If It Walks Like a Duck....?

yeah, it's a duck. Obama is a socialist and if you think no, read it from his own mouth, OBAMA TELLS PLUMBER HE WANTS TO 'SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND' And if you're still not sure what redistribution of wealth means, check out Wikipedia.

This Makes Me Weep

Now It All Makes Sense, Hef Likes Em Trashy

I really know how to spot skanks. I knew these girls were trouble. LOL Hefners Twins Gone Bad

Again, their parents must be proud.!

ACORN is a Scary Little Group

Since Barack has been on the national scene, his career resume includes a stint as a 'community organizer'. I often wondered what that job entails. Here is a sample.

Can Hugh Hefner Just Die Already?

I'm sorry, if that's mean. I know that I run the risk of coming off as a bitter old biddy, but seriously. The guy is old. Really old and unattractive. Plus he's a skank. He he hadn't of come up with a way to mainstream porno, he'd be a retired city employee living in Van Nuys. Now that he has 'broken up' with his blonde bimbos that super pink reality show, Girls Next Door, he's onto barely legal 19 year old twins. EWWWWWW!!! That is just gross! I know it's all for show as the guy is probably about as able to engage in any sexual activity as my transistor radio, but still. He puts the image out there and I had to look at it. I was forced, now I'm forcing you.

These two twins (Kewpie and Kreepy or something like that)must have some mighty proud parents. Good job folks!

This is Dangerous Ground

Calling Sarah Palin's criticism of Barack Obama racist, Democratic Rep, Gregory Meeks, sets a bad precedent. Palin said a campaign stop that Obama is not like us, Meeks thinks 'us' means 'white people', not Republicans in the audience.

Democrats like to accuse Republicans of speaking in code. I had a very liberal Bay Area, Prius driving, Obama supporter tell me that when Palin accepted the Republican VP spot at the convention, her acceptance speech was filled with overt religious codes, such as wanting to be of 'service' and " a servant'. I guess in some circles this is crazy Born Again religious fanatic speak, not politician trying to looking humble speak.

I made the mistake of reading the Huffington Post after Palin's acceptance speech at the RNC. Unbeknown to most of the planet Palin made a comment that thoroughly offended Robert Kennedy Jr. Kennedy was lamenting that Palin quoted an "avowed racist" who besides being a horrible person had wished his father Robert Kennedy, dead. Westbrook Peglar commented that we grow great people in small towns, and Palin echoed that in her speech.

It must mean Palin is a racist and hater of Kennedy's to boot.

It can't mean that a lot of people believe we grow good people in small towns.

So, the problem becomes, any criticism of Obama has the potential to turn into accusations of racism. I am afraid we will have a lot more of this is Obama becomes President.

My hope however is people don't stop calling Obama on his stuff despite, wacko Congressmen with a chip on his shoulder. Did I just say that? Yes, call me what you will, I prefer free speech over politically correct speech any day.

McCain Just Can't Compete

Sometimes I watch Obama and I think, yes! He' got a point! He's so well spoken and so good at stating his position in a easy to follow manner. He's different from Sarah Palin's plain spoken, 'you betchya' style. I saw a pic of him recently where he was striding along the tarmac ready to get into his airplane, cell phone in hand, crisp white shirt, and sunglasses. My God, he looks like a Vogue layout. How can he not win?

Then there is McCain who is starting to look smaller and smaller and more like a hobbit by the day. His arms, which I know are permanently injured are like little stubs, Standing next to his sexy blonde wife, he's even more weird looking, while Barack and Michelle are a match.

I don't know how McCain is going to overcome the inate sexiness and cool that is Barack Obama. Especially in a society that reveres style over substance. It's been said that in 1960 during the Kennedy, Nixon debate, people who watched the showdown on television, thought Kennedy won, those who listened on radio, thought Nixon won.

Thomas Sowel Nails It

We have been amazed as most conservatives by the media bias this elections cycle. It was obvious to anyone who supported Hillary Clinton and now it is obvious to anyone supporting John McCain. The media is deliberatly misleading and distorting, It's quite frustrating. The other night we had on KCAL 9 News. We weren't really watching as TV News is about as deep as a small bucket of water. Weonly heard the reporter. He was talking about Sarah Palin's attack on Obamas 'relationship' with William Ayers, who is a old 60's radical hippie who should be living in a trailer somewhere, but for some reason he is revered as a professor of some over priced university in Chicago.

Anywho, the reporter ended the segment by reminding viewers the Barack Obama was only eight years old when Ayers committed the bombings. We were livid! How dumb does the reporter think people are? Wait, don't answer that. We feel stupid stating the obvious, but who has accused Barack Obama of running around bombing peolple at eight years old or even present day for the matter? NO ONE!

But the media is so superficial it makes me cry. Here is a thought Mr. Cub Reporter on KCAL 9? He is associating with someone who is a home grown terrorist and worse, he says he had know idea. So, Obama is either stupid or a liar. At best he's a bad judge of charachter. What if he hung out with Timothy McVeigh on occassion? He's till hanging with a terrorist. Something most normal people don't do. Yeah, call me a racists for calling Obama stupid. I am done acting like it's okay.

Please read Thomas Sowell's wonderful piece about the facts and the distortion of. Do Facts Matter?

How is This Possible?

How does Angelina Jolie do this? Three little kids a bag of Cheetos and the woman looks like a runway model. And those children? Sometimes when I look at Brad and Angelina, my eyes hurt from the pure beauty. There needs to be a mole, or wart or something, just to make the playing field somewhat even between Angelina and the rest of us schlubs.

I love this picture because I can imagine being the woman sitting in the horse drawn carriage minding my own business and seeing this 'vision'. My ills would be cured and my life would be complete!

Mandatory Water Rationing...Even at the Oaks?

They're euphemistically calling it "Mandatory Conservation" instead of water rationing so we don't panic, but we wonder if the big old McMansions in the Oaks and beyond aren't using up a pretty pitcher of water that us phlebians down in Mulwood don't get close to using in a month. By the way, has anyone noticed the stench on the 101 freeway by Sperlings? We thinks the sewers behind gates runneth over. Las Virgenes Municipal Water District Mandatory Conservation Guidelines

O'Reilly Goes Postal On Barney

Bill O'Reilly isn't at his most articulate here, "stop the BS, stop the crap!", but oh how good does it feel to have someone challenge this criminal and lying sack of puke. Minute 2:00 is when the fun begins! Thanks Bill!

"Not Facing Any Kind of Financial Crisis" So,CALM DOWN You Mean Republicans!

“These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis, the more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.” Barney Frank in response to the Bush administration overhaul plan.

Senator Obama has also been a recipient of campaign donations from Fannie and Freddie according to the LA TIMES, However a campaign aid said the donations did not influence Obama in any way. Okay, if you say so Mr. Campaign Aid.

So, when Bush tried to overhaul the system to tighten up the regulations, according to this New York Times article, Obama's friends at Freddie and Fannie didn't expect anything in return. No, they all just wanted to make sure that folks got affordable housing.

Why John McCain is not shouting this from the rooftops just goes to show you, one party is corrupt and the other party is stupid.

Laws Don't Set You Free

Thank-you Cynthia Townley for the warning in this weeks edition of The Acorn Letters to the Editor.

Ms. Townley hits the nail on the head describing the future of Calabasas as 'one big HOA'. We are waiting for the ban on leaf blowers and washing your car in public. Next stop, Big Brotherville USA! Can't wait.

CHS Football Back to Normal

It saddens us to report that CHS football team lost last nights game against Channel Islands. Things are back to normal in Calabasas today and the victory bell is safe. The picture below should be placed in the trophy room and studied. This is history in the making and we have a feeling it's once in a lifetime. At least once in a high school career lifetime.

We Keep Forgetting We Have a Blog

So, it's been nine months but who is counting really? We're back and we're committed. Really we are. We start the blog with the great issue of the day. Something that really gets us going and touches us. Something that effects all Americans. Yes, today Paul Newman died. Butch Cassidy , Cool Hand Luke, we love you.

Kerry Endorses Obama, Hilary says "thanks!"

This is great news for Hilary. Having someone like Kerry endorse you, isn't necessarily a good thing. Actually the best part is visualizing John Edwards stomping his foot over this betrayal. Oh, to be a fly on the wall.Kerry Endorses Obama.

Low Income Housing? Is Agoura Too Good For It?

On December 20th, The Acorn ran a story that made our stomach turn. Apparently a Mr. Jim Lahana, representing the Morrison Ranch Homeowners Association in Agoura, made it be known, that Agoura was not the place for low income housing, despite law that requires communities to make available such housing. According to Mr. Lahana and as reported by the Acorn, 'Lahana said lower income families are generally less educated, and he equated very low income families with "fast food workers," crime and gang activity. He also said residents are worried that low-income families would violate housing codes and allow multiple families to move into single units.'

My goodness, I wonder what Lhana would think of us as our parents were defiantly 'working class'. A cop and a waitress to be exact. A cop and a waitress today would not be able to afford Agoura, Calabasas, Westlake and that is a shame. This sort of elitist mentality forgest the problems that plague communities like ours. It's called affluenza and it has a whole range of issues that we have discussed on previous posts.

Instead of fighting what might actually be something that adds to a community like Agoura, we should be paying attention to what is going on in Santa Monica. Read more by clicking the link below. Low Income Housing Done Right

Oprah, Obama and Hollywood

Hey, we like a hot looking politician with charisma, charm, and smarts as much as the next person. (No not Bill). We're intrigued with the whole Obama-mama-mania! But we're worried that his Hollywood connection could hurt him. Of course we guessed wrong when we thought the Oprah endorsement would be his death. We guess we're the only one who thinks "O" is a self serving, pompous ideologue, obsessed with ruling the world. But hey: that's just us.

We'll see in the long run. It looks like Hillary's tears helped her in New Hampshire. You go girl!

Hil Gets Real!

Hillary just made me love her. She got real! Please more of this Mrs. Clinton. We want to believe you aren't completely robotic and devoid of emotion. Bill had it down. Learn from the master baby! Anyway, I hope the rumors of her dropping out are not true. Keep going Hil.Clinton Gets Emotional on Campaign Trail

Back from the Dead

It's been awhile since we have spouted opinion here at the Calabasas Chronicle. What with life, work, kids, coffee with friends, spending time browsing e-Bay, etc, we've been very busy. But no more! Our blog will no longer be the forgotten stepchild. It is now a priority!

We start the year with the most compelling news of the day. The 2008 election? No. The war in Iraq? Nah, the Writers Strike? nope.

The most compelling news of the day is the complete and utter breakdown of Britney Spears. C'mon, everyone is talking about it. The woman has not only taken a long break from reality, but we are witnesses every moment of it, thanks to the paparazzi, celebrity blogs and T.V. shows like TMZ.

Amazingly sad, but completely mesmerizing, this story is not about to go away anytime soon.

According to my favorite Mean Guy, Perezhilton.com, Brit was seen Saturday night in Palm Springs, buying booze like a sorority sister with a Saturday night party to cater.

We think a poll is in order. Is this woman suffering from 1.substance abuse 2.post partum depression 3.bi-polar disorder 4.child celebrity syndrome 5.none of the above, who knows what her problem is and honestly, there is an election going on. Let's get real here.
