Really Dude?
Isn't that a bit of an overreaction? Example 2,913 of truth in the old adage "those who cannot teach, administrate".
They even fired the janitor!

Quick Thoughts
I suspect if lawmakers were not allowed to put their name on bills, we would have a few less laws. The egomaniacs who yearn for public office could not stand it if they were not associated by name with legislation (for example "Frank-Dodd").
Maybe we should pass a Constitutional Amendment that only allows a new law to be passed if an old one is taken off the books? Lawmakers (that title says it all) cannot help themselves.
By the same token, politicians should not have their name on public buildings/roads/parks. Most of the public signage in West Virginia would have to be changed if we removed Robert Byrd's name.
Members of Congress should make 10% over the median American annual wage. I bet they would not stick around for 30 years then.
Are you ready for your taxes to increase 10-20% starting in January? You are about to get whacked. Here is a secret the Democrats do not want you to know -- the hated Bush tax cuts benefited the lowest earners and middle class most of all. BOHICA Baby.

Spread the Wealth
I like money. I want more of it. I want to earn as much as possible, and I would take a handful of found money should it come my way. I would have no problem with owning a nice car and a big house. Hell, I would live in a gated community if I could afford it. I would smoke expensive cigars and drink fine wine. I would vacation at the beautiful places. I am comfortable with that position.
The median income in the US is $44,329 according to the notoriously inaccurate Wikipedia. I suspect that figure is close enough for the purposes of this post.
George Clooney recently held a fundraiser for The Obama. It costs $40,000 a person to attend. I can live with that. People should spend their wealth in any way they see fit. If the leftists want to plop down the equivalent of the average American's annual wages for dinner, so be it.
My problem is these limousine liberals are all about supporting the redistribution of wealth, as long as it is someone else's. If George Clooney or Jeffrey Katzenburg really believed the bullshit about "at some point a person has made enough money", they should be donating a little more of their hard-earned cash. I will care about George Clooney's political rants when I read he donated all but $44,329 of his next movie contract to charity. Wouldn't that be fair? I will respect Toby Maguire when I learn he is living in a three bedroom ranch out in Tarzana. I will listen to Streisand's leftist screeds when I see her shopping at WalMart.
How many people who attended Clooney's shindig arrived in a limo or a big SUV and lamented the lack of action on global warming? Do you think J.J. Abrams arrived in a 2002 Honda Civic?
Warren Buffett and his ilk have paraded on TV and before Congress asking for taxes to be raised on the rich. But not one of those hypocritical bastards have the gumption to write a check to the treasury. There is no law preventing overpaying of taxes. If you think you are not paying your fair share, pony up, brother. President Obama rants that the rich should pay their fair share -- 30% at least. But he did not write a check to the treasury when his returns showed he only owed 21%. Put your money where your mouth is you hypocrites.
That is the problem with your average leftist Democrat progressive. They are free with my money and your money. All that is important is the idea. Good intention is far more important to these people than actual accomplishment. Just as in Soviet Russia and Communist China, the average Joe lived in misery standing in line for bread and rationed toilet paper, while the elites lived it up with special housing, stores, food and even elite driving lanes on the streets. Fair and equal is for the common people.

The anatomical juxtaposition of your average Democrat's orbicularis oris muscles in a state of contraction against my gluteus maximus.
I was walking around the neighborhood last evening. The weather was perfect. I was listening to a broadcast of the Cubs game on my iPod. Ideas for post topics sprang to my mind. I composed the basic outline of a few while I walked. A whole week's worth of good stuff was swirling and composing itself into brilliant, Hemingwayesque sentences in my brain.
Then I slept.
Instead of brilliance you get a post about not writing a post.

Same-sex marriage
Shall we get this out of the way first? Despite my obvious right wing credentials, I really, really do not care what anyone does behind their bedroom door, as long as it involves consenting adults. if you want to dress in a fur suit, go for it. Leather, whips, and chains? I don't care as long as I am not a participant. Man on man, girl on girl, many men on many girls and many girls on many men? Nope, I do not care what you do. I am not sure how to make my position any more clear.
Secondly, If you want to get married, have at it, as long as you are consenting adults. I am not sure why the Government is in the marriage business anyway.
Now, all of you advocates for legalizing homosexual marriage, here is where I draw the line. If same-sex marriage becomes legal in these United States, will your local Baptist preacher, Methodist minister, Catholic priest, Imam or Rabi be required to marry you? Will refusal on moral or religious grounds be justification for a discrimination suit or a knock on the door from Eric Holder's Civil Rights Division?
The reasonable among you will say that could never happen. The militant arm of the gay advocacy would proceed in an instant.
I think that dilemma is the crux of the difference in polls indicating a general acceptance of gay marriage and overwhelmingly lack of support when it comes to passing laws. More than thirty States have decreed marriage is between a man and a woman. It is also the Federal Law of the Land.
I do not care what sexual proclivities you enjoy. I prefer not to think about it. If you are into gay sex, naked midget jello wrestling, masturbating to pictures of kittens, squirter videos, male strippers with socks on their dongs, tattooed fat chicks, felating interns, bone-thin white guys, graphic pygmy sex, shaved nether regions, Japanese cartoon porn, poop munching, toenail chewing, gag balls, blacklight aerobics, naked grandmothers with orange dildos, a Mr. Clean fetish, extremely hirsute mommy parts, dressing like Wonder Woman or Popeye, or even plain old missionary style in the dark of night -- it is of no concern of mine. Just do not expect me to give you a thumbs up and a blessing.
Perhaps now we can move the political discussion to topics that are actually important, like whether Romney hazed some kid 47 years ago.

It is a jungle in here
I have about had enough of nature already this morning; ants on the kitchen counter, spiders on the living room wall. Why don't those guys go outside and play? The weather is fine today. No wonder today's insects are fatter than ever.

Curiosity
I also have one of these:
I am willing to bet very few of you can identify this accomplishment. Mine is hand made from felt, very similar to the image. Today they are mass produced embroidery. This rank was harder to earn than the former. I am far prouder of it. Do any fof you know what this is? Do any of you have one of these?
They say smoking pot destroys your memory...
Maybe if the Golfer-in-Chief spent a little more time actually being President, he would know his economic policies are not working.
can you imagine the mass hysteria the Press would have if Bush had uttered such a callous, ignorant statement? Or Romney? Perhaps we should focus on the real issues of the day instead of hazing stunts from 47 years ago.
Example 1,619,432 of Occupy Wall Street Ignorance
Here we see the true ignorance and lack of understanding of your average "Occupier".
This is really just sad.

Head scratchin' here, boss
So...if dinosaur farts and belches contributed to global warming and led to their own demise as recently reported, a few questions are in order. There is no evidence a new dinosaur species arrived in the last days of the Dinos. I have not see the fossil remains of Gasosaurus Rex. There is also no evidence there was a mass consumption of sauerkraut or lima beans at some global dinosaur picnic. We can only come to the conclusion the methane build up from Fartasaurs and Belchasaurs was a slow global warming death, inching the temperatures a Celsius or two every few centuries.
That said, unless the theory of evolution did not apply to Barney's ancestors, wouldn't natural selection favored those dinosaurs best suited to live in warmer temperatures? Isn't the theory that the velociraptors and triceratops would have improvised, adapted and overcame a gradual rise in temperatures? Instead, we are told the evidence points to a rapid decline in dinosaurs at a given point in time.
Perhaps I just did not pay enough attention in biology.
