In case you missed the shitstorm from FOX against VP Kamala Harris.... She made the unforgivable error os saying, ‘Enjoy your long weekend’.

 OMG! The screams from the FOX ‘outrage machine’ fired up immediately. 

How DARE she act like Americans should enjoy a 3-day weekend!

There could hardly have been more disdain if Vice President Kamala Harris had taken a torch to the American flag.

All she’d done was acknowledge a break from work for many Americans that was going to be three days instead of two.

“Enjoy the long weekend,” she tweeted on Saturday. It was a reference to a respite that would last through Monday, which was Memorial Day.

And therein resided the sin — the scandal! — according to her battle-primed detractors.

How dare she use enjoy in proximity to a date dedicated to Americans who died fighting for our country! What kind of commie was she?!?

Conservative politicians and right-wing gadflies eager for attention and poised for facile pantomimes of patriotism pounced. Fox News was all over the story, to the extent that there was any story at all. It tweeted that she had exhibited “disgusting” disrespect.

How ridiculous. And how familiar.

And you wonder WHY I hate the assholes at FOX and can’t stand the morons(R) who get their ‘news’ there?

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...
