Today’s Winner of the Puma PAC
DAILY PIG
MARCELINO DE JESUS MARTINEZ!

Congratulations, you Handsome Devil, You!

“A California man was arrested for selling his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000 – and a whole lot of beer. Marcelino de Jesus Martinez, 36, wanted 100 cases of Corona, 50 cases of Modelo, 100 cases of soda and two cases of wine, topped off with six cases of beef. His daughter was packed off to live with 18-year-old Margarito Galindo, and the two lived as husband and wife.”. . .
“We have heard rumors and third-party hearsay of girls as young as 12 years old and younger, and men as old as their 60s, in some of these transactions,”Greenfield, Calif., Police Chief Joe Grebmeier told The Californian newspaper.”
As our soon to be Secretary of State would say, “This is not culture. This is not custom. This is CRIMINAL. We cannot have a free, prosperous, peaceful, progressive world if women are treated in this way.”
(Disclaimer: No actual pigs have been harmed in the making of this post or in the awarding of this award. Puma PAC, its members, and affiliated groups have nothing but the utmost respect and fondness for real, live pigs. We fully and freely acknowledge that pigs are, indeed, intelligent and useful animals.)

Nazi-named children taken from parents
HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Three New Jersey siblings whose names have Nazi connotations have been placed in the custody of the state, police said Wednesday.
Holland Township Police Sgt. John Harris said workers from the state Division of Youth and Family Services removed 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell and his younger sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, from their home Tuesday.
Harris said family services did not tell police the reason the children were removed. Agency spokeswoman Kate Bernyk said it does not comment on specific cases.
The children and their parents, Heath and Deborah Campbell, received attention last month when a supermarket bakery refused to put Adolf Hitler Campbell’s name on a birthday cake.

“What is Human Trafficking”
“Human trafficking is the second largest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world. Victims experience a loss of freedom and exploitation at the hands of their traffickers who buy and sell them in pursuit of profit. As a result, human trafficking is commonly known as modern-day slavery.
In human trafficking situations, traffickers gain complete control over victims and force them into the labor, services, or commercial sex industry in order to generate profit from their labor and commercial sex acts. Some of the forms of violence traffickers use to control their victims include brutal beatings, rape, lies and deception, threats of serious harm or familial harm, and psychological abuse.”

“One of the keys to being well liked in Washington is to appear humble, which is why Washington is so full of people who are so unhumble when it comes to touting how humble they are. All of this comes naturally to Obama,” Mark Leibovich wrote four years ago in an Obama profile for the Washington Post.
If I understand Leibovich correctly—and I think I do—we like Obama because he’s likable, and he’s likable because 1) he knows how to be likable, and 2) he wants to be likable. Barack Obama, the ocean that refuses no river, will remain everybody’s best friend until he makes his first tough decision. Only then shall we really begin to know him.

HP Boston: Obama doesn’t calm people down. Something like 60% of the military doesn’t trust him or feel safe with him in command. Then you have the majority of the nation who either didn’t vote or they voted republican…they are *not* calm. No one is calm right now, between the economy and war and bs. Obama’s inexperience only exacerbates the stress. what an obot article–delusional.

There are those who will do what he says because he is our commander in chief but i dont see an outpouring of support like when bush won. There is a major difference, oboma openly bashed the military and our troops in a public forum on multiple occasions. Trust me the troops dont forget that.

Madonna should be flogged just for being Madonna for God’s sake. The latest ad campaign shows her lying across the seat of a bus with her legs spread and selling handbags or something.
It is amazing how many crotch shots she poses for. I am beginning to think it must be the best part of her since this is what is on display most of the time. Certainly her “talent” is not.
Give me a break!
Pat Johnson 01.14.09 at 4:53 pm
And for the record, and I don’t know about the rest of you, but nothing appeals to my sense of commerce more than a good crotch shot!

How Barack Obama calms a panicked nation.
By Jack Shafer
Posted Thursday, Jan. 8, 2009, at 8:01 PM ET
When these frightful times of financial confusion and credit constipation become too much, I dial up Barack Obama on YouTube to suppress my anxieties. The Voice works like aerosolized Paxil on my limbic system, reducing my blood pressure and lifting my mood.
If this president thing doesn’t work out for him, I’m sure Obama could make a living recording evacuation tapes for the airline industry: “The aircraft … in which you are seated … is falling … at a rate that Bernoulli’s principle … can not overcome. … As we crash … into the tarmac … please remain calm … unbuckle your safety belts … and walk in an orderly fashion … to the marked exits … to deplane.”
Obama smeared the American psyche with his oratorical ointment Jan. 8 as he implored Congress to pass his stimulus plan, which he doesn’t call a stimulus plan. That would sound too down. In the Obama version, it’s the upbeat “American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan.”
If you listen to the words, Obama promises a grim recession that “could linger for years,” produce a double-digit unemployment rate, and destroy a “generation of potential and promise” if his package doesn’t pass. But when I watched him in the video below, flanked by a pair of U.S. flags as if still campaigning for the job that he won two months ago, he made me feel oddly good about the challenges of coming economic Armageddon.
Watch an excerpt from the speech:
Say, I said to myself, how does he do that?
For one thing, he’s better at remaining calmer and more deliberate in his speech patter than John Wayne in a firefight—and better at it than any politician since Ronald Reagan. If he’s calm, I’m calm—even if my portfolio was last sighted burning its way to the bottom of the Bentley Subglacial Trench.
Adopting a slightly scolding tone in today’s speech without accusing anybody by name, he blamed such abstract scourges as corporate boardrooms, Wall Street, banks, “the halls of power in Washington, D.C.,” and borrowers who took out loans they couldn’t repay for the crisis. But like a dad who is tough-loving his wayward children back in line, he calls on us to “trade old habits for a new spirit of responsibility.” Yes, we can be redeemed! Painting a sunshine-and-lollipop vista of fuel-efficient cars, high-quality health care, better schools, “new discoveries and entire new industries,” a smart electric grid, and job security for cops and firefighters has a way of accentuating gain over pain.
Avoiding talk about pain is one of his secrets. If there is a downside to Obama’s “Recovery and Reinvestment”—or even a chance the Recovery and Reinvestment scheme won’t work—he shares not a peep. How much will this Recovery and Reinvestment operation cost? Obama wisely avoids putting a price tag on it. But, again, it’s not what Obama says that narcotizes the citizenry, but the way he says it. He can’t possibly be certain that his plan will work, but he sells it as a done, settled deal, never showing a speck of doubt.

During the 2008 campaign, Jack Shafer attempted to decode Obama’s rhetoric and explained why nothing the press throws at him sticks.Continuity and this sort of “settledness” was a hallmark of Obama’s campaign, and that strategy has evolved during the post-election period. At the exceedingly short press conferences that follow the introduction of some new administration hire, Obama often answers by saying he’s answered that question before. Asked about the Iranian bomb on Nov. 7, he said, “Let me state—repeat what I stated during the course of the campaign.” “Well, let me repeat a couple of things,” he said on Dec. 11 when asked about Gov. Blagojevich’s contact with his staff. When that didn’t shake the reporters, he repeated his repetition. “In terms of our involvement, I’ll repeat what I said earlier, which is I had no contact with the governor’s office.”

During the 2008 campaign, Jack Shafer attempted to decode Obama’s rhetoric and explained why nothing the press throws at him sticks.Here are a few more examples of Obama’s thanks-for-that-redundant-question response:
“But as I have said consistently, I will listen to the recommendations of my commanders.”—Dec. 1
“As I said throughout the campaign, I will be giving Secretary Gates and our military a new mission as soon as I take office—responsibly ending the war in Iraq through a successful transition to Iraqi control.”—Dec. 1
“Well, keep in mind what I said during the campaign. And you were there most of the time.”—Dec. 11
“As I have said repeatedly, I believe our government should provide short-term assistance to the auto industry to avoid a collapse.”—Dec. 11
“With respect to the moratorium on off-shore drilling, what I said during the campaign was that I was open to the idea of off-shore drilling.”—Dec. 15 [Emphasis added.]
On the page, these Obamaisms read a little snotty, but on the tube, he sounds like a confidence-inspiring paragon of consistency: Everything is under control. All contingencies have been considered. The ship is sailing straight and true. The Obama pacification express slows, however, when the press corps refuses to let him determine when an issue is “settled,” as happened at a March press conference. As this clip illustrates, the Tony Rezko controversy wasn’t going to disappear just because Obama thought his answers had vanquished it. “Come on, guys, I answered, like, eight questions. We’re running late,” Obama said as he retreated. It so shattered my vision of Obama that my acid reflux was out of control for a week.
Another way Obama stills the turbulent waters is by extolling bipartisanship, his old “there is no red-state America, there is no blue-state America” shtick. “American’s security is not a partisan issue,” he recently said. “I know we will succeed if we put aside partisanship and politics and work together as one nation. … I’m calling on all Americans—Democrats and Republicans—to put good ideas ahead of the old ideological battles, a sense of common purpose above the same narrow partisanship.”
Obama’s endless hunt for common ground, his desire to bring Kumbaya moments to all, endears him to the multitudes. He’s willing to work with everybody from the Republicans to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and even the Rev. Rick Warren, whom he has tapped to give a prayer at his inauguration. Defending his Warren invitation, which angered some gays and lesbians, Obama uncorked his stock explanation that we must be willing to “disagree without being disagreeable.”
According to the Chicago Tribune (Aug. 4, 2004), Obama borrowed the disagree/disagreeable trope from Sen. Paul Simon, who pinched it from “three dozen self-help books.” I always blanch when Obama uses this construction because it deliberately marginalizes the views of anybody unwilling to match Obama’s temperament—which is to say the rest of the planet. And I don’t know which is more damning—the fact that Obama’s cliché was plucked from a self-help book or that so many bobble-head in agreement whenever he uses it.
“One of the keys to being well liked in Washington is to appear humble, which is why Washington is so full of people who are so unhumble when it comes to touting how humble they are. All of this comes naturally to Obama,” Mark Leibovich wrote four years ago in an Obama profile for the Washington Post.
If I understand Leibovich correctly—and I think I do—we like Obama because he’s likable, and he’s likable because 1) he knows how to be likable, and 2) he wants to be likable.

Judge rules Madoff can remain free on bail
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090114/ap_on_bi_ge/madoff_scandal
NEW YORK – Bernard Madoff won the latest round in his fight with prosecutors over his bail package Wednesday as a judge ruled he can remain free, brushing aside arguments by the government that the money manager needs to be in jail because he cannot be trusted.
The judge ruled prosecutors did not make a compelling argument that Madoff is a danger to the community or a flight risk — the two considerations in deciding whether to grant bail.
Authorities say Madoff has said he ran a $50 billion Ponzi scheme, paying investors with money raised from new clients.
Madoff did not speak or show any emotion during the hearing, although he privately conferred with his lawyers on a couple occasions. He left the courthouse and returned to his $7 million Upper East Side penthouse, where he has been under house arrest and under the watch of armed guards around the clock. His outgoing mail is also being searched to ensure he doesn’t try to pass along any assets that could be used to reimburse burned investors.
Defense lawyer Ira Sorkin told the judge that such extreme restrictions make it “close to impossible to dispose of anything valuable.”
“I think the chances of Mr. Madoff fleeing at this point are as close to nil as you can get,” he said.
The government believes he should be jailed because he sent more than $1 million in jewelry and gifts to family and friends over the holidays.
Prosecutor Marc Litt said the gifts are further proof that Madoff “cannot be trusted under any set of conditions short of detention.”
But the defense said the government is using “inflammatory rhetoric and hyperbole” to make a flimsy argument, and called the gifts an innocent mistake.
Investors who lost billions to Madoff are furious that he has been allowed to remain on free on bail while being accused of such a sweeping fraud.
A magistrate judge rejected the original request that Madoff’s bail be revoked on Monday, and prosecutors appealed, setting up Wednesday’s hearing.
WTF?

It sounds like you exceeded the set bottom margin…so the spill over went to the next page…change the bottom margin setting. It isnt always obvious.
The other thing you could try is click and hold your mouse down at the top of second page and drag diagonally to the bottom… it will highlight any paragraphic (it is now) or other code…then hit delete. Try on your own but also send a copy and I’ll try.

I’ve done the prowls, but he situation of Timothy Geithner remains on my mind. I’m wondering how many like him are not contributing to their employee’s SS and Medicaid (?). I’m wondering if all who were supposed to pay … did pay … would SS and Medicaid be a problem that needed fixed?
Further, I think Sarah Palin had it just right when she fingered class as a distinction for many. The upper class does not like to pay those taxes because they are viewed as entitlements for the poor.
BUT. Ask those upper class elites to forego write-offs for their personal cars, associated insurance fees, fuel, home telephone service – cell and landline – and THEN make the case that they should pay their employees’ overtime with documented taxable funds rather than cash … and hear them whine.
Tax coffers would raise significantly I’m certain if the overtime money was associated tax-wise with profits the business did realize as well as income earned by the employees which would also bring more tax money.
It is way past time to acknowledge these unspoken entitlements for those higher up in the strata, and quit harping about entitlements of the working poor.
And I say we should start with Timothy Geithner. Let him be the poster child this movement.

Why are some here attacking Madonna for “crotch shots”. And not screaming about the beheading comment. So if a woman, regardless of age, likes to pose in a sexual manner it’s ok to take her out and pull a Red Queen on here. uhhhmmmm we have a SOS forum and a Women Lynching forum and a ERA forum. Those who made the pot shots about Madonna might want to visit the forums and have a read, educate yourselves before making such stupid sexist comments. Keep in mind crotch shots are not illegal. Watch a baseball game and tell me how many crotch shots of men you see, never heard once of anyone wanting to behead them for it.
Geeez…

I’ve leaned until the cows came home and nada.
When I open the header and footer, I can see the blank second page’s footer is off the blank page but I don’t know how to decrease the crap to make things fit so I can delete it. Nothing to latch onto to delete on the second page. Gurr.

There something on the last thread about child soldiers in the latest and greates conflict in the middle east. Amnesty Internation has been working with this issue, and I found this:
http://www.amnestyusa.org/children/child-soldiers/page.do?id=1051047
Durbin and Brownback are about as far apart in political philosophy as anyone can be, so it looks like a true bipartisan effort. I remember the bill, but I never heard what happened to it.

“Cops said the teenager was a willing participant in the selloff and that the arranged marriage and dowry was common in the Mexican Trique community.”
Are you kidding me? Fuckin’ A
murphy 01.14.09 at 7:20 pm
cinie is just TOO good. check out this sentence:
“But, the current spectacle of masses of supposedly sophisticated Americans delightedly slapping metaphorical “kick me” signs on their own backs as they happy-dance the jester’s jig to their place in line for the ramp that rolls them to their assigned place under the speeding Obabus to Hell, is an event unwitnessed and unrivaled since Aaron smelted all the gold and made a calf.”

murphy 01.14.09 at 7:21 pm
dances, see kat’s comment at #7, she nailed it:
“from article:
“Cops said the teenager was a willing participant in the selloff…”
Are those cops on CRACK? Big problem with this quote. She’s a minor. Her willingness or unwillingness is not even on the table for discussion. She 14 freakin years old. minor.”
bqueen 01.14.09 at 7:26 pm
murph #89: that is an awesome quote. As is the one RBO posted from Cinie:
“I’m beginning to think that the art of politics (if there is such a thing) is the ability to get strangers to pretend to understand when you talk nonsense out of both sides of your mouth. Unfortunately, that is also today’s definition of journalism. That makes looking for turds of political wisdom among the media bullshit as much fun as a scavenger hunt in a sewer. And just as obvious.”

You know, I tried wordpress but didn’t find it very friendly. My blog is more of an informative type, I don’t chat on it so I found Blogger easier for this purpose. Why do you think I should use Wordpress?

Gheitner as Treasury Secretary – This is a joke! The Treasury Secretary oversees the IRS. So, Barack Millhouse Obama has nominated someone that doesn’t even pay “part” of his taxes.
Pumas, this is going to be a long 4 years. Hopefully, BO will be forced to resign because he is a crook. However, until journalists start holding Obama accountable for his questionable ties, illegal money, and the big brother aspect of his administration, we are in for a rough time.
Keep up the good work – John Kass, Mark Levin, & Sean Hannity!

Women in these societies are considered property. It is what is called dowry? Sheesh guys… making this guy a pig for asking for a dowry… okay. … really only KIDDING> >>>>
Not much different in many societies. Muslims believe their women are slaves… Chinese put their girl babies out to starve to death and die…
Women are not valued. I am truly glad I was born in America. Here at least we can talk about it and try to do something about the travesty we see every day!!!
Nijma 01.14.09 at 7:51 pm
Cops said the teenager was a willing participant in the selloff
Hmm, I wonder what could be worse than slavery? What do you bet if she opens her mouth she gets beaten, or maybe abandoned to starve…
There used to be a guy in the building I lived in who regularly beat his girlfriend. From two floors down I could hear him stagger up the stairs drunk then ten seconds later…BAM. He was throwing her against the wall or something. Then we would call the police in shifts. If the police didn’t arrive–and sometimes they would refuse to respond unless they had more than one call, or we gave them the neighborhood watch code word–we would call each other and figure out if anyone else had called already. It took a lot to get the police to move their butts. When the police got there she would always answer the door and say he was asleep. Yeah, right, that’s what she’d BETTER say, all right. But after the police got there, he would stop for the rest of the night. The police need the legal authority (and the community expectation) that they can act to arrest and charge the guy on their own without the woman being further endangered by being forced to make statements that would surely lead to more retribution.
Nijma 01.14.09 at 7:55 pm
bmw60, no, Muslims do not “believe their women are slaves”. I can’t believe some of the ignorant hate that gets put up here. I hope that doesn’t reflect on all pumas.

I posted on here last evening that I answered a poll on care2.com the poll was if I was given a ticket to Obama’s inauguration what would I do with it we were given choice’s and one of them was other I checked other and I wrote I would put it beside my roll of toilet paper ( being a wise ass) well no one on here made any comment which is okay, but I am telling you this to say this that site must have been nothing but ‘bots’ because they got on me like shit on toilet paper they called me a rogue, unamerican, etc etc etc , one even said what are you saying you don’t know how to use toilet paper ( I wanted to reply yes but I don’t think a ticket to his inauguration is worth wiping my butt on so I left it for some one else) anyway just sharing.
bmw60 01.14.09 at 7:59 pm
****NIJBMA***** hAVE YOU read a book called Infidel… written by a Muslim woman… obviously you are not informed about how women are viewed in the Muslim faith… so don’t … i repeat don’t tell me what the truth is about this. If you can offer proof to all of us regarding your statements then please do so… otherwise do not judge my statements of truth.

Googleblogs can be shut down for days if enough fools flag it. Hillary bloggers had this happen all the time. Plus google stinks. Natural Born Citizen – Donofrio’s site about his lawsuit against Obama – also got shut down for days because of idiots flagging it.

This Treasury Secretary situation is a joke. The so-called media is bending over backward to cover for Bambi. Rush played a clip of the talking heads who repeatedly said it is an “honest mistake” and that it shouldn’t keep him from being confirmed. Johnathan Alter went further stating that with the state of the economy, we NEED Geithner because he’s the ONLY one who understands TARP. Oh, and it doesn’t matter that Clinton had the same situation in 1993 when his person did NOT get confirmed, because “times are different now” and we NEED Geithner.
I think I am going to be sick.

Doesn’t matter what the assholes believe, it’s a fact. I’ve been to the Middle East and seen how women are treated. Why you sit here night after night and defend a religion that treats women worse than dogs truly leads me to question whether you are a woman at all.
