The Goreacle is Running?

Uncle Rush is reporting that every liberals favorite first loser, Al Gore, has cancelled his personal appointments for the next six months.....

Clearing the boards for another run? We report...you decide.

No Worries....

So the Russian President Vladimir "Pooty Poot" Putin is coming for a visit to America this week. Seems a member of his advance team got caught in a, shall we say, "compromising" event......he was passing counterfeit bills.

A Russian man attempted to pass off a phony $100 bill at the New Hampshire State Liquor store shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday, according to the store manager, who said a cashier discovered the bill was bogus.

No worries though...a foto of the bill is above.......until yesterday, it was the coin of the realm.....

Bwaaahahaahahahaaa...........!!!!

My Olde Pal J. D.

J. D. Hayworth has landed upright and on his feet following last falls elections. The former six term Arizona Congressman extraordinaire has a website called Arizona Solutions. The site along with a talk show provide ample opportunity of J. D. to get his message out and stay involved in the political process......until the next go round.

The Rumbear says...check him out!

SHOW ME!

Show me, El Presidente Bush. Prove to me you were sincere in your promise to protect the borders. All through the debate on this Shamnesty Bill you said enforcement was a priority. So, you talked the talk, how's about you walk the walk. Use the laws on the books, continue your "raids" on selected workplaces. Then come back to me with a bill I can believe in.

Alas, you won't. All hat and no saddle, as they say in your neck of the woods. We both know the raids were timed to give the voters the perception you were being tough. Now that the bill is dead, they will stop. We both know your cries for $4.2 Billion dollars in border security, INCLUDING a shiny new fence, was boob bait to convince us bubbas that you wanted what we wanted. Now that the bill is dead, I doubt we will see a fence. (Even though it is already funded).

It was a sham. Shamnesty. Adios amigos.....

53-46, Cloture Goes Down. Amnesty Bill Is Dead.

ShAmnesty Redux

Everybody's watching.......

Michele Malkin is liveblogging the latest attempt to ram the Illegal Alien Amnesty Act down the throats of the American people. High drama is being played out with lot's of bloviating by Ted "the Swimmer" Kennedy and Lindsey "Cry Me a River" Graham.

Just build the fence and enforce the laws we have. It works, when it's tried. Ask the Israeli's....

Paris is Free!

Words of wisdom from America's latest prison Wordsworth...

"Don't serve the time; let the time serve you," Hilton said. "I have a new outlook on life."

Indeed.

Dennis Miller

He's just returned from the latest meeting of "The World is Flat and Hot Society" and has several cogent points.....I paraphrase....

Why can’t I take terrorism as seriously as Al Gore takes Glowball Warming?

Oil will be replaced as a fuel when we run out of it. Good ole Yankee ingenuity will kick in and solve the crisis. Driving a hybrid saves oil and just prolongs the dilemma.

The Rumbear owns three (3) SUV’s and uses as much gas as possible to expedite the process. C’mon don’t YOU care about Mother Earth?

I Works Hard for My Money.....

Feeling blue? Can't get anything accomplished at work, unable to get along with your peers, public approval ratings at an all time low? Here's a pick me up that all of your curmudgeonly friends can get behind.....vote yourself a pay raise!! Yes! The one subject you and your fellow Congressman/woman/person can agree on....Mo Money! By golly, don't let those naysayers keep you from smilin on the job.......

Nothing but blue skies coming our way........

Representative Democracy?

Now, as Dennis Miller is fond of saying, "I don't want to go off on a rant here...." but the Rumbear is not happy.

As a student of the Science of Politics, something is bugging the olde bear about what happened in the Senate yesterday with this fraud of an Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill. Let's just step back a moment and recall the founding of the country...you know all that "For the People by the People..." gobbledygook and reflect on yesterday. Right now, here, in the year of our lord 2007, we have a country that is pretty much split down the middle on most issues. Just look at the polls on any topic and we have the populace comes down 51-49% on the various issue of the day. As a result, we have a polarized Congress with each side battling tooth and nail to show theirs is the chosen position. Set aside your position for a moment and reflect upon that. Certainly you will concur that the situation has thrown the debate on such issues into the "heated" category. Fair comment, no matter your view, right? I thought you would agree.

Now overlay this brief moment of reflection with the information regarding this damn Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill...reportedly, the polls show that upwards of 80-84% are of us are against it, period. No one who supports the bill is challenging this fact. John "F_ _ _ You" McCain and Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy simply question YOUR ability to understand the bill. So, faced with a vast majority of the voters being against a bill that they say we do not understand, what do they do...explain it?...NO! They are presently, right now as you read this orchestrating a grand scheme to pass this sucker without a second look. Screw YOU America.

That's right, a guy that can't drive a car without crashing has joined up with a guy who can't fly a plane without crashing and together THEY know better than 84% of the voters what is good for us and will boldly lead us on the proper course...

......and that my friends, ain't right...... not in America.

Indeed.

Stanley Kurtz over at The Corner says:

Supporters of this bill sell it as a compromise that will heal America’s divisions. I fear it’s quite the reverse. This bill is infuriating the public and undermining faith in government itself. You can see it in the polling on confidence in Congress and the President. If this bill passes, it’s going to aggravate and embitter politics for years to come. Passing a measure over such overwhelming opposition is like slapping the public in the face.

Yup, my cheek hurts. No, the facial one, the other two will hurt when we are called upon to pay for this Shamnesty mess.

Here they come.........

Shamnesty.

YOUR Senate is voting right now on this travesty of a bill. The "Greatest Deliberative Body in the World" refusing to allow .... deliberation ...go figure. Did YOU call your Senator?

I Like That!

Get yourself rated here.

Memories, they can't be bought and
They can't be won in carnivals for free
It took me years, to get these souvenirs
And I don't know how they slipped away from me...

Acidman, R.I.P.

It was a year ago today that I learned of the passing of Rob Smith aka “Acidman”. I began reading his blog “Gut Rumbles” three years prior. Rob was a great writer that was able to skewer his points home with a flare that was all his own. Some say he was gruff and crude. To me he was a diamond, in the rough. A “Tall Dog” indeed. I posted a few comments on his blog and we exchanged an e-mail or two.

Not without his problems, Rob went in to Willingway Hospital to slay some of his demons. Before he went in, Rob invited his readers to send written correspondence to give him something to do. He guaranteed he would write back. I sent him a brief missive wishing him the best with the treatment. True to his word, he wrote back. Several more letters followed where we exchanged thoughts and views.

Out of Willingway he went back to blogging. Over the months we continued to exchange an e-mail or two. He always encouraged The Rumbear to start a blog. Just write for yourself, he would say. I always deferred a firm response.

Over the weeks and days the Acidman's writing style was returning. He was getting back in stride. Then he died…June 26, 2006. The news hit hard.

When this blog was launched several months later, the words of the Acidman were ringing in my ears. Thanks Rob, rest in peace my friend..... R.I.P.

Monday's Pun(s) !!!

The dictator was really upset about the neckwear he had received as a gift. What a tie rant.

He wanted desperately to be a good golfer - you could say he had a driving ambition.
