Mitt Romney could be called to mediate
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Texas officials investigating a potential child abuse case said on Saturday 183 girls and women had been removed from a ranch that is home to a breakaway Mormon sect linked to jailed polygamist leader Warren Jeffs.
His cold, dead hands
Charlton Heston, who appeared in some 100 films in his 60-year acting career but who is remembered chiefly for his monumental, jut-jawed portrayals of Moses, Ben-Hur and Michelangelo, died Saturday night at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. He was 83.[See ya, Charlie - Start prying...]
The facts say otherwise
'In light of a third consecutive month in which the economy has lost jobs, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) said the country “cannot afford the Democrats.”
[Sorry asshole, the facts are very clear on unemployment. Unemployment historically is always lower under Democratic administrations than Republicans. In fact, under the Repugs biggest 'hero' (sic), Reagan, unemployment reached double digits twice to go along with his two recessions. The 'liberal media' needs to correct McCain everytime he tries to make up his own facts. If they won't-stop by here and I'll keep your ass straight]
This stuff isn't voluntary!
McCain hides medical records
On Wednesday, McCain's campaign told CNN that the Arizona senator's medical file would be produced May 15. Trouble is, they previously said they'd be released April 15, and they've refused to turn the records over to the New York Times on at least three occasions. This has led some on the left to question, "What's he hiding?"
[Most of the free world already realizes that McCain is mentally incompetent and now we have reason to believe he's probably medically incompetent, too. Regardless, the asshole doesn't have a choice-he needs to cough up those medical records and while he's at it, release his, (and his wife's!) goddamn tax returns, too.]
Just days before 'Mookie' kicked their asses!
"A lot of the coverage revolves around the colorful figure of Moqtada al Sadr, as if he were calling some of the shots in Baghdad and Basra, but those stories are anachronistic. Mookie is no longer a major player in these events. . . . Today, on the most reliable accounts, most Iraqi Shi’ites (and Sunnis, for that matter) despise the Iranian regime, blame it for most of the violence, and are fighting Iranians and their proxies throughout the land. . ." - (h/t AmericaBlog)
[Michael Ledeen is one the neocon 'experts' on Iraq. One of the many who helped us to needlessly invade Iraq. Just as Lil' Bush had said recently that al-Sadr's power was waning, Republicans once again prove they are not intelligent enough to lead this country]
A 264 page Senate resolution
[Of course it was introduced by a Democrat. Did you really think a Republican would have the integrity to do so? Or that one would actually care? Get a clue.]
[Of course, we could elect another fucking moron. Why can't Republicans ever find someone to nominate with brains? Oh, never mind ... that answer is obvious]Wingnut freedom
An 80-year-old church deacon was removed from the Smith Haven Mall yesterday in a wheelchair and arrested by police for refusing to remove a T-shirt protesting the Iraq War. Police said that Don Zirkel, of Bethpage, was disturbing shoppers at the Lake Grove mall with his T-shirt...[Just like a Nazi]
A fitting tribute
Looking to honor the forty-third President of the United States of America, George W. Bush the recently formed Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is looking to change the name of the Oceanside Water Treatment Facility. It seems the group would like to rename the SF Zoo adjacent facility to the "George W Bush Sewage Plant."
Yeah, thanks again, Ronnie
Osama bin Laden flew to London in 1986 to help negotiate the purchase of Russian-made surface-to-air missiles to be used by Arab fighters then battling the Soviet military in Afghanistan, according to a new book on the bin Laden family.
[You won't get those facts from Faux or Druggie Limbaugh]
The Limbaugh Award
This week's Limbaugh Award, the 57th one given here weekly to the 'liar of the week', is John McCain's senior campaign advisor, Charlie Black.
Charlie Black, like the man he now works for, is a habitual liar. As it has been pointed out many times over the last few months, John McCain's entire campaign is dominated by lobbyists. There are so many lobbyists in fact, they lost count at 59 and have now begun to just refer to the number involved as, 'in the hundreds'.
But Charlie thinks everybody is stupid. Sorry Charlie. I know you're used to dealing with wingnuts who very seldom think on their own and who just by their very nature, follow, and swallow, like sheep.
But you won't get away with it here, Charlie. Congratulations chump, you're one of John McCain's many personal lobbying whores and you're also, #57.
