Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Image created at GlassGiant.comCrazy, crazy days, these have been. Reading the headlines crossed over from April Fool’s Day and finding that the stories that seemed like jokes were not laughable, at all. Little kids plotting to kill their teacher. Bernanke speaking in hushed voice about the current impending great depression recession. A Democrat actually getting a significant discount during a recent visit to a prostitute (well, compared to Eliot Spitzer).

Sometimes I think I read/watch too much news. It’s making me jaded to the point where, although some things make me want to throw things and yell at the top of my lungs, “WTF???”, most days, nothing surprises me anymore.

I’m in the mood for another classic rock golden oldie: DON HENLEY “Dirty Laundry” (live)

I don’t believe today’s Ten Post Round-Up will make me any less jaded:

1: How do I put this delicately? The taxpayer Pentagon is spending Tiffany prices for dollar store quality goods and not even getting our their money’s worth, yet still grossly overbudget…

About that military budget George…Bring It On!

2: Riddle Me This: Hasn’t this country had enough of one overgrown frat boy’s antics over the last 8 years?…

In Praise of the Lowest Common DenominatorBlondeSense

3: Can we play another game, this one sucks! Rock, paper, scissors, perhaps?…

4: Question of the day: Would watching Faux Nooz make Dizzy more or less jaded?…

ImageChef.com - Custom comment codes for MySpace, Hi5, Friendster and more I know many people who visited my blog on April Fool’s Day, probably thought that I had jumped off the deep end. Rest assured, I am completely sane, at least according to my own biased standards…

In the spirit of April Fool’s Day past, I offer this video: Steve Miller Band – The Joker

Some of the posts in today’s Ten Post Round-Up are no joke:

1: Ignored: Voter intimidation of African-Americans in Dallas…

The FBI Ignored Threats to Black VotersAlterNet

2: Bad Publicity Sucks: Walmart cries “uncle”…

Wal-Mart Backs Down, Drops Draconian Reimbursement CaseCrooks and Liars

3: I Spy: Google goes into business with the CIA and the NSA…sort of…

4: Brown-Nosing: China pwns the U.S., therefore Bush must go to China…

No kidding, it’s April Fool’s Day and there are a whole lot of April Fools in the news and, alas, none of them are very funny.

Just for fun, I thought you all would get a kick out of the footage of GWB getting booed: Bush booed at 2008 Nationals home opener

There will probably be a few boos heard about today’s Ten Post Round-Up:

1: Lack of health care coverage is no joke, but the current initiatives in place in two states are not exactly sound, either…

Cautionary Health Care TalesAlterNet

2: Obvious Alert: “Multiracial people aren’t some new hot thing”. My own children and many of my siblings, nieces, and nephews are multiracial. My grandmother used to call us her very own “Rainbow Coalition”…

We can’t stop here! This is MULTIRACIAL country!The Angry Black Woman

3: See what happens when you don’t corral people into political free speech zones to protect GWB from teh negative?…

4: Ironic? Guy who gives advice on how to deal with credit cards gets the runaround from his own credit card company…
