For immediate release…
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the sunny, newly snow covered, freezing cold island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this Wednesday morning–the 25th day of February, 2015–here at the Hyannis/Hyannis Port Watefront(s), eight a.m. on the east coast as we look forward to another frigid one all across the eastern half of this great nation; Spring less than four weeks away!
For immediate release
“I am returning herewith without my approval S.1, the “Keystone Pipeline Approval Act”. Through this bill, the United States Congress attempts to circumvent longstanding and proven processes for determining whether or not building and operating a cross-border pipeline serves the national interest. The presidential power to veto legislation is one I take seriously. But also take seriously my responsibility to the American people, because this act of Congress conflicts with established branch procedures and cuts short thorough consideration of issues that could bear on our national interest–including our security, safety, environment–it has earned my veto.”
Love, President Obama (credit Rachel Maddow; “TRMS”)
President Obama is doing pretty darn good these days, yes? He’s 3-0 baby! (credit Joe Scarborough from “Morning Joe”)… Taking out this horrid bill, effectively a pay increase for the Koch Brothers and other billionaire polluters, while not blinking on immigration as the DHS funding ‘thing’ may have been cleared up, Net Neutrality now relatively safe, and this wonderful act on behalf of the environment, yes, it is safe to say we all know who the real leader is Washington D.C. these days…
It sure ‘ain’t the blow hard Bill O’Reilly from FOX “news”! You know the guy, “Mr. talking points memo”, or, the biggest bully (clown), that ‘fair and balanced’ network ever had, a real liability if you ask this reporter. Bill again recently going off his rocker, threatening to kill someone because “they” (the filthy, tree huggin’, liberal media elites), wrote something his highness did not like. Hey Bill, pick on someone your own size! I’m Irish and always up for a good fight! Bill, this week, threatened a great reporter like David Jones (Mother Jones Magazine), threatening, and I quote, “…I expect David Corn to be in the kill zone, where he deserves to be.” Going on to threaten New York Times reporters as well as former CBS colleagues, who have outed him for the fraud he truly is. Stating, and again I quote from an actual phone conversation where Bill told a New York Times employee that there would be ‘repercussions’ if he felt any of the reporter’s coverage was ‘inappropriate’, “…I’m coming after you with everything I have”, going on to say, “you can take it as a threat.”
“I think the statement speaks for itself”

Good luck in therapy Bill!
This all blew up because it turns out Bill likes to inflate the truth, or just make it up as he goes along. Take his ‘involvement’ in “The Falkland Islands War” where he apparently told the world he “survived a conflict situation”. Moreover, Bill was also allegedly involved, personally involved, in an active war zone in Argentina? What, at the Four Seasons bar?
With a whiskey bottle?
One of my favorite meltdown moments of Mr. Bill, “I love the smell of Napalm in the morning, it smells like victory”, O’Reilly (credit the great Robert Duvall in the classic Vietnam feel good movie, “Apocalypse Now”, circa 1979), is from a few years back, please Google if you would like a humorous break for the day. A clip shown time and again by our friend Keith Olbermann (ESPN II), during his then ground breaking show “Countdown”, only on MSNBC... The video clip reveals a much younger Bill O’Reilly siting down to do the news, but I guess the whiskey was getting a little low in the blood stream, for he launched into his producers something fierce (issues!), yelling at the top of his lungs at the end of the ‘disagreement on set’– “…OK f@ck it! We’re doing it LIVE!”.
No wonder why this country is so divided and messed up psychologically, it is being fed daily poison pills by the likes of a mad Irishman working for an equally mad Australian. Talking points memo? Give us a break O’Reilly! What is your next book going to be about? Oh wait, don’t tell me, does it involve the word or action kill? Hopefully your career pulling the wool over ‘the American people’s’ eyes will be on that hit list as well Bill.
Have a nice day everybody! Reminding friends, family, colleagues and anyone walking the streets to continue dodging those wooden nickles thrown about by FOX “news”! Side effects still include, but are not limited to, blurred vision, projectile vomiting, internal bleeding, hallucinations, trouble breathing, trouble urinating, and the overwhelming notion that you, in fact, are the late, great (reincarnated), Ethel Merman! Who famously sings the song we all know and love, “…you’ll be swell, you’ll be great, gonna have the whole world on a plate! Starting here! Starting now! Honey, every thing’s coming up roses!”
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
