Ex: A-Rod Had Portraits of Himself as
Centaur Hanging Over His Bed
Friday – October 30, 2009 – 2:29pm

The new Us Weekly reports that Kate Hudson has been trying to make New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez less of an egomaniac.

It must not be easy.

A former Rodriguez fling remembers seeing portraits of the slugger, 34, as a centaur hanging over his bed.

“He was so vain,” his ex tells Us Weekly. “He had not one, but two painted portraits of himself as a centaur. You know, the half man, half horse figure?”

Adds the ex, “It was ridiculous.”

Out! In public.

“…they’ve threatened my wife, they’ve now fired a shot at my house and, uh, while my wife was standing next to the car…uh, it’s become something else…and if anybody thinks that we’re not engaged in a battle for the soul of this country, right now, you’re sorely mistaken…”

“…my wife now has been, and I, have been shot at, uh, our driver, uh, my house has been shot and hit, uh, an investigation continues, I’ve had bodyguards now, and, you know what, I’m not in a mood to put up with little fools like Geraldo Rivera, uh, it’s time that we really awakened to what is happening in this country, it is ugly…”

NJ Law Enforcement Appear to Contradict
Dobbs’ Version of Gunfire Incident

Interviews with the New Jersey State Police yielded a rather different assessment of the events described by Dobbs. In a phone interview conducted yesterday, Sgt. Stephen Jones, a NJ State Police spokesperson, chuckled out loud after he heard about Dobbs’ account of the gunfire incident. Jones commented that he “wouldn’t classify it [the gunfire incident] as very unusual.” He also confirmed that there are hunters in the area, and stated that, “at this time of year hunter [shooting] complaints go up.”…

Another New Jersey State Police spokesperson, Sgt. Julian Castellanos, noted that “it’s a wide open area and there are hunters in the area.” Castellanos explained that the bullet had hit the house in vicinity of the attic; it “hit the vinyl siding and fell to the ground” without penetrating the vinyl, he said…

When asked to comment for this story, Dobbs disputed the New Jersey State Police’s account, saying in an email that “there was no hunting season underway three weeks ago.” However, an official at the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife Bureau of Law Enforcement confirmed in a phone interview that state hunting seasons were underway at the time of the gunfire incident three weeks ago.

Asked what he thought of Dobbs’ version of the gunfire incident, Sgt. Jones stated, “I’m really going to leave Lou Dobbs’ assessment to himself.”

Liz Cheney’s scum, Limbaugh’s a practiced liar, and Lawrence O’Donnell suffers no assholes gladly.

Dissecting President Barack Obama’s recent visit to Dover, where he saluted America’s war dead on camera, right-wing radio personality Rush Limbaugh echoed the words of Elizabeth Cheney, falsely implying that President George W. Bush had done the same, but without the cameras.

“I don’t know why he went to Dover,” Cheney said during a Fox News radio interview on Thursday. “I think that it is clearly important for a commander in chief, whenever he can in whatever way possible, to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers, our fallen military folks. But I think, you know, what President Bush used to do is to do it without the cameras. And, um, I don’t understand, sort-of showing up with the White House press pool, with photographers, and asking family members if you can take pictures. That’s really hard for me to get my head around.”

“President Bush used to do it!” said Limbaugh, as though to imply that the former president would visit Dover to honor the war dead, much as President Obama did earlier this week. “Boy, we didn’t know it! She just told us something we didn’t know. Bush used to do it, but there were no cameras. He did it privately with the families.”

O’Donnell eviscerates the Cheneys:

So, upon further inspection, it looks like it was a different William Ayers.

Update: Turns out there’s more than one William Ayers in the third biggest country in the world.

But a guy named George Soros was there eight times and I don’t know too many of those.

BWAH-HA–you gotta be kidding me

And an Andy Stern was there 22 times.

BWAH-HA-HA

Granted, that’s a common name, too.

BWAH-HA-HA-HA

John Boehner was there once. David Petreaus is notably absent.

Hoo!

My, how the clue-full and butt-butted have fallen.

Blue Texan at FireDogLake rightfully took Bush to task for never bothering to receive any (of the thousands of) war dead at Dover AFB during his administration, as Obama did yesterday.

That got a few wingnuts riled up. ‘You douchebags just love this scumbag and his phony p.r. machine,’ they seemed to say. ‘It’s a photo-op, nothing more.’

My goodness, doesn’t President Obama look grave and Commander-in-Chief-ish in the carefully cropped photos of him in Friday’s Sun editorial (“The true price of war,” Oct. 30) and the news article provided by Tribune Newspapers ( “Obama honors fallen soldiers at Dover base,” Oct. 30).

If I didn’t know he was a dangerous phony, I probably would have believed that he really cared.

Blogger Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive.net was a little more specific and dismissive:

FireDogLake Buttheads clueless about Bush and our war dead

I never cease to be amazed by the sorry haters on the left and their inability to understand the military, respect, dignity and the difference between a gesture and a heartfelt gesture. They are busy hating on George W because he failed to go to Dover and get photo-opped like our current Commander in Chief. Now first of all I will give Obama credit for gong to Dover, but as soon as it became a photo op it was cheapened as Matt noted. Anyone smell the stench of Axelrod and Emanuel? Well the brain-addled, land apes at FireDogLake are calling out the former CinC for not being so blatant. Admire their bile.

This is what a president does.

US President Barack Obama has paid his respects to 18 Americans killed in Afghanistan, the first time he has honoured the fallen in this way.

NPR notes that,

The dramatic image of a president on the tarmac was a portrait not witnessed in years.

Why?

Let me help you with that you pathetic, whiny little bitch. Turning a solemn occasion into a photo op that becomes about you is not respectful, it is sorry. President Bush knew that and chose to show his respect in private to the people who really matter, the Gold Star families.

…Blue Texan in…3…2…1…

…my response is: suck on this.

Whoever wrote this hilarious piece of Christian paranoia for Robertson’s CBN.com apparently went too far in damning every single thing even barely reminiscent of Halloween. The link to the original is dead–oops, err, gone to blessed heaven–awww.

The lesson here is that, because it’s Fall and Halloween, orange and black demons will devour your soul should you blink.

CBN.com – Halloween—October 31—is considered a holiday in the United States. In fact, it rivals Christmas with regard to how widely celebrated it is. Stores that sell only Halloween-related paraphernalia open up a few months before the day and close shortly after it ends. But is Halloween a holiday that Christians should be observing?

The word “holiday” means “holy day.” But there is nothing holy about Halloween. The root word of Halloween is “hallow,” which means “holy, consecrated and set apart for service.” If this holiday is hallowed, whose service is it set apart for? The answer to that question is very easy—Lucifer’s!

They’re off!

Lucifer is a part of the demonic godhead. Remember, everything God has, the devil has a counterfeit. Halloween is a counterfeit holy day that is dedicated to celebrating the demonic trinity of : the Luciferian Spirit (the false father); the Antichrist Spirit (the false holy spirit); and the Spirit of Belial (the false son).

And now, a complete list of ‘counterfeit’ counterparts to over 10,000 Roman Catholic Saints. Oh, heck, let’s just go straight to Pat Robertson: the ‘counterfeit’ to the fat, greedy, television-fame gobbling goon is…Mother Teresa? Well, there’s…um…no surprise.

The key word in discussing Halloween is “dedicated.” It is dedicated to darkness and is an accursed season. During Halloween, time-released curses are always loosed. A time-released curse is a period that has been set aside to release demonic activity and to ensnare souls in great measure.

‘…this message brought to you by…PFIZER and…AH’M BEIN’ JINXED CR…’

‘AH’M BEIN’ JINXED CR: “A steady diet of evil, while you sleep.”‘

During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.

I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery store. The demons cannot tell the difference.

So, demons will be assigned to you if you participate in Halloween. And your candy is poison. And more demons will come to you when you ‘fetish’, eating candy. And then curses are sent to you through trick or treating. How is it the world has survived so many Halloweens? Shouldn’t it have turned into a giant, sulfurous tar-pit by now?

Perhaps the demons are merely annoying, like an ill-fitting costume, held on with safety pins. Too many Root Beer Jelly Bellys. Kandy Korn, which only seems to multiply.

Gathering around bonfires is a common practice in pagan worship. As I remember, the bonfires that I attended during homecoming week when I was in high school were always in the fall. I am amazed at how we ignorantly participate in pagan, occult rituals.

Oh, now I see why: the writer went after football. Adios loon. Robertson isn’t stupid.

Halloween is much more than a holiday filled with fun and tricks or treats. It is a time for the gathering of evil that masquerades behind the fictitious characters of Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on brooms.

Wait–I thought witches were totally real, craftily hacking on Snickers and such. What happened?

The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary cartoons actually exist. I have prayed for witches who are addicted to drinking blood and howling at the moon.

…okay, time to wrap it up…

While the lukewarm and ignorant think of these customs as “just harmless fun,” the vortexes of hell are releasing new assignments against souls. Witches take pride in laughing at the ignorance of natural men.

Happy Halloween!

Just imagine what they’d behave like if they weren’t a non-profit…

BCBS plea to customers on reform hits a nerve

Maybe it was just lousy timing, but many customers of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina are ticked off at the mail they’ve received recently from the state’s largest insurer.

First, they learned their rates will rise by an average of 11 percent next year.

Next, they opened a slick flier from the insurer urging them to send an enclosed pre-printed, postage-paid note to Sen. Kay Hagan denouncing what the company says is unfair competition that would be imposed by a government-backed insurance plan. The so-called public option is likely to be considered by Congress in the health-care overhaul debate.

“No matter what you call it, if the federal government intervenes in the private health insurance market, it’s a slippery slope to a single-payer system,” the BCBS flier read. “Who wants that?”

Plenty of people, it turns out.

Indignant Blue Cross customers have rebelled against the insurer’s message, complaining that their premium dollars have funded such a campaign.

They’ve hit the Internet in a flurry of e-mails to friends and neighbors throughout the state. They’ve called Hagan’s office to voice support for a public option. They’ve marked through the Blue Cross message on their postcards to instead vouch support, then dropped them in the mail — in at least one case taped to a brick — to be paid on Blue Cross’ dime. Or dimes…

“I went sort of bonkers,” said Beth Silberman of Durham. “You’re hostage to them, and then they pull this. My new premiums are funding lobbying against competition. It’s pretty disgusting.”

These people are cynical scum.

Presidential adviser David Axelrod, his wife and his daughter appeared on 60 Minutes to talk about research in epilepsy, which his daughter has had since birth, leaving her developmentally disabled. David’s wife, Susan, is President of the organization she founded, Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE).

The Axelrods’ evil and obvious real intentions were just too much for the wingnuts. Michelle Malkin:

In Chicago, there are no coincidences.

In Chicago-on-the-Potomac, there are no coincidences, either.

In the desperate push for Obamacare, the White House spin doctors are pulling out all the stops to distract from the disastrous numbers by ginning up emotions.

FLOTUS is playing the the concerned parent card.

So is White House senior adviser/Astroturf master/Big Pharma beneficiary David Axelrod, who appeared on 60 Minutes with Katie Couric this weekend to talk about the epilectic daughter he never sees because he’s so busy trying to salvage his boss’s government health care takeover plans. The AP dutifully recycled the story — which itself had been recycled from February’s Parade magazine.

Ann Kane at the American Thinker is dead on:

Cue Ann Kane:

If it weren’t so sad, it would be laughable. The present administration treats broadcast news as its own kind of Facebook page where they can write or say whatever they want on their obedient wall. On Sunday night, Katie Couric of 60 Minutes reported on the Axelrod family’s journey with epilepsy. David Axelrod used his twenty-eight year old epileptic daughter, Lauren, to show that he is a caring father. His wife, Susan, has started an organization to help fund research on the disease.

This is all very noble, until we look at who the advisor to the president really is: a PR man par excellence. No matter what he says, even lovingly about family members, he will always be under suspicion for promoting a brand. That’s just the way it is with professional spinners. So, when the going gets tough for him and the White House, the tough create a soft news story.

How dare he use his daughter’s illness to attempt to elicit sympathy from the liberal base, and others? Yet, he wouldn’t be worth his salt if he didn’t use everyone and everything at his disposal to advance the agenda. How sad for his family that even they have become fair game.

Susan started CURE in 1998.

I’ve mentioned Mike Adams before, he’s extremely angry and dumb. And this is an exceptionally bizarre effort. The ‘participants’ in his bloody 45th birthday celebration: PETA (though I don’t know why), unwanted cats, spray paint, the local Women’s Resource Center, power tools, an industrial vacuum, blood-letting, skull drilling, sucking out cat’s brains, and maybe The Black Student Union.

This is a ludicrously abysmal post, even by Adams’ standards:

Mike Adams :: Townhall.com Columnist
Felines, Nothing More than Felines

Dear People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals:

This Friday, I will turn 45 years old. I’m planning to celebrate my birthday by arranging a small demonstration in front of Randall Library on the campus of The University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I realize this is short notice but I need a favor. Since we’re old friends I figured you could do this for me as an early birthday gift.

I’m looking for three cats that have been discarded by their owners because they were either unable to afford them or because they were just generally inconvenienced by them. It is my preference that you provide me with two white cats and one black cat. If you cannot accommodate me I would ask that you also provide me with spray paint – the kind your members spray on women wearing mink coats. For example, if you can only provide three white cats I will want to spay paint one of them black. I’ll explain that later.

I intend to take the three cats over to Randall Library at about ten in the morning. The Women’s Resource Center is located in Randall. I will call their staff beforehand and ask them to meet me out front. I don’t want my demonstration to disturb anyone who might be studying.

And since you’re so obviously sane, you and your long list of enemies and penchant for Mengele-birthday fantasies, I’m sure they’d be glad to meet you.

I can supply all of the other materials needed for the demonstration: a Black & Decker drill, an industrial vacuum cleaner, two clipboards, two pencils, and some paper. I might also need a water hose and three plastic garbage bags.

By now you may have guessed that it is my intention to perform – on all three cats – a procedure similar to “partial birth abortion.” I will use my Black & Decker drill to make a hole in the head of each cat, which will be large enough to accommodate the hose of an industrial vacuum cleaner. I will then use the vacuum to remove the brain matter from all three cats. Just as in “partial birth abortion” no anesthesia will be used on the object of the procedure.

I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t you just argue trying to do this with some newborns, for maximum effect, Mike? Other than you’re just a strange, angry human being? Why rope PETA into your abortion protest? They neither want to hurt cats nor write the abortion laws. I don’t understand the switch.

I understand that you may object to this demonstration as being illegal.

Wow, now that’s odd–that’s where he wants to start? Not that it’s hideously violent and obscene, and society will try to lock him up in a penitentiary? Is this supposed to be cool-headed satire?

But that objection does not have merit coming from you. You routinely destroy private property in order to make political points. Of course, these cats are no longer anyone’s private property. They have been discarded because they are too inconvenient or because they would be too much of a financial burden on their previous owners.

Oh, I see. Because the PETAs damage private property, you will torture and destroy and suck the brains out of helpless cats. So, somehow, the brutality of PETA’s lawlessness is equal to what Mike is going to do. It’s the law he’s desperate about, typical weirdo Conservative. I woulda thought by now he’d have at least hinted about the ‘evil’ nature of abortion, but, okay: for now, it’s raining cats and laws.

BTW, nobody is better at damaging private property than the military, but I somehow doubt that Mike’s going to maim recruits in front of the campus ROTC office.

Nor will the Women’s Resource Center be able to object on the basis of the illegality of my conduct. In March, they displayed pictures of nude children in Randall Library. People raised legal objections to the public display of pictures showing the breasts and pubic hair of these children. The feminist rebuttal was a simple First Amendment claim. Now, I’m claiming a right under the constitution to terminate life by removing brain matter.

‘Naked girl pictures’ equals ‘drilling holes in cat’s heads and forcibly removing their brains’. But strictly legally speaking. Of course, it’s so simple.

Incidentally, what Adams is so angry about here is The Century Project: the chronicling of individual women’s lives with nude photos from their births into their old age. Read about the head-scratching banning of the venerated show here. No wonder he wants to slaughter animals in front of the Women’s Resource Center–women are moved by the exhibition.

Finally, there will be objections that the blood of these cats will create some sort of health hazard. I’ve got that one covered, too. I debated a Ph.D student from UCLA on Fox News once in relation to a similar issue. His Professor of Theater was HIV positive and cut himself on stage so that his infected blood spilled out in front of the audience. He also relied on the First Amendment to defend his dramatic (literally) demonstration. We don’t have to worry about HIV positive cats. Once again, I am claiming a constitutional right to terminate life by removing brain matter.

Once again, because these people are non-lawmaking advocates of things he doesn’t like, Mike BREAKS THE LAW by drilling and killing helpless things.

After this little demonstration is over I will use the two clipboards, two pencils, and paper to create two sign up sheets. One will be used to sign students up for the student PETA chapter at UNC-Wilmington. The other will be used to sign students up for the student pro-life chapter at UNC-Wilmington. It will be very interesting to see which organization gains the most members in response to the demonstration.

After you do that to cats, can’t imagine anyone would join People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Mike Adams is obviously too right-wing overwrought to be remotely sentient at this point.

The Black Student Union might even want to recruit students at this event. After all, the one black cat is a symbol of the fact that 1/3 of those aborted in America are black. This is despite the fact that blacks are only 1/8 of the total population.

Finally, I will use the water hose and three plastic garbage bags to clean up any mess I might have made. I hope there will be no lasting trauma following my demonstration. After all, they are only cats. It’s isn’t like they’re human beings.

Wow, finally a mention of humans, in the last two words. He never even got to ‘babies’.

I doubt this will ever go away while Obama is President. It hasn’t slowed down yet.

RNC keeps racist pics on Facebook for nearly a week

…Members of the liberal news forum Democratic Underground launched a discussion about the photos on Sunday night.

“That’s blatant f—ing racism, against Facebook rules and basic human decency,” one upset commenter stated.

Another commenter noted the Obama photo had been on the RNC Facebook page since October 20. “So it has been up five days and not one person administering the site did anything about it. Apparently the site administrator finds this correctly sums up Republican philosophy.”

The photo was posted by a Facebook user named “Gee Dub,” apparently in reference to President George W. Bush. A comment by someone using the same user name, posted to the comments section of the RNC’s photo page, stated:

“Racism is necessary in our capitalistic system. To subject ourselves to the the socialist ideal of equality will surely destroy the American way of life. As a black man, racism has served as a great inspiration for me to work harder. God bless the Republican Party and God bless America.”

It was impossible to tell whether the writer was being sincere, or acting as a “troll” pretending to be a black man in favor of racism.

Oh, please. It’s not hard to tell at all.

Other photos causing consternation included one of Mother Teresa, in which the revered religious activist was shown feeding a child. The caption underneath read, “Enabling scab-eating mouth breathers will do them no good. How do we expect them to take care of themselves?” That photo, also posted by Gee Dub, was also removed.

rnckerryfacebookphoto RNC keeps racist pics on Facebook for nearly a weekYet another photo showed former presidential candidate John Kerry with what at first sight appears to be a rifle pointed at his head. The picture was framed in such a way that a gun several feet away from Kerry was made to look like it was aimed at his temple. That photo was removed as well.
