Rootin' for Boogers

These are crazy days, indeed. The title Rootin' for Boogers has several meanings. From the most to least benign, you could say that these are just times of madness and navel gazing; I needed a good excuse to promote the legacy of the man I think has written the funniest books in the world; or The Republican Party is rooting for the most despicable human dirtbags on the planet to become President of the USA in 2012. Let's take it from the top of the nose, shall we?

As a follower of the economic crisis since it really began back in 1970, I am continually amazed at America's seemingly innate ability to always do the wrong thing, no matter what the situation or the long-term consequences. No matter how much the screaming pierces the eardrums of everyone within shouting distance concerning the disaster of the so-called bailouts, I cannot help but think that if Obama was doing the opposite right now, the screaming would be just as obnoxiously loud. There is no doubt in my mind that Wall Street has been the #1 enemy of the American citizenry now for several decades. The only news is (pun intended) that CNN has now become Wall Street's biggest ally in the War Against the Middle Class. The phrase is taken from one of CNN's most notorious millionaires, Lou Dobbs. I used to really like Lou, back in that faraway time before he sold out a couple of years ago. Take note of how many hours a day he was in the media before he sold out and now. He's not the only scoundrel in this story, either. Arianna Huffington and Gloria Borger deserve special mention, too, and for the exact same reasons: they sold us out for million-dollar annual incomes. We have all known for many years that Fox News is crazier than the real Looney Tunes. Now CNN is almost as crazy as they are. The really disgusting part is that CNN is still in the covert, sneaky stage, and don't forget that Arianna was a Republican for many years before she found another way to get richer as a so-called Democrat.

I want very much to like Arianna Huffington. I click on her website about a hundred times a day, and that is probably not an exaggeration. The Huffington Post is the very best central hub we have online for news that has not been shoveled through the right-wing-crazy spin cycle. The problem I have with Arianna is that she loves the biggest booger in America, the self-appointed Queen of Alaska, aka GINO, aka the Wicked Witch of Wasilla. The Repubs are trying to push a snotload of boogers for President. Jindal wants to defund volcanoes. The Newt wants to get back in power after his hiatus as a Fox News blabbermouth. Mr. Plastic, aka Mittens, may actually be the sanest one of the bunch. For all I know, Governor Hair of Texas may join the fray. That would particularly be a hoot, since the witch supported his number one opponent, Kay Bailey the Phil Gramm protege. I would like to see Charlie Crist join the Booger Patrol, but I'm afraid he's just a little too sane for the nutwhacker crowd right now. I don't think he could pass muster with the King of the Party, Mr. Fatass Oxycodone, anyway. He's too busy rootin' for the real boogers of the party to support a candidate who might actually have a brain and/or a heart.

When it comes to any subject but one, Ms. Huffington does a fine job of reporting the news and telling the truth, but that one malady is a booger. Watch exactly what happens at The Huffington Post and you will see precisely what I mean. Whenever a story about the Witch of Alaska appears, it is always on the front page if the story is not one that actually has a chance to destroy or seriously damage the arrogant, narcissistic dirtwad's national political career. If it does offer that possibility, it will be buried in some out of the way place. Pay attention to how many comments are on any story, and how rapidly they accumulate. What do you see? A front-page story, particularly one with a photo, will rapidly accumulate comments. Although the public is not privy to the hit stats for the site, I think you can surmise that however many comments are attached to a story, the hit count is about ten times that figure. Start reading between the lines and you will see that the important political stories that could possibly halt this freight train of madness barreling toward a Nazi-like lockdown of the USA are rarely posted on the front page of The Huffington Post. The ones that have little chance of having any effect other than bringing millions of viewers to Arianna's famous blog are always posted on the front page. I am not saying that Arianna Huffington wants to see Sarah Palin in The White House. What I am saying is that she wants to milk the controversies for all they are worth, all the way up until the night of the final 2012 election, presenting herself as the Queen of the Left Wing Blogs. Arianna wants to be the spokesperson for the left wing on television. She wants to add millions more dollars to her already considerable fortune, and she plans to risk the entire future of this country while she does it.

The boogers are the millionaires, people. They are the new enemies of the American public. All the political pundits on cable news are now millionaires, and they are now our enemies. Wall Street has led the way. Fox News joined up and now it's CNN's turn. The main reason I pick on Arianna is that I like her, and I really want to like her a lot more, but she is pushing me in the opposite direction. Greta may have her nose so deeply up someone's butt that she can taste the lipstick, but Arianna is not to be trusted, either. This crazy right-wing piece of trailer trash needs to be brought down, and I mean soon! The chances are that Arianna is in complete control of the situation. She knows that all the scandals and skeletons will destroy the witch long before she can do any more real damage, and Arianna is just taking advantage of the situation. On the other hand, Arianna may be taking a chance that has very little likelihood of occurring, but if she is wrong in her calculation, all of America could pay a very dear price. It's way past time for Arianna to blow her nose and throw the boogers into the trash can of history.
