Oh Puleeze!

Well this song says it all in the chorus... "Please pull your pants up!" I've never understood fashion trends... how they start, why people latch onto them with cult like obsession. First it was teenagers turning down the waistband of their shorts with the excuse that it was "uncomfortable" around their waist - yeah, sure - and now it's "men" (I use that term lightly) who feel the need to wear their pants on their knees so their underwear shows? Sigh... preppy look - please come back!!!

Phew. I was getting worried there. But CNN came through for us. I remember all those times that CNN fact checked the other comedy skits on past presidents. Oh wait, no they didn't. Does anyone else find this absolutely absurd? Puleeze!!! I enjoyed some of the comments that the readers over at HotAir.com on this "story."

We have someone in our administration who said that reading Romeo and Juliet in schools is wrong because it's "recruiting" our kids to be heterosexual????? This audio youtube video from Breitbart.tv with our own SAFE School Czar, Kevin Jennings, sharing his views.

This article made me sick. The man was an adult. The girl was 13. He drugged her. Then raped her. Enough said. You Hollywood nuts who think he should just be let go so because you want him to come back and make more "wonderful" movies - OH PULEEZE!!! Rapist. Jail. Done.

Apparently a senior exec over at the National Science Foundation was discovered to have been spending his time on his government computer accessing porn. He's since retired but here's the statement how he explains this important mission. "But when he was finally detected, he gave a 'humanitarian' defense for his actions," Trueman shares. "He said that many of these women who are posing are poor women, and he was helping them make a living." Thanks to OneNewsNow.com for the story. More details over at the Washington Times here.

Just loved this visual and the commentary. He's right - why was everyone complaining before (which they should have) but now it's ok to spend at breakneck speed. Enjoy!

I believe I can just shut this blog down now. This wins the Oh Puleeze prize HANDS DOWN (for today at least). See this website for the full dress: photos.tmz.com/galleries/emmy_awards_2009#52556

See if you can tell what's different in these photos.

Yup, there's a great example of listening right there. I'm convinced. Are you? And I'm sorry but... it's not the representative's job to try to convince the people what she thinks is the right thing. It's her job to REPRESENT what the people want. Or does that not happen in America anymore?

Oh PULEEZE... no matter where you stand politically you have to see this. Some woman in a mall decided that this gentleman's "goods" in his kiosk were "offensive" and had dealings with the mall owners to get him out of there. Horribly hateful items like a baby bib with the slogan "My Parents Chose Life. Thanks Mom and Dad." GASP! I'll admit that I agree with the interviewer here that some of the stuff he was selling is just stupid and probably didn't sell much but please... what ever happened to just walking by and ignoring it? I have to do it when I go to the mall and see half naked women and tshirts with slogans that offend me all the time. Anyway, just watch: On a funny note - check out the wallet that "came with money but it somehow disappeared". That gave me a giggle.

Image via Wikipedia I just read this article over at the Wall Street Journal that starts out with this paragraph... Last September Sen. Barack Obama promised that under his health-care proposal "you'll be able to get the same kind of coverage that members of Congress give themselves." On Monday, President Obama repeated that promise in a speech to the American Medical Association. It's not true. Later in the article it says: The president has promised that if you like your plan you can keep it. Mr. Kennedy's bill says that too. It's doubletalk, as the consequences of nonenrollment make clear. How big a fine will you face? The bill doesn't specify or set a limit. It says the fine will be enough to "accomplish the goal of enhancing participation in qualifying coverage" (section 161). Read the rest of the article when you CLICK HERE...

Vitally important discussions happening at the supreme court nomination hearings. I guess we should just be glad that everyone is enjoying the process so much huh? Puleeze!

Image via Wikipedia Yesterday I posted this post about the breaking news of the day. As a follow up... enjoy this lovely story in reaction: PETA's Reaction to fly swatting. I'm not making this stuff up folks... welcome to America.

So I guess this is breaking news now a days? If you watch the video of this interview even more "Oh Puleeze"y is the fact that the people in the room really do think it's breaking news. Unbelievable.

I know it's difficult to tweet entire thoughts in 140 characters or less but, puleeze - must every other word be an abbreviation or stupid spelling? Today we were followed by a young lady where every tweet looks something like this: Dissapointd dat r cty s so boring. Wud b hap if it wld lk btr. (translation: Disappointed that our city is so boring. Would be happy if it would look better) and my frnd n i r etng sushi (translation: My friend and I are eating sushi) It's gonna take me an hour to decode her tweets every time. Oh Puleeze! I can understand using a few abbreviations to make a tweet fit into the 140 character limit but must every other word be this non-language stuff? dat=that. The REAL word is one more letter! And most sentences can survive without the word that in them at all - try it! Even better, try typing so everyone can actually read what you're saying and, gasp, use two or three tweets to do it - that's ok too!

Oh puleeze - We just read this story: Dog Poop story Where a woman is suing a town because her day was ruined because her child stepped in dog poop.

... even better. All those "stars" on twitter who are now going to get into "social" media. They've got 500,000 followers and they only follow 15. C'mon people - what's so social about that exactly? Puleeze!

Or how about the Twitter gurus who direct message their followers consistently asking for retweets, "check out my blog" requests and such but then if you DM them back to ask the same they ignore you? If you're not in the inner "guru" circle you may as well forget that - oh Puleeze!

So I guess all the rage now is that you can become a social media expert by becoming "certified"? Since social media is a relatively new phenomenon, I'm curious... how did the person doing the certifying become certified to be a social media certfier? The best part is that to get this special certification you only have to spend... um... $1500+! Oh Puleeze!

Watch this video from the Cato Institute.  Pretty scary what is happening these days with regard to free speech and my guess is this is the tip of the iceberg:

Oh puleeze!  I've had this blog set up now for weeks and still haven't posted! That's pathetic!

Testing layout... here is some text.... trying to get this several lines long is pretty hard when you have nothing to say... Hopefully there will be some real posts soon... having fun yet?
