The crazy dude has called off the ‘burning the Qur’an day’. He is speaking about it right now. Whoa. They are moving the ‘ground zero Mosque. Holy shit! He would see that as a sign from god.

Good grief. This huckster has just blackmailed the folks who have been trying to build the multicultural Islamic community center and Mosque in New York City. I am stunned.

Wow. Wow. I got nothing.

What are your thoughts?

Heh. That just popped up and I decided to share.

I watched President Obama’s Labor Day speech today. Sorry about the quality: the audio is great but the video might make you sea sick;~J

I thought it was a very good speech. I want to hear it again, but my first impression is very positive. I caught it on MSNBC as I had my dvr set on MSNBC, and was able to rewind and catch the entire thing. After the speech was done the first thing out of the MSNBC reporter was that President Obama was using (outrageous?) rhetoric.

Lol, people can say that Obama was born in Kenya, is a secret Muslim,  but Obama telling the truth about what is being said about him is using (outrageous?) rhetoric?

A deal is a deal.

Education has been the latest buzz for the past month or so. The Onion has an interesting perspective on the subject.

An Onion a day helps keep the apathy away? Hmmm.

Can I sic the Onion on this dude? I really want to keep him away.

Oh thank you tehglennbeck for explaining this. Actually, Palin and Beck scare me. They are smart enough, have certain skills and are the slickest snake oil sales people I have ever seen. They are truly dangerous people.

I guess tehglennbeck had a party last weekend in Washington. I am getting tired of The Koch brothers getting their way. Let’s show all of them a real grass roots movement and attend the 10-2-10 March on Washington

Thank goodness the polls are not supporting evidence that these folks are making an actual impact. They are, IMO riling up that segment of society they are able to rally. Unfortunately this is a shit load of people and I am not surprised that the marchy thing was a ginormous success in numbers. And if we let them, it could add up to big numbers for the republicans in November.

Earlier this week John Nichols from the Nation discussed the disappearance of the “Moderate Republicans” ie Nelson Rockefeller, Gerald Ford, Jacob Javits, Percy, even Reagan in 1976. IMHO this is the real problem in the United States right now.

The republicans learned more from George Wallace than from Eisenhower? Carter won the south and Ford got the north east. Wow. Seeing the historical movement of the Republican Party over the last 40 years is very interesting. The path it is on right now, is the ending of a once great Party. I wonder what will take it’s place?  

I have been putting more effort into these in recent weeks. There is just so much insanity to work with lately. Ah, the astonishing absurdity of it all, edged however, with echoes from a frightening past…er, um…

Aw damn. I should just get this over with now.

****A ***WARNING:* to all who read this diary: This is not one of my normal tubes. We have serious business to attend to, so do not enter if all you want is amusement!** Then again, perhaps the entire thing is such sheer lunacy, then all it can do is make you laugh and laugh and laugh;~P*** Oh and please note: this diary is very long.****

Either way, I hope you enjoy them.

Ahem.

The latest absurdity seems to be the rather fierce rise in Anti-Islamism in the United States of America since 9/11 and in the past couple of weeks. I use that word because it reminds best of Anti-Semitism. To me, there seems no difference between the two “isms”, except of course, for the actual religions involved.  

Ok. So I agree Keith Olbermann is a gigantic ego maniacal twit who thinks he is the second coming of Edward R Murrow , but he is also a MSM liberal voice I often agree with, if I can stand watching him. Bear with me here…

Too much? I am sure that is by design (much in the same way those faux people do), but I am a such a sucker for the dramatic, and will admit I clutched my chest during and after his…um… special thingy.

And yet, things do seem very dire in my country these days. I worry whenever I see a campaign of hate being fostered by the gop, but I am not sure I have seen one work quite so well and so swiftly. Perhaps too well. I wonder how many of them are getting worried about what they have created this past month (years, decades)?

Why do republicans get away with using hate as a campaign tool?

Wow. Wow. Just wow. I got nothing.

No! Now wait just one damn minute! I do have one bloody question, as this all seems pretty grim to me. Do you think these folks are fascists or Nazi’s or something else? Or…and/or, are they fomenting others to the task? I ask, because I really want to know what you think.

So fuck Godwin, ’cause the scene has changed for me. Am I crazy or does this woman have a point?

Good gawd, I truly hope I am just over reacting to recent events. It has been known to happen;~J Please, please let me know if you think I am…uh, taking this too seriously.

Perhaps we just need something funny to take our minds off of all of this annoying hate.

Yep, that was pretty funny, but it didn’t really make me feel any better;~J

Ahem. Bad Hollede! I have been trying to work on teh ‘Tubes’ for a while now, but a couple of little imps (you know who you are;~) have been, um, distracting me, and in fact, holding me hostage when I log onto my computer;~J LOL. Ah well, I guess it wouldn’t happen if I didn’t let them lure me away from my (self) appointed duties;~P It has been a lot of fun and I have sorely missed chatting with my on-line buddies, so please forgive my indulgence…

That being said, on with the ‘Tubes’!

I noticed this on teh MSNBC and laughed my ass off. This tube was put out by collegehumor.com, a group of amazingly talented folks, who have (IMHO) nailed the lunacy of the media and the daffy criticism from the left and right toward President Obama.  

Let’s see, no one is happy…maybe he is doing something right;~P
