"I'm a Socialist and I'm Okay..."
Maxine Waters is a perfect example of why you should think before you speak (among other things she's a good example of). This past week she was finally honest and called herself a socialist, although she managed to stop herself with only the word "social" coming out, then she hemmed and hawed and then said "We (the government" are going to take over the oil companies). So, she just said in about 10 words what she could have said in one if she had just put the ending on that pesky "social".
Maxine, I have but one thing to say. Embrace your socialism baby. Let there be no mistaking what you really stand for. But don't be surprised if a lot of people don't share your twisted outdated (former Soviet Union anyone?) views on your preferred form of government.
Stupid is as Stupid Does
Sharon Stone. Believes in karma. Thinks earthquake in China is karma for China's treatment of Tibet (makes me wonder who did what to who when California has an earthquake, but I digress). Dior removes Sharon Stone as spokesperson for products. Sharon Stone REALLY believes in karma now!
Sharon Stone. Stupider than Cameron Diaz cavorting with Maoist purse last year in Peru, a country that had lived through the terror of Shining Path, a Maoist group.
It Ain't Over Until the Fat Lady Sings
First it was a really really bad idea. Then it was a book. Then it was a movie. Then it was an Oscar. Then it was a Nobel prize. Now it's... an opera?
Yes, someone thought it would be a really great idea to take "An Inconvenient Truth" and turn it into an opera to be debuted in Italy at La Scala in Milan.
Okay, I love opera (so sue me). But really, this is a BAD idea. Unless, of course, you borrow something from other operas. I could go for a scene where Algore throws himself onto the burning boat (which of course, started burning because of global warming) like Brünnhilde does after her Immolation Aria in Die Götterdämmerung. Of course, she's doing it to be reunited with her true love Siegfried who's already in Valhalla. Algore could do it because his carbon credit business bites the dust, making it impossible for him to fly in a private plane anymore, or pay the electric bill on his monster house. Or, because everyone finally got a clue and doesn't believe his lies anymore.
Then you could have the scene from La Boheme where poor Mimi is coughing her little lungs out in the snowstorm, making Rodolfo feel guilty so he goes back to her for a little while. This is the scene where everyone figures out the earth is actually cooling - because it's snowing in July - and it makes it pretty obvious that Algore, scientist extraordinaire, is a nitwit. (Actually, maybe it's at this point he throws himself on the burning boat... 
).

Finally, my favorite cartoon of the week. Nothing needs to be said.

GREAT post , I just happened to be surfing the channels and caught socialist maxine waters when she made that little slip ,, the funniest part was watching the people sitting around he the expressions on their faces was priceless !!!!
Actually I found nothing funny about Maxine's F'up. Our government is crawling with these communist pigs. At least two of them are running for President. They all need to be sent to Cuba or China for re-education.
I didn't see it live, but I saw the sound bites and it was interesting watching the reaction of the two people also caught on camera with her. She obviously realized she was showing who she really was when she caught herself then hemmed and hawed and tried to think of how to say it without anyone knowing what she was saying. I think the genie was out of that bottle as soon as the "s" started coming out of her mouth. She's dangerous.
She is dangerous. Do they not realize that what she is proposing is exactly what Hugo Chavez did in Venezuela? How does that make her any different than him? It doesn't. Of course, she's probably one of them ready to sit around the campfire with Hugo and Raul and Achmed and any other two-bit totalitarian dictator and sing Kum Bah Ya while selling this country down the drain.
Why do you think the liberal commie loving democrats are working so hard to get ODUMBA elected president , then they will have all the handles of POWER !!!!!!
Many many people believe in Karma, even Christians but Christians calling it reaping what you sowed. I don't think it's stupid at all to think that Ms. Stone believes that. We are all different and I think it's narrowminded to call her stupid for that belief.
If you'll reread the post I didn't say she was stupid for believing in Karma - I said she was stupid for what she said about the earthquake - if you'll notice I compared her to Cameron Diaz carrying around the Maoist purse in an area where Shining Path (a Maoist organization) had killed hundreds of people. So please, make sure you know what you're commenting on when you call someone narrow-minded - you no more know my mind and heart than I know yours.
