The blueprint that the Schumer Graham Blueprint offers, wants to attract the best and brightest. Since you don’t get any more “bester or brightester” than the president, as the tea partiers indicated, the Congress has decided to higher India’s president under this new proposal in order to save a few bucks.

Obama: Pissed At The People's Decision To Outsource The US Presidency To Singh of India Due To Greater Indian Efficiency And Budget Concerns

ECONOMY WOES
Real estate reports show dismal figures despite the White House’s insistence that the economy is looking up.

Las Vegas leads the way with 81.8 percent of borrowers underwater on their loans in the third quarter of this year, down barely one percent from the second quarter but still up 10 percent from the first quarter.

When asked about it, Press Secretary Robert Gates, said “yeah but that’s just one statistic. Besides that’s Vegas, and you know about what happens in Vegas, so chillax.”

DICK CHENEY ACCUSES AG ERIC HOLDER

GRRRRR

Former Vice President Dick Cheney suggested that Attorney General Eric Holder wants a “show trial” for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other alleged 9/11 conspirators who are to be tried in a civilian court just blocks away from where the World Trade Center once stood.

He followed his comments by saying, “see what you do is you take ‘em on a hunting trip.”  Then he remembered where he was and just growled.  His lapse in cognizance was excused as he is currently being treated for AGS (Angry Gringo Syndrome).

11 KLANSMAN PROTEST

All eleven klansman showed up to protest at Ole’ Miss. They vowed that the South would “Raise Up” again, even if took all eleven of them to do it.

MEXICAN CONSULATE IN HOUSTON LAUNCHES NEW CAMPAIGN, HIRES TEMPORARY WORKERS

TIGER WOODS

Tiger Woods accidentally ended up in Iceland, after misunderstanding the news headlines. He dropped everything after hearing that there was an Icelandic ass so big that it stopped air traffic….You know….cuz it’s kind of his thing.

Handy Manuel

Hopeful
Last Friday Handy Manny won the “Citizen” of the Year Award in the little town in which he does odd jobs. It is my hope that with his new-found influence he will push for a just immigration reform and citizenship for all, especially now that we know his immigration status allows him to organize without threat of deportation.

Frustrated, In Pain and Satisfied
I had a little pain in my pinky about two weeks ago. Thought it might be carpal tunnel. On Thursday, all of sudden, it seemed to be a fracture. Didn’t want to spend $200 for them to tell me to put some tape on it. Researched it. Think its a stress fracture. Taped it up, and seems to be healing nicely. Operation Scam System Accomplished.

Humored
Apparently, the stimulus figures were released, and a non-existent district was listed as a major beneficiary of the funds.  Conservatives went nuts.  Still not as bad as Bush winning with non-existent popular votes.

Wondering if this is news
A new study finds university students in coed housing are 2.5 times more likely to binge drink every week. And no surprise, they’re also likely to have more sexual partners, the study found. Also, pornography use was higher among students in coed dorms. A separate study in 2007 found that college exacerbates the innate predisposition of some young adults to become heavy alcohol users. In effect, going to college can fuel alcoholism.

Remember when Repubs wanted to count ketchup as a vegetable so that they wouldn’t have to provide real nutrition to our children?  That same group is offering to advertise this in the barrios as a way to offer affirmative action, without actually offering it. Not really, but wouldn’t put it past ‘em.

By the way, I thought the WAITRESS was supposed to be starstruck

Confused
There was a lot of talk about Obama’s visit to China, and whether or not he would bring up their secret “black prisons.”

“Liu Yuhong’s family had a quarrel with their landlord. Now her parents are in a re-education camp and she miscarried after being beaten in a ”black jail”, writes John Garnaut in Beijing.”

I was wondering if the Chinese would bring up the US’s not-so-secret black (and brown) prisons.

Obama delivers speech. Just got to the part of the speech that address the amount of interest the US will be paying China on its loans. Yup, just like a kick in the nads.

I plan to send it by Friday.  Thanks in advance for those who can e-mail something.

Happy…
It seems that our campaign to have Lou Dobbs removed from CNN has taken its toll, according to The Times.

He might be moving to Fox with the scum.

Laughing…
Because on his farewell video, he says he is “considering a number of options and erections.” Check it out on 1:21 of the video.

Dislike…
The fact that 25% of Texans are uninsured. I can only imagine the statistics for minorities in Texas. Want to choke the pay-for-performance Republicans who don’t grade themselves. From where I stand, the rates of uninsured minorities in Texas counts as an ‘F.’ Let’s implement some no politician left behind here in Texas. No pass, no play. No passing grade on insurance, no re-election. No compromise.

Like…
How the House shoved the Healthcare reform bill down the Repubs throats. They swallowed it. he he. Anyway, no nitty gritty tactical analysis, but the fact that they passed the bill with only one vote to spare makes me inclined to think that they pushed it as far as it would go without breaking. That’s all I hope for from politicians: invest leadership in pushing things as far to the left as you can. I don’t expect perfection from politicians nor from their bills, but if you want me to go to the polls, at least prove to me that you’ll push the envelope as far as you can. Our Restoration (O/R) won’t come to us through Congress, but at let’s at least get as much as we can in the meantime, including healthcare and some “papers.”

Perplexed…
Does racism still exist if Hootie won a Country Music Award? (see sarcasm in previous post)
