Thanks for the links, Snoskred. ( Dowd referring to Palin as demented – ha!) I double-dare sarah to enter into a public debate about health care. She’s oh so “bold” hiding behind facebook and a ghost writer who can put her crazy spew into something that resembles “coherent”. I want someone to call her crap OUT and don’t let up until she does.
If Jesus really is coming back I have a feeling that his first order of business is going to be a visit to buttercup to tell her to sit down and shut the freakin’ hayle up!
Good morning, all. Looks like I missed some great fun by leaving the party early last night. Also looks like everyone’s still sleeping in! “Meet the Press” is in its 2nd half and I don’t see any of my Sunday news mudpups.
Bloomberg is on this morning and I have to say, I like the guy. I actually enjoy listening to him.
Round table is coming up and they’ll be talking health care and the uproar.
Hi LynnR- So far this morning, nothing new on Facebook. I read through some of the “learnin’ links” she put up there yesterday and they’re all “opinions” and not researched articles.
“This Week” is on now. Howard Dean and Gingrich are on today and sitting next to each other. Looks weird! Should be interesting as they cover health care.
Hey Samper – I left too early last night but I did get a good sleep!
Is Howard Dean working out ?? He looks like he’s lost a lot of weight. He thinks that all the yelling is just typical GOP business as usual. Gingrich thinks there’s nothing wrong with all the yelling and it’s part of democracy.
How can anyone think that angrily screaming at the top of your lungs is reasonable??
The latest rant from Alaska’s Village Idiot may be the best thing yet for health care reform- pointing out the opposition is the Idiot Fringe. Her “Death Panel” comments are being ridiculed nation wide, including Mike Litwin’s column in the Denver Post today.
It has been reported that of the thugs shouting “no government involvement in health care” half are on Medicare. Stupidity has become a religion in this country.
I figure that no more than 12% of Americans are completely crazy (the 20% who are Republicans, times the 60% of Republicans that are Birfers). They may scream, but that leaves 88% of us to get the job done.
This is Kommandante George Soros contacting all Mudflatters via tinfoil helmet and toothbrush communicators. Our fearless Premier (Oops, I mean President) Barack Obama needs volunteers to man his Health Reform Death Panels. Please send resumes to Senator Ted Kennedy (oh, wait a minute. Sorry, Mr. Kennedy is receiving his elder care counseling, wink, wink, as we speak). Please send all resumes to Justice Sotomayor. Experience in euthanasia and child abuse is mandatory.
Those that are interested, please report in immediately
Just partially through This Week with George S., Dean and Newt.
George quoted $arah. Newt tried to step in and start defending it and George cut him off when he started to take the Ezekiel quote and ‘twist it’. George put his foot down. Didn’t get much of a ‘ discussion ‘ of how crazy it was.
Going to the Round table.
.
Good morning, Alaska. The very same sun is just coming up over Russia here in Hawaii!
We’ve prepared some special musical pu-pu’s (not what it sounds like) for your aural delectation this week, in honor of your late great Governor, um… Sorry, forgot her name… and rednecks everywhere: Country roots music. Sorry, no Christian rock. We’re Satanists here in fake document land. If you need a birth certificate, just call. But hurry, before the Death Boards get us all!
.
With all of the voices weighing in on all sides of a health care debate, it is a sad that the MSM would pick up Sarah’s crazed comment– unless– it is a master stroke of reverse psychology. By repeating Sarah’s absurd death panel quote, they have picked something so horrific that it turns people against her and the other republicans who are trying to block health care reform. I never thought that the MSM could be so clever, so that’s the their plan.
Come and join Twitter #TweetThePress to discuss healthcare and healthcare reform without shouting or giving crazy information that you might have gotten from you know who.
Blogger wrote that “Trig’s down syndrome” was a pre-existing condition therefore he will be unable to get health care under current systems. Although SP has paid gov’t health care..
Dean IS looking rather “buff” these days! Probably got away from all that pizza on the campaign trail! But I find that rapid weight loss in someone “of a certain age” tends to make them look a little older. Just me?
Yeah. Right. OK. I got it. Being disruptive, intrusive, divisive, loud, angry, inflammatory, disrespectful of others, threatening, violent in words and actions, ignorant, dishonest, etc. is all part of “democracy”. Newt is an idiot. Why isn’t SOME sane Republican (and I know there are SOME out there!) voicing opposition to this outrageous behavior? Would they tolerate it in their homes? I think NOT. Then we shouldn’t tolerate it at TOWN Hall (it takes a village and all that stuff) meetings!
The Founding Fathers are all rolling around in their graves (can you feel the earth moving?) thinking we have become the antithesis of their intentions. They would NEVER have behaved so badly, opposing position or not! They, I am quite sure, exercised the utmost in manners and decorum, even in disagreement. At least, I haven’t HEARD of fisticuffs going on at their meetings!
This is just ONE MORE REASON that if we can attend a TH Meeting, we do so with the utmost intelligence, FACT, calm and respect. We don’t want to lose our cool (our President is a great example of keeping cool!) and thereby diminish our message. Visit whitehouse.gov for clear, concise summaries of the points on the bill as it is being revised and hammered out. Speak calmly and in a normal speaking voice, with confidence. It’ll drive the crazies mad that we aren’t shouting back, giving them a platform to do likewise.
I’m still a little worried about Oregon Sue, who intends to attend a meeting WITH a sign. She hasn’t confirmed that she will NOT go alone into the fray. She needs to work the Buddy System, as do we all. Don’t go alone! You have no idea how riled up folks could get and how it could affect you. ESPECIALLY if you take a sign to voice a reasonable statement (which I wholeheartedly support). I happened to miss the one nearby, but am keeping my eyes open for another one before end of month. I plan to hire body guards, just like SP does! OK, I lied. I’ll take BF! And he will NOT like it, but I find that “withholding” (if you know what I mean) tends to persuade him to do that which he isn’t crazy about doing!
My toothbrush was picking up today’s message. I regret to inform the Commandant that I respectfully decline the invitation to be on the Death Panel. My mom wouldn’t like that and I don’t want Van Fleebag coming after me for killing Trig. He (fleabag) gives me the creeps and if I’m gonna have legal stuff going on, I don’t want him near me. Not even in the same courtroom. Blecccchhh!
Somehow, I missed the boat on this stuff:
Who are “BROWN” shirts?
What is “ASTROTURF” whatever?
I’ve seen the expressions, but can’t connect the dots.
Cosano: I lived in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island! Where are you?
I need a BC saying I’m only 29. Can you help?
I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE the variations of pu pu’s with teryaki of any kind!!!! Miss those, and it’s not like I can’t make them here… it’s just that they aren’t the same as when eating them while enjoying the Kona Coast!
Aloha, bra!
Speaking of bras… How do you gals STAND underwires? They HURT! I’m giving up. I don’t care if gravity brings ‘em to my knees.
Polly- I lived in Fbks for 45 years, then moved to Washington. It doesn’t surprise me they are defending Shi//ypants, they love the free gov. money, as long as they don’t have to follow any FED rules. Remember SP and her no strings attached.!! Hell, they even argue over having roundabouts, or whether the cemetery looks like a garbage dump (which it does) but some like it that way, saying ” we don’t want to be like the lower 48.”
In Fbks. the saying is “if you want to live, you have to leave” I firmly believe my husband wouldn’t be alive today if we didn’t move for better medical services( heart problems and diabetes), that was 10 yrs. ago.
Yo all you Michiganders….did you hear? Republican Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop told WJR radio that he welcomes “an angry mob” turning against the Michigan governor.
Outrageous. Sorry I missed the party last night! Many good articles this AM, though. From HuffPo: “Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” (Matthew) Dowd cautioned conservatives to not go too far in pushing back against Obama’s agenda, lest they be blamed for actually preventing people from getting better health care coverage.”
Apparently, the message progressives should be getting out is that Republicans are preventing us from getting better health care coverage:-)
not that sarah: ARE YOU A MICHIGANDER? If so, planning to hit PA Mudstock? I’m still looking for a last minute car pool!!!
And do you know WHY he welcomes a “Mob”? Because he THINKS Jenny can’t handle it.
I can assure you. Jenny CAN handle it and she will do so with grace, decorum and even respect. And she will shoot them down. Kill ‘em with kindness, if you will.
I hope the R’s in my state don’t go to the extreme, but I have FULL FAITH AND CONFIDENCE in my Gov!
And I don’t even know how many kids she has or how old they are or ANYTHING!
I found a very interesting comment on TPM Muckraker. The commenter takes on $P’s self-exploitive sexual dimension in her political activities. It is a topic we rarely dare to mention for fear of appearing anti-feminist, jealous, dabasing etc. I find the comment to explain a lot of what I personally feel.
The commenter first uses the term “bimbo”, is trashed for it in following comments, and then goes on to explain :
“I used the terms advisedly and thus beg to disagree.
She simply would not be where she is if she didn’t drive old Republican white guys like Barnes and Kristol and the delegates to the last Republican convention into a mortifyingly transparent state of sexual frenzy. She has unashamedly used her looks as a shield to protect herself from the kind of scrutiny she most certainly would have received if she were a man, or an older, less attractive woman, who went babbling vapid yet incindiary nonsense the way she does.
Even Bachmann can form complete sentences and even intelligible, if demented, concepts.
The steady stream of culpably incindiary mendacity that comes from Palins’s mouth is nothing less than the political obscenity and the fact that it’s being spouted by what passes for a sex symbol among old rich white guys is why she came so terrifyingly close to the White House. She is nothing more, and nothing less, than an authoritarian political porn star.
If we’re not allowed to acknowledge, and frankly confront, the self-exploitive sexual dimension of Sarah Palin’s rise to power (such as it is) for fear of transgressing some self-imposed feminist speech code, her prominence on the national stage is thoroughly incomprehensible. If we can’t address that because it’s not politically correct, it’s impossible to accurately convey how she can simultaneously represent a grave danger to the nation and yet also be utterly and completely insignificant.”
I totally agree that the term “political porn star” defines $P perfectly, and is not used lightly or as a mere insult. It is an exact deffinition of her.
Glad to hear many speaking out on Palin’s DEATH PANEL comments. This from Howard Dean: (see video at CNN.com) This one titled “stop makin’ stuff up!”
Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told CNN Sunday that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had deliberately made up charges that the Obama administration’s health care bill would lead to euthanasia.
“About euthanasia, they’re just totally erroneous. She just made that up,” he said. “Just like the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ that she supposedly didn’t support.
“If we’re not allowed to acknowledge, and frankly confront, the self-exploitive sexual dimension of Sarah Palin’s rise to power (such as it is) for fear of transgressing some self-imposed feminist speech code, her prominence on the national stage is thoroughly incomprehensible. If we can’t address that because it’s not politically correct, it’s impossible to accurately convey how she can simultaneously represent a grave danger to the nation and yet also be utterly and completely insignificant.”
Cosano: I lived in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island! Where are you?
K-Bay I need a BC saying I’m only 29. Can you help?
Can. Cos’ extra, doh. I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE the variations of pu pu’s with teryaki of any kind!!!! Miss those, and it’s not like I can’t make them here… it’s just that they aren’t the same as when eating them while enjoying the Kona Coast!
True dat. Aloha, bra!
Alohas.
.
@samper, sadly, no, I don’t live in Michigan!!! I wish I could go to PA but work calls.
But I do love your governor and thought she was a great example of a beautiful, feminine, strong woman who stood up bravely for her constituents!!! A strong counterpoint to SP, I might add. I have a lot of friends in Michigan who keep me updated about what’s going on there. A beautiful state!
What do we remember from David Letterman’s riffs? The “slutty flight attendant” phrase.
The sex-crazed-old-buck syndrome, so blindingly obvious, is the true elephant in the room when it comes to Palin. And it’s a Republican elephant, har har.
“She simply would not be where she is if she didn’t drive old Republican white guys like Barnes and Kristol and the delegates to the last Republican convention into a mortifyingly transparent state of sexual frenzy.

not that sarah – thanks for the link, I am saving that site to keep informed about my OWN state for a change! I had no idea about Bishop and am upset. I sent an email to him and am sending the link to the site to others. Again, thank you so much.
samper – hope you sent an email to Bishop, his message is apalling! The people deserve better representation that that. He has the opportunity to encourage peaceful discussion and chooses to promote angry mobs???!!!! What a disappointment (to put it mildly). So bummed )o:
Missed the party, though I continue to party with you in spirit.
I sent donations to both sites a few days ago. I go with you in spirit and stand with you, come what may. There is no geographical distance and there are no barriers to our connectedness when we are about the same work. Mudpups everywhere have your back – and your front and sides too! The two of you are unbeatable – so go for it and have fun doing so! And don’t forget to write. We’ll keep a light in the window. Much love. S.
“Political porn star”– exactly. I used to call her “Patriarchal Barbie”, which was a nicer way of saying that — and frankly, not nearly as satisfying or on the nose as “political porn star”.
I could go on and on about this topic — esp being a young woman who worked in the public and worked hard to overcome the exact thing Palin deliberately exploits…but it’s Sunday so I’ll try to focus on good things today. Suffice it to say that I found her open toed red sandals, glittery toe-nails and short skirts on podiums and stages (anyone who has ever worked on stages knows better than to do this, unless they are deliberately enticing the press and public to take Paris Hilton style shots up their skirts) appallingly Pole-Danceresque.
And the Republicans who champion her? Big Daddies whose egos are so easily manipulated by a wink.
@Samper and Michigander– u are so welcome! I care deeply about that gorgeous state, and the rough financial times she’s fallen upon. But no one should underestimate the strength of MIchiganders….They will pull through this, and hopefully green jobs will come to help replace some of the lost auto industry jobs. I just hate to think of this tough time being used to turn the state red again:-(
ps @samper — have u checked into Amtrack? I used to travel for work a lot and often used Amtrack to get from PA to CHI and DET…I know the Det station shut down, but the A2 one is still open I think. I used to love riding the train thru’ that gorgeous countryside:-)
Wow, great comments, I am starting to really like you Alaskans. I always said that Palin would get the ‘boner vote’. So many men were commenting on how she looked and then she would wear strange clothing, i.e. short skirts and open-toed shoes. I didn’t see any other female candidates for anything wear clothes like that.Did no one advise her properly or was this the ‘plan’?
Now the federal government has to step in and stop Palin ‘from killing old people’. Over 200 died on her watch! Why isn’t the media reporting this?
Good morning all! Great party last night (a little too great…trying hard to battle hangover, may have to resort to hair of dog, but which one?!)
I am going hiking w/fellow mudpup Rubber Room Hotel this afternoon. Can’t wait….I wonder what we’ll talk about!!
Thanks for inviting us to the party AKM. PetDad and I love our Saturday nights on the deck gathered round the laptop blogging and chatting and listening to Shannyn. It’s a PetFamily tradition now!
I’m going to blame Samper for all of my Sunday morning hangovers though, she’s really hard to keep up with and I think I’m going to stop trying!
samper — the secret is to go to a very nice department story lady lingerie department and asked to be fitted. and i recommend spending a minimum of $50. k
SP has a knack of instilling fear to get the most attention out of her ignorant comments. The death panel statement is childish, and a real humanitarian who wants to contribute towards the health access debate is going to provide clean honest solutions without any fear-mongering theatrics.
SP and conservatives who incite these untruths for the pleasure of scaring the elderly, have no respect for people. SP has no solutions, no vision, all this hot air balloon has is tricks and hype. I hope she keeps tweeting, because what issues from her heart isn’t that pretty, and people will finally see the light.
Samper, I’m a firm believer (no pun intended in the Playtex 18 hour line of bras. They make some really nice ones w/out underwire and while they are not the sexiest in the land, well, they work pretty well!
They’re the ones in the boxes, usually carried by most dept stores and places like Fred Meyer, Wal Mart, etc.
AKPetMom and Rubber Room Hotel – How cool that you 2 can get together, have a lovely afternoon!
Wish samper lived closer to me so we could get together easily. Especially now that I know that she is the cleaning Fairy – heh,heh,heh. Oh I am too funny for myself today (o:
Careful out there giving up your bra desires – the conservamob will end up making a direct correlation between bra desire and raw desire at your expense. They will lie to the public that you wearing no underwires is really raw desire to attract more Democratic Operatives to try beating them down. Donchya know that no underwires is proven to entice exactly those operatives. As for me, I cannot stand accused of the same, being an underwire girl
Careful now – this may be the next spin to hit Facebook.
I heard that this morning on MTP, Gingrich asked Palin, Romney and Huckabee to join him in supporting the next republican grass roots initiative…in an effort to prove conservatives mean what they say, he wants all seniors and vets to renounce medicare, social security and VA benefits. Gingrich says we have to walk the talk. When a befuddled Stephanopoulis said, really? Gingrich said yes, we have to show the left that we don’t need ANY government help. American seniors and vets are strong people, they’ll find a way to get along without these socialist services.
Seems to have been a great party last night. For all those with a hangover, I have my traditional Swiss medication, which we call a “rince cochon” = rinse the pig : 1 boiled potato, 1 fresh egg, 1 small glass of what you drank the previous evening (the 40° stuff) blend, add sparkly water and drink immediately.
Here in Ecuador, where I now, we use an Aloe Vera mix, made with fresh aloe very pulp. I have a garden full of it, and I also use it for burns, cuts, facial masks and rashes. Amaizing plant and easy to prepare. And it does wonders.
Tina – when I clicked that I got redirected to a site advisor warning from McAfee. I didn’t read the whole warning (I tend to panic) just shut down and came back here. I’m not computer savvy so don’t know if it was the site itself or someone/thing attaching itself to the site…
Anyway, I saw your comment about designated decoy on the party thread and was all excited to read the joke )o:
From the county where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this absolutely true story.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Paris, Tennessee. After last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk.
The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his truck and trailer and fall into it. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally, he got into the car and started the engine, switched the wipers on and off–it was a fine, dry summer night–, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons’ vehicles left. At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test. To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, ‘I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.’
‘I seriously doubt it’, said the truly proud Hillbilly. ‘Tonight I’m the designated decoy.’
Michigander: The same thing happened when I clicked on that site.
I just cant believe the ignorance and the stupidity of the ex-Guv. She has no health policy or plan and is just knocking the President’s health care reform, not because it isnt a good plan, but just to stay in the lime light and get attention. She does not care how insane she sounds. “Just look at me, Please”!! Yuk!!
I read a funny comment elsewhere:
“Allow private insurance companies to go national instead of just state wide. Competition would force improvements. A single-payer system will set us back decades.”
I’m all for getting set back decades…I had health insurance AND affordable healthcare back then. I have neither now.
Rahm Emanuel’s brother will not kill Sarah Palin’s baby. While this will require us to gut HR 3200 “America’s Health Choices and Murder Sarah Palin’s Baby Act of 2009,” we’re currently working with Henry Waxman to remove the extensive Sarah Palin’s baby-killing provisions from the final bill. While this will probably cost us Andrew Sullivan’s support, we recognize that this is a necessary sacrifice for securing broad bipartisan support of health care reform
Anyone interested in coming with ways to combat the Rethugs…their lies and current tactics of social discourse, please join me and Gramiam in chat tonight around 10pm. I’m tired of all this crap from the right and I don’t want to put up with it anymore.
It’s time to organize and let our voices by heard. Also, posted on Obama support thread in The Forum.
And now for an embarrassing story, was one of the last two people left in chat last night when Mibbits4179 came in saying she was AKM. Said she had forgotten how to log into chat using her real name. I didn’t believe this could be AKM seeing as how this was her web site and all, so we wouldn’t tell her. To make matters worse, the person I was chatting with bailed on me. Looked up and poof, she was gone. Won’t name any names..but thanks,Gramiam.
A few moments later AKM did actually log in, it had really been her. I felt like such a jerk. She had stopped to by to thank all of us for our support and to see if we had a good time. Chatted for a few and wished her well on her upcoming travels. I wish I could go to Pittsburgh, meet up but events have comspired to make that impossible…all you guys toss one back for me and all of us unable to attend. Depending on your mood, you could toss back one for all of us or you could do one for each of us. Have fun and pay no attention to your fellow bloggers crying in the corner.
Wes_Ben, Gingrich will have maybe 3 or 4 followers if that’s the route he wants to take. Seniors and Vets will not give up their benefits, unless of course they are paying for medical insurance already.
Palin is worried about healthcare reform killing her baby, but she is pro-gun.
Considering that innocent lives were lost this last week in that shooting spree, is seems like quite the contradition to be against healthcare reform (to save her babies life) but be supportive of more guns on the street.
I wonder how the mom’s who lost their children in that killing rampage feel?
Seems she doesn’t care that other mom’s lost their children to guns. Shameful.
@#72 UK Lady I especially loved this comment at your link:

A Day in the Life of a Conservative (1+ / 0-)
This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the national aeronautics and space administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US department of agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the food and drug administration.
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the national institute of standards and technology and the US naval observatory, I get into my national highway traffic safety administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the environmental protection agency, using legal tender issed by the federal reserve bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US postal service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the department of labor and the occupational safety and health administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to ny house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it’s valuables thanks to the local police department.
I then log on to the internet which was developed by the defense advanced research projects administration and post on freerepublic.com and fox news forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right.

In case you missed it on the last open thread – I found this article and thought it was worth sharing -
A Response to Sarah Palin’s “Death Panel” Comment from a Parent of a Child with Special Needs
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Snos, the article you posted in answer to Quittypants was eloquent and touching and right on target!! It exposes the unlamented ex governor for the selfish,opportunistic thug she really is.
Has Gingrich gone insane? Did his Geritol get spiked with Palin Koolaid? Or has he become a secret mole for the DNC?
He’s asking Vets and Seniors to give up their healthcare? Really? And he thinks that they’ll do it? Really? And this sacrifice is to show solidarity with the principals for the Republican Party? Really? Because the GOP is so caring of the health and well-being of Vets, the elderly, the infirm and children.
Well, in that respect, it is consistent with the new GOP. They want everyone to pay their own way, no matter the resulting death by starvation, lack of heat in a Buffalo, N.Y. winter or denial of healthcare. They have no problems with Vets living on the street and begging for food. And I’m sure they’d be happy to cut off all Federal funding to Emergency Rooms (you know, the Republican Universal Healthcare Plan.)
Yah, Newt. You go for it. (You weren’t thinking you’d be considered for the R ticket in 2012, were you? Well, kiss that goodbye.)
OMG ~ that is awesome! Thank ya’ll so much for sharing!
I’m definitely sending that to my ‘horrified-at-daughter’s-lefty_leanings’ Republican ole’ timey Southern Belle mother.
Mother did hush about SWWNBN (she who will not be named) when i sent her to http://tinyurl.com/shocked-doc. All she said about it was “I’m confused” and “I hate learning how to email”, and then nary another word about you-know-who [grin].
From a mans point of view, I can honestly relate to the obvious sexism of Saracuda. It is, as said here, an elephant in the room. All the talk on this thread about wire-vs-nonwire has made me want to reaffirm my masculinity! While searching for the pic of the infamous ‘Red Monkeys’ at foot level on stage, with the two teenaged boys gazing longingly to help illustrate that point, I can across this gem. Sexist? You betcha! But quite the illustration of the point. A republican dress-up Barbie for all the old guard to enjoy. Bachman is one as well… right up until she opens her mouth and speaks. Ever seen the video of her trying to get a smootch from GWB? Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!

Palin accused of attempted bribery
Motion to amend says new evidence shows bribery
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who left office in disgrace July 26th under a cloud of ethics charges, is now being accused of a federal claim of attemped bribery. See federal claim (PDF 52 kb)
To clarify a previous complaint, the motion also accuses Palin of a violation of Alaska’s constitution.
From the motion to amend:
“2.Plaintiffs wish to add a very serious federal claim of attempted bribery and other violations of similar federal and state statutes under supplemental jurisdiction….
….offering state funds and support of legislation to third parties in exchange for them convincing Plaintiffs to drop this lawsuit in federal or state court.”
Palin has had 21 ethics complaints filed against her, two of which she has been found guilty, three are still pending. One of those involves the Alaska Fund Trust set up by Palin and her friends to fend off ethics compalints. Palin has claimed she has over $600,000 in legal bills from these complaints, documents so far have shown only $120,000 in bills.
Interesting, and sad, news re: Artic Ice…it’s melting!. Guess another SP “truth” is being proved false. Article specifically mentions Beaufort Sea area of N. Alaska…
Michiganer and califpat. I have Web of Trust and it rates the site with the jokes as excellent. I then ran a scan just to make sure and no malware or virus activity. Sounds like McAfee hiccuped. It used to do that to me all the time so I uninstalled it and got other software. No problems since then.

Aaah, Bahstinboyo, as a long time feminist who always loved sexy silk underware, I always enjoy a good ol’ sexist joke, the same way I enjoy a good ol’ Polish joke, as I find my origins in the Pennsylvania coal mining regions. Thanks for the link, had a good laugh.

Can’t imagine Gingrich calling Medicare and Social Security ‘socialist services’ and can’t find video of Gingrich saying this on MTP or TWiW. Can you provide a link to what you heard?

John, this is terrifying! Who was it that said,”Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
HOW TO HELP OBAMA: We ALL need to attend every town hall meeting that we can this month. The media, our leaders, and our President need to see that the majority of us want a national health care plan. So far, the media has focused on the screaming disrupters. We need to outnumber them HUGELY so the media can focus on us. If we do not show up, we will regret it later; it will be seen as apathy. Showing up at your local town hall meetings will show support for our President and his plan. PLEASE GO!
I have just started searching the web for info on the 1930′s and a right-wing oposition to the New Deal, wondering if we are not in the same environment. Anybody have any good links ?
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.” Sinclair Lewis, 1935 –Talk of foresight–
And here is one for $p, also from Sinclair Lewis ~1930
“in America most of us — not readers alone, but even writers — are still afraid of any literature which is not a glorification of everything American, a glorification of our faults as well as our virtues,”
Tamara – the 2nd quote is new to me – Very fitting.
I have a book around here somewhere that goes through the 5 or 6 main textbooks that are used in the US school system and refutes all of the stories that have been shoved in to our brains via rote learning, creating heroes and amazing legends out of founding fathers, war generals, presidents, etc. and holding America up as THE glorious nation. I think it’s called, “Lies My Teacher Taught Me”. Threw me for a loop at first but now I consider it one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given.
I’m sure AKM saw the funny side, and I’m also sure she was delighted to chat with you. Gramian will be kicking herself for bunking off, though I’m sure I would have gone all shy myself.
Hey, pearl, I left chat because I was falling asleep at the keyboard! Thanks for “outing” me pal! LOL! Sorry AKM but at 65 years of age, “Beauty Sleep” takes on a sense of urgency!
Reporting back from trip to tundra with dog and Rubber Room Hotel and her adorable furry companions…much fun was had in the mountains of Alaska and will post photos on my AKPetMom flickr as soon as return from mission to pick up pizza from Papa Johns.
Thanks, BuffaloGal, for the info. Reminds me of my Swiss school and the day I was told that William Tell was a myth (you know the guy with the arrow in the apple standing on his son’s head)
want a good laugh? this is hilarious
spoof Palin FB page and a gazillion followers believing it is the real deal
the person doing it is making her to be a real flake http://www.facebook.com/governor.palin?__a=1

I see Planned Parenthood on the organizations list. LOL – That should be a clue….
This, from Wendy on another forum I frequent regarding the hypocrisy of Rush Limbaugh. (Why hasn’t Jon Stewart called him out on this?)
“About five years ago, MoveOn.org held a campaign commercial contest. People were invited to make 30 and 60 second spots, and submit them to a compilation site for people to vote on. There were hundreds of entries to this contest; one of them made nazi comparisons.
The right wing hit the ceiling — how dare anybody compare an American president to nazis, it was beyond the pale that anybody should ever suggest any parallels, Rush Limbaugh (among others) demanded that Democrats in Congress be called to account for the fact that moveon had allowed the contest entry to be uploaded onto their server (it was disqualified from their contest and removed from the site within a couple of days, but that wasn’t good enough for Rush).
Right wing talk radio and blogs were in a lather about this for days; it was an Outrage! A Travesty! Outside the Realm of Acceptable Political Discourse! They demanded a congressional resolution condemning moveon.org, they demanded that congressional candidates reject donations from anybody who also donated to moveon.org. The mere existence of this 60-second bit by some random guy on the internet was proof that Democrats and liberals had no appreciation for rational civic engagement.”
Of course, now the shoe is on the other foot and the gander is getting sauced. Republicans have always had a problem with equality. Democrats can’t do it but Republicans can. Republicans have a right but Democrats do not.
I hope it all comes back to bite them in the voting booth. I know some registered Republicans that are simply disgusted with all of this.
I’ve called it Fascism (the Nazi’s were Fascists, not Socialists no matter what they labeled themselves) and I’ll continue to call it Fascism.
Hey Mudpups.
Just returned back to camper from a great day enjoying the beauty of Alaska.
Met AKPetMom and some of her family, altogether we had 6 very well behaved dogs. What a great day!
I hope Levi Johnston finds it in his little rebellious heart to start talkin’ about palin and her behind-closed-doors behavior and any info he might have been privy to…our America needs him to spill it! …the information could save the planet! Saw his pictures with Kathy Griffin and thought about how much he really must know…I hope he uses it for good.
It is all really going to happen! We have extended the RSVP deadline to FRIDAY AUGUST 14th for any last minute Mudpuppies on the SURGE!
We are now at around 32 coming in!
There is now a PRE-AKMudstock gathering scheduled for SATURDAY NIGHT AUGUST 15th for those in town by Saturday night! Details to be announced TOMORROW Monday during the day on the UPDATE thread!
Haven’t gone to bed yet. ABC news has come on. They are mentioning the Healthcare debate battle and how on the White House there are videos to dispute the various rumors out there and debunk them.
They mention Sarah’s Facebook page as one of them. They say Good Morning America tomorrow will do a ‘ fact check ‘ on these rumors. People may want to tune in. There may be some ‘ facts ‘ that they cover that may be relevant to those debates up there in Alaska.
Follow up with ABC News to see what they go over.
If Sarah was interested in joining the debate on healthcare reforem, she would be willing to be interviewed (with a real journalist) and defend her position.
But, she won’t because she is a coward.
She is hiding behind her ghostwriter and her facebook page.
You still up?! Well, off to bed real quick and loads of sweet dreams. Thanks for the party and fun.
In case you missed it on the last open thread – I found this article and thought it was worth sharing –
A Response to Sarah Palin’s “Death Panel” Comment from a Parent of a Child with Special Needs
In her column, today, Maureen Dowd of the NY Times writes about Gryphen and the disgraced, resigned former governor of Alaska.
The link to the article London Bridges mentioned –
Livin’ La Vida Loca
Thanks for the links, Snoskred. ( Dowd referring to Palin as demented – ha!) I double-dare sarah to enter into a public debate about health care. She’s oh so “bold” hiding behind facebook and a ghost writer who can put her crazy spew into something that resembles “coherent”. I want someone to call her crap OUT and don’t let up until she does.
If Jesus really is coming back I have a feeling that his first order of business is going to be a visit to buttercup to tell her to sit down and shut the freakin’ hayle up!
Good morning, all. Looks like I missed some great fun by leaving the party early last night. Also looks like everyone’s still sleeping in! “Meet the Press” is in its 2nd half and I don’t see any of my Sunday news mudpups.
Bloomberg is on this morning and I have to say, I like the guy. I actually enjoy listening to him.
Round table is coming up and they’ll be talking health care and the uproar.
Has “SHE” shut up yet?
lynnrockets: Missed you at the party last night. “Detroit Breakdown” was playing while Shannyn and AKM did the limbo. They can “go” pretty darn “low”!
And, no. “SHE” hasn’t shut tf up yet. She may never do so.
Come to think of it… where is the Quitter? I hope she’s not extending her stay in NYC, thereby creating a chance to run into S & AKM!
Hi LynnR- So far this morning, nothing new on Facebook. I read through some of the “learnin’ links” she put up there yesterday and they’re all “opinions” and not researched articles.
“This Week” is on now. Howard Dean and Gingrich are on today and sitting next to each other. Looks weird! Should be interesting as they cover health care.
Hey Samper – I left too early last night but I did get a good sleep!
Is Howard Dean working out ?? He looks like he’s lost a lot of weight. He thinks that all the yelling is just typical GOP business as usual. Gingrich thinks there’s nothing wrong with all the yelling and it’s part of democracy.
How can anyone think that angrily screaming at the top of your lungs is reasonable??
The latest rant from Alaska’s Village Idiot may be the best thing yet for health care reform- pointing out the opposition is the Idiot Fringe. Her “Death Panel” comments are being ridiculed nation wide, including Mike Litwin’s column in the Denver Post today.
It has been reported that of the thugs shouting “no government involvement in health care” half are on Medicare. Stupidity has become a religion in this country.
I figure that no more than 12% of Americans are completely crazy (the 20% who are Republicans, times the 60% of Republicans that are Birfers). They may scream, but that leaves 88% of us to get the job done.
Well, that was an odd read from Maureen Dowd. It would be worth about a C-in an English class.

Going to the Round table.

@ BigPete #17
Terrific comic. How appropriate.
@Donna- Thanks for sharing that. Palin is really depressing me.
I read some o the comments from the Fairbanks Daily News Miner, and was appalled at the many people actually defending her article!
.
Good morning, Alaska. The very same sun is just coming up over Russia here in Hawaii!
We’ve prepared some special musical pu-pu’s (not what it sounds like) for your aural delectation this week, in honor of your late great Governor, um… Sorry, forgot her name… and rednecks everywhere: Country roots music. Sorry, no Christian rock. We’re Satanists here in fake document land. If you need a birth certificate, just call. But hurry, before the Death Boards get us all!
.
sorry – me tired – clarification- they were defending Palin’s death panel statement.
With all of the voices weighing in on all sides of a health care debate, it is a sad that the MSM would pick up Sarah’s crazed comment– unless– it is a master stroke of reverse psychology. By repeating Sarah’s absurd death panel quote, they have picked something so horrific that it turns people against her and the other republicans who are trying to block health care reform. I never thought that the MSM could be so clever, so that’s the their plan.
lol…lynnrockets. I don’t have experience, but I’ll do my darndest. palin can be my first victim…I mean patient.
Come and join Twitter #TweetThePress to discuss healthcare and healthcare reform without shouting or giving crazy information that you might have gotten from you know who.
Blogger wrote that “Trig’s down syndrome” was a pre-existing condition therefore he will be unable to get health care under current systems. Although SP has paid gov’t health care..
Dean IS looking rather “buff” these days! Probably got away from all that pizza on the campaign trail! But I find that rapid weight loss in someone “of a certain age” tends to make them look a little older. Just me?
Yeah. Right. OK. I got it. Being disruptive, intrusive, divisive, loud, angry, inflammatory, disrespectful of others, threatening, violent in words and actions, ignorant, dishonest, etc. is all part of “democracy”. Newt is an idiot. Why isn’t SOME sane Republican (and I know there are SOME out there!) voicing opposition to this outrageous behavior? Would they tolerate it in their homes? I think NOT. Then we shouldn’t tolerate it at TOWN Hall (it takes a village and all that stuff) meetings!
The Founding Fathers are all rolling around in their graves (can you feel the earth moving?) thinking we have become the antithesis of their intentions. They would NEVER have behaved so badly, opposing position or not! They, I am quite sure, exercised the utmost in manners and decorum, even in disagreement. At least, I haven’t HEARD of fisticuffs going on at their meetings!
This is just ONE MORE REASON that if we can attend a TH Meeting, we do so with the utmost intelligence, FACT, calm and respect. We don’t want to lose our cool (our President is a great example of keeping cool!) and thereby diminish our message. Visit whitehouse.gov for clear, concise summaries of the points on the bill as it is being revised and hammered out. Speak calmly and in a normal speaking voice, with confidence. It’ll drive the crazies mad that we aren’t shouting back, giving them a platform to do likewise.
I’m still a little worried about Oregon Sue, who intends to attend a meeting WITH a sign. She hasn’t confirmed that she will NOT go alone into the fray. She needs to work the Buddy System, as do we all. Don’t go alone! You have no idea how riled up folks could get and how it could affect you. ESPECIALLY if you take a sign to voice a reasonable statement (which I wholeheartedly support). I happened to miss the one nearby, but am keeping my eyes open for another one before end of month. I plan to hire body guards, just like SP does! OK, I lied. I’ll take BF! And he will NOT like it, but I find that “withholding” (if you know what I mean) tends to persuade him to do that which he isn’t crazy about doing!
My toothbrush was picking up today’s message. I regret to inform the Commandant that I respectfully decline the invitation to be on the Death Panel. My mom wouldn’t like that and I don’t want Van Fleebag coming after me for killing Trig. He (fleabag) gives me the creeps and if I’m gonna have legal stuff going on, I don’t want him near me. Not even in the same courtroom. Blecccchhh!
Somehow, I missed the boat on this stuff:
Who are “BROWN” shirts?
What is “ASTROTURF” whatever?
I’ve seen the expressions, but can’t connect the dots.
Maybe because I drink a lot.
Well. missed the party. Looks like the folks up north really know how to do it. Did donate for the trip.

I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE the variations of pu pu’s with teryaki of any kind!!!! Miss those, and it’s not like I can’t make them here… it’s just that they aren’t the same as when eating them while enjoying the Kona Coast!
Aloha, bra!
Speaking of bras… How do you gals STAND underwires? They HURT! I’m giving up. I don’t care if gravity brings ‘em to my knees.
Polly- I lived in Fbks for 45 years, then moved to Washington. It doesn’t surprise me they are defending Shi//ypants, they love the free gov. money, as long as they don’t have to follow any FED rules. Remember SP and her no strings attached.!! Hell, they even argue over having roundabouts, or whether the cemetery looks like a garbage dump (which it does) but some like it that way, saying ” we don’t want to be like the lower 48.”
In Fbks. the saying is “if you want to live, you have to leave” I firmly believe my husband wouldn’t be alive today if we didn’t move for better medical services( heart problems and diabetes), that was 10 yrs. ago.
Yo all you Michiganders….did you hear? Republican Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop told WJR radio that he welcomes “an angry mob” turning against the Michigan governor.
http://progressmichigan.org/page/speakout/bishopsmob
Outrageous. Sorry I missed the party last night! Many good articles this AM, though. From HuffPo: “Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” (Matthew) Dowd cautioned conservatives to not go too far in pushing back against Obama’s agenda, lest they be blamed for actually preventing people from getting better health care coverage.”
Apparently, the message progressives should be getting out is that Republicans are preventing us from getting better health care coverage:-)
not that sarah: ARE YOU A MICHIGANDER? If so, planning to hit PA Mudstock? I’m still looking for a last minute car pool!!!
And do you know WHY he welcomes a “Mob”? Because he THINKS Jenny can’t handle it.
I can assure you. Jenny CAN handle it and she will do so with grace, decorum and even respect. And she will shoot them down. Kill ‘em with kindness, if you will.
I hope the R’s in my state don’t go to the extreme, but I have FULL FAITH AND CONFIDENCE in my Gov!
And I don’t even know how many kids she has or how old they are or ANYTHING!
I found a very interesting comment on TPM Muckraker. The commenter takes on $P’s self-exploitive sexual dimension in her political activities. It is a topic we rarely dare to mention for fear of appearing anti-feminist, jealous, dabasing etc. I find the comment to explain a lot of what I personally feel.
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/08/palin-obamas-death-panel-could-kill-my-down-syndrome-baby.php#comments
The commenter first uses the term “bimbo”, is trashed for it in following comments, and then goes on to explain :
“I used the terms advisedly and thus beg to disagree.
She simply would not be where she is if she didn’t drive old Republican white guys like Barnes and Kristol and the delegates to the last Republican convention into a mortifyingly transparent state of sexual frenzy. She has unashamedly used her looks as a shield to protect herself from the kind of scrutiny she most certainly would have received if she were a man, or an older, less attractive woman, who went babbling vapid yet incindiary nonsense the way she does.
Even Bachmann can form complete sentences and even intelligible, if demented, concepts.
The steady stream of culpably incindiary mendacity that comes from Palins’s mouth is nothing less than the political obscenity and the fact that it’s being spouted by what passes for a sex symbol among old rich white guys is why she came so terrifyingly close to the White House. She is nothing more, and nothing less, than an authoritarian political porn star.
If we’re not allowed to acknowledge, and frankly confront, the self-exploitive sexual dimension of Sarah Palin’s rise to power (such as it is) for fear of transgressing some self-imposed feminist speech code, her prominence on the national stage is thoroughly incomprehensible. If we can’t address that because it’s not politically correct, it’s impossible to accurately convey how she can simultaneously represent a grave danger to the nation and yet also be utterly and completely insignificant.”
I totally agree that the term “political porn star” defines $P perfectly, and is not used lightly or as a mere insult. It is an exact deffinition of her.
Glad to hear many speaking out on Palin’s DEATH PANEL comments. This from Howard Dean: (see video at CNN.com) This one titled “stop makin’ stuff up!”
Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told CNN Sunday that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had deliberately made up charges that the Obama administration’s health care bill would lead to euthanasia.
“About euthanasia, they’re just totally erroneous. She just made that up,” he said. “Just like the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ that she supposedly didn’t support.
EXCELLENT article above, posted by Tamara.

@samper, sadly, no, I don’t live in Michigan!!! I wish I could go to PA but work calls.
But I do love your governor and thought she was a great example of a beautiful, feminine, strong woman who stood up bravely for her constituents!!! A strong counterpoint to SP, I might add. I have a lot of friends in Michigan who keep me updated about what’s going on there. A beautiful state!
Tamara [#31] – I bookmarked that same comment!
What do we remember from David Letterman’s riffs? The “slutty flight attendant” phrase.
The sex-crazed-old-buck syndrome, so blindingly obvious, is the true elephant in the room when it comes to Palin. And it’s a Republican elephant, har har.
“She simply would not be where she is if she didn’t drive old Republican white guys like Barnes and Kristol and the delegates to the last Republican convention into a mortifyingly transparent state of sexual frenzy.

not that sarah – thanks for the link, I am saving that site to keep informed about my OWN state for a change! I had no idea about Bishop and am upset. I sent an email to him and am sending the link to the site to others. Again, thank you so much.
samper – hope you sent an email to Bishop, his message is apalling! The people deserve better representation that that. He has the opportunity to encourage peaceful discussion and chooses to promote angry mobs???!!!! What a disappointment (to put it mildly). So bummed )o:
Missed the party, though I continue to party with you in spirit.
I sent donations to both sites a few days ago. I go with you in spirit and stand with you, come what may. There is no geographical distance and there are no barriers to our connectedness when we are about the same work. Mudpups everywhere have your back – and your front and sides too! The two of you are unbeatable – so go for it and have fun doing so! And don’t forget to write. We’ll keep a light in the window. Much love. S.
Sarah: I just voiced my outrage. Thank you SO much for posting that link!!!!
Michigan may be down, but we are NOT so “out” that we need to resort to violence in the name of “discussion”.
Again, thanks!
“Political porn star”– exactly. I used to call her “Patriarchal Barbie”, which was a nicer way of saying that — and frankly, not nearly as satisfying or on the nose as “political porn star”.
I could go on and on about this topic — esp being a young woman who worked in the public and worked hard to overcome the exact thing Palin deliberately exploits…but it’s Sunday so I’ll try to focus on good things today. Suffice it to say that I found her open toed red sandals, glittery toe-nails and short skirts on podiums and stages (anyone who has ever worked on stages knows better than to do this, unless they are deliberately enticing the press and public to take Paris Hilton style shots up their skirts) appallingly Pole-Danceresque.
And the Republicans who champion her? Big Daddies whose egos are so easily manipulated by a wink.
@Samper and Michigander– u are so welcome! I care deeply about that gorgeous state, and the rough financial times she’s fallen upon. But no one should underestimate the strength of MIchiganders….They will pull through this, and hopefully green jobs will come to help replace some of the lost auto industry jobs. I just hate to think of this tough time being used to turn the state red again:-(
ps @samper — have u checked into Amtrack? I used to travel for work a lot and often used Amtrack to get from PA to CHI and DET…I know the Det station shut down, but the A2 one is still open I think. I used to love riding the train thru’ that gorgeous countryside:-)
Wow, great comments, I am starting to really like you Alaskans. I always said that Palin would get the ‘boner vote’. So many men were commenting on how she looked and then she would wear strange clothing, i.e. short skirts and open-toed shoes. I didn’t see any other female candidates for anything wear clothes like that.Did no one advise her properly or was this the ‘plan’?
Now the federal government has to step in and stop Palin ‘from killing old people’. Over 200 died on her watch! Why isn’t the media reporting this?
Good morning all! Great party last night (a little too great…trying hard to battle hangover, may have to resort to hair of dog, but which one?!)
I am going hiking w/fellow mudpup Rubber Room Hotel this afternoon. Can’t wait….I wonder what we’ll talk about!!
Thanks for inviting us to the party AKM. PetDad and I love our Saturday nights on the deck gathered round the laptop blogging and chatting and listening to Shannyn. It’s a PetFamily tradition now!
I’m going to blame Samper for all of my Sunday morning hangovers though, she’s really hard to keep up with and I think I’m going to stop trying!
samper — the secret is to go to a very nice department story lady lingerie department and asked to be fitted. and i recommend spending a minimum of $50. k
SP has a knack of instilling fear to get the most attention out of her ignorant comments. The death panel statement is childish, and a real humanitarian who wants to contribute towards the health access debate is going to provide clean honest solutions without any fear-mongering theatrics.
SP and conservatives who incite these untruths for the pleasure of scaring the elderly, have no respect for people. SP has no solutions, no vision, all this hot air balloon has is tricks and hype. I hope she keeps tweeting, because what issues from her heart isn’t that pretty, and people will finally see the light.
Samper, I’m a firm believer (no pun intended
in the Playtex 18 hour line of bras. They make some really nice ones w/out underwire and while they are not the sexiest in the land, well, they work pretty well!
They’re the ones in the boxes, usually carried by most dept stores and places like Fred Meyer, Wal Mart, etc.
So no to underwires!
AKPetMom and Rubber Room Hotel – How cool that you 2 can get together, have a lovely afternoon!
Wish samper lived closer to me so we could get together easily. Especially now that I know that she is the cleaning Fairy – heh,heh,heh. Oh I am too funny for myself today (o:
@ Samper & AKPetMom -
Careful out there giving up your bra desires – the conservamob will end up making a direct correlation between bra desire and raw desire at your expense. They will lie to the public that you wearing no underwires is really raw desire to attract more Democratic Operatives to try beating them down. Donchya know that no underwires is proven to entice exactly those operatives. As for me, I cannot stand accused of the same, being an underwire girl
Careful now – this may be the next spin to hit Facebook.

just when I thought my state senator couldn’t be more embarrassing:
McConnell: Dem Reaction To Town Halls Shows We’re Winning
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/09/mcconnell-dem-reaction-to_n_254918.html
sigh….
I heard that this morning on MTP, Gingrich asked Palin, Romney and Huckabee to join him in supporting the next republican grass roots initiative…in an effort to prove conservatives mean what they say, he wants all seniors and vets to renounce medicare, social security and VA benefits. Gingrich says we have to walk the talk. When a befuddled Stephanopoulis said, really? Gingrich said yes, we have to show the left that we don’t need ANY government help. American seniors and vets are strong people, they’ll find a way to get along without these socialist services.
Pass the word people!
I have to disagree with some of you. I find that underwires make good antenna and actually help my toothbrush reception.
Seems to have been a great party last night. For all those with a hangover, I have my traditional Swiss medication, which we call a “rince cochon” = rinse the pig : 1 boiled potato, 1 fresh egg, 1 small glass of what you drank the previous evening (the 40° stuff) blend, add sparkly water and drink immediately.
Here in Ecuador, where I now, we use an Aloe Vera mix, made with fresh aloe very pulp. I have a garden full of it, and I also use it for burns, cuts, facial masks and rashes. Amaizing plant and easy to prepare. And it does wonders.
yes, yes sandra…
i noticed that nighttime reception (sans underwire) is sketchy at best.
If you’re a spokesperson and gonna dress slutty, you better have the brains to back it up:

‘Betcha we could have our checks from President Obama sent via direct deposit through our underwires, also, too.
But, what will the guys do?
No hangover for me from last night’s jubilee! I was the Designated Decoy:
http://www.guy-sports.com/months/jokes_hillbilly_drunk.htm
Tina – when I clicked that I got redirected to a site advisor warning from McAfee. I didn’t read the whole warning (I tend to panic) just shut down and came back here. I’m not computer savvy so don’t know if it was the site itself or someone/thing attaching itself to the site…
Anyway, I saw your comment about designated decoy on the party thread and was all excited to read the joke )o:
From the link:
From the county where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this absolutely true story.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Paris, Tennessee. After last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk.
The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his truck and trailer and fall into it. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally, he got into the car and started the engine, switched the wipers on and off–it was a fine, dry summer night–, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons’ vehicles left. At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test. To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, ‘I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.’
‘I seriously doubt it’, said the truly proud Hillbilly. ‘Tonight I’m the designated decoy.’
Leaving to go meet Rubber Room Hotel for a drive over Hatcher Pass and a hike in the tundra!
Boots on the ground in Hatcher Pass, have camera, will take photos!
Michigander: The same thing happened when I clicked on that site.
I just cant believe the ignorance and the stupidity of the ex-Guv. She has no health policy or plan and is just knocking the President’s health care reform, not because it isnt a good plan, but just to stay in the lime light and get attention. She does not care how insane she sounds. “Just look at me, Please”!! Yuk!!
Sorry I missed the party. Not sorry I missed the hangover!
Can’t wait to get to Pittsburg! Anyone know how many of us will be gathered for lunch?
I read a funny comment elsewhere:
“Allow private insurance companies to go national instead of just state wide. Competition would force improvements. A single-payer system will set us back decades.”
I’m all for getting set back decades…I had health insurance AND affordable healthcare back then. I have neither now.
Designated Decoy, I’ll have to remember that one, must husband almost never drinks, so he’d be the perfect decoy. Now, if we can stay up until 2am…
Hi Paula – I think there are approx. 30 of us signed up for the Mudstock luncheon in Pittsburgh. I am so happy you are going – can’t wait to meet you!

Rahm Emanuel’s brother will not kill Sarah Palin’s baby. While this will require us to gut HR 3200 “America’s Health Choices and Murder Sarah Palin’s Baby Act of 2009,” we’re currently working with Henry Waxman to remove the extensive Sarah Palin’s baby-killing provisions from the final bill. While this will probably cost us Andrew Sullivan’s support, we recognize that this is a necessary sacrifice for securing broad bipartisan support of health care reform
Petmom: I wanna come visit!
Tina in Tenn, thanks! That is hilarious. And how thoughtful of you to help out our fellow mudpuppies – hahahaha!

Anyone interested in coming with ways to combat the Rethugs…their lies and current tactics of social discourse, please join me and Gramiam in chat tonight around 10pm. I’m tired of all this crap from the right and I don’t want to put up with it anymore.
It’s time to organize and let our voices by heard. Also, posted on Obama support thread in The Forum.
Thank you

And now for an embarrassing story, was one of the last two people left in chat last night when Mibbits4179 came in saying she was AKM. Said she had forgotten how to log into chat using her real name. I didn’t believe this could be AKM seeing as how this was her web site and all, so we wouldn’t tell her. To make matters worse, the person I was chatting with bailed on me. Looked up and poof, she was gone. Won’t name any names..but thanks,Gramiam.
A few moments later AKM did actually log in, it had really been her. I felt like such a jerk. She had stopped to by to thank all of us for our support and to see if we had a good time. Chatted for a few and wished her well on her upcoming travels. I wish I could go to Pittsburgh, meet up but events have comspired to make that impossible…all you guys toss one back for me and all of us unable to attend. Depending on your mood, you could toss back one for all of us or you could do one for each of us. Have fun and pay no attention to your fellow bloggers crying in the corner.
UK Lady – thanks for the dailykos story – sending it to my Dad. He will love it (o:
pearl89: what time zone is that 10 pm?
Wes_Ben, Gingrich will have maybe 3 or 4 followers if that’s the route he wants to take. Seniors and Vets will not give up their benefits, unless of course they are paying for medical insurance already.
Tina, as I recall the conversation in chat last night/this morning, that would be 10 pm ET

That is an hilarious story, would love to have seen AKM’s face when you didn’t believe her on her own blog
Palin is worried about healthcare reform killing her baby, but she is pro-gun.
Considering that innocent lives were lost this last week in that shooting spree, is seems like quite the contradition to be against healthcare reform (to save her babies life) but be supportive of more guns on the street.
I wonder how the mom’s who lost their children in that killing rampage feel?
Seems she doesn’t care that other mom’s lost their children to guns. Shameful.
@#72 UK Lady I especially loved this comment at your link:

A Day in the Life of a Conservative (1+ / 0-)
This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the national aeronautics and space administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US department of agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the food and drug administration.
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the national institute of standards and technology and the US naval observatory, I get into my national highway traffic safety administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the environmental protection agency, using legal tender issed by the federal reserve bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US postal service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the department of labor and the occupational safety and health administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to ny house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it’s valuables thanks to the local police department.
I then log on to the internet which was developed by the defense advanced research projects administration and post on freerepublic.com and fox news forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right.

In case you missed it on the last open thread – I found this article and thought it was worth sharing -
A Response to Sarah Palin’s “Death Panel” Comment from a Parent of a Child with Special Needs
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Snos, the article you posted in answer to Quittypants was eloquent and touching and right on target!! It exposes the unlamented ex governor for the selfish,opportunistic thug she really is.
Has Gingrich gone insane? Did his Geritol get spiked with Palin Koolaid? Or has he become a secret mole for the DNC?
He’s asking Vets and Seniors to give up their healthcare? Really? And he thinks that they’ll do it? Really? And this sacrifice is to show solidarity with the principals for the Republican Party? Really? Because the GOP is so caring of the health and well-being of Vets, the elderly, the infirm and children.
Well, in that respect, it is consistent with the new GOP. They want everyone to pay their own way, no matter the resulting death by starvation, lack of heat in a Buffalo, N.Y. winter or denial of healthcare. They have no problems with Vets living on the street and begging for food. And I’m sure they’d be happy to cut off all Federal funding to Emergency Rooms (you know, the Republican Universal Healthcare Plan.)
Yah, Newt. You go for it. (You weren’t thinking you’d be considered for the R ticket in 2012, were you? Well, kiss that goodbye.)

From a mans point of view, I can honestly relate to the obvious sexism of Saracuda. It is, as said here, an elephant in the room. All the talk on this thread about wire-vs-nonwire has made me want to reaffirm my masculinity! While searching for the pic of the infamous ‘Red Monkeys’ at foot level on stage, with the two teenaged boys gazing longingly to help illustrate that point, I can across this gem. Sexist? You betcha! But quite the illustration of the point. A republican dress-up Barbie for all the old guard to enjoy. Bachman is one as well… right up until she opens her mouth and speaks. Ever seen the video of her trying to get a smootch from GWB? Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!

Palin accused of attempted bribery
Motion to amend says new evidence shows bribery
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who left office in disgrace July 26th under a cloud of ethics charges, is now being accused of a federal claim of attemped bribery. See federal claim (PDF 52 kb)
To clarify a previous complaint, the motion also accuses Palin of a violation of Alaska’s constitution.
From the motion to amend:
“2.Plaintiffs wish to add a very serious federal claim of attempted bribery and other violations of similar federal and state statutes under supplemental jurisdiction….
….offering state funds and support of legislation to third parties in exchange for them convincing Plaintiffs to drop this lawsuit in federal or state court.”
Palin has had 21 ethics complaints filed against her, two of which she has been found guilty, three are still pending. One of those involves the Alaska Fund Trust set up by Palin and her friends to fend off ethics compalints. Palin has claimed she has over $600,000 in legal bills from these complaints, documents so far have shown only $120,000 in bills.

Interesting, and sad, news re: Artic Ice…it’s melting!. Guess another SP “truth” is being proved false. Article specifically mentions Beaufort Sea area of N. Alaska…

Michiganer and califpat. I have Web of Trust and it rates the site with the jokes as excellent. I then ran a scan just to make sure and no malware or virus activity. Sounds like McAfee hiccuped. It used to do that to me all the time so I uninstalled it and got other software. No problems since then.

justafarmer – do you see the Sunday Lexington Herald? If so, the John Barber editorial cartoon on the letters page gets Bunning, McConnell, and Trey. Ugh.
John – That is one scary read. Going to go out and look for some sand to bury my poor head in.

Are you just indulging in wishful thinking? I’m confused with your post. MTP is not with Stephanopoulos – he’s on This Week in Washington. MTP has David Gregory. Can’t imagine Gingrich calling Medicare and Social Security ‘socialist services’ and can’t find video of Gingrich saying this on MTP or TWiW. Can you provide a link to what you heard?

HOW TO HELP OBAMA: We ALL need to attend every town hall meeting that we can this month. The media, our leaders, and our President need to see that the majority of us want a national health care plan. So far, the media has focused on the screaming disrupters. We need to outnumber them HUGELY so the media can focus on us. If we do not show up, we will regret it later; it will be seen as apathy. Showing up at your local town hall meetings will show support for our President and his plan. PLEASE GO!

I have just started searching the web for info on the 1930′s and a right-wing oposition to the New Deal, wondering if we are not in the same environment. Anybody have any good links ?
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.” Sinclair Lewis, 1935 –Talk of foresight–
And here is one for $p, also from Sinclair Lewis ~1930
“in America most of us — not readers alone, but even writers — are still afraid of any literature which is not a glorification of everything American, a glorification of our faults as well as our virtues,”
Forty Watt…thank you for providing the link to my rant this morning. I don’t think I’ve ever typed so much in a web post before.
Tina in Tenn…10pm EST
To UKLady…I don’t think AKM’s face could have been nearly as red as mine when the 10watt bulb in my head went off and I realized it was really her.
Tamara – the 2nd quote is new to me – Very fitting.
I have a book around here somewhere that goes through the 5 or 6 main textbooks that are used in the US school system and refutes all of the stories that have been shoved in to our brains via rote learning, creating heroes and amazing legends out of founding fathers, war generals, presidents, etc. and holding America up as THE glorious nation. I think it’s called, “Lies My Teacher Taught Me”. Threw me for a loop at first but now I consider it one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever been given.
pearl89 – tee hee. These things do happen. The only thing you can do is laugh and laugh loudly and boldly.

I’m sure AKM saw the funny side, and I’m also sure she was delighted to chat with you. Gramian will be kicking herself for bunking off, though I’m sure I would have gone all shy myself.
Hey, pearl, I left chat because I was falling asleep at the keyboard! Thanks for “outing” me pal! LOL! Sorry AKM but at 65 years of age, “Beauty Sleep” takes on a sense of urgency!
BTW, I have been busy digging up stuff on non-violence. Hey, it worked for MLK and Gandhi!

I see Planned Parenthood on the organizations list. LOL – That should be a clue….
This, from Wendy on another forum I frequent regarding the hypocrisy of Rush Limbaugh. (Why hasn’t Jon Stewart called him out on this?)
“About five years ago, MoveOn.org held a campaign commercial contest. People were invited to make 30 and 60 second spots, and submit them to a compilation site for people to vote on. There were hundreds of entries to this contest; one of them made nazi comparisons.
The right wing hit the ceiling — how dare anybody compare an American president to nazis, it was beyond the pale that anybody should ever suggest any parallels, Rush Limbaugh (among others) demanded that Democrats in Congress be called to account for the fact that moveon had allowed the contest entry to be uploaded onto their server (it was disqualified from their contest and removed from the site within a couple of days, but that wasn’t good enough for Rush).
Right wing talk radio and blogs were in a lather about this for days; it was an Outrage! A Travesty! Outside the Realm of Acceptable Political Discourse! They demanded a congressional resolution condemning moveon.org, they demanded that congressional candidates reject donations from anybody who also donated to moveon.org. The mere existence of this 60-second bit by some random guy on the internet was proof that Democrats and liberals had no appreciation for rational civic engagement.”
Of course, now the shoe is on the other foot and the gander is getting sauced. Republicans have always had a problem with equality. Democrats can’t do it but Republicans can. Republicans have a right but Democrats do not.
I hope it all comes back to bite them in the voting booth. I know some registered Republicans that are simply disgusted with all of this.
I’ve called it Fascism (the Nazi’s were Fascists, not Socialists no matter what they labeled themselves) and I’ll continue to call it Fascism.
Pearl, what was I chopped liver? I was in there with you when AKM came in. I stuck my foot in my piehole as well.
Hey Mudpups.
Just returned back to camper from a great day enjoying the beauty of Alaska.
Met AKPetMom and some of her family, altogether we had 6 very well behaved dogs. What a great day!
Thanks AKPetMom for a great afternoon!

I hope Levi Johnston finds it in his little rebellious heart to start talkin’ about palin and her behind-closed-doors behavior and any info he might have been privy to…our America needs him to spill it! …the information could save the planet! Saw his pictures with Kathy Griffin and thought about how much he really must know…I hope he uses it for good.

Haven’t gone to bed yet. ABC news has come on. They are mentioning the Healthcare debate battle and how on the White House there are videos to dispute the various rumors out there and debunk them.
They mention Sarah’s Facebook page as one of them. They say Good Morning America tomorrow will do a ‘ fact check ‘ on these rumors. People may want to tune in. There may be some ‘ facts ‘ that they cover that may be relevant to those debates up there in Alaska.
Follow up with ABC News to see what they go over.
If Sarah was interested in joining the debate on healthcare reforem, she would be willing to be interviewed (with a real journalist) and defend her position.
But, she won’t because she is a coward.
She is hiding behind her ghostwriter and her facebook page.
SP’s brains and her uterus have both dried up.
Keith O totally and completely ripped into Sarah tonight on Countdown with a special comment on her Death Panel facebook article.
On my last post, sorry, I posted it on wrong open thread.
