I swear at the TV.
Not when anyone’s around, and not to be obnoxious, but as a vocal outlet for the private conversation in my head.
I’m nuts that way.
In my head, I’m doing running commentary on life all the time.
Usually, it’s no more substantive than the observation that, no ma’am, you shouldn’t be wearing stretch pants, or that, yes sir, you are the biggest moron God ever made. That’s going on in my head all the time.
And sometimes it comes out.
Like when I’m watching a sitcom and I will let loose a hyena laugh.
Or, more commonly, when I’m watching the news and I let loose an f-bomb.
Like the night before last, when Obama was on, telling various folks in North Carolina that maybe Republicans weren’t smart enough to understand his jobs bill.
That’s when I swore.
Because, actually, I understand his jobs bill. And I understand what kind of a snake he is.
But he went on, and he said that he would break his jobs bill down, into simple stand-alone pieces of legislation, and see if Republicans could comprehend it better. Then he went on about how right now he wanted some number of billions of dollars to hire more teachers, cops and firemen.
And he asked how anybody, even Republicans, could be so dumb as to oppose hiring more teachers, cops and firemen.
That’s when I swore again.
Because, of course, federal stimulus money for more teachers, cops and firemen is nothing more than Dollars for Dues.
I might be a dumb Republican, but even I can see that the president is advocating borrowing more billions from the Chinese so that he can send more money to the unions that are his and his party’s largest donors.
See, cops and teachers are two of the most unionized – and most liberally unionized – workforces in America. And their unions donate stunning amounts of money to Democrats generally and Obama specifically.
Let’s follow the money.
The Chinese, when they’re not running down little girls in their own streets or making cheap crap to send over here, lend money to Obama. Obama gives money to schools and cities. Schools and cities hire more teachers and cops. Teachers and cops have to join unions. Unions collect more dues. Dues money is donated to Obama.
And Obama was trying to tell the people in North Carolina that that was good for America. It seems like the only economy he’s good at stimulating is his own.
So I swore at the TV screen.
And I resolved to wear my FUBO shirt.
Usually, I don’t. I’ve got a sticker on my truck, and some stuff on my Facebook, but I work with this liberal guy and he fixates on my T-shirt every day and when I wear a FUBO I worry that he’s going to melt down.
So I usually don’t wear it to work.
But I was ticked, so I took my chances.
And it felt great. And was well received.
FUBO came out a couple of years ago, somewhere between the stimulus and Obamacare, right about the time I’d had enough. It was during a commercial break on my radio show. The abbreviation came to me and after the commercials I told listeners and said that I’d like to get one of those little oval bumper stickers made with the letters FUBO.
In the next commercial break I found a place online to make me a dozen stickers and by the commercial break after that I had heard from a local T-shirt company that offered to make both bumper stickers and T-shirts.
We had sold a ton of them by the end of the show. And over the months since, across the country, the message of FUBO has steadily gotten out. It’s no grand philosophical statement, but it is a statement. It is a loud and clear statement.
As folks on initial approach to Rochester can tell you.
That’s thanks to Adam Booth.
See, about 60 miles south of Greater Rochester International Airport, where the big jets line up along the valley for the descent north into the city, Adam Booth owns some land.
He’s a mountain man of sorts. He and his wife and their kids live a simple life, eating a lot of game, working with their hands, being organic. If the economy stays in the tank, he’s going to go pan gold.
He’s a freedom-loving guy who speaks his mind. He did some Semper Fi time and flies the flag and in his live-and-let-live world the only thing that’s intolerable is a threat to freedom.
Which is what Obama is.
His anti-American, big-government plans are a threat to freedom. We dumb people know that.
And Adam Booth wanted to say so.
So he got some herbicide and a sprayer and he rigged up his ATV and across a few acres in front of his house he wrote FUBO.
F – U – B – O in huge block letters.
Easily read by passing jets.
That’s his message, and that’s my message.
He writes it in grass; I mutter it at the TV screen.
This president has failed. He has hurt our interests at home and across the globe. And in 13 months we get to vote again.
And America will send its own message.
FUBO.
You and the horse you rode in on.
I have gotten to the point where I turn off the MSM ‘news’ because HIS LYING MUG IS ON, GUARANTEED................
I talk back to and yell (INSERT BAD WORDS HERE) at the tv news so much these days that hubby usually makes me turn the channel. As for Zero, I cannot watch him at all for many reasons including that hubby is afraid I’ll throw something at his beloved widescreen.
When Zero whistles his words and changes his accent to match the crowd............(breathe, breathe don’t want to break my computer)........DRIVES ME CRAZY. Especially since Zero is intent on ruining our country. I hope we make until Nov 2012!
Most get it.. Too many actually agree with the Marxist.
I hear ya.. I Never used to say that word. In public I use ‘Freakin’ as a substitute, but sometimes I slip. :)
In NJ you can’t even go to the freakin’ dog park without having to listen to liberal dribble being spewed.. I used to bite my tongue.. no more!
Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. I’ve worn out the OFF and MUTE buttons on my radio remote. Batteries don’t last as long as they should. I give Ø the finger when I drive to work in my van pool.
Welcome to my world. ;^)
spending billions of dollars for nonjob producers. They don't create jobs!!!! The government isn't creating JOBS, he is creating SPENDING.
Payroll is an expense!!! If that expense is not creating more work, more jobs, then it is a drain on the bottomline instead of a profit.
If you don’t want to use the “F” word then use the word “Swive”)means the same and will send people scurrying to find a REALLY big(and old) dictionary to look it up). By then you will be far way and will have inceased their “word” power.
Yep. I have my flag upside down and have had since the day he was elected. It will stay that way till he is gone. When he is gone this one will be burned. I have three sons in the Army, all have done a tour in Iraq and one is now in Afghanistan and another may be deployed in March. If Zero is on TV I move to another channel, I can’t even stand the sound of his teleprompter voice. He’s been messing around in my state the last day or two and I think he got the message when he went to places he didn’t script and bring in the buses of SEIU members to make himself look good. Am I the only one who sees that he “scripts” his visits with plants to make whatever point he wants to make to move the sheeple? It’s like an Oprah show when he goes public. Stop cussing and talk to your neighbors. We have to vote and hopefully we will have someone worth voting for! God bless us all everyone.
I’m right there with you. I can’t watch O on television anymore. I seriously cannot watch four seconds of him. I change the channel immediately.
Ha! Everytime he comes on the TV I "salute" him.
Sometimes, two handed. Once, did it two handed, and moved hands up and down, then sideways for emphasis.
Yeah, I “salute” him too. I normally try to keep both hands on the wheel when driving, but there are times I can’t help myself. I don’t care if one of the females is sitting shotgun either. I’ve actually said “F [word] you hussein” when he was lying about his jobs bill.
Gee...Could it be that "many others" are getting their "news" from the LMSM?
Juuuust a guess.
I don't watch much TV but I listen to a lot of talk radio and it's the same there. I can't stand the sound of his voice for more than about four seconds before I have to switch stations for a moment or so, then come back. Happens a lot on Rush, Hannity and Levin; they're always putting up soundbites with zero's voice and I feel like puking.
I have had to really curtail my tongue... I let loose a few (shall we say) curse phrases and my five year old picked one up. They were discussing presidents in her kindergarten class and she said, “My Mom thinks he is a Communist butt hole”. Thank goodness she used the term “butt” because I sure didn’t.
Good for your five year old though! She's learning discretion at an early age.
I was watching a talk show on TV and my 4 year old grandson asked what they were talking about? I said, “Obama.” He said, “He’s a bad man.” I said, “Titus he is the POTUS”, he said, “I know but he is still a bad man!!”.
