Local Jerkass makes natioinal news.

Sorry for the lack of posting this week. I have no good excuse. I have had my hands full with Turtle and work, but you guys don't want to hear about that. You want to hear about the Jerkass of the Week!!! Well, fear not kiddos, the JOW is on it's way.

It seems the mayor of Arlington had something to say about our President deciding to discuss his plans for sending 30,000 American soldiers to Afghanistan on Tuesday. You see, CBS was scheduled to play "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on Tuesday, but instead they aired the President's speech. What's the big deal? Well, nothing if you have a brain, but if you are Arlington mayor Russell Wiseman you can see evil in anything the President does. Mayor Wiseman updated his facebook status with the following rant:

Ok, so, this is total crap, we sit the kids down to watch 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' and our muslim president is there, what a load.....try to convince me that wasn't done on purpose. Ask the man if he believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and he will give you a 10 minute disertation (sic) about it....w...hen the answer should simply be 'yes'...

Um, where to start. First, he's not Muslim, but even if he was this is just dumb. Later in the thread he stated, "you know, our forefathers had it written in the original Constitution that ONLY property owners could vote, if that has stayed in there, things would be different........" Oh, they'd be different alright. We'd live in a worse country.

That's not the point though. I mean I don't care about what the mayor of Arlington thinks. What's hilarious is that he thinks the President is sitting around looking at the tv schedule and figuring out when A Charlie Brown Christmas comes on so he can decide when to give a speech on Afghanistan. Really, Mayor Wiseman. If you think that is really going on in the White House then I fear for what goes on in Arlington city hall. Do you plan your speeches around when Two and a Half Men is coming on? Were you going to build a new school, but you got caught up with the New Adventures of Old Christine? Really, man? Pull yourself together!!!

Seriously, though, this country is in some serious shit. We are fighting two wars, the economy is still in the crapper, one in ten Americans who want work can't find it, etc. etc. You get the point. There is a lot of shit going on and whether or not A Charlie Brown Christmas comes on is probably not one of the President's top 100000000 concerns. Get over yourself. If you want to have your kids watch it, here's an idea, buy the damn DVD.

Anyway, Mayor Russell Wiseman of Arlington, Tennessee is your Jerkass of the Week.


Grizz playing the Mavs tonight. I'll be watching and reporting.

Lackluster playing the Deli tomorrow night. You should be there. We will be bringing a lot of rock.

Have a great weekend, folks. Go Grizz!!! Get crunk!!!

Palin said in an interview recently that the McCain camp should have lied to the American public more during the campaign. I'm paraphrasing, but she said they should have beat the Birther drum much harder.

Am I the only one who thinks it's hilarious whenever someone refers to the Tea Baggers, and conservative pundits say it's offensive?

I like #3 better than #6 ;)

JPinto, I think this is what you were referring to about Palin.

Hatch
went on for an hour
on the senate floor about how Republicans with 60 votes would “get this country under control.”

2 things:

1. he's stalling which is the only partisan thing Republicans can do at this point

2. did he forget 2000-2006 when Republicans controlled Congress and the White House...were these the golden years of US Health Care? Wait, Republicans did nothing in the way of Health Care other than putting money in Big Pharma's pockets and turned a blind eye as Insurance companies took money from our pockets.

If that's the control Hatch wants, I don't want any part of it. Now who's the tea bagger?

Hatch is my JOW.
