If you find yourself in Greensboro, NC, on Wednesday night and feeling a little randy, you are invited to visit a local titty bar to show your respect and love for Trayvon, and to proclaim your demand for justice. Just FYI.....via American Digest
So when the Obama camp announced via Twitter yesterday that it was putting its 2012 hoodies on 'sale', it got some thinking: Is the President trying to capitalize off the death of Trayvon Martin?
It should be noted that there’s nothing suggesting the above hoodie is a new produce offering. In fact, the sale would suggest it has been around. But even if it’s not a new product, it is still curious as to the timing of the sale. Coincidence?The Blaze
"We saw the venom spewed when Andrew Breitbart died, every time Dick Cheney has a health scare (or heart transplant), and every time something violent happens (such as the Arizona shooting and the more recent Florida shooting): leftists are filled to the very brim with the most putrid hatred imaginable. They curse, they swear, they blame, they agitate violence, they make rape and death threats, they put bounties on people's heads (including making Wanted Dead or Alive posters that were initially used to mock President Bush but now seem like a great idea. Somehow), they call for the murder of policemen . . . you name it, if it's repellent and evil, the far left says and does it. Publicly and with absolutely no self-reflection, filtering, or chagrin. They're proud to be irredeemably reprehensible and tell themselves it's okay because they're the "compassionate" ones. Unreal."
"Being a leftist means being totally exempt from their own phony standards (does anyone really buy all the faux "outrage" anymore? I know I don't.). We know this, but what's amazing to me is that they don't even see it. They somehow manage to justify calling for the murder of innocent people as . . . what? I honestly don't know. It's impossible for me to even begin to understand this warped mindset. But it is one that is certainly shared with their Dear Leader, a man who makes enemies lists, attempts to shut down opposing viewpoints, and has a policy of "rewarding his friends and punishing his enemies."
"They're being led by the Pied Piper of evil, and most of them love it, being rather evil themselves, they strut along proudly behind their false messiah (Mmm, mmm, mmm!) and support policies that not only blatantly destroy our country but that enslave the very people they claim to want to help. However, there are those among them, or seemed to be in the Twitter game, who seem genuinely duped. It's these people we may be able to reach and shake from their slumber."Please read the entire post here @Fuzislippers.blogspot.com
We’re both women who have worked in Democratic politics and the media for decades and find Bill Maher’s misogynist treatment of women candidates deeply disturbing. Coincidentally we both hail from Alaska — where women are treated as equals — so perhaps our threshold for this kind of behavior is less than here in the Lower 48.
Mr. Maher has implicitly attempted to tie his own demeaning attacks on women to the unrelated issue of partisan-motivated fake outrage, which we agree is tiring. While others have been held to account for their sexism, Mr. Maher remains unrepentant for his attacks on women in public life.
How can we expect women to run for office when they are essentially told to “lighten up about” and accept misogynist attacks? The Women’s Media Center has found that such attacks on women candidates have a measurable negative effect on how voters view them.
Our message to Mr. Maher and his ilk is: Please start apologizing.

"Yesterday, a reporter from the Irish Times responsible for the foreign press pool report of a breakfast with Joe Biden and Irish prime minister Enda Kenny noted that the "[vice president of the United States] seems to have an inexhaustible supply of Irish sayings." But it wasn't just Irish sayings--Biden also threw in a dirty joke at the official White House reception."
"You know there’s and old Irish saying," Biden said. "There’s all kinds of old Irish sayings. (Laughter.) At least my Grandfather Finnegan, I think he made them up, but it says, may the hinges of our friendship never go rusty. Well, with these two folks that you’re about to meet, if you haven’t already, there’s no doubt about them staying oiled and lubricated here. Ladies and gentlemen -- (laughter) -- now, for you who are not full Irish in this room, lubricating has a different meaning for us all."[snip]
