Gate Crashers at State Dinner – What does it mean?

*******************

***UPDATE***

PARTY CRASHERS HAD LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OBAMA’S - SECRET SERVICE PROBABLY GOT THE OK TO LET THEM IN FROM HIS HOLINESS HIMSELF. – The crashers also part of some group called  the American Task Force on Palestine – something Obama didn’t want to get out.

Now back to the blog -

*********************

My, it is getting awfully crowded on the grassy knoll.  That is what I thought when I heard about the couple who bypassed the Secret Service to crash Obama’s pre-Thanksgiving state dinner party.

How did they get in – wondered the oblivious press corps?

Well, perhaps the Secret Service people are just as ambivalent about our president as, oh – I don’t know – perhaps the CIA agents who are getting screwed over interrogations sanctioned by the previous administration.

First, he said Gitmo would close before he knew any of the details.  Next, he had his crony release classified information on our interrogation techniques and processes.  Then, he said that lawyers who offered opinions to Bush could be prosecuted for their legal opinions.  For a finale, we have war criminals (masterminds of the 9-11 attacks) on trial in civilian court as a back hand at Bush.

These agents put their lives on the line for politicians.  As the media went into hysterics over a leak of the already leaked identity of a CIA “analyst”, there was so much concern for the welfare of the men and women under cover on behalf of the USA.

Now the Hope & Change bus rolls over them at a rapid clip and not a peep from the state-supporting media.

And the media wonders how this happened.  A few (not even close to a majority, but clearly someone screwed up) let their guard down for someone who would discard them for yesterday’s garbage and let these publicity hounds in.

They fit right in with Obama’s crowd, so it must have been hard to spot them as suspicious.

Ken Ober – RIP

I neglected to mention the death of another pop-icon from two decades ago.  Ken Ober who made one of the first non-music Music Television Network shows called “Remote Control” was found dead in his home at the age of 52 (yikes).

Here is what made him most famous -

Without Ken Ober, we may never have heard of Colin Quinn, Adam Sandler or Kari Wuher.

What the GOP needs – President Reagan – Mastermind

What the GOP and the rest of us are looking for in a president. Bring back Dutch – or even a parody of Dutch.

And you thought texting while driving was bad – Pilots overshot airport while on laptop

The pilots who overshot an airport because they were distracted by working on a new airline program on their laptops will probably lose their licenses – and their jobs as pilots.

They violated company policy and good sense by doing that while commanding an airplane with hundreds of lives in their hands.

 

Terrible Towel vs Tom Brady – Who ya got?

Last season, the Tennessee Titans defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers as the season was winding down.  A couple of their players celebrated by stomping on a couple of Pittsburgh Steeler “Terrible Towels”.

The Titans have not won a game since.  They lost their final regular season game and their only playoff game last year.  This year they are win-less and just lost 59-0 to Tom “Terrific” Brady and the New England Patriots.

Brady had 5 touchdowns in the second quarter alone.  Oh, and a “nor’easter” blew through the area, blowing in wet and nasty snow.  Who would have expected a pass-happy game?

What is the biggest factor in this lopsided embarrassment for the Titans?  The magic of Tom Brady and his teammates or the purported “magic of the Terrible Towel?

I don’t want to diminish the brilliance of the quarterback’s accomplishments, but you have to admit that things have taken a drastic turn for the Titans since last December, when they were still flying high after starting 10-0 to start their season.
