Aunty (anti) FOX

In a remarkable bit of honesty, Jack Kingston, the Republican Congressman from Georgia, explained in the New York Times today: A lot of people would like to stay on the sideline and say, ‘Just bomb the place and tell us about it later. It’s an election year. Republicans don’t want to change anything. We like the path we’re on now. We can denounce it if it goes bad, and praise it if it goes well and ask what took him so long.'   The same old story from the Pubs. Do NOTHING, then bitch when the prez does something, no mater WHAT it is. Nothing new here, other than ADMITTING to the same old strategy.

when my doc called me at home with the biopsy results. Malignant melanoma. Now, before I even get the stitches out from the first surgery, they're gonna cut a few more square inches out of my arm. The good news is they caught it early, but the bad news is I have one of the nastiest types of cancer. Have always been lucky, and there's no reason to believe that'll change. We'll see...

that melanoma was just another word for skin cancer, but have found out recently, that melanoma is much more rare, and nasty. An estimated 76,100 new cases of invasive melanoma will be diagnosed in the US in 2014. An estimated 9,710 people will die of melanoma in 2014. Melanoma accounts for less than two percent of skin cancer cases, but the vast majority of skin cancer deaths. Bottom line, have been way too reckless, getting way too much sun, over MANY years.  

found out that a woman pilot, from the UAE, dropped bombs on ISIS, the clowns who continually claim that the Pubs 'War on Women' is a left-wing plot, had some comments for their viewers. "After she bombed it, she couldn’t park it," Greg Gutfeld quickly cracked. "Would that be considered boobs on the ground or no?" Eric Bolling asked. And then the whole set cracked up, cuz the boys are SO funny. More 'high class' entertainment from Bullshit Mountain. You're welcome.

recently got 'taken to the woodshed' (his words) for his CONTINUAL rants against 'all things Democrat', (cuz, in his mind, they were OBVIOUSLY gonna cause rampant inflation). Well, after being proven wrong, day after day, for over 6 years, (although his supporters still kiss his butt), today he went back to another favorite rant, that Obamacare is gonna wreck the country, as he disputed the numbers that show costs are down and many more are insured. Same old crap from the right. Make up bad scenarios, ignore reality, and then move on to bitch about something else, while TOTALLY ignoring all the bad stuff that happened when your boy was in charge. Nothing new here, as the right-wing cons 'pick and choose' the numbers they want, to justify the positions they hold, NO MATTER what the facts say.

to trash all things Democrat, Bullshit Mountain features 'The Dick' (and Liz!) Cheney, badmouthing the prez for ......, basically EVERYTHING, while several of their 'X-Spurts' bitch about Obama 'dithering', rather than the 'Preferred Pub Policy' of , 'Fire, Aim, Ready'. BUT, in a new effort to reach out to their base, FOX is reporting that 'Men With Big Bellies Make Better Lovers'. (Really, I can't make this stuff up.) AND, to tantalize their base even further, I predict there will be a new FOX study that proves large-breasted women prefer double digit IQ's and tiny dicks. FOXNews, the joke that keeps on giving...

cuz Tammie recommended it. "This Is Where I Leave You' is about 4 siblings who spend a week together, at the family home, after their father died. Thought it might be a bit 'too close to home', but it was well done and we enjoyed it. Wouldn't give it an A+, but has a great cast and moves right along, with interesting characters and some good laughs as well as some serious content. Was never bored and made for some good discussions, which are signs of a good movie. Thanks, Tammie....

after ALL the years in the sun, without sunscreen, but was still a bit of a shock. When I got my first physical after becoming eligible for Medicare (I'm OLD), the doc looked at a splotch on my arm and called the nurse, asking for his next available appt, so he could cut it out, ASAP. Today he removed a section a little over an inch by 5/8 inch, and sewed it up with 7 stitches. He said it was 50/50 that it was malignant, and we'd know in about a week. I thought it must be pretty common in people my age and asked how many he did, like this. He said one last year and this was the 2nd this year. Hmmm. It kinda got my attention. PS. I wanted to distract myself while he cut it out, so looked at the music on my phone and decided on 'Comfortably Numb', (by Pink Floyd) which I hoped my arm was. My doc liked the choice and we listened together, while he cut and stitched. Am feeling a bit queasy now...

would have you believe that students and teachers in Jefferson County, CO, are demonstrating because they don't like the idea of, 'promoting citizenship, patriotism, essentials and benefits of the free-market system and respect for authority' BUT, the real problem is because a small group of very well organized Tea Partiers took over a school board election, with very low turnout, and they're trying to re-write the curriculum. Their first act was to hold an illegal, late night closed door meeting, where they hired a lawyer, with school district money, to defend their illegal actions. They are now trying to remove 'less than ideal' parts of US history from the teaching material and are trying to teach that 'any kind' of civil disobedience is WRONG. In an unprecedented result, they received a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT vote of 'No Confidence' from the teacher's organization. That means they had ZERO support from the people they are trying to railr...

was classic. The 2 Texas(R) congressmen, whose main contributors are ALL 'Big Oil', are fighting climate scientists, because the scientist's jobs, (according to them), 'depend on scaring people', SO, the Pub jerks discount the science, INSTEAD of their contributors. And the FOX sheep say 'Amen', as always. instead of believing 'scientific facts'. Never mind. They're sheep, who believe what they are told. Nothing new here....

the HUGE divide between Pubs and Dems boils down to one major difference. The Pubs have a problem with what's GONNA happen with the Dems in control, (cuz they believe FOX) as per economic problems (inflation, etc), which hasn't happened, and there's no evidence it will, six years into a healing process.  BUT, they have NO PROBLEM with what ACTUALLY happened, (economic meltdown) when their boy was in charge. HUGE difference. Reality vs Bullshit Mountain. Nothing new here, BUT, is interesting when you look at the FACTS. Once you find millions of people who actually BELIEVE the Noah's Arc story, you have an audience who will believe ANYTHING, reality be damned. Political BONANZA, for the Pubs, with an audience who have no problem with fantasy, presented as fact. PERFECT, for FOX....  

FOX, the 'Fair and Balanced Network' who never had any problems with the multiple disasters of the Bush administration, continues their 'unbiased' reporting with, 'Americans Are Passengers on Titanic With Obama at Helm'. Yup, the clowns at Bullshit Mountain obviously want a captain like GW back in charge. Do they think no one remembers 2008, after 8 years of Pub rule, when W gave the banks over $865 BILLION to keep the country from imploding, while two 'unpaid for' wars were raging?

said healthcare costs in the US rose at an annual rate of 1.8%, the lowest rate in decades. BUT, will the 'sky is falling' Pubs admit they were wrong when they claimed soaring rates and a clogged system (which also didn't happen) after Obamacare took effect? Of course not. Just like they don't reply to NOAA's numbers on the climate that show record heat on the planet after they claim a leftwing conspiracy/hoax. OR, will they admit the 'rampant inflation' from the Fed's policies, which were nec to save the economy after the Bushies wrecked it, never came to pass. They scream and yell, predicting all kinds of chaos, unless they get their way, THEN when it doesn't happen, they just quietly sit on their thumbs and spin. Nothing new here, but it does get old.

has to do with Cory Gardner's ad against Udall(D), that said he voted with Obama 99% of the time, 108 out of 109. BUT, this was 'hand-picked' votes. they don't mention this was out of 219 votes, and in MANY of them, Udall split with the prez. Same old shit from the Pubs. Just as FOXFUXw/FAX, so do Pubs in state elections.  Nothing new here, as the sheep fall for this crap....

that Ive been working on. Happy wife means happy life.  If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. SO, am making the effort. Works for me.....

for US Senate, running against Mark Udall in COlorado, gave a major speech yesterday, slamming Udall and Obama for stopping the Keystone pipeline. But, as always, there are a few things he DIDN'T say. The pipeline has been stopped by the (R) State of Nebr, because they don't want it. ALL my relatives(R) in Nebr, that I have spoken with, are adamantly AGAINST it. It is Canadian oil, shipped across the US, for world markets, that may rupture and ruin the groundwater. It doesn't help the US at all, except for the few temporary construction jobs it provides, and, OH YEAH, the Koch Bros who get the contracts (profits) for the pipleline and the terminal in Texas, where it LEAVES the US. Typical Pub propaganda, that glossses over the facts, blaming Obama for a Pub problem (like Iraq), with huge profits for the 1%. Nothing new here...

other major journalists, incl Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert and myself, stating that FOXNews is the largest single reason for political 'polarization' in the US, today. Really. I don't think there's any other person or organization that even comes close. I was gonna call them a news agency, but Bullshit Mountain morphed out of that description long ago, although they do include a glitzy background, along with a huge crew, dominated by bimbos and old white guys, as they use a news(?) platform to disseminate their propaganda, with the funniest EVER motto, of 'Fair and Balanced' to describe their unique brand of swill. BUT, if I gotta explain it, you wouldn't understand it. Nothing new here, but there's a reason the biggest talk show/comedian/commentators have a common foe. The overflowing colostomy bag known as FOXNews exists for one reason only. To defeat Dems while promoting Pubs, by whatever means they think they can get away with. To think there are thos...

I have tried to enlighten the sheep, who just don't care, as long as they get what they want, from Bullshit Mountain. BUT, I have a new tagline, which I am documenting at this point. FOX FUX w/FAX. Perfect! Concise! FOX FUX with FAX is my contribution to reality. You're welcome.

know better, BUT, the real experts in the field just released the newest climate figures. The planet just had its hottest summer on record, according to data released Thursday by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center. It's also well on its way to having its hottest year ever, said climate scientist Jake Crouch of the data center. The global temperature for summer was 1.28 degrees above the 20th-century average of 61.5 degrees. Records go back to 1880. Climatologists define summer as the months of June, July and August. This won't stop Bullshit Mountain(R), from skewing the numbers (in favor of Big Oil) and feeding the sheep whatever 'facts' they want them to believe. BUT, for those of us in the real world, who care about the future, this is rather sobering news, and it confirms what we were told on our Alaskan cruise this summer, where our ship had to go nearly 2 miles further up the Tracy Arm fiord, compared to earlier years, to see the same glacier, as it con...

a Ken Burn's documentary about Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. An AMAZING American family, with boundless energy and intelligence. Teddy was the consummate Repub, with a blood lust, as he killed thousands of animals and started a war, with Spain, just so he could fight, cuz he felt his father had dodged the civil war. The big difference? He saw the huge divide between the rich and the common people, and fought to bridge the gap. He created fed agencies to protect the land, air and water of the US, instead of fighting enviromental policies, like modern Pubs, and created national parks and wilderness we still enjoy. Today's Pubs live to WIDEN the gap between the 'haves and have-nots', as they try to kill the govt agencies that protect us from graft and corruption, with a mantra of 'drill baby drill', on public lands. Fantastic documentary that everyone should see....
