It is hard out here

We takin’ that train all the way down to funky town, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

Tom cat
Rumor has it that QB Tom Brady, who has already gotten his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan pregnant, has now impregnated Victoria Secret model Gisele Bundchen. As a result, Brady has been named an honorary member of the NBA.  

Rough night
It was a rough night on “American Idol” for Antonella Barba who got voted off. Not only that, Antonella found out she is pregnant with Tom Brady’s baby.

Mint condition
The US Mint accidentally printed an unknown number of the new George Washington dollar coins without the phrase “In God We Trust.” Instead it says; “Tom Brady Is a God”

Who would believe it?
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich admitted he had an extra-marital affair when he led the charge for impeachment of President Bill Clinton for having an affair. That is shocking. Some woman would actually have sex with Newt Gingrich?  

Don’t forget
We set our clocks forward one hour on Sunday. That means Tom Brady will be getting a woman pregnant one hour earlier.

Works for me
On Friday’s “The View” Rosie O’Donnell demonstrated how she treated her depression with inversion therapy. In a related story, millions of people reveal that they treat their depression by not watching Rosie O’Donnell on “The View.”

An Independent’s view:
This is one of the true benefits of being a registered Independent. I get the pleasure of loathing both Rosie O’Donnell and Ann Coulter for the mean-spirited hypocrites they are.

Wouldn’t you just love to see Ann Coulter and Rosie O’Donnell go after each other? Let’s put aside, for a moment, that together they would make the perfect imitation of the number 10.

Both Rosie and Coulter are suited for each other as they both go to great lengths to drag their own political side down by what I call: living down to the stereotype.

The left’s stereotype of a conservative is somebody who is cranky, elitist, close-minded, hawkish, bigoted and greedy. That would also accurately describe Ann Coulter’s resume. Apparently Coulter is unconcerned about dragging the image of the right down with her as long as she personally rings the cash register by selling books and appearing on talk shows while she cruelly insults ethnic and minority groups along the way.

The right’s stereotype of a liberal woman is that of a scary, mean, crazy-with-self-righteousness, know-it-all battleaxe. Look up scary, mean, crazy-with-self-righteousness know-it-all battleaxe in the dictionary and you will find Rosie “Liars get cancer” O’Donnell’s picture.  

That is what is so ironically beautiful. By Ann Coulter being Ann Coulter and Rosie O’Donnell being Rosie O’Donnell, they both accidentally support the opposite side’s most effective argument against their own side. They are both their own political side’s worst enemy.

If you ask me - and nobody did - respected leaders of the left and the right need to get together and tell Rosie and Ann to shut their massive yappers. Take Barack Obama for the democrats and John McCain for the Republicans. Barack has to ask Rosie to stop speaking for democrats and McCain has to ask Ann to shut up about the republicans.

You can say nasty things about Ann Coulter – and why wouldn’t you? - but at least she has educational and occupational qualifications in law and politics. She graduated cum laude from Cornell and graduated from the Michigan law school where she was the editor for the Michigan Law Review. She also worked for the Senate Judiciary committee and in private law practice.

And yet all the education and qualifications in the world cannot excuse the vitriol that Coulter spews on a regular basis. It is beneath her on many levels. Ann Coulter is too smart to keep acting so mean and stupid.  

But what, exactly, are Rosie O’Donnell’s political qualifications as a liberal spokesperson? Does being horribly miscast as Betty Rubble in “The Flintstones” give her some insight into politics? Did Rosie graduate from college? Not according to Wikipedia. I’m afraid Rosie is not too smart to keep acting so mean and stupid.

Folks, this is exactly why people hate Hollywood blowhards espousing their political opinions down our throats, not because they are too far to the left, as they would have you believe, but because they don’t know what the hell they are talking about. Rosie O’Donnell calling for the repeal of the Patriot Act on “The View”? Are you kidding me?

Does Rosie even know what the hell the Patriot Act is? Exactly what rights of Rosie’s are being restricted by the Patriot Act? It seems Rosie is doing pretty much exactly what Rosie wants to do and saying what Rosie wants to say, informed or not.

Am I the only one who remembers how Rosie O’Donnell was the first one to panic and flee during the 2001 NBC anthrax scare? While other NBC shows, NBC News, Conan O’Brien, etc. bravely stayed on the air to reduce public anxiety, Rosie cut and ran canceling an entire week of shows drawing huge criticism, one from no less a media personality than Howard Stern.

Something tells me, back then, Rosie might not have objected to our government passing a law to crack down on further terrorist attacks.  

What a colossal hypocrite.

Ann Coulter and Rosie O’Donnell are making the harshest critics of their respective political sides look good.

And that ain’t easy.
