King Republi-CON

"To hear Rush Limbaugh tell it, the judge hearing a legal challenge to the new health law is a rough-and-tough outdoorsman who should have liberals worried. The truth is more complicated." Read The New York Times, Limbaugh Taken In: The Judge Was Not Loaded for Bear.

Here is a copy of the transcript (as posted by the Pensacola New Journal) of Limpy being a sucker:

"A federal judge says he likely will let go to trial portions of a lawsuit by Florida and 19 other states, including Washington, challenging (Obamacare). But U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson said [today] that he expects to dismiss other parts. Vinson didn't specify which parts of the lawsuit likely will go to trial but said he will issue a ruling by Oct. 14." Now, speaking of clairvoyance, The New York Times and the rest of the political cognoscenti said that the state lawsuits against Obamacare wouldn't go anywhere. Now, who is this judge? Judge Clyde Roger Vinson is a Ronald Reagan appointee. Judge Clyde Roger Vinson is an avid hunter. He's an amateur taxidermist. Do you know what a taxidermist is?

That's right. For our liberal caller today, this would not be good news. A taxidermist stuffs dead game. If you go into a big, all-male club, you'll see some moose head over the fireplace. A taxidermist is responsible for it. "After a 2002 hunting trip during which he killed three brown bears, Vinson had their heads mounted over the door through which defendants must pass to enter the courtroom. At the time Vinson said the sight of the severed bear heads would 'instill the fear of God' into the accused. The heads were removed in June 2003," it didn't even take a year (laughing) "following complaints by local defendants' rights groups."

(laughing) The prosecutors didn't complain. The defendants' rights groups complained. (laughing) The judge "said the sight of the severed bear heads would 'instill the fear of God' into the accused." (laughing) "He was appointed to serve a seven-year term on the Federal Intelligence Surveillance court." That's FISA. He was appointed to serve a seven-year term on the FISA court effective May 4th of 2006. So he's still on the FISA court. Yes. Judge Clyde Roger Vinson. And remember The New York Times told us along with all the rest of the DC cognoscenti that these lawsuits against Obama, they're not gonna go anywhere. Just like we're being told that Christine O'Donnell cannot win.''

Does it come as a surprise that the King Republi-con finds the truth too complicated.

Restore Truthiness!

Fair Winds and Following Seas, But Get the Facts Straight

Chuck Baldwin is the pastor of Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida, and was the presidential nominee of the Constitution Party for the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. I've always found his columns interesting if not accurate. In several recent columns, he announced and tried to explain why he and his extended family ("5 households and 17 people ranging in ages from 3 months to the upper 70s") decided to move from "the beautiful Gulf Coast beaches . . . to the majestic Rocky Mountains: the Flathead Valley of Montana."

One important reason he offers for moving to the Mountain States is "due to the distance separating them from the great regions of the country in which the tables are truly stacked against any growth and extension of the principles of federalism or limited government, namely, the Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest (with my apologies to freedomists in those areas). Big-city liberalism dominates most of the states in these regions. The federal government has invested billions of dollars and thousands of personnel establishing and oiling the Orwellian machine in these areas."

But by one objective measure, Federal Expenditures by State per Dollar Sent, Montana hardly qualifies as a bastion of self-sufficiency and liberty. For every dollar sent to Washington D.C., the federal government spends $1.58 in Montana.

Nevertheless, I bid him fair winds and following seas (and best wishes for factual accuracy in the future).

Is Palin a 'Democratic Double Agent'?

"That’s the only plausible explanation for the last two years.

First she charms John McCain, gets into his campaign and promptly extinguishes any chance he had of winning the presidency in 2008. Then she leads large sections of the G.O.P. into an intellectual cul de sac. She destroys any chance the Republicans have to take back the Senate. She promotes Christine O’Donnell, the Tea Party candidate in Delaware. And now that O’Donnell has won the G.O.P. primary, suddenly it is likely the Dems will hold the Senate and with it the upper chamber."

Read The New York Times,The New York Times, The Nutsiness of Politics.

Profiling a Republi-CON Man

"Newt Gingrich is more unbridled than ever. This is what passes for intellectualism on the right?" Read The New York Times, Who’s the Con Man?, where you can be remined of the man "who ditched two wives (the first when she was battling cancer; the second after an affair with the third — a House staffer — while he was impeaching Bill Clinton), now professes to be a good Catholic. Evidently the first two wives don’t count because he hadn’t converted to Catholicism. He even had a big Catholic conversion Mass here with his third wife, Callista, celebrated by a retinue of eight priests and three bishops."

Now that's a con man!

Would More Money Make You Happier?

Those Racist Republi-CONs

Remember the protests last year when Obama gave his first back-to-school speech. An insider finally acknowledges why. Read the St. Petersburg Times, Former Fla GOP Chair Jim Greer: "Many within the GOP have racist views."

Held Hostage to the Republi-CON Reaction to Nuts

UPDATE II: A great analysis of recent events by Bush's former chief speechwriter from 2001 until June 2006:

"Since the days of Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin, radicals have talked of the "propaganda of the deed" -- the use of dramatic, usually violent, acts to inspire the masses and topple the existing order. The method -- targeting symbolic landmarks to create powerful images -- is now familiar. The killing of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. The first World Trade Center attack. The Oklahoma City bombing. And 9/11 itself.

These events required murder and suicide to gain the global media stage. But the Rev. Terry Jones achieved something new, something that will be studied for generations: the propaganda of the idiotic gesture.

This development was made possible by a number of enabling conditions. . ."

Read the remainder of the article at the Washington Post, The Internet: Enabling Pastor Terry Jones and crazies everywhere.


UPDATE: "America was not built on hate." Read The New York Times, Is This America?

From the Washington Post, Nine years after 9/11, let's stop fulfilling bin Laden's goals:

"The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, succeeded far beyond anything Osama bin Laden could possibly have envisioned. This is not just because they resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths, nor only because they struck at the heart of American financial and military power. Those outcomes were only the bait; it would remain for the United States to spring the trap.

The goal of any organized terrorist attack is to goad a vastly more powerful enemy into an excessive response. And over the past nine years, the United States has blundered into the 9/11 snare with one overreaction after another. Bin Laden deserves to be the object of our hostility, national anguish and contempt, and he deserves to be taken seriously as a canny tactician. But much of what he has achieved we have done, and continue to do, to ourselves. Bin Laden does not deserve that we, even inadvertently, fulfill so many of his unimagined dreams. . .

In a 2004 video message, he boasted about leading America on the path to self-destruction. "All we have to do is send two mujaheddin . . . to raise a small piece of cloth on which is written 'al-Qaeda' in order to make the generals race there, to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses."

Through the initial spending of a few hundred thousand dollars, training and then sacrificing 19 of his foot soldiers, bin Laden has watched his relatively tiny and all but anonymous organization of a few hundred zealots turn into the most recognized international franchise since McDonald's. Could any enemy of the United States have achieved more with less?"

“Where they burn books, in the end they will also burn people.”

America is in the hands of angry fools.

Third World America

UPDATE: "Ordinary American families no longer have the purchasing power to build a strong recovery and keep it going. . . There was plenty of growth, but the economic benefits went overwhelmingly — and unfairly — to those already at the top. Mr. Reich cites the work of analysts who have tracked the increasing share of national income that has gone to the top 1 percent of earners since the 1970s, when their share was 8 percent to 9 percent. In the 1980s, it rose to 10 percent to 14 percent. In the late-’90s, it was 15 percent to 19 percent. In 2005, it passed 21 percent. By 2007, the last year for which complete data are available, the richest 1 percent were taking more than 23 percent of all income." Read The New York Times, A Recovery’s Long Odds.

But thank God we saved the Banksters!

That is the title of a new book that describes "How Our Politicians Are Abandoning the Middle Class and Betraying the American Dream."

The book argues that "we should not think of the last financial crisis in isolation, but rather as the outcome of a longer-run pattern of behavior.

Excessive consumer debt is an outcome of prolonged inequality – in trying to remain middle class, too many people borrowed too much, while unscrupulous lenders were only too willing to take advantage of such people."

Some are even suggesting that "what we are seeing play out today" is a crisis created "to press for reduction in government by creating binding constraints."

Who Wants a Religious War?

UPDATE VII: From the Washington Post:




UPDATE VI: "Terry Jones did it again--jerked the media's chain, as he's done since the start of this bizarre little episode." Read the Washington Post, Pastor's mosque bluff transfixes media.

The media should "not to provide coverage of events that are gratuitously manufactured to provoke and offend."


UPDATE V: "As Sept. 11 approaches, the displays of intolerance just keep getting more and more outrageous." Read The New York Times, The 5 Percent Doctrine.


UPDATE IV: Maybe Jesus wants a religious war. Read the New York Daily News, Pastor Terry Jones says Jesus Christ would burn Korans, will go ahead with controversial 9/11 event.


UPDATE III: Does God want a religious war? Read USA Today, Fla. pastor: Buring Quran is 'direction God wants us to go'.


UPDATE II: OBL is lovin it! Read the Washington Post, Petraeus condemns Fla. church's plan to burn Korans.


UPDATE: "Hysteria about Islam is but a modern echo of past American worries about Catholics, Jews and others." Read The New York Times, America’s History of Fear.

Unfortunately, too many people do, including a Florida so-called pastor who plans to burn Korans on September 11th. Read The New York Times, Far From Ground Zero, Obscure Pastor Is Ignored No Longer.

More pandering to fear, anger, and hatred for fame and fortune.

Who Won in Iraq?

UPDATE: In any case, it is clear that truth was the loser in Iraq, and still is.

Read The New York Times, Freedom’s Just Another Word, which argues that "President Obama’s bloodless speech on the “end” of the Iraq war showed how the whitewashing of our recent past is well under way."

"From shock and awe to a slow exit: It is still far too early to fill out the scorecard in Iraq." But some says the winners were the military-industrial complex, including "Halliburton, KBR, CACI, Xe, Unocal, BP, Standard Oil, Boeing."

Read The New York Times, Winning, Losing and War.

A Bittersweet Labor Day

"All but forgotten is the fact that our nation's extraordinary prosperity from the end of World War II to the 1970s was in significant part the result of union contracts that, in words the right wing hated Barack Obama for saying in 2008, "spread the wealth around." A broad middle class with spending power to keep the economy moving created a virtuous cycle of low joblessness and high wages.

Between 1966 and 1970, as Gerald Seib pointed out last week in the Wall Street Journal, the United States enjoyed an astonishing 48 straight months in which the unemployment rate was at or below 4 percent. No, the unions didn't do all this by themselves. But they were important co-authors of a social contract that made our country fairer, richer and more productive."

Read the Washington Post, When unions mattered, prosperity was shared.

WWOBLD?

UPDATE V: Bush's former chief speechwriter from 2001 until June 2006 outs the CONristian hypocrites:

"Christianity, as an Abrahamic faith, sets out another vision -- an assertion of human worth and dignity that transcends tribe and nation. . . In light of this belief, the purpose of social influence for Christians is not to favor their own faith; it is to serve a view of universal rights and dignity taught by their faith. It is not to advance their own creed; it is to apply that creed in pursuit of the common good. This is what turns religion into a positive social force -- a determination to defend everyone's dignity.

Freedom of religious worship and expression is essential to human dignity -- which makes blocking the construction of a mosque for religious reasons a violation of Christian belief. And laws preventing the building of churches in Mecca or Riyadh do not make this principle less important here."

Read the Washington Post, In mosque controversies, some Christians undermine their own faith.


UPDATE IV: Three Al Qaeda cheers for those binLadi-cans (formerly known as the Republi-cons). Read The New York Times, U.S. Anti-Islam Protest Seen as Lift for Extremists and U.S. News & World Report, Why Are Palin, Gingrich, and Fox News Doing Bin Laden's Work?


UPDATE III: From This Modern World, A mosque near ground zero? I'm offended even thinking about it! On earth and parallel earth alike, the wingnuts escalate the crazy:



And to understand why the mosque must be built, read the Washington Post, No compromise on religious freedom and The right-wing, blinded by its own hysteria.


UPDATE II: U.S. politics has a long history of religious bigotry. Read the Huffington Post, Obama a Muslim! Lincoln a Catholic! FDR a Jew! Why Americans Don't Like Their President's God


UPDATE: "Opposition to the proposed Islamic center near ground zero is one topic on which Sarah Palin and Osama bin Laden apparently agree." Read The New York Times, Taking Bin Laden’s Side.

And "[t]he rage over the “ground zero mosque” is not motivated by a serious desire to protect America, but by a desire for an election-season payoff." Read The New York Times, How Fox Betrayed Petraeus.

"President Obama’s Clintonesque casuistry is making a bad situation worse." Read The New York Times, Our Mosque Madness.

OBL must be proud of the Republi-cons.

The Sound and the Fury of Our Favorite Rogue Diva

UPDATE II: Vanity Fair's Sarah Palin Profiler: 'The Worst Stuff Isn't Even In There'. Nevertheless, Sarah Palin is everywhere -- and going nowhere.


UPDATE: "As the worlds of Alaska and reality TV collide, maybe the next new program should be entitled 'Shooting With the Stars.'" Read The New York Times, Sarah’s Amazing Race.

"Even as Sarah Palin’s public voice grows louder, she has become increasingly secretive, walling herself off from old friends and associates, and attempting to enforce silence from those around her. Following the former Alaska governor’s road show, the author delves into the surreal new world Palin now inhabits—a place of fear, anger, and illusion, which has swallowed up the engaging, small-town hockey mom and her family—and the sadness she has left in her wake." Read Vanity Fair, Sarah Palin the Sound and the Fury.

And there is more! Read Vanity Fair, Sarah Palin’s Shopping Spree: Yes, There’s More...

2012 is gonna be a great year for politics!

Run, Rogue Diva, Run!

Stupid Is As Stupid Does, Obama Style

With "fancy vacations and posh renovations," he should expect a good butt kickin in November. Read The New York Times, Not-So-Magic Carpet Ride.

I'm beginning to think he wants the Republi-cons to win.

Laughter is the Best Medicine

The older you are, the more you're gonna love this:



None of us want to get older, but it beats the alternative.

Republi-CON Fear-Mongering, Must Be Election Time

Just part of the Republi-con effort to brew a little suspicion, innuendo, resentment and fear for election time:



First it was Republi-CON election-time religious fear-mongering regarding the Manhattan mosque. Now it's time to attack Obama's "belief structure" which favors helping the poor, which Beck believes is "a perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ as most Christians know it." Read the Washington Post, After Washington rally, Glenn Beck assails Obama's religion.

Ironically, many Christians question Beck's 'belief structure.'

And I wonder what Christ would think of helping the poor?

Republi-CONs Are Sooooo Gullible

UPDATE: Good news, apparently Republi-cons are not so gullible that you can just show' em your gun and they got soft in the brain. "In Arizona on Tuesday, Republican voters totally rejected the Congressional candidacy of State Senator Pamela Gorman (“conservative Christian and a pretty fair shot”), whose TV ad showed her firing a machine gun at an undisclosed target. Only about 5,000 people in the district thought sending Pamela Gorman to Washington would be a good plan. "

Bad news, apparently Republi-cons preferred the deceitful hypocrite, Ben Quayle, a/k/a Brock Landers, the fictional sidekick to porn star Dirk Diggler in the film "Boogie Nights,", and real-life son of former vice president Dan Quayle.

Just show' em your gun and they got soft in the brain:

Oil Spill Fallout to Date: finally, the well is capped, now what to do about 205.8 million gallons of oil in 643 quadrillion gallons of water (a quadrillion is one thousand million million or 10¹⁵, imagine 0.8934545... drops of oil in a 22,000 gallon pool, assuming 90,840 drops/gallon and the oil evenly dispersed), maybe we should just leave it to Alcanivorax, who was suggesting that the government push aside BP and take over?, what did more harm, the oil spill or media hype and political grandstanding?; fraud, waste and abuse, in Fl the 3 counties farthest from the spill received over 1/2 of the money, one of them, Franklin, received over 1/3 of the $40 million; well meaning stupidity is still stupidity, lost compensation, should you get extra money after lying to the IRS?, did ya hear bout Big Oil's Big Daddy, Dick 'Chickenhawk' Cheney's secret energy task force, discounts for deepwater drilling, tell me -- the oil deposit now leaking would have provided how many days' worth of oil to Americans?, Obama's energy pipe dreams, is it time for N2N, was it God's wrath for destroying his planet?, shocking realization that bottom-line influences corporate policy, political grandstanding, and Republi-CON 'less government' hypocrisy;

Yet Another Example of How Fear, Anger, Hatred = Violence

UPDATE IV: "A college student who did volunteer work in Afghanistan was charged Wednesday with slashing a taxi driver's neck and face after the driver said he's Muslim. " Read the Washington Post, Man held without bail in NYC cab driver stabbing.


UPDATE III: For more on how Hedgehog News encourages violence, read the Washington Post, Glenn Beck and the Oakland shooter.


UPDATE II: Hedgehog News employs the masters of fear, anger, and hatred. Read Media Matters, Beck's incendiary angst is dangerously close to having a body count.


UPDATE: Even some party members understand that while fear, anger, and hatred is a great campaign strategy, it won't be much of a governing philosophy. Read the Washington Post, GOP leaders let demagogues set tone, lawmaker says.

The article profiles a veteran GOP House member who was defeated in South Carolina's primary last month and who was "jeered for saying that Beck, a Fox News Channel host, is a divisive fearmonger." He thinks:

"Too many Republican leaders are acquiescing to a poisonous 'demagoguery' that threatens the party's long-term credibility",

"[T]he rhetoric also distracts from the real problems that politicians should be trying to resolve, such as budget deficits and energy security", and

"[R]acism is a part of the vitriol directed at President Barack Obama.

And he's not the only party member that is concerned. Bush's former chief speechwriter from 2001 until June 2006, thinks that the Republi-con party lacks "a responsible, governing agenda" and their campaign strategy of fear, anger, and hatred "rides a massive wave toward a rocky shore. " Read also the Washington Post, For the GOP, a risky wave to ride or turn back.

As I said before, fear, anger and hatred is a vicious cycle of self-fulfilling prophecy -- as Republi-con destroy America, they blame others for their actions.

And for yet another example, read The New York Times, Arkansas Suspects Had Rage Toward Government.

Another Republi-CON CONservative

UPDATE IV: "[F]ormer chairman of the Republican National Committee and the former campaign manager for George W. Bush's 2004 re-election bid, has told his family and colleagues that he is gay." Read the Washington Post, Former RNC chairman Ken Mehlman: I'm gay.


UPDATE III: "When it comes to political campaigns, could we just get to the truth of the matter? Instead of focusing on taxes and jobs, here’s some of the silliness on tap this season." Read The New York Times, More American Idols.


UPDATE II: The woman who recounted Rand Paul's youthful indiscretions in college to GQ magazine wants to make it clear, she was not kidnapped, "in a legal sense." She was just tied her up and blindfolded, and "went along because they were my friends." She said that "[t]here was an implicit degree of cooperation in the whole thing. I felt like I was being hazed." Read the Washington Post, Rand Paul's accuser clarifies "kidnapping".

So I stand corrected, the Republi-con's newest golden boy, Rand Paul, candidate for US Senate from Kentucky, is a kinky, pot-smokin, idol worshippin, secret society member.

However, I'd be careful, in many states you could be arrested for tying and blindfolding someone.


UPDATE: Lest ye missed it, it appears that the Republi-con's newest golden boy, Rand Paul, candidate for US Senate from Kentucky, is a pot-smokin, idol worshippin, secret society member, kidnapper. Read GQ, Rand Paul's Kooky College Days (Hint: There's a Secret Society Involved), which states:

"The strangest episode of Paul's time at Baylor occurred one afternoon in 1983 (although memories about all of these events are understandably a bit hazy, so the date might be slightly off), when he and a NoZe brother paid a visit to a female student who was one of Paul's teammates on the Baylor swim team. According to this woman, who requested anonymity because of her current job as a clinical psychologist, "He and Randy came to my house, they knocked on my door, and then they blindfolded me, tied me up, and put me in their car. They took me to their apartment and tried to force me to take bong hits. They'd been smoking pot." After the woman refused to smoke with them, Paul and his friend put her back in their car and drove to the countryside outside of Waco, where they stopped near a creek. "They told me their god was 'Aqua Buddha' and that I needed to bow down and worship him," the woman recalls. "They blindfolded me and made me bow down to 'Aqua Buddha' in the creek. I had to say, 'I worship you Aqua Buddha, I worship you.' At Baylor, there were people actively going around trying to save you and we had to go to chapel, so worshiping idols was a big no-no.""

He's denied the kidnapping allegation.

This one is Arizona House candidate Ben Quayle, a/k/a Brock Landers, the fictional sidekick to porn star Dirk Diggler in the film "Boogie Nights,", and real-life son of former vice president Dan Quayle. Read the Washington Post, Ben Quayle admits writing for 'Dirty Scottsdale' Web site.

As the article notes, Quayle claims to be a 'conservative Republican,' and he "has some very high-profile Republican backers, including former President George H.W. Bush, who hosted a fundraiser in May for the candidate at his Houston home."

But he's already been caught sending out a deceitful mailer showing him with two toddler-aged girls. He is married but childless.

His friend at TheDirty.com (the successor to DirtyScottsdale.com), has called Quayle a hypocrite, and reminded him of the time he "banged Tim-Marie (a chick) in [the] spare bedroom" and those times just three years ago hanging out in the kitchen "hungover thinking about what club douche bags in Scottsdale to target next."

I bet his Dad is proud of the respect he shows women.

Are Republi-CONs Sacrificing Workers to Appease Their Imaginary Inflation God?

"The policy elite are making a strange argument in demanding that we engage in human sacrifices to appease the anger of invisible gods." So says the 2008 winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. Read The New York Times, Appeasing the Bond Gods.

Hedgehog News Buys a Stake in the Republi-CONs

Hedgehog News employs the masters of fear, anger, and hatred to support the Republi-con strategy of pandering to fear, anger, and hatred.

And having done such a good job, Hedgehog News wants an ownership stake. Read the Washington Post, Fox parent News Corp. donates $1 million to Republican Governors' Association.

Have You Ever Wanted to Taser a WEBY Host?

Mike sent me the following email:

I spent last night [Saturday] in jail. Construction was just completed for a new wing at the Santa Rosa County Jail. They begin taking prisoners next month.

Last night was a fundraiser for the Law Enforcement Explorer Scouts program. The public and the media were invited to spend the night (6pm - 6am) as "inmates" with the experience simulating what a real inmate would encounter (excluding the body cavity search, thankfully). The Explorer Scouts were the prison guards under the supervision of real officers.

I was the inmate used as the "Taser Dummy" (that would be "dummy" in more ways than one). Ouch!

Here is the video:



Priceless, don't you think.

Republi-cons, Be Men, Repent and Grow Up

UPDATE: Even Justice Clarence Thomas thinks the 'birther' lawsuits are frivolous. Read the Washington Post, Supreme Court upholds 'birther' sanction.


SECOND REPOST: Is Pastor Poppins, AKA Carl Gallups, demented? Thanks to him, I now know he is a Birther, from the article to which he reffered, Politico, Culture of conspiracy: the Birthers. From the article:

"Conservatives see that hazard.

The conservative talk show host Michael Medved recently referred to the movement's leaders as "crazy, nutburger, demagogue, money-hungry, exploitative, irresponsible, filthy conservative imposters" who are "the worst enemy of the conservative movement."

"It makes us look weird. It makes us look crazy. It makes us look demented. It makes us look sick, troubled, and not suitable for civilized company," he mourned."

This is all too good to be true for the Naive-crat, let the conservative nuts embarrass themselves as the government continues to loot the treasury.

REPOSTED: Reposted in response to the embarrassing rant by Pastor Poppins, AKA Carl Gallups, on WEBY this morning. See also PolitiFact.com, Obama's birth certificate: Final chapter.

Evidently some Republi-cons continue to embarrass themselves ranting about a birth certificate and clinging to a delusion that the Supreme Court might put their man in office (again). Sorry, it ain't gonna happen.

So I say pray with me Republi-cons, be men (or women as the case may be), repent, and grow up. “Set aside childish things.” (From the 2009 inauguration speech by Barack Hussein Obama II, the 44th and current President of the United States of America).

And read 1 Corinthians 13:11: “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” (King James version)

UPDATE: Here is an article from Snopes.com that determines that claims that the Certificate of Live Birth is a forgery are FALSE.

Be gone ye evil Republi-con demons of fear, anger, and hatred. Accept that ye lost and be gone. And repent ye childish Republi-cons, repent I say.

Tiger Mistress Golf

UPDATE V: Read the Washington Post, His life fell apart, and now so has his game.


UPDATE IV: The family guy wins. Read The New York Times, Family Values Become a Focus at Augusta.

A fitting outcome I think.


UPDATE III: Speaking from the grave, Nike has unveiled a new commercial featuring Tiger and the voice of his deceased father asking whether he (Tiger) learned anything:



This ad would not have been done without his approval. I think it is a remarkably humble act of self shaming.

Will it be recognized as a brilliant bit of PR, setting the new standard? Read the Washington Post, Tiger Woods Nike ad: Penance as commodity.

What do you think?


UPDATE II: He's back. Read The New York Times, Why Tiger Matters?

It is a sad commentary on society, but no one will care about his behavior if, and when, he wins again.

But why does The Cheetah's personal behavior matter? Because "[i]f we're not careful, celebrities' infidelities can weaken the institution of monogamous marriage. "

Enough serious, enjoy the game.


UPDATE: The Cheetah won't have these problems if he had only used TigerText. Read CNN, TigerText: An iPhone App for Cheating Spouses?

The mistresses are coming out of the woodwork, and the Cheetah (formerly know as Tiger) has got to get the situation under control. And you know that when his back is against the wall, he is at his best. In this game, help Tiger make sure no more mistresses talk to the media!

(Hint: Place your cursor near the mistress, calculate the appropriate lead or lag, and drive away.)

The guy who emailed me the link got "2 Ho's in one, one birdie, three pars, two 8's, and one 9." What was your score?

P.S. Watch out, it's addictive!

Why Is America Great?, Part III, The Case for 'Spreading the Wealth Around'

"In an article last year in The American Interest, Philip Auerswald and Zoltan Acs of George Mason University suggested that the defining characteristic of American capitalism is not only an entrepreneurial culture that generates great wealth but also a philanthropic infrastructure that recycles that wealth in ways that create more opportunity, more growth and more wealth. . .

The problem with this approach, however, is that it focuses on only one of the institutions that have corrected for the inequalities inevitably created by a capitalist system. Yes, philanthropy has been important, but so have unions, which ensured a fair distribution of corporate profits. So have antitrust laws that prevented successful companies from snuffing out entrepreneurial competition. So have norms of corporate behavior that made it socially unacceptable for top corporate executives to pay themselves 350 times what their workers made. And so have tax-supported schools, playgrounds and hospitals that were good enough to be used by rich and poor alike.

All of these institutions accounted for the vibrancy of the American economy by ensuring that prosperity was widely shared. But with the erosion of those institutions, that is no longer the case. . .

[I]n recent decades, there has been a dramatic erosion in both the ideal and the reality of shared prosperity that threatens to paralyze our political system and undermine economic growth. "

Read the Washington Post, Why sharing the wealth isn't enough.

The lesson, there is not much of a future in the Republi-con everyman-for-himself philosophy.

Republi-CON Flimflam on the Deficit

"The Beltway crowd gets fooled again, this time by Representative Paul Ryan’s plan for a major overhaul of federal spending and taxes." So says the 2008 winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. Read The New York Times, The Flimflam Man.

Voodoo economics -- more proof that Republi-con zombie lies never die.

Summertime Questions

Ever wonder why they called it a bikini?

And what publication said that it was "inconceivable that any girl with tact and decency would ever wear such a thing."

For answers to these and other questions you might have about the the swimsuit that made its debut at a poolside fashion show in Paris 60 years ago, read Slate, A Brief History of the Bikini, How a tiny swimsuit took America by storm.

Tax That Vice

Will the government’s desperate need for revenue lead to the legalization and taxation of drugs? Read the Ereakonomics Blog at The New York Times, What Prohibition Can Teach Us About Marijuana Legalization — and Other Tales From Last Call Author Daniel Okrent.

Don't laugh, "[a]ccording to an estimate by the Joint Tax Committee, legalizing and taxing online gambling could raise up to $42 billion in revenues over the next decade." Think, who is your numbers bookie?

Why Is America Great?, Part II, The Case for Diversity

"A concert of Broadway show tunes sung by a diverse cast brings to mind reasons why it is O.K. to build a mosque near the World Trade Center site." Read The New York Times, Broadway and the Mosque, which quotes a Newsweek essay on creativity: “To be creative requires divergent thinking (generating many unique ideas) and then convergent thinking (combining those ideas into the best result).”

For another reason, read Why Is America Great?, Questioning the Status Quo

Enjoying That Global Heat Wave Yet?

UPDATE: For more proof that the planet is warming, see Foreign Policy, They're Really Melting,Three glaciers that are fast receding from their icy peaks.

There may be more to come. Read The New York Times, Is It Hot in Here? Must Be Global Warming.

It's the Ecomony, Stupid!

UPDATE: Who said: "President Bush increased government spending more than any of the six presidents preceding him, including LBJ." Read the Washington Post, GOP shows historic amnesia on spending cuts.

And it ain't lookin good. For an update, read the New York Times article:

A Sin and a Shame, which posits that "[s]o long as American corporations keep squeezing their work forces, there can be no real economic recovery,"

What They’re Not Telling You, which discusses the federal budget and "the tough truths about the causes of the deficit and the painful choices that will have to be made,"

Defining Prosperity Down, which argues that "[t]here is growing evidence that our governing elite just doesn’t care about the prospects of American workers — that a once-unthinkable level of economic distress is in the process of becoming the new normal," and

Four Deformations of the Apocalypse, written by David Stockman, a director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan and which outlines how the "Republican Party destroyed the American economy." he writes:

That "new policy doctrines have caused four great deformations of the national economy, and modern Republicans have turned a blind eye to each one.

The first of these started when the Nixon administration defaulted on American obligations under the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement to balance our accounts with the world. . .

The second unhappy change in the American economy has been the extraordinary growth of our public debt. In 1970 it was just 40 percent of gross domestic product, or about $425 billion. When it reaches $18 trillion, it will be 40 times greater than in 1970. This debt explosion has resulted not from big spending by the Democrats, but instead the Republican Party’s embrace, about three decades ago, of the insidious doctrine that deficits don’t matter if they result from tax cuts. . .

The third ominous change in the American economy has been the vast, unproductive expansion of our financial sector. Here, Republicans have been oblivious to the grave danger of flooding financial markets with freely printed money and, at the same time, removing traditional restrictions on leverage and speculation. As a result, the combined assets of conventional banks and the so-called shadow banking system (including investment banks and finance companies) grew from a mere $500 billion in 1970 to $30 trillion by September 2008. . .

The fourth destructive change has been the hollowing out of the larger American economy. Having lived beyond our means for decades by borrowing heavily from abroad, we have steadily sent jobs and production offshore. In the past decade, the number of high-value jobs in goods production and in service categories like trade, transportation, information technology and the professions has shrunk by 12 percent, to 68 million from 77 million. The only reason we have not experienced a severe reduction in nonfarm payrolls since 2000 is that there has been a gain in low-paying, often part-time positions in places like bars, hotels and nursing homes."

Mama Grizzly's Endorsements

UPDATE II: How does the Mama Grizzly choose her cub? Is it the tea party-esque alternative, except in key primary states? Read the Washington Post, Palin makes her most surprising endorsement yet.


UPDATE: Come November, Mama Grizzly may have poisoned her cubs. Read the Washington Post, Still more proof Sarah Palin is toxic outside her bubble.

"Sarah Palin has thrown her support behind more than two dozen candidates, a mixture of Tea Party favorites and more established Republican types. Use this graphic to explore Mama Grizzly's endorsements, and see how they fare." Read the Washington Post, The Politics of Palin: Endorsement tracker.
