What is all this BS over the Jackson Family?!?!?! Michael Jackson was a troubled talent. Personally I will go to my grave believing that he was a pedophile. And I know I am not alone on that. If one has enough money, justice can be subverted. All we heard before he died (at his own and Dr. Murray's hand) was how deeply in debt he was. Now all we hear about is how the Jackson family is at war over Michael's money! What money?!?!? And does America really give a damn about it? Do I really need to hear about what boils down to a family dispute? No!!!!! There are a few sick individuals who try to live through the sad state of affairs in the tabloids of the celebrities they idolize. That is all this is: TABLOID NEWS! The economy is within a hair's breath of another recession. Korea and Iran are unstable countries with NUCLEAR possibilities! Maybe the President cares about the Jackson Saga, he certainly doesn't give a damn about anything else! But this bullshit doesn't deserve national news attention. Intelligent folks in America are worried about foreclosure and jobs. Get a clue, America! No matter how Michael Jackson's estate is divvied up, no matter who gets the kids...it will not put food on your table. It will not help the millions of missing and exploited children in our country. HLN, ABC, and the rest: find something more relevant to report on for those of us who don't give a rat's ass about the Jackson family!!!!

The economy SUCKS!

We all know it. Some have a closer first hand look than others. Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly constantly berate those on disability and food stamps. It's not that MOST people want food stamps or disability. I'm sure most would like good health and a decent job. Personally, I do like to eat once in awhile. Obama hasn't helped the economy he inherited. Ol' W dropped a bundle on 2 wars and HE didn't even get Bin Laden. He was more interested in Saddam because, as he said himself, Saddam threatened his daddy. He sent our men and women into 2 wars that were morally and financially wrong. He wasn't watching Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac and we ALL got blindsided by the resulting collapse. AIG was partying big on taxpayer money while Wall Street was spiraling into a deep hole. But both White House residents were willing to pony up more money. Government offices have also had their hands in the cookie jar. I will never get to Hawaii. Will you? The people in my family on disability ARE really DISABLED!!! Surprise, surprise! Rent and every other living expense has gone up. I can't afford to fill up my used van because that little 20 gallon tank would STILL cost me roughly $75. And I DON"T HAVE IT! Well, I could fill it up....if I wanted to live in it. I've said it before and I will KEEP saying it until someone listens. If we paid our elected officials what they have determined is a "living wage" for us, took away their perks and cars and planes, this country would be operating in the black almost immediately. I have seen a politician worth $100 a week, much less $100 K a year. And why do they want any pay at all from the taxpayers? Most of them are wealthy already with offshore account, etc..

COMCAST SUCKS!

I get the internet so I can make a little change. I blog. I do surveys. Trust me...it doesn't qualify me as a 1 percenter! I make gas money to go look for real jobs. I make money to last until the food stamps come in. Don't judge me! The technical ex is on disability. After rent, car insurance, my scrips (since I am not on Medicaid and we have no insurance) and what the VA takes for the tech ex's meds, we have MAYBE $100 for gas. That gas is for job searches, doctor's appointments (and some of his are in West Virginia! We live in Maryland!,and the normal grocery runs.And, since he gets a disability check...which he is entitled to!...and he is a VET, hence the VA appointments!...our food assistance has been reduced by $144! He has high blood pressure, diabetes and has survived 2 strokes in 2007. Despite Sean Hannity and his crew,(Malkin and other vipers), and Bill O'Reilly,(who I have repeatedly said I like), we are still the pariahs of FOX News. Entitled?!?! We just want to live! I want to work but my expertise is Customer Service Call Centers. Most of them where moved to India and the like during the Bush administration. I have a great retail background but my teeth are really bad and no one thinks I should be the face of their company. Did ya NOT hear that I don't have INSURANCE?!?!?! And yet I am still not for Obamacare. I am less than impressed by Romney when it was discovered that he outsourced as a governor and a Bain Capital raider. COMCAST, who I hear owns NBC, will take our money but not fix our net connection. They could've fixed it properly when they installed it. They didn't, but they still took the installation fee. When it failed, they sent a tech who said he would not "crawl around in the rafters", but DISH Network hooked us up in May 2011 WITHOUT crawling around in the rafters. In March 2012 the net went down. The tech says its the fault of our cable and the landlord owns the cable, He did a quick fix. Now I must let every reader know that cable/net is NOT in my rent, so the landlord lets that up to us. On 6/21 the restaurant below my apartment DISCONNECTED my internet and connected his. He says COMCAST did it but the tech says he did it. We were without internet til 6/14. Today the net went out because the restaurant called in an outage. The tech disconnected US! When my son went down, we were reconnected and the tech had the gall to tell him that he would give him the cable and he could replace it in the crawlspace that we already know is not needed for a new connect! Is it any wonder the economy is trashed. OBAMA and ROMNEY are so disconnected that these businesses...and I use the word loosely...DON"T CARE! There was an old joke when I was a teen that went like this. A patient took a prescription to a pharmacist. He demanded to know what the doctor wrote because he couldn't understand it. The pharmacist glanced at the scrip and translated: I got mine, now you get yours. Is it any wonder we are in an economic plunge?

Nancy Grace is a MORON! She has never lived in Texas. I did. The man beaten to death had several east coast addresses. The man who killed him could invite him to the ranch but doesn't know the address for 911? The scenario could be that the dead man was running drugs for the killer and shorted him in money. Family members are going to vouch for the man. Flora could've also been hovering over the killer's wife but the daughter was a more believable victim. Who doesn't know where they are? The father couldn't give an address of HIS FATHER'S RANCH? The state of TX should pick up the charges of homicide, justifiable homicide and involuntary manslaughter. Let a JURY sort it out! People doing CPR is a perfect cover up for a perfect crime. I hope Texas picks it up, because the state of TEXAS does reserve the right to override a grand jury and has done so on many occasions. Get this moron Grace off the air before the network get sued for defamation. Flora HAS NO RECORD! My son was molested and his confession put the man away for 16 years...but he had a previous list of complaints that Dallas couldn't or wouldn't prosecute. Let her debate me, if she dares.

Sean Hannity is now officially the Chief Elder of the Brotherhood of Hypocritical Morons! No surprise there, huh? Fox News and the likes of Elisabeth Hasselbeck put down reality shows like "The Jersey Shore" but Bristol Palin's new show is a "docu-diary" or some such conservative bullshit. I am not a fan of reality TV. "Survivor" is a farce. "The Bachelor/Bachelorette" series, (an Elisabeth Hasselbeck must watch), is a direct affront to marriage/relationship in the USA. And Hannity objects to gay marriage? STRAIGHT MARRIAGE is a 50/50 proposition in this country. and with the likes of "The Bachelor/Bachelorette" series, it ain't gettin' any better. That show is all about a hook-up, much like Snookie, the Situation and the cast of "Jersey Shore". Bristol Palin would be on the wrong side of the tar brush if she was not Sarah Palin's daughter. I am the product of an unwed teen mom and in 1959 that was not something you sent through the TV. All these shows glorifying teen moms do not belong on TV. Parents need to TALK to their kids about sex. Abstinance does not work. Abortion was never meant to be a means of birth control. I didn't get pregnant until after I was married. And I certainly didn't subject my kids to growing up in front of TV camera. Grow up, Bristol. You are making money on the back of your son, Tripp. You are a role model for a bunch of young teens who think that they can do it if Bristol can. You are not a hardship case. Your family have the bucks that most of us do not. Do the best thing for Tripp and raise him OUT of the spotlight. And Sean Hannity? Shut up, hypocrite! And, for the record? I got married because the word gay was unspoken in my town. I am an out and proud lesbian with a strong friendship with the father of my sons. OOOPS! Better not say that too loud. Someone might want stick cameras in my house!

Has the country lost its Freaking MIND?!?!?!?

Yesterday I took aim at Fox News' continual bashing of Planned Parenthood via the phony baloney hidden camera exposes. I stand by that because I don't believe one can get a fair and balanced report from someone posing as pregnant and falsifying a scenario. But for the house to defeat a bill banning gender based abortions and the White House backing it up is a disgrace to this country! Are we heading toward China, where a girl baby can be killed simply because they impose a limit on children and people want boys to carry on for the family?!?!? The Democrats accuse the Republicans for starting and maintaining a war on women yet it is now okay to abort a fetus simply on the basis of gender? We are either heading toward China or becoming like the mythological race of women as portrayed in the old DC comic "Wonder Woman". Neither is acceptable for this country and, as a father of 2 daughters, I would expect...no...I would demand Barack Obama to speak up against this stupidity. I don't want Roe v Wade overturned. As a woman, I control my body and would expect to continue that control. But abortion was never meant to be a means of birth control much less gender selection. Birth control should be mandatory for all public assistance families who just keep having kids. The country can not afford to subsidize families who think it is okay to keep having kids and not be able to support them on their own. Media should stop glorifying overpopulation and irresponsibility by making TV shows based on the Duggars, Jon and Kate, the Octomom and even teen mother reality shows. If you can't afford it, you save for it or work hard to maintain it, but the out of control deficit surely isn't teaching the lessons that my parents taught me. My technical ex is not on disability because he wants to be, it is because he HAS to be. The EBT card is not something he wants but something he needs because the mothly disability doesn't cover everything necessary to keep a roof over the head, power on, etc.. Wake up, USA! The country needs to stop referring to entitlement spending and call it what it is...a living assistance. They just need to be stricter on the rules for getting it. If you are awaiting your 5th child...or the 30th like the guy recently locked up for not supporting his kids...and you have no job, you don't deserve squat. Assistance was always meant as a hand up, not a hand out.

Hannity's Fantasy

Fox News has jabbered on about Planned Parenthood for a long time. For the last two nights they they have been touting Lila Rose and her cronies for making up a story about wanting an abortion because the make believe baby was the wrong sex. This happened in Austin, TX! Rick Perry must be so proud! Of course they had their little hidden camera rolling and the PP employee DID go along with the story and was properly fired for it. But Twerp Hannity uses this farce proclaim that this is the norm. I have dealt with Planned Parenthood over the years and these trumped up crappy "caught on tape" stories are indeed NOT the norm. Thne he puts that lemon sucking, vindictive little witch, Michelle Malkin on to spray her venom about Michelle Obama. I am not a fan of the current President and his wife. I am SICK of seeing them on every TV show I turn on, knowing full well that the travel required is on the tax payers' dime. I confess...I like Disney, but I don't want to see Michelle Obama showing fawning little kids who aren't even old enough to vote how to eat. And Joy Behar might just as well got down on the floor at President and Mrs. Obama's feet and just gazed up adoringly during the whole show when they appeared on The View. Barbara Walters, too, and I expected more of a woman to prides herself on being a true journalist. C'mon. They are flesh and blood PEOPLE, not gods! I don't want the government telling me what to eat and when to eat it. If Mrs. Obama wants us to eat better then do something to cut out farm subsidies for corn and the like and try to bring down the cost of food over all. SHE might be able to afford arugula and organic carrots but the majority of Americans cannot. Both parties suck. In November it is just a matter of who sucks worse: Romney or Obama.
