MADDENED
Madden is doing the play by play again on NBC while I await SNL. Its in the seventy fifth overtime or something. I gave up on football after the Vikings made it to the super bowl for the fourth time and lost. But I would be wooed back to watch Madden.
Two great Generals recently described Feith as the single dumbest m....t.....f cker they had ever met. As far as football goes, they never met Madden by others.
Madden will use some computer squiggle and diagram plays for you. He will x out the entire goal area and tell you that this is where the offense has to go, or they will get no points.
He will show you how a defense might keep you from getting a first down by not letting you move the ball down field.
If you have a three year old boy, Madden is fun to watch. Although the three year old will, from time to time, point out how repetitive Madden is. But the boy will not be lost as far as the game is progressing and neither will your dog.
While watching this football tie progress, I thought of w.
Stewart has oftimes chided w for talking to his constituents like they were three year olds.
Naturally that is because Stewart has a three year old and he will even admit that is one of the many reasons his show works.
But w has said things like 'I am the Decider". Or 'America is the best place to live.' Or
'we are at war with terrrrrrrrrists.'
Now everyone knows that we live in a nice place.
But a war on terrorism is a ridiculous mantra. Terrorism will always be with us. Terrorism was with us when Cain hit Abel over the head with a rock when Abel's back was turned.
Terrorism was with us when Alcibides would change sides during the Peloponesian Wars and be paid as a military advisor. He did not even need monies from MSNBC.
Terrorism was with us when Caesar invaded Gaul. Pick which side you feel were the real terrorists.
Ghengis Kahn and his brother Don kept on keepin on and terrorized all of Asia.
Ghengis' grandson appears to have been a civilized ruler but even he had to keep a sharp eye toward the terrorist.
Dicky and w keep telling us that we can have our constitutional rights restored as soon as the War on Terrror has been won by the good people.
w has told us that he has political capital and he wants to spend it. He pretends that prestige is like a bank account. And now he will spend that capital, so to speak.
All w has needed over the last eight years was a magic marker and a board so he could splain what was happening in this country.
Do you realize that only Stewart attacked this idiot on this point? Where was Gregory?
Why did he never stand up at a press conference and inquire "Why cannot the President to us like we are adults?"
"Why does the President talk to us like we are the first graders at his reading lecture on 9/11/01?"
Why did Gregory not object or at least make an inquiry?
Harry never spoke to us like that. Ike never spoke to us like that. JFK never spoke to anyone like that. Ask Caroline.
LBJ would never have thought that he would get away with that type of speech.
Nixon seems like Diogenes compared to this idiot that we are still forced to call Commander in Chief.
Clinton did not lie to us like that. He did not say, 'I did not have coochy coo with that
woman."
We let this son of a bitch speak to us like we were unread. Like we were ill educated. Like we were w.
I am the decider. WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?
If Gregory would have once, just once, stood up and said WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN? we might have had a different history.
I despise w. But I really despise Gregory. The man who loved to dance with Rove.
AND GREGORY GETS TO HOST MEET THE PRESS.
During this new year, why do we not all send emails to NBC and tell them what a horse's ass Gregory really is.

Good rant. I do not plan to watch MTP. I can't stand Gregory either.

Well thanks for stopping by. No. I am not ok. I got mad at Madden, at NFL, at NBC and at Gregory.
Wait a minute. That woke me up.

Ok, I went over there and admitted I have an addiction to TPM!

I suggest Thera treat this as analogous to what an old friend of mine used to say regarding alcoholism: "Call yourself a drunk, not an alcoholic. That way you can skip the meetings". Of course I may just be enabling Thera here. Sure would miss her if she kicked the habit.

I already said over there that I feared nothing would help.
I'm afraid it's an addiction without a solution. I'd miss it too - if I kicked the habit.
So I'll just attend the "meetings" for the fun of it. It's nice to be around other addicts. :)

The great things about socializin' with addicts is that there is always one who makes me feel better because at least I am not THAT bad. :-{)>

That's great. Because it really means no one is too addicted to belong. Sounds like some sort of circular reasoning... but perhaps that's part of the addiction.

Great read. Especially this:
For some reason I thought of game of darts or pin the tail on the donkey. Find the real terrorists.

Great rant!
And your point about the war on terror being interminable by definition is extremely accurate, unfortunately.
Maybe you just need to play the game. Simply declare Bush et.al. "enemy combatants, have them renditioned somewhere and get on with life in the real world once again.
Hell, maybe we can send Madden right along with 'em!

Thanks Sleepin, your cite site was written before I got into this blog. That is terrific. It is the best idea I have seen so far for executive orders.
Make all these bastard enemy combatants.
No civil rights, no constitutional rights, no attorneys, no right to go to court.....until the war on terrrrrrrrism is over.
Well before me.
That was beautiful and tomorrow I will look for all your old stuff, at least old for me.
You made my night.

Nice post DD. Rec'd for Nixon as Diogenes compared to w alone.

Just watched this Dick for the first time. All I can say is that if he ever thought to grill the previous administration like he was grilling Harry Reid this morning we might not have invaded Iraq on false premises.
I don't like the way things are going in Illinois, but watching The DICK grill Reid over comments on how successful the war is, vis-a-vis Reid's previous statements to the contrary was enough to make me want to reach out and bitch slap the asshole. Is it this DICK's opinion that we 'won' in Iraq? I had given up long ago on the dead asshat he replaced. Now I know I don't need to watch this new asshat either.
Enjoy.

Thanks Tim. But can you come up with a better disparaging moniker than DICK. Its a personal thing.
hahahahahhaha

"Asshole" is my choice, but we should be sure we mean Gregory is a dumbass, not a smartass.
January 4, 2009 11:40 AM | Reply | Permalink
No doubt Gregory is a suitable replacement for the Potato Head. It takes a smart, persistent and brave man to follow an anchor who has enough clerks and assistants to look up whatever "controversial" thing some pol was thinking immediately before committing adultery 10 years ago or saying something bad about an adversary during election 20 years ago or whatever nonsense that is completely irrelevant. And give good stink eye when dredging it up on sunday morning.
Or is it still too soon?

Either you've seen these or they won't do much to make you feel better, but I thought I'd share:
http://www.dickipedia.org/dick.php?title=David_Gregory
http://prolefeed.tv/2008/09/06/journalists-swing-the-tire/
(David Gregory shows up about half way through the video).
I spit out coffee at the TV when they announced Gregory was getting MTP - I hope Russert haunts him.

Burny, the video was great. But the line from Diki is the best:
The discipline and vigilance Gregory displayed in being careful never to say anything insightful or original about politics impressed the NBC higher-ups.

I am just so amazed an impressed that you could actually STAY UP FOR SNL! I didn't even make it past 10 on New Year's Eve!
Gregory is more than an ass-hat. He is totally clueless and is a narcissistic nincompoop! He can't even ask a question without loading it with the answer he is looking for: To Harry Reid -- "Do you have any regrets about the criticisms of George Bush, like that he is the worst President ever?"
Well, for once, Harry didn't let us down. He said he didn't regret it, and he said it over again. I wish he had spelled it out for Mr Hairspray, but he was effective enough.
PS -- Was SNL any good? Who was the guest host?

SNL was a repeat from November, I think. But I had not seen all the bits. Biden--the pretend Biden-- opened with hoof in mouth disease. It was ok.

I like this one. I hadn't thought about the manner in which Pres. Bush talks to us, but it occurs to me, it is like he is talking to us as through we were first graders, as that is basically his operating level cognitively, except for a few bursts of evil cunning, mostly incited by other affiliates.
The whole terror thing made it possible for this administration, (think Rove/Cheney mastermind), to start their giant wave of FEAR Mongering, which has done a masterful job, when combined with other things they've done, of keeping the American public individually and collectively in a state of disorganized and somewhat immobilized chaos.
As you were...

What really griped me was the color chart or alarm or whatever the hell they called it. The terror level would always reach 'agent orange' or bright orange red or something just before elections.

Listening to someone talk at a grade school level discourages adults from talking to them. What's the point. You already know they lack the capacity to understand.
