Morning, BT.

About time for Barry to invite Huntsman to a Motocross.

Did I miss it, or did this feminist blog ignore SCOTUS on Wal-mart?

Good News! Obama is going to begin personally tweeting. What a narcissistic fraud.

Markos Moulitsas whining about being banned?

Karma is a bitch, huh?

Markos Moulitsas personnally banned me from DKos within a couple of days John Kerry’s Ohio mess for calling him a “faith-based” voter. That was early in the first election fraud purge of progressive members at DKos.

Watch my fingers as I play “Who Crying Now?” on the world’s smallest violin.

Good morning BT and firepups.
Nothing important to say except O can tweet all he wants, this citizen will not be in the least interested in what he has to write.

Joe Scarborough, typical republican cry baby in soiled diaper.

I agree. Does he think tweeting will make him appear hip or something? Actually, Hip is kind of an old fashioned word. What’s the latest “hip”? I haven’t kept up.

Oh Markos please undisappear me from that Great Blog, Daily Kos. I really really apologize. Although I do not think it was anything I said about you. Yeah, those professional righties in the White House must have made you bann me.

I promise not to say anything bad about K-Street, or Monsanto or Blackwater or SAIC. And I will never mention the questionable Daily Kos voter polls.

Mornin’, BT, pups

Joe ShitForBrains? Who fuckin’ cares?

eCAHN:

It didn’t make the front page, for whatever reason, but DD did a piece yesterday.

Well, Bill Clinton went on Arsenio Hall to play the sax setting the stage for the transformation of public servants into celebrities. Politicians are hip enough to recognize that Americans love their celebrities.

Morning demi,
I am like you, I do not have the faintest idea of the new language.
I’m just too old to care on the hip words anymore.

Hey, Obama, tweet this, motherfucker.

Kewl?

LOL!

Morning BT & Pups of Fire:

Nice to have KO back, although I would have preferred that he bring in Hamsher rather than Moulitsas…or (at the very least) have a rotating panel of bloggers that includes Hamsher, etal. (Are you listening, KO?) That being said, it’s good to have his voice back on the air. Here’s hoping he gets some wingnuts all lathered up…

What’s the latest “hip”? I haven’t kept up.

Ummmmm……feminist blog? I’m pretty sure I didn’t see anything

PS: the radio buttons aren’t working either

Good idea on having bloggers on a rotating basis.

I imagine Joe SFB will be all lathered up this mornin’. He and Mika can put their hands in each others’ skivvies and be all sanctimonious an’ shit.

Actually, you’re right, haven’t seen anything about it yet, it would be good if you were to write up a post.

Ironically, the opposite works too: Hot.
I just checked the urban dictionary. Here’s one: Funky Fresh.
The president is definetly not funky fresh.

I’m dated. I still say, “far out.”

See SD’s #10.

far fucking out, dude
And….Righteous, man

Cannot bear watching Mika keep her mouth visibly tight shut so Joe can blather on vapidities. Do not know why msnbc starts its day with him.

yeah, that too, especially when it is far fuckin’ out.

put their hands in each others’ skivvies and be all sanctimonious an’ shit.

That’s good for a ratings point…

Have been using ‘rawks’ since I was told that ‘rocks’ is outdated.

Yeah, I just stopped going over to DailyKos a long time ago. Censorship based on groupthink and reinforced by a cyberskating moderator who thinks he’s a blog god or something. Waste of time. Thanks for nothing, Markos.

And yet, when you get Markos outside his blog site, as in the interview BT provided in this post, he often makes excellent points. What a harsh takedown of Joe Scarborough. I can totally picture Scarborough crying like a baby, going to the network executives with tears rolling down his sobbing face, and whimpering until he got his way.

He and Mika can put their hands in each others’ skivvies

Who gets the worse of that deal?

Good question.

Surely, the cameraman.

The prez so does not rawk, fer sure.

Maybe his twitterers will.

I’ve never been to Dkos, just read about that site here. Markos seems like a little twerp to me. But, there I go, name calling. sorry.

I haven’t watched that show in three years. I don’t care what either of them think or what any of their usual roundtablish interlocutors think, either.

The media mostly sucks. Cable news sucks. Bloggers do a better job, though selling out and stepping in the veal pen seems to happen too often.

BT wrote:

The liberal media: still not very liberal.

I think Jon Stewart’s point last Sunday was right on, though he should have said more about the corporate nature of the media, which reinforces the narratives of corporate America while dressing them up in sensationalism and sometimes liberal-sounding info bites.

WP’s Jonathan Capehart gave the rationale on Morning Joke: “There were just too many people, geez.”

Yeah, right.
But, for something to make you all smile.

I haven’t had teebee since it went digital. Not worth the time or money.

Thom Hartman really laid out the diff between corporate owned and corporate sponsored media yesterday on his show.

Ha! And, thank Gawd she did.

I saw that yesterday. What a hoot.

I am not competent to write on legal matters.

SD: Thanks. Missed dday’s piece. Not important enuf for front paging.

Using the rationale of SCOTUS I’m hoping they refile their lawsuits on a store by store basis.

I just asked sonnyboy what the kids at school say. Thas w’sup.

Interesting.

But do they have the resources to do that?

Off for forays. Will check back later.

Be well.

Hey, maybe you could POTUS!

That would make me uncomfortable.

eCAHNomics, writing about the effects of a ruling generally would be quite okay, I think.

State Of The Ocean: ‘Shocking’ Report Warns Of Mass Extinction From Current Rate Of Marine Distress

The current political system is designed to make sure that no one can do anything about it…

Yup. Speaking of feminist issues, here’s one that I totally missed until yesterday, and it happened in my own backyard:

For the record: John Hugh Gilmore is not an employee of Andrew Breitbart. While he is a conservative blogger (of the Minnesota Conservatives blog), he does have some standards.

Gilmore lives in St. Paul, and is a pretty big wheel in Minnesota Republican politics, being in tight with the Marty Seifert and Ben Golnik/Gregg Peppin crowd as well as being a prominent Republican Party of Minnesota functionary in State Senate District 65 and a state central committee member. He backed Seifert in the 2010 Republican race for the gubernatorial nomination, but dutifully (albeit reluctantly) climbed onto the wildly careening Emmer bandwagon once Emmer’s nomination was a done deal.

He also happens to be the person who was arrested last Thursday night for getting drunk and harassing two Muslim women of Middle Eastern descent. This is the incident that triggered a flash mob protest on Saturday’s session of Right Online, and accounted for some of the passion with which Andrew Breitbart’s attempt to disrupt Netroots Nation 2011 was met.

I would be happy if that CIA POS Markos was banned from all media. I have never gotten over the Great Keith’s felation of Obama in last election. Have not been able to forgive yet.

Am I the only one who remembers Markos and Olberman going at each other?
You know the Markos who bans anyone discussing 9/11..even when they are and were professionals with each airline involved…I have a big waaaaa for Markos..the CIA boy wonder. As for Olberman, he promoted this guy in our White House, I have no tie for him either. He witheld information he knew and lies he knew about Obama. I wouldn’t waste one minute of my time with making his pocket books fuller. He now owns part of that network he is now going to try to build. He was out of options with any network, until Gore gave him part of his network.
I despise Fox, but I will not be part of building a left wing Fox. Hypocrites are just hypocrites no matter what side they try to convince people they are on. Obama was manufactured and Olberman was part of the manufacturing process.

Good morning BT. Thanks for the AM swim!

Why is this guy Kos even considered part of the left? He’s ex-CIA and a Raygunite. In the 60s, he’d be considered a right winger. The Left, the real Left, has been disappeared. His anti-Naderite fixation is tired. If anything, Ralph was proved right, despite the vitriol flung at him. Ralph was right almost 20 years ago!

Funky fresh is like 30 years old.

Right on, Dragon.

The interview that I found interesting was concerning Michael Moore’s statement on Countdown that Obama doesn’t lie intentionally. He was comparing Bush to Obama and the lies GW sold leading up to the Iraq war. In Libya he said Obama was trying to stop Qaddafi’s troops from massacring his own citizens (which may be true)but to say Obama doesn’t lie intentionally is really astounding.

Sorry, but I found the whole ‘comeback’ a bit tacky. Countdown was a bit hard to watch last night. Michael Moore still hasn’t brought himself around to dealing with the fact that BO is an accessory after the fact in the whole financial meltdown, let alone an ‘unintentional liar’ about the war(s)
Aside from hearing markos whine about scarborough. Why not bring on Phil Donohue, who had the #1 show on until tweety whined to jackfuckingwelch to have the ONLY person on TV who what right about the run up to the war fired, let alone ‘banned’.
Also the bit of running into the next hour to fuck up an intro to rachel was a bit unseemly.

Michael Moore is an Obama apologist. Mike, you are smarter than that! I think it’s a matter of he wants to be a player somehow in the Dem party establishment, just like all the others. I hate to say that because MM is a good guy, with good intentions. But, c’mon, Oily O is horrendous, a miserable failure just like the Smirking Chimp. Two shitty presidents in a row–and 4 more years of shit. The edifice is going to crumble sometime. Maybe not tomorrow, but certainly in the near future. Then, what will Oilbomber do? He’s ill-equipped to deal with the shitstorm that’s coming our way. Luckily, the Russians had Gorby. We have an incompetent narcissist steering the ship.

Mods, not only is #57 spam the author has apparently hacked into the system as clicking on the name leads one to the MyFDL home page.

Being in the CIA is like being in the Mafia: you never get out.

Moulitsos is a CIA spook, who runs a blog that is *allegedly* mega-leftwing… except it’s not. However, the corp-owned media gets a LOT of mileage about vetching about how mega-leftwing Moulitsos & his dittoheads are. It’s just part of the Kabuki Show, if ya ask me. I stopped visiting Moulitsos’ CIA blog a long time ago, although I do believe there are some who post there who have good insights. Once in while someone links to a good post, and I will read it.

As for Olbermann: well, I am a house divided on Keef. Olbermann has done some good stuff, but he’s done some bad stuff, too. I so rarely watch any tv anymore that’s it’s mostly moot as far as I’m concerned. I feel that Olbermann is partially in the Veal Pen in order to bring home the bacon, and Olbermann has undoubtedly gotten accustomed to his high falutin lifestyle (it’s only natural), but I do think Olbermann has *some* true feelings for the “small people,” and is not totally sold out/bought off… at least YET.

If Moulitsos was a big bad old meanie to that frickin’ LIAR & rip-off artist, Scarborough… well good for that, but it’s just part of the Kabuki Show, imo. Now Rush’s dittoheads have something to get their panties in a giant WAD about… *great* distraction. And Moulitsos’ dittoheads similarly can get *distracted* by cheering for OUR TEAM! OUR TEAM WON: yay yay yay blah blah blah ad infinitum and nauseum.

Meh…

Agreed but I was taken back by Moore’s statement I just didn’t expect it from him.

What you said.

I mostly like Michael Moore and dig what he’s done. Sure he’s egotistical and has made money, etc. So what? I think Moore’s intentions and ethics are mostly in the right place and being some nit-picking purist about the Moore’s of this planet just means that you’re gonna end being a party of one.

That said, I am severely disappointed in Moore being an ongoing *apologist* for Obama. On that very key & critical point, I am diametrically opposite Moore, and I wish to h*ll Moore wake the eff up and smell the coffee.

Obama is a disaster of epic proportions. He’s completely lacking on every kind of level, and Obama is nothing more than a poodle for the corporations, the MIC and obscenely wealthy. A waste of time to try to get some kind of slide rule and measure W’s “lies” v. Obama’s “lies.” Frankly it would make more sense to measure & compare a part of W & O’s anatomy. Let’s get real.

Agree: Wake UP Michael Moore!!!! All you need is to LOSE the blinders that blind you. You are better and smarter than this. Stop sucking up to a bunch of corporate wankers!!!!!

Eh? You haven’t been seeing Moore much, then, bc Moore’s always sucked up to O every time I’ve seen on tv lately. It’s feature, not a bug.

Moulitsas’ voice and mannerisms are so dweeb, he is surely an active CIA agent designed to discredit the left.
.
Right wingers know how to appeal to the average schlubs: by mimicking their vocal mannerisms while lying to them. People who talk like Moulitsas lose voters.

Markos has no right to complain about being banned, and deserves exactly what he himself dishes out.

His foolish web site routinely bans well-intentioned, thoughtful people simply for expressing viewpoints that don’t fit the establishment narrative and meet his pre-selected Kangaroo-court approval.

And before he bans you, his thought-police squad first will pillory people with cat pictures, and juvenile taunts and insults.

Perhaps if Markos gets banned in enough places, he’ll suddenly look in the mirror and wake-up and realize that the policy itself is unfair to all.

In the meantime, you reap what you sow….Markos.

BT whats the real story about why Scarborough could not seek another term for Congress. Something about some controversy in his Congressional Office…a death of a staff member????

Yes, that was a big turnoff to me.

I had soured on Keith after he reneged on his personal mandate stance.
IIRC, he vowed to be noncompliant if/when it went into effect and asked his viewers to join him.

Then, he went silent about that vow, while becoming very vociferous in his support for the POS bill with NO public option AND a personal mandate.

I understand people can have a change of heart, but he could have made a statement to his viewers about that change instead of pretending he never gave that Special Comment on the personal mandate.

That’s why I post here so if I am in error someone can correct me. I have watched all his films and seen him on Countdown. Other than that I haven’t seem much of him. Thanks for the admonition. Trying to be on the correct side.

I am willing to give him a chance on his new show. Being constrained by GE I expect he has to toe the line. We will see if he has changed now that he controls what he says.

Yes, I’ll give him a chance too, mostly to see if his blue team good/red team bad position was due to constraints placed on him by GE, or if that’s what he’s really about.

Meant to say individual mandate.

Ahhhhh the sweet irony of a man who banned and limited people’s ability to use his platform(Dailykos) during the 2007-2008 debacle we called a primary whining about how HE was banned from a platform(MSNBC).

As someone above pointed out karma is a be-oytch.

LOL -

After I was banned I stayed away for years – then found out they had “unbanned” everyone.

Still will not go there. much less post there.
