I thought the Young Turks had a great response to the above Fox dilemma!


I need to get off this political stuff for a little! It makes my blood boil!
Anyway, I wish I knew Spanish better! I would have loved to hear what this poor guy was saying to the reporter under his breath!

Jerome Corsi deported from Kenya-the (real) true story!

It has been reported on the Fox website that author Jerome Corsi has been deported from Kenya. Kenya Reportedly Deports American Author of Anti-Obama Book. Actually, the reasons that the story insinuates are just not the case. (Whoa! Fox News' reporting isn't accurate?!)

Some are reporting that Corsi was thrown out due to his recently published book, "Obama Nation-Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality. Obama's father is a Kenyan and some feel that the anti-Obama book is inflammatory to Kenyans.

Well, I have the real story on this. It's not due to the book and its anti-Obama rhetoric. It's due to the gas. The gas you say? What gas?! This is part of the story I brought to you a couple of months ago These revelations are noxious!

Other sources are saying that Corsi's grammaticist, Ted (Corsi will not give his last name due to "security reasons") is still having a lot of problems with what Corsi described in his book as "human gas." It seems Mr. Corsi is also having problems with foul odors emanating from his person in addition to Ted.

Joseph Angwenyi, a Kenyan police officer, reported that both Corsi and Ted were causing a "ruckus" in a small restaurant. "Some of the restaurant's patrons kept smelling something most foul" Angwenyi said through an interpreter. "The people kept smelling this horrible smell. As some walked near the table where Corsi and Ted were seated, they noticed that was the smell's strongest point." "It was them." (meaning Corsi and Ted) "They were giving off a sulfur-like smell...it was overpowering!" So overpowering was the stench that Corsi and Ted were asked to leave the restaurant. Soon after, due to the continuing "odor issues" at their hotel, they were politely asked to leave the country.

In response to the question that Corsi and Ted were asked to leave due to the book, Angwenyi replied, "No! Absolutely not! Kenyans do not concern themselves with comic books, or the rantings of those who are obviously unstable." "What Kenyans are concerned with is having clean, fresh oxygen to breathe." "These two individuals were actually making Kenyan citizens sick with their foul odors." "Sulfur." "Mr. Corsi and the other person, were literally engulfing anyone within a 10-15 foot radius with sulfur-like gas smells." "Let me personally say that I have never smelled such a horrible, disgusting odor in my life!" "No bathroom-probably in the world-has ever experienced the putrid smell that those two unleashed!"

So, the moral of the story is, if you want the real story on some issue, whether that be the Presidential election, the economy, politics, or some right wing nut jobs causing a stink in Kenya, don't trust Fox News! Trust me!

Nothing much...

Hey folks. Been really busy with work lately, and haven't felt like posting much anyways. I have been watching more TV news shows lately-interested in how things are turning out.
I haven't even been visiting other blogs very much lately. I want to get back into it soon! I need to catch up though, at least on my dumb comments sometime soon! So blogmates-I will be seeing you soon!

I was wondering what Fox News was lying about earlier, so I turned the TV on and saw the typical barbie anchor giving a report about Sarah Palin's jabs at Obama's acquaintance with Bill Ayers at a rally. The other anchor then said something like "...in the interests of fairness, since we already spoke with Obama's campaign manager, we now have Tucker Bounds, John McCain's campaign manager."
Now, if Fox News was actually fair and balanced, like they claim to be, this wouldn't be the punchline it is. I mean, come on! This network has been hammering away at Obama for every little thing ever since he was jumped into the race. They have had guest after guest, and show after show try to smear and malign Obama's campaign. To say that they have even tried to give airtime to Obama in a positive manner is truly insulting. And Fox "News" is truly a joke. (I know, I know-that's not groundbreaking news) I actually managed to laugh a little at the inanity.

Also, I just need to say something. There is a lot of divisiveness in America right now. As a progressive/liberal person, I see a lot of that divisiveness coming from the right-the right in our country is on alert right now, trying to play catch up now that Obama's lead in the polls is growing. Looking at comments in the blogs-Liveleak, or Youtube, it is clear that some on the right are afraid of a black President, even one who is, in my opinion, not very liberal at all. I would characterize Obama's platform and beliefs as a moderate to even conservative Democrat. I am more like a Kucinich (or more!) Demo, but I do think Obama would a great President. He would take us light years away from the mess we are in now, that's for sure!
I know that there are some on the left who say dumb things that can rub people the wrong way, but I think the right in this country is reactionary-(I guess that's why they are called reactionaries). Everything is a harsh, negative , and sometimes outright threatening reaction to change, or new ideas.
I was watching Fox later in the day, and guess what? They have hired Mike Huckabee to host his own show! Only on Fox! Fair and Balanced-yes indeed. Mike Huckabee!
It even shows up (a little) in one of my son's kids videos. Just recently, he had a birthday, and received a Veggietales video. Veggietales is produced by a conservative christian company, but I had never heard of anything, or thought that the company would be brazen enough to fill these particular movies with rightie beliefs that showed that particular bias. I was wrong. I was watching one of the movies with my son the other day, and an old west character was narrating, talking about traveling in the West, and he says "Indians" and then quickly corrected himself and said "oh, excuse me!" "Native Americans!" Personally, I don't think my Indian friends or neighbors mind being called Indians. I use that term. It was the way the character in the movie-a old west Yosemite Sam-like character- said it that got my goat. It was said in a snide, condescending way. I know this may sound silly to some, but taken with all the other crap, it gets to me sometimes. All this rightie claptrap!

Tina Fey does it again:




Nicholas Gurewitch's Perry Bible Fellowship has always been a favorite of mine!

I have had Don Asmussen's Bad Reporter comic on here before also! It's great!

I hadn't had any of Derf's The City comics here before! I am sorry that I hadn't!

Charming...isn't it?

Hi fellow bloggers/visitors! I want to tell you about a little jewelry business my wife has been doing on the side for a while. She has been making jewelry for as long as I can remember, but just started two little stores on Etsy.com, where she is selling her own hand-made jewelry.

Lavender Moon's emphasis is on vintage style beaded jewelry, and Lucindas Charms concentrates on vintage style charms and filigree. She just started a blog: http://www.lucindascharms.blogspot.com
She makes some great stuff! She works hard at it! I hope that you stop by her blog and her stores and check our her designs! Thanks!


This is pretty funny-a "mash-up" of the Gibson Palin interview with a famous interchange that occurred at the Miss Teen USA competition in 2007. Enjoy!

Some Oldies but Goodies... and maybe you hadn't seenies?

Back in June 2007 when I first started out on this blog experience, I had really wanted to start posting some of these hilarious cartoons I had seen on this really cool site called Camp Chaos Camp Chaos . When the time came around when I wanted to post them, the site was down, undergoing changes or something, and if I remember correctly, they had taken a few of the best 'toons down!

They had these 'toons drawn, written and animated by Bob Cesca, (who, by the way has a cool blog: Bob Cesca's Goddamn Awesome Blog! Go!) about the Metallica vs Napster controversy. (see: About Camp Chaos) Metallica-especially bandmembers Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield got ripped for their stance against Napster music downloading, and I, being a proponent of downloading (not with Napster specifically, but just the premise of the whole thing-ultra-rich rockstars complaining about a few high school and college kids downloading some of their stuff for free) was happy about that. I didn't like Metallica then at all so those clips were all the more funny. Those cartoons were probably some of the funniest shit I had ever seen! In fact, I don't know if I have seen many 'toons that funny since. You have to know who Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield are, their personas, and how they speak to really get it, although with the dialogue and the visuals alone, it's still pretty funny. Lar's eyes are crazy! You have to see the way those eyes and the way they move around, and those great voices!


I also hadn't been able to find this really funny Toby Keith clip, but I found that one too! See way down below! I think that clip has run into some trouble from either Toby Keith's legal team or maybe Cesca felt it was a little too inflammatory (for post-9/11 feelings) at the time-either way, believe me-that clip is hard to find!

Guess what!? I found some of those cartoons that were the funniest! Here are a few of them! I am posting a Lars Ulrich interview so you can get a "feel" for his mannerisms!

From wolverines to threats of gang-related shootings

Hi! How's it going!? Long time no see! I know, I know! I've been busy alright!? No, really, I have been busy with work and dealing with personal issues and professional issues and "other stuff"!

Well anyway, last night, I had to get away from all that other stuff, and where did I go? To that otherworldly sanctum of video ecstasy called Youtube! You see, Youtube can take me away, Calgon-it has all the necessary guitar/music videos I need to escape. It also has most of the comedic clips I need for a laugh, and it sometimes blows me away with stuff that I really don't expect!

Like, last night, for example. Here I am just aimlessly looking at clips about animals. For some reason, (don't ask me why) I looked up wolverines. I think I had seen a news blip about a wolverine or something, ok?! So, I'm looking for wolverine clips and I find one where a wolverine kicks ass on 2 wolves! I mean, the poor wolves had gone to all this trouble killing a moose or something-(they shoulda asked for help from Sarah P. huh?) and then this damn wolverine comes along and steals it. Not only steals it, but steals it in a very rude way! With lots of teeth gnashing and growling, yeah this wolverine didn't f$@% around! So, I want to find out more about this potentially vicious animal, but I'm distracted by the "Related Videos" link on the right of the screen. I see titles where there's fights between all kinds of different animals but with each click on the Related Videos, I get deeper into some shit I don't wanna see at all! I think the Related Videos thing is why we have banned our 7 year-old son from looking at Youtube! Hey! I really like your TTS! And More Moron music He likes to look at different kinds of machines- washing machines etc, jack in the boxes, cartoons, etc, but those damn Related Videos get him into trouble!

I finally get to this weird gangbanger shit, where some Sureno 13 gangbangers (who have unfortunately begun to set up shop around ABQ) are talking smack to some rival "Nortenos"! This one clip is getting all up on some Nortenos ass, talking all kinds of smack, maddogging it, esse! I look in the comments and, incongruously, (but somehow, very fitting!) amongst the nasty, undecipherable language and hopefully only written threats, is a spam comment that just melted all that hate away!

I was tagged a few days ago by blogbuddy and fellow educator, Mathman When Will I Use This?

with the 5 different things- thing.

Well here goes:

1. Where was I ten years ago?

-September 1998- I was here in ABQ, beginning a tenure teaching in a special needs preschool classroom, at an elementary school about 5 minutes away from our house! I must have liked it-I stayed doing that up until last school year, when I became an itinerant early childhood liaison, working with special needs kids preschool to 3rd grade. I had taught a kindergarten special ed. classroom and the preschool special education classroom at another school for 3 years before that.

2. What was on my to do list today?

-work on some IEPs for upcoming meetings, and calling a parent about some issues. Email stuff; Pick up my son after school-(I am lucky I have my office where I write reports, IEPs, etc, at my son's school which is the same school I had taught at for 10 years-see above) to take him to his private Speech Therapist.

3. What would I do if I was a millionaire?

-I know this might sound bad as a teacher, but if I/we (ahem! says my wife!) won the lottery, I would want to quit working. (this would depend on how much of a millionaire I/we were, but, if it was a big win, I would want to finish out the year, and then resign, so that I could work on helping my son out more and advocating for him. Sometimes my (and my wife also) being tired affects how much I can do with and for him-simple things like going to the park, etc to other things like trying to implement at home some things that his therapists recommend we do, and doing more to help him deal with his autism. Being an educator is a very tough job, professionally and emotionally sometimes. I know there are some teachers who would never think of quitting but...that's their thing, and I applaud them. We should all hope that there are those teachers who can dedicate their whole lives to teaching our kids. I would probably want to help special educators with some expenses or other assistance since our state is so poorly funded education wise. I would help out my mom/family with some stuff, pay off a few things. Nothing extravagant.

4. Five places I have lived:

-that's easy-I haven't lived in more than two-here in ABQ, NM and Los Lunas, NM. Nowhere else.

5. Bad habits I have.

- not closing cupboard doors sometimes.

-not pushing in my chair

-staying on the computer for hours and hours-unless my wife gets a hold of me!

*If any of you blog mates want to do this tag, go ahead-no pressure!

Another blogmate, John from For Your Entertainment had this funny Jonathan Coulton zombie song- Your Brains: http://foryourentertainment.blogspot.com/2008/09/heavy-rotation.html. He has a link to Jonathan's site where if you drill down into Music and Mp3's you can find some good sometimes free funny songs. (This one is unfortunately not free-it's a dollar though, so what the heck)
