A real psychological salve to read poetry after feeling buried in the negativity of the day to day political garbage. Seaside Lounges was one of my favorites, you really expressed such a wonderful, gentle tranquility and joy of existence in that poem. And the imagery in A Mid-Air Masterpiece was very evocative, well done! Thanks so much for sharing your work, Killgore, it was a very appreciated oasis in my day. » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 9:47 am JUST IN: The Nominees For The Republican Academy Awards! Hey AB! What deadline for what application did you miss? Glad you were out in Cali for a bit but that’s a hell of a drive. Love your nominees! Just playing off of yours: Nominated for Worst Performance in Elected Office: The Republican House Majority in “NO-braska”. As for Christie, he hasn’t been very animated lately and I don’t think many want him featured around them right now (the Republican Governors Association is squirming at having him there…very amusing!). Welcome back home! » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 4:25 pm That is type casting, indeed! » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 3:22 pm Perfect, Pocketwatch! » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 3:22 pm Pocketwatch, so to compare them to a movie, maybe we should think of Republicans as kind of like The Andromeda Strain, they just rampantly infect healthy things as part of their process to exist. Or maybe they’re better portrayed as Mars Attacks? Or like the zombies in Night of the Living Dead? Looks like a GOP Film Festival may be in order! » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 8:47 am So glad you enjoyed it, Jenuwin!!! » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 8:40 am Wow Fergie1, what kind compliments!!! Thank you so much!!! It has been talked about that Christie did indeed use Sandy funds to promote his run at winning The Wacko but that he has eaten the evidence. » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 8:39 am Thanks escribacat! Kind words indeed! » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 8:31 am CL, just being nominated means they’re all losers. Some will just be more celebrated as losers than others. Not only will it be a short show, but it will be rerun non-stop on Fox News for the next several years. » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 8:30 am Cheers Beatlex! It is absurd that one of our most powerful leaders in this nation is often on the verge of crying like a five year old boy who’s skinned his knee. Really? That’s someone fit for office and power? » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 8:26 am Very Funny, Funk! A great addition to the nominations list! » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 8:23 am Thanks jj! If only Republicans were as fictional as their beliefs and claims! » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 8:22 am Kalima, I now buy replacement computer monitors in bulk to replace the ones you end up spraying with tea because of my posts…which I take as a supreme if somewhat costly compliment. If Christie does end up leaving politics, he could be cast in the new Hollywood film, “The Seven Deadly Sins”, playing all the roles of He could win an Oscar for such an authentic performance! Thanks so much for the props, Kalima, they’re very appreciated! That is indeed, Rick Perry as the slavemaster in 12 Years a Slave. Poor Fonzie, he only jumped the shark once! » Posted By AdLib On January 17, 2014 @ 8:20 am Thanks Nirek, very cool! We should have a balloting process to pick a winner…er…loser. So far, one vote for Wall Street! » Posted By AdLib On January 16, 2014 @ 2:24 pm Chris Christie’s Implausible Deniability VB – It’s no coincidence that there are echoes of Nixon denials in Christie’s denials (“I am not a bully/crook!”), as The Bard wrote, he does protest too much. As this clip of Christie from his State of the State speech last night shows:
» Posted By AdLib On January 15, 2014 @ 11:47 am Very funny and well done, Fergie1! » Posted By AdLib On January 15, 2014 @ 11:42 am Escribacat, or maybe The Teapot Dome Scandal, with Chris Christie as the Teapot Dome. » Posted By AdLib On January 14, 2014 @ 10:32 pm Oh what the heck…too late! [img]https://planetpov.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Christie-Eek.jpg[/img] » Posted By AdLib On January 14, 2014 @ 10:25 pm Kes – Careful, I might just photoshop that image! » Posted By AdLib On January 14, 2014 @ 9:45 pm Thanks Beatlex! Don’t know if you saw any of his State of the State speech but what a steaming pile of BS! Christie still has that guilty look on his face, he knows he’s been caught red handed and even his new subdued tone is testimony to that. This guy is so guilty and he’s just handed an inescapable attack to his Repub and Dem opponents…why would anybody want someone in the WH who staffs his office with criminals who abuse power? He thinks an excuse of incompetency gets him off the hook? It would be laughable but it’s what passes for the character of the GOP. » Posted By AdLib On January 14, 2014 @ 6:21 pm Thanks Kes! He’s spent his entire professional career being a bully and succeeding because of it then when an excess of it leads to a crisis, he jumps up on a table holding his skirt up and screeching, “Eek! A bully!” It may be the most convenient lie but it’s not the most believable one for him to be making. Even a majority of NJ residents believe he’s lying. And there are many more documents to be subpoenaed. » Posted By AdLib On January 14, 2014 @ 4:11 pm Nirek, sometimes the best thing you can do is laugh at a bully. They’re so typically insecure it can wound them more than an attack. » Posted By AdLib On January 14, 2014 @ 4:02 pm Sabreen, great graphic! Hypocrisy is God’s way of asking, “Now do you know why you shouldn’t elect a Republican?” » Posted By AdLib On January 13, 2014 @ 9:31 pm Sabreen, what is fascinating is how Christie was living in this unsustainable delusion…and thought he could continue to do so because he had done so to date. As Governor, he abused power and acted as a nasty bully but nationally he wore the disguise of Moderate Chris. The facade has been torn to shreds now and revealed the true Christie…and one can’t help but be amused by his Bush-like surprise at his phony PR image collapsing. He was so sure of how stupid the public was, how easily fooled they were…he just never saw this coming…he never even saw it as a possibility. No matter what happens, any reasonable person isn’t going to buy Christie’s cowardly dodge. He is a nasty piece of work and no amount of makeup can cover that up now. » Posted By AdLib On January 13, 2014 @ 9:28 pm At least Kramer had a conscience, I think Christie acts more like Tony Soprano but has the guts of Ralph Kramden. Literally and figuratively. » Posted By AdLib On January 13, 2014 @ 9:11 pm PPO, “All I told my people was, ‘Wouldn’t it just be too bad if somethin’ happened to a few lanes of the GW Bridge?” So because I’m concerned that this kinda thing could happen, I’m a bad guy?” We saw the same thing under the Bush Admin, the corrupt think that as long as they have power, they can do whatever they want and get away with it. Well, to a degree they may be right but there are limitations to that invulnerability and thanks to their hubris, they often discover that. » Posted By AdLib On January 13, 2014 @ 9:07 pm jjgravitas, you put your finger on it. If you see him as he likely is, he’s a criminal bully who abuses the power of his office to help enrich his friends and harm his enemies and anyone around them. But even if you buy his BS, he’s an incompetent, clueless leader who hires the most horrible and dishonest people into government. Either way, how is this someone who can make a valid argument for being President? Impossible. Stick a fork in him, he’s done. » Posted By AdLib On January 13, 2014 @ 8:59 pm Kalima, thanks for the MB links on Christie (Morning Blog Rocks! And usually scoops me!) It is funny that John “I Am Not A Maverick” McCain is standing up for Chris “I Am Not A Bully” Christie. Richard “I Am Not A Crook” Nixon would be proud. Anyone who can read body language, the flushness of a face and eye blinking that accompanies lying can plainly detect how Christie was BSing in his press conference. The naive victim costume doesn’t fit him and we can all see how quickly he’ll dive behind his closest allies and kick them out into the line of fire to save himself. Like most bullies, he is at heart a coward and acting like the most spineless, craven kind. And that stink will surround him from now on…and into his non-Presidential retirement. » Posted By AdLib On January 13, 2014 @ 8:52 pmComments Posted By AdLib
