Too Many Monkeys
June 28th, 2011
It’s too-many-monkeys-Tuesday, Truthseekers! Wow, what a news-day. The corporate media has been beside themselves trying to juggle all the juicy tidbits of the Blagojevitch conviction, the new al-Quada threat, the riots in Greece, the nuclear crisis at Los Alamos, the hotel bomb in Kabul, the Casey Anthony trial, the resignation of Herman Cain staffers, and Obama’s plea for patience with the staggering economy.

All are up for discussion tonight, along with Presidential hopeful and Christian lunatic Michelle Bachman’s latest verbal gaffes. It’s one thing to confuse John Wayne, legendary film star with John Wayne Gacy, legendary serial killer. But if she can’t correctly discuss even the most basic facts about our nation’s history, what does that say about her political bona fides? In her latest assault on American history, Bachmann claims the founding fathers worked tirelessly on the issue of slavery until it was ended. That would’ve been in the 1770′s.

“We know we were not perfect.” Bachman screeched. We know there was slavery that was still tolerated when the nation began. We know that was an evil and it was scourge and a blot and a stain upon our history. But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.”

The founding fathers ended slavery. Gotcha. Guess it only took them 100 years. Seems she’s forgotten that pesky ol’ Thomas Jefferson/Sally Hemming tidbit. And that Abraham Lincoln (hardly a founding father) wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. During the Civil War – not the Revolutionary War. It’s hard to keep your facts straight, what with all that Botox floating around in your frontal lobe. We understand. There’s American Exceptionalism, and there’s American Revisionism. Seems Michelle has thrown both into the mix-master and come up with her own special brand of US History. Dubya Redux, anyone?

Another GOP Presidential hopeful, extreme Libertarian nutball Ron Paul, made a little news himself with his solution to the US debt problem – we should just declare bankruptcy.

“We owe, like, $1.6 trillion because the Federal Reserve bought that debt, so we have to work hard to pay the interest to the Federal Reserve,” Paul said. “We don’t, I mean, they’re nobody; why do we have to pay them off?

There’s a campaign slogan you don’t often see on a bumper sticker. “Vote for Me and I’ll Bankrupt the Nation!”

Too many monkeys, indeed! Join Mike tonight for three hours of fun and frivolity, call 877-996-2556!

34. Good evening ralps and Fellow Truthseekers!!
Hoping that everyone is well :hi: :hug: Listening outside while cutting the spiderworts, damaged by hail and winds.

I love this time of year!!! 2 days ago we saw a very large bird fly into the trees at the back of our property. We were torn between whether it was a young black vulture or a wild turkey. When she finally extended her neck - young wild turkey hen roosting. The songbirds are out in force, and some of them have juveniles, I'm feeding ducks from the porch, the frogs are croaking, and the bats are out!!! :bounce: woohoo: :toast:

Oh, the mr. bought a mineral block and a salt block 4 days ago and we saw the first deer licking the salt block today.

The middle child is who knows where again. He responded to a text message from the mr. stating that he's at the state park where Charlie works with Lindsay (from IN) so the mr. is at the park looking for him, as is Charlie, and the park ranger who is friendly with the mr.

We'll see.

44. Hey spiderpig!!
Long time, no see...hoping that you're well!! :hi: :hug: The frog pond that we put in seems to be working as we're not finding them dead in the pool skimmer anymore, but they're noisy at their pond. :woohoo: We did have a HUGE bullfrog in the pool a couple of weeks ago that we had to physically swim with to get out, but he/she wouldn't have gotten caught in the skimmer anyway.

I've seen the ospreys out flying, but unfortunately, the top of the dead tree that we used to watch them eat fish from was blown away during the storms in April.
