"This is the first time I've ever written the following words: The car to beat,
the best car in its class, is a Cadillac. The new CTS takes it to the Germans
so thoroughly – with sights set squarely on BMW's 5-Series, Audi's A6, and
Mercedes' E-Class, it should've been introduced on a beach in Normandy."

GOP Hates the NSA ...Sometimes
"Sometimes" being when they're not in charge
by Gene Lyons
NationalMemo.com
If Big Brother wants you, he’s got you. This disconcerting fact of modern life has been true
more or less since the invention of the camera, the microphone and the tape recorder.
When J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI wanted to dig the dirt on Martin Luther King, they bugged his hotel rooms
and infiltrated his inner circle with hired betrayers - the technological wizardry was secondary.
I am moved to these observations by the fact that the RNC has now joined The Snowdenista Left
in pretending to be outraged by something they manifestly do not fear.
The same GOP that rationalized torture and cheered the Bush’s warrantless wiretaps as recently as 2006
now denounces the NSA data collection as “an invasion into the personal lives of American citizens that
violates the right of free speech and association afforded by the First Amendment....”
Keeping a no-names database of phone numbers called, date, time and duration threatens privacy rights,
although actual wiretapping evidently did not. Never mind that Republicans in Congress approved it.
It’s easy to suspect that for the RNC, it’s all about who’s in the White House. The End.
Nobody makes more sense than Gene Lyons.

Our New Pope, The Rock Star
I wish the lazy-fuck press would stop calling Pope Francis "a rock star."
Real rock stars do tons of cocaine and they bang groupies five at a time.
J-Lo, Keith Urban and Harry Connick are NOT rock stars.
One's a Latino singer/dancer, one's a country star and one's a crooner.
And it goes further than that.
The Beatles were POP stars, not rock stars.
Clooney is not a rock star, neither is Brad Pitt.
To be a ROCK star, you MUST be in rock.
No Beach Boys, no Backstreet Boys and no Elvis.
You miiight stretch a point and say Metallica are rock stars,
but they're the Kings of Metal and you can only worship one god.
Same for the Rolling Stones, they are a "rock n roll" band, like The Crickets.
A famous Nazi once said, "Words mean things" and he was right.
Rock stars rock - end of story.

Crooked Chris Christie - Again!
Local paper calls for yet another investigation
"I'm so crooked ...even by New Jersey standards."
Link
If crooked Chris Christie didn't already have enough problems, the editorial page of the
The Star-Ledger of Newark has set its sights on yet another incident involving accusations
about his administration's ethical standards. The incident in question took place in 2010 and
centers on a former local prosecutor who says that he the crooked Christie administration
stopped him from pursuing an indictment against a county sheriff and ultimately fired him
over the case. The New York Times wrote about it last October:
Prosecutors sent tremors through rural Hunterdon County when they announced a sweeping
indictment of the local Republican sheriff and her two deputies in 2010. The 43-count grand jury
indictment read like a primer in small-town abuse of power. It accused Sheriff Deborah Trout of
hiring deputies without conducting proper background checks, and making employees sign loyalty
oaths. Her deputies, the indictment charged, threatened one of their critics and manufactured fake
police badges for a prominent donor to Gov. Chris Christie.
When the charges became public, the indicted undersheriff, Michael Russo, shrugged it off.
Crooked Chris Christie, he assured an aide, would “have this whole thing thrown out,” according to
The Hunterdon County Democrat. That sounded like bluster. Then the state killed the case.

I've never heard that expression, "Break you in half - like a boy."
Is that something they do a lot in New York?
It sounds very sexual, "breaking a boy in half" sounds like you're bending him over a chair.

Subject: I'm fed up with Obama
Bart,
After listening to President Obama’s State of the Union address, I’m fed up.
I’m fed up with his empty promises, his lies and his liberal agenda. Are you?
America can’t afford more spending, more debt and more government intrusion in our lives.
Actually, spending is down, the budget deficit is down and taxes for regular families are down.
Nobody knows that because the you-know-whos refuse to list the you-know-whats.
If you’re fed up too, pitch in $16 right now to stop President Obama and his reckless liberal agenda.
Thanks,
Mike Shields
RNC Chief of Staff
Mike, how come you guys never LIST Obama's lies?
You always say, "He keeps lying" but we never get any specifics.
Did anybody see McCain's Teabagger-accuser Tim Schwartz on Chris Matthews Monday?
Chris Matthews kept saying, "On what issues is McCain too Leftist?" and the guy couldn't answer.
All he could say is "McCain has a history of voting with Obama and against the GOP," but he
refused to name any votes when McCain, who has a 92% Nazi rating, was "too liberal."
I've said it 1,000 times:
If you feel STRONGLY about something, you should be able to defend it.

Gay Trouble in Oklahoma
So far Right, it's helping the Left
Link
An interesting aspect of living in Oklahoma – one of if not the reddest state in the Union – is that
I’m observing a test tube for the farthest right of the right-wing experiments. Legislation goes through
undiluted by the need to compromise, but those combustible elements can sometimes blow up in the
faces of the mad chemists of the Right.
For instance, the 2004 legislature placed a constitutional amendment on the November ballot
defining marriage as between a man and woman.
On Jan. 14, 2014, the amendment was ruled unconstitutional in a scathing opinion by Federal Judge
Terence Kern, who called the law “arbitrary” and “irrational.” Judge Kern’s ruling came days after a
similar finding by Utah Federal Judge Robert J. Shelby, who struck down that state’s anti-gay-marriage
law which was approved by Utah voters in the same 2004 election.
Thus, two states – considered the vanguard of the anti-gay movement – may very well be the instruments
of its demise. Utah and Oklahoma find themselves in this position, not through any gay conspiracy, but
rather the result of their playing around with explosive right-wing notions that – without any buffering from
political compromise – led to dangerous excesses and to an unintended reaction, the advancing of gay
marriage toward national acceptance.
Woo Hoo!
Oklahoma's a leader in the American gay movement.
Woo Hoo!

I'm pretty sure you're past the "facts matter" phase, but according to DU, America is TIED on the NSA
and, by 56%-32% they want Obama to pursue a criminal case against the traitor.
So isn't it time for you to stop pretending that only radical Cheney lovers agree with Obama?
You're in the 32% minority, so stop pretending most people agree with you.

Subject: Republicans can't win?
The section about this gay republican guy quitting ended with the statement that the republicans can't win.
This is erroneous. They can win. They could even if nobody voted for them, using voter suppression,
FOX, and the techniques of electronic vote flipping. No one in the media wants to dwell on this for fear
of being labeled a conspiracy nut.
In the November 2012 issue of Harper's magazine there's a very well written story about this.
One of the assertions in it is that Obama beat Romney BADLY, that Chuck Hagel, before being elected
to office presided over a company called Election Systems and Software and was elected in a very suspicious
way, and that the late Mike Connell had a contract to be an election-night "man in the middle" for the republicans.
The late Mr. Connell, you may recall, died in an accidental, but timely, plane crash immediately before he
was to testify in Washington about the methods used to elect the Jolly Rancher/fighter pilot G.W. Bush, in Ohio,
I think, but with the internets being what they are, it could have been any, or all, of the states. The story alluded
to the famous Karl Rove meltdown on the night of the last election, when he knew better than the exit polls how
the election was going to turn out.
Harold
That might've been true in 2000 and 2004, I don't think it's true any longer.
First, the Black Democrat won the last two elections so their scheme's not working very well.
Second, the gap between today's voters and GOP bad ideas is wider - by far - than it was in 2012.
Still, we have to be vigilant with these bastards.
They want to win reeeeeeal bad whereas the Dems are just OK with winning.

Aspen Running out of Snow
Global warming ugliness, once again
"The snow is lying to help Democrats!"
Link
The ski season is a month shorter than it was 50 years ago. It will be nearly two weeks shorter
still by 2030, and it will continue to shrink in subsequent decades. In the spring, wet slab avalanches
– in which an entire slope slides slowly down a mountain, devouring the trees, rocks, and ski lifts
in its path – will become increasingly common. The slope most prone to avalanches lies directly
above Spar Gulch, an intermediate ski trail that is one of Aspen Mountain's main thoroughfares,
and one of the only routes off the mountain. The beginner slopes will become pockmarked with
rocks and turf, requiring snow machines to make up the difference. By 2100, should current
conditions persist, there will no longer be any snow at the base of Aspen Mountain.
So don't bother to learn how to ski, kids.
There won't be any snow left by the time you get there.

Greta: Eric Erickson "such a Jerk"
Everybody agrees with you this time, Greta

Fox's Greta Van Susteren lit into fellow network colleague Erick Erickson on her blog
after he tweeted harshly about Texas's Wendy Davis, characterizing her as “Abortion Barbie.”
Van Susteren posted a large, sweaty photograph of the conservative pundit and headlined it,
"What is wrong with this guy? He is such a jerk! He is a repeat offender!”
"Sometimes if you are smart in your debate, you persuade someone who otherwise had
disagreed with you," Greta write. "And then there are the creeps who take cheap shots
because they are too ignorant and small to engage in an important discussion.”
”No one should pay any attention to them – they are not persuasive, they are noise,
I just roll my eyes and wonder what is going on in his head!”

Dallas Cowboys Make Big Changes
But sticking with Butterfingers Romo at QB

Not-yet-fired Coach Jason Garrett also addressed the addition of Linehan and the stripping
of the play-calling duties from Callahan.
“The opportunity to add someone of Scott Linehan’s experience will help and it will give us
a great chance to build upon the strides we made offensively last year,” Garrett said.
Linehan’s arrival apparently won’t mean the departure of offensive coordinator and
offensive line coach Bill Callahan. Per Ed Werder of ESPN, the Cowboys are keeping Callahan
because he’d become head coach if Garrett is fired during the 2014 season.
Yep. Everything is normal and fully functional with the Cowboys.
