Big Hat, Tiny B@lls, atcha!

And here I thought Texas did things BIG.. has the biggest sport stadium, athletes with the biggest salaries, second biggest economy, some of the biggest boobs (plus some of the largest breasts *tricksy titters*) and, get this, the tiniest b@lls.  Really.

Seems BIG-everything TEXAS has been cowed by the recent threat of flight cancellations if the Texas-generated anti-TSA-groping bill passes.  The .government letter on U.S. Department of Justice, Western District of Texas stationery warned that if HR 1937 was enacted, it would likely seek an emergency stay of the statute,

“Unless or until such a stay were granted, TSA would likely be
required to cancel any flight or series of flights for which it could
not ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

“We urge that you consider the ramifications of this bill before casting your vote,” the letter concluded.” (emphasis is PuC’s)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t that constitute coercion?  Government by force?  Police state-ish?

For me, Texas is exposing it’s BIG manliness in a BIG way, NOT! This anti-TSA-groping bill was a step in the right direction and caving-in makes Texas look politically eunuch-ish.   According to me.  Me being PuC-ish..  and all.

Just sayin’..

Constitution: No American with a FOREIGN parent is eligible for the presidency

BO’s eligibility to reign resides mainly in the insane..

oy, teh rats is playing wit de mice-eez by obfuscating the real gist of de story which is that O‘s fahder was Kenyan under British rule (which, in turn, made O a Brit at birth).  Now, all you whizbang reporters and journalists do some bloody research for a change – we are becoming overly suspicious of your credentials.  Read the Constitution.  For starters..

..just a clue..  ya know..(“,)..

..the whole ‘birther’ issue covered by the LameStreamMedia moguls & minions center around where where where prez-waldO was born.  THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE AT HAND!  The issue is the fact that

BARACK OBAMA SR. WAS A BRITISH SUBJECT at the time of
Hiz Royal O Magnum Mysterium’s birth WHICH DISQUALIFIES
JUNIOR FROM THE PRESIDENCY OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

AND THE LAME STREAM MEDIA KNOWS IT.

YOU THINK WE’RE STUPID AND DON’T KNOW OUR CONSTITUTION?
THINK AGAIN!

IF YOU DON’T, THEN READ THE DAMN THANG!

Beware May 14, 2011 New Madrid update and other planned havoc..

Found this over on  Repubx.   Read into this what you will, but this is some creepy and urgent stuff if real and bacon’s in the makin’..

“From Blogsphere:

“The “once in 500 year” flooding of the Mississippi river over the New Madrid fault line is part of a campaign directed against the American people, according to multiple intelligence agency (MI6, CIA, FSB, Japan Security police) sources. The HAARP caused flooding is expected to be followed by an earthquake and then a “nuclear emergency” involving the 15 nuclear reactors located in the region. This will be a pretext for mass evacuations into FEMA camps, the sources say. The best way to derail this plan, apart from arresting the criminal cabal in Washington D.C., is to widely announce and denounce these plans in advance.

“The people planning this attack are the same ones who orchestrated the recent earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster attack on Japan, the sources said. The attack on Japan involved long term planning. A suitcase nuclear device was brought in by sea to a remote island in the Okinawan archipelago before being brought to Kyushu by a fishing boat, according to a whistleblower within the group that smuggled in the weapon. The weapon was then taken by car to a property in Hinode, Tokyo owned by former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone. From there it was taken to the Chosen Soren (North Korean) headquarters in Tokyo before being transferred to the deep ocean drilling ship the Chikyumaru, according to the whistleblower. The bomb was then placed in a hole drilled 10 kilometers into the seabed off the coast of Japan where it was exploded, thus triggering the earthquake and tsunami. The subsequent “nuclear accident” was sabotage intended to provide a cover story for the radiation released by the bomb.”

Let’s hope this ‘news’ is a hoax and/or some mistaken exuberance of mayhemites amongus.  In any event, let’s make a viral call for substantiation.. for all our sakes.. are ya with me, Vern?

Mission Creep

Military ‘Courtesy Patrol’ began in Uptown Columbus, Georgia (USA) this past Friday, 4/22/11, citing two (2) incidents (in early April) to justify military presence in the streets:

#1 – Police allege that 5 soldiers beat another soldier (former), putting him in the hospital with head injuries.
#2 – “..a shooting that left four injured – one fatally – at Mario’s restaurant on Broadway.”
#3 Charlotte Burton says the extra patrols may not be enough and thinks they’ll need to “increase the security being offered.. a lot of people come down here at night.”
#4 – Specialist Ryan Jesse stationed at Fort Benning says of the ‘courtesy’ military patrol, “It keeps things in check. It avoids thing (not PuC’s typo ;) getting out of hand which happens a lot with soldiers unfortunately.” (PuC’s emphasis)
#5 – This is not the first Columbus has needed the help of military ‘courtesy’ patrols although it’s been years since the last time it was implemented.

All that*, for just two incidents (2, count’m), one of which was U.S. servicemen Gone Wild and the other perhaps a Bad-Food-Fight-Gone-Wrong shooting over at Mario’s Restuarant?
 
Velly, velly in..sterrr..esting, vouldn’t you say..?

FOX 5, Lissen up: ‘Lie To Me’ and ‘Human Target’ are hands-off, ya hear! ;>

With all due love and respect, FOX (First on Xcellence? We’ll see),  if you cancel Lie To Me  and/or Human Target and renew Fringe only, our relationship is over! As in O.V.E.R!   If you guys can’t get it that good shows take a while to garner a faithful, mature audience, then – YOU’LL  NEVER GET IT! As for me, that means I don’t want to be associated with any fox that shows itself during daylight, iff’nyaknowwhaddamean, Vern.   You can’t break up sacred trilogy, man! Get a grip.   Get with the program.  Lead – or get out of the way.   Lead the  TV networks to include intelligent, savvy, engaging shows with good writers.

The acclaimed and consummate Awards-winning actor Tim Roth‘s role as Dr. Cal Lightman is as good as it gets.   Exquisite, man.  Roth has a loooong list of  exceptional accomplishments in off-beat movies and TV.  You can see why PopUpCommontater occasionally seeks advice and consultation with Dr. Lightman, right? ;>  I greatly admire the whole cast.  Each bringing something different to the whole.   Kelli Williams brings beauty, smarts, and sexy tension to the Lightman/Dr. Gillian Foster relationship which is believable.   Monica Raymund/Ria Torres and Brendan Hines/Eli Loker are a pleasure to watch in their respective roles;  Ria with her innate  ability to do what Lightman took years to learn – sets up the underlying tension of envy coming from Lightman towards Torres, yes?  Raymund also has innate acting ability having been cast in Lie To Me as a virtual graduate of “..the acting program at The Juilliard School, where she won the coveted John Houseman Award for Commitment and Dedication to the Development of Young American Actors.”  I can tell you she’s passed the muster test for talent as far as I’m concerned.  Another beauty with brains for TV Land.  (And FOX wants to can this show – how stoopid can.. aaaaaaackkkk).  Brendan Hines is probably best known for his recurring role on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles another show I loved that was cancelled.  You get a 2-fer with Hines.  He’s not only an actor.  He’s also a singer-songwriter who performs in a band called The Brendan Hines which hails from Los Angeles.  Hmm.. I wonder if there are other Hines performing in the band?  Last, but not in any terms least, is cutie Hayley Mcfarland who plays Dr. Lightman’s (and ex-wife Zoe) daughter Emily.  She’s a great actress and perfectly suited  for the complex Lightman.  IMHO, she’s mature beyond her years and a force to be reckoned with;  her acting ability rivals the younger Jodie Foster, Tatum O’Neal, Elizabeth Taylor.

Human Target went off the rails when they brought in a potential love interest for Christopher Chance/MarkValley,  sorry.  This show should have stuck to showcasing Mark Valley as the Human Target..  He made the Christopher Chance character bigger than life.   Super heroes shouldn’t be bogged down by ‘love interests’ and mere mortal ‘attachments’.   Super heroes should be for Everyman, not one woman, dig?  But hey, that’s just my opinion.  Another reason this show went off the rails is because the show episodes were as hard to find as a ricocheting racket ball. Certainly no fault of its stellar cast , FOX.  You didn’t mentor this great show as well as you could have or should have.  Again, you didn’t give much respect to the great cast you were lucky to get.  Shame on you!  How come you can’t see a winner when its in your face, huh?   With Chi McBride/Winston and Jackie Earle Haley/Guerrero joining Valley, we have another perfect trinity of stars.  These actors have known each other and worked together since Way Back When.  It shows.  Their perfect chemistry on Human Target is testimony to this mega display of simpatico. And I’m not suggesting the new additions to the show in the persons of Indira Varma/Ilsa Pucci and Janet Montgomery/Ames detracts from the show.  Not at all! They add the necessary spice-n-nice plus intelligence-with-beauty necessary to authenticate women in TV roles.  I just don’t want the hero fallin’ in love with one of them. heh heh.   Best for Last:  If you want to read the best Save Human Target Again commentary, this is it, by Brittany Frederick on Starpulse.

You’ve already pissed me off by canceling  The Good Guys starring Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford.  Can it get any better than this?  [YOU: Ahhhh,  ha, ya dummy.  You just said the same thing about Lie To Me, PuC head!]   This duo has great comedic chemistry! And, Whitford (actor of high-caliber), Whitford, is as hilarious as Hanks is a-good lookin’ as his Dad, dudes.   FOX, you’re crazy for taking The Good Guys off the air.  [Crazy fox - daylight -rabid, get it? heh]

And while I’m at it I’d like to serve up the same cluepon to FX concerning Justified.

[original image Think Magazine]

Don’t mess with Justified, FX, or I will ax.. AX..all viewership on FX if you mess with Justified.   It just doesn’t get any better than.. [I know, I know.]  Timothy Olyphant is one of my favorite actors of late.  I’m glad to see his star rising; he was truly 60′s hep in Rock Star with Mark Wahlburg and crazy bad in Hitman, but Olyphant  is truly stellar as the captivating and complex Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens on Justified, ok?

Olyphant is a master of nuance and captivates his audience with his hypnotic intensity.  His seamless characterization as the captivating Raylan Givens convinces the viewer of his character’s, and Olyphant’s own, authenticity and smoldering intellect.

*BREAKING NEWS* Stand-off at Kuckoo Korral Update (..gag…)

[sigh..]

O, here we go again, folks.  The Congressional stand-off.  Just like all the other stand-offs.  We fools need to think Congress is at odds with each other, or with Prez-O, in order for us to think they’re actually at odds with each other..  our so-called two-party farce force..  so us little people will think their representatives are actually fighting principled for us..  for our good benefit! *bwahahaha*  They’ll go on TV and bad-mouth each other, too..then hook-up later for their usual cluster gigglefest!  Hey! Hey! Hey! We snowed’em again, guys!

Silly sausages.

Wanna make a bet the stand-off ends at the 11th hour?

LIKE ALL THE OTHERS!!!

.

UPDATE (4.9.11):  DRUDGE REPORT headline:  11th HOUR: LET’S MAKE A DEAL.
[And no, I'm not Drudge. *smirk*]
(Obama) Takes credit for ‘biggest annual spending cut in history’..
[That's PR spin at its best, folks.  'They' must be worried. ;]

(gag…)

Paging Dr. Cal Lightman.. your expert opinion is requested, sir..

Dear Dr. Cal Lightman,

America needs you.  Americans don’t think anyone in DC can be trusted.  You’re the expert.  Americans need to know how that ‘hope and change’ thing is going for our Prez-O.

This is your baseline, Dr. Lightman.

Is he hiding something from the American people that we ought to know about, Dr. Lightman?  Maybe you should put him in the cage?  Interrogate him. See if he can answer tough questions – on his own. Don’t let Teleprompter in the same room with him, ok?  Don’t be afraid to tell us if his olde ‘Hope & Change’ thingee has morphed into Nope & Same, or, Dope & Lame; ya see my point? Ohhhh, and can you actually see his strings? I mean, seein’ as you’re intuitive and prescient and all, can you see things we can’t, like who’s behind the curtain, even?  Thank you, Dr. Lightman.  It seems you’re one of the only high-profile dudes these days who cares about lyin’ in public places. I’m the other one.

I’m glad to be watching you at work.  I’m learning a whole lot from you.  Keep up the good work and keep in touch.

Respectfully yours,
PopUpCommontater

Exquisite

The Daily Caller‘s Mike Riggs offers up the most exquisite quote of the day. He describes the essence of  the magnitude of moment.  In this instance, Obama adviser Valerie Jarret’s faux pas expressed during an upscale dinner hosted by the hoity-toity Alfalfa Club (whoa!..of Spanky and Our Gang fame!?!);  she flags down a general parading several stars walking in front of her table, Garçon! “I’d like another glass of wine,” (Mike Riggs) puts Jarret’s bona-fried line right up there with Joe Wilson’s “You lie!” screech and the Jesse Jackson cutting remark into a hot mic that he wanted to castrate Obama – with the following zinger:

Like coal crushed into diamonds by the pressure of a million eyeballs, such moments are forever.

Now that line is a thing of beauty!

Dugway Proving Ground in Utah on Lockdown!

Dugway’s PR spokesmanperson, Al Vogel, would only say that Dugway has been on lockdown since 5:24 pm Wednesday; more than 1,000 employees were not allowed to leave and employees arriving for work have not been allowed access, or so the story goes.  All this drama and Vogel merely chirps there were no injuries, no damage and no threats. But Twitter is all a-twit-ing with speculation syndrome.  Don’t bother! Nothing to see here. Move along.  The punch bowl has exhausted its Kool-Aid.  Someone must have muttered too loudly ‘well, that forces me to go to the cafeteria for my usual cholesterol bomb..  u know, the club sammy piled a foot high with layer after layer of cheese, bacon, cheese, ham, cheese, pickles, cheese, mayo, cheese, lettuce, hamburger, cheese, bacon, hamburger, ketchup, cheese, onions, cheese and topped with a delicate slice of crispy bacon on a bed of cheese smothered under a bun.  (No one’s sayin’ whose bun.)  I think said cholesterol bomb what sent everyone scrambling for cover.. and the necessary lockdown..  until they find cholesterol.  .. what a strange name for a bomb, no?

Oh, I should add that Dugway Proving Ground is an Army testing and training base where ‘military’ weapons are tested.  Like hard weapons and those that can be sprayed into the air until ‘not even a mouse was stirring’.

*burp* ..and to all you naysayers regarding the nefarious notions of chemical potions..

Oh, shhh-ut up!

Chemtrails are the real-deal.    PopUpCommontator commends Harold Dean Berry for speaking out about the spraying going on over Elko County, Nevada, in his comments below.  Do the research, people.  Speak truth to power long, deep, and continuously.   And for those who may call you nucking futz, tell them PopUpCommontater says Bite Me!  and get off your arses and do the research, cite 3 credible sources or more before you speak.   When you have the facts, you’ll have no trouble speaking the truth to those who will listen, and don’t worry about those who may humor you about the subject, at least they will walk away inquisitive and curious.   Truth invites enlightenment, sayeth PuC.  Peace out.
