It reminds me of stupid things from middle school that the girls went nuts over. Like New Kids On The Block.
Seriously. WTF?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is asking parents to immediately stop using a series of inflatable floats for babies in swimming pools, announcing a voluntary recall of about four million floats on Thursday.
The items — which inflate to seat babies and toddlers as they float on water — are manufactured by Massachussetts-based Aqua Leisure Industries. The company has voluntarily recalled 14 models because the legs straps in the seat of the float can tear, causing children to slip into the water and pose a drowning risk, the commission said in a statement.
Last week Dana was just pissing in his pants he was soooooo mad that a blogger asked the president a question, but I bet he’s got nothing to say about the paper that employs him – the Washington Post – auctioning off access like so much meat. The mainstream media in this country grows less relevant and more disliked every day, and they earn every bit of the scorn on their own.
Stormfront and other un-American hate groups see some nice prospects at the right-wing tea parties. The anti-immigrant rallies have also been busting at the seams with racists. That’s a clear path back for the right.
And until the Democrats get a new leader in the senate who isn’t compromised up to his eyeballs in right wing noise, we won’t be able to pass our agenda without it being seriously watered down. We need a majority leader from a strongly blue state who isn’t afraid to bust some toes.
Green Lantern First Flight DVDYou make hokey, silly ads like this one. Look, a couple folks from the South may chuckle at it, but to the rest of America it just makes the GOP out to be the Southern goobers so many of us think. Next time fellas, a little less Gomer Pyle, a little more Sheriff Andy.
The McCain campaign was going over a cliff. Sarah Palin had her pumps on the accelerator. Remember Todd Palin’s flirtation with the secessionist Alaska Independence Party (and Sarah Palin’s video officially celebrating their cause)?
“That’s not part of their platform and he was only a ‘member’ bc independent alaskans too often check that ‘Alaska Independent’ box on voter registrations thinking it just means non partisan,” Palin wrote. “He caught his error when changing our address and checked the right box. I still want it fixed.”
Palin was attempting to bend the facts ever so slightly to fit neatly into her version of events. In truth, the box that Alaskans have the option of checking when registering to vote states the full name of the party, “Alaskan Independence Party,” not “Alaska Independent,” which would make an error by uncommitted voters more plausible.
Clearly irritated by what he saw as Palin’s attempt to mislead her own campaign and apparently determined to demonstrate that the ultimate authority rested with him, Schmidt put the matter to rest once and for all with a longer response to everyone in the e-mail chain.
“Secession,” he wrote. “It is their entire reason for existence. A cursory examination of the website shows that the party exists for the purpose of seceding from the union. That is the stated goal on the front page of the web site. Our records indicate that todd was a member for seven years. If this is incorrect then we need to understand the discrepancy. The statement you are suggesting be released would be innaccurate. The innaccuracy would bring greater media attention to this matter and be a distraction. According to your staff there have been no media inquiries into this and you received no questions about it during your interviews. If you are asked about it you should smile and say many alaskans who love their country join the party because it speeks to a tradition of political independence. Todd loves his country
We will not put out a statement and inflame this and create a situation where john has to adress this.”
If I were writing a book about the McCain campaign in 2008 I would have to call it “What The F**** Was John Thinking?”
This Mitt Romney clearly would have issues with the Mitt Romney who ran vs. Ted Kennedy in 1994 and said that he was an independent during the Reagan-Bush time. And today’s Mitt Romney would clearly dispute the pro-choice Mitt Romney who ran for governor of Massachusetts back in 2002.
Or, it is possible that Mitt Romney is an untrustworthy panderer of the worst sort.
There’s this thing called the first amendment, and even sickos get the benefit of it. At least they should.
A California-based company that produced and distributed obscene materials and its owners were sentenced in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh today for violating federal obscenity laws, U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan announced.
U.S. District Judge Gary L. Lancaster sentenced Extreme Associates, Inc., co-owners Robert Zicari, aka Rob Black, 35, and his wife, Janet Romano, aka Lizzie Borden, 32, both of Northridge, Calif., to one year and one day in prison. Extreme Associates, Zicari and Romano pleaded guilty on March 11, 2009, to a felony charge of conspiracy to distribute obscene material through the mails and over the Internet. Through their plea agreements, the company and its owners acknowledged responsibility for the conduct charged in Counts 2 through 10 of the indictment – distributing three videos through the mail and six individual video clips over the Internet to Western Pennsylvania. In addition, they forfeited to the United States the Internet domain name, extremeassociates.com, which was used to commit the violations. The company is now defunct.
‘Extreme Associates produced and distributed sexually degrading material that portrayed women in the most vile and depraved manner imaginable,’ stated Ms. Buchanan. ‘These prison sentences affirm the need to continue to protect the public from obscene, lewd, lascivious or filthy material, the production of which degrades all of us,’ she added.
They wanted this one 70-something heartbeat away from the Oval Office. Scary.
Two McCain camapign sources tell me Schmidt was a leading proponent of keeping Palin muzzled and preventing her from talking to even conservative media — a claim that seems to undercut Schmidt’s claims of confidence in her.
Dear Wingnuts,
How it should work is this: You present ideas, and we present ideas, and the American people decide – as they have in the past – which bunch of ideas they want to go with. Sometimes they pick your ideas, sometimes they pick ours. While I clearly think ours are better, we don’t have all the answers. We’ve prospered over the last 200+ years on that exchange of ideas. But on occasion (1964, 2008) you guys lose so badly that you go nutso. When we get beaten we tend to beat up on ourselves, wondering why America doesn’t like us. When you guys lose we get stories about hidden communism in flouridated water or serious sounding analysis about the President giving people the evil eye.
That is the hallmark of crazy, and while it helps my side of the fight in the short term, in the long term its just not a good thing to have one party be the ruling party of sanity while the other is presenting the evil eye as a serious policy position.
Love,
Oliver
That’s how the reign of Donald Rumsfeld should always be remembered.
This isn’t news to anyone that isn’t Norm Coleman, but it’s good to have it in the record. Again.
The Minnesota Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state’s long-running Senate race, paving the way for a resolution in the seven-month fight over the seat.
Now Tim Pawlenty must certify Senator Franken.
UPDATE: Finally, Norm Coleman has conceded.
Eli Lehrer of the oil-industry backed Competitive Enterprise Institute, writing in the National Review – that’s who! His argument? Bernard Madoff’s sentence is excessive. Really.
Pentagon and military officials report that the withdrawal of most U.S. military forces from Iraq’s major cities has been completed a day ahead of tomorrow’s deadline.
According to the officials, within the past 30 days, 30 U.S. military bases have either been closed down or handed over to Iraqi security forces. A total of 150 bases have been shut down or turned over to Iraqis in the past nine months.
He went to the moon, this means he is allowed to do anything – including rap. (via Sarah)
Expect more of this for the next 4-8 years. Right wing group backed by oil/big business makes attack on the president, Fox amplifies it, like its an actual thing. As they showed when they cheerleaded the nation into war, facts and consequences simply don’t matter to them.-
Discussing the 5-4 Supreme Court decision today in the firefighter case, conservatives somehow made 5 become 9. They’re still pretty bad at math.
