Memo to the Queen

Dear Queen Liz:

Please don’t crown your son as king. PLEASE. He’s a kook. He says weird stuff all the time. He must get it from his father. Remember what Prince Philip said, about reincarnation?

“If I could be reincarnated, I would wish to return to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”

:duncehat:

That’s positive leadership for ya.

Well, bonnie Prince Charles isn’t any better. As a matter of fact, I think he may be worse, because he takes things seriously. Take a look at the latest thing your son had to say:

“We are, of course, witnessing what some people call the sixth great extinction event – the continued erosion of much of the Earth’s vital biodiversity caused by a whole host of pressures, from the rising demand for land to the corrosive effects of all kinds of pollution,” he said.

Now, I’m not against being good stewards of the earth’s resources, but I think Charlie’s taking the WWF extinction a BIT too personally. We don’t worship Nature, dear.

In Charles’ defense, he does — on occasion — say something sane. Like his statement that teenagers should be bombarded with activities to prevent them from forming gangs. Yay, team. I also think young people should work until they’re exhausted. Idle teenagers get into trouble. Make ‘em chop wood and clean litter and scrub subway floors, I say.

Still, Charles is a little too weird. He’s also cheated on his wife and been, in general, a rather strange chap. I have high hopes for William. Hopefully, you do, too.

Respectfully yours,
Mrs. Crabby

P.S. If at any time you need advice in other matters of state, feel free to call or write. Or leave a comment. Thanks.

Operation Odyssey Dawn? What, Is That The Name of Your Kid?

Odyssey Dawn? That’s what President Obama’s [unconstitutional] military strikes into Libya are named? LOL. I dunno, it just sounds kind of funny, like a girl’s name.

You all know I usually try to avoid politics and current events on this blog (*snicker*) but I got this funny in my email and just HAVE to share.

Apparently the White House tossed out a number of perfectly good names before arriving at “Operation Odyssey Dawn”:

10.Operation Nine Months In The Senate Didn’t Prepare Me For This
9. Operation Organizing for Libya
8. Operation Double Standard
7. Operation FINE! I’ll Do Something
6. Operation Enduring Narcissism
5. Operation So That’s What the Red Button Does
4. Operation France Backed Me Into A Corner
3. Operation Start Without Me
2. Operation Unlike Bush Wars This One Is Justified Because Hey Look A Squirrel
1. Operation Aimless Fury

Hee hee! I especially like #1 and #2. SO apropos! Hahahahah!!!

OK, enough fooling around. Turn off those sweet samsung 3d tvs and get back to work, everyone!

So Where’s the Media Outrage About the Gas Prices?

… and the “war” in Afghanistan and Iraq?

Please… if this doesn’t prove that the media is biased, I don’t know what is. When their guy wasn’t in the Oval Office, ALL they did was go on and on about high gas prices and the wars. It was making me sick.

Now that gas prices are nearly $4 and the “war” rages on….

< crickets chirping >

Not a peep.

What’s going on?????? All very unfair, I tell you.

Oh well, like this is all one big surprise, as if we expect the media and etc to tell the truth…

I can no longer read the news headlines. They’ll give me an ulcer or an aneurysm. Plus, I’m too busy working like a slave trying to pay my taxes to make ends meet. :-p Although, working does have its benefits. :D I like the technology that helps me become more efficient. I am currently trying to tell my boss that I need an iPad so that I can make a Conference call when I need to. :D In case you are wondering, I’m self-employed. Hah.

Anyway… the state of things in the country make me uneasy. And the absolute silence from the media makes it worse.
:cwy:

I Sure Wanted Some Hope and Change

Not that I voted for our current president. Not that I really believed he would REALLY give any of that hopey changey stuff. Nope. But still, one thing I was *kinda* hoping for was a reversal of the Patriot Act, our country pulling out of Afghanistan and Iraq, and maybe some final consensus and regulation about diet pills that work. So far, none of that.

I just found out that the Pres extended certain portions of the Patriot Act. Privacy rights activists are unhappy. The extensions include law enforcement to continue wiretapping communication devices (uh, cell phones), a “special court” to access business and library records of “suspected” terrorists, and surveillance of non-American “lone wolf” suspects (which is not a bad provision).

By the way, who wouldn’t be a privacy rights person? Is there anyone who is anti-privacy (besides Eric Schmidt, I mean)?? How can we use the phrase “privacy rights groups.” It’s like saying “anti-family” with “pro-family” or “anti-life” with “pro-life.” Whatever. Just seems weird.

The article I saw (Wash Post) didn’t say when these provisions are set to expire. Huh.

Quit the Blame Game! And Other Musings

Have you noticed how the blame hounds took mere seconds to JUMP on the “Arizona Shooter” story?? Both sides of the table, too– liberals and conservatives! Sheesh, in the past, the hounds usually waited a few days to allow folks to mourn before using a tragedy to shove another agenda down people’s throats. Now, like Halloween in July, the hounds can’t start the show soon enough!

I’m tired of it. These guys are disgusting. I’m going to close my eyes and ears from it all.

You know, I have pergo floors to install, bills to pay, neighbor kids to scream at. I don’t need to have another goofy political agenda shoved down my throat because some lobbyists seeks opportunity. And DON’T YOU DARE TAKE AWAY MY SECOND AMENDMENT. Just sayin’.

In other news, we got lots o’ snow in the Northeast, did you know? It’s been a pretty good (average) season for snow. But then again, maybe liberals will outlaw snow because someone died of hypothermia… or maybe conservatives will outlaw meteorology because the weatherman was dead wrong when he said we’d only get an inch. And by the way– HA HA was he joking? Yesterday, we got 18 inches. It just wouldn’t stop. Even yesterday afternoon, when we already had 6 inches on the ground, the weather prophets were saying the storm would “taper off” any moment, and total accumulation would be 1-3 inches.

You know, it’s times like this that I really think we SHOULD just flip a coin.

So… how are you? Ready to take a break from the news yet? What are you doing this weekend?

The Price You Pay For Being No. 2

…is that Number One can boss you around.

China tells U.S. to keep out of South China Sea dispute

Anyone who doesn’t think that China has expansionist intentions has got their head in the sand. China is not a sleeping giant, it’s a sleeping DRAGON. And believe you me, you let this creature get enough fuel, it will breathe it’s flames on you.

For many, many years now, the United States has been kowtowing to China– socially, politically, and especially economically. We have handed over our manufacturing to them on a silver platter. What do you think they are going to do, sit fat and happy like America?

No, they are going to usurp power. Taiwan, Japan, the Asian islands, and then, Europe and the U.S. To think otherwise is idiocy.
