history of misinformation, I know that historically we on the left have cleaned their mess and 30 years later they will put their incompetence on display and blame the president from 30 years earlier. In the 70's inflation was actually Roosevelts fault. When Bush W had his economic downfall it wasn't tax guts, stimulus' and two inflated wars...it was Clinton.

I see a current President in a thankless situation and right at the moment I also see people forgetting what was stated in November of 08 "We are the change we need to be" (pp) Nope damn near from the outset these teagressive/progbaggers have had buyers remorse and begged for an old socialist (while crying McCain was to old but they sure love them some Bernie Sanders born 8 September 1941) or an elf that screwed a major American city (Cleveland, being the first major US city to default) but he can run an entire country...RIIIIIIIIIGHT (thank you Bill Cosby)Thanks, but no thanks to Kucinich.

Yes we need the teagressives my ass. We need people to be critical and look if they have the mental ability, and have more than 22% of people that proclaim themselves liberal to get off their historically lazy ass and vote! We need Teagressives as badly as apparently we needed Pakistan to be our ally in the war on terror as they were hiding bin Laden.

I understand some Proggers will be pissed at me, I mean you're so damned smart and I am not. I am merely a middle aged college student and short order cook. I don't have the intelligence to grasp the issues with your nuanced viewpoint that you have had all of 28 months to formulate it's not like the mess hasn't been made over and over in the past say 80 years.

I'm Not Ready to Make Nice, I'm Not Ready to Back Down. I'm Mad as Hell and I Don't have Time to go Round and Round and Round

"I'm John Boehner, I am the speaker of the House of representatives" That was the only two truths spoken by Representative Boehner. Oh sure technically there was truth in his cry for bi partisan bill of course the bi partys were blue dogs that are DINO but this is a case of speaking within the letter of the law but not the spirit.

I have witnessed no great president in my life. I have no FDR to look at, I have no Truman that inspired me and I believe that BHO WILL be that man. Like any president that looks to improve the country he catches hell that idiots tend not to. It's amazing we would rather have a president we could drink a beer with or go fishing with as opposed to the smartest guy in the room. I have never seen such blatant disrespect for a president when Bush would stutter through a Presser, When St. Ronnie of Eureka would say "Well....", even while robbing us blind Nixon would say "I'm Not a Crook"....the only times you had a rebuttal of what the POTUS would say is The Weekly Radio Address or after the State of the Union address. Now, we see not only the rebuttal from the GOP on the most recent SOTU we also see the batshit crazy rebuttal from the seditious play known as the "Tea Party". Now last night POTUS states we need to work together and if we go on this facade of "shared sacrifice" then we all have to dig down deep and make it happen including the millionaires and billionaires. Then The weeper of the house demands equal time to spew his untruths and the whines "I didn't sign up to go Mano a mano with the President" NO you didn't IF you were an American you were elected to work WITH the president but since you're a neo grand wizard you expected BHO to roll over with the wonder that is you Mr. Weeper. Yes, I am going there. I know your type sir, it frosts your balls that the black man is the smartest man in the room. You can't do what daddy did in Ohio with Jim Crow oh no, you have to listen and work with the man.


As we see under the last democrat president, your party ruined the threat of impeachment and I figure whatever happens with the debt ceiling you bitches will also impeach PBHO. you've already thrown it out there. See I have to believe that there will be a justice done in 2012. So guess what bring it out GOP and all you Kochsuckers, I have been bitter but playing nice, but now me and Natalie Maines are laying it on the line

This old town's changed so much, Don't feel like I belong...

I was there. I saw the day it happened. When the news shifted from facts of the day to it's present state of tabloid sensationalizing. To the point of lazy journo ethics....yes I was there that day. Now I won't reveal myself as Lucifer as The Rolling Stones did. No no Old Blue was then Young Blue. I had just walked my dog around the block and when I had got back in the news had broken, Elvis Presley was dead. He was my favorite uncles' favorite singer. Now Uncle Jerry had passed 3 years before but before he did, he had turned Young Blue onto Elvis. To me this was actually a double blow almost like I had another death in the family. Now, every night we watched Channel 7 Action News then we switched to channel 2 to watch Walter Cronkite. There was something President Carter did, and something that the house and senate were showing the opposite of progress IS Congress....Then Mr. Cronkite mentioned Elvis. It was his third story. It was appropriate for the times. you got the hard news the news that mattered THEN did you get the celebrity obit. Well the outrage that Walter received for daring to not make Elvis his top story was unprecedented. Granted Elvis was Rock n roll to a generation but he was merely a celebrity we have real hard news to get too....

I relate that tale to get to this one. Someone went to a Norwegian government building and bombed it, then he turned around and went to a childrens camp and shot up kids. over 80 kids were killed...and for a day we never knew the name of Anders Behring Breivik. We heard he's a right wing pig, we hear he's getting his information from the unabomber, he fell in love with the rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck...but we didn't know his name or why for fucks sake would he blast away at kids. BUT we sure as hell knew what we were doing the second we heard Amy Winehouse was found dead. As a recovering soul myself I DO feel for her, I have wrote about my struggles and some I have noticed about some people but while her passing is sad Mostly for her family and perhaps some ardent fans, the weekend really should have been more about finding out about the sick fucker Anders Breivik.

I put the lazy journo ethics on...US. we no longer demand news. We have had a generation of overgrown kids that say "ohhhh the news depresses me I can't watch it" or they can't tell you one bill that Reid sponsors but because they watch Fox news keeping it "exciting" they know that it's "wrong for America".  My own pal was telling me that "you gotta admit Fox keeps news exciting"...and it is that attitude that tells you why journalists no longer exist in the US. All you have is commentators and idealogues. There are no more Journalists that dig for the truth, that do give a shit about our country. Whether they are on the right OR left, they go for the easy story instead of digging beneath the surface. In my English Comp classes they demand I go deeper than the surface, we do not hold our own journalists or politicians to that same ideal.

There is no liberal bias in the media Jon Stewart was right. There IS a sensationalistic bias,,,and i witnessed the day it happened and when young Blue heard that Cronkite caught hell, I went into my bedroom and played my old "You Can Hear It Now" albums my mother had from Edward R. Murrow to remind me who and what in life was important

it's all just a little bit of history repeating...

Just a week ago it seems like such a long time ago but that was before the whole News Corp mess came up where it looks like Rupert Murdoch was ready to join his kindred soul William Randolph Hearst in Hell. It appears that News of the World was taking phone messages from a poor dead murder victim and clearing messages so they could get that scoop and that is the tip of the iceberg. Hugh Grant, Jude Law have come out and it appears that it will stretch to 9/11 victims and all the way to Australia. Halllelujah! We caught the rat bastard Murdoch....

But, let's put that champagne back on ice. Going back almost 40 years, the republican party was fighting for it's very survival after the Watergate scandal. Nixon had to actually resign the presidency, Ford was the guy you liked as your neighbor to share a beer and talk sports and work on your car with...but was he really entrusted to run the country? All it took was Jimmy Carter to be a little to forward thinking for the country and the republican party came back in a sick reinvention and it culminated with the reign of error that was the shrub.

Just a week ago i mentioned the sad story of Lynddie England and her disgusting photos at Abu Ghraib...Terrell Prior at Ohio State and Mark McGwire and Major League Baseball...Murdoch has his flunkie now. Given the interpretation of the Patriot Act and some slick lawyering, what makes anyone think that Murdoch is in any fear whatsoever? He has all but renounced his Australian citizenship so he really doesn't give a shit about what happens there. Like I stated last week, ALL the above mentioned should bare their crosses in these various messes. England is no saint for taking pictures of prisoners in vulnerable positions, McGwire, Bonds, Clemens et al, need to be accountable for their steroid intake, Prior needs to be accountable for his actions at THE Ohio State University and Rebekkah Brooks needs to take her medicine in this News Corp scandal.

But if you think Murdoch, who has his grubby fucking claw in the worlds number one media market, with the number one station, preaching his very special brand of hate harm and discontent is worried? Recent history is on the side of him crying all the way to the bank.

Here we are, born to be kings, we're the princes of the universe...

Open the link. I dare you. After 30+ years of setting themselves up as the defender of the Constitution, the end of be all of American Liberty and Freedom, finally proof that the Reich wing really thinks of the Constitution as the words of George W. Bush says...."A Goddamn piece of paper". Toilet tissue to be more precise.

See it IS easy to swear to uphold the Constitution when your party has raped it and left it for dead. Did Blue just go there? Hell yes. I am aware that usage of the term rape is a powerful one and disgusting and violent and crude. The thing is it is also factual.

Yertle the turtle (as Mitch McConnell is known from this day forward) is suggesting that we the American people, who put his sorry ass into office, who elected his alleged icon St. Ronnie of Eureka, whose ancestors put in the greatest president in history FDR are now incapable of making the simple decision of who we want to run this country. Now to Blue it has been obvious since 1980 that a lot of his fellow citizens are horses asses that don't read and need their news and history in small bite sized morsels so they can continue feeding their fat asses with McDonalds and Taco Bell but to see this and know that there are still some idiots that will back Yertle and i will lay good money get this asshole re-elected baffles the ever loving shit out of me. HEY RED, Yertle told you you're an idiot and his infinite wisdom in re writing the Constitution is all that will save you! He claims "Elections don't work" Well if you're using 2000 as a barometer, we sure as HELL know it didn't work then. I mean that was a clusterfuck from the word go. 2004 was shady but as much we knew in our guts something was up there wasn't clear cut proof that Cheney and Rove stole that election, yet in 2008, with a clear majority (not quite a landslide but sizable enough that John McBush er Cain conceded before midnight eastern time) BHO was elected president...NOW elections don't work you know yertle fuck you! seriously fuck you and the horse you rode in on!

The Constitution has worked just fine for 222 years in spite of you bastards and guess what, it will outlive you! You want a balanced budget amendment? Fine, stop fucking your country and get a workable budget. this is the Bluest Blue has been in a long time. You want to play your reindeer games with my money, you want to misinform the public? Fine, that's the outhouse that is USA politics. You want to further use MY Constitution as your personal shit paper...well sir, that's one hornet's nest that is not a wise one to stir.

You can tell everyone i'm a down disgrace, drag my name all over the place I don't care anymore!

The more I know the less I want to. My fellow liberals are all tied up over the fact that BHO called the GOP on their bluff about the debt ceiling. It was a calculated gamble but he knows that to make our president look bad they will on the right stick to their agenda. He even knew some dyed to the wool lefties would crap their drawers over just mentioning the words he mentioned. He offered cuts to social security. IN RETURN, the bush cuts to the higher income people have to be ceded. Knowing what he knew he took the republicans, bent them over his knee and spanked their ass candy apple red.

of course panicky liberals even lead by moveon.org, wet themselves over this game of chicken. "I will never contribute to Obama's campaign again!" "How could you Mr. President?" are about the two nicer things I heard about Obama's "audacity". Comparing him to the shrub and of course the general racist crap the worst. Some of you "disheartened" liberals KNEW that Obama was the smartest man in the room yet when the chips were down...you scurried like rats. Hasn't living more than say 30 years taught some of you morons to look under the shiny surface? NO you heard "SACRED COW TOUCHED EEEEEK!"  and when some of you idiots saw what he did, did you cowards apologize for the inflammatory shit you wrote? NO! None of you even acknowledged that he played a low risk, high reward move to show what dicks the republicans have been over this whole budget crisis. Again, Progbaggers or teagressives (take your pick tools) i have no use for you, you sold out to the kochsuckers in december of 08 and you bore me, but some good libs that panicked in a heartbeat YOU disappoint me. I know 'who the hell is Blue?" and I concede I AM nobody but another US liberal that understands yes politics is politics and to make a point you have to 'double dog dare' and I thought we on the left were the smart ones, the non reactionary ones. No we are as knee jerk as the insult of the 70's implies and I am a left winger pointer this out to you.

Again, as move on says move on, understand that BHO knows what he's doing and either get on board or don't but stop the knee jerk overreaction and like BHO said...be the change we need to be!

Show Me a Hero, I'll Show You a Bum

I apologize for the delay of about 3 weeks. Life outside of the blog has interfered with me and I will try to be more diligent.

Terrell Pryor formerly of THE Ohio State University broke some rules and in Columbus, Ohio he is treated as a criminal. Jim Tressel the former coach of THE Ohio State University broke rules and lied to the NCAA and in Columbus, Ohio he's a conquering hero. Maybe it was his 9-1 record versus the University of Michigan, maybe it was his Number 1 in the Bowl Championship series in 2001 who knows...

Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa allegedly took steroids and enhanced their performance. With their bobblehead looks and sometimes questionable attitudes, it's tough to argue against that allegation...Yet in 1998 the commissioner of baseball Bud Selig, okayed a baseball promotional ad that claimed "Chicks dig the long ball". One of the effects of steroids is that one can continue to work out when their bodies should be resting. This is due to artificial testosterone being replaced into ones body. Now why the head grows it's a mystery to me, but while the testicles shrink makes perfect sense but that's neither here nor there. Bonds, McGwire, Clemens and Sosa while greats of their era won't be able to get to the  Hall Of Fame without a ticket, while the architect of the proliferation of the Steroid Era will be forever immortalized by...doing nothing!

Lyndie Englund and many of her cohorts were pictured putting Muslim prisoners in positions that were insulting to their faith. They were put into humiliating positions and had those pictures taken for posterity or a friggin joke. Englund and her lower level ilk caught hell...Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush live off their retirement funds.

Do I excuse Pryor and the rest? No, they did do wrong and of course my point in this blog is accountability. But the way Blue was raised by his old man (a Roosevelt democrat thank you) You have to accept your errors because whatever punishment you get trust me the person above you is getting deeper shit than you are. Sorry Dad, from what it has been proven for a while, what with Golden Parachutes for failed financial executives and coaches and commissioners playing dumb and chief executives never hearing of "Abu Ghraib" tells me that you were sadly wrong. It makes a middle aged guy wonder how one day he will tell his future charges the happy horseshit of being accountable when it appears that if you're middle class or below you get screwed and your boss just because he (and lets not kid ourselves it will be HE) gets a pat on the back and maybe keys to the city.

It isn't a race or gender thing, it's a perceived class thing. Them that got, gets. Until some of my red friends that do have a lick of sense realize that things they were taught ain't being put into practice then its only gonna get worse.
