    OK, why the……

    I mean, really, just what the……

    *sound of feet running, followed by retching*

    I don’t ever want to hear the name “Honey Boo Boo” every again. And why the hell does the mom look like “Slimer” from the movie “Ghostbusters”? Really?

    What geezerette said. People make money off of freak shows. How else could you explain it?

    LOL at Dave’s Slimer comment.

    Saw MSNBC clip comin’ up.
    Hit pause. Hit reload page. Went out to garage. Got shovel. Dug hole. Buried it. Tamped it down good. Sowed ground with salt. Peed on it. Poured reinforced-concrete cap. Erected barbed-wire fence around it. Electrified fence. Mined perimeter. Hired Vodoo priest to cast spell. Mailed form to Vatican to have it registered as unholy ground.

    Now, what were we talkin’ about?

    And a bunch of years ago I thought nothing could be worse or have bigger losers than the Jerry Springer show.

    What is Mika wanting to do?

    It’s like my comment about the 2016 movie. WTF is happening to the citizens of this country????? Everyone thinks the bad economy is the most important thing that’s happening. HUH– I beg to differ.

    So:

    I’m a Scoutmaster. Kid joins Troop. Kid is about 5′ 6″. Kid is 200+ lbs. if he’s an ounce. We are an active Troop. We built a tower out of trees we cut (with permission …) and ropes. Kid can’t climb tower.

    I get a call from Dad. “Kids called my son fat! Scouts shouldn’t do that!” Yeah, well, I’m sorry about that. But that’s gonna happen when your kid is the size he is. “My son’s not fat! He’s big-boned.”

    So needless to say that kid quit the Troop. If Dad is determined to avoid reality the kid doesn’t have much hope of recognizing it.

    If you look at TV shows that are out there, and the numbers of the people watching them, you’ll see another facet of why I think this country is doomed.

    geezerette 9: I see the bad economy as a symptom of the bad things that are happening….

    (which implies that there will be no long term fix, without changing the very flow of things that are fundamental)

    Mika is beginning to look like Paris Hilton, and is certainly no brighter. I guess that’s enough to qualify to comment on Dem politics and world affairs in the pink tinged MSM world.
    In the same vein, I have used chicken hearts for fish bait, so I think I’ll hang out my cardiologist shingle.

    MSNBC and Honey Boo Boo- both are sideshows. The latter might be a little more aware of that fact though.

    So called reality television is why I don’t watch the idiot box anymore. The few shows I like, I download. The rest of the time I either read, or practice skills that I want to learn. Rocksmith for Guitar has been awesome, and Rosetta Stone for the Language side, as well as the ebook library of doom.

    I suspect that the blondie is smarter than any three of those guys combined.

    However, if I’m right that still wouldn’t mean that her IQ had to be much over 90.

    accipiter – Exactly. What geezerette said about that family. All the way to the bank.

    How do you spot a family of *Useless Eaters*?

    When their daughter looks at the camera and says, “We`re Fat!”

    While grinning like a possum eating briars!

    And by the way, that $4000 dollars will never make it to the bank in the hands of these Cretins………..
