Gingrich owes political debts

Yesterday I heard Newt Gingrich say that he would consider asking both John Bolton and Donald Trump to be his Secretary of State when he becomes President.

One would not have to strain one’s imagination to conceive the make-up of the Gingrich administration thus:

Looking through windows at Tiffany’s comes to mind. You see what you like and enter the store to purchase the jewelry or set of jewels that suits your fancy. In my opinion, it would be just that simple. That would be the essence of the Gingrich administration; You buy what you want and what you see is what you get.

Mr. Gingrich has already informed us he would approach John Bolton and Donald Trump to be Secretary of State. Another cabinet member would be Rep. Bob Dole who paid off the $300,000.00 fine levered on him for violating House rules and we can not overlook those guys working for Fannie Mae who paid him so handsomely for history lessons. Of course, there is his third wife along with owners of the various poll agencies who inflated un-imaginable numbers propelling him into the Presidential primaries and subsequently into the White House.

When he becomes President, Mr. Gingrich would have to create positions that positions never thought of i.e., third assistant to the second assistant in charge of the first.
Newt Gingrich is a very smart man!. Yes he is! Ask anyone who has done him a favor. I can picture him wandering halls in the White House peeking in doors humming the song, “If my friends could see me now.”

As dresses go up, neckties vanish

It’s painful seeing female TV anchors tugging, pulling and trying to control what used to be called a dress.

There was a time when men seeing the most minimal of “fair skin” were driven out of their minds. Ecstasy of poetic proportions was seeing a woman’s ankles as she was descending steps from a horse drawn carriage; restrained delirium occurred seeing her at the beach in a long-legged one piece bathing suit drifting to full strength knock-out intoxication seeing her in a V-neck blouse.

Of course I am talking about long ago, and to be fair, it was a very long time ago. However, long story short, when I see short ‘dresses’ on female anchors, I somehow manage to place them in black fish net stockings thereby complimenting their attire to my taste. (It must be Freudian on my part.)

By contrast, the male TV anchor first began loosening his necktie and now in many cases, his necktie is completely removed and he has begun un-buttoning his shirt downward revealing bare chest and, thank God, he’s not also lowering the zipper on his trousers…. but then….Naw!

P.S. I am mindful Roger Ailes of Fox News sent a memo to female anchors regarding their attire. Would this be an attempt to impose portions of Sharia law?

Why Elizabeth Warren did not get the job

Contrary to all accounts I read, Ms. Warren did not become head of the agency she helped to create was due to factors imposed by Republicans not reported:

Among their demands: eliminating the director's position, creating an oversight board instead, and requiring the agency to be dependent on congressionally appropriated funds for its operating budget.

I was informed Tim Geithner did not like Ms. Warren, felt he could not work with her and felt she would be a threat to his position as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and his pals on Wall Street and if Ms. Warren were recessed into the position, the Senate would vote to cut off funding.

It appears Republicans feel such an agency would serve the country better if were not under the custodial control of a singular individual and it appears the Obama administration dis-agrees.

Kudos to Ms. Bendery for a well written and highly informative article.

Obama Ramps Up Pressure For Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Nominee
By Jennifer Bendery
Excerpt:
The Senate is lining up its vote on Obama's nominee, Richard Cordray, for Thursday. The president nominated the former Ohio attorney general for the slot in July, but his confirmation process has been beset by delays by Republicans, nearly all of whom signed a letter in May saying they would oppose any CFPB nominee until key changes at the agency are made. Among their demands: eliminating the director's position, creating an oversight board instead, and requiring the agency to be dependent on congressionally appropriated funds for its operating budget. Democrats have framed Republicans' criticisms as an attempt to undermine the agency's work altogether.

And
"Maybe instead of a PR campaign, they should work with Congress to fix the problems. But they haven't lifted a finger. They haven't talked with us about this at all. The President will talk to more reporters this week about the CFPB than he has to Republican senators."

It is not Obama…

it’s his administration and within his administration there are incompetent agencies wherein reside some corrupted workers whom he hired and continues to support.

-Lots of happy negroes yesterday. I speak of the negroes relieved of experiencing vicarious feelings associated with a Black man who dares to brake new grounds thereby exposing their own insecurities and short-comings. They are singing with heartfelt gusto and streaming tears, “Ding, dong, the Cain is gone! Which old Cain, the Herman Cain.” Sad.

-I was surprised hearing Mr. Cain was in contact with Michele Bachman prior to his announcement suspending his campaign of running for President. Both of them have blessings on their heads from TeaParty chapters. With the up-coming primaries, my Hiney Shiney tells me decisions will have to be made between the pompous Newt Gingrich and the testy Michele Bachman.
January Third, I eagerly await thee with baited breath and dancing shoes at hand!
