hi boyz,
Are you guys gonna try to hook up with the folks over at Gay Patriot Wednesday night for dinner?
Looks like they are going to be in your neck of the woods!
http://www.gaypatriot.net/2010/05/18/chicago-dinner-tomorrow-weds-0518/
Let’s not forget that tomorrow is Everybody Draw Mohammed Day. I wonder how it will go down; somehow I don’t think anyone’s going to remember.
I was also wondering if you guyz had heard anything about Ken Cuccinelli, the AG of Virginia who’s suing Michael Mann ( climate change hockey stick guy) for misappropriation of public funds. I read about it in the Daily Telegraph two weeks ago then, boom, nothing. Nothing whatsoever.
We remembered! We bought sidewalk chalk last night in preparation!!
Sidewalk chalk….what a great idea!
In watching the news of the various elections last night, what was noticeable absent from commentary was the effect Sarah Palin had on those running for office. She early on endorsed Rand Paul and he won handily. She endorsed Tim Burns, but he was defeated. Is anyone keeping a tally of her endorsements and how these people did last night?
Also, it’s confession time, Boyz. Please forgive me, for I have sinned. I confess I flip flopped last night and did something I have not done in a long time. I channel surfed and turned on Chris “tingly” Matthews at MSNBC.
I was stunned to hear his harsh critique of CT’s AG Blumenthal, running for Dodd’s seat, and his lying about having served in Viet Nam. I’d love to know what you Boyz think about this. I understand FOX coming down on Blumenthal, but Matthews??? I know that he avoided Viet Nam by joining the Peace Corp and I have heard him thank servicemen over the years, so perhaps his criticism is genuine, but maybe you have another perspective I have not thought about.
It sounds like you received your penance…. shock over Tingles being harsh to Blumenthal.
Blumenthal must’ve pissed off Bumbles. Only way he wouldn’t cover.
The situation is a lot more serious than just lying about his Vietnam service. Gateway Pundit has the story about the “soldiers” that Blumenthal was using to support his position….
Maybe Matthews just woke up to the fact that, like Democrats, he may have to run for his job because he sees that the rest of the nation has turned off on Obama and opened their eyes. He’s just another expediency loving ‘pundit’.
This is not something the liberals can just blow off. It shows a major character flaw. To lie about being a Vietnan Vet is just atrocious. Imagine how the real vets feel. Would you have any trust about this guy’s vote? Would you feel like he would read a bill before he voted for it? Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this sinks him. That would be a major, major win for Republicans.
The worst of his “explanation” is that he never apologized! He said that he “regrets” his “misspoken words”. But then he lashed out at anyone who would “impune his service”. He obviously, like John Kerry, believes that the best defense is a good offense. And we all know how that worked for Kerry.
No one was “impuning his service” – and would never do so. What was implied was that he had favors to get into the Marine Reserves at that time, with no slots open. And that, after 5 deferments to keep him from battlefield action. His attitude in that “show” press conference was deplorable. His smarmy smile; his “tough guy” attitude with other Marine Reserves behind him at a VFW when none of them were VFWs.
I am curious to see what kind of hit he will take at the polls after this revelation.
Well, when he gave his press conference he was surrounded by a phony who has been outed–
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/05/post_198.html
I saw that today on the blogs! What a fool Blumenthal is in not vetting every person who was asked to back him up. Now he’s got an even bigger problem in associating with a “stolen valor” vet – one that not only embellished his service but his rank and his medals for wounds and bravery. Pathetic.
oops – make that Peace Corps (or is that Corpse!)
For the record, I believe that Blumenthal got 5 deferments and then ended up getting an assignment to the USMC Reserve Unit in Anacostia, in the DC area. This is where the Studmuffin drilled the semester he was at UM-College Park.
This Reserve unit is never activated; I can not find any instance of it ever being activated. Blumenthal’s “service” consisted of organizing the Toys for Tots Drive.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/18/nyregion/18blumenthal.html
FWIW, the Head of the American Legion also describes himself as a “Vietnam Veteran”, even though he never left Ft. Dix. For that reason, I know many servicemembers who refuse to join the Legion.
Tim Burns was a non starter. His campaign was so “unknown” that he is lucky he lost by just 30 points LOL
He never asked Sarah to come campaign with him and it made the difference.
The guy is unappealing anyways.
The GOP should have come up with something more exciting!
I’m still wondering what happened to William Russell???
Tim Burns was hand picked by the RINO Republican Committee here in PA.
It was stunning…because Lt. Col. Bill Russell ALMOST beat Murtha during the last General Election for PA 12. Burns was, as our Dear Hosts, the Boyz, would say ‘a cubumber and mayonaise sandwich.’ But since this is PA, substitutue iceburg lettuce for the obligatory arugala.
To add insult to injury…Burns beat Russell in the R primary yesterday…so the General Election (November) will be Critz vs. Burns.
Sigh. One of the hold backs from me changing my registration from D to R here (other than my liking to ‘vote against’ specific Dems) is the stupidity of the R leadership here.
Its like they don’t WANT to win.
Thanks for the update. We had given $$ to the Russell campaign both cycles, and couldn’t understand why they (the PA R’s) were supporting Burns. It’s almost too depressing for words.
Critz essentially ran on a Republican platform-anti abortion, anti bail out, anti everything liberal or Democrat. EXCEPT the promise of continuing the Murtha pork party in that district. PLUS Burns was smeared by the Dems, who lied that he would represent a 23% tax increase. Lesson to be learned here Republicans, PUNCH BACK and challenge how conservaitve these dems really are. Same crap Emmanuel used to get Blue Dogs elected, fake like the Democrat is really centrist.
Critz ran way to the right of Burns. He ran as a right-wing Democrat. More pro-gun than Burns; more anti-abortion than Burns; more fiscally responsible than Burns; lying right through the election. That district is 2 to 1 Democrat – but conservative Democrats. They want to believe that their chosen D will be as conservative as they are.
Burns will have to go nuclear to get some traction in the general. But with Critz being the “D” incumbent, and for sure there will be legislative issues that the D party will jump that shark with…he might have a chance. Critz has a little more than 5 months to make a mistake. And he will make a mistake. For some reason, the D’s just fall all over themselves down there.
The question is can the Burns campaign take advantage of any mistakes?
It is sad that the R party in PA is still stuck in the ’80′s as are so many states’ R parties.
Pundits are still infatuated with Hillary. Even Hillary infatuated Dick Morris. These folks say Obama’s popularity is going down and Hillary will resign and challlenge him in 2012.
If Hillary is not out by December(regardless of the Midterms) she is going down with Obama. If she decides to resign in 2011 she is toast. 2011 or early 2012 would be too late for her to detach herself from this administration.
Plus black voters will vote against her in primaries and the Democratic party will have its biggest loss since 1980.
Hillary time is gone and she is not getting any younger.
actually, Sarah did endorse Tim Burns.
I think Matthews is ticked off that this guy puts a safe D seat in jeopardy, and maybe the entire Senate. Don’t read anything else into it.
Exactly.
when it comes to Tingles and his big mouth you have to look at the content of what he says…..
I saw the video of Blumenthal’s mea culpa: it left a very disagreeable impression.
What a whiner. (Connecticut’s would-be answer to New York’s Representative Weiner.)
Didn’t Blummie look physically ill? He seems to have lost weight and hair and shrunk in stature. This has to be a shocker for the privileged AG who has floated through life.
He did no good for himself by surrounding himself with inarticulate vets who didn’t address the lies. And to learn later that one of them is a member of the stolen valor brigade (has claimed medals he didn’t earn). Is this an example of his choice of friends?
Mathews is an Obama infatuated-race-baiter leftist, but he is not a radical democrat like Oberman or Maddows
Matthews used to work for Jimmy Carter. He may not be as extreme as Maddows, but I would still put him in the same league as Olbermann.
oldyman has a really foul mouth and a brain full of mush… he says nothing… and people should pay no attention to his crack-brain
Don’t be too impressed with Matthews comments. He was real tough on Clinton when the whole blue dress thing came out too. Didn’t take him long to do the “180 cdance” though.
Here in PA, its still looking into “why Specter lost?”
How did this happen? Was it because of ‘anger’ at incumbents? Like Stonehinge, and Barky’s Nativity, its a huge mystery.
The word’s ObaMao Epic and Fail don’t seem to enter the thoguht process.
Pity.
FWIW, I hope Specter reverts to his generic Pensylvania roots. I hope Specter gets all bitter and clingy and kicks Barky square in his boney arse.
Think about it. Arlen could wreak some havoc. He already voted against Kagin once…do it again and make it a twofer!!! Cap and Trade (renamed American Power Act) shred it Specter, shred it. Evoke Scottish law, and shoot some verbal “magic bullets.”
Have fun Arlen…show The Won that that payback is a biotch.
Oooh! I hope you’re right and Arlen goes out doing the right thing instead of playing the suck-up game. If Sestak can beat Specter, lets hope the trend continues and Toomey goes on to defeat Sestak.
The write-ups I’m seeing about this election imply that it is a measure of our dissatisfaction with Washington. Since Philly is heavily Democrat and BO positive, they won’t extend that logic by pointing out that Pennsylvanians aren’t happy with the Community Organizer in Chief either.
I plan to vote for Toomey, and until recently I was a loyal Democrat.
I will also encourage others to do the same.
Michelle:
Yes, please do. The PA R party is so ineffective and clueless, its up to us to spread the word. I have no faith in the PA R’s.
Toomy is very unappealing and ugly, and Sestak is courting the conservative vote. Pennsylvania better not fall in the trick.
Sestak is an Obama supporter.
Toomey is a good guy. He actually used to be a Rep. from a Democrat district in Allentown, PA.
How in the world will Sestak try to court the “conservative” vote. He voted for Obamacare and Cap & Tax just to name a few. It’s common knowledge that Sestak is to left of Specter.
Toomey is ugly? Have you seen Sestak? He ain’t no Chippendale, I can tell you that. Why must everything revolve around a person’s outside appearance when its their principles that matter most in the end.
Plus, Sestak is an “incumbent” tied to Obama (as you stated). So, he is ripe for the “anti-incumbent” fever, which he thinks he has escaped just b/c he outsed Specter. He voted for all the bad stuff Specter did. So, I don’t know how that appeals to “conservatives.”
Sestak voted for Obamacare. Nuf said.
What’s the status of the investigation into the WH trying to bribe Sestak not to run against Specter? Wasn’t Issa looking into this? And didn’t Sestak admit the bribe was offered, but then he refused to say more?
ROTFLMAO…wiping my eyes here…that was funny…
White House? Investigation (into their own bribery)? Status…
I am sure (LOLing again) that Eric Holder’s Justice Department and Kubuki Theatre Group(tm) has THAT paper work in his ‘stack of stuff.’ Tucked waaaay under the Arizona Senate Bill 1070 that Holder hasn’t read yet either.
Not the WH or Holder. Darryl Issa, a Republican congressman, has been looking into it.
I did a quickie bing search…and I think Issa is ‘laying low’ waiting for reinforcments in November.
I don’t think anyone will ‘touch’ even criticizing (let alone taking a deposition) Barky.
No. The Obots will have to be completely powerless for Issa to go forward. And…wouldn’t bribery be a ‘high crime?’
Yeah, we’ll have to wait until the new Congress is seated before anything serious can be ramped up.
Sorry… Arlen Spector isnt going to do a damn thing. He’s a loser…. and has absolutely no spine, character or soul.
He has been in DC too long to know right from wrong.
good riddance.
Totally agreed that he’s been there too long. If the Tea Party is nothing else, it’s a giant bell ringing an alarm for term limits!!
However, Arlen can be a complete son-of-a-witch at times, especially when he thinks he’s right. Whether you like Clarence Thomas or not – think he’s a good justice or not – it was Arlan Specter who researched the powers against him during those nomination hearings. He treated all of the people who claimed “charges” against him like the prosecutor he once was and got all to admit that the “charges” were either untrue or so partisan as not to be believed.
He will need a little consoling after this, but it won’t come from the left, and certainly not the administration. Rendell did hundreds of interviews for him but did not have a get out the vote operation in Philadelphia. Obama dropped him like a bowl of last week’s oatmeal.
When Arlen hears the commentary that came from the anonymous administration hack “we got what we wanted from Arlan” in his votes for the stimulus and for health care he will blow. If he has any fight left in him at all, it will be ugly for the administration. Political betrayal is worse for these old pols than marital infidelity.
Specter who?
The other day I went grocery shopping at a small family chain store in the Chicago area, Caputo’s. It is staffed mostly by Hispanics, who speak Spanish among themselves. When I checked out, the Hispanic lady took my credit card, which cleared the charge, then she asked to see some ID. I said that I was only too happy to show my IL driver’s license. Now let’s see…I wasn’t stopped for a legal infraction, I’m very American looking, and my credit card cleared. So were my civil liberties violated? Just when is it OK to be asked to show ID and when is it not?
Perhaps Los Angeles should boycott Caputo’s Grocery!
I’m asked to show ID nearly every time I go to Wal-Mart. I think it has something to do with using a Discover card, but as soon as the transaction goes through, there’s always someone coming to verify that I am who I say I am. Guaranteed. Every time.
Interesting. I also have noticed that Target wants to scan your DL if you buy ETOH. I refuse. I give them my mil ID as proof of age which they can’t scan.
This is done at random at Macy’s too. Are we to get all upset and boycott all these stores? They say they are doing it for “our” protection, just so that no one “illegally” uses our credit card except us. Makes sense. It is a random check. These “illegals” get all upset because they have no ground to stand on when questioned. If anyone in Congress or Washington or anywhere bothered to actually read the 16 page AZ law, they would find out that the police can only stop people and ask for papers in connection with some other infraction. They do not knock on doors and ask to see I.D. or passports or visas. Eric Holder wants to sue AZ but admits to not having read the AZ law.
When the Miss Oklahoma was questioned at the Miss USA pageant, they incorrectly stated the issue (it was a loaded question designed to make sure she did not win the event and they gave it to a muslim-american). They said how do you feel about police stopping anyone and asking for papers? That is not how it works. They can only ask someone in conjunction with something else only going on. IMO, these kinds of questions should not be part of any pageant. They are loaded questions, inflammatory and the judges are looking for only one answer; if you do not answer they way, you have no chance to win the pageant.
I will not buy wine at Target since they not only want my DL but, scan it the same way they do with credit cards. Where does that information go?? Looking at the DL vs. scanning it makes it seem like big brother. Years ago I joked about having a bar code on my wrist….how soon will that be true now.
Walmart always asks for my ID when I use my MC or Visa credit card. The other major grocery stores do not.
I shop at Walmart almost weekly and have only been asked for ID once. I was told the register “randomly” selects customers for ID check.
I only get asked once a year for ID at WalMart. (to “update” their files, I suppose) And I always give them a state-issued non-driver’s identification. (which does not have my SSN on it.)
Here in California we routinely are asked to show photo ID when we use card for payments at the shops. No problem in my view.
Yes, when my son worked at “Gamestop” in CA, they were directed to hold the CC and ID in their hand while they did the transaction, b/c the rate of stolen CC use by teens was so high. When they started doing that, as soon as they held on to the card the teen usually fled the store. It greatly decreased the level of CC fraud/theft.
This is very interesting. I have never had my DL requested in any store here in NJ.
But I also don’t go to Walmart as it is too far away.
i’m in NY, thats NEVER happened to me..
gardener,
What The Heck you mean by you are “very American looking”????????????????????
I did not know Americans have some special “look”. Enlighten us please!!!
Don’t get your undies in a wad, Carmelo. American looking means looks like a mutt dog–a little of this, a little of that, can’t quite tell what your roots are. In other words, “American”
Here’s an interview with Charlotte Bergmann ~conservative black woman~ who is running for Congress as a Republican here in Memphis. It highlights our “fine” current Rep the very liberal Steve Cohen and our former mayor King Willie. Isn’t Memphis politics fun!
http://www.wreg.com/videobeta/15d64d21-5e5d-4bc7-8dc1-cbccc31f87ad/News/Tea-Party-Candidate-Running-Against-Herenton-Cohen
I can’t stand Steve Cohen – I’d vote for anybody running against him – even tho I don’t live there.
Mortgage Woes update: I am now over 6 months into the HAMP trial with Chase, my credit has been utterly destroyed, and I still have no modification to speak of. Disclaimer: I’m not a deadbeat. My husband and I have had our home since 2002, and never made a late payment until Chase advised us to miss one, in order to qualify for HAMP.
There’s hope though: Many mortgage companies assign and re-assign their loans, sometimes parsing them out in chunks to several different investors, and the note gets lost somewhere in the ether, just like all the HAMP documentation you’ve sent 70 times. You can demand to see a copy of the original note. In most states, if your servicer can’t provide it, they can’t foreclose until the original note is found. Any homeowner facing foreclosure should ask their servicer to ‘Produce the Note’ to protect themselves from facing the possibility of being pursued by other interest-holders after the foreclosure has taken place.
I’m sending 3 ‘Produce the Note’ demand letters via certified mail today. If they can’t produce the note in 10 days, they will get an ultimatum: stop foreclosure proceedings, or I will contact the media and advise our entire local viewing area to do the same thing I just did. It’s a great strategy, because it allows homeowners to remain in their homes, keeps your neighbor’s property values from falling even more, and sends a message to corrupt servicers, that consumers are smarter than they think. I hope this helps other struggling homeowners out there. Keep fighting!
I think Republcans take BOTH houses in November!
Fiorina should truce Barbara Boxer in California and Blanche Lincoln should start looking for another job!
On our minds this week is that in 12 days, North Alabamians get to vote out our own incumbent joker during the primaries. Fun times.
I just read an interesting post on one of my favorite Montana blogs about the stupidity of the clever folks who wrote the healthcare bill and forgot to put a severability clause in it!! LOL!!! This means that if any part of the bill is found unconstitutional, the whole thing could die.
Go give Steve at Rabid Sanity some love and read the full story – it’s a smile-maker: http://rabidsanity.blogspot.com/
Have a great day, everyone!
See, that’s what happens when you don’t read a 2,700 piece of legislation.
Also, 20 state AG’s are suing. Plus, if the individual mandate is found unconstitutional, Obamacare collapses.
A 2,700 page bill? These people can’t even read a 10 PAGE BILL!
Some of them probably can’t read at all.
Good point. Comprehension does seem to be an issue with this bunch.
Maybe Katie Couric can go and ask Congress if they read. If so, are Bills included in their reading list?
Good one Allie!!
Heh.
That will be a very interesting development, if it checks out.
I hope the various plaintiffs are looking into the matter.
I believe that Virginia’s Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli noticed the fact that the act was missing a severability clause (I think I remember reading about it in his complaint against ObamaCare). If he noticed, I’m sure he shared that information with all the other Attorney Generals. The AG’s have mentioned having conference calls to discuss legal strategy.
Yes, it was my favorite AG, Cuccinelli. He had an article about it in the Washington Examiner a while back.
Yes, this is what I am counting on! Our AG, Cuccinelli, is front and center in his determination to defeat this bill. He just gave another good speech to a non-partisan group here this weekend about the importance of defeating Obamacare in order to preserve our liberties.
Thanks for a HUGE smile, Auntie Lib!
I think BHO did admit he hadn’t read it, but the admission was through his mouthpiece Gibbs.
That is so impressive that your niece read the bill on her “own time” and so disgusting that our “paid” rep’s didn’t even care to see it before they signed it. If your niece ever runs for office, I’ll send money to her campaign.
According to a contract attorney I consulted, a severability clause is contract law and does not apply to legislation. Bummer.
Nice trolling, there.
Not to worry, the State AG’s will press ahead to have Obamacare overturned/declared unconstitutional. In the meantime, if “we the people” do our jobs and elect representatives who care about the Republic, Congress can refuse to appropriate funds for all of the items on Teh Won’s wishlist.
Nothing to be “bummed” about at all … unless of course, you’re an Obot/collectivist!
Just some FYI about the radical leftist thug Obama appointmented at the State Department who met with Chinese leaders recently and apparently “apologized” for the AZ law.
His name is Michael Posner. He is a radical leftist (surprise, surprise). He heads a group (Human Rights First) that is funded by George Soros who advocates AMNESTY and OPEN BORDERS. In fact he just recently was paid $1 million by George Soros’ group to do just that. After 9/11 he claimed that Americans treated Muslims worse than the Japanese after WWII. He advocated putting a memorial up for MUSLIMS at ground zero.
My question is this: WHY is this zealot at the state department?? Why isn’t Hillary coming out against this guy? Apparently, they sent out PJ Crowley to mumble something incoherently afterwards but Hillary has not said anything. This idiot should NOT be at the State Department or anywhere else in government in my opinion. It’s alarming.
Alarming. That’s a good word for ALL of them.
Oh! And I forgot to mention that during the war he sued Rumsfield for TORTURE allegations. A real patriotic fellow. It’s also no surprise he is a big Jimmy Carter fan.
Bev, the State Dept is a mess and has been for quite some time. IMO, it is one of the FIRST depts that our new President, SP, needs to do a major housecleaning in. She’s going to need a very big broom.
If Hillary can stay out of it, there will be nothing to quote later and she can more easily wash her hands of them, should she decide to run. Her problem will be justifying her silence. Could be she is biding her time until public opinion heats up a bit more?
It is getting too late for Hillary to run.. she has Obama stench ingrained into her skin right now… she should have turned her back ages ago… but she has not done that.
Concur. In these dark times, silence implies consent.
And when even the Boyz won’t back Hillary–or any Dem–ever again, that’s a sure sign you’re totally F’d.
“Open borders”.
Isn’t that what this president also implied in his joint conference with Mexico’s president today?
Yep – Hillary needs to GET.OUT.NOW!
RESIGN, HILLARY, RESIGN!
Anyone notice the resemblance between Michele Obama and Dr. Zira in the movie Planet of the Apes?
http://usa-wethepeople.com/2009/05/1646/?preview=true&preview_id=1646&preview_nonce=724bb9bf02
Bush the Chimp vs Dr. Zira and Michele Obama.
Now I will not say Obama is dumber than a chimp or a chimp in the White House would be better like liberal jerk said about Bush. And I really don’t want to compare Michelle Obama to Dr. Zira in the movie. No they are totally different beast. Dr. Zira was intelligent and compassionate. Michelle is more like a spoiled indulgent brat that is throwing a temper tantrum against all the white folks who scored higher on test and look more beautiful than herself. Now that her man is in power she’s going to make all those nasty evil white folks pay the price for her shortcomings. Using Marxism to justify her actions of course as any good totalitarian asshole does. Got to hide your own shortcomings somehow right Michele?

Sorry wrong link.
HB should copy that picture of Michelle up on Drudge this morning. It’s a stink eye if I’ve ever seen one.
I cringe every time I see that picture of Michelle coming off Air Force One. It shows so much disrespect. Her stinky sockless feet. That’s how I would dress to do yard work. Not travel as a representative of my country. It just shows her lack of respect for this country.
Wow, ‘stink-eye’ is right. That is one angry individual!
She’s trying her hardest to frown, but the recent Botox treatments are making it difficult.
It must be tiring to go around being so angry 24/7.
I’ve taken to calling her Miss Hell.
Holy cow! What event was that? The photographer must have felt a cold chill go down the spine.
Yikes!
“Permascowl”(tm)
Seriously. She is certainly Barack’s “bitter half”.
They deserve each other.
Barry has to wake up to THAT.
At least there is some justice in the world.
Couch would become my nighttime residence.

Mark, this link doesn’t work. What was it?
http://usa-wethepeople.com/2009/05/1646/
Sorry wrong link to the web page.
Compare this face to any pic of Sarah Palin, who, even after all she has endured, is always bright and smiling, happy to be alive, and properly socialized.
Michelle is the Gorgon, I feel myself turning to stone right now!
it is more like the “let them eat cake and FO look”
John Kerry ~who served in Vietnam~ doesn’t think that the goal of a missile defense should be to render nukes useless.
http://blog.heritage.org/2010/05/18/guest-blogger-will-start-treaty-weaken-u-s-missile-defense-senator-kerry-seems-to-hope-so/#more-33987
The lefties and Dems don’t get it. The main role of the Federal government is National Defense, not counting our calories.
Insane.
EXACTLY. The main role of our government (and the President) is to protect and defend our borders and our constitution from all who would do us harm. This is a sad, sad time in the history of our country when we can’t even depend on our President to do his number one job.
Another member of the Kennedy Clan doing one of the the 3 things Kennedys do best:
http://www.nypost.com/iphone/story.php?feed=/export/redesign/www/iphone/rss/gossip.xml&id=4.2.1626961602&pos=gossip_p6stories_05
That clan is such a bunch of losers!
The men are all serial adulterers or drunk drivers and the women are all alcoholics.
In this case, tick one from ‘Column B’ and one from ‘Column C’.
This is a nice touch FTA: ‘Earlier last week, Bedford police responded to two distress calls from the Kennedy family home…’
Princess Caroline of Kennedy apparently was unavailable for comment.
She was…probably…um…you know… at Bergdorf’s… or lunch… or at the orthodontist having her teeth rotated.
Teeth rotated!! Heeee.
If I were married into that family, I’d have a drinking problem, too.
I know this was posted here on yesterday’s live thread…but it needs to go viral on the web. Because the Lames WON’T cover this revelation of where Dear Leader’s head is really at:
http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/05/sick-obama-says-daniel-pearls-beheading-captured-the-worlds-imagination-video/
Obama, in the embedded video, discusses the gruesome, horrific beheading of American journalist Danny Pearl (because he was an American and a Jew!) with the calm sing, song tone one uses at the Wendy’s drive thru…
Oh. And Barky claims, the abject act of toruture, captured on film ‘captured the imagination of people around the world…’
I have also linked to a discussion thread on this subject over on FR. The FReepers discuss the Narcisstic Personality Disorder that leads one to ‘think like that.’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2516343/posts
I cannot fathom how Dear Leader came to string THOSE WORDS together.
What. The. F. Is. Wrong. With. Him???
We need to get the RNC and Tea Party folks to rally around and contribute to Star Parker’s campaign in L.A. County.
http://hotair.com/greenroom/archives/2010/04/21/star-parker-v-radical-ethically-challenged-maxine-waters-acolyte-in-california-37/
That would be a GREAT win. Maxine Waters is a member of the Socialist party and is proud of it. She’s famous for admitting that the Democrats want to take over the oil companies. She’s also the one who first trumpeted the “racist” tea party people in Washington when the Black Caucus staged their FAKE walk-thru on their way to voting for the healthcare bill with Jessee Jackson Jr running frantically behind with his cameras trying to find somebody yelling something racist (which he apparently couldn’t find because the Tea Party is not racist. It would be a very sweet defeat if we could get this socialist zealot out.
Maxine Waters: “This liberal will be all about socializing … uh uh will be about taking over and the government running [oil] companies.” In context, this was during the high gas prices in May, 2008. Here’s the clip:

And the liberal media laughed and made light of it, calling it ridiculous that the government were ever take over private companies…They lied thru their teeth.
As long as they’re passing every regulation that can be dreamed up, let me add a requirement that a Representative pass the following: a) an Economics class; b) civics class; c) economics class.
and be drug tested.
We need to telling folks like FOX and even CNN, to cover Ms. Parker and her viewpoints. She knows the welfare system firsthand and teaches through her group CURE that capitalism can help motivated individuals overcome poverty. Her election is in June.

Fabulous piece over at Bookworm Room:
http://www.bookwormroom.com/2010/05/18/the-illogical-behavior-and-beliefs-of-the-american-statist/
“Neither Data nor Mr. Spock, two relentlessly logical creations, could ever be liberals or Democrats or Progressives, or whatever the Hell else they’re calling themselves nowadays. (For convenience, I’ll just lump them all together under the “Statist” title). As I realized over the 20 plus years of my political journey from knee-jerk Statist to thinking Individualist, the single greatest difference between the two ideologies is that the former lives in a logic-free world.”
Very disturbed by this article on Drudge:
http://www.ktvu.com/news/23592937/detail.html
Where to start? In this day and age, there can be no guarantee their DNA information will be kept confidential; the ginning up of enthusiasm for this extreme invasion of privacy by enticing kids to be “cutting edge” reeks of subliminal persuasion; “advising” students to read behavioral guides and lectures for non-participants – is it a college or reeducation camp (purely rhetorical question)? Robin of Berkeley – if you read Hillbuzz – Please write a commentary!!!!
I don’t see an e-mail for Robin of Berkley over at American Thinker, but she has said in the past that she reads the comments over there. You might want to think about posting a comment in her most recent article?
I read this on Drudge this AM as well, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. They want to make it innocuous but make it ingrained that of course, you turn over your DNA and then, submit to biometric scans.
What bothered me even more than the DNA swabs was this statement:
“There will also be a variety of events and lectures at the campus on lifestyle choices for all undergraduate students who choose not to participate in the DNA program.”
Lifestyle choices? I get this unpleasant view of military-recruiting-style booths set up for various lifestyles. Of course, white, heterosexual,capitalist, conservative, NRA, Republican and Christian booths would not be welcome; this IS Berkeley, after all.
What a change! At one time UCB was noted for the quality of its educational programs; now they specialize in re-education.
How personal does it get to ask someone for their DNA?
And idiots go ‘yeah, sure, ayuk, here’s my genetic code, have at it…’
Fools.
I know someone already posted this, but it’s worth posting again.

Just contributed to Dale Peterson’s campaign because he cracks me up.
http://www.dalepeterson2010.com/
What a HOOT!! Loved the gun – “Let’s show Alabama we mean business” indeed!!
I’ll contribute too!
Heard him yesterday on Beck…
Glenn Beck interview with Dale Peterson:
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/05/18/audio-glenn-beck-interviews-americas-next-president/
Dale who?
Dale Peterson is running for Alabama’s Agriculture Commission. Check out his ad just above at post 22. His straight-talking ad has gone viral!
How dare Obama allow the president of mexico to come to the US and condemn our sister state of Arizona..thank God the day that evil man is voted out of office…eff him.
U got it man. O is a complete f’ing disgrace. Hope they impeach his ass when the new congress is seated.
Especially when you consider how Mexico deals with illegal aliens! Mexico has much more draconian laws that we have!
When confronted with someone complaining about Arizona and US immigration law (or the Aztlan types), one should remember Mexican immigration law. “I agree, Mexico is a wonderful country and their immigration law should be a model for this country.” Guaranteed to leave them sputtering.
If Calderon is so freaking concerned about his people WTF doesn’t he work harder to make Mexico habitable? Hey Calderon, its your freaking fault that YOUR COUNTRY SUCKS!!! Don’t you just love these self righteous law breaking illegals who abandon their own countries instead of working hard to make them better, sneak in OUR COUNTRY , then condemn US. A real POTUS would tell Calderon to screw off!!!!
Well said.
Ditto!!!!
I tend to think Mexico dumps their unwanted citizens on our border. When 7 out of 10 people who have been arrested have Hispanic names it is a clue. The people here legally are just as against illegals as the rest of us.
Has anyone else noticed that the “one”‘s timing seems to be off? This Mexican president/state trip has been on the calendar for quite a while. You don’t just have a state dinner like the snap of a finger.
We the people have been outraged at the administration’s attitude and commentary on the AZ law with their “I haven’t read it but it’s discriminatory” BS and most recently the State Dept apologizing to China for our State of AZ. At this very time, he has the president of Mexico to the White House with all the bells and whistles – and the Mexican president calls out the discrimination against his citizens!!
The timing of this couldn’t be worse for the “one”.
I predict that he’s going to have a rough 5 months through November. The magic is gone. People are angry with him – but worse, they are laughing at him. The WH press corps is ticked at him. I don’t know how many times I heard some talking head today ask “Why isn’t he able to get D’s elected?”
Yep. The magic is gone.
How dare the President of the United States stand up with a leader of a foreign country, encourage, support and defend that country, while he turns his back on an entire state of the United States of America and the majority of its people!
Here in Columbus, OH, our brilliant mayor has banned city financed travel to AZ. LOL What a doofus!
On Class v Crass, on alert to see what horrid dress MO wears tonight. What will be her posture? Will the world’s imagination be captured by a beheading tonight? Will there be a re-enactment of the Alamo with the Mexicans winning?
Maybe she will dress as a taco or burrito…or wear the Mexican flag draped over her shoulder…
My money’s on dressing like Chiquita Banana.
Nah. Chiquita had style – and a smile.
We can hope she wears a sombrero over that sour puss mug of hers….
Has anybody gotten a pic of the place setting this time around? The last one–green and purple was simply ghastly!
How many more of these stupefyingly offensive comments will the First Sh!thead get a pass on?
Obama: Daniel Pearl’s Beheading ‘Captured the World’s Imagination’
http://www.thefoxnation.com/daniel-pearl/2010/05/19/obama-daniel-pearls-beheading-captured-worlds-imagination
I know. I felt nauseated, literally nauseated, when I read that.
Isn’t that something you say about the Olympics or discovering a rare archeological find?
Oh, but “he’s such an intellectual”.
It’s said about something you “aspire to doing.” Someone plays a beautiful piano piece that leaves people in tears of joy and feeling, and it’s said to have “captured the imagination” of the audience.
I wonder, does Obama “aspire to do” what KSM did to Daniel Pearl?
Yeah, I always imagine myself getting a good beheading
In the realm of Class vs. Crass . . . this is SO CRASS! I don’t see how Pearl’s beheading captured imagination. I don’t want to imagine it. I don’t want to think about it other than to acknoweledge how ruthless and vile the Islamofacists are and to mourn Pearl’s death.
Elsewhere I read that while presenting this award–I believe Pearl came up in relationship to an award–for journalism and a free press, Obama refused to answer questions.
too much
Oh my God. He actually said that?
Yeah. I was too. Not defined by our borders? Hello!! That is precisely what defines us! When does America become Canada? At the border!
Duh!!
Good grief.
That was totally the wrong thing to say and I don’t understand how he could come up with that phrase for decapitating a Jew in islamic jihad.
Very twisted and bizarre.
So, I haven’t paid MO any nevermind since she wore the Holiday Inn curtains to the Inaugeral parade until the Hill guys ran that deliciously witty and snarky piece on her wardrobe and a$$. Anyway, there’s a picture of her up on Drudge and she is looking way pissed and the nose just doesn’t fit the face! She really did have a nose job. When did this happen? Between the election and the swearing in? Don’t you have to go undercover for a while after that kind of surgery? I haven’t read word one in the press and you’d think the Jessie Jackass types would be having coniption fits.
For the first time in her adult life she is not proud of her God-given, natural, AA nose.
It appears to be transformed.
Michelle has definitely had a nose job, the bridge is much more refined and narrow. She probably had the guy that can do it without much trauma–the one that did Jennifer Aniston and Ashley Simpson. It does improve her appearance slightly. But the inside is still as ugly as ever.
She wisely refrained from utilizing the services of Michael Jackson’s various plastic surgeons.
Disgusting: President of Mexico bashes Arizona ID Law.
Done from White House lawn!

If Almadinejah or Chavez insult and attack Americans, Obama would stand up and salute them unconditionally!
Well, I wish I could say I was “surprised” and “dismayed”, but it was pretty much what I expected. Just another day in paradise.
What’s next — a rant by Ahmadinejad against the Great Satan from the Rose Garden with O looking on with his special grin?
The President of Mexico has some nerve — but then he probably figures that he should get his licks in now; given his attitude it’s not likely that he’ll be invited to visit our country at all after January 2013.
Obama on Daniel Pearl’s death. No further comment needed:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8HNG6Z9LbA&feature=player_embedded
Something is way off with Barry.
Have you ever dealt with an addict? His whole defensiveness and mockery and I’ve watched at least two speeches where his eyes are at half mast and his speech is slightly slurred. Remember when he took an unscheduled trip to his daughter’s “soccer game” and there was no game? Why no presser for almost a year? And his gaffes are worse (and a lot less funny) than Biden’s. I think maybe the boy toy is falling apart right in front of us.
Faster please…lets put that scenario in Fast Forward !
his eyes keep darting everywhere. He is incapable of looking into the camera. From the point of view of body language that is a very bad sign… it shows that he has something to hide… which is obviously very true.
This clip is absolutely sickening. “Imagination”?????
I can only hope enough true Patriots get elected to impeach this anti-American embarrassment.
Yes, and just so you know. Daniel Pearl was not barbarically killed because he was a journalist, but because he was a Jew. Obama fails, or refuses, to grasp this.
May Daniel Pearl rest in peace.
Mr Soetoro knows very well that Daniel Pearl was killed because he was a Jew. That’s one more reason why he enjoyed the scene.
Don’t forget that it was Kahlid Sheikh Mohammed that decapitated Pearl on screen. And Eric Holder who delayed justice on this animal.
I haven’t forgotten — nor have millions of other Americans and our friends, I’d bet.
What a way with words, Barry! And you say you’re an author.
Unless perhaps with that remark you said exactly (without any “nuance”) what you meant to say …
Here I’d say what I truly think of you were I not mindful of the decorum we try to preserve however imperfectly here (and of the attention of various government agencies) …
http://biggovernment.com/fgaffney/2010/05/19/kagan-shill-for-shariah/
Excerpt:
It turns out that, at the very moment Ms. Kagan was pushing aggressively to remove military recruiters from the Harvard Law School campus during her tenure as its dean, she was very supportive of having what amounted to Saudi recruiters ensconced there for the purpose of enlisting some of the nation’s finest young lawyers to work for the industry known as Shariah-Compliant Finance (SCF).
Kagan is not qualified to be in the SCOTUS. This is outrageous. Damm justices are retiring so Obama can appoint more leftists.
Kagan may qualify as a scrotum not a scotus….
Oh you snagged that adorable kitty photo from Michelle Malkin’s site. So cute!
Kagan is a liar, a socialist and may have supported groups that advocate Sharia. Do not think for one minute she is a benign pick–Obama only chooses those people that agree with his radical agenda. DO NOT BE FOOLED.
This has got to be stopped. Yesterday I had a “discussion” with a young man who thought anyone objecting to the maximosque at ground zero was intolerant. He used the “bigot” argument, of course, and said we were all “unchristian” (with the lower-case “C”). I won the debate. Just keep two things in mind: (1) Jesus doesn’t support evil and (2) the tenants of Islam are evil. Doesn’t mean everyone who is Islamic are evil, but the cult is evil. List what Islam believes about women and children and be very, very blunt about it. It’s a cult whose sole purpose is unrestricted dominance over women and female children. 9 year olds are “married” in Iran. Mohammed’s favorite wife was 9. They’re rapists, pedophiles, they cut off hands, feet, heads and if someone can name even ONE country controlled by these barbarians where the vile isn’t excused or practiced outright, I’ll buy and wear a copy of MO’s couch suit.
Another thing, I asked Mr Anti-bigot, how he would like a monument to the Glorious Confederacy in front of the Lincoln Memorial? Or statues of Lee and Jackson in the Capitol? Or a Confederal Battle Flag planted in front of Booker T. Washington’s house? He responded that that was different because the mosque wouldn’t have a statue of Bin Ladin. (God preserve us from the sophism of progressives)…
I’m sick of giving Islam a pass. Beliefs and philosophies are not equal and some things are so abhorent, it’s abhorent to be tolerant of them. Like the legal rape of children.
It’s ridiculous when non-Christians try to throw those kind of arguments around. If you have any respect for a religion (any religion) you are going to LEARN about it. Putting a mosque at ground zero has nothing to do with just “putting up a mosque”. It is being put there as a symbol to the muslim world of conquest. It is being put there as a slap in the face of every New Yorker. The fact that city officials in NYC are IGNORANT and don’t realize it, or that people like Michael Posner who ADVOCATES a Muslim monument at ground zero, are able to wheazle their way into getting it done is a sign to me that Americans are not paying attention. Which is what got us to this point in the first place. Ignoring, making excuses, pretending away, buring your head in the dirt does not make the situation go away. It makes it worse. All these idiots who do these things are going to be standing around blaming the government when a nuclear weapon explodes somewhere in this country and THEY are the problem.
He responded that that was different because the mosque wouldn’t have a statue of Bin Ladin.
That would be really funny if it weren’t such a tragedy.
When they call you “bigot” and “racist”, they’re really just saying “shut up”. Thank goodness for people like you standing up to them when they use this tactic!
Guyz and Girlzz
Bristol Palin should go to college and make a career. Become an example for young American women. Cashing in her Mom’s fame is not good for her CREDIBILITY. I hope that between speeches she keeps on attending college, graduate and become a normal next door kind of girl like her Mom was.
Charging 10,000 dollars to talk to people just because she is the daughter of Sarah Palin will look VERY bad among young Americans that try to survive day by day and make a career.
The left will use this as weapon against her Mom comes 2012.
welp, finally got discharged from the hospital (24 straight hours of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and Star Trek: TNG marathons on SyFy), I check the blogosphere, and find I’m too tired to sift through it all.
Who’s got the highlights?
Glad you’re better! Get some rest!
Oh my — that food poisoning really went south I gather.
Glad that you’re on the mend!
Highlights … let’s see … Obama has been assailed over the last week repeatedly by Sarah Palin (and, freakishly, by a swarm of bees at the White House) and hasn’t got the better of her, to put it mildly. The Arizona law has been at the center of it. (Apologizing to China for Arizona, if you can believe it; and letting Mexico’s President rant against the state during his official visit to Washington.)
It’s as though the big O is getting tired, and beginning again to commit serious unforced errors. He just stepped into the mother of all gaffes (if that was what it was, which can be debated): it concerns Daniel Pearl. Many comments on it in this very thread.
Yeah, the viral gastroenteritis (actual diagnosis; nothing related to food apparently, despite the 10 pieces of sushi and undercooked salmon) did a number on me. 5+ Liters of fluid loss with less than 1.5 L intake over a twenty four hour period. Number of trips to the head was obscenely high. Fell down a few times, I was so weak and dizzy. Good now, though.
–
So Brambles pulls another two faceplants while I’m laid up. Good ‘un. I love watching my CIC make an ass of you and me.
What’s this I’m hearing about Eeyores whining about the PA-12 election? It’s really hard to believe that the D’s would STILL hold a majority after this year.
Sorry that your bout of food poisoning took a turn for the worse, but glad to see you are feeling better.

check out the comments.. some are hilarious!
The comments are a HOOT!
I was wiping tears from my eyes after reading a few of those.
This comment says it all:
“Because nothing says “Britain” like a creepy bipedal showerhead/penis thing with lobster claws.”
ROFLMAO!!!
“I think I speak for everyone here when I say
Jesus F!@#!@# Christ”
LOLOLOLOL
No, you do not sepak for me. Do not take the name of my Lord in vain. Please refrain from such comments in the future.
That was one of the comments in the linked articles, not my words.
But I apologize, sincerely, for offending you.
Thank you for apologizing, blowbama.
I share CTmom’s sentiment and appreciate your sensitivity on the matter.
That was weird.
As I was reading the article, it was like I was suddenly transported into a Jack Vance novel where one of the characters was doing the evening news.
Guyzz,
its funny how “polls” disfavorable to Sarah come up every time she has a good day or week in the news. Now there is a “poll” showing non other than the king of universal health care and closet abortionist Mitt Romney with a 41% support in New Hamphire while Sarah is second with only 11%.
Then they say that 85% of NH Republicans are not even sure who they are going to vote for in January 2012.
Expect more and more “polls” disfavorable to Sarah as she hits the news and make speeches. By the time she tours Europe in 2011 these “polls” will show Romney crushing her 10 to 1. Just watch!
Actually, I just saw a poll in Colorado that has her ahead of Romney and Huckabee both.
Yes, that poll caught the attention of a lot of the C4Pers, including Techno on the comment strings.
Pols are only public opinion makers.
I signed it. Gov. Brewer can surely use the expression of support.
Signed.
Folks, there are so many awful things going down, but this report nearly made me (a New York voter) vomit, literally:

Yeah I read that. Let them try it…I swear there would be a revolt like Obama has never seen.
Would it be the last straw? I hope so.
Which is what he wants I believe to justify enacting Marshal Law. That may sound tin foil hatty but considering his comments about us having too much information, I believe he’s goading us to take to the streets.
That doesn’t mean that we should lay down and not fight for our freedom, just be aware of the actual game being played.
Straight to FB with it … what next? Concentration camps for conservatives?
All this nonsense is startin’ to annoy me…
If they try it, there will be yet another challenge in the Supreme Court and they will lose.
the Citizens United case is very clear on the subject of free speech.
Start praying that dumbnut Kagen does not end up on the SCOTUS. She is inexperienced and dangerous
Americans would not tolerate it.
A friend also said that “Americans would not vote for BO because he is too leftist” and yet he is our president. Americans are “tolerating” things now that they would not have 20 years ago.

This is funny…it’s basically calling Anthony Weiner out for his attacks on Glenn Beck. Funny thing is…HB I think they read your blog because the cucumber and Mayonnaise weiners sure look FAMILIAR!!!
We should be doing this kind of stuff. HEY! We could do a website called SOROS FACTS and do basically the same thing but show all the George Soros crimes going on. Is that illegal? Apparently not since the Weinerfacts.com is doing that with WEINER.
Who else could we do? This could be so fun.
I know. I think everyone is reading hillbuzz because I have seen remnants or their posts on lots of sites, even American Thinker. Some of their phrases and wording are hard to forget.
We should do this with George Soros. Actually, there’s a few people we could do this about. Is it legal to start a website to educate people about illegal things or people involved in socialist activities?
Campbell Brown Quits CNN. America collectively asks, “Campbell Who?”
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/37223378/ns/today-entertainment/
seriously, she uses the total lie that she’s unbiased and everyone else is extreme and biased and she has too much “INTEGRITY” to play that game. What a delusional leftist idiot.
I don’t know…doesn’t her husband work for Fox? Dan Senor (spelling)..maybe she’ll finally come to her senses…MAYBE…
Isn’t “delusional leftist idiot” redundant?
Oh, I don’t know that it’s redundant.
Granted there is some overlap. But notice how each attribute brings out a slightly different facet of the syndrome, each subtly enhancing the others for a fuller, more comprehensive picture. Sort of like tones in a musical chord.
I find the combination quite satisfying, actually.
Campbell Brown is a twit. I doubt that anybody will even notice she’s gone.
I love this comment from her: ‘…not enough people want to watch my program’.
Well…DUH!
My nephew was a producer over at CNN and he couldn’t take it anymore and left to work at a local station. He worked there a long time and told me all kinds of horror stories. He said Glenn Beck was the only other person there that he agreed with at the time but they were so outnumbered it was scary. Long before anybody said it he knew Obama was going to win the election. They had meetings about slanting the news deliberately. It’s still hard to believe that this happens in our country. How the socialists got a hold of the news organizations and wheazled into our children’s schools and how Hollywood has drunk the Kool-Aid. It’s just unbelievable to me how many people fall for that crap.
Thank God for the real news folks who fight the battle to give people true news.
We need more of them.
Well, I don’t post often but I cannot shake my anger at the Republicans in office. WHO is going to stand beside Governor Jan Brewer? How utterly asinine to let her fight this fight by herself. Yes, she has the support of Sarah Palin (thank God) and lots of US citizens but where are our elected officials???
Obama allows Calderone to blast Arizona from the White House!!! and then adds a bit of his own crap on top. Any true Americans who are willing to not go to the state dinner and, in fact, publicly denounce it????????
No Republicans will be attending the state dinner…it is reported that some were invited but declined to attend..yeah right..
Have you SEEN Michelle’s state dinner dress?

We’ve got side-boob, we’ve got a wookie belt, we’ve got a Pebbles Flintstone neckline, and we’ve got a heretofore unnamed wig (I’m thinking ‘Aretha’). It’s REALLY special.
Holy…! She looks like Xena Flintstone.
And yet the Deluded, Dumb, Crazy, or Foreign zombies at Hissypuff still bloviate all over themselves and laud the look.
Done.
Newsbird’s Mexican State Dinner Up
http://newsbird.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/michelle-obama-a-vision-in-blue-tarp-for-mexico-state-dinner/
Because the LSM won’t do it
OMG! That is my roof from Katrina that she is wearing! And as someone posted over there, it’s duct tape for a belt!
My daughter says she looks like one of those big punching balloons that kids can buy at Walmart…the one with the big rubber band on it.
Mark -that is perhaps the best description yet! I also love the commenter who likened it to a tacky stage curtain from an Elvis review!
The belt reminds me more of a folded over emergency Space blanket.
Well, I guess if you can rummage around the WH gift shop for “gifts” for our allies, you can rummage around the Emergency Kit for your wardrobe, too.
Tarp is the right word for it. Did we pay for it as part of the stimulus package?
What an awful outfit. Painful too, I should think, as it seems to be poking her in the right breast, and there may well be a wire frame in there — the belt required some extra assistance if it was to do its job.
And the clown-in-chief looks goofy at this state dinner. Well, why not — all decorum is long gone, the visiting Presidente saw to that with his rant against Arizona.
the belt makes her ass look like two hot air balloons!!
The dress is so very unflattering. Enough with this single shoulder strap crap
Where does she find this stuff? What a butt-ugly woman. And that wig! All right, Boyz, you have your work cut out for you. Looking forward to the next “Who’s Better Dressed”
Denise, you’re right on the ball, as usual!
Where to begin with this outfit???
Does she order these out of a Sears catalogue or what? She couldn’t have tried it on surely. Who would wear something that looks so painful? That frontal shot is just dreadful. I wonder if her arm went to sleep during dinner from having the circulation cut off.
And that shiny fabric!! It looks so cheap.
On the plus side, she finally took my advice and opted for a soft wavy wig…er…hairdo, which is so much more flattering. OTOH, the overly heavy false eyelashes give her a 1960′s Diana Ross look.
It’s hardly even funny anymore…it’s just embarrassing.
Just ridiculous. Notice the staged affection. BO looks pale and sickly.
It’s front page on Drudge! It’s hideous! I don’t even have the words, it’s just embarrassing.
ARMS!!!!!
Sorry.
Pjean, I was thinking same. This is the face of fitness in America? What happened to those “finely toned arms”? They’ve gained a goodly cushion of fatty fat at the public trough.
I see that MO’s task in the fundamental transformation of America is to fundamentally transform our sense of women’s “fashion.” They are really going whole hog in remaking America into all things hideous.
One of those pics shows the dress on the side. You can clearly see 2 things. 1 – she has already stepped on the hem and it is falling. 2 – there is some kind of back swoosh as well. It looks like a ribbon hanging down.
She’s been FLOTUS for 16 months and still can’t find a style. She either doesn’t want to be “hemmed in” with a type/style or she is just a blank slate that she allows others to use for their advancement….OR she has the absolute worst taste known in the 21st century.
Check out Sarah on a 25+ minute interview on Fox Business’ Nightly Scoreboard tonight. Sarah is ABSOLUTELY proving her bona fides as a candidate! Wow! Absolutely stunning, without a single fumble. Sarah is smarter than all the men in politics now put together!

*IF* there are any moderates in Hezbollah, they are not an indication of the whole somehow shifting to a more moderate position but rather the entity recognizing that more power can be obtained, and thus the radical agenda more quickly attained, if they infiltrate the government by having members of the Lebanese parliament. That way they won’t have to kill the next leader they disagree with, they can just elect/appoint one of “their own”.
And Dr. Utopia’s admin wants to bolster these “moderate elements”. Let me translate, he wants to give them MORE support to further their goals instead of opposing them like we have been. Ridiculous!

ps – this is linked to from Atlas Shrugs also.
there are no moderates associated with Hezbollah. That kind of thinking is oxymoron.
There is no such thing as a moderate terrorist. They either cut your head off or kill your family. Take your pick.
Or sometimes, if you’re really lucky, you get (a) AND (b).
Anyone notice that the Obamas are puling out the red carpet for Mexico, while refusing to break bread with France, Israel, and other actual allies?
Oh, yes. Quite clear!
Yes, and I’m deeply offended. But hey, what else is new?
That has not been missed.
O is consistent if he is anything.
180 degrees the wrong way on all matters foreign and domestic.

That first picture is scary. She is just evil looking. Get the feeling she slaps the help around? I can’t WAIT for them to write THEIR books after BO gets thrown out on his butt. I bet she got her nosework done right after they took office because she seemed to disappear for a while. Like it did any good. She still has the stink eye and kangaroo behind.
‘Kangaroo behind’…LOL! Perfect.
Bev, you BAD!
Nose still biggish at inauguration. Didn’t she take time out last summer? Announced it ahead of time.
Damned. Looks like that blue thing she’s wearing is about to cut her right shoulder off from under her arm.
I am back in the ‘bad’ graces of the WordPress Obot Gremlins, as an earlier post went ‘poof.’ It was on the traits of Narcisstic Personality Disorder needing to be present in Dear Leader for him to link together the words ‘beheading’ and ‘captured the world imagination’ in the same sentence, delivered in a sing songy cadence. No empathy for the victim or his survivors. Just captured imaginations…
What’s wrong with him???
Well, apparently nothing that even MORE Wagyu beef (served with a 29 ingredient mole sauce) can’t help. While Chef Bayless is slaving away in the White House kitchen (between Tweets) to feed the beautiful peeps on our TARP dime; the rest of us are checking the seat cushions to buy a seven layer burrito at Taco Bell. Thanks ObaMao econoME!!!
Which leads to Barky and MissHell working the red carpet. The missus resplendent in a “tarp blue” one shoulder gown.
I wonder what the official protocal for ‘chip’ carrying is with couture??? Anybody??? Is it worn on the fabriced shoulder or not???
What a night…in the words of Moachelle…”Let them eat mole!”
You really ought to do your own blog. Good stuff.
Thank you for your kind words. I am still begging college age son to ‘build my page’ for me. He is a COMP SCI MAJOR…so you’d think he could take an hour…and…
LOL…won’t even mention how long I was in labor with him…
Hopefully soon, though.
Thank you for your kind words…

I’m stealing “Let them eat mole!” Lol.
In honor of last night’s event, I am lunching upon a Lean Cuisine, Chicken Enchilada Suiza. I promise to ‘scowl’ while dining too…

Don’t do it, Mary.
Your face will STAY like that!
Look what happened to the FLOTUS!
So who paid for Mooch’s new nose?

Thanks for the link, I’ve signed it.
Have you seen the latest photo of Michelle on Drudge? Not the ugly one from this morning with her arched eyebrows and permanent scowl, but evening shot of her in blue dress and over the top make-up waiting for the Mexican Pres., you know, the one who bad-mouthed AZ today in the Rose Garden with BO watching in agreement.

Am I the first to post a photo link for tonight?
“Me Jane” is my caption. Very tight, off-shoulder dress. Pretty color. Did she get a perm or did she stick her finger in a socket? Mad look as per usual.
A rather Amazonian look. Perhaps it’s fitting for the Latino guest.

Looks like she’s wearing a recycling bag.
http://www.ci.irving.tx.us/solid-waste-services/images/blue%20bag.jpg
Wow. The first thing that came to mind was — 10 lbs of mud, 4 lb bag — who ever gave the idea that you can just STUFF your entire top half into something and it can look “Klassy”.
The woman is just a daily trainwreck.
It’s an upside down lampshade.
This chick’s classy, sitting on the steps awaiting the guests. Must be on her govt union break.

I had no idea who the gal in the pink dress was, until I read the caption …THAT’s the Chief of PROTOCOL? No wonder it’s such a train wreck over there. Every day is Casual Friday. Eek.
Just imagine what the guys at attention right behind her are thinking…
Tough to even SEE the guys standing behind her.
She slipped & fell on the step. There are several photos showing her on her way down. Strange that she would be there.
She was going down red-carpeted stairs to greet the Calderons as they arrived at the WH. Shoes appeared to have stiletto heels and her skirt was unwieldy. These WH operatives cannot bring themselves to dress appropriately – have to look like party guests in all their finery. Her decolletage was grossly inappropriate for someone in her position – especially when that person’s assignment includes leaning forward as honored dignitaries emerge from their car.
And our refined president quickly rushed to help her back on her feet. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a speech given by a former govenor of Colorado on how to destroy American.
There are eight ways to do it.
1. Turn America into a bi-lingual or multi-lingual country
2. Invent multiculturalism
3. Make United States a “Hispanic Qubec”
4. Make the fastest growing demographic the least educated.
5. Get corporation, foundations and other interests to give lots of money to these efforts and create a cult of victimology
6. Create dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties
7. Shut down any discussion of these topics- make it taboo to speak out against the cult of diversity-any talk of these subjects would result in being called racist to shut down the discussion.
8. Make it impossible to enforce our immagration laws.
It is stunning to see it being played out in front of us.

Last night on the Mark Levin show, Mark talked about a book called “The Disuniting of America: Reflections on a Multicultural Society” by Democrat historian Arthur M. Schlesinger. That speech by the former governor of Colorado sounds very similar.
There is something sort of “cave-man meets shower curtain” about that blue night mare dress. The armpit flesh oozing over the top is really distasteful. And she has absolutely no bust line, but her prominent backside sticks out no problem. Not flattering. Her hair, nose job, and pale pink lipstick suggest she’s trying to look white.
I don’t think she is trying to “look white”.
“cave-man meets shower curtain”
Perfect description!
Faux Whitney Houston in Home Depot tarp gown.
Yet even the crack-addled Whitney is more together and has more accomplishments than Shill. Sad really.
i do believe this is the WORST dress she has ever worn, the fabric looks like my huge glad plastic bags, no breasts showing, theyre all flattened out..its a horror, way worse than the sofa fabric dresses..
the boyz should have a field day with thisone!
Ya gotta love the pit-boob-cleavage. LOL!
She looked like a struggling drag queen trying to look like Diana Ross. Sorry.
That was my thought, too. How messed up is that?
What’s next??? Feather boas???

My sentiments, exactly.

Ya mean like this?
http://makeupbeat.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/supremes%20diana%20ross%20v&a%20victoria%20albert%20museum%202.jpg
We Slytherins think she’s trying to be our new Roman Empress or something. Kinda toga-ish, and only a few shades away from Royal Purple (just add a dash of red to that blue and it would be exact).
Pjean, yes, she’s been looking very masculine. She really hasn’t got a bust, and she’s been doing everything she can to get rid of what little she has. Which makes me believe that she is, indeed, married to a gay man and is trying to be more, um, appealing. or something. >.> <.<
I just viewed a few of the pics on Yahoo. FLOTUS has Aunt Esther from Sanford and Son written all over her. There is an episode where Aunt Esther enters a beauty pageant. I am tellin’ ya, the big feet, the big butt, the 1960s hairdo/dress/makeup combo all shout one thing: Aunt Esther is back and living in the White House.
I bet Fred is really pissed off having to cow-tow to Ms. Thing. Yes, Aunt Esther is back and she’s calling Americans “sucka” and “old heathen” for not loving Woodrow (her husband) more.
I just saw the pictures too. BTW, Yahoo is SO out there lib it’s silly.
It’s clear someone at the WH is reading the comments on the net about Michelle’s bad clothes and hair choice.
Good try but no cigar.

These people just don’t get it. A)Yes, the federal government should be enforcing our borders, but it’s not, so states like AZ are forced to do it; and B)The AZ law doesn’t allow police to stop minorities to check their citizenship; it allows police to check anyone’s citizenship if they are stopped for another matter.
I wonder if Michelle O’s fashion staff are really conservative plants out to sabotage her. If so, they’re doing a great job.
Could a staff that really supports the O’s and cares about her really let her look so awful so often?
Hey! Maybe you’re right. And maybe that’s why she looks so mad all the time.
“I can’t believe I have to been in public wearing this thing!”
My theory is that they do give her good advice but she refuses to take it in an attempt to show who is boss. In other words, she has an army of employees running around for no reason at all.
I like the color of the Bitter Halfs dress. I don’t even mind the fabric cuz it fits with her thinking she’s all sparklicous. But the way it cuts into her chest? Oh bad. Looks painful and especially not flattering with that little bit of fat poofed out in the back. Also, in some photos, her tummy sticks out more than her boobs and a woman can’t be having that unless she’s pregnant. Way too much makeup and it looks like she made good use of Laura Gellers Baked Body frosting to give her skin that glow. Even a teenager can do greecian better than Michelle.

And since Michelle wore an Indian inspired dress for the last State Dinner where they hosted the Indian PM, why didn’t she wear a Mexican inspired dress this time?
The only good thing I can say, is compared to Mrs. Calderon with her scarf strung through her dress armholes look, Ms. Obama looked stunning.
Remember when back in school we had dress-funny day? Yea, that.
Go over and vote on MOO’s dress.
Interestingly, when I last checked, 37% declared it “tacky” !

“pit-boob-cleavage.”
OMG, ROFL
I’m dying here!!!LOL
You HAVE to send that expression and a few photos to the Buzzguys.
At least MOO had manicured toenails this time.
Mrs. Mexico needs a better supporting bra.
Gads, these women are millionaires and look like they got dressed at TJMaxx.
Mrs. Mexico really looks pretty dowdy. And in this shot taken from the rear you spot the chunky clunky heels on her black (!) shoes. Somebody forgot to pack evening shoes? Or Mexico is poorer than we thought?
http://www.daylife.com/photo/07TV8mlbVP3D1?q=Michelle+Obama
I don’t know anything about Mexico’s first family.. She may be a very frugal woman – the dress actually looks hand-made. Maybe she doesn’t see the need to “waste” other people’s money unlike other first ladies.
That makes the whole thing even worse. Michelle looks so overdressed compared to Mrs. Mexico (whatever her name is.) Mrs. Mexico looks like Michelle’s hand maid.
Something less than that, actually.
Signed it and will be posting it over at my little blog. . .
First off…I hope our cyber hosts, the HillBuzz Boyz are okey dokey…and that they are just super busy…I worry when they don’t have a ‘What’s On Your Mind’ today thread up…
I listen to a really great radio program each day, its Quinn and Rose, http://www.warroom.com. Quinn has been discussing the lack of reading of the ten page Arizona Immigration Bill (S.B. 1070–which is also available online in pdf format).
He has made a brilliant point…why Holder, Incompetano, and Barky hisself ‘haven’t read the Bill, have people reviewing the Bill, are submitting the Bill to the Psychic Hotline (ok, that part is mine).
Why haven’t they read the Bill??? Too busy???
No.
Plausible deniability. If they don’t actually READ the Bill, they can interpret it however they choose. It can fit their ‘that’s RAAAACIST’ template.
But, once the Bill is read they CANNOT LOGICALLY (as law school grads) say ‘its RAAAACIAL profiling’ because it is NOT.
We are being sooooo played and gamed. And the lames just suck it up like Enfamil…and then poop out the ‘talking points’ just like Enfamil.
Time to read the Bill for yourself…and the next time somebody in your circle of friends; co-workers; goes off on how ‘RAAAACIST’ anyone who agrees with Arizona is…knock them on their sorry, diapered butts with ‘well, I read it.’
As the insurance guy on TV says…hook, line, sinker.
You know, I just realized that the lefty twit moderators at ICanHasCheezburger are letting through more and more shots at the MFM, Bumbles and Pelosi’s Congress.
Weird.
