Black (Friday) Sheep

Maybe a lot of them shop for the deals, but I think most of them just do it because they think they are supposed to.

Not me.

I never shop on Black Friday, and I never will. I don't enjoy going to the mall on a slow day. I don't understand why someone would fight those crowds just to save a few dollars. Are the deals really THAT great? I don't think so. I've never heard of any Black Friday deal that I couldn't live without.

Is it worth the stress of searching for 20 minutes for a parking space, only to find one and then have someone come from the other direction and steal it from you? Is it worth arriving at your favorite store only to find that hundreds of mall zombies got there before you, and the item you wanted is gone?

Is it worth trampling someone to death?

These deranged Walmart shoppers thought so.

In another article I read about the same incident, it said that even after hearing that someone had been badly injured, people ignored the store employees' requests to stop shopping and move to the exit. Some people were still entering the store, hurrying right past the dead guy.

That's the mentality of Black Friday shoppers.

No thank you. I won't join the shopping sheeples.

In fact, I'll be shopping online again this year. :)

Happy Thanksgiving! And bon appetit!

Sarah Palin granted a traditional Thanksgiving pardon to a lucky turkey last week.

She was then interviewed by a local television station.

I'm not sure who the fool was who decided to film the interview in front of the exact spot where a man was, uh, preparing some not-so-lucky turkeys for the holiday. I'm equally unsure as to why Sarah didn't insist that they move to another not-so-bloody location.

Of course, some liberals are going berzerk, calling it a "turkey massacre" and ranting hysterically about the fact that the turkeys are being shoved into a "death contraption".

By the reaction of some, you would think that Sarah chewed the head off the turkey herself.

I guess they didn't realize that the bird we eat on Thanksgiving doesn't originate in the meat department at the grocery store.

Okay, the video is a little graphic.

But let's see if I have this right.

Killing unborn babies? Okay.

Killing turkeys? Not okay.

Here's the video. You might get grossed out. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I knew I shouldn't have turned on the T.V.

Our economy is in the tank, we are in the middle of a war on terror, we just elected a president who has a very troubling agenda, the Democrats are going to keep recounting votes until they get their 60-seat Senate majority and can screw up our country in ways that we might never recover from, and what do I see when I turn on the news?

-Rosie O'Donnell feuding with Barbara Walters and complaining about her "post-traumatic stress disorder" after leaving The View. (I've never watched The View. I never will.)

-Paris Hilton is breaking up with her boyfriend. (I don't care. Do you? Does anyone?)

-Mrs. Hulk Hogan is broke, despite the $40,000 a month in alimony she receives. (Linda, after all of the ridiculous statements you have made, aren't you embarrassed yet?)

The mainstream media refused to report most of the concerning questions about Barack Obama's past, but they will air this crap. If I wanted to hear celebrity updates, I would watch Entertainment Tonight.

Some of the same garbage was even on Fox News.

This is why I primarily get my news online. At least I can pick and choose which stories I want to click on.

ObamaBots

This video illustrates how biased the media is, and how ignorant people are, partially because of that bias.

You should have to pass a test before you vote.

These people didn't know which party controls Congress. They didn't know who Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, or Barney Frank were. They hadn't even heard of Bill Ayers.

Yet they all knew which candidate had a pregnant teenage daughter. You know, one of the important facts reported by the mainstream media.

When asked which candidate claimed he/she visited 57 states, they just guessed that was Sarah Palin. Gee, did the media do a good job of painting her as a fool, or what? (It was His Holiness Barack Obama who said that.)

Each of these people had just cast their vote for Obama.




From the How Obama Got Elected website:

Because obviously interviewing a relative handful of Obama voters, while interesting, is hardly scientific proof of anything, we also commissioned a Zogby telephone poll which asked the very same questions (as well as a few others) with similarly amazing results.

Zogby Poll

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet.....

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)

Oh, the hypocrisy

Want to be part of the Obama administration? According to the New York Times, "A seven-page questionnaire being sent by the office of President-elect Barack Obama to those seeking cabinet and other high-ranking posts may be the most extensive — some say invasive — application ever."

After looking at some of the questions, I'm wondering if Obama would qualify to serve in his own administration.

Applicants must reveal any emails, text messages or blog posts that might embarrass the president-elect, They must also report all businesses they have been affiliated with, all organizations they have belonged to, and anyone they lived with or received gifts of over $50 from.

I left out a lot, but for the 63rd and final question: “Please provide any other information, including information about other members of your family, that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the president-elect.”

Hm, ok. Can you say Rezko, Ayers, Khalidi, Wright? How about campaign contributions from unidentified donors?

I'm thinking Mr. Obama should be the one who is embarrassed.

And now for some truly terrifying news

If you know me, or if you've been reading this blog for a while, you know about my irrational, "get-the-hell-out-of-my-way-or-I-will-knock-you-over-to-get-away-from-this-thing" fear of cockroaches.

University of Florida researchers are alerting pest-control operators and homeowners to be on the lookout for several new species of Florida's least-favorite character, the cockroach.

I was already worried about the economy and a terrorist attack. And now this?

The Madagascar hissing variety, as you may have guessed, actually makes a hissing sound. Could there be anything more horrifying?

If I see one of these, I will die. It's a simple as that.

The coming Obamanation

So, I've been in mourning for a few days, but I'm back. There have been a few things I wanted to post about, but I never seemed to find the time to sit down and do it. Now I guess most of it would be considered old news, but since there are at least 2 people who would probably never hear any of this stuff if I didn't post it, I'll get you caught up.

First of all, when a tyrannical ruler with an apocalyptic worldview is elated about who you've chosen as your president, you might have elected the wrong guy. Just look HERE at the grin on A-jad's face. Yep, he's a happy man. His candidate won. Luckily for us, he's even outlined what we, the United States, need to change about our foreign policy. How neighborly of him. No doubt Obama will be sitting down at the negotiation table with him any day now.

Secondly, I wish I had time to elaborate on all of the comical displays of swooning and adoration over our new president-elect. If ever there was a cult of personality, this is it. For example, there's a new rap song! It's called My President Is Black, and is done by Young Jeezy. Who is Young Jeezy, you might ask? I have no idea. Nor do I care.

But you can even get the T-shirt.


So much for healing the racial divide, huh?

And from the "you've got to be kidding me" files, take a look at this. Soon, government employees will have another day off. Notice that they are even serving "Obama cake". Oh, the absurdity.

And to those who have said that I should give our new president-elect a chance, I tell you that I don't need to. I did what everyone should have done. I learned all I needed to know about him before the election. I know what kind of man he is, and what his plans are for this country. And I don't like any of it.

I can still say that, can't I? Do we still have freedom of speech? I know that Obama is all about CHANGE. And I'm thinking that might be the first freedom to go, as evidenced by the people he's tried to shut up already.

Two things I'm wondering:

1. How can Obama, when he takes the Oath of Office, swear to uphold the constitution, considering that he believes the document is flawed?

2. How long it will take for the Obamabots to be embarrassed to admit they voted for him?

It's going to be a long four years

And hopefully it's ONLY 4.

I'm trying not to let the election results ruin my day. I'm just sad, and maybe a little surprised, that there are so many Americans who fell for Obama's rhetoric, but didn't hear what he was actually saying.

Or didn't care.

So, here's what Neal Boortz, on his website today, says we have to look forward to:

The end of the secret ballot in union elections
A return of the Fairness Doctrine
A tax code punishing the wealthy, businesses, entrepreneurs, achievers
More federal government in government schools
Universal healthcare
Cap-and-trade policies on coal (no nuclear power, no drilling)
Supreme Court justices who favor a vaporous idea of "fairness" over the Constitution
The security of our nation and our allies (particularly Israel)--(I'm thinking he meant the loss of security. Obama has no plans to strengthen our military, that's for sure.)

I can't believe that we elected a man who lamented the fact that our constitution doesn't say anything about what the government "must do on your behalf"! That shows the intelligence and mindset of a large portion of voters: What's in it for me?

Americans apparently don't understand the principles this country was founded on anymore.

While so many people despise George Bush, they have no problem with Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Rashid Khalidi, etc., etc. But oh, that's right. All of that is just inconvenient coincidence. It has nothing to do with Obama's character. And if you believe that, I have a bridge for sale.

And while millions of people are worried and upset about the economy, no one is particularly concerned about terrorism.

By the way, if this election was not about race, then why is it that the only thing I'm hearing today in the liberal news media is how wonderful it is that we have elected a black man as president?

I mean it when I say this: I hope I never have to say, "I told you so." I sincerely hope the United States will continue to be the great country it has always been.

But I'm not feeling so good about that right now.
