Canned Smiles & Crumbling Stiles
.jpg)
But You-Know-Who needed to look as if he were doing "something" about "helping" while insincerely smiling his way through the day NOT CAMPAIGNING one bit. Nope. Not at all. That's the kind of person I want for Prez. Yep. (Burp.)
Meanwhile, on The Real Work of DOING SOMETHING, kudos to Prez Obama for making the "right" moves and only asking the country to send money to The Red Cross, rather than his campaign in a subtle form. Oh sure, a few GOPer's are finding fault with his handling of the Largest Storm Evah because, you know, he can't look "good" with the election only a few days away. It's also quite ironic that one of the Naysayer's is none other than "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie" Mike Brown, former FEMA Head Guy. Right. He really knows his disaster stuff, doesn't he? His fine-tuned non-handling of Katrina gives him the credibility to find fault with Obama. Such a predictable person, that "Brownie" is. So out-of-touch with what to do when waters rise, people die, power outages occur all over the place, and everything in-between. I wish someone had removed the Not-Ever-Ready Batteries from his brain so that he too could experience a Personal Power Outage. Who cares what he says? What in the world am I "talking" about? Link: This Little Thing
Onward from that mess go we into the subject of Infrastructure. Why? Because before Mother Nature began to flip-out more than usual in the U.S. over the past decade, bridges were crumbling, roads were falling apart – that sort of dangerous stuff. With more damage to the already frail, vulnerable roads, leaking tunnels, backed-up sewers, this country must focus more than before on taking care of our country's needs before jumping into Disaster Relief for other countries. Sorry to say, despite the good the U.S. does for others, WE need someone at the helm (with a non-politically-motivated filibustering group of Azzhats blocking every bill/idea to improve our infrastructure's weakness) if we are to remain safe on our own soil…and cement.
Seems to me we have someone in a Big Position In Government who thinks about these things. Infrastructure isn't a sexy subject for most and is too often ignored when the Siren Call Of Deregulation, ending "Obamacare" and everything else of Basic Human Concern, sashays through the halls of Congress, leaving a trail of cheap perfume wafting in the rarefied air there.
Are you still awake? Didn't that awful perfume trip The Nausea Maker in your stomach? Would you rather I write about something else?
I will, but not today. I'm continuing to recover from my own vulnerable Infrastructure. I'm so wiped-out from being a Full-Time Caregiver to my mother for two weeks after spending three weeks prior to staying with her worrying that she was dying, that the above is the best I can do for now. The good news is, my mother is doing quite well and I was able to help in key areas. Now it's my turn to call in a Caregiver…such as was done yesterday with two very cool people who run an Efficient Cleaning Service showing-up right on time to give me a break from becoming Cinderella Before The Ball. I def need the help. Today another Physical Therapist is stopping by to check on me as my hip has experienced an unfortunate setback, and although I'm healthy in general, I am still provided with a Nurse when needed to check on my vitals. Since I'm not feeling Very Vital right now, and should be living with a B-12 IV, I welcome the assistance. Let's hope she can teach me how to blow the Mental Exhaustion Away.
Which, by the way, is an excellent example of what I was writing concerning how important it is for the USA to take care of its own ills before continuing to be The World's Doctors all of the time. When one is too rundown to take care of one's self, how then can we be helpful to anyone else? Remember the adage – "Physician, Heal Thyself." No truer words.
Until "next time" (see, I'm being vague on purpose), thanks for stopping by.

Trains, Storms, and Stupid Dames
I'm also distracted by the danger of Hurricane/MegaStorm Sandy. Several people I care for are "back there" living literally on the coast, if not a mere a block away - and, of course, no one I know in the numerous regions of harm's way have been on Facebook today and can't be reached, so my focus is elsewhere.
BUT, if you need a little laugh and haven't heard about Lindsay Low-hand's latest example of what over-drugging (as well as stupidity) can do to one's mind, please enjoy what Michael K of dlisted posted on his blog today. You'll be sure to feel 1,000 times smarter than a slug slithering around your garage and garden. Here's the direct link: (Prepare To Spill Coffee)
Be well everyone. Will be back tomorrow!

Oh No! It's Ohio!
I grew up in Northeast Ohio (as well as Florida several months of each year) until I was 19 - the state where 18 Electoral Votes is VIP in Presidential Elections. What non-Ohioans don't know is how politically divided Ohio is based on territory. Northern Ohio is where more Progressives reside than Southern Ohio. The state may as well be sliced into two states with the incredible difference in beliefs, influences, industry. The scenery may be the same as Northern Ohio with its lush environments; gorgeous farm lands; rolling green pastures and thick, healthy woods, but the mindset is seriously Two Different Worlds. Naturally, I'm saying that Southern Ohio is Conservative far more than the North. And that is why my hair is standing on end to realize that Obama is not a favourite in half of the state, thus making "Liberals" like me a tad jumpy to know how much this election more than ever will be focusing on how Ohio votes.
Keenly aware of how deeply racist and narrow-minded many of the people are and can be "down there" in the Southern Pastures, I am not confident that Obama will win the Popular Vote, as well as pull-in the Electoral Numbers necessary for success. It's a fickle crowd. So, my point of this post is to scream at my "roots" and hang my head in shame that Ohio is THAT important to the outcome. Particularly when the Republican Gubner has tried everything he could possibly do to play the game of Disenfranchising Democratic Voters. Not only that, but the temptation for Dirty Tricks by GOPer's to play a cheap game with the numbers is strong because the stakes there are so high. Regardless of the fact that from what we've been hearing - early voters are going in Obama's direction - doesn't calm the dread many of us feel who know how that state operates. If people think Chicago is corrupt, believe me when I say Ohio is JUST AS MUCH - albeit in a less overt manner.
Therefore, LOOK OUT AMERICA! Ohio could be jerking votes around as easily as Chicago did for JFK in the 60's. Romney appeals to the insensibility's of the unconsciousness there. People take their Conservative Politics VERY seriously. When I finally decided to play the Facebook game and promoted this blog from time-to-time whenever I had what I believed to be an important political post, several former classmates who have moved to the Southern Areas immediately De-Friended Me after many months of pleasant exchanges on other topics. Talk about a lack of tolerance! They couldn't handle my intense disdain for a political party I firmly believe is more corrupt than it ever has been. Fine that they left, as who needs people - virtually or in reality - who can't handle differences? Nevertheless, that kind of Instant Booing and refusal to communicate with someone like me is why I feel the chills whenever The Pundits chatter on about how whoever wins Ohio will probably win the presidency.
And so I appeal to any Ohio readers who have not yet voted or may be apathetic, yet lean toward Obama, to VOTE! It's important, people. Don't allow bad weather or misinformation of the location of voting venues keep you away from taking a few minutes out of your lives to stand up for Progress in exchange for a handsome guy who doesn't give a sheet about you if you don't own a nice car, live in several homes, and, most of all, will return the country to the Way It Was in the 1950's, because, believe me, that is at the core of this election. The GOP doesn't care about creating jobs or fixing the economy or helping Vets return to society with Federal Support. All they care about is overturning Roe v. Wade, and almost all of the most important social programs this country has been able to utilize in times of need. Social, not economic, focus. Now that IS NOT "leadership" in a time of fiscal crisis.
So, get out there and do your duty lest you find yourself losing your job to more out-sourcing...along with having your business/company shut down if it isn't making the kind of money Mr. Romney And Friends desire and/or deem worth keeping. When, not IF, such scenarios play out, more people will need Food Stamps...and with how Romney-Ryan loathe all of you in the 47%, expect to see that safety net blown to pieces. It will be YOUR fault that you don't have a job or enough money to buy food, either. I never, ever, want to live in a country that treats it's vets and struggling populace the way in which Romney has shown his utter disdain for anyone who doesn't have a ton of money socked-away in Switzerland or the local bank - another potential victim to the still-hidden cuts Romney has said he will make to bring the economy back from disaster.
Bottom line? Someone HAS been working very hard to create jobs with no support at all from the GOP. The economy is getting better despite the sabotaging efforts. It takes time. Don't allow your impatience with Obama and other Democrats running for re-election to blur your vision on who will be your advocate.
Politics is a Dirty Business. Most of us are sick of politicians more than ever. But, and there is always a "but," at the moment that's how this country rolls.

The Weekly Fluff
Hold onto your armchair and prepare to yawn your way into Glazed-Eyed Brain Freeze with information You Don't Really Need To Know about people who are supposedly more "special" than you, yet somehow manage to make the majority of us feel saner than we might be in our Real Lives - unless, of course, you live a life of Family Drama beyond what is considered "the norm" and have millions of dollars to throw away on expensive weddings, tres expensive exotic vacations floating around on yachts, and an obsessive collection of Birkin Bags.
First off, we have the Shocking Possible Revelation that our fav Ditzy Babe, Jessica Simpson, has a father who reportedly announced to his family a short while ago that he Likes Menz! As in, really, really, likes them - particularly if they are young - thus, his desire to divorce his long-suffering wife, Tina. If true, now we know why Jessica had the Longest Pregnancy Evah...holding onto her Womb Resident with whispers of "Don't Come Out Yet...Grandpa Has To Do It First."
Next on the list is how Prince Harry is regaling his fellow soldiers with readings from the much dissed book his Sister-In-Law, Pippa Middleton, placed on the market to tell On A Budget peeps how to have reasonably priced weddings and parties - something like that. Oh, that Harry! What a card he is. Laughter all around is the word from another Mysterious Source. Is he too making fun of Pippa, or merely showing his Hidden Lurve for her? Only his Heart Parts And Hot Pants know the truth.
Nicole Kidman is opening-up to reporters regarding how she didn't feel "comfortable" during the filming of sex scenes with her then-husband Tommy Cruisey when they were put through the hell of working on Stanley Kubrick's disaster of Eyes Wide Shut. She adds that, in general, she also didn't feel very "comfortable" with Tom during their marriage. My first question is: they actually had sex? The second question: they actually had sex? Nicole is telling us that since she married Keith Urban, she has "opened-up sexually." Well, of course she has. Ten years without sex makes one willing to "open up." Especially when there are no CO$'ers standing guard in the Cruise bedroom to ensure that Tommy wouldn't whisper the Secret Codes Of The Faux Church in a moment of Human Bonding. Also, chances are that anything going on in their bedroom involved Eyes Wide Open - with lights on. Eeek!
Breaking Newz! Prince William continues to sport an expanding Bald Spot on his head. That's okay. When he eventually becomes King, he'll have enough crowns to cover it up. (Yes, that was lame, but we are focusing on a Very Lame Story.)
Unless you aren't glancing at magazines while waiting in line at the grocery store, you could not have missed People Magazine's cover of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's 6.5 Million Dollar Welding (not a typo) with Justin placed above his new bride in a very odd leaping motion while Jessica's picture is demure and dull as she sits almost as a Lady-In-Waiting. In a way, I think the cover arrangement tells the tale of whatzzup with them. Now that the Grand Moment has been executed, they will return to their separate lives and we'll only see pictures of them walking around streets in LA every now and then to maintain their Image Of Sincere Happiness before Justin jets off to who-knows-where, and Jessica tip-toes to whatever places she likes to hide her "private life." (Or so "they" say.)
Am I missing anything? Oh yeah. Chris Brown still sees his Other Girlfriend, Tran-What's-Her-Name now that he's "single." Where's Rihanna? Blah. Who cares?
I could go on and on, but by now, if you haven't fallen asleep, you are certain to be ready to see your Dentist for that long postponed Root Canal to take away The Pain Of Banality.
See you back here tomorrow! And, as always, thanks for stopping by.

Bayonets For Sale
Naturally, being the biased person that I am, I liked what the man with increasingly grey hair had to say - such as his retort to white hair at the sideburns guy on our current Military Defenses: "You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets." He was on point most of the time. However, everyone has flaws, and he stumbled once or twice. Let's take a look at what The Truth of comments made last evening are all about: (Read Here)
I believe it was The President who showed-up for the debate; however, the Other Guy was a mere shell of himself. Could it be he sent a Look-Alike Proxy to The Last Debate of the Prez Election Cycle? I didn't quite recognize him. Red eyes, very, very pale skin, and a sudden addition of a double chin at various angles. Campaigning can be a bitch. Methinks Mr. Romney needs a long, Rumpelstilkskin nap. He'll awake in a hundred or so years to find A Brand New World Full Of Working Social Programs (in addition to a recovered economy) - if his former GOP colleagues lose their grip attempting to take away Grandma's Medicare, cutting into Social Security, and, behold - a world where Women Will Still Have Control Over Their Bodies!
The primary problem I have with all of these debates and the Monday Morning Quarter-Backing, is how tight the race is. Good grief! Isn't anyone listening to what is underneath the Romney-Ryan ticket? Both still refuse to be specific on what tax loopholes they will plug/drop/banish - among other details that a presidential contender "should" provide to the public. But no. Not Mittsky. On top of that, somewhere along the evening's Little Chat, I heard Romney mention having an "honest' relationship with America. Hah! if "honesty" means anything to him, I will continue to ask where are the remainder of his Tax Returns? Yes, my foes, I will not give up on beating that drum. If he has nothing to hide, then why has he skipped-around releasing more than the paltry two years' worth of $ Info? Hmmm?
The U.S. has only a few more weeks before The Official Voting Day on November 6. Has the year gone by that fast? Is it actually That Time Again to huddle in a voting booth? Apparently so.
Beyond who will win the Prez Race, remember that Congress is where the Obstruction Resides in Washington. Until many of the extremists are voted-out there will be battles. I wonder how the GOP would handle an en masse obstruction of anything a GOP Prez would like to do. I'm sure they would be flying all around Washington on their brooms screaming "Foul!" Wah-wah-wah! You know why? Because they are petulant when they lose; vicious in their Anti-American Agenda (how could what they have not done NOT be considered "anti-American" after all of these years?) To have an agenda to unseat a new president, as the GOP (via eye-sore Mitch McConnell - Read This) directly stated in 2009, is disgusting, dangerous, childish, and, above all, seriously dysfunctional.
I have to laugh when Romney and others blame Obama for not getting more done in four years when it is quite clear why. Romney talks about how he worked in a bipartisan way while Gubner of Mass. Good for him. He had a relatively civilized Democratic body of politicians who were willing to compromise. Thus far, I haven't seen that kind of spirit from The House and sections of the Senate in years.
So tell me. Who is fooling who?
That's all she wrote for today...

Uhhh......
There is no Wi-Fi available in my mother's apt, as she finds The Interwebs too confusing to handle, and as I don't travel a great deal of late, I have no need for a "card" to tune into the freedoms I have at home where I roam around at will with my laptop. Thus, I use the extremely nice high-tech computers available to the residents here. But (and isn't there always a "but" somewhere?) I often feel rushed knowing any moment someone will waltz through the door, giving me the ole' side-eye to hurry-up - and there are two computers here - one is almost always in use and the "open one" is the Front Row Seat at the Cyber Machine. A Hot Ticket indeed!
Why am I writing about such a mundane thing? Because, as written above, I'm barely awake and other than more killers killing; more elderly statesmen and icons dying; excessive funds being spent on celeb weddings and blings; polar ice caps melting at a frightening rate; new planets discovered every few months; tainted medicines and peanuts causing death and serious illness; daredevils leaping into free-falls in space; "doping" issues ruining a certain person's entire career; another sad suicide of a teen who was brutally bullied; whales landing on shores to their death with stomachs bloated from the ingestion of plastic we humans love to throw away in our once pristine oceans; odd news of a man who granted his wife's wish to have the imprint of her vagina engraved on her headstone so he wouldn't forget about it; bank CEO's sulking that the public didn't "thank" them for supposedly saving the economy (!!!); there doesn't seem to be much to write about this morning.
Oh, BTW, what's on TV tonight? Anything going on? I need a break from serious issues.

The Weekly Fluff
So, here we go...
I loathe to write about this Plastic Debacle, but Kim Kar-Kash-In recently
Jeez. Kim seems to have been hypnotized or traumatized or, has become a lofty puppet of a Grand Manipulator...following, of course, in the Basic Tradition of Hollywood Sexy Women who Must Be Seen and Not Heard. Really. Have you read anything "new" about her transformation from a basic Gold-Digging Famewhore to the stilted Blank Stare In The Glare Of Her SO's Halo now that she's champing at Kanye's Little Bit?
Oh forget it. I've had enough of them.
Next?
Let's see. I don't care to be redundant on subject matter, but can anyone believe that Lindsay Low-hand didn't show up for her latest gig on another mess of a film - again? Yes, I know you can believe. So, we'll leave it at that. Yawn. I think I have had enough of her as well.
Next?
Nice Mr. Almost "Old Hollywood" Tom Hanks, must want to become relevant again and show the world that his horrendous mustache wants to help everyone forget how much he looks like Walter Matthau, and slipped-out The F Word On National TV!!! My goodness, Tom. You are so edgy. You make Brad Pitt appear brilliant in comparison as he has never lowered himself to use such language in The Public Eye-Yi-Yi! Brad, however, will say "Bitches" when they are mad at him, but then he immediately begins rolling the marbles he calls his tongue around in his mouth to pop out big words that fall into vaporous nothings once released. Somehow his attempts at intellectualism are akin to putting Lipstick On A... Oh, you know what I mean. You don't? You love Brad? Sorry (not really). I don't dislike the guy; however, why must he always try to impress with using words that sound smart, but ultimately make him sound pretentious, as well as creating sentences which make no sense when a basic word will do. Oh well. Carry on, Bradley. We'll always translate what you attempt to say into the real meaning: "Hey. I'm Brad. Um. The world is crazy, man, and I likes me some good roles in films where I can look like shit - saves time in the morning when I roll out of the alley I just slept in."
Hmmm.
We have just learned that our Once Darling Britney Spears OD'd on what is reported to be at least 30 pills before she was held captive by Her Conservators. Uh, so what else is new? It was obvious she did more than just drive like a Crazy Person holding her child in her lap and running into gas station bathrooms barefoot and beating-up cars with umbrellas.
Next?
Oh, and aren't we all Just Delighted that Robsten are "back together" and everything? Yep. There are pictures to prove it. Look at your calendar and mark a Red X on the date that the PR Tours for the final Twilight flicker-flick come to an end. Give it a week after opening, and - voila! - once more, No Mo' BS about them, cuz' their contract with each other as Lovah's will be ovah! At least that's what "they" say.
Next?
Naw. I'm calling it "a day" - or words to that effect. Mebe I should give Bradley Pitt a call and ask what word would be better to explain that I'm exhausted as hell. I need more strong tea. And a mind tune-up myself these days. I'll spare all of you the Other Fluff fluffing around Celeb-Land and get back to my new job as My Mother's Keeper.
Until next time....

Blinders Full of Ca-Ca
Is that man real or is he Vintage Memorex (running on aging recording tape for those of you who do not know what I'm "saying")? Binders aside, he certainly has to be playing Ann's darling Dressage Horse while wearing blinders when wifey and husby get giddy and role-play around the house(s), otherwise, where do these ridiculous remarks come from? Obviously the man doesn't "see" very well; hence, Blinders Of Ca-Ca.
Now on to the Most Important Part Of The Debate: The Moderator, Candy Crowley. Wow! Are Mittsky's peeps more than a bit irked at her because she dared to correct Their Man over his slippery use of Quasi-Non-Facts? Miss Crowley didn't stop there, either. She sent both The Prez and Mr. Once-Perfect to the corner of the room from time to time. Now that's how to run a debate! From now on, based on how well Martha Raddatz did in her VP Debate Moderation, I think women should own that role for a while - just to even-out the lack of women in that position for almost ever until this year?
What about Obama's performance last eve? Thank the Lord Almighty-Righty that someone replaced his run-down batteries so that he could, in effect, trounce over his opponent. Pundits. et al, are talking about the "Alpha Male" attitude he exuded, as well as how he and Romney seemed to almost come to blows with their literal circling of each other as they roamed the stage. What I find so odd is how the Male Pundits are suggesting that such behaviour would be a turn-off to women. Say what? In a general sense, most women want to see "their man" stand up for himself and for them if, for some reason, they don't have the ability to speak for themselves. In fact, The Pundits reciting the idea that it might have been too "rough and tumble" for the wilting flowers of women's delicate sensibilities must not know any Alpha Women. C'mon, guys. We can take it. Perhaps you guys can't? No one who was disappointed in Obama's First Debate wanted to see another round of Mr. Polite and were cheering for him in the ring to knock The Insincere Smile off Mittsky's face.
Did Obama win last night? Yes, particularly when he began to "warm-up" in the last half. He begins slow, then builds to a stronger Sense Of Self as debates and speeches go on. It seems to be a pattern. At first I felt that it was close to a "tie" - however, when he finally found his fire and, thankfully, mentioned Romney's 47% comment, in my view, he walked away with the trophy. Last night. We have one more evening on the horizon of watching Mittsky and The Former Mr. Polite slug it out next week.
That debate, my friends, will be The One to linger on the minds of Undecided Voters; thus its overall importance. Right now we have a reasonably even score. Romney won the first; Obama finally showed-up for The Second and did his job, thus "winning" last evening. I only hope that next time Mr. Obama will answer questions in a direct manner, rather than skirting a few issues, and that Mr. Romney will cease lying and changing his position on almost everything when it suits him politically.
But, am I asking too much of these politicians? We shall see, as I often write/say/snarl/whisper. You know what "they" say: "Three times' a charm."
Have a wonderful, scintillating, day/evening/afternoon/late night/early morning.

A Bit of This, Not Much of That
I don't think I've missed very much with everyone in the media basically rehashing how tonight's Prez Debate will go; still commenting on Biden's Smile and Ryan's desperate need for water during their debate last week. Yes, Hillary Clinton is taking the bullet for the Obama Administration on the Libyan Embassy mess because, well, why not? She's not running for president this time around and has nothing to lose.
But the Most Important Story Evah is how Lindsay Low-hand had the producer's of the soon-to-be-seen Lifetime Movie Disaster, Liz & Dick, in which she looks like a bloated Low-Hand all dressed-up for Halloween, pay her rather large Chateau Marmont bill so that she can return to the scene of her numerous crimes, flitting down the darkened hallways of that Den Of Debauchery, knocking on random doors to find a place to crash for the night. Not to ignore how much fun she has driving into people in the Marmont parking lot.
One knows it's still a very slow week in Celeb-Land if that's one of the "more important" Gossip Stories making the rounds today.
In other celeb news, it appears Ricky Gervais received his Golden Globes Hosting walking papers now that it's been announced that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be taking over the gig at January's Get Drunk While Bored And Waiting for An Award, event. Now that Tommy Cruise is no longer married and could be slip-slip-slipping away from the clutches of the CO$, and John Travolta continues to pretend he isn't going bald by wearing the worse-looking wig in history all of the time these days, what else would Ricky have to offer?
In fact, I'm in Ricky's camp today. I don't have much to offer right now, either. I'm too distracted by just having a political debate with a Romney Supporter in my mother's building. I say let's find out who really has the cajones in tonight's Prez debate when it involves Truth, and go from there.
Meanwhile, when I eventually return to LA I intend to go over to the Chateau Marmont for the first time in a few years and hang around the parking lot just in case dearest Lindsay is driving again and might run over me. I need the attention from the famewhore, and I cherish being called "names" as exhaust fumes fill my nostrils from a speeding/fleeing car. Then I can complain to the media and receive the fame I've always desired second-hand from a Snotty In-Denial-About-Everything child who looks 50.
That's all she wrote for today.

Street Art of the Day Bonus Post
Artist(s) - ROA & Phlegm
Larger version of below for perspective.

A Few Words
But, Joe came through when it mattered. Finally! A solid, passionate defense and call-out on the Romney Campaign's Unfortunate Tendency To Revel In Truth-Bending – in a debate! Pushing for answers directly at the opponent's face! Laughing! Passionately discussing FACTS! In real time, no less. Amazing.
Naturally, the debate last evening won't completely Tilt The Tilt of Obama's recent lack of passion on a Debate Stage, but things for the Dem's look slightly better today than they did yesterday. Now Mr. Polite may have to sharpen his verbal knives into a very pointed tip, as VP Joe's strident refusal to allow Paul Ryan to spew more BS, made point-after-point about what even some GOPer's admit are untruths. Plain English: He wouldn't let Ryan get away with it. Period. That's all we need Obama to do in the next debate.
Will he step up – finally – and show us his fire? We shall see, as "they" say.
Meanwhile, I'm beginning my prep's today for a trip away from the City Of Angels/Devils/Money/Narcissism/Great Food/Etc. which/that/could/might/may/possibly last/continue/for a week – or more. I'll post as usual each day, although when each one makes it to "Publish" could be different than usual. But, if you've been reading TDFB for a while, you're used to late or earlier-than-usual posts from me, so it shouldn't be too askew.
Off to the packing process go I. Have a lovely Friday!

The Weekly Fluff
See? I'm vomiting on stage! Three times! You, Madge, only know how to flash your crotch! I, The Lady Of Gag-A, am just as talented and edgier than you'll ever be! Or, mebe she's preggers. Can't quite rule that out. She's gained weight and isn't apologizing for it (good for her no matter what the reason), and very well may be feeling the Celebrity Must-Have-Child(ren) itch. Hmmmm?
While people natter on about the Gag-Gag's possible "stunt-gag," the earth is shattering into little pieces of non-sense with one of The Biggest New Phenom's for Reality TV: a cheeky white trash child who says lots of astounding and, I gather, VERY IMPORTANT words to millions of TV viewers while Her Trash Mama jus' looks on and chortles over what a cash-cow she spawned. Honey Boo-Boo? All over the Gossip Sites? WHY? How many palms have been greased on this one? Puleeeze!!!!
On a classier note, Brad Pitt has decided to remind all of his fans/potential producers/co-stars/loan-sharks how he can play any part you want him to play with a pic spread in Interview which "artistically" depicts his multi-talented "looks" – without mumbling dialogue to ruin his latest attempt at relevancy. (See Here For Pics). Oh Brad, you shameless Image-Faker!
The Flogging Whip found its way to a private party for Matt Damon's birthday the other night where both Matt and his sudden "Friend" Tommy Cruisey, had a right good spanking! It was a grand relief for all involved, I was assured by The Whip upon its return, having been held quite sternly during the exciting butt-whacking by a Transsexual or Transvestite – I don't recall which, to be honest, and don't feel like doing a Google Search on what is so easy to find. Just know Matt and Tom got their butts smacked. Wow-ee!
Oh, and everyone is writing about all the engagement and wedding rings celeb women are flaunting of late. Rings-Rings-Rings. The consensus on most go like this: Oh man, Blake Lively's wedding ring is "soooo trashy"? Justin Theroux's engagement ring to Jennifer Aniston is BIG and is so gauche as to be YELLOW GOLD, of all the tacky things to wear! Natter-natter. Angelina Jolie's "Promise for the Future" ring (that has been photographed only a few times since the apparent "engagement" to Brad Pitt was
Oh again! At least six more celebrity women of Very Little Reason To Be Famous are pregnant! More Showbiz Babies. At the rate celeb's are popping-out wittle bay-beez, the film industry is pooping-out more flops ("pooping" was a typo – I'll keep it in anyway). There must be a connection somewhere? "Hollywood" is spending more time in beds and hotel hallways and elevators and mini-coopers to ensure that the Human Race will NEVER fade away!
Heaven forbid! Mila Kunis, Esquire's 'Sexiest Woman Alive', went out on a dinner date with her beau, Ashton Kutcher, wearing sweatpants OF ALL THINGS! In Manhattan, no less. Fashionista's are astounded! Why? She already wears Ashton as a drape, so what's new?
Before I go, I must mention Lindsay Low-Hand's recent brawl - this one with her mother after they went "clubbing" together in NYC. Or maybe I won't.
There's more. But we'll stop right here. All of this TMI is making me want to either buy a BIG TACKY engagement ring or wear sweatpants to a nice restaurant...just cuz'.
See you tomorrow!

'Mr. Polite' Is Now Contrite
Okay then, Mr. Obama. We're waiting impatiently here, frustrated there. According to several writers on various News Websites, those of us who have begun to Ring The Death Knell for Prez Obama's "campaign" for re-election, are simply freaking-out – unnecessarily – and should just roll with the ups and downs of what has been expected to be a tight race in November, so what's the Big Deal that Obama blew the First Debate? Patience. Patience, everyone. The election has not been won by either candidate – yet. The same Victory Romney has claimed for his debate performance could easily whiplash into Another Upswing for Obama following next Tuesday's debate. True. However, I'm not quite finished, thank you very much, although I admit I'm not thrilled to continue this line of focus, but….
It's just that he was SO BAD BY SEEMING CHOICE that people like me who pay attention to the details of political races and their participants, appeared to be hand-wringing a bit too much. Well, for anyone who cares about social issues (such as women's choices – social security – jobs that will not be outsourced even more than now – a tax reality of history that when the wealthier among us are taxed at a rate where they might have to pay more than their secretary does, the economy improves, and on and on it goes), WOULD become a tad unhinged in frustration with Obama since his in-actions and half-hearted attitude almost hands the job of Prez over to Romney as if it were one of the basketballs Obama uses while playing with his regulars almost every week. Here, YOU! Take the ball although I'm in a perfect position to make the winning shot - cuz' I'm just that kind of nice guy!
Sigh.
Meanwhile, tomorrow night's VP Debate with Joe "Loose Mouth" Biden v. Paul Lyin' Ryan, should be quite interesting for a multitude of reasons. Which ones, you ask? Oh, I can't tell you what the reasons are in detail, okay? Just trust me. I know my reasons and that's all you need to know, you know?
