BEEz in love???

Welcome to Democracy in the Heartland of America!

Do listen to this excerpt from the interview that Thom Hartmann did with Amy Goodman and her crew, who were arrested outside the republican convention, despite having press passes. Also, their floor passes to the convention were confiscated without reciepts (a requirement when the police take things from citizens). If you can find the whole interview, it is definitely worth a listen... Then watch films of the arrests.

If only we could make the rest of the world this safe for democracy.











Of course, don’t think this is just a thing that only happens at republican conventions...

Update: link removed (I guess)

Apparently, the "getting even better" link from the last entry was taken down by the Daily Kos. I'd be curious why, though it was pretty farfetched (though my blog hopes it ends up true). Here is a page of other Daily Kos links about the situation you can check out, though and you can read about Palin's rebuttal here. Here is one blog complaining about folks assuming the daughter's pooch was necessarily a baby (that blog looks fun for a general peak as well). As for me, I'm merely trying to stir things up...

I have no problem with a rounded tummy, or even female chubbiness in general (no starving models for BEEz, pleez). Though I'm always a little surprised to see girls/women with said pooch wearing tight tops, and it seems to be totally en vogue these days for pregant chicks to stretch the tightest of dresses and tops over their bellies. No complaints here... perhaps it is a fashion faux pas to many, but as a healthy (i.e. creepy) male type, the more revealing the better... Regardless, I still always find it odd when the abstinence only crowd sports flirty clothing (and even when they are unmarried and pregnant). I guess it gets back to the "hypocrite" theme that runs through my rants about the republicans. I've ran into more than one borderline nympho over the years that claimed to be republican, family-values Christian... and it always confused me (especially when they were usually earning their reputation with my roommate instead of me... sniffle). Maybe Sarah Palin was that way in college, or perhaps she just has (probably "had" would be more accurate) a sense of humor.

Republican Family Values101: Can you see a baby bump?

Yup, if it's not one of the many hypocritical republican politicians parading their 2nd, 3rd, or 5th trophy wife around while pontificating about saving the institution of marriage from the marauding gay people (or the closeted gay republicans doing the same thing), it is the new veep candidate's 17 year old daughter sporting a baby bump...and is the story getting even better? It will be interesting to see how they spin this. Will they make her 17 year old pregnant daughter out to be a hero for not having an abortion? Will their be a celebrity wedding? Will the fans of Britney Spears and her precocious sister jump over to McCain's side. Perhaps millions of teen girls will be inspired to make one of their own!!!

Can you imagine if Barack Obama had a pregnant 17 year old daughter? Racial stereotypes would fly and he would be branded (sorry) a bad father... and they would be relentless about it and it would probably cost him the election. But, ya know, these are good ol' gun-lovin', abortion hatin', WHITE pioneers of the West, so she gets a pass (we'll see). I know Obama will do the proper thing and tell everyone to back off, but I hope his surrogates ply this for all it is worth. Would I want that to happen in a decent world? No. But considering the nasty, unfair crap that Rove's proteges will certainly fling at Obama, and considering what utter hypocrites those vicious bastards definitely are, this one is too good to pass up.

Go Steamy!

Well, I’m hoping that Hillary Clinton’s speech last night and silver-tounged Bill's rousing speech tonight convinced the holdout democrats claiming they will vote McCain over Obama to change their minds. If not, I offer this considered statement to kindly reach out to these folks:

SUCK IT THE FUCK UP!

Democrats (or anti-republican, in my case) that would vote for Grampa Munster (I mean McCain, though that is unfair to the really cool guy who actually played said grandpa) over Obama because they are mad about Hillary Clinton losing are certifiably OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS!!! Is that clear enough? First off, let’s take on the Hillary-maniacs' horseshit arguments. I keep hearing that Obama somehow wronged Hillary Clinton during the primaries. Just how so? In fact, I think the opposite was the case. The Clintons started race baiting in ways that even caught me off guard. I know I shouldn't have been surprised that they would pull out all of the stops, but I thought they would draw the line at that. When I look back, I don’t recall the “nasty” things that Obama did, rather, I recall the Clintons repeatedly pulling shit that both pissed me off and lowered the Clintons' stock in my eyes. For their supporters to now be holding out like a bunch of crybabies sickens me, especially when some of them are spreading the “Obama is a Muslim” rumors. Do these yahoos not care about the impact there will be on the supreme court if McCain wins?

I mean, seriously, the democrats could run a steamy turd for president and I would gladly vote for it over McCain or any other Bush II republican... Not to say, in any way, that Obama is not a good candidate. In fact, despite his rush toward the middle with all of the "faith-based" crapola, I'm very comfortable with him being president, and I have a great feeling about how far his election will go in repairing all of the broken bridges around the world that our current President and his crew of thugs have brazenly smashed. That said, if instead of an inspirational and downright impressive candidate like Obama, the democrats had instead nominated "Steamy Turd" as their candidate, here are the bumper stickers I would have gladly put on my car:

Creepy Profs Offs Self...

Well, this story is over, though I hope the gritty details come out... Man, there is no way I'd drop myself over this, but then again, getting caught in the lie can bruise an ego beyond repair. Once again, I reiterate my doubts about the man's mental competency...First off, (as explained in the prior posts) he did something that any sane dude should know will surely get you caught. Then, a guy who is 66 years old and makes over 100K a year (most likely leading to a bundle in retirement) does not just take the slap on the wrist (going to jail for "bribery" seems a stretch) and retire and head to the Bahamas... not sane.

Rumor is that the dude was creepy... Here is another article on that... I'll get back to politics soon enough...
