What Twisty Said

Yes 4 Mama being 1st!

so I posted a tirade, very last post, last thread… now I am spent… go read it ladies and gents, should you care to be shaken up a little… be glad Saddam Hussein is dead dead dead and cannot hurt any more women.

DeadGirl:

I read your last post downstairs. That’s some seriously sick sh*t. Raping women…putting them in cages alive…and dropping them in the lake.

lol…murphy

Do *not* look for images. I learned about it on TLC. No, it was just a man who had his twin inside of him since in utero and it continued to grow and so he carried a deceased person inside of him for a few decades.

(nevermind!) lol, you posted “kat in your kat” and that’s what I thought of.

TLC has some *wild* stuff on it.

Sounds like one of my family’s Greek salads.

FOX: Hemmer:

Supreme Court Case to see if Obama is qualified to be President and that one case has been thrown out…this was on the “two minute grapevine.”

FOX
OMG! FOX News just reported the controversy over BO’s “natural born” eligibility to be Pres is at the Supreme Court. At least American’s will know!

Murphy: Have you ever considered adding Femisex.com to your blog roll? Check it out. There is as well an older August 21 commentary regarding Hillary Halligans that is most interesting …more later on that to you…but the commentary there has some humor and bite.

Murphy: The August 21 comment, even though older, is an interesting compliment to your thread today.,by the way.

Oh, that’s great! FOX had to present the report on the BC issue in a round about way, first reporting the Hillary “Constitutional” “eligibility” problem with her pay as SOS, having voted for an increase for the Cabinet members. How ridiculous and cowardly. That issue is sooo simple. The real Constitutional CRISIS is the baracobambi BC, lol!

I KNOW! What must the Obots be thinking? And the Dem Party?
Well. It may be thrown out, and then they’ll go back to their state of denial.

As a former domestic violence volunteer worker I know women are immersed in psychological abuse and manipulation. We are all pretty much victims to some extent. The statistics are overwhelming. As an educator, I want women to learn how to ignore social and psychological pressures that start from early childhood. We are climbing an enormous mountain here. That’s why getting a woman President is paramount!

Dead Girl do you have source for your story? The stories about Uday having women kidnapped off the streets and killed later was circulating in the Middle east when I was there, also torturing losing athletes, but nothing about the other two.

Admin, you did good over there and I think the furniture is still okay–they did need something to think about instead of just repeating platitudes and wishful thinking. Someone has to speak up when the emperor has no clothes.

I agree Nijma, I left yesterday in a huff. I wish I could present facts as beautifully as does Murphy. Sometimes, it is just so crazy that I lurk and then leave.

Congratulations Murphy and PUMAs for reaching the fundraising goal!

About the previous post and Bush, I’m not a fan of Bush. However, I believe in honest press coverage (which is sorely lacking these days), and the press did not give Bush a fair shake. They deliberately reported negative information about him. On the other hand, I do not understand why Bush did not speak out more or fight back on this to dispel this perception the media has portrayed of him. Maybe if he did, we might have McCain/Palin as President-elect and not Bambi!

@ #39:

So, I hope everyone starts to tell little girls that they are smart just as often as they say she is pretty. Or remember to tell her she’s also pretty when she’s digging for worms, playing in play clothes and her hair is all messed up.

And stop breaking your neck telling the little girl to share everything. Sometimes it’s ok to not share.

Funny you mention that. For the past numerous weeks I have been (happily) noticing similar on other network prime time shows such as CSI, NCIS, etc. I hesitate making any mention here, but you just verified what I am seeing as well. Sometimes the references are subtle, others discuss outright topics as part of the story such as sexism. The are those who are attempting to send messages to the viewers. I pray and hope these good, although subtle messages, goes mainstream into people’s minds soon! Very soon!

I would not get your hopes up about the BO BC thing. I was discussing it with my husband who is a lawyer and former litigator. He says that because the law subsequently changed to allow someone like BO to be considered a citizen, the whole issue of retroactive application could be argued and is not clear. If the situation is not absolutely clear law, no one is going to throw the nation into turmoil……not saying I wouldn’t love to see it happen….I just think it is unrealistic.

And for the record..I, like our fearless leader, fear..or, rather, feel..that the BC issue will fall short of what it is hoped will be accomplished. I do not say this to offend or discourage anyone.. With all the years he has been in the public eye and all the opponents he has screwed over, if this was an issue, it would have been challenged before now. However, if you have faith–continue your work and I will wish for the best outcome possible for us all!

No wonder you’re such a strong person! I grew up the opposite. Overprotected. Everything I accomplished was a scary struggle for me…

Regardless, we would score a victory if it is just divulged to the American people that they’ve been had. Let them overturn the Constitution or set a rotten precedent if they insist. What can’t be tolerated is fraud and deceit. If he’s a citizen or not, let it be KNOWN.

I do not intend to argue over this issue..Or belittle anyone.. And I do not want to hear anyone else doing that to those who do not support this issue. THAT is why I made my comment.

I feel really deprived that I never saw Boston Legal…is there a re-run of the “bc” episode somewhere?

Saxby is going to win, and that idiot in Minnesota will lose, you know the comedian that thinks he can be a congressman.

The Associated Press says Saxby Chambliss has won a second term in the U.S. Senate.

According to the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, Chambliss had 60.8 percent of the vote and Martin 39.2 percent with 68 percent of the state’s precincts counted.

The Associated Press called the election for Chambliss at 8:47 p.m. Polling precincts around Georgia reported light turnout and few problems as thousands of Georgia voters cast their ballots to decide the runoff between Chambliss, the Republican and Martin., the Democrat.

FOX News-Saxby is projected to win in GA. Coleman is also ahead in MN. Good. BBL.

Hey Pumas – remember right before Nov 4 when the LA TInes would not realease the Khalidi Tape, and we all picketed their offices? I cancelled my subscription then and told them very clearly why. Well, last night I got a call from the LA TImes simply informing me that it was time to get me back on subscription. This guy went off on me when I said I had no intention of renewing my subscription, that I would prefer to read the National Enquirer. He asked me if I had voted for Obama, I said of course not. He then said well of course you would not like what we printed. He was a total jerk (an Obot obviously) and I hung up on him. And this guy was trying to get back my business, can you believe that?

mountainsong – I have noticed this about Nancy Pelosi since she took control. She does and says stupid things. But she is a real snake. I would never turn my back on her, ever. I bet she and Hillary have had their confrontations.

victoria’s secrets show! I am about to puke! More sexplotation for women! to gratify the men! everyone should boycott and write emails! cbs on wednesday

admin: If you study the history of film making, you will find that in its infancy, the film industry had many female directors. As time went on, and misogyny took it usual toll, the amount dwindled until it was a rare thing to find a female director.
Mary Puma: In my opinion, Nancy Pelosi torpedoed both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, because she has delusions about being the first female president. I sent her my own personal e-mail, months ago, informing her in no uncertain terms what I thought she is all about and that she would never, ever have my support, should she foolishly put herself forward as a presidential candidate. I will never support a femicannibal, which is my own personal term for women who turn on and help destroy other women, for their own personal benefit.

Thank You DWP!!!!!!!!!….MOUNTAINSONG!! Correction…Her name is Peloooooooooooooooooooooooosieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! She is a huge piece of shit!!!!! What a left wing sick twisted nut job!!!!…

WND Exclusive OBAMA WATCH CENTRAL
Electoral College scam: Where dead people vote
Lawyer challenging eligibility seeks investigation of process
Posted: December 02, 2008
9:13 pm Eastern

By Bob Unruh
© 2008 WorldNetDaily

A lawyer playing a major part in a California lawsuit urging officials to prevent the state’s 55 Electoral College votes from being recorded for Barack Obama until questions about his citizenship are resolved has written to county clerks around the state, seeking an investigation into a process that has allowed a dead woman to be listed as an official elector.

Barack Obama

According to Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation, the clerks have been advised about the “irregularity” in the list of electors provided by the Democratic Party in California.

“In the 28th Congressional District (Congressman Howard Berman), situated in Los Angeles County, Ilene Huber is listed as the presidential elector designated in that district. However, as shown in the attached certified statement of Dean C. Logan, registrar-recorder/county clerk of the county of Los Angeles, state of California, there is no Ilene Huber listed as a registered voter in the County of Los Angeles. A statewide search of public records has revealed only one Ilene Huber in the state of California, and she is deceased-a copy of her certificate of death is attached hereto as well,” the advisory said.

(Story continues below)

“Further, according to Chris Myers, director of research for the California Democratic Party, who submitted the list of presidential electors for the Democratic Party to the office of the California secretary of state, there are additional, undisclosed, ‘errors’ in the list of electors. This admission was made in a telephone conversation with a representative of the American Independent Party on or about November 20, 2008,” the letter continued.

“It is therefore respectfully suggested to you that an investigation be made by each of your respective offices into the accuracy and validity of the list of presidential electors submitted for the ballot in your respective counties. It is believed that an attempt will be made to ‘revise’ the list of such electors so that those named individuals that were selected by the voters will be replaced by other names. Such ‘revisions’ will, in all likelihood, result in litigation being filed to challenge such attempts to alter the ballot post election, and may result in your county being included as a defendant therein,” it said.

Kreep said the integrity of elections in the U.S. needs to be maintained, or “the vote of the people becomes merely something that can be ignored by those who hold the reins of political power at the moment.”

Kreep previously told WND that because of the lack of proof of Obama’s U.S. citizenship and the consequent questions over his ability to meet the Constitution’s requirement for only a “natural-born citizen” to be president, the Obama administration will be considered by some to be fraudulent.

“We will file lawsuits on his actions, every time. As long as we have money , we will keep filing lawsuits until we get a decision as to his citizenship status,” he previously told WND. “We’re already talking to groups who are willing to be plaintiffs.”

As WND reported, Kreep filed a legal challenge in California with presidential candidate Alan Keyes as a plaintiff questioning Obama’s birthplace.

The complaint urges the California secretary of state to refuse to allow the state’s 55 Electoral College votes to be cast until Obama’s eligibility to hold office is resolved.

The case is one of more than a dozen legal challenges brought over Obama’s citizenship. The cases all cite Obama’s clouded history and the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that a president be a natural-born citizen.

Sign an online petition to insist on release of birth certificate.

There have been allegations Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii as his campaign has reported, that he could be considered a British subject because of his father’s residency in what then was a British protectorate that later became Kenya, and that the “Certificate of Live Birth” posted on his website simply shows his mother registered his birth in Hawaii after he was born but does not document a location.

There also have been questions raised about his travels as a youth, including the years he spent registered as a Muslim in an Indonesian school, and his later travels to Pakistan at a time when U.S. passports weren’t welcome in that nation.

WND senior reporter Jerome Corsi traveled to Kenya and Hawaii prior to the election to investigate issues surrounding Obama’s birth. But his research and discoveries only raised more questions.

The biggest question is why Obama, if a Hawaii birth certificate exists, simply hasn’t ordered it made available to settle the rumors.

The governor’s office in Hawaii said there is a valid certificate but rejected requests for access and left ambiguous its origin. Obama’s half-sister, Maya Soetoro, has named two different Hawaii hospitals where Obama could have been born, while a video posted on YouTube features Obama’s Kenyan grandmother Sarah claiming to have witnessed Obama’s birth in Kenya.

The California action was filed on behalf of Keyes, as well as Wiley S. Drake and Markham Robinson, both California electors.

“Should Senator Obama be discovered, after he takes office, to be ineligible for the Office of President of the United States of America and, thereby, his election declared void, Petitioners, as well as other Americans, will suffer irreparable harm in that (a) usurper will be sitting as the President of the United States, and none of the treaties, laws, or executive orders signed by him will be valid or legal,” the action challenges.

U.S. State Department officials declined to respond to WND inquiries about the process for keeping a U.S. citizenship while attending schools in Indonesia, or the possibility of a U.S. citizen keeping that status while traveling on another nation’s passport.

But several online “fact” sites have contended that the concerns over Obama’s citizenship are much ado about nothing.

Factcheck.org, for example, has posted an image described as Obama’s “birth certificate.” But within the image can be seen the words “Certificate of Live Birth,” which is not the same document. In Hawaii at the time Obama was born the state issued a “Certificate of Live Birth” to a parent registering a birth, but it does not indicate the location of the birth.

“FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate,” the group said in a statement accompanying the image of the “Certificate of Live Birth.”

The website Snopes.com also attested to Obama’s U.S. citizenship, citing information from the campaign itself.

However, WND columnist Janet Porter, who has investigated the dispute, wrote in her column that there are too many questions to ignore.

“In Hawaii, a Certification of Live Birth is issued within a year of a child’s birth to those who register a birth abroad or one that takes place outside a hospital,” she said.

“There’s the matter that Obama traveled to Indonesia, Pakistan, Southern India and Kenya in 1981. He said he went to Indonesia to see his mother. This seemed plausible, except for the fact that his mother returned to Hawaii in August of 1980 to file for a divorce from her second husband, Lolo Soetoro. Unless she went back to pal around with the man she divorced, she wasn’t there at the time of Obama’s visit,” Porter wrote.

“There’s another problem. No record of Obama holding an American passport prior to the one he received once becoming a U.S. senator has been found. If he traveled to Pakistan with an American passport, he wouldn’t have been allowed in – since Pakistan was in turmoil in 1981 and under martial law. It was also on the State Department’s travel ban list for U.S. citizens,” she wrote.

“If he couldn’t get into Pakistan with a U.S. passport, perhaps he went there with an Indonesian passport. But the only way you can get one of those is if you are an Indonesian citizen,” she wrote.

I think it all comes back to lack of self esteem. When I worked as an advocate for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, that was an, understandably, common thread. People, male or female, express their insecurities quite often as jealousy or envy and criticism of others.
I think development of sense of self worth needs to begin in early childhood. But if parents lack self esteem, they can hardly develop it in their children.
I might get my head chewed off here for postulating this. But I do believe it is the underlying cause of women vs women issues. It seems like, in a competitive society, we constantly compare ourselves to others, and base our self worth on how we measure up, rather than on our own philosophies and/or accomplishments.

Washington State has our own Nancy Pelosi~~~Christine Gregoire.

Nijma 12.02.08 at 7:14 pm
Dead Girl do you have source for your story? The stories about Uday having women kidnapped off the streets and killed later was circulating in the Middle east when I was there, also torturing losing athletes, but nothing about the other two.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi Nijma, I did not see this until late.

I double checked with my source.

The source of the story is from the US Military. It is the manmade lake at Saddam Hussein’s Palace(one of the many) where Camp Liberty is. These women were tortured and raped by Saddam Hussein himself. They gave up retrieving the bodies after over 100, because they realized that they would never get to the end of it. Perhaps when the occupation is over the Iraqi people will finish the job.

Uday was a monster. I was glad to see the picture of him, dead, like a dog in a ditch. He tortured the national soccer team when they lost, and after they were beaten and bloodied, he dropped them into the sewer where they nearly drowned in the human waste. This infected the sores on their bodies. You can only imagine what their recovery was like.

I do not equate Saddam Hussein and his extended family with Islam. I have been following the work of Anthropologists working on the mass graves sites, trying to help the families of the victims identify their remains, and doing crime scene investigation. There is so much going on in Iraq that we are not much aware of. Good people are there trying to help the poor people of this ravaged country. They put their lives on the line to do so. This work will be going on for generations. The information will come out too.

As the US Military is behind a lot of this work, it is not the nature of this organization to disseminate it. But the information is there, nonetheless. Perhaps Al Jazeera should attend open press conference when the opportunity is presented and ask about these places, like this lake of the caged women. No one in Saddam’s heyday would dare speak of these things, for fear of retribution on their families.

Mountainsong: I think you and I are saying the same thing about the Pelosi’s of this world, just couched in different terms. And I agree with you about Christine Gregoire. I voted against her, but of course, Washington seems to swing the Democratic direction, regardless of the candidates’ characters.

I understand the BC/citizenship issue, but the bailout situation has me far more concerned. There is no oversight and no exit strategy.
Obama and Pelosi and the Dems, heck, ALL the politicians know that without taking our money to bail everyone out, they are abject failures and don’t deserve their jobs.
The bailout may be a quick fix and save their jobs, but it’s poor fiscal policy which will enslave future generations to unmanageable debt.
I wish people would seriously look at this. The politicians are saving their own asses at everyone else’s expense. Any family or business that mismanages itself must file bankruptcy and rebuild. Our government just refuses to face the music of reality. Living in such a fantasy world they elected a completely inexperienced person to ’save’ us.
*sigh* Youth always thinks they know better. But it’s the elders who have, hopefully learned from their mistakes. Native American cultures would never dare to attmpt usurping their elders.

Sadly, no one is ‘minding the store’. Which means there is no one left to ENFORCE the Constitution. Even if the Courts DID say there was a violation!

This was just on CNN.com – hope it was not already posted..

Commentary: Sexism sneaks in over open mic…

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/02/campbell.brown.rendell/index.html

The story
How many times have politicians been warned about the dangers of an open microphone? And yet, on Tuesday, the lectern mic at the National Governors Conference picked up this little nugget from Pennsylvania’s Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell.

He’s having a conversation near the lectern about President-elect Barack Obama’s choice for to lead the Homeland Security Department, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano. Here is what Rendell said about Napolitano:

Rendell: Janet’s perfect for that job. Because for that job, you have to have no life. Janet has no family. Perfect. She can devote, literally, 19-20 hours a day to it

Wow. Now, I’m sure Gov. Napolitano has many qualifications for the job beyond having no family, and therefore the ability to devote 20 hours a day to the job. Watch Campbell Brown’s commentary

But it is fascinating to me that that is the quality being highlighted here as so perfect. C’mon. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is married with two grown children. His predecessor, Tom Ridge, had a family. Anybody remember a debate about whether they would have trouble balancing the demands of work and family? Read full article »

My goodness: thank you for reminding me of Twisty! I haven’t read her in ages. Time to start reading her, again.

And she is very right.
