Monkey throws
feces at Obama policies
He defends torture - but it's not torture
Excerpt:
Der Simian Fuhrer fired a salvo at Obama on Wednesday,
asserting his torture policies were within the law,
declaring the private sector, not government,
will fix the economy and rejecting the nationalization of health care.
"I know it's going to be the private sector that
leads this country out of the current economic times we're in,"
the idiot said to applause from other idiots.
"You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money."
Repeatedly in his hourlong speech and question-and-answer
session, Mr. Monkey said he would not directly
criticize Obama but he would hurl his own feces
at him from time to time. Several times, however, he took
direct aim at Obama policies as he defended his
own during his eight torturous years in office.

Forget about
bipartisanship
by Gene Lyons
Excerpt:
Obama was elected with perhaps the best chance
in a generation to reform America's unjust and grotesquely inefficient
health care system. To do so, however, he'll
have to conquer not only entrenched special interests like the insurance
and
pharmaceutical industries and the American Medical
Association, but his own sentimental rhetoric about bipartisanship.
According to David Broder, "The president has
told visitors that he would rather have 70 votes in the Senate for a bill
that
gives him 85 percent of what he wants rather
than a 100 percent satisfactory bill that passes 52 to 48." That kind of
talk
gets a certain kind of Beltway pundit purring
like a house cat on a windowsill.
It's a mistake anyway. As the source for this
heartwarming anecdote presumably was Sen. Charles Grassley R-Iowa,
who recently dispatched a peevish Twitter message
complaining about Obama's "sightseeing" while visiting France to
commemorate D-Day, perhaps it needn't be taken
too seriously...
In a column for politico.com, our bipartisan friend
Grassley recently wrote that should it be enacted, "as many as 119
million Americans would shift from private coverage
to the government plan." That, in turn, would "put America on the
path toward a completely governmentrun health
care system. . . . Eventually, the government plan would overtake the entire
market."
Translation: The public plan must be stopped because
it would be too good; private insurance companies simply
couldn't compete. Really, could they be any sillier?
One minute they're yelling that Medicare costs are busting the
budget; the next they're freaking out about how
controlling costs will lead to rationing."
Why are doctors fighting to keep this broken system?
I know why BIG insurance and BIG Pharm are fighting it - they're making
millions
while screaming "Poverty," but what's the doctors' excuse?.

Subject: Can right-wing hate talk lead to murder?
Normally when someone like Limbaugh dips his pail
further into the cesspool than usual,
and is subsequently criticized, the wingnuts
begin to loudly blat and bleat about Freedom of Speech,
which is all well and good, but there are still
questions that should be asked.
An example would be when does the repetition of
an accusation presented as fact become less an "idea"
than a subversive brain washing technique?
What is the difference between healthy "debate" and "indoctrination"?
O'Reilly is (typically) refusing to accept any
responsibility for this Tiller murder and had Glenn Beck
on his show to discuss the situation.They both
concluded that it was the guy who "pulled the trigger"
who must bear responsibility for the killing
and him alone.
Following this logic,we must also admit that Hitler,
who although given to some *cough* "curious" ideas,
never actually personally laid a hand on anyone
during WW2, and therefore must have been innocent.

Subject: Obama
Obama may be on his way to being the most hated
president in history.
The scorn and vitriol of the right-wing
nutbags is nothing compared to what
will be heaped upon him by liberals and moderates
if their hopes for change are dashed.
I hope Obama knows he's skating on very thin ice
with the people who stepped up to support him.
If he fails to keep his promises - or at
least explain why he cannot - he will end up being 'most hated.'
His only consolation will be that Bush will still
hold the record as 'worst president ever.'
Joanne from Wisconsin ...
You make a good point.
That illogical gushing over Obama last year could turn to illogical
hatred in a heartbeat.
To this day I don't understand what happened to the Democrats in 2008.
Does anybody?
I saw Harry Shearer on the Tonight Show and my first thoughts were about
what a total
bastard and piece of shit he was towards the Clintons last year - and
I always liked the guy..
The Clintons didn't deserve any of the illogical hatred that was spewed
by Randi, Schultz,
Maddow, Olbermann and the other pillars of the Left
Richard Belzer is another one - we drove from DC to Baltimore in 1998
hoping to get
his autograph on the set of Homicide, now I can hardly stand
the son of a bitch.
He sat in for Randi last summer and his hateful anti-Clinton rants
sounded just like Randi's.
Bob Parry, one of the best guys on our team, went completely bat-shit
insane last year
Who can explain what we went thru in 2008?
The Clintons stood in the way of Obama getting in the White House so
they had to be destroyed.
They had to be made into racists for Obama to get to the White House
so at this point, let's hope
Obama never becomes a victim of that craziness from which he benefitted
so much.

Barney Frank rips Obama
Excerpt:
Barney Frank, one of the nation’s leading gay
rights champions, blasted Obama yesterday over a
controversial anti-gay marriage court filing
and is calling on Obama to explain himself.
"I think he made a big mistake. The wording they
used was inappropriate," Frank said of a brief filed by Obama’s
Department of Justice that supported the Defense
of Marriage Act. The DOJ brief, which has touched off a firestorm
of anger in the gay community, argued that states
should not have to recognize same-sex marriages from other states,
just as states don’t have to recognize incestuous
marriages or unions involving underage girls.
When will Obama catch up to Ted Olson on gay rights?

Night of the living neocons
Excerpt:
Like Rasputin, the unhinged "Mad Monk" whom they
sometimes seem to have adopted as an intellectual role model,
the neoconservatives who brought us the Iraq
war refuse to die. Although they have been figuratively stabbed, poisoned,
shot, garroted and drowned, they somehow keep
standing, still insisting that history will vindicate Bush's glorious crusade.
In a world governed by the Victorian moral code
conservatives claim to uphold, they would be shunned, shamed and forbidden
to appear on television or write Op-Ed columns.
But because Beltway decorum apparently requires that disgraced pundits
be
given a permanent platform to bray their discredited
theories, the rest of us are condemned to listen to their ravings.
What caused the neocons and their fellow travelers
on the right to sit up in their coffins this time is the almost certainly
rigged
Iran election and the massive unrest that has
roiled the country in its aftermath. Outraged that Obama has not behaved
like
their hero Bush and begun loudly rattling his
saber, the neocons have denounced him as -- you guessed it -- an appeaser.
In a piece titled "Obama's Iran Abdication,"
the Wall Street Journal's editorial page, that bastion of unreconstructed
neocon
lunacy, attacked Obama for not supporting the
Iranian protesters more vigorously and derided his "now-familiar moral
equivalence"
in citing the 1953 CIA-backed coup that toppled
Iranian leader Mohammad Mossadegh. In an Op-Ed two days earlier, the paper's
Visigothic editors, who have been calling for
the U.S. to bomb Iran for years, took the opportunity to climb into the
Wayback
Machine to pay homage to one of George W. Bush's
greatest hits. "It turns out that the 'axis of evil' really is evil --
and not,
as liberal sages would have it, merely misunderstood,"
sneered the editors, suggesting that the crackdown should make
Obama rethink trying to strike a grand nuclear
bargain with Iran.

Subject: Letterman
I actually think Letterman's joke was pretty funny.
Palin's pissed off because she knows that her
underage daughter got pregnant right under her nose.
Palin is a conservative 'abstinence only' idiot
whose daughter got knocked up at 16 - and then she
tried to turn the whole thing to her political
advantage.
Letterman's joke did not, in my view, promote
underage sex or pregnancy, or suggest that it would be funny
if Palin's daughter got pregnant. It skewered
two famous people for their questionable morality and character.
If either of the Palin parents had taught their
daughter about birth control and had paid attention to what she
was doing instead of advancing their careers
and snowmobiling or whatever, there would be no joke.
Now, Sarah is making a big show of protecting
her daughter, but when Bristol was sixteen and having sex,
that protection was nowhere to be found.

Dear Bart,
I hated it when John Lennon retracted his "more
popular than Jesus" remark.
I hated it when the Rolling Stones changed the
words of "Let's spend the night together"
to satisfy the overweening
moralists of the Ed Sullivan Show.
I hated it when Bill Clinton said "I did not
have sexual relations with that woman."
I hated it when Phelps ate humble pie over his
bong photo.
I hate it everytime someone knuckles under to
self-righteous moral authority -- it was
someone who refused to knuckle under who put
an end to the McCarthy disgrace.
I hate it now that Letterman felt he needed to
apologize to Palin. He should have said
"Get off your moral high horse, the joke wasn't
aimed at your 14 year old daughter."
The world would be a better place if 10% more
people had 50% of your moral courage, Bart.
Johnny "Fuck the Pope" Rojo
God Bart, I don't get it.
I've always been a huge fan of Letterman, but
why did he take this lying down?
He made a joke about an adult girl, his writers
just got screwed up about which
ignorantly named girl was at the ballgame.
Why not have his writers scour other
comedy shows for quotes about the daughters that
Palin never protested?
And where was all this outrage from NOW and protests
in front of
Limbaugh's studios when Rush was calling Chelsea
Clinton a dog?

this.
How sad would it be for Palin to end Letterman's career?

Pope deplores
priest/child sex
He's almost willing to do something
about it
Excerpt:
Pope Benny the Rat deplored priests who were
unfaithful to their vows and called Thursday for a
"frank and complete acknowledgment" of the Catholic
Church's weakness in a letter to priests around the globe.
The letter was the first public statement from
Benedict since that Irish commission issued a report last month detailing
"endemic" molestation and rape at church-run
boys' facilities and ritualized beatings at girls' schools from the 1930s
until they got caught in the 1990s.
Benedict didn't specifically address the clerical
sex abuse scandal that has convulsed the church in the United States,
Ireland and elsewhere. But he was clearly referring
to the scandal in saying there had been 'situations which can never
be sufficiently deplored where the church herself
suffers as a consequence of infidelity on the part of some of her ministers.'
What a fraud this Pope is.
*I* am more Christ-like than he is.
...and until recently, I was smarter than the president of the United
States.

It just doesn't make sense. If seeing Obama act

HBO Censors Artie Lange
Link with video
Excerpt:
In the first episode, Joe Buck become the butt
of his own show's jokes.
Artie Lange "hijacked" Joe Buck Live, according
to the New York Whore Times.
When Buck announced that celebrity gossip site
TMZ was his favorite website, Lange shot back:
"Joe, TMZ is your favorite website?
What's your second, suckingcock.com?"
It was super-stupid for Buck to say that and Lange's
comment was off-color - but it was damn funny.
Lange's used to working in an atmosphere
of freedom - which once included HBO.
In a move decried as homophobic, (That's
an opinion, that's not accurate reporting.
I saw the tape - if you saw a more inclusive
tape than the one I saw, then say so.)
Lange then let his wrist fall limp, put on an
accent, and said,
"I'm on TMZ constantly, did you see what Angelina
was wearing today?"
What the fuck, how about going to a sports website
for Christ's sake?"
Oh no!
A comedian said something that somebody didn't
like?
And how dare Lange suggest that Joe Buck concentrate
on sports instead of bullshit celebrity gossip?
Lange even admitted to being a homophobe, to which Buck responded, "clearly."
Lange "admitted" that he was a homophope the way Jack Benny "admitted"
he was cheap.
F-ing Christ - am I the last sane man on the planet?
"As a Giants fan, and a well-known homophobic,"
Lange said, "it's like a white trash gift from god
that the fucking Cowboys have a quarterback whose
last name rhymes with homo."
I didn't see the live version but HBO censors Artie Lange in their repeats - why?
I like Lange and I thought his remarks were funny.
I don't think Artie is really homophobic,
but he thinks "fag" is funny and his goal in
life is to let everyone know he's not gay.
I'm guessing it's a Brooklyn thing, like calling
women "broads."
They allowed Brett Favre to say "shit," but Artie
can't say the f-word?
Was HBO purchased by Pat Robertson or something?
And why ask Artie on the show if everyone has
to behave like there's nuns in the room?
Maybe Joe Buck should stick to safe comedians
...like Rich Little.
Joe Buck Quotes
"I thought that spending time on a treadmill
felt long.
That was like 8 or 9 minutes that turned
into an eternity.
Do I think it went too far? Yes. Will
he be back? If it's up to me, no." Link
Joe Buck, guardian of middle-American virtue,
might be the most boring person in America.
Before Artie came on, the show was on a pace
to win an Emmy for "most boring show ever."
The show was so bad, Artie Lange saved it and
got people talking about it.
Hey Joe, better ban Chris Rock and Wanda Sykes.
They might say something that offends your virgin
ears, too.
And nobody is saying that the audience was laughing - they had a great
time
even if Mr Boring thought the comedy lasted for an eternity.
Reprise
I watched the offensive show again last night.
Artie picked up a cigarette and Joe Buck had
a f-ing cow.
"Stop! You can't do that!"
...and Artie said (my words) "I'm not going to f-ing light it. It's just for show"
My first ever memories of HBO include the movie
Deliverance.
That movie included a very graphic man-on-man
rape scene.
I don't mean to differentiate a man-on-man-rape
scene with a "regular" rape scene,
but as a man, I have no other reference with
which to frame it.
Anyone remeber OZ?
HBO has no problem with man-on-man rape, but the smoking of cigarettes
will NOT be tolerated.
So my question is - why is man-on-rape rape more
acceptable than Artie Lange's language
or the smoking of a goddamn cigarette - and I'm
no friend to f-ing cigarettes - it makes no sense.
What does make sense is there's some anti-Stern handjob at HBO who wants comedy suppressed.
Isn't that sad?
When HBO lables comedy unacceptable for
us to see?
HBO - We broadcast what Bush and Rove think
is acceptable.
Last thing - somebody is lying.
Artie said Buck hugged him after the show ands said, "Great
job - thanks!"

Subject: can pot wean someone off of cigarettes?
Yes,
Donald M
I think it did for me.
May not make it true, but I think it is and it
did. I smoked for about 20 years, both pot and cigarettes.
Jan. 3rd of 2007 I quit smoking cigarettes (again).
One of the “things” I used to keep me sane was pot.
It was nice to know that if I wanted to light
up, I could, and feel better because I was participating in a ritual of
smoking.
The high was a nice addition as wellJ.
I smoked considerably more pot the first 6 months after quitting, and have
now
tapered down to a few times a week or so, depending
on funds, availability, etc etc. Plus, I’ve read that the THC
can help prevent some cancers – another benefit
of god’s flower! Anyway – I think it helped…but maybe I’m just high
J
Dennis in Portland
I've never been addicted to cigarettes so I can't say
but sometimes I just feel like a lung-full of smoke, and I can get
that from pot.
If a lung cancer smoker craves a lung-full of smoke,
what's so wrong about a lung-full of smoke that will make him happier?
If there's a reason why pot is bad, why can't some body list it?
It can be useful, depending on role cigarettes
play in your life. The physical addiction of nicotine goes away in
72 hours.
After that, the desire to smoke is a combination
of habit and atrophied stress management skills. Smoking a joint
instead
of a cigarette is about the smallest adjustment
you could ask for. But it may weaken resolve - so I wouldn't recommend
it
for anyone who is quitting reluctantly. For
those people, I'd recommend mixing progressively smaller amounts of
tobacco
into your pot until you're happy with none. Or
forget you like smoking, whichever comes first.
-Rex Devious
Bart, I stopped smoking cigarettes two months
ago, when the price went up yet again. I've smoked for a lot of years both
cigarettes and weed. The weed is getting me though
it so far. I put them down, (cigarettes) and haven't cheated
not once.
When I really want to smoke one I do, but its
not tobacco. It takes away the craving and makes you feel like you haven't
really given up everything. I smoke a little
more weed but I can afford it because I'm not paying for cigarettes.
When out in the world, I chew gum.
Lin
Bart, I quit smoking cigarettes in 1977 after
fifteen years of a pack a day habit. I continued to smoke pot however.
By smoking pot, I was able to quit cigarettes
cold-turkey. I finally had to quit smoking pot when I lost my job in a
random drug test a few years later. I haven’t
had a toke ever since. I’m retiring in a few years and I plan to start
smoking the herb again. Fuck the law!

Need to take a sudden trip?
The first set of tickets expires in 30 days and I'll be damned if we
give up a free trip to anywhere just because we're low on money.
Anyone got any suggestions where we should go?
I'll bet Carmel, California is nice in the summer.

Letterman and Young Sluts
Excerpt:
There goes the theory about the truth being funny.
As we all remember, it was not an overgrown ball player
that made Bristol lousy with child; it was a
horny 18 year old puck pounder, so the premise remains pretty accurate.
There is a fine line between a hockey slut and
a ball whore and I’m sure most if it has to do with temperature and location.
From the first whiff of this story, I thought
Letterman should have kept quiet. Clearly this woman was just egging him
on
for a little airtime. Had he not responded to
her accusations, he would have deprived her the attention she so desperately
craves.
Instead, he lamely copped to her allegation.
You can almost pinpoint the exact moment where Letterman’s soul dies as
he makes
this absurd apology. It’s ugly to watch someone
who has made a career out of irreverence cow towing to a congenital idiot.
If anyone should be demanding an apology, it’s
Letterman, who was slandered by the attention seeking governor
when she darkly insinuated that Letterman
was some sort of child-diddling pedophile, a claim not at all based in
reality,
unlike Letterman’s joke. That’s
the sort of statement that spurs lawsuits, as it is rather damaging to
one’s character.
Letterman’s mere joke in no way defamed
Bristol Palin, at least not any more than her mother’s VP run, which exploited
most of the Palin clan for fun and profit.

What is the bonus?
It's a tag-team ambush by Howard Stern and Robin.
One of their employees got a word wrong - traction -
and they jumped on him and tortured him for twelve minutes
.
I don't know of any other comic or comic team that could've pulled
this off.
It was live, it was spontaneous and it was amazing.
If you know someone who says Stern has no talent - play this for them.
It's the hardest I've laughed this year - I hope you like it.
