Shooting your mouth off

From a recent press conference by Mayor Nagin of New Orleans on the upcoming Gustav festivities:

"Looters will not be tolerated. You will be sent directly to jail. You will not be given a pass like last time."

A pass like last time. Amazing isn't it? Wow he managed to get all that out in 3 sentences. The local schmuck who did nothing to help his city in 2005, yet managed to get re-elected. Of course the Democrats won't slam him despite the thousands that were left homeless, vulnerable to crime and disease, what have you. It's all Bush's fault that happened, right?
By the way, Nagin managed to work in a vacation to Jamaica to avoid the press scrutiny right after Katrina. How's that for having no balls?

From Michael Moore:
"I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven," Moore said, laughing. "To have it planned at the same time - that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for day one of the Republican Convention, up in the Twin Cities - at the top of the Mississippi River."

Moore did manage to work in that he hoped nobody got hurt and he hoped everybody is taking cover. However, he failed to make note of the $43.625 billion in damage the last hurricane to strike New Orleans caused - Hurricane Katrina in 2005 - and the billions of dollars the storm cost taxpayers.

Let's not forget too that Gustav hit his favorite country, Cuba, pretty damn hard. Where's the sympathy for those people?
I have a hard time saying this, but maybe, just maybe, Michael Moore's mother should have considered an abortion? And I am a pro lifer. I doubt Michael Moore even believes in God. So there it is. Not proud of it, but that's me shooting my mouth off for today.

The highest "Bidenator"

Rush Limbaugh called it last week when he said that Hillary would use her speech last night to convince the American people that she should have been the VP nominee. And, as predicted, this is exactly what all the commentators have said. I don't know enough about Joe Biden to decide whether or not he is a good VP candidate or not, but it seems to me that Barack Obama made the "safest" choice with what he had in front of him. I call it the "Biden condom" for lack of better words.

The Clintons have dominated the landscape for a very long period of time, but what about the Kennedys? How long has Ted Kennedy been in office? Come on. The Bushes have been around for a long time too. So to suddenly imply that this is because the DNC needs to rid themselves of the Clintons all of a sudden sounds awfully suspicious to me.

Another thing that srikes me as odd, and that is this thing with Ohio congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who was scheduled to speak at the DNC convention. At least that's what I understood from the news reports. She was a staunch Hillary supporter and suddenly suffered a brain aneurism while driving and subsequently died. It might just be coincidence, but she was a black woman that supported Hillary. Hardly anything has been said about her death. Barack and Biden are going to attend her funeral after the convention. This woman was alone in her car driving on the road after meeting some friends when this all happened. I just find it very very suspicious that this occurs just days before the convention. What did she know? Did she know anything? Was she a threat to the Obama campaign? Maybe, maybe not. But it's one of those things that makes me go "hmmmm..."

The DNC convention

Hypocritical. Last night they had the opening prayer for the DNC led by Reverend Leah D. Daughtry. She acknowledged the "Amighty God" and offered a prayer to only the Christian God. I didn't see any other prayers offered to any other gods. Okay Democrats, where's your diversity now? Nobody challenged the DNC on this. Because it's okay for Democrats to do that. They also had the GI Forum out to present the colors and said the pledge of allegiance, "one nation, under God." Okay, everybody's making this big stink about Hillary, so why no stink about the patriotic and religious factors that so many skeptics and freethinkers (albeit many Democrats and liberals) want to spew in our faces the other 51 weeks of an election year?

That's because it's ALWAYS ok for the Democrats to put on a facade. There will never be an outcry when Democrats show their support publicly for their country. But behind closed doors lurks a litigious hateful percentage of the human population that wants to forever remove God from everything in our society, yet when the camera is on them they can't be happier to do what the status quo wants them to do. Hey whatever it takes I guess, right?

Let's see what the RNC criticisms are next week in the liberal media.

Writer's block

I feel that urge to start writing beginning to resurface again, but it has no direction, which is the story of my creative writing life. Bits and pieces materialize but then go nowhere. I have so many unfinished manuscripts it's scary. I'm my own worst enemy, putting walls and blocks up to keep myself from finishing a project. Is it a fear of success or a fear that all of my vulnerabilities as a human being will be exposed? Sure I can mask them within characters but someone will pick them out surely and then I would forever hate myself.
