In an interesting shoe of force, I mean, show of force an Iraqi Journalist, Muthathar al Zaidi threw his boots at the soon to be exiting U.S. President. "The boots were made for throwing and that is what I'll do, one of these days these boots are going to beat all over you," was heard coming out of Zaidi after he was dragged out of the news conference held in Iraq.
Bush made a surprise visit hoping to receive a warm reception for his great job in Iraq and all he got was a size 10 boot thrown at him. By the looks of the video, Bush has had practice dodging dangerous things like the draft, personal responsibility, the constitution, habeas corpus, anti-torture laws, health care, having an infrastructure to handle U.S. disasters and I could go on but I don't have time to type an encyclopedia.
As for Muthathar al Zaidi, he received a nice warm applause from millions of people around the globe...No he received a ass kicking from Iraqi Security because he missed.

Ralph Sucks
I hate most large chain grocery stores especially ones that coerce you into getting a "CLUB CARD". The club is used to track your shopping, find out what you buy and then to advertise directly to your shopping needs and or addictions.
So after working out, and feeling really good, I stop off at a local Ralphs to get breakfast. I look in my car for a reusable bag and I have none then I check my pocket for the "Club Card". I was thinking about going to the 99 Cents Store but their fruit is mostly rotten and their toilet paper not soft. Plus one ends up buying crap one doesn't need because everything is so cheap. Getting back to Ralphs, I finish buying some fruit and some water. I notice that there is a new brand called PRIMO. It was on sale and the bottles were made out of plants and were renewable, I decided to try it out. I feel badly about buying water. I think it is a crying shame that we have been convinced and or tricked to put up with the propaganda that tap water is undrinkable and that we should buy something that should be an indelible right. We have also allowed our streams and other water sources to be contaminated. So we end up buying plastic water filled bottles that are shipped from thousands of miles away (in some cases) that will clog up our land fills and use enormous amounts of gas in the transportation of something that should be free and easily assessable. So after moving to the front of the store ignoring all the impulse racks full of sugared filled candy, hyped caffeinated energy drinks, and transfatty potato chips, I make my way to purchase. I notice there are kiosks for self check out. I take one. It of course takes longer to self check out than to go to a clerk. And this particular Ralph's never seems to have enough staff there at peak hours. There is only one lane open with a real live clerk. So I end up being a clerk and a bagger. And I realize it took me much longer to do the work that I'm paying for with my MONEY! The convenience of having someone who works for the store checking customers and bagging the groceries is over. Now I have to do it. I ask the lady who has a scanner, "How many people lost their jobs when Ralphs converted to the self check out machines?" She said that she didn't know. I told her that I supported the Striike that happen (a year or two ago) but what was it all for? I'm sure many lost their jobs anyway.

Hawaii Goes Electric
As a solution to importing fuel, reducing emissions and loosing jobs, Hawaii has jumped on board to increase Electric Cars on the island. By 2012, Hawaii will increase Electric cars by 70%. The island will have electric cars increased in their rental fleets as well as electric car infrastructures provided by a Better Place (a company that exchanges depleted lithium ion batteries with fully charged ones). Hawaii beleives this will reduce dependency on foreign oil, help clean the envirnoment and increase jobs by recirculating money on the Island.
According to Ralph Nader (ex-Presidential candidate and consumer advocate), 2/3rds of American Autoworkers jobs over the last 15 years have been lost. While the auto giants are going to Washington to asked for more BAILOUT money, now is the time to push for higher mpg, lower emissions standards and auto jobs staying in America.
GM, one of the auto companies going back to beg, should be highly reprimanded for destroying their EV1 (an electric car) that was test marketed several years ago.
If you would like to learn more about Electric Cars, check out Plug In America.org (take out the spaces) and a Better Place.com.
Later models of hybrids from 2004 on can be turned into electric cars.

SHAUNA SAND Shops For Star

Shauna Sand went shopping for a star at Target. After having " ta-tas augmentation", Sand was able to look for the topper for her family's Xmas tree. Shauna said she was in a lot of pain and that she really needed to be in bed. Thank Goodness for Vicodin and a handsome Swedish guy to help drive you around. Shauna Sand has more men than MAE WEST. I wish Shauna would teach me how to do it. She always has a new man. Speaking of men, one of hers disappeared. He has been missing for 2 months. Anyway, I have to look through my pix and post his picture. I always tease Shauna that her french hubby off'd him.
Shauna said she is finally leaving (1,000th) time her fine french husband after getting another restraining order against him. Also Sand said that her German TV Show project is going well and wraps on Monday. Next she will be performing in a show in Las Vegas. Shauna is a trained dancer which I didn't know. And she will be working on her own show for the States. The world needs a show on Shauna Sand. Trust me it is better than a soap opera.

Stars Shine at Hollywood X-Mas Parade

As Jupiter and Venus twinkled under a Crescent Moon, the Hollywood Christmas Parade went on while the Jonas Brothers had a concert at the same time at the Palladium. Traffic was a mess but who really cared while so many were enjoying the holidays.
I wanted to wear something festive, so I pulled out a funny X-Mas hat and ended wearing two catsuits with the purple one on top. Kids kept thinking I was a Huge Purple Elf. I got a kick out of that. Anyway,
Prince Frederick was riding in his white Rolls we met up and he left me without any press credentials at the parade site. So I was asked over and over where my credentials were. I said I was with the Prince
. After the 100th time they left me alone. Just a few of the stars participating:
David Carradine
Fred Willard
Kyle Massey 
Shirley Jones & Marty Engel
Cast of Twilight
Cast of Young & Restless
American Idols
actors
comedians, high school bands, dance troupes, horse teams & a host of volunteers and staff that made it all possible.One of the best moments of the evening was when Shirley Jones
(Patridge Family) was trying to get her (Marty Engel) husband to stop yapping to the press and get into the
car.
Marty Engel had a brief case and it was full of candy. He gave it out to the kids around me and we all were smiling because we had never seen a brief case full of candy before.
BLACK FRIDAY R.I.P. - Rip Off
Even though I was desperately in need of a new computer and had spent hours researching ads from various stores, I just couldn't get myself to stand outside in the cold for 5-8 hours to get a cheaper deal. I decided to sleep instead. I woke up early and went to a Best Buy that looked like a War Zone. Long lines, people driving crazy in the parking lot, boxes placed to block people from entering, I ended up leaving and going to another store. I went to Staples. Of course their computers were already sold out. They had a deal on a camera they said it came with a printer for free. I was in line to purchase it and the total was over $300. I said to the sales person, "you must have rung it up wrong". She said no she hadn't that the "free" printer was a mail in rebate. I said HELL NO. That is false advertising and that wasn't what I was told originally. I was pissed and left that store. Then I went to Office Depot. Of course there advertised computer was already sold out so I was looking at others. I spent too much time looking and comparing specifics - that is how I like to shop. Rushing around isn't my cup of tea. I like to know what I'm getting and matching it with what I can afford. So there was this computer, I was looking at. The sales person said it was the last one. Then one said we have some computers in the back so I went to look at those. Another salesperson told me that they only had one computer in the back while the manager had told me there were several. So I went back to the manager he showed me 3 other ones out of my price range. I went back to the computer that I had seen. There was a price on it that was a little more than I wanted but I was well I'll get it. Everything was sold out at the other stores. So when I went to purchase it, I was told I had to buy extra this and extra that. The total was close to $200 more. I was walking out the store and the manager was like Oh I will deduct this and I will give you a free that. I was like HELL NO!!!!! And decided to shop later. I'm comforted myself by going to Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles and got me some grits added. I felt much better after eating and then decided to check back with the stores after the mad rush.
I heard about the man who worked at a Wal-Mart getting trampled to death over some bullshit cheap merchandise probably assembled by slave labor in China. This sales HYPE is all so stupid. People become mobs over crap. How many plasma TVs does one really need?
Saturday night I went back to a Best Buy after I had called on the phone and I was told they still had some on sale computers in stock so I went over. When I got there the salesperson did a physical check and said they had NONE. They had some E Machines (that nobody wanted) and of course they had some other ones that were available. I explained to the salesperson that I was told they had them in and I was getting upset that I was repeatedly getting false information. Another family that was standing near me said the same thing. They ended up leaving. The salesperson showed me a computer that was again out of my price comfort zone. He also told me the sale computers that were listed for BLACK FRIDAY didn't come with Software. It was an add on and it wasn't really the better deal. I realized it was all BullShit.
If I had gotten the computer on Black Friday I would have had to spend another $200 or so on software and etcs. Finally the guy whispered to me, just come back on Sunday or Monday. He said check the flyer in Sunday's paper and they will have the best deals. I did and he was right. So all the hype was a waste a time for me. The real deal for me at least happened Monday night. The most positive thing that happened out of all this was I talked with a MAC guy at Best Buy who really knew his merchandise better than the Grove Mac Guys who rush one through. Anyway, after talking to him, I realized I really want a MAC. I'm going to save up for one. There are no real sales on MACs. They cost what they cost but for what I have to do with editing photos and videos etc, MAC seems like the purrrfect fit for me.
