I Heard The News Today.... Oh, Boy

I saw a report of shoppers lining up at 2 A.M. at a toy store in Van Nuys, so they could be the first ones in the stores on the busiest shopping day of the year, the day after Thanksgiving.

Another report showed people lined up, hundreds deep, at a Best Buy. They started lining up at 10 P.M. Thanksgiving day.

From the L.A. Times:
Jack Kyser, chief economist of the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp., spent the morning monitoring shoppers at the Lakewood Center mall, and concluded that it's going to be a merry Christmas for merchants.

Analysts have projected sales will rise almost 4 percent nationwide from last year. But in the Southland, Kyser said, sales will probably jump by 8 percent.

But didn't the Democrats say the economy was bad? That everyone was so downbeat and pessimistic?

I wonder what changed...

I'm Goin' Back Someday, Come What May

Linda Ronstadt spoke out again, this time to USA Today. You remember Linda, the idiot who praised Michael Moore through the Eagles song Desperado without first reading the damn lyrics?

Don't get her started on the recent presidential election. "People don't realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves," she says.

Please tell us, Linda, in words the common man can understand, what the hell you just said?

Of Iraq in particular, she adds, "I worry that some people are entertained by the idea of this war. They don't know anything about the Iraqis, but they're angry and frustrated in their own lives. It's like Germany, before Hitler took over. The economy was bad and people felt kicked around. They looked for a scapegoat. Now we've got a new bunch of Hitlers."

I honestly don't know where to start with this. I don't know one person, not a single one, who is "angry and frustrated" about their lives. Sure, some may want better jobs, others may have relationship difficulties. Plus, the economy is not bad. I constantly see new cars and SUV's on the road, theaters and malls packed, not only on weekdays but during the week. Plus, the fact that the new Xbox game Halo 2, at $50 a pop, sold about $125 million on its first day of release, shows that the economy is doing well. Why would people throw away money that they can't afford to throw away on a worthless videogame?

A "new bunch of Hitlers?" God, I wish this woman whould just once, try to explain herself. But I won't hold my breath. I'm to busy entertaining myself with the "idea" of war. This "idea" that Iraq could have become a threat. The "idea" that removing Saddam and liberating 25 million people is a good thing.

I really dislike liberals.

O.D.B. Is D.O.A.

Rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard collapsed and died in a recording studio today. He was 35.

Nobody really cares. I just wanted to use that title.

A Quick Note On Voter Fraud

Voter fraud theories abound. The funniest one I read was this:

...claims that a suspicious number of Florida counties ended up with Bush vote totals that were far larger than the number of registered Republican voters.

I love the fact that it doesn't even enter the tiny mind of the left that Democrats may have VOTED FOR GEORGE W. BUSH!

And I'd like to think that people responding in the exit polls told whoever was asking that they voted for Kerry, just to shut the pollsters up.

Of course, I have no proof...

The Insanity Continues...

From the NEW YORK POST:

November 11, 2004 -- VINCENT D'Onofrio, the star of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," passed out while shooting the hit TV series yesterday morning — prompting insiders to gossip that the actor is "losing it."

"Ever since John Kerry lost the election, [D'Onofrio] has lost his [bleep,]" said our on-set insider.

"He is so hard to work with — a total freak. He constantly complains about the scripts and has held up production a lot."

D'Onofrio, a big Kerry supporter, was said to be devastated over President Bush's re-election. "When PAGE SIX [last week] wrote about 'Law & Order' putting up signs forbidding political discussions on set, it was funny," our source said. "Those signs were put up because of [D'Onofrio]."

About a month before the election, D'Onofrio "insisted" on putting up anti-Bush posters and fliers, "and would attack anyone who disagreed with him," the spy added.

There it is, the key word, "attack." It seems that no one on the left can have a decent debate on issues. They attack, complain, and whine. Many people are leaving the country, and I say, "Don't let the door hit you on the ass." Plus I'm getting really sick of these f*cking idiots telling me that I'm a moron, I'm ignorant, etc., for having religious values and voting for President Bush. I don't take it personally, and I wish these people would just say it to my face.... so I can better ignore them.

And since he's the biggest loser, here' what Michael Moore wants to do:

Michael Moore met with Harvey Weinstein and Moore says they plan to start working -- now -- on "Fahrenheit 9/11½." "We want to get cameras rolling now and have it ready in two-three years," Moore says. "We want to document and commercialize it. Fifty-one percent of the American people lacked information (in this election) and we want to educate and enlighten them. They weren't told the truth. We're communicators and it's up to us to start doing it now. The official mourning period is over today and there is a silver lining -- George W. Bush is prohibited by law from running again."

Since only half the country voted, doesn't he mean that one-quarter of the American people lacked info? Just a thought...

Moore a communicator? He communicates great when asking for his speaking fee and how many hamburgers he wants on his pizza.

And as for those who claim that Hollywood was an albatross on the Democrats' neck, Moore says, "America loves Hollywood. When given a chance to vote for someone from Hollywood, they jump in." He cited the history of successful Republican actor-politicians from George Murphy to Ronnie Reagan to Arnold. "Who is the Democrats' Arnold? We have a number of them. What American wouldn't vote for Tom Hanks (news)? Hollywood is full of people like that."

America does not love Hollywood. America likes what Hollywood produces: movies that entertain. Does Moore actually think Americans are in "awe" of the actor-politician's star status? Reagan and Schwarzenegger have different values than the average moron actor. The average actor does what they've been "trained" to do: they hear bullshit, then recite it. And regarding who wouldn't vote for Tom Hanks? Me. I own one Tom Hanks movie, Forrest Gump.

Moore and Harvey are going ahead on the Oscar campaign for "Fahrenheit 9/11" in best picture and other applicable categories. Harvey told him, "Let's do it. And I said 'whatever Harvey wants, I'm ready.'"

It's interesting. Fahrenheit 9/11 would win the Oscar for Best Documentary easily in ultra-liberal Hollywood, even though it's not a documentary but a comedy/fantasy. But... if he tries to campaign the film in the Best Picture category, that automatically negates the fact that the film is a documentary, and he's acknowledging that the film is FICTION.

I do love it so...

Still Blamin' Bush

Amazing. Even with something that has not a goddamned thing to do with politics or the election, Paramount Pictures has managed to blame Bush for the box-office failure of their movie remake Alfie.

Paramount's Alfie, a remake of a romantic comedy about a roguish womanizer starring Jude Law, opened to a dismal $6.5 million in more than 2,000 theaters, far below expectations. The tepid response was the latest blow to Sherry Lansing, the chairwoman of Paramount who last week announced her plans to leave the job when her contract expires in 2005, and whose movies have performed poorly this summer and fall.

Wayne Llewellyn, the president of distribution at Paramount, said that the conservative ethos reflected in last week's election results might have hurt the film.

"It could be the mood of the country right now," he said. "It seems to be the result of the election. Maybe they didn't want to see a guy that slept around."

Maybe, just maybe, could it be the fact that the movie just doesn't seem that interesting?

Just a thought.

Subject To Negotiations

From NewsMax.Com:

In a bombshell development that could have turned President Bush's victory into a landslide had it come out before the election, John Kerry wrote in his Vietnam War diary that he met with "terrorists" in Paris - a revelation that "flabbergasted" his running mate, John Edwards.
All during the campaign, Kerry had adamantly refused to release his diary, claiming that he'd given exclusive rights to use the document to his biographer, Douglas Brinkely. But when Brinkley told reporters that wasn't true, Kerry still declined to make the diary public.

Now we know why.

According to Newsweek magazine, "Kerry's diary included mention of a meeting with some North Vietnamese terrorists in Paris." Though Kerry's sit-down with North Vietnamese representatives had been reported late in the campaign, his description of them as "terrorists" would have set off smoke alarms. The prospect that the top Democrat was willing to negotiate with "terrorists" 35 years ago would undoubtedly have cemented the Bush campaign's central message on Kerry: Anyone who would negotiate with terrorists can't be trusted with U.S. national security in a post-9/11 world.

John Edwards was "flabbergasted" by the news, Newsweek said. He recognized immediately how important it was to keep Kerry's terrorist confab secret. "Let me get this straight," he told campaign staffers who delivered the shocker. "He met with terrorists? Oh, that's good."

Nice.

The Ultimate Partisan

From Fox News.Com:

NEW YORK — Andrew Veal, a 25-year-old university worker from Georgia, shot and killed himself at ground zero Saturday morning, authorities said.

Veal apparently was distraught over President Bush's re-election, Newsday reported Saturday on its Web site edition, citing an unnamed police source. The newspaper also said the man was a registered Democrat who opposed the war in Iraq.

A spokesman for the Port Authority could not confirm Newsday's account.

Suicidal over the election? Apparently, a country with lower taxes, less government, and a strong leader is enough to kill yourself over.

But it wouldn't be a story without some inane commentary from the left:

Visitors there yesterday reacted in different ways to news of Veal's suicide. Bobbie Jensen, 54, a Republican from Phoenix, said that while she understood how Bush's victory disturbed those who dislike him, Ground Zero is not the place to act on those emotions.

"You can be upset about the war, about Bush, but this is a sacred place," she said. "You got to accept what happened and not kill yourself." But Frank Franca, an East Village artist and registered Democrat, suggested the suicide was symbolic.

"I'm very moved by it," he said. "Obviously, this person was devastated. I can see why he would come here."
"Moved"? By a suicide?

Franca's friend, Jeffim Kuznetsov, a 25-year-old student from Russia who lives in Atlanta, said the suicide is evidence of how deeply many Americans were affected by Kerry's defeat.

"It's a national tragedy," he said. "This election is devastating to all who believe in democracy."

No, you moron, it was NOT a national tragedy. September 11th was a national tragedy. Kerry's losing is due to the people of America.

I have no sympathy for people who decide to check themselves out of life early. Life is tough. Get used to it. We all have our ways to relax and deal with the day-to-day machinations of life. Killing yourself because things don't go your way is the ultimate form of narcissism.

And a quick note to the gays and lesbians out there, who are pissed that Bush was re-elected: Get over it. If any of these people stopped and listened for a change, they'd realize that marriage is defined as the union between a man and a woman. That's all. Gay marriage, that is, the wording, is an oxymoron. Like jumbo shrimp, uninvited guest, or Biggie Smalls.

It Is Accomplished

President George W. Bush has been re-elected for another four years. The American people have shown what this race is all about: values, morals, and our desire to not have our decisions made by other countries. I breathe a huge sigh of relief now, knowing that John Fitzgerald-Forbes-Heinz Kerry is out of the picture. And I respect the man for graciously conceding the race, calling the President at the Oval Office to congratulate him.

Not so for John Edwards. A lawyer till the end, he opened Kerry's concession speech with not a single word about President Bush. But...

This campaign may end today. But the battle for you and the hark-working Americans who built this country rages on.

What battle is he talking about?

The battle rages for the factory worker and the mill worker who says, "I want to work. I just want a job."

Then go look for one. The problem seems to me that people want the jobs to come to them, instead of the other way around.

The battle rages on for the mother who sits in the emergency room with her daughter and wonders how she is going to pay the bill.

The fact is, she is in the emergency room to begin with. Everyone in America has access to health care. But not every American has health insurance. There is a difference.

The battle rages on for the young person who's worked hard and wants to go to collect but doesn't have the money to pay for it.

Um... what?

It goes on for the young child who doesn't understand why they are treated differently just because of the color of their skin.

Okay, where the hell did THAT come from? The Dems keep saying Republicans are racists, but who keeps bringing up the subject of race?

And it rages on for the mother who wants to know why her son was sent over there and will not come home.

Her son died to protect our freedom and ensure everyone's right to vote. It's a simple battle.

This fight will continue in our homes and in our union halls, in our churches, and in our schools, in our offices and over the Internet.

You know, all this talk of fight and battles... I thought they were the anti-war candidates.

We will keep marching toward that one America and we're not going to stop until we get there.

There already is just one America. So stop marching, and start living in it.

You've just heard.... the word.
