Sheldon Adelson, the rightwing billionaire,

t
took a page from the Murdoch/Ailes playbook, when he found out he wasn't able to 'buy politicians' in Israel, the way that 'Citizens United', the Repub law allows Big Money to legally buy votes in the US. Israel doesn't allow blatant bribery, like the US, SO, Sheldon created a 'free' newspaper, 'Israel Hayom', that now has the largest circulation in the country, and just like the Murdoch/Ailes' Bullshit Mountain Empire, uses that media outlet to support his rightwing causes. SInce then he's bought two more, cuz controlling the news means controlling the sheep/people. Like FOX, he reports 'some' real news, then infuses all the other sections with his righwing political BS, passed off as 'news' and the readers get 'free crap', with their real news. It worked for the rightwingnuts in America, so why not try it in Israel, where Adelson is buying his way into politics, like the Koch bros have in America? Rightwingnut money + fake news= a match made in Hell. It works every time, as long as you have enough clueless sheep, who have no problem swallowing obvious bullshit. Too bad Israel doesn't have a law like Canada, where FOX isn't allowed, cuz it's against the law to broadcast lies, unlike the US, where, thanks to the Pubs, Big Money can legally buy votes. And you wonder why I can't stand 'em?

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
