Great Moments in Hypocrisy

Hello My Dear Friends. Hypocrisy seems to be the new normal these days. Recently though, in the past week alone, it seems to be reaching epic levels. Take Dumb and Dumber star Jim Carrey. He is refusing to promote, or support in any way, his new movie "Kick-Ass 2". He says the movie is just too violent and, since the Newtown Shootings, he has had a change of heart about depicting violence. Really? It's not just because your movie, like most of your movies in the past, is destine to bomb? Well, Mr. Carrey, if you're so opposed to this movie, why not give all the money you earned making it to charity? I didn't think so. Don't even get me started (again) on Paula Deen. She admitted using the "n-word" 30 years ago. I emphasize "admitted" because she could have denied it but chose not to. I'm not defending the use of the word. It's wrong. It's also a word that is used routinely today in movies and music. Jesse Jackson's group, The Rainbow/PUSH Coalition has jumped into the fray. They say they're going to investigate this incident to ensure proper punishment! That would be the same Jesse Jackson who referred to New York City as "Hymietown". What? I guess it's not what you say but who says what.  New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says he will put an end to corruption in Albany. I know, LOL, right! He then passes the new "casino legislation" after quietly removing the provision that would stop those seeking to build a casino in New York from making campaign contributions. So Governor, your plan to end corruption starts with a bill that encourages potential casino owners to give money to those making the decision. Genius! I have to admit, I would have never thought of that. What could possibly go wrong? IRS Chief Danny Werfel has completed his investigation into his own organization and determined that no one did anything wrong. I'm shocked! I guess they really did deserve the $70 million in bonuses he just handed out! Finally (for now) after endless months and millions of tax dollars used to warn you and me about how the "Government Sequester" was going to bring this country to it's knees, the President has decided that a $100 million dollar trip to Africa would be a good use of tax dollars. Seriously? Good thing they shut down the White House tours, otherwise we could never have afford that!
