Oh No He Didn't!!!

Donald Trump, according to CNN, said that Mr. Obama is "in over his head."  Donald Trump has a right to zing whoever he wants, even the President.  However, he should never say anything in reference to the word "head" in the process. It merely serves to remind us of his hellacious comb over. He is in over his head with his hair trip. Don't you think he would be better off if he just man up and go bald already! Just a thought.

Should a Black Man Care About the English Royals? Who Knows.

Prince William and his long-time significant other Kate Middleton are now officially engaged. Kate is a commoner  (Upper class.) from a small village in England called Burberry. She is a beautiful young woman who wore the engagement ring of Princess Diana at their televised press conference. The two have been together for eight years. For some odd reason I seem to get entertainment value from the English Royal Family coverage. As I write this blog it occurs to me that as a youngster I became interested in mythology. Stories and books about the Greek, Roman, and Norse Gods were fun reading. Fantasies became a keen interest. Jason and the Argonauts, The Lord of the Rings type stuff.

 One book which I read as a pre-adolescent kid was King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. I loved this book. It was a whole new fantasy world of heroes, demons, and wizards. The Monarchy was an integral part of this epic tale about the reign of an English King. Also as a teen I watch a very moving period piece of the time which starred Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson titled Mary Queen of Scots. Then there was the musical Camelot. I remember walking downtown in my home town to go to the movies. There were two theaters in my hometown at the time. One movie had Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice playing. The other movie theater was running Camelot. I had no idea what either of these movies was about. I saw that Camelot had something to do with Kings and Princesses, you know a period piece, so I chose to see Camelot.  After taking my seat I realized it was a musical and wished I had gone to the other movie. I really wasn't that into musicals. After a short time though this film musical hooked me but good. I was really moved by the story and I enjoyed the songs,  it was good.

From this exposure I think I continue to get mileage out of all things English Royal. It's  like whenever a period piece is in the theaters I get this pull to go check it out. It is like I've been brainwashed with this stuff. When I was sitting in the theater watching Camelot, I knew that this wasn't exactly the type of movie my peers enjoyed. I kept it to myself that I saw this movie. To this day I find it odd that I enjoy period pieces. I recently watched The Duchess with Kirsten Dunst.  I was amazed that I could get into this movie but I really thought it was great film making. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

Okay let's be clear now. I ve seen the news story on the young Royals (William and Kate). Unless the wedding becomes part of a movie, I can give a pass on the wedding coverage. I'm not quite that brain washed. However, if there is a scandal I'm there!  Lancelot and Guinevere comes to mind. This scandal brought down Camelot and I've never gotten over it. Oh, and the Movie I missed, Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice? I still haven't seen it. I have to admit if I had known at the time what it was about, I would have went to see it instead. A movie about swinging??!! I'm there.

By George!

Talk about entertainment, the former prez G- Dub has published his memoirs. He is making the rounds plugging his book just like a regular Joe, except he's a former President of the World. I call Mr. Bush  President of the World because of his foreign policy which could easily be a separate best selling book. I would title it Foreign Policy the Cowboy Way with a subtitle, How I pissed off the Dixie Chicks! I think that would be edgy. Alright put your thinking caps on and answer this riddle here's the clue, ...don't tell the truth, lie, too truthful, stretch the truth, tell an outright lie, I think we lie?...So what action is taking place? Give up? It's Mr. Bush editing his book before final printing, I know too easy. right?

 It is great to live in a country where you can write stuff about a former President and the only thing that happens is... is that you go into an FBI file,  and you are followed by the authorities for the rest of your life. In most countries you're shot!! You don't believe they do this in the United States? If you've written anything, about a President, check out the suits...they're following you, LOL, I kid the paranoid!!!

Finally the Answer!

The President's commission on the country's debt and deficit has released the answer to how to get the country's debt problem under control. Thank god, and just in the nick of time. I mean the country is headed off the proverbial economic cliff to a fall to the debt rocks below. Erkine Bowles and Alan Simpson, the co-chairs announced their rescue plan to a country who, has been waiting in terror about the possible repercussions if they failed. Okay they said to raise the retirement age, freeze the pay of federal employees, raise taxes and a few other things but basically it was to cut spending and increase revenue. Brilliant! Whew! Ok so I think these guys deserve a ticker tape parade, the congressional medal of honor, and yes, yes, the purple heart. Oh! I forgot free superbowl tickets. After all they'll want to know what the rest of us have been doing while they were working on this. We can catch them up at the game...right?

A Little Nostalgia for the Boomer Generation

I've done a little research on the background of Sarah Palin. You know her, she is the former Governor of Alaska. John McCain's VP running mate, right that Sarah Palin. She had a bridge to nowhere, and she felt that she was qualified in foreign policy because she could see Russia from her back yard. Well my research reveals that she is in fact the little girl who played Margaret on the old Dennis The Menace show. No really she is that little girl all grown up. Ok you got me, besides Sarah Palin isn't bright enough to be Margaret. When you think about it even as a little girl, Margaret was not a conservative thinker, especially on women's issues. She  wanted to grow up to be the first woman president of the United States. Hey Sarah don't you wish you were smart like Margaret? Surrrre you do.

Tea Party or baggers??!!!

Teabagging is a perverse boundary violation done to a person who is usually passed out from heavy drinking. The teabagger is usually another guy who sees it as a practical joke Wait, now that I think about it... that is exactly what the tea party is doing to their constituents. These constituents are definitely passed out or at the very least, sound asleep. I don't see a hairy balls worth of difference between what the teabagger, I mean tea party politicians are doing to their constituents, and the teabagging of some poor passed out slob. Too funny. You're probably asking what does this have to do with entertainment? I think of it as entertainment in the way we see reality T.V. as entertainment.. I don't see any other way to take the tea party movement other than as, hairy balls to the face of people who are too comotose to know. You know like a reality TV show.

But Seriously Folks

Doesn't this Koala  Bear, have a striking resemblance to Woody Allen? I mean, it is just too easy right?

 As I've mentioned, this blog is about what is funny, and what is over the top entertainment. For example Lady Gaga, who I've decided has to be a descendant of royalty. There is a regal bearing about her to me. Very self-actualized and confident. In my humble opinion, Lady Gaga  is one of the most extraordinary entertainers of our time.  She is a singer, so guys we are gaga for the lady because of her singing right? I try, you know, to focus on her singing. I pray at night to have the strength to care about her singing.  Let's face it though, she could sell out the entire state of Delaware without singing a note. A look from her, a hot pose, a wardrobe malfunction, and it's time for a smoke, that's entertainment. Am I right? Nooo of course I'm not right! It's the singing, the whole package. She knows how to knock your socks off, and rock your world.

Hey the bear is a dead ringer for Woody Allen how funny is that!!!
