Jessica Alba Said What??
By Gib | June 13, 2008
That’s right…in a recent interview she is quoted as saying the following:
“It’s a lot of stress to buy a house, have a baby and get married in six months,” she recently told USA Weekend.
hmmmmm, I wonder if that’s why most people with virtues and morals actually do it the other way. You know, Engagement, Marriage, House, then baby! Other than the engagement and marriage, these people didn’t do any of it in the right order!
And then again with the STUPID baby names from the Hollywood crowd…blech!

Who Are The Moron’s Voting For This Guy??
By Gib | June 13, 2008
The Jihad Candidate
by Rich Carroll
Conspiracy theories make for interesting novels when the storyline is not so absurd that it can grasp our attention. ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ and ‘Seven Days in May’ are examples of plausible chains of events that captures the reader’s imagination at best-seller level. ‘What if’ has always been the solid grist of fiction.
Get yourself something cool to drink, find a relaxing position, but before you continue, visualize the television photos of two jet airliners smashing into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan and remind yourself this cowardly act of Muslim terror was planned for eight years.
How long did it take Islam and their oil money to find a candidate for President of the United States ? As long as it took them to place a Senator from Illinois and Minnesota ? The same amount of time to create a large Muslim enclave in Detroit ? The time it took them to build over 2,000 mosques in America ? The same amount of time required to place radical wahabbist clerics in our military and prisons as ‘chaplains’?
Find a candidate who can get away with lying about their father being a ‘freedom fighter’ when he was actually part of the most corrupt and violent government in Kenya ’s history. Find a candidate with close ties to The Nation of Islam and the violent Muslim overthrow in Africa , a candidate who is educated among white infidel Americans but hides his bitterness and anger behind a superficial toothy smile. Find a candidate who changes his American name of Barry to the Muslim name of Barak Hussein Obama, and dares anyone to question his true ties under the banner of ‘racism’. Nurture this candidate in an atmosphere of anti-white American teaching and surround him with Islamic teachers. Provide him with a bitter, racist, anti-white, anti-American wife, and supply him with Muslim middle east connections and Islamic monies. Allow him to be clever enough to get away with his anti-white rhetoric and proclaim he will give $834 billion taxpayer dollars to the Muslim controlled United Nations for use in Africa.
Install your candidate in an atmosphere of deception because questioning him on any issue involving Africa or Islam would be seen as ‘bigoted racism’; two words too powerful to allow the citizenry to be informed of facts. Allow your candidate to employ several black racist Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan followers as members of his Illinois Senatorial and campaign staffs.
Where is the bloodhound American ‘free press’ who doggedly overturned every stone in the Watergate case? Where are our nation’s reporters that have placed every Presidential candidate under the microscope of detailed scrutiny; the same press who pursue Bush’s ‘Skull and Bones’ club or ran other candidates off with persistent detective and research work? Why haven’t ‘newsmen’ pursued the 65 blatant lies told by this candidate during the Presidential primaries? Where are the stories about this candidate’s cousin and the Muslim butchery in Africa ? Since when did our national press corps become weak, timid, and silent? Why haven’t they regaled us with the long list of socialists and communists who have surrounded this ‘out of nowhere’ Democrat candidate or that his church re-printed the Hamas Manifesto in their bulletin, and that his ‘close pastor friend and mentor’ met with Middle East terrorist Moammar Gaddafi, (Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya)? Why isn’t the American press telling us this candidate is supported by every Muslim organization in the world?
As an ultimate slap in the face, be blatant in the fact your candidate has ZERO interest in traditional American values and has the most liberal voting record in U.S. Senate history. Why has the American main stream media clammed-up on any negative reporting on Barak Hussein Obama? Why will they print Hillary Rodham Clinton’s name but never write his middle name? Is it not his name? Why, suddenly, is ANY information about this candidate not coming from main stream media, but from the blogosphere by citizens seeking facts and the truth? Why isn’t our media connecting the dots with Islam? Why do they focus on ‘those bad American soldiers’ while Islam slaughters non Muslims daily in 44 countries around the globe? Why does our media refer to Darfur as ‘ethnic cleansing’ instead of what it really is; Muslims killing non Muslims! There is enough strange, anti-American activity surrounding Barak Hussein Obama to peek the curiosity of any reporter. WHERE IS OUR INVESTIGATIVE MEDIA!?
A formal plan for targeting America was devised three years after the Iranian revolution in 1982. The plan was summarized in a 1991 memorandum by Mohamed Akram, an operative of the global Muslim Brotherhood. ‘The process of settlement’ of Muslims in America , Akram explained, ‘is a civilization jihad process.’ This means that members of the Brotherhood must understand that their work in ‘America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.’
There is terrorism we can see, smell and fear, but there is a new kind of terror invading The United States in the form of Sharia law and finance. Condoning it is civilization suicide. Middle East Muslims are coming to America in record numbers and building hate infidel mosques, buying our corporations, suing us for our traditions, but they and the whole subject of Islam is white noise leaving uninformed Americans about who and what is really peaceful. Where is our investigative press? Any criticism of Islam or their intentions, even though Islamic leaders state their intentions daily around the globe, brings-forth a volley of ‘racist’ from the left-wing Democrat crowd.
Lies and deception behind a master plan - the ingredients for ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ or the placement of an anti-American President in our nation’s White House? Is it mere coincidence that an anti-capitalist run for President at the same time Islamic sharia finance and law is trying to make advancing strides into the United States ? Is it mere coincidence this same candidate wants to dis-arm our nuclear capability at a time when terrorist Muslim nations are expanding their nuclear weapons capability? Is it mere coincidence this candidate wants to reduce our military at a time of global jihad from Muslim nations?
Change for America ? What change? To become another ‘Nation of Islam’?

So NOT Politically Correct!!
By Gib | June 2, 2008
I’m so tired of having Spanish shoved down my kids throat! I know, they are cloaking it as educational, but honestly——–take a step back! I’m sick of the onslaught of illegals! I’m sick of any person coming to my country and refusing to learn the language! We speak ENGLISH here…learn it or go home! Don’t force me to learn it just to talk to you! I have no problem speaking foreign languages, I speak Japanese, but I am against everything that is behind this push. We are getting overrun by the minority and soon will be the minority ourselves. Then just watch all of our rights slowly get stripped down to third world standards!

Can The Man Get Anything Right??
By Gib | May 28, 2008
I’ve written several posts on the mistakes made every time Obama opens his mouth. Honestly, can the man not speak without (heck, even with) a teleprompter? Here’s his latest…
“Senator Obama’s family is proud of the service of his grandfather and uncles in World War II — especially the fact that his great-uncle was a part of liberating one of the concentration camps at Buchenwald,” campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. “Yesterday he mistakenly referred to Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald in telling of his personal experience of a soldier in his family who served heroically.”
Yes…Auschwitz and Buchenwald are so similar sounding, I can see the problem! Ha! Or does he just think the American people are too dumb to realize there is more than one concentration camp, so he just names the most well known?
What a DOPE!

He’s Such A DOPE!!
By Gib | May 26, 2008
Michelle Malkin is BRILLIANT!!
This from her:
All it takes is one gaffe to taint a Republican for life. The political establishment never let Dan Quayle live down his fateful misspelling of “potatoe.” The New York Times distorted and misreported the first President Bush’s questions about new scanner technology at a grocers convention to brand him permanently as out of touch.
But what about Barack Obama? The guy’s a perpetual gaffe machine. Let us count the ways, large and small, that his tongue has betrayed him throughout the campaign:
• Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.
• Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
• Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you, Sioux City. . . . I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”
• Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Senator Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?
• Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement:
“There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”
Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil rights movement as a whole.”
• Earlier this month in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by homing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghans speak Pashto, Farsi or other non-Arabic languages.
• Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear waste cleanup:
“Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”
I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at least one defense authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear waste site.
• Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s “Dreams From My Father”:
“Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.”
• And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm — and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”
Barack Obama — promoted by the left and the media as an all-knowing, articulate, transcendent Messiah — is a walking, talking gaffe machine. How many more passes does he get? How many more can we afford?

Which One Won’t I Be Flying??
By Gib | May 21, 2008
It was announced today that American Airlines was going to begin charging $15.00 for the first checked bag–the others after that are no charge. I for one, use checked baggage as a way to control the space around me to allow me to help my four kids. But I WILL not be paying extra for that convenience–so we’ll be choosing another airline. Even if I didn’t use the checked baggage feature, I won’t fly with any carrier that does charge. Why? Because the overhead bins are already filled to capacity without the fee–which will cause far more carry on luggage…YES, that’s all we need! Now instead of getting off the plane 1/2 hour after landing, due to everyone retrieving their luggage–it will take twice as long! Multiply that by four bored kids–and I’M OUTTA THERE!! Delta isn’t going to match the charge…so I think we’ll start booking over there!

Why Not Just Merge Them…
By Gib | May 20, 2008
In this technologically advanced era…why not just combine the two candidates into one—and hand them the nomination? Honestly, is there much difference between the two? Well, other than the fact that one of them hates white people…but that would be fixed by merging him with a white woman! I think it’s a great idea–they’d get my vote!

Whoa—which candidate is going for U.S. Imperialism??? Last time I checked there were only 50 states! Maybe like Paula Abdul on Idol, he’s seeing the future!
So…if he has been in 57 states and has 1 to go, and he can’t get to Alaska or Hawaii…he thinks there’s 60 states? hmmmmmmmm, what college did he go to? (or did he spend way too much time inhaling??) And he thinks he’s smart enough take on the U.S. problems as well as foreign policy? Me thinks someone forgot his teleprompter!!

Taking A “News” Break!!
By Gib | May 10, 2008
Every Friday night it’s Pizza/movie night in our household. I generally rent one flick for me and one for the kids. My 8 year old chose Mr. Bean’s Holiday as their choice, and I chose 27 Dresses. After a week with my head in “The Audacity Of Anyone To Call This A Good Book Hope” I needed something light, fluffy…and well, a movie that didn’t try to blame the white race as the demon cause of all the world’s problems.
I loved the premise of the story. I really liked the characters, especially James Marsden. He was darling in Enchanted, but much more appealing in a ‘grown up’ role. The only thing I didn’t like about the movie? I’m not one to find a woman who talks like a trucker sexy! No, I’m not uptight, and the language wasn’t that bad (not bad enough to stop me from watching it again) it just didn’t fit the character. Jane is the perfect “girly” girl who loves weddings—and with S**t coming out of her mouth every 10 minutes, it kind of blew it for me! I would have preferred that Edward Burns wash his hair at least once during filming, and possibly a little better haircut…but I digress! Judy Greer is one of my favorite actresses. She’s been the “best friend” in so many movies that I really enjoy, and is finally getting the lead role on “Miss Guided” on ABC (one of my favorites)–but again, she’s got even lower moral standards than Jane–humorous, maybe–but trashy!
I will most likely own the movie at some point in my life…it was really quite cute. However…if you have kids who still believe in Santa, there’s a spot you’re going to want them not to be present. I had my 5 year old wander up as Santa was outed, and I had to quickly divert her attention!!
Oh…and someday…I will own this couch! Now I just have to figure out a way to keep James Marsden on it by the time I get it home!!! ;) Honestly, I LOVE the couch!

Gettin’ By With A Little Help From His Friends??
By Gib | May 9, 2008
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matthew 7:16
So, let’s examine just who Mr. Osama’s friends are. The America hating Reverend? The America hating Bill Ayers? Ex-PLO, Hammas-supporting, Israel hating Rashid Kalidi? Do you need more? If a man is only as good as his friends…I think we get another glimpse at just what kind of man Barack Hussein Obama is.
Show me pictures of any of Hillary Clinton’s or John McCain’s friends stepping on the American flag and supporting the attacks of 9/11 as justified. You can’t, yet there are several friends of Obama’s who do just that!
This from HinzSight…
By now, I am sure, most of the regular internet posters on either side of the political divide are aware of the 1995 connection between Barack Obama and William Ayres, famed Weatherman terrorist. Conservatives look at that relationship and question his judgment. Liberals look at that relationship and point out that it was more than a decade ago, and what is the big deal anyway?
But, as we have begun to learn more about the man behind Obamamania, we are finding that there is much more in his past that calls into question more than just his judgment.
His 20 year relationship with the right Rev Wright, and that man’s clear anti-American rhetoric has caused people to take a much harder look into Obama, the man, and his past associations.
Ayres and his wife Bernardine Dohrn were 1960s terrorist who waged war against their own government, setting off bombs in building around the country. Leftist tell us that was a long time ago, a different and difficult time in our nation’s history. But a New York Times article in 2001 demonstrated that they are unrepentant in their hatred for their country.
As noted by David Horowitz in FrontPage Magazine:
ON THE MORNING OF THE ATTACKS on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, along with a million other readers of the New York Times including many who would never be able to read the paper again, I opened its pages to be confronted by a color photo showing a middle-aged couple holding hands and affecting a defiant look at the camera. The article was headlined in an irony that could not have been more poignant, “No Regrets For A Love Of Explosives.” The couple pictured were Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, former leaders of the 1960s’ Weather Underground, America’s first terrorist cult. One of their bombing targets, as it happened, was the Pentagon.
That 1995 meeting, in the home of Ayres and Dohrn was Obama’s introduction to Chicago politics. Ayres, a known former domestic terrorist was a mover and shaker in Chicago politics, and it was known that if you wanted to make it, you went through him. State Senator Alice Palmer facilitated the introduction:
In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
…”I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers’ house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress,” said Dr. Quentin Young, a prominent Chicago physician and advocate for single-payer health care, of the informal gathering at the home of Ayers and his wife, Dohrn. “[Palmer] identified [Obama] as her successor.”
Obama and Palmer “were both there,” he said.
This meeting is, as they say, old news. Those on the left have shrugged it off, suggesting that it was a one-time introduction, there was no ongoing relationship, and it is of little consequence. But there is growing evidence of an ongoing relationship.
From 1999 through December 2002 Ayres and Obama served together as directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago. That non-profit organization provided two gratns in 2001 and 2002 to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, of $40,000 and $35,000 respectively. The AAAN was run by co-founders Rashid and Mona Khalidi.
Rashid Khalidi is a Columbia University professor who previously worked for the PLO, a terrorist organization, and hosted a fund raiser for Obama’s US Senate bid.
Khalidi said he supports Obama for president “because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause.”
Khalidi also lauded Obama for “saying he supports talks with Iran. If the U.S. can talk with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, there is no reason it can’t talk with the Iranians.”
When questioned about his relationship with the Woods Fund, which provided more than one-quarter of the groups funding, Khalidi lied, claiming no knowledge of the non-profit organization.
Concerning Obama’s role in funding AAAN, Khalidi claimed he “never heard of the Woods Fund until it popped up on a bunch of blogs a few months ago.” He terminated the interview when pressed further about his links with Obama.
While we have been treated to stories of Tony Rezko and his involvement in helping to finance Obama’s home purchase, the fact that the Syrian-born Rezko has, himself ties to terrorism has gone largely unnoticed.
However, not that Mr. Rezko was re-arrested because he was a flight risk to Middle Eastern countries that do not have an extradition treaty with the United States.
Tony Rezko received a $3.5 million loan from Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi arms dealer with ties to Saddam Hussein. From Jack Kelly at RealClearPolitics.com we have this:
A British citizen of Iraqi descent, Mr. Auchi, 70, is a billionaire, the 279th richest man in the world, according to a Forbes magazine survey last year.
A great deal of Mr. Auchi’s money was made doing business with the regime of Saddam Hussein, much of it under the table. In 1987, Mr. Auchi helped French and Italian firms win a huge oil pipeline contract in Iraq, chiefly by paying off Iraqi officials, according to testimony given by an Italian banker to prosecutors in Milan. In 2003, he was convicted for his role in what was then the largest scandal in French history, involving payoffs from executives of the oil company now known as Total to political figures in Spain, Germany and Africa.
–snip–
Mr. Auchi was a leading supplier of arms to Saddam’s regime. A former Belgian ambassador to Luxembourg charged that a bank in Luxembourg owned principally by Mr. Auchi laundered funds — including oil for food money — for Saddam and other Islamic dictators.
The deeper we look into the past of Sen Obama, and shine the light of truth onto his shady friends and financial supporters, the more it becomes apparent that he is NO agent of Hope and Change, but just another slimy leftist politician, with anti-American leanings, who will do anything to become president.
In a new piece entitled Will Barack Obama Betray Us If Elected? Gordon Taylor looks at Barack Obama and his endorsement from Hamas.

The Puzzle Begins To Take Shape!!
By Gib | April 30, 2008
There hasn’t been a lot said about the “Man” Barack Hussein Obama. He’s hidden himself well. But as covertly as he’s come into the forefront of American politics–this ‘wolf in lambs clothing’ is beginning to show his true colors. He is not John F. Kennedy reincarnate, quite the opposite actually. He’s closer to Josef Stalin and Karl Marx. Radical thinking on my part? Hardly! Let’s take a look at some of the “pieces” of Barack that he’s tried to keep hidden.
Che Guevarra poster hanging in the office of his Houston campaign office
“How is it a front-runner for the highest office in the land can reject an American flag on his lapel but permit the display of a huge Cuban flag at one of his offices, emblazoned with a mass murderer’s mug?” the publication asked. Rather than repudiate the image, Obama would only call it ‘inappropriate,’ apparently without insisting it be taken down.
Many an Obama fan has been quick to point out the fact that this photo (taken during the singing of the National Anthem in Iowa) has been doctored. To prove that it hasn’t been, I’ve added a video of the event in question.
The only defense I can think of for Mr. Obama is the fact that the National Anthem is being so terribly massacred by it’s singer, that maybe he just didn’t recognize it, and therefore forgot about showing his respect by placing his hand on his heart. Yeah, whatever!!
Then we find out that his beloved minister/hate monger has body guards provided by the Nation of Islam. There’s a peaceful, American loving organization for you!! So much has been said about Jeremiah Wright in the past month or so, but what has been most fun to watch is Mr. Obama’s reactions to his “mentor”. This from Michelle Malkin.com
It was just last year that Obama was telling the Chicago Tribune that Wright was his sounding board for truth: “What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice. He’s much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I’m not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that’s involved in national politics.”
It was just this March, in his Philadelphia racial reconciliation speech, that Obama was urging us not to dismiss Wright as a “crank or a demagogue” and protesting that he could “no more disown him than I can disown the black community.”
For the past 24 hours, Obama’s campaign too slowly grappled with how to handle the aftermath of Wright’s whirlwind tour of hatred this weekend — from Dallas, where he decried his “public crucifixion,” to Detroit, where he entertained NAACP bigwigs with impersonations of white people, mockeries of classical music and “white” marching bands, and lectures on racial brain theories, to the National Press Club, where he preened, strutted and head-wagged his way through an hour of bitter black liberation theologizing.
Anyone with eyes can see that Wright’s performances are finely honed, time-tested acts. His anti-white, anti-American, “imperialist”-bashing shtick was not developed overnight or over the past few years. He’s been peddling AIDS conspiracies for decades. He’s been grievance-mongering about slavery for decades. He’s been flirting with the Nation of Islam, which provided security for his speeches, for decades. He’s been a shouting left-wing radical for decades.
Mr. Obama converted to Christianity after hearing a speech by Jeremiah Wright. Hmmmmmm, makes you wonder just what he said in that hate filled, anti-America speech that tugged so tightly at Barack’s heart strings! Jeremiah Wright is saying now, what he’s always said. What he’s always believed. It hasn’t changed in the past couple of months into something that Obama doesn’t believe in. This is the message this man has been shouting for DECADES! This is the message that Barack chose to follow. It’s evidenced by what his wife said on her own.
“And let me tell you something — for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.”
And then there’s the question of slavery reparations. Obama has never ‘publicly’ come out with his thoughts on reparations, but his beloved church of the past 20 years seems to be the threshold of the reparations movement. Honestly, America…can we afford slavery reparations and universal health care??
I love this clip. I love how we get a glimpse at the real Obama. Patronizing, Elitist Obama. Willing to say anything to get elected. Sure he believed this statement when he said it. He was among people (rich people) who believe the same thing. Sure he back pedaled once the statement came out in the press—he had to, he needs middle America to believe in him. He doesn’t care about middle America. He doesn’t care about America at all. His only interest is getting himself into the highest office in the world. What a sad day it will be, if this man—-this “Real” Barack Obama can slither his way to the Oval office. What a sad state this country will find itself in if we don’t wake up, smell the coffee, shake off the ring in our noses, and step away from the Kool Aid!

Look In The Mirror For Whose To Blame!!
By Gib | April 25, 2008
The President came out today with the statement that the “welfare” checks masked as a tax incentive will start with the automatic deposits this coming Monday, with the paper checks starting on the 9th of May. Then the Democrats (their only way to bash) come up with this classic…
“It’s galling to think that taxpayers’ stimulus checks will be lining the pockets of OPEC. The sad truth is that the average American family will spend almost their entire stimulus check on higher gas prices this year,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Joint Economic Committee of Congress.
OPEC is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
“Unless the administration gets OPEC to increase oil supply, American consumers are going to be in for a scorching summer of $4 gasoline with no relief in sight,” Schumer said.
I’m sorry….they are complaining about gas prices?? They are the ones responsible for them! For our dependence on foreign oil…it’s all them! How many times have they voted against a pipeline in Alaska (you know…our country) to take care of our own oil needs. Did you know there are 6 different countries drilling in the Gulf of Mexico for oil, and not one is the USA! Why not? Gulf of Mexico would be Mexico and America’s oil…but due to our fabulous Democrats killing every attempt to expand our own oil production, Venezuela and countless others are getting butt crazy rich with our oil and charging us a fortune!
It would be nice if for once the Democrats would get behind the people and help instead of trying to lord over everyone!!

By Gib | April 24, 2008
Have you heard this interesting bit of “Tax fund wasting” legislation?
Representatives Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii), Lynn Westmoreland (R-Georgia) and Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) have introduced a resolution that would force the Justice Department’s Anti-Trust Division to investigate the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) as an illegitimate enterprise because of restrictions on free trade.
Here’s the original ESPN story, but come on! I couldn’t afford to drive to a BCS game if I wanted too! Why aren’t we wasting our money trying to lower our energy costs instead of going against some stupid sports outfit that hold NO BARING on any body’s lives!! It’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard come out of this legislative session thus far!!

Top Chef Chicago!!
By Gib | April 24, 2008
Holy Improv Batman! When the chefs walked into the Top Chef kitchen for tonights show, they were greeted by a wall of pastry! OH MY GOSH!! I wouldn’t do very well on the “chef” side of the game, but I LIVE to cook desserts! They had an hour and a half—so much time—I could have been a contender!!
Did you happen to catch the phalic asparagus?? hmmmmm!!
I will say that I was a little worried about the soup course once the chefs found out their machines were gone, but I loved the comment by Padma when she said she would lick the bowl if the cameras weren’t present! Classic!
I have absolutely nothing against lesbians, but I do have to say, I was happy to see Jenn leave. She’s been my least favorite for awhile. And after she took her anger out on Spike after her girlfriend was cut–instead of on Antonia–She was bottom of the barrel for me. And what made it even sweeter…the dish that Spike originally wanted to cook that Antonia vetoed (when she was immune) was one of the Judge’s favorites. So it was some vindication for Spike–and I love me some Spike!!

My Favorite TV Show…But What A Twit!!
By Gib | April 22, 2008
I found this on YouTube. It was something I missed originally because I don’t enjoy watching the awards shows. I would much rather pick apart the clothing on the red carpet, head off for 3 hours of fun and sign in online to see who wins. That way missing all of the moronic and idiotic statements made by the mindless Hollywood ‘droids’ like this…
Now, let me first say Brothers and Sisters is one of my favorite shows. I haven’t missed a week of it. I’m not a Sally Field fan, nor am I up for having Gay Rights shoved down my throat covertly through character dialogue. But I put up with them all in the name of good Sunday night TV.
I’m not a big war fan. I don’t want my kids to join the armed forces and go to war. I want them to have pride in their country and to have a desire to serve, but as a mom…it ain’t happ’nin! But let’s be honest here folks, how profoundly S.T.U.P.I.D. Ms. Field’s comments were about war. “If mothers ruled the world…there would be no war!” hee hee hee.
Sorry, it just makes me giggle when I think about the perverse logic behind that statement! Has she never encountered a “Cat-Fight”? Wait a minute, if memory serves she and Patricia Wettig got into a huge cake throwing cat fight on the show. Women are hormonal—and I can guarantee if there was a woman/mother as head of state over every country in the world and Canada’s ruler was suffering from PMS, who’s to say there wouldn’t be a nuclear warhead headed our direction? Or if the husband of Brittain’s ruler had an affair with the ruler of Mexico??? WAR! As much as I would like to believe that women are the ‘fairer’ sex, let’s face it—girls are meaner than their counterpart boys, and women are far more quick to anger than men. It’s a fact…it just is. So for any of you out there that think a woman can keep her cool better than a man—Just remember the old saying…”HELL hath no fury like a woman scorned”!

But…But…Where’s My Teleprompter??
By Gib | April 17, 2008
Ha, did you watch the farce of a debate last night? Honestly—can either of these candidates win?
Before we get into the debate itself, let’s just take a look at the opening introductions. First the camera flips to Clinton behind her podium, then Obama behind his. Were you not waiting for the Jeopardy theme music to begin and Alex Trebec to come out from behind the curtain??
Now…back to the ridiculous debate. Did no one tell Mr. Obama that there wouldn’t be a teleprompter? That he would actually have to “talk” his way out of this debate? No savvy speech writers…No wordsmith to help him break out enough charisma to illustrate that he can be the leader of the free world. He came off as a bumbling fool! He made Jimmy Carter look competent, and we all know he’s NOT!
And as far as Ms. Clinton goes, she’s seen the pain in families caused by the Bush administration?? I’m sorry—isn’t the economy better now than it was during the EIGHT years of the Clinton administration? Did we not get huge tax reductions under this president over the tax increases during the Clinton years? She’s aching for the families that have lost loved ones during the war…well then Ms. Clinton–why did vote to defeat the added funding to protect our troops? Both of these folks voted against upgrading our troops armor, armaments and Hum-vees? How many more soldiers died because they didn’t get the upgrades that they needed? Look in the mirror both of you—you have both contributed to much of what is going on in Iraq today!
Ok—I would like to quote a Barack Obama commentor…”Barack has a BIG mouth and just as big of a foot to shove in it!” How many times must this man back pedal to ‘fix’ something he said wrong. I don’t think 8 years will be long enough to have this man speak…and then speak again to fix what he originally said!
I think the Super Delegates are going to have a heckuva time come Denver trying to pick a candidate out of these two who can win! They thrive on bashing the last 8 years without really discussing what either one wants to do to fix it. When you figure that out Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama…then come back and run for President!

A Democrat Said It Best (for once)!
By Gib | April 14, 2008
On your way out of Soldier Field there is a quote by John F. Kennedy that I was stunned to read. I love it because it comes from a Democrat. It comes from the “Golden Boy” of the grand Democratic past–and yet–it is so meaningful today. I’m sure it would never be brought up in today’s political/media blind world–but I wanted to post it–because it IS America–and I’m proud to be an American!
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”
I’m not a huge fan of Mr. Kennedy, and I’m sure this was written by a speech writer–but so poignant and true today as it was 30 years ago!

John Does Babs!!
By Gib | April 8, 2008
I found this over at Kate’s blog and I LOVED it! Especially the part about Barbra trying to do his job, so he thought he’d try to do hers…priceless! He actually does a better job than the old Femi-Dema-Nazi!! I even love his “Old Blue Eyes” outfit! I would definitely pay for this CD!!

Oprah’s Big Give Premiere!!
By Gib | April 3, 2008
Last night was the first episode of Oprah’s Big Give. I will be honest, not being a HUGE Oprah fan, I wasn’t going to watch it. But with the opportunity to watch it online at ABC.com while I clean the kitchen–I flipped it on. What a great show! 10 contestants, 3 judges, Nate Berkus and Oprah round out the show. First off—what random judges!! I’d never heard of any of them except Jamie Oliver, and they are being billed as celebrities that have given big in their own lives–OK—still, never heard of them! With his accent however, I’ll let Jamie talk all day if he wants too!
As with all of the episodes, I’m going to put a link to the episode recap in case you want to read up on it. But for the highlights…what a mess Marlene and Kim are. Lost on the very first day? Oh My! I can tell already…I’m not going to be a Rachael fan-she just rubs me wrong. I do like Brandi, Stephen, Eric and baby faced Cameron!
The best group by far were Eric and Stephen. They helped a widowed mom whose husband had been shot and killed on the job. They had a great reveal, my only problem…why didn’t they go to Home Depot Corporate for a donation? That’s where the man was shot! Unless there is a lawsuit under way, I would have totally tapped them first!
I would have gotten rid of Marlene or Kim due to the complete loss of mappage! So it wasn’t shocking to see Marlene go!
