Stephen Colbert, Money Quote "Any Alpha Dog Can Hump Your Leg.....But What Really Puts Harold Ford At The Head Of The Butt Sniffing Chain - Is That He Isn't Pulling This Reversal In Clustermunch, Iowa." Some Where Papa Bear Is Smiling.
My husband, and I turned on the State Of The Union Address, last night because of the non stop hype from our news media. The President is going to speak, he's going to give a speech. This is news? We tune in, and the first thing that starts happening - The Speaker Of The House - Nancy Pelosi, starts popping up, and down in her seat. Now, I am no Nancy Pelosi fan. Our views on the Republic, don't overlap anywhere, there is nothing but daylight, and air between how the Speaker views this country, and how I view this country. But there she is popping up, and down, up and down, and I keep thinking, don't let Grandma fall, and break a hip. My husband points out to me, that Joe Biden's head keeps bobbing, every time the President speaks. Myhusband says to me, look, Joe Biden's turned into a bobble head doll. It was difficult to focus on what the President was saying, but while I was listening to him, something popped into my head, that really never crosses my mind "This is soo... boring, this must be what's it's like to be on a date with your own brother"
You're thinking to yourself maybe ten minutes into the date, he's there to hit you up for another loan, yep he's after the "Thirty Billion Of Tarp Money" that has somehow miraculously been repaid to the American Tax Payers. He wants to spend it on? I'm not really sure because ...Grandma starts clapping like a circus seal. What's his pitch, he's gonna start budgeting next year 2011...The infamous Wimpy proposal "Cook me up a hamburger. I will gladly pay you Thursday."
Right now, I can tell the President, no one is very excited about his budgeting skills. Take his Valentine's Day Date with his wife last year, and how much it cost. Imagine if the cost of that Valentine's Day Date last year 2009, had been spent on say "Shelter Boxes" for homeless Haitians this year.The President, and First Lady, could Share Their Love, and LEAD by example.
The bottom line is the President's poll numbers are dropping, and he needs a bump. Besides the above suggestion. The common sense solutions, he was instructing the legislature to employ on behalf of the American people. I know one action he could take, that would cause his poll numbers to go up Dramatically.
After our President responded to the Heartbreaking Disaster in Haiti. Hugo Chavez was heard to have this to say:
Hugo Chavez, in his statements about America's earthquake relief, called for Obama to send doctors, not troops. Chavez who is a hero of the left in this country called Obama's name in the statement and said " Obama! you need to send doctors and food,boy! not military with guns! They have enough guns there now Boy!."
Note to: Maureen Dowd, no imagination required, Chavez called our President Boy, he is on the record. Although digressing a bit, I was scanning the chamber last night, during the President's address, for Joe Wilson, just hoping he would shout out anything or maybe start a wave - every time the President mentioned, evil lobbyist .
So here is what the President needs to do, He needs to call up the Bird Lover, to our south, and request, no tell Chavez, and his parrot, to meet him on the Tarmac, for whatever passes for an Airport down there in Venezuela. When Hugo goes to greet him, and give him a hug, the President bitch slaps him, points his finger in his face, and gives him the look, he reserves for Joe Biden. Then turn around, get back on Air Force One, and come home. The President's poll numbers will shoot up.
The President wrapped up his speech with these words last night "Don't Give Up, IWon't Give Up" that sounded really familiar. And I think, I know what the President's ring tone is now.
Uh Huh, I don't care what Bill Clinton told, advised the President, about relating to bitter, gun clinging, bible hugging, stranger avoiders. I'm not going to slow dance with my own brother! Why didn't the President just close with his usual parting gesture?.....no not that one, I mean this one "Live Long And Prosper"
And I won't give up if you don't give up I won't give up if you don't give up I won't give up if you don't give up I won't give up if you don't give up
"When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go"
New York Times Columnist Maureen Dowd, likes to compare our President to Mr Spock. If you have been living under a rock or in a cave in say Afghanistan, Mr Spock, is a main character in the Star Trek Franchise. I am not sure why Maureen likens our President to Mr Spock? I myself use writing devices all the time - well Duh! If Maureen's premise is correct, that our President is like Mr Spock, and he only makes cool logical detached choices. It doesn't explain when Mr Spock goes off script because of his Human nature. Mr Spock was the result of an inter species union. Mr Spock is half Human, and half Vulcan. Mr Spock although born to a Human mother was born on Vulcan so he was an Alien to his mother's home planet. Is Maureen Dowd, telling us that President Obama is alien to Human interaction, he is above relating to Earthlings? Is she trying to tell us he is "A Brother From Another Planet" GRIN.
I think the President of the United States of America, needs to be a good chess player, and he needs to surround himself with good chess players. Playing for team USA, and by extension Team Earth. The bottom level of the chess board is the President, playing his own Democrat Party's Politics. The second - mid level our Domestic Politics, and the top level our Foreign Politics- Our National Interest.
Tonight President Obama, is going to deliver, The State of The Union Speech. From what is being leaked, it will be a strong populist speech SEE second level. The President has been paying a lot of attention to the bottom level of his chess board. Now he is turning his attention to his second level game. Who will the speech be directed at? What will the message be? President Obama, met with former President Bill Clinton a couple of weeks ago. Monica Crowley wrote about this meeting in her article, The Return Of 42. Former President Bill Clinton, has many talents, one of them is his ability to convince the American People, he could feel their pain. If President Obama is taking any advice from 42, I expect to get a nice warm tongue bath tonight ;)
In the end, my opinion stays the same, we need Government out of the Private Sector. The Government does not drive innovation, People - Human Beings drive innovation. The Government penalizes those innovators by over taxing, and over regulating them. This really isn't rocket science, although I'm sure Mr Spock, is well versed in rocket science...So what is Maureen Dowd, really trying to tell us with her comparisons of President Obama to Mr Spock? The President of the United States is a Space Cadet?
Imus guest this morning Tom Friedman, author, and columnist for the New York Times. Tom Friedman, Confused with a chance of Goulash? That's what I thought this morning when I was watching Tom Friedman, and his analysis of the Tea Party Movement. Along with his subsequent dismissal of the Tea Party Movement. Describing the Tea Party Movement as a movement to "Stop" the present administration's legislation. Or thinly veiled, Progressive talking points, code for "Republicans Are The Party Of No" This is why the Democrats, were caught unaware in Massachusetts. Independents elected Scott Brown with the help of PUMAS. This is not a Far Right Wing Republican movement. I do understand why the Republicans, would like to co opt this populist movement. The Tea Party Movement is made up of Democrats, Independents, Republicans, Libertarians, etc.
I am always amazed when people misinterpret when the President speaks. For example the President remarked on Scott Brown's recent Win in Massachusetts. He stated, that the same public mood that got him elected also got Scott Brown elected. That's true, people forget that McCain/Palin, were doing pretty well in the Polls before the Economic Meltdown. That meltdown, was followed by George W Bush, pushing and passing the first TARP. I listen to the Liberal media complain, why didn't all these people "Teabaggers" protest when George W Bush was President? If these Tea Party people, don't like Big Government Spending, why didn't they protest during George W Bush's term? That's what the Obama/Biden WIN was a Protest against the First TARP. Yes it's true, then Senator Obama also voted for the First TARP. But our current President, never ran as a Conservative Republican, he didn't run as a Fiscal Conservative, oh he likes to sprinkle references to Republican Presidents in his speeches. For example Reagan and Lincoln, that doesn't make him a Fiscally Conservative Republican, which he never Pretended to be.
Tom Friedman, the President's golf buddy, advises the President, not to react to the Populist mood sweeping across the country. Of course not, why would the President after witnessing the stunning loss of a Senate seat held by the most Liberal member of the US Senate - Ted M Kennedy, in Bluest Massachusetts, listen to the Will of thePeople SARC!Tom Friedman is doing his best to uphold the Pretense that Americans really want Big Government, Crippling Debt. And we will pay any price, including our hard fought for liberties and freedom, for an abomination of a health insurance reform bill. Where in the U.S. Constitution does it state, that our Government can force us to buy anything from the private sector? Because that is what an Individual Mandate amounts to, forcing Americans to buy private health insurance or be fined. Meaning if you don't, you will become a law breaker. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?
I know Tom Friedman isn't stupid so what is he doing? My first thought was - giving his golf buddy really bad advice. Tom Friedman still thinks the Pretense of a ground swell support for a fantasy Progressive agenda, is still do able? Da Nile isn't just a river in Egypt anymore. So what is Tom Friedman about with his advise to ignore the current populist movement? Turns out his patriotic duty. It turns out there is a history of upholding Public Pretense, Hustlers, and Hypocrisy. Okay I was watching Walter McDougal speaking on his book, Throes of Democracy this past Sunday, on C SPAN 3. Yes I watch C SPAN 3 segments on American History. I think I mentioned before I am a Nerd, I think blogging proves this point. If you want to understand the big picture of what's going in this country right now, it is well worth watching Mr McDougal's explanation of why Americans Lie To Each Other - Why We Insist On Pretense. You can click on the graphic above to watch the video. I think it also explains Mr Friedman's posture toward the populist movement in this country. Yes it's going to cause a lot of political upheaval but I don't think it's going to tear the Union apart.
The gist of Mr McDougal's point, we have a history of lying to each other to keep the Union intact. It's when we drop the Pretenses, that is when we get into trouble SEE "Civil War" He mentions the tradition of American Hustlers, and the Hypocrisy, that is used as the glue that holds our Union together.
Obama should make the centerpiece of his presidency mobilizing a million new start-up companies that won’t just give us temporary highway jobs, but lasting good jobs that keep America on the cutting edge. The best way to counter the Tea Party movement, which is all about stopping things, is with an Innovation Movement, which is all about starting things. Without inventing more new products and services that make people more productive, healthier or entertained — that we can sell around the world — we’ll never be able to afford the health care our people need, let alone pay off our debts.
I disagree with Mr Friedman, the Tea Party Movement is all about NOT enslaving the Individual, the Innovator to the Collective. This Country was founded on Life, Liberty And The Pursuit of Happiness. I understand how the Collectivist view the American People. They brag about us all the time "The American People's High Level Of Productivity" That's true enough, we do have a high level of productivity in this country. They count on our productivity to produce the GDP, and generate taxes. We are seen as Workers by institutionalized Politicians not as Citizens. Mr Friedman, is upholding the Pretense that our current Progressive led government is on the side of the American Citizen. If that were true, they wouldn't be using our labor produced taxes, to spend us into an unsustainable debt.
Tom Friedman on Imus In The Morning
The Tea Party Movement is a symbol to remind those who do the people's business at every level of OUR Government - We The People are the Power in this Country. Not the elected public servants we send to Washington D.C. "We Are Done With Pretenses".
I myself drive a truck a red GM Sonoma this is the model, Mine needs a new paint job, we had a bad hail storm last year. BUT it's a truck so it's not like it matters if it looks purty. I can haul my dogs around in it just fine.
Go ahead, take a minute imagine. Let's see the President has called me a Gun Clinging, Bible Hugging, Stranger Avoider, and now he has a problem with my ride? Hey it's not my fault, my truck wasn't on the cash for clunkers list.
CROWLEY: The Return Of 42 Clinton counsel might prove counterproductive By Monica Crowley, Washington Times
Bubba is back. After lying low during President Obama's first year in order to reassure the worrywarts (like his wife) that he wouldn't cause a ruckus or be an attention hog, former President Bill Clinton is back on the scene. He parachuted into the Massachusetts Senate race to campaign for the hapless Democratic state Attorney General Martha Coakley and joined forces with former President George W. Bush to coordinate aid for earthquake-shattered Haiti.
But two weeks ago, Mr. Clinton also did something else: He attended a hastily arranged private tete-a-tete with Mr. Obama.
As far as Bubba goes, people forget Bill Clinton is a Hillbilly, and we do enjoy a colorful turn of phrase. Now Hillbillies are known for long drawn out protracted feuds, you know grudge holders...SEE Hatfield & McCoys.
What did the Obama campaign do, when they were running against Bubba's wife for the highest office in the land? They insinuated that Bill Clinton was a racist...that had to have stuck in his craw. I know, I thought it was pretty low, and I didn't even support Hillary Clinton's campaign. It comes down to how Big is Bill Clinton's EGO? No one knows but it must be HUGE ;)
If I was President Obama, being offered advice from any Clinton, I would be cautious......remember that old saying about, casting pearls before swine.....Just saying, Bill Clinton knows exactly what shoving this abomination, called health care insurance reform - in it's present form, down the American people's throats, will do to The Obama LEGACY.
Pearls before swine refers to a quotation from the discourse on holiness, a section of JesusChrist's Sermon on the Mount, implying that things should not be put in front of people who don't appreciate their value.

I am sending a picture of my lighted outside Xmas tree taken during the middle of our snow storm. From Darlene, In The Northern Neck Of Virginia.
From my fellow Maryland Fairfax Family Researcher, and cousin, Darlene. We are related through brothers. Mine: Hezekiah Fairfax born circa 1755, Charles County Maryland, and his younger half brother William Fairfax II born circa 1766/69, Charles County Maryland. They were both sons of William Fairfax Sr., and his wives Benedicta Blancett, and Elizabeth Buckner. Actually, we have found where we are also related through Calverts. Humphrey Calvert Sr., father of Constant (Calvert) Cornwell, and I through his elder brother Obediah Calvert Sr., both of Prince William Co.,Va., near Occoquan our old Virginy Home SMILE.
We do have a famous cousin, who fought for the South during the Civil War. He was the Grandson of Johnathan Fairfax, the eldest brother of Hezekiah & William Fairfax II. John Walter Fairfax son of Capt Henry Fairfax (War of 1812 Title) and brother of Martha Lindsey (Fairfax) Robertson. I have corresponded with the historical actress who plays Martha. Martha Lindsey Fairfax, married Thomas Bolling Robertson a descendant of Pocahontas. According to the linked post John Walter Fairfax was a descendant of Lord Fairfax. That's not true, the Maryland Fairfaxs worked for George Washington, who's first job was given to him by the then Lord Thomas Fairfax, proprietor of the Northern Neck Of Virginia. George A Washington was hired as a surveyor. The Virginia Fairfax Family & The Maryland Fairfax referred to each other as cousin, that is a familiar Southern custom. The Virginia Family Held the title Lord Cameron, their manor was Leeds Castle. The Maryland Fairfax branch, goes back to Viscount Thomas Fairfax of Emley, their manor was Gilling Castle. The Maryland Fairfax family were Catholics, and came into Maryland early. The Calverts, The Lord Baltimores, established Maryland as a place where Catholics could worship freely.
Some History of the Polish Arabian Breed, WWII & General George Patton.
A group of Polish Arabians was evacuated by the United States Army in 1945 and brought to the Kellogg Ranch for the Remount program. By the close of the war, most of Poland's most valuable bloodstock had been lost to Russia, but a small group of horses protected by General Patton was forwarded to the remount station at the Kellogg Ranch. Included in the herd was the stallion *Witez II, one of a triumvirate of young Polish stallions along with the Witraz and Wielki Szlem that had been sired by the promising Ofir in his brief two seasons at stud before the Russians removed him to their state farm at Tersk.

Wikipedia: Rita Hayworth Born Margarita del Carmen Cansino in Brooklyn, New York City, she was the daughter of flamenco dancer Eduardo Cansino, Sr., who was himself a Spaniard from Seville, and Ziegfeld girl Volga Hayworth who was of Irish and English descent. Her father wanted her to become a dancer while her mother hoped she'd become an actress.[2] Her grandfather, Antonio Cansino, was the most renowned exponent in his day of Spain's classical dances; he made the bolero famous. His dancing school in Madrid was world famous. He gave Hayworth her first instruction in dancing.[3]
"I didn't like it very much," revealed Hayworth, "but I didn't have the courage to tell my father, so I began taking the lessons. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, that was my girlhood."[4]
"From the time I was three and a half," Hayworth said, ". . . as soon as I could stand on my own feet, I was given dance lessons." She attended dance classes every day for a few years in a Carnegie Hall complex under the instruction of her uncle Angel Cansino.

UPDATE: THE OTHER MCCAIN, FOR THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR.
PASADENA, Calif. -- College football expert Stacey Mickles yesterday offered a bold prediction for tonight's BCS finale -- a repeat of top-ranked Alabama's 32-13 victory in the Southeastern Conference title game, which brought Florida QB Tim Tebow to tears.
"If we can make Tebow cry, we can make anybody cry," said Mickles, a Crimson Tide fan and Army sergeant currently stationed at Fort Dietrich, Maryland, who was in town for the game with her boyfriend and fellow soldier Richard McAlpin. KEEP READING HERE.
