The debate tonight could have some fireworks. Edwards, Clark and Dean really need to do something to put themselves in a position to win at least one of the big primaries next week. Missouri or South Carolina. Arizona would probably be ok, but the really big stakes for the Edwards campaign is South Carolina.
Lieberman and Kucinich will continue to hang around until next week, but after that it is likely that their campaigns will not be able to continue.
Kerry has been a pleasant surprise. I think that he is definitely electable. Dean was hurt pretty bad by the media demonizing him. He has invested enough resources that he might be able to fight for a while. If he wins a few primaries in the next month, he can likely keep going. Who knows? There might even be a brokered convention.
Apparently I forgot myself, because I flipped over to him on Tuesday night to watch New Hampshire primary coverage and heard him utter the words "The Democrats are Insane..."
Geraldo Rivera - For being a pain in the ass, and for being on my TV
Robin Williams - He committed the cardinal sin of acting in too many "I am such a caring man" roles, e.g. Dead Poet's Society, Good Will Hunting, the Fisher King, Mrs. Doubtfire, the movie where he wears that damn clown nose. I will enjoy whipping his ass if I ever get the chance. I bet he's not nearly such a sensitive person when I'm punching him in his tender ribs.
Katie Couric - Her eyes look like proverbial pissholes in the snow most mornings. Being on my TV
Al Roker - "Here's what's happening in your neck of the woods" No Al, asswhoopings are happening in my neck of the woods
Rush Limbaugh - Goes without saying, but the words "Feminazi" and "Hitlery" are good enough
Ed Gillespie - He is the genuine article, A GOP POS. I hate him.
Paul Thomas Anderson - Punch Drunk Love. I love that movie, but about 2 thirds through, I promised I'd whip his ass, because of the unnecessary tension, and I try never to break a promise
Duncan Sheik - That night at the Orange Peel in Asheville. He didn't buy me a beer. I'm calling you out Mr. Sheik
Paul Westerberg - For recording almost all of the albums he's written in the past 10 years in his kitchen.
Jake Delhomme - For that interception you threw late in the 4th quarter against the Bucs. I know, I know, you came back and won, but that was unforgiveable
Don Imus - for being the ugliest so-called human being to ever be on my TV screen. I see him sometimes in the morning and think "Good God! Zombies have taken over TV" then I realize that it's just the I Man, if I ever meet him he'll be the AW Man, {the AW is for ASS WHOOPED}
More on this subject later.....
I could really use some feedback as I go through the process of doing this site. I am asking that each of you who read this, tell a friend to check out the site. I am also adding a message board for you to post comments, etc.
If you have something you would like placed on this page, email and I will publish. I prefer no extreme cursing or sexual content, and will likely edit that sort of thing out, but otherwise anything goes.
How about this for starters? Send me a list of the top 10 public people whose ass you'd like to whoop. I prefer that it include no active politicians, as they probably do their best, and while may be deserving of an ass whooping, they may also have secret service protection. email to thisismurka@yahoo.com
The mullet, not a good look, but Steve even manages to pull that off - well - sorta.
Without these sites the past few years would have been very dreary.
Most of these sites are published by a few people on a shoe-string budget. It is hard for them to put up new material daily. To that end, I thought I would maybe try to help others in the same fashion that the folks mentioned above have helped me.
Bush's voice sounded funny to me. Not funny "ha-ha" but odd. It sounded wrong. There was one word in particular that started catching my ear that seemed to some up the wrongness of his entire voice. Whenever he tried to say "America" it came out "Murka". I thought that I must be having hearing problems, because this man had just been selected pResident by the Supreme Court of the United States. Surely the leader of the free world was not a man who could not pronounce the name of his own country.
I conferred with my wife, who confessed that she too heard the odd-sounding word coming from the mouth of Bush. I couldn't understand what was going on. The United States of America had just finished a presidential election where the most qualified person to run for the office in my lifetime, Albert Gore, had received more votes in an election against possibly the most unqualified person to run in the history of the republic. Due to a little situation in Florida, the election results were overturned, and a Republican majority on the US Supreme Court had made this man Bush pResident.
It became clear what had happened. I had entered a parallel universe. I no longer lived in the United States of America. I now lived in Murka. Murka is very similar to the United States of America, but there are some seriously messed up differences.
I made the following chart to help myself understand the differences:
+Our leaders are qualified to hold office
+Our president can prounounce the name of the goddamned country
+Leaders fight terror by arresting the terrorists and putting them in jail.
+President is forced to endure the most dispicable attacks in the history of the country from his political enemies.
+Leaders lead country into war by lying
+Say "Murka" when they mean America. Never ever say "United States of America"
+Leaders fight terra by provoking wars of choice and implementing restrictions on civil liberties.
+President criticizes the patriotism of those who oppose him.
So, I have resigned myself to living in Murka until the next Presidential election, barely 10 months away. At that time, I hope that I can somehow find the way back to my own universe where I live in a country where freedom and democratic values are more important than the greed and hubris of a few evil men and women.
