Oh please give me a damn break with the two President Obama’s cabinet picks, Daschle and Geithner, didn’t pay their taxes. Which idiot thinks tax rules apply the same across the board? I have to be honest, thank goodness it wasn’t Eric Holder because his ass would have been out. Never mind no one gives a shit since we all secretly wish we could get away with not paying our taxes.
No for the last three days I have had to listen to this shit like it was a real crime. Now they are taking surveys, which no doubt the wing nuts will be voicing their outrage. Let’s not even pretend that the wing nut tribe is the first bunch of nuts to battle the government over taxes and pretend they are really feeling outrage over that little fact.
Can we get just a little break from the liberal media with this bull shit? If they are liberal can we please get those bitches to be wing nuts? How long will we have to listen to this latest bull shit? Like Blago will it go on for months? My God Bush and his crew were real criminals and I need to listen to news about somebody that owed taxes and paid them? Can we say fuck the bull shit?
I have been listening to Mika of Morning Joe make justification after justification for the GOP voting against the stimulus. She is so understanding since she too see that there was no reaching across the aisle.
Excuse me, after 8 years of bullshit someone needs to reach out for more bullshit? What the hell is wrong with these people? They are so knee deep in their ideology that they would have us drown in the cesspool they created just to prove a point? Which will only, forever, remind us that they created this mess we currently call our economic melt down? I am not going to even pretend let the past be the past. I am tire of listening to the people who did nothing for the past 8 years cry, whine, beg and plead that they now have a fucking idea. Excuse me, while I not listen to your shit. Can we say 8 years too late for me to believe any republican have even a small clue, much less a real idea.
Way to go Mika. Let’s keep stupid alive and well and forever growing in the republican party.
Maybe that was not politically correct. Let me say it another way. Kristol has relocated to the Washington Post. I’m sure it was time for him to move on and it had nothing to do with any of his wrong prediction, factual errors or his non-stop praise of the Bush administration.
Personally, I don’t care why he’s gone. I’m just glad he’s gone. Now when I pick up a paper in my home state I will no longer be blessed with one of his articles going on and on about nonsense.
I remember when Kristol was asked back in November, if his contract would be renewed. Kristol more or less say we would have to wait and see. Well we waited and now we can see what happened.
Crooks and Liars has a post up relating a story that is so sick that it could make a person puke. Read on.
A man accused of a horrific rape and killing spree told investigators that he was “fighting extinction” of the white race and had stockpiled 200 rounds of ammunition to “kill ‘nonwhite people’ such as African Americans, Hispanics and Jewish people,” according to a police report filed today in court.
After forcing his way into a home and raping a 22-year-old woman, the alleged assailant, Keith Luke, shot and killed the woman’s younger sister, who tried to help her. Luke, 22, then allegedly turned his fury back on the rape victim, firing his gun through a white teddy bear that she clutched in terror, police said.
Down the street, Luke allegedly opened fire and killed a homeless man who happened by pushing a shopping cart. He told police after his arrest that he had planned to go to a synagogue near his home and, “kill as many Jews as possible during bingo night,” according to the report. “Luke told us that he intended to shoot himself in the head when he was through.”
Rabbi Joshua Cohen of Temple Beth Emunah, a Conservative synagogue in the neighborhood where Luke lives, said a Massachusetts state trooper and Brockton police officer told him this morning that Luke evidently had planned to continue his rampage at the temple. The synagogue has a bingo night Wednesday starting at 6:30 p.m.
Cohen said he has never heard of Luke and believes the man had randomly decided to target the synagogue. Investigators told Cohen that Luke was acting alone.
“Through hard work and a lot of luck, the police were able to apprehend him before he was able to inflict more damage and more death and destruction,” Cohen said. “As much as we like to think we’ve moved forward in our society and culture, hate and racism still exist, and it’s really unfortunate.”
On Wednesday, Luke allegedly fired at police as he was pursued in his van across Brockton, a chase that ended in a crash at East Ashland and North Quincy streets. Sitting in the back of the squad car, he muttered unintelligibly, according to the report, about “the Zionist occupation” and about how, “I was supposed to be executed today.”
Its official, the wing nut tribe has lost their damn minds What the hell is wrong with those people? Do they see ghost too as well as UFOs on a regular basis? Now they are, once again, on the campaign trail of attempting to focus our attention on the donut industry. It seems that Krispy Kreme, in honor of the Inauguration, have come out with a promotion called the “Freedom of Choice” free donut day. What does the wing nut tribe attribute that message to? Freaking abortion!
Celebrating his inauguration with “Freedom of Choice” doughnuts – only two days before the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision to decriminalize abortion – is not only extremely tacky, it’s disrespectful and insensitive and makes a mockery of a national tragedy.
Now we should start looking for conspiracies every where? That’s what you can surmise from the American Life League who would just would love to really be in all our bedrooms (during sexual intercourse, of course) assessing whether are not we get pregnant and whatching to see if we exercise our right to freedom of choice.
Where the hell was these people’s paranoia when Bush was running our country into the ground and destroying our nation? While we are all sinking in debt, job loss, home loss and just being in a bad place they really think this is a topic of interest? WTF?
Didn’t they get the message after the donut-scarf episode? What next? We depict the donut industry as the next terrorist group out to destroy the moral fiber of our nation?
Now that I am involved in writing post for other sites there will be a slow down at my site. I will make short post and sometimes just a few post. But I am currently involved in three sites, work full time and have two children. I girls got to get her sleep sometimes. I will always try to post at least 1 or 2 post per night. That’s a far cry from the 8 to 14 post I use to post.
Yet, it is about growth and one of the new sites I am posting at I am part of the development of the site and that is very exciting. I will be posting when that site will finally be redesigned within the coming weeks.
Thanks everyone for your readership and tolerance for my rants, raves, and mush.
As we all prepare for the new year, I thought I would take a moment to look back on 2008. It was a year where I made some very awesome friends (and probably enemies), that would be you the reader. I forged alliance at work that are very dear. I was introduced to some wonderful blog sites. I watched both my daughters graduate. One from High School and the other from Grade School. I got to experience one of my daughters going to college and all the financial agony that comes with that bold move.
I’ve had times where I went on a rampage and got to rant with complete joy and bliss. I got to watch our current crop of politicians continuously remind me why I don’t trust them with their lying azzes.
The best fun of all was campaigning for President Obama and watching him win. I will remember 2008. It was the year that the people won and the collapse of the economy was the collapse of the GOP ideology.
Okay tonight’s selection is me showing my Christian side. I really loved this song and found it inspirational and uplifting, as well as hot and current with today’s generation. It is also absent of all hate. God in this song is just someone that loves us without conditions. Amazing, we do not have to be racist or bigots to be loved. That’s a God I can get down with. I hope you all enjoy it as well. Good night
I thought to end the night I would report non-news that still slightly irritate me. Why? Bristol’s mother won conservative of the year award for her American values! Trust me this having nothing to do with an underage person having a baby. In America? So what. I really hope Bristol and and her baby are doing fine and congrats. Having babies is hard work.
I digress, It’s being reported that Bristol Palin gave birth to a son who weighted 7 pounds 4 ozs.
We think it’s wonderful,” said Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol’s grandmother Sally Heath, who confirmed the news. “The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited.”
The baby’s name is Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, according to Jones.
And so the issue of birth control still is not a topic of discussion while uneducated teens have babies.
Bristol is taking correspondence courses to obtain her high school diploma. The couple has been together for three years. [Read full post here]
You know what? I’ll stick with my mom’s values. She had a problem with me be uneducated as a young adult and not having protection. Guess what? It worked. My mom is very religious and certain conversations are taboo. I can not dare speak about prayer being removed from public schools with out setting her off. But, she was a realist and did not cater to absolute stupid.
Teenagers who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are just as likely to have premarital sex as those who do not promise abstinence and are significantly less likely to use condoms and other forms of birth control when they do, according to a study released today.
The new analysis of data from a large federal survey found that more than half of youths became sexually active before marriage regardless of whether they had taken a “virginity pledge,” but that the percentage who took precautions against pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases was 10 points lower for pledgers than for non-pledgers. [Read full post here]
I am so glad that I do not cater to the pledge of ridiculous that is currently having no impact what so ever on curbing teenage pregnancies. Yes, I am one of those bold moms that believe in protecting their daughters from STDs and AIDs/HIV, as well as unwanted pregnancies. I speak freely about birth control. My problem is that I am not adjusting to the whole concept that its okay if you are a conservative to allow your child to be so ignorant about protecting her/his self.
Forgive me for being a real mom with real American values (non-BS-conservative current values). Pro-life only works if you are prepared to make sure life is created from real choice and not ignorance!
Heads up time. I am now also writing for www.SheerProgress.com. Right now I am cross posting but starting in the new year I will only be posting original post at their site. Its a wonderful site and have some very awesome writers. Give them a check and you’re pretty much guaranteed a good read.
This story caught my attention because of the person’s age and the brutality of the crime. It’s being reported that a 15 year old, Sharell Butler of the Bronx, NY, is being held and charged for 2 separate murders.
Sharell Butler
A 15-year-old girl has been arrested in the stabbing of a man whose dismembered body was found stuffed in a garbage bag in the Bronx – and in a second unrelated murder.
Baby-faced Sharell Butler, known by pals as “Lady Red,” was charged with murder, manslaughter and assault in the death of John Hopkins Drago, the adopted Russian son of a Bronx family.
Butler, of the Bronx, was also charged with second-degree murder and robbery in a Dec. 19 home invasion that led to the fatal shooting of a Throgs Neck man whom she and another suspect had intended to rob. [Read the full article here]
Of course we must operate under the premise of innocent until proven guilty, but if any of it is true, how depraved. Her father is claiming she is innocent. Most parents do make that claim.
The news is reporting that Sharell is known as Lady Red on the street and is apart of the notorious gang known as the Bloods. Where that information came from is not being reported. Of course being objective I can not put too much faith in unsubstantiated speculation. The people in her neighborhood do not believe she could have committed those crimes.
Residents of Butler’s apartment building in Morris Park were stunned at the news that the seemingly friendly teenager was responsible for two cold-blooded murders.
“She’s a good kid,” said one woman who refused to give her name. “I don’t think she could do that.”
“She plays with my grandkids,” the woman said. “She’s like my granddaughter.”
Of course no one really knows what another person is capable of until after something has happened and is proved. Equally, since I live in New York, our police force is known for locking innocent people up based off of part laziness, sloppiness and a certain amount of bias towards a particular race.
I will be watching this story for its shock value alone. I am fully aware that a 15 year old can commit some of the most hideous crimes absence any remorse, but until there is more substantiated information given by our police department on how this young lady is connected, I think I’ll stay with being undecided for now.
Here’s a little Bible study that is worth listening to. I just love it when I get my dose of scriptures mix in with the comments. Please know that I find the bulk of them to be false and just another way to spread hate based off of bigoted opinion.
That there are people out there pretending they are living the christian way is what makes the scripture quoting even more comical for me. If some of those same people were really trying to live a Godly life then what happened to the part where they give up all their worldly goods to follow Jesus?
I’m sure if they looked hard enough they’d find a verse in the Bible where quoting scripture to get across bigoted ideas is all that there God required.
All day long I have been listening to the media’s hot topic — Blago wants Obama and others to testify. Talk about a dead fish. I can understand reporting this especially since anything and everything about President Obama makes it to the plate of must see TV. But the hype behind it seems just a tad exaggerated. They had every pundit weighting in on what they think it all means.
Honestly, it means a desperate man is looking for a life line.
State Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie told The Associated Press on Thursday that the House committee received a letter from Blagojevich attorney Ed Genson asking it to subpoena Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett and more than a dozen others, including Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
Currie, the head of the committee, said she didn’t yet know what the committee’s response to Genson’s request would be.
However, she noted that the U.S. Attorney’s office has already denied the panel’s request to interview a list of people named in the criminal complaint against Blagojevich.
I find the real scandal is the media’s need to bleed this subject. Do they really think that the public who gave President Obama 70+ approval rating is really listening to this crap (exception to the wing nut tribe)? Mean time back in the land of reality stories such as Bristol Palin’s future mother-in-law got no play.
WASILLA, Alaska — The mother of Bristol Palin’s boyfriend sent text messages discussing drug transactions less than a month after the young woman’s mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was nominated as the Republican vice presidential candidate, according to court documents filed this week.
Just how long does it take to recognize the gold fish is dead and flush it down the toilet?
I find the whole Sarah Palin episode ironic at best. Sarah Palin is the conservatives best hope? She’s the model that represents good American values. Really?
Let’s re-examine that premise. I have an 18 year old that managed to finish high school and start college. Guess what? She did that without getting knocked up. But since I’m not a conservative my values are not all that good? Let’s see, my daughter has a boy friend who’s parent has never been busted for selling drugs or any other illegal act. Perhaps my standards are a tad higher then good American values? I have an expense account at work that I have never abused. Not so Sarah. She’s been beating her state out of money for years (can we say per diem).
When did our values sink so low that the worst of them are touted as a success story? Is the only real conservative value really just being for pro-life and picking up a Bible? As long as you do that your spouse can be part of a secessionist group? You can be part of a church that prays over you to protect you from witches?
WTF! Are these people crazy? When did being divisive become a stellar quality? The fact that Sarah put her self on display and showed the world she lacked any depth of character or ability to speak in English is not something to be proud of, much less equate with good American value. Yet, you have idiot people telling me I’m being sexist? I do not believe it is sexist to acknowledge that Sarah is hopeless and damn well doesn’t represent my sex in any light, much less good American values. Let me put it bluntly, I support women just not idiots.
I think I’ll continue to be a liberal and stay far far away from conservatives and their good American values. Now bite me.
Granted, we do have some beautiful scenic sites in our country. They are magnificent and majesty to be hold. Yet, we also have azz wipes like Hannity, Rove, Rush and others telling us that investing in our infrastructure is a waste of money.
No offense to the walking and talking jerks of our time, but I’d liked to ride a train that spent less time derailing and that actually had some speed. About a little more than a year ago it rained in NY. It was a deluge of rain and guess what? It shut down mass transit in NY completely for half a day! In fact that is a common occurrence in NY. It can be rain or snow and our mass transit tanks. I won’t even speak of the countless times subway escalators have been broke. Every time I take the D train, which uses one of our major bridges to get from one borough to the other, I pray that the damn thing (bridge) doesn’t collapse.
I find no offense in America building green for our living in the 21st century. What’s wrong with schools being upgraded? What’s wrong with better bridges and roads? What’s wrong with updating our technology? In fact, what the hell is wrong with us living in the 21st century? Just like black and white TVs are a thing of the past, so is outdated plumbing, roads, bridges, transportation and technology.
While the likes of Rove was busy wasting our country’s money on a pointless war and aiding in bankrupting a nation, our bridges were collapsing, levees breaking, gas pipes rupturing and building crumbling which only added to needless deaths throughout our country.
It is very much time for us to update our country and join other countries that have done so:
I stood on a rocky hilltop overlooking the South China Sea and talked to my wife back in Maryland, static-free, using a friend’s Chinese cellphone. A few hours later, I took off from Hong Kong’s ultramodern airport after riding out there from downtown on a sleek high-speed train — with wireless connectivity that was so good I was able to surf the Web the whole way on my laptop.
Landing at Kennedy Airport from Hong Kong was, as I’ve argued before, like going from the Jetsons to the Flintstones.
After 2 years of non-stop President Obama news all other news pales in his absence. What’s the media to do? Well that’s easy. They follow him on his vacation and take meaningless pictures.
That should set our economic worried minds at ease. Nothing like seeing your new president looking hot! Let’s forget that some of us are starving literally, need a job, can’t pay our bills or are in need of a bailout to stay in our homes. The media can neglect those tidbits with the more important news of President Obama’s (well deserved) down time.
As some of you know, recently Tom of “The Internet Post,” and I have teamed up to write a few joint articles which have been featured on my site.
That joint venture went so successfully that we decided to open a joint blog site. Right now it will be weekly with hopes of growing to a daily reporting site in the foreseeable future. We have hopes of concentrating on all types of news that is not limited to just politics.
Please enjoy reading our first joint article at our new site: Last Post of Sanity.
I am so tired of the haters of everyone’s freedom (exception to criminals). Why won’t these people just die? I am sick of their objections. Who the hell appointed them as the overseers of our lives? A bunch of sexual frustrated perverts if you ask me.
Now we have a bunch of fruit loops, sponsors of Proposition 8, asking for the gay marriages be overturned by the courts in California. Worst, they think that have a case!
The Yes on 8 campaign filed a brief arguing that because the new law holds that only marriages between a man and a woman are recognized or valid in California, the state can no longer recognize the existing same-sex unions. The document reveals for the first time that opponents of same-sex marriage will fight in court to undo those unions that already exist.
These are the Bush supporters that would rather see our country sunk into the depths of hell (currently almost there) then admit their premise is wrong and failing. They pedal their self righteousness like it was a tangible thing to be touched and felt. I bet plenty of them that have died are passing out marshmallows since the fires are constant where they are.
The campaign submitted the document in response to three lawsuits seeking to invalidate Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment adopted last month that overruled the court’s decision in May that had legalized gay marriage in the nation’s most populous state.
Either we have a constitution or not. No amount of Bible thumping should change the fact that we should all be afforded equal rights. What’s laughable is that once again the righteous right has dug up Kenneth Starr –former independent counsel who investigated President Bill Clinton — to participant in righting this supposed wrong.
The flip side of this story is that now California’s attorney general, Jerry Brown, has reversed himself and now is fighting for equal rights for gays.
In a dramatic reversal, Attorney General Jerry Brownfiled a legal brief saying the measure that amended the California Constitutionto limit marriage to a man and a woman is itself unconstitutional because it deprives a minority group of a fundamental right.
I can only say I’m happy he finally saw the light and decided to actually read the constitution which most of the righteous refuse to do.
It became evident that the Article 1 provision guaranteeing basic liberty, which includes the right to marry, took precedence over the initiative,” he said in an interview Friday night. “Based on my duty to defend the law and the entire Constitution, I concluded the court should protect the right to marry even in the face of the 52 percent vote.
I think its time that we took back our country from the corrupt righteous right wing bigot idiots. Who either by stupidity, ignorance, or plain lack of education have decided that reading the bible looking for dirt is the only way to govern people’s lives. I’m sure Hitler had a dream as well and thought he was right in wanting to cleanse his nation of Jews. But we all know he was wrong and his methods were even worst than wrong.
I have a friend who is Belgian and she loves to tell me how every year she drives through America. What’s funny is how she tries to warm me about the back roads and to be careful. They have some real racist in those corners she tells me.
Wait..what? I have no intention of knowing first hand just how racist America can really be. I am not from the Bahamas but from here and have no intention of being a statistic. I’m also a New Yorker and know damn well I could never play meek and be quite.
Unlike President Obama that has more faith than me, I could never invite a jerk like Rick Warren to anything, unless it concerned poison and death, preferably his. Therefore, don’t look for me to ever offer candid shots from across America where I went on some discovery trip.
Don’t get me wrong, I do travel. I just don’t do so much traveling within my own country. I’ve gone to places like California, San Francisco, Utah, New Orleans, Washington, etc., etc. in the United States. Please notice, I tend to go to places that are not really located on the back roads and I make sure I get there via a damn plane thank you.
I love my country but I do not trust my country with my life. There was a time I did in all my stupid arrogance believe that America took care of its own no matter where you were. Stupidity, priceless. Boy did Bush cure my dumbness. In America, until the economy had a melt down, it was all about the dollar. Who had wealth determined who America loved and would help.
I’m glad Bush’s time is over and the republicans are in disarray. I think its time for the people who make up most of America to have their time to rule. I don’t think of President Obama’s win as a democratic win. I think of it in terms of the people’s win. Who knows, maybe one day I will be able to travel the back road without fear.
Maybe that was not politically correct. Let me say it another way. Kristol has relocated to the Washington Post. I’m sure it was time for him to move on and it had nothing to do with any of his wrong prediction, factual errors or his non-stop praise of the Bush administration.
