Much was made of Sarah Palin writing on her hand before the Tea Party Convention speech recently. The words “Energy”, “Tax” and “Lift American Spirits” are visible on her hand. There’s also what appears to be “Budget cuts” with the word Budget crossed out. Absolutely nothing wrong with making note of something important you want to say on your hand. If it wasn’t for her speech but for the Q&A after, as that is apparently where she looked at it, so what? People take notes for award acceptance speeches only to forget to thank their wives or husbands, and Lord knows I have walked out of the store lots of times without the one thing I went there to buy.
I would rather see her jot a few words on her hand to jog her memory to include a key point than to have her paralyzed at a podium because the teleprompter is on the fritz and she has NO IDEA what to say because it isn’t being fed to her line by line. Oh, wait. SHE doesn’t use a teleprompter! That’s Obama, huh?? Yeah, that’s right.
Hey, you stupid pundits! Why don’t you get off your pedestals and clock in to real life! LOTS of people write on their hands! It doesn’t make us ignorant or less educated than you…or your precious ideologue Obama. I do it for several reasons:
I am BUSY. I have a lot on my mind and a lot of things to track. And I think of things on the run, on my OWN, instead of reading them in books written by other people.
I do not want to forget an important appointment or task.
And most importantly? I DO NOT USE A TELEPROMPTER! I also don’t have someone writing my speeches, or keeping track of my every move for me. Some of us have to think for ourselves and often there is not a piece of paper handy, and there’s NEVER a personal assistant following me around to tell me everything I need to know.
So, how about you elitists step out of the way and give those of us who have to live a real life a break. That includes Sarah Palin. Leave her alone already. It just makes you all look like weak-minded bullies. Maybe you should all take Al Gore to Greenland and watch the ice melt.
You know what? I do. And not for the reasons that you might think. Sure, I felt safer and less like we were headed into a Socialist situation. There was plenty of partisan bickering then, too, so that’s not new. But, dang, did we see Bush as much in 8 years as we’ve seen Obama in one? The press corps were complaining they hadn’t seen Obama in “awhile”. Really? Cuz I see him everywhere. Every day. Speeches and speeches worth.
Anyhow, the billboard. Could be Photoshopped, but it’s not. This is actually a real sign and it was paid for by a group of small business people in Wyoming, Minnesota who feel like Washington DC is against them. I feel like Washington DC is against Americans in general. Even those that voted for them. I still feel like both sides of the aisle think they were elected to royalty instead of public service. Especially the “Commander in Chief”. He basically said today that he will do what he wants, regardless of what is decided in Congress. Really? So, basically, he is the King and we lowly subjects do not have enough sense to know what we want.
He said today that the “public soured on process…contaminated how they viewed substance”. Really? Guess what? I think we were “soured” on the substance…the pork, the idiocy, the audacity. There are some really simple things to do that cost nothing. Let’s try those first! What is wrong with allowing insurance sales across state lines as a starter? It would cost NOTHING and it would spur competition and lower prices, better coverage, more customer service. What exactly is the problem with this? It could be done in a matter of weeks. It would NOT take 2900 pages of BULLSH!T to put in place. NO one would have to be paid off to vote for it. Even better…make it a stipulation that any company that sells health insurance may NOT drop a customer due to illness and they cannot deny policies to those with pre-existing conditions. There, done. You want to be in the health insurance business, you play by these rules. Doesn’t take 2900 pages.
I wonder how it is that Washington DC is rife with people who have NO common sense at all. Oh. Maybe it’s that the people who voted them into office had none. Sure sucks when your fellow Americans vote based on a false promise of transparency and lots of free goodies from the government. Oh, wait. The free goodies are NOT from Obama…they are from you & me, the TAXPAYERS.
Yeah, I miss Bush. I coulda lived without this particular change.
It’s not bad enough that the man had an affair while he was campaigning to be President/VP and whatever else while his wife is dealing with cancer and has two little kids at home. He lied about it when the mistress got pregnant and tried to convince his aides to take the fall for it. Wanted a doctor to fake DNA results. He has lied over and over about the whole scandal. Denied his “love” child for almost two years. I thought it was as bad as it could be…but now…there’s a sex tape?
Do we really need a sex tape to know this is sordid and disgusting behavior?
OK, note to ALL POLITICIANS from ALL STATES and ALL PARTIES:
The new rule of thumb for you people: Keep your own stuff in your own pants!!! Keep your hands and your other appendages to yourselves and keep the cameras OFF in the bedroom! If you are married, wait until you are no longer a public servant to screw around on your spouse.
Geez. I cannot believe politicians are so stupid and void of ethics and they are running the country.
Got this via e-mail today. I agree 100%. Pass it on if you do too.

A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn’t slow a train very much, a billion of them would.
With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously written by a good American.
Check this out. I can verify this because I was in Lowes the other day for some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking at the hose attachments. They were all made in China . The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just for the heck of it I checked the hose attachments there. They were made in USA. Start looking.
In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else – even their job.
My grandson likes Hershey’s candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now. I do not buy it any more. My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico now I have switched to Crest… You have to read the labels on everything.
This past weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy was a off brand labeled, “Everyday Value.” I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats – they were the same except for the price. The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in – get ready for this – the USA at a company in Cleveland , Ohio .
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here.
So on to another aisle – Bounce Dryer Sheets . . .yep, you guessed it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada.
The Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA!
I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce I have been using for years and at almost half the price!
My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA – the job you save may be your own or your neighbors!
If you accept the challenge, pass this address on to others on your e-mail list so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from overseas companies!
We should have awakened a decade ago!!!!
Let’s get with the program . . . help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the USA.
I swear…there is nothing on TV to watch that you don’t hear about someone’s “junk”.
We have to see the commercials about men and their urinary problems, or worse. How many different drugs are there now to keep things down there, um…ready to roll? Who knew there was such a market for that anyhow? Are there that many guys in this country with borked junk?
Sure, sure…we’ve been hearing way more than I want to about female issues, too. Those women who talk to the little lady on the bathroom door need way more that something for urinary urgency. A good shrink or some anti-psychotics, maybe. And seriously, I am glad we are past pouring blue water into a pad on TV, but I really don’t get feel a need for a 1950’s style synchronized swimming number…especially when it has to do with birth control. Really? Gah.
And I know we have been subjected to more than anyone ever needs to know about John and Lorena Bobbett…something about having your junk cut off and thrown out of a moving vehicle that captures media attention.
But on Christmas Day 2009, one idiot topped them all. “The Nigerian”, as he was referred to by two terrorist planners in a communication overheard November by CIA agents, tried to blow up a plane headed into Detroit. How? Well, I am glad you asked. This guy made his UNDERWEAR into a BOMB!
A powder explosive was sewn into the crotch of his ["girlie looking" according to my DH] garment [the comments on this link are priceless]…the detonator to which apparently didn’t work very well. He ended up catching the blanket on fire and parts of his clothing…in the process sustaining some burns that required a short hospital stay.
Of course, since we call Richard Reid [who used the same powder in his shoe for his device] the “Shoe Bomber”, it stands to reason that this guy will forevermore be known as “The Underwear Bomber”.
This annoys my husband to no end.
“Anyone who tries to blow up a plane by first blowing up his crotch needs a stupider name than that.”
“You don’t think ‘the Underwear Bomber‘ is stupid enough?”
“No.”
“I don’t think ‘the Underwear Bomber‘ is going to garner a lot of respect in prison.”
“Maybe not, but they need to call him something else.”
“Like what?”
“Like ‘the idiot who tried to blow up his junk‘…”
“Really? That’s awesome, honey…”
“Shut up. Maybe ‘Roasted Nuts‘ or ‘Blistered Balls‘…?”
“That’s um, more festive…works for me…”
“I got it. ‘Toasted Junk‘.”
Thanks, Farouk, you dumbass. Now I gotta hear about your junk 24/7 on every news broadcast…and probably get MY fat old lady junk blown up on some big screen full body scan next time I fly. Very nice. I hate terrorists. Why don’t you all go practice blowing up your junk in the desert. And I wish you much success.
Found this on the internet…and Snopes has it verified. As “proud” as Michelle Obama is “finally’ feeling of our Country…I am equally ashamed of this administration and hoping it lasts no more than one term. We cannot afford more.

Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can’t figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
# “We’re no longer a Christian nation”
# “America is arrogant” – (Your wife even announced to the world, “America is mean-spirited.” Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you but I don’t think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said, “America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.” Which ones did you mean?
1. Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British ?
2. Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?
3. I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellahs I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom.
4. I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer,young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their
people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.
Seemed like the polls drove a lot of Obama’s campaign, and the media’s frenzy. Now? We rarely hear about his approval ratings unless it’s on Fox News, or the internet.
At what point do we get to get real about this mess?
Maybe a sign of the times is that SNL has pulled their collective heads from their mostly liberal, Obama-loving arses:
The liberals are nuts. Just plain and simple. And liars. Cuz there is NO way they read this bill and can still honestly still say it is what Americans “want”, let alone what we need. They are either communists…in which case this is about control, stupid…in which case they just don’t get it, or seriously deluded…which is the same as stupid, but more dangerous. In any case, they need to go. Away from Washington DC. Game over. They need to be fired. Come 2010, I believe we will send them away. Until then, we need to keep being vocal about what we really want.
Of course they are all disregarding what they were asked to do and not do. Self absorbed, spoiled "stars". Bah. http://twitter.com/opinion8dlady2010/03/07
If it wasn’t for her speech but for the Q&A after, as that is apparently where she looked at it, so what?
