Colbert Report Full Episodes Political Humor Economy

Can you imagine Old Moose Juice meeting heads of state, shaking hands with them and leaving backwards crib notes on their sweaty palms? Wow, that sure is Pro-Fessional. And much to my amusement, Colbert's clip just shows us yet again {as if we doubted} that Sarah is a dingbat. And when I say that I mean, She is not smart enough to run a three legged race much less the country.

Hand-O-Prompter! That is funny. Why I suppose if she used a teleprompter, that would make her stupid?

Mole Hill Construction

When you need something blown all out of proportion, call the professionals! So anyone as sick as I am about that whole theory that Obama is slamming Las Vegas in his speeches? You notice that Atlantic City people didn't get all up on their hind legs.

Gambling, especially gambling in Vegas is a famous story line to a lot of rags-to-dumpster stories out there. But you know the increasing disconnect between the very wealthy and the working poor really highlights this conversation.

Poor people do not spend their money the way rich people do. To us {cause I grew up profoundly poor} getting rich happens due to an act of god. You know like the same way in which insurance companies refuse to cover some item {house, car etc.,} due to an act of god. It's literally a *crap shoot.

When poor people need money fast, they have a variety of choices to improve their *lot in life. Thought none of them are slow and steady like a savings account. Thats because they have so little left over after buying groceries, bills, etc., that there is nothing to save.

So you go to a Payday loan place
you max out your credit card
You borrow money from authentic loan sharks
you put things in hock {pawn shop}
buy lottery tickets
or
Gamble what little cash you have in Vegas.

Obama, having *ACTUALLY worked with people who are poor {as opposed to people who make just shy of 250,000. a yr} has seen this directly. He has no doubt actually heard the sob stories of newly divorced women who left their idiot husbands for gambling away a month's rent--and how they had to live with their children in some roach motel or a homeless shelter for a year.

Enter Las Vegas. Sure they have been trying to make a more family friendly image for themselves to boose the number of people vacationing there. But the fact is, that recent MOVIES, and commercials---"What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas," "Leaving Las Vegas,"
"Honeymoon in Vegas" etc., help make this image.

Vegas is strapped for cash. Its still part of America, but Vegas is now competing with local Indian Gaming Casinos that have popped up all over the U.S. People no longer have to drive exclusively to Vegas to gamble. They also have Atlantic City among other places.

Nevada had a huge housing boom and now it has imploded. There are tent cities there now. People who 5 years ago never imagined themselves homeless and destitute--people we would not have imagined that way--living hand to mouth. And now Nevada is desperate to jump start its economy just like every other state in the union.

But the fact still remains. That this is primarily a party destination, a gambling destination, a place to visit legal prostitutes. And people do not generally spend their money that way when tight, except for those who are taking one last desperate chance to make it big--or throw themselves out a window in a hotel when they dont.

The rest of us understandably frown on folks who gamble their rent money out from underneath their kids. Honestly I don't believe that Vegas should attack Obama over common sense.

Vegas should focus primarily on attracting overseas traffick to their tourist sites and stop beating up Americans for not having the money to spend on luxury items like expensive hotel rooms, wads of chips, or hookers. That is the big naked elephant in the room wearing glittery pasties.


And Republicons--should focus on re-instituting regulatory legislation on the housing/mortgage market, on banks and loan officers rather than digging for more dirt to add to this stupid mole hill.

I am so tired to living in STUPID AMERICA.

I will be so glad when we can DROP THE STUPID.

So--I reiterate: When you are poor, or strapped for cash--GAMBLING IS DUMB. I realize I am not the president, but I do agree. That is not how you make a living. And it shouldn't be glamorized by an industry of opportunists who need to think of other ways to draw customers to their businesses during these unfortunate economic times.

Bon Apetite`

Urantian Sojourn, Satan on the Hill.

Its about damn time!

The American Military will have to start stocking the Morning After Pill as a basic medical supply.


I know some of you big fans out there of common sense will be shocked to find out that someone had to tell them, but there it is.

For years your Female Military Members have suffered under the cruelties of administrations that had ultraconservative views regarding abortion.

Sure, when you are active duty, they really push things like depoprovera shots, BC pills, and the like. And people think, "Well you choose one of those and no worries!"

Well not really. Women are expected to adhere to a weight standard while active duty. I know that when I was given BC pills, I gained 30 pounds in less than a month. I also wanted to eviscerate people for looking at me wrong. I thought perhaps this was a rare thing. I met another Vet, who had the Shots. She gained 50 pounds in one month. Neither of us entirely lost the weight on our own. Those Hormones can wreak havoc on a female body, causing serious problems like fatigue, brain fog, headaches, cravings, and *Mood Swings that make bipolar people look pleasant and productive.

Add to that, there are numerous law suits against drug companies for downplaying other serious side effects like stroke--and well, sometimes women's birth control options are not as cool as they appear on paper.

For those of us who prefer to be highly functioning individuals, that left condoms. Condoms as we all know are good for lots of things, but they are also fragile, and can break or come off when one least expects or wants it to.

So what to do? Well I also knew of women who became pregnant in uniform. Was it their fault? I am sure sometimes it was due to stupidity and not using anything at all. But for some maybe not. It doesn't matter, because at that time, and up til now, there were no abortions for women in the ranks.

You could not acquire an Abortion on a military base. And if you went on the economy--and didn't have permission, then you would be reprimanded. And if you had permission, you would be reprimanded even if they said yes to the procedure. I have watched young, successful military women, cry--and resign themselves to their fate, because this freedom that most American Women enjoy--this choice, was not a choice that was allowed for them. Even though they needed that option, and deserved--had earned that option. Anti-Choicers had managed to affect military policy in a way, that they could not do to civilian domestic policy.

The military finally got the sacred clue phone and now, Morning After Pills are going to regular stock in military medicine cabinets.

I am sure that some conscientious idiot will find a way to make waves for women asking for this drug, but this is a good first step. The Bush administration didn't want to do this, because president Numbnuts, probably thought the voices said dont. After all, *W stands for Wackadoo.

Its so nice to have a president that doesn't hear voices.

Anyhow back to the subject at hand. Considering not only the consensual sex of women in uniform, there are also rapes to contend with. Having the Morning After pill regularly stocked and available could go a long way to ensuring that women who are the targets of sexual assault, do not also have to contend with unwanted pregnancy.

Gay Service Members--What it's Really All About

Minorities have been battling over the right to openly serve in the military for decades. First it was Racial Minorities, and Women, and then Religious Minorities. Each have had and still are, fighting for their equality in the ranks. Now it's Homosexuals.

There are forces in our country who find that military service is a convenient litmus test of not only authentic patriotism but also first class citizenship. And each of these groups have ultimately had to, or are currently having to fight a battle in which this is the prize, though no one says it out loud.

Being able to openly serve in the military as a minority makes you somewhat untouchable to certain ultra conservative fanatics. Because an attack on a Minority that is a Vet or Active Duty Service Member is an attack on their Volunteerism, their Patriotism and their potential heroic status.

If Homosexuals are able to serve openly--then this will be one more obstacle in declaring them non-human, and non-American.

Imagine Alaskan Barbie, making one of her fucked up speeches about "Real Americans" and then railing on someone in the audience for being a nontraditional female, or a religious minority--who was in Uniform right there? What would happen to her campaign if that happened? Sure there would be a lot of assholes that would be mesmerized by her boobage and lip-sync with her, but more than a few supporters would leave, because it would be unconscionable to attack our Patriotic, Volunteer Service Members.

So the Reich Wingers have to do everything in their power to prevent Homosexuals from receiving the right to openly serve. Open service is like saying being Gay is Okay! And we can't have that.

Open Service for Gays would be announcing to the world, that they are truly Americans, that they are Patriots, Heroes, Volunteers, and that they are ultimately humans and equal. And if that happens, how then can we question their right to marry Hmmmmm?

Their blood spilled and openly acknowledged and honored would be a catastrophic loss for homophobic assholes the world over.

So if you think this about the fear of them playing hide the soap in the showers--think again. That is what people imagine will happen. We have thousands of homosexuals in the ranks right now who have been in those showers and never let on, who were more than capable of practicing a bit of self discipline. That scares their detractors worse than anything.

Gay Service Members make us question everything we think we understand about Gender Roles, and Sexual Attraction.

Its about time too.

The Party of D'oh Still At It, Still Suckin.

Check out this Washington Post article:

Apparently the plans for the new cluster of feudal states is almost within their grasp. Just think, slaves, serfs, women as chattel and breeders; total freedom to poison the land, the air and water--and hey if we run out, heck we can just invade some other country and take their resources.

Gosh, pure fucking genius--why didn't I think of that?

And the really, truly precious part of this: Its all about bigotry. Yes, these fuckers are totally content to run the country into the ground because Obama-The Bi-Racial Democrat-- makes their widdle pussies hurt.

You know, in the military, people like that would be pushed out of a position of authority, and forced to work some shit job like the geedunk {the Navy equivalent of a convenience kiosk} forced to sell candy bars to real supervisors and actual leaders and team workers, why the jackasses toil away taking inventory of individually wrapped doses of acetometaphin and snickers bars. Their career would take a serious hit--because they would be in charge of--nothing important.

We the people elected Obama. He is the president. And the Republicons want to force him to run the country like King Bush did, which was skip the process whenever possible and issue decrees from on high. That way, the Cons have fuel to whip up all that Tea-Douche-Baggery.


What is it with these numbnuts and their self fullfilling prophecies? Can America take out a restraining order on them?

If only.

Dare to Dream.

Reading about the antics of the Cons and their pet Douchebags is like hearing from some close friend about her stalker soon to be Ex. Its about at that level of dysfunction. You know the type:

"If I can't have her, no one will."

Yes, well if the Republicons cant rule [RULE] America--then no one else can run her.

In the Senate, All 40 Republicons voted to allow America to go into Default on its loans.

These are the same assholes who allowed King George the Worst to financially run this country into the ground--at will. And now that Obama has to clean this shit up--their response to this?
No. Lets live in our own shit like pigs and then blame the guy in office now, instead of the one previous who made the pile.

Yesterday I saw Haley Barbour on the tee vee saying, "Most Americans Don't want Health Care Reform." Fucking speak for yourself. I want Health Care Reform. I want that Socialized Medicine. I want the Insurance Industry put out of business, they are nothing but trouble and have been fucking the American People raw for decades.

Wonder why only Douche Baggers showed up at Town Hall Meetings? Um because they were armed. Who wants to confront another fucking Grassy Knoll asshole with your kids in towe? Not Me.

They are pulling the same bullshit from the last 8 years. Republicons have opted to implant and engage their selective listening devices. They have it on Channel Douchebag--and fuck the rest of us. If one [SINGULAR] Tea-Douche-Bagger says what a Con wants to hear, that is good enough to ignore the rest of the millions of Americans who are without health insurance, without a job and homeless or near abouts.

No one wants the healthcare plan now, because the Cons loaded it with poison pills.

This is where amendments that are so ridiculous or distasteful are attached to legislation, so that even supporters are forced to vote it down. Because if it passes, then the opposing side can accuse the supporters of this legislation of voting for something bad. AKA Wrecking Amendment or Killer Amendment. This is, "... an amendment that is made by a legislator who disagrees with the principles of the bill and who seeks to make it useless [by moving amendments to either make the bill malformed and nonsensical or to severely change it's intent] rather than just voting against it. An important character of Wrecking Amendments is that they are not moved in good faith."

So when the Cons latched onto Abortion and Birth Control services in the healthcare debate--it was merely convenient. Family planning is but one of many hot button issues that the Cons can utilize to whip up the Douchebags who think that women ought to be chattel forced to breed new church members.

Now the Cons can preen about how they prevented the country from embarking on this dangerous legislative move, that they themselves made dangerous and distasteful if not just fucking stupid.

The use of poison pills and Blue Dog DINOs [read corporate schills] were the main methods they had available to undermine the supermajority of Dems on the hill in both houses. Now that Brown won in Mass--the Republicons see this as a good sign. Two strong parties who work the way they should is fine with me. However, when Brown expressed his support for Palin for President--I pretty much wrote his ass off. She is a Spite House. Palin is the candidate equivalent of a Spite House meant to stump America--a new evil finger puppet for corporate scheming, Bush with Boobs. Any adult who actually expresses support for her is viewed by me with suspicion and checked for gaping headwounds.


In the end, the Republicons will have acquired what is known as a Pyrrhic Victory. That is where, in the act of winning at any cost, victory is only achieved on paper. It is a mere technicality in comparison to the resources and the landscape that was laid to waste in the process. In this case, our entire bicameral system and possibly the financial stability of the nation itself.

Ah but I have a long memory. These assholes don't care. They were the ones calling for an armed revolution just a couple months ago. I am sure they still are. Because like I said before, like an abusive, soon to be ex-husband--if they cannot have America on their own terms exclusively, then no one can have her at all. Most definitely the Cons and many of their supporters have become the Party of Spite.

Heck in their world, the end is nigh anyhow. So what's the point? Jesus will take care of them. So who cares right? There is no incentive for the apocalyptic cult members to do anything other than take care of numero uno until that final, cosmic curtain call.

State of the Union Topics

Just cherry picking for now.

8 Billion for High Speed Rail---That is a great idea. When Gas prices go up, that could mean the difference for millions of Americans, keeping their jobs because they can commute--or loosing their job for the want of a full gas tank.

The question is, will the Party of Doh find a way to fuck that up too. I am sure when they get done with it, it will be a High Speed Buttfuck sans lubricant for the American people that only allocates both train and rails simultaneously to Nebraska, leaving the rest of us with only one or the other, while we scratch our heads in wonder at the big fucking Patriots that look out only for themselves.

Republicons--One Way, like a diode.

If, in a perfect world on Xmas day, we do get a working, complete National High Speed Rail system, then it could bring a lot of jobs to construction, to engineers {both the kind that drive trains as well as those that build tracks and computer systems for running trains}.

I am also glad that Obama openly derided companies that shipped their labor overseas and called for their Corporate Welfare to be cut. AMEN TO THAT. I am sure though, that the Scrotum lickers will find a way to paint this as yet another incarnation of the Death Panel, and disrupt town hall meetings all over the U.S. while armed and frothing, because it's socialism or something. Oh--over regulation. Yea--like those anti-child-labor laws. I am sure when they are done, we will give companies that devastate towns that are dependent on factories, double tax breaks for breaking it off in the middle class ass and being such awsome Patriots!

Woo Hoo! Family Values!

Now last night when Obama criticized the Supreme Court for reversing the McCain/Feingold Campaign Financing Reform, Justice Bus--ur--I mean Alito shook his head vigorously in the negative fashion and mouthed the words, "That's not true," in response to that criticism. Considering that you just told corporations that they are the same as individual human citizens---um, I have to side with Obama on this one. Alito, you just helped open up our campaign process to foreign powers to dump money though corporations in order to help pick our new presidents. Now If I were all for that New World Order that Tin Foil Hatters are always muttering about, then I would think that is a cool thing.

Cool! If only Rupert Murdoch had known. He could have held out this long and not even gone through the citizenship process and then, he could have his cake and his fox, and eat it too. I am also thoroughly impressed at how you have shoved the cold wet nose of the Church Camel under our collective tent--because this could be inches toward declaring those legal entities the same as citizens, and giving those collectives the right to make huge campaign contributions. And campaign even more blatantly from the pulpit too.

Yea, just what America needed!

Good for you Obama for at least saying the words. Now if only the rest of the Democratic Party {except Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi} could have a testical transplant, and actually back your ass up this time.

We already know what the dipshits are going to do. Puppets are very predictable that way, just look at who is pulling their strings.

But with the Dems--they cannot believe I suppose that they won. Which is a shame considering the Grand Old Poopers are still ranting in disbelief that they lost. And by the way that they have fucked every good thing up coming from the hill, its kind of hard for me to believe as well.

Way to show America you care--looking out for Numero Uno and all. I am impressed. Seriously Republicons, if this is the new face of Patriotism? You can have it back. The only thing I am impressed with is your avarice--certainly not your ethics or morality.
