Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Karma!
Someone went into a contract negotiation room with Olbermann and only one came out!
Karma, baby!!!
Good riddance.

Someone opined that Olbermannmight be in line to replace Gibbs! Ugh. I hope not.
Olbermann still had two years left on his $30 mil contract.
Sheesh, I’d make myself go all verbal for half that amount! Have heir people call my people!
Anyway, I want to see all of Obama’s cheerleader booted immediately…

Hiya Murphy.

Change(s) we can believe in.

Sorry for yammering… too much coffee too late in the day in the middle of the desert where there isn’t much to do once the sun goes down and the embers die out.
The sky though… Is. Magnificent.

Good riddance. That was one nasty talking head. He would be perfect for the BO Campaign. He makes me think of throwing rotten tomatoes.

Now what do you think Mr.Tingle is going to say? I heard he asked his anointed one for his BC. The new Governor of HI said he was going to get that all cleared up, but it does not sound like he had any luck.

Yes, the games have begun. Hardly a word about HCR since the MSM declared she would not be running.

I have been watching the FEC reportings. BO has several funds set up, all $0. The main Obama for America account will be putting out a year end report that I believe is due the end of this month so I do not know how much money is in there. HRC has hers still in place and it will also have to make a year end report.

Are you serious, murph? You didn’t know it was a Beatles song?

She’s a youngin’…. BUT she does know a whole lotta other stuff!

Murphy,

I LOVE Nina Simone, as you may have noticed on my fb page because I put up her links now and then. Nina covers several Beatles hits.

By the way, I stopped going to Confluence a long time ago – after Dakinikat got ousted. I liked miq2xu. I don’t know what is going on at that blog, but I don’t like it. You know, I got more than my fill of politics and in-fighting when I worked at large law firms. that’s why I decided to take a huge pay cut – and I don’t miss the six figure salary because I’m just sittin’ here watching the wheels go round and round.

Glad myiq2xu quit the confluence… Now I can read him without going over there.
*****************************
Does this mean he is starting his own blog? I like his quick comebacks, but just recently became somewhat of a regular at TC, so don’t know the history. Riverdaughter has been on an anti Palin kick, though. I think the upcoming election has everybody all amped up and twitchy, knowing what is coming. Blech.

DWP
You are one traveling lady. I’m jealous ’cause we in the midwest are sitting in our houses looking out at freezing weather and snow. I’m jumping out of my skin here.

George Harrison, my favorite Beatle, by far.

I suspect the merger played a part too because Olberman left too quietly (for him). I think he knew it was futile to fight.

and ENDURE!

Oh shit not Gingrunch! I suspect Sarah will run to ensure a defeat and easy win for Ozero. GE and the rest of the corporate giants have it all planned out.
I will of course donate and work for Sarah…the independents will decide the vote, I hope. I will take Sarah over ANY male, I voted for McPalin/Cain I will do it again!!! Desperate?! YUP!

RIGHT!

letting.sp….a great reporter/journalist I may say…can not remember her name. I guess that was the point..off to oblivion with her! And we still have the creep Gingrich…

HP
Gingerich has a Mom!!

Times are soo weird, that I actually think Gingrich would make a better president than any of the other republicans (sans Palin). He is really smart and plays the republican game, but I do not think that he is really as crazy conservative as the rest of them.

Note:
Dakinikat, nor any of her frontpagers @skydancing were kicked off the confluence blog. Dakinikat front-paged her concerns at TC and stated that she was in the process of deciding whether or not to stay or leave. Obviously she decided to leave and consequently someone who could removed dakinikats body of work.
However,if anyone needs to research any of dakinikat’s articles, she did have100 or backup copies saved. You canfind them skydancing.

Myiq2xu has always had his own blog. You can get to it by clicking the blue text in Murphy’s post above.

Gingrinch’s mother was tricked by Connie Chung…
CC told her it would be ” just between you and me” and then went ahead and broadcast her response.

omg…a must read about Newt. The perspective from his second wife.

http://www.esquire.com/features/newt-gingrich-0910

It’s too bad that his second wife, Marianne, isn’t the one running for office.

Altho she started with him while he was still married, he was already in counseling for divorce, whereas the third wife was more of an actual illicit affair. Newt left both of his wives when they were diagnosed with deadly diseases…the first one with cancer, the second with ms.

I don’t share Marianne’s political views, but she at least comes off as principled, and very human. Newt, like the last THREE presidents, seems to have lacked a father in some fashion (well, the article does mention a stepfather), so that makes me think he has that NEED that apparently drives our recent presidents. His first wife was his *geometry teacher* and they started up together when he was 16! He converted to Catholicism recently, in part to try to “annul” his past marriages!

Pages 2-4 rehash his initial rise so if you’re short on time, skip to page 5 and on. The last pages are must reads about his financial dealings and the pacs he’s formed, which have no limit to the amount of funds that can be given. He was crucial to the rise of Citizens United (back when it was Citizens United Not Timid C.U.N.T.) and made films such as Hillary, the Movie, to undercut her campaign.

—————————-
That’s it!! Connie Chung, exactly what happened, thanks.
Still and all Gingrich is a huge scumbag…gigantic!

Amen.

OK, now that I’m late, I’m done reading…but just to correct my misconception, Roger Stone made up Citizens United Not Timid, and Newt asked him to cease and desist…but I still smell foul play. Newt used half the name and made that Hillary movie. I call bs on his not being involved or at least utilizing the Roger Stone name.

and Stone admitted they used the C word because they couldn’t come up with an acrostic using Bitch.

I’m working on an acrostic of my own, using Limp Vermicelli.

And when all is said and done the newt is a limp dick……..

It pisses me off no end …. so many men marry women and use them up until the women are in need of their support and assistance… And what do the mutants do? They abandon their spouses!

I’ve noticed at work that the men whose wives are chronically ill tend to be the ones who have been the least respectful of women. The illnesses cannot be the cause of the disrepect because they develop later in the marriage. Often I wonder about the correlation…

The Columbus Dispatch today’s issue:
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas failed for at least five years to report on his financial disclosures his wife’s income from a conservative policy group, according to the watchdog group Common Cause.
Between 2003 and 2007, Virginia Thomas, a longtime conservative activist, was paid $686.589 by the Heritage foundation, according to Common Cause review of Internal Revenue Service records. Thomas failed to note the income for those years, choosing instead to check a box titled “none” where “spousal income” should have been disclosed.

Federal jusdges are bound by law to disclose the source of spousal income, said Stephen gillers, a law professor at New York univesity Law School.

Since this is a pharmacist by pharmacist decision, go to your local drugstore where you get prescriptions filled, ask the pharmacists on duty if they would deny filling a prescription and for what reasons. If they say specify pro-life reasons, contact the store manager and corporate headquarters and tell them you will not shop at any of their stores that deny women service for whatever reason. This personalizes the corporate response that ‘this is a persona decision by individual pharmacists’ blah, blah. Put the heat on the pharmacist so that the corporation knows they will lose business because of that pharmicist and change the corporate policy of allowing a pharmacist to disciminate.

#52 headclunker…

no less than the great pulseless dick himself, Cheney, has praised Zerobama, for learning that Gitmo and the War on Terror must go on.

This week.

Glen Greenwald over at Salon has the rundown on this, and says Zero has not only continued the Bush Cheney policies, but codified them into law.

It’s all based on the Big Daddy must Keep Americans Safe doctrine. That is, that’s their cover story. We just need to accept that this is our nation’s biggest export…war and weaponry. And the right to spy on and/or kill any American citizen is because Big Daddy knows Best.

Giffords is doing well but remains in ICU because of fluid on the brain. She is trying to communicate and can stand with assistance. The article I linked above is regarding the prosecution of the shooter. He will be arraigned tomorrow afternoon.

He has one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the country. She was court-appointed. She has helped other sickos avoid the death penalty, which is fine with me as long as the sickos are locked up in a mental health facility that is secure for murderous nuts.

Oh, TT, HP, fixed scrambled eggs for the little dragonflies (the only way they will eat them), the eggs were mixed with a little organic whole milk and scrambled in a tablespoon of organic butter and salted with sea salt. YUM.

Gov. Perry endorses sonogram bill at pro-life rally

Fine with me, if Perry and the anti-abortionists are forced to view the remains of back alley abortions, children living in poverty and a plethora of other conditions, such as women and children living in squalid, oppressive, hopeless conditions who have NO CHOICE over what ‘others’ believe they have a RIGHT do with a woman’s body.

Screw him – and all self-righteous, anti-choice, alleged “Women’ Rights Advocates” who want to “bring us all together” to fight for their own damned “Women’ Rights” agenda.

http://www.wfaa.com/news/politics/Gov-Perry-endorses–114431514.html

Commenters ( 98 % against the bill):

“The bill tricky ricky is referring to is HB325 sponsored by Todd Smith. I am a Christian and for me personally abortion was not an option. That does not mean however that I am to condemn, judge or force my opinions on others. Forcing women to view a sono of their unborn baby when they have decided on abortion is just plain cruel and not right. We should be sick of the government having so much say in our personal lives. Tricky Ricky is just another politician that believes he knows best for all of us. I am here to tell you, he does not know best for me and my family.

“Yeah, so show it to me. Okay. Lump of unwanted flesh. Let’s get on with it doc. What’s next Guv? Ya wanna get Clockwork Orange on me, pin my eyes open and force me to watch a movie produced by the church lobby? Get your stinking laws off my body, leave my guns alone and quit wasting my tax dollars!”
—
“This is just flat cruel. It is also transparent. This is just a way for the fundamentalist, holier-than-thou, believe-like-I-do-or-you’re-wrong, self-righteous idiots to push their agendas down people’s throats. Why are they so worried about things that don’t concern them? Is their faith so fragile that they have to have the government validate it? And, what is this “pro-life” slogan all about? Just because I am pro-choice doesn’t mean I’m “anti-life.” It may have little to do with what I think of abortion, personally. I just don’t think I have the right to decide on abortion for someone else. Like justiceforjanell said, Perry needs to quit worrying about what goes on between all of Texas women’s legs. Maybe he’s so obsessed with it because nothing is going on between a woman’s legs in his home.”
—
“Typical men trying to humiliate the woman. . . .Why wouldn’t the pregnator be made to view it also ? What about the rapest, wouldn’t he want to see his unborn child ? What about incest, shouldn’t the grandfather, the uncle or the brother be allowed to see their unborn infant? What about drug addict fathers, shouldn’t they be allowed to see the beginnings of their child’s brain deformaties ? Oh, and don’t forget about politicians who want their mistresses to have abortions. . . .Will their wives get to view the sonogram too ? What about priests who get young girls pregnant ? Shouldn’t that priest have a right to see his child’s sonogram so God can Bless it before it dies ?”

Republicans say they want Obama to talk about cutting spending in his SOTU speech, but suspect he will talk about investing instead:

In his own preview, Obama told supporters in a video released Saturday that he will focus on economic issues, particularly jobs, as the economic recovery creeps along and unemployment hovers above 9 percent. His references to investing in educating workers and in research and technology set off alarms for Republicans.

“Any time they want to spend, they call it investment, so I think you will hear the president talk about investing a lot Tuesday night,” McConnell said. “We’ll take a look at his recommendations. We always do. But this is not a time to be looking at pumping up government spending in very many areas.”
snip
The second-ranking Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, warned against being “so laser-focused on the deficit that we ignore the obvious” such as education and competitiveness.

I just got back in town a couple of hours ago… when is lackwit scheduled to do his yammering?

While I was driving home and listening to local radio, the talking head said the gov of hawaii promised to get the vaulted copy of obama’s birth certificate released. The Gov was sworn in several days ago and now, as it turns out, no one can find it?
Has anyone else heard this? It seems odd given some republican official in charge of hidden birth certs said he had seen it.
Bizarrer abd bizarrer.

#83 – Here ya go…. Hawaii law bars release of Obama birth info

HONOLULU (AP) — A privacy law that shields birth certificates has prompted Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie to abandon efforts to dispel claims that President Barack Obama was born outside Hawaii, his office says.

State Attorney General David Louie told the governor that privacy laws bar him from disclosing an individual’s birth documentation without the person’s consent, Abercrombie spokeswoman Donalyn Dela Cruz said Friday.

“There is nothing more that Gov. Abercrombie can do within the law to produce a document,” said Dela Cruz. “Unfortunately, there are conspirators who will continue to question the citizenship of our president.”

Abercrombie, who was a friend of Obama’s parents and knew him as a child, launched an investigation last month into whether he can release more information about the president’s Aug. 4, 1961 birth. The governor said at the time he was bothered by people who questioned Obama’s birthplace for political reasons.

Fitness guru Jack LaLanne, 96, dies at Calif. home

LOS ANGELES – Jack LaLanne, the fitness guru who inspired television viewers to trim down, eat well and pump iron for decades before diet and exercise became a national obsession, died Sunday. He was 96.

LaLanne died of respiratory failure due to pneumonia Sunday afternoon at his home in Morro Bay on California’s central coast, his longtime agent Rick Hersh said.

LaLanne ate healthy and exercised every day of his life up until the end, Hersh said.

Appellate Court Bounces Rahm
Rahm Emanuel’s residency fight just took a turn for the worse.
The Illinois Appellate Court ruled 2-1 to overturn a Chicago Board of Elections decision to allow Rahm Emanuel on the mayoral ballot. Judges Thomas Hoffman and Shelvin Louise Marie Hall ruled against Emanuel and Justice Bertina Lampkin voted in favor of his inclusion.

Hoffman wrote in today’s ruling: “We … order that the candidate’s name be excluded (or if, necessary, be removed) from the ballot from Chicago’s Feb. 22, 2011.”
Emanuel’s Attorney Kevin Forde says “its a surprise.”

Thanks for the news, invalid! I am so lmao right now!!

Especially since Mosely Braun just kicked his sorry ass for his vile sexist remarks telling his *boys* to man up and “take the tampon out.”

Zee, lol you are so right! The fratboyz are running around like little mice now… scurrying around they are losing control of the Chicago connection. With Daly out and no one in their back pocket… I love it….

The year is on big blur so far…working so hard every day to stay ahead of the boyz… no time for anything..
I did get a new puppy..her name is Lucy..a jack russell you can see her on my fb page she is sooooo cute! Roxie needed a friend to get her off her big butt lol

Awwwwwww, congrats on Lucy, prplevette! Jack Russells are so smart. And cute.

Speaking of fuckwits… don’t these people have more importamnt issues they could be working on??

Lawmakers in States Seek to End Distracted Walking
January 24, 2011- Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

“Lawmakers in at least two states are looking to pull the plug on texting pedestrians and iPod-obsessed runners, claiming their diverted attention borders on disaster.

After targeting drivers who paid more attention to their phone calls and text messages than the road, lawmakers in Arkansas and New York are now looking to crack down on pedestrians equally distracted by their own electronic gadgets.

Lawmakers in both states have proposed restrictions on using cell phones and music players such as iPods by people running and walking on the street or sidewalk. The apparent message: Distracted pedestrians are dangerous.”

… almost as dangerous as distracted lawmakers!

Hoping Texas passes that law which would require candidates for the Presidency to prove natural-born citizenship.

Let’s live blog the SOTU… group barf is better than barfing alone… oh, wait, maybe not… but still, meet here for the Liar in Chief.

The BObots are cheering because BO has decided not to announce cuts to Social Security during the SOTU.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/24/white-house-social-security-cuts_n_813329.html

There are not enough barf bags in the world.

According to the repubs, Obama is not announcing any cuts in SS or anything, but instead is ‘investing’ in competition, education, etc. This does sound like his usual pronouncements that say nothing.

Oh yes, more and more keep realizing their mistake, but leave it to them to lay blame elsewhere and then take themselves out of the game. Exactly as intended by running the corporate puppet.

I just got a CODEPINK mailing….they’re giving Zerobama an “F” in some subjects, but an “A” in oratory. Nice try, but his schlocky spiel never fooled ALL of us.

Still, they did have some actions to do against Zero, and they have been critiquing him from day one, so the “A” in oratory is giving an out to the Obots, not to themselves. You catch more flies with honey…

one of the actions they list are protests against FBI raids the Zero administration has been running against peace activists. Apparently, 9 activists are facing court charges today….the petition has more info:
