What the Heck is Hillary Clinton Up To?!

Posted in News & PSA's, Rants at 7:55 am by Donna

Check out that emblem on that arm-sling!  Our girl is ‘officially’ pimped-out! <you go girl!>

Yes, Hillary is back on the scene since breaking her elbow in mid-June.  She’s been in office six months and she’s already broken and looking like this! <jk>

I would say to tone down the medication just a little!  I would say that, but she looks great!  Just a little, you know.., high!

Maybe it was the camera angle…
Maybe it was after lunch.

Anyway, since breaking her elbow, Clinton has missed a meeting of the Group of Eight leading industrial countries in Italy, another on European security in Greece, and a US-Russia summit with Obama in Moscow.

All of the big important stuff…

But, she has traveled to Asia, the Middle East, Iraq, Europe, Mexico, the Caribbean, <nice!> Central America and Canada, according to Yahoo News. I want that job!

Meanwhile…
” Bloomberg Slams Clinton: She Stabbed NYC In Back”

Micheal Bloomberg slammed Hillary saying that she stabbed NYC in the back by double flip-flopping on whether foreign diplomats will pay NYC property taxes or not!

There was a time when Hillary fought feverishly to make sure that diplomats who lived in the city would pay the same property taxes as everyone else!  Suddenly, those countries threatened to make us pay for properties in their countries and she does a complete 180! <gasp!>

God forbid should our government pay any freaking taxes!
Not in Obama’s “tax us so that he can spend it” administration!

Six months after taking office as secretary of state and Clinton suddenly exempts them all from paying up! <tsk tsk>

The result?
Well, New York City loses $260 million in revenue!
The Hungarians had already written a check for $32 million to pay their part when the State Department told them to cancel it! 
Do you believe that!  In this day and age?!

And, according to  Bloomberg, the State Department still owes the city $66 million for providing security during UN missions!

What happened, Hillary?
Are you so angry that our idiotic peers chose a popular, smack smart-talking semi-black guy over you that you’re now willing to throw us under the bus while you travel on our dime?

I should have known when you didn’t do the right thing after your disgusting husband disgraced you in front of the entire world!
I don’t like to tell people what to do, but you’re a public figure and to display yourself as a man’s shoe-rack is not who I want my daughter to see as a mentor!

That’s just my opinion and I’m sticking to it.

Be loyal to God, Family and Country!

Give Micheal His Brain Back…Wherever He Is!

Posted in Entertainment at 7:52 am by Donna

Poor Micheal’s body!  Even in death, it cannot rest in peace!  WTH!!

As you know, they have extracted his brain for further analysis which reports say can even show childhood abuse as well as signs of overdose and other chemical imbalances that may explain Micheal’s “strange” behavior.

I do not understand the depths that his family will go through in order to try to find some reason as to why Micheal was Micheal!  Isn’t that weird?  Actually, they’re looking for another cause of death than a drug overdose.

Hey!  Look! If it was a heart attack or other arterial disease, it would have shown on the first autopsy as well as the highly unnecessary second autopsy!  He was not strangled!  He didn’t burn to death!  He didn’t have cancer!  He was not raped or mutilated neither before or after passing! 
What the hell are you looking for!!!

Anyway…
Since they cannot/should not bury a body without its brain, some reports say that Micheal is being held in Barry Gordy’s crypt at the Forest Lawn Cemetery.  It’s nice of Barry to lend his crypt to Micheal, but his body could be there for a long time as reports say that they have to wait for the brain, which is sitting in a lab in a bottle of formaldehyde, to slightly harden for testing!
Isn’t that gross!?

Then, there is the Islamic burial practice to bury the body as soon as possible to consider.  Read more about Islamic Funerals

I have to wonder if Micheal’s wishes are being honored!  If there was a will, then there was a sense of what he wanted when he died and I feel that this isn’t what he wanted but then again, I didn’t know the guy.  But, I also have to wonder if it is the family who is taking over, doing what they think is best…or what will bring in the most dough!  Sorry, but if it looks like a duck…

If they thought Micheal was crazy then they can justify doing things their way, right?  I hope the judicial system sees all of these nut-bags coming!  I’m sure they’re even crazy enough to try to do a 5150 even while he’s laying in a crypt!

And, just look at Micheal’s pimp-daddy!  No wonder the guy was left out of the will!  He’s disgusting!

But, Micheal’s children will be thrust into pimp-daddy’s tentacles because they are with Katherine!
Does that make sense?  Not really!
Yeah, these days are different, but she didn’t do a really good job of protecting the first group of kids.  Will she have more strength to fight Joe now?  No one has been able to shut him up so far!!

And how freaking exciting is it that these kids are going to grow up?  Not only grow up, but grow up in public now that they’re in the hands of more “normal” Jackson blood! <normal…yeah>
Talk about little canisters of information that the world doesn’t need but craves just the same!

I wonder if they have Micheal’s talent?
And I wonder if they’re his!
If there is rumor, there is doubt and a call for explanation!
IF IT WAS ANY OF OUR BUSINESS!!
But, I’ll bet that DNA tests are ordered by someone soon!
It’s only natural down here in this insane asylum!

REMEMBER FOLKS…SEX DOES NOT A DADDY MAKE!!

I thought that Paris’ speech at the memorial was a little-bit fake but then again…the girl had been mourning the loss for how many days at this point!  Jesus!  The exhaustion must be insane!!

And how interesting is Blanket?  What will he be called in the future, I wonder?  Will he keep the name?

And they’re all gorgeous!!!  Beautiful skin tone!  Beautiful features!  But, like everyone else, I’m interested in the twisted tales of their days with the guy who captured the hearts of people like nobody’s business!

I just hope that Janet winds up raising them.  Out of all of the possibilities, she is the most stable and the most capable of keeping their lives as private as they want them to be.  I cannot even fathom the thought of them being separated and raised by Debbie Rowe!  I don’t think she is interested in anything but horses!

Does anyone find it strange the none of the kids have Rowe’s jaw?  That’s a good thing, but strange just the same…

It’s going to be a long time for this story to fade though…
Years and years of leaked information!
People coming out of the woodwork to benefit from their memories! Memories that are warped with time…memories which there is no one there to debate!

I do want to address the hypocrisy that was done unto Perez Hilton.  Yes, I cannot stand him but he’s human just the same.
To be attacked for his initial blunder when Jackson passed away (reporting that it was a hoax or something) is SO hypocritical!
I don’t think that there’s a human-being out there who hasn’t repeated or laughed at a Micheal Jackson joke so don’t sit there all high and mighty now that the dude’s dead!
Or is he?

oooOOooo
Shiny things!

“Not Into You” Not A Comedy But Worth The Watch

Posted in Entertainment at 7:36 am by Donna

I admit that I thought that “He’s Just Not That Into You” was a comedy but after watching it Saturday night I realized that a movie that deals with the awkward and sometimes warped stage of dating and relationships really can’t be all that funny!

The only laughs it gave me were ones of sarcastic disbelief at how screwed up people are in relationships!  How warped some see them, how warped some treat them and how warped they can become in a blink of an eye!

Oddly, I found myself rooting for the guys instead of the girls this time, which may have been the intent, I don’t know, but Ginnifer Goodwin’s character was really pathetic! <sorry Sweetie!  I think you’re fabulous!> I wish that I could take back all of the desperate things I did in the past but hey!  We’re only human!

And, because of her naivety we got to see a lot of Justin Long which is always a good thing!  I love that guy!

And to say that it’s really good to see Ben Affleck in a good movie role is an understatement!  Good job, Dude! Got a good wife, adorable baby and better decision making skills!  Growing up is painful but being grown-up ain’t all that bad, huh?

I was a little surprised at how Jennifer Aniston appeared a little old, <I am one of her biggest fans> but that may be how Drew Barrymore and the other executive producers wanted it.  Her clock is ticking…7 years with a guy and no commitment other than he’s been with you for 7 years! I really hate to see her so scrutinized!  The worst thing she could have ever done was being affiliated with Brad Pitt-Jolie!!

Scarlett Johansson was gorgeous and as you can see from IMDB, there are tons of cool actors in this movie!

Drew and her crew did a phenomenal job!  I loved the the style of the movie…it was very well done!  But like I said, if you’re like me and haven’t read the book or heard the hype, “not into you” is not really a comedy but it is worth the watch!

Random Thoughts about MJ

Posted in Entertainment, Random Thoughts at 5:49 am by Donna

Amazingly, Michael Jackson still dominates the airwaves ten days after passing away!

I wonder how long the mourning went for Elvis?  I guess that for some it is still going on…

As a news junkie, I am subjected to repeated “breaking news alerts” that repeat information that came out 5 days ago!

So, while I’m watching all of this stuff, I’m thinking to myself the obvious…which I already stated in previous articles… you know, the ‘drug addict who doesn’t pay his bills but can dance and sing getting all of the praise’ aspect of it.  Hypocrisy and double-standards suck!

But, another thing that caught my eye literally was the fact that Michael Jackson was a fine-looking young man back in the day!  Damn! I was watching a video of him singing “No Mountain High Enough”, or whatever it’s called, with Diana Ross and I’m like, “Damn!  He was freaking gorgeous!”

I am well aware of the warped vision that some see themselves with but it is hard to understand when a good-looking person complains about their nose or something!  It makes you just wanna smack the thing right off their face, you know?!

Knowing that the Jackson kids were pimped out and the whole family was mistreated by their dad, I can understand him having issues.

But, instead of being a spokes-person for the survival of childhood abuse, he became a freak!
He let his dad win!  That’s wrong!

And then there’s this aspect…
There was a story here in Philly last month about the rape of an 11-year old.  I thought to myself, “someone is going to expect her to be ‘normal’ someday” like when she gets married! <sexually “normal” ~ that’s messed up!>
I have my own history and I pray for that girl and those like her every day and because of this stuff, I somewhat understand MJ’s peculiarity!

Maybe he did a 180 from his father but he went way overboard!  Treating young boys as “precious gifts” rather than being pimped out by your disgusting old man!  Who knows?  Hard to tell in a case like his…people milking him drier than he already was… Maybe he just liked having sleepovers and providing alcohol and freedom that they never get anywhere else!  Of course kids would clamor there but then someone saw an opportunity to take advantage of Micheal’s being different to sue him for inappropriate relations.  I can’t say whether he molested boys or not but Lisa Marie Presley said she’d stay there with Michael and her boys but if she didn’t know Michael, she would never leave her kids there!  I think that once those boys who accused him grow up, we’ll know the truth.

Just a thought…

And maybe he got so eccentric because it is what kept him in the limelight!  Lots of entertainers know that even with talent, you have to have a hook!  Look at Liberace!!

OH!  And then his dad came out to look at the growing memorial and he and his sidekick promoted their own record label with the enthusiasm of a red carpet walk!  I sure hope karma bites him in the ass soon!!

Anyway…that’s what I was thinking about…
He was gorgeous and torn-up!  That’s a shame!
They say that he knew that he couldn’t perform the upcoming 50-concert tour and that is why he overdid it.  “They”, you know…”they” say that is why Michael was so desperate to get the drug because the tour was set to begin soon!  Tons of us can relate to the day we realize that our age has made us a fraction of the person we used to be.  It is disconcerting, to say the least!

It’s almost easy to understand why he wanted the merry-go-’round to stop!

What I don’t understand is the amount of people who are willing to overlook the real man because I’d bet dollars to donuts that all of those people who are out there memorializing him have an entertainer that they won’t watch because of their political views or something like that, you know?  Their own Sean Penn or Susan Sarandon!  But, they’ll stand in crowds for days to say goodbye to a man who once upon a time dance and sang!  And there are so many outstanding artists who don’t get that kind of attention because they’re not over-the-top different!  That’s a shame!

That’s alright though…We all reach perfection in others’ eyes when we’re getting put into the ground.

I can only imagine his three kids’ futures but I hope they learned one thing from their father! 
Do not self-destruct!

I do hope that after Tuesday’s service, this all stops!  I’m pretty sick of Hollywood permeating my news-time!  There’s things going on in the world that really matter and people are more interested in this guy!
It’s that mentality that make me no longer wonder why we’re in the shape that we’re in!

Surprised that Jackson Danced Two Days Before Dying?

Posted in Entertainment, News & PSA's at 8:09 am by Donna

News reports see a clue in the fact that Jackson looked good a few days before dying.

Come on!

There are some people who cannot function without drugs!

Artists of all sorts are tested when they are forced to be artists without their “mental muse”!

Of course Michael would be able to perform under the influence! Of course he was “hot” at the rehearsal!  He was a freaking’ pro!  Not just at dancing, either!  That boy knew his drug and he wasn’t afraid to use them!

Anyway…Don’t be so gullible!
<did you know that gullible isn’t in the dictionary?>


I Have Fallen For Alice!

Posted in Domestic, Raves at 8:02 am by Donna

I had heard on my local news about a website where you could buy household items at discount prices, with coupons automatically applied, the shipping is FREE and you receive your order within 2-3 days!

So, I had to try it and I fell for Alice right away!

The only “kicker”, if there is one, is that you must order at least 6 items per visit but that’s easy at their low prices!!

Here’s what I ordered:

Ajax Antibacterial Dish Liquid, Orange 2@ $1.10
Aussie Aussome Volume Gel, Maximum Hold 1@ $3.49 – $1.00 Off
Raisin Bran Cereal 1@ $3.79 – $1.00 Off
Aussie 2 In 1 Shampoo 1@ $3.18 – $1.00 Off
3 pk Dial Antibacterial Soap, Tropical Escape 1@ $2.12

Sub-Total $14.78
Coupons - $3.00
Tax $0.82
Shipping Always Free
Other Discounts $0.00
Total $12.60

As you can see, I ordered items from different categories so that I could see how they were packaged.  The soaps, shampoo and gel were all sealed so that the pop-up top was NOT going to open during shipping!  Then, those items were put into a large zipper back in order to protect the cereal!

The dates on all of the products are current, and they’ll remind you when you need someone based on your settings! Even the box that they ship it in is cool!

And check this out…
I have been looking everywhere for my particular Aussie Gel!  Most stores have switched to this new spray that is replacing the bottled gel.
I don’t like the spray so I was thrilled to see the old style on Alice!  I was afraid that I would wind up receiving the newer product but I got exactly what I ordered!
<wow…that paragraph has a lot of “I’s” in it, huh?>

The following is small bit from Alice’s “About Us” page:

“Alice provides you a better way to manage all of your household essentials online. You tell Alice what you buy—choosing from great deals on 1000’s of products—and Alice goes to work. We organize all of your products, find coupons and deals for you, remind you when you might be running low, and help you order just the items you need so you can avoid that trip to the corner drugstore or the big-box store. And all this convenience comes direct to your door with free shipping included.

Best of all, you won’t over pay for the power and convenience of Alice. In addition to free shipping on every order, you’ll find great prices too. That’s because Alice isn’t your average retailer. You order from Alice just like you would a retailer, but behind the scenes we work like a marketplace, allowing manufacturers to sell directly to you. This direct to consumer model eliminates the retail middleman, saving lots of costs that can be passed directly on to you. And in addition to saving you money, the Alice marketplace allows your favorite brands to have a direct relationship with you—to reward you, personalize things for you, and work smarter for you. It is a win-win that gives you fantastic convenience AND tangible savings.”

Awesome, huh?
And it’s been tried and tested by yours truly!Me

So, if you like saving money and convenience, or if you’re looking for a make-up or something that you cannot find anywhere else or are just a deal hunter, go ask Alice!

Who Will Return to “Friday Night Lights”?

Posted in Entertainment, Raves at 9:43 am by Donna

Access Hollywood knows who will be returning to “Friday Night Lights” this fall!

Yes, the show has been picked up for two more seasons, or so they say!  We’ll see if they’ll cancel it or not.  John and I like it so it is bound to be canceled!

Anyway, thankfully Tim Riggins, who is the hottest thing on film, will be back and thankfully, perfectly-pouty Lyla will only be on for a few episodes, according to the article. <I’m just not that into her!>

Matt Sarecon will be back!  That’s very important! <if I had a son, I’d want it to be him!> And Tyra is still up in the air, but isn’t she always!  <love that girl!> She epitomizes how many of us felt at that age, doesn’t she?

And, of course Coach and Tammy will be back but…will they have two kids or one because last season it was kind of a mystery as to where that little baby went! <maybe she was at the sitters?> I just hope that he drops that scowl that  he wears all of the time!  He’s so cute when he smiles!

I dunno…This show has been like a fish out of water…flip-flopping between being canceled and not being canceled so I won’t hold my breath, because that’s really unhealthy and I don’t look good in blue, but time will tell.  I hope they stop flip-flopping while they’re on the “not canceled” side!

Who could really blame them when the show looked like the kids were going to be eternal high school students, but thankfully last season the writers started tackling that problem by introducing ONE new character!  This year I bet they bring in TWO!!
Just kidding!

Bring back the show we fell in love with!  The one with deep story-lines and awesome tunes that roar in the background of back-breaking football games!
Please?

You can read the entire article on Access Hollywood to see if your favorite character will be coming back to Dillon, Texas!

Does Hollywood Know Something That We Don’t?

Posted in Entertainment, Random Thoughts at 7:07 am by Donna

With the sudden rash of entertainment deaths, I have to wonder if the ‘elite’ know something that the rest of us don’t know but should! Why else would so many be splitting at once?

Maybe, they feel guilty for pushing Obama into office with their faces and their money?

Desperate Housewives To Get Even Better!

Posted in Entertainment, Raves at 4:44 am by Donna

I just read the news that Drea de Matteo will be joining the cast of Desperate Housewives when the show’s 6th season premieres on September 27!

From the article:

“De Matteo will portray an Italian matriarch whose husband is a landscape designer.”
FULL ARTICLE

Hmm…and Italian matriarch is sure to make Gabby insecure, which will inevitably get her back into those outfits we love to see her in!

And a landscape designer?
Didn’t the woman hear about the last landscaper in town?
