Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Last post of the day. Mitt Romney celebrates the 66th year he is NOT a resident of the White House.
And do you know what? I think I will celebrate that right along with him.
Everyday in every way Mittens reminds me more and more of everyone's crazy old uncle that the family keeps under wraps and only wheels out at weddings and funerals. Then when the kids look at the photos a few years down the road, they always ask, "who's that?"
I just made a nasty comment on Facebook to a Tea Party posting about how right Ann Romney was that the media killed Mitt's chances.
No matter what channel my TV was on, (OTHER than MSNBC) all I heard for a year, even on days he took off to go sailing or something instead of campaigning, was news reports that began with something along the lines of:
"Front running Mitt Romney today, whose well thought out policies should save America from ruin, told reporters he doesn't really HATE Obama, just pities him."
How that kind of bullshit can be construed now to be a bias against him, is anyone's guess.
I would rather celebrate the (today) birthdays of James Taylor and Bill Payne of Little Feat. Our local radio station had a lovely two hour show of James' and Little Feat's music. Super great
Granny Grifter didn't carry cash to Target. Had to charge a couple of those big cartons of the Whoppers Choc covered malted milk balls for those chunky daughters of hers every trip. And that shit really adds up fast.
The packaging means that Ann didn't take the time to cook the cookies for you, Mitt. Go ahead and insult her like you did the bakery owner during the campaign.
And to think, all that time and money that was sunk in the "I'm a Mormon" campaign to convince us the Romneys is jus' ord'nary ol' folks.
Now we have the "Re-bushification Project" that's shaping up to be four years of smarmy Mormon-like ads about how charming and wonderful those Bushes really are. Kicked off tonight on NBC [maybe CBS too, can't watch 'em all at once].
Palin And Trump Score More CPAC Speaking Time Than Paul, Rubio And Ryan
What will Sarah Palin and Donald Trump do with their precious extra minutes on the CPAC stage this week? How will Senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio fit everything they want to say into their limited time slots? These are the burning questions at hand as the annual Conservative Political Action Conference approaches.
The National Review got a hold of the minute-by-minute CPAC schedule and revealed that Palin, at 16 minutes, and Trump, at 14 minutes have been given longer appearances than many of the elected Republicans scheduled to speak. After those two, Rand Paul along with Governors Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, and Scott Walker are each scheduled for 13 minutes and Rubio and Rep. Paul Ryan each have only 11 minutes. After that, former Presidential front-runner Rick Santorum only has seven minutes.
Sarah Palin will have the longest segment other than Cruz, who has 33 min. But I'll bet, while she will say more words also, she will communicate the least number of ideas that are of any value. She's part of the clown show, and is there for entertainment only. No one ever talks Bout her message. Instead, they notice how short and skinny she is and talk about his unhealthy she looks, even standing next to Trump.
Well, the others are idiots too, but they are capable of being coherent idiots and can pack more construable sentences into 5 minutes than Palin could in 50. So maybe the organizers were trying to be fair* and the speaking times are actually close to equal.**
Can anyone tell which Diet Coke Mitt the Mormon is drinking? Is it the caffeine free version or just old Diet Coke (which does have caffeine)? Any experts out there?
Mitt may or may or may not go away, but if rumors are true, his brother may be running for the US Senate, so like the Bush ongoing nightmare, we may plagued with a family dynasty saga for a while longer - particularly if Tagg has been infected with the Dubya bug. Father - son - brother - son/nephew -- icky, icky poo, no thank you.
Please save us here in Michigan from a Romney in the Senate! Frankly I've never heard of the Romney brother; he's not known statewide in Michigan politics or is he being shipped in from another state or planet? Beaglemom
What? No home made welsh cakes and milk from "the happy homemaker"?!?! Isn't caffeine a huge no-no in the Mormon religion? Guess he got the same exemption Marie Osmond did for her divorces.
The funny thing is that the Republicans act like he never existed! No one mentions poor Mittens!
Pro-diabetes activists in Mississippi are celebrating the passage of legislation prohibiting the passage of legislation prohibiting the sale of humongous containers of sugary soft drinks, such as that recently passed by NYC Mayor David Bloomberg and then overturned by a NY state appeals court.
Beauregard "No Feet" Jackson IV, President of Mississippi-based Diabetes Now!, a diabetes advocacy group and sugar industry lobbyist gleefully wheeled his motorized scooter around his office Tuesday, pumping his fist triumphantly. "We did it!", he exclaimed, between long sips of what appeared to be a 3 gallon jug of cola.
"It's not just the rights of people to be obese and diabetic that we're protecting. Now, I'm no anti-semite and some of my best friends know people who know people who know Jews, but it just isn't right to have some big nose Jew from Jew Town come down here and try to improve the health of our children. As my granpappy Beauregard "No Feet" Jackson II, used to say, before he slipped into a diabetic coma, "it doesn't take a talking mule to sweet talk a blind gopher with a yellow hat!"
To celebrate the victory of unfettered capitalism over fettered tyranny, local soft-drink distributors have announced plans to replace middle school water fountains with coin-operated cola dispensers emblazoned with the red. white and blue "Country First" political logo once used without apparent irony by the humiliated 2008 presidential campaign of Good Ol' Gramps McCain and Alaska's The Screechy Wretch(tm).
The comments there are rich. The one "kid" (college age) at the Sea is going to CPAC, has a pass to the Speech by Screech and is all hyped about it. She told the fashion-conscious minions that she's wearing hot pink so people will recognize her. Hot pink! Why am I picturing a late 70s polyester pant suit?
I think someone should blag a CPAC badge, fill a supersoaker with a mayonnaise and have at it. I would put up for that. Take a collection Gryph. I've seen people drink their own urine for $20.
OT Chuckles Jr. has a post on his porch about avalanches. He included a picture: http://chuckheathjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Sally-Heath-cross-country-skiing.jpg which is labelled "Sally Heath cross country skiing. Mom in the Talkeetna Mountains on a warm Spring day.
OK, this is a quiz for folks in Alaska. How old is that photo of Sally Heath? Seriously, is that the same woman as this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EdxtKxaE3fk/SwnNuetZdjI/AAAAAAAAAhM/th8xPNf3Wk4/s1600/DSCN3427a.jpg
I've noticed Sarah looking a lot like her mother lately...in the ski pic of a young Sally you can really see the resemblance. Guess it's time for Sarah to get some more work done.
Ah, somewhat ironic that tomorrow, the ED SHOW will introduce/unmask the man who taped the 47% comments.

Yah! And we can haz booze.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware that Mormons were allowed to drink pop these days?
ReplyDeleteMust only apply to the top 1%.

They reported all his stupid utterances, which kind of fucked his chances.
DeleteLOL, there he is in his dunce cap, as it should be.
ReplyDeleteGee, he looks just a smarmy and slimy as ever.
ReplyDeleteAs has been said, moving into the White House probably would have been downsizing for Mr. Richie Rich.

ReplyDeleteWoooh Little Feat!
DeleteIf you'll be my Dixie Chicken... Great tune.
DeleteWho splurged and financed the V8 and the sweets from Seven-Eleven? Definitely not homemade are they, Miittens?
ReplyDeleteDude knows how to party like it's 1849.
My thoughts exactly! I wondered if the cake (?) came from the nearest 7-Eleven. I don't think that Ann cooks or bakes.

Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteCheck this out, a Pinterest board on what to wear to CPAC:

DeleteAnd 5 months later, why WON'T you release your tax returns? We're still asking!
ReplyDeleteHe will never release them. They would show that he took amnesty on his offshore accts and his tax rate was way lower than 15%

ReplyDeletePUTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He looks... alone.
ReplyDeleteNo friends, no family for his birthday. Just the photographer and him.
That's very cheap of him.
So Big Ed Schultz is giving Mittens his present a little late this evening, I hear. Better late than never.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Mittens!
Party hat can't conceal the silver antennae poking out of the top of his head.
