Smug Smackdown
When I woke up this morning and saw the special election results from the Congressional races in New York and Nevada, I knew that this was the beginning of the end for the Obama regime.
Congressional seat NY 09 was won by a Republican for the first time in NINETY YEARS, and if that isn’t a sign that “we the people” are fed up with this arrogant administration, I don’t know what is.
Some conservative pundits are saying that the seat was won because of Jewish voters who are tired of Obama’s anti-Israel policies.
Others say that the unions stayed home for this election.
Even the Democrats, like Debbie Wasserman Schultz are blatantly lying, saying that this was a “difficult district for Democrats”.
Yeah, right, Deb. And I suppose you’re going to try to sell me that Brooklyn bridge, too.
But I have a different take on this election.
I think this was a vote against smugness.
Average Americans have had enough of this smug, self-approving Democratic regime, and they are now getting off their couches, putting down their Pepsi’s and heading to the voting booth.
We’ve had enough of being told to eat our peas and make a few sacrifices while the President of our country jets around on one vacation after another.
We’re sick of being told how brilliant the President is by sycophantic, tingley-legged propagandists like Chris Matthews.
We are angry when we see the First Lady making snide remarks about our flag at a memorial service for victims of the worst terrorist attack in our country’s history.
And we’re tired of a White House that talks down to the American people like we’re bratty children needing to be scolded.
Was this Republican win a foreshadowing of what’s to come in 2012?
You bet your ass it was.
If there’s anything the American people hate, it’s a smug politician. And the superior, self-satisfied Obama White House is the epitome of smugness.
Looking down at the American people is not going to get you re-elected.
It’s going to get you a spot in the unemployment line, right next to all of those “little people” that you’ve looked down on for the past 3 years.
As a tea party terrorist SOB, I could be feeling a little smug about the election results in New York and Nevada right now.
But I don’t feel smug.
Instead, I feel determined.
Determined to take this incompetent President and his evil regime down.
One.
Seat.
At.
A.
Time.

Pop Tots: TLC Working with the Left to Normalize Child Exploitation
Megan Fox is a homeschooling, suburban mom in Chicagoland who hosts “The Megan Fox Radio Show” and routinely investigates issues important to her, especially those involving children. Here she explores the disturbing recent trend involving the media’s normalization of child exploitation.
I recently cancelled my cable (for the second time) due to escalating costs and a general disgust at the lack of quality programming. I won’t lie and say I’ve never indulged in reality smut for entertainment. I have caught myself watching Bachelor Pad and no part of me is proud of it. It is the “train-wreck” factor that keeps people paying attention to most of the stuff that passes for good TV.
The other day I caught Toddlers in Tiaras (a disgusting show where mothers, who have failed to make something of themselves, live out weird fantasies of wealth and beauty by forcing their little girls to traipse around in wigs and makeup applied with a trowel.) It was an episode that garnered a lot of controversy because a mother put her 4-year-old in a costume with padded breasts and butt. Frankly, it surprised me that anyone got upset considering the other outrageous things they do to these girls all the time like forcing them to wear false teeth and look like cheap streetwalkers.
Nonetheless, it was the padded butt/boob costume that got tongues wagging. Shortly after that episode, another featured a 3-year-old parading around in the prostitute costume Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman complete with hooker boots and cheap wig. While the general public finds such things repulsive, TLC continues to air what amounts to child abuse every week.

5 Clues in Sarah Palin’s 9/12/11 Greta appearance that she’s running for president
After last night’s GOP presidential debate on CNN (sponsored by the Tea Party, live from Tampa, Florida), Governor Sarah Palin appeared on Greta van Susteran’s “On the Record” with her commentary on the declared candidates. Though the Governor’s supporters have known she’s running for president for some time (and, has in fact been running since 2008, the media will eventually see in retrospect), there were 5 clear clues in her FOX appearance last night that the Governor’s soon to announce her candidacy, though on her own timetable.
Utah Ground Report: Who’s really being victimized?
Dear HillBuzz -
Maybe it’s just because HillBuzz.org has been covering this lately, but I have noticed things around me that tie into issues we Buzzers have had great discussions about – namely bullies who claim they are the victims.
It started with the Only@Brunch guys making derogatory comments about Trig Palin in Chicago and The Ben Cohen Standup Foundation hypocritically holding an anti-bullying event in the venue where those bullying attacks were showcased. And I have to hand it to the HillBuzz crew for standing up for Trig and everyone else who gets picked on in the gay community because of their handicaps or what-have-you. Also, HillBuzz’s highlighting of the Gaystapo’s constant targeting of people they don’t agree with has made me realize how much those who claim to be victims are really the bullies.

2008 – Delhi, India, is hit by a series of bomb blasts, resulting in 30 deaths and 130 injuries. Those responsible? Yup, you guessed it. Muslim males between the ages of 17-41. No pattern here! Keep strip searching retired nuns and girl scouts at the airports and humiliating WWII veterans with body cavity searches, you geniuses at the TSA!
2005 – A glitch in the MMORPG World of Warcraft results in a plague affecting thousands of players. I love Warcraft, which my boyfriend doesn’t understand. I am trying to work up the nerve to write an essay about how the Chinese force people to sit at computers all day to mine gold and sell it to people in the virtual world of warcraft, which really happens. But, I’m not ready to do full posts yet. These little Today in History things are hard enough for me. But I think my first essay will be about the Chinese abusing warcraft for profit.
1953 – Nikita Khrushchev is appointed secretary-general of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Does anyone else get weirdly nostalgic for the days when America’s greatest enemies had hard-to-spell names that at least didn’t have “Muhammed” or “Hussein” or “bin something or another” in them? It would be nice if the people in the highest levels of our own government didn’t have names like that either.
1948 – Margaret Chase Smith is elected senator, and becomes the first woman to serve in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the United States Senate. 2012 will be a historic year for women too, you betcha. Despite the best efforts of all known “feminists” to stop it…and you know who.

TAKE ACTION: Please write a letter or send a postcard to Governor Sarah Palin asking her to run for president.

QUESTION: Do any of you have access to an archived copy of George Magazine from either April or May 1998?
The very first thing I ever wrote that appeared in print was a Letter to the Editor that I sent to John F. Kennedy regarding the March 1998 issue of George Magazine, which had John Travolta on the cover. My good friend Jane from college urged me to send the letter in after I’d written her an email about the cover photo. Kennedy published the letter either the next issue or the one after that (which would have been April or May of 1998).
I don’t know of any online archives of George Magazine and I don’t know where to start looking. I don’t need the whole magazine, just the Letter to the Editor that I wrote to Kennedy.
I want to be able to print this out and frame it so I can show it to Justin and put it up on the wall where I write my content for HillBuzz so I can be inspired by how much I’ve grown since those early days writing letters to the editor, a full decade before I even considered starting a website.
It would mean a lot to me on a very personal level if someone with great research skills could point me to where I could find a scan of that April or May 1998 George Magazine.
