White trash at the State of the Union

I didn't watch President Obama's last State of the Union address, I worked.  However, I did see that Kentucky's Queen of White Trash did manage to get a ticket.  And, of course, people were curious.  And, of course, her pimp Mat Staver said an admirer had given her the ticket, which was true, however the admirer isn't exactly bragging about it.  That admirer was none other then Jim Jordan, Representative from Ohio, a man who's been given several awards by the anti-gay establishment, and now his office is saying they didn't know who was getting the ticket.  Ahh, I smell bullshit, since he and her pimp seem to be on a first name basis.
Anyway, I thought it interesting that Kim decided to dress up in true White Trash Fashion.

She wore some sort of frock with an American Flag jacket.  Of course, it isn't really an American Flag, just the red, white and blue and stars.  You know, if that had been a Democrat, or an Independent, the crazy conservatives would have been throwing up a shit storm.  But for White Trash Kim, that kind of get up is fine and dandy.  She's proving that she's a true American wack job, the same kind they hold near and dear in their crazy, conservative hearts.

Memorial Day parasites

For those of you who don't know it, tomorrow is Memorial Day here in the United States.  This day was set aside as a National Holiday when we could remember those who have given their lives so we might live free.  This is also the day American Retailers have decided is the first "great holiday' of the summer season.  They want you to remember to go out and buy that expensive new patio set, or that new grill.  Sales abound!  You cannot turn on commercial television without being assaulted by ad campaigns which cost a veritable fortune.  You see this holiday is really all about spending money and nothing else.  Oh, sure, towns and communities will have small parades in which aging veterans will walk or ride down streets, but there will not be throngs of people, they'll all be out trying to get the best possible deal.  The small community in which I live had a parade, but it was last Sunday, May 19.  Hhmp, that makes perfect sense to me, I mean, you don't want to actually have the parade on the designated holiday, it might interfere with some one's barbecue.

This is not to say I'm against retailers taking advantage of the holiday, I just feel they need to be a little more honest with the American Shopper.  For them it is about making a buck, not about honoring any of those who have given their lives for the United States.  And the American Shopper needs to understand that all those flags being used to decorate sale merchandise are not meant to honor anybody.   They are, however, meant to grab your eye.  Admit it, they are catchy to look at.  People need to understand that in this case, however, they're being used to tease you in to spending your money, into adding to the balance of your credit card, and for giant retailers that is their only purpose.
