Michael Jackson: good riddance

Michael Jackson was a pedophile and a druggie, and I think his music sucked. He was an adult black male who went under the knife countless times in an attempt to transform himself into a white woman. I'm not sorry this sick bastard is gone.

National Absence of Common Sense

National Geographic pulled out all the stops for April 2009. I was blamed for droughts, 'imperiled' frogs, and polar bears that 'may' and 'could' vanish. This is 100% Grade A horseshit writing:

The climate betrayed him.

To many, the erratic precipitation patterns bear the ominous imprint of a human-induced climate shift. Global warming is widely believed to have increased the frequency and severity of natural disasters like this drought.

The drought fell on Australia like a mallet, delivering a psychic blow for which the plucky land down under was not prepared.

Svalbard's wild survivors have figured out how to adapt to the high Arctic's darkness, its bitter cold, and its meager vegetation. But there's one force that has come at them too fast for evolutionary change: humans.

Amphibians evolved into 6,000 singular species as beautiful, diverse -- and imperiled -- as any on Earth.

How can any honest writer sit at their desk and produce such drivel? It's not only melodramatic in style, the content is very doubtful. Why doesn't National Geographic offer people some balance? How about a special edition to inform people how the planet has been warming since the last ice age began receding -- about 10,000 years ago? Why not describe how the planet's temperature has been rising and cooling for about a billion years -- with no human involvement? How about an article about the thousands and thousands of species that have gone extinct, and how life carries on quite well?

This past weekend I went out to the country and did some hiking. I picked up a handful of soil and examined it closely. What did I find? Nothing. The planet is not alive, and it's not called 'Gaia'. It's a lifeless ball of dirt. It has no pussy, folks. It's not feminine. We aren't custodians, we're owners. Fuck the radical left.

Vegetarianism = bad

Look what vegetarianism did to Hitler

HealthDay has an interesting story called "The Dark Side of Vegetarianism", which details all of the problems vegetarians suffer.

The study, in the April issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, found that twice as many teens and nearly double the number of young adults who had been vegetarians reported having used unhealthy means to control their weight, compared with those who had never been vegetarians. Those means included using diet pills , laxatives and diuretics and inducing vomiting to control weight.

Hussein on stage in Europe

President Hussein is in Europe to explain to our Old World buddies that when you're massively in debt and have no money to spend, the correct answer is to spend unprecedented amounts of money. What a dumbass this guy is! Maybe the Euro-pee-ans don't know that a financial crisis is the perfect cover to move towards communism?

Mexico's problems are our fault

The most common lefty trick in the book is to automatically blame the US for the world's problems. We've been hearing that crap for decades now. They're at it again with the "renewed interest" in Mexican violence. I guess I never realized this, but, according to NPR and NYTimes, the violence down there is MY FAULT! Who knew?!

It seems that the ease in which guns can be obtained in the US is causing all the violence in Ole Mehico. Dag nabbit! There are only occasional, random checks of vehicles traveling into Mexico, so the guns are being smuggled in from here. This last part is true; I've been to Mexico many times, and I've never seen anyone stopped on the way in.

Only a real dumbass would miss what's happening here: NPR and the Times are doing their part to help Hussein push gun control in the US.

I'd like to offer a couple of observations:

1) As Jefferson told us, we won't need the 2nd Amendment until someone tries to take it away. The liberals should keep this in mind before tinkering with guaranteed rights.

2) Because the US has taken on the burden of stopping the drugs and illegal aliens from entering our country, Mexico can assume responsibility for any contraband entering its country. If Mexicans don't want to play fair, they can fuck themselves with burritos.

3) Mexico is a diseased cesspool that tries to blame its problems on others. Perhaps if the people and their corrupt little government would try being capitalist, or at least centrist, instead of socialist, then perhaps they'd join the world's prosperous and peaceful countries.

Public Marxist Radio pushes Hussein's agenda

I've been listening to National Marxist Radio lately, and I'm amused to hear that they're aggressively pushing the Kenyan Marxist's agenda. Twice in the last 10 days NPR has done in-depth stories from Iran. The first was some research study that concluded drinking hot liquids increases the risk of cancer. The other, run today, was about the smog problem in Tehran.

One memorable line from the smog story: "Because gas is so inexpensive, there's no incentive not to drive." Spoken like a true Marxist!

The purpose of these human interest stories is to "humanize" Iran. NPR -- either under orders from Hussein or because they automatically fall in with a fellow Marxist -- is showing the human side of Iran. I wonder why they focus on these kinds of stories, instead of 1) stoning deaths of unwed mothers, 2) hanging gays, 3) illegal quest for nuclear weapons, 4) supplying militants who kill American soldiers in Iraq, 5) honor killings, 6) the 12-year-old marrying age for girls...

Hussein's strategy is to talk to the Iranians. He gave a mumbling, stuttering speech about the previous policy of the stick failing to yield results, so now we'll try the carrot. Strange that it has not occurred to our little, inexperienced president that talking to people who believe committing mass murder and suicide is a ticket to heaven, complete with 72 virgins, is a waste of time. Folks from the 8th century understand only one thing (hint: they're dropped from B2's).

Hussein to be sworn in

"Uh hope, uh change"

Hussein will be the first president elected as payment of a perceived debt, instead of for leadership qualities. America will not be swearing in a president this week, we'll be paying reparations.

+ Why did Hussein take the same train ride as Lincoln?
+ Why am I seeing nothing on TV except Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, and Woolworths?
+ Why is there almost no coverage of what Hussein will do, except to stutter, "Hope and change"?

Liberalism (a.k.a. socialism or communism) has really done it this time. Their desire to show the world and themselves that America is no longer racist has overpowered the basic need for good leadership in Washington. This is psychotic behavior.

After the swearing-in, the debt to African Americans will be paid in full, with interest. Let's get through four years of this ill-conceived social experiment, then get back to business in four years.

Breaking down the Obama mythology: For liberal eyes only

Because I love liberals I'm going to clear up some popular myths about your god.

1. Barack Hussein Obama can't really walk on water. This was meant tongue-in-cheek. He sinks like the rest of us, unless he's wearing water wings.

2. Hussein is half white. This diminishes his status as an absolute underdog. Sorry, Libs! You may have to look for an even weaker candidate to support.

3. When Hussein said in Berlin, "The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand," he revealed himself as the full-blown communist he is. Commies don't believe in nationalism, and wish to redistribute wealth from those who have it to those who don't -- and so does Hussein!

You libs should stop calling yourself liberal. Earthworms have more in common with classical liberalism than you. Choose a more accurate word to describe your worldview: communist.

4. Organizing communities may give you a nice, liberal hard-on, but this is hardly worthy experience for a president. If he's so good at "organizing communities," maybe he should stick with it.

5. Hussein doesn't really play in a platinum-selling rock band. This was foisted on the public by the fawning Soledad O'Brien on CNN and the aging hippies at the Huffington Communist Post.

6. Hussein's wife was not proud of the United States of America when we put a man on the moon, nor is she proud that we give away more money to the world's poor than most other nations combined. She was, however, proud of her country for the first time when her husband pulled ahead of Hillary Clinton in the opinion polls. You go, girl!

7. Hussein can't actually shoot lightning from his fingertips. That was a rumor started in the communist journal, The New York Times.

8. Hussein talks a nice piece about energy independence, but in reality he learned little about energy while organizing communities.

9. Even if Hussein becomes president, the Great Communist Utopia will not come about. This is a dream for you, but a nightmare for people who enjoy living free, and therefore it will never come to pass.

10. Taking one quick trip to Iraq isn't quite enough to prepare Hussein to conduct foreign policy for the richest, most powerful -- and influential -- country in the history of the world. I am really sorry to break this to you. I know you thought it might be okay after every liberal media employee in America followed him like a puppy dog on his publicity stunt and then made clear their own feelings -- that Obama understands foreign policy. Sadly he understands foreign policy about as well as any liberal: take the position that weakens America the most -- run away when a war isn't quick and easy, refuse drilling even when the economy is falling apart due to rising oil prices, and put more stock in making people happy than doing the right thing.

Still alive!

Did you think I was pushing up daisies? Think again! I'm pursuing a doctorate in my field, so I've been very busy. I will continue to offer battle to bad men (liberals, socialists, and communists) as time permits.

Poor Teddy

Conservation: bad leadership

I'm tired of elected officials telling me to conserve. We must all conserve, they say, water, fuel, and everything else. This is not leadership. Telling me to conserve is the same as telling me to hide in a corner. I expect my leaders to say: "We are developing energy sources that will allow you to continue to live a good life without worrying about harming the environment." Give me that, leaders, or STFU. I will keep on using as much water, gasoline, and other so-called precious natural resources as pleases me. If anyone doesn't like that, they can give me an alternative.

The other side of the Tibet issue

The Southwest United States will never be given back to Mexico. The separatists wearing their little Aztlan t-shirts can take them off, roll them up, and smoke 'em. The entire nation will never be returned to the Indians. Florida will never again be Spanish territory. I doubt if the UK will grant independence to Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. Will Mexico dissolve itself and revert to the days of Aztec and Mayan sovereignty? Will European Union nations disband and declare themselves territories of the Neanderthal?

China has an oppressive, communist (forgive the redundancy) government, and I'd like to see everyone boycott the Olympics. This does not, however, change how countries view their territories -- especially the pathetic governments like the Chicomms. It doesn't matter what Richard Gere says. We have to constantly remind ourselves that the world of our dreams is not the world we live in. Liberals are born with a gene that prevents this.

If anyone thinks demonstrations will impact the Chicomms on the Tibet issue, think about China's stance on the US supporting Taiwan's bid for independence -- they threatened to nuke Los Angeles. Even though a lot of people wouldn't mind that happening, it's probably not in our best interest.

Another loyal fan

An ancient post on His Medievalness, The Pope, angered an anonymous coward. Here's what the little man had to say:

Your posts are the some of the [sic] most ridiculous, unintelligible, inarticulate pieces of garbage I have ever read. Have fun angrily ranting about things you do not comprehend.

Little does Mr. Anonymous realize, this is exactly what I have been striving for all these years. It seems I made it to the top of my unpaid profession. I only wish he had had the courage to actually reveal his name, because I would like to thank him for noticing.

It is nice to be insulted yet again by someone who is anonymous as well as illiterate. These two qualities seem to go together. It's great when one of the Idiot Surfing Masses uses incorrect English to call somebody "unintelligible" and "inarticulate".

Beijing and Berlin: Olympics of Oppression

Bring on the mud

Am I the only one who loves mud-slinging during presidential elections? For a while there the love fest between Obama and Clinton was putting me off. That will change completely once the Dems have selected their favorite commie. It's not only presidential politics that are getting dicey. Spitzer just got caught with his hand in the pussy jar, and I rejoiced. I'm not Republican or conservative, but I'm absolutely anti-Liberal, so, when a righteous hypocrite like Spitzer can be brought down, I'm thrilled. Hussein Obama's pastor was great, too. The dumbass even used language similar to that of Ward Churchill: "the chickens are coming home." How can anybody get an audience when they believe the US is responsible for 911 or that the US government deliberately spread AIDS? It's unfathomable. Idiots like these shouldn't get a stage. People who hate the US so much should get the fuck out of here.

Iraq War on the 5th anniversary of the invasion

'Hip' writers making use of 'hipster'

Few things cause my eyes to roll back into my head like reading the word "hipster". Nobody uses this word in speech, and only stupid writing makes use of it. Its use is a dead giveaway that the writer wants us to think he's writing a cool, groovy story about cool, groovy youths, when he is really trying to convince us that he, the writer, is cool and groovy.

A search for "hipster" returned no less than 1,208 stories at The New York Times, and each, to a story, is dumb. Check out these excerpts:

The persona behind Mr. Murphy’s free-form singing is his theatrical incarnation of a late-’50s-to-early-’60s hipster who stubbornly goes his own way. [I can't think of a better way to tell the world a singer is a dumbass.]

When this jazz legend barks out “I Got Rhythm,” she turns this great Gershwin standard into a hipster’s credo. [Only a hipster would have a credo.]

...Amanda Blank, a nasty-mouthed M.C. from Philadelphia who is associated with the hipster male hip-hopper Spank Rock...

She is drawn to hipster clothing brands like Preen and Comme des Garçons... [What a moron.]

A few gun lockers remain, but now the place is just another hipster hangout. [This one is interesting. 'Hipster hangouts' are so common they're not even hip! So it must follow that the writer is hip for pointing it out!]

People who use "hipster" in writing are low forms of life, although not quite as low as movie critics. Perhaps worse than people who use the word are hipsters themselves, who Merriam Webster define as "a person who is unusually aware of and interested in new and unconventional patterns (as in jazz or fashion)." I'd like to get through the rest of my life without meeting anyone who is unusually aware of or interested in any unconventional patterns.

Shoot It: useless frog

The BBC tries to pull heartstrings with a piece about a frog that "communicates with other frogs by semaphore in the form of gentle hand waves." Gentle hand waves? The thing is probably stricken with indigestion and is motioning for a Pepcid.

Hilary Jeffkins added: "The whole species is now extinct in Panama - this was one of the last remaining populations. It's final wave was in our programme."

I almost cried until I remembered we were talking about a frog. Hmmmm. One type of frog is no longer found in Panama, and the BBC thinks we should mourn. No, thanks. As icing on this weird cake, the hyper-emotional final sentence has "It's" used incorrectly.

The story claims the frog is dying out because of a fungus. I'm surprised the BBC didn't try to pin the blame on global warming or George Bush. Surely this must be the first innocent, cute creature to vanish because of something other than capitalism?

Microsoft offers $44.6 billion for Yahoo

Microsoft has made another offer for Yahoo, and this time they're serious. From Fox Business:

The deal, which, at $31 a share represents a 62 percent premium on Yahoo shares, is an unsolicited offer, coming a year after Yahoo rejected a similar combination.

It would be one of the largest technology acquisitions ever, and certainly the largest for Microsoft, dwarfing the company's $6 billion deal for aQuantive last year.

I would LOVE to see Google step in with an offer for Yahoo. It would get really ugly and really cool, really fast. At a minimum Google will challenge on anti-trust grounds.

Three Myths of the US election campaign

It figures a German is needed to explain US politics. Gabor Steingart has written an interesting piece for Der Spiegel, about three myths of the presidential campaigning. The third myth he mentions is the myth of a divided nation, or rather that being divided is somehow bad.

Democracy thrives on differences of opinion, which translate into differences between parties. Promising to put an end to this ongoing dispute makes about as much sense as a supermarket manager announcing plans to combine the meat and produce departments -- and justifying his decision by saying that the management wants to overcome the decades-long polarization between steak-lovers and vegetarians.

Krauthammer on Clinton (Bubba)

Charles Krauthammer writes about Bill Clinton's legacy, or lack thereof, at RealClearPolitics:

By comparison, Clinton was a historical parenthesis. He can console himself -- with considerable justification -- that he simply drew the short straw in the chronological lottery: His time just happened to be the 1990s which, through no fault of his own, was the most inconsequential decade of the 20th century. His was the interval between the collapse of the Soviet Union on Dec. 26, 1991, and the return of history with a vengeance on Sept. 11, 2001.

This part explains Clinton's legacy perfectly:

Clinton is a narcissist but also smart and analytic enough to distinguish adulation from achievement.

Something to look forward to with a Clinton presidency

David Drake has an excellent story on Bush's State of the Union Address and imagined injustices. I'm responding to one paragraph: "Never in the eight years of the Clinton presidency did Conservatives or Republicans manifest the degree of hatred, anger and animosity that has been exhibited by Liberals and Progressives towards President Bush."

If Hillary Clinton becomes president, I'd like to see conservatives (and I'm not conservative) give Hillary the same treatment liberals gave Bush all these years.

Such as:

1. A Republican Speaker of the House should globetrot, meeting with enemies of the US and undermine US foreign policy, which will be set by President Clinton.

2. Top House and Senate Republicans should openly compare President Clinton's policies to those of Adolf Hitler.

3. Any troops involved in military action under President Clinton should be likened to baby killers (well, that should never happen, and never will from Republicans).

4. Any forceful statement against another nation -- such as warning a troublesome Middle Eastern nation not to sabre rattle, or shoot a few cruise missiles from a safe distance (a great liberal trick), Republicans should immediately denounce Clinton as a warmonger and apologize to France and Germany for our president's awful, divisive nature.

5. If the economy is strong under President Clinton, I fully expect Republicans to say how awful the economy is and that we're on the verge of financial collapse and that it has nothing to do with the fickle nature of markets and investment, and instead the impending collapse is 100% the fault of the sitting president.

6. If President Clinton serves two terms, the Great Ponzi Scheme known as Social Security may well implode. As President Clinton belatedly tries to fix the massive financial problem, Republicans should state, over and over again like parrots with jock itch, "There is no Social Security problem."

7. When President Clinton uses the powers she is granted by the federal constitution, by doing things like firing federal prosecutors (things presidents of both parties have been doing for decades), Republicans should denounce her as politiking the justice system to the detriment of the country.

8. Republicans should get involved in illegal land deals and take massive bribes, with the money stored in cash in a freezer, while the media completely ignores the misdeeds. Meanwhile, when a top Clinton official unwittingly gets in the middle of an alleged spy-outing case, where no actual law was broken and the key players turn out to be Class A liars, the official should be treated as a Class A felon and fed to the lions.

9. Constant jokes should be made in public about Hillary's lack of intellectual curiosity.

10. Republicans should grant interviews to overseas newspapers where they are routinely quoted as apologizing for our president.

11. Clinton's top political adviser should be depicted as the devil incarnate at every opportunity. Republicans should insinuate that this individual leads a global cabal that secretly rules the world and controls President Hillary Clinton like a puppet on strings.

12. When Clinton mis-speaks or stumbles on a word during her hundreds of speeches as president, conservatives should make fun of her, comparing her to a chimp.

13. If Hillary goes to war, Republicans should actively work to cause the US to lose the war, and provide aid and comfort to our enemies. Ah, well, once again this can never happen, and Republicans will never stoop to this level.

These points almost make voting for Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend's wife seem like a good idea.

Also, I wonder how many top government officials close to President Hillary Rodham Clinton will be found murdered or to have committed suicide under extremely weird circumstances? How many people will fall asleep on railroad tracks or get caught smuggling cocaine? I wonder how many top national secrets will be sold to North Korea? How many arch criminals will buy pardons from her at the end of her last term? Will she pimp out the Lincoln Bedroom? And, of course, we must ask, will Hillary get the Presidential Snatch licked by an intern in the oval office? Or will she leave Bill to get the First Pole waxed? (Even I think that's terribly crude, but if it's good for the goose, it's probably good for the gander, right?)

The new thinking of the Brits

Mark Steyn has written a story for The National Review that would be comical if it weren't so pathetic. He says the British government has decided to re-label "Islamic terrorism" as "anti-Islamic activity". I deliberately neglected to verify this because I don't want to believe it. Even though Britain is an island, I would have believed it too large to fit down the rabbit hole.

Killing thousands of people in Manhattan skyscrapers in the name of Islam does, among a certain narrow-minded type of person, give Islam a bad name, and thus could be said to be “anti-Islamic” — in the same way that the Luftwaffe raining down death and destruction on Londoners during the Blitz was an “anti-German activity.” But I don’t recall even Neville Chamberlain explaining, as if to a five-year-old, that there is nothing German about the wish to terrorize and invade, and that this is entirely at odds with the core German values of sitting around eating huge sausages in beer gardens while wearing lederhosen.

Steyn cuts to the chase:

The British home secretary would respond that not all moderate imams are as gung-ho to detonate moppets. Which is true. But, by insisting on re-labeling terrorism committed by Muslims in the name of Islam as “anti-Islamic activity,” Her Majesty’s government is engaging not merely in Orwellian Newspeak but in self-defeating Orwellian Newspeak. The broader message it sends is that ours is a weak culture so unconfident and insecure that if you bomb us and kill us our first urge is to find a way to flatter and apologize to you.

Precisely. And this:

Here’s another news item out of Britain this week: A new version of The Three Little Pigs was turned down for some “excellence in education” award on the grounds that “the use of pigs raises cultural issues” and, as a result, the judges “had concerns for the Asian community” — i.e., Muslims. Non-Muslim Asians — Hindus and Buddhists – have no “concerns” about anthropomorphized pigs.

This is now a recurring theme in British life. A while back, it was a local government council telling workers not to have knick-knacks on their desks representing Winnie-the-Pooh’s porcine sidekick, Piglet. As Martin Niemöller famously said, first they came for Piglet and I did not speak out because I was not a Disney character and, if I was, I’m more of an Eeyore. So then they came for the Three Little Pigs, and Babe, and by the time I realized my country had turned into a 24/7 Looney Tunes it was too late, because there was no Porky Pig to stammer “Th-th-th-that’s all, folks!” and bring the nightmare to an end.

I think they renamed "Green Eggs and Ham" to "Green Eggs and Hate Crime", too.

Daytime TV

Fans of daytime television

For the first time in years I watched a bit of daytime TV, and I can report to you that the entire lineup is designed for dunces.

Soaps: Zooming in before cutting away to another scene or a commercial -- WTF? If I'm ever elected president, I'll sign a presidential order forbidding soap opera directors from using their zoom controls. This is absurd.

Also, things have changed in one regard since I last watched a soap (1980s) -- the young female actresses have lip implants (or injections or whatever). This is HIDEOUS. I want to ralph when I see a woman with unnaturally bulging lips. It's rude and I can't watch. If I were married, and I THANK MY LUCKY STARS I'm not, and my wife announced she wanted lip implants, I would serve her with divorce papers immediately. What is the matter with these women?

Game shows: I watched a bit of The Price is Right with Drew Carry (sp?). Straight off, Drew is a stupid looking shitbag. Why is he on TV? And he's clearly bored off his ass.

The worst part of the show is the contrived, artificial joy -- the upbeat music, the crowd screeming with glee when the applause lights are on, and the ridiculous voice of the idiot who announces the contestants and product details. Anyone who watches this show otta be shot. Don't retirees, welfare mothers, and stay at home moms have any taste whatsoever?

The View: Elizabeth Hasselcunt is six years old. Seriously. If I had been listening, but not watching, I would have thought there were three women and a child having a conversation. While I was watching, Elizabeth said the group New Kids On The Block were her generation's Beatles. I think that speaks for itself.

The 700 Club: I can't believe a major network is running this. No real surprise it's Fox, the Christian Right network. Did you know that CBN was able to bring the Christian healing of Jesus Christ to millions of people worldwide? Atta boy, CBN.

The show had on a former "Vegas callgirl" who found Jesus. Strangely, after finding Jeebus she still looks exactly like a whore. Her hair style, huge circular earrings, and a tight shirt that shows off big boobs -- it's interesting that a whore can allegedly change her wicked ways and yet still want to present herself to the world as a whore.

"On the streets of Las Vegas...she not only sold her body, she nearly lost her soul." Oh, brother.

Why is this nonsense the only viable alternative to Liberalism in America?

The losses at Societe General

The French bank Societe General is blaming a rogue trader for losing over $7 billion. They say he circumvented security by stealing passwords and making unauthorized trades. Can you say "fall guy"? If any of this is true, I'm the Pope. The bank itself lost its ass and is pinning it on a single guy. IHT story here.

Canada, what the hell happened?

It's worth taking a look at what's happening with Ezra Levant in the frozen wastes of Canada. He published the Mohammed cartoons a couple of years ago, and he has been dragged before a "human rights commission" to answer for it. The charade begs the question: does Canada believe in free speech, or free speech only if it doesn't make anybody unhappy?

Here's an interesting story Levant wrote for the National Post. He examines the American press coverage of Barak Obama.

Gloria Steinem: women are No. 1 victims

America's favorite feminazi, Gloria Steinem, has used the New York Socialist Times to tell everyone that being a woman is more of a burden than being black.

That’s why the Iowa primary was following our historical pattern of making change. Black men were given the vote a half-century before women of any race were allowed to mark a ballot, and generally have ascended to positions of power, from the military to the boardroom, before any women (with the possible exception of obedient family members in the latter).

I'm a bigger victim than you!

So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one? The reasons are as pervasive as the air we breathe: because sexism is still confused with nature as racism once was; because anything that affects males is seen as more serious than anything that affects “only” the female half of the human race; because children are still raised mostly by women (to put it mildly) so men especially tend to feel they are regressing to childhood when dealing with a powerful woman; because racism stereotyped black men as more “masculine” for so long that some white men find their presence to be masculinity-affirming (as long as there aren’t too many of them); and because there is still no “right” way to be a woman in public power without being considered a you-know-what.

Long years of campaigning for hairy armpits and full bushes have done little for Gloria's sanity. I guess she doesn't know that women have come a long way.


And then she says:

I’m not advocating a competition for who has it toughest.

So why is she supporting Clinton?

I’m supporting Senator Clinton because like Senator Obama she has community organizing experience, but she also has more years in the Senate, an unprecedented eight years of on-the-job training in the White House, no masculinity to prove, the potential to tap a huge reservoir of this country’s talent by her example, and now even the courage to break the no-tears rule.

Community organizing experience -- well, that's a must for a president. I'm sure that will help in dealing with the Iranians and keep America safe from terrorism. Organizing a community will doubtless lead to sound economic polices, too. And Clinton broke the "no-tears rule." Gloria is too dense to see it was an act? Hillary hasn't uttered a word or taken any action in public that could even be mistaken for genuine.

Organized a lot of communities

The most pathetic aspect of Gloria's support for Hillary Clinton is that Hillary has a fighting chance of being our president solely because of her husband. As Monica Lewinsky and everyone else knows, Bill has a penis. That flies in the face of big bushes everywhere.

Nearly everyone I know is against Hillary, but not because of her gender. It is because she's a liar, a fraud, and a socialist.

Don't miss Gloria's new book:
