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.

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;

Eh, he’s done worse

By: Attaturk Wednesday February 1, 2012 1:30 am

In other words, Mitt in 2003 had an undeniable message “Learn to vote Republican Jewish People!”

Still it was probably not the most offensive thing Romney has done in this regard.

Golly, you think?

Who could have anticipated that right-wing bigoted bullcrap, would be revealed to be bigoted bullcrap? Other than those that actually gave more than a seconds thought to the matter?

A Fitting Epilogue

In the purported birthplace of “democracy” the idea may be dying, but irony grows stronger.

And the sky is blue

No wonder the modern GOP hates science…it makes sense.

So long James Madison, hello Robert Heinlein

Newt Gingrich emphasized his latest policy plank: “We will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American,” Gingrich said.

That Speech Was Okay

By: Attaturk Wednesday January 25, 2012 1:30 am

But Jerry Ford would have thought it was too conservative… But as usual, Obama benefits from who his opposing critics are. Such as this man, best known for defending endless wars fought for illegitimate reasons with the tactic of implying treason upon their opponents.           Well, that is timely criticism indeed [...]

Let us put them in…the Octagon!

I still think in the long run, Romney will be “settled” for, not because he is loved but because he’ll do…but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to see this…

It will soon be time to settle

There comes a time, if you are in a mood to marry, that you are more than aware of your potential mates foibles. They chew strangely, they occasionally smell, they don’t like the same shows you like, etc. But all-in-all they’ll do because after all you aren’t exactly perfect.

Well he never has been one for sticking to his oaths

By: Attaturk Friday January 20, 2012 1:30 am

Apparently Gingrich thinks that IF he should ever take the Presidential Oath it also creates an Open Marriage.
