America's War for Reality
Will Dems fight to save America?
by Robert Parry
Link
The real struggle confronting the United States is between those who believe in reality
and those who are entranced by unreality. It is a battle that is testing whether fact-based
people have the same determination to fight for their real-world view as those who operate
in a fact-free space do in defending their illusions.
Key elements of the American Right have set up permanent residence in the world of
make-believe, making any commonsense approach to the real-world challenges nearly
politically impossible. The Right’s fantasists also have the passions of true-believers,
like a cult that gets angrier the more its views are questioned.
So, it doesn’t matter that scientific evidence proves global warming is real; the deniers will
insist the facts are simply a government ploy to impose “tyranny.” It doesn’t matter how
many schoolchildren are slaughtered by semi-automatic assault rifles – or what the real
history of the Second Amendment was. To the gun fanatics, the Framers wanted armed
rebellion against the non-violent political process they worked so hard to create.
It doesn’t matter whether Obama presents his short or long birth certificates, he must
have fabricated the records to hide his Kenyan birth. Oh, yes, and Obama is “lazy”
even though he may appear to an objective observer to be a multi-tasking workaholic.
I doubt Mitch the Bitch is the only crook making $4M a year by posing as a US senator.
As long as these guys are drowning in money, why would they change the system?

Obama has a chance to make that better - think he'll take it?
First, let's release the 845,000 imprisoned for pot "crimes."

How Pregnancy became a Crime
If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament
Link
Hundreds of women have been arrested, convicted, jailed, detained in mental institutions
or forced to endure medical procedures as a result of the "criminalisation of pregnancy"
over the last four decades, a new report has found.
Researchers from the National Advocates for Pregnant Women (NAPW) identified 413 criminal
and civil cases across 44 states involving the arrests, detentions and equivalent deprivations of
pregnant women's liberty between 1973 and 2005. NAWP said that it is aware of a further 250
cases since 2005. Both figures are likely to be underestimates, it said.
The report, found a wide range of cases in which pregnant women were arrested and detained
not only if they ended a pregnancy or expressed an intention to end a pregnancy, but also after
suffering unintentional pregnancy loss.
The cases of detention and forced medical intervention varied widely and included one in which
a judge in Ohio kept a woman imprisoned to prevent her having an abortion.
Another involved a woman in Oregon who refused a doctor's recommendation for additional
testing for gestational diabetes. She was held in a locked psychiatric ward. Another case involved
a court in Washington DC, which ordered a critically ill woman to undergo caesarian section over
her objections. Neither she nor the baby survived.
Maybe it's time women had their own Emancipation Proclamation.

Apple's 'Find My Phone' Broke
Sends people to some dude's house in Vegas
Link
Apple's "Find My iPhone" feature lets people track a lost or stolen iPhone
to make it easier to recover, and for the past two years, it's mistakenly sent
dozens of people to Wayne Dobson's house in Las Vegas.
The 59-year-old dude is no thief and now has a sign posted on his front door reading
in part, "No Lost Cell Phones." He even sleeps near the front door in order to answer
it more quickly when angry people arrive, demanding their phones back anyway.
The problem only affects Sprint (S) iPhones and Apple is investigating the cause.
"It's very difficult to say, 'I don't have your phone,' in any other way other than,
'I don't have your phone,'" he told the Las Vegas Review.

Subject: Obama is required to honor the national debt
Some people say that President Obama have the option to use the 14th Amendment to raise
the debt ceiling in case Congress fails to do so. They are wrong. Obama doesn't have an option
to raise the debt ceiling, he has a responsibility to do so.
The Constitution says, "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law,
including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing
insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned." Obama is therefore REQUIRED to raise the
debt ceiling if Congress doesn't.
It's not an option. It's something he has to do under the Constitution.

Lance Armstrong admitted to Oprah that he used performance enhancing drugs to win
the Tour de France, sources told ABC News.
A source says Armstrong is now talking with authorities about paying back some of the
US Postal Service money from sponsoring his team. He is also talking to authorities about
confessing and naming names, giving up others involved in illegal doping. This could result
in a reduction of his lifetime ban, according to the source, if Armstrong provides substantial
and meaningful information.
Armstrong made the admission in what sources describe as an emotional interview to air on
"Oprah's Next Chapter" on Thursday, Jan. 17. The 90-minute interview was Armstrong's
first since officials stripped him of his world cycling titles in response to doping allegations.
Word of Armstrong's admission comes after a Livestrong official said that Armstrong
apologized today to the foundation's staff ahead of his interview.
If Lance wants to go out a sniveling little bitch (not to mention narc) then so be it
Seems a smarter tack would be, "I played by your rules and I won, so blow me."
Since the Doping 5-0 couldn't detect anything in his urine, he was officially clean.
Is it Lance's fault if the Dopes couldn't do their damn jobs?
Now the idiot finds himself with no allies, like Dennis Miller.

I heard from Stephen the artist.
He suggested we drop the expectations for bidding down to $50.
Plus, he said he's not Native American and his art isn't, either.
It's just a style of art he likes.

I'm still financially recovering from the holidays (and now my new shitty insurance work

Frank, thanks for that.
Anybody have a higher bid or should we give it to Frank L for $50?

Slappy Thomas Finally Speaks
Seven years since he last grunted
Link
Justice Clarence "Slappy" Thomas broke his nearly seven-year silence at
Supreme Court oral arguments Monday. But no one is sure exactly what he said.
Thomas seemed to be making a lighthearted joke about lawyers trained at his
alma mater, Yale Law School, or its rival, Harvard; the Ivy League is a common
Thomas target. But several justices were speaking and laughing at the time, and
Thomas’s exact comments apparently are lost to history.
When Supreme Court justices hear arguments in cases, they are normally throwing questions
at the lawyers and interrupting one another -- it's very rapid-fire, and all are engaged. All of them,
except one: Justice Clarence Thomas sits silent as a know on a dead-ass tree. It was over so
quickly that some observers hadn’t realized the pity justice had spoken at all.
Still, the utterance set off a small quake among those weirdos who closely follow the Supreme Court.
It quickly lit up Twitter, and parts of official Washington waited for a transcript of the proceedings or
a scrubbing of the tape of oral arguments. It prompted the kind of intense analysis that usually
accompanies one of the court’s important decisions.
Of the many mysteries about life inside the Whore Court that puzzle the public, the question
of why Slappy has not spoken in years (since Feb. 22, 2006), is one of the most enduring.
Obviously Slappy believes in that old saying, "Better to keep your mouth shut and let
others think you're stupid than open your fool mouth and confirm their suspicions."
Slappy's job is to sit there and then vote the way Scalia tells him to.
