Cookies and Crapola - Week 2

Let's see if I can keep up a regular post with a theme. I enjoyed sharing the bits and pieces of last week's first Cookies and Crapola post.

We'll start with a giant stinkin' heap of crapola. The Trump boys ...

These overly entitled miserable sacks of nothing but Daddy's money went on a killing spree while on an African safari. They slaughtered an elephant, a leopard, a buffalo and an alligator just to name a few of their kills. Then they posed with the dead animals for their "trophy shots". You can read about it  here  but I warn you, there are photos.

Here's a mix - for some it's cookies and for others it's crapola.

Where every single college team in the nation plays for a spot in a bracket that people walk around with close to their hearts. It goes on forever and ever and ever more. I like basketball, I even played basketball in school, but this is just too huge for me.

I missed my second tai chi chih class on Wednesday. It was nearly 80 degrees out and the classroom was not air conditioned and the windows don't open. I walked in, felt the heat and turned right around and left.

Outside I had this titillating conversation with the building manager.

"It's hot as hell in there"
"The air isn't turned on" he replies.
"I noticed that, hence the hot as hellness"
"Air comes on in May, it's March" he tells me smugly.
"Yes, but it's 80 degrees today"
He counters with "Yes, but it's March"

I walked away to my air conditioned car.

As always my cookie is Hope.

We played dress up in her room. She has a trunk full of costumes.

Have a good weekend everybody.

'You've Been Trumped'

thanks for all the get better wishes - whatever I've got is slowly retreating
I caught an interview with Anthony Baxter  the creator of a documentary film called  You’ve Been Trumped

The story of unbelievable might against people and the planet.

Donald Trump, with the help of local officials and the Scottish Government, has terrorized the residents of a small town in Scotland and permanently destroyed acres of precious dunes.

After all, he needs another building to put his name on.

I saw several scenes from the film and hope to see all of it as soon as Baxter can raise the funds needed to get it widely distributed. I contributed the cost of 2 tickets to a crappy Hollywood blockbuster to his cause, the irony amused me.

I enjoy an opportunity to point out the ever increasing blind powerful destruction caused by huge unregulated corporations. It's more delicious when a vile douche asshat scum spewer like Trump is at the top. It's more necessary when this same spewer continues to insinuate himself into the 2012 Presidential election.

silly sidebar
isn't it astounding how many of these spewers need to speak with their fingers?

Media Whores Meet

Sarah Palin touched down in NYC last night as she continues her “international” bus tour of the East Coast. At first it was assumed she would stop to heckle David Letterman but those plans were scratched when the bus passed the Ed Sullivan Theater; Sarah assumed Dave doesn’t tape there anymore.

Not to be ignored Sarah headed for Trump Plaza and was thrilled with the coinky-dink of meeting Donald Trump there.

Just before greeting Palin Donald was overheard muttering that her limo was so much bigger than his. His assistant calmed him by explaining that it was a bus normally used by real people as a mode of transportation.

Known for shunning the paparazzi to protect her children Sarah shyly bowed her head as Donald explained that all the dark people around her were not necessarily his servants, some were just NYers who happened to walk by. Sarah commented on how amazing it was to her that so many of them looked like President Obama.

An intrepid reporter for ABC 7 was able to corner Trump long enough to get this response to the question of what is Palin’s IQ.

At dinner Donald ate pizza with a fork since his hands are already dirty enough while Sarah squealed with delight over the “One Nation-ness” of EyeTalians and Jews coming together to put cheese and sauce on matzoh and make it a meal.

While exchanging goodbyes Donald invited Sarah to join him at one of his failed casinos in Atlantic City. Sarah was surprised to learn that the lost city of Atlantic had been found and congratulated Donald on another job well done.

As what Jon Stewart calls the “Driving Miss Crazy” tour bus headed back to the open road Trump’s security people struggled to catch up. Apparently some of Sarah’s relatives had left the Trump penthouse with unauthorized souvenirs.

Stay tuned …

Crazy never runs out of gas.

Three Men and A Joke

The White House Correspondents Dinner was held this weekend.

The Host

The Donald

The President

Host Seth Meyers (from SNL) told my favorite joke of the evening ...

"Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising, I just assumed he was running as a joke."

He also went on to say ...

"Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president."

So true, this time they won't need to go all the way to Alaska for a bimbo.

The President had some good lines as well. He addressed The Donald's alleged Presidential run by saying that the billionaire businessman could bring change to the White House, transforming it from a stately mansion into a tacky casino with a whirlpool in the garden.

President Obama congratulated Trump on forcing his birth certificate to be published and then said that

Trump could now focus on the serious issues, from whether the moon landing actually happened to "where are Biggie and Tupac?"

Obama then offered to show his live birth video, which turned out to be a clip from the Disney film, "The Lion King."

Knowing his audience the President said " I want to make clear to the Fox News Table - that was a joke."

HERE - there are photos and videos too.

The Donald didn't tell any jokes, he just appeared as one and was booed entering the venue.

Having Tea With The Donald

So I thought I'd step away from the stress of my day to day life to delve into a bit of politics.

Oh wait ...

I have to share my feelings about this ...

Anyone who claims to not understand why this is racially motivated is a moron or a liar. Anyone who doesn't understand the history of comparing black people to monkeys needs to read a bit more - and quick, before the Texans change all the books.

I don't know where this photo originated but it was forwarded all over the country by a Tea Party chairwoman from Orange County, CA. The text - "now we know why he can't produce a birth certificate" was also included.

A large segment of this country has lost its collective fucking mind because they have a black President with a "funny" name.

Some asshole on O'Reilly suggested President Obama be given a math test to prove he understand numbers since this prick doesn't like the President's budget.

And if anyone is going to say to me that Bush was mocked by us liberal progressives my first answer would be - not this way. Never with filth and prejudice and ignorance. We simply didn't want a dumb puppet letting Cheney and Co. spit in the face of the Constitution.

Racism is vile. It damages people. It tears society apart.

The very next person who tells me the Tea Party is not a racist organization can kiss my white ass.

And then there's ...

This bloated piece of crap who spends most of his time ogling young women in swimsuits told GMA that he has a team of investigators working on President Obama's birth certificate. What are they doing? Destroying it?

This loser wants to run America like he does his self-proclaimed successful empire? Really. He has filed for bankruptcy more times than he's bellowed "You're Fired", he couldn't even keep a casino afloat. A casino!

Of course he'd swear I'm wrong and then call me a dozen disgusting names but this guy has cooked more books than Todd Palin has cooked meth.

And that Bill O'Reilly is my No Spin Zone.
