Saturday on Sunday Roundup: The News You May Not Have But Should Have Heard

Google May Assist Yahoo Bid

Microsoft tried unsuccessfully to get a deal cooking with Yahoo! A year or so ago and now Google may step in as the newest investor to assist potential investors in acquiring Yahoo!  Look for some antitrust issue questions to pop up on this one as it would only make Google as big as a church mouse in the belly of a whale.
Well Yahoo to Google! OMG!  YOOGLE!

Our Good Friend President Karzai

You remember President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan—oh yes one of those “stans” that Herman Cain can’t “stan”.  Well good ol’ Hermie may be right on the button about this one because yesterday President Karzai said that if the US went to war with Pakistan that Afghanistan would side with Pakistan.  You see all of those “stans” can’t “stan” us either.
What they do love about us is our Howdy Doody way of wanting everyone in this peanut gallery of a world to love us and our Daddy Warbucks way of just hurling around the money like its going to solve all of the problems of the world and plant the good seed of democracy.

Well Hamid Karzai is the kid that tattles to the teacher any chance he gets.  He has been in talks with not just Pakistan but Pakistani intelligence so that make him, in this writer’s grimly sarcastic eyes, a traitorous bastard. Am I angry, young American Sons and Daughters? You are gosh darned straight I am.

I thank that Karzai needs to repay us for our trouble and raise our dead.  Here is a man who has wasted the time of this country and wasted the lives of our children.  This is a man richly entrenched in the drug trade (read opium) and apparently thinks that the death of Osama Bin Laden is a bad thing (as do the Pakistanis).

Herman, I am dead set against most of what you are about but you, the Archbishop of Anchovia, are dead right on this one.  Hilary Clinton must be gnawing on some Herman Cain Crow right now.


 Herman Cain, Lobbyist

Yes that’s right. Back in the day, when Cain was nothing more then a struggling millionaire he founded The National Restaurant Association, which grew from a struggling young organization to a lobbying powerhouse. 

For three years starting in 1996 he ran this organization.  Oh, and he worked closely with the cigarette industry to stop smoking bans in restaurants and he spoke out very loudly against lowering alcohol levels to battle the problem of drunken driving. He also was against a patient’s bill of rights and opposed increases in the minimum wage.

Well, this news explains a lot to me. I thought he was maybe some kind of weird come to life Ruckus character but no it’s clear now. He’s not a bigot. He just wants to kill everybody. 

His positions are kind of ironic to me. See back in 1994 he got into a pretty good word battle with Clinton over jobs and his position was that Clinton’s policies would eliminate jobs.

What? Say what? Huh?

That’s a pretty amazing thing that he is genuinely concerned for the jobs of the American people when just the other day he said in a Marie Antoinette “let them eat cake” kind of way that the problem of unemployment was not the fault of banks or the housing markets or wall street but was the fault of the unemployed.  If they weren’t rich, its their own fault, if they can’t find a job, get out there and make one.

Herman, you owe the Clintons a big apology.


Heavens to Huey Long!

Bobby Jindal has done it again!  He has been re-elected as the governor of the State of Louisiana.  I have to say that this is one GOPstopper that I actually like. He’s really the one who should be running for president in 2012 not these current wacky racers.  I wish him the best in his second term and I hope his can do attitude rubs off on this current batch of can’t do candidates.



Ed Toth: A Real American Hero

For  those of you who don’t know this guy or what he is about; meet Ed Toth. Ed Toth is director, of the New York City Native Plant Center.  He is also a champion of using and utilizing locally grown plants for food. 

He’s kind of a modern day Johnny Appleseed.  A devout botanic keeper of the local flora he extols the benefits of producing locally grown foods.  If anyone today could be called a real American hero then Ed Toth is the man.  Mr. Toth, my hats off to you and your seeds. Thank you for taking the time to support local growers and their local economies.  People like you are scarcely appreciated for all the good that you do for this world.

I’m just sayin…..
