When did Chris Mathews become a Alcoholic Homeless Woman?

Just thought I would throw that out there…

The only thing missing is a “40” wrapped in a brown paper bag and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

Passing time watching MSNBC, trying to hear someone say Obama did well…

(Update:  I’ve been told that the Decade old crumpled suit and “look like you just spent the night in the trunk of a cab shaking off a bender” is all part of a schtick MSNBC uses to separate their personalities.  Maddow is the petulant Prepubescent boy, Al Sharpton is… well, Al Sharpton.  And, Mathews is the Homeless Woman with the complexion of a worn out Leather Purse and Smokers Growl.  All Cartoons… which I’m told makes it easier for their audience to comprehend.  It’s something to do with the target demographic spending too much time in their parents basements playing video games.  So… I get it now.  Thank you all for the clarification.)

But some things still make me laugh, and seem strangely relevant today.

Runaway Speculation…

Since once again we are witnessing runaway speculation regarding what has happened in Boston, I ask if any of the media will hold those who said outrageous things accountable for their comments?

I am a HUGE supporter on the First Amendment. I believe that idiots have an absolute right to say whatever they wish. However, they do not have the right to stand unquestioned or un-confronted by their own words… or, for that matter, un-offended by our outrage because of their remarks. This rule particularly applies to our elected officials.

Politicians have a microphone, read amplifier, to get their stupidity out to the nation as quickly as possible. They also have willing accomplices in the media who stand poised to use the next tragedy to demonize those they disagree with.

I will watch hopefully that these fools are called out publicly by their peers for their latest iteration of foolish behavior.

There is no better time to fire up the Lexus-Nexus and apply the Power of Shame.  If we don’t, this behavior by those we rely on for “facts” will never stop.

What happened in Boston is horrible. Those who wish to jump in front of the facts and indict ideologies they oppose as the underlying cause are equally as horrible.

We don’t know the “why”. Chris Mathews does not know the “why”. Socialist Representatives do not know the “why”. Bill O’Reilly does not know the “why”.

It could be anyone from a National Socialist (Nazi) to a Theocrat (Islamo-Fascist). An Eco-Terrorist (ELF) to North Korea (Un). You don’t know. I don’t know.

But while we’re all distracted by irresponsible conjecture, the boatload of bad ideas is still chugging through the House and Senate.

Gun Control, Amnesty, Gold Crashing and Fiscal Suicide…

If I have to get an extra TV, that’s what I’ll do to pay attention to ALL OF IT.

This is a perfect time to start deciding who you can trust… judged by their prognostication.  If their wrong, you should think about putting your trust in another giant talking head.

Multi-task.

Make an Effort.

Al Roker’s Unfortunate Event

There Has been a little more talk about Al Roker’s defecating in his pants when meeting President Bush than should be necessary in my opinion.

This story has an air about it that infers an unusual occurance.  I would offer that we, as a country, have seen many journalist and media types in the throws of certain bodily releases when meeting, discussing or simply listening to President Barack Obama.  (Chris Mathews comes to mind.)

I would also offer that Mr. Roker’s reaction is not at all unusual.  I too had this same experience at about 9pm EST on November 6th 2012… albeit for possibly different reasons.  Although, since it was Al Roker meeting George W. Bush it might have been for very similar ones.

So let’s just allow Al to put his business behind him.

Go grab yourself a steaming hot cup of Black Ivory and let your entire body relax…

(Update:  It appears to have happened again…)
