Today’s Winner of the Puma PAC
DAILY PIG
Congratulations, you Handsome Devil, You!
MATTHEWS: What happened between those two?
FINEMAN: Uh, it was a lost weekend that didn’t go beyond the weekend. [LAUGHTER]
MATTHEWS: He thought she was something special [crosstalk] but she wasn’t the genuine article.
FINEMAN: You know what? He had no idea, with all due respect to the Senator, he had no idea what he was getting. They came into the convention, and I was covering it closely at the time –
MATTHEWS: Was she a mail order bride? [CROSSTALK]
FINEMAN: Practically! He really didn’t know who she was!
Of course, Chris CRACKLE Matthews gets an Honorable Mention Daily Pig Award today for his contribution to the degradation and diminishment of professional American women everywhere (not to mention the underlying misogyny and racism towards poor women from Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe who are trafficked to western men in the 21st Century Slave Trade. For that they BOTH get Brownie Points! Nice goin’ Guys!)
The dudes at Hot Air reported on this story this morning and reminded their readers that Hillary Clinton was also frequently insulted by Matthews, Fineman, and the rest of the mutants from Swamp Misogyny in the mainstream media. But they were dead wrong when they claimed that Pumas wouldn’t stick up for Sarah Palin.
We did, we do, and we will.

Dear MSNBC,
Chris Matthews and Howard Fineman’s sexist insults have to STOP!
I am a member of Puma PAC, People United Means Action (http://pumapac.org) and have been well aware of how damaging the sexist and misogynistic remarks of prominent media personalities like Matthews and Fineman are.
During the election they repeatedly ridiculed accomplished women running for office using the most offensive and well-known sexist cliches. Their latest banter, comparing Governor Palin of Alaska to a one-night stand and a “mail order bride,” are degrading and diminishing to ALL professional women (actually to ALL women). Governor Palin and the millions of viewers Matthews and Fineman also offended deserve an immediate, on-air apology.
Sincerely,
Your Name
Puma PAC Member (www.pumapac.org)

M- I guess I didn’t read where they said we didn’t speak out against sexism against Palin – sorry
I was just preoccupied with being pissed about the Matthew’s / Fineman conversation …
murphy 04.01.09 at 9:59 pm

you may have heard me swearing down in Texas.

honestly, have we YET to award a Daily Pig to a handsome man?
are piggishness and physical unattractiveness related?
I think there should be a federally funded major study to find out. like the studies they do to “prove” that women are “supposed to be” beautiful to fulfill the evolutionary design of some horny dude . . .

“Diplo-Mess”
This was good, too, from Newsweek:
No, Really, You Shouldn’t Have
http://www.newsweek.com/id/191421
“…Only a few weeks on the job, Obama created a minor diplo-mess when British Prime Minister Gordon Brown came to the U.S. for a visit. Obama’s historic Oval Office desk, a gift from Queen Victoria to Rutherford Hayes, is made from the timbers of the HMS Resolute. Brown proudly presented Obama with a pencil holder carved from its antislavery sister ship, the HMS Gannet. Classy! Obama lamely reciprocated with a DVD set of Hollywood movies, including “Psycho.” When Brown got back home, he discovered they didn’t work in his European player. “At a minimum you don’t want to give offense,” says a former White House official who helped orchestrate foreign visits for a previous president. “That was really phoning it in.” (The official, like others quoted here, asked not to be named disparaging a sitting president.) Apparently it was a rookie mistake. According to a person close to the situation, Obama hasn’t yet appointed a chief of protocol and his staffers, still unpacking, didn’t realize that the State Department has an entire office dedicated to foreign visits.”
DancesWithPumas 04.01.09 at 10:54 pm

Interesting reading what other Presidents have given as gifts. obama is waaaaaaaaaay out of his league.
DancesWithPumas 04.01.09 at 10:57 pm
I’m going to get some sleep before the train wakes me again.
hillstheone 04.01.09 at 10:59 pm
Nite-nite, Dances! You can go to sleep with the comforting thought you voted for Hillary…she never would have made such idiotic diplo-mess blunders…
Rancho 04.01.09 at 11:03 pm
Sounds GOOD Dances. (Maybe I’ll take a “cat” nap for a bit.)
Have a couple hours to put in still tonight.
Maybe BBL

Sarah was asked to serve and she did. She continues to do a good job in Alaska, as a self-made woman. Doing a much better job than Ologo.
An Ipod… DVD’s with the wrong region code. No way a woman gets this wrong.

Iron-Jawed Angels: The Suffrage Militancy of the National Woman’s Party, 1912-1920
As I wrote yesterday. I am blown away by the movie and must read the book. Well guess what the book is expensive.
Linda G. Ford
Paperback, Univ Pr of Amer
June 1991, 299 Pages,
isbn-10: 0819182060, isbn-13: 9780819182067
$48.50 in paperback
Hardcover, Univ Pr of Amer
June 1991,
isbn-10: 0819182052, isbn-13: 9780819182050
$67.00 in hardcover.
I am going to see if I can get a library copy. I will buy the movie but his is kind of stiff for me on the book.
April 17 the bank puts me into foreclosure.
I have to pay a bit over $15,000 to the bank to stop foreclosure by April 16. Not a penny less than full payment due. Plus taxes etc. Not a day late. Impossible!
Good old Countrywide who is now Bank America plays rough. No compassion. I believe the US Gov is paying for all the losses to Bank America. But will not give the money to the homeowner so he can keep the house. NO. Take it from the people and give to the bank. Cover all the bank losses by the taxpayer. Bank America was already given $25 billion to cover losses and Bk Am Countrywide wants more money and will get all they want. The taxpayers can sleep in the streets. The bankers will own the world. We will be slaves to the Banks.
I am not afraid. I trust god to take care of me. It is not and will not be easy.
Alice Paul is such a beautiful woman. My grand daughter is reading a book on early womens movement. I want to get this one for her as a follow up. She is a sophmore in high school and is just beginning to blossom. I want her to be a real American Woman. We laugh every day about Puma. She will say I know where you got that from Puma or she will say go tell your Puma friends. etc. I think she is absorbing Puma from me. She knows all the principles of Puma. She knows when to apply them. She is smart. She wants to be a lawyer and might be a Puma Lawyer is my eternal hope. That would fill my heart with love to have her be a legal defendant of women. I want her to read the book. But I will get it for me to read first. I just have to read it.
Love to everyone. Remember Puma first. Puma last. Puma all the time.
Go Puma Go

From last thread:
Sunshinelvr 04.02.09 at 2:22 am
Nijma 04.02.09 at 2:08 am
I have one thing to say about this Nijma, and then I am finished with it. There is NO religion, salvation or organization that treats females like cattle or chattel as Islam does. Christians. Catholics, Protestants. Mormons, Lutherans, Baptists, you name it.. nobody treats the females of the species as slave labor to be hidden and used as do the Islamic cultures. Sure, some of them may be progressive and allow their females to go without the veil and walk around freely, but that is just a fraction. Islam is very demeaning and cruel to females Only. Do you not realize that men treat women this way because they feel inferior? The God, Heavenly Being, the Creator, what ever it is that you call your diety, loves us all equally and does not place one ABOVE the other. Man does that..not God. It is evil for men to treat women as the Islam religion dictates. You will never change my mind, no matter what you dredge up and put on here. It is evil, evil, evil!!!
Thank you, Sunshineluvr~~ you are a beautiful person, one who walks in light. Rather than disagree or criticize Nijma’s POV, having experienced friendship with people of many, if not all Middle Eastern countries, I am going to agree with her~~~she may have knowledge of Islam, but there are MANY things she has missed (her words, not mine).
mountainsong 04.02.09 at 12:52 pm
But, no religion I know of honors the sanctity of womanhood. of the female. Elements of Eastern Philosophies do. And certain native american and aboriginal cultures do Any society that does not is spinning haphazardly out of balance, has no claim to enlightenment, justice and equality.
