We have: sex industry (yes, we’re not done), mortgage crisis, and primary woes. 

 

Yum; more sex talk on Larry King tonight. Good old Larry, I knew he would milk this like an overripe cow.  Not even there, and he still manages to pull the sex strings. I imagine him saying; hey, I can’t make it tonight, but can somebody make sure the topic is sex, sex, and more sex? Oh, I know! We’ll get Dr. Drew! Isn’t he sort of bored anyway, now that Celebrity Rehab is over and done with?

 

Hurrah for Sex.

 

 

My husband had a great idea. How about the government, instead of dumping their money on Wall Street, or giving us a tax cut that, let’s face it, really isn’t going to help anybody, buys up all the houses that are for sale right now? From what we’re hearing, people are having a bit of difficulty selling their houses. They can put returning service men in these houses, and the people that they buy from can move on and buy a new house; there would be a ripple effect, and voilà, housing market improves. There. 

 

 

 

One Florida voter said he had no appetite for another primary, and he added: This is a great lesson for the National Democratic Party.

What lesson would that be? Don’t tell Florida what to do because they can’t effing follow instructions? 

 

I have the prefect solution. We take every single politician in Florida, put him or her in jail for a week or two, preferably solitary lock-up, then we ask them: Are you ready to play ball? If they hem and haw, we throw them in the sea and tell them not to come back.

 

Then we’ll give all of Florida to Louisiana; they could use the tourism and besides, as shady as Louisiana’s reputation is when it comes to politics, at least they didn’t screw up the primary.

Fun with Politics (47)

Today we were treated to television images of both Cheney and McCain in Baghdad.

What a happy occasion! Two old white guys, oozing leadership and confidence. I’m sure they’ve got everything under control. Really; things are great. It should be, for 12 billion dollars a month.

 

The whole concept of “war going well” baffles me. Isn’t the fact that we’re at war at all evidence that things are not exactly “well”?

 

Now, tell me again; why is our economy doing so poorly?

 

Speaking of money; Heather Mills finally got hers. The total award didn’t include a popularity boost, from the looks of it. Here’s a novel idea: getting close to 25 million pounds in a divorce settlement does not automatically make you a bad person.  Besides, Sir Ex has plenty, and he was never my favorite Beatle anyway.  And somehow I have the feeling Mills isn’t exactly going to spend all that money on new shoes; much of it will end up in the coffers of various charities.  They must be licking their chops.

 

And why shouldn’t she get that much money? What, he’s going to spend it all on himself? He couldn’t if he tried; so stop whining and looking so cranky, Paul. You got off easy; be happy she’s not appealing.

 

Kudos to Heather for representing herself.  I know it’s not popular to like her, but I can’t help it. I think she kicks ass.
