Friday Fun (Featuring More Ass Than Usual)
I mentioned somewhere that Fridays, ideally, are for fun. To which I would add "cheap an' easy", but that's neither here nor there. Oh, OK, maybe it is. Anyway, The Rude One, who obviously follows the Brain's every move, seems to agree with me.
Speaking as a married man, even a man on a diet can look at the menu, and most times the home cookin's better than the fancy French shit. I think Obama is well aware of that.
I kinda like the idea that there's a little boom-boom goin' on in the White House after eight years of silence in that regard. Sixteen if ya only count connubial whoopee...
Truth be told, it is a nice ass. Jailbait ass, yes, but a nice ass. And if the photo actually showed President Barack Obama checking out junior delegate ass at the G-8 summit, it might be worth a word or two. But it doesn't. It shows a frozen moment when Obama was turning his head. (Nicolas Sarkozy is another matter - that's a man scoping out la booty.)
The response of some on the right is an ejaculatory spray of spooge as if Matt Drudge just got a picture of Barack Obama getting a blumpkin from a tranny whore in the men's room of the Buenos Aires airport (or, for Drudge, "Tuesdays"). [...]
The point here, as ever with the conservative commentariat, is not that they're having fun. It's that it's fun about a lie. When we in Left Blogsylvania laughed our asses off at Bush's stupid facial expression when he couldn't open a Chinese door or when he massaged the shoulders of the leader of another country, it was because he actually did those things. (And, well, that motherfucker did look like a chimp.)
It's just kind of pathetic, this desperate attempt to mock Obama, as if catching him in a butt glance will mitigate the myriad sins of the Republicans. It's like seeing a limping frog trying to get to a quickly drying puddle.
However, if Obama had been checking her out, well, c'mon, can you blame him? Look at that ass.

"Eureka" is also fitting because it's California's state motto.
Two generations of Goodyear sightings have conditioned us to call it a blimp, but in truth the Eureka is a zeppelin. Whatever you call it, the world's largest airship - 15 feet longer than a Boeing 747 - launched its first full weekend of sightseeing flights over Monterey Bay last month.
Airship Ventures began flying over San Francisco Bay in November. The Eureka, which was built in Germany and is one of only three zeppelins in the world, berths at Moffett Field.

"America's favorite hottie milf ditzball politico moose-slashin' anti-choice anti-feminist destroyer of linear grammar "
Morford on Palin:
I don't know if 'adorable' is quite the right word, but who am I to argue with a word- and thoughtsmith like Morford?
And don't worry, Mark. She's not going anywhere. She quit to make money, just a career move - she has to go national because graft in Alaska is too slow. If she helps tank the Repug party the rest of the way, I'll say she deserves every goddam dime she can squeeze out of whatever it is she thinks she's got.
I know, I know, we all said we were entirely sick to death of you, Sarah, never wanted to hear another folksy, semi-coherent peep, were hugely grateful that you had mercifully receded like a perky red tide back up to the rural bucolic animal-skinned parts of podunk rusticville from whence you came. I know.
I know, good Sarah, we said all that. And oh dear God, we meant every word, too. No lie. We really, really meant it. Like you cannot believe. Really.
But now, something is amiss. Something feels, how do I say this, a little bit sad. Now that you've up and quit as America's favorite hottie milf ditzball politico moose-slashin' anti-choice anti-feminist destroyer of linear grammar, we feel adrift and lost, a nation without its favorite squeaky purple balloon.
No one ever imagined you'd step up to the mike and deliver one of the most barely coherent, side-steppin', nonsensical, what-the-hell-is-she-talking-about resignation speeches of all time, leaving your role as the right wing's most unlikely taste sensation to ... well, no one knows exactly who. Michele Bachmann? Trust me, Sarah, that flat-out nutbucket can't hold a candle to your winkin', smirkin', carefully manicured caricature of a smart female. Her ignorance and homophobia are far too literal and obvious. You were so much more fun, largely because no one can really understand a single word you say.
So now, we take it all back. I know, it's a bit humiliating to admit, but the nation needs you, Sarah.
Or, more specifically, liberals and Democrats need you, given the simply spectacular job you've done of helping drag the Republican party, if not further to the extremist nutball right, certainly much further down the ladder of intelligence, respect and viability, than even Bush could've dreamed. As long as you're serving as the GOP's hood ornament, and as long as Rush and O'Reilly and Glenn Beck are behind the wheel, the Republican party has not a single prayer of relevance and capability in the next two decades.
In other words, Sarah, the best the left can hope for is for the right's most extremist, silly or otherwise unhinged figureheads -- that's you, Sarah! -- to keep doing exactly what they're doing, shoving out the moderate voices of their own party in favor of wacky fanaticism and raging on about homosexuals and abortion and God, thus locking in Obama's second term and further guaranteeing their own delightful irrelevance.
Do you see, Sarah? We need you here, to keep doing your fine and upstanding and nonsensical work, keep making the right the adorable laughingstock of the world it has so very become.
I don't know if 'adorable' is quite the right word, but who am I to argue with a word- and thoughtsmith like Morford?
And don't worry, Mark. She's not going anywhere. She quit to make money, just a career move - she has to go national because graft in Alaska is too slow.

Dr. Fez:
... Mommy and Daddy pay off your mistress and her cuckolded husband. Now THAT'S the Republican way!
Do you realize ...
That probably more than one (just going by the odds*) advanced civilization is being destroyed?
*The Milky Way - the galaxy in which Earth and the Solar System is in a relative backwater - holds hundreds of millions of stars and is about a hundred thousand light years in diameter. It is home to at least one intelligent, advanced civilization (though that's a judgment call in my book). In four galaxies, there have to be two or three, unless you're of the belief that God created all this vastness just for us ... you know, the ones in the backwater of the Milky Way.

"McNamara's Damned"
We got this from a comment on this post and I thought it deserved to be seen by all:
Thanks, Chopvac.
This is stolen from elsewhere, not written by me:
"McNamara's Damned"
(to the tune of "McNamara's Band")
Oh! His name was McNamara,
Was the leader of the damned.
Although they lacked in morals,
Somehow got to rule the land.
Invaded disobedient puppets,
And hated freedom for all.
Thousands did not get funerals,
After they're shot against a wall.
Oh! The guns go bang, the innocents hang,
And the corpses blaze away;
McCarthyists pump like old buffoons
While politics they do play;
Fascist sadomasochists think torture's a hoot,
And constitutions they disband;
A detriment to democracy was McNamara's hand.

Mavericky moose-huntin' victimized...twit?
The Rude Pundit, obviously a regular reader of the Brain, expands on Fixer's post:
Shit, Moosebreath ain't a pimple on Rachael's ass. At least Rachael's cute and, lightweight TV cooking show/cookbook author/travel host that she knows she is, doesn't try to bullshit people into thinkin' she's something she's not, like Palin trying to convince people she's something besides another ignorant wingtarded white trash phony christian.
Palin? Honest? Not even when everybody commutes on flyin' pigs. Ain't happenin'.
Oh shit oh dear, I've victimized her...
Somewhere, you know the Clintons are laughing their asses off at Sarah Palin punking out of politics. And that'd be even as they shake their heads listening to bullshit pundit after bullshit pundit declare that poor Sarah Palin and her poor kids and her poor husband were treated oh-so-very cruelly by Katie Couric and the Bloggers.
Shit like this is on an endless loop on CNNMSNBCFox. It's pick and choose the most fucked-up stuff some commenter on Daily Kos wrote while insisting that the beleaguered Palins were treated worser than the worstest any family has ever been worstly treated in the history of worstness. Oh, and Tina Fey hurt her feelings.
Fuck them and fuck her. Sure, people are gonna say mean shit about her. Sure, Andrew Sullivan might get a bit obsessed over whether or not Trig's Palin's kid or not. And if a candidate preaches abstinence but her daughter gets knocked up before marriage? That'd be kind of relevant. But the mainstream media, for the most part, when it wasn't jacking off about how mavericky this moose-huntin' twit (Get an editor, RP. Shoulda been 'twat' - G) was, questioned whether or not Palin was smart enough or experienced enough to be vice-president. Hey, those are legitimate lines of inquiry, even if George W. Bush took them off the table for a few years.
And as for who's been treated worse?
Whether or not Bill and Hillary Clinton had Vince Foster murdered was discussed on mainstream news channels, not just dismissed as sheer madness. Elected Republicans made jokes about Chelsea Clinton's awkward adolescent looks. And when someone investigates Sarah Palin and talks about the shape of her vagina and how she sucks a dick, then we can even begin to talk about who is treated unfairly. It wasn't just some cranky-ass blogger. It was the way the national media functioned: as a nonstop Clinton attack machine. The Clintons fucking took it all, like Rocky against Apollo Creed, man, in Rocky II.
And all this shit was even before blogs existed. What kind of fucktarded shitstorm would have cycloned through the nutzoid right and the 24-hour news networks, desperately trying to fill time until the world ends, if blogs had been around? Oh, right, ask Barack and Michelle Obama about birth certificates, Bill Ayers, and secret Muslim terrorist agendas.
Palin got a taste of it, like a particularly intense amuse bouche. And, as the Rude Pundit said yesterday, if she were truly the honest person her plummeting number of supporters believe she is, she would have simply said last week that she couldn't take it anymore and everyone can kiss her ass. But, hey, maybe Rachael Ray needs some competition.
Shit, Moosebreath ain't a pimple on Rachael's ass. At least Rachael's cute and, lightweight TV cooking show/cookbook author/travel host that she knows she is, doesn't try to bullshit people into thinkin' she's something she's not, like Palin trying to convince people she's something besides another ignorant wingtarded white trash phony christian.

If President Obama Doesn't Achieve a Government Health Insurance Option, His Presidency May be Imperiled
Mark Karlin
Me 'n Mrs. G get Medicare next year. It's going to cost us about $15 Grand to get there. It hurts, but we can do it. We dare not let our COBRA lapse because at our age, anything can go wrong at any moment. Also, we're both motorcyclists and a rousing good broken leg can cost ten times that without insurance these days.
I think my point is that that's a lot of money for younger folks with kids who are just starting out in life with lotsa payments to make. If they don't get their insurance through their work, they're screwed whether they get sick or busted up or not. It's just too expensive.
I bring up my beer run metaphor once again: Everybody, even and maybe especially people who don't need much health care now, kicks in. Everybody gets the health care they need whenever they need it for life, and they will need it sometime. Socialized medicine? Sure, or maybe 'communal' as in 'shared' is a better word. Repugs don't like 'comm'-anything because it reminds them of communists and hippies whom they're scared of and don't like, and they ain't much for 'sharing' anything either, especially at a cost to profit.
Fuck them.
Maybe 'civilized medicine' is a better term.
By the way, I've always gotten my health insurance through Mrs. G's employment. The health care plan at most of the motorcycle shops I've worked at was to drag you out in the middle of the street and call 911. Given that most motorcycle mechanics with sudden onset medical problems are already lying in the middle of the street courtesy of some moron in a Buick, it wasn't really much of a chore for the shop staff. And since some citizen would usually call the cops to come arrest the scooter trash who was blocking traffic and get him outta the way of their important mall run, the shop guys didn't even have to make the call. The Service Manager was more worried about the customer's bike anyway. That they had to go deal with.
Mr. President, if those bastards are too much for you to handle, call a meeting of all the insurance and pharma people and their lobbyists and senators too. Have me and Fixer officiate at the meeting. We'll have single payer in ten minutes. Twenty minutes if there are TV cameras present because we'll have to be more gentle. You can get it through while they're all out cold. It'll only take that long because we'll want a smoke break. The 'rhetoric' will be pretty basic and I don't think it'll be much of a 'fight'.
Maybe, maybe not. The stoopids amongst us elected a court-appointed Epic Fail president pretty recently. They might re-elect an elected one too.
The Republicans and their corporate sponsors have long known that if a governnment option gets a toe-hold it could to lead to a fundamental re-alignment in which many of the middle and working class Americans that they have demagogued to hate their government come to see the very same governnment as a friend and savior of their health. This is what has happened in nations around the world that have national healthcare -- and a government option isn't even national healthcare, but it will be in time because once you take the profit and excess healthcare costs created by private health insurance out of the system, the default will be Medicare for everyone.

We knew Obama in Illinois. As anyone who reads BuzzFlash knows, we fiercely fought for him in the Democratic primary and the general election.
But we did not know that his desire not to alienate the D.C. villagers would lead to his capitulation on change and evolve it into an acceptance that he is not going to risk leadership with the audacity of fighting for what Americans need for their healthcare, and what will be most cost-effective. In short, Rahm Emanuel and others are telling him that the moneybags of the health insurance industry have too much power to be defeated by the President of the United States.
In the case of Barack Obama not taking the fight for the government option to the mat, we may be seeing a serious character flaw -- a man who can't distinguish between the raised expectations of fighting rhetoric and an actual fight.
Mr. President, if those bastards are too much for you to handle, call a meeting of all the insurance and pharma people and their lobbyists and senators too.

As our BuzzFlash columnist Phil Carpenter noted this morning, if President Obama doesn't get a bill with a full government health insurance option, he may not only have caved into the powers with the profiteering billions, he may have lost his re-election campaign.
Maybe, maybe not. The stoopids amongst us elected a court-appointed Epic Fail president pretty recently. They might re-elect an elected one too.

Shorter: Anything more complicated than the neocons' "We Have The God-Given Right To Rule The World By Any Means Necessary" message makes the highly-paid political analysts' heads hurt.
For those of you unfamiliar with the neoconservatives - or neocons, as they are often referred to - they're a clique of right-wing foreign policy ideologues who think the use of American military power is always justified under any circumstances. The endgame, as neocon Max Boot put it, is to have American troops occupy the "troubled lands" that "cry out for the sort of enlightened foreign administration once provided by self-confident Englishmen in jodhpurs and pith helmets."

Nightmare scenarios ...
Jill has a question:
The sphincter tightens thinking about it.
Can you imagine if the Republicans had the White House, the House of Representatives, and a 60-vote majority in the Senate?
The sphincter tightens thinking about it.
Sarah who?
No longer the darling of most of the GOP (but still going strong with the spank-your-monkey faction - "Ooh, I love rubber!"), her only career from here out will be as a fishwife (Rush Lintball's fishwife):
The Rethugs might be losers, but they sure don't want to be linked to a quitter.
New Jersey GOP gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie's campaign has no interest in help from Sarah Palin after the former vice presidential candidate stepped down as governor of Alaska, in part to help Republican candidates across the country.
...
Palin is getting a lukewarm response in Virginia, the other high-profile governor's race this year. Republican candidate Bob McDonnell said Tuesday his campaign had conversations with the Palin camp, but stopped short of saying whether he wanted her help.
...
The Rethugs might be losers, but they sure don't want to be linked to a quitter.
Great thanks to our pal Maru for the link.
Yeah, good thing ...
Hillary Clinton was never viciously persecuted like Sarah Palin:
Is that all Republicans do? Whine?
...
Has Palin been accused of murder? Have the charges been conclusively proven false by three separate special prosecutors to the tune of many millions of taxpayer dollars in investigations that last for years and personally cost her millions of dollars in legal fees? No? Then I think she needs to rethink her claims.
...
Is that all Republicans do? Whine?

Conyers Proposes, Rove Deposes
Raw Story
As long as we hear what he said used against him and others in court, I'll be happy.
Cheney's runnin' out the clock. He knows he'll die before any of the details of his crimes are used against him. Later this afternoon would be fine.
Former Bush White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove was deposed by lawyers for the House Judiciary Committee, Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) said in an interview Tuesday.
Rove’s deposition took place over a period of some eight and a half hours, beginning at 10 a.m. and ending around 6:30 p.m, ET — and the lawyers took several breaks, Conyers said.
Conyers wouldn’t say what Rove told investigators or whether Rove would appear before his committee again.
As long as we hear what he said used against him and others in court, I'll be happy.
Blogger Emptywheel, noted for her reporting on all things related to Plamegate, remarks, “Supposedly, there will be transcripts produced, Harriet and Karl will review them, and then we’ll all get our greedy little hands on them. Given that it’s summertime in our nation’s capital, it’ll take at least a few weeks for all that to transpire.”
“But we might get a Karl transcript before we get a Cheney interview,” Wheeler adds.

Pro-marijuana ad pushes pot as Calif. budget fix
AP. You can see the ad here. Caution: It's not at F** Noise, but it's their video.
We're payin' 'em anyway. Might as well be for something good.
Speaking as a product of, and booster for, vocational education - hear! hear!
An ad at the bottom of that article led me to this:
Other than being the most expensive bongs I ever heard of, what do you think of that?
We've come a long way from a Prince Albert can full of weed for $10, I think.
Folks can say whatever they want about how us Californians have fucked ourselves over financially with Prop 13 and our supermajority law and our demand for services all for utopian free and yada-yada, but if we get legalized marijuana, we won't even notice the blathering. Heh. The most serious problem will be the empty Sara Lee counter at the market.
A pro-marijuana group is launching another television bid to legalize pot in California — this time with the pitch that legalizing and taxing the drug could help solve the state's massive budget deficit.
The 30-second spot, airing Wednesday and paid for by the Marijuana Policy Project, features a retired 58-year-old state worker who says state leaders "are ignoring millions of Californians who want to pay taxes."
We're payin' 'em anyway. Might as well be for something good.
In a phone interview, Herndon said that before filming the ad, she had not told very many people about her marijuana use. But she said her concern over the state's fiscal crisis and her support of medical marijuana led her to go public.
"I came out of the closet with this ad," she said.
...
She said she was approached to star in the ad while her husband was taking classes at Oaksterdam University, an Oakland trade school that trains students to grow medical marijuana.

Why newspapers are dying
Professor Smartass in reaction to WaPo's hurriedly-backed-off-of-since-it-got-out offer of access to public officials for money, just one of the reasons we seldom like to link any more to the Neocon Post:
Obviously, being part of the ruling elite doesn't make you smart, only greedy.
It's not just newspapers. The 'financial/ruling elite' may be more dangerous than ever now that they've seen threats of a loss of power, however slight, with Obama and the Dems in the majority. They've circled the wagons and are doubling their efforts against us.
From a post by Thom Hartmann on a completely different aspect of the far right's war on us:
We will be fighting against this forever. We must.
Weymouth's hard-to-believe apology as well as the original idea for the event itself shows why newspapers and our democratic process are dying: the public is fed platitudes and PR spin to herd them toward pre-approved opinions while the real debate is going on behind closed doors between those who have the money to buy the outcome they want.
The original article shows one part of the problem is nepotism. Weymouth got her job not because she is the crème de la crème of journalists but because she is the grand-daughter of famed owner Katherine Graham. Owning the press no more makes you a competent publisher than being the first president Bush's son makes you a competent president.
Obviously, being part of the ruling elite doesn't make you smart, only greedy.
We need a new model of press, perhaps like the Guardian in the UK that is run like PBS & NPR here (but the Guardian doesn't have to beg for corporate donations). We should also fully fund PBS & NPR, so they aren't beholden to corporations and the foundations of the wealthy to stay in business.
If the presidency of George W. Bush, the Enron collapse, the theft of countless pensions, the attempted theft through privatization of Social Security, the banking crisis, our health insurance system that puts profits ahead of saving lives, and our on-going wars for oil and pipeline routes in the Middle East were not evidence enough, Katherine Weymouth provides further proof that the financial elite in this country is as morally and intellectually crippled as George W. Bush--and just as dangerous when their hands are on the levers of power.
It's not just newspapers. The 'financial/ruling elite' may be more dangerous than ever now that they've seen threats of a loss of power, however slight, with Obama and the Dems in the majority. They've circled the wagons and are doubling their efforts against us.
From a post by Thom Hartmann on a completely different aspect of the far right's war on us:
As the 1983 American Heritage Dictionary noted, fascism is: "A system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism."
Get ready.
We will be fighting against this forever. We must.
