Palin Hijacks Teabaggers

 Link

 Excerpt:
The tea party movement is dead. The one I was familiar with anyway. 
Judson Phillips held it down and Sarah Palin drove a stake right through its heart 
live Saturday night on C-Span in front of an unsuspecting audience.

Sarah Palin didn’t give a tea party speech last night. She gave a partisan Republican address. 
It was a purely political speech designed to position her for a presidential run in 2012 or 2016. 
Period. 
She wasn’t there to celebrate the organic nature of a movement she had nothing to do with creating. 
She was there to co-opt the name and claim the brand as hers. And she did.

The movement, that came to be officially recognized almost a year ago but whose roots go back 
further than that, has been snuffed out and replaced in the public mind. The movement that began as 
a people’s movement of angry independent, libertarians and conservatives will now be thought as 
the movement of people like Palin, Dick Armey, Judson Phillips, Mark Skoda, etc. a wholly owned 
subsidiary of the “Official Conservative Movement” and the Republican Party.
 

The Teabaggers must've known they were hiring an airheaded Republican when they 
offered her $100,000 to give a speech that sounded like Bush talking (not a compliment.)

Subject: f-ing torture

Bart,
 
I'm absolutely opposed to waterboarding because;
1. It doesn't make the waterboardee give more or better information, in fact it does the opposite.
2. It is extremely cruel.
3. It doesn't work. (see 1.)
4. It makes us the bad guys.
5. It doesn't work. (see 1.)
6. It means we're OK with it being done to our troops.
7. It doesn't fucking work.
8. Monkey boy masturbates to it.
 
Besides that, it doesn't work and produces no results except for more hatred directed toward the U.S.
 
Oh, did I mention it doesn't work? Well, it doesn't. Not at all. Ever.
Keep hammering!
 Steve
 

I don't know why people claim torture doesn't work.
Of course it works - just not every time.

You can't give up information you don't have
but if you have the info, you'll give it up in a heartbeat.

If you have the combination to a safe and I have knitting needles,
I'll have that combination in less than five minutes so torture does work

Why do people say torture doesn't work?
Because that's the Democratic auto-response?

Recognizing the fact that torture often works is merely recognizing a fact.
It doesn't make you pro-torture to admit that torture often works.

Saying torture never works is like saying coercion doesn't work,
or blackmail doesn't work, or twisting arms doesn't work.

Geez, implied torture works.
If you show me a waterboard, I'm going to tell what I know - all of it.

(I hope that didn't sound like an attack.)

Jack Ruby's Telegram

I saw a program on Discovery about Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald.

They proved, at least to my satisfaction, that Jack Ruby didn't pre-plan to shoot Oswald.
Oswald was shot at 11:21 on that Sunday in Dallas.

But at 11:17, a block and a half away, Ruby sent $25 to some guy at exactly 11:17.

 Link

 Excerpt:
11:17 AM  Western Union clerk: Stamped this time on the telegram Ruby sent to Little Lynn for $25. 
Ruby probably arrived a few minutes prior to this time. Ruby left immediately. (13 H 222)

If you had a historical murder to get to, would you stop for a $25 matter with 240 seconds to go?

They also said it was weird how history plays out.
As they were getting ready to move Oswald to the County Jail, he was a little chilly
(It was November) so Oswald asked for a sweater.  It took several minutes to locate 
a sweater for him and that delay allowed Ruby to cross paths with Oswald.

Ruby showed up just seconds before Oswald appeared. Had Oswald not been chilly, 
Ruby would've been late and Oswald might be rotting in a Texas prison today.

Last thing - have you ever heard my Ruby audio?

I taped this off a TV in 1978.

Ruby says, "The world will never know the true facts of what occured, my motives, etc.
I'm the ONLY person who knows the truth but it will never come out because these people 
have so much to gain and had such an alterior motive to put me in the position I'm in,
they'll never let the true facts out to the world."

Asked "Are these people in very high positions?  (government?) Ruby replies "Yes."

So, was Ruby lying in his only interview?

The timeline suggests he was.

Subject: f-ing Vegas?

Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has a tendancy to exaggerate and use bizarre statements to get noticed.  
I don’t think it's an ego thing because he’s drawing attention to a topic, not himself.

He mentioned putting graffiti taggers in public stocks.  Until he said that no one was paying attention to the problem.  
Goodman is a good Democrat and certainly had no real intention of using public stocks but suddenly people were talking about it.

He got attention to the homeless sleeping in the city parks by making a huge deal out of 
a campaign to ban them from those parks.  It got people to talk about the subject again.

Vegas is not the evil place where people come to throw away their money.  
It is the place people come to be entertained by spending their money.

A lot of people don’t know how to gamble, but they also don’t play golf as well as they think they do either. 

Ever owned a boat?  It’s a hole in the water you pour your money in. 
Just as bad an investment as a trip to Vegas.  No really worse as you might get lucky in Vegas.
 Ole zenferret – going home to Vegas eventually

Palin Writing on her Hand

 

 Link     

 Excerpt:
Close inspection of a photo of Sarah Palin, during a speech in which she mocked Obama for his use 
of a teleprompter, reveals several notes written on her left hand. The words "Energy", "Tax" and 
"Lift American Spirits" are clearly visible. 

Sarah Palin knew that speech like the back of her hand. 
The Q&A answers, however, were on the front of her hand.

Or so it appeared.

During the Q&A following her speech at the Tea Party Convention, 
Ms. Palin appeared to read from her hand in answering.  (See Video)

Subject: Lost Decade Revealed 

With the latest revisions, a clearer picture of the financial collapse emerges. 

As Obama took office in January of 2009, the economy shed 779 thousand jobs. 
It would continue to shed jobs at a 700k+ rate in both February and March. 
Over the entire decade, 421k jobs were lost, net. See chart. 
In contrast, over Clinton's term, twenty-three million jobs were created.

Best Superbowl Commercial 2010

Is Fried Chicken Racist?
 Jimmy Fallon's drummer says "yes"

 Link

 Excerpt:
Poor Leslie Calhoun, chef at NBC's 30 Rock headquarters. The black cook thought she was paying 
homage to her race by hanging a sign up that read: "In Honor of Black History Month," followed by a 
yummy menu of fried chicken, collard Greens w/smoked turkey, white rice w/black eyed peas, and 
jalapeno cornbread. Seems pretty innocent and festive, right? Well, not according to "Questlove" Thompson,
the drummer for the Jimmy Fallon show, who apparently equates fried chicken with the "N" word.
 

Why can't a Black person like fried chicken?

Remember Magic Johnson at Michael Jackson's funeral?  He said he was hanging with MJ 
at mealtime and MJ asked Magic what his personal chef could prepare for Magic's supper.

Magic said he'd like a grilled chicken dinner, which he got, but Michael got KFC.
Was it racist of Michael to order KFC?  Of course not.

In most cases, racism depends on the intent of the user.
If the vulgar Pigboy did Jesse Jackson fried chicken jokes, that would be racist
because his intention is to show you how stupid "those people" are.

I doubt that the Black chef at NBC was trying to insult anybody.
Pigboy, however, lives by the racial slur - that's why he's super-rich.

Republicans like being told that it's OK to hate and mock Blacks.
Hate is the glue that holds the GOP together.

 Excerpt:
Senate Republicans don’t have much of an appetite to give Obama their version 
of question-and-answer time - not after seeing how Obama handled House Monkeys last week. 

"We’re always happy to hear from the president, but I don’t really feel any compelling need 
to do it [on camera]," Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the Republicans' chief campaign strategist, told Politico. 

The White House has suggested that it would like Obama to address the Senate GOP Conference, 
with TV cameras present. Obama officials are eager for voters to see Obama operate in a format 
he relishes - and manhandle the Senate Monkeys the same way he did last week to House Monkeys. 

Asked about the White House invitation to Senate Republicans, Cornyn said: "For what purpose? 
Was it for photo op or is it serious? The president can invite Mitch the Bitch and his Boehner or 
anybody he wants for a serious talk about issues."

Subject: Do we have a problem with waterboarding the certainly guilty?

Yeah. We do. Because once you do it to one, you've slipped into the abyss. 
And then you find excuses to do it to the next guy and the next guy and suddenly 
you're doing it to people who 'might' be guilty, or 'might' know something.  

But we know the two I mentioned were certainly guilty.

Torture is never the answer and never the right thing to do. 
It only brings us down to their level.  

I'd say torture is very, very rarely the answer.

And besides, any information you get is going to be dubious at best. Why? 
Probably because the guy made up something just to get you to stop.

Writers Wanted

In this Bush Depression, more people are staying home and watching Free TV.
I'd like some volunteers to write about three TV shows.  The more writers the better.

Americal Idol gets serious tomorrow night.

Survivor Heroes vs Villians starts Thursday.

The Amazing Race starts Sunday.

In your weekly report, tell us what happened but add lots of opinion.
"I like this girl and here's why" and "I hate this guy and here's why."
"This guy choked, this girl picked the wrong song."
"Russell found the first Immunity Idol" and "Dumbass Fred lost his passport."

Each week, send me your report as text inside an e-mail.
No attachments, no fonts, no pictures - just text in your e-mail.
(I can't spend hours re-formatting your writing.)

As the weeks go by, you should eventually decide who you think will win.

And don't bother to tell me how stupid and usless these kinds of TV shows are.

Soon I'll be starting my 15th year doing  Bartcop.com  and surely one 
of the tricks to longevity is to have other interests besides politics.

Also, no sense in writing to say, "I'd like to help."
Just watch the show(s) and send your report soon after.

No minimums, no maximums, OK to skip a week etc.
Use whatever language you like but don't get gross.

People will want to write to you.
If you don't want your e-mail public, go to Yahoo or hotmail
and open an account like Mikethedealer@hotmail.com  did

This pays nothing, but you might develop a following
and that could lead to quitting your job and that's tons of fun.

Retard: Palin vs vulgar Pigboy

 Link

 Excerpt:
Sarah Palin's campaign against the derogatory usage of the word "retard" collided with her 
campaign to maintain her popularity with conservatives today, with confusing results.

So, Yahoo says there are acceptable uses of the word?

A Palin spokeswoman seemed to back away from earlier criticism of Der Pigboy. Yesterday, when asked 
for comment on Limbaugh's use of the "R" word in a recent broadcast, Palin spokeswoman said, "Palin believes 
crude and demeaning name-calling at the expense of others is disrespectful." Today, Stapleton claims the statement 
was meant generally and she was not specifically referring to the vulgar Pigboy. Still, she declined to say that Palin 
believes Limbaugh's statements were acceptable.

Pigboy had taken offense to people, presumably including Palin, protesting Rahm Emanuel's remark. On his hate show, 
Limbaugh lamented that "our political correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of 
people who are retards, retards." 

That comment caused the press to request a reaction from Palin's spokeswoman. It also caused confusion 
over whether Palin believes Limbaugh's public statements - like Emanuel's private ones - crossed the line. 

.
It's funny - she's stuck.
Palin pretends she's this populist teabagger, but she's 100% GOP Fascist dog, so she's stuck.
She can't go against Mr. GOP Pigboy, who tries so hard every day to be an ass, and keep her principles.

She's stuck - and I love it when the bad guys turn on each other.

Bart, wonderful description of her consistency, (like warm baby shit) very good, will use that 
with some of my conservative acquaintances.  As a Republican she doesn't have to be consistent, 
only able to lie about any fact, subject or make up fairy tales at the drop of a hat.

such qualities they would no longer be members of the modern republican/teabag/gasbag party.

Subject: smaller banks

Bart, you are right about these "too big to fail" banks - we let them grow and grow, 
particularly by buying up smaller banks and mergers, then we let them hit us with high fees 
and high interest rates on their credit cards.
 
Then they cry poverty to Congress.
 
Bart, I keep my money in a community bank, where the people treat you like a person, 
where there are no shenanigans going on, and where there is no "let's get bigger" mentality.
 
Just recently, Bill Maher and Arianna Huffington have been promoting an idea of having 
so much of the population move their money into smaller, community-run banks and credit unions. 
 
I can see that making sense, mostly because, as you've said, if one of the "Big Six" - 
Bank of America, Citi, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo
- should fall on their keester, it would be a disaster for us all.

You don't need to kill people like they did at Gitmo (Oh, wait, those were "suicides") to get information.

Is Harold Ford Weird?

 Link

 Excerpt:
According to the below contract, Ford demands that when his limo driver picks him up, the chauffeur must be 
carrying a sign reading "H.F.." Presumably, if the Democrat's name was spelled out, hordes of fans/groupies 
would be alerted to his impending arrival and swarm him (something that has bedeviled the Jonas Brothers). 
On the security front, if he is appearing before a packed house, Ford, 39, needs an "alternate entrance & exit 
at the venue," to, again, apparently avoid the crush of devotees.

Hillary should try to get the Democratic nomination while still acting as Secretary of State.

Obama was to come up to Connecticut and campaign for Joe Lieberman and against Ned Lamont.

I doubt Hillary has another campaign in her.

She'll retire and be "Madame Secretary" for the rest of her life,

"Congress is full of whores. Since Iowa has the first presidential primary, corn is king.
  They put corn syrup in Coke and Pepsi and corn ethanol is even used to fuel our cars.
  If the first primary was in Vermont, our cars would run on f-ing maple syrup."
      -- Bill Maher, who's coming back
 

 He's got a point about tiny states having too much power.

 Why should a senator from Oklahoma or North Dakota or Montana
 have the power to shut down health care for the other 99% of America?

 It's crazy that the senators from South Dakota and Wyoming (1M people)
 have the same voting power as the senators from New York and California. (55M people)

 History would be a lot different (and better) if the bigger, smarter states had more control.
 It's a crime that ignorant, religiously-insane farm states can make a mockery of a super-power.

Subject: Underwear Bomber might be innocent

Give me two minutes of your attention.

The man might be innocent. He could be insane, in which case he is criminally innocent. 
He could be under a death threat, in which case, he might not be technically innocent, 
but guilty of a lesser crime. He could be under the false understanding that he is working 
for the US government testing homeland security.

I'm stretching here, but the point is that the man could very well be innocent. 
Maybe he never thought he was going to hurt someone doing what he was doing. 
Maybe his family was being held hostage.

Bart, I don't know! But I know that one of the principles this country was founded on
was the presumption of innocence, and I'm not willing to throw it away so casually, 
just because it's "obvious" that someone is "guilty" of a crime 

Throwing away the presumption of innocence is a bad idea. 
What if you get accused of terrorism?
It could happen to me, too.
 Dr Babs
 

This is a great example of how to come after me if we disagree on an issue.
Dr Babs didn't set her hair on fire and call me The Great Satan.

We could probably put our heads together and come up with 500 reasons 
to go easy on these airline bombers - but why would we want to?

If a fella is forced to blow up an airliner, those people are still dead.

Like I always say about Koresh's kids or North Koreans or Iraqi kids,
some people are born into bad luck but that's no reason to go easy on murderers.

What signal are we sending to the terrorists when they hear that even if they get
caught trying to murder 300 Americans, some Democrat will plead their case?

Isn't a thoughtful response better than a dogmatic, knee-jerk response?

Oh, and if they catch *me* on a plane with explosives in my underwear
I'll be a man and accept the consequences because that won't happen.
Remember, this started when I talked about the "obviously guilty."

Thank you, Dr. Babs, for acting like an adult in this debate.

Random thought...

That Superbowl abortion commercial turned out to be nothing.
No bloody fetuses, no finger wagging, not even a mention of the "A" word.

That's probably why CBS agreed to run it - it wasn't controversial at all.
It was just Tebow's Mom saying, "We almost lost Timmy a few times."

Then, for some reason, Tebow tackled his Mom real hard.

I found many of those commercials super-stupid.
Seems like half of them were naked people or pantsless people.
I kept asking myself, "What company or product are they trying to sell?"

When you pay $2.5M for a commercial, people shouldn't have to work
to discover what the hell the point of the pantsless commercial was.
 

...and who knew Abe Vigoda was still alive?
