Tonight, we are to be treated to the spectacle of Obama's first state of the union address, one that I predict few people will even bother viewing. I, however, in deference to and showing great love for my readers, most of whom would rather poke out their eyes with an ice pick than watch Obama spout nonsense syllables, will dutifully turn on my TV in order to give future pithy commentary (all without the help of mind numbing drugs - ain't I grand??)
I wouldn't want to miss the "Look, let me be clear" president telling us, once again, how he brought us back from the brink of certain disaster caused by Boooooooosh, saved or created one gazillion jobs, will freeze discretionary spending while at the same time calling for a "jobs" (don't call it stimulus) bill costing our nearly bankrupt country billions, reminding us that without his health care bill, people will be dropping like cockroaches after a major bug-spray program, all the while giving himself a "solid B+. No sirree! Wouldn't want to miss that!
On February 7th, the next great spectacle will occur. It's called the Super Bowl. It is much like the Roman games of old except without the lions. I predict the ratings will be way higher for the Super Bowl than for the State of the Union address.

There has been a bunch of lunatics really, really upset with an ad, paid for by Focus on the Family, featuring Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, Tim Tebow. While scooting around The Blog Prof's site this morning, I watched a video he posted of Bill O'Reilly interviewing Jehmu Greene, president of the Women's Media Center.
If you need a perfect example of the thinking (?) encountered when dealing with a radical "pro-choice" person, I urge you to pop over and watch this video. What I find most remarkable is the fact that Ms. Greene is a negro African-American black woman. Does she not know that abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood are located in mostly disadvantaged neighborhoods for a reason? Does she not realize about 13 percent of American women are black, but they account for over 37 percent of the abortions? If we lived in Africa, it would be called genocide. But we don't live in Africa - so we call it "choice."
Update: Head over to Bad Habit and read the fine post on "Choice." Excellent!!

I wrote a post about this story today and as I was researching it, I read the NOW site and a few other "Feminist" sites and couldn't believe their twisted logic about how it's "courageous" to have an abortion. I always that it was "courageous" to take responsibility for the life you started instead of killing it and pretending it never happened.
To them, the only choice is killing the baby, they don't want anyone to know there are other choices they could make. The last thing they want is to shed light on the ability women have to make difficult choices.
Mary Ellen - I posted a link to your fine article! Excellent.
Yes - the thinking of "pro-choicers" is very twisted. Up is down, black is white...
Thank you for watching Obama for me. (I don't have television.) I will trust your version of the tall tale.
You may be right about the Super Bowl ratings. Don't everyone throw things at me, but I hate football. I mean I really, really hate it. But, I would rather watch football than listen to Obama.
Packie - I pretty much hate all televised sports and have never seen the attraction.
I do sometimes like to have baseball on the radio during the summer 'cause it reminds me of when I was a little girl. Men during the 1950's always listened to baseball on the weekends...
Radio baseball is the best!
More than anything, thank you Adrienne, for listenting to the 'madness' for us.
Lola - Awwwwwww, shucks... (while scuffling toe)
Hi Adrienne
Some stats from the BBC
Most polls show Mr Obama's popularity hovering around 50% or just below, but his overall approval rating and grades for handling issues like the economy have dropped significantly.
A BBC/Harris poll has found that significant numbers of Americans believe Mr Obama has devoted too little attention to employment (59%), the budget deficit (56%) and the economy (48%).
On the flip side, 44% think he has spent too much time on healthcare reform.
The majority (51%) want him to focus on the economy during his speech, followed by employment (42%).
Opinion on his overall performance is split, with equal numbers (20%) grading his first year performance as an A, a C, and an F.
He has proved most popular in the western states and among people aged 35-44, and least popular in the southern states and with those aged 55 and older.
The poll was conducted online over two days in January. It surveyed 2,010 adults in the US, adjusting for demographic factors and propensity to be online.
Hey Adrinenne
Zero said that the he would allow gays in the military. I pity you guys big time
hey girl....you on facebook???
you GOTTA read Sarah Palin's article yesterday about feminist movements and their take on abortion.....
Thanks for the link love, Adrienne!
Can't wait to see what you have to say about the speech last night.
Abortion= Black Genocide - - Check out Maafa21 Black Genocide in 21st Century America here: http://www.maafa21.com
Abortion as a right is a eugenics concept. Its aim is the remove fathers from families by eliminating all of men's reproductive rights, and thereby undermining the traditional family.
Abortion has always been more about eliminating fathers than empowering women.
Smiley - once again you prove that often folks outside of the USA are better informed than many of our own citizens!
Mary Ellen - You did a MUCH better job vetting that speech than I could ever do. I'm more of a "cut to the chase" kind of person. It's the ADD.
javelineer - absolutely dead on!!!
Adrienne: Thank you for pointing out a very hidden "dirty secret" of Planned Parenthood (I HATE that name!!) et. al., focusing upon the poor and minorities (in other words, the "undesirables").
Their "mother foundress", Margaret Sanger, promoted eugenics (particularly the "blacks", Jews, Catholics and poor). Nice legacy, no?
And she, an apostate Irish Catholic...
Nazareth Priest - Margaret Sanger was a truly horrible person...and Planned "Parenthood" is the work of the devil.
