This ISN'T Going to End Well...

So, Britney Came, Britney Saw, Britney Fled...



Also, over the weekend while on a shopping trip with her new "boyfriend" Britney spoke in a British accent...

Rumor has it that she reportedly wants to "convert to Islam and move to Pakistan" with her new Paparazzi man. Speaking of the Paps, it would be easy to feel sorry for Britney with them all over her all the time, but she really did bring it on herself. And does the girl NOT have bodyguards?? I've never seen a celebrity so exposed to the Paparazzi constantly. Most of them just go in places and go out of places without any of this frenzy!!

There's only so much laughing you can do at this stuff before you realize that this is WAY worse than Anna-Nicole and will certainly NOT end well.

On the political front, I REALLY hope that the Obama and Clinton campaigns quit fighting over this race issue because it just makes them both kind of look bad. Let the pundits do the arguing for them. Of course, I feel very strongly that one of the campaigns is at fault over the other, and this Bob Johnson guy didn't help that campaign out any...



Opinions aside, they really just both need to simmer down. And for that matter, why won't NBC let Dennis Kucinich partcipate in the debate tonight? I find him quirky and funny, and think it takes away from this whole "democratic process" to not allow a candidate, viable or not, to participate in a nationally televised debate!!

On the job front I am bored. REALLY BORED!!! I shouldn't be bored, right?? I should have a TON of stuff to do since I was out for so long, but it appears others have done these things for me... which is SUPER NICE of them, but I am seriously bored.

American Idol starts tonight and I am psyched!! Because I have temporarily lost my battle with the Tivo, I will have to miss the "Biggest Loser" tonight, as well as the Democratic Debate at 9pm (which will re-air after Idol on msnbc), but I'm not giving up Tivo!! I will not be beaten by a little box!! Not gonna happen...

Hope everyone has a Happy Tuesday!! Maybe mine will perk up!! I can at least be positive, right?!?!

AT A LOSS...

*** PLEASE NOTE POST WAS WRITTEN LAST NIGHT & NOT POSTED DUE TO ALCOHOL ***

So... evil won out over good this time around. It is certainly not over, nor is my date with beer. I just saw on the news that she, who shall remain nameless won because of the female 40+ vote and the Independants who figured Obama had it in the bag opted to help McCain instead, or other questions asking if New Hampshire voters lied to the pollsters to be more politically correct.

Basically, I think if this likeable guy...

and this likeable guy...

would just drop out of the stupid race already, Obama will win the nomination. Surely Richardson, with his low numbers will, but Mr. I'm Going All the Way to the Convention Edwards is giving me a headache!! And now, as I listen to the pundits tell me that the reason she won was because women over 40 felt badly for her when John Edwards decided to tag-team her with Barack, which appeared to be a surprise to Obama himself during the debate on Saturday, followed of course, by the crying incident yesterday all caused older women to vote for her because they felt the boys were being "mean" to her. And they voted for her in masses...

I KNEW THAT BS CRYING ACT WOULD WORK WITH PEOPLE!!

In addition, the sad part is that if Edwards had decided to tag-team Obama with Hillary at the debate, than Obama would have won tonight. I literally was devastated tonight at this result, and I absolutely despise her and her "don't treat me like a girl unless I cry and make you feel bad for me and remember that I am one" self that I could scream! But I live in an apartment complex and don't want a noise complaint to assist in the current rainstorm on my parade so I'll refrain. But if ANYBODY, and I mean ANYBODY thinks that Hillary Clinton will be able to beat ANY Republican in the general election they are crazy. She is corrupt and has FAR too much baggage. People are OVER the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton? monopoly of corruption over the last 2 decades, and it will surely take a strong and different Democrat to beat the Republicans. Even now, on Anderson Cooper (he is so hot, even though I am pissed off!!) they are discussing whether race was a factor in offsetting the polls. A normal person would be appalled at this, but I am from Tennessee where Harold Ford lost to an idiot solely because he was black...

Regardless, I am NEVER setting foot in the State of New Hampshire, because they believed a crying, wo'es me, and overdone Hillary instead of who they SHOULD have voted for. Sorry if that offends, but I seriously will not vote for her no matter who she runs against. If she wins the Democratic Nomination then I will again be in my parents good graces and vote Republican. Mark my words.

Anyway, this discussion makes me physically ill (technically not yet, give me a few more hook-ups with my beer!!) but I will not be discussing this anymore.

I would like to add, based on the fact that he has received less than 5,000 votes TOTAL in TWO primaries, what is this man still doing in the race?? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE him and I have NEVER voted against him, but do you think he is just bored because of the writers strike and looking for something to do?? I don't get it!!

anywho... i am now moving on!!

So, I would like to share my napping incident with y'all from earlier today. Well whoever said that three heads were better than one is CRAZY... especially when those heads are Thatcher, Reagan and Nelson's.....

...There I am amidst the midday nap of a lifetime, and then BOOM!!! Dogs Gone Wild was occuring in my living room!! You seriously would have though someone was trying to break in and I got a little nervous! Alas, as I bounded down the stairs from my room I found NOTHING! No dogs outside, no burglar, no people in the parking lot, no dog catastrophe going on in the kitchen... NOTHING!! Just commotion for the hell of it!

I was pleased.

I scolded to the best of my ability (ability being poor because they are my babies after all!) and returned to my nap. No sooner was I entering REM than chaos again ensued. I can't even believe I gave it another shot, but I did. This time I swear I was amid a dream about Vinnie Chase trying to seduce me... then WHAM!! Glasses broke, a coffee table turned over, an all out three-dog-freakout was going on!! I desperately searched for reasoning behind this madness, and I unfortunately soon found out...

THE WIND

The wind was blowing hard enough that it made it sound like somebody was at the door. Nothing that would come remotely close to waking up an adult, or even a normal dog, but my kids are different. Any noise, anywhere, anytime... I mean if they hear a car door opening it is complete pee-pee-in-the-floor madness. And I was mad... like furious. I am still not sure I am over it.

I am SO completely over this day. No more news, no more barking... still got beer so it's a good thing I got such a great movie to watch!! HaHa!!

Happy dreams to all, unless you are Hillary Clinton!!

PS- Do you think I could just put in "A LOT OF BEER" into my weight watchers journal & they would just calculate it?? ...Cause I lost count awhile back!!! :-)

SOUR GRAPES!!

WOW! I have been watching the news off and on today and believe there is a small possibility that I have seen Bill Clinton, FORMERLY my favorite Democrat, at his lowest point ever...



WHOA NELLIE!! Never questioned?? A Fairy Tale?? Are you serious?!?! Tim Russert, of "Meet the Press" had a response to Bill on Joe Scarborough's morning show this morning... PLEASE keep in mind that Joe Scarborough is a Republican...



Also, former President Clinton said that the media gave Obama a "free pass"... Really?? Than what is this about (dated 02/22/07)...



Oh, and let us NOT forget the e-mail from 2004 calling Barack Obama secretly a Muslim whose sole intent was to destroy America...



That and the Co-Chair of Hillary's campaign having to resign in December for e-mailing media outlets across the country sugesting that Barack Obama could have been a drug dealer, since he actually told the truth in his book "The Audacity of Hope" about his brief experimentation with drug use as a teenager, and did not lie about this particular topic when asked on the campaign trail...

Another problem Bill Clinton seems to have is that he believes his wife has "35 years of exerience", most of that being the first lady of Arkansas and the United States, versus Obama's lack of experience. Funny how he sang a diferent tune back when he was running for President...



Also, when Hillary states that Obama criticizes her by comparing himself to the great leaders of this country, such as JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr., she is dead wrong.



The only comparisons have come from the public and the media, who suggest that the hope Obama speaks of is reminiscent of the hope that John Fitzgerald and Bobby Kennedy invoked in the sixties. The Martin Luther King, Jr. comparison is also made by the media/general public, who feel that his speeches and his passion have certain commonalities to Obama's, which they do. Here is a video from an average person on these instances...



COULD THE CLINTON'S BE SPITTING OUT SOME SOUR GRAPES HERE?? I THINK SO... HEAVEN FORBID SOME BLACK MAN OUT OF NOWHERE STEAL THEIR THUNDER AND CAUSE THEM TO LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR OH-SO-"WELL RUN"-POLITICALLY OILED MACHINE. I USED TO ADORE BILL CLINTON UNTIL TODAY. I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR THIS MAN AND HIS WIFE WHO ARE CLEARLY SORE LOSERS...

DON'T BUY IT NEW HAMPSHIRE!!

... and the Oscar goes to (uncomfortable audience pause) Hillary Rodham Clinton!!

So I have been sitting here in total boredom with msnbc on in the background all day. This was all well and fine, and boring until suddenly and without notice the hardcore politico that is Hillary Rodham Clinton gets asked "How with all this craziness going on, how do you even get up to do your hair in the mornings and get out the door?" - a haha moment for sure, right? WRONG!!

Mrs. Officially Panicked Because I was Supposed to Win and now I am Going to Lose Clinton decided to drop the C bomb. Yep, you guessed it... she cried. Oh yeah... all these months of talking about how she wouldn't focus on the "being a woman" aspect of her Presidential Campaign because she wanted to be treated like the boys (One of which is Hispanic and One of which who is Black by the way... NEITHER of whom have ever expressed this as a major difference in their election strategies) is all about talking about how hard it is to be a woman running for President and now she is actually crying. I find it crazily coincidental that this occurs within 12 hours of when the polls open tomorrow in New Hampshire. Seriously... I don't like to get up and do my hair in the morning either, but I don't get emotional about it in front of the freaking world!! I don't think it was genuine at all, and it seems to have worked as that's all they have been talking about since it happened. I know her staff was trying to "soften" her image but this is absurd.

This situation reminds me of an American Idol moment many years ago when that Hawaiian girl got grilled by Simon and started crying onstage. She had done terribly of course, but she sure as hell didn't go home the next night because of the sympathy vote!! Instead they sent home somebody who was awesome!! Thankfully I am apparently not the only one who feels that this sudden emotional moment was not genuine (because that would make me a cynical bitch, which we all know that I am but I prefer to keep on the down low!), I just truly hope that the New Hampshire voters don't fall for it.

In addition, Hillary's claim that she has 35 years of experience (wtf???) is irking me to no end. I am a little unclear on how being the wife of the Governor, and then being the First Lady qualifies as true "experience" in the actual sense of the word.

I dated Harold while he was the Chairman of the West Virginia Republican Party and we discussed his job frequently. That's why, when I run for political office someday I plan on using those years as experience!

Oh, and I had a boyfriend who played baseball for all 4 years of high school, so I think that should qualify me to be the Commissioner for Major League Baseball. And come to think of it I dated an artist once too, so just call me Van Gogh from now on please!

So, when I finally decide to run to Chair a State's Political Party, become Commissioner of Major League Baseball and Artist of the century... let us all remember that my experience in these areas has truly prepared me for the job at hand.

SERIOUSLY... I am SO over the Clintons, which is sad because I really loved Billy-Bob before he lost his mind. I read something the other day that was a response to how Hillary stated she would be very aware of foreign positions thus enabling her to be prepared for an attack on the United States on day 1. Whoever it was made reference to when Hillary said she had absolutely no idea that her husband was having an affair, which was sorta obvious to the entire country. He said if she couldn't see that red flag in her own home, than how the hell is she supposed to be bright enough to know what's going on in other countries!! EXCELLENT POINT, whoever you are!!

Anywho... done venting for now! Time to go eat my squash ravioli (don't act like you aren't jealous!!). And WOO-HOO I am so excited for my main event for the night... guess who's back??
