6 What goes good with crow? Romney is meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day. I am now having trouble calling him Mittens.

7 The guy has over saturated the market.  You can't turn on the TV or look at a paper or magazine without seeing his image.  People are tired of him.  Bet his poll numbers would go up if he'd just sit down and shut up for a while.

June 22^nd is an important day in the history of the measurement standards used in science today. The first official standard meter and kilogram were presented at the Archives de la République in Paris.

11 #6, it's ok.  Nice thing about humans is their capacity to exceed and surprise.

Obama on the other hand has met my expectations of disaster.

12 @4
shhhhh, don't give them ideas.

13 So yes Obama is a stuttering clutterbuck of a miserable failure.

14 I heard Romney put a dog on the roof of his car. The filthy bastard.

15 @7, who? Obama?

16 "Apparently, they just couldn't move seats." I know what you need, Barry: A Rose Garden nip slip.

17 @12, it's not like they can fund raise anything out of a broke-as-shit hobo?

18 Charging for tickets to see Obama is racist.

19 I know what would move seats for Obama...

For each ticket sold, the buyer gets an Obama chia-pet and an iPod loaded with all of Obama's speeches.

20 Afghan resort hotel at lake outside Kabul was attacked by Taliban, 18 killed (mostly civilian) including the Taliban attackers. The resort management deny the Sharia propaganda charges: alcohol served and immoral behavior taking place at the resort.

Off Friday through Sunday? /immoral/

21 I wonder what obama would do if Mitt declared that he would support an investigation of every  criminal act committed  by obama and his cronies while they were in office?

22 @21, Blame Bush.

23

Bus lady is up to 450K. And the guy that set up the fund who then ha a fund set up for him   with a goal of $2500, is up to $3500.

Safe to say, she's now going to retire from the bus after 20 years of driving, and 2 years of monitoring it.

24 Maybe you should shit on a cop car, Barrack.

I don't know why he should worry.  After all, according to him we're all be underwater by then anyway.  Say, whatever happened to that rising sea level?

"Seems like President Obama is a hard sell these days, even for Democrats."

28 yep, Romney is really working it.  does my heart good

29 Yesterday crying Boner urged house Republicans not to gloat if Castrocare gets shot down by SCOTUS because the focus should be on jobs and economic growth. (Reuters) http://scoamf.us/wb Well pardon me John but Obamacare would further kill job creation and the economy if enacted. Not that it will matter to this lawless bunch of Chicago goons anyhow, they'll just do another end run while the RINOs have another 5 martini lunch. I'm going to be happy as heck if SCOTUS kills that monstrosity.

30 Politico MSNBC wannabe Tweets Ann Romney penis joke.

Bugger Joe just can't get ol' wobbly Willy up for Moochelle who coincidentally dumps Barry on the rest of us.

"He's your husband, too."
"Marriage: between Obama and Everyone"
"POTUS": Authoritarian Husband of the World.

31 I'm going to be happy as heck if SCOTUS kills that monstrosity.

We all will, but Boehner was right.  The only way to lose this election now is if we start making mistakes.  Public gloating by GOP politicians would play right into the Dems hands.  I'd rather win the election.

32

Good morning, all, and thanks for the headlines, Gabe.

 

All I have today is a Cecil B. DeMille story, but it illustrates why people who worked with him were fanatically loyal:

 

DeMille was constantly on the move, directing, ordering, thinking and planning.  Too busy to look at menus every day to decide what he wanted for lunch, he asked Paramount commissary head Pauline Kessinger to pick something for him.  For some reason, she decided DeMille liked pea soup.  So every Monday, she made sure the director had a bowl of split-pea soup, a piece of custard pie and a glass of milk.

 

One day the kitchen ran out of peas.  When Kessinger saw DeMille walk in, she panicked.  Taking a deep breath, she went over to him and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. DeMille, but I'll have to give you something else today.  I'm going to have to fire the chef, because we ran out of peas.".  DeMille smiled and put both arms around her.  "Honey, may I tell you something?" he asked.  "I hate split-pea soup."

 

Kessinger nearly collapsed.  "But, Mr. DeMille, why did you let me serve it to you for twenty years?"  "You seemed to be so pleased with that choice," DeMille chuckled.  "I didn't want to hurt your feelings."

33 Boehner is channeling Han Solo in Beltway-speak.

Luke, "I got one! I got one!"

Han, "Don't get cocky kid."

Lets keep the eye on the football, sending Obamacare and Obama packing.

34 What does it take to actually get thrown OUT at Politico?  Williams was only "suspended."

35 Morning Mary Poppins, here is something I wrote back in 2009 as an attempt at  humor at Obama's expense.

37 Posted by: pep at June 22, 2012 07:25 AM (YXmuI) --- Agreed, we absolutely shouldn't gloat. But given his previous statements about preserving "popular" portions of Obamacare I am getting quite tired of the understated responses to the tyranny of this administration. I'm not saying he should make an Alan West type statement in his position as Speaker, but I find hos "moderation" a bit excessive.

38 Another example of Obama desperation... make voting mandatory. Article over at Breitbart.

Yes, that would be the one.  But he wouldn't do such a thing.  A whole day of not seeing his mug in the press would probably cause severe depression, and God only knows what kind of mischief that would cause the world.

Its the most difinitive, forceful statement he has made since becoming Speaker. Boner and the Rino pricks that voted yes on the bloaded farm bill need to be retired. Was very dissappointed to see Thune on that list, thought he was one of the good guys.

 

43 "Apparently, they just couldn't move seats." We'll appear with you and do "Wooly-Bully," Mr. President.

44 That new Catholic Ad is pretty good.  Really hammers Obama in a "polite" way.

45 Sock, be gone.

46 R's don't normally gloat. Thats one of the  subtle differences between them and dumbocrats.

47 @41 He's just another John Edwards. Loves seeing his "pretty" face on TV constantly.

48 Where's Vic??? I just moved out of Georgia recently. The economy is in the toilet like it is in most other places. (I did leave for a better job) if you have a job there, good luck keeping up with the rising cost of everything. Shortly before I left Obarky had some big fund raisers in ATL re: Tyler Perry's house etc. Did not raise as much as projected and tied up rush hour traffic in one of the worst driving towns in the country. Folks were not impressed!

49 47 R's don't normally gloat. Thats one of the subtle differences between them and dumbocrats.

We do, we just do it in private, with dignity.

50 Take heart, alexthechick, your vote counts for more.  That's what I told myself when we lived in Ohio. 

51 When the great mass of voters actually start to get engaged on the election, they will stop and look at both candidates.

They will look at Obama and consider what he's given them the last four years, then they'll look at Romney, the alternative, and see a competent, slightly bland guy who isn't the other guy, and they'll decide to vote for him because there's no big flaws and the other guy sucks.  Election night will be called early.

52 Hey wing nuts!

I cut the ticket price because Moochelle cut a good deal with the rescue dog center so the dog-chops were lots cheaper than we thought.

Weekly Standard, via Drudge: retiring Dem Gary Ackerman:

Ackerman responds: " Your premise is that comity exists now. It may not be entirely accurate. It used to be you had real friends on the other side of the aisle. ItÂ’s not like that anymore. Society has changed. The public is to blame as well. I think the people have gotten dumber. I donÂ’t know that I wouldÂ’ve said that out loud pre-my announcement that I was going to be leaving. [Laughter] But I think thatÂ’s true. I mean everything has changed. The media has changed. We now give broadcast licenses to philosophies instead of people. People get confused and think there is no difference between news and entertainment. People who project themselves as journalists on television donÂ’t know the first thing about journalism. They are just there stirring up a hockey game."

Bet his poll numbers would go up if he'd just sit down and shut up once in a while.

 

Ain't that the truth!  Every damned day, there he is, flapping his mouth about something or other.  I swear he's like a shark - if he stops talking, he dies.  Hell, he and the Mooch probably have separate bedrooms; instead of "zzzzzzz" when he sleeps, it's all "i i i i i i i i"

I think whomever is in charge of the schedule of the WH has severely underestimated that point. Just like a good umpire or official is rarely noted, the president ought to be in that same category.

Shut up, do your job and don't draw attention to it. There's a lot of wisdom to be found in there, but that is not an abundant resource in politics.

63

powerlineblog dot com notes that a lawsuit has been filed challenging the constitutionality of the Dodd-Frank frankenstein:

The lawsuit’s major claim is that the formation and operation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) violates the constitution because its director (or czar) is not accountable to Congress or the President, and the decisions of the agency are not even subject to judicial review. The CFPB escapes meaningful congressional oversight because its budget – some $400 million – comes from the Federal Reserve. As for the president, he cannot overrule actions taken by the CFPB, and can only remove the director “for cause,” e.g., inefficiency, neglect of duties, or malfeasance, not disagreement over substance. Finally judicial review is limited because courts are required by the legislation to defer to the CFPB regarding the meaning or interpretation of any provision of federal consumer financial law.

Starting Monday, MSNBC is introducing a new 3 p.m. show The Cycle. Its permanent co-hosts are: author and commentator Touré, New York Daily News columnist S.E. Cupp, Salon’s Steve Kornacki and former Congressional candidate Krystal Ball.





Toure? Krystal Ball? This has to the lead in for the Howard Beale Show.

88 Day #2: Open windows, and clean choom resin off the TV.

89 If you look at the latest Bloomberg poll you'll see Romney really have much of a chance. The country really likes Obama and is leery about a guy who made a fortune by wrecking buisinesses.

90 I like the dunking booth idea.  As long as it's not rigged.  Put Pelosi and Shumer in there with him, and I would be sooooo there!

91 Just wait 'till the Southern Fundamentalist Revolt Against the Cult of Mormonism gets started. We paid for it, and it's gonna be awesome. Starting any day now....any...day.

Kinda like me, I just read the teleprompter.

97 In the internals of every poll you see one fact stands out.  Most Americans have no idea who Romney is and what he stands for.

This is a sad measure of how disconnected most people are from politics.  This falls back on the logical fallacy that if something is important to me it must be important to others.  The fact is, no, what is important to you is important to you.  My girlfriend is a brilliant college professor who could describe for you in detail the intricate workings of human physiology - but she doesn't give a damn about politics.  I, on the other hand, don't care about physiology so we're even.

I believe that once people do engage, all of these polls showing Obama 46 and Romney 42 will turn into Romney 54 and Obama 46.  Obama is a KNOWN entity.  Whatever his number is in these polls is likely what he'll get, if not less and people really think about how lame he is.

What's that spell?  BLOWOUT.

Think of Obama making his concession speech on Election Night.

 

I really really want to borrow ace's time machine that he totally doesn't have and totally won't share because he totally doesn't have it and go watch the lamentations of MSNBC on election night. It will take a heart of stone not to laugh myself sick.  It'll be even better if they've convinced themselves that Obama will win and it turns into a landslide.

 

Seriously, I have to remember to put in for vacation on Nov. 6 and 7. Election Day because I know I'll be driving people to the polls in between obsessively refreshing here and the day after because I'll be a. massively hungover or b. still drunk.

I think I saw every emergency vehicle in town yesterday.

And if anyone says "trains" I start twitching.

156 BANGKOK (AP) — World stock markets fell Friday as gloomy economic reports from the world's two biggest economies heightened fears of a sharper global downturn. In Europe, leaders were set to weigh options for fixing the continent's debt crisis.
On Thursday, the U.S. Labor Department reported that the four-week average of applications for unemployment benefits jumped to the highest level in nine months. Meanwhile, sales of previously owned homes fell 1.5 percent in May.

A further sign of weakness in the world's No. 1 economy came from the Philadelphia branch of the Federal Reserve, which issued a report showing that manufacturing in the northeast had experienced a sharp decrease due to a steep fall in company orders.

How can this be? Barry lifted the car out of the ditch. The wheat crop has never been better comrades. The 5 year plan is working!!

157 @150 Would he accept defeat at all? "We cannot change course now. This country won't survive without my once-in-a-lifetime leadership and wisdom. Therefore I've declared martial law and I am now President for life. Have a nice day."

So. . .what does that say about McCain's campaign.

 

Think of it as a clown car with a really hawt hood ornament.

159 "For a $3 donation, Barack will come shovel the snow away from your car, too!  Enter today for your chance to win!" xoxo, Michelle

Loved the linky above on Gowdy's comments about that nut job Pelosi.  As deranged as she is, even I was stunned at her accusations of voter suppression being the reason Holder is in the hot seat.  That braying donkey feels perfectly comfortable in every, single lie she tells.

160 So, the guy who wanted to blow up an Atmos Energy station in Plano is, apparently, "Anti-Government," which, as we all know, is code for "Conservative" now-days.

One problem: He's a GD Hippie weenie who's mad at his parents for "forcing him" to be a "rich lawyer, when I've always wanted to be a writer instead."

So... once again: left wing, paranoiac wacko- but the media will just sum up with "Anti-Government."

164 So...what does that say about McCain's campaign.

The McCain campaign showed epic ineptness.  Easily the least competent republican presidential campaign in the past 80 years. 

That added to the fact that the product itself wasn't particularly appealing or have much presidential aspect, plus an unfortunate turn of external circumstances is what made the Obama campaign look so sharp by comparison.

Obama shot fish in a barrel.  Now he's the one in the barrel.

165 Random Observation:

Michelle Obama has had a lot of work done to become 'presentable'. Granted, it is cosmetic in nature, w/ lots of creative work being done.

She looked miserable during the campaign in 07-08, looked miserable in all the pics leading up to the campaign and now, all of sudden, she's the warmest, kindest first lady ever.

Whatever they're paying the make up people at the WH, at our expense, is worth it just to not have to look at pre campaign first lady.

I denounce myself for even taking the time to write this.

Other than speculating as to precisely what she did to make her stylists hate her so much to dress her how they do, that's a topic that I avoid. I would be truly shocked if she hasn't had some work done simply because she is in the demographic and income bands where that is more or less expected now.  

 

On the broader topic of plastic surgery and the like, I am all for getting work done.  What I do not comprehend is the botoxing your face into lifelessness.  Why?  The point of good plastic surgery is much like the point of well done makeup - it's to make you look like the best version of you that you can achieve.  Being expressionless and waxness is not attractive.

I think the talking heads are just getting caught up.  I think there's a lot of contempt in "Big Media" (which includes such worthies as Fox News and Rush and so forth) for the New Media.  So when something breaks on the blogs, they don't want to follow it (or admit to following it).

So, now, they're having to get caught up.  Unfortunately, our side has a habit of believing that when then MFM isn't reporting something, it's because they're not paying attention: it seems (from the talking points) that they (and the Democrats) were paying close attention, and were actively choosing not to report.

As for distinguishing the two, the guy who runs the Draw and Strike blog (also on twitter) has a good info-graphic.

200 InstaP:

"Just this week, the Chronicle of Higher Education issued the current figures on contributions...


...The ‘Change’ the reporters cite comes from the rise of for-profit institutions, which leaned heavily toward Romney, Full Sail University donating 93 percent to the Republicans candidates. Chalk that up as another reason to consider for-profit institutions a disruptive force in higher education."

I suppose this also explains the Obama AdministrationÂ’s hostility to for-profits.

203 It's a pretty fucking awful comment on the state of the average American and the media to think that we have to explain a fucking string of felonies as somehow bad.

And, yet, it's highly accurate.

204 David Myers, a former Worldcom executive who served 11 months in prison after being convicted of fraud, received a $7.5 million loan that was guaranteed by the federal government with money from the 2009 stimulus.

His loan was guaranteed as part of the USDA’s rural development program. “The borrower demonstrated strong repayment ability, sufficient security for the loan and the loan saved jobs and helped meet the tremendous need for health care in rural Mississippi,” the USDA told Bloomberg, which reported on the loan.

Myers was eligible to receive the loan because his felony conviction came more than two years ago. “I understand what the costs of my actions were to me personally, to my family, to the people that invested in WorldCom,” Myers told Bloomberg. “I can never allow something like that to ever happen again.”

205 >>Is it just me or do none of the female members of the obama family know how to dress properly?

Mooch's mother's dress seems pretty consistent with African-American women of her age.

I'm still trying to figure out why the oldest daughter was dressed like Single Female Lawyer last week.  Maybe her mother stole all her teenage-girl clothes.

The proud owner of a bottom so generous and rounded that it makes J-LoÂ’s look like a sad, deflated balloon.

A member of a family so unhinged and dysfunctional that, in comparison, the Osbournes seem well-adjusted, everyday folk. And a bride whose marriage was so short-lived that wedding guests were still digesting the cake when the divorce papers were filed.

Oh, disagree.  The makeup artists from Babylon 5 could do wondrous things.

221 THERE'S ONE VERY OBVIOUS reason that Democratic super PAC fund-raising is lagging, and it can be gleaned from a cursory glance at the Forbes 400. “We’re not as rich as they are. It’s that simple,” says John Morgan, a personal injury attorney from Florida whose firm gave Priorities $50,000 and whom I reached as he waited on the tarmac for a flight to the French Open. “We don’t have billionaires who are willing to spend ungodly sums of money,” adds the fund-raiser who met with Burton and Begala in Chicago. “All we can turn up are people who give $38,500”—the maximum donation allowed to the campaign and party committee combined—“and that’s to have dinner with Anna Wintour.”

The famous kissing scene between John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara is shown in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) when E.T. watches television. E.T. is interested and moved by the scene, his telepathic contact with Elliot causes the boy to re-enact it while he is at school.

225 Morning morons and moronettes! Just a quick update on my baby niece. She was born two weeks ago and was six weeks premature. Has a paralyzed swallow reflex and it's hindering breathing and eating. A specialist came in two days ago and recommended surgery. So on Monday they are doing three procedures: (1) a tracheotomy, (2) a Nissen fundoplication, to keep reflux from happening and getting stuck in her airways, and (3) a gastric feeding tube. No idea if this is permanent or if her swallow reflex will self correct. They basically have no idea why she can't swallow, which isn't exactly encouraging. So this is the solution for breathing and feeding her until they figure it out. Anyway, continued thoughts and prayers from the horde for her and her parents would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning, all!

 

I haven't had a chance to peruse the comments yet, so I'll just ask what y'all think about the Commerce Secretary's resignation (as also noted in the sidebar).   It seems a little... quick.   At least to me.  Gabrielle Giffords was far more incapacitated after the Tucson shooting, but she didn't retire from Congress for a year.    I'd say a Commerce Secretary who may or may not suffer seizures would be more reasonably expected to retain his job, provided he    hires a chaffeur and    is under a doctor's care.    Am I alone?

228 Wow Mandy P, prayers and well wishes.

229 You know what Republicans on the ground think when they look at Mitt Romney?

"Please don't blow it." They think President Obama can't win but Mr. Romney can still lose. So they're feeling burly but anxious, hopeful yet spooked.

They see Mr. Obama as surrounded by bad indicators—bad polls, bad economic numbers, scandals. They see a grubbiness in the administration now, a vacuity. When the White House sends out spokesmen to make the case for him on the Sunday morning shows, it's campaign operatives, like David Plouffe and David Axelrod. They more or less spin how he'll win. Where are the heavyweights, the cabinet secretaries, the great men and women of the Democratic Party? Hiding? Unable to make the case? Not trusted to make the case? Or are the political guys the only heavyweights in the administration?

I honestly, and I have her a lot in my 16 years as a prosecutor, I couldn’t believe the words coming out of her mouth. But keep in mind, Greta, this is the same woman who said she could have arrested Karl Rove any day she wanted.

248 Christof Heyns, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, summary or arbitrary executions, told a conference in Geneva that President ObamaÂ’s attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere, carried out by the CIA, would encourage other states to flout long-established human rights standards.

In his strongest critique so far of drone strikes, Heyns suggested some may even constitute “war crimes”. His comments come amid rising international unease over the surge in killings by remotely piloted unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Addressing the conference, which was organised by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a second UN rapporteur, Ben Emmerson QC, who monitors counter-terrorism, announced he would be prioritising inquiries into drone strikes.

The London-based barrister said the issue was moving rapidly up the international agenda after China and Russia this week jointly issued a statement at the UN Human Rights Council, backed by other countries, condemning drone attacks.

250 Posted by: MWR, Proud Tea(rrorist) Party Hobbit and ABO Supporter at June 22, 2012 09:20 AM (4df7R) This is going to sound horrible considering the circumstances, but honestly her parents are by far the least capable people on my husband's side of the family to deal with something like this, which has made a horrible situation exponentially worse. They are both basically adult children, emotionally. So it's been rough on the extended family just trying to help them with daily tasks and keep them calm. We're all trying to cut them a lot of slack considering the circumstances, but it's already resulted in one big blow up over the last weekend. I feel just terrible for them and for the baby. She's super tiny and I have no idea how someone that little is gonna handle surgery.

So, you take, you know, prominent, you know, black lawyer and you put him in charge of the Obama Justice Department and I think that’s, you know, to people who sort of traffic in that sort of thing, you know, it really is kind of a lightening rod.”

We buy a lot of clothes at Wal-Mart, and I haven't noticed that we'd have any problem buying suitable clothing for our children.  Make no mistake, those "people who don't have means" have choices- they choose to dress their children like "gangstas" and hookers.

Actually, as I've seen, it's harder to find appropriate clothing at slightly up-scale stores like JC Penny or Sears than at Wal-Mart or Target.

I think an enterprising Moron or Moronette who's handy with a needle and thread could make a nice little chunk of change starting a clothing line for young children    that DOESN"T make the girls look like whores.    It could be called     "Classy Girls Are Cool."

I love etsy.  I just   like to browse through and look at stuff people have made.   The creativity I see is heartwarming.

 

My problem with online clothes shopping is that you never know if what you'll    get is what what you were expecting.  When I was a kid my mother had a hell of a time finding clothes for me, because nothing ever fit right.  I was too tall, or my shoulders were too broad, or my feet were too big.   I went through the "awkward girl" phase pretty much from age ten to age eighteen.  I still have to be able to physically try on clothes before I buy them, because it may look perfect on the rack but when I try it on   I end up looking like a    crazy cat lady.   

 

And don't get me started on shoes.  OY.

 

So if I had kids I'd be leery about buying things online.      But then again, I don't have kids.   So   my trepidation is completely immaterial to the matter at hand.

"When asked why she is so confident the Supreme Court will uphold the
health care law, Pelosi says, "Because I know the Constitution."

 

In fact, Ms. Pelosi was working as a barmaid serving mead when the constitution was ratified.

 

"This bill is ironclad," she continued. "It is ironclad."

 

Perlosi went on to add, "Much like the Monitor and the Merrimack."

Little known fact- Pelosi served as a plucky cabin boy on the Monitor.

 

"Nobody was
frivolous with the Constitution and the health of the American people in
writing the bill,” she said."

 

Sure, not in WRITING it. But they sure got silly when it came time to READ it, now didn't they?

355 Botox Yes, when the economy was phat I was a a 1/32 membr of the botox tribe. They say you earn your winkles - well I have one between my brows that says "what the hell where you thinking!" Go figure. It is my opinion, based on the state of her forehead, brows and temples, FLOTUS is botoxed like a mutha. In addition, she had deep creases around her mouth, and I believe she has worshipped at the alter of Restalyn (a filler), although I never partook of that. Commerce Secretary - Crank thought of the day. He was a biggie in Brightsource. Brightsource was going to get a huge EPA loan until a WSJ article exposed it in May or June. Currently, the CEO of NRG, another energy company with DEEEPPP democratic roots is having to testify before the House. See, NRG has alot of green projects it was getting EPA loans for. One of the members of their board, a woman named McGinty, was getting confidential emails from EPA execs to get them a leg up on loans with the EPA, over their competition. Picking winners you see. Heritage has an article on it. The self dealing of government loans to donors and bundlers. The Commerce Secretary has the same problem. Good time for him to go lest people look any further into the corruption.

356 THE FORGOTTEN MAN

Shlaes wrote that FDR's 100 Days legislated legacy included HOOVER projects that Democrats blocked until FDR won.

I'm betting CCC was engineered by Hoover since the model resembled his many Herculean rescue achievements that brought about his landslide victory into Office. The business man engineer ready to regulate the economy (too much of a good thing) proved how interventionism is counterproductive.

FDR's baby was the NRA, National Recovery Administration, brutal authoritarianism.

Where Hoover maintained the integrity of the Constitution while inserting himself as the great regulator, by establishing the rationale for bigger is better "more efficient" government, Big Brother now dictates without any Constitutional Authority and without any opposition from itself. Every regulation that instituted Wilson's Federal Reserve and curbed it after the 1929 crash has been removed, leaving a growing monster with insatiable appetite feasting on disarmed US taxpayers.

Just as Obamarx is not content until all constitutional integrity is destroyed from America, the rotten Republican Leadership with Romney concede, anticipating their "turn" AGAIN with authoritarianism. "Kinder, gentler" authoritarianism -- Miss Me Yet?

Corruption needs a lack of integrity. To the extent that "honor" prevented Presidents of the United States from abusing their powers in office, those who held the office earned respect continuing the American Legacy. But now, politicians play tyrants with US taxpaying citizens as serfs, our only value being a commodity to trade.  We are all the Forgotten Man never given consideration, only used and abused by others. But where the original illustration comprised 1/3 as "the forgotten", today the majority are "the forgotten".

Ex: Romney accompanies the Republican Leadership rot bowing to Obama's executive ordered policy as LAW, despite all justice: "Dream Act". More serf tax payers. Now STFUGILAATP.

Oh good GRIEF.   No, I'm sorry.   If they had to wrangle that much to get the woman an all female crew, then your husband should have been allowed to do his own patient's c-section in the interim.   And there should be a clear policy in place that the patient's know and understand and agree to that personal preferences -- even those with a religious basis -- WILL be set aside in an emergency situation or when their care is interfering with the care of other patients.   That's just ridiculous.

359 I just came back from my sister's middle school graduation.  The usual refreshments of juice, soda, and cookies were replaced by water, fruit, and baked Lay's.  Damn you public health idiots!

360 There've already been a ton of ads in Ohio by both sides. The anti Bain Capital ones are hilariously bad, featuring two ugly, unemployable deadbeats whining about losing their jobs because of Mitt Romney and how out of touch with the middle class he is. It's like a caricature of Hollywood cocksuckers' concept of what "regular Americans" look like and anybody who's honestly out of work should be insulted by them.

365 Check the MIB 3 running time.  If its under 85 minutes that's usually a solid indicator of a stinker

366

mostly with steel bullets and tracer rounds I gather. Morons. Not in a good way.

 

You don't shoot steel bullets y-not.  Copper and/or lead.  Steel would damage the rifle. 

 Starting a fire with a rifle is no easy task...unless, of course, you are shooting tracer rounds. (which I don't know the appeal, availability, or legal status of).

370 Know something?  Everything that greg spits out is backwards.

  If (and that's a BIG if) any part of the Health Care Act is struck down Republicans won't be able control themselves like adults. They will behave in a most obnoxious way.
 
Pretty sure we will act like adults.  Gloating adults, but still adults,
 

When you combine that with the very unpopular witch hunt the House is conducting against Holder, and the GOP will drive away moderates in droves.
 
Moderates were largely unaware of fast and furious until now.  They will not like the idea of the US government supplying drug runners with weapons.
 

Obama holds a double digit lead over Romney in like ability, and will pick all of the moderates up. Romney will finish a distant second in November.
 
Somehow, I doubt that.

I haven't heard much at all about "MIB III," which tells me it's probably nothing to write home about.   But I haven't heard that it's the worst movie EVER, so there's that.

377 Good points about MiB. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer opens today in our area.

378 McClatchy reviews Disney's latest foray into animated princesses.


Emma Thompson and Kelly McDonald reunite in a story about a Scottish princess who has an evil mother forcing her to marry against her wishes, and gasp, wants her to act like a woman.


And all the brain dead author can think of for the evolution of Disney princesses is Little Mermaid??  That tells you his age.

Here's my take:

Disney started with a hawt brunette with an evil witch Queen mother who forced her to bunk with 7 dwarfs while singing like Jeanette MacDonald.

In the 50s the hawt princess image had morphed to a log haired blond beauty who sang like a classical opera mavin to the tune of Tchaikovsky while bunking with three "fairies".  The parents were not evil but only had a very short bit part.


Now we have a fiery ginger Robin Hood who transforms from a Welsh male to a Scottish female and the mother is a real "bear".


And it is no coincidence that the name of the movie is Brave, as in Braveheart.  Mel Gibson should sue.


Perhaps Disney should animtae them stripping the little princess and cutting her guts out in the final scene of the movie while screaming "freedom" from bear moms.


Once again old Walt is spinning in his grave.

400 Re: Brave- I want to see that one, too.  No, you may not have my man-card.

Re: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter: I cannot believe how many people are horrified at the idea of this movie.  They're complaining that the idea is "absurd" and such.

Well, duh.  The title: "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter," didn't clue you in?  It's supposed to be over-the-top and kind of silly.  Right up there with "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."

401 Federal prosecutors are seeking more than 12 years in prison for a Muslim convert from Brooklyn who pleaded guilty to posting online threats against the creators of the “South Park” television show.

Sentencing is scheduled Friday in Alexandria, Va., for Jesse Curtis Morton, who founded the now-defunct Revolution Muslim website. Earlier this year, he admitted using the site as an outlet for al-Qaida propaganda. He also conspired with another man to deliver a thinly veiled threat to the creators of the “South Park” television show for perceived insults to the prophet Muhammad.

Defense attorneys are asking for a prison term of less than five years.

The other defendant in the case, Zachary Chesser, got a 25-year sentence, but he also tried to travel to Somalia to join the al-Shabab militant group.

402 Curious about Utah law: "It is unlawful to fire any tracer or incendiary ammunition in the state of Utah except within the confines of an established military reservation." The fire we saw last night was west of us, in the mountains above Saratoga Springs. There's a military installation out that way, but I think it's a bit further north. http://publicsafety.utah.gov/bci/FirearmLaws.html

403 Tracer rounds are already banned by federal law.>>

I should look that up and see if it's just illegal to buy new or if they would expect me to get rid of the ones I have. But I probably wont.

404 It's like the people who complained that Snakes on a Plane wasn't good.

Of course it wasn't good!  It was a B-Grade flick that happened to land an A-Grade actor.  And said actor, reportedly, threatened to walk off the set if they tried to make the movie, you know, good or change the title.  The whole point was that it was supposed to be cheesy.

408 "Vegan" tick in central Virginia

Researchers from the University of Virginia say they've linked a sudden onset of meat allergies to the bite of the tick, which is formally named amblyomma americanum and is commonly found in Virginia. Experts say they've counted 1,000 cases so far, mostly located in central Virginia.

The most puzzling part of the sudden breakout of this specific allergy is the delayed reaction that people seem to have to the tick bite.

"You do not get hives until four hours, and you have no idea how strange that is for us as allergists," University of Virginia researcher Dr. Thomas Platts-Mills said. "It's a completely new form of food allergy in which you eat beef or pork or lamb, and three or four hours later, you develop hives."

While economists debate whether the massive outsourcing of American jobs over the last generation was inevitable, Romney in recent months has lamented the toll itÂ’s taken on the U.S. economy. He has repeatedly pledged he would protect American employment by getting tough on China.

He's 21, so if it doesn't have a bunch of tits and blood he probably didn't like it #296 - My mother did not let any of us daughters get our ears pierced while we lived at home. Said that only "gypsy tramps" had pierced ears. (She grew up in depression era) First week I was out of the house on my own, got my ears pierced. Had three holes in one ear and two in the other by the end of the first year, and that was back in the early 80's before multiple piercings were de rigor. That said, it is very hard to find appropriate clothes for girls these days. My 13 to turn 14 this weekend had to have two nice dresses for 8th grade graduation. (Don't get me start, WTF do they have an 8th grade graduation??) It was a struggle of epic proportions. Most of her classmates looked like they were trolling for business on the Riverwalk. One girl work five inch heels covered in rhinestones. Really mom?? These girls were 13, 14 and looked like 21 to 22 year olds. And their parents will wonder why their darlings are on birth control at age 15. Okay, rant off.

My mom also looked down on pierced ears, perhaps a bit less strenuously, but along those lines. IIRC, my sister got hers pierced when she was a senior in high school. I waited until I was in my 40s and my mom had been dead 10 years. I must have been the oldest lady to get her ears pierced at the Piercing Pagoda or wherever it was!
