Dumb and Stupider-er...

Is it me or does it seem that the people who hold the megaphone lately are either really uneducated or extremely out of touch with even the most mundane aspects of daily life.

What ? Well this pee-on (me), who didn't graduate from Haahvaahrd...Magna Cum Laude, just did a little quick math, and according to President Obama He visited 57 states, with one left to go and he didn't go to Alaska or Hawaii. hmmmmmmmm...
57 + 1 to go + Alaska + Hawaii =

From our Politicians...
to the people who bring us the news it seems that a lack of common sense has become epidemic...

Really ?!?!!?!
Is this the best we can do ???

Remember now these people are college graduates...

Somebody who was turned down at a job interview at this T.V. station, had to sit down and watch the person who got the job...
electrocute themselves on live T.V.

evidently it is the best we can do...

Here is an ELECTED official...a Congressman...
that believes...

I can't even imagine how it must feel to have lost an election to this man...

But if you're a fan of local news programs...
Don't you ever wonder...just where do some of these people come from ???


You would think, that being a T.V. personality she would have seen this ad...at least once...


However, it's not just for the ladies anymore...


Those are REAL ads...

Have we completely lost our minds ???
It is funny to watch...

But I contend it is much more serious than we think.

People who's opinions we respect and trust...
People who owe in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars for their 'higher' educations...
Are the very same people who, when their toilet is clogged because they flushed a diaper down it, are outraged that the plumber they called had the gall to charge them $40.00 an hour to actually come to their house, dig around in their feces to unplug their potty because they don't know how to use a plunger.

They are the people who have the nerve to charge YOU $300.00 for consultation fees, (because they have to pay for their education ya know) are then allowed to say things such as these gems...taken from a book called 'Disorder in the American Courts'.
These are things Lawyers actually said IN COURT, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters...

ATTORNEY: "Now doctor , isn't it true that when a
person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know
about it until the next morning?"

ATTORNEY: "The youngest son , the 20-year-old , how old
is he?"

ATTORNEY: "Were you present when your picture
was taken?"

ATTORNEY: "She had three children , right?"
WITNESS: "Yes."
ATTORNEY: "How many were boys?"
WITNESS: "None."
ATTORNEY: "Were there any girls?"

ATTORNEY: "How was your first marriage terminated?"
WITNESS: "By death.."
ATTORNEY: "And by whose death was it terminated?"

ATTORNEY: "Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you
performed on dead people?"

ATTORNEY: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy,
did you check for a pulse?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "Did you check for blood pressure?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "Did you check for breathing?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "So, then it is possible that the patient was
alive when you began the autopsy?"
WITNESS: "No."
ATTORNEY: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?"
WITNESS: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in
a jar."
ATTORNEY: "I see, but could the patient have still been
alive, nevertheless?"
WITNESS: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive
and practicing law."

These are the same people who have the nerve to get angry when their 20 year old air conditioner breaks in the middle of the summer when it's 105 degrees outside,
and the HVAC company charges them $10,000 dollars to pay a crew to come to their mansion, crawl under their spider infested house, spend hours in their 400 degree rat and or bat guano infested attic, and then mount a 2000 pound air conditioner on their roof with a crane...
$10,000 dollars...that's just outrageous !!!

But when THEY stand in court in their $1000 suit...

and say stuff like this...

ATTORNEY: "Can you describe the individual?"
WITNESS: "He was about medium height and had a beard"
ATTORNEY: "Was this a male or a female?"

ATTORNEY: "That'll be $10,000..."

We're supposed to thank them, and tell them how smart they are.

Not to be outdone, our celebrities have decided to jump into the fray also...


To imply that somehow this tragedy is in anyway related to to the U.S. because of our policy on Global Warming, while neglecting to mention the 1.5 billion dollars of donations that are 'missing'...
is just about as stupid as it gets...
Yet somehow, He'll get another movie gig after publicly bashing, the very people that pay an hours wages to go to his lame movies and enable him to 'earn' his $5,000,000 for a couple of months worth of 'work'...

While people like this guy...

This mogul and superstar of such films as 'Gigli', 'Jersey Girl' and 'Clerks II'....
who just received a $250,000 paycheck for an 'appearance' at a casinos' grand opening...
and was paid $10,000,000 for his last movie appearance...

Someone who just paid $17,550,000 to buy a modest 8,798 square-foot five-bedroom mansion, which he had renovated and redesigned by Obama White House decorator Michael S. Smith, includes eight baths (including his and hers baths in the master suite), a master suite with a fireplace, a projection room (said in listing information to be the “best projection room in L.A.”), an art studio, a dance studio and a gym, on the gated property with a long, tree-lined driveway; a swimming pool; a brand-new, underground two-bedroom guesthouse with a billiard room a craft room and three baths; another building containing an office/gym/art studio and two baths; and a basketball court,...

Actually has the STONES to stand up and talk for us common folk, from his Hollywood soapbox and preach from the 'Progressive' safe house that is NPR and say...

".... PEOPLE shouldn’t make such a giant profit off just moving money back and forth. And CEOs’ pay shouldn’t be 200 times the average worker. It used to be nine times."

UHHHH ?!?!!? how much was that again...$10,000,000 for your last film...lets break that down by the hour Ben...not counting the 'down time' sitting in your 'trailer'...

you know 'roughing it' between takes...and see just 'how many times that is compared to the average worker...'

REALLY !!!!
How do these people hold their ginormous craniums up with those tiny little necks...
I mean you have to have a set of clackers to go on the radio and say that to 'Joe the plumber'...

Since when has the elitist biased OPINIONS of the human freak show that is the celebrity circus, mattered in the day to day decisions of our lives ???

Since when, IN THIS COUNTRY, do the personal views of those who are so self absorbed, those who make their living getting paid thousands just to show their faces at a nightclub, those so detached from the peasants who go to work everyday for a pittance of what these vanity addicts make in an hour...
Since when does their opinion carry more weight than
you or I ???

Maybe we should stop putting people like this
on a pedestal...
Stop giving them second, third and fourth chances because of 'who they are'...
And start holding them accountable for their actions and words, with the same 'rules' you or I have to follow.

As an example to our children...that 'they' are no better and no different than you or I.

And while we're at it...perhaps we should start questioning the true motives of this group...

And begin to take back control of 'who they think they are'...
Remind all these people that just because you have a megaphone and a mouth...YOU ALL WORK FOR US !!!

Politicians and Celebrities alike...

To the politicians...'We voted you into YOUR world...
and we'll vote you out'...
We didn't elect you to preach to us with your mouth and your megaphones...so quit telling us...
as Governor Ed Rendell recently so eloquently put it...

We voted you in to use your big ears,
So you could HEAR US tell YOU what WE THE PEOPLE WANT !!"

And to the so called one hit wonder celebrities...
'We don't care about your views on politics, or global warming, or whatever other 'cause' you publicity whores attach yourselves to.
We pay you to entertain us...
That's it...when your not entertaining me go to the $18,000,000 compounds/mansions you buy, and live your life...
Out of the 'spotlight' and in the 'privacy' you supposedly 'crave'...and above all...

Quit trying to tell us 'serfs', who work REAL jobs, everyday, how much money WE should make...

Because if you're not careful 'WE CAN AND WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU CAN MAKE'...and if you don't believe us...
Just ask the Dixie Chicks...

Ask them how that 'bashing America' stuff worked out for them...
Sure Americans will forgive...over time...
But they will never forget...
And they are a perfect example of how to go from first to worst...they DO have the right to say what they want...

But so do the people who made them rich...
And THE PEOPLE spoke with their wallets...OVERNIGHT.

That being said...living this new lifestyle of accountability won't be an easy task.
We will be facing a strong head wind...
Attacks to our sensibilities on all fronts...like...

When someone like 'Snooki' becomes a multi-millionaire author, after her book...DEBUTS...
DEBUTS people...
at #24 on the NY Times Best Seller list...

Let me save you all a little money...
here's a preview of the first 'QOTD' from her new book...

"OMG, R U FKMWTS I M SO ROTHFLMFAO PMP CUZ PPL R PAYIN $ 2 REDE MY B/SH*T !!!" -Snooki

Right now,... I'm 'PIMMJALB'...
(Puking In My Mouth Just A Little Bit)...
and 'CQTMBIJNFA'...
(Chuckling Quietly To Myself Because Its Just Not Funny Anymore)...

We as a society have issues...'IMHO'

So where does the problem lie ?

It can't be money...
In California alone, almost half the state general fund is consumed by education. Kindergartens through 12th grade are spending more than...
...$40 BILLION A YEAR...,
That's BILLION with B..., in ONE state.
75% of it from the state and 25% from local property taxes.

Today, a stunning 40 percent of America's 4th graders continue to read below the basic level on national reading assessments.
On international tests, America's 12th graders rank LAST in advanced physics compared with students in 18 other countries.
And ONE THIRD...ONE OUT OF EVERY THREE, INCOMING COLLEGE freshmen enroll in a REMEDIAL reading, writing, or mathematics class.

It seems all of this may have a purpose...
as a distraction...a diversion...an illusion...
watch the shiny penny...



While we are 'watching the shiny penny', we are not paying attention to what really matters...
The other hand...
The right hook that's about to take us out for the count...

While things the people really want to know...like...

Why is this happening...(click pic to enlarge)

We are told..."oh...the birds were frightened to death"...
or "it is the result of fireworks"...or "they got to cold"...
or best yet...that "the fish were traumatized by a previous die off"...

Meanwhile... "BREAKING NEWS...THIS JUST IN...

Britney Spears forgot to wear her underwear...
(look at the shiny penny)...pun fully intended...

Some people may ask...
Hey...what's that your spraying out of the bottom of your jet???
And what's with all the pretty designs in the sky that don't dissipate like a regular contrail ????

Some of us may be interested in knowing why the media isn't interested in investigating or reporting...
Why pristine snow samples taken from the TOP of Mt. Shasta...

recently showed that the aluminum contents have been measured at 61,000 parts per billion, or 61 times more toxic than the government allows...

Or...some may be curious why this happened...

Move along people nothing to see here...

In other news...
(look at the shiny penny)

Paris Hilton and Justin Bieber are rumored to have been seen together in pubic...uhhh...I mean 'public'...
(calm down, it's just another one of Paris' bieber shots)

And in the mean time...stuff like this...


Becomes acceptable...becomes the norm...

I don't know who to accredit this quote to...but it seems to ring more true with every day that passes...

"They want a country full of immoral, over medicated, over-worked, underpaid, and uninformed Americans that cannot discern Truth from Lies.
They want you just the way you are."

Dumb and Stupider-er...

And one day...we will wake up...

And not be able to recognize WHO...or WHERE we are...
