I guess while I have a few minutes to write a post, I am taking advantage.
Usually my vacations are filled with a bunch of tiny little blogs, or now that I have time to digest the news and comment, that is usually what happens.
So who is Jim Alger? I have not heard of this fella before yesterday. And to tell you more about how I came to learn who he was, I must catch you up on a few things.
I jumped on the twitter bandwagon. What is twitter? It's just Internet chatter. It's a bunch of narcissistic jerks, talking about what we are doing. Well I caught a little bit of the news before bed Thursday night and watched the news Friday morning and then I saw the melted faced freak we like to call Nancy Pelosi, aka, madame speaker, aka, whiny little Grandma [if one were to Google Search narcissism and then click on the images, you will see Nancy Pelosi].
Now I will be pretty honest. I don't know much about who she is, or what she has done for her district in California, but what I do know is that she is a spotlight loving, finger pointing, nobody. I am not impressed with her in the least. It's bad enough I have to stare at that melting face while I watch the State of the Union Addresses, but now she has found a new sense of authority now that her party is ruling the country. I say ruling and not governing because we are slowly slipping into the world of socialism. More about that later, but I am not a fan of Ms. Pelosi.
So how did my disdain for Nancy Pelosi turn into an argument with Jim Alger?
Here is the deal.
Here is where is started. Please look at the times at the bottom of all the posts. [Now when you read these things, when you see 'acgercak' it denotes that I have said something. When you see '@acgercak' it means that Jim is talking back. When you see 'acgercak@JimAlger' it means I am talking back to Jimmy. Now you have your crash course on how to read a twitter feed.]
acgercak:Nancy Pelosi is just as guilty as anyone else. I'm pulling a page from HER playbook. Let's prosecute her for being accessory.6:15 AM May 15th from UberTwitter
@acgercak She had no authority to stop it and would have been a crime to disclose it... get your facts straight6:19 AM May 15th from TweetDeck in reply to acgercak
acgercak@JimAlger then why hasn't she said that? She is saying she was lied to. She said she had NO knowledge of it taking place.6:39 AM May 15th from UberTwitter in reply to JimAlger
@acgercak Well, I doubt she is lying - it could be dumb if she was, but the entire thing is irrelevant. They have been after her for years.6:41 AM May 15th from TweetDeck in reply to acgercak
acgercak@JimAlger and she has done nothing but blame the bush for all the ills of our nation, when will anyone but bush shoulder the blame?6:42 AM May 15th from UberTwitter in reply to JimAlger
@acgercak well.. he was the one who issued the orders, but an investigation would flush this all out6:44 AM May 15th from TweetDeck in reply to acgercak
acgercak@JimAlger I think the data would prove that dems were just as guilty, which is the reason there isn't one.6:51 AM May 15th from UberTwitter in reply to JimAlger
acgercak@JimAlger which now why you see this, 'I didn't know' speak from pelosi.6:51 AM May 15th from UberTwitter in reply to JimAlger
acgercak@JimAlger so she was the only one lied too?? I don't hear anyone else jumping on her melted face bandwagon7:14 AM May 15th from UberTwitter in reply to JimAlger
@acgercak Change the channel, 3 others have now said the same thing11:15 AM May 15th from TweetDeck in reply to acgercak
acgercak@JimAlger I only read the times and the post, but that's ok, I'm sure they are skewed11:17 AM May 15th from UberTwitter in reply to JimAlger
acgercak@JimAlger and besides ALL that, its the CIA that's what they do. If you saw inside their closet, it would make you squirm.11:18 AM May 15th from UberTwitter in reply to JimAlger
So that was the whole conversation. It started early, and Jim stopped talking. I guess that is what he does. He will go and try and pick a fight, but when someone actually talks back and challenges his ideas, he stops trying. I then went back to see his twitter feed and it was funny. I was blocked. I was then reported to twitter as being a spammer. Ok cool. I had to send a whole bunch of e-mails to twitter to prove that I was not a spammer. My account was shut down for a short time today, which really pisses me off.
So here is a more coherent little opinion piece I would like to call, Fuck you Alger.
It's just like someone who has nothing else to say that 'they' are after one of their precious leaders. Who are 'they'? Is that me? Is that you? Is it the Democratic base? Who are they? Because the phrase "they have been after her for years" came out of a Democrats mouth, I would only assume that Jimmy boy is referring to the 'Right' or Republicans for those who are slow at catching up. So who knows who they are.
I think it's time for EVERYONE in Congress to end this finger pointing. Pelosi is saying that the CIA didn't tell her that they were using water boarding or that water boarding was deemed legal, but they were not using it. The truth is, no one really knows who said what because its all classified. Having spoken to a few people who have been a part of the 'strong arm of the CIA' [read: special forces] it's highly unlikely that they did NOT tell her, but then again, that's the words of a guy that can kill me and make it look like an accident over an artificially unwrinkled face in comparison. Which one is lying now? It's time for the rest of the Democratic party to follow the leader [which my brother would say, they are really really good at] and leave the whole torture thing alone. Obama is trying to take the high road, while Nancy Pelosi is trying to pull it all down and make sure her armor doesn't get a chink in it.
I read a very enlightening post from the NYT about what has been going on in the Obama White House. The fact it came out of the Times surprised me, but it's clear that Bush didn't fuck it all up that bad. Read the story and you tell me.
It's a case of easier said than done. Obama is now seeing all the road blocks and obstacles that comes along with being the guy in charge. I am not saying the Bush was right or wrong, but I am just tired of hearing that he is THE reason for everything.
I am pretty sure I even heard Nancy Pelosi blame Bush for her lover's impotency, but I could be wrong, I did read it on her webpage.
