9 things I've been meaning to say

1. I don't want to hear another thing about Michelle Obama's arms as long as I live.

2. The GOP is not dead. Enough already. I don't like the GOP. But the lathering foam that has been worked up by the chattering classes about about a party losing 2 elections is now officially ridiculous. Carter won in 1976 he had a Dem Congress, by 1980 everything had changed.

3. In the mean time I must say I am enjoying the GOP civil war.

4. The Libertarian Party should campaigning to peal away Republicans. They are missing an opportunity. A big chunk of the GOP could be ready to bolt given a choice.

5A. Bill Maher is not funny.

5B. Jay Leno isn't either. (Leno's humor is best described as "catskillian")

6. Why can no one ever make an announced visit to Iraq?

7. Hey Barry, Get off your ass about Don't Ask Don't Tell and the "defense" of marriage act. You PROMISED, dude. Promised to end DADT and promised to repeal that horrific law. Do it.

8. I tried to work up some "outrage" about what Wanda Sykes said at the Correspondence Roman Orgy...but, alas, I cannot. After 20 years of that man's rants, Rush blow back is deserved until proven otherwise. Nor does it bother me that Rush wants Obi to "fail". Every damn liberal worth his or her bone marrow wanted W to "fail". He graciously fulfilled our desires. The faux outrage on the cocktail party left pretty much says everything you need to know about that bunch.

9A. Everyone loves to hate Hollywood and yet, in the throws of a Depression, the top ten films made nearly 170 million dollars this weekend alone. Hollywood is the perfect Laissez-Faire business. No bailouts. No studio has been saved by the Federal government. The Ayn Rand rules of engagement run THE BIZ. Free market mouseketeers should be bowing down to Hollywood's genius. It works in good times and bad. This town wants to make money. That is it. I promise you if the population of the U.S. stopped choosing sex soaked, violence saturated, drug addled, adultery infested movies and TV - they'd stop being made. Everything would be Masterpiece Theater and Free Willy. Having said all that there will be a post this evening about Hollywood's stupid penchant for appearing "politically correct". This is ridiculous and should be railed against along with every other segment of this society that has weoponized language as an end run around censorship.

9B. Finally, if you don't like what a celebrity says then remember the only punishment celebrities understand is being ignored. Ignore them. It will drive them bat shit crazy.
