Can somebody please explain to me what a Corpse Man is?  Is that like the guy who watches "corpses"?  Is it the guy who counts corpses?

I can't believe someone on his staff or at least his speechwriter didn't explain to the President of the United States the proper pronunciation of the word.

This is the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces and he doesn't know how to pronounce Corpsman?

Good Grief!  This is way too embarrassing.  Not once, but twice he mispronounces this word. 

Yeah yeah yeah, I know.  Bush said nuculear or something like that.  We made fun of him too.

Dangers of TOTUS: Obama Reads Word "Corpsman" as "Corpse Man" Twice

I don't know who the author was or is. 

I got this in an email today from a good friend. 

Seems like the writer was inside my head. because I remember I screamed at the TV during the State of the Union speech that I was sick and tired of hearing old barry whining about inheriting the Bush deficit.

I'm Sick of "Inherited" The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush, blah blah blah.  Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense. So once more, I'll try a short civics lesson. Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for Fiscal Year 2008 and Fiscal Year 2009, as well as Fiscal Year 2010 and Fiscal Year 2011.  In that first year, they had to contend with eorge Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.  For Fiscal Year 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid  bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office.  At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the Fiscal Year 2009 budgets. And where was Barack Obama during this time?  He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete Fiscal Year 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period: If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets.  That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending.  After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.  If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

Can I please unwrap my head soon?

Senator Gregg blasts the White House Budget Chief over using TARP money that's paid back for small business.

Although it may be helpful to small business (where was this type of help a year ago?), apparantly it is currently against the law to do so now. 

I'm no lawyer, but my understanding when all this came about, was that the money was to be repaid back to reduce the deficit.  They can't keep track of where all the money has gone, and now when it's being repaid, they want to send it out again?

I say no. 

It just sounds like another shell game to me.  Are we ever going to learn that these corrupt politicians don't care where they spend our hard earned tax dollars.

I would like to see a full accountability of how and where the TARP money was spent and how much has been paid back before they start re-spending money they don't have.

I'd also like to see our lawmakers cut out the frivolous spending, and work toward balancing the budget. 

Sen. Gregg Blasts WH Budget Chief on Capitol Hill Over Obama's Plan to Use TARP as a "Piggy Bank"

The list for Washington's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" of 2009 was released by Judicial Watch a couple weeks ago, and it seems the Lame Stream Media is once again ignoring a pretty good story.

The list in my opinion is quite telling.  Actually, it's quite frightening.

In alphabetical order here they are:

1.  Senator Christopner Dodd (D - CT) ~ Two years in a row.

2.  Senator John Ensign (R - NV)

3.  Rep. Barney Frank (D - MA)

4.  Secretary of Treasury Timothy Geithner

5. Attorney General Eric Holder

6.  Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D - IL) / Senator Roland Burris (D - IL)

7.  President Barack Obama (D)

8. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D - CA)

9.  Rep. John Murtha (D _ PA)

10. Rep. Charles Rangel (D - NY)

Two notes of interest.
 
President Bush has never been on the list.

President Obama has been on the list 4 years straight.  2006 (dishonorable mention), 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Personal note ~ Imagine the media frenzy if Sarah Palin or Scott Brown were on this list?

Okay, here's the rundown on the Bold Fresh Show.

In a word ~ Awesome Comedy!!

I apologize in advance because I'm not real good at this.  I hope I can give a good idea of what the show was like.

I showed up half hour early, and found a parking spot in the mall area.  Walked to the theater in the drizzle.  Did I mention I just had my car washed on Saturday?

Got my ticket and went to the theater #9 where the Bold Fresh was playing.

Found a seat near some cool folks.  That would have been just about anywhere in the show.  Lots of anticipation and chatter.  Mostly friendly.

I noticed a policeman and a couple other bodyguard looking types off to the side, and one man with a walkie talkie.  I mentioned to the lady on my right that I had never seen a policeman in the theater before.  She thought it was odd also.  Just before the show, the general manager stood up front and welcomed everyone and apologized for the new he had.

The show was not going to be simulcast live due to blizzard-like conditions in Virginia where the show was supposed to occur.  The governor and tour directors decided for the safety of the folks to cancel and reschedule.

Lots of groans in the audience.  We were then told that the show we were about to see was the show that was recorded the day before at the Sun Dome in Tampa.  They had done 2 shows the day before.  (I guess I had my days mixed up).  Ohhhhh from the audience.  In addition, we were told we would be getting free tickets to either see the next live simulcast show or a show of our choice at a later date.  Wow's from the audience. They would give them out at the end of the show.

NO SHOUTING  ~  NO ANGRY MOBS ~ NO RIOTS   ~  NO NEED FOR THE POLICE. 

On with the show. 

The show starts out with Beck coming out looking like, well.... like Beck.  Black jeans, pull over shirt, and sneakers.  He's wearing the modern tiny microphone taped to the side of his face with ear plug and wire down to transmitter.  Sound is fine.
He's very lively, happy to be there and the crowd at the Sun Dome is on their feet.  Our crowd is just kind of looking on awkwardly. 

He's quick witted, makes fun of the wimps with their snow storm.... and apologized for the situation.  He launches into a comedy  skit and the night is off. 

Funny story.  He says they've had this show in Tampa scheduled for months, and had to put in a second show because of the demand.  He had commented on the State of the Union Speech, and had his opinion.  Not a good one in case you were wondering.  But, apparently after the SOU, the POTUS was coming to Tampa.  He wanted the Sun Dome for his event.  Imaging his surprise and dismay when he was told he couldn't have it because it was being used by Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly?  Boy to be a fly on the wall. 

I'm not a comedian, and my version is not nearly as hysterical as Becks.  Between his way of telling, and his gestures, we were really busting up.

He went on for about half an hour or more, then he brings O'Reillly out. 

O'Reilly of course is wearing dockers (light color), shiny black shoes, shirt and tie, and a sport jacket.  He uses the old fashioned hand held microphone.
They banter about for a few minutes.  Glenn picks on Bills outfit, and Bill says Glenn shopped at K-Mart for his clothes. 

Then Bill goes into his routine. 

Bill is not really as funny as Glenn, but he had some good stuff.  Picture this -  Bill O'Reilly (all 6'4" of him) telling a story about Nancy Pelosi and jumping up and down on the stage.  It was really funny.

A 20 minute intermission.  Surprise!

They both come back on stage and just knock the house down.  In the back of my mind for some reason, I thought of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.  Not nearly as good, but they do make a good team, and they work well together.

Overall, a great experience.  Would I do it again?  Absolutely!  Well worth the money.

A special note to all Tea Party folks.  Stay tuned to a major event August 28th, for another meet in Washington.  Glenn wants us all to meet him at the steps to the Lincoln Memorial.  I think I will be making special plans this summer.

I'm going to the Bold Fresh Tour tonight. 

Can you imagine Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly on the same stage together?

I can't afford tickets at the Sun Dome in Tampa, and what was left were nosebleed seats starting at $65.00.  I have a confession to make.  Not only am I afraid of heights, I'm cheap to boot.  (I paid $95 to see Celine Dion in 97' at the Ice Palace in Tampa - nosebleed seats and total fear factor to boot... promised myself never to do that again).

So, I sprang for $25 to see it at the local AMC theater in Brandon.  The show is being simulcast in theaters, so I'll probably have a better seat and I'll be able to see and hear them better.  I'm really looking forward to it, and plan to have a lot of laughs.

To those of you who don't like Beck or O'Reilly I understand, and you probably wouldn't want to go and see them.  That's fine with me. 

You are welcome to comment as long as you keep them civil.  All hateful comments will be deleted.  If you don't like that idea, then don't comment and I won't delete your comment.

I won't allow anyone to Rain on my parade.

I'm expecting to have a awesome, laugh filled and entertaining evening.

I just may blog about it tomorrow.

Oprah Winfrey was named the #1 favorite TV personality by the Harris Poll. 
She has consistently been in the top five since 1993.  and has been No. 1 for five years (2002-2006).  She dropped to No. 2 in 2007 and No. 4 in 2008.

The big surprise this year is that Glenn Beck, was named #2. 

I repeat ...

Glenn Beck was named #2.
 

He's never been on the list in the past. That's a heck of a jump.



The rest of the list, in descending order:

Jay Leno
Ellen DeGeneres
Hugh Laurie
Jon Stewart
Charlie Sheen
Mark Harmon
David Letterman
Bill O'Reilly

Congratulations Glenn Beck!

At the request of Wallace Gibson, I am posting "Pants On The Ground". 

I saw a clip of this on Fox the other night and laughed.  But, the full video is really funny. 

Wallace, made mention of the videos, but she didn't know how to post the videos.  So, being the gentleman that I am, I found the two videos she mentioned, and here they are.

The first one is the American Idol version with Larry Platt who is 62 years old. 

Pants On The Ground American Idol

The second version is with Brett Favre.

Brett Favre - Pants On The Ground: New Footage (HD)

There you go Wallace.

Pants on the ground,
Pants on the ground,
Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground.

Wallace also thought this sign would be a cool add on to the videos, since it seems the videos have gone viral.  Hope you all enjoy.

I thought this blog would be worthy of a re-blog for many good reasons.  While I don't exactly agree with the blog (I lived in Texas for 5 years and have a strong bond with Texas and Texans), I thought it should be put out there some more.
