I Left Show Partly Because Of Sexual Atmosphere

And Partly Because I Didn't Get Laid:
Programs like the David Letterman show have an audience of men in thrall to the idea of men in a "man's world". It's not hard to imagine the paucity of encouragement to a woman pursuing personal success.

Faith Alert - Can We Trust Our Engineers?

High Mech?: "Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, a civil engineering professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who has spent 20 years studying the Bay Bridge, called the initial crack a warning sign of potentially bigger safety issues with the bridge.

'The repair they were doing was really a Band-Aid,' said Astaneh-Asl, who criticized Caltrans at the time for rushing to reopen the bridge.

Astaneh-Asl said the failure of the repair job demonstrates the need for a longer-term solution. The age and design of the bridge make it susceptible to collapse, especially if commercial tractor-trailers are allowed to continue using it, he said.

'I think Caltrans is putting public relations ahead of public safety,' he said."

Cult

Scientology says that each of us is a being called a Thetan - but that most of us don't know it. The sorry truth is that a Thetan is just a Thespian after you remove all its money - and everybody knows that.

Lieberman Gives Americans the Finger

"all of these idiots" indeed. I can't believe there would be someone who would want to be the person that killed meaningful healthcare reform - but that person is out there, ready to crush the good. When he or she is finally identified, the enemy will have a face.

Snowe Adrift In The Reids

Moses She's Not - Her Plan Is 'Just Finish the Pyramid Now Already', We'll Talk About Your Bruises Later: Wonder how much she'll love being the front-cover face of healthcare reform failure. The fallacy that she is somehoow "protecting" Americans and their healthcare is as shameful as anything ever foisted on the public.

How's that death toll looking for 'ya Snowe lady? Explain how you sleep at night? Explain how YOU pay your doctor's bill? Explain to the widows and the widowers how they should have bought better healthcare.

Explain why there will be people who will cry out in pain because of you.

The Ethical Man

Cable Cads Bomb Bad Dad Back To Stoned Age: "“They put on a very good show for us, and we bought it,” the local sheriff, Jim Alderden, said last weekend, when he alleged that “balloon boy” was a hoax. His words could stand as the epitaph for an era."

At the moment, the media need to destroy the evidence of their foolery, and they will.

The ethical man in all of this was the kid, Falcon. Something within him would not bend to the dark side.

Whooda Thought ?? - astonishing "New Theory"

Daily Express UK News :: Mobile use is linked to brain tumours

"Really... A device that emits radiation at 850,000,000 vibrations (mhz) per second and is powerful enough to be detected 5 - 7 miles away, when used for a long term a quarter of an inch from your brain, can cause damage.

Really... If I override the interlocks and put my head in a microwave oven for 2 minutes with radiation vibrating at 5 billion times a second that can not be detected from my neighbor's house, will I have a problem..?

Really..? This is all quite surprising...

Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment May Be Stripped By Inouye

The Inouye-Polanski Sex Act bill is the low point of a once honorable man's career - and the bottom rung of a great state's politics. Some Hawaiian republicans are gonna love this sick democrat puppy as if he were human.

Retired General Slams Cheney As "Incompetent War Fighter"

Dick Cheney tries hard; really hard, but he still shows up on the radar as a nasty, non-symmetrical blip that baffles the hawks and infuriates the neocons because - how to put it - he totally sucks when the chips are down and actual reality needs to prevail. Dick is a basically just a little Cheney girl in a snit suit; ready to cry but doesn't need too because his silly lopsided smirk does the job real well as it is - GOP stalwarts lap it up.

But don't get smug - there are other little cretins still in the Cheney house. Liz is his disciple and heir and she promises to mess around with the airwaves for decades to come. So he's got that goin' for him...

Lawrence O'Donnell Endures Joe Scarborough's Latest Cheney Chants

Joe rides the airwaves like an Oklahoma surfer - he can get on the board; he can hang his toes off the end, but he can't really swim so he just launches little spitballs of gibberish and tries to delay having to admit that there's no ocean anywhere near him.

Key Senate Dems May Rebuff Obama On Health Care

For a dem to ruin healthcare reform means that they had better stay indoors for the rest of their lives - it will be unsafe for them in public. There are too many people hurting while dem and repub politicians are getting their free aspirin. This will not stand.

Cheney: Stop The "Dithering" As Troops Face Danger

You could pull his brain out and he'd still be a dirty little man who cheats and lies from sunrise to sunset - doing almost anything to promote his factless truths. I think he should be picked up and thrown at his daughter Liz and they both should go tumbling down the hill - maybe then they'd shut up, but if not, then more waterboarding.

Bile Heavy Donohue in Unhinged Rant

Wall Street's Naked Swindle - Rolling Stone

Time To Be Ruined: "We're in a place we haven't been since the Depression: Our economy is so completely fucked, the rich are running out of things to steal..."

"...Wall Street has turned the economy into a giant asset-stripping scheme, one whose purpose is to suck the last bits of meat from the carcass of the middle class."

DooBee or not DooBee

Personal resume building Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley has pain in mind for anyone whose view differs from what he believes. He'll talk about "the law" but he couldn't care less about that - what bothers him is somebody not doing what he says. Yes, he's one of the dogs that yelp along the side of the bus, unable to board, unable to alter the direction of the bus. He can't stand that; he is beside himself; he is also the most trite buzz kill in all of LA.

As someone way smarter than him once said - and he was a cop - "there is no situation of human misery that can't be made worse by the presence of a police officer." That's Cooley in a nutshell.

Repulsive to the Enth Degree - General McChrystal's Credibility Problem: "As Kevin Tillman testified, 'Revealing that Pat’s death was fratricide would have been yet another political disaster during a month already swollen with political disasters…. So the facts needed to be suppressed. An alternative narrative needed to be constructed.' McChrystal’s chicanery, Kevin explained, was 'an insult to the Tillman family, but more importantly, its primary purpose was to deceive a nation…. We have been used as props in a public-relations exercise.'"

So much butt needs so much kicking...

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey: I Voted For Bob Barr

If he wants to make his politics part of his business - and he is doing that, obviously - then many of us are done with him. For a lot of us, Bob Barr and Ron Paul are intestinal blockages in the nation's body politic; not people from whom intelligence springs forth.

Whoever is doing Whole Guy's thinking for him is letting him down - bigtime!. He is jettisoning smarts faster and faster with each public comment. This better not be the new public face of capitalism or this show's gonna close on page 7.

Why Joe Biden Should Resign

When it's not going as you want, resign... or cry in the hall... or threaten to write a blog for HuffingtonPost. ???

For Biden to resign as Arianna suggests would be ridiculous. That is what should happen when we're tired of being a country and want instead to just chase internal enemies down the halls of Washington.

How 3rd century of you Arianna. Get back to the Thinkery - Socrates needs help counting clouds.

Phone Home !!! ... not Bill O'Reilly

Yeah, dream away sparky. O'Reilly was outflanked and outsmarted - and it was in front of the entire world. If you think it wasn't all true, then why did O'Reilly settle out of court. The truth could have set him free, right? He settled because he is exactly the freak we all saw, and he wanted to keep his "job".

No, you've got yourself a real hero there, probie, and I bet he appreciates it that you have the kind of cognitive delusion needed to believe the crap coming out of his mouth. He's lucky to have you in his bag.

Boehner Hate Crimes Position: Sexual Orientation A Choice But Religion Isn't

What is the matter with this man's mind. I can change my religion every hour if I want; I cannot change that I desire women.

Trouble seems to be that Boehner - like many GOPee brains - believes he could change and desire men. I know, it doesn't make sense, but sense isn't found in these parts any more - just mumbojumbo from dumkoffs like the orange skinned senator.

Fox In The Tank

I agree. Anything alive can see that Fox is without doubt in the tank with the right-wing. Maybe the White House shouldn't talk it up, but it is a cold hard fact that Fox is GOP turf.

Shep Smith and a few of them might be a few beats to the left, but it's like parsley - it's on the plate but nobody cares.

Spider Sex

Face time with Bill: "Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol could barely contain his disdain. 'It's hard for me to be objective about this because I'm so disappointed personally,' he started off, jokingly. 'I was up early Friday morning. I thought the phone might ring. You know, pundits for peace. Pundits have been under-represented by the Peace Prize. I mean, President Obama and I have done about the same amount to bring about world peace. He's given some good speeches. I've written a few columns.'"

"On Sunday, Liz Cheney -- daughter of the former vice president -- called the whole thing a 'farce' and reminded the Nobel committee that they sleep 'soundly at night because the U.S. military is the greatest peacekeeping force in the world today.'

'The notion that this White House says he will go to Oslo to accept this prize just adds to the farce,' said Cheney. 'But I do think he could send a real signal here. I think what he ought to do frankly is send a mother of a fallen American soldier to accept the prize on behalf of the U.S. military and frankly to send the message to remind the Nobel committee that each one of them sleeps soundly at night because the U.S. military is the greatest peacekeeping force in the world today.'

'The Nobel Committee would like to live in a world in which America is not dominant,' she concluded."

_______________

This imbecilic Cheney says '... send a mother of a fallen American soldier to accept the prize on behalf of the U.S. military and frankly to send the message to remind the Nobel committee that each one of them sleeps soundly at night because the U.S. military is the greatest peacekeeping force in the world today.'

This is astonishing evidence that she is completely out of her element, if not her mind. If my President were to make the statement she proposes, I would be outraged beyond belief. The gall of this woman, and the size of her pathetic ego, is sickening.
_______________

Kristol remains the grotesque GOP Gerbers baby, spilling conservative drivel with that warm, middle-aged queen's smile and the nervous quietude of a trust fund butterball.

But Kristol's oodles of weird is small stuff compared to Liz Cheney, the caustic little varmint that snuck onto the world stage pulling the Cheney train - nobody knows why she's even up there except that she shakes the spiderweb, attracting the loons and maintaining the neocon beacon for the constipated followers of old.

"'I'm a good looking guy, and I do okay, but I want more sex. How can I get more (free) sex.

Thanks,
Dan
26 years old
Europe'

Oh, just keep being the amazing lover you obviously are, Dan.

I've talked with a large number of women about this topic over the years and asked lots and lots of girlfriends the following questions: How old were you when you first had sex, and how old were you when you had your first orgasm? The orgasm gap is pretty damn wide for a great many women. I have yet to meet an honest girlfriend who had their first good sex before the age of twenty-two. Lots and lots of women have had lots and lots of sex before they actually enjoyed it.

And sadly, some men and women never figure out which female erogenous buttons to push.



And nearly all of my readers know the button is nowhere near here:

Gas Giant Stretches To The Brink - Explosion Imminent

Obama's Nobel Peace Prize Driving Righties Absofukinlootly Batshit Crazy !

"Limbaugh just comes out and sides with the enemy: 'Something has happened here that we all agree with the Taliban and Iran about and that is he doesn't deserve the award.'"

Pigs

Obama's Nobel Prize Inspires Conservative Outrage And Confusion

"The real question Americans are asking is, 'What has President Obama actually accomplished?'" reads a statement from the Republican National Committee. " It is unfortunate that the president's star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain -- President Obama won't be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action."

Wow, this guy Steele is a piece of work, eh? He and Liz Cheney need to get a room and start exchanging each other's notes - they are a mated pair.

The Lobby Lobby

Conservative Dems, GOP Senators Lobby To Delay Health Reform

"A fundamental purpose of the Bunning bill, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) admitted during debate on the finance committee, was to give "the people that the providers have hired to keep up with all of the legislation" -- i.e. lobbyists from the health industry -- some breathing room.

'The thing I'm trying to point out,' Roberts said in defense of the Bunning amendment, 'is that we would have at least 72 hours for the people that the providers have hired to keep up with all of the legislation that we pass around here, and the regulations that we pass around here, to say, 'Hey, wait a minute. Have you considered this?' That's all I'm asking for.'"

Our brave politicians in action.

Betsy McCaughey, Dylan Ratigan Spar Over Health Care Reform

He got his notoriety; she got to impale him on the stupid edge of GOP ideas. Ultimately he looked the fool and she looked totally cheney.

The only takeaway was that she went to bed in thrall; he went to bed still clinging to the job.

It was not worth cringing through the minutes hoping they both shoot each other.

A Bad Tail of the OC

Orly Taitz hatching out chaos: "The question of her broader influence 'is our main concern,' says Robert Haggard, a frequent poster to Politijab, a Web site whose members include legal experts tracking Taitz with horrified fascination. 'We don't believe that Orly herself is dangerous, the problem is, she is attracting these people who are, and have a history of being so.'"

The New Era of Terrible Simplifiers is clearly on the fast track.

Conservative Bible Project Cuts Out Liberal Passages

They will blunder forward, revealing the bible for all its bogus glory and well-gathered gibberish.

Of course it's absolutely essential in protecting us from chaos, so we have to be diligent in watching these agenda driven humans as they fuck with our culture for partisan ends.

I say deny them money, prestige, fame, and success - they are anathema.

America's America

Will California become our first failed state?
"There is no such thing as a British dream. Even within America, there is no Kansas dream or New Jersey dream. But for California the concept is natural. It has always been a place apart. It is of the American West, the destination point in a nation whose history has been marked by restless pioneers. It is the home of Hollywood, the nation's very own fantasy land. Getting on a bus or a train or a plane and heading out for California has been a regular trope in hundreds of books, movies, plays, and in the popular imagination. It has been writ large in the national psyche as free from the racial divisions of the American South and the traditions and reserve of New England. It was America's own America."

!!! Huge Fucking Disaster for Obama !!!

NOT !

Conservatives Revel In Obama's Olympic Bid Failure

"... RedState's Erick Erickson took glee in Chicago - and, by extension, Obama's - rejection.

'Hahahahaha,"'he wrote. 'I thought the world would love us more now that Bush was gone. I thought if we whored ourselves out to our enemies, great things would happen. Apparently not. So Obama's pimped us to every two bit thug and dictator in the world, made promises to half the Olympic committee, and they did not even kiss him.'

Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, meanwhile, wrote that the news effectively ended the Obama campaign motto of 'Yes We Can' by dawning in a new slogan: 'No, You Can't.'

'This is a big win and a massive relief for taxpayers,' she wrote. 'But Chicago cronies are not going to take this well. Gird your loins.'"

This is such a failed stretch, but these days the sick republicans will use any tactic they find that will excite the town-hall-tin-hat crowd and get them to hate and fear Obama.
