Conspiracy theories and a dead Justice.

Wait a minute now, these conspiracy theories floating around that someone murdered Justice Scalia's is getting out of hand. 

And of course wingnuts are implying that President Obama and his secret assassin army had a hand in the jurist's untimely demise. To them, he had this nefarious plot in place all along to totally transform America. All it took was a quick pillow to the head. "Check that pillow for Obama's prints". Don't laugh, someone actually wrote that.

Check out this headline from Drudge:

"BREAKING: Justice Scalia Found Dead WITH PILLOW OVER HIS HEAD at Ranch Owned by Obama Award Winner

…Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, a Democrat, acknowledged that she pronounced Scalia dead by phone, without seeing his body."

See how they did that? They made a connection to Obama by saying that Scalia died in the home of an  "Obama Award Winner"

I mean even the leading republican candidate for president has jumped into the debate.

"Donald, I need to come back to the topic we’ve all been screaming about here, which is Scalia, was he murdered,” Savage said. “I know it’s pretty brutal to say that, and I’m not wanting to drag you into this, but this is going to be bigger and bigger and bigger.”

“I went on the air and said we need the equivalent of a Warren Commission, we need an immediate autopsy before the body is disposed of. What do you think of that?” Savage asked.....

“Well I just heard today… you know I just landed and I’m hearing it’s a big topic.”

“But they say they found a pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow,” Trump said. “I can’t tell you– I can’t give you an answer.” [Source]

You can't?! How about he died of a heart attack because of his terrible eating habits and the poor physical shape that he was in? It's not like we are talking about 40 year old man here. The man was pushing 80 for crying out loud!

Here is a news flash: Old conservatives can die of natural causes like everyone else.

I think it's the Dick Cheney effect, though. The man has had all kinds of heart issues and his ticker just keeps going. These wingnuts believe that all of their leaders should be like Dick Cheney.

But back to the Drudge Headline for a minute:

"That incredible reach turns downright scummy when you consider which “Obama Award” Poindexter won. Contrary to apparent conservative belief, there actually is no “Obama Awards” show, where the New Black Panthers win “Best Ensemble” and the Best Picture award always goes to “The Whitey Tape.”

No, John Poindexter was presented a very different sort of award on October 20, 2009 at The White House:

 

President Obama was presenting the Presidential Unit Citation to Alpha Troop, 1st Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry for heroism during the Vietnam War, an award that dates back to its establishment by executive order in 1942. That makes it an “Obama Award” only if Obama has a really tricked-out DeLorean.

Justice Scalia’s death has only ever been attributed to natural causes, and Poindexter’s account doesn’t change that. It Doesn’t even say the pillow was covering Scalia’s face, although having had a heart attack, I can understand why a person might do that to mitigate the pain.

The sad part is that there’s zero chance people like GP‘s Jim Hoft actually think that President Obama or anyone else had anything to do with Scalia’s death, but they’re happy to smear him and a Vietnam war hero in order to get some cheap, unhinged traffic. Shame on them"

Wrong Tommy. They absolutely believe it. You give these people way too much credit.

 It's called Obama Derangement Syndrome, and it can have that kind of effect on the brain.

The art of spin.

I have to give it to the right wing propaganda machine, they know how to control the media narrative and spin a story in their favor.


It starts with Drudge, then it's picked up on FOX, and then their politicians take it from there. Once they (the politicians) start with the talking points, the rest of the main stream media jumps in to get a quote from the politician. It's brilliant.


This is how a narrative is spun in America.


Of course once you get past the narrative and the talking points and you start looking for the real facts, something different might start to take shape.


"Since Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s release this weekend in exchange for five Guantanamo Bay detainees, criticism of the swap has emerged from fellow members of Bergdahl’s unit, who have decried him as a deserter whose actions cost the lives of six other service members. The criticism has been vocied through a variety of mediums, from Facebook groups to internet columns to appearances on The Kelly File.


Another avenue: a New York Times article published Monday, which quoted two of Bergdahl’s fellow service members — in interviews, the paper noted, arranged by GOP strategists:




RELATED: MSNBC Guest to Steele: If Bergdahl ‘Were a Hero,’ You’d Make the Swap


Both the service members quoted via the strategist-arranged interviews went on to say they wanted to see Bergdahl court martialed as a result of his actions." [Source]


There is more.


"Gerald Sutton, one of the members of Bowe Bergdahl‘s platoon, was rather hesitant to repeat claims by others who served with them about a link between Bergdahl’s disappearance and increased attacks on their base, telling Jake Tapper that’s a pretty serious allegation to make without all the evidence to back it up. Evan Buetow, Bergdahl’s team leader, and Justin Gerleve, his squad leader, both told Tapper this week that they noticed an increase in attacks on their base after Bergdahl reportedly deserted.


Sutton said that neither he nor the other soldiers in the platoon he’s spoken with have any knowledge of prior instances when Bergdahl walked off-base, as one report said, and none of them have knowledge of a supposed note Bergdahl left behind beforehand.


Tapper then asked him about the idea that attacks on the base increased after Bergdahl left. Sutton was hesitant to make any kind of direct connection.

“As a unit stays in-country for a longer period of time, the placement of IEDs always changes. So that could just be a part of it… it could be a number of different things, and to say that it was Bergdahl alone, that he’s the main factor, that’s kind of a powerful statement and we need some serious evidence to back that up.”

Throw all that in with this admittedly left wing leaning article , and now I am totally confused.


I honestly don't know if this Bowe Bergdahl dude is some kind of traitor or Manchurian Candidate , or whether articles of impeachment will be drawn up against the president of these divided states for breaking the law. But I do know this: All the facts are not yet in.

The politics of hatred.

I am getting ready for this debate tonight, -twiter here I come- so I am going to get my post out of the way now.  

Anyway, my wingnut friends have been deep in into their Obama derangement syndrome of late.

First there was that "bombshell" tape that FOX News, and Matt Drudge Dud was to deliver that would change the shape of the elections and be Mitt's answer to the 47% hidden tape.

Well, we saw it, and unfortunately for FOX and their friends, we have seen it all before. Next.

One person who was quite intrigued with the tape was our friend Ann Coulter. Ann thinks that O was trying to garner black cred by going all Malcolm X. (BTW, I happen to like how Malcolm X gave his speeches.)

"Ann Coulter: Obama is such a fraud. He grew up in Beverly Hills 90210 existence but is just desperate to have this angry black person persona. It's rather like reading about, you know, Hitler's musings on his Germanic identity. You know, he graduated from this fancy, fancy school in Hawaii, voted recently the greenest school in America. And yet when he wants to, he just turns it on and suddenly we got Malcolm X speaking to us.

Mark Levin: Well, actually, he and his wife, I mean they really have had better than the quote, unquote middle class lives, haven't they? I mean they've gone to great Ivy League schools, as you point out. They live great lives, people have helped take care of them. Now they live like a king and queen.

Coulter: Yes, and still angry. It's all an act. It's like his 70% of Twitter followers being fake. The whole thing is just smoke and mirrors. And at least for people of our generation, I mean this is a large part of why we have more child molesters than racists in America. It just isn't part of our existence. During our entire lifetimes, the only affect of being black is that you get benefits, doors open for you. You are more likely to get a position in the Harvard Law School. Anyone who grew up watching the Brady Bunch -- racism and discrimination, at least discrimination against black people, there is some discrimination against white people -- simply isn't a part of our conceptional apparatus. Which is why it is so strange, of all people, this half-black man born in Hawaii in 1961 walking around like he's Martin Luther King." [Source]
*

Ann, it's you and your friend Mark who seem "angry". But I guess white anger is cool. It's that black anger we have to watch out for. 

Speaking of white anger, how about this guy?

"A Facebook photo of a handgun posted on Friday by Brad Staats, the Republican nominee for Tennessee's 5th Congressional District, has stirred controversy over its accompanying caption, which concludes with the words "welcome to Tennessee Mr. Obama."

"Many people in Tennessee keep asking me about my opinion on Second Amendment rights. Apparently Tennesseans are part of that crazy crowd that Obama says ‘cling to (their) religion and guns,'" Staats wrote, referencing remarks made by then-candidate Obama at a California fundraiser in 2008. "Well, then I must be part of that crazy crowd. Here is something that I usually have with me. Welcome to Tennessee Mr. Obama."

The photo of a Colt 911 semi-automatic pistol raised concerns among some who thought Staats might be threatening the President. [Source]

Oh my! Where does all this anger and hate for the beige one come from?
They have even put out a warning to "white women" (from Mitt's camp no less) about voting for his Oness. 

Gene Lyons, bless his soul, tried to understand it, and he wrote a wonderful essay about the phenomenon that is Obama hate. He rightfully concludes that by focusing on their hatred for Obama, they lose focus of what really matters and their party's brand will become tainted.

"The temptation for Southern Republicans would be to double down on the crazy, because “conservatism,” so-called, can never fail, only be failed. Also because religious melodrama is really what an awful lot of them are really about. That, and Koch Brothers money. They’re not actually conservatives at all, in the classical sense, but sentimental fanatics seeking to purge the nation of sin; adepts of “limited government” with their noses buried in women’s panty drawers; apostles of a lost Utopia located in a non-existent past, most often in 60s sitcoms like “The Andy Griffith Show.”

In that sense, fear and loathing of President Obama strikes me as a lot wider than deep; a fad, not an existential dread. They survived the Voting Rights Act; they’ll get over this. However, adapting to the new political reality may take some time.

Too bad, because the nation needs a principled conservative party to check the follies of the anti-gravity left."

Today, it hasn’t got one.[Source]

Obama better hope that Mitt doesn't jump across the stage tonight. A man can only hold in his hatred for so long.

Mitt, please chill; it's the man's wedding anniversary for crying out loud.

Damn Yankees, and the skinny on Obama.

Let me start off tonight's post by saying congrats to the Zoo Yawk Hankees. Looks like the venerable franchise is going to win their 27th (or is it 28th) World Series at the expense of the "Fightens". That's an impressive run. I will ignore the fact that half of those championships came when there were like what, eight teams in baseball, not to mention a certain guy with a candy bar named after him wearing the pinstripes.

Still, I won't say anything negative about the Yankees tonight, they deserve their rings. Hopefully A-Rod's will be able to fit his ring finger. I am pretty sure that " the juice" doesn't swell those joints. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

So anywhooo, last night I blogged about Chris Christie's weight and I got some nasty e-mails about that. Quite a few people (no doubt conservatives) took offense to me making fun of the guy's wide girth.

Well, people in glass houses should never throw stones. Seems my man Matt Drudge, the Internet king of conservative news, took it upon himself to make an issue of the president's weight as well. Yeah but field, it's not like he was saying that guy is on crack or anything. He was just pointing out the fact that the president seems to have lost a few pounds. (Yeah right.)

And I was just pointing out that Chris Christie might appreciate a really nice meal every now and then. That's all. It doesn't mean that he won't make a fine governor.

"Eyebrows raised over the weekend as President Obama walked out of the gym at Fort McNair -- appearing thin as a rail! Rigorous workouts and high-stress basketball games are said to be behind the dramatic weight loss. "No, he's not chain smoking," claims an insider. "He's working non-stop for the country... yes, he does occasionally skip meals."The president explained in Miami last week: "Just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm not tough." "

That's right O man, besides, your suits still look good on you.

I am shaking in my boots.

"If you go there with the race card we will destroy you"

That was Andrew Brietbart, Matt Drudge's right hand man, drawing a line in the sand in A-merry-ca's ideology war.

Andrew, I have a news flash for you: The only thing that you should be trying to destroy is that gut of yours. You are a little piece of shit with zero credibility. So enjoy your 15 minutes with these Acorn stories. (BTW,I hope the authorities in Maryland prosecute your minions to the fullest extent of the law. Taping an individual in that state without their permission is a crime)

But let me stop, I am starting to succumb to all the incivility and racial tension in the age of Obama. Let's see now; black mother -and a soldier no less- beaten in front of her daughter by racist white man. ( Black people, stay away from Cracker Barrel Restaurants. It's called C-R-A-C-K-E-R Barrel!) White student beaten on a bus by black kids while some of them cheered. (Rosa is turning in her grave. She didn't refuse to give up her seat on the bus for this. ) Of course Drudge led with that story today. Matt and his boy Andrew, who say that no one should be playing the "race card", sure don't seem to be practicing what they preach.

So where is the love here in A-merry-ca? I guess there is nothing like a little recession to bring out people's true colors. (Pun intended) Sometimes, of course, the shit is more subtle ,no recession or black president is usually needed when that's the case. It's just that having Obama kind of gets some people fired up. No racism? The leader of the Tea Bagger movement called the president an "Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug" on national television. Sorry Andrew, I think I might have to drop a race card for that one. I mean if this is the leader of the tea bag movement, just what the hell do the people that are following him think?

Anyway, throw in Kanye, Joe, and Serena, and I am sure that we can all see where this is heading.

Andrew, you should be heading to the gym.

Don't forget your ropes: Just in case the nig...president comes out.

I wanted to blog about 09-11-01 today and the horrors that we always associate with that day, but I can't. I just don't have the stomach for it. Besides, what else can be said that has not already been discussed dissected and pondered by all of us?

Tonight, instead, I want to blog about a few people in A-merry-ca who are carrying us down a road that will ultimately lead us to a place in this country where what happened on 9-11-01 will pale in comparison.

Tomorrow, those people are planning a march on Washington. They are a part of Glenn Beck's 09-12 movement (his name not mine) and an assortment of conservatives-including the"tea baggers"- and self described angry citizens who want to take back A-merry-ca. (I sure hope they storm the BET studios, they would be doing us all a favor.)"The Million Mob March" as some are calling it will be a loud call to the black man inside the people's house to give us our country back, and to take his black ass back to Chicago with his militant A-merry-ca hating wife. Joe Wilson calling him out days before the big march was right on time.

It should be interesting. If only people on the left had such passion. I wonder if there will be counter protesters? I swear, there is nothing like a black man in the people's house to fire up the masses and get them organized. They are calling it an "uprising". A "conservative counter revolution". I wonder when our revolution against the conservative revolution is going to start? Or do we even need a revolution because our boy is in the White House? I think we need a revolution because our boy isn't even really our boy. He is still trying to be president for all A-merry-cans, including the people who are revolting against him. Man this revolution shit sure is confusing.

But I will give the conservative revolutionaries credit. Lately they have have stepped up their attacks. They scalped Van Jones, and went under- cover to expose the ACORN folks. The three pronged attack of Drudge, Beck, and Brietbart have been working overtime. (BTW, unlike Keith Olbermann, who made the call and then backed away from it. Let me say this right here and now for the record: If anyone has any dirt on any of these guys, please shoot the field an e-mail. I will be glad to blog about it. I am not a journalist, so please don't expect me to care of it's accurate or not.)

And finally, a little PSA from the field [taken from a wingnut web site] for those of you who will be marching to take back A-merry-ca tomorrow:

"The day is expected to be HOT (82), HUMID (66%) and BRIGHT (UV index 7) Bring SMALL plant spray bottles with water to cool off DO NOT BRING WATER PISTOLS OR ANYTHING LIKE IT (remember where you are) Bring extra water Wear loose clothes and a hat or have something to cover your head from the sun (I have [...] "

Yes you always have to be careful of the sun. You don't want to end up looking like the guy who is in your house.

FORTY FOUR?

Most of you can tell I like sports analogies and sports in general, and from what I see and hear, so does the O man. Well, if the polls hold (IF), it looks like his O ness might become the 44th president of these divided states. This is in spite of ignorance like this, being pushed by Drudge, and the people like the clown on the *bike captioned here.

The number 44 is a pretty good number to have if you are into sports. It was Jerry West's number, it was Reggie Jackson's number, and it was Hank Aaron's number, as well. That's some pretty good company. And now, in 2008, A-merry-ca is about to put a black man in the house named after her majority population, and make him her 44th president. I have to give it to A-merry-ca, whether his O ness wins or loses, she has come a long way. I read some of the regular posters here who happen to be white, and I have to say that there might still be hope for this crazy country of ours yet. I say might, because for every well meaning person of good will I run into, there is a story of the opposite taking place here in the land of the [some are] free. Today I listened to a young college educated white colleague tell me that he was out with some of his friends (other young educated white people) and he got a rise out of them by telling them that he was voting for Obama. He told me they were racist, I asked him how he knew, and he gave me that look that said; come on field....and I knew exactly what he meant. Young, white, educated, living in a Northeastern city, and they would never vote for a black man. If they feel that way, what's a poor uneducated old white guy living in Appalachia supposed to do? This is why I still feel that my run might be safe. This is why, in spite of her great strides as a nation, I still get so discomposed when I think of some of the shit that goes on here.

Look, if you are not going to vote for the O man because you really believe that his policies are fucked up, well then more power to you. But if you aren't going to vote for him because you just can't stand the thought of that nappy headed family putting their nappy heads on your White House pillows, well then you represent the very worst that this country has to offer. And you make it possible for angry black men who are supposedly living the A-merry-can dream, to have a blog where they can express themselves in clear unambiguous terms how fucked up this country can be to people who really don't have a voice.

So what should we expect tomorrow? I suspect that we will see a huge turnout on both sides, and I suspect that we will be in for a long day. But at the end of the day, whatever happens, it will be historic. When I see stories like this, I damn near tear up just thinking about the significance of what is transpiring in our midst.

So O man, I gotta give it to you; you just might have put some egg on this field Negro's face (don't get any ideas Drudge), and proved me wrong about the qualities of the A-merry-can people and our ability to reach deep down inside and connect to to our better selves.

Good luck tomorrow, and please tell your Obamaholics to behave if you win; or, for that matter, if you lose.

*Now a quick note about the elections here in Philly:

*If you are a felon, you can vote. Here in Pa. that's true even if you are on probation or parole.

*If you lost your home to foreclosure you can still vote, but you must fill out a form at the polling station.

*Even if you didn't vote in the last election, you can still vote. (You have five years of inactivity before you can be removed from the rolls)

*Polls open here in Pa. at [*6:AM in New Jersey] 7:00AM and close at 8:PM. Thanks Ayana.

*If you have outstanding warrants or parking tickets etc. go and vote. Nothing will happen to you.

*If you are voting for the first time you will be asked to show a valid ID. If you don't happen to have one on you fill out a provisional ballot. (Valid ID is driver's license,passport, military ID,current utility bill, current bank statement, or a government check.

Now go out and VOTE!!!

Drudged!

Poor Fatimah Ali, she is a columnist here in Philly, and she took on the 2 million hits a day man, also known as Matt Drudge, and lost. Drudge, that slimy little rethuglican cretin, who looks like he doesn't wear anything under his trench coat and flashes little school girls, distorted a post by Ms. Ali, and posted it on his site for all the world to see. He flashed the headlines that Philly writer predicts race war if Obama loses (or something like that) and caused all hell break loose for the poor lady. Every racist in A-mery-ca was flooding her inbox with nasty and threatening e-mails.

The truth is, Ms. Ali actually wrote about a race AND "class" war in trying to sum up the mood of the country. ( "If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness - and hopelessness!") But of course Sludge being Sludge, only chose to write about the race part of her editorial. An editorial, by the way, which I happened to disagree with. Not because I don't think there should be a race and class are against the mofos in power, but because most A-merry-cans are too happy and dumb to give a fuck. Poor black and white people who should be uniting around each other, and fighting for common goals, allow slick politricksters to divide them along racial lines to serve their own best interests.

So anyway, now the poor woman has been forced to write this:

"AT LEAST 2 million readers visit DrudgeReport.com daily, and, for the last two weeks, it seemed like most of them were steamed at me.

Thousands of hostile messages flooded my e-mail after my Sept. 2 column that the Daily News called "We Need Obama, Not 4 More Years of George Bush."
Drudge cleverly headlined it: "Philadelphia columnist warns if McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race war."

I stand by the column - but after all of that backlash, I realize I was dead wrong. We don't have to wait until after the election for a race war. We're in one now.
I know that putting the words "race" and "war" together is like hurling an incendiary device. But I wasn't issuing a call to arms, it was a metaphorical prediction.

I hate violence, but I do see a growing wave of intolerance sweeping the nation. And most of the responses were hostile, like one from someone who identified himself as Dennis Van Pelt: "Obama runs like a porch monkey in Alabama during a KKK concert." But, not all white Southerners feel like Dennis. Russ Nelson wrote: "I am a white male who was proud to cast my vote for Barack Obama in the Alabama state primary. He inspires me!"

Nelson sounds more like the liberal whites I grew up with in West Mount Airy, a community that pioneered integration in Philadelphia and kept me wearing rose-colored glasses. I didn't personally experience racism until I was 40, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks...'

The recent onslaught of hate mail I received is a cruel reminder that racism is a like a simmering pot ready to boil over. But it's diametrically opposed to what democracy should represent.

I move in diverse circles and was raised in an upper-middle-class family with parents who exposed us to a wide range of experiences. My family includes several races and religions and a range of political views.

But from what I've been seeing lately, including the reaction to my column, the racial, economic, cultural and religious divides are getting wider. Most of the 2,000 negative responses used language so foul my ears curled...."

More here.



Ms. Ali, I know a little about Mt. Airy; it is one of the most beautiful and diverse communities in A-merry-ca. But Ms. Ali, you ain't in Mt. Airy anymore, you are in A-merry-ca now, and there won't be any race war. The only wars that are being faught are being carried out by people like Drudge and the folks at FAKE NEWS. They are fighting against truth, and they are hoping that the rest of A-merry-cans will stay blind and never see it.

"You Go Girl!"

Ms. O is currently my field Negro of the day. Ironically, it's for something completely different than what I am going to post about.

Now let me be clear; I have killed Ms. O in the past. Primarily for her weak ass book club and the phony picayune authors she has trotted out to us. But today I have come to praise her O ness. Today, I am a fan. Today, l will be like the rest of her millions of adoring subjects, and say, "You go Girl."

Why am I so happy? Because Ms. O (at least for now) said no to the beauty queen. Ms. O stood by her principles, and refused to let this poor excuse for a human being spread her putrid beliefs to her audience, and the rest of A-merry-ca. This, in spite of various outlets and pundits telling her to reconsider her position. Think of the ratings they say, you could win back conservative women who abandoned you after you supported Obama, they say; and on and on.

But so far you have stood your ground. ( I love how you got with [sl]Drudge] You don't need the beauty queen on your couch, or the ratings that her appearance would bring. Honestly, Ms. O, you don't need the money. You could retire and run off to your own private island with your boy Stud-man, and tell A-merry-ca to kiss your rather ample ass. So don't give in. I am sick of people with power and influence in this country selling out. (If I were "like Mike", I would probably shoot myself. What a phony!) It's nice to see someone stand up for what they believe in for once. Ms. O, we all know you supported his "O" ness, so how can you help his opponent get more votes? Hell, I am just starting to forgive you for putting the frat boy on your show and helping him get over the top. Don't make that mistake again. A-merry-ca can't afford four more years of a wise cracking intellectual lightweight. One was enough.

The Field Negroes Take On The News

I swear I wanted to blog about Barack again today but.....hey, I still don't know what to say about the brother.

Still, there is lots to take about given all the stuff in the news over the past few days.

I want to start with my man the frat boy, and his visit down into the heart of Dixie yesterday. (I told you so) There he was getting in the invariable hug with a suffering black person or family, (See Kanye, George Bush really does care about black people) and making sure all the news papers caught him giving that oh so endearing and christian like hug. I feel your pain, I really do, even if you are black. Give me a fu****g break, why didn't he go down to New Orleans like that? And don't tell me about all the water down below. He is the f*****g President, he could have landed on top of the Superdome if he wanted to. So yeah, that pissed me off. But hey, I guess we all know whose President he really is. Unless of course you want a picture. Say cheese black folks!

I see white supremacist gangs are on the rise, especially out in Cali. Now that's some scary sh**. Where are the Panthers when you need them? And speaking of white supremacist gangs, I am sure every one has heard by now what the "camel neck" one said to a group of republican conservatives over the weekend. Seems she dropped the "F" word to applause while referring to Senator John Edwards. (I wonder if Tim Hardaway was there?) Now there is so much I could say about the "camel neck one", but I won't, I am sure other bloggers have and will continue to take her to task for her ignorant ass homophobic rant. So enough of her. Besides, I think she is just a whore for publicity. She gets off on this stuff more than I hear she likes to get off on... I better stop, I don't want to get sued by the camel neck one. You have to prove malice when you are suing as a public official, and with me, that standard won't be hard for her to meet.

Laugh at Al. Gore and ignore global warming at your own risk. And now a story from Alaska, where it seems the oyster beds are being assailed by bacteria that was previously only found in warm waters. Yes I agree with Al. Gore, global warming is a real threat, and it is primarily caused by mans abuse of the planet. So call me a tree hugging weenie if you want to, but I want the world to be here in 100 years, and I don't even have any fu****g kids.

So let me get this straight, anti- Kremlin protesters are beaten in St. Petersburg, yet another Russian critic is shot (the third to be either shot or poisoned recently)this time right here in the United States. Putin continues to centralize power, strip away human rights and build the Russian army. All the while the frat boy and this administration sleeps at the wheel, and acts as if the only threat we face is from islamo terrorist.

Oh, and did I mention that the Taliban is gaining strength in Afghanistan?And now we seem to be feuding with our main partners in the region, the Pakistanis. Apparently a U.S. General, Douglas Lute, said that our forces can chase the Taliban into Pakistan. Not so, said Pakistani Major Genral Waheed Arshad on behalf of the Pakistan army. "There is no authorization for hot pursuit" Mmmmm. Advise to the frat boy, dead eye Dick, and the bad perm lady: Get the hell out of Iraq, and refocus on other hot spots in the world before it's too late.

One of the things I hate most is a hypocrite. Which is why I tend to despise conservatives and the flag wavers from the republican party. Now consider the conditions at Walter Reed, and the deplorable conditions that these brave soldiers have been having to endure after their great sacrifice for this country. Now the republicans and those in the frat boy's administration are acting as if they didn't realize that the conditions were so bad. Yeah give me a break. Walter Reed was one of the bases scheduled for closing, and the facilities were to be privatized for profit. Now the frat boy is scheduled to set up a bi-partisan commission to investigate, the secretary of the Army has been fired, and there is enough outrage to go around for everybody. ~~~that sound you hear is me puking~~ Give me a fu****g break with this. I have read a couple of good stories on blogs about this, and I have spoken about my brother in law before on this blog, and about all the suffering he has had to go through since he returned with an injury from Iraq. And I am sure there are many other stories like his. But the flag wavers and chicken hawks didn't want to hear these stories, because it didn't fit their talking points about the war effort. All I can say is; thank you Washington Post for exposing this story. And folks, the next time you think the so called main stream media is obsolete, just imagine what kind of world we would have if only the likes of Fox News and Drudge gave us our news.

I see both Barack and Hilary gave nice speeches today in Selma. Both courting the black vote, both hoping they can pole well going into states like South Carolina where there is a huge percentage of black votes in the democratic primary. I think Barack ought to thank that lying ignoramus, Sean Insanity, over at the Fake News network,and that house negro, Erik Rush he trotted out last week. You remember Erik don't you. Mr. Rush was the one who said Barack belonged to a separatist church and Mr. Insanity, who has never seen a lie that he doesn't like, was quick to jump on a faux story. This helped to mobilize blacks behind Barack because they saw it as an unnecessary attack on one of their own, and because damn near 90% of black folks belong to a church exactly like the one Obama is a member of. Poor Hilary, she must really hate those right wingers over at Fox now, because they just gave Barack a serious bump in the poles. Memo to my so called progressive friends, this is what happens when you don't really know black folks.

Glad they caught the guy in Michigan who cut up his wife, and said she left with some guy in a dark sedan. Hey, at least he didn't say she left with a dark guy in a sedan. Remember that Smith lady in South Carolina, and that guy up in Boston? Both high profile cases where the perp lied on us brothers.

I just saw the video where these ignorant ass Negroes down in Texas were teaching a two year old and a five year old how to smoke the ganja. Are you kidding me? Sometimes I swear we don't love our children.

I'm out.
