Rush Limbaugh Finally Gets His Comeuppance

 It has taken too long but it finally happened.  Rush Limbaugh has finally received what he has deserved for a long time.  His comeuppance.

If you are a public figure in America you are subject to scrutiny.  Whether it is your words or behavior, you have put yourself in the public eye.  Obviously some of those pubic figures do not understand that reality.  Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is an excellent example of someone who committed acts that the general public considered inappropriate (an affair with a maid at his home).

Words spoken by Don Imus resulted in his dismissal.  John and Ken in Los Angeles were suspended for about 10 days for their name calling.  At long last talk show host Rush Limbaugh has managed to cross the line.  I am not a fan of Limbaugh but have heard him occasionally because my car radio is tuned to the local station carrying his broadcast.

The consequence of his words is his loss of advertisers.  It is the perfect payback.  Limbaugh’s choice of name calling will cost him money and perhaps the loss of his program.

The Associated Press reports: “ProFlowers said Sunday on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh’s program because his comments about Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke “went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company.”

The six other advertisers that say they have pulled ads from his show are mortgage lender Quicken Loans, mattress retailers Sleep Train and Sleep Number, software maker Citrix Systems Inc., online data backup service provider Carbonite and online legal document services company LegalZoom.

We should listen on Monday morning to his program to decide who we should boycott.

Jerry Seinfeld Super Bowl Commercial

This was clearly the best commercial on the Super Bowl

In the newly released extended spot, Seinfeld lusts after the 2012 Acura NSX very badly, but is told he is the second person on the waiting list. So he launches an extremely intensive campaign to bribe the man who is the first one on the list to give him his spot. Seinfeld’s tactics include: cash, use of the Soup Nazi (“I own all the characters”), small talk with the omelet guy, stand-up at the man’s house, re-enacting reality TV using sock-puppets, showing the man an alien, and much much more.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Super Bowl ad without a big celebrity twist at the end.

 

Presidential Race = Reality Show

 

Did anyone really take Herman Cain as a serious candidate for president?  His 9-9-9 plan for taxation was a perfect take off of the pizza for $9.99.  His appearance with Stephen Colbert confirms what we all knew.  He is the text book example of self promotion.

Mr. Cain has been reported to be the person who will offer a Tea Party response to the president’s State of the Union address.  Are Tea Party leaders serious or are they also part of a self promotion agenda?

When Newt Gingrich attacked CNN’s John King and the entire media for his second wife’s interview with ABC it was a perfect example of utter nonsense.  Neither ABC nor other media outlets put the words into his second ex-wife.

“Oops” it has all been great fun.  $10,000 bets that only a multi-millionaire could really afford tells us that few people really take the race for president seriously.

Seriously, does anyone believe that the next four years will be any better no matter who wins the election?  I don’t!

Jewish Newlyweds

Please excuse the four-letter words toward the end of the

following story… I would have deleted them, but the story wouldn’t be the same..

—

A young Jewish couple got married and went on their honeymoon.

When they got back, the bride immediately called her mother.

“Well”, said her mother, “so how was the honeymoon?”

“Oh mama”, she replied, “the honeymoon was wonderful! So romantic”… Suddenly she burst out crying.

“But, mama, as soon as we returned, Sam started using the most horrible language — things I’d never heard before!

I mean, all these awful four-letter words!

You’ve got to take me home!!

“PLEASE, MAMA !”

“Sarah, Sarah”, her mother said, “calm down! You need to stay with your husband and work this out. Now, tell me, what could be so awful?

WHAT four-letter words?”

“Please don’t make me tell you, mama,” wept the daughter.

“I’m so embarrassed, they’re just too awful! COME GET ME, PLEASE!!”

“Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your mother these horrible four-letter words!”

Sobbing, the bride said, “Oh, Mama…, he used words like: “DUST, WASH, IRON and COOK…

“I’ll pick you up in twenty minutes,” said her mother.

Andy Rooney

 

I never really liked Andy Rooney.  His constant complaining may have been entertaining to some people but I found his dialogues irritating.  I guess I was in the minority but not alone.  One news report called his commentaries acerbic (synonym for bitter, caustic, prickly, etc.).  Still I wish everyone a long life and he had one since he died at 92.  He died only a month after delivering his 1,097th and final televised commentary.  “I wish I could do this forever. I can’t, though,” he said.  So he knew the end had come.

Just one question.  If Andy could report from heaven would he be
sending us a list of complaints?  My guess is YES!

May he rest in peace.

THE MONEY YEAR

This year we are experiencing four unusual dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11, and that’s not  all; Take the last two digits of the year you were born and the age you will be this year and the result will add up to 111 foreveryone!!!! This is the year of MONEY. Also, this year, October will have 5  Sundays, 5 Mondays & 5 Saturdays. This happens only once every 823 years. These particular years are known as Moneybag years. The proverb goes that if you send this to eight good friends, money willappear in the next four days, as is explained in the Chinese feng shui.Those who don’t continue the chain won’t receive. It’s a mystery, but it’s worth a try. Good luck to you. This only happens once in 800 years .

A cannibal was walking through the jungle …

A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came upon a restaurant operated by a fellow cannibal.

Feeling somewhat hungry, he sat down and looked over the menu….

  Tourist:  $8.00
 

  Broiled Missionary: $10.00
 

  Fried Explorer:  $12.50
 

  Baked Democrat or Grilled Republican: $100.00

The cannibal called the waiter over and asked,
“Why such a high price for the Politicians?”

The cook replied, “Have you ever tried to clean one?”

 
“They’re so full of shit, it takes all morning.”
