More Empty Promises: Obama 2012 State of the Union Address

From Denny: The usual suspects reared up for notice, slickly detailed into the typical State of the Union Address.  Yes, it's an election year all right.

President Obama made yet more promises to get votes.  If these promises are anything like his last three years of promises, then don't go looking for anything to happen at all.  

When the promise details are out of public sight for this Obama administration, then that means the promises are out of their mind to get done. With Team Obama it's all about sounding the right tone, delivering the inspirational speech, then sitting down on the job and turning their attention away from the country's dire problems, hoping no one is watching.

What were the promises?

Prez Gingrich? Why Not And 2nd Wife Tells All 2

From Denny:  Fresh off a primary win from South Carolina it's clear that the conservative block of the Republican Party and the Moral Majority are as amoral as their favorite candidate, Newt Gingrich.  Newt enjoys a mean-spirited reputation among conservatives and they are lapping it up.

Watch Newtie chastise the debate press for daring to speak the truth or ask him about the truth of who he truly is. The bully is hard-charging, defying and terrorizing all in his way.

Vett Newtie?  Are you kidding?  He is bullying the media - and his supporters are screaming for more.  Perversion and cruelty are now celebrated as wonderful, embodied in the person of Newt Gingrich.

His second wife Marianne is speaking out about what it was like to be married to such a Drama King and cruel person.  She says he demanded "an open marriage," and he complained saying, "she wanted me all to herself."  Callista, now his third wife, "let's me do whatever I want."

Funny 2012 Election Late Nite Jokes and Videos

Look away! Look away! (Photo credit: Norm Walsh)

From Denny:  With the holiday season yesterday's news, it's time to catch up on the hilarious jokes from the late night comics about the GOP candidates and their utterly lame "debates."  These are all the jokes from December 2011 and half of January 2012.

As the political season wears on - and wears out the goodwill of the public - the jokes will only get sharper as the political attacks get nastier.  Put on your hockey face mask as the Zingers are about to get hurled at you from every angle during the next 11 months.

All the major news networks are now calling for some serious fact-checking on those GOP claims pooped out onto the airwaves.

You know it's really bad when the mainstream news starts complaining about the very guys who buy the ads on their networks that they encouraged to behave so badly in the first place.  Do you think it might have something to do with the fact the majority of the public is not paying attention to those silly debates?

Merry Christmas to ALL! Christmas News Video Clips

From Denny:  Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season.  Hope you enjoyed a tasty feast and stuffed yourselves silly.  Just wait until the New Year for those calorie regrets.  Enjoy your day and thank you for all your support this year! :)

Thought I'd put up a few cool Christmas video news clips of people who live the Christmas spirit of goodwill and giving to others.

Cleveland Mayor Spanks Big Banks On Abandoned Foreclosures

From Denny:  A crooked Congress and a delusional President continue to ignore the millions of foreclosed homes at their peril. America's Winter Revolution is about to erupt like a super volcano before the New Year has a chance to arrive.

Yes, Americans are that fed up at inequality, unemployment, under employment, unfairness, a police state mentality against peaceful protests and double standards for the law.

Mayors across the country are equally desperate about how to deal with the huge inventory of abandoned foreclosed homes getting vandalized.  The foreclosure scavenger thieves are quite sophisticated.  They check out the evictions of the foreclosed homes at the sheriff's department online and arrive the same afternoon to rip apart the house like a demolition team.

Aluminum and vinyl siding is ripped off since it goes for $1 a pound.  The same is true for electrical wiring, appliances and even the kitchen sink.  They take the plumbing, the furnace, all metal like copper and the light fixtures.  The houses are like a sad portrait of a hurricane disaster zone except this one is man made - and Big Bank made, if truth be told.
