National Media Either Stupid or Crafty

Gov. Romney was secretly videoed speaking to a private fund raiser. I understand it was done by the grandson of Jimmy Carter who wanted to get back at Romney for remarks he supposed said about former President Carter. Doesn't do much for the Carter name or legacy. Nor does it really harm Gov. Romney's prospects for the White House. Suddenly, when the media feared Romney was gaining in the polls, this video shows up in September, when it was recorded back in May. Yes, we clearly hear Gov. Romney say that 47% of the American electorate pays no income tax. Surprise! That is correct. We also hear Romney say that a certain percentage of the electorate are going to vote for Obama and the Democrat Party no matter what. Surprise! He is dead-on right again. So, what's all the buzz and stir about on the national news media? It's the commend Romney makes when he says, "I'm not concerned about that 47%." EVERYONE from the President on down is twisting this to say that Romney doesn't care about that 47% of the US citizens. Give us all a break. We heard what he said. He said that those people would vote for Obama no matter what so his concern was not for trying to win that group. He can't win them. So why try? This is absolutely NO DIFFERENT than candidate Obama in his first run saying that he was not concerned with the Bible-believing, gun-owning conservatives. He couldn't win their vote no matter how hard he tried, so why bother? Neither candidate said they didn't care about those people as people or as citizens or as having needs. They CLEARLY said they need not concern themselves about trying to win that group. So why don't the media wonks report it right? Well, that's simple: because they want to sway the undecided voters into thinking Romney said something that he didn't say. Now these media types look into the camera with furrowed brows and frowns and say, "Gov Romney said today that he doesn't care about the 47% of American's who don't pay taxes." And Obama appears on late night TV saying, "One thing I've learned since being President is that you work for all the people." HEY, did you get that: "One thing I've learned since being President . . ." Which sounds like he didn't know it before. Or he didn't believe it. He sure didn't sound like it when he ran the first time. I still don't believe he believes it, but he has to say it because it sounds right. His actions speak much louder than his words. So, either the national news media are totally ignorant and can't seem to understand what a person is saying IN CONTEXT, or they are decidedly sinister and trying to sway opinion away from Romney. I firmly believe the latter. The liberal media have an agenda and a candidate. By the way, who makes most of the millions and millions of dollars spent on campaign advertising? Yep, TV networks. If they think it is so terrible that campaigns raise and spend so much money, then why don't they refuse to accept that money and the ads, or give the money to the poor they supposedly stand up for. The sheer hypocrisy makes me sick.

Liberal Media Hypocrisy Over Olympics

Am I the only one who sees this? I mean, back home in the US of A we forbid anyone from being a loser. Right? I mean we did away with letter grading in schools lest we give kids a complex or bad image of themselves. Nobody "wins" or "loses" anymore. Everybody gets a prize. Just show up and your parents get a bumper sticker that says "My kid is a genius," or something to that effect. Well, likewise, don't you think that anyone who shows up at the Olympics wearing spandex leotards or a Speedo (or in the case of beach volleyball a bikini about four sizes too small for the body it's on) ought to win a prize? Yet here we are participating in Olympics that award winners gold, silver and bronze medals plus big cash payments. All the losers are left standing on the sidelines weeping as their coaches set up appointments with psychologists via their smart phones to try to salvage their wrecked lives. Now I surely hope that anyone reading this (and no one seems to) will know that I am being very facetious. If the Olympics teach American youth anything it is that only ONE person or team wins the gold medal in any event. Everybody can't be the winner. And their being told otherwise by American public schools, liberals and the media is just plain wrong. Along with being told how good, smart, beautiful, important, etc. they are, they need to learn how to fail. Don't slink away and hide, sucking your thumb. It isn't the end of the world; pick yourself up and move on. You know, get back on that horse and show it whose boss. That's real life.

Gross Out!

Have you ever been really grossed out? I mean something grabbed you by the throat and almost brought you to your knees gagging? No, I didn’t take the aluminum foil off something in the refrigerator and find maggots working, but if you thought that, then you’re not far from what I am talking about. For seven years I have sat in the same chair at work. The chair was there when I arrived. It worked, it fit, so I didn’t question it. I did add a sheepskin to keep it cool in summer and warm in winter. No, I didn’t find worms in the sheepskin. But moths have worked on it over the years. Recently this pneumatically adjustable chair lost its ability to hold air and collapsed all the way down, which rendered it useless, since that puts my computer keyboard at nose level. So, in frustration, I flipped the chair over hoping to discover either something unplugged or a label with manufacturer information to get help repairing it. When I flipped it over, I noted the underside of the seat had an off-white fabric covering with labels pasted on it. But I also noticed something all over the left side of this fabric and even on the labels on that side. Upon closer examination it became quite clear what it was—and that’s when my knees buckled and my lunch did a back flip. What I was looking at (and almost touching—gag) was nasal deposits. You know, finger in nostril, hand down beside chair, finger wiped on cloth bottom. Not just a time or two, but hundreds of times. The only thing that could have made this worse was for maggots to have been working in it. Sorry, I know this is gross. And my wife told me not to tell anyone. I wanted to take photos and post them on Facebook, but she absolutely forbade it upon pain of . . . well, never mind. So, my only recourse to get this nightmare out of my head was my blog, which she never reads. My advice: if you are sitting at work in a chair that you inherited from someone else, don’t flip it over.
