Some Confusion Happened

in 2nd profound question of the day,Clinton Derangement Syndrome,Jackass,Palin Derangement Syndrome,profound question of the day,Sexist Onslaught,Swamp Misogyny,teh BOIZ,Why Don't You Take a Long Walk Off a Short Pier?

WTF??

Why did Gibbie refer to John Kerry as “Secretary” after his very “secretary of state-ish” trip to Afghanistan earlier this week? Is Hillary Clinton considering resigning?

Details are emerging about our own home-grown terrorists (alleged terrorists, that is) here in the Great Metrowest. The newest suspect’s father was a doctor at Mass General Hospital in Boston for 20-something years before retiring to Detroit two years ago. Huh! Wha? Mass General is one of the finest hospitals in the world. Dr. Abousamra was highly respected (and highly paid I presume) as well as being a prominent local spokesman for muslims in New England. What the hell kind of rich doctor from suburban Boston retires to Detroit? Very odd.

Some Democrats are confused and displeased by the White House’s unseemly attacks on Fox News and the US Chamber of Commerce.

Pelosi doesn’t have the votes for a “strong public option.” With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?

And if you thought Democrats had exorcised their Misogyny Demons by destroying Hillary Clinton’s chance for the White House, think again. They will NEVER tire of bashing Sarah Palin. And Liz Cheney is also worthy of sexist scorn. (psssst! Earth to Cottle, calling a 43-year old woman with a law degree from the University of Chicago who wrote her senior thesis in college about “The Evolution of Presidential War Powers” a “cute little blonde chick” and a “little girl” is PURE SEXISM fueled by BLIND MISOGYNY, you appalling jackass, you.)

And sorry for missing yesterday’s cupcake.

Speaking of stealing credits, Cheney called: he wants his war back

Good morning, Pumas!

The winning bumperstickers have finally arrived.
When Murphy has a free moment she will be posting instructions re: how you can get your free bumperstickers.

Meanwhile, I’m late and off to wack (kiyh). TGIF!
5 murphy 10.23.09 at 9:36 am: oops, shoulda linked to Violet wrt the palin bashing. nobody does it better than she.
“A start-up publishing house called O/R is planning a kind of semi-spoof of Sarah Palin’s upcoming memoir. The title of Palin’s book is Going Rogue: An American Life. The spoofy thing — actually a collection of essays about Palin — will be called Going Rouge: An American Nightmare. Rouge — get it? Makeup. Lady stuff! Stuff that bitches wear! Heh. Take that, rougey bitch with lady parts!”

9 admin 10.23.09 at 10:28 am: also via kiyh, the new amelia earhart movie is released today:

” The filmmakers spend so much time turning her into a dopey romantic figure that they never give her the animating, vital will or even much of a personality that might explain how a Kansas tomboy turned Boston social worker took to the skies and then, through her deeds and words, encouraged other women to chart their own courses.”

13 persephone 10.23.09 at 10:46 am: I had to clear cache, history, reboot, stand on head, spit wooden nickels.

Finally straightened out here.

Gibbie is the most reprehensible WHPS I can remember. What a total asshat!
Does he ever a day go by when he doesn’t deeply offend?

Smarmy, whiney, infantile Robert Gibbs must go.

I seriously doubt John Kerry being referred to as “Secretary” was OK with Secretary of State Who Should Be President Hillary Clinton.

But what else could she say?

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5i-95E_TCyqYX0CBZ5xQAV_V3VWyQD9BG76902

WASHINGTON — A top White House economist says spending from the $787 billion economic stimulus has already had its biggest impact on economic growth and will likely not contribute to significant expansion next year.

Christina Romer, the chair of President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, said Thursday that the $194 billion already spent gave a jolt to the economy that contributed to growth in the second and third quarters of the year.

21 NikkisMom 10.23.09 at 11:05 am: Ouch: Russian Pravda compares Obama to Hitler

By Ivan Simic

Barack Obama and the Flying Circus is a perfect term to describe current President of the United States and his prominent Cabinet.

–snip–
If we look down the history from 1900 to 2009, we will find only one person who was extremely popular and talked about like President Obama. That person is Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party and chancellor of Germany.

Despite both men’s popularity; there are more scary similarities between these two leaders:

22 murphy 10.23.09 at 11:09 am: “A Portland man who attacked his ex-girlfriend and impaled her pet fish this summer has been sentenced to two years probation, a psychological evaluation and community service. Donald Earl Fite III, 27, pleaded guilty Tuesday to animal abuse and domestic violence assault.

According to court records, Sarah Harris had broken up with Fite but returned to her Portland apartment July 25 to find him lying on her bed, saying he wanted to get back together.

When Harris tried to leave, Fite shoved her against a wall, grabbed her hair and tossed her against a bathtub.

Harris fled but returned with an officer to find her fish — a bright purple betta named “DeLorean” — on the wood floor with a knife through it.

According to court records, Fite quickly admitted killing the fish, telling police: “If she can’t have me, then she can’t have the fish.”

24 persephone 10.23.09 at 11:17 am: Phyllis Chesler on Muslim terrorism suspect from Boston:

http://pajamasmedia.com/phyllischesler/2009/10/22/home-grown-terrorism-in-america-connecting-the-dots/

excerpt:

Why should the Times suggest that Mehanna’s motivation might be related to Islamic jihad? That hypothesis would tarnish an entire religion, an entire people, it can’t be true—but even if it is true, it’s too troubling and unpleasant a truth. Why connect the dots when you can continue to confuse people?

“Well, as the Danish Mohammed Cartoon controversy has so ably demonstrated, not all religions are equal. If someone flies planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon—better not blame it on the Saudis or on Islamic jihadists, especially if they are guilty.

People who are capable of such acts won’t like such accusations. They might sue you or kill you or blow up your kids. Anyway, it’s better not to think this way, better not to descend to the level of people who believe that Islamic terrorists have declared war against all non-Muslims, (against other Muslims too), especially against those who live in America and Israel. “

excerpt:

“From New York to Kabul

My Afghan awakening began in New York in 1961 when I married my college sweetheart, Ali. I was an Orthodox Jewish-American girl; he was a Muslim boy from Afghanistan who had been away from home for fourteen years while studying at private schools in Europe and America.

My plan was to meet Ali’s family in Kabul, stay there a month or two, study “History of Ideas” at the Sorbonne for a semester, then return to Bard College to complete my final semester.

When we landed in Kabul at least thirty members of his family were there to greet us. The airport officials smoothly confiscated my American passport. “It’s just a formality, nothing to worry about,” Ali assured me. “You’ll get it back later.” I never saw that passport again.”

US Chamber Shuts off TheYesMen.org and Websites of Hundreds of Other Activist Groups
Free Speech, Free Commerce Threatened by “Free Trade” Champion
WASHINGTON – October 23 – Hundreds of activist organizations had their internet service turned off last night after the US Chamber of Commerce strong-armed an upstream provider, Hurricane Electric, to pull the plug on The Yes Men and May First / People Link, a 400-member-strong organization with a strong commitment to protecting free speech.

“This is a blow against free speech, and it demostrates in gory detail the full hypocrisy of the Chamber,” said Andy Bichlbaum of The Yes Men. “The only freedom they care about is the economic freedom of large corporations to operate free of the hassles of science, reality, and democracy.”

Missing the point on both issues.

Here, let me balance that edited biased too brief cut and paste with one that may add balance to anyone who reads it and wants to pursue the full story instead of a fortune cookie opinion.

Their method is often satire: posing as corporate or government spokespeople, they often make shocking comments which they believe to be the real meaning of the organisation’s ideology being hidden by spin, or extrapolate what they feel is the organisation’s ideology in a ‘reductio ad absurdum’ to come out with outrageous conclusions, such as that it should be possible to sell your vote or that the poor should eat recycled human waste. On most occasions no shock or anger has been registered in the response to their prank, with no one realizing they were imposters. Sometimes, the Yes Men’s phony spokesperson makes announcements that represent dream scenarios for the anti-globalization movement or opponents of corporate crime. The result is false news reports of the demise of the WTO, or Dow paying for a Union Carbide cleanup, which the Yes Men intend to provide publicity for what they see as problems in the current situation.

And …..
The yes men aren’t the point.
84 RememberNovember 10.23.09 at 5:13 pm: Yes, but he’s way up from minus thirteen to minus nine today (Rasmussen) – what’s that about? – a bounce from thos approving the CEO paycuts from the every day Joe and Josphine?

87 admin 10.23.09 at 5:22 pm: “Administration Loses Bid to Exclude Fox News From Pay Czar Interview
The Obama administration on Thursday tried to make “pay czar” Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the White House pool except Fox News. But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included. ”

91 RememberNovember 10.23.09 at 5:27 pm: Yes, but why do you think he is back up from minus thirteen yesterday to minus nine (Rasmussen) today? Bounce for the pay Czar, progress with Iran (which collapsed today)? We’ll see I guess. Hmmm
92 BigCatLover 10.23.09 at 5:41 pm: When I saw the promos for the movie, I was afraid they would turn it into some sort of romatic drama, not the amazing story it actually was. I hate Hollywood movies – they are full of cliches and propaganda geared toward the dumbest of the populace. I know I’m pretty much alone in this opinion because Americans keep going to these dumb movies.

95 persephone 10.23.09 at 6:33 pm: US Chamber Shuts off TheYesMen.org and Websites of Hundreds of Other Activist Groups

So, the Empire strikes back.

Well, good for them-let them flex their muscle.
Hope the Yes Men’s panties are in a nut squeezing twist.

The C of C has been under siege by Valerie Jarett and the Obama administration for having the utter nerve to oppose Obama’s irresponsible, expensive, deficit creating, dollar deflating, job killing, tax increasing big governnment policies.

Yes, the C of C is a business lobby.
And, yes- they oppose many of Obama’s policies.

SO?

Businesses are not evil. They drive the economy and EMPLOY US.

Seriously, THIS is what the office of the POTUS is doing? Hiring activist goons to harass the C of C because RhamRod is otherwise occupied trying to silence and intimidate Foxnews?

119 Juliette 10.24.09 at 9:36 pm: In light of Obama’s war on the truth as reported by Fox News, the only cable news that I can trust, I decided to call the White House and ask to leave a comment for President NIXON. Unfortunately the lines were busy all day. Well Monday will be here soon enough and I will keep trying.
