Punch Drunk

tantaros712b

“Let me tell you how journalists are being treated these days: They’re being stalked, they’re being spied on.  This is what is happening to our press.  This is Obama’s America!  It’s like the Soviet Union.  He said he would change the country.  He said it.  He said it.  And a lot of people voted for him.  And if you see any of those people today, do me a favor: punch them in the face.”

– Andrea Tantaros, hostess of “The Five” on FOX News, on May 23, reacting to the Justice Department’s probing of the Associated Press.

She was careful to add later that people shouldn’t attempt to strike Obama directly, but go after the low-hanging fruit: those of us who voted for him.  She’s actually kind of cute.  I’d like to meet her in a Wal-Mart parking lot where she can smack me around all she wants, if it’ll make her feel better.  Oh, yes, baby!  And, make it hurt, too!

Crotch Shot

“I want to shoot her right in the vagina and I don’t want her to die right away.  I want her to feel the pain and I want to look her in the eyes and I want to say, on behalf of all Americans that you’ve killed, on behalf of the Navy SEALS, the families of Navy SEAL Team Six who were involved in the fake hunt down of this Obama, Obama bin Laden thing, that whole fake scenario, because these Navy SEALS know the truth, they killed them all.  On behalf of all of those people, I’m supporting our troops by saying we need to try, convict, and shoot Hillary Clinton in the vagina.”

– Radio talk show host Pete Santilli, who also accused Clinton of drug trafficking while still living in Arkansas.

Santilli previously espoused conspiracy theories involving the 09/11 terrorist attacks and claims that former President George H.W. Bush was involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Thoughts and Prayers for Recent Tornado Victims

sail-around-cloudy-sky

“The sky the cloud brings,
In turn she sulks and sings,
Tear drops of her sorrow,
Drips from her tomorrow.

Her air she plenty knows,
Rides above winds she rose,
Lash the skies with ease,
Then dies down as she please.

Down field and pipe pours,
Draws her tears to yours,
Tries not release a drop of rain,
Slipping her cloud again.

Tearful cloud now free,
Them others cry unlike thee,
Now she will not sulk but sing,
Clearing skies will bring.”

“She Sulks and Sings” – Poetry’s Amateur

Best Quote of the Week

bangladesh-building-collapse_66687_600x450

“How many brothers and sisters find themselves in this situation?  Not paying fairly, not giving a job because you are only looking at balance sheets, only looking at how to make a profit.  That goes against God!”

– Pope Francis, about the fire and collapse of a garment factory in Savar, Bangladesh that killed over 1,100 people on April 24.  The calamity already ranks as the worst industrial accident in history.

Laws were enacted over a century ago here in the U.S. and other developed nations to prevent such work-place disasters.  Corporations screamed and hollered that regulations would impact their profits, which in their pathetic little minds, is so much more important.  I guess that’s why such companies as Wal-Mart and the Gap Corporation keep shipping jobs over there.

Worst Quote of the Week

Michele-Bachmann-20601017-2-402

“I will tell you, as I have been home in my district, in the sixth district of Minnesota, there isn’t a weekend that hasn’t gone by that someone says to me, ‘Michele, what in the world are you all waiting for in Congress?  Why aren’t you impeaching the president?  He’s been making unconstitutional actions since he came into office.’”

– Rep. Michele Bachmann, to a “Tea Party” crowd outside Capitol Hill on May 16.

Minnesota’s resident lunatic joins such geniuses as Texas’ own Louie Gohmert in entertaining the concept of impeachment proceedings against Obama over the ongoing Benghazi mess and the new scandal involving the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups in recent years.  The “Tea Party” gang suddenly feels victimized – like evangelical Christians – by an allegedly oppressive American oligarchy.  They’re obviously just looking for any reason to get Obama out of office.  I have 2 words for them: PRESIDENT BIDEN!  Hell, that even scares me!

Smartest Quote of the Week

Robert_Gates,_official_DoD_photo_portrait,_2006

“It’s sort of a cartoonish impression of military capabilities and military forces.  The one thing that our forces are noted for is planning and preparation before we send people in harm’s way, and there just wasn’t time to do that.”

– Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, on the Benghazi incident.  In an interview with CBS News last week, Gates said he would have handled the response to the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi in the same manner as the Obama Administration.

Considering that Gates was at the helm of one of the worst international incidents in American history – the Iraq War – that certainly says a hell of a lot.

Dumbest Quote of the Week

anna-pierre

“I am a true Christian woman.  Not only am I covered under the blood of Jesus…I am swimming in it.  My Jesus has control over my life & the title of mayor doesn’t define who I am as a person. North Miami chose ‘Luciefer’ over Jesus.  Thank you for your trust & support, your final contribution, and most importantly – your prayers!  I have lost a hard fought battle but not a war.”

– Anna Pierre, a North Miami, Florida mayoral candidate on her Facebook page.  Pierre had declared at the start of her campaign that Jesus had endorsed her candidacy.  On May 14, she received 56 votes and lost.

Run, Anna!  Run!  There are only 56 people in North Miami who believe in Jesus!  That means 60,087 people in your city believe in Luciefer!  You’re outnumbered, girl!  Don’t ask questions!  Just run!

Strangest Quote of the Week

pablo-pantoja

“Yes, I have changed my political affiliation to the Democratic Party.  It doesn’t take much to see the culture of intolerance surrounding the Republican Party today.  I have wondered before about the seemingly harsh undertones about immigrants and others.  Look no further; a well-known organization recently confirms the intolerance of that which seems different or strange to them.”

– Pablo Pantoja, announcing his resignation as Director of Hispanic Outreach for the Republican National Party in Florida.

Pantoja cites the RNP’s inaction on immigration reform as a catalyst for his decision, but says a report by the extremist Heritage Foundation that suggested Hispanics have lower IQs finally just pushed him into the other camp.  These days a southern Republican switching to the Democratic Party is like an Indian joining Custer’s army.  I know a few Hispanics who vote Republican on a regular basis – including some in my own family – but I love them anyway.  I keep saying that immigration is not the only issue affecting Hispanics.  To most of us, the economy and jobs are top priority.  And, since the Republican Party seems hell-bent on doing nothing about that, their “outreach” efforts will keep falling on its collective ass.

Thanks to all who have served in the military, here in the U.S. and across the globe.  Remember, freedom is never really free.

Wolf lovers…give it a rest.

Indeed, sport hunting is a misnomer. I’m sure if animals had their chance, they’d take humans out in an instant.

Mike Grant's avatarMike Grant - Author

 

Your bleeding heart blogs, comments, and photographs of butchered lobos are wasted on those who should be taking notice. In fact these outcries provide a particular and peculiar self-satisfaction to those who participate in this noble sport of wolf hunting…wait.

Sport? I must be clear on the precise meaning of the word before I fling it about. This is only one definition, there are plenty more…most with the same characterization.

Sport: Noun, an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes in play against another or others equally equipped in an environment designed to provide a level playing arena.

I can’t honestly say that I recall seeing any wolves or wolf videos that showed them in possession of high-powered semi-automatic assault weapons with scopes that can pick out footprints on the moon. To be fair and clear, I’m not saying there aren’t any…just that I haven’t…
