During last night’s speech in North Carolina, Barack Obama said the following, referring to the divisive way the political game is played:
We will end it not by duplicating the same tactics and the same strategies as the other side, because that will lead us down the same path of polarization and of gridlock.
We will end it by telling the truth.
We will end it by telling the truth forcefully, repeatedly, confidently, and by trusting that the American people will embrace the need for change, even if it’s coming from an imperfect messenger, because that’s how we’ve — that’s — because that’s how we’ve always changed this country, not from the top down, but from the bottom up, when you, the American people, decide that the stakes are too high and the challenges are too great.
FAIL. You’ve been fact-checked, Barry.
You’re going to tell the truth, Barack? What, did you decide suddenly to turn over a new leaf?
See, he can keep repeating this lie and play divisive politics himself by painting all of his opponents as “fear mongers” and racists, but he’s not fooling me with his rhetorical gymnastics. Here’s how he rolls:
* Opponent points out his faults, whether it’s his far-left agenda, his lackluster Chicago Democrat political record (that shows nothing resembling “change,” “unity,” or “hope”), or his history of alliances with radical leftists.
* Obama says this is divisive, and a distraction from the issues.
* Obama lies about his opponent’s record and agenda.
* Obama surrogates pile on, calling opponents racists.
* Obama surrogates/supporters lie about and attack the other candidates, and repeat absurd and demonstrably false accusations about them. (AKA “libel.”)
* Opponents are called “divisive” for drawing attention to Obama’s actual history.
* Obama surrogates claim that it’s all a smokescreen for what’s really just fear of a black President.
You tell me–who’s being divisive, if he and his supporters aren’t?
When IS he going to start telling the truth?
Well, after tonight, we have only 2 weeks and 4 shows to go. Wow, time flies fast. Here’s hoping that one of the dudes go. I’m not big on syesha, but at least she has a nice enough bahonkis to crush on for a while…
“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” –Ronald Reagan
Gaze at the stupidity of gubmint regulation.
Dave Eck, a Half Moon Bay mechanic, had attracted a media spotlight with his fleet of vehicles fueled by used fryer grease from a local chowder house. So when Sacramento called, he figured officials wanted advice on promoting alternative fuels.
Not at all. The government rang to notify Eck that he was a tax cheat. He was scolded for failing to get a “diesel fuel supplier’s license,” reporting quarterly how many gallons of grease he burns, and paying a tax on each gallon.
“All of a sudden they nailed me for a road tax,” said Eck, who drives a Hummer converted to run on vegetable oil. “I said, ‘Not a problem. I’ll do my part. But what do I get? At least let me into the carpool lane.’ ”
No such luck. The state offered Eck only a potentially large fine — and not just for failing to pay taxes. He can also get in trouble for carting kitchen grease away from eateries without a license from the state Meat and Poultry Inspection Branch.
Or for not having at least $1 million in liability insurance, in case he spills some of the stuff. Or for not getting permission from the state Air Resources Board to burn fat in the first place.
The regulations are so burdensome that even Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, trying to set an example for Californians by driving a Hummer that burns cooking oil he buys at Costco, had not complied. Schwarzenegger, who has said that the exhaust from his Hummer smells so much like French fries that his passengers get hunger pangs, was unaware that he was required to send Sacramento an 18-cent road tax for every gallon of kitchen oil he burned, according to spokesman Aaron McLear. After The Times raised the issue, McLear said the governor would pay the taxes he owed.
The governor’s staff says it is working on making it easier to drive using vegetable oil without being an outlaw.

Meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh is claiming to have beaten the Obama campaign. LOL. Um…not.
Okay, seriously? If Operation Chaos were such a big deal, how the hell did Hillary not clean up in Indiana? I mean, just a week ago, weren’t we all thinking she’d have a double-digit win over Obama because of the latest Crazy Uncle Jeremiah Eruption? But Rush gets some phone calls in to his show and reads liberal rags whining about Operation Chaos, and that translates to the margin of victory for Hillary? No. Don’t believe the hype, kids–it’s about ratings. Nothing wrong with ratings–that’s his job, and he does it well. Just don’t take this too seriously, okay? Especially you silly libs, who are no doubt crying about this as “proof” that you got robbed. STFU. You can STFU too, Sean Hannity–this isn’t your baby, so quit trying to rock it.
So…a week ago, the Wright Eruption happened, and people were suddenly thinking HRC might actually get the nomination after all. People were saying she was getting close to Obama in North Carolina (a state teh Obamination is now calling a “swing state”–LOL), and that her lead was widening in Indiana. Oh, how wrong that turned out to be just a week later. What happened?
Honestly, I’m a little disappointed; I wanted Billary to have a stronger reason to keep in the race until the convention, just like every other Republican voter did, including Rush Limbaugh in particular. Hey, maybe since Rush put Operation Chaos at parade rest a week ago…maybe that’s what had the effect. Heh. (Sorry, he can’t have it both ways.) So this is probably it for the “inevitable” candidate, for all practical purposes–barring another Crazy Uncle Jeremiah Eruption, although I don’t think he can have much more effect on Democrat voters at this point. Certainly Comrade Ayers won’t either, considering his philosophy is neatly aligned with Democrats today. At this point, Barack Obama could probably get caught smoking hash with strange gay men and all his friends in a mosque, and most of his supporters would still vote for him anyway. Hillary has canceled her appearances for this morning, and we’ll see what that means as the day progresses.
Coming into Tuesday, Clinton was some 415 pledged delegates short of the number needed to clinch the nomination-that count does not include Florida and Michigan. Obama was just 280 shy entering Tuesday. Come Wednesday, Obama will likely be within 200 delegates of reaching the magic number of 2,025 pledged delegates.
If the Clinton campaign decides to fight on, the race for the nomination could enter a contentious and confusing phase as the end of the primary season nears. The Democratic National Committee’s Rules and Bylaws Committee is set to meet at the end of the month, where members will debate whether to seat the delegations from Michigan and Florida. Tad Devine says that meeting could be the start of weeks of procedural wrangling between the campaigns, assuming the Clinton campaign takes up that fight.
“Anything from inconsequential action to turmoil can come out of that process,” Devine says. “It’s really up to the campaigns to decide what they want the tone of this to be, because the rules are such that they could go as nuclear as they want if it drags on, especially if it gets to Denver.”
Oh, and Harold Ickes warns of October Surprises. “A curious strategy,” indeed.
Watch Howard Dean go to war with the RAAACISTS!!! Clintons now–and with the superdelegates if they don’t start showing their cards. This is gonna be fun. :D

Which of course is not nearly as exciting as say the NCAA’s final 4 or hockey’s final 4 or the national booger pickers final 4 or really, nearly any final 4 on the planet. But we have to be there as is our sentence. Come heckle with us…
I guess I shouldn’t “LOL,” but it is funny how Democrats are always shrieking about unfair elections when you read stuff like this:
We entered the Crooked Creek Baptist Church in Washington Township at approximately 10:15 AM and noticed an Obama volunteer had set-up directly across from the voter check-in table. We noticed that she was actively speaking to voters. The sign on the table stated “Trouble Voting? Talk to me.” and “Obama for America.” She wouldn’t identify herself and directed us to call the campaign for information. We contacted the County Clerk’s Office and they stated they would contact the Polling Inspector to investigate. See the video for yourself: …
Busted! Idiots.
Oh, and you stay classy, Clintonistas. (At least they weren’t cheating–just obnoxious.)
As with the Pennsylvania primary election, you can follow breaking news reports of election shenanigans at Election Journal. If you have Twitter, you’ll get even faster updates by following them.
Others to watch at Twitter: Patrick Ruffini, Campaign2008, and Political Ticker.
I really have nothing to add to this wonderfully snarky article about celebrity ecofascists, except that I wish they would all just kindly STFU about Goreball Worming™ until they practice what they preach. Of course, none of this is news to anyone–it’s just fun to point and laugh at their hypocrisy.
Here’s world-renowned genius Brad Pitt:
“There’s a lot of problems in the world right now because of our dependency on oil,” Pitt gravely warned his fans in a recent interview.
Key word being “our,” as in his and Angelina’s dependency on oil, along with the rest of celebritardom.
Apologies all around for sending you to a link with a frightening pic of Sting and Trudie Styler. ACK!

Actually, I won’t be doing anything of the kind. I hate tequila, gorditas, and Taco Hell. I just thought the card was funny.
Besides, I’m American. I couldn’t care less about Cinco de Mayo or any other country’s national holidays. But if I did want to celebrate for some reason and if I liked tequila and gorditas, puking on the side of a Taco Bell sounds like as good a way to do it as any. :-P
Kierra Bell for Detroit City Council!
BTW, Monica Conyers is Rep. John Conyers’ wife. (Do a Google search on her for more fun.)
Two postscripts:
1. Based on a couple of the YouTube comments, I probably need to put a warning here (thanks, Google): racist shit in the comments will be deleted, and I’d refer you to Miss Kierra Bell for remedial education. Racists get the banhammer.
2. Why is Charlie the Unicorn in the related videos? Who cares! I ♥ Charlie the Unicorn!
That one’s from the DNC, not MoveOn.org, but what’s the difference? Not to worry, though, moveon.org has released their own “100 years” strawman ad called “Candles.” Really, if this “100 years” strawman is the best they’ve got (and it appears to be their election strategy, along with “McSame” - LOL), I’m thinking we’ve got smooth sailing on the horizon. Obviously the libs really do believe voters are too stupid to figure out that it’s dishonest nonsense.
But for the libtards’ benefit (since they apparently are that stupid), a little fact checking is in order. Not that MoveOn or the DNC care about those pesky things called “facts.”
Please, Democrats, do stick with that strawman campaign!

PSYCH! (Shhh. I’m going to make happen by sheer force of will.)
UPDATE:
Shit. So much for force of will. Oh well, Brooke sucks anyway. If it couldn’t be Poopyhead leaving, I’m glad it’s her (although I’ve wished for Susan/David A. to go home since the first week).
Neil Diamond is here this week. The dinosaurs just keep coming…
Feel like slapping around a real world-class internetard asshat? Remember the Nazi Kier O’Neil? Er, I mean the guy Kier O’Neil, who is unemployed and looking for work?
I wouldn’t normally put out a call like this, but this Kier O’Neil nazi deserves the full Internet Hate Machine treatment. I banned him from here as soon as he attempted to leave his hate-filled fistfuls of poo here. Kier O’Neil has his own website on which he can spout his nonsense.
P.S. Good luck with the job search, Nazi Kier O’Neil. LOL.
I’m already tired of talking about the latest Wright Eruption, but this pretty well sums up my sentiments about Barry Obama’s presser today.
I don’t think anyone believes Barry is of the same mindset as Wright; his problem is the fact that he’s a coward. While Oprah Winfrey and no doubt hundreds of others over the years found Wright’s tenor unsettling enough to leave, Obama didn’t have the guts to do so himself. He didn’t have the sense to understand that this bomb-thrower would end up being a problem. Maybe he thought only racists would vocally object to Wright, I don’t know. It doesn’t really matter, though. What matters is Barack Obama is obviously not a good judge of character, doesn’t understand most Americans, and doesn’t have the courage to speak the truth to the man for whom he named his autobiography until he is in a desperate situation. Note that this is the same Presidential candidate that can’t take the heat from reporters in the debates or when asked questions outside a formal, staged setting. This is the same guy who refused for two years to go on Fox News, for crying out loud. (What kind of unity is that when you avoid a large swath of voters? But I digress.) What the hell is he afraid of? If he can’t handle questions from a mostly friendly press (and that includes Fox News!), how on earth is he going to handle the really difficult questions that arise as President?
Obviously I have no intention of voting for Barry Obama and his tired old quasi-socialist, Chicago Democrat machine, hopey-changey, self-indulgent ideas, anyway. But damn. I’ve said in the past that if I were a dopey lib, I’d probably end up voting for Barry - although I really don’t know, because I can’t imagine being a lib, and I find no reason to vote for him other than the fact that his last name isn’t Clinton. I sure wouldn’t now, though. But then, if I were a lib, I’d probably not care so much about having a President/Commander in Chief with cojones, with intestinal fortitude, while we’re at war or otherwise. I’m sure he does want to be a candidate for “unity,” but he’s not a legislator of unity, and he’s not chosen to disassociate from divisive, hateful people. Not until it was a political necessity, that is. His public persona is just as illusory as his campaign of Hopey-Change. “This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen,” as Slick Willie correctly said.
I do feel a measure of compassion for Obama’s predicament; he was right when he said Wright showed no consideration for him or his campaign. He was absolutely betrayed by this vengeful, narcissistic man. People will say Obama threw Wright “under the bus” (man, I’m sick of that phrase), but really, Wright threw him under the bus yesterday when he went out and threw fuel on the fire. Wright is out for himself, his own glory. But all that said, Jeremiah Wright is quite arguably the same pastor he met twenty years ago.
Obama must think us all bitter morons to try and pass off this embarrassment as the product of some kind of ideological evolution on Wright’s part.
We’re ignorant, so we’re full of hate. Bitter.
I may change my opinion of this for better or worse as time goes on. A lot of that is going to frankly depend on how this evolves, and you can be sure of one thing - it will continue being part of Obama’s story, whether Obama and his supporters like it or not.
Y’all know I have a daughter of the Hannah Montana-fan age. I sort of feel obligated to say something because I am so absolutely disgusted, but I almost feel talked out on the subject, at least with my daughter. I’ve certainly spent more time thinking about it than I’d expect, but nobody ever said parenting a young girl nowadays was easy, I guess. I just needed to talk about it with my daughter before I wrote about this episode here.
The short version: If you read Vanity Fair now, after this, you are actively part of the problem.
But that’s not all I can say. Not by a longshot. I’m not going to post the pictures here; they’re everywhere else anyway. I will not put a child in provocative poses on display for pedophiles to ogle. I’m kind of annoyed that everyone expressing outrage is doing it, but I guess people figure it’s everywhere else already, so whatever. I’m just not going to.
So okay, what the hell were her parents thinking? Is Billy Ray Achy-Breaky-One-Hit-Wonder Cyrus worried that his cash cow daughter has peaked? Is he afraid she’ll end up “washed up” at 16? What in God’s name do her parents think these pictures appeal to, in Vanity Fair magazine? It’s not like nine year-olds read it - hell, as the parent of a nine year-old, even I don’t read it. I loathe their Hollywood-NYC celebrity voyeur/porn mentality, their libertine hedonism, and their liberal politics. And Annie Leibovitz? Seriously? Does that idiot father of hers not know the style of photography she does? Oh wait, of course he does. Even Miley Cyrus knew, at 15.
Gawker, certainly no blog championing the rights of children or sexual modesty, calls out Leibovitz and Vanity Fair, and this is a whole lot of what I fear as well:
There’s a technique called “grooming” that pedophiles use on their victims (yes, we just learned about it today, thank you). One definition says “Grooming behavior is intended to make the victim or potential victim or victim’s guardians feel comfortable with the molester and even interested in interacting with him.” And here’s a characteristic of a regressed child molester: “They place pseudo-adult status on their victims and then view them as they would their peers.”
Isn’t that what it’s really about? Appealing to child predators? Weren’t we JUST talking about a legal case in Texas where girls this age are being married off and having children with much older men? That’s objectionable, but not this?
Gawker goes after Leibovitz here, too:
Yes, a free press extends into the celebrity arena, and yes, we’re all for openness in reporting, obviously. But Leibovitz, who has earned over the course of her career the right to call the shots on the photos that fill our country’s glossiest magazine pages, has lost her perspective. It’s a matter of very simple decency, and one doesn’t have to be a prude, or a conservative, or even someone frustrated with the sheer vapid nature of these things, to steer clear of sexualizing children for the sake of selling more magazines.
E X A C T L Y.
The kid is 15 years old. What’s she going to do with her consenting parents there, and Annie Leibovitz the renowned photographer? Resist? Not bloody likely.
Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought it was really cool. That’s what she wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie.
God, I hate these vultures’ guts.
You know, it’s been like a death watch of sorts, just waiting, hoping this sweet girl wouldn’t have a Britney-Jamie Lynn-Lindsay moment, like they all do. I know that’s awful, just waiting for it to happen, praying she would be different. Certainly, this isn’t a Britney-Lindsay (or God knows, Jamie Lynn) moment, but it’s a warning shot of sorts. Billy Ray Cyrus has let the world know that it’s okay to think of his 15 year-old daughter as a sexual object, with a greedy assist from Leibovitz and Vanity Fair, all to happy to get the big star and the publicity that attends her. Controversy and moral/ethical considerations be damned, it’s about money.
Now of course, Miley’s put out a statement expressing regret, although I doubt she thought to do that all on her own. I’m not one to talk about a “bonfire” of Hannah Montana crap, but I don’t know where to go next with my daughter’s favorite actress/singer. Even I like Miley, and I’m certainly no fan of bubblegum pop at all. I don’t fault her; I fault all the so-called adults around her who should damn well know better. Fifteen year-olds, even millionaire stars like Miley Cyrus, simply do not know what the sexualization of kids is about or what it does to them.
Please, Miley, show all of us–mothers, daughters, and dads, too–that we are worrying for no reason in your case. Our daughters are crazy about you, and we need you (and your young celebrity peers) to be worthy of their adoration. Make this really be “a mistake.” Please.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: My friend Bill emailed me this; please read it.
Here’s a site that will interest you:
http://www.minorcon.org/miley1.html
You probably didn’t watch the Donna Reed show, but it was a big TV Family show. Paul Petersen played the son. His site is mainly aimed at current, and former child stars. Some of the stories will break your heart:
http://www.minorcon.org/toc.html
Bill followed that up with a link to help support the fight against child exploitation in pop culture. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I wish the major gossip sites like Gawker, TMZ, etc. would make this organization known to their readers as well.
My friends, it is no longer a question of IF we’ll make things better for professional children, but WHEN. We remain committed to our intervention and support mission as well, acting through several vehicles. We are tied to many delivery systems for help in substance abuse and treatment, we continue to offer financial aid and no-cost counseling and mentoring programs. We continue to serve on the Young Performers Committee (now starting our 7th year) and attend the continuing Orientation Meetings for young performers and their parents held every 3rd Tuesday of the month at Screen Actors Guild headquarters in Los Angeles.
Legislation is working its way through the process in KANSAS and NORTH CAROLINA, plus Iowa, Arizona, and Texas. We will have an up-date on those endeavors shortly. House Bill 2838, just so you’ll know, passed out of the Kansas Assembly 122-0 in late-March.
We’re on a roll.
Let me close this report by asking for your financial support. A Minor Consideration is no longer a small concern. Our interests are global. I would not have to ask if our mission had remained just caring for former kid stars down on their luck. We are into Prevention now. Our initial charter and mission statement remains in place. It’s the work that has changed. We are using the tools of the electronic generation to make contributions a bit easier for you. Your financial assistance is vital. We take no fees for any of our services. No one has yet to draw a salary. As our record of accomplishments grows you can be sure that we’ll put your money to good use.
Please go read A Minor Consideration.
