If you walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away… we’ll be fine.

Signed,
America

It will be interesting to see how many of these celebrities are even still celebrities, and how many of them have had to go out and try to find real jobs after their own entertainment venues have gone out of business.

We Are One, but Some Are More One Than Others

Indeed.

‘America is just for Americans,’ Bono

Funny, I saw you in concert, bought your albums, and I don’t think you’d have gotten where you are, sir, without America. If you thought you could, why’d you market yourselves here in the first place? Wear your blue shades, sir, and go whine about AIDS in Africa. How much did America give there, sir? How much?

Jon Voight, Robert Duval, Gary Sinese…

Include Bruce Willis and you’d just about have the whole list.
There are not even five righteous men in Sodom – uh – Hollywood.

It’s a revolting spectacle — an unbelievable exercise in self-aggrandizement using other people’s money and I’m afraid I see it as a symbol of licentiousness, excess and moral decay. It’s the zenith of a materialistic personality cult whose captives are doomed to bitter disappointment, and will lash out against responsible members of society when it starts to dawn on them that their unrealistic ambitions are not going to be achieved.

The giant give-aways of money that we don’t have is going to result in job losses, economic stagnation and rampant inflation. Hello 15% unemployment, 17% inflation and 20% interest rates. Borrow 5-year money now. If your income keeps up with inflation, your debt will be cut in half (in real terms) before you know it. That’s how the government (if that isn’t an abuse of the term) is going to pay back the trillions.

Strangely changes things

Couldn’t have said it better.

DIAF, Bono. How’s that for HopeNChange?

We are homeless, unemployed, and starving to death, and the President Elect is spending $150,000,000 on a party?

…and sitting in a glass-contained isolation booth complete with heaters. “Appearing” “among the people.”

I watched a clip on FOX of the O-Big-Do from yesterday and when Springstein was screaming on stage with his grotesque facial expressions, the choir behind him was composed except for this one guy being shown from the hips down, just behind and to Springstein’s Left (viewer’s right of screen behind Springstein): the guy was doing a hip-grind throughout.

There’s this choir in supposed glory stance, there’s this screeching Springstein without melody or composure and there behind him, full-on in the upper right screen o’ the television was this guy’s hips in his robe grinding away.

I think that about sums up what it was all about yesterday.

Now I know where it comes from: insulting arrogance like this statement quoted there by Bono. What a doofus.

Adding U2 to the heap of useless, irritating biting flies among us.

Are we gonna have a live chat tomorrow?

I suspect most will agree with me, that even though the TV is in the kitchen not watched by anybody it sounds sooo much like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade!!!

I am not gonna watch the vid, because Bono has no clue of what America stands for, what we are, our history (even with this huge misstep) and whatever we do as a country gets shoved in the trunk just because we elected this copycat MLK empty suited jerk to be our POTUS.

I consider it a serious lack of judgment, sky-high ego to compare myself to an ex-president. It is contradictory to be on one part the new, the first and then look at the past and pretend to be compared to an ex-president.

It’s like desecration of the Steelers’ Terrible Towel. Times 3!!!!!! Hey, who in this thread is gonna pass the drinks, jello shots and whatnot whenever he mentions “hope” and change”?

We are homeless, unemployed, and starving to death, and the President Elect is spending $150,000,000 on a party?

Hope and Change.

Hope and Change.

Hope and Change.

Hope and Change.

Stick to music, Bono; although admittedly that train had already sailed for U2 a few years ago.

Are we so shallow a society that we cannot formulate our own opinions but need the comforting blanket of a Tom Hanks endorsement?

Yes.

We’re also, in general, a nation of whiners, but don’t dare call us that.

I had already planned to throw the video on my blog on Tuesday. I can’t think of a more appropriate song to describe what I’ve seen in the last year.
