President Obama , Michael Douglas , Bees and other news of the week

Another Crazy week in the good ole USA !

Greetings to all you hubbers out there. I have been feeling somewhat lazy this week which is nothing new . I also wanted to get started on another hub however NBA playoff basketball has interrupted my writing schedule and for those of you who are familiar with my drivel , you know I will use any excuse to take in some serious lounging time. And the Lakers games seemed like a golden opportunity to indulge in my favorite pastime , full on relaxation ! :) . However that being said , as I have been perusing the news during pregame analysis I have found some mighty juicy little nuggets that just absolutely have to be addressed. So to those of you who drop in regularly expecting more great writing I apologize. And to those of you who might have accidentally come by my hub I apologize as well ! But I just wanted to share some insights on more crazy news of the week and have you share your thoughts on them. And here now is our subject matter !

Michael Douglas . Good for you !

I don't wanna see no new Basic Instinct either !

Dude you've lost it !

Our lead story !

#1- I want to give a huge shout out to the actor Michael Douglas. We all are more then familiar with Michael's work in " Wall Street " and one of my favorites "Fatal Attraction ". But the reason I want to give kudos to one of the Hollywood Elite is because Michael Douglas refused to sign a petition that was going around the Cannes film festival in France in support of pedophile Roman Polanski. And was very blunt in stating the Mr. Polanski blatantly broke the law. My jaw dropped ! A Hollywood celebrity who actually stands for principle ? You could have knocked me over with a feather! Good for you Michael ! Of course there were the vocal supporters including Jean Luc Godard , and Matheiu Amalric a couple of high profile French Directors. What is up with these French people ? I guess sex with a 13 year old is cool over there ! And by no surprise Woody Allen was one of Romans biggest cheerleaders. Because as we all know Woody is the Roman Polanski of east coast movie directors. Oh well I still rank " Annie Hall " as one of the best movies ever made. So Michael all I gotta say is way to go dude ! But please do not do a Fatal Attraction 2 or remake Romancing the Stone , please ?

And as a sidebar Woody also believes that our Apologizer in Chief Barack Obama would make an excellent dictator for awhile. Now Woody I want to know exactly what you have been smokin. It has been 30 years or so for me but I want some of that smoke !

The other big stories of the week !

#2- On a story from " The Hill " on Monday as Obama was trying to make his way over to Fort Mcnair to shoot some hoop the White House was attacked by a swarm of thousands of Bees. So first off I gotta say that I am sure glad there were not any oil spills or border problems to worry about that day so our Apologizer in Chief could work on his J and rebounding skills. And in response to the failed siege from the Bees Janet Napalitano immediately put the bees on the " Right Wing Extremist " watchdog list as it was obvious to anybody that those bees were members of the Tea Party ! Of course for the obvious reasons the bees could not be put on the " No Fly List ". I believe the FBI have surveillance on the bees at this time. I know I feel safer !

#3- Well would,nt you know it the Miss America pageant has made the news again ! And of course another hot blonde patriot ended up rockin the boat ! Morgan Elizabeth Woolard made quite a splash when she voiced her support for Arizona law SB1070. And of course she also voiced her support for no racial profiling which any clear thinking Individual should support ! But many believe that her answer cost her the crown. It is almost a carbon copy of Carrie Prejean supporting marriage between one man and one woman. And it was Interesting that Ms. Prejean lost her crown because of her stance on the Issue. And the real shocker was the woman that replaced her also believed in quote unquote " opposite marriage ". Although of course that did not dominate the news. Miss Michigan won the contest a young lady of Muslim origin named Rima Fakih. Who also was found pole dancing at a strip club , although she was not naked dammit ! Now all I gotta say is I could care less if Miss America is a muslim or not. As some of the white supremacists among us got highly upset she won. Not that big a deal to me though. Man that pageant has been creating some buzz lately. Maybe I better start watchin !

Meet the new Carrie Prejean !!!

Arlen Specter. Newest member of the unemployed party !

Don't let the door hit you in the ass !
Don't let the door hit you in the ass !

Richard Blumenthal. Liar Liar pants on fire !

I don't want him for a dog catcher !
I don't want him for a dog catcher !

Jan Brewer . Governor of Arizona

You go girl !
You go girl !

A few other closing thoughts

 As most of you know since I have been here at HP one of my major rants since day one is the need for all of us to vote out all incumbents as they are nothing short of abject failures ! And I have had this stance long before this administration ever took over the White House. Well lo and behold Arlen Specter not sure which party he belongs to lost his candidacy when he lost in the primaries this week . All I gotta say is right on ! These empty suits in Washington DC have been around just to damn long and done irrepairable damage to our country. Good for you Pennsylvania ! Nancy Pelosi was quoted as saying that America is in an anti Incumbent mood. Geez Nancy ,ya think ?

Richard Blumenthal you suck ! I cannot believe that the DNC is still giving you props and support.  You wonder why everyone does not trust Government ? But with his qualifacations he is a natural for the senate !

It was reported that neither Janet Napalitano nor Eric Holder had read SB1070 from Arizona even though they were busy damning the bill . Why is anyone surprised ? We know damn well people in Washington DC don't read bills ! They pass them to see what is in them. And besides these two are busy trying to destroy the US and that takes time ! Apparently not as much as I thought though.  

Jan Brewer good for you ! I like a person that stands up to the man !

I'm glad Pavarati did not win " Survivor " again. That gal is the equivalent of Castor Oil flavored soda to me ! I would rather have painful dental surgery then have to ever talk with her.

And with all due respect for the Great State of Arizona . GO LAKERS !!!!!

GO LAKERS is right! whoo hoo! But besides that, I have to agree its hard to find an actor nowadays with any sense of moral character and a mind of his or her own or the huevos to actually stand up for what they believe without the fear of the media ostracizing them about it. As far as the other other issues...what can I say...the world we are living in is in the pot...can't wait till GOD finally decides to flush the turds. lol LUV YA BUDDY!

Tony,

I can't help but wonder if the new Miss USA isn't in danger from radical Islam for appearing in the pagent.

JJ I definitely have a new found respect for Michael Douglas ! I know we are probably livin in the end times. But I will keep praying and try to find some laughter where I can. Thanks for dropping in my friend.

outdoorsguy can you believe the nerve of these Bees ?

Tom I have pondered that angle myself. And I hope the young lady does not find herself in danger from muslim extremists because I am sure they view her as far to westernized. Thanks for coming by

Thanks for keeping us all up to date, Tony, with your hub. I have always admired Michael Douglas for his acting chops and his outer persona. Now I also admire his moral stance as evidenced by his inner persona.

And Pelosi's quote: "America is in an anti-incumbent mood?" That's a very polite way to say intelligent Americans want to throw all the bums out of office!

sheila b. Level 4 Commenter 2 years ago

My comment is about the new Miss America. When I heard she is a muslim, my first thought was of course, and Donald Trump made sure she won. I wonder if he thought about how muslims would like that?

Thanks for the news update. Actually, the week would have made a perfect skit on SNL! I have always had a thing for Michael Douglas.

All too often celebrities take very strong stands. Unfortunately, those strong stands are, as you pointed out, usually in favor of stupidity. So, yes, it's indeed rather surprising when one stands against something that makes sense.

There are a few good ones out there and I do keep track. Jon Voigt would be one very clear example. But there are others.

As for Woody's statement. Well, he's a funny guy. What else can I say?

As for the bees in Washington, it was a failed clandestine attempt to build more of a barrier between them and us. There's a ton of bees wax in Washington and none of it is apparently any of ours. ;)

Thanks Tony for your lighthearted rundown of events!

I was wondering the same thing as Sheilab stated in her comment about Miss America.

Michael Douglas is one of my faves!He is a class act.

The bees that swarmed the White House are perhaps looking for a bailout? lol.. (Bees were in danger in the past two summers and are still needed in numbers here in Michigan)

Hi there Springboard ! And I want to say that I have to agree that one of the Hollywood elite taking a moral stand deserves more press. I honestly do not know what these people are eating and drinking that makes them celebrate and try to justify bad behavior.I also find it funny that so many of them were so vocal in giving our apologizer in chief a big shout pre election and now as the couuntry goes further into the abyss on the failed ideologies of our man Barack and his inept administration these days they seem quie muted ! Just as well they should just keep their mouths shut and keep making mediocre movies. Thanks for dropping by.

Seakay thanks for dropping by and it is my pleasure to give you some amusement.

Tina Marie , no doubt Sheila brought up an interesting point no doubt. From my observations people seem to be getting fed up with the PC crowd. We know the PC Ideology has become a failure. Give me good honest dialogue anytime ,even if I don't agree . Thanks for dropping by !

Nice list Tony! I read Mia Farrow's memoirs,and I gotta tell you, Woody Allen is a FREAK. The fact that the man is not rotting in prison somewhere is a complete mystery to me. Sad, sad, sad.

Is it really basketball season already? I thought that just ended? (He He:) Hope you get to enjoy a diet coke or Heineken! Have a great weekend Tony!

tony0724 profile image

tony0724 Hub Author 2 years ago

Hi sunflowerbucky. I hope you too have an awesome weekend !And I could not agree more Woody Allen has some serious problems and obviously Polanski does to ! At least one of the empty headed celebrity set has the nad to take a stand !

Awesome HUB! I will be back to read more. Can you Imagine if Bush went of to play golf during all of this hoopla? The Left would have (and did) cut him to pieces.

Bush kept his promise not to play golf while troops were in harms way and instead of playing around he spent his free time at Walter-Reed...I wonder how many times Obasama has trodded over to visit with the troops...Without a swooning MSNBC reporter in-tow?

tony0724 profile image

tony0724 Hub Author 2 years ago

Good day One White Square. Thanks for the props on the hub. I was not a big fan of Bush by any means but now that he is in my rearview mirror and we have our current administration he is actually starting to look not that bad.

But do you think it is any accident that MSNBC barely registers on the radar ? I don't call them the H1N1 of cable news for nothin ! Thanks for dropping by.

No accident at all...I truly believe the American public is comming off of their King-Obama high and returning to an ugly reality.

MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS all have god-aweful ratings due to their inability to report the facts of this administration...and their pompous belief they know better than everybody else...just as Obamasama believes he does.

tony0724 profile image

tony0724 Hub Author 2 years ago

OWS I totally agree. People are getting over the myopia and finally starting to see this administration for what it really is , the deconstruction America holds sacred ! And they are not gonna take it ! I am glad to see the apathy gone !

My dearest Maita it seems ranting is my skill ! And I know the Lakers will be fine. However I gotta admit the Celtics are playing really good basketball right now. And that has me a little worried. But I will keep the faith ! Hugs to ya my beautiful friend.

Hi ya Habee ! And I have to salute Michael too. It Is refreshing to see someone stand for principle against the Hollywood elite. Maybe he will let those bees star in his next movie !

I think the new Ms. America is of Lebanese descent and attended Catholic school in NY. She may not be a Muslim, but a Maronite Catholic. A lot of Lebanese Catholics emigrated here due to Muslim persecution.

I do not, however, know for sure.

tony0724 profile image

tony0724 Hub Author 23 months ago

john thank you for the props.I appreciate you coming by.

vrajavala if she came from Mars I would be OK with it. She is a good looking gal. I am not one of those in an uproar over her winning the crown. I think Ms. Oklahomas statement on the support of the Arizona law definitely killed her chances though.

Aaah, nice to get some American culture in now and then. Lakers, Michael Douglas, a man once diagnosed with a sex addiction lecturing Roman Polanski for ..ahem! 13 haw? That's young. But does Polanski have to be persecuted his whole life? What's the real truth behind his Swiss Arrest anyway. Wasn't that some judge with a grudge or something? I'd love to know.

But I do love tuning to get the American news! Great hub, Tony! You know how to make hubs interesting! Cheers!

tony0724 Hub Author 23 months ago

Thank you for the kind words Cheeky Girl ! You know I think you rock. I honestly did not know that about Michael Douglas as I do not really keep up with pop culture. But I am certainly glad you enjoyed the hub my friend. Best to you always
