A Question For The Many Followers Of The Dalai Lama: When He Finally Steps Down From Power Will You Ever Finally Stand Up For Yourselves?

"Buddha" is the number one search term for TMR and, considering the number of people who think Buddhism and all that flows from it is cool, I (and a few others) don't see how most supposedly-educated people in the 21st Century can hold their heads up in public:

Every Western liberal’s favourite man-god has finally announced that he will relinquish political authority and allow his people to choose their own leader. Yes, the Dalai Lama, doyen of the West’s metropolitan chattering classes and hero of every suntanned seeker of spiritual enlightenment, has decided that 52 years is rather long enough to have claimed to speak on behalf of the Tibetan people (10 years longer than Colonel Gaddafi has been making similar BS claims in relation to Libya) and that the time has come for a leader “elected freely by the Tibetan people”. One question springs to mind: what took him so long?

I have never understood the Western hippyish love-in with this giggling monk from the East, where everyone from Hollywood royalty (Richard Gere, Sharon Stone) to literal royalty (Prince Charles) treats him as some kind of unfathomable well of godlike insight. After all, this is a bloke who claims to foreswear worldly goods yet who once guest-edited French Vogue, a mag packed with photos of half-naked women holding handbags that cost more than my house. He’s also done an advert for Apple, which I suppose is marginally better than doing one for BP, and he frequently turns up at glitzy celeb balls held in his honour, including one at which Sharon Stone introduced him as “Mr Please, Please, Please Let Me Back Into China!”, silly bint that she is.

Also, the Dalai Lama has the sorts of views on women and ethnic minorities which if they were uttered at an Islington dinner party would lead to half the guests instantly text-messaging Trevor Phillips to complain. One expert describes Tibetan Buddhist theocracy as “relentlessly misogynistic”. The Dalai Lama says gay sex is “unnatural”. In 1993 in Seattle (where else?) he told a fawning audience of students and part-time Buddhists that “nature arranged male and female organs in such a manner that is very suitable… same-sex organs cannot manage well.” Someone needs to send his Holiness a gay-sex manual. It is striking that some of the very same latte-sippers who get hot under the collar about the Pope’s hang-ups over homos and women also decorate their homes with the paraphernalia of a religious figure who believes the exact same stuff.

I guess I'll just have to accept that most people's beliefs are so superficial and pathetic, I'll never be able to expect anything more than blind cultists, searching for invisible "energy", by following a bunch of nobodies claiming to deliver magic that never appears.

I Don't Care - Obama Is Awesome! (No, It's Not A Cult - What Could Make You Think Like That?)

He Could Be Talking About Anybody Out There

Seriously - take out the "mad dog of the Middle East" line and this statement fits, pretty much, any nation that's known not to like us. Once we - the people of the United States - understand that, we will be able to move forward more confidently.

And by the way, about Reagan:

Is there anything he didn't accurately speak on?

The Ultimate Break-Up Song

Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton is singing that old Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams hit, Too Much Too Little Too Late, and rightfully so:

John R. Bolton, the former ambassador to the United Nations who is weighing a presidential run in 2012, accused President Obama on Friday of failing to address threats to U.S. national security and called the administration's approach to the crisis in Libya "pathetic."

Hours after the president warned that the United Nations was ready to launch a military strike to defend the Libyan people if their leader Moammar Kadafi did not halt his attacks on civilians and pull back from the rebel stronghold of Benghazi and three other cities, Bolton cast the president as indecisive, inconsistent and uninterested in foreign policy.

Speaking on the opening night of the state Republican Party convention in Sacramento, Bolton told fellow party members that had he been in charge, he would have moved far more swiftly and would have unilaterally declared a no-fly zone in Libya during the early stage of the crisis.

"Had we acted in those early days, we could have tipped the balance conclusively against Kadafi and this whole thing might be over," Bolton told hundreds of delegates over dinner in the ballroom of a downtown hotel. "Instead the president dithered, and he watched, and he waited, and he temporized."

"In the course of his ruminations, he said Kadafi has got to go — and then he still didn't do anything about it — thus exposing the United States to an enormous credibility problem with our friends and allies, as well as our adversaries."

In recent days, the United States and its allies at the United Nations have ratcheted up pressure on Kadafi to leave power. The U.N. Security Council agreed Thursday to use "all necessary measures" to protect the Libyan people, clearing the way for military strikes on Libyan aircraft and ground forces. The vote was 10 to 0 with five abstentions from Germany, China, Russia, India and Brazil.

"This is the great diplomatic successor to the Bush administration? Are you kidding me?" Bolton scoffed to laughter Friday night. In addition to his tenure as U.N. ambassador during George W. Bush's second term, Bolton also served as undersecretary of state for arms control and international security in Bush's first term,

In a broad-ranging and well-received critique of Obama's foreign policy, Bolton said Obama was "still not qualified to be president" two years into his term. He suggested that the president had underestimated the threats in North Korea and Iran and "doesn't see the rest of the world as terribly threatening to American interests," while placing his faith in international institutions to provide security for the United States.

"He is our first post-American president," Bolton said, adding that he didn't mean "un-American" or "anti-American." "He's kind of beyond all that patriotism stuff. He's got a much broader view of what our policy should be."

"We don't need a president who looks out for the interests of the rest of the world over ours," he said later in his speech, to applause. "We need a president who is proud of America, who will defend American interests."

I'm not sure "it's over" for us, as the song's quavering refrain says, but, if you ask me, there's definitely no romance left.

And in case you're wondering, yeah, I hope Bolton's running, if only to keep the others serious and honest. He'll gladly throw his support behind Palin when the time comes - Hey:

I wonder if she's got any singing skills?

Charlie Sheen Runs With A Bad Crowd? (Rubes)

Considering all the BS everybody wants to dump on regular guy Charlie Sheen - and, especially, considering the we-played-for-Gaddafi troupers - here's a few stories everybody should keep in mind the next time one of these celebrities are paraded before us as people we should look up to:

It’s no secret that Bill Clinton has long been friends with convicted sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein has contributed to both Bill and Hillary’s campaigns. But no one knew about the night Bill spent on Epstein’s private Caribbean island with three underage girls until now.

Oh, but this Epstein nonsense gets better:

Last week I wrote about a party thrown by this convicted sleazebag for a group of news anchors including Charlie Rose, George Stephanopoulos, and Katie Couric. The next day I received a message from Katie Couric expressing her regret for attending the party, Stephanopoulos and Rose never responded. So let me ask again: Why are George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Rose socializing with this guy? Don’t ABC and PBS have some kind of ethics clause in their employee contracts?

Nope, not done yet - over to England:

Prince Andrew attended naked pool parties at the home of his billionaire paedophile friend, it was claimed yesterday.

Young women frolicked nude in the swimming pool while the Duke of York visited the Florida mansion of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

And since we have to tie everything - literally everything - into Oprah and her friends (like NewAge "sweat lodge" murderer James Arthur Ray) here comes her gal pal - and children's book author - Sarah Ferguson:

The British Royal Family has added another scandal to its growing list, as news broke this weekend that ex-Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson once accepted £15,000 ($30,000) from a millionaire New Yorker convicted of pedophilia. 

 Ferguson, who held the nickname 'Fergie' from 1984 to 2003, accepted funds from hedge-fund millionaire and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in order to pay debts to her former personal assistant. Ferguson's ex-husband, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, reportedly assisted with the deal.

And to that we can only add one word:

Winning!

Uh-Oh: White Folks Making Rap Look Bad Again

Brawl Mars DMV Music Awards Outside Washington: MyFoxDC.com

This was the scene at Washington, DC's DMV Music Awards, which sent one person to the hospital. First Question Of The Day:

Why is the Department of Motor Vehicles hosting a Hip-Hop awards show?

We would've thought that trouble the brain-dead rapper DMX got into a while back would've told them something. (That incident was so stupid we even put it in our own Rap song.) Sigh.

We really don't know what to say about this, considering the whole everybody-played-for-Gaddafi thing, except that, if Yoshi's Jazz club in San Francisco is still planning on finally hosting Rap concerts (something they never even considered when we were performing with our buddy, Kevin Carnes, and The Broun Fellinis) they'd better move the tables further away from the stage.

Just sayin'.

SNL: Charlie Sheen's World Is Upside Down (Not All The Winning SNL Comedians That Have Died)

And let's not forget the SNL cast members who are still alive - they're winning! as well:

Spiritually Speaking: They're In The Same Gang

Sigh. Will someone PLEASE tell us something we don't already know:

ABC News gives us a refresher course on the weird, weird world of Moammar Gaddafi this morning as fighting in Libya continues. The liberation of the eastern part of the country allowed access to one of Gaddafi’s presidential palaces, and Libyans might find the dictator’s reading choices illuminating. Like more than one brutal dictator, Gaddafi seemed obsessed with the occult, with books on witchcraft lining the shelves. But the public oddities already known hinted at this already,...

What's next? News the Left has always been into the occult as well? Oh, we'll be so surprised. And here's an exit question for you:

If "like more than one brutal dictator," Gaddafi's fascination with witches and the occult makes him "weird," what does that say about today's Left and the Democratic Party's multi-decade use of it?
