Halloween insanity
.
Update: I’ve been trying to buy one of these for the last 24 hours. They are sold out everywhere. People are buying them up like hotcakes…only not from Target. Can you say “backfire”?
Ok, so a California immigrants right group is all upset that Target is selling a Halloween costume depicting an illegal alien in an orange jumpsuit, holding a “Green Card”. The jumpsuit says “illegal alien” on the front.
The complaint is the usual stuff…the costume is offensive to immigrants, insensitive, racist, etc, etc.
Here’s a picture of the costume.
Now, y’all tell me just WHO is offended by this? I suspect there are some Men In Black who would really like to interview them.
But seriously, this is obviously a misunderstanding and no one would take this seriously, right? Wrong. Target is pulling the costume.

Barry: Hopenchange! IOC: Get lost.
.
How many of you have ever seen a guy in a white lab coat selling perfume at the cosmetics counter at Macy’s? Why not?
Maybe it’s because he’d have a hard time selling stuff he doesn’t use and doesn’t have credibility about…or maybe he can’t sell it because he doesn’t believe in it.
That’s why Barack Obama failed to get Chicago past the opening round of the IOC 2016 Olympics selection. He doesn’t believe in America. It was all about the money, political payback for his Chicago cronies, Obama’s own personal gain and IT SHOWED. Add that to a healthy does of misplaced ego, and you have all the ingredients of a screw-up.
His presentation was all about how America needed the Olympics. Why, we have people needing JOBS in Chicago! Michelle’s grandfather loved the Olympics (???), and above all, America is entitled to have these games…after all it’s all about HOPE, and CHANGE. I didn’t hear much about how America is the greatest country on earth and has so much to offer the people of the world and the Olympic Games.
OK, look. Rio was a natural, and I think the IOC made a good choice. But the real story here is Obama’s credibility with the world. Despite what the media would have you believe, it ain’t there, folks. The rock star image isn’t working. Why? Because running the free world is a serious thing, and the worlds leaders have already seen Barry doesn’t’ have what it takes.
Hey, when the FRENCH think the American President is weak,. We got us a problem, no?
Great lead-up to the Iran talks, Obama. I bet Imanutjob is laughing his tail off about now.

Flash Forward
.
I think I may have a new favorite TV show. The plot of Flash Forward is fairly straightforward. The entire population of Earth blacks out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. Everyone at the same time…and everyone has a different vision of themselves but all occurring on the same day in the future.
The plot itself is genius, as it opens up endless possible subplots, each as personal as the individual's visions. For instance, one character saw nothing, so he has assumed that he will die by the date in question.
The storyline so far centers around an FBI office attempting to discover what happened and why.
I’m especially interested in the subplot of the lead character and his wife. She saw herself with another man, and even though they have been honest about discussing the vision, the mere fact of the vision is sowing seeds of mistrust and is seemingly headed toward a self-fulfilling vision.
This series has endless scientific, philosophical, psychological, theological, etc possibilities. I hope the rest of the season is as good as the first two episodes.
But if you want to check it out, I would think it’s almost imperative you watch the first two episodes first.

Say WHAT?
.
Ok, this is a new one even on me, and I thought I had heard it all:
From a conference on slavery reparations at which U.S. Rep Steve Cohen, in full pander mode, attended :
(National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N'COBRA) chairwoman Njere) Alghance said it was time for Cohen to "go back to the table" and rectify the vestiges of what she called "post-slavery traumatic stress syndrome," manifested in high diabetes and hypertension rates among African Americans.
"post-slavery traumatic stress syndrome," ?
Lady, are you out of your cotton-pic… er, ever-loving MIND?
Just how low will some people grovel for a handout in this country?
Look, I am all for reparations, and I am not ashamed to say it. If anyone can find ANY former slave still living in the United States I will lead the charge to give him or her a sincere apology and monetary and land reparations.
What, may I ask , are the symptoms PSTSS (perhaps “pissed” for short ???
This country is headed straight for the loony farm. Get a good seat while they are still available.

Oh, No He DIDN'T....
.
What you see here is not Photoshopped, although I sincerely wish it was. The Dalai Lama arrived in Memphis today and was greeted by Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery with…a fist bump.
Welcome to the ghetto. Holy jeez.

Doo Doo Doot Doot Dooo....
.
I have to admit I have been a bit disappointed in RNC Chiarman Michael Steele…but he DID come out with this yesterday, daring Democrats to pass the health care debacle bill:
"You want it done? Pass the bill," Steele said. "But they know it's poisonous and they know the American people will not tolerate it. They're scrambling now and they're beginning to turn on each other because they've got a big problem, a political one, and they can't solve it."
Ooooo. Them’s fightin’ words, right? Well, maybe not. DNC spokeswimp Derrick Plummer offered this stinging comeback:
"I would just encourage (Steele) to encourage members of his party to work with the president so the 46 million Americans who are without health insurance have access to quality affordable health care that ensures choice and brings down cost,"
You can be sure when the Dems push bipartisanship they are in big trouble. Otherwise, they’d just give the finger to the GOP and the American people and do what they damn well please.
I’m lovin’ it, and I’m not talking about Mickey D’s.
