Sometimes it can be difficult picking out a Mother’s Day gift. After all, what do you get for that woman who gave up a part of her life so that you could have yours? Unplanned Parenthood is the Amazon.com of great Mother’s Day ideas (vacuum wand to MM):
With Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business, has a message for moms: send us more money. Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, sent out a fund-raising request this week one pro-life advocate says is grotesque.
Richards honored Mother’s Day by sharing part of an editorial her daughter wrote saying she got her pro-abortion views from her mother and grandmother, former Texas Gov. Ann Richards.
“It’s true that I have had lots of rewarding moments in my career. So did my mother,” Cecile wrote in the email LifeNews.com obtained. “But knowing that my daughter is carrying on the legacy of fighting that my mother passed to me trumps ‘em all.”
If you really want to honor the legacy of your pro-abortion views why don’t you give your daughter a pass and tell her not to call you on Mother’s Day? Nothing would be a greater symbol of your accomplishments than a mother sitting by a phone on Mother’s Day that’s never going to ring.
I was terribly cruel and insensitive to the plight of what remains of the Burmese people earlier this week by intimating that Queen Laura should quit begging the Myanmar junta to steal our tax money intended for the poor and needy (as our voracious Imperialist Hegemonic Empire is wont to do).
Myanmar’s junta seized U.N. aid shipments headed for hungry and homeless survivors of last week’s devastating cyclone, prompting the world body to suspend further help on Friday. The U.N. said the aid included 38 tons of high-energy biscuits and arrived in Myanmar on Friday on two flights from Bangladesh and the United Arab Emirates.
“All of the food aid and equipment that we managed to get in has been confiscated,” U.N. World Food Program spokesman Paul Risley said. “For the time being, we have no choice but to end further efforts to bring critical needed food aid into Myanmar at this time.”
Didn’t see that coming. I believe a strongly written letter from the U.N. to the Myanmar gestapo is in order. Get to writing! Perhaps you could get the international relief juices flowing by throwing in a gratuitous condemnation of Israel as a rider to your correspondence.
While you get to stroke your diplomatic clitoris, all those people at first only victimized by an oppressive regime and then betrayed by the two-timing whore of Mother Nature get to die.
My guess is that the garden is hanging a little bit lower than last year and how this escaped White Trash Wednesday, I’ll never know. The inspirational tale of one woman determined to re-populate the Earth with nothing but bare feet, gingham, the J-section of a baby’s name catalog, and a steel belted uterus:
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It’s a happy Mother’s Day for an Arkansas woman — she’s pregnant with her 18th child.
Michelle Duggar, 41, is due on New Year’s Day, and the latest addition will join seven sisters and 10 brothers. There are two sets of twins.
18 kids. I’ve been having trouble with Mrs. McMurphy walking the dogs.
The new show looks at life inside the Duggar home, where chores — or “jurisdictions” — are assigned to each child. One episode of the new show involves a “jurisdiction swap,” where the boys do chores traditionally assigned to the girls, and vice versa, Duggar said.
This glowing homage to the strong Protestant work ethic of Mrs. Duggar’s olympic quality cooter fails to mention the violent Teamsters strike where ovum organized to block the entrance to her fallopian tubes during a 1997 bid for more vacation time and a 12 hour work day. Or the strategic threat to our national security as her dilated cervix is turning out a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude.
This just brought a smile to my face. State prosecutors have decided to re-try death row inmate Paul House for the 22 year-old murder that he was originally convicted after an intentionally misrepresented Supreme Court ruling gave anti-death penalty activists the chance to let him loose. Killing babies and freeing murderers. Another sash in life’s rich pageant for our commie brethren:
Union County District Attorney General William Paul Phillips has 180 days from Monday to retry House, who has been in prison for more than 20 years. Phillips says he has enough evidence to try the case again and intends to handle the prosecution himself.
The grave defilers have been cheering a splintered 5-3 court decision that only said new DNA might cause a juror to have doubts. At issue is that House raped Carolyn Muncey before killing her. The DNA evidence indicates that semen found on her person belonged to her husband. This theory was not exactly a stretch to come up with at the time since Paul House was on parole for raping two women in Utah and was caught by the police on the roof of a third! Facts that are conveniently left out of the pre-determined narrative of this Innocent Man.
This is their hero. A career rapist. While new evidence may exonerate House for the rape charge, it does not conclude that he did not kill her or attempt to rape her. House was not convicted of rape. It was only used as an aggravating factor in seeking the death penalty. Naturally, his supporters cheerfully continue to exaggerate the Court’s finding that a “reasonable juror could have reasonable doubts” to mean “innocent of all charges”.
It’s not an easy case. House was placed at the scene. His girlfriend at the time busted his alibi of being at her home all night and told police that on the night of the murder that he left and later returned with bruises, scratch marks, and shirtless. Other eyewitnesses spotted him crawling out of a wooded area near the creek where Muncey’s body was found. Muncey’s then 10-year old daughter said a man was calling out to her from the street to come see where her husband’s car had crashed (which hadn’t) in the creek bed.
There are no clear “good guys” here. Only different shades of “bad guys” as Muncey’s spouse was not exactly in the running for a “World’s #1 Husband” mug.
The suddenly fiscally responsible Friends of Felons Support League is decrying the cost of the new trial that they are responsible for foisting on the taxpayers:
Kissinger said the trial would cost more than $100,000.
“You really have to be mystified, perplexed about that decision,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense. How can you justify that kind of money when you have the Supreme Court’s decision?
Indeed. How can we justify our wasteful appeals process? Bunch of tightwads. When was the last time you heard a Defense Attorney say that you should deny justice because it costs too much?
Sorry kids. House should have been executed long before he ever arrived in Tennessee and murdered Carolyn Muncey. Unfortunately, our current anti-justice activists’ predecessors in Utah were already scrawling their appeals on the bruised bodies of rape victims long before House made Tennessee a home.
Even if justice was deferred in Utah it is not being denied now regardless of the new evidence.
While the USS Cole bombers are all free in Yemen, my friend the Yemeni journalist Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani will be sentenced May 21 in a bogus trial and likely will get the death penalty or a long prison term. He is charged with insulting the president and demoralizing the military with an article about the Sa’ada war. He is an internationally renowned journalist and one of Yemen’s most prominent and outspoken democracy advocates
This is the guy I made the online petition for in March 2005 and the bloggers all helped and he got amnesty. Since then he and I have become good friends. He loves democracy as much as I do. And he’s paid the price for it. Since he was released in 2005, Al-Khaiwani has been beaten, kidnapped, censored and imprisoned. His paper was cloned, his website blocked and his children threatened.
Al-Khaiwani was badly beaten during his arrest in June 2007. His daughter, six year old Ebba, was slapped by police so hard that she fell unconscious. After Al-Khaiwani’s arrest and release on bail, he was kidnapped and badly beaten again. The US State Department issued a statement from DC noting his abduction pointed to, “disturbing trend of intimidation and harassment of Yemen’s journalist community.”
“And as we’re talking today, Terry, the death count in Myanmar from the cyclone that hit there yesterday has been rising from 15,000 to way on up there to much higher numbers now being speculated,” Gore said. “And last year a catastrophic storm from last fall hit Bangladesh. The year before, the strongest cyclone in more than 50 years hit China - and we’re seeing consequences that scientists have long predicted might be associated with continued global warming.”
Replace “scientists” with “god” and replace “global warming” with “sin”.
Congratulations, Al. You are officially the Jerry Falwell of Global Warming and The Jeremiah Wright of Eco-Fascism. Let the bodies of Burmese dead be the sword you slay the blaspheming Gaia Denialists.
“I’m worried that they won’t even accept U.S. aid.”
You take my tax money and promise not to divert those funds to enrich your cronies and military junta this instant.
I suppose there are worse things to worry about than countries rejecting our aid but I prefer that to the obscene funding of ungrateful piglets suckling at the largesse of our national teat and then badmouthing us.
Don’t just give our money away - buy something with it. Like loyalty.
May 4, 2008 — The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s loose cannon of a spiritual adviser, stole the wife of a parishioner - after the man sought Wright’s help in saving his troubled marriage, the former husband told friends.
[...]
Asked if Wright broke up his marriage, Reed laughed, then said, “I told my kids I wouldn’t say anything to hurt their stepfather, so I’m not saying anything.”
Broken Commandment Watch might have to be an ongoing series.
1. I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. ***Broken***
2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. ***Broken***
3. Remember thou keep the Sabbath Day.
4. Honor thy Father and thy Mother. ***Broken****
5. Thou shalt not kill.
6. Thou shalt not commit adultery. ***Broken***
7. Thou shalt not steal. ***Broken***
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. ***Broken***
9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife. ***Broken****
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods. ***Broken***
Eh, two to go. The campaign is young. Say again, is this a church or the Devil’s support group?
“Jeremiah knew all the weaknesses of the couple, and he started focusing on the wife, her vulnerabilities, and started doing things she wanted Delmer to do - spending time with her, taking her to the movies, that sort of thing,” said Davis, who heads the Chicago branch of football great Jim Brown’s Amer-I-can youth program.
“Everybody knew Jeremiah took the man’s wife,” said Davis. “It was common knowledge.”
“I’m Tom Hanks,” Tom Hanks says directly into the camera in what looks like someone’s den, “And I want Barack Obama to be the next president of our country. As an official celebrity, I know my endorsement has just made your mind up for you.”
An arms race that will eventually end with a hug race.
When faced with the daunting task of closing “The Gump Gap”, Sunday Morning Bill (Clinton) sought to mine this rich, frequently tapped vein of potential Democrat voters by spending it in church with failed NFL quarterback Heath Shuler.
Admittedly, I miss Local Blog Wars. The jousting and enmity that can only come from people who walk and work on the same streets with you every day. That those same people view the exact same world you’re seeing in a completely different way and it’s all the more interesting if they have an original thought in their head. Not the case here, but I’ll digress on that point.
I was not ever sure that it was possible to have a civil, respectful, authentic virtual “community” if religion or politics were a part of the conversation. I can care about and enjoy someone even if I disagree with–think they are dead wrong regarding, their views on religion or politics. There are numerous examples of such people in the greater MCB network.
Again, Williams offers his legendary respect to people that would never offer the same in return as he’s summarily criticized for not giving effective notice of resignation from his unpaid whipping post as Last Conservative Holdout.
What started out as a community-continuation exercise after the pogrom that burned NiT to the ground quickly turned into a Stalinist purging of everyone who didn’t adhere to some gynocratic leftwing star chamber hiding behind closed Twitter accounts. And Twitter is just IRC for slower, cud-chewing people.
The three-time All-American, in an exclusive interview with ESPN.com, revealed for the first time publicly that he played his senior season at Tennessee after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from one of his testicles in March 2007.
He was diagnosed with cancer only a few days after Tennessee ended its 2006-07 season with a Sweet 16 loss to Ohio State in San Antonio. Miraculously, the cancer was discovered after Lofton was picked randomly following the first-round win over Long Beach State to submit to an NCAA-mandated drug test. The results turned up positive, and Tennessee officials weren’t notified until the day of the Ohio State game.
Amazingly, Lofton went through the entire ordeal — the surgery, radiation treatments, recovery and excruciating emotional distress — with very few people knowing.
It’s the way he wanted it. An intensely private person, he internalized everything and was hell-bent on nobody being able to make excuses for him.
“That’s just the way he is: a no-excuses kind of fella,” said Lofton’s father, Franklin. “The worst part for us was not being down there with him and everything he was going through, but that’s the way Chris wanted it. He knew if we were down there in Knoxville all the time, people would be asking questions.”
Even before I knew this story, I had a great deal of respect for Lofton due to the way he’s carried himself on and off the court and his continued humility in the face of national media attention. Throw this amazing story into the mix and you may have to come up with some brand new word to cover the guts and character that Lofton has shown during his time at UT.
Due to the fact that this feels a little like dirty pool, this endorsement is posted without comment. HOWEVER, these are some of the best arguments I’ve heard yet for electing the Obamessiah.
Looks like the Titans are going to be giving up that 4th Round draft pick next year. News Channel 5 in Nashville is reporting that the man hilariously accused of extorting a mere $15k from Jones is singing like Beverly Sills that Pacman ordered the shooting, has lied to police, that he knows the shooter’s name and address and been obstructing justice (if true) this entire time.
A 29-year-old man arrested for a Las Vegas strip club shooting said suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones ordered the 2007 shooting, which injured three people.
[...]
Jones told police Edwards extorted $15,000 from him, telling him he needed to pay for “services rendered.”
“I definitely didn’t receive no $15,000,” Edwards said. “I definitely didn’t extort nobody out of no money.”
[...]
Edwards said Jones knows the shooter well. Edwards said the shooter is part of a crowd Jones hangs out with in Atlanta.
“He knows they name,” Edwards said. “He knows they street name. He needs to tell on them instead of trying to put this on me when he knows I didn’t do this and he know I never met him before and he know he don’t know me and I don’t know him.”
Though Edwards is denying all charges, he has since racked up an additional count for 2nd Degree Murder of the English Language.
Wakka-Wakka, Pacman. Looks like Jim Brown’s magic touch has struck again.
Of course, a modern day Christ would have simply referred to Judas as a “distraction”.
Obama said he heard that Wright had given “a performance” and when he watched news accounts, he realized that it more than just a case of the former pastor defending himself.
“His comments were not only divisive and destructive, I believe they end up giving comfort to those who prey on hate,” Obama said.
Newsflash, your majesty. Your pastor is the one who prays preys on hate and his flock are the ones offering him that comfort.
Nice projection though. I’m pretty sure if Jesus Christ had telephone pollsters that he would have decided to turn water into sparkling grape juice rather than demon wine.
But still, the Obamessiah back pedals in his condemnation for style points and not content:
“I think he felt vilified and attacked and I understand him wanting to defend himself,” Obama said. “That may account for the change but the insensitivity and the outrageousness of the statements shocked me and surprised me.”
Spoken like a man who is still going to need Wright’s support to keep his Senate seat when he loses 40+ states. For a candidate with such a rapid reaction team, it took him taking a poll on Wright last night to decide on another foot dragging exercise in damage control.
Let’s keep it real though, O-dawg. Your pastor was asked point blank at the National Press Club if he thought that Jesus Christ was the only way into heaven and he obfuscated (at 9:30 into the video). A professional Christian who doesn’t believe in Christ and a Black Liberation Theologian Charlatan who retires to a 98% white gated community.
I guess nothing is more liberating than freeing yourself of the guilt of having to face all those black people whose money you stole after tossing them false scraps of salvation from your angry table.
Commandment Watch:
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
And that’s Strike Three, Reverend. Thanks for playing.
Should it become necessary in the months from now to identify the moment that doomed Obama’s presidential aspirations, attention is likely to focus on the hour between nine and ten this morning at the National Press Club.

Speaking before an audience that included Marion Barry, Cornel West,Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad, Wright praised Louis Farrakhan, defended the view that Zionism is racism, accused the United States of terrorism, repeated his view that the government created the AIDS virus to cause the genocide of racial minorities, stood by other past remarks (”God damn America”) and held himself out as a spokesman for the black church in America.
In front of 30 television cameras, Wright’s audience cheered him on as the minister mocked the media and, at one point, did a little victory dance on the podium.
Quite a spectacle. Sadly, the majority of black people believe every word he said. It’s what’s taught in their homes. It’s what’s taught in their churches and you would be hard pressed to find black teachers (at a collegiate level) who would disagree.
If this is an attack on the black church it is one that is long overdue. The black church is a host to a cancer in need of irradiating sunlight.
You want to have a national discussion on race? Start by explaining how this bigot married you to your America hating wife, baptized your elitist children, propelled your pigmentation-based career and how he was your spiritual mentor and inspiration for your best-selling book but that you never heard any of this bull before. Have you heard it now?
Prepare fingerwag in 3….2…..1. He’s your “former” pastor though so you can’t disown him. After all, he retired an entire month ago.
Rep. Jim McDermott has paid more than $1 million to House Minority Leader John Boehner, ending a decade-long dispute over an illegally taped telephone call.
McDermott, a Seattle Democrat, paid $1,093,297 to the Ohio Republican’s campaign committee earlier this month, spokesman for the two men said Monday.
Illegally taping phone conversations for partisan gain??? A chill wind blows! Er, um…well, blew.
“Every last penny will be used to help elect Republicans,” Smith said, calling it ironic that McDermott — an outspoken partisan — “is helping fund the defeat of his fellow Democrats. I wouldn’t expect he’ll receive a lot of thank you’s come November.”
McDermott, for his part, was unbowed.
“While the amount of damages assessed in this case is significant,” he said, “I submit that defending the First Amendment is beyond measure and worth every penny.”
Keep telling yourself that, jerky. If only he would extend the same privacy rights to his fellow citizens that he does to the terrorists.
Why is Bill Richardson associating with Hugo Chavez? After Carter, Pelosi, McDermott, I guess we should get used to people negotiating with foreign governments when it’s not their place. That would certainly explain why Obama’s name is burning up the laptops of FARC terrorists. Sorry if I’m seeing a connection between the guy who had an ugly public split with his ex-boss when he endorsed you a month ago.
It would also explain Obama’s tactic of rejecting trade with Colombia (an ally) which would weaken it and strengthening a far-leftist like Chavez in the region.
All the coincidences keep flowing in the same direction.
In other words, Richardson just delivered the Hugo Chavez endorsement. Will Americans see Hugo’s blessing as a compelling reason to vote for Obama, or to vote for John McCain? And just how vapid can Richardson be to cheerfully deliver that bombshell on CNN?
And the Titans are addressing our desperate need at running back by picking Chris Johnson from East Carolina. Obama knows we need it and keeping with TT’s tradition of picking lesser known players in an attempt to save a buck or three. 4.2 speed. Think about that for a second. Get his weight right and you’ve got a little bowling ball rolling down the field if his vision’s tight.
The addition of Alge Crumpler at tight end in the offseason cannot be overstated. He’s the best TE in the game and I don’t care who says otherwise. Todd Heap lovingly massages monkey balls at the zoo compared to Crumpler. In a Coach Fish offense, Crumpler’s role is integral to a successful scrambling, PA quarterback.
Now all we need is an OT, 2 DTs, the deep threat WR, and a LB to compliment Keith Bulluck and we’re going to be in bidness.
w00t! Nowhere to go but up. Chime in with your draft comments if you think we fubbed up.
I’ve got to head down the street. It’s a A Vast Chicken Wing Conspiracy thing.
Here’s an interesting video from Reason.tv. (Video after the jump)
At the Cranky household, we had a great debate to do with our check.
My daughter, the fiscal conservative, wants to send the entire balance to Citibank and get us out of debt.
On the other side was my son, the economist, (and I’m not making this up) wants to stimulate the economy (his words) and preserve the spirit of the stimulation package (my words). Yes, it would enrich American Eagle, but that’s the point.
What are you going to do with your free gubmint money?
Maybe this whole “unity” message that Obama espouses really means “collectivism”. The intrepid Stop the ACLU finds that the Obama campaign blogger is something of a Marxist.
This time we find that the Obama campaign’s official blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, has spent time in France participating in labor riots, has written for a socialist magazine, hung a communist flag in his home, and was a fan of Marx while at Harvard.
I suppose the sunny messages resonate with folks who believe the Marxist vision of a government-sponsored utopia. Maybe your tractor won’t be appropriated by the Party, but surely that pesky money you have lying around can be put to better use.
Look, this is nowhere near the magnitude of Jerimiah Wright or Bill Ayers. This is more an exercise in bad judgment than (yet another) deep flaw in Obama’s personal associations.
… but …
Obama’s entire message is unity, hope, post-racialism and an optimistic view of the future. Yet every actual action has pointed to identity politics, radical leftism, Carteresque foreign policy and the broadest interpretation of abortion rights including heinous opposition to the “Born Alive” infant protection bill.
Providing Medical Treatment to Children Born Alive After A Failed Abortion
In 2002, while serving in the Illinois State Legislature, Obama voted “No” on the Born Alive Infant Protection Package (SB 1661), a bill which would create a cause of action against a physician if a child is born alive after an attempted abortion and the physician, harms, neglects or fails to provide medical care for the Child.
Sorry to take the detour into abortion, but it really shows that through assocations and actions, Barack Obama is no moderate.
I really wanted to protest the McCain presidency by sitting this one out. But thanks to the Democrats choices in nominees, I’ll have to dust off my McCain2008 buttons and take a Spanish refresher course.
It’s a simple mistake. One anyone could have made.
Though many of our amigos come to this rapidly depreciating great land of ours to make a living by doing jobs Americans Don’t Want To Do, some habits are too hard to break:
A Mexican official allegedly swiped half a dozen or more BlackBerrys belonging to his White House counterparts during a U.S.-Mexico summit this week, according to news reports.
[...]
Rafael Quintero Curiel, a member of Calderon’s press office, allegedly took six or seven BlackBerrys belonging to White House staff from a table outside a room in the hotel where Mexican officials were meeting with Bush…
[...]
The U.S. Secret Service is said to have caught Quintero Curiel pocketing the devices on a surveillance video. Mexican media confirmed the story and Mexican officials told The Times today that Quintero Curiel was fired after he returned to Mexico. According to Fox News, the Secret Service caught up with him at the airport, where he “said it was purely accidental, gave [the BlackBerrys] back, claimed diplomatic immunity and left New Orleans with the Mexican delegation.”
¡Ay, caramba! How do I reach deez keedz?
Sr. Quintero was apprehended selling the Blackberrys by the bag at the off-ramp to the Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans. He deftly played the Bill Belichick card and responded to the Secret Service that when he was told that he was going to America to pick Blackberrys that he misunderstood the job requirements.
“A gringo pulled up in a limousine and picked up our Mexican delegation in the parking lot of a Shell station a few miles from the Summit”, Quintero Curiel explained. “They left me in a room and I see a bunch of blackberries so I started picking them. I’m going to chalk this up to a cultural differences.”
Presumptive Republican vice-presidential candidate Mike HuckabeeJack KempArlen Spektre Lindsey Graham seized on the plight of Sr. Quintero to underscore the need to half-heartedly fund an imaginary fence along the U.S. southern border to make the bigots shut up.
“He’s a politician, I’m a pastor,” he said. “We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they’re two different worlds.”
Translation:Obama can’t tell you how he really feels about how we deserved 9/11 and how AIDS and crackifibed cocaine was created by the U.S.K.K.K. of A gubmint to destroy Mandingo. He’s a politician. He’ll lie to your momma’s face. Or to say that he isn’t a rogue, closet-Muslimed agent of Brother Farrakhan. Me on the other hand….I’ll be on Bill Moyers tomorrow night telling you what your cracker ass needs to hear. The Troof ™.
Set the Tivo, honkies. You grafted white devils might learn something.
Meanwhile, John McCain has his Public Disavowal speech on standby for anyone who will dare to link this dashiki wearing fool to his political better.
“It’s to paint me as something. Something’s wrong with me.
(imitating his detractors) There’s nothing wrong with this country. It’s policies. We’re, we’re - perfect. We’re, we’re our hands are free. Our hands have no blood on them.”
We would like to eat our waffles, too, Senator, without government intervention. Speaking of waffles, B. Hussein has his own waffles to share with you this fall. Here, try them, try them and see if you may like them, Sam I Am.
