Elitism v Egalitarianism

Published by dfallis under Humor, Politics Edit This

Definitions courtesy of Education.Yahoo.Com:

Elitism:  1) The belief that certain persons or certain members of classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of perceived superiority, as intellect, social status, or financial resources. 2) a. the sense of entitlement enjoyed by a group or a class; b. control, rule, or domination by such a group or class.

Egalitarian: Affirming, promoting, or characterized by belief in equal political, economic, social, and civil rights for all people.

  

These two words illustrate how closely the lines are being drawn between the people and the government. Although groups like the billionaires who met secretly in New York, and Mensa—an organization which bases it’s membership on Intelligence Quotients (IQ)—seem, or appear to fall in line with the president and congress while dictating who shall or whom shall not have limited abilities and rights. There is a third group—we call them Hollywoodites—that are putting forth the idea and sense that they, too, are elitist…this group is at question because they are not in the billion dollar category nor do some act as though they have any gray matter. Then there is “we the people” who are underlings to the few that would have us serve by working manually and with computers for 8-10 hours a day to make sure that the fatted calf stays fat.

The difference between the elitist and the egalitarian is the ability to take a hearty dump on one’s fellow man, and enjoy it. The government, the billionaires, Mensa, and the vacuous stars of Hollywood have forgotten that someone has to work for them to afford their way of life. While I do not advocate that we are entitled to what they have, I do not accept that they are entitled to what we have. Some of the “would-be” elitist have had to earn their way in life, while others were born to it, but that by no set of circumstances entitles them to know what the people need or to take what the people have. It’s just a thought, but to heck with them. If they want to find out how effective the people are, we can turn off the television, stop going to movies, stop buying outrageously priced material objects, stop voting into office corrupt politicians, and then the only determinate in our existence will be the way we chose to eat, sleep, and spend our leisure time.

Marie Antoinette said, “Let them eat cake.” That might sound generous; however, in France cake was bread, and the French cut off her head. We can just as easily lop off the head of our monsters and have our country back.

Tim Geithner: What about the Abacus

Published by dfallis under Humor, News, Politics Edit This

In reading this morning’s yahoo news, I came across a piece on Tim Geithner going to China to discuss intensifying the sale of United States goods to China. Geithner was almost nixed due to the results of his income tax return, and we sent this idiot to China to discuss facts and figures? I’m floored by the lunacy of this move…it’s almost laughable. The Chinese use the abacus faster, more accurately, and with less potential for hazardous monetary mistakes, than our CPAs, and federal accountants might accomplish with millions of dollars worth of computerized equipment, so where’s the logic?

Merry Christmas China, we have forwarded your gift in advance, hope you like him!!

We can look forward to the national deficit increasing 10-fold upon the return of Geithner to the United States, and the little turd will not even realize that he has been the culprit.

Geithner: Well Chief, I did as you asked, and it seems as though we are now into the Chinese for 15% of the 10% we owe them…we are selling liquidated funds to the Iranians, notes of security to the Israelis, and chunks of Mennonite to the Mexicans…it will increase our yearly profits by 2% and decrease our yearly deficit by .02 percent, and…are sure that interpreter was fluent in Chinese?

Obama: What does that mean…Mennonite; we’re selling what to the Mexicans?

Geithner: I don’t know Chief…the little guy at the head of the table was talking really fast, the interpreter was laughing a lot, and the ten little guys behind me with machetes kept nodding towards the fast talker at the head of the table. I changed underwear three times before the meeting ended. Please don’t make me go back to China…

Child’s Play: There’s a totus twittering for the potus

Published by dfallis under Humor, News, Politics Edit This

Egotistical mania and outright self-absorbency aside, becoming the thing which makes your orations great is a bit on the same mental scale with being the toilet that catches your crap. The men who have, in years past, inherited the White House through the misguided voter’s belief that they were men of conscience have numbered among some of the most brilliant, and amongst some of the most inane, but this one surely stands alone as the thing that would not be heard if not for the slobbering mainstream media…or would he? God forgive us all, but we’re unilaterally wired to the Internet, and the egotist-in-chief knows and utilizes this factor. Now, with twitter at his disposal and a team of filmmakers being accumulated, the Potus needs no one to tout his greatness. He’s got the blogs, the twitter-patia, and the non-stop leverage of the White House to keep him talking. The Totus refers to the Potus as the Big Guy…what literary non-sense, most self-centered ego driven men have usually talked of themselves in third person, but this one has his Totus do the job?

Totus (Teleprompter of the United States) has a twitter account, as does it’s big guy the Potus (President of the United States). I think the next Czar that the Great One should appoint, will be the Czar to all objects, animals, and machinery, that twitter, blog, and chat on the Internet. I had heard of blogging dogs, chatting cats, and puka-like twitterers, but the teleprompter takes the cake. If you’re really, really, really bored and need a good laugh, why not go to twitter.com and find the talking/tweeting Totus?

While hearing of the totus having a twitter account I thought of the nuclear production of North Korea, a war in Afghanistan, the continuance and occupation of Iraq, the economic disaster that has befallen the United States, the appointment of a racist/sexist SCOTUS judge, the resounding tax debit, the multiple Czars (wasn’t that a bad thing in Russia), and the possibility of a VAT to absorb the cost of national health care, and wondered what kind of self-centered egotistical blaggert would have time to Totus twitter? And then I remembered, it’s all copasetic because we’re living in Lala-land with a childish, self-absorbed, ego-driven, immature, responsibility dodging 40-something with a hard-on for media coverage and head with more clean air than the world will ever see again. We’re cool, we’re classless, we’re the new and unabridged version of what was once a great nation, and has come to be the laughing stock and butt-end of jokes to even the lowest of druggy dictators. Why not let the Totus twitter?

Queen Elizabeth Snubbed: Invitation goes to Brown

Published by dfallis under News, Politics Edit This

The Franco-American celebration, which will be the 65th of it’s kind since the invasion of the beaches at Normandy, has not yielded an invitation to Queen Elizabeth. The French are giving credit for the invitations being sent as a decision made by the Americans while the British say that it is France who sends out the invitation. Whatever the case, regarding the invitations, one of the few world leaders who could actually remember the original event has been snubbed. Queen Elizabeth has said, “One would expect an invitation to such a celebration,” but she adds that the royal family is not angry.

The British press; however, is not quite so bemused, nor are they taking this slight with a gentle pen in hand. They’re angry and letting the French know about it through their newspapers. Unfortunately for the British, this is probably a sign of things to come with the egos that seem to plague the United States and France in recent years. It’s sad that the men who fought and died on the 6th of June in 1944, were men of much higher caliber than the lack luster, overly pompous leaders who have come to power in the countries those men fought to defend.

I would like to join the Queen in a bit of sentiment, and hope that the celebration that will be attended by Barrack Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy, and Gordon Brown, will have time to celebrate and honor the men that fought for a cause unrelated to political advancement. It’s more likely that these philandering politicians did not wish to have someone that would be in attendance to celebrate the lives and deaths of men other than themselves. At least, the Queen will not feel compelled to run home for a bath to wash the nasty off, after mingling with leaders who are so full of crap.

Biden does it again: Or is he really taking jabs at Obama

Published by dfallis under Humor, News, Politics Edit This

Theories of thought have it that Joe Biden is a “Hoof in Mouth” man who just cannot stop talking even when the nation’s safety is at stake. The democrats thought that Obama was the perfect puppet, he was young, in-experienced, and eager to please, so he would be easily manipulated. The democrats were wrong, but Biden was the perfect buffoon to make the presidential buffoon look intelligent. Obama knew that he would never look inadequate, as long as Joe kept talking; however, I’m starting to wonder if Joe is as stupid as he is being given credit.

In the movie My Fellow Americans, John Hurd plays a dippy buffoonish vice president. His character makes racial slurs, ask inane questions, and makes his president, played by Dan Akroyd, appear to be far more intelligent than he is. As the story unfolds, with politicians being tossed willy-nilly into the mix, it becomes apparent that the last man to be suspected is the real culprit in the plot. It’s a very entertaining movie, which also stars James Garner and Jack Lemmon…it’s a must-see sleeper for the whole family.

Joe Biden’s speech, assumed to be given to cadets yesterday afternoon, started me wondering just how stupid is Joe? Obama is sly like a fox, manipulative in his speech, and one of the great orators of recent history, whereas Joe Biden seems to be unable to keep his foot out of his mouth. When Obama began to talk about his new friend in the White House, it sounded as though he were going to tell people about the new family pet, Bo, but it ended with Joe Biden sounding like an unruly dog. At that moment, I wonder if Biden had any dignity, because even in joking terms, it’s very un-PC to speak of another man as one would a dog…but is Biden undignified, or is he Biden his time?

This administration, unlike any before it—Nixon might be the exception—is headed for a disaster with all wheels off the track and speeding towards a curve, and it’s possible that Biden may look less the clown, and more the intelligent politician when it all hits the turn. Obama may well have set the wrong dupe up to take the fall.

How to Fake Abduction: No cameras, no phone

Published by dfallis under Humor, News Edit This

The fact that I have, at times gone blonde, has given me some insight into what bleach fumes and peroxide will do to the little gray cells. True blondes, unlike Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and myself, are far more intelligent and do not suffer from bleach fume inhalation. The reason behind the statements about bleach fumes and fake blondes is a woman named Bonnie Sweeten. She’s 38, the mother of two, obviously a bleached blonde, and under arrest this morning in Bucks County, PA.

The reports came into 911 from a cell phone with the caller claiming to have been kidnapped by two large black men. She was being held—along with her 9-year-old daughter—in the trunk of a big, black Cadillac. After telling the emergency operator that she was held in the Caddy, she said that she had been rear-ended at an intersection where the abduction took place in broad daylight, yet no one saw this happen. Now, we all know you cannot make up something this stupid unless you suffer from severe adilpation (an ancient word meaning almost brain dead).

The first mistake was the broad daylight-kidnapping lie…no one in their right mind abducts a person at busy intersection—drug related crimes being the exception. The second mistake was when she used her cell phone, because all morons know that a cell phone can be traced, and the third mistake was when she said that two big black men kidnapped her. Black men rarely kidnap white women, or any women for that matter. The kidnapping gig seems to be a predominantly white crime, and no more likely to be a male than it is to be a female.

Kidnapping, in broad daylight, is less likely to happen due to witness interference—not saying it doesn’t happen, but the later hours when vision is skewed are more favorable for kidnapping victims. Cell phones can be located by satellite with a better than fair accuracy, and your best bet for kidnapper description (also known as profiling) is the 5 foot 4 inch to 5 foot 7 inch white male, probably balding, wearing a checked shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes, although the wearing of hoods are often involved in kidnapping.

A hint to future bleached blondes attempting to embezzle money and go on the lamb; the FBI is not lacking for federal crimes to solve and once they become involved, the crime becomes a federal matter and your day in court is not a day for celebration. Avoiding video cameras, whether it be the local mall or a busy airport, would also be recommended, and for God’s sake do not involve your children. The 9-year-old daughter, not only had her dreams of Disney World smashed, but now has to grow up knowing her mother is a lying, sniveling, thief, who has the brain capacity of a watermelon seed.

Side note: Bleached blondes look really washed out in jail photos, and the hair does nothing to improve the appearance of the pinstripe uniforms of the penal system.

Orin Hatch on Sotomayor: Racism in the Supreme Court

Published by dfallis under News, Politics Edit This

Sotomayor: “I would hope that a Latina women with her rich background in life would make a better decision than a white male.”

This is one of the newly nominated justice to the Supreme Court, Sotomayor’s remarks. This remark, along with other not-so flattering remarks, were the discussion between Sean Hannity and Orin Hatch.

Orin Hatch is a senior senator from Utah and has been suspiciously quiet for many years, though it would have been nice to hear more from him surrounding other past political bumblings. I suppose that even those in the political arena grow tired/bored with the news-less and worthless meanderings and misdeeds of other senators, and simply ignore them. Not so many years ago, Hatch looked to be the leading republican; not shying away from the hard questions, and giving answers to the questions that did not endear him to the media. He was a rather likeable senator, and some hoped that he would toss his hat into the presidential race.

That aside, he answered some fairly hard questions posed by Mr. Hannity last night during their conversation pertaining to Sotomayor’s appointment and the senatorial investigation that will follow. When I heard the remark about white males, yesterday afternoon, it did not seem to harsh until the remark was turned on it’s ear having the white male making the same remark and referencing the Latina female. Let’s say for purposes of clarity, that Supreme Court Justice Souter had said, “I would hope that a white male with his rich background in life would make a better decision than a Latina female.” That does sound extremely racist and would be the un-doing of any white male making the statement. It’s all about who said it and why.

Orin Hatch added to the discussion by mentioning other remarks and actions that do, as he said, add to the worry of this woman’s appointment as a Supreme Court Justice. One such decision had to do with the firefighters who filed a reverse-discrimination suit when their promotions were denied because there was only one Hispanic male capable of passing the same test that 14 white males passed, and numerous other firefighters had taken. Sotomayor did not consider the case pertinent and was unwilling to forward it for consideration. There are numerous cases of discrimination, dating back several decades that are still on court dockets to be heard, and our government is considering the placement of a Supreme Court Justice who is certain to rule with a discriminatory attitude for people of the Latina race with disregard for the law.

The Supreme Court is supposed to decide if a case was properly tried according to the interpretations of the Constitution. Their job is not to decide if a man or woman is guilty or innocent based on the color of their skin. These attitudes go back to the defense that a man or woman was not guilty of murdering, raping, or pillaging, because it was societies fault. If it is societies fault, then it becomes necessary-in order to obtain justice for the injured-to try every person that the poor feeble minded character encountered during his or her lifetime. Somewhere inside the law there has to be culpability for criminal action, and if it is decided that society caused the problem, then house society in the penal institution and hand over the nation to the thugs who murder, rape, and pillage.

Regardless of the color of the skin of the person who makes the racist remarks, it’s either racist or it’s not. If color is the only determining factor in who is racist, then racism does not exist. It then becomes colorism, and who the hell knows where that leads?

Washington D. C.: Follow the yellow brick road

Published by dfallis under Humor, News, Politics Edit This

The president, congress, and some ambassadors for the United States seem to have an idea that we can talk with China and Russia, and resolve the missile crisis with Korea. Okay…mosquitoes don’t bite people, rats make great pets, and every household needs at least one roach to be complete. It’s impossible to estimate the amount of times that China has says a fine “F U” to the U S when asked to aid in one situation or another, and this time will be no exception. China really does not make a habit of meddling in their neighbor’s coffers, nor do they allow any other country to dictate their political course, so what would make them tell North Korea to stop their nuclear program?

Facts pertaining to China should include the amount of money that we are indebted to them, and the radical idea that they can tell us to stand down on any issue concerning the North Korean government. We’ve been to Korea, in a war like position, and we found that we could not efficiently fight the North because they had the heavy hand of China backing their effort. We have fought along side the Russians in WWII, and against their efforts in Afghanistan and South Georgia, much more than that cannot be said about Russian and American relations. The Cold War and modern switch in power has left both the U S and Russia looking more like ugly stepsisters than super powers, and there are many reasons to doubt that the Russians would aid in any effort to shut down nuclear armamentation in North Korea.

Watching the news, yesterday in a state of amusement in disbelief, I half expected to see Dorothy, Toto, and the Scarecrow come dancing down the yellow brick in search of the wizard of Oz. Of course the best resolution to the nuclear situation with North Korea would be the ability to get China and Russia to side with us and stop the delivery of goods to the North Koreans, but pigs have not flown yet. Even the wizard of Oz realized that the power to get what people needed is found in the people themselves, and we—the U S—have become ineffectual through the Buffoon-in-Chief with his harshly worded warnings. Kim Jong-Il is a thug, not a mentally astute character with whom one could have a logical conversation pertaining to disarming any weapon of mass destruction. General Eisenhower found that the North Koreans were a menace and that the Asian thugs are exactly like American thugs; they don’t want to talk, they want to act horrendously under any circumstance.

The only true weapon we have in our arsenal, is not something that we are able to produce or dictate, but the weapons that the Koreans are producing. In my lifetime, I’ve not seen anything that was marked with “Made in Korea” on the bottom side that worked as it was intended and rarely held together more than a day, why would nuclear weapons produced by these people be a different situation? Since we have abdicated as Big Brother, let Uncle China take the reigns…it’s the only sensible thing to do. When it all goes badly, remember the liberals in this country, under the Obama administration, caused the problem with their bleeding heart agendas.

Really Bad Contestants: The race for nuclear supremacy

Published by dfallis under Humor, News, Politics Edit This

Obama told North Korea not to build, test, or fire nuclear weapons, or we would throw harsh words at them. We’re now throwing bad politicians at them instead, as was witnessed with Nancy Pelosi’s visit to China (the real power behind NK) on Saturday…she might have gotten there on Friday night, unpacked late, and have forgotten to take her Xanax before meeting with the Chinese leader on Saturday. The next morning, North Korea tested a nuclear bomb underground. So all we have to do to get Iranians to test a nuclear bomb is to send Pelosi to Iran and then we will be able to throw harsher words at them effectively becoming a laughing-stock in several languages. Who will win the race for nuclear armament will depend on the country that dislikes Pelosi more than the United States.

In the movie The Abyss there is dialogue spoken by a balding character with a strange affinity for a white mouse, while defining his stance on nuclear weapons, that goes something like this, “Great, we do this and two weeks later your member (clean word) falls off.” Now here’s the question, “How far underground does one have to test a nuclear weapon so that the atmosphere above ground does not turn toxic?” The race for nuclear supremacy might well be the race for world dominance at the cost of population sterilization. From the reports coming out of North Korea, Kim Jong-il has little to worry about as he is on his last leg, physically, and does not have too much time before he has to decide which of his sons will succeed him as leader of the country. Kim is less worrisome than Ahmadinejad, who seemingly has potential in the “life-span” category, and the cavalier stance that everything is for Allah.

Oops, back up, Kim is dying and Ahmadinejad is willing to die for Allah, so harsh words spoken to either man might elicit the unwanted result of nuclear destruction. It’s a quandary, isn’t it? Two leaders, both with nothing to lose and we’re going to aggravate them into doing what they wanted to do from the outset, blow us all to smithereens. The old saying, “There’s nothing more comforting than knowing we have a 75-year-old with his finger on the red button, repeating I’m not afraid to die,” seems to fit appropriately with the leaders of Iran and North Korea. Just makes me want to run out to the nearest Starbucks, grab a bagel and a latte and wait for the result of throwing harsh words at ill-fated concepts.

Pittsburgh Steelers defeat five and six-year-olds for White House luncheon

Published by dfallis under Humor, News, Politics Edit This

Aside from giving Nancy Pelosi the stand down order, and having her flanked by other high-ranking democrats for the first press conference since she stuck foot in mouth and could not get it extracted, Obama had lunch with the Steelers because a bus carrying kindergarten students was held up in traffic and missed their tour. Once again we see the reasoning of the Genius-in-chief that knew that his pockets would be better lined and his image much more appealing when viewed by the press amongst a hoard of hungry athletes. Slobbering, caked-up little faces, grinning openly at the supposed world leader was not the news photo-op that Obama had in mind, though I dare say it would have made him appear more human. It would have been a more ‘down-to-earth’ photograph, and would have shown that he really cared about the common man and his family, but let’s face it; he won the election and has had enough of the bothersome common man for the next four years.

Then it comes to another not-so common man that says he does not know that we can call Ortega a dictator, because he was elected to his position. Never mind that failure to vote for the man would mean that you would not repeat the same mistake twice. His next piece of star-struck logical argument, like most liberal democrat-Hollywoodized actors, was that Bush just spent money willy-nilly while Obama has spent money with a plan to improve the broken economy. Yes, Mike Farrell defender of all things truthful, is just the same ole broken record democrat that has stars in his eyes, money in his pockets, and no real sense of what it means to actually have to do manual labor to pay your way in the world. Not all actors have had such luck some actually did/do manual labor during the performance of their craft. Way to go Mike, Ortega is a misunderstood saint trying to lead his broken country out of the depressed state that it has become…did Bush do that too?

Old George, on the other hand, has been lazing about in Texas enjoying the peace and tranquility of walking his dog. Apparently, poop scooping is preferable to running the country; however, if something were to happen to Obama and Biden, the poop-scooping job would fall to the person unlucky enough to act as Nancy Pelosi’s press secretary. If that’s not a midnight horror show from hell, I don’t know what is…well, maybe Biden running the country but he’s too prone to telling the truth to ever be an effectual president.
