I report, you decide.

Yes, it seems like 2012 is around the corner. And the republicans and tea baggers, sorry, tea partiers (ever wonder what they're partying with?), are scrambling to put up a candidate who can defeat Obama.

That said, that's take a peak, shall we?

Donald Trump. Self proclaimed American Billionaire. Or is it Millionaire. You Decide. OK, now. Having read the article (I'm giving credit probably where it's not due) is a man prone to exaggeration and frivolous lawsuits when his businesses are failing a good candidate for leader of the free world? Is a man who condones bullying in a corporate environment for the sake of TV ratings worthy of your vote? Is a man who used to evict the elderly in the name of progress someone you want as a role model for your children? You decide.

Newt Gingrich. Now here's a prize. He made and broke a Contract with America. He impeached the President for sexual misconduct. Which in his case we are now supposed to forgive, forget and move on because he is only human after all. But it gets better. He now is implying perhaps we could impeach Obama too. Hypocrite or moral leader? You decide.

Michelle Bachmann. What can I say. No, better yet, what does she say? Take a peek. Will she be the first woman to be elected President of these United States? Or will her job as ghostwriter for SNL be exposed? You decide.

Haley Barbour. This is too easy. Why reinstate DADT? And yes, Virginia, slavery is wrong. Yeah, yeah....you decide :)

Oh! Oh! Oh! as Horshack would say. What about Sarah Palin? Um..who?

Mike Bloomburg. Okay. I actually like and respect the guy. Most of the time. Or maybe some of the time. Others, not so much. But sometimes I just worry about the guy. White jacket or Black tie? You decide.

Now there are certainly more hovering in the radar, and I'll get to them. I just wanted to start the conversation. Like it or not, we're in for a long long political season. The lunatics are ready to pounce, and we've got to be prepared. Grab your lawn chairs, a Billy Beer and bag of Olestra chips and get ready for the big show. It's gonna be a doozy.

Funny thing about Funny Bones

Image
My favorite snack cake growing up was a Funny Bone. Wrapped in silver foil, like a Ring Ding, but shaped like a Yodel, and filled with this awesome peanut butter cream. Truth? It wasn't real cream, or real peanut butter, and who knows what kind of crap was used to make the most horribly delicious food ever. A few years ago I had an awful craving, actually... more like 10 years ago. I haven't eaten sugar in close to nine years. But back to my story. I went online, and to my utter delight, Gristedes in New York would ship me as many boxes of my childhood obsession as I wanted. I ordered like 7 boxes. I wanted my husband to try them. I wanted my girls to experience the sugary rush of awesomeness. Back then, I had no idea it was so deadly. And now I do. But it doesn't mean I gave up my love of Chocolate and Peanut butter cakes rolled in chocolate. Carolyn, over at AlldayIdreamaboutfood.com, had this great layer cake with peanut butter frosting and ganache. She also had a ...

Shots heard round the world, and way too close to home.

I know the buzz today is all about Amy Winehouse. Yeah. I'm sorry she made bad choices too. But in Norway 93 or more people who made good choices are also gone. And will be sorely missed. Their potential will never be known. One, maybe 10 might also have become voices of a generation. So take a moment and express your sadness that one lone misguided singer wasted her talent and her life, and then maybe take a few more if you can spare them to mourn the loss of almost one hundred souls at the hands of a Norwegian madman. You can write off the Norwegian as a crazed lone gunman. Like Jared Loughner. Maybe. But, perhaps not so coincidentally, their insane ideology was identical. Breivik, who admitted to the shooting spree and bomb blast, has said through his lawyer that his actions aimed to "change Norwegian society" which he saw as being undermined by multi-culturalism. That is a frightening statement for anyone to hear, in any country. But here in the US, the hairs on y...

The lunatics are in the Hall...

Here in Arizona we have a problem. The lunatics are in the hall. First, they are shutting down our educational system one giant step at a time. Destroying our children's future. Wasting our taxpayer dollars and then blaming the taxpayers. And punishing the kids. It's immoral, indecent, and insane. Now the crazies in Phoenix have passed SB 1070. The most ridiculous, scary, immigration bill ever. And costly. I am going to state at the outset, yes, we need immigration reform, and we need border security. We need to quell the influx of drug runners and criminal border crossers. Having said that, this law is absurd, bordering on fascist. If you don't look American, then you might just get stopped on the sidewalk and asked for your papers. Yeah. Be careful when you come down and visit our beautiful sunny state. Wear lots of sunblock. If you have too good a tan they might just profile you. And if your city isn't doing enough of this, you can sue them. And if you're c...
