   I didn’t watch the “South Park” episode that berated viewers of “Honey Boo Boo” in its entirety Thursday just after midnight, just enough of it to see that portion that seems almost ironic considering that Romney wants to defund PBS and NPR to save a pittance compared to waste in the military (I’m a veteran; I have a DD214 Honorable Discharge, the type of discharge Colonel West ALMOST DIDN’T GET). I live near Boston, and recently the State of New Hampshire defunded Public Television there, so the network of Public TV station in NH has been reduced to a rebroadcaster of Boston’s WGBH-TV with very little local content. Take away Federal funding from PBS stations nationally, and many will probably shut down, leaving parents and children with the kind of mind-numbing fare on commercial TV that leads to “Honey Boo-Booism”. Gravity-wave-bender Governor Christie defunded public radio and TV in New Jersey, so outlets there are now adjuncts to stations in New York City and Philadelphia. New Jerseyites may have no access to reliable information with an orientation to the Garden State (how did it get THAT name?)any more. Much of US debt comes NOT from China, but is mainly held be Americans and some Europeans. The “borrow from China” meme is overstated.

   Romney lied about the $5 trillion in tax cuts, Romney lied about the most oil-producing land being public, Romney lied about saying his health care would cover pre-existing conditions, Romney lied about that Dodd Frank bill, Romney lied about not cutting taxes for the wealthy, Romney lied about not increasing the federal defense budget, Romney lied about the tax breaks for the middle class, Romney lied about Massachusetts being number one in education while in office, Romney lied about Medicare being cut under Obamacare, Romney lied about saying that he cared for everyone,etc. Romney is nothing more than they flip-flopping liar whose lies and flip-flops will eventually catch up to him and bite him in the azz. Just like what happened to John Kerry, who by the way one all 3 debates against George Bush but still lost the election.

   Don’t let Hillbilly know that. My predictions drove him out of the ratings guessing game.

   Despite Media Complaints, Obama Spoke 4 Minutes Longer

   Here’s the major excuse offered by the Obama campaign and their minions for the historic Romney juggernaut last night: Romney dominated the debate because Jim Lehrer, the moderator, lost control and let Romney talk too much.

   Mitt can’t elaborate on any of his proposed policies. Always vague no details. Mitt looked like a moderate and seems to be a chameleon. Always changing his position depending on the crowd.

   Obama was speaking about ObamaCare and said, “The last point I’d make, before … before – ” Lehrer interrupted, “2 minutes, 2 minutes are up, sir.” Obama then pointed to the clock and said “No … I … I think I had five seconds before you interrupted me.” Lehrer then allowed Obama to speak for another 35 seconds.

   Jim Lehrer had nothing to do with Romney’s towering performance last night. Romney spoke less, but boy, did he carry the bigger stick.

    What happened to your daily report card (number of appearances on the top 100 list)? Too many to count?

    So Mitt Romney’s big plan to balance the budget is to get rid of Big Bird and PBS. Hmmm, that’s not going to sit well with mothers and senior citizens.

    ABC News hired and elevated Stephanopoulos to do exactly what he did last night — and like a good little flak, Georgie-boy once again sacrificed whatever’s left of his reputation and credibility to the pagan god of The State.

    BHO has no plan. None at all. He does not even pretend to have a plan to cut the budget.
