May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Another Shut Up and Sing Moment

Well, maybe not...I don't like Sheryl Crow's singing. Some musicians\singers I recognize ability but their music just doesn't move me. I'm not even sure if she's that good of a musician, and her singing just grates on me.

Like Paul McCartney recently, she just insults people that have a different cultural\economic\political view. She's monster rich, so I guess personal capitalism is okay, and I suspect she shelters her taxes like limousine libs do.

She hasn't gone so far talking about TEA Party people as calling them racist as Janeane Garofalo has famously done. For Garafalo, TEA Partiers hate it there's a black man in office, and if you disagree with him about policy, you're a racist according to her and many, if not most, on the Left. Recently she's disagreed with Obama because he's not Socialist enough, so I guess since she disagrees with him, she's a racist.

Crow is the knucklehead that said we should only use one to three squares of TP each visit to the restroom, and at some Washington dining event went up to Karl Rove's table with one of her knucklehead friends and starting berating Rove about something. Class act.

Here's some quotes from an interview with Katie Couric.
"My main concern is that [the Tea Party is] really fear-based." "What's coming out of the Tea Party most often, especially if you go onto YouTube, and you see some of the interviews with these people who really don't even know what the issues are, they're just swept up in the fear of it and the anger of it." "They're not sure what they're angry at." "They don't understand what's happening on Wall Street."

TEA Party people are ignorant and dangerous. That often leads to violence. Ummmmm Sheryl, have you seen any TEA Party people do what they did at the G20 meetings this past weekend? Cars set on fire, rioting, store windows smashed. That's not a threat, but the TEA Party movement is a violent threat to America.

Every time I read stupid statements like hers, or McCartney's, I'm stunned to find out that most of the people I know, myself included, are so ignorant, stupid, racist and potentially violent. Well, at least I'm smart enough to have never bought any of her music or paid for one of her concerts.

You can read all her looney ideas here.

Another Shut Up and Sing Moment

We know Paul McCartney is a Statist, that he doesn't believe that the people should make decisions for themselves, that the State should; unless of course you're buying his products. (I love Statists that believe in the power of the State, but hide their earnings off shore so they don't have to pay taxes.)

Here's some of his recent inanities:
"Sadly we need disasters like this to show people. Some people don't believe in climate warming - like those who don't believe there was a Holocaust."

"I don't accept the criticism of Barack over the oil spill." That the guy, Barry that is, has done absolutely about the worst environmental disaster in US history makes no difference.

"If the President of the country you spilled oil in tells you off then you've just got to take it or say, 'I'm really sorry, we'll clean it up and pay for it all by next week." What does the mean?

"It was such an honour. I'd heard of the prize - it's the biggest for popular music in the US. When the President gave it to me, I was so touched. I'm a huge Obama supporter. I really love him." Oh please....

"I think Obama's doing great. He's a smart guy." Well Paul, if he's so smart why doesn't he know what to with the Gulf spill, why are his ranking military officers not showing him any respect, why is his foreign policy causing enemies of the US to become emboldened, why is the housing market still plummeting, why is unemployment still at 10%, and all the rest, too numerous to continue.

This after last month, when this foreigner that has made $millions in the US, insulted President Bush while receiving an award at the White House: "After the last eight years, it's good to have a president that knows what a library is."

Both Paul and Barry are clueless, but at least Paul has a talent.
