News From the News: 'WOG comment: What a bunch of nonsense from Geico. The Dems are real cut-throat!
“Full Metal Jacket” star and Geico's “Therapist Sarge” R. Lee Ermey said the insurance giant fired him from his commercial spot for speaking out against President Barack Obama, according to a report from TMZ.
Ermey played a former drill sergeant in the commercial, where he called a weeping man a “jackwagon” before throwing a box of tissues at the man in a hilarious and popular commercial for Geico.
But in 2010, Ermey slammed the president’s policies, saying his administration was attempting to “impose socialism” on the American people and, in the process, was “destroying the country,” TMZ reports.
Shortly afterward, he apologized for making the comments, but not before Geico decided to give him the boot. He told TMZ that he was fired over the incident, adding “if you’re conservative in this town, you better watch out.”
Good morning, Phoo. I go back to Wound Care tomorrow...sigh. My foot has been bleeding and draining and I don't know why. I hope you're doing well--say 'hi' to Ms. Page for me.
Mornin' Ponders. Froggy am so sorry to hear about your foot. It seems like you no sooner got the good report that it was healing , it started to bleed.
Wolfie Report: BAD! Just to be nice, I added more litter to the box. This morning I awoke to a sand beach...ouside the box. He had fun kicking all that "sand" everywhere. He'll be lucky if he gets any litter in his box!
No, Phoo--we're very careful about such things. 'Woggy DOES let him watch Attack Cats on the animal channel, though. An she goosed him up with a bunch of catnip yesterday!
OOh Nooooo! A 60's catnipped wild thing! that makes our heart sing. He means everything to us...... Wild thing! Hi Froggy! Praying for your health dear one.
Phooey, you're so dear to all of us. I love you, pal of mine! The 'rug' is asleep right now--sleeping on his back with his feet in the air! Wild thang, indeed; he was sleeping on my foot as I read on the computer last night.
I understand some 'rugs' move without notice. Stepping on some of those moving 'rugs' can bring a surprise to both stepper and steppie. 'I love you, pal of mine!' brought tears to my eyes! I love you also, pal of mine! Zip from the storm.
Froggy, I hope the draining means that some infection is coming out and that it will be a good thing. HAVE NO FEAR tomorrow. We stand with you, arm in arm, 24-7. Please let us know how it goes.
WOG, hope your back starts to feel better. You know we Ponders keep you in our prayers, too.
Phooey, yay! NCIS night! I'll be clicking back and forth between that and the Convention. My very own Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallon is making a speech. Hope she does well. Our economy (at least OKC's) is in a renaissance, and I think she had a lot to do with it! I'm also interested to see what the Governor of Utah has to say.
Am watching the convention now. Kathy McMorris-Rodgers who "represents eastern Washington." Those are her words. I am so glad that people will get a chance to see her speak. I wish we could get people like her to represent western Washington and turn Washington from a blue state into a red state.
Chris Cristy speaks tonight. Picture him serving the Romney admin as press secretary - the thought makes me laugh.

I lost respect for him when he apologized. Geico lost my business.
