Asshole Of The Week…

MSBNC’s Norah O’Donnell (shown here describing Keith Olbermann’s ratings)

This veteran investigative reporter is at the top of her form, ambushing a 17 year old girl:

All those adults around, and AOTW goes to a kid in an  ”All I Got” t-shirt for a riveting news bite.  Nice.

If you don’t know, that’s Diana Rigg of “The Avengers” with the condom on her head. She’s come a long way, baby. And I, like Todd, have new respect for Daniel Radcliffe.

I Need Your Help Again…

How is it that if some asshole yells, e.g., ”Faggot!” or “Nigger!” and then murders the object of his misguided standard, he is guilty of a hate crime, but when another Muslim asshole yells “Allahu Akhbar!” and then murders 13 and wounds 30 more, our president doesn’t want us “jumping to conclusions” that he might be a terrorist?

I always felt that if you murdered (and I use the term “murder” instead of kill for the obvious legal reason) someone, regardless of the reason, you are either crazy, or you hate them, or both.

Referendum…

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/state_regional/state_regional_govtpolitics/article/kaine_says_democrats_faced_uphill_battles/303574/

“Kaine said that ‘in each state, the president’s approval ratings are better today than the share of the vote he received in each state in 2008.’“

That is not reflected in the most recent Richmond Times-Dispatch poll, conducted Oct. 28-29, in which Obama’s 43 percent favorability rating matched his 43 percent unfavorability rating. In 2008, Obama received 52.6 percent of the nearly 3.7 million votes in Virginia’s presidential contest.”

This is what is known among some people familiar with a dictionary as a “lie.” Nice try, Mr, Eyebrows.

Fair And Balanced?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/23/pub-obama-campaign-promises/

Let’s call a “promise kept” a win, a “promise broken” a loss, and a “promise partly kept,”  “work in progress,” or “not yet addressed” a tie.

Bye Fox’s reckoning, Obama is 4-4-9. Folks, that’s about as fair and balanced as it gets. You may disagree with the support for a given verdict, and you could assign different weights to each verdict depending on their overall importance, but this is what I would describe as a journalistic equilibrium.

It is arguable that “not yet addressed” could be a loss, and the way he has thrown gays under the bus is clearly an unmentioned loss, but Fox doesn’t even go there.

“Women In Peril”…

http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/publications/reports/womeninperil/study.pdf

A despicable trend, and I in no way support it. However…

For every single female victim of violence in TV or the movies, there are 100 actresses who are chomping at the bit to portray the part. For money. And don’t tell me they’re doing it to raise public consciousness about the issue.

Yes, I evoked the Huffington Post; go figure.

 

Worth A Forward…

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment? 

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 10 months; you’ll have three years and two months to come up with an answer.

Thanks, Bobby

Evolution Vs. Creation…

I’ll sum up a dandy exchange I had with a creationist stranger on one of my brothers’ facebook page, as he was trying to support creation “science”:

Creationist stranger: “Now as for your definition of ’science,’ be aware that the word has several definitions. People tend to choose the definition that suits their belief-system best. But creationism and evolutionism are equally scientific.”

“I guess it depends on what the definition of  ’is’  is.”—Bill Clinton

Creationist stranger: “They (evolutionists) refuse to accept a supernatural (italics added) explanation, no matter WHAT.”

Yes, I do indeed, in matters of science anyway. And therein I rest my case.
