Come On... Daddy Needs Some New Leather Pants!

Let's take it to the man. I mean really stick it to him! Let's shutdown the "lame stream" media and make them pay for saying those awful things about us. Besides they're only telling lies.

What? They're just reporting things that were actually said? They can do that? Woah, that's heavy!

Yep former (and current a-hole). Bradlee Dean and his "You Can Run But You Can't Hide" ministry (that's the real name... really) is a little hot under the collar at MSNBC and their commentator Rachel Maddow. It seems that it didn't take sticks and stones but names indeed could hurt Dean as he filed a lawsuit today against the aforementioned parties and The Minnesota Independent   newspaper over reporting that questioned his groups beliefs on homosexuality and that "tried to detail the presidential bid of Michelle Bachman".

*insert sound of crickets chirping*

But wait it gets better! According to the suit, he is "praying" for extensive monitory damages.

*more crickets, more chirping*

I'm starting to question if Oral Roberts University should really rethink their law school. Most people when filing suit usually"ask" or "seek" or even "request money". Praying for it is usually reserved for the liquor store lotto counter or the tables at a cheap Vegas Casino.

But here's Mr Dean asking not only the judge for money but the big guy upstairs too, and you know just for luck! I suppose the court should hear the case and judge it on its merits but of course others think the case is a travesty and a mistake. I fall in the middle. I not only want the case heard but I want to Dean to win it.

Think about it. If he wins several great outcomes emerge. 1). Rachel Maddow will finally be taken off the air. We can all agree that she's hard on the eyes and that shrill voice would stop a lion in his tracks. 2). MSNBC would enjoy a nice ratings bump which lord knows they need! And 3) if this suit is allowed to go through then what's to stop other people from filling similar suits claiming that Rush Limbaugh ruined the chances of Al Franken from ever being President!

Isn't the First Amendment a great thing!

Turning the White House Black and Where’s the Booze

Well maybe just a finer shade of Gray. I don’t usually use this space to promote things. In fact its usually just the opposite. But I want to make an exception here and tell you about a wonderful documentary (well Part 1 of 2 anyway) that I took in last night and I encourage anybody out there who is interested in how the White House really works to take a look at.

Brian Williams of NBC News did a long form documentary broken up into 2 parts (part 2 airs tonight) that is really something to see. He follows President Obama and his staff all around the White House grounds, into offices, and sometimes even to grab a burger. BTW: why the hell can’t somebody bring the burgers in? Why does he always have to go out. Eh....anyway. Go check out the videos over at MSNBC’s site.

Last night I had a very nice opportunity to sit outside on a warm night and eat Mexican/Salvadorian food with my wife and a good friend. However the night was ruined. No, not by the luke-warm pupusas (which were actually quite good) but rather by the lack of alcohol in our pitcher of margaritas. The pisser in all of this is we didn’t notice until we were getting up to leave when we both looked at each other and realized nobody had even the slightest buzz. I want justice!

That’s all...now go away
