Relationship Advice From This Woman?


Ashley Dupre, the high priced hooker that serviced former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer and then got caught up in the scandal that booted him from office, has a new gig.

She is writing a weekly sex and relationship advice column for the NY Post.

Now, she's a nice looking young lady. Beyond that, I have no idea what qualifies her to write an advice column for a major newspaper. I'm pretty certain that the paper could care less what she writes, they're just looking for her name recognition to help sell a few more papers. I am surprised the Post did this, and not the NY Times. Or maybe Playgirl would be more appropriate .... or HBO ...

Not sure what she's going to write (and don't really care), but it won't be Dear Abby stuff ... I doubt it will be a long term position.

Remember Our Heroes This Christmas


These two pictures were taken at Arlington National Cemetary. Merril Worchester, who runs the Worchester Wreath Co. in Harrington ME, has donated 5000 wreaths each year since 1992 to the cemetary. He pays for all transporation expenses, and also arranges for Maine school children to make seasonal visits to Arlington and Washington to help out placing them. God Bless you, Mr. Worchester, this is a beautiful tribute to the Heroes who rest there.

Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks hosted over 1000 soldiers and family members at a Mavericks game last night (Dec. 12) in their sixth annual Seats For Soldiers. 500 of the soldiers were from Ft. Hood. All of the courtside season ticket holders donated their seats to the effort, and many injured warriors made the trip up from the Brooks Medical Center in San Antonio (courtesy of American Ailines) to sit right up next to the action. Snowball Express IV, an effort that helps out families of service personnel lost on duty since 9/11 brought many family members to the event for a respite from their grief. These folks are in Dallas for 4 days to see the sights, and attend a bunch of events for their enjoyment.

I watched the game on TV, and saw at least three standing ovations recognizing these great folks. The Mavs did their part to entertain them, winning an exciting one point victory in overtime, on a Dirk Nowitzki shot with 1 second left. The players went back out onto the court to visit with the military members after the game was over.

Actor Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band were at the game, and will perform for the Snowball group. (More on that gentleman later ....)
Mark Cuban is seen by many as an arrogant flake. His political views are off the wall. However, he has never wavered in support of our troops and their families. For that, he deserves our respect.

Gene Barry - RIP

Gene Barry passed away on Dec. 9 in California. He was 90 years old.

Gene was an actor, featured in TV shows Bat Masterson, Burke's Law, and The Name of the Game, among others. He had many film and stage credits in the 50s, 60s, and early 70s.

The role for which he will ever be remembered (at least by me) was in the 1953 original War of the Worlds movie. I rated it as #3 on the all time greatest Sci-Fi movies in a previous post. I believe this was the only Sci-Fi movie he did, but it certainly was a memorable one.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Barry.

Another Democrat Slimeball Surfaces


Meet Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT). Senator Baucus is the senior Senator from Montana, first being elected in 1978. He is the chairman of the extremely powerful Senate Finance Committee. This committee controls the Senate side of Congress' ability to raise and spend money. As such, he is a key figure in Obamacare, and is the 'author' of the Senate version of the bill.

Max has been busted. He has admitted to having an affair with a staff member, Ms. Melodee Hanes.

Not only was she employed as a staff member, Max nominated her for a US Attorney's slot in Montana. As a staff member, she was paid by taxpayer funds, and was presented with a $14,000 raise last year (I guess she performed her assigned duties under the desk with distinction). She was included on his overseas trips to Southeast Asia and the Middle East, at taxpayer expense, even though she has absolutely no foreign policy duties or experience. She also consulted with Max's divorce attorney, helping arrange the divorce even before Ms. Baucus was even aware it was taking place.

Hanes is now employed by Obama's DoJ in Washington, and she is living with Baucus.

Now, why is this important?

Democrat hypocrisy is exposed once again. Remember South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, and his bizarre affair with an Argentine woman? Remember the outrage expressed over yet again another example of the Republican Culture of Corruption? Remember the outrage over Sanford using taxpayer money to take a plane to visit her? Remember that Democrats pushed for his impeachment, an effort which had mysteriously been retracted early this week (not coincidently just before this Baucus story broke)? Democrats were screaming for Sanford's head over just his affair while being in office. Yet, they are mysteriously quiet on Baucus, which involves not only an affair while in office, but misuse of public funds, inappropriate hiring, and lying to the public. If Sanford should have been impeached, Baucus should be thrown in jail.

Baucus is a key figure in Obamacare. The Finance Committee, which he runs, is the one key component of the effort to pass this legislation in the Senate. We have a crook, a liar, and a thief controlling a 2300 page piece of legistation that will define how 1/6 of our country's economy is controlled. He should be removed from his position on the committee immediately, and prohibited from participating until an ethics investigation has been convened and run its course (yeah, like Reid is going to allow that to happen ...).

10 Tips - What Timing



Golf Digest (The #1 Golf Publication, according to themselves), has just shipped its Jan. 2010 issue. The lead story and cover photo are titled "10 Tips Obama Can Take From Tiger". Talk about the worst timing for a lead story in the history of magazine publishing .....

There are two articles inside - tips from Tiger to Obama, and tips from Obama to Tiger. These are like a top 10 list, put together by writers and other golf related pros (Tiger and Obama had no part in the writing of the stories). Obviously, this was written before Tiger's current difficulties came to light.

Here are the very boring lists (after all, it is a golf magazine):

Tiger to Obama

1) The Quick Recovery
2) The Cold Ferocity
3) How to Step on Their Necks
4) The Trouble With Compromise
5) The Value of a Few 'Majors'
6) Controlling the Message - and Spending
7) The Swing Change
8) Clothes the Deal
9) You've Got to Deliver
10) The Danger of Looking Ridiculous


Obama to Tiger
1) Lighten Up
2) The Art of Grace
3) Crush Your Foes, Not Your Fans
4) Save Some for the Losers
5) Dial it Back a Little
6) Less Robot, More Warmth
7) At Least Look Like You're Having Fun
8) Sharing a Personal Moment
9) A Trio of Essential Moves
10) Keep Your Day Job


Now some of those titles ... I could write paragraph upon paragraph to explain what these SHOULD mean, but what the magazine prints is pretty bland.....

The current situation with Tiger, combined with this incredibly ill-timed cover, just begs for parody. I would bet that every late night comedian is going to put out their own '10' lists to capitalize on this. I would imagine that Leno's will be the best, you might want to Tevo it tonight.

I challenge my many millions of readers out there ....

Send me some entries for your top ten lists - Obama to Tiger, Tiger to Obama. I don't care how racy or ludicrous they are. I will publish the results here, and the two I deem to be the best will forever be honored in the VoodooWarrior Blog Hall of Fame.

It might even qualify you for a Nobel Peace Prize - God knows you will have done more to earn it than Obama did ....

More Pelosi Porkulus Exposed

Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) have listed 11 pork projects paid for by the $787 billion porkulus bill as examples of how our tax dollars are being flushed down the toilet by this Democrat controlled Congress. These examples are in addition to the ones I listed in an earlier post:

- 1.9 million for water taxis in Pleasure Beach, CT. Congress approved the money after a fire destroyed the bridge to Pleasure Beach, but the area already is accessible by foot and rowboats.

- 3.8 million for an urban art trail in Rochester, NY.

- 3.1 million for upgrades to a boat owned by the NY State Museum. The boat dates back to 1921 and was originally used in canals.

- 3 million for bicycle racks in Georgetown -- the Washington, DC, neighborhood that is one of the wealthiest areas in the country.

- 1.5 million to improve the streetscape in the six blocks surrounding a downtown Detroit casino.

- 578,000 for fighting homelessness in Union, NY. According to a local news report, the town never asked for the stimulus money and did not even have a program through which to administer the money. The town supervisor said he wasn't aware of a homelessness problem in the town.

- 550,000 for a skateboard park in Pawtucket, RI.

- 500,000 for fish food in Missouri, to help defray the costs for state fish farmers.

- 400,000 for renovations to a vacant building in Jal, NM.

- 380,350 to encourage landowners in West Virginia to grow shiitake mushrooms and ginseng.

- 90,000 for a communal kitchen in Watsonville, CA. The shared kitchen is meant to help food service entrepreneurs.

So that's about 16.5 million of our dollars pissed away on things that are certainly not needed, and in most cases not wanted.

Now, if you think that's bad, just wait until Obamacare is passed ... it will take page after page of single spaced typing to list all the pork that will be contained in the final bill.

Just to be fair, this isn't just a Democrat problem - abuse of pork is truly one of the few things that is bi-partisan in Washington. Rep. Kirk, who is running for the Senate seat vacated by Obama, was guilty of landing more than 30,000,000 for 19 pork projects in his home district, including a planetarium and a religious outreach program.

Slamming Obama, Reid, and Pelosi for the wasteful use of our tax dollars as a basis for the 2010 mid-term elections is fair game. They ought to be called out for what they are doing. But ... (and it hurts me to say this) ... Republicans doing the call outs really shouldn't be the ones who are just as guilty.

Another Flight in Paradise

Happiness is getting onto your flight early, and getting the window seat just where you want.

Sadness is hearing that the plane will be entirely full.

Happiness is seeing the plane loaded, and the middle seat next to yours is one of two empties left on the plane.

Sadness is seeing two women rush onto the plane just as the door is about to close. One of the women is nice looking and petite, the other looks like a hillbilly and measures five foot x five foot x five foot.

Happiness is seeing the bowling ball shaped lady take the empty seat 6 rows in front of you.

Happiness is seeing the nice looking petite lady take the empty middle seat next to you.

Sadness is about 5 minutes later, when you realize the nice looking petite lady now sitting next to you apparently doesn't believe in bathing.

Sadness is being stuck next to her for a 3 hour flight.

Oh, the joys of business travel.

Damn ... This Man Should be in the White House

Meet Allen West. This retired US Army Lt. Colonel is running for US Congress, the 22nd District of Florida (Broward county, the coast from Ft. Lauderdale north to Palm Beach Gardens). If this speech doesn't fire you up, then in Outlaw13's wise words, you're not alive.

Global Warming Cripples Houston

Flash! - Just as Algore predicted, global warming has crippled Houston today. Thank God for Algore and his scientific concensus that has told us that we'll all die due to manmade global warming. Undisputable proof that the globe is warming at an alarming rate happened today when it snowed in Houston ....

Houston, Texas ..... snow ..... global warming ..... it all makes perfect sense, in a liberal state of mind!

That Wacky Dean ....

Howard Dean ... this train wreck of a man, this fellow bordering on insanity, is THE poster child for the modern Democrat Party. What makes him so outrageous is not what he says, but that what he says are the beliefs and goals of the far left kook fringe that controls the Democrat Party these days.

Here he is, speaking to a group in Paris in April of this year, extolling how capitalism is gone, how it has to be merged with socialism, and how Obama is leading the efforts in this and to make America 'more European'. Is it just me, or are the audience members falling asleep?

You can listen to this as crazy ramblings of someone who is not all there, mentally. Or you can listen to it as it actually is - a statement of policy for the Democrats.

Disgusting, and scary ....

What Drives This Man?

An observation, if I may ...

Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush were all driven to do what they did in office by their convictions and their beliefs. They did what they thought was right for the country and its citizens. Sometimes the majority of folks in the country agreed with them, sometimes they did not.

Bill Clinton didn't do anything of substance in office without having the input of multiple polls, focus groups, and surveys. His was the very definition of a government run to apease the people and his own approval polls.

Barack Obama ... well, this guy is cut from a different mold. We have never had a President who has been as radical in his views as Obama. He came into office with a far left wing agenda hell bent on changing America into His vision. He is driven to do what he does by His vision, what He wants to do to the country.

Where Reagan and the Bushes were open with what they did, and told us they were doing what they felt was right, Obama is playing the most two-faced game I have ever seen come out of Washington. He continues with the moderate, above it all, logical, well spoken facade, intended to placate moderate Democrats and Independents. This facade is nothing but an empty suit - it speaks well, but says nothing. At the same time, he pleads with the far left kook fringe - his base, his home - for patience, to allow him to continue his Socialist takeover of our country. He is trying his best to give both sides what they want to see and hear. Purpose - to keep his power structure intact, and give him the middle of the road support that is essential to his dismantling of our society.

In short, Obama has an agenda, one that has been formulated by the far left for years. This agenda, and nothing else, is driving His Presidency. The only reason He cares at all what anyone thinks of him and what he is doing, is so that He can keep them in the dark long enough to get all of His agenda implemented.

Poor Tiger ......

Folks, we're witnessing the unraveling of a modern day legend ....

Tiger Woods getting clubbed (literally) over the head by his wife and subsequently crashing his SUV ... well, you know there just had to be more to it.

Now that his affairs over the years are coming to light, the shine is sure to tarnish the god-like aura that has surrounded the man since he broke onto the golf scene. We are just starting to hear about women who have played host to his driver - there will probably be many more come to light. Previously, the only negative to his persona was his loud and frequent use of profanity in public during his game.

Tiger has been on a pedestal that few people ever attain ... I can only think of Michael Jordan as a peer for him. This will certainly trim a few inches off that pedestal!

Now, I am not passing judgement on him or his behavior - I have no right nor desire to do so. What does interest me is how the public and media will react to this, and how those who have bowed at the Tiger Altar for so long will now view their exalted hero.

Will this destroy him ... no chance. Look at Kobe Bryant ... accused of rape, admitted affair ... I am sure he was damaged personally, but he's still got his endorsements and salary and thousands upon thousands of black kids who want to be the next big NBA thing - just like him. Tiger's bigger than Kobe. He'll probably lose his wife, half of his mega bucks, and face some embarrassing interviews - but he will survive.....
Update - He will survive, but a lot less rich ... His 'wife' is demanding a redo of their pre-nup, apparently wanting a ton of money to put up the 'good wife' front. He's been linked to at least 10 different women - he'd fly one of them into certain cities for a little fun during select tournaments. Some lady, as yet unidentified, was rushed to a hospital last night from his house at 2:30am. Some sources say his 'wife' has moved out of the house.
