Insert Joe Wilson's YOU LIE here. Best of all? The left may have to spend a few more minutes coming up with their ridiculous defense because its Obama against Obama. When ACORN was called out for their illegal actions, Obama distanced himself from the organization. He acted as if he hardly knew who they were. In this video, Obama is caught on tape expressing his fondness and confirming the truth...that him and ACORN are BFF's...bet they have a matching friendship bracelet and all!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Shocker…Obama caught in yet another lie. At what point do the media hold him accountable for his dishonesty? There are times when politicians misrepresent a version of the truth (many times) and even while that should not be acceptable, it happens. Obama is in a different category all by himself. His chronic condition should be diagnosed as his lies are persistent with no sign of letting up. If not for the Internet and the age of YouTube which provide us with videos of Obama promises, campaign trail speeches, and interviews, I’m not so sure we would be able to convince others. He’s just that good!&lt;br /&gt;Often times we criticize politicians as a whole failing to recognize the ones that are fighting and laying it out on the line every day. Yes, there are good politicians, politicians who seemingly remain unaffected by the Washington illness which has been known to spread quickly among politicians and government employees here in Washington, DC. The most recognizable side effect being corruption and accompanied with deceitfulness. Though they may be few and far between and regrettably now is not the time to go through the list of the good guys (or gals), there are a few that I do admire and I feel comfortable recognizing without closer scrutiny (what can I say, I’m suspicious by nature and I cannot recognize a politician that I have not verified personally…just can’t). I would like to thank Rep Issa for his relentless pursuit of corruption even while having to deal with the repercussions that come about when questioning and/or calling out part of the large left machine called ACORN along with the union in which it conspires with. He continues to stand up for the foundation in which our country was built on. The same is true for Jim Demint, Michelle Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn, Marco Rubio, and a few others who refuse to quit fighting the good fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LFSY2dnTSZQ&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LFSY2dnTSZQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Umm...is this supposed to be news?

Then get off the clock! Why are our tax dollars being used to pay for your "free time"!&lt;br /&gt;Gibbs is probably the most annoying person in the admin though that’s a tough call so let’s just say he is def in the running for first place! He reminds me of that obnoxious kid from high school that you wanted to get away from you! He is not only gross but he is rude too. You can always count on Gibbs for three things...first, you can count on Gibbs to be lying. I wonder if he knows how to tell the truth? Hmm... &lt;br /&gt;Second, he won’t make sense. Some commentators like to say that he's unintelligent but I respectfully disagree. I think he is outsmarting everyone by sounding like a babbling idiot. He never answers any question and by the time he is finished, you're so exhausted and irritated by his ramble that you’d rather leave your question unanswered than have him go on for another second! Lastly, you can always count on Gibbs to be condescending! He has no respect for anyone. A press secretary is supposed to be the mouth piece of the administration; you want a friendly, intelligent, witty individual in that job. You want the American people to trust and respect that person as their word is very important. Gibbs is not that person! &lt;br /&gt;I wrote more than I initially intended but that needed to be said...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-367623939960370210?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/367623939960370210/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=367623939960370210' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/367623939960370210'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/367623939960370210'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2010/02/press-secretary-robert-gibbs-joins.html' title='Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Joins Twitter | Ew Why?'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-1326927652994151274</id><published>2010-02-10T00:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-10T00:49:03.137-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Economy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='B.Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Liberals'/><title type='text'>Video | "Nobody Messes With Joe" Or Do They?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;The Republican National Committee released a new video taking a look at President Obama's waste bill...err I mean 'Stimulus Bill' now that it has been in place for a year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;object width="340" height="285"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DLkoVux9nss&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x234900&amp;amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DLkoVux9nss&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It seems like people do mess with Joe...beginning with the President himself.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;This comes on the heels of a 2nd Stimulus proposal by the Democratic Party and President Obama, except this time, they've advised the left to refrain from using the word 'Stimulus'.

Nevverr…okay 1x or 2x.&lt;br /&gt;Haven’t gotten through it but let’s skip over the Reid comment, frankly because he makes me nauseous and smells, to address Clinton's comment with reference to Obama fetching coffee. Was Clinton's comment rude? Perhaps…is it offensive? Yes, if you are Obama and only if you're Obama. Otherwise, get the fudge over it. Its more of a personal slight towards Obama than anything else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Defending Clinton is not something I relish in doing but these people in the media (particularly on cable news show) who are dismissing Reid’s imbecilic racist statement while trying to bash Clinton and throw the racism book at him are perversely incorrect or just pure charlatans clinging so tightly onto their hidden agendas.&lt;br /&gt;Clinton spoke about Obama…Obama happens to be black and white…saying something rude about Obama doesn’t mean that it is in reference to his skin color. That doesn’t mean that people don’t make racist comments. For instance Harry Reid’s comment was pretty moronic and racist. But by attempting to decipher what Clinton meant by his comment, we begin to take on the role of the thought police. He said that Obama would have been getting his coffee a couple years ago. To me, that sounds like he was talking about his inexperience, his younger age, his thin resume, etc. After all, he’s not wrong, a few years ago, Obama was a nobody freshman Illinois Senator. To Clinton, this guy probably looked as if he were one of Clinton’s interns…wow I just fell into that didn’t I? (Well not one of those interns but you know what I mean...an intern not "an intern"...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Nonetheless, fetching coffee is not racist unless you infer that the person is fetching coffee because of their skin color. If we start beating Clinton up about this then it sets a dangerous precedent for the future. What are we allowed to say? Are we allowed to even joke around anymore? Can we be rude without being racist?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;What Harry Reid said was wrong, Clinton…rude, pompous, arrogant but I’m not in his head (nor would I want to be) to know what he meant by it and neither is anybody else. If you want to scold anyone, turn to Reid, if you’re over it (much like I am) then move on and write a blog about it or something.&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I’m not white so I’m totally allowed to write about matters of race. Got to love these exceptions right?

They want to pass this bill by any means necessary and deal with the repercussions later. This bill is so awful and the stooges are so corrupt that they have to pass it quickly without anyone reading it, no bi-partisan support, and what's even more concerning is the fact that they have to bribe their own party to vote for this horrendous bill.

He is urging nations to withdraw their ambassadors in objection to Iran’s brutal crackdown of peaceful protesters. In addition to requesting the removal of envoys, he has also written a letter to U.N Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon for investigation into human rights violations. (which means nothing as we know they are useless but the gesture is understandable&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;In an interview with The Associated Press, Pahlavi equated the climate of the unrest in his homeland with the "revolutionary atmosphere" that preceded the fall of his father from the Peacock Throne 30 years ago, when the monarchy was replaced by an Islamic republic.&lt;br /&gt;In the letter Pahlavi urged the U.N. chief to press Iran to release those arrested and act to "halt the intolerable and increasingly dangerous march of events." The letter was given to the AP Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;Pahlavi said that recalling ambassadors would be a "minimal but clear indication" by U.N. member states of their support for the rights of Iranian citizens and objections to violations of these rights by Iranian authorities.&lt;br /&gt;"This is not about me. I'm not here to advocate anything but ... freedom and democracy for the Iranian people at first and I've determined this as my unique mission in life."&lt;br /&gt;Still, he acknowledged that "I carry on my shoulders the historic weight of an institution that I may potentially represent."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I absolutely agree his with his contention regarding the retraction of ambassadors. In solidarity, the doors need to shut. Unlike the revolution that occurred 30 years ago, these embassies do not have to fear the demonstrators; the thugs are the ones in power, these people just want their rights back. As he stated, while the act may sound minimal, it sends a clear indication of disapproval to the regime along with support for basic human rights. Since the last revolution, the United States has not had an embassy in Iran but surely Canada, Great Britain, and Sweden (among others) can remove their ambassadors, can they not? If not for human rights, then certainly for our own defense, Obama should be meeting with our allies and making the same request as Pahlavi. During the same meeting, sanctions should be discussed and applied (obviously with the approval of congress).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I must apologize, how inappropriate of me to suggest the President take time off golf to tackle important issues.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Lest we not forget that Obama has been shunned by the mullahcracy once again as 2009 has passed along with Obama’s deadline for Iran.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-8549869844592173232?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/8549869844592173232/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=8549869844592173232' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8549869844592173232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8549869844592173232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/12/iran-protests-shahs-son-reza-pahlavi.html' title='Iran Protests | Shah&apos;s Son Reza Pahlavi Urges Nations to Withdraw Ambassadors'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-473247305913605148</id><published>2009-12-30T21:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-30T23:26:41.914-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rush Limbaugh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Liberals'/><title type='text'>Breaking | Rush Limbaugh Rushed to Hospital in Hawaii</title><content type='html'>Rush has been reportedly rushed to the hospital while vacationing in Honolulu, Hawaii.&lt;br /&gt;(video report via FoxNews below)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;via AP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;HONOLULU — Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh was taken to a hospital after suffering chest pains and was resting comfortably Wednesday, his radio program said in a statement. "Rush was admitted to and is resting comfortably in a Honolulu hospital today after suffering chest pains," the statement said. "Rush appreciates your prayers and well wishes and will keep you updated via rushlimbaugh.com and on his radio program."&lt;br /&gt;Kit Carson, Limbaugh's chief of staff, said he had no further information on Limbaugh's condition. &lt;/blockquote&gt;I hope Rush gets better, we need him to fight the good fight!&lt;br /&gt;As I was browsing different articles trying to obtain as much information as I could about Rush’s condition, I was disgusted by the lib-tard medias reports and bias. Without fail, almost every article includes garbage relating to his past which has no significance to this story. Even more disturbing were the comments posted by obvious left-wing-nutties.

Recognize that she has to be restrained regarding the amount of detail she can discuss as television has certain regulations in which she must abide. On the other hand, it’s nice to know that television has such regulations but apparently children don’t, 14 year olds are supposedly old enough to be introduced to sexually explicit lectures and instructions on methods to insert certain…(ah can’t even go further than that, it’s that bad!). Let’s just say that they are calling this scandal “fistgate”. Kevin Jennings needs to get…and quickly! As more information surfaces on his past endeavors, affiliations with organizations, or statements made referencing his ideology, it is non-negotiable; he needs to get to steppin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6yJ6ZOgbqvo&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x234900&amp;amp;color2=0x4e9e00"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6yJ6ZOgbqvo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The Washington Times had an editorial piece on Kevin Jennings appropriately titled&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/dec/09/obamas-risky-sex-czar/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; 'Obama's risky-sex czar'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;. They had to place &lt;strong&gt;a warning&lt;/strong&gt; before the article to caution its readers about the contents. Come on, when the Washington times has to place a disclaimer…ITS THAT FREAKIN BAD. Here's the disclaimer and portions of the article...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;WARNING: This editorial includes discussion of topics that are sexually graphic.&lt;br /&gt;Under usual circumstances, we would never entertain these subjects or the rancid language involved. In this case, however, a very unusual exception must be made because the issues are central to the background of a senior presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Education who is in a position to influence how and what our children are taught in our nation's schools. Thus far, out of fear or squeamishness, there has been public hesitance to examine closely the beliefs of this individual because many are afraid even to touch the risky content. Our scruples cannot be used against us when traditional moral precepts need to be defended. Simply, the deep level of depravity involved in this subject cannot be portrayed without providing a couple of examples to illustrate the inappropriate content. Please do not read any further if you will be offended by sexually graphic language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;They go on to reveal some disturbing information;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The Obama administration is stonewalling serious inquiries about sexual filth propagated by a senior presidential appointee who is responsible for promoting and implementing federal education policy. Democrats clearly are terrified of ruffling the feathers of their activist homosexual supporters, who are an influential part of the Democratic party's base. This scandal, however, is not merely about homosexual behavior; it is about promoting sex between children and adults - and it's time for President Obama to make clear that abetting such illegal perversion has no place in his administration.&lt;br /&gt;The conference discussions were very graphic and cannot be relayed in full detail in a family newspaper. A few examples are sufficient to describe the depravity of the subject matter. During one session about oral sex, a presenter asked the 14-year-old students: "Spit or swallow? Is it rude?" In another session, the 14-year-olds are taught about a gross practice called "fisting," in which "the man leading the discussion position[ed] his hand and show[ed] 14-year-olds how to insert their entire hand into the rectum of their sex partner."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;As the article points out in the conclusion, neither the administration nor Obama himself has come out answer questions. Concerned parents and citizens have a right to know what the heck is going on and why this administration would appoint a man with this background to this position.&lt;br /&gt;Are we being Punked?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-6937537588672870727?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/6937537588672870727/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=6937537588672870727' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/6937537588672870727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/6937537588672870727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/12/disturbing-kevin-jennings-school-czar.html' title='Disturbing | Kevin Jennings School Czar Needs to Go'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-8592404753631421352</id><published>2009-12-08T19:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-08T19:59:07.553-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='What The F'/><title type='text'>McCain | Where's the Transparency via C-SPAN?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Remember the numerous campaign promises on transparency from the President.

I’m not directly referring to flicking off people, though I’m sure that is quite popular as well. I was referencing the whole head itching flicking off movement, which has now occurred on numerous occasions. Each time, the act came upon hearing the name of a rival or a &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;fren&lt;/span&gt;-enemy.&lt;br /&gt;For most people, this is a subconscious gesture signifying the hatred/dislike/anger of the person doing it and the person whose name they are mentioning. This makes absolute sense considering the first time Obama did this it was upon hearing Hillary’s name, then McCain’s, and now mayor John Callahan who by the way was a supporter of his opponent Hillary Clinton. Each of us has our own expressions that we exhibit unintentionally and can really provide insight as to how we truly feel. &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Obama's&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;rhetoric&lt;/span&gt; is obviously pleasant because it has to be but body language says it all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Whether Obama is conscious of his little flip scratch thing, I can’t really say but I can tell you that his head was not itching. Take that to the bank…&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;jk&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;(Okay I just &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;rewatched&lt;/span&gt; it and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; so right!

April, a reporter with American Urban Radio, dared to question Gibbs about Social Secretary Desiree Rogers and the incident surrounding the state dinner. As the exchange progressed, Robert Gibbs had the nerve to compare her to his child who throws temper tantrums. He then recommended that she “calm down” and “take a deep breath”.(transcript of the whole exchange below the video)&lt;br /&gt;The President excluded, the White House Press Secretary is the 2nd most visible person within an administration. Obama's Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, has been probably one of the worst in recent years. He is delusional, confused, clueless (or portrays as such), even worse, he tends to be very confrontational. He speaks as if he is above everyone. You may ask a totally reasonable question, instead of answering or declining to answer, he thinks he's on a comedy stage and it’s 'The Gibbs Show'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://townhall.com/blog"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;TownHall &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2rKhbzJ8YeU&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x402061&amp;amp;color2=0x9461ca"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2rKhbzJ8YeU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;APRIL RYAN: Did she invite herself to the state dinner or was she a guest of, did the President invite her, or did she put her name on, no, that's a real question, do not fan at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ROBERT GIBBS: I, I, Jonathan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RYAN: I'm serious.

The interview is going to shown on ABC next Wednesday, 10 pm ET.&lt;br /&gt;Though he is the topic of conversation and attacked brutally by the media relentlessly, he manages to be quite successful. Beck is doing it big with two bestsellers on the NY Times List, his show on Fox News is num. 2, he is successful in his radio program, his ‘Bold Fresh Tour’ is sold out, and his stage show, “The Christmas Sweater – A Return To Redemption..LIVE!” which is playing in selective theaters around the country. Not to mention, he is the man responsible for outing Van Jones and other WH commie lovers like Anita Dunn.&lt;br /&gt;Whatever your thoughts are on Glenn Beck, he is indeed intriguing. His personality is unlike any other. What I enjoy most about him is that he doesn’t seek the approval of others which allows him to be forward and real. He will tell you what he thinks without reservation and you may or may not like his opinions but you should respect that rare quality. My only issue with Beck is his continuous bashing of the Republicans as if they are equivalent to the Democrats, I understand what he is inferring but when you have to choose between mediocre and awful (awful referring to Dems of course), you definitely want mediocre. The Republicans are not supporting the Crap &amp;amp; Tax bill or the devastating Health Crap Bill. That’s an enormous difference in my book and one to praise!&lt;br /&gt;Btw…Sarah Palin is also included in Wednesdays Barbara Walters Special.&lt;br /&gt;(Walters is a total lefty but she sure knows how to pull in viewers for her special!

Tonight, I am glad he mostly heeded that advice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;At long last, President Obama decided to give his military commanders much of what they need to accomplish their mission in Afghanistan. In the end, he decided to endorse a “surge” for Afghanistan, applying the counterinsurgency principles of “clear, hold and build” that worked so well in Iraq. Given that he opposed the surge in Iraq, it is even more welcome that he now supports a surge in Afghanistan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;This approach means, as Senator John McCain has noted, that “We now have an opportunity to build a bipartisan consensus in support of a vital national security priority: defeating Al-Qaeda and its violent extremist allies in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and ensuring that these countries never again serve as bases for terrorist attacks against America and our allies.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;We should be clear, however, that fewer troops mean assuming more risk. Talk of an exit date also risks sending the wrong message. We should be in Afghanistan to win, not to set a timetable for withdrawal that signals a lack of resolve to our friends, and lets our enemies believe they can wait us out. As long as we’re in to win, and as long as troop level decisions are based on conditions on the ground and the advice of our military commanders, I support President Obama’s decision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-6099159791241845341?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/6099159791241845341/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=6099159791241845341' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/6099159791241845341'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/6099159791241845341'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/12/palin-responds-to-obama-surge-speech.html' title='Palin Responds to Obama Surge Speech, &quot;Finally, A Decision&quot;'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-7713795780042124533</id><published>2009-12-01T19:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-01T20:30:21.414-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charles Krauthammer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='B.Obama'/><title type='text'>Obama's Afghan Speech; Krauthammer Breaks It Down</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Krauthammer, once again, puts it brilliantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="265"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/Ng8x78Bcpo4&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x234900&amp;amp;color2=0x4e9e00"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/Ng8x78Bcpo4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was the point of the speech...as always Obama contradicts Obama.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-7713795780042124533?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/7713795780042124533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=7713795780042124533' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7713795780042124533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7713795780042124533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/12/obamas-afghan-speech-krauthammer-breaks.html' title='Obama&apos;s Afghan Speech; Krauthammer Breaks It Down'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-7932964571361684721</id><published>2009-12-01T17:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-01T17:27:41.209-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='B.Obama'/><title type='text'>Obama's Afghan Surge Speech</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I'll expand on the whole speech later but I had to make a few comments...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The whole speech was "I...I...I...I...I", &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; so great, I did this, I am great because of this.

While I seem to be defending my stance with facts, the other side throws some crap at me about emotional nonsense. It’s not that I don’t care about feelings or I’m a cold person, its quite the opposite. The point is, you cannot base arguments on emotions, it’s utterly ridiculous and beyond that, passing laws or creating policies based on such emotions guarantee the formation of additional difficulty rather than solving the problem. Decisions based on emotions fail to consider the outcomes. Everything is a trade-off, solutions are essentially non-existent.

They are forced to hold on to the little money that they have and unlike this admin., not accrue additional debt from unnecessary spending. This is what is irritating about the whole situation, it's the blatant hypocrisy. We all have 'wants', yet we have learned to accept the current situation and understand the difference between wants and needs.&lt;br /&gt;It’s obvious that Obama does not care for history as he is repeating the devastating years of the Carter administration’s policies to the tenth degree.&lt;br /&gt;Unless things change (quickly), continuing on this current trend only prolongs the recession. Even more worrisome, their compulsive habit of printing money is doing nothing more than securing one thing…not confidence which our markets need, instead, it secures the probability of inflation occurring.

It’s not their first jab at Obama but the last time they took a swipe, it was from a left point of view. They poked fun at him for his lack of accomplishments when it came to the leftist polices he promised while campaigning. This time, it speaks for the discontent coming from the majority of the American people, left and right. I hope Obama and his team are getting the message. Yes this may be just a skit but as is true with all good comedy, it wouldn’t be funny unless there was truth to it. His poll numbers are low, people are unhappy and yet, he’d rather pass his idiotic healthcare bill and/or cap and tax bill.&lt;br /&gt;So, SNL opened with a C-SPAN press conference with Obama (played by Fred Armisen) and Chinese President Hu Jintao (played by Will Forte). The Chinese President grills Obama on his reckless policies about spending, he questions Obama and says (sarcastically of course), “To save money involve spending even more money”…&lt;br /&gt;Like I said, jokes are funny when they touch on a piece of reality. This one was based on the fact that during Obama’s trip to China he was basically ignored. Instead the Chinese (imagine that) lectured us (really Obama) on economic policy. They’re even worried about the size of his healthcare plan especially disconcerting in such a bad economy and double digit unemployment numbers. This skit touches on two key points (among many others). The first being that Obama has driven up our debt, continues to do so, and doesn’t really seem concerned which has caused uncertainty and fear. Secondly, Obama seems to have adopted this policy of weakness and this false sense that a weak, obedient, bowing President somehow is a plausible strategy. When has this ever worked? Why isn’t it working now? The Chinese didn’t seem to care and in fact, were even less receptive to Obama. The town hall which was supposed to be an unfiltered group of college students turned out to be filled with communist youth leaders. Additionally, China continuously refuses to get tough on Iran.&lt;br /&gt;BTW, because I don’t really watch CNN, does anyone know if they have started fact-checking this skit as they did with the last one (ha who fact checks a skit…what a joke. Like that’s a really loserish thing to do). Maybe AP has put 10 reporters on this as they did with Palin’s book?&lt;br /&gt;Seems like SNL is stepping in the right direction which is about a third of the way to reaching the frustration of the American people.&lt;br /&gt;This skit might just be an indication to the end of Obama’s honeymoon with his fans in the Press.&lt;br /&gt;As a final point, I would like to add that I found the whole bending over parts of the skit to be distasteful. Whatever my issues with is policies, he is our President and that was crude. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="512" height="296"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/embed/pnTeL-M9moMUs4tx90eXLA"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.hulu.com/embed/pnTeL-M9moMUs4tx90eXLA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="512" height="296"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-2230361041688161284?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/2230361041688161284/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=2230361041688161284' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/2230361041688161284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/2230361041688161284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/wow-snl-spoofs-obama-over-debt.html' title='WoW | SNL Spoofs Obama Over Debt'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-915915447014590424</id><published>2009-11-21T23:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-21T23:41:15.355-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Funny-ness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='B.Obama'/><title type='text'>Uber Funny | I GOTS A PEACE PRIZE</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;I forgot to post this video a few weeks ago.

David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager, has written his version of a tell-all book describing the 2008 election and the campaign trail. Personally, I don't think I would read the book but some interesting tid-bits have come out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Additional information about Edwards has once again been exposed by Plouffe. Why do I think that Edwards is not a big fan of Plouffe right now!&lt;br /&gt;According to Plouffe, former Presidential nominee John Edwards, made an attempt to cut a hush-hush sneaky deal with both his opponents. Edwards tried to offer his endorsement (as he was coming out of the race) in exchange for the Vice Presidential spot on the ticket. The book proclaims that the Edwards campaign presented their offer right before the South Carolina primary. In other words, his support was for sale as he would have gladly marched behind either Hillary or Barack, so long as they had given him the number 2 spot on the ticket. It goes on to say that Obama chose not to take any deals and received Edwards’ support anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;“This was the pitch: ‘Listen. It's clear unless the race is shaken up, Hillary is going to win. You guys might not even win South Carolina. What would shake the race up is John ending his campaign, but not simply to endorse another candidate. All things being equal, John prefers Barack. They should announce they are joining forces and will run as a ticket. Edwards can vouch for Obama with blue-collar and Southern whites and is running on a change message.’”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Plouffes account of his conversation with Obama regarding the Edwards offer;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;"Obama's answer was quick and firm: he would cut no deals."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Maybe I'm just suspicious but I wonder if their rejection of the offer had anything to do with Rielle? This whole discussion took place around the same time the rumors’ were coming out about Edwards having a mistress which was subsequently followed by the National Enquirer story exposing Edwards. As terrible as this may sound, it’s not uncommon for candidates or other people involved in certain political or policy matters to come to an agreement by negotiation. Not hard to imagine. The part of it the bothers me the most is the fact that above all, he knew that he would not be a good candidate for the position and yet, did that stop him from seeking the VP slot? As a matter of fact, with his name on any ballot, there was a possibility that it could be damaging to his running mate and the Democratic Party at large. Whether or not certain staff members knew of his affair with Rielle Hunter, he certainly did and at no time did his moral compass send off a little alert to advise him from running on any ballots. On top of that, there has been numerous stories covering the Edwards affair which revealed that certain staff members were aware of this affair and still went along with the campaign. As someone who has been involved in campaigns, I can’t imagine remaining with a candidate whom I did not believe in or someone who I didn’t find acceptable to fill that position for whatever reason but above all if he turned out to be a complete FRAUD! The people who are voting for him have a right to know what they are getting with this man. I worked on a campaign where the candidate, in my estimation, was not doing certain things that are expected of all candidates in the beginning. I told him straight up that I was not comfortable trying to round up volunteers or contributors to donate time and money until he did what he needed to do. I felt as if I was deceiving them or not being completely forthright. Because of these reasons and a few others, I eventually resigned from my position on that campaign as I found myself questioning his ability. I couldn’t with a good conscience get his man elected if I, myself, wasn’t completely convinced in his candidacy.&lt;br /&gt;This is why I also take issue with his staff as they displayed a severe lack in judgment. (I often have to remind myself that we are not all alike and just because I may not crave power and control; there are many others who do and work continuously towards this goal)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Could Edwards ever get elected again? I hope not!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-8106253654223931556?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/8106253654223931556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=8106253654223931556' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8106253654223931556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8106253654223931556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/gossip-john-edwards-tried-to-secure-vp.html' title='Gossip | John Edwards Tried to Secure the VP Position'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-3686114019091691112</id><published>2009-11-18T01:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T01:50:06.703-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='B.Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='What The F'/><title type='text'>Gaffe | Obama Bows Again To Hu Jintao</title><content type='html'>It starts around 1:00 on the video posted below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp; another one...&lt;br /&gt;This time in China to President Hu Jintao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would you not bow to royalty, say the Queen of England but go around in a bowing frenzy when etiquette does not require you to and certainly not if your President.

His toe touches give the impression of weakness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Mx3IlHuF1KE&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Mx3IlHuF1KE&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-3686114019091691112?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/3686114019091691112/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=3686114019091691112' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/3686114019091691112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/3686114019091691112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/gaffe-obama-bows-again-to-hu-jintao.html' title='Gaffe | Obama Bows Again To Hu Jintao'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-5243154385989726538</id><published>2009-11-17T23:03:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T01:25:33.243-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='O Administration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='What The F'/><title type='text'>Krauthammer Discusses the Obama Bow &amp; His "Narcissism"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Charles Krauthammer offered his analysis of the Obama bow, which now almost seems to be protocol instead of what I think most considered it to be the first time, a gaffe! I must say that Krauthammer’s assessments are always very informative. Most analysts will argue their views and based on the argument or even the day, they may or may not make a valuable addition to make to the argument. On the other hand, there are the few analysts or experts that should always be paid full attention to, one such analyst is Krauthammer!&lt;br /&gt;The photograph of the President bowing down to the Japanese emperor was indeed embarrassing. The fact is, if embarressment was the only issue then we’d still be humiliated, perplexed, and slightly worried as to why protocol has unexpectedly changed but it would not be a focal point of discussion (among all the other changes, not for the better). If the implications didn’t exceed past embarrassment, the issue would not garner as much attention as it has. Problem is, in international relations every gesture, movement, word becomes significant. Supplement this with the fact that the world is paying attention and that a foolish act, such as bowing, suggests weakness and it becomes a greater issue than just humiliation. Not to mention that proper etiquette in Japan suggests the bow itself to be improper and even perceived as "mean".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Question...and if anyone could provide an answer, I would really appreciate it...an admin. so concerned with staying on message, robotic in a sense, hardly going off teleprompter, etc., why would they do this? I expect that someone on his staff would have discussed his previous blunder the last time he bowed?

The apology tour began at 12:18 am eastern this time, not long before his speech began! He brought up the civil war, women’s suffrage, issues with immigrants being embraced, and “separate but not equal” treatment of African Americans.&lt;br /&gt;He also brought up himself as he always does! He made it clear that” someone like me” 50 years ago would have trouble even voting.&lt;br /&gt;Let me make this incredibly clear, I don’t want to pretend that our history never occurred…our history, the good and bad are real parts of the American story. I’m proud that we work hard to right the wrongs of our past and never do I want to forget our mistakes. We are doomed to repeat it otherwise. Moving on, we don’t have to have our President be the one to point out our biggest flaws, specifically while speaking in another country! It’s absolutely absurd. This is not the first time and I expect it will not be the last!&lt;br /&gt;Interesting that he did not bring up human rights! Well it was not surprising but it sure as heck is sad that we aren’t that beacon of light anymore for freedom seekers.&lt;br /&gt;…He shunned the Dalai Lama during his visit to D.C. and now he is once again bowing down, this time to China!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;During the Q&amp;amp;A segment, Obama now says the U.S. must be modest!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Psh...what would he know about modesty?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-500786174891054157?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/500786174891054157/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=500786174891054157' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/500786174891054157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/500786174891054157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/blah-obama-speech-in-shanghai.html' title='Blah | Obama Speech in Shanghai'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-1373765831558120470</id><published>2009-11-14T22:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-14T22:31:39.652-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iran Protests'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='B.Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Freedom'/><title type='text'>Iran | Protests Continue By Boycotting Football Match</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And the protests in Iran still go on…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a01Y_wYSOko&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a01Y_wYSOko&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people in Iran seem to have boycotted the Iranian soccer game in Tehran's Azadi Stadium. It has been estimated that only 100 people showed up even though the regime attempted to draw in more fans. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Iranians love their soccer, so the fact that the stadium is virtually empty speaks highly of the dissatisfaction with the regime! So take that you evil dictators!&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;If this is not evident of the resiliency of the Iranian people…I don’t know what is! If you’ll remember this past summer, droves of people in Iran came out in protest against the fraudulent election results. They are still going strong.&lt;br /&gt;Following the events in Iran, I'm blown away by the courageous Iranians that have been protesting the regime since June. The people’s protests against the mullah-cracy have been non-violent while the hard-line regime has responded by brutalizing, imprisoning, abusing, and torturing their own people. It’s truly sick and what makes the situation worse is the fact that Pres. Obama seems unconcerned even while the Iranian people have begged for him to speak up or fail to recognize the regime as they are not representative of the people. Instead, Obama has seemed eager to work with the brutal regime. Obama’s actions since the election amount to spitting in the face of the people of Iran who are begging for a taste of freedom. I am truly ashamed of the behavior of our government. We are supposed to be freedom supporters. He doesn't have to meddle if he doesn't feel that its an appropriate course of action, whatever , at this point I don't really care but I do care that you are meddling by supporting a brutal regime knowing that they appointed themselves without the approval of the people. Recently, during a protest, the people told Obama, you're either with us or with them...Obama must decide, what side does he want to align with...liberty or tyranny?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-1373765831558120470?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/1373765831558120470/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=1373765831558120470' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/1373765831558120470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/1373765831558120470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/iran-protests-continue-by-boycotting.html' title='Iran | Protests Continue By Boycotting Football Match'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-4386860399958290159</id><published>2009-11-11T22:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T00:10:41.431-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Facts Are'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Funny-ness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John Edwards'/><title type='text'>Tipped | Obama Campaign Leaked John Edwards $400 Haircut</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Quick! Think John Edwards...now tell me what’s the first thing you picture? His Hair?!!&lt;br /&gt;John Edwards’ campaign started shriveling away after his public hair embarrassment incident. Having already been dubbed the 'pretty boy', though I have no idea why but I guess you can’t figure out other peoples bizarre attractions, when this tidbit was leaked to Ben Smith at Politico, the story stuck as it validated the perception that already existed. Another reason the story hit his campaign pretty hard was because of his rhetoric and the foundation in which he chose to run on. His whole thing was the division between the rich and the poor as if it were a boxing match and he was cheering on the poor.  Well when you're getting $400 haircuts and you claim to be such an advocate of the poor, it kind of looks suspect. No, it really is suspect! At that point, you don't seem as if you're cheering the poor, instead it looks very much like you're using the poor...which the left does all the time but that's a lesson for a different day!&lt;br /&gt;Who tipped the media? Obama's campaign. David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, revealed in his new book that they were behind the leak. Surprising...not so much? Obama has always been the king of opposition research...after all he wouldn't have been elected to the Senate if he hadn't dug up dirt on his opponents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7kCAFkfFLQQ&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7kCAFkfFLQQ&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-4386860399958290159?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/4386860399958290159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=4386860399958290159' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/4386860399958290159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/4386860399958290159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/tipped-obama-campaign-leaked-john.html' title='Tipped | Obama Campaign Leaked John Edwards $400 Haircut'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-5911363522270254940</id><published>2009-11-11T21:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-11T22:25:51.298-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fox News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MSM Bias Reporting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lou Dobbs'/><title type='text'>Breaking | Lou Dobbs Leaves CNN</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Though we do not have any definitive answers as to why Lou Dobbs resigned from his position at CNN, I personally think he is sick of the B.S. reporting that has come out of there. His vague explanation for leaving gave me the impression that he was sick of having to worry about being offensive in his reports. When I say offensive, it means not catering to the Obama administration. Additionally, I think the reporting this week and the mainstream medias refusal to acknowledge facts and report honestly sent it over the edge. The news from CNN is watered down and I think Lou is sick of it...I really do. There has been several occasions in which Ive seen him call out people on his own network for misinformation or misrepresentation of facts, and rightfully so!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Hey, you never know...Lou Dobbs might just end up on Fox News or Fox Business? Its the top rated news network and they always draw in at least 2x more viewers than all the other networks. Recently, Fox hired John Stossel from ABC, who admitted to wanting to have more control and discretion over his reporting (basically ABC would frown upon his honest reports). They also hired Imus who used to be on MSNBC. If Roger Ailes and Lou Dobbs were in negotiation, it would not be surprising in the least!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;object height="295" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rR3TQN8ipiA&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rR3TQN8ipiA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;You know...I don't agree with Dobbs on everything but his show was actually one of the more tolerable ones on CNN!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;What do you think?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-5911363522270254940?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/5911363522270254940/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=5911363522270254940' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/5911363522270254940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/5911363522270254940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/breaking-lou-dobbs-leaves-cnn.html' title='Breaking | Lou Dobbs Leaves CNN'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-7781797605396885490</id><published>2009-11-09T22:33:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-09T23:47:38.523-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Carrie Prejean'/><title type='text'>Carrie Prejean Sex Tape | Go Away</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Let me make something clear as the title of this post may cause a bit of confusion. Its not that I dislike the girl or disagree with her. No one can deny the fact that Carrie Prejean was harassed and wrongly bullied by the pageant judge, Perez ‘ahole’ Hilton, along with many others on the left. They attacked her because of her personal opinion and that should not be acceptable in our country! I supported her right after the fallout and though attractive conservative women should expect this treatment, it was still baffling to witness the vengeance with which they went after this young girl. That being said…just go away Carrie, please do yourself and us a favor.&lt;br /&gt;Let’s be honest, her answer at the pageant was not the most articulate. In a previous post made on this subject, I wrote that I understood why her answer would come out a little awkward as she very well could have been nervous knowing that her answer would be controversial, specifically while responding to an openly gay judge. Again, I thought the question itself was inappropriate and the judges’ reaction was inexcusable. So she went on to make appearances and then made more appearances…blah blah. It was way too much. I also found her to be speaking off talking points as if this is the message her publicist gave her so she would repeat the same lines over and over without being able to offer real substance. On the other hand, I did think that she made a good role model for those young girls, especially conservative girls who are afraid to go against their friends views and stand up for what they believe in or what they believe to be right. I’m around Carries age and even now it’s hard for me to be completely blunt about my positions or how I feel about Bush or Cheney because I know what lies ahead of me if I dare express my views. For me, it’s not that I’m scared because I can speak up and I can go at it with the best of them if necessary, it’s just that I don’t feel like dealing with the hostility all the time. In that sense, I am glad that Carrie went around speaking up and letting everyone know that it’s okay to speak up and though the left was beating her up, she was still okay.&lt;br /&gt;That being said, when the topless photos came out…it changed things slightly. I’m not trying to be a hypocrite because we all have some kind of stupid stories from our teens and twenties (hopefully not naked pictures); I just think that her role model status becomes a bit tarnished. She came out and apologized, said that she didn’t know the photographer snapped these in between the real photo shoot where she was covered. Do I take her story as truth? I don’t really care…We’re all allowed a few stupid mistakes so long as it doesn’t harm anyone else. So we moved on.&lt;br /&gt;Today we found out that TMZ has uncovered a sex tape of Carrie Prejean from a few years back. Apparently Carrie sent a video of…umm…herself with herself to her ex-boyfriend. I acknowledge that this must be difficult for her; I can’t really say that I have empathy for her situation. Can you feel sorry for someone who sends a sex tape to a boyfriend or do you think they should’ve known better? On the same day she’s releasing a book about the pageant incident and how she is still standing after or something like that…who knows?&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so if you knew that a video like this exists and people were out to get dirt on you, wouldn’t you hold off writing a book? I’m kind of torn on this as I don’t think that her past has anything to do with her treatment and questioning during the pageant or afterwards but on the same note, whether you admit it or not, we all judge each other and this sheds a different light on her or speaks about her values. She came on Hannity tonight taking full responsibility…yadda yadda yadda but once again, I know talking points when I hear them and it definitely seemed like she was given advice on how to handle and approach this topic when interviewed. She is hoping to get in front of the story. It’s obvious that her lawyer or publicist (whoever she has advising her on media relations) told her that Americans like when people apologize as they are forgiving people so long as someone admits to the mistake.&lt;br /&gt;I’m sorry but I don’t find her to be genuine and I can’t pinpoint the exact reason…&lt;br /&gt;So maybe I should change the title of this post because I am on the fence about this…I’m not sure anymore! What do you think? Should she just go away or are you glad that she is speaking up?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-7781797605396885490?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/7781797605396885490/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=7781797605396885490' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7781797605396885490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7781797605396885490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/carrie-prejean-sex-tape-go-away.html' title='Carrie Prejean Sex Tape | Go Away'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-1315417845294257952</id><published>2009-11-08T23:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-09T00:42:42.508-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Healthcare Crazy-ness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Congress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='You LIE'/><title type='text'>“Why Criminalize Those Who Want to Opt-Out?” of the Healthcare Bill Asks Rep. Roskam</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Illinois) posed a truly outstanding question for those in support of this healthcrap bill. If the bill is so great then why do you have to force Americans to join? As Rep. Roskam questions, why criminalize those who choose to opt-out? Better yet, why aren’t those same public servants (well they’re supposed to be public servants, instead its become apparent that many of them, not all, but a lot our elected officials regard themselves to be of a higher class much like monarchs) signing up for this plan themselves. Once again, if this plan is soo great then why arent they jumping at the opportunity to be on it! Yeah, that'll be the day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;This health-crap bill not only ensures an increase in our taxes but now our tax dollars are going to be spent arresting Americans who refuse to sign up. How much more ridiculous does this have to get for the other half to get out of their fantasy world and realize that this bill chips away at our freedom. Is it worth it to trade freedom and individualism for promises that realistically cannot be kept? Sadly, the bill passed the House 220-215 this past Saturday. Amazingly, even with a democratic majority, the bill narrowly passed though at this point, what matters is not the numbers but rather the fact that the bill passed in general. They are taking Americans, a more accurate description would be dragging Americans, while they are kicking and screaming in opposition, down the road of socialism. Its actually a bit like kidnapping if you think about it…the majority of Americans, about 72% according to a CNN poll, oppose this particular bill and yet the Democrats, much like the mullahcracy in Iran, turn their noses at the citizens and go on their business. After all, (in their opinion) they know what’s best for us even if we refuse to accept it.&lt;br /&gt;Via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://townhall.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;townhall &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5FWQNhsmLTU&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5FWQNhsmLTU&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-1315417845294257952?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/1315417845294257952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=1315417845294257952' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/1315417845294257952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/1315417845294257952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/why-criminalize-those-who-want-to-opt.html' title='“Why Criminalize Those Who Want to Opt-Out?” of the Healthcare Bill Asks Rep.

Well apparently Shannon had made several attempts to speak with the other candidate and get an interview but they were continuously declining the offer which Shep would have known if he had done a little bit of homework. Some say Shep’s comment was obvious sarcasm, but of course the left would use any opportunity to throw something back at Fox News. Personally I can’t say that I like Shep’s reporting! I find him to be arrogant and annoying. I also found his off handed remark, sarcasm or not, to have belittled the journalist who was giving the report at that time. You could tell that Shannon Bream was taken aback. Fair and Balanced means allowing both candidates the same opportunity but letting them choose if they would like to use it or not. You can’t can one interview in the garbage because the other candidate doesn’t want to participate. Shep was totally out of line and though Neil Cavuto failed to mention his name, it’s quite obvious that this is being directed at that particular comment and incident.&lt;br /&gt;After another report by Shannon Bream, Neil Cavuto, as clear as possible so even Shep could understand, explained to viewers what “Fair &amp;amp; Balance” really means and why Fox News is both!&lt;br /&gt;I must say, Cavuto is uh-mazing!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Erdo8NbNqpU&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Erdo8NbNqpU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-5890667013595119200?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/5890667013595119200/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=5890667013595119200' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/5890667013595119200'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/5890667013595119200'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/11/cavuto-explains-fair-balanced-to-shep.html' title='Cavuto Explains &apos;Fair &amp; Balanced&apos; To Shep Smith'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-2977219486388255515</id><published>2009-11-02T18:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-02T19:48:44.101-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Healthcare Crazy-ness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mike Pence'/><title type='text'>This Is Your Moment | Message From Congressman Mike Pence</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;“This is your moment, now is your time, let your voice be heard.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The video posted below was released by Congressman Mike Pence who is urging all Americans to take a stand and speak up against this Pelosi Health-crap takeover bill, which by the way is rumored to get a vote on Friday.

The district is a pretty conservative district and there should be absolutely no reason why we would lose it, oh except for the candidate running as a “republican” happens to be further left than the democrat running for this seat. This lady is absurd and if I didn’t know any better, I would say that this is no mistake. For some reason, this to me seems as an intentional placement to have a far left-liberal win in a conservative district by simply removing the ‘D’ and replacing it with an ‘R’. By the way, the frauds name is Dede Scofaazza-whatever. This acorn loving, union hugging, far-left candidate needs to go running back to her friends on the left because we don’t want her! Well thanks to Doug Hoffman, who has now received national press (due to this dilemma); the people in NY-23 have an ACTUAL conservative to vote for. This is race is now a 3-way one with Doug Hoffman running as a conservative, not just in values but also in name.&lt;br /&gt;We also need to applaud conservative pundits and politicians who have stepped it up and endorsed Hoffman. He has a very good chance to win and the polls are actually closing in as people are paying more attention.&lt;br /&gt;Now I’m hoping that Dede drops out but because I don’t think that I can count on that, I’m glad that Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, Fred &amp;amp; Geri Thompson, and many other have stood up and spoken out.&lt;br /&gt;To the republican establishment that thought they could get away with this..ha ha! (Yes, I realize that’s a bit childish but deserved)&lt;br /&gt;Here’s Fred Thompson’s ad supporting Hoffman!

During this particular debate format, candidates are given an opportunity to ask a question of their opponent. Ken Cuccinelli went first and asked Shannon to name each division of the AG’s office and explain what each does. If you are running for a specific position and asking your constituents to trust you, the least you could do is to research your would-be responsibilities and duties in that job. It would be one thing if you attempted to answer the question but the fact that Democratic candidate, Steve Shannon, avoided the topic all together shows his inability to properly prepare for such a position. Shannon always regurgitates the same message to the media having to do with Ken needing on the job training (which is absolutely ridiculous since Ken has experience as an attorney, small business owner, and on the legislature). Seems like Shannon doesn’t even know what the job entails! What’s that about on the job training Mr. Shannon? Yeah, try again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yQj6FavCF2I&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yQj6FavCF2I&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve met Ken Cuccinelli and I can personally tell you that he is a genuinely good guy who really cares about Virginia.

Just tell me why? Who would want one? Honestly, I wouldn't want one even if it were handed to me for free! I don't mean to be rude but I don't understand why?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I don't idolize my leaders, they serve during their term and then they are out. I love my country and I respect the office of Presidency...Ill never idolize a President. Even if I were to get all gushy over an elected official, it definitely would be someone who would deserve to be gushed over...hmm perhaps someone who fought for our country and loves and respects our country? If any couple deserves action figures it would be the McCain's. John served the military, was held captive for years while his wife Cindy has devoted her life to charity and helping the poor. Whatever my thoughts are about McCain's views, if anyone deserves to have an action figure...it would be him.&lt;br /&gt;The same company that created the Barack Obama action figure, Jailbreak Toys, designed the Michelle Obama action figure. The company believes that Michelle will do even better than the Barack action figure which sold about 200,000. Like I said before, I don't understand why anyone would want this but then again, Obama-mania is an illness and being obsessed with all things Obama is one of the prevalent symptoms.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The company goes as far as to point out her oh-so-tone arms because we all haven't heard enough about them...I'm sorry but get a cardigan already!

The video posted below is 9 minutes of pure bull from the WH administration bitching about Fox News' coverage of the President. As you know, the first amendment is no longer in play; no one is allowed to report facts.&lt;br /&gt;As you can imagine, CNN is on the WH ‘nice list’ unlike Fox News who is on the ‘naughty list’, who would of thought the President and Santa have something in common (bad joke...in case you didn’t get it, they have the lists in common…ha ha). After all, they are the network that fact checked the SNL spoof on Obama! Take note, how to get on the good side of this administration…display your willingness to promote the President and administration, even though you may be risking credibility and public embarrassment. Example… a major network fact checking a comedy routine. In their defense, maybe they didn’t know it was a parody?&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, do they think that crying about unfavorable coverage will cause the public to sympathize with them? Someone should advise them to halt any future whining sessions. I pity anyone who has to hear this lady daily, talk about irritating! I don’t mean to be unkind but I want my 9 minutes back.&lt;br /&gt;Question...were any of these people present or paying attention to the news in the past few years? Compare Bush's treatment to Obama’s and you will notice the incredible difference in coverage. Most of the media is in love with Obama while the coverage of Bush was hostile and disrespectful. The things that were said and done to him were an absolute embarrassment to the journalistic profession. It’s interesting that the same people who are crying foul now are those very same people who not only did not support Bush during the war, they were vicious and nasty. In some respects, I am happy that it happened because anytime these people want to whine to CNN or some other left-leaning news organization, I just think back to the treatment of the previous administration. Since the word ‘fair’ is thrown around by the left constantly, let’s be ‘fair’ and give Obama as much respect as was given to Bush. Though that would be fair, thankfully, we are not as disrespectful as the left. That being said, I don’t care if the President is a Republican or Democrat, I have every right to disagree with his policies and can choose not to support his plans! Furthermore, doing so does not make me racist so don’t pull that bullshit with me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1AEt180Wnls&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1AEt180Wnls&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the clip she admits to punishing Chris Wallace by skipping his show on the Presidents healthcare tour. On a totally different note, Britney Spears is trying to catch up to the President number of tours! Seriously, this guy is played out and it hasn’t even been a year yet.&lt;br /&gt;The grab for state-run media is in full swing. Get ready folks…it begins with this, first they punish any dissent, then net neutrality which is socialism for the internet (which by the way has also begun), and last but not least…talk radio with the unfairness doctrine. We elected someone from Chicago, the city with one of the worst records of political corruption and now we are experiencing the methods in which they use to defeat their opponents. They use their powers, influence, money, or whatever to take them out of the game. Got to love the Chicago way! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-7321870336113661262?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/7321870336113661262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=7321870336113661262' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7321870336113661262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7321870336113661262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/10/whiners-wh-wont-stop-crying-about-fox.html' title='Whiners | WH Wont Stop Crying About Fox News'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-9105535058450118129</id><published>2009-10-11T01:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-11T01:14:46.706-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SNL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Funny-ness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='B.Obama'/><title type='text'>SNL Mocks Obama Nobel Peace Prize Win</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Saturday Night Live spoofed Obama on his Nobel Peace Prize Award. &lt;em&gt;(video posted below)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;There isn't much to say on this one except for the Nobel peace prize obviously being used as a tool by the Norwegians to weigh in on our policies.

I was beginning to write about how SNL finally mocked the President after a long time of favorable coverage, even while they mocked other political figures, they pretty much steered clear of Obama. Having watched this CNN video below, I am in utter disbelief that a news program would fact-check a comedy routine! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;All this time that SNL has been doing political parodies from Bush to Reagan, both Clintons, Sarah Palin on numerous occasions, CNN has never done a fact check prior to this. Did they fact check the numerous Palin spoofs where her comments were clearly taken out of context? Considering the above facts, one can only assume that CNN must be racist! Isnt that what the other side would cry out if the tables were turned so it’s the only conclusion that I can come up with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may be wrong because I don’t have the same access CNN has to worldwide information but I’m pretty sure that there are important things happening around the world that need some light shed on. If they were that hungry to fill their news slot then I’m sure they could have covered something news-worthy, say the protests and fraud still going on in Iran…maybe?&lt;br /&gt;So CNN was already losing credibility but I’m afraid it’s declining at a faster rate than once thought!

Seriously, I tried to come up with a reason why she would tell this particular lie but I just couldn't because I don't understand it... except for it becoming a pattern from, not necessarily her or her husband (all the time), but this administration. I tried but what else can you say? The first lady told a fib.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;(video posted below)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;During her pitch to the committee, Michelle Obama said;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Some of my best memories are sitting on my dad’s lap, cheering on Olga and Nadia, Carl Lewis, and others for their brilliance and perfection.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Really? Wanna try again?&lt;br /&gt;Carl Lewis' first Olympic try was in 1984 which would make First Lady Michelle Obama 20 years old at that time. Unless she was still sitting on her fathers lap at 20 years old watching the games, which is doubtful, I think its safe to assume that the story is false. (insert Joe Wilson outburst here..."You Lie").&lt;br /&gt;It seems like the Obama’s have no problem with lying as long as it is useful at that given moment to serve their purpose. Obama himself has also recalled stories in the past, on the campaign trail specifically, that didn’t quite match up on the timeline. I’m not trying to pick on the Obama’s and its def not for any other reason that a lie is a lie and it has now been pointed out.

I never found him funny. If I was watching late night talk show, it was always Jay Leno. I didn’t care for him before and now I find David Letterman to be repulsive! The way this man goes after Sarah Palin almost weekly, not to mention her daughters is sick. This week, Letterman announced his involvement in a sex scandal and admitted to having sex with his staff. Well, Leno slapped Letterman around in his opening monologue on Friday. All in all, he hit Letterman 5x. &lt;em&gt;(video posted below)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Leno said; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;"Settle down. If you came here tonight for sex with a talk show host, you've got the wrong studio."&lt;br /&gt;…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;"I'm happy to say that I've never had a sexual relationship with any of my staff members."

Ugh…the very thought! Pardon me; I need a moment to swallow my food back down! I think this proves my theory to be correct as I’ve always said that Letterman’s personal obsession with Palin is a sexual one. I wish it weren’t true but I honestly have to say that I Think he wants her…bad! The problem is, Palin is way above his league and he knows that (oh, and the fact that she’s married and has morals, something Letterman clearly lacks). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Any way, mad props to Leno!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Just for fun...while Jay Leno and David Letterman were head-to-head on late night, Leno always had higher ratings. It is the first time that Letterman is doing better at that time slot because Leno is no longer there!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ugh Letterman…nasty!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-8298064676875063556?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/8298064676875063556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=8298064676875063556' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8298064676875063556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8298064676875063556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/10/jay-leno-makes-fun-of-letterman-scandal.html' title='Jay Leno Makes Fun Of Letterman Scandal | Rightly So'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-5350246714207972146</id><published>2009-10-02T23:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-03T02:01:34.669-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joe Biden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='You LIE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='O Administration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Economy'/><title type='text'>Ridiculous Analysis | Stimulus Working?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Anyone who claims that the stimulus is working just might be certifiably nuts.

The others on the program certainly don’t! You’ll notice the hosts, Francis and Kudlow, after hearing the outlandish statement, look at each other and laugh.&lt;br /&gt;Sure the Vice President made the same outrageous claim but that’s good ol' Joe...we know he is not a rational person. It’s understood that all his comments be ignored. Unfortunately, as an advisor to the POTUS, you’re supposed to have some credibility or at least pretend to if you’re going to be defending the administration on the news. Maybe next time, he could start with a lighter joke…one that’s not so funny seeing as how Americans are losing their jobs. Unemployment numbers came out today showing that unemployment is at a 26 year high…Still think the stimulus is working?&lt;br /&gt;You know, when the VP or even worse, the Presidents own economic advisor, make statements like this, it’s awfully offensive. This is the advisor of economic policy to the POTUS and if they think the country is in good shape and the stimulus worked then this administration and President are more off than I could have ever conceived. Is it stupidity or is it plain arrogance or maybe they just don’t care? It’s the era of “hope and change” folks. Half the country took the bait and now the whole country is paying for their naivety!&lt;br /&gt;This administration and democrats in congress need to forget about healthcare and fix the economy! I mean this is infuriating! Then again, how dare we bore the administration with real issues like this when he’s got better things to do…like make a plea on behalf of his corrupt cronies in Chicago to the Olympic committee! Which I may add…failed at that too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="364" width="450"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/eyeblast.swf?v=GdkUaGaG8z&amp;amp;c1=0xFC0263&amp;amp;c2=0xF007AE"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/eyeblast.swf?v=GdkUaGaG8z&amp;c1=0xFC0263&amp;c2=0xF007AE" allowfullscreen="true" width="450" height="364"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it going to take for them to pay attention…or is it just maybe exactly what they want? Rahm Emmanuel, chief of staff, proudly exclaimed that a good crisis should never go to waste! I hope this is not true but every day I’m moving closer to that conclusion until I’m given a reason not to…like a plan to fix the economy. This time, if they do present a plan, we hope they will take it seriously! We want a real proposal, one that has the ability to work! Instead of creating a so-called ‘stimulus’ bill and throwing money at your political allies as payback, lets present real ideas like lifting the burden on small businesses in order for them to hire more workers. Small businesses provide 2 out of every 3 jobs in our country. Why are the unions more important to the President than small businesses who should have been the focus of the original bill? I’m sure you can answer that question yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, we could suspend federal income taxes for 3-months so that the money goes directly into everyone’s pocket in order to “stimulate” the economy since that’s what a stimulus is supposed to do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://newsbusters.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;newsbusters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;, they correctly question the rationality;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Is this how the Obama-loving media are going to report today's terrible economic news: it would be worse without the stimulus package, and it will only get better if we pass healthcare reform?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;It is clear that this President has all his priorities screwed up! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-5350246714207972146?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/5350246714207972146/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=5350246714207972146' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/5350246714207972146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/5350246714207972146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/10/ridiculous-analysis-stimulus-working.html' title='Ridiculous Analysis | Stimulus Working?'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-6015574849999386080</id><published>2009-10-02T22:35:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-02T22:41:00.668-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Healthcare Crazy-ness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Funny-ness'/><title type='text'>Reality Check | PSA Mocking Overpaid Celebs</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;So funny yet so true!

I guess the committee didn’t want some of that "change".&lt;br /&gt;Wait...they didn’t bow down to 'the One'? Obama couldn’t convince them? I was sure that if the President made the trip to Copenhagen then in some back room deal, he had to have been told that Chicago would be chosen. Otherwise it not only makes the Presidency look small as he is dabbling in things beneath him, whats worse, it diminishes his effectiveness on the world stage. He looks weak. Others may try to diffuse this by stating that other leaders were also present and have gone in the past. As true as this may be, a United States President hasn’t and if we start trying to imitate other leaders then we wouldn’t be the most powerful country or the wealthiest either. Being the leader of the Free World is not the same as the King of Spain who was also in attendance or even their Prime Minister. With big roles come big responsibility and certain rules. Now if he had been successful, the blow wouldn’t be so bad. I would have still disagreed with the trip but if we were strictly dealing with public perception, it could be spun and your power would be left intact. With this...what’s the spin? The Leader of the Free World, the President of the United States, could not even get the Olympic committee to do something, how in the world is he going to convince rogue dictators to follow guidelines?&lt;br /&gt;Right now, I can bet, the other countries leaders are having a good chuckle and a "serves him right" moment as I’m sure those who have met him, like Sarkozy, cannot stand his arrogant attitude.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand...the benefit may be that Obama needs to come back down to earth and a couple of times hearing the answer "no" may not be that bad!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and the way, the 2016 Olympics are going to be in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-1900112468935405832?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/1900112468935405832/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=1900112468935405832' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/1900112468935405832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/1900112468935405832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/10/and-2016-olympics-goes-tonot-chicago.html' title='And The 2016 Olympics Goes To...Not Chicago'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-131198359389677451</id><published>2009-10-02T13:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-02T14:45:00.668-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marc Lamont Hill'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fox News'/><title type='text'>Fox News Contributor Marc Lamont Hill | Not So Shocked</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F0VXlSdKHXc/SsZxgAuyOPI/AAAAAAAAACc/XICSpa4KLQY/s1600-h/Marc-lamont-hill-fox-news-contributor.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388118798961359090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 223px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F0VXlSdKHXc/SsZxgAuyOPI/AAAAAAAAACc/XICSpa4KLQY/s320/Marc-lamont-hill-fox-news-contributor.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;So let me get this straight, its surprising to some that Fox News Contributor, Marc Lamont Hill, is pretty much racist? His animosity towards white people is evident in any of his rants defending the most irrational people and situations. Thanks to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;David Horowitz and Accuracy in Media, shocking information about Hill has been revealed and the public needs to be aware of who this so called "public intellectual" is! He is a sympathizer of the Fidel and the left...the EXTREME left! Read the article (link below)...the proof is clear, and his rhetoric/actions are inexcusable. He needs to be kicked to the curb! Marc Lamont Hill and Van Jones have a lot of beliefs in common which goes to show you how extreme they are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Hill wrote in his blog piece that the thought of Fidel being ill was scary for him.

Then again, if you consider the fact that these people probably have the title of journalist under their names on their business cards, you really shouldn't be alarmed. It just goes to show you how much they appreciate a good joke...calling themselves journalists is a very funny but scary joke!&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I doubt that its some big secret that politicians, pundits, writers, so called “journalist”, skew and slant polling, statistics, or any other data to fit their particular needs at that particular time. It is also commonplace that (though it’s unethical to do so) many cut out certain aspects of data, interviews, quotes, or whatever in order to make claims supporting their argument which, as I’m sure you'll agree, is deceitful and misleading.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;During some show, I cant exactly remember, a pundit or host included a misleading snippet of a part of Becks new book, “Arguing with Idiots”, he offers his list of people he thinks are the “Top Ten Bastards of All Time”. It’s not that the initial claim was false, all the people that were stated were indeed on the list. It was the fact that it was misleading to the viewers and though I am embarrassed to admit this, I too was fooled.&lt;br /&gt;Here is the story, the WHOLE story...the list includes expected bastards like Bernie Madoff, Keith Olbermann, Hitler, FDR, etc. Along with their names, there is a quick sentence as to why which is the part that was conveniently left out. This person stated that Tiger Woods was on the list and because of that fact, it was concluded that Glenn Beck was crazy. I foolishly didn’t look into it further and went along with that assessment as I too thought it was a bit odd that he would insult someone by putting them on a list with such awful people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Well I purchased the book today totally at random; I had no intention of getting it and had even forgotten about the whole discussion. While I was flipping through the pages what appeared before me…none other than the list! Yes, Tiger Woods is undeniably listed but you have to read Beck answer as to why… &lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;2. Tiger Woods – He’s got a Swedish-supermodel wife, a zillion dollars, and he plays golf for a living . . . bastard!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It was obviously a joke. The libs do remember what those are…right? Beck is not a journalist nor did he ever claim to be. He is a commentator who also happens to be a pretty funny. Even without knowing that, if you read the sentence right next to Woods’ name, unless you are a complete and utter idiot, you cannot make any other deduction than it being a JOKE. I know we can stretch many things Beck says and when done, he can sound nutty to some but to purposely try and deceive the public into thinking something by presenting a portion of the story is dishonest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;…I didn’t think I would write so much about this because it’s not that big of a deal but it just irritated me as soon as I saw the book…how irresponsible to not present the full statement when it’s something that can be deceptive if not presented in its entirety.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-6271883934737202276?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/6271883934737202276/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=6271883934737202276' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/6271883934737202276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/6271883934737202276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/10/usual-misleading-media-glenn-becks-new.html' title='The Usual Misleading Media | Glenn Becks New Book'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F0VXlSdKHXc/SsRnfIHXiKI/AAAAAAAAACU/bZCRyYA79JM/s72-c/glenn-beck-arguing-with-idiots.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-7456163086082644454</id><published>2009-09-25T05:35:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-25T05:42:20.372-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chris Wallace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Creigh Deeds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bob McDonnell'/><title type='text'>Chris Wallace | Creigh Deeds Refuses To Debate McDonnell</title><content type='html'>Up watching Fox &amp;amp; Friends morning show...Chris Wallace from Fox News Sunday has a segment every Friday where he gives us a preview to his Sunday show and announces his guests.

Wallace then went on to say that McDonnell gave about 10 dates where he would be free but Deeds declined the invitation even though all the polls show that Deeds is behind.&lt;br /&gt;Is it surprising as to why Deeds &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;wouldn't&lt;/span&gt; want o interview on National Television? &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Uhh&lt;/span&gt; probably not considering that he has done horrible in both debates thus far and as my previous post shows, he cant even figure out his own tax plan (because he doesnt have one)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Ill post the video clip or transcript as I get it)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-7456163086082644454?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/7456163086082644454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=7456163086082644454' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7456163086082644454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7456163086082644454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/09/chris-wallace-creigh-deeds-refuses-to.html' title='Chris Wallace | Creigh Deeds Refuses To Debate McDonnell'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-1398949525489168160</id><published>2009-09-22T16:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-22T16:53:30.259-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sen.

Dave Camp of Michigan, the top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee. He &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://republicans.waysandmeans.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=145980" target="'_"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#333333;"&gt;wrote &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#333333;"&gt;to CMS (the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services)today, requesting it to “immediately suspend the virtual gag order.”&lt;br /&gt;House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio also said CMS imposed a “gag order.” “It is outrageous that the Obama Administration is trying to keep seniors in the dark about the consequences of congressional Democrats’ costly government-run health care bills,” Boehner said in a statement. “Would the Administration impose this sort of gag order if seniors were being given information promoting the Obama health care plan?” Medicare Advantage plans, the private insurance plans offered under Medicare, the government program for the elderly and disabled, are targets for cuts in heath care overhaul legislation because they cost more, per beneficiary, than traditional Medicare.&lt;br /&gt;On Friday, CMS said it was examining whether Humana violated Medicare marketing rules or other federal laws, and asked the company to shut down a Website that helped beneficiaries generate letters to lawmakers opposing the cuts, and to stop sending letters to beneficiaries enlisting their support in the fight.&lt;br /&gt;The agency &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/media/press/release.asp?Counter=3522&amp;amp;intNumPerPage=10&amp;amp;checkDate=&amp;amp;checkKey=&amp;amp;srchType=1&amp;amp;numDays=3500&amp;amp;srchOpt=0&amp;amp;srchData=&amp;amp;keywordType=All&amp;amp;chkNewsType=1%2C+2%2C+3%2C+4%2C+5&amp;amp;intPage=&amp;amp;showAll=&amp;amp;pYear=&amp;amp;year=&amp;amp;desc=&amp;amp;cboOrder=date" target="'_"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#333333;"&gt;sent a letter &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#333333;"&gt;on Monday to all plans, warning them not to send letters about the proposed cuts and called the effort misleading to beneficiaries.&lt;br /&gt;The action came at the urging of Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who has proposed Medicare Advantage cuts that are estimated at $123 billion over 10 years as part of his health overhaul legislation.&lt;br /&gt;A spokesman said Humana has complied with CMS’s requests and is cooperating with the investigation, but it still believes beneficiaries “deserve to know the impact” of the proposed funding cuts. A spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, the industry trade group, also said “seniors have a right to know.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K6rY3rxb60k&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K6rY3rxb60k&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Hows hope and change going for you?

Actually, that is exactly why I’ve been on hiatus from campaigning! Can we say...stresssssfuulllll! It’s one of the hardest things you’ll ever do but if politics is something you enjoy and you want to be hands on then by all means, go for it!&lt;br /&gt;During the Democratic primaries in Virginia, Creigh Deeds virtually came out of nowhere. After winning the Washington Post endorsement and voila, he became the Dem nominee (for those who do not live in the DC/VA/MD area, the Washington post can play a heavy hand during elections which is most unfortunate).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;In the video below Deeds proves his lack of comprehension on taxes! Not only does it not make any sense, it shows how unprepared he is for such a demanding position. How bad is the gaffe below? In my opinion, it makes the whole '&lt;em&gt;I voted for it before I voted against it'&lt;/em&gt; response sound good!&lt;br /&gt;Deeds’ campaign lacks substantive information on specific plans and how he is going to go about implementing the promises made in campaign speeches and debates. While the Deeds campaign seems to have the support of the lib media (mainstream media), I don’t think they can continue to prop him up. He needs to step it up! The problem is, I just don’t know if that’s possible for him to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vE6d36a2gso&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vE6d36a2gso&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm…I wonder, has Wash Po called Deeds out for responding to the reporter, “young lady”, which was said in a condescending way?

It’s no coincidence that Obama plans to appear on all the Sunday shows except for Chris Wallace’s on Fox News. As we’ve learned so far, Obama’s administration is choreographed to the tee. Now we know why the administration has skipped Fox news besides the obvious being that they are afraid they’ll have to actually answer real questions (we know how dangerous that may be when Obama doesn’t have a teleprompter). Basically they intimidate the other networks through daily emails critiquing their every report or analysis. The other networks clearly cave into it while Fox and Chris Wallace refuse to be bullied.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EoNMvubV87M&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EoNMvubV87M&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I mean I knew they probably punished networks and shows that they felt were unfair to them (which are any reports that don’t praise them on a daily basis).

As is apparent in the video posted below, she’s more than a bit controlling. How many people would halt their press conference in order to call attention to a improper sneeze? Um? Where's the Sneeze Czar, we need to issue a citation!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt; What makes it even more comical is her screeching demand for Purel to be handed to him. Most people would probably just avoid shaking his hands (which I’m sure happens to Chuck Todd whether he sneezes or not) and move on. Her actions are not surprising considering she’s a liberal who feels the need to control others and tell them what to do! After all, they know what’s best.

Pelosi, the worst house speaker in American history, is not fighting back tears because she’s fearful of political violence; she’s fighting back her tears because she’s afraid of getting voted out of office due to her unpopularity. She’s starting to realize that her efforts at manipulating and plans to smear the American people (labeling protestors and opponents “Astroturf” among other things) failed and continues to fail miserably. People aren’t as stupid as she had hoped they would be and she has come to the realization that she may not remain House Speaker for very much longer. As you can imagine, this very thought makes her quite upset as is evident from the video posted below.&lt;br /&gt;I’m fighting tears too…tears of joy at the very thought of you and your cronies someday ousted out of my wonderful, historical city. More importantly, one can only hope that you’ll stay out of politics for good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;You are a fraud and there’s one more thing that I was going to write but it just slipped my mind…Oh yeah…&lt;strong&gt;YOU LIE&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DHel6GNCRqE&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DHel6GNCRqE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW...She meant left-wing violence (thats what she remembers from the 70s)!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-2830203588349767072?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/2830203588349767072/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=2830203588349767072' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/2830203588349767072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/2830203588349767072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/09/fakeness-house-speaker-almost-cries.html' title='Fakeness | House Speaker Almost Cries'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-5773353666526504593</id><published>2009-09-17T21:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-17T22:19:45.531-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MonKan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Random Thoughts'/><title type='text'>Random Thought...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ever felt like you were getting pushed and pulled at the same time or were stuck in the middle while being pulled in opposite directions;

Naturally she gets on stage and begins speaking, saying something along the lines of I can’t believe I won, I always wanted one of these…Before you know it, Kanye 'Jackass' West runs up on stage out of NOWHERE and grabs the mic from her to say that Beyonce had the best video (Beyonce was one of the nominees). The crowd booed him, Beyonce looked a bit shocked, and Taylor Swift was stunned and unable to finish speaking. MTV then cut to a Tracy Morgan monologue and directed her off stage.&lt;br /&gt;How much more of an ass could you be? The world already knows that Kanye 'Jackass' West is a arrogant fool but it is now apparent that he has some kind of inability to filter himself.&lt;br /&gt;Though I do enjoy the Jackass' music, he is an ass and needs to really reevaluate his actions…that was unacceptable and hurtful to Taylor Swift who has worked hard for that moment which you took away and can’t give back.&lt;br /&gt;If I were able to, Id ban Kanye 'Jackass' West from further award shows as he has exhibited the inability to conduct himself in a respectable manner, not only for tonight’s action but his actions on previous award shows and live shows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Update&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - (VIDEO added)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R9zmg4PabhQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R9zmg4PabhQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Update...2:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love it, everytime Kanye 'Jackass' West is mentioned, the audience BOOS! P-Diddy got booed for mentioning his name and the crowd started chanting "TAYLOR...TAYLOR...TAYLOR"! It was great! P-Diddy pretended that he was unaware of the debacle before and asked the crowd "What'd I do?" as he tried to conceal his laughter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Update...3 (Picture Added)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe this is why the Jackass ran on stage? Perhaps he should put that Hennessy bottle down and lay off the alchy for a while...a longg while!&lt;br /&gt;It has also been reported that he left the VMA's after that moment so unfortunetly, he didnt get to hear the crowd boo him several times! Its fine, Im sure he's going to hear about it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381154662267322114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 206px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_F0VXlSdKHXc/Sq2zp53hfwI/AAAAAAAAAB0/92kMwADFZ74/s320/VMA_AWARDS.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Update…4&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Beyonce, in an amazing gesture of kindness, wins a VMA but instead of giving an acceptance speech, she calls out for Taylor Swift and hands her the mic allowing her to finish from earlier. Beyonce said that she could remember being 17 and winning her first MTV award. She recalled it being “one of the most exciting moments of my life” so she wanted Taylor Swift to be able to have that full experience. Taylor swift then came on stage, hugged Beyonce and said “maybe we could try this again?”…&lt;br /&gt;I thought that this was incredibly gracious and not only allowed Taylor to have her moment but because of Beyonce’s act of compassion, she has earned herself great publicity and &lt;em&gt;even more &lt;/em&gt;fans. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;To be honest, I was never a fan of her music and really felt whatever about her. After tonight, how can I help but not like her?She is definitely a lady and others should take note!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;(Last Update...I hope) Here's the Video of Beyonce giving Taylor an opportunity to re-accept her award)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;object height="300" width="520"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wLhlbypk9Lw&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wLhlbypk9Lw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="520" height="300"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Update 5 (The Apology)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;To make matters worse, unnamed sources said that Taylor Swift came off the stage in tears and was crying backstage...nice one Kanye, nice! Making little girls cry now, are we? What happened to keeping your ego in check?&lt;br /&gt;via K 'Jackass' W blog, his apology/non-apology;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;“I’m sooooo sorry to taylor swift and her fans and her mom. I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would’ve said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she’s in the bleachers! …………………… i’m in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!……………. beyonce’s video was the best of this decade! I’m sorry to my fans if I let you guys down! I’m sorry to my friends at mtv. I will apologize to taylor 2mrw. welcome to the real world! everybody wanna booooo me but i’m a fan of real pop culture! No disrespect but we watchin’ the show at the crib right now cause well you know! i’m still happy for taylor! Boooyaaawwww! you are very very talented! I gave my awards to outkast when they deserved it over me…that’s what it is!! i’m not crazy yall, i’m just real. Sorry for that! I really feel bad for taylor and i’m sincerely sorry! Much respect!!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Okay so is this really an apology? Dont you hate when people say "sorry...but"! It takes away from the apology and your back to where you started from. Is he mocking her for her lyrics because then he goes on to say that Beyonce had to the best video of the decade. He has every right to his opinion but it goes to show how arrogant he is that he thinks his opinion should be the last word, enough so that he thinks he is allowed to attack the stage and yank the mic from her hand. How many times is he going to do something ridiculous and offensive? When appearing on Live TV trying to raise money for Katrina, he blurted out that "George Bush does not like Black people". Though this may be his opinion and he may share it with as little or many people as he feels necessary, was that really the place to do it? Was it responsible? (I personally think his statement was incorrect and irresponsible to make an allegation of such magnitude, specifically during a fundraiser of all places. It was stupid, just like all of his other shannanigans)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Also, last year at the awards show, like a 2 yr throwing a temper tantrum, paraded on stage crying about not winning an award! This jerk had the nerve to say, &lt;em&gt;"If I dont win, this award show loses credibility"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and how could I forget his meltdown caught on camera backstage. Apparently he wasnt pleased with performing in a suite instead of on the main stage during the award show...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;object height="244" width="325"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_-631TgPP2s&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_-631TgPP2s&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="325" height="244"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I would just like to know who he thinks he is?

Clever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially I found the outburst by Rep. Joe Wilson to be slightly disrespectful but upon further consideration, while it may not have been the most appropriate course of action, I don’t think it’s this grand hoopla that the democrats have created for themselves. The more that they complain and cry about it, I find my opinion strengthening in the opposite direction.&lt;br /&gt;During this crisis that this Congress and administration has put us through, you expect me to really feel bad that someone is bold enough to come out and tell the truth during a hour long promo for the President? He is a freshman congressman, someone please tell me how he was supposed to get his point across and get attention, more importantly, attention from a media who works for the administration?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, the Democrats behaved far worse on numerous occasions during the Bush presidency. So what the Dems are essentially saying is that it was okay for respect to go out the door for about 8 years during Bush’s term but rule change for Obama?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what…Sometimes you just have to scream to get people to listen, particularly when the cause is important enough, you get a free pass!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GO JOE!

Here you have a President who is giving another campaign speech in front of the nation, addressing congress no less, and his speech is filled with lies and partisan b.s. I have never heard a President be so divisive on purpose. He even told opponents that he would out them…threatening? So, in a moment of frustration, Congressman Wilson lost control and let it out. I was yelling at my TV at home!&lt;br /&gt;Let me ask you a question, the President, on this forum took a shot at Sarah Palin. He called her a liar. Tell me what the difference is? I don’t think a President should stoop that low to hit someone who disagrees with his plan, who by the way is correct in her assertion…Read the bill if you don’t believe me (that goes for you to Mr. President). He’s a bully. Out of all the pundits that have disagreed with him, he went after her…So really, it may have been “rude” for Wilson to scream out the truth and insult the President but what’s the difference between what he did and what the President himself did. The President contradicts himself all the time. He talks about civility and discussion but he then proceeds to bash the Republicans, present false information about their positions, and leaves them out of the discussion. He has the gull to say that the Republicans don’t have a plan which once again (surprise, surprise) is a big fat fib! Too bad their bill was in their hand, if the President would take a minute to stop campaigning and pay attention to anyone but himself he would take notice. Also, why is he continuing to turn his back on the American people in order to pass a bill he says is urgent yet won’t go in effect until 2013…Suspicious? Chyeah!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0PqBiNUyqU&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0PqBiNUyqU&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-3025589864135536292?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/3025589864135536292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=3025589864135536292' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/3025589864135536292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/3025589864135536292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/09/joe-wilson-yells-you-lie-to-president.html' title='Joe Wilson Yells &quot;You Lie&quot; To President Obama'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-5191594431965674772</id><published>2009-09-09T21:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-09T21:31:38.081-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Congress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michelle Obama'/><title type='text'>The Obambi Address To Congress...(well kinda)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Okay, I must admit that I didn't watch the Presidents address live and I'm watching it as I am typing right this moment.

It just doesn’t make sense! I’ve never understood how they knock down the real victim to stick up for the aggressor. They don’t believe in a “right” or “wrong”. Libs are the supposed compassionate ones but their policies directly contradict that.&lt;br /&gt;The video below is from Pajamas Media and features Alfonzo Rachel on “Zonation”. Its absolutely great!&lt;br /&gt;It truly exhibits the difficulty in debating with liberals or having a logical discussion on their policies because their arguments lacks logic! I don’t mean to offend anyone but it’s like dealing with young children who do not think of the results of their actions.

During that same time frame, the number who Strongly Disapprove has grown from 20% to 39%. Those numbers translate to a Presidential Approval Index that has declined from +23 in January to -9 in August.&lt;br /&gt;Also in August, the President’s total approval fell below 50% for the first time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Of course the healthcrap bill and the &lt;a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/var/plain/storage/images/media/obama_monthly_totals_graphics/monthly_approval_index_august_2009/244437-1-eng-US/monthly_approval_index_august_2009.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/var/plain/storage/images/media/obama_monthly_totals_graphics/monthly_approval_index_august_2009/244437-1-eng-US/monthly_approval_index_august_2009.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;manner in which Obama handled this situation encouraged the decline in his approval numbers but the cause of the drop is not entirely limited to just that. Overall the American public is unquestionably angry and even more so, frustrated with this administration and Congress. They are calling on their representatives, many of whom they voted for, to pay attention to their views on a wide variety of issues, the most pressing at this present time being the proposed healthcrap bill which would overhaul the whole health care system for the worse. Instead of having these representatives, supposed public servants, treat their constituents with respect and listen to their legitimate concerns (or in the very least, they could pretend to listen), they treat them like barbarians and proceed to name calling as if they are 2 year olds having a temper tantrum.&lt;br /&gt;Its not too difficult to imagine a politican...say Barney Frank for example...jumping up and down, screaming &lt;em&gt;“wahhh I want my healthcare bill to go through but they are being mean to me and wont let me have it…It's all mine! Wahh, they wont give me all their money…its MY money. I know how to spend it better than they do. They don't even know what's good for them. They're stupid and meaniess”&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;These concerned citizens are now the enemy and they’ll stop at nothing to tear them down. For the first time this administration and politicians on the left are running a smear campaign, not against any organized group or corporation but against the American people. Apparently, they think we are stupid enough to believe that these stay at home moms who are worried about their families future and health are mob members. CHyeah ohhkay!&lt;br /&gt;At any rate, its not difficult to understand why Obama’s numbers have been dwindling away and whats more, the Republicans have a pretty good opportunity to grab seats in the midterm election…that is if they don’t screw it up! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-6942612851147875974?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/6942612851147875974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=6942612851147875974' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/6942612851147875974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/6942612851147875974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/09/obamas-job-approval-numbers-on-downward.html' title='Obama&apos;s Job Approval Numbers On A Downward Trend'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-7924750243914651910</id><published>2009-09-05T21:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-06T01:49:33.573-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Press Releases'/><title type='text'>Breaking News: 'Green Jobs' Van Jones Resigns (Update Added)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;This just in, Van Jones has resigned!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://washingtonpost.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Washington Post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Van Jones, special adviser for green jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, resigned Saturday, following &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/04/AR2009090403563.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;weeks of pressure from the right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; and a flurry of revelations about his past statements. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today," Jones said in a statement dated Sept 5 released around midnight on Sept 6."On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me.They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide," he continued.

Any thoughts that go through his deranged mind seem to regurgitate out of his mouth. Well, he’s done it again! It just seems like he has absolutely no control over what he says. Then again come to think of it, it has been my experience that those who cannot control their own lives or feel as if they do not control portions of their life find it necessary to control others. Perhaps this is the case with Prince Harry? Who could forget when the Senate Majority Leader made that appalling remark regarding visitors to the Capitol and their body odor. His exact quote was;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;“In the summer because of the heat and high humidity, you could literally smellthe tourists coming into the Capitol. It may be descriptive but it’s true.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;If the Senator did any real work, he might sweat a little himself. Instead, the only thing this self-proclaimed prince can do is to spend our hard earned money! This is also the same pompous Senator who said the war was lost while our troops were still overseas!&lt;br /&gt;This week at a luncheon, Prince Harry told a Nevada Businessman,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;“I hope you go out of business!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;He’s like a child that just doesn’t know when to shut up. I hate to be rude but this behavior is unacceptable, you are above no one. How dare he bully anyone! Is this what our founding fathers had in mind, a legislative body of bullies? We can only hope that he’ll be voted out this upcoming election!&lt;br /&gt;Heres more on the exchange from the &lt;a href="http://www.lvrj.com/opinion/56171937.html"&gt;Review-Journal&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, before he addressed a Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Reid joined the chamber's board members for a meet-'n'-greet and a photo. One of the last in line was the Review-Journal's director of advertising, Bob Brown, a hard-working Nevadan who toils every day on behalf of advertisers. He has nothing to do with news coverage or the opinion pages of the Review-Journal. Yet, as Bob shook hands with our senior U.S. senator in what should have been nothing but a gracious business setting, Reid said: "I hope you go out of business." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Later, in his public speech, Reid said he wanted to let everyone know that he wants the Review-Journal to continue selling advertising because the Las Vegas Sun is delivered inside the Review-Journal. Such behavior cannot go unchallenged. You could call Reid's remark ugly and be right. It certainly was boorish. Asinine? That goes without saying.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;But to fully capture the magnitude of Reid's remark (and to stop him from doing the same thing to others) it must be called what it was -- a full-on threat perpetrated by a bully who has forgotten that he was elected to office to protect Nevadans, not sound like he's shaking them down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-320795429352509301?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/320795429352509301/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=320795429352509301' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/320795429352509301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/320795429352509301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/08/prince-harry-reid-tells-nevada.html' title='Prince Harry Reid Tells Nevada Businessman, &quot;I Hope You Go Out Of Business&quot;'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_F0VXlSdKHXc/Sptd0H9bZaI/AAAAAAAAABY/SF0L1vFcGAI/s72-c/Prince-Harry-Reid.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-7453974485085173212</id><published>2009-08-29T22:21:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-29T22:49:45.410-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dick Cheney'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Interviews'/><title type='text'>Chris Wallace Interview With Dick Cheney Reminder</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Just wanted to post a reminder to watch Fox News Sunday tomorrow. Chris Wallace recently interviewed former VP Dick Cheney and if I am not mistaken, we can all count on Cheney to be very candid.&lt;br /&gt;The significant event that prompted this interview was the announcement of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s investigation into enhanced interrogation techniques. Holder appointed a special prosecutor to look into whether crimes had been committed. This was done even after the administration promised that it would not focus into the past but instead move forward. But then again, can we ever count on what they say…it’s an administration full of rhetoric bearing no weight!&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here’s a sneak peek into the interview tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed id="mediumFlashEmbedded" name="Monkan" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://foxnews1.a.mms.mavenapps.net/mms/rt/1/site/foxnews1-foxnews-pub01-live/current/videolandingpage/fncLargePlayer/client/embedded/embedded.swf" width="405" height="375" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#000000" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" quality="high" play="false" scale="scale" menu="false" salign="LT" scriptaccess="always" wmode="false" flashvars="playerId=videolandingpage&amp;amp;playerTemplateId=fncLargePlayer&amp;amp;categoryTitle=undefined&amp;amp;referralObject=8788307"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(From the interview) Cheney called the probe,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"outrageous political act" that will do long-term damage to the United&lt;br /&gt;States' capacity to protect the country.&lt;br /&gt;We had a track record now of eight years of defending the nation against any further mass casualty attacks from al Qaeda. The approach of the Obama administration should be to come to those people who were involved in that policy and say, 'How did you do it? What were the keys to keeping this country safe over that period of time?'" Cheney said. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"Instead, they're out there now threatening to&lt;br /&gt;disbar the lawyers who gave us the legal opinions -- threatening contrary to what the president originally said.

Michelle Bachmann in Congress as a defender of the constitution. She may not be my Congresswoman but she does stand up for conservative values at all times. This is one fearless lady! She tells it straight, she says what she means, and she’s not afraid to debate irrational liberals. I know Bachmann has plenty of haters, people who have nothing better to do than monitor her every movement and word in order to take them out of context. Thus they intend to make false allegations on those words they twisted in an effort to discredit her. Her opposition already tries to make her sound like she’s off the wall nutty. I’ll be honest with you; I was worried for a moment that they were going to attack Bachmann as they did Palin. Because she’s attractive, she’s republican, and not to mention outspoken, she's considered an enemy by those who disagree with her positions. Let us not forget Alinskys strategy or what’s better known as the modern lib handbook, their strategy is to isolate and ridicule which has happened already with immense persistence. Like a dork (I mean dork in the most complimentary of ways! Wanted to clarify, you never know when the PC police decide show up and begin issuing citations) I am absolutely into all things political and try my best to follow all issues as close as I can. So you can imagine that I was familiar with Michelle Bachmann. As much as I’ve heard her speak, watched her interviews, and am knowledgeable about her positions, it would be dishonest to act as if I know anything about who she is and her past qualifications. I decided I would find out more about her and its actually quite interesting. Not only is she intelligent, her and her husband are very compassionate people. Here are a few facts you may or may not know about &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Rep. Michelle Bachmann:&lt;br /&gt;-She has 5 children and has been a foster parent for over 23 children (that’s amazing)&lt;br /&gt;-She received her J.D (law degree) and also her LL.M degree in tax law&lt;br /&gt;-She served in the state senate from 01-07&lt;br /&gt;-Her and her husband own a small business which employs over 42 people&lt;br /&gt;-6th District in Minnesota and was elected for her second term in 2008&lt;br /&gt;-Elected in 2006 as the first Republican woman to represent Minnesota&lt;br /&gt;-She spent 5 yrs as a Federal Tax Litigator attorney working on hundreds of civil and criminal cases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Sorry folks, she’s not only attractive, straight forward, fearless, but she’s intelligent and very considerate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-91624717242713839?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/91624717242713839/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=91624717242713839' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/91624717242713839'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/91624717242713839'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/08/michelle-bachmann-bites-back-during-her.html' title='Michelle Bachmann Bites Back During Her Town Hall'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-3256471599576283277</id><published>2009-08-28T22:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-28T23:01:54.652-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Funny-ness'/><title type='text'>Julia Stiles Mocks Fellow Eco-Fanatic Celebs</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Maybe you should just watch the video below; it pretty much speaks for itself.

That’s all I have to say about Mark Levin’s FaH-Bu-Lous book, Liberty and Tyranny!&lt;br /&gt;I must forewarn you that I am not yet finished with the book; I have about 30 pages left. I say that with an enormous amount of sadness as I am not ready for the book to end quite yet. It must sound silly but it’s honestly how I feel.&lt;br /&gt;What the mainstream media wont report is the success in sales of his book. Since its release in March, the book has dominated the New York Times Bestsellers list. When’s the last time you heard any mention about this book on any of the networks? Don’t be fooled folks; they are fully aware of it which is why they choose to ignore it. Because the media can’t pick it apart and they certainly can’t disprove any of his facts, they have no choice than to essentially boycott it and hope that it goes away. In fact, Mark Levin has detailed and credited his sources for any naysayers! Unfortunately for them, we are not allowing them to dictate our beliefs nor will we allow them to choose our reading lists.&lt;br /&gt;Well folks, Ill post my full review once I finish reading the book in it's entirety but I’m pretty sure you already know how I feel about it at this point. Simply amazing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ll keep you posted as I finish the book!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you read it yet? Actually, I’m in search of my next book right now, any suggestions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-8865514945012901878?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/8865514945012901878/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=8865514945012901878' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8865514945012901878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8865514945012901878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/08/must-read-liberty-tyranny-by-mark-levin.html' title='MUST Read | Liberty &amp; Tyranny by Mark Levin'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F0VXlSdKHXc/SpikBsOalYI/AAAAAAAAABI/ZN-uyJBiI28/s72-c/Liberty-tyranny-mark-levin.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-328030289151573735</id><published>2009-08-28T00:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-28T00:36:44.650-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ABC Bias'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Healthcare Crazy-ness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MSM Bias Reporting'/><title type='text'>ABC &amp; NBC Say No to Anti-Healthcare Ad</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Wow...Via &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/27/abc-nbc-refuse-air-advertisement-critical-obamas-health-care-plan/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;FoxNews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;"&gt;The refusal by ABC and NBC to run a national ad critical of President Obama's health care reform plan is raising questions from the group behind the spot -- particularly in light of ABC's health care special aired in prime time last June and hosted at the White House...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;"&gt;..."The ABC Television Network has a long-standing policy that we do not sell time for advertising that presents a partisan position on a controversial public issue," spokeswoman Susan Sewell said in a written statement. "Just to be clear, this is a policy for the entire network, not just ABC News."&lt;br /&gt;NBC, meanwhile, said it has not turned down the ad and will reconsider it with some revisions.&lt;br /&gt;"We have not rejected the ad," spokeswoman Liz Fischer told FOXNews.com. "We have communicated with the media agency about some factual claims that require additional substantiation. As always, we are happy to reconsider the ad once these issues are addressed."&lt;br /&gt;Adams objects to ABC's assertion that his group's position is partisan.&lt;br /&gt;"It's a position that we would argue a vast majority of Americans stand behind," he said. "Obviously, it's a message that ABC and the Obama administration haven't received yet."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;So basically Obama gets an hour long FREE time slot on ABC to discuss his healthcrap bill but a group PAYING for an ad in opposition on healthcare is way too partisan for ABC. Right. Maybe it would behoove ABC to force Obama's hour long infomercial to be reviewed for accuracy!

It was way too obvious that half of the people in support of the bill were there at the direction of a group like 'Healthcare for America' whose signs were being passed around. The opposition who are supposedly mob members were a lot less organized, their signs were homemade, and to be quite honest, they were more knowledgeable about the facts rather than spewing the left wing talking points which lacked substantive information. I'm not saying this to be rude but the people I spoke to in support of this health'fraud' bill said the same thing over and over, trying to argue a compassion plea but lacking any other information. If they did supplement their argument with facts (or so they thought), they were supposed facts because they came out of the Presidents mouth. Well I really dislike telling you this but um...hes kind of all talk and no show. Lets be wise, take a look into history, politicians LIE...surprise surprise. FDR lied about Social Security and led people to believe it was more of a personal savings account. It happens! That's one example out of many. You have to realize that its up to us and our investigative journalist to expose the truth. Unfortunately because the journalist seem to have dozed off on duty, its up to you and I to make decisions based on our own research and not because someone says its true. Do you go to the car dealership or buy a house without doing some research beforehand? You look into the neighborhood, you find out how much the other houses that are similar to it were sold for. You get an inspection to make sure everything is as they say it is. You do your homework! Well folks lets do our homework on this healthcrap bill! You'll have no one to blame but yourself...well maybe those slimy politicians too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R46X3J7ZFuk&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R46X3J7ZFuk&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-8004901582919702530?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/8004901582919702530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=8004901582919702530' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8004901582919702530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8004901582919702530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/08/truth-about-astroturfahem-pelosi.html' title='Truth About &quot;Astroturf&quot;...Ahem Pelosi'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-5681444239930730902</id><published>2009-08-27T23:33:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-27T23:52:21.895-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Funny-ness'/><title type='text'>Cheating Husband Punishment in Northern Virginia | Video</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;So this guy apparently cheats on his wife which pretty much makes him a loser (no sympathies here) and makes a deal with her to stand at a busy intersection during traffic with a sign admitting his infidelity.

I couldn't think of a better way to explain the situation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully other Virginia voters are going to observe our current situation and make a better choice for governor this time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-8456337831062577902?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/8456337831062577902/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=8456337831062577902' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8456337831062577902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/8456337831062577902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/08/feels-like-ive-been-punked.html' title='&quot;Feels Like I&apos;ve Been Punked&quot; - Disenfranchised Voter'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_F0VXlSdKHXc/Sn-zx8alDKI/AAAAAAAAABA/vcX1DDiIoYU/s72-c/Punked.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-6648140647395996549</id><published>2009-08-09T00:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-09T00:57:09.594-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ridiculousness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='What The F'/><title type='text'>Hm...No Toilet Paper in Cuba What?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And in other news around the world, lets take a little trip to Cuba which I believe is about 90 miles off the coast of Florida in the Keys. Because &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; too lazy to google this, take the whole 90 miles thing loosely and refrain from repeating unless googled to check for accuracy. Now back to Cuba. AP reported this week that Cuba (the lefts paradise) is going to be running out of toilet paper this year. Trust, this is not a joke. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; sure the people in Cuba wish it were a joke.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I must tell you, now I understand why Cuba is spoken of so highly among the left. Now &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; get me wrong, I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; mean to insult the country, its the government that I choose to insult! Cuba has &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;wonderful&lt;/span&gt; people and a beautiful beautiful country. Cuba used to be a resort island until the Communist takeover. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the wonderful cigars. Now that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;mobstah&lt;/span&gt; (because &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; opposed to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;healthcare&lt;/span&gt; plan) I must puff on a cigar here and there to get the full effect. Just trying to get into my role folks...gotta play the part.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So let me get this straight, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Dems&lt;/span&gt; try to convince me that Cuba has the best &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;healthcare&lt;/span&gt; system yet they &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; have toilet paper?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Once again, I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; want to make light of the situation as I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;genuinely&lt;/span&gt; feel for the Cuban people who have to put up with these atrocities but I also find the situation to be a bit comical because of the Democratic leaders in OUR country trying to convince us that we should be moving to the left...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Hmm&lt;/span&gt;...show me where that has worked, just asking for 1 place? Cant think of it, yeah, thought so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Yahoo News!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;HAVANA (Reuters) – Cuba, in the grip of a serious economic crisis, is running short of toilet paper and may not get sufficient supplies until the end of the year, officials with state-run companies said on Friday. Officials said they were lowering the prices of 24 basic goods to&lt;br /&gt;help Cubans get through the difficulties provoked in part by the global&lt;br /&gt;financial crisis and three destructive hurricanes that struck the island last year.Cuba's financial reserves have been depleted by increased spending for imports and reduced export income, which has forced the communist-led government to take extraordinary measures to keep the economy afloat.&lt;br /&gt;"The corporation has taken all the steps so that at the end of the year there will be&lt;br /&gt;an important importation of toilet paper," an official with state conglomerate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Cimex&lt;/span&gt; said on state-run Radio &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Rebelde&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The shipment will enable the state-run company "to supply this demand that today is presenting problems," he said. Cuba both imports toilet paper and produces its own, but does not currently have enough raw materials to make it, he said. One of the measures taken to address&lt;br /&gt;the cash crunch is a 20 percent cut in imports, which in recent days has become&lt;br /&gt;evident in the reduction of goods in state-run stores. Cuba imports about 60&lt;br /&gt;percent of its food. Despite the shortages, prices will be cut between 5 percent&lt;br /&gt;and 27 percent for some food, drugs and personal hygiene products, officials&lt;br /&gt;said.&lt;br /&gt;A visit to a store in Havana's &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Vedado&lt;/span&gt; neighborhood on Friday found that&lt;br /&gt;prices had dropped for mayonnaise, barbecue sauce and canned squid.One&lt;br /&gt;customer, who gave his name only as Pedro, complained that "it doesn't look&lt;br /&gt;like prices have been lowered for the fundamental products" such as cooking&lt;br /&gt;oil. Ana Maria Ortega, deputy director for military-run retail conglomerate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;TRD&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;Caribe&lt;/span&gt;, said there will be no shortage of basic goods.&lt;br /&gt;"The conditions are in place to maintain the supply of essential products," she said on the same&lt;br /&gt;radio program. Cubans receive a subsidized food ration from the government each&lt;br /&gt;month that they say meets their needs for about two weeks. President Raul Castro&lt;br /&gt;told the National Assembly last week that the government had cut its spending&lt;br /&gt;budget for the second time this year and has been renegotiating its&lt;br /&gt;debt and payments with foreign providers.&lt;br /&gt;Cuba has long blamed the 47-year-old U.S. trade embargo against the island for many of its economic problems. It also said that last year's hurricanes did $10 billion worth of damage that forced the government to spend heavily on imports of food and reconstruction products.&lt;br /&gt;Castro, who replaced his ailing older brother Fidel Castro as president last year, also has complained that Cuba's productivity is too low. He has taken various steps to boost output, including putting more state-owned land in private hands and pushing for salaries to be based on&lt;br /&gt;productivity.&lt;br /&gt;(Reporting by Nelson Acosta and Esteban Israel; Editing by&lt;br /&gt;Jeff Franks&lt;br /&gt;and Will &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;Dunham&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, got to love the part where they also blame America. Cant ever forget to blame America.&lt;br /&gt;Get a life!

The teachable moment,Giuliani answered, is to &lt;strong&gt;'Shut up'&lt;/strong&gt;. Clearly Giuliani is not telling the President to shut up but is advising him to shut his mouth when involving himself in matters that do not concern him. More importantly, refrain from publicly humiliating and degrading a police officer during an evening press conference in front of the whole country if you do not have THE FACTS. If a President goes out of his way to call you racist, how do you ever get away from that? Your name, your career, everything and anything you’ve ever done is tarnished from that point on.&lt;br /&gt;After all, as an attorney he should know that you are innocent until proven guilty...on both ends! I believe that we should all know the facts and make our final conclusion based on the evidence we receive. Furthermore, we should always have respect for Police Officers.&lt;br /&gt;Okay, Im done writing about this so let me get down to the nitty darn gritty of it all...&lt;strong&gt;Everyone should have respect for one another but most of all, we should respect authority&lt;/strong&gt;. Follow directions, obey the law, and we can all be friends.&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I do like Rudy Giuliani despite the fact that I worked for his opponent during the primaries; I still like him a lot! He’s not afraid to be disliked, he’s tough, funny, and gives it to you straight!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Enjoy the vid!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed name="flashObj" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=" src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f8/1155201977" width="486" height="412" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" swliveconnect="true" seamlesstabbing="false" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" flashvars="videoId=31385258001&amp;amp;playerId=1155201977&amp;amp;viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://console.brightcove.com/services/amfgateway&amp;amp;servicesURL=http://services.brightcove.com/services&amp;amp;cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&amp;amp;domain=embed&amp;amp;autoStart=false&amp;amp;" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2657172386207374035-7380644542090879733?l=simplymonkan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/feeds/7380644542090879733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2657172386207374035&amp;postID=7380644542090879733' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7380644542090879733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2657172386207374035/posts/default/7380644542090879733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplymonkan.blogspot.com/2009/08/rudy-advises-obama-to-shut-up.html' title='Rudy Advises Obama to &apos;Shut Up&apos;'/><author><name>Monkan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657172386207374035.post-3537909489765403903</id><published>2009-07-30T23:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-30T23:42:16.032-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MSM Bias Reporting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michelle Malkin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Interviews'/><title type='text'>Michelle Malkin Irks Matt Lauer During Today Interview</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Gotta love the "unbiased" journalism from Lauer.
