Breitbardt Needs to be Sued & Rangel Needs to Go:Shirley Sherrod, the Department of Agriculture official who was smeared by tea bagger icon, Andrew Breitbart, claims she will sue him for his campaign to make her appear to be a racist...using only a 7 second clip of a 45 minute speech seemed to do it, except for the main stream medias focus of the entire speech; Brietbart is a hate monger who gets the tea bagger crowd lathered up with venom by pulling these tricks & needs to be taught a lesson, even if it just costs him some money for a defense;

Old Relics Like Charles Rangel....need to be booted from Congress...he is yesterday's news & doesn't get it...enriching yourself while in office is too old school & politicians of any party need to be thrown from office, after a hearing of course...being the head of the appropriations committee & not paying taxes or hiding income is reprehensible...he's a relic of a different age..

Charlie Crist:is holding onto a 5 point lead over Marco Rubio who has spent a ton of money so far..he managed to get Crist to run as an independent, but that very move may save Crist's ass...politically speaking...

Deregulation is at the heart of the Gulf Oil Spill:the hands off mentality got this mess started & right-wing whiners like Louisiana Governor,Bobby Jindal, who kept up the cheap rhetoric that wins votes on the right: "we want less government"...who ya gonna call when oil is lapping up on your wetlands, Bobby?

What Was Minnesota Thinking? Everytime I see Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn), I keep wondering what type of idiots live in Minnesota...all the verbal vomit this twit spews out has nothing to do with reality...everything Obama does is leading our country to socialism...I wonder how many senior citizens who receive social security & Medicare agree with her...,& if so, why don't they refuse that money & help?.

Karl Rove: Mistakes & Consequences:Rove is making the rounds pathetically trying to rewrite history...he claims not being part of diving the country, using the 9/11 attack to win votes...he simply lies about almost everything including the reasons for going to war in Iraq...he'll win over no new converts...only hold on to the kool-aid drinking fools who bought into the mistake ridden Bush administration which left our country teetering near a depression...

Tell Me Something I Don't Know: The website, The Daily Beast has determined Cincinnati to be the craziest city in America (based on "shrinks" per capita, stress surveys & consumption of alcohol)

Is Everybody Angry?...Even killer whales are getting pissed off...but then again, they have the word "Killer" in their name..everyone from ploarized Washington, to citizens like crazed professor, Amy Bishop or kamakze pilot Joseph Andrew Stack are just going ballistic...needless to say, millions of people are losing their retirement, their savings & medical care is either out of sight or overly expensive....& that is driving many to anger & outrageous behavior...the Tea Bagger crowd are crazed as they bring guns & threats to rallies...

Just What Cincinnati Needs: All You Can Eat:My beloved hometown of Cincinnati is awash with over weight people...lumbering behemoths lurch from side to side as they walk around...God forbid you get stuck behind them at the mall, they're so big, it's hard to get around these giants...if they get between you and the sun, it's like a total eclipse!...when they get their shoes shined, they have to take the guys word for it...now, just to help these waistlines burst into another orbit, Montgomery Inn is offering All You Can Eat Ribs & Saratoga Chips...lots of meat & starch for these leviathans...

Lizards & Giant Snakes Attacking South Florida!Iguanas & other lizards (some up to 5-6-7 feet) are invading South Florida..ditto that for giant Pythons...feeble minded idiots, some who have such things & pets, only to realize the insanity, have dumped these reptiles off in the Everglades & other areas...they reproduced & now we've got a B-Science fiction movie on our hands...

-------------------------------OTHER NEWS & THE BOTTOMLINE----------------------------------------

Ft. Hood Texas: That whacked out Muslim, Hasan, is paralyzed from the waist down & has gotten the first of many years of torture for his evil deeds...I still say this guy was unhappy about his own miserable life & used the Islamic Jihadist thing as an excuse...he wanted to die & was left in this retched shape which is a good first start to a life of hell

Bush/ Cheney/ Rumsfeld screw-ups helped bin Laden escape in the Tora Bora mountain area during December, 2001, a new report from the Senate foreign relations committee illustrates but most of us already knew this....Tommy Franks was still in command too so his finger prints are all over this as well...to make matters worse, not only did bin laden escape to fight another day but his win over America made him a hero to many crazed Muslims and he helped resurge his maniacal minions to gain strength in Afghanistan after we blindly detoured into Iraq, which also emboldened Iran to begin Nuke proliferation....that adminstration was a perfect example of failure in motion...& it's now on Obamas plate to clean up....good luck Mr. President
