Aunty (anti) FOX

where education ranks in the bottom 5% of the US, they just unveiled a new $60 million high school football stadium, paid for by the taxpayers, while they are laying off teachers. It just proves you gotta have priorities, and in the land that gave us Rick Perry and George Bush, we see what's important to them. It sure ain't teachers and education, cuz that creates Democrats.

from the crack news crew at FOXNews, who are always digging for the tough stories. They asked Ann Romney what she thought of her husband's speech, and waited with baited breath as she proclaimed it, 'excellent'. Details to follow. Thanks, guys...

Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago? For most, the answer is "unquestionably yes", cuz we're not looking at the imminent collapse of the banking system as well as the rest of the economy. Remember? Before he was run out of town with a 22% approval rating, Bush wrote over $860 billion in checks to the bankers, all the car companies were going broke, housing was crashing, unemployment was running rampant, we had 2 (Repub) wars going and the contagion was spreading across the world, after 8 years of Bush and company. I'd say we are MUCH better off. Not even close, but don't ask the sheep, whose view is obstructed by the rectums encasing their craniums.

 On the front page of the Denver Post today, we have an in depth article looking at the historic fires we had this year, and the politics involved. In 2005 the Forest Service commissioned a study to better spend limited resources to prevent, fight and pay for forest fires. The country was divided into 9 sections as to geography, climate, history and prevelance of forest fires. After over a year of study, and joint meetings with the BLM, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Nat'l Park Service and Div of Wildlife, a plan was presented, that had no section having over a 5% change in funding, but concentrated funds and manpower to where they could do the most good. HOWEVER, some of that money went from Repub to Dem areas, (in the West) where the fires actually occured. The Bush admin screamed, 'Politics!', and strangled the idea in the the crib, after paying for, then seeing the study. Now, we see the results, after the worst fire season in...

now that we don't have HBO, is the Bill Maher Show, and his 'New Rules'. Here's the latest, where he says the Pubs can deny evolution, climate change, human sexuality and basic economics, BUT, maybe they should 'Recall Me Maybe', referring to the guy 'Who shall not be named', but was in charge for 8 years, and changed our country forever. Not surprising though, when you consider their hero, Reagan, set the standard, when it comes to 'forgetting'. Check it out, here. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/02/bill-mahers-new-rule-for-gop-george-w-bush_n_1850250.html?utm_hp_ref=comedy

for 'most verifiable lies' in one speech, Paul Ryan put a cherry on the sundae by claiming he had run a '2 hour and fifty-something' marathon. However, when those damned 'fact checkers' looked it up, seems his time was over 4 hours, and he was forced to admit it. Once these Pubs get 'in the groove', spinning fairy tales at their convention, and appearing on FOX, I think they really forget that some people actually listen to what they say and expect the truth. Never a Pub priority, however, cuz the sheep sure don't mind.

who feels this way. LONDON -- Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu called Sunday for Tony Blair and George Bush to face prosecution at the International Criminal Court for their role in the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq Tutu, the retired Anglican Church's archbishop of South Africa, wrote that the ex-leaders of Britain and the United States should be made to "answer for their actions." The Iraq war "has destabilized and polarized the world to a greater extent than any other conflict in history," wrote Tutu, who was awarded the Nobel prize in 1984. "Those responsible for this suffering and loss of life should be treading the same path as some of their African and Asian peers who have been made to answer for their actions in the Hague," he added. If you murder one person, you rightfully are punished, BUT, if you kill thousands you should get away with it? Bush and Blair should be put on trial at the Hague, which is where war criminals are hi...

silver tongued devil of the Repubs. When asked why Ryan lambasted Obama for $716 Bil in Medicare, when his plan has the EXACT same cuts, Eric Cantor, (R) Marority Leader, replied, "The assumption was that, um, the, the, ah, again — I probably can't speak to that in an exact way so I better just not," he said. And Jon Stewart, on The Daily Show, had field day with the RNC, but one of my favorite quotes from him, after showing Romney saying he 'wanted Obama to succeed', was  "Bull- F***ing- Sh*t", as he went on to play a bunch of clips from Romney shortly after Obama was elected. Clint may have been painfully awkward, but at least his contribution wasn't just a succession of lies, like Romney-Ryan. Played great for the FOXNews crowd, though, where 'fact checking' is no big deal.

his speech was REALLY bad, when FOXNews has this to say about it. Sally Kohn , a contributor to Fox News, said: “Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold. Bottom line, those few 'undecideds' gotta look at this stuff and wonder why the Repubs are reduced to just telling blatant lies.

how good the Romney/Eastwood speeches were, at the RNC, there is a REAL number that puts it all in perspective.. More people watched 'Honey Boo Boo', an episode of Toddlers and Tiara's, that features a redneck family and their fat 4 year old. If that doesn't 'say it all', I don't know what does.

around here. According to news reports it's from the Roach Fire. Really. Breeze must be blowing in from Boulder. Am going outside to 'breath deeply'.

of whoppers, but one of the biggest had to come from the Mittster last night, when he said he had hoped that Obama would do well. Are you kidding me? Did ANYONE fall for that line, from the party that said, publically, from day one, that their Number One priority was to see him fail? AND, they've done everything possible to insure it, THEN they blame him cuz he couldn't drag us out of the hole W and the Pubs left us in. This would be funny, if it weren't so sad.

saying all the things that are bad about America. He just didn't say whose fault it is. Must be that new, black guy. Couldn't be those 8 years of Bush/Pub leadership, that crushed our economy. He's just hoping for mass amnesia, and says now we need 'an American', to lead us. Racist enough for you? Did you know that 'every day', Mitt's dad put a rose next his mother's bed? Does anyone really believe that? Yup, the Pubs do, and they believe his family is a great champion for women. Just ask him. Is totally amazing what a tough life and struggle he had, in a basement apt, as the poor son of a governor and head of a car company. Are you kidding me. People believe this stuff? Yup, the Pubs do. This is a FOX crowd, and facts don't matter. The entire history of Bain Capitol just got revised, from vultures to good guys, for the RNC crowd, who aren't real critical, as they blame the Bush failure on 'the black guy'. Mitt, the last guy standing ...

to the RNC poium, I thought it was bad for Obama. Until he opened his mouth, and talked about Gitmo and Afg. Was his speech written by a Dem? Seems like it, unless you are someone who has no idea about issues. Clint, you made a fool of yourself. Too bad, you used to be kinda cool, but as a non Repub, I loved it. Thanks.

Mitt agreed to admit that Bain Capitol is a bunch of greedy pigs, if it would help him win one or two swing states, BUT, he says this is one of his last 'core beliefs' that he is willing to change, UNLESS he needs one more state, when he might have to deny his Mormon beliefs. But ONLY if it is absolutely necessary. He does have principles...

when you look at the poor people who lost everything again, to another hurricane, and they say, 'It's just God's will'. As if God aims hurricanes at those who need some discipline. Crazy, but part of the Southern culture, where education is no big deal.

Jobs, lots of jobs. 12 million, to be exact. But when pressed for specifics and/or details, as in where they're coming from, or how he's gonna pay for a 20% tax cut, he has the same answer. Trust me. With all the stuff he pulls out of it, his ass must be REAL sore.

when Paul Ryan and other Pubs talk about how much they love Ayn Rand and Ronald Reagan. The 'God and Country' boys obviously didn't read Ayn, who was vehently anti-religious, and who 'couldn't stand' Reagan, saying, 'He will take us back to the Middle Ages with his mix of religion and politics'. It's amazing how accurate she was, in describing today's Republican party. And she's their HERO(INE)! No one ever accused 'em of being smart.

to see FOXNews, who is totally in the tank for Romney and the Repubs, complain about Dave Letterman making jokes about Mitt Romney. As if Dave, a paid comedian, shouldn't go for the laughs, which are SO easy with Mitt, while the FOX crowd stays 'completely neutral', on the 'Fair and Balanced' network. Excuse me while I GAG.

noticed that Ryan started out his speech with a major whopper, as in the GM plant that closed because of Obama, actually closed under Bush. All, that is, but FOX. I'm SHOCKED. I did like Mike Huckaby's quote, though, referring to Romney. 'If you're having a brain tumor operated on, who cares if your surgeon is a jerk.'  A lot like Boehner saying, 'No one's gonna LIKE our guy.' This just in: Paul Ryan's lies were so egregious that even FOX admitted it, calling them 'blatant'. WOW. There's a first for everything.
