Con-Servatives blame Obama's handling of economy on March Madness?

Con-Servatives really need to get off the plantation and get their hands dirty from time to time with the rest of us. Yesterday, it was laughable watching a Tennessee Senator blame Obama's handling of the economy for participating in the March Madness tournament selection picks. If anyone has taken part in this, it takes no more than 30 minutes to fill out your brackets. No, Mr. President. You're a public servant. You must work. Work. Work. You can't eat, drink, sleep, piss, shit, until our country looks like Pleasantville.

And what about these Conservatives these days? I love how Keith Olbermann dubs Rush Limbaugh as Boss Limbaugh. Fortunately for Republicans as a whole, you have some intellectuals who are critical of The Boss who include David Frum. My head continues spinning on who I should be called today, "Socialist, Marxist, Communist, McCarthyist." They don't even know what these terms mean let alone having some democratic process like unions. We're not staring down the barrel of a gun when we let our dissenting voices out. Well, perhaps Texas is the exception.

The point of this blog and what I've said repeatedly is the GOP is the "Until it Happens to Me Party." They will continue using extreme policy positions to thwart common sense. When they begin suffering from misfortunes, that's when they want the rest of us to enter the picture and give them handouts. It seems we've given them quite a few handouts these past eight years.

Good to see David Frum standing up to blowhards like Limberger and I totally agree with you on Republicans choosing more progressive options when they, themselves, start experiencing hard times. Such opportunists!

Enjoy your weekend!

Hey you! :)

Like I told Thomas on his blog -- sorry I've been MIA for so long but work is just busting me to the point of no return.

I've been making a list of items to blog about but when it comes time for some relaxation ... I've just been plain lazy about things I care about.

I'll be back ... just wanted to pop my big head in and say 'hello'. :)

Thomas,

Nice reference with The Boss. I like the Linberg analogy and like that fatal crash, that's how I picture his show every day.

Stephanie,

As you used to say, where the H-E- double hockey sticks have you been? MIA is understated. I thought you went into hiding, exile, moved to a remote island, etc. Don't worry, that's why I don't blog as much either. Work wears me out and I have little energy during the week and weekends for that matter.

Thomas and Stephanie,

Do me a big favor. Please root for Gonzaga this Thursday or Friday to beat North Carolina. First, I'll win an office pool I'm in and second, this will give me bragging rights once again over Pres. Obama who picked the Tar Heels to win it all. I want to be considered a Basketball God as well. An interesting word verification for today. It's "antypork." Anyone dislike pork?
