This weeks roundup of the truly despicable:

- Bailouts - Someone please explain to me again why I’m bailing out banks and insurance companies.  I can’t think of two industries that have done LESS for me and in fact have even conspired to make my as hard a possible the past several years.  Now that they’re greed and opportuntistic business practices have driven them into the ground and my hard earned tax money is being to used to bail them out I can tell you one thing:  I don’t want to pay another ATM or overdraft fee for like EVER!  Oh and don’t even think about turning down my insurance claim as standard practice.  Here’s another thing that chaps my ass about this while thing:  The price of oil is dependent on the stock market and the banks and insurance companies caused this mess while oil companies have posted record profits for several quarters in a row.  Why in the HELL aren’t we making the oil companies bail out the banks?

- Sarah Palins wardrobe - Ladies, I’ve watched the Oscar preshows.  Do you all REALLY think that Sarah Palin could get away with wearing the same suit twice in 2 months?  Or have hair and makeup that was less than perfect?  The men can wear the blue suit Monday with the blue tie and the same suit Wednesday with the red tie and NOONE NOTICES!  Women don’t have that luxury…mainly because of other women.  Give me a break, the whole $150,000 clothes issue is a NONISSUE so get over it and get used to it because this will be the norm once we have more high profile women running for the highest offices.

- Joe the Plumber - Oh nevermind I’m so sick of this one even I can’t get worked up over it anymore.

- Melamine in China - At this point is there anything they eat that DOESN’T have melamine in it?  I propose we just start calling the country “Melamine.”

- Obama ahead in polls - You’d think this would be a good thing but unfortunately there are you giant MORONS out there that look at the polls and say to yourself “I don’t need to go vote if he’s so far ahead.”  GO VOTE!!!  Regardless of who you vote for your voice needs to be heard.

Next weeks smackdown could go very badly one way or the other depending on the election results.  Stay tuned…

An alternate title for this post could be “The one in which Kile sobers up enough from his scotch-induced coma to spout nonsensical rhetoric.” Heh. This weeks roundup of the truly despicable:

- Dean Heller - If you’re not from Norther Nevada you probably don’t know him but he’s running for one of the open congressional seats here. I have never seen such a deplorable, mud-slinging, low-brow campaign. And this from the guy who’s a REPUBLICAN running in a REPUBLICAN leaning district and leading by 13 FUCKING POINTS in the polls. Also, since when did the term “liberal” become a dirty word meant to be said with vitriol and derision? This guys a world-class jackass. I’d be embarrassed to vote for him even if I was a Republican.

- David Frum on Rachel Maddow - Dude, seriously I understand what you were TRYING to say on the show whcih was basically that we need to get away from low-brow politics. Bravo! Couldn’t agree with you more. But why in the world would you compare Maddows punditry with bigotry and lies? They aren’t even in the same fucking ballpark! When you were confronted with this fact by Maddow your response was to change the subject? Did you really think you were going to get the last word on that one? I’m so sick of that dismissive elitist attitude. Stand up and argue like a man you pussy (especially when you bring it up)!

- Obama-Ayers “Controversy” - Is the McCain campaign seriously going to pin all their hopes on deriding a professional relationship between Barack Obama and Bill Ayers, the Distinguished Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago? A relationship in which they first met and worked together on education reform and fighting poverty? FUCKING LIBERALS!! Always out there trying to reform our education fight poverty!

- McCain Campaign - You do know that pinning your hopes on the Obama-Ayers “Controversy” is the last nail in your coffin right? Just saying.

What the hell am I going to complain about once the election is over? Okay I need more scotch.

Okay sorry folks I’ve been MIA for a couple weeks but promise to start posting as much as I can again. I’ve been busy nursing a running injury and wrangling a two-year-old, not to mention having family in town and doing more shopping than usual. Time to get back to the business of blogging.
