Bench pressing would be the least of your fears with some of these old Cold War “Female Athletes”. The entire extended family was put on notice that unless they won, Auntie Hilda or Uncle Vlad would have an appointment with the Institute of Soviet Chiropractic.
But boy oh boy were these ladies a tad strange. Governator Ahhhnnnnulld could do a credible rendition of “I’m Pretty, Oh So Pretty” in comparison. If they still suffered PMS, one would be obliged to characterize it as a weapon of mass destruction.

I’ve known and loved some , ahem “ugly wimmen” but these woman made a Cat D-8 look demure. At least they didn’t say much because with the stuff injected in them , like they were Chicago Stock being readied for slaughter, well, it must have been a twisted scene…kind of like ammo night at the University of Texas Clocktower. Not for the faint of heart or liver.

Reminds me of the time when sports analogies packed a punch - they could resonate. Nowadays, if you get beyond ‘home run’ or ’strike out,’ people get befuddled.

As for those East Bloc athletes: I have always been wary of any woman who could out-bench press me.

This is extra funny to me because I’ve never seen a neocon who didn’t look like the Pillsbury Doughboy. If somebody needs toughening up I would think the neocons should be at the head of the line.

SHOTPUTTER

As a former discus thrower, I recognize that shotputters are usually not as far along on the path of Evolution.

This will all have the added benefit of firmly re-igniting the Cold War with Russia because that is what is needed to sustain the manifest scams of the Security State. Typical adherants to the White Mans Burden Routine, the current leadership either forgot or never learned that the Islammable-Fashishts are far more organized and potentially lethal (despite their constant and enduring animosities)than the Native Americans ever were. They have also lost sight of the fact that rugged individualist settlers and explorers have been replaced with a generation of fecklessly consuming retahds that still thinks their money will be fungible after these clowns are done. Osama watched Ali run his rope-a-dope strategy as he was growing up, internalized the lesson and runs it on these whackos like a master.

The Congress is just as susceptable to jingoistic piffle as it has ever been because it fosters the kind of stemwinding hoo-haw that plays well at home. Watching them now is fully reminiscent of the ugly idiocy running up to the Civil War. The only difference is that there aint nobody around with the sense or nuts to start caning. Funny thing now though, most the folks at home are looking at their Congressional Reps with just as much disgust and dismay as they greet the President with.

This never has been about any kind of conspiracy. No, they’ve telegraphed their intent all along and simply institute enough confusion and jingoism to properly distract an already distracted citizenry that cannot quite get their heads around the fact that their government is not simply just a weekly sitcom that will turn out ok in the end. I imagine Dickie-boy’s loin girding sessions with the Kummander in Cheef are 1 Part Spanky and our gang, 1 Part Twilight Zone and 4 Parts throwing a ball for the spunky little Terrier to wear him out. Nobody needs any further demonstration of how utterly dim the President is…he was the perfect stooge for these back-room dealers to run with. To get an idea of the intellectual capacity and general sense of the Vice President though, read his wife’s book/s, if laughing your ass off aint going to cause a problem with keeping your pants up. There is nothing written or spoken by the Veep himself to gauge his intellect because he either erases the records or speaks in grunts in public.

We’ve had worse governments but none so transparently bad even though they claim a kind of keystone cops secrecy that makes the Eleventh Hour Ceremony at the Elks Club look like the British House of Lords. If you doubt this,just disect this little CIA “Family Jewels” scam for 60 seconds and you’ll come to understand what I mean.

The vice president, a surly spawn of the Nixon era has cultivated a kind of superhuman image of scary omnipotence and the media swallows it hook line and sinker. The charade will not really be exposed until they run the entire joint into the ground and demonstrate, once and for all that the meritocracy has been hijacked by a society cocktail party intelligencia that has all the brains of a recently minted giggolo. The U.S. Government is like 1980’s Antioch without it’s better professors, or maybe the average Montesorri School , where the “self-esteem” entitlement class gets to learn how to socialize with it’s fellow Swells without the clarifying effects of either grades or common-sense expectations. At least the old Wealth Class read Greek and had a little class, this one reads the Wall Street Journal and calls that literature. If I’m wrong or a tad over-reaching on this, there would be a bonafide opposition to the ongoing muck and there simply isn’t one of any significance….yet.

Still though, surprisingly enough, we could still turn it around! Perhaps in another 5-10 years the chronicles of the Bush Administration will read like a satiric Detective Magazine written and produced by Monty Python. Too bad so many people have to die and so much money be spent in furtherance of destruction , making the word tragicomedy seem wholly inadequate.The World waits for the United States to snap out of it and they will be forgiving when we do because this administration, like the Reich and every other righteous sanguinary crusader did throughout history, has chronicled their tortured agenda quite well. They took an obliging public on a ride.

“Bulgarian Muff”…..? Talk about Extraordinary Rendition.

Who wants to own such a place?

If you have to have foreign territory, wouldn’t owning the south of France or the Swiss/Italian Alps, or maybe the English Midlands be a much more attractive proposition. Then we could just buy that liquid black stuff with all the tourists dollars generated in European resorts…
