I WANT A REALITY SHOW!!

JUST IN! - Nadya Suleman has already started production on her reality show. Her lawyer, Jeffrey Czech, is talking about the show, which apparently still has no title and no appearances from her herd of 14 children thus far'

HEY GUYS I WANT A REALITY SHOW!! I HAVE 14 COCKROACHES!!

That's right, 14.

I have one in my garage. Its name is Jesus. Every time I find it in a box I kill it and then it resurrects itself and I find it the next time I am in the garage and open a box. Then I yell, "Jesus!" and it yells back, "yup that's me!"

I have 3 that welcome me everytime I go down the driveway to get my mail. They seem to stay under my neighbor's mailbox in the grass and when I try to step on them they run screaming down the street yelling, "he hit me, he hit me, that big man is trying to hit me!" I tell you, its embarrassing.

Then there are the 5 that live in the pine tree at the front of my yard. Every time I decide to stroll around my castle and act like the lord of my domain, there they sit on "a branch too far" singing in unison a song I always hated, "Oh I've got a pair of brand new roller skates and you've got a brand new key..." Sheesh! What idiot wrote that song?

The other 5 live at the warehouse where my business is located and everytime I look under a work bench, one winks at me and says we love you Daddy! I feel like Jon Gosselin and want to run screaming down the street, "I ain't your Daddy and I can't take this any more!!"

Any way that's the story of my 14 cockroaches, so how about it Hollywood when do we start shooting my reality show??!!

Here We Go Again!

Here we go again!

At the very bottom of todays blog is a story from MSNBC regarding a news commentator’s belief that President Obama is a racist. It reinforces the one fear I had in voting for and seeing Obama elected. Can he avoid the types of “miss-speak” statements that previous presidents have made and then found themselves embroiled in a stupid and prolonged media examination of their broken promises (Bush 1 & taxes) or intelligence (Bush 2) or morality (Clinton). He has already left himself open to the type of criticism the first Bush endured for promising no raises in taxes by promising a new public health system open to all.

More important though is this silly miss-step he has most recently made by calling the police handling of Professor Gates arrest, “handled stupidly.” Although from my experience with police I would tend to agree with Obama’s too quick reaction, I would advise that this has opened the door for the Republican Party to play on the same fears that caused so many working class states such as Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and others to be difficult or impossible for Obama to win in his run in the primaries. Although he won in the end, you have to remember how many of the voters in those states that although they were Democrats, didn’t take to the idea of having a Black man as their President. Statements such as calling the Godlike figure (to conservatives and closet racists) of a white policeman, stupid, is horrifying to much of this country. I am not going to get into their herd like mentality but suffice it to say, doing what Obama did now makes him a target and I already hear daily statements like, “I told you so”.

The medical community has rallied in support of the present system of Health Insurance and are labeling Obama a socialist and any other nicely placed generalization they can come up with. The strange thing is that this comes from medical workers that are absolutely not affected financially one way or the other but they are brainwashed by the medical establishment run by DOCTORS, not nurses or research lab technicians. Doctors are the one’s concerned because they stand to lose the most and are probably the largest contributors to the inflated cost we now have to pay for health care. How else can they support their 6 figure salaries?

However I stray from my initial point and that is I feel Obama has made a major mistake in making the quick off the cuff remark that he did and it will continue to haunt him. Also my second point is why do we the public have to put up with a public television channel that is so blatantly biased toward Christian Right Conservative Republican views? Can’t a law be passed and enforced so that these idiots (Fox TV) can’t sit there daily spewing forth half truths and outright lies without providing a fair reporting of opposing views. I know we can’t censor them or I would just have them shut down but can’t we legislate some form of “equal time” laws as we did for politicians on TV. Why should one man, Rupert Murcoch, be allowed to own a public TV news operation and impose only his point of view on all unsuspecting viewers. Maybe my dream will come true and Bill Gates in his latest philanthropic action will buy Fox TV away from Murdoch and fire all the rabid conservative dogs running it and implement open minded reporting.

“Fox News Channel commentator Glenn Beck said he believes President Barack Obama is a racist. Beck made the statement during a guest appearance Tuesday on the "Fox & Friends" morning show. He said Obama has exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture."
His remarks came during a discussion of
Obama's reaction to the arrest of Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white policeman over a misunderstanding about a break-in at Gates' home.
An Obama spokesman, William Burton, said the
White House had no comment on Beck.
Beck's statement was challenged on the air by Fox host
Brian Kilmeade, who noted that most of the people who work for the nation's first black president are white.
"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people," Beck said. "He has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist."
Beck wondered, during the discussion, what other president would immediately jump on the police for their actions in the case. Obama said in a news conference that he believed the police acted stupidly in the case, but later backtracked from the statement and invited Gates and the police officer, Sgt. James Crowley, to the White House for a conciliatory meeting later this week.
Bill Shine, Fox News senior vice president of programming, told the TVNewswer Web site that Beck had "expressed a personal opinion which represented his own views, not those of the
Fox News Channel. And as with all commentators in the cable news arena, he is given the freedom to express his opinions."
Racial controversies are hardly new to presidents. In 2005, entertainer
Kanye West said during a telethon after Hurricane Katrina that President George W. Bush "doesn't care about black people."
Beck, also a radio host and best-selling author, was an immediate hit with Fox News Channel viewers, starting in January when he made the jump from HLN (formerly
CNN Headline News).Beck didn't speak about the racial comments on his own Tuesday Fox show”.
