22 Obama says he hasn't told enough stories, failing to make enough speeches.

Funny thing about the media broadcasters still pumping out his propaganda, their complicity has hurt their image to the point that they've lost their audience. But they still have their sponsors.

Good morning, Moron Horde. Today in 1923, the HOLLYWOOD sign was officially unveiled. Standing on a ledge at Mount Lee (north of Mulholland highway), and originally reading HOLLYWOODLAND, it was designed as an ad for a housing development in the area, with flashing lights spelling out HOLLY, WOOD and LAND. Built of wood and sheet metal, it was never meant to be permanent, but with the growth of the movie industry, the sign became an internationally recognized symbol. In 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce had the last four letters removed.

A target of vandals over the years, the sign is now protected 24/7 by motion sensors, electronic alarms and the LAPD, who will arrest and prosecute anyone attempting to reach the sign. It is only accessible by application to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, who control the sign's use and image.

In 1932, the sign was a location of tragedy when the body of actress Peg Entwistle was found in a ravine just below the sign. She was and is considered to have jumped to her death, although there are enough suspicious circumstances surrounding the story to have led some writers to believe she was murdered and brought to the sign in an attempt to disguise the crime.

The documentary filmmaker Hope Anderson (who lives in the former Hollywoodland development) has created a wonderful documentary about the sign and also chronicles the history of the area in her blog, Under The Hollywood Sign. Check it out.

I'm hung over, so no story today. Hope you all have a wonderful day and a great weekend.

27 You gotta love the WaPo. Give them four pompoms for keeping up their game.

They do one of their headlines with a question mark at the end, which is the same thing as saying something like, "when did you stop beating your wife?"

At the end, the final end, after which they have lost everyone in gobbledegook, they give the Obama campaign a bunch of pinocchios for calling Romney a lying criminal.

But they did their job. Associated Romney with lying and being a crook, in their clever headline.

37 #29 All of Ralph Lauren's clothing is made overseas. This is not news. He has been using Chinese factories since the 1980's. Anyone who knows anything about clothing knows this. The Olympic Committee should have known it as well. Lauren has done nothing wrong and methinks his biggest sin is that his son married Lauren Bush.

Lauren is providing the outfits at NO CHARGE. No taxpayer money was expended on them. If Harry Reid wants to get all upset about Chinese labor, he can burn some of those "green energy" contracts that went to China paid for by taxpayers. Or he can burn that big black CANADIAN bus that Obama tools around in.

The Olympic clothing controversy is a FAKE controversy to distract from Obama's record and to allow Harry Reid and other lefties to bluster and act patriotic. Since he hasn't objected to the numerous Chinese items purchased by the government, this story should be ignored as nothing but bluster and posing.

38 The "made in China" uniforms our athletes will be wearing to the Olympics is just one more thing to add to the ever expanding list of reasons to be disgusted with the whole Olympic charade.

So they ran a re-run from 1993 and called it news? OK. If, in 1999 you asked me, with absolutely no intel or law enforcement background, to pick 2-3 potential terrorist targets in the U.S. - WTC would have been one of them. So they're not exactly prescient. They've been more wrong than right over the last 10 years+.

That doesn't mean they never get anything right though, blind squirrel, nut, and all that.

I figure I'll live up to my Republican stereotype and go push an old woman off a cliff, force someone to have a baby and forceably steal a college girl's birth control pills. If I'm feeling extra frisky, I might even do something racist, like say I don't agree with Obama's policies.

42 #39 I assume you own no clothing made in China. Or shoes. Yes, I wish that the textile and clothing industries hadn't been forced out of the United States by unions, EPA regulations, and other competitive forces, but it is not the fault of the Olympic Committee or Ralph Lauren.

54 >> made the Olympic uniforms.

And they're really fucking expensive. Can't find the link, but the socks were like fifty and the skirts were nearly five hundred. American dressmakers wouldn't charge that much (they weren't "provided free of charge"--the corporations that fund the Olympic teams paid for them.)

I bet they're polyester, too. Blecch.

55 What I really want to know is if they're at all customized fits...you've got some really huge women on the basketball and weight-lifting teams, and the gymnasts stop growing at age 11 or 12...I'm sure they have all kinds of problems finding clothes that fit off the rack normally, but that bl*zer is going to look even worse if it's too tight or too baggy.

58 The Olympic Uniform process was outsourced. When you outsource you lose control over much of the process. It's really not that big of a deal. Yeah it sucks, but welcome to the new world.

I couldn't care less where the clothes are made. I just care that they are so stupid looking. Ralph Lauren isn't doing this out of the goodness of his heart, he's doing it because it's good for his business.

93 Harry Reid, born December 2, 1939, has had ample opportunity to serve his country (rather than himself) in our Military (even in law) during any of the many US wars since Korea. Where was Reid's patriotism during Vietnam? Let him produce his pro-American, pro-Military speeches fighting against the "Baby Killer" MSM hippy mantra. What was Reid doing for our returning Veterans when they were being spit upon in public and shunned by employers?

No doubt he, with every politician, votes for military benefits. But were Reid's record commendable beyond the norm, he'd be trumping his excellence.

There's nothing wrong with pursuing his education and starting a family, and going into politics. But none of that was for anyone but himself to gain access to graft from tax payers, just like Obama.

94 Ok Heather, this part of that article made my mouth go to Defcon five in an effort not to blow coffee all over my laptop-

>>>At the Olympic Trials she lifted 110 kilos (242.5 pounds) in the snatch...

95 101 /thought I read "burning".

Post-Colonial Empire Britain has its fill with Argentina v. Falklands, so post mortum Che's "kill whitey" Pan-South-America mantra hits London personally.

But are the British banning Muslim Brotherhood "Arab Spring" T-Shirts from their Games?

96 This morning on NPR, they were offering some unsolicited advice to the new Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi. Emulate Obama, they said, blame Mubarak.

99 Friday the thirteenth works pretty well for me. First of all, Credence Clearwater Revival is performing tonight at a local county fair. Plus, IT'S RAINING!

My husband is a minister. (I have a point here, I promise) And people often tell him he should tell more stories during his sermons. Personally, I have little use for preachers who are habitual stor ytellers. Everything is a story. I actually detest a lot of stories in a sermon/speech. I'm not here to be entertained. If I want entertainment, I'll go to the local theater and watch Abraham Lincoln; Vampire Hunter. I listen to sermons/speeches to be informed.

Obama, you can stick your stories where the sun don't shine. Do your job, you bozo. Nobody cares about your worthless stories.

101 13 is my lucky number. Funny story: when I went to a testing center to take my nursing board exam, they had sixteen seats numbered 1-10, 11, 12a, 12b, 14, 15, and 16. I told them I wanted to sit in seat 13, and they said they didn't have one. I said, "You're not fooling me. Gimmie seat 12b!"

102 38 The Olympic clothing controversy is a FAKE controversy...

Doesn't change the fact that the berets are lame.

103 Beck is begging Romney that the VP pick NOT be Tim Pawlenty. Oh I agree, I agree.

Amazing haven't listened to Beck for weeks and he sounds the same..

104 #111 The berets are there so that Lauren can sell copies in his stores. The beret-style knit hats he did a couple of years ago for the Winter Olympics were sell-outs in all of his stores and were resold on eBay for hundreds of dollars.

I would prefer fedoras or driving caps myself, if they didn't go with cowboy hats. However, the design concept was, I am sure, motivated by profit, which is good old capitalism. You can sell berets to women, fedoras, not so much.

105 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

106 OK, I just saw the Lauren US Olympic uniforms.

The blue jackets, white pants, red/white/blue scarfs are retro American Airlines flight attendant uniforms. Nothing startling.

And the bonnets, well, they are what they are. Berets, marketable cosmopolitan attire.

The hoopla from Congressmen to burn the "Made in China" uniforms is too little outrage, far too late. As if their interest in US Olympic Uniform manufacturing shouldn't have been at task prior to contract to produce, most particularly prior to the catwalk public exposition for Team Spirit on media display.
