Racist avatar? You decide

There is lots of denial about racism coming from the TEA Party supporters (which we KNOW Cheeseburger is).

I find this stereotypical avatar to demonstrate racist implications, not only directed at Hispanic people, but Obama's mixed race heritage as well.


How about other opinions? Am I being too sensitive?

I just wanted to save Cal Thomas' 7/31 post for later use...

"Some Republicans are salivating over Democratic spending and ethical lapses, but before they run on fiscal restraint and personal morality, they should remember such former and current colleagues named DeLay, Cunningham, Ney, Foley, Lewis, Burns, Stevens, Craig, Vitter, Miller and Renzi.


These — and others — were tainted by scandal while Republicans controlled both houses of Congress. There is an old disease in Washington called Potomac Fever.


When voters toss out one infected party and replace it with another that promises not to acquire the disease, the new guys also catch it."

I guess someone's laser needs adjustment.

You know, this is why we don't want to see laser weaponry. In the hands of the wrong person, a laser beam can scorch the earth instead of hitting a target.

A tough day for Red

Red went out of his way to insult me during the discussion about talking during live performances.

As I responded, he sounded as pubescent as a prom queen that got stood up by her date.

Whatever Red said while I was out on business didn't fly with The Olympian well.

His comments got the boot.

As the old folk song went...."when will they ever learn....when will they ever learn?"

Undoubtedly another sock!

The mission? Kill bad guys. No need to fret and "tic toc". You just asked like 6 minutes ago, sheesh!

I thinkl I know what you were trying to say so I'll answer thusly:

The Eastside Women's Clinic and "Planned Parenthood" are extremely convenient locations and as I understand, are able to dispense the "morning after" medication.

They're also far better locations should one need the services of professionals who are equipped to assist in any other services that a traumatized rape victim or someone facing an unwanted pregnancy would definitely need.

However none of the three locations referred to above will assist a woman with in vitro fertilization, even the one named "Planned Parenthood" who receives our tax dollars.

Sad situation

http://www.theolympian.com/2010/07/26/1316284/2-found-dead-in-forks-after-standoff.html

Some of you may know that my son just finished CORE training with the Washington State Corrections Department. It was a 6 1/2 week intensive training, 240 class hours, that provided him 16 college credits. I was proud that he was a chosen speaker for his class.

Unfortunately, this story is about one of his classmates, that just finished training and was about to start a new job at Clallam Bay (see the Peninsula Daily News online edition for details).

Despite suicide prevention and all of the other training, this man wasn't able to reach into his pocket and use that training for his personal issues.

A very sad story and a reminder that you need to walk away from domestic challenges, as opposed to taking matters into your own hands.

Luckily, my son is also a friend of Bill W and he came to me to talk and then contact all of his classmates, who had traded phone numbers, to set in motion a group therapy of sorts.

I love you, Son. I'm proud of your achievement and hope that your heart mends soon from the loss of your friend.

Another Fox nooz idiot


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
BY: David Bauder

NEW YORK – The aftermath of Megyn Kelly’s interview with a former Justice Department lawyer over a New Black Panther Party case has made her a hero and a villain.

The Fox News Channel host is a hero to fans who appreciate the time she has spent on a story about a nightstick-carrying New Black Panther Party member standing outside a 2008 polling place, wondering if it reflects an Obama administration inconsistency in pursuing civil rights cases.

But she’s a villain to critics who believe Kelly is promoting a dubious story given outsized attention because it could hurt a president unpopular with most of Fox’s viewers.

[snip]

Kelly followed the story so relentlessly that she perhaps goaded the Obama administration into its bungling of the Shirley Sherrod case, much like a baserunner dancing off third base who distracts a pitcher into a balk. ...

[snip]

... promotion, rather than politics, drives discussion of the New Black Panther case.

[snip]

It promotes, ultimately, Fox.

“This is a mistake that a lot of people make when they talk about Fox, where they think that a political agenda is the driving force,” said Paul Levinson, head of the journalism department at Fordham University. “They certainly have a political agenda, they being some of the commentators, but when you go up to (network owner) Rupert Murdoch, he’s a business person first.”

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Why Is Fox News' Megyn Kelly Obsessed With the New Black Panthers?

"Have you heard about the New Black Panther Party? No? Well, you must not be watching Fox News, which has spent the last week treating the fringe group as the greatest threat to democracy since... well, since health care reform. ..."

And this may be over the top...

Let's do the math, shall we???

First..there was Independent Voter...

Then he got banned..

Then came along "Band Member"

(Subverting his ban, and violating a commandment)

(Sidrat, meanwhile, has never been banned..)

Then came Joe..after IV's second banishment...

..(sidrat, meanwhile, has never been banned...)....

Then came ANOTHER Independendent voter....

(Sidrat, meanwhile, has never been banned...)

Then came Banjo Boy...

(Sidrat, meanwhile, has still never been banned...)

So, we have a straight man that has been banned 4 times (and counting)

..and a Gay man that has never been banned...

Todays Daily Truth.....

Straight men lie and cheat..

Gay men are moral and play by the rules...

The facts tell the story...

I want to be a rock star, and travel really far, and buy me a big expensive car.And make lots of money and find me a honey.And live in nice big house where it's sunny.With a pool and I'll be cool.I'll always have a gig cause I'll be big.I'll have parties and friends and places to go,The only problem is I play the banjo.I play the banjo.I'm a post Hee-Haw mover, a funkadelic punk-rock groover,A cross between Bela Fleck,And Eddie Vedder but better.I'll win a Grammy for the way I pick.I'll be an instrumental monster with tons of new licks,And all the babes will love me, sell-out shows,The only problem is I play the banjo.I play the banjo.(Chorus:)Well I play the banjo,Play the banjo,Play the banjo,I play the banjo.I play the banjo.(Repeat Chorus once.)I say hear me boys, here my rhyme,I'm picking on the banjo all the time.I say hear me boys, here my song,Picking on the banjo all day long.Pick.I'll buy a leer jet, and a limousine,And everywhere I go my fans will scream,"Hey banjo boy, we love you,I wish that we could all play the banjo too."And you'll see me on the tv talk show,With Dave and Conan and Jay Leno,The only problem is I play the banjo.(Repeat Chorus 3 times.)I play the banjo,Play the banjo,Play the banjo,I play the banjo.[Thanks to Brincker@localnet.com for lyrics]

I guess maintenance is out of the question anymore. Just like the state didn't dredge and maintain capitol lake, the city didn't maintain the boardwalk. I wonder how they are doing with the fleets of government vehicles.
If the pilings were bad - replacing them as needed would go a long way towards the boardwalk's longevity. I'm armchairing this article, but between traffic circles, a decaying boardwalk, the lake, off-ramp nightmares and on and on, I tend to question everything the government decides in this state. There are so many big-ticket boondoggles, that I look at everything they do with a Doubting Thomas attitude.

Glenn Beck Going Blind?


Now we have an honest-to-goodness doctor's opinion that it's true! LOLOL


His devoted following may be blinded by the hype, but Glenn Beck may actually be going blind.

The Fox News host said he is losing his sight, in a surprising admission while addressing a crowd in Salt Lake City on Saturday.

Beck, 46, revealed he’s been diagnosed with macular dystrophy, “a genetic eye disorder that can cause progressive vision loss.”

During his speech, Beck told the audience, “I can’t focus my eyes.”

“A couple of weeks ago I went to the doctor,” Beck explained, “and he said, ‘you have macular dystrophy,” to which Beck reportedly joked, “Is that the Jerry Lewis thing?”

He also quipped about his prognosis, saying the doctor told him, “You could go blind in the next year. Or … you might not.’”

Taking the opportunity to knock the health care reform while he was at it, Beck said, “I went to the best doctor I could find, while I could still go to the best doctor I can find.”

Beck made the announcement in front of roughly 6,000 people during a stop on his ‘American Revival’ tour.

It's the gender confusion issue that gets their knickers in a knot.Studying the entire Bible in context would settle the issue, but notin a way they would want to hear, so they rant on here about how bad Christians are, while siding up to the Muslims, who are taught to eliminate all infidels.A strange enigma, indeed.Read more: http://www.theolympian.com/2010/07/17/1307311/letters-to-the-editor-for-july.html#ixzz0tyDUQCDo

Pay to comment?

I stopped submitting LTEs years ago after having been harassed by a reader. So, if a newspaper thinks I'm going to allow my real identity to be associated with comments on articles, they have another think coming. Paying for the privilege of commenting is marginally more acceptable than the notion of real identity being required, and that isn't likely to happen either!

If either the O or the Trib contemplates requiring Real ID and payment, it needs to reconsider what the loss of eyeballs on the advertising will mean to its advertisers. Without commenters coming back again and again, their vaunted website page view numbers will drop into the toilet.

***************
Newspaper Wants Readers to Pay to Comment Earlier this year, the Sun Chronicle, a small Massachusetts-based newspaper, closed down comments on its website after discussions in the paper's comment section got out of hand. Now, in order to "encourage intelligent and meaningful conversation," all posters on the site will have to register with their full name, address, phone number, email and credit card number. Users will have to verify their identity by using their credit card to pay a one-time fee of $0.99 to activate their accounts. All comments will now include the full name and hometown of the commenter. ...
***************
Would You Pay To Leave “Intelligent And Meaningful Conversations” In Comments Section? ... when I read that a newspaper or blog site wants to charge for leaving comments, even when the amount is small, I become suspicious of the real motives behind the decision. Is it to control the comments or to increase revenues?

Need any more proof that "ULIE" is She-Who?

The She Beast, under any ID, never wants to provide "concrete examples", does she? That would mean WORK!

A remarkable comment from "glenn"


Amazingly, glenn posted a comment that wasn't totally snarky.... although I do suspect that he had his tongue in his cheek and fingers figuratively crossed when he typed the last phrase. (We should keep in mind for future reference, however, that he flat-out admitted not being "equiped [sic] to respond". LOL We will note that not being equipped has never stopped him before. [snort])

A seemingly nice person with something positive to say.......I'm not equiped to respond. I threw out all the good words and only kept the nasty stuff for meanies on the comments.
So, I'll give it a try .....uh......good for you lady.

Williams once again walking the talk



• Published July 12, 2010

State Rep. Brendan Williams continued his protest against furloughs today, sending the state treasurer $160 in cash and this pointed letter of explanation (http://media.theolympian.com/smedia/2010/07/12/15/Williams_letter_on_furloughs_0488_001.source.prod_affiliate.38.pdf). Williams said his $160 donation represents more than three times the lowest state rate paid for around-the-clock care for Medicaid clients who live in licensed boarding homes. The money might go into the state general fund, but the Treasurer's Office is reviewing the rules, spokesman Chris McGann said. Today marked the first of 10 furlough days that many state workers are taking in about 50 agencies, baords and commissions, saving about $38 million in the state's general fund and $35 million more in other accounts. Williams, an Olympia Democrat known for his liberal stands on behalf of workers, said his donation represented "one day of legislative salary."


He had opposed furloughs during the recent legislative session. But when it was clear he would lose that fight, he argued that fellow lawmakers should share in the budget pain they were asking workers to share. Williams proposed cutting a portion of lawmakers $90 per day expense allowance (http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/billdocs/2009-10/Pdf/Amendments/House/6503-S.E%20AMH%20WILL%20PRIN%20288.pdf) that goes on top of their $42,106 per year minimum salaries, but his amendment failed on a procedural motion to bring it up for a vote. "No one should be exempt from these cuts," Williams wrote to Treasurer James McIntire today. Williams added that lawmakers base salaries "are higher than the median household income in over half of Washington's counties. All but three (Grays Harbor, Mason and Pacific) of those twenty counties are represented exclusively by Republicans in the Legislature who have called for even greater budget cuts.'' In the end, Williams was unable to persuade his own Democratic majority that it should share in those cuts.

Are we supposed to forget his ethics violations?

**********************************

Although he’s been out of office for more than a decade, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich continues to talk politics at anyone who will listen and, every four years or so, considers running for president. Don’t think 2012 will be any different: Newt announced that he is considering a run, emboldened by the belief that Barack Obama “will replace Jimmy Carter as the worst president of modern times.”

Move over Sarah Palin, Newt is "serious."
Newt Gingrich said he is considering a run for president in 2012 and will make his final decision early next year.
"I've never been this serious," Gingrich told the AP. ...
