Attaturk

About Me:
In 1949, I decided to wrestle professionally, starting my career in Texas. In my debut, I defeated Abe Kashey, with former World Heavyweight boxing Champion Jack Dempsey as the referee. In 1950, I captured the NWA Junior Heavyweight title. In 1953, I won the Chicago version of the NWA United States Championship. I became one of the most well-known stars in wrestling during the golden age of television, thanks to my exposure on the Dumont Network, where I wowed audiences with my technical prowess. I was rumored to be one of the highest paid wrestlers during the 1950s, reportedly earning a hundred thousand dollars a year. My specialty was "the Sleeper Hold" and the founding of modern, secular, Turkey. Oops, sorry, that's the biography of Verne Gagne with a touch of Mustafa Kemal. I'm just an average moron.

Yeah, good luck with that…

A whole lot of carts are getting put before the horse in the Romney campaign — but their aspirations are as uninspiring as their candidate.

Holy Misdirection

By: Attaturk Tuesday February 14, 2012 1:30 am

Maybe there’s a reason America’s Catholic Bishops are desperate to be up in arms about something, anything, they can get there hands on domestically. It distracts from this.

It isn’t just contraceptives the Republicans want to take away:

What I learned from the Village Stenographers

By: Attaturk Friday February 10, 2012 1:30 am

I don’t claim special insight into the human condition, but I think I am somewhat informed. But I admit I did learn something new from Politico yesterday.

Your self-proclaimed supreme moral arbiters

By: Attaturk Thursday February 9, 2012 1:30 am

On the subject of lady parts and the things women should have available to them. “In 2002, at the height of the outcry over the sexual abuse of minors by Roman Catholic priests, the Archbishop of New York, Edward M. Egan…offered an apology about the church’s handling of sex-abuse cases in New York and in Bridgeport, Conn., where he was previously posted.”

And now this most influential leader of Catholic Bishops has a new special message…PSYCHE!

So, No Conscience?

Or has Mitt Romney hired somebody to have one for him?

Bring back ye olde wire hanger

Having used evangelicals to win Iowa, Rick Santorum is appealing, somewhat successfully, to the same Midwestern strain in Minnesota.

It’s a real conundrum for Newt now

By: Attaturk Monday February 6, 2012 1:30 am

Valentine’s Day is only 8 days away and it appears he will be on a fixed budget. Plus it will be hard to get that Tiffany’s account renewed. Might I suggest something classy (and by classy, I mean cheap)?

Just a few isolated serial violations

First it was the News of the World that was caught phone-hacking.

And then just a week ago it was another Murdoch paper, as the Sun was implicated.

And now, it is yet another Murdoch publication, the Times of London, Rupert’s most prestigious British publication.

Mitt Romney really cares about somebody

By: Attaturk Thursday February 2, 2012 1:30 am

Mitt may be willing to say he does not care about “the poors” because there’s little profit in it. However, there was money to be made off of other things the GOP hates irrationally (redundant, I know) and ol’ Mitt’s Millions took priority for as long as possible. But that’s not entirely the story;
