Wait. Could the ‘Nets then also be expected to hire minority left-wing white guys to misrepresent their demographic? Cuz I’d like to be on the tee-vee. I’ll wear my blue shirt.

Thanks Attaturk, GOP caught Jackie Robinson and Wilt Chamerberlain as well.

Trying to look for the silverlining, I think it’s a minor attempt to flush the white supremacists out of the GOP. AFAIK Republican GOTV in some states in the old Confederacy, Mississippi especially, depends heavily on the Klan.

I see Murdoch people.

Good morning pups. Oh, sweet baby Jesus… Bobo has the floor to himself again today because Bob Herbert is off. Today, writing from Wardak Province, Afghanistan, he’s putting on his military strategist hat, and becoming an authority on “Combat and Community.” He says that when you put more boots on the ground in Afghanistan, you not only augment your army’s firing power, you give it the capacity to experiment. The first sentence alone is enough to give you the image of Bobo popping a chubby, what with that machine gunner’s butt so close to his head…

Here he is. I’m going to get the brain bleach…

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got a selection of bagels with cream cheese today. I’m off to get another cup of tea and feed the “porch cats.” We’ve got 3 kittehs who have more or less taken up residence in the yard, 2 marmalade and one all white with blue eyes (probably deaf). They pace if I’m late with breakfast. Have a great day.

Yea, “firing power” he knows his shit.

The idea of Bobo commenting on military matters would be funny if it weren’t tragic. The only thing worse, I suppose, would be if Bloody Billy Kristol were still fouling the pages of the Times.

Well, at least he’s there I guess.

Yep, they’re bringing out those black women on the tv to make it appear as if the American Taliban is suddenly the Big Tent. While they’re doing that, they’re calling Michelle Obama a ‘bitch’ and think Will Smith would be picking cotton if he didn’t find fame:

Rush Limbaugh is also trying to change the image of the American Taliban. He said a week or so ago on the air that the, (paraphrasing) “Republican party has always accepted all races and creeds. It’s whooooo we are”.

“The United States is not a beacon of democracy. It is a plutocracy…98% of incumbents get reelected.”

TERM LIMITS

Sen. Jay Rockefeller suggests internet shouldn’t exist

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct9xzXUQLuY

The New World Order goons are inventing reasons to shut it down (so that others don’t shut it down).

When the Masters Of The Universe finally flush the bottom out of the market and the banking system, this is the tipoff that they will also shut down the Internet, while having laid the groundwork well in advance for you and me to swallow the lie that “the terrorists” did it – which, while accurate, will leave you assuming they are referring to guys in turbines – and not guys in three piece suits (the ACTUAL terrorists).

Please let me serve up my thanks as well.

As a black person (African American takes too long to type) I find it incredible that all these flacks carry water for a party that will undoubtedly have more people of color cooking and fetching hot coffee at a Republican gathering than participating in it.

Why don’t they ever pontificate on the fact there’s no black republican in either house of Congress out of 535 seats?

“Republican party has always accepted all races and creeds. It’s whooooo we are”.

He’s sorta right if you count for sexual purposes.

As Susan describes it, “one damn fine editorial” and a good antidote for bobo.

You do know that you’ve got a picture of Ron Christie up there, right?

I saw that. That’s an amazing thing to say, isn’t it? Now everyone at FoxNews can quote her and advance that view while ‘innocently’ exclaiming that of course, they don’t agree. A perfect system.

It’s a rude thing for me to ask….but I’m gonna do it anyway because every time he crops up on TV I wonder. Is one of his eyes out of alignment with the other?

Imagining the following conversation at Ron Christie’s psychiatrist’s office:

SHRINK: Thanks for coming in, Ron.

RC: You said it was about my self-loathing issue?

SHRINK: Yes Ron, it is.

RC: Progress?

SHRINK: Of a sort, yes. I’ve decided -after consults with many other very fine shrinks, to discontinue the treatment.

RC: So I’m cured?

SHRINK: No – we decided that, in your case, it’s an entirely appropriate emotion.

It is not possible to be rude when talking about that jive-ass oreo mofo.

I’m gonna take what one of the panelists said on Bill Maher’s ‘Real Time’ this past week.

Fox News is in the business of distraction. If we pay attention to the ’shiny’, like stupid, off-the-cuff comments from Jackie Mason and the POTUS on Jay Leno, then we won’t be focused on the serious stuff we should be paying attention to (Keith Olbermann, who was also on the show, said Murdoch would switch the focus from conservative to liberal in a heartbeat if he thought he could make more money from it).

The American public (and this is my opinion now and wasn’t expressed on RT) has the attention span of a gnat, similar to the life span of a fruit fly. Our education system failed years ago because the concept of critical thinking was long-ago drummed out of us. We are so damned scared of what’s going on that we’ll take ANYTHING as an alternative, including real or imagined slights, and pump them up in to ‘news’.

I daresay Edward R Murrow is rolling in his grave.

Yep, his eyes are wacked.

I figure he keeps one on the camera, and the other’s searchin’ around to be sure that his momma’s not behind him catching him being a damned fool on the teevee….

do I win the rude prize?

Well, now I feel a little better. *GG*

Been meaning to tell you that one of the squash seeds I’m trying this year is named “Raven”. Ordered a packet of three different types and lo and behold, that was one of them. Am gonna do my dead level best to keep the squash borers out of them this go’round just to see how that one turns out.

How’re the furry children doing this spring?

To me the most offensive commentator is this guy,Christie he trys to come off as a know it all,and since they show he was on cheneys staff and the bush white house staff,he was very rarely put out front on any issue.

Rep Bill Posey (R-FL) is a know nothing — on WJ
How did he get on the Financial Services Committee?

Clearly in the part of the problem column

the problem ins NOT over-regulation

(Keith Olbermann, who was also on the show, said Murdoch would switch the focus from conservative to liberal in a heartbeat if he thought he could make more money from it).

Murdoch’s biographer would disagree. He sez that since Ruppert remarried, his second wife being liberal (his first was a wingnut), their social set is quite different, and he gets attacked at cocktail parties over Faux. Biographer sez he wouldn’t be surprised if Rupport sold it.

umm, ellie….

talking to your self is not a problem, imo. but it’s kinda looking like an argument is about to break out there.

If this condition lasts for more than four hours, you should probably consult a doctor, pronto. *g*

lol!

I keep forgetting that edit works again.

Swim’s up

Raven! Dang, he’s been gone 2 year next month. The critters are pretty good but Lil Bit, on top of her other eye issues, has a cataract. We’re taking her in to the doggie eye doc (John Barrow’s ex of all people) but we really need to think about spending lots of money and then having to isolate her for weeks to do eye surgery on a pup who doesn’t see well in the first place.

I’d give anything to be able to flick the end of Bruce’s nose and call her an ass!

I dunno; maybe it’s all those hours watching “Victory at Sea” on our B&W RCA TV back in the 1950s and 1960s, not to mention all those 16mm episodes with Walter Cronkrite narrating “The 20th Century” we watched in high school history class, but every time I accidentally come across one of those black GOP talking heads, I can’t get the idea of the Jewish Sonderkommandos out of my mind.

In theory I agree with the sentiment. However, we have instituted term limits in our state legislature here in Michigan. The result? The only people with any expertise or institutional memory in Lansing are the lobbyists. We end up with a fresh crop of people who don’t know what they’re doing every three terms, and then the lobbyists comfortingly take them under their wing and say, “Here little legislator, let me tell you about what you should be focusing on…”. And if you want to know how that’s working out, we’ve been in a recession for years now up here.

Of course people are allowed and encouraged to participate politically. I find it strange blacks are in the Republican Party when they oppose almost any legislation that would help the black, hispanic communities. Namely education from head start to aid to college students and universal health care. The last, and I’m sure the next census will show the black community falling further behind. And those Republican pundits argue against these type program funding at every step. Apparently they have theirs and the hell with the rest of us. I wonder how much time either of the black Republican pundits spend in the black/hispanic communities as Obama has. And still does. They found the gravy train and it doesn’t matter if they have lost respect of other blacks or not. I’m betting they think they are REALLY welcome.

Here in the Arizona and in the Sonoran Desert in particular, we do have Hispanics who have an “R” behind their name. More importantly though is to have an “H” behind their name and which trumps the “R”, or for what I call RIP. And if don’t know what “H” means, I am here to help. Thus, “H” stands for Harvard.

It seem that the Harvard alums have crafted for themselves a club in which all seem to practice the behavior for “private placement” and starting from the standpoint for “managing others monies.” So, seeing them make a mad scramble for the few bucks that cable would pay anyone of them, would make for a good sit-com on night time television.

Are there any script writers and equivalent to the Great Scribbler, among us? If so, an Idea is now available at no obvious cost, or gratis on my part. :-)

In response to nellieh@34

As a Democrat and from several years ago, is my story. I was invited I attended the annual confab for the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and my sole purpose was to conduct a three-day seminar on Entrepreneurship. And which I did. On the second day, I went out to dinner with my newly-found Republican companions. And given that I am willing to acquire additional political knowledge from whatever source, I asked my dinner companions as to why they affiliated themselves with the Republican Party. To the last person, the response was, “The line was shorter!”

Accessing the economic/financial largesse of the taxpayer wins out every time for these folks on the Right, and their politics is at best ‘incidental’ to their daily attention to what matters in the respective communities. Thus, getting stopped by local law enforcement for a minor traffic violation “while being Brown” is not viewed as anything more than an inconvenience. And since the Supremos will be addessing Section 5 of the Civil Rights Act later this month, these Hispanic Republicans from Harvard, will not utter one word for participating in a public conversation on either politics or policy.
