Talk about Christmas eye candy! Maybe I should change my name to FanGirl Commando!

Tim Burton directs an amazing cast. And you can't go wrong with a cannibal story during the holiday season. The Burton/Depp collaboration has always been a winner. I am really looking forward to this one!

The Best Ron Paul REVOLution Song Yet!!

The very talented Aimee Allen has written & recorded the best Ron Paul song yet!
You can listen to it here:

If you aren't familiar with her work, she has a great song on the Grammy nominated Hairspray soundtrack.

Reality Trash Extraordinaire

The CW is rolling out the mother-daughter pageant reality show Crowned tonight. It looks like it has a LOT of trash potential. Here are the contestants:



And here is the real reason to watch:
I DO love me some Carson Kressley!


UPDATE: Well, I watched and it did not disappoint! Less cat fighting than I would have liked, but it is only the first episode. This has promise. Best line of the night- "I know you were trying to do the southern belle thing, but you just looked like Amish hookers."

HILARY DOES HER HOMEWORK!

Wow, I am impressed. Sen. Clinton, with her grasp of facts (somewhat in the way Gen. Guderian grasped panzer-blitz tactics), has managed to show Barack Obama is a LIE-YER, liar, pantie-wanties on FI-YER.

It seems that Obama denied having some long-range plan to become president. Clinton has shown this to be FALSE by means of a series of testimonies from "associates" of the "senator". Witnesses recall Obama saying that indeed, his plans for conquest of the White House would some day come to fruition.

The long and sinister roll of evidence stretches back to Kindergarten, the womb and matrix of global domination. Iis Darmawan, age 63, current location and occupation not given, formerly Kindergarten teacher, deposed that Obama was "an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills". Further, deponent alleges Obama produced an essay outlining his ambition. Indeed in an eerie echo of "Mein Kampf" and "Stars are Blind", Obama incautiously titled his manual "I Want to Become President". One can only assume that Obama was a highly skilled writer for a Kindergartner.

Full marks to Sen. Clinton on her fearless investigative reporting. Once again she has demonstrated that NOTHING is beyond her eagle eye. She reports, you decide!

Fred Thompson Values My Opinion

so he had one of his minions call me and let me listen to a special message from Fred. After the blah, blah, blah said minion asked me the following question-
"Do you think that control of the government should return to everyday people like you and me?"

To which I responded with an enthusiastic "YES!!! That is why I will be voting for Ron Paul!!"

How does the US KNOW that Iran has Nuke Bomb Plans

BECAUSE WE GAVE THE PLANS TO IRAN!!!!!!!!!!

This article dates from January 2006--

George Bush insists that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. So why, six years ago, did the CIA give the Iranians blueprints to build a bomb?

The bulk of the American people will NEVER hear this story. It doesn't fit their agenda. I cannot even express my level of frustration right now.

NO IRAN WAR!!!!

NO MORE IMMUNITY FOR BLACKWATER!!

An exclusive CBS report says that all private security firms in Iraq have been notified that "immunity from Iraqi law is about to end." The Iraqi interior ministry sent a letter to security contractors explaining that a soon to be ratified Iraq law will remove legal immunities, originally granted by former Coalition Provisional Authority head L. Paul Bremer in 2004.

Justice is a bitch, boys! I hope this does get ratified.

Military Body Armor Supplier Charged With Fraud

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the filing of securities fraud charges against David H. Brooks, the former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board at DHB Industries, Inc., a major supplier of body armor to the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies.

Immune Disorder

We got immunity, we just don't know where we got it. Maybe it fell off the back of a truck?

Immunity Deals Offered to Blackwater Guards

The State Department investigators from the agency’s investigative arm, the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, offered the immunity grants even though they did not have the authority to do so, the officials said. Prosecutors at the Justice Department, who do have such authority, had no advance knowledge of the arrangement, they added.

Where do I start? Of COURSE this stinks to high heaven. The head of the BDS has quit. I'm sure he just wants to "spend more time with his family."

I'm going to dial up my psychic powers and predict what will happen to these Blackwater guys................

NOT A DAMN THING!!!

Oh sure, they might get a letter placed in their "permanant record", but nothing of substance will happen to these men who killed seventeen people. SEVENTEEN!! Most serial killers don't hit numbers like that. Those people don't count because they are Iraqis. God only cares about dead Americans, right? And these same people may be able to just switch to another company, like Dyncorp, and keep working in Iraq.

Let's not forget the damage this is doing to US/Iraq relations. Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki called this a criminal act and an internal Iraqi inquiry found that the Blackwater mercenaries were "100% guilty". They want Blackwater out of the country. They want the right to prosecute offenders. Who can blame them? So far all we have promised is "more oversight". We know what that is worth.

Mukasey: Waterboarding is Torture if It's Torture

Listening to Mukasey makes my head hurt. I keep trying to make sense of this but it does not compute. I don't know who his Constitutional Law professor was, but I NEVER could have gotten away with answers like that in law school. Hell, I couldn't have gotten away with an answer like that in high school. -JoyGirl

When shopping for the loved ones in your life this holiday season, don't forget to visit Blackwater's Pro Shop. Personally, I am waiting for the "My Dad Can Torture Better Than Your Dad" shirts for the wee ones.

Full props go to Chris Nakashima-Brown who I completely ripped off for this post. (Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?) He is an AMAZING fiction writer, and this is from a girl who doesn't like fiction. Check out his stuff.

Blackwater may be facing it's own torturous nightmare from the scariest governtment agency out there. Karma's a bitch.

Monday Morning Quarterbacking

Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about football. We just wanted to do a wrap up of the important and inane from the weekend, along with our pithy commentary.

Obama Won't Wear An American Flag Lapel Pin
JGC says -- Good for him. Men have no business wearing jewlery. They get a wedding ring and a watch. That is all they need. BTW- why in the hell was Obama's 6 year old fashion decision a top story?

"Government says Tasers are Safe"
JGC says -- Well yeah, compared to getting SHOT. Does any part of taser training include the officers getting tased? It should.

Everything that is wrong with America....

can be summed up in 2 words "The Bachelor", or as I like to call it "Whore Parade." No one has ever accused me of being sensitive when it comes to matters of gender (or the heart for that matter) but seriously, this show just makes all humanity look bad. I don't want to be in the same species as those women.

If you are inclined to watch such garbage, watch this instead. It has an amusing Robert E. Howard reference and is loosely based on "The Rules".

Speaking of fluff and trash, Katie Couric & Elizabeth Palmer did a puff piece on Blackwater last night on the CBS evening news. I thought my head was going to explode.

Brother, can you spare a Loonie?

It doesn't seem that long ago that I crossed the northern border, hopped up on ephedra and Amish sauerkraut balls, in search of bargains. I found a "Property of Deggrassi High" shirt at a thrift store and had the best fries ever. Everything was dirt cheap because the dollar was booming.

Now, the bargains are no more. The dollar is in record low territoty. What does that mean for us? If you're in the export biz, it is happy days. For the rest of us, it means just about everything is more expensive.

Economics isn't sexy, but it sure as hell is real. Here's what someone who knows more than me had to say about it.
