Headlines! Headlines! Don't Read All About It! If you do, you will want to stick your head in the sand and never come up for air! Happy Heart & Love Month Everyone! Can't you feel the love that is angling/bursting forth through the ether's of the planet??? Ah Yes! Let my people go...I'm mad as H___ and I am not taking it anymore! Stop the World - I Want to Sputnik Outta Here! Egyptian Politicks Eclipse U.S. Politicks! Off with the Old and On with the New! Dead President's Never Die! U.S. Women Doctors are Getting the Short-End of the Financial Stethoscope Stick! Sexism in America is Alive and Thriving!

Well, not unless you are a complete idiot, recluse or possibly even both, the Big News du jour is the Egyptian Uprisings. Off with the Old and On with the New! Mubarek of Egypt conceded this past Saturday his 30 year dictatorial post. Could it possibly all those folks in Tahrir Square demanding dignity and freedom for all??? Ya' think? Ya' think that all this rioting, screaming and anger kind of gently let him know that his services were no longer needed??? Now, the next big question is - when will he say Adios? And who will be his successor? All of this Jewel of the Nile justification is the current reason why food and oil will skyrocket throughout the planet. Hang on to your wallets folks! Politicks has now reached into your back pocket - once again!

Former U.S. Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright says - "My personal opinion is that the Mubarek Era is over...and the U.S. can't micromanage them." Ya' think? Madeleine? We've got enough on our plates as it is...you know Us - We - the good ole US of A? We've got to handle stuff like repealing the unconstitutional health care disaster law; the leaky border down South; illegal immigration; social insecurity; Medicare; Medicaid; the 2012 elections...and as The Sarah alluded to in a 2008 V.P. ad - "that Egypt is the White House's 0300 AM phone call but it's going straight to the answering machine." Another case of we think that we can solve the world's problems but we can't fix our own. Heal thyself U.S. of A. Heal Thyself!

Speaking of The Sarah and her daughter Bristol...apparently Sarah has filed to Trademark and Patent...(http://theweek.com/article/index/211863/only-in-america-can-sarah-palin-trademark-her-name) Sarah Palin & Bristol Palin. From the last I heard...it's all just pending...this just in...no she can't...this ad brought to you by Swiffer...we need more than that to get all those dust mites off of hard surfaces...anyway, a bunch of bored Alaskans leaked to one of the tabloids (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/28/sarah-palin-todd-palin-affair_n_815387.html) that Sarah's hunk hubby Todd was hanging with Anchorage's finest prostitutes....of course Sarah cuts that to shreds with one of her Palinesque no-nonsense-get-out-of-my-face-style refudiations to that patdown - "It's all a Big Lie and a waste of time. Heck, all they had to do is ask me or ask Todd himself - 'Hey Todd, are you hanging out with hookers in Anchorage?' and he'd tell the truth." Stand by your man - Sarah. That is what a good Republican wife does - doesn't she?

Comic Tracy Morgan, formerly of the Saturday Night Live Troupe loves The Sarah. Apparently at a SAG Awards he shared his deepest, most innermost feelings about how he felt about her. He thinks that Moma Grizzly herself is one hot Moma (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/31/tracy-morgan-sarah-palin-_1_n_816174.html) Of course he got his knuckles cracked with a yardstick from the broadcast powers that be for that one. What? Censoring comics? The last bastion of truth in the Stupid-Bowl of Politicks...what is this politically incorrect country coming to?

Moving along, it is true. Dead President's Never Die. We keep on celebrating their birthdays...and this past Sunday would have been Ronald Reagan's Centennial Birthday or 100th. (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2011/02/the-reagan-centennial-celebrat.html) Radio Broadcaster - Actor - Governor of California - 40th U.S. President. I love it! Sarah gave a talk at the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, Ca. this past Friday to commemorate - The Gipper. Sounds like a gourmet fish. She declared that the U.S. was leaning to - "a road to ruin...a nation beleaguered by debt and out-of-control-government-spending...and that an urgent change was needed in D.C." Gosh, if Egypt can do it, so can we, ya' think?

Since Sarah is so brilliant at shaking her money maker for the Republicans and herself, I do believe that Sarah needs to give talks to women on equal pay for equal work. A study shows that new girl doctors are getting the short end of the stethoscope in the economics of medicine...the study was done at the University of Illinois at Chicago...apparently they looked at 8000 new doctors in New York State. In 1999, women doctors were making $151,600 compared to $173,400 for men. By 2008, the gals were making $174,000 compared to $209,300 for the guy doctors. Yes sirree, pay disparity and sexism is alive and thriving in America...I Am Searching for Intelligent Life in the Universe...Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

Well, it's a wrap folks - for today that is. The International Stupid-Bowl of Politicks whirrs on and on...into infinity...and where she stops...no one knows. Whoops - there he goes - ousted by unpopular opinion - you are history man - Mr. Mubarek. And it is a Lie-Lie-Big Lie according to The Sarah about her hunky hubby having any type of Alaskan-Style Todd-ry Sex Affair...in Anchorage...of all places on the planet...how can a gal work the streets deep in the bowels of winter up there? Burr...Baby it's cold outside!

I don't know how everyone else feels but this past week was a political Twilight Zone. Rather than utilizing the saddened energy to unite folks...the media and politicians used it as an opportunity to further incite people. I am glad I do not vote...I wouldn't vote for any of them. When all is said and done - they must go to bed at night feeling mighty proud of themselves for rubbing salt in wounds...Peace & Grief...is an alien concept for them to grasp. What happened to the milk of human kindness for All the afflicted in the Jan. 8th. massacre???

How the media connected the dots to accuse Sarah Palin is a mystery to most??? What the #@*k??? She wasn't even there. She was probably up in Alaska spearing salmon for dinner or building an igloo. Maybe she was playing with Momma Grizzles, who knows...but she wasn't there. Such finger pointing and cheap shots at individuals is childish and foolish. But that is the sad part of the media and politics...they want to stay in business. As George Bush once quipped - "Turn the on button off." I start my day off with G-O-D not CNN; ABC; NBC; CBS; FOX NEWS or any other of them.

It seems that 2 days after the shooting folks were out there scooping up all the GLOCK 19's that they could muster up before there is a new emergency law saying saying that's it's illegal for private citizens to buy them. I certainly hope these folks did their background checks on all who did buy the guns...but quite frankly, that's just a delusional smoke 'n' mirrors trick...yes it does weed out some but not all potential offenders. Believe me, if someone is hell bent on getting a gun, they will get a gun. No excuses. The poor troubled shooter was smart enough not to have a psychiatric history that didn't come up on the radar...the media think tank coupled with the politicians were having a heyday on playing the Blame Game.

Jon Stewart thought that The-Big-Mourner-In-Chief's approach to consolation was more of a pep-rally as opposed to genuine grief. As ex-staffer Rahm Emmaunuel stated - "Never let a crisis go to waste." Unless it happens to you. That is actually when you may feel something. The whole speech - as I observed was Cookie-Cutter-Grief with a dash of Artificial-Mourning. Grief & Mourning For Sale.

Perhaps the Political Cyborgs (part-human; part-robotic) and Aliens may want to tone down their Think Tank with all of their inflammatory talk...but that's just not going to happen. I heard one Talking Head say on one of those Talking Head Shows..."Nobody would watch and we wouldn't have a job." And I counter with..."What planet did you say you were from...Cyborg? Or are you an Alien?"

Anyway, on another Talking Head Show, they were talking with some Congress people who actually knew something about mental health. I couldn't get past the fact that the standing excuse is/was - "That's there's no more $$$ in the kitty to increase services." Exxxxcuuuuseeee Me! How much of a wake-up call does Washington D.C. need? The shooter is just as much as a victim as the victims in his spree. He is/was a loose cannon...a by-product of this insidiously insane society...Houston, we have a problem. CaChing $$$. I just heard a cash register go off...there she blows...another couple of billion to all of those aggravating little wars in the Middle East...hey folks here in the U.S. ... you're on your own. We need Homeland Security in the Homeland too.

Anyway, according to a Quinnipiac Poll, taken between 1/4-1/11 2011...it said...that Prez Dude's approval rating is on the rise. Margin of error..2.4 + or -. It was with a sampling of 1647 voters...by phone. I ask...who are these voters? What is their party affiliation? According to the last Census in 2010 there is over 308 million folks in the U.S. Is that really a fair sampling? As Benjamin Disraeli once said - "There are three kinds of lies; lies, damned lies & statistics." Or "figures lie...but liars figure." (Charles Grosvenor)

Others highlights and hoopla of the past week is that Reagan's son said that his Dad was showing signs of Alzheimer's whilst in White House...we all knew that...that was hot press for awhile a while back...he's going on a book tour now with his story. Michael Steele was ousted as GOP Chairman...Bye Michael...replaced by Wisconsin's Reince Priebus...another lawyer...zzzzz. A Yale law professor put out a book about how Chinese mothers are superior - Mother-Superior-Dragon-Breathe-Tiger-Mom. She's already getting a lot of flack...

And there is a new Miss America...from Nebraska - The Cornhusker State...I didn't even know that they still had those silly-plastic-contest-ceremonies...anyway she is a 17 year old drop-dead gorgeous gal who apparently had all the right answers for America according to the judges..that is. She says - "I want to make sure I stand for what is right...stand up for integrity and honesty." She wants to go to law school and then go into politicks. Her name is Teresa Scanlan. I say find another profession Teresa. Find another profession that is worthwhile where you will be loved...like Mother Teresa...there are so many ways to make a difference. Don't be just another Political Cyborg.

Well the usual backbiting continues in the Political Cyborg & Alien capital of the universe...Washington D.C. this week...you know...back to the familiar...politicks as usual. The Aliens and Cyborgs will insist on pushing their agendas through...the dogs bark and the caravan moves on...and still no sex scandal...yet. Bill, we miss you...when are you coming back?

Imagine this...we are in a theatre...the curtain goes up...there is a man sobbing on the phone with his back to the audience...he speaks in broken cries..."Oh please Bill, please Bill...come and talk to my people...tell 'em...make 'em understand that I can be trusted...boohoo...boohoo...boohoo...and that I am willing to compromise...oh please Bill...please-please-please-Bill," bemoans Obama. "Talk some sense in them Bill...they don't like me anymore." He turns around to face the audience...big alligator teardrops fall from his big brown eyes.

Obama turns his back again to audience. He continues his song of woe. "Please come to unfunckle (my new made up word...meaning to debunk, unfurl, demystify, untangle) this new tax bill for me. I've got to get back on the saddle again...I am willing to compromise...really I am." In the background we hear the music from the famous jazz musician - Mose Allison - playing - Your Mind Is On Vacation But Your Mouth Is Working Overtime...and streamed in through the phone on the other line is the Coasters - Yakety Yak - Don't Talk Back. Obama turns to audience with an ear to ear grin. Curtain. Lights dim.

Yes, it is true...Billy Boy Clinton conceded and came to the rescue to help Obama clean up his spilt milk...his wet burp...help to change his messy diaper. "I don't like to compromise...after all, I am Prez-Big-Spender-In-Chief-Dude...and I never did play well in the sandbox with others"...Obama laments..."but thanks Bill...you are one of the greatest Presidents of all time...the country thrived with you in charge...you know, I think I am going to actually read your book...do you have an autographed copy that I could have...President Clinton? I must copy success...copy success..." Curtain down. Act of desperation completed...for now.

Moving on from one Big Wig to yet another Big Wig of sorts...we have Julian Assange...either the World loves him or totally detests him...the WikiLeaks Founder...from Australia - Mate - is he a Devil or Angel? Cop or Robber? Good or Evil? Cowboy or Indian? Saint or Sinner? Braveheart or Coward? Terrorist or Pacifist? Friend or Foe? And what is this nonsense in Sweden about his condom breaking while having consensual sex??? Sex by surprise...I guess we can call him The Leaky Geek...that's a great name for all of his Interpol adventures coming to you from the nearest cable in Cyberspace...

And we cannot forget about Sarah...the media-o-cracy loves to pick on Sarah, Inc; The Sarah; Sarah Palin-isms...whatever one would like to address her as...I just wonder why...the media-o-cracy programs the public to dislike and disdain her...why-why-why??? I asked a female septuagenarian why she disliked Sarah? She just said - "She's pathetic." Why? I pressed. "Because she says stupid things." Like what? Be specific...I said. "Oh, I don't know," she said.

I then quoted some Sarah-isms to her. "Some in the GOP establishment have a problem with me because I have been taking on the Good 'Ole Boy Network for a couple of decades now...some of the Good 'Ole Boys don't like that." On another occasion she spoke of the country rejecting Obama's agenda. "Obama sees America as the problem; I see America as the solution." On another occasion she said - "You thought pit bulls were tough? You don't want to mess with a Mama Grizzly." And, I ask, what is so stupid about any of these remarks??? They are sharp and insightful...to the point.

Another Sarah-ism is: "My positions are not at all controversial. The majority of Americans agree with me across the board on issues. I think that it is a personal thing that probably stems from the media demonetization and mischaracterization of what I stand for...shoot, if I really believed all that those guys write about me...I wouldn't like me either." She sounds exactly like Hillary when the Hill says - "I don't believe half of what I read." And neither do I...and I hope most folks don't either.

And speaking of folks from Alaska...apparently Tea Party Candidate Joe Miller who won the primary for state senator but lost the election to write-in candidate and incumbent Lisa Murkowski...well, another final answer to Joe is No-No-No from his hearing last week on who won...he's stewing and contemplating whether or not he will take the judgment to the State Supreme Court to appeal...as he sees it....there is still some details that need to be hashed out...but is it worth going to the nth degree??? Alaska is really cold this time of year...looks like Lisa won...she's going to Washington D.C. as State Senator...stay tuned...

So, it is back to politicks as usual...give back Bill Clinton his throne until re-election time rolls around...let him be Prez...but that ain't gonna happen...just wishful thinking that is on a lot of people's minds...the ultimate question still remains - who will beat the current Big-Spender-In-Chief??? Who will be the GOP frontman or frontwoman? We shall see...for a brief moment in time there was a glimmer of Political Sanity...temporary and fleeting at best...but when Bill speaks...all hopefully listened...he never left the podium.

Speaking of listening...the best quote of the year for a politician... goes to Christine O'Donnell and her "I Am Not a Witch" campaign slogan. This according to a Yale Librarian. Go Christine!!!

So the only sex scandal is Bad Boy Julian Assange in Sweden with his little leaky sex-a-pade...I guess he is singing the blues in his cell now - I'm Just a Leaky Geek From Australia - Yakety Yak - Don't Talk Back...

So the Republicans are in the House huffing and puffing...'dem Dems are refudiating all of the hot air...so what else is new darling??? We are in the deep doldrums of the 2010 wake-up call of politicks - Lame Brain vs. Lame Duck a la political boredom extraordinaire...and speaking of Burlesque...according to Webster's Dictionary - it is defined as - "Any broadly comic or satirical imitation of something...derisive caricature; parody." So that is what we are experiencing currently - The Grande Burlesque of Politicks.

Prez Big-Spender-In-Chief-Dude made a surprise visit to Afghanistan this past week to cheer up the troops...I surmise...he did thank them for all that they are doing...his biography DVD made by the Biography Channel retailed originally for $12.95...marked down to $6.98...now marked down to $4.98...the price keeps dropping...slipping away... at my neighborhood independent bookstore...politicks as usual remains politicks as usual...it just will not change...that is the constant.

So now the "Sacred Cows" in the out of control budget for the U.S. of A. is 1)'Ze military...what to do...what to do with the military budget??? 2)Social InSecurity...what to do with Grandma's and Grandpa's hard-earned money that they paid into all of these years...3)Taxes - what to exempt and what to deduct???... Senator Boehner (R) calls the new Tax Vote - chicken crap.

Great quotes heard on the air and in the air this past week goes to Gene Simmons - the famous Israeli-American Rock Star - aka - The Demon - in the 70's rock band KISS...he now wants "his vote back from Obama...I want the government out of my life." Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, niece of JFK attacked Sarah Palin saying that "she is wrong about JFK; religion; and politicks."

Hillary joked about the Wiki-Leaks at a reception for Kennedy Center Honors. "I am writing a cable about it which I am sure that you will find at your closest website." And NO - the Hill is not resigning her post as Secretary of State...she just had a bad hair week all week last week...and NO - she will not be replacing Joe for the VP bid...the rumor control is really out of control...no wonder Hill says - "I don't believe half of what I read."

And I don't either. It's all surreal. It's all printed on paper.... the Internet...the TV...the radio...in a magazine or some type of media - it's not real...the whole charade of politicks is just not real to the average American...it's all smoke 'n' mirrors...it's an illusion...all these folks in power...they are just an image in a video or a still photo at a photo-op...or a voice on the radio.

Sarah Palin hit back at Barbara Bush in an interview for Barbara saying on air that Sarah "ought to go back to Alaska"...Sarah said - "I don't believe that the majority of Americans want to put up with the bluebloods...with all due respect, I love the Bush's...the bluebloods who want to pick the winners instead of allowing competition." Very well said Sarah...no wonder you are Taking America by Heart...Sarah is quite the warrior...she told BaBa WaWa that she could beat Prez Dude in the next election...go Sarah!!!

What I think is interesting is Sarah has the world as her stage...her oyster...her captive audience...from an unknown Governor of cold - cold - cold resource rich Alaska...to one of the most talked about...written about...satirized women of the 21st Century in America...that's a lot of power, by golly, a lot of power. Everywhere she goes she has a flock of media bloodhounds tagging at her heels...ready to pounce on her without a moment's notice...and/but she just doesn't care. She's funny - she is witty - and she's smart as a whip. Daresay, I say, she dares to say what she says - even if everyone refudiates her.

What is the most interesting...of all the Republican hopefuls for the 2012 Prez Bid...of all those chosen...and them being...Mike Huckabee; Mitt Romney; Tim Pawlenty; Jeb Bush; Mitch Daniels; Bobby Jindal; Newt Gingrich; Haley Barbour; John Thune; Marco Rubio...she is the most talked about and the most popular...she is a household name...Sarah...Little Princess.

Speaking of Alaska...the final answer for the dragged out Senate dilemma...Tea Party Candidate Joe Miller who won the primary but lost the general election to incumbent Lisa Murkowski...a write-in candidate...well...it is still undecided on who will be State Senator. There is a hearing this Wednesday somewhere in Alaska...zzzzzzzz.......we'll see which way the wind will blow....maybe they ought to draw straws at this point...

So the Burlesque Political Show plays 24/7 at any media outlet near you...and everybody but everybody knows that the question really is...who can beat Obama from the long list of potential GOP Candidates...and/or will Hillary throw her hat in the ring for Prez??? She just hasn't cabled out that memo - yet - to be leaked at a website near you...and still no sex scandal yet...good golly Ms. Molly...what is this country coming to??? No sex scandal in politicks? Bill, where are you?
