Lila Rose - The Palinization Effect
Herein lies the irony with people like this ghoulish freakish looking dimwit Lila Rose. If people like her really wanted to curb abortions they would support Planned Parenthood because 90% of what Planned Parenthood does is provide birth control pills to low income women.
Imagine the increase in abortions if this funding were cut.
So Lila Rose's real motivation for doing what she does is attention seeking and swag, lots of swag, at the expense of poor women of course!
And per usual, Republicans fall for it hook, line, and sinker.

Michelle Bachmann, aka The Flake, Is Inspired By Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy
Here's my theory: Bachmann, like G.W. Bush before her, googles a topic and takes as fact the first post she reads - therefore, Bush attacks the wrong country and Bachmann labels legendary film star John Wayne as a serial killer.
Now, here's the kicker, like with Palin and Paul Revere, watch these dumb as dirt Republicans try to hijack wikipedia to make it seem like Bachmann is right!
And that just ain't right Pilgrims!

Anniversary - Stonewall Riots - June 27th, 1969
The crowd began to get out of hand, eye witnesses said. Then, without warning, Queen Power exploded with all the fury of a gay atomic bomb. Queens, princesses and ladies-in-waiting began hurling anything they could get their polished, manicured fingernails on. Bobby pins, compacts, curlers, lipstick tubes and other femme fatale missiles were flying in the direction of the cops. The war was on. The lilies of the valley had become carnivorous jungle plants.

It's all about trust folks! Or, old-school Democrat!
My psychriatist says I'm despondant and suicidal! Is he wrong? You tell me! That's a question I ask myself everyday. Let's just say I'm not a happy camper. This business we're in, it's based on trust! Without trust, we're nothing! We'd fall apart! We'd burst into flames! We'd be at one another's throats - constantly! We'd be no different than the primates! We're better than that! Aren't we? You tell me! Because maybe I just don't know! It's all about trust! We must have trust! That's something to think about! Trust! Earlier today, I placed into the green refrigirator, next to John's fatted calf, an ordinary basket of fried chicken. Nothing special! Salt and pepper with a dash of lemon-salt. But let me digress for a moment and tell you a story about trust. Mines is a humble background. I basically came from nothing. Had nothing. Wanted nothing. Got nothing. Needed something! Still didn't get nothing! Get the picture? The neighborhood children called me Patches! I had my fair share of fights! And I had my fair share of kisses! But we did have chickens! Lots of them! And in different colors! I even slept with chickens! That's how much I loved chickens. But then one hot summer night, after a hard rain, the men-folk of my town pulled my father from his sleeping bed and tarred and feathered him in front of my mother and little sister. Aticus - my father, had the audacity to defend a colored man! And so....if you don't want to wake up later this evening, staring into the face of a angry colored man, then that chicken better be where I left it when the last curtain comes down! Am I making myself clear? Raise your hands if your mind is not clear! Do you all remember which refrigirator I'm talking about? Because I don't think you do! I don't know how many refrigirators there are in this theatre. There could be dozens. I'm talking about the little green refrigirator with the rancid raisens and the putrid orange in the friut bin. I'm talking about the refrigirator next to the break room! Are each of you now forming a mental picture of this refrigirator? Because folks, I need some reassurances tonight! I need to know that my chicken will be safe, and where I've left it! I need to know that this production is secure! Because if I can't have these reassurances then we might as well pack it all up and go home. Folks, it's all about trust! Am I getting through to you on some level? Because if I don't get my chicken...
Cindy Anthony commits perjury
So while the blowhards on the defense rested their jaws yesterday in the Casey Anthony trial, Cindy Anthony, Casey's mother, took the stand. She is the one, she claimed, who looked up chloroform 84 times. Cindy Anthony is a nurse. Why would she need to look up chloroform? Did she also look up "neck breaking,""inhalation," and "internal bleeding?" She already said in her deposition she was working during those times the initial search was going on. The prosecution has her work records. They know she's lying. But she kept it up. "No, no, it was me, I remember now - the computer at work doesn't let me search and blah, blah, blah." Everyone in the courtroom was stunned. Whether the defense put her up to it, or she volunteered to obstruct justice, the lying continued in Olympic proportions, until court was adjourned. Perhaps Cindy Anthony is above the law. I wondered if she went home and did a computer search on "perjury."

Census shows whites lose US majority among babies
WASHINGTON (AP) - For the first time, minorities make up a majority of babies in the U.S., part of a sweeping race change and growing age divide between mostly white, older Americans and predominantly minority youths that could reshape government policies.
HOPE YEN/My Way News
Jose Vargas, illegal immigrants, bigots
Great, just freaking great. I've got a terrible new quandry today (don't I always?) and only mere hours to make a decision.
Am I going to watch Jose Vargas become the new liberal cause celebrite' tonight or am I going to spend the evening locked in a separate room from the kids devouring every sexy move made by my new not-so-secret middle-aged crush, Michael Weston, on the season premier of Burn Notice? I love that guy. I think I love his girlfriend more. I love his friends and enemies. I even love his Mother and the cloud of disgusting cigarette smoke that swirls around her head all the time.
Dang! I suppose I will have to DVR Burn Notice and hang on the words on Jose Vargas because I'm hoping his story sends a great big F-you to the bigoted hate mongers who somehow have the impression that your intelligence and worth to the good ole USA decreases in direct proportion to the darkness of your skin.
Really, that's what this whole immigration thing is about -- hatred of color. If you don't recognize it, you're as big an idiot as "them." You know, the "them" that wants to create open season on anyone who looks Mexican.
I feel particularly qualified to speak on this subject because I am a Lily white, blond with blue eyes who started life as a Bootleg Princess in Georgia surrounded by other Lily white belles who now think Mexicans have invaded our country so we can give their children welfare and free medical care while we break our poor lil ole white backs pushing pencils in the air conditioning.
How I became a Jewish Princess is a story for a slower news day. Let's just say I had been practicing for the role all my life when my prince finally rescued me.
Back to color.
I'm hoping America will see the intelligence, the worth, the value, the esteemed work Pulitzer Prize winning Vargas has brought to this country and understand it ain't about a bunch of lazy idiots trying to take advantage of them. It's about people wanting a better life and being willing to risk it all and work like hell to achieve it.
It's about human beings just like you, only smarter and more ambitious, you freaking jerk!

Pulitzer-Winning Journalist Jose Antonio Vargas Admits He's an Illegal Immigrant
WASHINGTON -- A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who covered presidential politics and the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings for The Washington Post is going on network television to announce he is an illegal immigrant.
Jose Antonio Vargas tells ABC News in interviews airing Thursday and Friday that he is outing himself as one of millions of illegal U.S. immigrants after living with the secret for years. He also told his story in a New York Times Magazine essay published online Wednesday.
"I'm done running. I'm exhausted," Vargas wrote. "I don't want that life anymore."

Obama's Current Approval Ratings
According to Gallup's latest Presidential Approval Poll 43% approve while 49% disapprove. According to Rasmussen's latest Presidential Approval Poll 46% approve while 52% disapprove.
Helmet or AntEater?
San Francisco voters 4:1 oppose a ballot measure that would make it against the law to circumcise any male child under the age of 18, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for KPIX-TV. The city lines up on circumcision this way:
* 26% see it as a harmless tradition.
* 47% see it as a medical procedure whose health benefits outweigh the health risks.
* 8% see it as a medical procedure whose risks outweigh the benefits.
* 9% see it as mutilation.
Women by 2:1 say they would circumcise a boy if they had a male baby today. Men split.
Regardless of their feelings about circumcision, San Franciscans by 8:1 say the government should not be involved.
Jewish voters oppose the ballot measure 18:1.
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) would not comment.

Not saying Nigger - A Guide For Republican Candidates
From Wikipedia: "The vast majority of Kenyans are Christian with 45% regarding themselves as Protestant and 33% as Roman Catholic." [as if facts matter to this guy; nice sign though; how many hours did that take you, Sparky?]
In polite society you can't call African-Americans niggers any more, and that's a shame. It used to be a surefire way to identify racists.
Of course not being able to use that word isn't a problem for most of us who never used it anyway. But it can be a problem for Republican politicians who have to convince a small but politically powerful segment of their base that they share their concern that whites—who control virtually everything in America—are being marginalized and have had their country stolen out from under them. Hence the Tea Party battle cry: "We've come to take our country back."
Back? Back from whom? From the democratically-elected representatives in Washington? We seem to recall that the Constitution proscribes a less drastic measure than going to D.C. and taking it back by force. Something that is characteristic of—in fact defines—democracy.

OK, Now What?
After reading my bio and resume, Richard has invited me to join his blog, which is just about the only kind of writing I have never done -- the only reason I would agree to write for free. Free writing is something I try to avoid if at all possible and have even wondered if I could withhold allowance money for teacher's notes.
Apparently, a description of myself as a very left-leaning Jewish liberal and the quintessential Jewish Mother of two, who tells hilariously embellished stories about her kids and crazy life must have appealed to his sense of humor.
So, naturally, I got nothing today.
Of course, the fact that right now one kid is not only riding, but doing wheelies, on a scooter in my ceramic tiled foyer, my husband is asking me questions about what caused the teenager's latest door-slamming fit and actually expects me to answer while I'm typing something that is obviously not as important as his questions, and I see the dog out of the corner of my eye jumping on to a pile of clean clothes that needs to be folded, and all of this is happening to the Star Wars theme song provided by a wonderful little toy called a light saber might have something to do with why I'm not feeling particularly humorous at the the moment.
I don't know, maybe I just have a hard time multitasking.
Mr. Teenager has returned to the fray, but the good thing about a teen is that he must stop every fews words or so to either read an incoming text or send one back to the people who are really important in his life -- his friends.
So, the beginning of my blogging career begins just like the beginning of everything in my life -- right in the middle of swirling chaos created by loved ones wondering why the hell I might be slightly irritable that not one of them has noticed I am doing something not related to serving them.
Later, I will have to tell you what I think about the Chasidic group Richard is featuring today. If you're one of them, don't bother with me because my words will surely (or hopefully) cause your head to swivel around and around like the little girl, Regan, in "The Exorcist."
See you soon.

Meet Ladd Ehrlinger, Jr. - Just another Nazi Loving Racist Tea Bagger!
If you think you’ve already seen the worst Tea Party racism, you’re sadly mistaken. Because a group called Turn Right USA has released an attack ad directed at Democrat Janice Hahn, intended to help Republicans in the upcoming special election in California. It’s a mind-blower.
Janice Hahn is the Democrat running for Congress in the July 12 special election in California's 36th District.
This freakishly awful web video was produced by wingnut loon Ladd Ehrlinger, Jr. -

British fear 'American-style' healthcare system
Britain is now embroiled in a healthcare argument of its own, prompted by a proposed shake-up of the NHS. And the phrase on everyone's lips is "American-style," which may not be as catchy as the "death panels" that Palin attributed to socialized medicine but which, over here, inspires pretty much the same kind of terror.
Ask a Briton to describe "American-style" healthcare, and you'll hear a catalog of horrors that include grossly expensive and unnecessary medical procedures and a privatized system that favors the rich. For a people accustomed to free healthcare for all, regardless of income, the fact that millions of their cousins across the Atlantic have no insurance and can't afford decent treatment is a farce as well as a tragedy.

"The elision of criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism strikes me as not only wrong but offensive."
Commenter Steve Myers:
I don't think Mamet's crazy. He's just turned into a right-wing crank in his old age. His political opinion on everything seems to be some version of "Back off, hippie. I got mine." Happens to a lot of guys.
He's also a conservative variant of the celebrity who's received so much praise for his brilliance that he freely tosses off opinions of stuff he's completely out of depth on.
