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

Part of Bill Maher's New Rules from last night's show.
I am totally in agreement with Maher's take on the fake hunting done by politicians.
It is just stupid and I really don't think it fools anybody.
Hey, Gryphen, you should also include Bill Maher's joke about Republicans and jokes. Ann Coulter was Bill's first guest, and she claimed that when Rafael Cruz (Ted's father) said that Obama should go back to Kenya, that was a joke, ha ha. (I guess people don't joke that Rafael should go back to Cuba, but that's another story). Ann said that it was a joke that always got a joke from Republican audiences. It fell flat on Bill's show.
Bill explained that he can always make a joke about Sarah Palin because Sarah Palin is stupid and the joke will always get a laugh. When Republicans try to make a joke about Nancy Pelosi, it isn't funny because Nancy Pelosi is smart. So there you are, Sarah Palin has become an official punchline, funnier than Rafael Cruz, Obama going back to Kenya and Nancy Pelosi.
Boehner's been living on Wild Turkey for years. That's GOLD! He's so right about the "hunting" photo op. There's a supermarket, walmart, target, trader joes every half mile or so, and who has time to hunt, field dress, butcher and cook a meal? (except for Sarah Palin, frontier woman)? I had to chuckle at Hillary's photo. I'm a bit younger and remember having the same haircut.
I think if Cruz was photographed carjacking someone, a lot more people could relate, especially folks in cities (and it has nothing to do with his ethnicity).
O/T.. I saw and listened to a video tonight that I just have a hard time believing, but it's apparently true, and very moving and beautiful.
A NINE YEAR OLD girl named Amira from Holland appeared on the "Holland's got talent" auditions.
Apparently has never had lessons, and decided that she likes opera.
She announces this to the judges and they can't believe anyone so young could possibly sing opera, but they give her a chance.
When she finally starts singing, well.. listen to this

It's O mio bambino Caro, and I don't think I've ever heard it sung better. Like she's channeling the voice of a 30 year old trained soprano, with tremendous pitch and control..
The video's gone, Jesse...removed by the user it says.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid that would happen.
DeleteI replaced it with a shorter version.

I guess that Ann is the only one who gets that joke.

Make that Cruz and Issa.
DeleteCheney and Cruz would be a wonderful hunting twosome. It wouldn't matter which of them was dome in!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRob Reiner's laughs just tickle the heck out of me.

That's just awesome, AJ. Thanks for the link. Im no voice coach or expert, but I recognize that she's a bona fide prodigy, no doubt. Incredible!
DeleteWhat a beautiful performance -
DeleteGryphen
DeleteThis performance by the little girl deserves its own post if you have room for it. If is pretty uplifting.
Maher's show last night was one of the better ones. I laughed a lot and so enjoyed Rob Reiner.
ReplyDeleteThe exception to me was Ann Coulter - don't find her interesting at all!
