There are so many striking similarities.Quick, Prudence. Tell Jasper to get the pick-up truck helicopter ready. Brother Harold’s going to make white liberals in New York feel comfortable with him one egg-white garden omelet at a time.
Serial racebaiter Harold Ford Jr., of the notorious Ford Memphis Crime Family, gave a perplexing interview to some columnist named Marion Dowd of a paper named after her visage, the Old Grey Lesbian. Enjoy how he remembers things the way they weren’t:
Ford said he and his pretty blond wife, Emily, a marketing expert, were married in 2008 after his racially charged run for the Senate in Tennessee. They have made her apartment their official home.
“My wife decided after the ’08 election,” he said. “There was so much bad racial stuff out of Tennessee on Obama. I’m in an interracial marriage. I don’t want to subject my wife to this, and I want to start a family. I think my marriage is more accepted here than it would be in Tennessee.
Then promise to never come back, asshole.
First off, race was never a factor in Ford’s losing effort to become a Senator. If it was it was on his part.
Allow me to posit that there is a kernel of truth in his accusation about racism in Tennessee though. If St. Alban’s little Lord Fauntleroy thought him marrying a “pretty blond wife” was going to lose him votes it was going to be from people on his own side. Mainly, a fractured black vote against him for being a race traitor. All those black church ladies in Memphis might have a problem getting up to vote that morning if Harold’s son was sporting Pam Anderson on his arm every day. Evidently they resent that kind of stuff.
He kept his fiancee in the closet so long that she needed the pedicures to remove the mold. That’s not an indictment of Threlkeld’s hygiene as much as one of the fungus she’s attached herself.
Then Obama came along and the Clinton star that Ford attached himself to started to descend. Apparently there were more palatable “light-skinned, clean and articulate” candidates out there who also were absent of that pesky negro dialect that some Nevada Senators find so objectionable.
The question New Yorkers must ask themselves is “Are they ready to elect Clayton Bigsby as their new representative?”
Initial exit polls put Viktor Yanukovych, a Soviet-style politician, three to five percentage points ahead of Yulia Tymoshenko, his bitter rival and the current prime minister. A fuller picture is expected to emerge on Monday, at which point 80 per cent of the votes are likely to have been counted.
If confirmed, Mr Yanukovych’s victory sounds a death knell for the country’s 2004 Orange Revolution that set it firmly on a pro-Western course but failed to deliver meaningful changes.
Those would be meaningful changes after Putin’s attempt to assassinate their leader. Of course, what pro-Western country was left for them to turn? Even in the U.S. we unfortunately have a President who dreams of a Post-American world.
Ahead of the vote, he appeared relaxed and confident. “I am sure that the Ukrainian nation deserves a better life,” he said, casting his vote.
“That is why I have voted for good changes and for stability.” His advisers concede he is a poor public speaker but insist he is hard- working and committed to delivering better living standards, something Ukraine desperately needs. They insist he is not the Kremlin stooge he is often made out to be, though admit his policies are likely to be more palatable to the Kremlin than those of outgoing president Viktor Yushchenko.
In other words, “Things have developed that’ll ensure security. I’ve just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever.”
How’s that “reset” button working out for us?
Next stop, Romania. Hours after stealing the Ukrainian election, the Kremlin fires a shot across the bow.
Who doesn’t love an underdog? Year in and year out for decades the lowly Aints have struggled to even make it to a playoff but now they’re in The Big Game. Are we supposed to be surprised when they can’t act like they’ve been there before?
NEW ORLEANS – A student at a Maurepas school was sent home by the principal for refusing to take off an Indianapolis Colts jersey, according to a statement from the American Civil Liberties Union.
“(T)he Principal of Maurepas High School, which had declared that students could wear jerseys in support of the New Orleans Saints, punished a student for wearing a jersey in support of the Indianapolis Colts,” said ACLU Executive Director Margie Esman in an e-mail.
“The student, who had lived most of his life in Indianapolis and has an outstanding academic record, was called out of class and told that he was not allowed to wear that shirt. When he refused to change his shirt, the principal sent him home.”
We’re just talking about one out-of-control, tinpot fascist here – right? A rogue principal whose school spirit borders on North Korean nationalism. But then you delve into the comments section and see how far some people are willing to go to support his actions. Running the gamut from calling for permanent expulsion of the student, to veiled personal threats of the student because “they know who he is”, to calling for arresting his parents with a few “whodats” peppered inbetween. Rules are rules!
Maurepas High Valedictorian, Lootie: Just following the rules!
It’s easy to think some people are engaging in a bit of pre-Super Bowl hyperbole but since most Saints fans can’t spell “hyperbole” I dismissed that out of hand. They’ve expelled one of the brighter students at their school for engaging in a harmless bit of free expression because he didn’t read the DRESS CODE. This criticism coming from people who couldn’t watch a weather forecast for an entire week warning them to get out of the way of a CAT-5 hurricane the size of Germany.
Dumbasses don’t follow rules.
Rule #1: Big Hurricane = Move.
But seriously, folks – Go Colts!
And if by some miracle of animal sacrifice and voodoo magic New Orleans is able to win then the police will need to be on standby.
To prevent Houston from being burned to the ground.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. But don’t worry about it, I’ve never heard of them either. But no matter, they are on the politically correct side of this issue, so they will be hailed as heroes.
Not-so-ironically, these black athletes are either ignorant of or supportive of the genocidal abortion rates in the black community. It would be nice if they would come out and confirm one or the other. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the former.

Part two in our ongoing series, and because I’m feeling particularly stupid, we continue.
In this episode, we look at Tom T. Hall’s ultra-sappy “I Love” as our SCIENTIFIC EXHIBIT A:
For our SCIENTIFIC EXHIBIT B, we look at Heathen Dan’s “I Like” from the old Doctor Demento radio show. I remember hearing this on Rock 103’s morning show in Memphis when I was just a lad. I can’t stop laughing. I give it a B+. Warning, graphic content.
The guy who spends his whole life thinking about how to screw people in the ass has a plan to stop the ebbs and flows of the global market with some prescription-strength Astroglide applied liberally. Yea, yea, yea. A hammer sees every problem as a nail.
Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.) said that a bank tax and other tough new measures would be introduced by the individual countries, but in a coordinated way to prevent bankers from moving from one place to another to escape regulation.
“Lenin might have been able to put socialism in one country, but tough bank regulation in one country ain’t going to happen because we will lose people,” said Frank, who heads the House Financial Services Committee, a key spot for any American decisions.
But don’t call them Bolsheviks. It’s like poison complaining about a skull and crossbones on it’s warning label.
Shorter Frank: Wenin put sociawism in one country but what we need is a Gwobal Weninist so that the sands of other people’s money won’t swip through our fingers.
You have the head of the House Financial Services Committee arguing in favor of Global Leninism.
You can go ahead and pull your money out of the stock market now.
The Obama administration is considering several steps that would review the legality of the controversial Bowl Championship Series, the Justice Department said in a letter Friday to a senator who had asked for an antitrust review.
…
“The administration shares your belief that the current lack of a college football national championship playoff with respect to the highest division of college football … raises important questions affecting millions of fans, colleges and universities, players and other interested parties,” Weich wrote.
Take your Ritalin, guys. In a battle between the BCS and the ADHD, I’m betting on the BCS.
Nobody’s solved healthcare. Nobody’s solved crap. You don’t want to prosecute the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia but you’re ready to roro-rooter the BCS Series?
“Interested parties” means congressmen and senators who would like free tickets to ogle college poon and prick while they “investigate”.
Jobs are our #1 priority. Sure. But they’ll never get above #6 until they schedule a few more Big-12 and SEC games during election season.
There is an old boilerplate technique used by journalists where any mention of spending cuts leads directly to images of starving babies, school closings and laid-off firemen.
This was especially effective during the Reagan years and is discussed by Bernard Goldberg in his first book Bias regarding the “homeless crisis”.
This would stop by next Tuesday if Republicans would always respond exactly as Senator Gregg did.
Yes, I’m mining Newsbusters today. My office computer still has a rabbit-ear antenna and it’s the only station I get.

I didn’t watch the SOTU last night, because I know what the “state of the union” is. We have a Marxist/narcissist for a President who has surrounded himself with other Marxist “czars” and is hell-bent on removing our liberties and economic freedom. Our CONgress is filled with socialists, elitists and every other kind of corrupt spend-o-crat that ever crawled out of the city sewer. Why would I watch this bunch of lunatics celebrate this horrible period in our history?
Obama insists that Americans need to muster the courage to agree with him, to sign on to his agenda. Just as at Omaha Beach and Bull Run, Americans need to show their mettle. “Again, we are tested. And again, we must answer history’s call.” That “call” is the call of Obama.
“I never suggested that change would be easy, or that I can do it alone.” So come on, you slackers, fall into line.
He decried the politicians who are in “permanent campaign” mode — the same week he brought into the White House his campaign manager.
Other politicians are vain, cowardly and insubstantial. They need the courage to change. Meanwhile, Obama is great the way he is.
And what he is is a petulant 3-year-old in a Marxist feminized middle-aged man’s body. On the bright side, America is starting to see through his bullshit charade.
He even had the gall to call out SCOTUS, who made the right decision last week to turn over Juan McShame’s anti-freedom-of-speech “campaign finance reform” bill. Video:
Lucifer got a new head librarian today and he’s already gotten to work re-writing The Bible as the tale of a struggling, working class imp denied a living wage and cast out of eternally subsidized housing by a Zionist slavedriver buttressed by embellished, anonymous and unsubstantiated accounts (narrated by Matt Damon):
Howard Zinn, the Boston University historian and political activist who was an early opponent of US involvement in Vietnam and whose books, such as “A People’s History of the United States,” inspired young and old to rethink the way textbooks present the American experience, died today in Santa Monica, Calif, where he was traveling. He was 87.
More empirical data that the good die young.
“Howard was an old and very close friend,” Chomsky said. “He was a person of real courage and integrity, warmth and humor. He was just a remarkable person.”
Despite Chomsky losing the un-American Simon to his traitorous Garfunkel, we can only hope that he will soon join him in blowing Cerberus for a few licks from his dog bowl while getting the hot poker to an endless replay of “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover”.
But it won’t all be fun and games. As punishment for overflowing Hell’s antiquated sewage system with his bullshit, the Dark Lord then sentences Zinn to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” for all eternity in front of a waving American flag and a burning Soviet one with no reprieve – save a glass of water with a twist of lemon and a loaded shotgun.
Remember, if your worldview is challenged by pesky things like facts, simply observed cause and effect relationships or even the painfully obvious, there is always MSNBC to comfort you.
For example, say you have a very liberal state with an extensive “progressive” history. Say this state, consistent with it’s liberalism, votes overwhelmingly for America’s first African-American presidential candidate. And finally, just suppose that this first African-American president suggests some legislation that is so overwhelmingly horrible that even this liberal state opposes it. If you were rational, mightn’t you conclude that if your most ardent supporters are against something, that this certain something might be deeply flawed?
And on MSNBC, you got practically every conceivable expression of venom against Brown and anybody who voted him. From Maddow’s dark suspicions that the election was rigged — she cited complaints about a grand total of six ballots out of about 2.25 million cast — to Olbermann’s suggestion in the video up above that the same Massachusets voters who went for Barack Obama by a 62-28 percent margin had suddenly realized they helped elect a black guy and went Republican in repentance, the network’s coverage was idiotic, one-sided and downright ugly.
Yes, I’m aware that every person with a an IQ greater than lint knows that MSNBC is positioning themselves to be the anti-Fox. And we all know that GE somehow avoids being lumped in with all the Obama administration’s evil corporate bogeymen. But I did this cool Photoshop and needed a reason to post it.
He was some sort of singing, dancing Canadian rodent.
I just learned that Steven Crowder was the voice of The Brain on the PBS kid’s series “Arthur”. Little kids make you suffer through a lot of bad TV, but I always liked Arthur. Sort of washed the Teletubbies out of my brain.
Here is an interesting look at the Tea Party / Republican Party dynamic from the New York Times(!).
The GOP is recognizing that there is a growing and influential voting bloc in the Tea Party movement. So here begins the delicate dance of continuing to make political sausage and appeasing conservative demands.
When [Republican candidate for Governor of Colorado] Scott McInnis appeared on Fox News last month underneath a title calling him the “Tea-Party-backed candidate” for governor, he triggered a tempest. Tea Party leaders fired off angry e-mail messages and public statements insisting that he was not their choice.
“Let it be known that we will not be used by any party or candidate!” Lu Ann Busse, the head of a coalition of Tea Party brethren known as 9/12 groups, declared at a “Defend the Republic” rally where she was invited to set the record straight after Mr. McInnis’s appearance.
…
“They thought the platform was going to tie into what we were after, that we would be one big happy family,” said Lesley Hollywood, the leader of the Northern Colorado Tea Party.
Mr. McInnis was promoting the platform on Fox News when they identified him as the Tea Party candidate.
Ms. Hollywood was on the telephone with Ms. Busse, the coalition leader, when she saw the interview. “Did you see that?” she shouted. She sent an e-mail message to her members warning that they were “being played like pawns,” and another to Mr. Wadhams expressing her “extreme disgust” at the “blatant hijacking of the Tea Party.”
Tea Partiers noted that Mr. McInnis made no effort to correct the host, Neil Cavuto, when he called Mr. McInnis “the country’s biggest Tea Party candidate.”
Ms. Busse said Mr. McInnis had failed to get support from Tea Partiers because he received low to middling scores on fiscal conservatism from the Colorado Union of Taxpayers and the National Taxpayers Union during his years as a state representative and a congressman. But Tea Party groups also say he has ignored invitations to their candidate forums and other events.
“My frustration is, I have to do all of this work, now the G.O.P. wants us to do what they want to do?” Ms. Hollywood said. “If we’re the ones doing the work, it has to be the other way around.”
Already, there are signs that the Tea Party movement is devolving and may be a short lived movement, but I believe through 2010, they are performing a long overdue and valuable service.
Regarding Olbermann, he is simply a carnival barker for an audience that is too young to know what a carnival barker is. He is not worthy of responses from his conservative critics because that is exactly what his audience feeds off of.
Seeing Jon Stewart do this might actually leave a black eye. I dare Olbermann to make Stewart the Worst Person in the World.
We turn a blind eye and allow them to feel-up nuns, frisk 5 years-olds and harrass disabled elderly travelers. We make ridiculous comments like “if it will keep us safe, then I’m all for it”. We pat ourselves on the back at what good citizens we are for tolerating government intrusion into our daily lives.
We are being beaten into submission.
Listen up people – your fellow American is not your enemy! Your knee-jerk, reactionary big-brother Federal Government is your enemy. Those who would rather inconvenience innocent American citizens under the guise of safety rather than address real issues are you enemies. Those who want you to live in fear and look upon your fellow man with suspicion are the real terrorists!
Unfortunately, this Sunday I have to subject myself to the indignity of air travel. God help me.
“I don’t see the votes for it at this time,” Pelosi told reporters during her weekly press conference. “The members have been very clear.”
…”We have to get a bill passed. We know that,” Pelosi said, adding that “unease would be a gentle word” to describe House members’ attitude toward the Senate legislation at the moment.
Yes, “unease” is too gentle. Try dyspepsia, nausea, revulsion, phobia, panic.
Feel that splash of ice water on your face? Good. Brings everything into sharp focus, it does. I see that you finally got the picture.
“This is a giant wake-up call,” said Terry McAuliffe, the former Democratic National Committee chairman who lost a bid for the Democratic nomination for governor in Virginia last year. “We have to keep our focus on job creation. Everything we have to do is related to job creation. We have to do a much better job on the message. People are confused on what this health care bill is going to do.”
Even before the polls closed, the White House was suggesting the outlines of a recovery strategy, a combination of a more populist tone and an embrace of greater fiscal responsibility.
Mr. Obama has signaled that he intends to take a more populist stance on financial regulation legislation in Congress, seeking to position Democrats as defenders of the people against Wall Street, and to cast Republicans as defenders of bonus-laden bankers. And on Tuesday night, the White House brokered a deal that could lead to a bipartisan commission to recommend spending cuts and tax increases to address the nation’s fiscal condition. For months, Mr. Obama’s advisers had warned that the perception that budget deficits and the national debt were spiraling out of control was alienating independent voters already turned off by partisan battling.
Of course, all the talk above is just that, talk – The message. Considering that the majority of the stimulus was to sustain state spending and expand the federal government, there may be no real improvement in the economy under the Democrats benevolent hand.
By the way, good luck with the casting of “Democrats as defenders of the people against Wall Street, and to cast Republicans as defenders of bonus-laden bankers”. The Republicans should put up pictures of Timothy Geithner offering up wheelbarrows of cash to AIG, Chris Dodd’s Irish Cottage and Barney Frank making kissy-face with Fannie and Freddie at every opportunity.
Meanwhile, as the tide seems to be turning, please keep pressure on our side of the aisle to keep to the principles of fiscal responsibility.
The GOP brand is still damaged. And instant exploitation of the Brown win — see the NRSC website here — isn’t going to help matters. As I’ve said for many years, the Republican Party needs to clean its own house before it demands that the Democrats clean theirs
…
One more cautionary note: Tonight is unquestionably a night to celebrate. But remember to manage your expectations, as always, of all politicians. You’ll be less disappointed when they inevitably let you down.
