Nitwit Tidbits

Like the rest of Philip's postings on the SET Political Review this week, there's not much of interest here.

KFDM Loses Another One - Ashley Rodrigue is gone gone gone. It seems (according to our sources) Ashley is going to Baton Rouge (LSU Baby!) and will take a reporters job. More money - bigger market for a talented young lady. They are really bailing now.

I suppose losing one reporter in the past six months constitutes a major bailout in Philip's world, but he didn't mention the real swinging door in the local media. 

Neither did Philip didn't mention that Ashley Rodrigue is returning home, after she added some experience to her resume' at KFDM. Nor did PRK mention that staff members at KFDM were given $1500 bonuses after the Chapter 11 reorganization of parent company Freedom Broadcasting was approved by the US Department of Justice.

My prediction: look for several new and highly-qualified people joining the Channel 6 news department in the coming weeks. Readers will remember that Philip claimed the Beaumont Enterprise was to be sold last year, but Klein published a recent internal memo on his site that indicated the Enterprise was hiring new reporters as well.

Miriam Bolts - Baby La Strange? [sic] One of the gang of Seven goes bye bye in the middle of whatever. So the County Judge Jeff Branick calls ... d*** - sorry let's start again. The county judge Ron Walker calls a meeting to pick her number two. Hello GOP - there will be an election - YOU CAN WIN THIS ONE WITH A GOOD NAME. GET ON IT NOW GOPERS!

The last time Philip mentioned Miriam Johnson on The Southeast Texas Political Review, he claimed she would run for Jefferson County Judge against Nick Lampson. Neither of them ran and Miriam is retiring.

Beaumont Enterprise - Interesting - the Beaumont City Database posted. Wow! Talk about big government.

In spite of his bias against the Enterprise, Philip still quotes them. Klein's primary criteria on "big government" is whether it's dominated by Republicans or Democrats.

Love Those Democrats - Blaming tea parties for angry tirades. As the victims. Funny stuff. Can anyone remember? History changed? Look over here? Not at what we passed? Wait until your next town hall guys. - here - look for yourself!

Regular readers of the SET Political Review are quite familiar with politics based on hate and hysteria, but Philip again proves he has a hard time keeping up with current events. John Boehner called the vote on the health care bill "Armageddon." It was Newt Gingrich who said the Democrats are responsible for threats from the Tea Party.

Perhaps Philip and Newt are still angry about sending Grandma to the death panels.

Lot's of Emails - Will post Friday. Some really funny ones. Lots of cops wrote us!

All written by Philip Klein to himself, as usual.

Attorney Thought - We had an attorney tell us today that he thought all of the tickets should be thrown out for entrapment. There was not emergency therefore no crime. That would be funny stuff if that happened. But we doubt it. We will see. It only takes one.

Philip is "100 percent pro-cop."

Shocking - Get this one. The Social Security Fund is bankrupt. Like not in 2016 - now. Today. It is bankrupt. No more money today. Wow!

From the Summary of the 2009 Annual Reports by the Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees:

Social Security's annual surpluses of tax income over expenditures are expected to fall sharply this year and to stay about constant in 2010 because of the economic recession, and to rise only briefly before declining and turning to cash flow deficits beginning in 2016 that grow as the baby boom generation retires. The deficits will be made up by redeeming trust fund assets until reserves are exhausted in 2037, at which point tax income would be sufficient to pay about three fourths of scheduled benefits through 2083.

This isn't good news, but the point is that Philip again shows confusion and miscomprehension over the real issues. This is typical for those with the attention span of a gnat - Philip has already forgotten his investigation into those purported Hatch Act Violations.

**** Bombs - FBI Directive to Homeland. Watch for women with big ***. They could be bombs. We are not kidding. IT is serious. God help us.

I edited Klein's crude language. 

The Bayou - We just jumped over to the Gator House and was shocked. No shots at KBTV this week? What the hell? Funny stuff. You never hear a peep out of the toothed one on KFDM as it simply dies on the vine.

I defer to Philip on this, as he's tried many times to criticize KFDM on The Bayou. As noted, he's either ignored or laughed out of the comments.

Kelli's Corner - Well - we want to be nice. But we are looking for political blogs - not a recipe house. So we are going to watch a couple more posts regarding Kelli Phillips blog on KFDM before we drop it. It goes a little bit political or it has to go. Where are all the political blogs? Someone?

Klein apparently thinks he's in charge of Kelli's blog, but she can write about any subject she wishes. Kelli's Creamy Chicken recipe sounds much better than Philip's Ragu Spaghetti Recipe, which involves combining one jar of Ragu with a half container of cheap parmesan cheese.
