I was visiting Tennesse Guerilla Women this morning and loved this video post so I’m posting here and giving a link to her site.

This is just what I have been talking about in so many ways but Ted Rall is a lot funnier than I am. We could do a Where’s Waldo for Democrats. It wouldn’t take too long to find the true Democrats, you know those ones that I remember when I was a kid that actually stood for Democratic principles! You know I’m home with a snow day. There is no teaching going on today, so I’m having some fun expressing myself. This has got to be watched. Archie Bunker at his finest. It’s amazing what you can find on Youtube but what is truly amazing is how close to reality this clip is for today. Am I in a time warp? This could be now.
This is TV when it was really good.
In other news, the movie “Shutter Island” wins the weekend. My son says I have to see this movie. He loved it. He was a film student at the University of Michigan. I’ll probably see it when its on DVD but for anyone else it might be worth coughing up the money. The big news though isn’t Tiger Woods but the Afghanistan civilian deaths. I’m left wondering why we are still stuck in these two stupid wars when we are supposed to have a DEMOCRATIC president. Of course the MSM is still talking about Tiger. I found it interesting this morning when Joe Scarborough from “Morning Joe” on MSNBC said Tiger’s apology was like a third grader acting. Personally, I don’t give a crap about Tiger. What I found interesting is the fact that Joe bummed around on his wife and probably should have kept his mouth shut like he usually does about these sexual matters. He divorced his first wife and couldn’t be faithful to her. It kind of reminds me of the pot calling the kettle black. The numbers don’t matter. What’s the difference if you were unfaithful once or twenty times? You’re still a dirt bag Joe! Also Obama is now going to “compromise” on the health care debate. Isn’t that what we have been doing all along? Everyone hates John Edwards but John said if you invite the corporations basically to the table they will eat all the food. That’s not a quote. It’s just the basic idea of what he said. John has lost all credibility because of his personal choices but we all should be questioning why that is so. Does anyone really think our founding fathers were any different than the “cheating” men of today? The truth is John had a message that nobody (corporations) wanted us (the little people) to hear. No, we are better served hearing about the sex lives of the rich and famous! I’ll put it right out there. I don’t care who is sleeping with who, what, when or wherever? I do care about who is picking my proverbial pocket and asking me, “Does that feel good?”
Any one out there might not like John but a lot of what he said holds true today.
And what about Obama taking a clue from Edwards? Is this possible? Could he use his executive powers to do this? I would like to see it happen. I think we all need to remember what was said during the 2008 election. We might not like the imperfect messenger, John Edwards, but let’s get back to basics and try to get congress and the President to remember what was discussed during the election.
If taking away the health care from Congress would get something done, we should all be screaming, “Do it!” More than likely though their corporate buddies would buy them new insurance. And in other news we have the credit card industry. For months I’ve been getting those little fine printed “exclamation of changes” to my credit card. You know the ones that say your credit card is going from 8.9% to 29.99 gazillion percent! Oh, congress has really pushed the credit card industry. They are really holding their feet to the fire now! Oh gasp, they have to find other ways to make money now. Yeah, immediately they raised everyones rates for no reason other than they could and put on many more ways to get a pound of flesh. Thank you congress and all of you that get money from the credit card industry. You may want to search through the years at Open Secrets. It doesn’t matter which party they’re in. Banks like them both!

I’ll end on a positive note about the news. The USA hockey team beat Canada and Bodie Miller got a gold! All is right with the world!
