A Truth Journal: Jon Stewart Hammers Vet Affairs Failing to Break 1 Million Claims Logjam

A Truth Journal: Jon Stewart Hammers Vet Affairs Failing to Break 1 Million Claims Logjam: From Denny: While other equally pressing news stories push to the front of the public's attention - like Israel attacking idiot terrorist-supporting Syria and the tragic Boston marathon bombing by less experienced terrorists - the very soldiers who fought America's terrorism wars are told to wait for help by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs.

Granted the VA does process around one million claims a year, all this while in the midst of trying to change over from an outdated dinosaur 1970's paper culture and advance into the digital age. Currently, they are looking at another two years before believing they will have arrived in said digital age. Let's get real; multiple that by ten and the estimate might be near accurate.

A Truth Journal: 2012 VP Debate: Who Will Secure The Womens Vote?

A Truth Journal: 2012 VP Debate: Who Will Secure The Womens Vote?: From Denny: After President Obama's passionless performance in the first presidential debate, the pressure has mounted in the Democrats' camp for Vice President Biden to recover serious losses, especially among women voters. That's right; Obama went into the debate with a 14-point lead with women over Romney. After the debate? Obama lost that entire lead and is barely holding on in a dead heat.

Can VP Biden make up the difference tonight? Democrats are hoping that is the case. Joe Biden is as known for his passion as he is for his occasional gaffes of ill-chosen words to speak the truth. My money is on Biden to make a great showing in tonight's debate in spite of Paul Ryan's aggressive attacks and attempts at feigned deference - and hollow courtesy like Romney pulled on Obama.

Paul Ryan is being touted by the Republican camp and their media enablers as a virile handsome challenger to Biden. The Republicans are posting photos of Ryan pumping iron and planting stories in the media of how handsome women find him. Well, that's not the opinion at this house where I am perfectly capable of doing my own thinking, thank you very much. I do not need to be spoon fed how to think by the clueless manipulative Republicans.

The truth is that Ryan looks goofy and wimpy. He is known for the reputation of The Agreeable Brown Noser. Goofy and Brown Noser are not exactly the qualities voters want to see in a possible presidential candidate, even if he is a VP pick. Why else would the Republicans feel so compelled to create a different persona for him? "Do ya think?" it has anything to do as well with the fact that Ryan has declared his own War On Women to render us back to slave status if he could pass his idiot legislation?

The Social Poets: Comedy Gods Deliver Rape Advocates? Akin 4 Senate, Ryan 4 White House

The Social Poets: Comedy Gods Deliver Rape Advocates? Akin 4 Senate, Ryan 4 White House: From Denny: The Comedy Gods have been busy. First they struck their magic wands onto the tongue of Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), who is running for the Missouri Senate, and caused him to speak his true mind about his definition of what is rape and what is not.

Then the Comedy Gods touched off a firestorm among America's women - and many men - who were resoundingly insulted by his callous ill-informed remarks about the traumatic event of rape. As usual, these conservatives are also wrong on the medical facts as Akin was quick to quote as if it were true....

... This asinine story exploded all over the national news rooms where a number of journalists with some real integrity spoke up and condemned Akin. If you thought it couldn't become a bigger story, then some dick wad journalist thought he should play The Devil's Advocate and actually stepped up to defend Todd Akin. He received a resounding beat down on Twitter.

The Social Poets: New York Times Un-American To Criticize Olympics Athlete Lolo Jones Before Race

The Social Poets: New York Times Un-American To Criticize Olympics Athlete Lolo Jones Before Race: From Denny: Now we enter the den of The Media Stupid, courtesy of the compromised New York Times. There seems to be a rather nasty bunch of writers over there these days, a sharp detour away from the stable of interesting intellectuals they once sported.

The current group has too many members who are all about plagiarizing letters to the editor (like what happened to me one too many times so I quit reading them years ago, then started up my own pack of blogs as a copyrighted version of letters to the editor. Hey, it works for me.)

Their other favorite tactic now is ripping an Olympic athlete just days before competition. How un-American can you get to criticize any athlete representing your country just before competition?

The Social Poets: Funny FAIL: Idiot Conservative Blogger Tries To Nail Sen. Sherrod Brown, Backfires

The Social Poets: Funny FAIL: Idiot Conservative Blogger Tries To Nail Sen. Sherrod Brown, Backfires: From Denny: Talk about too funny. Journalist and columnist Connie Schultz reported on what one of those crazy nut job self-labeled journalists emailed her about Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). Hardball's Chris Matthews reported it. I was laughing so hard I really did almost fall off my chair.

Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio is one of my all time favorite guys in politics because he is sincere and a straight arrow. He works hard for the people of Ohio and the nation, one of the very few politicians left who is not purchased by Big Business Money or the lobbyists. Right now, the Republicans are doing anything and everything to destroy him and get his seat for a nut job Republican.

Schultz had to have started laughing wildly as well at this nasty gossipy email or she would not have shared it. She chose not to name the idiot conservative blogger that sent it. Boy, does he have serious egg on his stupid face. Come on, Connie, dish! Tell us all who the numb nuts is who was so lame as to not do his due diligence before firing off that idiot email. :)

Here is the letter she recounted:

The Social Poets: WTF? DOJ Attorney Threatens Reporter At Public Hearing?

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Social Poets: WTF? DOJ Attorney Threatens Reporter At Public Hearing?: From Denny: Turns out that President Obama's "transparency in government" does not seem to apply to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and at a public hearing. Talk about obnoxious and a denial of the freedom of the press. A newspaper reporter from The Daily Iberian was actually denied his civil rights - and publicly by a DOJ attorney at a public meeting.

This is downright bizarre. Since when does the DOJ have the right to deny a reporter to record, take notes or quote one of their attorneys who is making public comments at a public hearing? That is exactly what happened. Who died and made the DOJ God? The arrogant attorney's name is Rachel Hranitzky and this happened in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Social Poets: Im Just Saying: How To Protect Your Vote

The Social Poets: Im Just Saying: How To Protect Your Vote: From Denny: Middle Class America watches the national political scene play out and we have all come to the same conclusion. Yes, both political parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, are so ridiculously compromised by corporate money they are morally rotten to the core.

Neither party listens to their base. Neither party seriously considers doing anything for their base to improve their lives for such obvious areas like the outrageous cost of health insurance or equal pay in the work place.

Don't believe the moral rot to be true? There was a time, like the 2008 election, when $100 million won the campaign. Consider this: President Obama bragged about how he and Team Obama were collecting $1 billion for his reelection campaign.

The Republicans' Bragging Rights? They are collecting their own $1 billion - via the Karl Rove machine - and adding to it as we speak. Over $300 million alone has been donated from The Koch Brothers in this election cycle, the ultra conservative billionaires that hate unions and the unemployed.

The Social Poets: Rush Limbaugh: Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire About Advertisers Status

Rush Limbaugh - Caricature (Photo credit: DonkeyHotey)

The Social Poets: Rush Limbaugh: Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire About Advertisers Status: From Denny: I'm with Jon Stewart. Rush Limbaugh just keeps on giving the comedy material, serving it up on a silver platter. His latest gambit is to now challenge the logic about his advertisers' performance since they left his show or if they stayed.

Normal people call it irrational logic, you know, an oxymoron attempt by Rush. Sometimes, this guy is just too much fun to lampoon. It's as silly as the research scientists who decided after lengthy study that, "People die six months before or six months after their birthdays." That stupid study must have been underwritten by Limbaugh.

The Social Poets: Rush Limbaugh: Who Are Still Running Ads? 49 Companies Left: From Denny: As Rush Limbaugh denies his advertisers are leaving like rats off a sinking ship, to date there are 49 companies, two radio stations and one advertising agency no longer willing to place ads with his show.

There are also some porn industry sites that have stepped up to support their fellow Pervert in Chief Limbaugh.

The Social Poets: Read About Homeless California Reporter on Chime.in, Living Out Of Her Car

The Social Poets: Read About Homeless California Reporter on Chime.in, Living Out Of Her Car: From Denny: Social sites are a great way to while away some hours of boredom, learn something new, and, most of all, connect. You never know who you might meet.

Well, here's a shocker. Either this person is great at laying on the BS to pull on our heart strings as some people might speculate or is someone in deep need, reaching out into the thin air, hoping someone will listen. How about a lot of us - especially fellow reporters and bloggers - take the time to investigate this story and see what we can do to help?

Homelessness has devastated the middle class, the current unemployment and bad economy sending half into low income, outright poverty or, as in this woman's case, homelessness. What is annoying about Congress and President Obama is how little they choose to do for the unemployed and homeless.

The Social Poets: Political Cartoon, Video: Obama And His Fellow Election Pundits

Image by jamesomalley via Flickr

The Social Poets: Political Cartoon, Video: Obama And His Fellow Election Pundits: From Denny: As the 2012 election gears up to wear out the American public this month and for the next year nonstop, I thought I'd remind my fellow media guys - and now President Obama - just how bad they often look when giving their opinions, especially of their own accomplishments. It really is the season of having to endure more delusional smug political propaganda from both sides of the aisle.

Tis the season of the cartoonish political pundit, spouting off silly opinions that rarely ever come true but sure makes for funny entertainment. This pastel drawing is a classic of mine. It was drawn when George Bush 43 began his campaign for president back in 1998.

The Repbulicans tout how they are gods we the voters are supposed to bow down and worship. You see, they keep their message pretty simple: Worship me; get nothing and like it.

The Social Poets: News Links: Occupy Wall Street Protests 1 - 12 Oct 2011

The Social Poets: News Links: Occupy Wall Street Protests 1 - 12 Oct 2011: From Denny: Occupy Wall Street is finally getting the attention of mainstream media. Europe, the Middle East and Asia are as fascinated with the protest movement as are Americans. Wall Street and other Big Business concerns like Fox News have tried to trivialize the anger of America's majority but to no avail.

The protests are growing exponentially as more people from all different walks of life and age groups are lifting up their voices in protest against America's "bought government" and demanding reform from our highest politicians.

Check out how the media's awareness of the movement has evolved from first "why take them seriously" to "OMG! This is the real deal!" The protest first erupted in New York City in September. At the time the organizers planned to march for three weeks. Now that the movement has morphed and evolved, developing a life of its own, organizers threw that plan out of the window, planning to march indefinitely.

The Social Poets: Occupy Wall Street: Are Their Conclusions Correct?

The Social Poets: Occupy Wall Street: Are Their Conclusions Correct?: From Denny: This new American Revolution, Occupy Wall Street, caught fire across America in less than one month of protests. OWS is spreading to 25 cities like an oozing peanut butter sandwich overflowing with jam - and is now international too. There is just something so appealing about this protest movement because of its common ground that cuts across the spectrum of race, gender, lifestyle, generations, education and economic class.

Occupy Wall Street Protests Mantra

Occupy Wall Street protesters have been smart in targeting the lynch pin of American society: the financial sector. It is the financial sector that buys the politicians to pass the laws to unleash business to have free rein and never enforce what laws are on the books.

It's the financial sector that buys the police force to intimidate ordinary citizens like those incidents of pepper sprayed women during the protests. Notice they didn't go after men who could pummel them; they went after women.

The Social Poets: Funny Late Nite Jokes About Rupert Murdoch, Debt Ceiling, Politics

The Social Poets: Funny Late Nite Jokes About Rupert Murdoch, Debt Ceiling, Politics: "From Denny: You can't say this summer's hot weather didn't bring with it some seriously bizarre political entertainment. Never a dull moment the past week. Rupert Murdoch became the news instead of creating the fictitious news and selling it as if it were the truth, the usual business of a tabloid 'news' organization.

Rupert Murdoch and the News Corp Scandal

Murdoch was busy employing media consultants to come up with a strategy of how to distract Parliament while it was going badly for him when he was testifying. No one in Britain - or the rest of the world - wanted to hear him and his son, James, whine about how they were not aware of all the wrong doing going on in their tabloid news rooms."

The Social Poets: Funny Jon Stewart Mocking GOP Debate: Indecision 2012

The Social Poets: Funny Jon Stewart Mocking GOP Debate: Indecision 2012: "From Denny: Only Jon Stewart could make the GOP debates actually sound somewhat interesting. At our house we consider them a real snooze, OK, yawn. First up was the media beating up on milk toast Pawlenty who refused to slash and gut Romney on 'ObaNeeCare' that only just days before he had criticized Romney.

Since Romney is the current front runner in this 17 month race to the White House, he was grinning like a Cheshire Cat while Pawlenty tried to weasel out of his statements against Romney. Yeah, Pawlenty sure looks like Vice President front runner material to the media. He displayed a willingness to accept Beta Dog position to Romney's Alpha Dog.

Moving right along to Bachmann and her stunner performance. It's obvious she hired an acting coach in conjunction with her speech coach. Too bad she didn't think to hire a Make Any Sense Coach to add to her campaign war chest. But hey, these Tea Party candidates don't always come to the party with all their marbles.

She proudly announced she had submitted 'the papers just that day to seek the office of the president of the United States.' Well, yeah, honey, and that's why you are involved in a presidential debate the same day. All together now, 'Got sense?'"

Funny Video: Colbert Says Osama Bin Laden Still Dead

From Denny: In the spirit of true excessive satirical celebration Stephen Colbert talks his usual funny nonsense that is so ridiculous you can't help but laugh. His latest is downplaying how Bin Laden was said to be a figurehead but hey, America loves to hunt down and kill figureheads just as much as the guys who are involved in day to day operations.

Colbert proclaims we all love figureheads, like the British monarchy, why not terrorist figureheads? Says Colbert, "I can't wait to see what he was wearing."

He gives a shout out to Navy Seal Team Six. Since the real identities of the team are classified only Colbert would speculate as to who they truly are: Rambo, John MacLaine, Master Chief, Batman, Vin Diesel, Laura Croft and Kung Fu Panda.

Colbert shows a Fox News clip of the original Navy Seal commanding officer who organized the Seals into what we know today, Dick Marcinko. He also wrote a lot of fictional books about his missions, most of which I read since my husband was given them as gifts from friends. My husband turned to me and said, "Denny, you may be a woman but you are the macho warrior in the family. Here, read these, tell me what they are about so I can tell my friends I read them. You were mentored by crusty old warriors like this. You understand this stuff." Yeah, my hubby loves his human clift notes. :)

Back to Colbert...

Turns out the Seals grabbed a whole lot of goodies like 5 computers, 10 hard drives and 100 storage devices. Now Colbert speculates as to what music was on Bin Laden's iPod.
