The Daily Pig

MY NEW SENATOR BURRIS WAS WILLING TO SEND TWO INNOCENT MEN TO DEATH

….But it was as attorney general that he also found himself the target of criticism in connection with the prosecution of Rolando Cruz in the 1983 murder of 10-year-old Jeanine Nicarico of Naperville

In 1992, as Burris sought the death penalty for Cruz — who had been convicted twice by juries — a Burris deputy resigned in protest. Deputy Attorney General Mary Brigid Kenney became convinced that Cruz was innocent, the victim of “many instances of prosecutorial misconduct.” She asked Burris to stop defending the case before the Supreme Court but Burris refused. In her letter of resignation, Kenney claimed her boss had “seen fit to ignore the evidence in this case.” Burris countered that “it is not for me to place my judgment over a jury, regardless of what I think.” The state Supreme Court eventually tossed out the conviction and a DNA test in 1995 matched a different man, Brian Dugan, to the crime.

——
I was a member and activist in the Free Hernandez and Cruz group. Burris could not see that these two men were innocent of killing a 10-year-old girl in her home, but our group and many others could. Hernandez and Cruz were finally let go after DNA and the wonderful Innocence Project proved they were innocent.

I am happy to say that every prosecutor that was involved in this case and who wanted higher office was defeated. I hope I can activate some of the former members of this group to defeat Burris in the next election simply because he wanted to kill two innocent people.

Still can’t click on the ‘here’s up there^^^^^ to vote.

Gees, that really sucks!! How does your daughter feel about it?

BTW, I’m thrilled to see you, if you didn’t notice.

This is the right attitude to take. seriously.

Ok, I have one question: when is the last day for voting? When is contest over? I forgot and can’t find it.

I went to the Wankit website to see what was up. Reading those posts, I can only say that it sounds like a mess of nasty gibberish. I will be prowling tonight.

The pig is much too nice looking to really represent Ken Layne. You need to find one sucking mud.

oh, thank you murphy…

I nominate Harry Reid for tomorrow…. as “Lord” of the Senate… well he’s acting like a pig here… don’t ya think?

scarlet 01.07.09 at 2:46pm

Sorry to hear about that. I lived in Ft. Myers, Florida at the time. Why do you think Burris couldn’t or wouldn’t see they were innocent?

I would recheck the last day, I read Jan 13.

excuse typo

As usual I am talking to myself ( ) so I might as well agree with BillieJo’s earlier comment (below) and also thank mountainsong for her thoughtful reports of her visit with her Shaman in the wee small hours of this morning. Uh oh BJ – not so sure about sexist DOGS – same as pigs!

[I enjoyed reading about your conversation with your Shaman and I see why you respect him so much.
I too think that being respected does not come out of anger and expecting to be respected. I think our society often replaces respect with being PC and gets us further from the truth.
I have often been upset at many of the comments about men on this blog. Sexism has become such a big focus but seeing men in general as all sexist dogs isn’t being honest. I, as a single mom have worked very hard to educate my son to respect women and he is very sensitive to the hurt of women and there are many men out there that deserve respect because they are kind and genuine.
Just like we don’t like to be lumped into the category of ‘angry old women’, let us not make the same generalization about men.]

watch this heartwrenching vid made by Benazir Bhutto’s 18 year old daughter:

murphy 01.07.09 at 3:36 pm -if you have a better name, just let me know and I’ll change it!

What about calling it the Daily Bottom Feeding Pond Scum Award ?

also important if anyone (like a president) claims to kill Osama:

Benazir named Osama’s killer long ago in a BBC interview. They subsequently edited it out but youtube vids of it remain.

————-
That’s better, why insult pigs. Or how about shortening it to just “Daily Scum Award”?

I can almost see why my ‘elder’ chewed me out. Says I spend too much time on this site and my usual positive and excited about life attitudes have become like a Yo-Yo between pos and neg. LMAO I replied that there are some things in life I DON’T expect him to understand. lol
However….talking about pigs, dogs and pondscum isn’t exactly a conversation I would appreciate. Those people will always be with us. China just shoots them.

RememberNovember, isn’t that an insult to pond scum? And yes, a lot of us have had our lives filled with men who are smart, sexy, supportative, ethical…it makes this other kind of trash stand out even more. Oh, dear, now I’ve gone and insulted trash.

I won’t shut up for men who are insulted when I talk about sexism.

and I won’t do it for women who think I might be referring to their perfect husbands or sons either.

FYI—from Newsmax— regarding Obamanomics:
President Obama and the Coming Stock Market Crash
How destructive to the U.S. economy would a Barack Obama presidency be?
An exclusive Newsmax analysis warns: There could be a very rough time ahead.
Beneath Obama’s flowery rhetoric lies a dangerous economic plan that will wreak havoc on the American economy.
Obama plans to return to the failed policies of high taxation coupled with an expansion of government spending.
Worse, Obama says he is absolutely committed to almost doubling the capital gains rate — something he will easily accomplish with a Democrat Congress.
In the coming months — when investors realize that Obama will raise the cap gains rate — there could be a stampede of asset sales as investors rush to take their profits now to avoid Obama’s doubling of the tax rates next year.
All of these issues and more are explored in Newsmax magazine’s special report “Obamanomics — the Coming Tax-and-Spend Nightmare,” by Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund.
This Newsmax magazine special report gives Americans the first in-depth look at the Democratic president’s likely strategies — and how they will affect not just the larger economy, but your personal wealth as well.
Indeed, Obama makes no bones about his plans to go on a tax rampage. Not only would he increase the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to as much as 28 percent, he wants to allow the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which effectively raises taxes on Americans by tens of billions of dollars.
He also wants to do away with the $102,000 FICA payroll tax cap, which means anyone making over $102,000 would pay an additional 7 percent in taxes on earned income.
And the loan dividend tax rate George Bush implemented? Under President Obama it will be DOA!

Nijma 01.07.09 at 4:01 pm~~~LOL

murphy 01.07.09 at 4:04 pm Ur just too smart! LOLOL

Murphy, do you have the YouTube link for the song you had up yesterday? I really liked it.

Murphy,

Thanks for the chuckle. Yep, I noticed the mutual exclusivity but decided not to go there as I have also decided not to take you or Nijma on in a logical argument of who is more insulted the pig/trash or the intended target – we have too much to do!!!

RememberNovember 01.07.09 at 4:11 pm

mountainsong, yes, pumitizing is a yo-yo thing and it might not be that good for your karma–if all you are thinking about is yourself in this moment. But we are thinking about our futures and the futures of all American’s children. Sometimes the things that are worth doing are also hard. You are lucky you have such a wise person to help you ground yourself–we all need this kind of renewal, especially when we come into contact with this hate. And I think the Layne interview points this out very nicely–hate works, hate sells, hate is putting food on Ken Layne’s table. And he doesn’t care about the pain he is causing others–probably in his own family as well–as long as he gets something green to fold in his pocket. Everyone keeps speculating about the motivations of the Obots. Here we have it straight from the horse’s, er, pig’s mouth. It’s a business arrangement.

Well if it is obot scum…..

mountainsong – too funny – I wanted to protest you have not seen me in action yet but I think you are probably right!!

Off to accomplish something useful I hope – probably BBL

Also, remember the time of day you voted, so you can return in 24 h.

What’s the link for voting?

Just your answer and opinion, no link

Who are these women who allow THEMSELVES to be so degraded and exploited?!?!

If the instinct to procreate wasn’t so universal, and the love of and addiction to sex, we wouldn’t even need this conversation.

#61 goofsmom: good grief.

“People are too depressed to be sexually active,” Flynt said…

Was thinking that’s one thing we can all do for FREE! but probably not in Flynt’s world…

Love you too BB!!!!!!!!!!!

I voted.

The media is bending over backwards to protect Bambi before the Big Day. Everything that has happened – Judas, Burris, Blago, etc. is an “unfortunate inconvenience” according to the media. However, Bambi is running into a rough patch with what is going on between Israel and Hamas because he is silent on the situation. I heard a clip of his response about it today, and he was stumbling all over himself. His excuse is that there can’t be two presidents running at the same time. I can’t wait to see what he is going to say or do when he cannot use this excuse anymore.

Got one vote for ‘T’.

Mountainsong I’m living a life of noisy desperation.

Voted and sent emails.

A deserving winner of the first Daily Pig award!

Standards and values only matter to those who live up to them.

nahhh I disagree, they are most important to those who have no intention of living up to them but expect everyone else to.

Barack Obama meets US presidents at White House lunch

Looks like another chance for a photo opp and small talk. Big Dawg comments on the rug and chat lasted an hour. Guess Obie didn’t have anything to talk about when it came to his ‘experience’ since he doesn’t have any.

Note that littl’ George is quite gray now and wonder how gray Obie will end up before we impeach him?

PORN INDUSTRY ASKING FOR BAILOUT

Joe Francis to Uncle Sam: We’re Comin’
Posted Jan 7th 2009 2:31PM by TMZ Staff

He’s used to saying “Show me your boobs” — but now Joe Francis is saying “Show me the money.”

We got Joe Francis today and asked about that $5 billion bailout he and Larry Flynt want for the porn industry from the Government — and the “Girls Gone Wild” founder says he’s personally driving his Prius to DC for the cold, hard cash.

Mountainsong, there is reason to keep voting. Please don’t discourage it.

jiminy crickets, why all the long faces.

Do people remember how long it took for people to recognize the bag of goods sold with Bush????

Obama hasn’t even been inaugurated.

Cut yourselves some slack.

I will vote in an hour and a few, as usual.

Sent email to friends, but left the decision to vote for The Confluence open to the recipients. I did this because I myself struggled with my own decision to vote for The Confluence. I finally did vote for it in support of the the majority of regular bloggers (BostonBoomer, Madamab, shtuey, LadyBoomer, Riverdaughter, and a few others). I just take a deep breath and force myself to ignore the ipiq2xu posts.

I was going to propose the name Swine of the Day, too. It is not as personal as Pig and just saying the word makes you sneer.

Also, Obama is already pretty grey haired, although he has gone back to dyeing his hair black.

There will be the Lions Share tonight.

8pm est.

And to the poster further up this thread who was angry that her daughter was going to brown bag it for the prez on his inauguration day….my school system is giving all of the children the day off! The teachers have to work though, but I’ll be damned if they force me to watch one minute of it.

They are making all the students in my daughter’s school WATCH the inauguration instead of doing school work. We told her that she does not have to go to school that day since that is ALL they are doing!

Lin4Hill 01.07.09 at 7:32 pm

I agree. I think in the beginning, it will be the honeymoon period, and all the Dems will be kissing his feet. Then, when it gets closer to re-election period, some of the Dems will start backing off somewhat, especially when Bambi starts losing public support, IMHO.

I got this via E-mail today. Have to share. Sorry if this is a re-post.

BINGO HITTING THE JACKPOT TODAY.

Dr Orly Taitz is a GREAT WOMAN. We should talk more about her here.

THE SUPREME COURT wants to look into this. Today it decided. here it is from the lawyer Dr Orly Taitz

Obama will never be President

http://drorly.blogspot.com/

Wednesday, January 7, 2009
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts agreed to hear my case
Press Release from Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ01.07.09.
Good news,
Chief Justice John Roberts agreed to hear my case Lightfoot v Bowen, challenging eligibility for presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. He distributed the case to the full conference of the Supreme Court. The timing of this decision by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, is absolutely remarkable. On January 7, one day before the January 8 vote by Congress and Senate, whether to approve or object to the electoral vote of Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, as president of the United States, Chief Justice Roberts is sending a message to them: “Hold on, not so fast, there is value in this case, read it. Hawaiian statue 338 allows Foreign Born children of Hawaiian Residents to obtain Hawaiian Birth Certificates, it allows one to get Hawaiian Certification of Life birth based on a statement of one relative only, without any corroborating evidence. You need to investigate, you need corroborating evidence. If only one Congressman or one Senator presents a written objection, then there has to be a formal investigation by the joint session of Congress and Senate. During this investigation original birth certificate from Hawaii will be subpoenaed. All other pertinent documents will be subpoenaed: Obama’s immigration records, any and all passports from Indonesia, Kenya and Great Britain; University enrollment records, showing if he was enrolled in US schools and universities and received financial aid as a foreign exchange student from Indonesia or Kenya. All of it can be subpoenaed and obtained within a day or two. Each and every member of US Congress and Senate owes it to 320 million American citizens to do his due diligence and demand all necessary records. When American servicemen are told to risk their lives defending Constitution of this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic, each and every Congressman and each and every Senator can spend a day or two of their time defending this Constitution, reviewing necessary documents, in order to see if Barack Hussein Obama is a Natural Born Citizen, if he is a citizen at all.” This is the message that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is sending to them, and if they are not listening, there has to be a massive petition drive to recall them. Truth will come out, no matter how many millions Obama is spending to hide it.

Obama is A Fraud

Kudos to Michelle! She must be a Puma. Michelle called in to Brian Sussman’s radio show on KSFO regarding Obama BC controversy. She talked about the certified letters to the Secretary of State and to the Electoral College. Great job!

Phillip Berg spoke also. He makes a very compelling case. Even if the Supreme Court does not hear it, the truth about BO’s birth certificate will surface eventually. If he becomes President and it’s discovered that he wasn’t born in the US, everything that he’s implemented is in jeopardy.

The Obama puzzle is starting to come together. Why else are his college records from Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard sealed?

There’s a post, “the misogynist feminist”, at the confluence. Don’t be fooled. The first paragraph quoted (in the yellow box) broadcasts all the ‘tells’ you need to know the author is not a feminist, you can read the entire thing and find more “tells”. I believe the author is yet another silly boy pretending to be a woman… sort of like the fool Philly Puma.
(Speaking of SillyPuma. He thinks he had a good laugh at our expense and let us know… after he was booted. What he didn’t know is we had more laughs because we recognized him for who is really was from the beginning.)

So it was all a feint? And once again, hating women boils down to a business decision:

According to at least one earlier report, NBC was planning to ask Mr. Matthews to return but wanted him to take a drastic pay cut — from $5 million a year to an amount closer to $1 million.

Since that report, “Hardball” has bounced back in the ratings, especially during the presidential election season, and NBC News executives have expressed much more interest in retaining Mr. Matthews

Would you write racist commentary for $5 million? How about anti-Jewish diatribes? How about anti-woman?–yeah, that’s the ticket, that’s completely different, five million, no problem for tweety…and who is willing to pay him for that…?

TerryDo #131

Amen to your post! I would love to see the media types…Gergen, Matthews, Borger, Brown, Olbermann, Charles Gibson, Katie Couric, etc. all lose their jobs…..Karma!

roofingbird, check your local services, I was on dialup forever, then one of my neighbors said they had a plan for the same as I was paying for my dialup. I had checked them a year earlier and they were too expensive. I also found a plan on their website that was not heavily advertised that suited my needs better. The nature of technology is that the price keeps going down. Keep checking.

It seems they have got some bugs out of the radio show. Before it kept kicking me off as soon as I wrote more than the space in the little dialog box.

Off topic…Here is some sick twisted crap…Please no one under 16 years of age….Has been posted at the SOS Forum… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS8YtmGhT9Y This makes me furious!!!!!!!!!

Nijma Thanks, in my neighbor hood I’ve got DSL, Cable and Dish. However, I’ve also got close to a 10% foreclosure rate and people are struggling. There was a huge reported (70% ?) drop in nationwide cable subscription at the beginning of the year.I’m ok, but I thought some might feel like they were extras. In addition, if you aren’t in a metro area, and 20% of us aren’t, you may not have any choice. That’s why I liked Clinton’s rural plan so much. I’m watching to see if Obama can flesh his out.

Nijma Yes, Att is offering here, and that is probably where I’ll wind up, but since I don’t have cable, either I haven’t decided which route to go. The choice is Sacramento channels in dish or San Francisco Channels in Cable. I always liked channel 26 – the international channel so, I’m leaning to SF. However,it’s been a good experience. Think of how many debates were on regular TV and that will give you a clue to what a large part of the population is missing.

I also saw the one in New Hampshire–we drove from near Boston and found a bar with three TVs playing I think hockey (?)and convinced the bartender to put one of them on the debates with no sound–and of course as soon as he was away the sound came up just enough. Yes I had to read the rest in transcripts, and you miss everything in the transcript.

Geeeez. We just got our first blog comment at Hillary’s Village from Wankit. Nice language too. Almost printable….

Silly basement boys.
