soooooooooo the world is all excited today!!! president obama announced the end of the iraqui war! nine years! and he's done it! ended the war and is bringing home all the troops - before the end of the year! frigging amazing!!!! isn't he a terrific president! wow - look what he's done! he's killed osama, and countless others in the leadership, brought about ghaddfi's death - - the man is simply awesome!
now - before my cynicism overwhelms you - - let me state that i am overjoyed that our troops are coming home! it's way past due! they've performed way over and above expectations for nine long years and are well deserving of all accolades for their service....wouldst that afghanistan, libya and central africa also be voided of all our forces before the end of the year!
now lets look at the political spin going on here.... our dear leader - contrary to the media spin - has very little say in this one. the SOFA (status of forces agreement) with iraq expires on 31 dec 2011. and the iraquis don't want to extend, renew or have any part in any further involvement of our troops in their country. so the SOFA being what it is - requires that upon expiration all our forces be removed from that country!
obama couldn't change that without the agreement, endorsement of the iraquis - which ain't gonna happen.... but it's fun watching the political pundits spinning this one into hero status for obama.......and the left's gonna lap it right up.....this may get him his second term....
sheesh........

debate!????
so last night was the first of (ho hum) the presidential debates.
it was live on msnbc - which is probably why it had no audience - however, i'm sure the lousy host (brian williams was an embarrassment to the media family), terrible questions (i almost choked at the very first question, sheesh).
this was a media scam - nothing more.
i get a kick out of folks who are grading/rating the performers (that's what they were doing - performing)!
ms bachmann is a sad gop joke. can't imagine how/why she's taken seriously by anyone.
govs perry and romney are simply big ? remember, i don't like romney anyway, and perry (contrary to popular opinion) is not well liked here in texas.....
newt is simply not relevant - way out of his league - needs to call it in and find a rocker somwhere..
huntsman - much as i like him and his ideas - seems to be coming on as a centrist, and i really don't understand that.....
there was nothing impressive, nor anything new in this debate. i see it as simply a media show where the media got to show off and try to setup their favorite candidates (romney & perry)....
disappointing - to say the least......
NOTE: change one! - - it's been brought to my attention - by more than one person - that i neglected to say anything about ron paul's performance in this show. i need to correct that - -
paul is an enigma - i'm not sure how take him - the man has been around forever - has made the presidential bid in the past - found no takers and little in the way of support, be it public or corporate. nothing against the guy - i like things i've read about him and his ideas and his stands - - but what's different? why now? i'm still open on him - i'm listening mr. paul - - what do you have now that you didn't have last time? or before that? are you just another 'career politician' like perry, romney, gingrich and the others?

more bachmann stuff......
it's kinda funny actually - - here in our small town of San Angelo, in the midst of a large, red state - our local newspaper has distinct leanings to the left - sometimes even the far left.
being the tolerant conservatives that we all are, we put up with it - express ourselves in letters to the editor and the online chats....
told ya that to tell ya this -- the big guy at the paper did this editorial on ms. bachmann.....it's almost complimentary - but he does manage to lean it to the left too...
i mean - gee whiz, if the the left is liking this looney-tunes woman, who are we to complain?! let's just vote her in!
No Matter what happens next, Bachmann's makeover splendid!

michele bachmann? why?
i posted a few days ago about ms. bachmann - indicating i didn't like her and didn't understand why she was such a popular presidential hopeful. i was asked in the comments to expound on why i don't like her as a candidate.
((by the way)) i still don't understand that attraction she seems to be generating.
and finally, today, someone was able to put my exact thoughts into a commentary!!!
i've read commentary by LZ Granderson before - sometimes i understand and like what he says, sometimes not so much - - for me that's not a problem - - i'd hate to be in agreement with everything everyone wrote!
anyway here's a link to his Bachmann piece - - check it out - - he's right on....
Michele Bachmann? I just don't get it...

acquittal!!!! not guilty!!!!!!!
Casey Anthony found not guilty of murder of daughter
after over three years of the media pounding into our heads and hearts that casey anthony murdered poor little caylee, the american public is today in shambles after a jury found casey not guilty!!!
there's a lawyer show on tv that for the past three years has done nothing but pump out garbage about how guilty casey is.....(right nancy?)
there have already this afternoon been some of the most grievous threats you can imagine against casey and her parents! rogue vengeance is being called for - one lady told me on FB that she could put a bullet between casey's eyes!!
my opinion of her guilt or innocence is not important (frankly, i don't know, i wasn't there and i find the media evidence shakey - but i do think she's guilty of something involving that poor little girl).
unfortunately, in this particular case - our justice system worked as advertised. there simply wasn't any, or enough evidence to convince a jury to find her guilty.
the lawyers didn't do their jobs. the investigators didn't do their jobs. but the system worked.
the media is devastated - they've wasted over three years pounding the guilt of this person into the public (hell, into the world!) - - and now they've been shot down.
it's a media failure! how can we possibly believe anything the media says now?
nancy, tell me it's not true! your entire tv career has been built upon this persons guilt!
what a frenzy! calls for public lynching! actually read a piece where a group is talking of storming the jail and taking care of justice themselves - in caylee's name (of course)........ disgusting
you know the family will have a book(s) out soon - a 'made for tv movie' will be out any day now - - and the sales will go through the roof! guaranteed - the public will become just as guilty as the family and will support them with viewship and readership of books, movies and tv extravaganzas....
sad - all around sad - - fortunately, casey will answer for her actions someday - "vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord" RIP caylee

why? why? why?
why are the media idiots fawning over this woman?!
Michelle Bachman
this is one huge reason why i have such problems with the GOP. although, we (the public) were dumb enough to elect our current president - so i'm sure we're dumb enough to elect this idiot also......
scary scary......

presidential candidates (again)
i think i've found a candidate in whom i'm interested! i like his background, i like things he has accomplished thus far and i like what i'm reading about him as i check him out.
jon huntsman jr. - - current ambassador to china has tossed his hat into the ring for the 2012 presidential bid. based on what i've read thus far - i like the guy.
here are a couple links to articles from the washington post:
first, a look at why huntsman would be a good candidate
then a look at why huntsman would NOT be a good candidate
here's some more information regarding huntsman's candidacy and background
one last article to provide some perspective
the media appears to be pushing huntsman as a "moderate" republican - however someone with whom even the staunchest of tea partiers can get along with.
apparently (according to the media articles) the fact the huntsman has been serving in the obama administration is something of a negative. i'm not sure i would agree with that - after all the man and his family have been in china for the past two years!! and before that he was governor of utah - and a good one at that!
i think i'll keep my eye on mr huntsman - - possibly a gop'er worth supporting....
