Stan Obama and Oliver Axelrod "A Bit of a Buzzsaw, Ollie!"

Obama said, "folks in Washington are in a little bit of a frenzy" over Republican Scott Brown's election to the seat held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, which has ended the president's 60-seat supermajority in the chamber. But the president vowed to keep battling for health care reform, even as he bluntly conceded that he's facing major roadblocks.

"Now, we've gotten pretty far down the road, but I have to admit, we've run into a bit of a buzzsaw along the way," Obama said. "The long process of getting things done runs headlong into the special interests, their armies of lobbyists and partisan politics aimed at exploiting fears instead of getting things done."

Another, in a very long string of Fines Messes, Stanley! MMM; MMM; Mmm!

Arlen Specter Gives Rep. Michele Bachmann an Old Timey Beeotch! Beatdown

Now, Ms. Bachmann* - pay attention to me, Arlen Specter, 32nd Degree Knight of Columbus and U.S. Marshall Reserves. Young Lady, here's a few words of wisdom from a Man who crossed the aisle and crossed swords with John McCain in the U.S. Senate Gents - before they put in those girly self-contained urinal buckets!

Be Like Pa,

Not Like Sis

Lift the Lid,

When You Gotta Relieve Yourself !


My God Ms. Bachmann this is . . .19. . .19. . . is Thursday! Why only yesterday, I was telling Barry Goldwater, "Barry, Act like a Jew, for Christ's Sake!" Now, politics is all velocinators and hippomobiles. Senator Goldwater's favorite dysphemism was to ask for axle grease when he wanted butter. Am I making my self clear? Actually, that's the diuretic. Watch out now! Woah, Big Fella!!!! Goin' like firehose with no fireman!"

*

The exchange, broadcast on 1210 AM's Dom Giordano Show [but not archived on the station's site], began when Specter challenged Bachmann to articulate what, exactly, she stands for, according to a readout on the clash published by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's lively Early Returns blog.

Bachmann first laid out her agenda -- cutting taxes and killing President Obama's health reform bill -- at considerable length.

When Specter tried to counter, Bachmann, darling of the Tea Party movement, kept on talking, which didn't sit well with the one-time Philadelphia DA, who is a stickler for politeness and protocol.

"I'm going to treat you like a lady," Mr. Specter shot back. "Now act like one."

Ms. Bachmann replied, "I am a lady."

Things went on along this line for a while -- with Specter later asking Bachmann to "act like a lady," according to the PPG's Daniel Malloy.

Bachmann is hardly a beloved figure in Democratic circles. But how many liberal women, whom Specter badly needs to defeat front-running Paul Toomey, would appreciate being told to "act like a lady" by a male debate partner?

Medill's Mike Madigan Fishing Expedition - Asian Carp Not Good Enough?

The Tribune expends time, talent and treasure on targets.

They had four full-time 'investigators' on Mike Sheahan for years and coughed up a twenty minute toss of their work by a jury empanelled to make hay for the MacArthur Center for Justice in a BS - lawyer incited brutality beef at Cook County Jail.

Mike Madigan is "the target for Tonight!" Nice try, Cupcakes.

Mike Madigan sends more brain cells into the waters treated
by the Metro Water Reclamation District every day than the collective Intelligence of the entire Medill Scam Co-op can ever hope to Dream of possessing. ( Trib & etc.).

Mike Madigan is smart and smart requires a close attention to details - ethical, moral and legal.

As to the Tribune's latest BS Investigation - does not seem to be any There -there.

The Trib should toss the Cliff's Notes and read some books.

Public Schools are Closing for Underperformance -Hey, Buck Up! Big Shoulders Fund will Help! Send Your Kids To Catholic Schools

Chicago Teachers Union president Marilyn Stewart noted that two of the schools to undergo "turnaround" — Deneen Elementary and Gillespie Elementary — were just beginning a reform that linked teacher pay to student performance. Indeed, many have undergone past reforms. And the principal at Montefiore school, which is to receive students from the closing Las Casas Occupational High School, said she had not been told of any such transfers.

Today's Chicago Tribune:http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chicago/ct-met-0120-cps-school-closing-20100119,0,3559514.story



CTU's Marilyn Stewart 'has a smile that lights a room' - the Chicago Media used that fine thoughtful assessment on Under performing U.S. Senator Carol Mosely Braun. Remember? Well, all that "reform" exhausted millions of more tax-dollars and still the CPS school "under perform."

The Smile that Lights a Room Stewart pushed to unionize Ellison Charter School on the campus of Little Flower Catholic Church last year. Marilyn Stewart smiles and Chicago Public Education tanks deeper into the loam.

If you really care about your child's education, really, really, really care, send your child to Catholic Schools. It ain't free, but Catholic Schools do not "under perform" and save Illinois tax-payers billions of dollars.

Parents make a commitment for the education that they want for their children and many people will help them meet that commitment

Big Shoulders Fund has been helping Chicago inner city parents get their children a proper education.

The mission of the Big Shoulders Fund is to provide support to the Catholic schools in the neediest areas of inner-city Chicago. 100% of the funds raised by the Big Shoulders Fund are used to support children through scholarships, special education programs, instructional equipment, much needed school facility improvements, faculty support, and operating grants. The Big Shoulders Fund is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Your children will receive a Catholic Education - based on positive moral, ethical, civic and vocational values.

Catholic Schools Superintendent Sr. Mary Paul McCaughey welcomes Chicago's parents to choose Catholic Schools. Sr. Mary Paul tells Chicago parents to consider these facts:

VALUES, FAITH AND SERVICE
•The values and faith you teach your children at home are reinforced every day in our schools and in our co-curricular activities
•Through service for others, each student learns the value of being Christ to others and grows in gratitude for their many blessings
ACADEMICS
•With a comprehensive set of curriculum (Pre-Kindergarten – 12 th Grade) that meets all state regulations and guidelines, Catholic schools in Cook and Lake Counties compete with the best schools in the nation
•In 2007, seven of our schools were named No Child Left Behind–Blue Ribbon Schools representing the most from any school system in the nation
•Ninety-six percent of seniors who attend Catholic secondary schools graduate and 95% of those graduates go on to college
TECHNOLOGY
•Most of our schools are equipped with new computers, laptops, interactive white boards, and other cutting-edge technology
•Students are not just taught how to use the latest technology, but they are taught how to use technology as a tool for learning
•The Office of Professional Development in Educational Technology assists our teachers in integrating technology into their curriculum and instructional methods
A CARING, NURTURING, SAFE ENVIRONMENT
•The smaller size of our school communities ensures more personal attention to each student and that each student is known by name
•A disciplined atmosphere enables teachers to focus more time on teaching rather than maintaining order
A GOOD INVESTMENT
•The longer a student remains in an Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic School, the greater his or her achievement
•Our preschool and kindergarten classrooms are not just add-ons or separate programs. They are an integral part of the school community and considered an important part of the learning continuum
•The value of a Catholic education is well worth the cost. It is a life-long investment in your children’s future

Catholic Schools do not under perform.

Coming Soon! Sarah Palin – Scott Brown Ticket for 2012?

This will have the Marthas ( President Martha Obama, Martha Emanuel, Martha Axelrod, Martha Dean, Martha Pelosi, Martha Reid, Martha Olbermann, Martha Schultz & etc.)crying in their Mojitas!

Democratic National Committee - The Marthas of America

Everyone is blaming Martha Coakley for the Scott Brown Mass. Kicking of the Democratic National Committee - it is not Mrs. Coakley' Fault. The DNC ( George Soros Productions, General Electric, Hollywood Gueverras, SEIU, ACORN, ACLU Enterprises et. al.) are Martha.

Nationally, my Party, formerly the Democratic Party, has become the Marthas.

Last night, Howard Dean went all Martha on the voters on MSNBC - on MSNBC: “We’ve got to be tougher. I’ve said Democrats haven’t been tough enough…I don’t think this was a backlash on health care reform, I think it was a backlash on Washington.”

Oh, Martha!

The Mass. Kicking Begins!

“It’s like in Roman times, they’d be trotted out to the coliseum and the lions would be brought out,” Patrick Kennedy

Sounds like the Cub of the Lion of the Senate has a problem with them there voting Felines.


More Sissy Kitties, like the pampered Patrick Kennedy, in elected office -Democrat and Republican - might be hearing the rolled up newspapers:

Moderate Democrats have grown increasingly anxious over the past few months, watching nervously as Democratic incumbents in swing districts announced retirements, as one of their own switched parties, as Republicans scored some recruiting coups and as Democrats lost key gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey.

But nothing set the alarms bells ringing quite like Scott Brown's come-from-behind victory over Martha Coakley in Massachusetts — and with it the loss of not just Ted Kennedy's Senate seat but also their party's 60-vote supermajority in the upper chamber.

Scott Brown lit up the landscape with the soundest Mass. Kicking of everything wrong in American Political Life - Policy over Common Sense; Taxpayer Bludgeoning over Political Courage; Political Arrogance over Accountability.

This was the most significant election that I can recall. I have met many Scott Brown's and voted for a few - IL. Congressman Marty Russo, IL State Rep. Mary Flowers, Il State Senator Charles Chew, Cook County Sheriff Mike Sheahan, Metro. Water Reclamation District President Terry O'Brien,and Il. State Rep. Kevin Joyce.

These men and a very solid woman were and are elected officials who made and make a difference for people - not Policy Wizards or Editorial Boards.

The National Democratic Party has been enthralled by Academics, Old Time Radicals, Policy Wonks, and News Media Daffodils. Lately, Blogosphere Grassroot-niks have propelled elections behind huge cash pools as well.

Yesterday, voters in the Cradle of Liberty called a halt. The GOP is loaded with mopes as goofy and as gutless as endless parade of elected simpletons ( Weiner, Franks, Kirk, Schakowsky et. al. )that viewers will catch on MSNB, CNN and Fox cable at any time of the day. Here in Illinois, the GOP is almost a Democratic chameleon.

Congressman Mark Kirk,for example, is trying to run as Scott Brown - "I'm Naval Reserve; He's Army Reserve . . .and Yada, Yada!" However, Scott Brown did not and would not vote for the Waxman Markey Cap and Trade Bill!

The Mass. Kicking is Bi-Partisan! Let Mass. Kicking Continue Unchecked until the mopes who want our vote develop - Common Sense. Fill the Potholes! Spend Tax Dollars with Care! Protect our Country from Enemies -Foreign and Domestic!

Terry O'Brien and Supreme Court Defeat Eco-Fascists! SCOTUS Slaps Sierra Club Chicken Little-ers!

Terry O'Brien, as steward of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD), refused to listen to the Carp-ing of the Sierra Club and the Enviro -Nazis* who have chorused up to close the locks on the greatest engineering miracle in history.

Since 2006, Terry O'Brien and the MWRD has been saddled with Debra Shore. Mistress Shore generally seems to ignore the mission of the District and hobbies with Environmental Theology - which passes for "isn't she smart?" in Progressive Circles.

Debra Shore wants the course of the Chicago River reversed. You see human beings did not want cholera due to filthy water and waste and embarked upon the greatest engineering miracle in American History - reversing the flow of the Chicago River. Environmental Fascists hate anything that man has wrought. They don't have a hell of a lot of concern for what God has wrought, but that is another issue.


Debra Shore is the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District's resident goofball. Debra Shore questions the right of helots in the Greater Chicago District to have showers, flush toilets, and drink clean treated water much less operate barges or enjoy boating. For months Mistress Shore has placed poop-friendly passages of Green Theology on the pages of the laughable Huffington Post. Those delightful droppings of Enviro Fascist Theology argued that treating Chicago's drinking water was a shame.

In June of 2009, Mistress Shore offered this redaction of Enviro Theologian Thomas Berry who believed that earth is good and people are very, very, very bad -

The central challenge that (Thomas) Berry poses -- the "Great Work" remaining for us to do -- is to move from anthropocentrism to ecocentrism. In other words, to move from a world in which man dominates the Earth and natural resources exist primarily for us to use or abuse to a new paradigm of an Earth community in which we exist as stewards and caring kin with the rest of nature. Ecocentrism -- putting the Earth first -- recognizes that we are mutually dependent with all life systems on this home planet. Berry's vision was to establish "a new reciprocity of humans with the Earth and of humans with one another."

That, of course, was not the predominant ethic in 1889, when people treated rivers as places to dump our fecal matter. We did not view rivers and streams as living ecosystems worthy of our care. The principles of Berry's new Ecozoic Era are such that "any valid Progress must be progress of the entire life community, not progress of the human at the expense of the non-human members of the community."

I have been mulling over this question, What do we owe the river? The Chicago River -- manipulated, channelized, reconfigured -- has been called the artery running through the heart of the city. Do we have the vision, the will and the wherewithal to clean up this urban working river, making it safer for recreation, healthier and more beautiful? have been mulling over this question, What do we owe the river? The Chicago River -- manipulated, channelized, reconfigured -- has been called the artery running through the heart of the city. Do we have the vision, the will and the wherewithal to clean up this urban working river, making it safer for recreation, healthier and more beautiful?

This is not a simple question. And yet, are we not diminished as a people if we continue to treat our water as a waste product and our rivers as garbage dumps? Now we try to make amends. We are removing dams to encourage fish survival; reintroducing fire to enhance prairie habitat; re-seeding and restoring and engendering humility.

Those of us who have access to water from the Great Lakes -- through the accident of birth or the exercise of volition -- are enormously lucky we live near one of the world's great natural resources. As such, it is incumbent upon us to demonstrate wise stewardship of this precious, irreplaceable liquid asset, our fresh water. What, then, is our shared responsibility to the lake and to the river? Can we craft a future that meets human needs for an adequate supply of freshwater and those of the rest of nature? Can we demonstrate the restraint, respect and, yes, love, necessary to provide for the Hine's emerald dragonfly, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Hines and their offspring?

Mistres Shore's Eco Theology musings were hip-checked into the boards by the Asian Carp Invasion which needed no Theology.

CLOSE THE LOCKS!!! Environmental Foundations with boards of directors peopled by construction company CEO's, joined hands with Sierra Club Soul-Patched Loudmouths and the Attorney General of Michigan seeking a political dodge and petitioned the Supreme Court to CLOSE THE LOCKS AND SAVE THE EARTH!

Terry O'Brien, President of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District refused to be gulled let alone bullied by the Birkenstock Shod Activists and Corporate Opportunists.

The United States Supreme Court slapped down the idiotic suit.

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court refused Tuesday to order the closing of parts of a key Midwest waterway system to prevent Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes.

The court rejected a request by the state of Michigan for an injunction closing two navigation locks in the Chicago area, which the state said was necessary to protect the Great Lakes' $7 billion fishing and tourism industries from the carp threat.

Terry O'Brien is running for President of Cook County Board. Terry O'Brien as President of MWRD has saved Cook County taxpayers millions of dollars, because he listens to civil engineers who know about water management and water treatment.

Our Metropolitan Water Reclamation District is largely in very good hands - Debra shore notwithstanding.

Debra Shore will be around for more laughs.

* ECO- Fascism:

Spokesmen for such groups as the Society for Conservation Biology, The Wilderness Society, Defenders of Wildlife, and even members of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offer support for the general idea of the Wilderness Project. Peter Brussard from the University of Nevada at Reno believes that the Project "certainly is justifiable scientifically." Luckily, not all biologists accept that position; Deborah Jensen, a biologist with The Nature Conservancy, does not believe that the goal of conserving biodiversity requires such an approach as the Wilderness Project.

Yet even if those touting the Wilderness Project do not believe it possible to create such a massive preserve in one fell swoop, they may yet achieve their final goal piecemeal. Efforts are currently underway to set aside 139,000 square miles in the Great Plains for a buffalo sanctuary; the Paseo Pantera project seeks to connect wilderness areas in Central America; British Columbia is linking a new 4000 square mile park with Alaska and the Yukon Territory to create a 33,000 square mile preserve; Congress is considering setting aside 11,000 square miles in California; the Nevada Biodiversity Project seeks to set aside hundreds of square miles of mountains; and Noss recently received $150,000 from the Pew Charitable Funds to further planning for wildlands set-asides.

In response to this proposal, some people were rightfully outraged.*2 One woman from Nevada said that, "Proponents of the project are incredibly insensitive to the values, freedoms, and property rights of the many millions of people who live in and love" these lands. She characterized these ecologists as "an arrogant urban elite with a compulsion to live out their fantasy at our expense" (italics in original) -- which is a remarkably accurate description of statists of any stripe.

Another man from Arizona stated that this idea "illustrates all the absurd flaws in the ecocentric mind --...that balanced ecosystems don't include humans, (and) that government coercion can override human nature." Absurd, yes...but no more so than might describe the mind-sets of Marx or Lenin. Unfortunately, the "absurd flaws" of their political system did not prevent them from imposing it across a significant fraction of the globe over a seventy year time span. The idea of the Wilderness Project is still relatively new and controversial, yet its supporters may become powerful beyond any rational expectations.

Some of those advocates believe it is important to "halt the spread of nature's most dangerous predator and competitor"; that such lands should be cared for by people "who wish to restore themselves to a natural (i.e., tribal) state"; that "27 representatives" and "over 50 scientists also support the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act."

MSNBC Calls Brown Winner in Mass. - Olbermann, Maddow, and Schuester Begin Early Palination on Brown

I wondered if Brown might beat Marcia, er Martha Coakley in the race to fill the Kennedy Senate Seat warmed by a Camelot fanny since 1952 - the year of my birth.

Lo and behold, MSNBC began a 24 hour cycle of Palin-ating (personal calumny heaped on an obviously good person) - Bid Ed Schultz advocated the ACORN -ing of the election process; David "Fountain-mouth" Schuester called the voters of Massachusetts brain addled; Albino Flannelmouth Chris Milky Matthews misses Vote Buying; Fat Boy Keith Olbermann did his Special Edition and Rachel "Butch" Maddow did her snotty Advanced Placement Student smear on Scott Brown. Clearly, MSNBC - The Tool Shed is calling a Scott Brown Victory.

The absolute best was watching the Oil Can Harry Suited Lard Ass Olbermann hiss out this bon mot:


"In Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees."



MSNBC - is spitting out the last gobbets of hate. Adios Goofs! They pay these mopes?

Cheers "Marcia" Coakley! Kennedy Seat-head Patrick Kennedy Knows a Foetus from a Friend? Let's Start With Your Name Marcia . . er Martha.

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), speaking with a gaggle of reporters after the event, said that while state Sen. Scott Brown (R) offers voters a quick fix, in reality, the problems created by "George Bush and his cronies" are not so easily solved.
"If you think there's magic out there and things can be turned around overnight, then you would vote for someone who could promise you that, like Scott Brown," Kennedy said. "If you don't, if you know that it takes eight years for George Bush and his cronies to put our country into this hole ... then you know we have a lot of digging to do, but some work needs to be done and this president's in the process of doing it and we need to get Marcia Coakley to help him to do that."
(Curiously, Kennedy mentioned Coakley repeatedly during his remarks to reporters, each time referring to her as "Marcia," not "Martha.")
More Kennedy: "One thing the Democrats have done wrong? We haven't kept the focus on this disaster on the Republicans who brought it upon us. We've tried too hard to do that right thing, and that's to fix it, as opposed to spend more of our time and energy pointing the finger at who got us [here] in the first place."

MSNBC Ed Schultz - The Voice of Reform :"I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they are."

SCHULTZ (23:02): "I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I'd try to vote 10 times. I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to. Yeah, that's right. I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they are."

I worked with two old gents at Orchestra Hall in 1969- one a Ukrainian Red Army Vet of WWII and the the other a Polish Hussar who attacked Nazi tanks on his horse and armed with a lance. I walked in on an argument between the Slavic combatants - Stanislaus Stascowics replied to Roman, "Kiss My Ass! That's what you are!"

And then, I heard about the Progressive Hermann Goring on MSNBC ( The Tool Shed) giving Voice to Real Genuine Reform in the Massachusetts Senate Race -

Yeah, that's right. I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they are!

Ukranian Artist Oksanna Mas - Madonna Mosaic -in Easter Eggs

This morning's 8:30 A. M. Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church included John' Gospel account of the Miracle at Cana - Christ obeys his Mother's wish not to allow a young couple the embarrassment of running out of wine at their wedding feast.

Jesus asks his Mom - And Jesus said to her, "O woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come. His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

The Deal was done.

Great wine out of water and the young couple was saved an embarrassment.

Twelve years ago today, my beloved wife Mary went home to Christ and His Mother.

Our three children were raised by a notorious knucklehead and somehow became fine young people. God's Mother and Nora, Conor and Clare's mother have interceded for them for twelve years.

I pray the Memorare every morning and often throughout the day as well, Hell, I need all the intercessions I can get. I still manage to embarrass my kids; speak sharply to them; hurt their feelings and manage to make the poor things know that they have lost their dear mother.

Mary my wife and Mary my Intercessor - I am sorry for managing to make Eternity seem even longer with my folly.

A beautiful Ukranian artist Oksanna Mas has unveiled a stunning mosaic of the Madonna in painted wooden Easter eggs. I caught this story this morning after Mass.

Ukrainian artist Oksana Mas has created an unusual mosaic portrait of the Virgin Mary, using 15,000 painted Easter Eggs.

Unveiled yesterday, inside the gorgeous Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv, the giant mosaic weighs 2.5 tons and is made out of 15,000 wooden Easter Eggs. Oksana Mas started working on her masterpiece nine months ago, painting the eggs all by herself, but later children from all across the country got involved and helped out with the painting.

The Easter-egg portrait of the Virgin Mary, by Oksana Mas, measures 7×7 meters.

Your In-Nation! County Kerry Urination DUI Defense Still Steams Ahead

P - Stands for Paddy, I suppose. Click auld post title for a great song by Cara Dillon!

Ripped from the Pages of The Kerryman

By KEVIN HUGHES
Wednesday January 13 2010
KERRY drivers charged with drink driving can still be saved by the steam of their pee after challenge to a controversial district court decision failed in the High Court.

Mr Justice O'Neill struck out a State appeal concerning two drink driving cases heard in Killorglin District Court on November 13, 2008. Those cases had been thrown out by Judge James O'Connor who had ruled that steam inhaled from urine during a recommended 20 minute observation period may have adversely affected an intoxyliser reading.

The High Court appeal was struck out after Counsel for the State accepted that it could not present proof that the High Court had jurisdiction to deal with the appeals. The State now has no means of further appeal to the Supreme Court.

Defended by Killarney solicitor Pádraig O'Connell, the cases will have a knock-on effect on several similar cases currently pending in Kerry's district courts. It will also affect future procedure in district court area 17 with Judge O'Connor previously indicating that the High Court decision would become common policy.

John Kass Smotes Pat Robertson's Ass -inine Jeremiad

At minimum, once a week, John Kass goes Arepagetican* Greek on some creep.

- A Caliban of a corpulent cop marinated with Happy Cossack gets his booze Botox peeled back for ridicule after tossing a tiny Polish barmaid around while Blackberry armed cowards text the horror.
- An Entitled Patronage Poltroon pries pennies out the tax-payers to fill his swimming pool.
- A daffy Burgomeister wearing an Indiana Jones hat that makes him look like a toad stool with legs gums up the English Language while decrying the sorry state of student test scores

The parade of folly is longer than a Studs Terkel gush segment on WTTW.

Today, John Kass gives America's Brooks Brothers Elmer Gantry - Rev. Pat Robertson - a sound butt-gnawing over the Polecat Preacher Man's moronic exegesis on Haiti's horrible plague of woes.

Pat Robertson, a dedicated hypocrite of the Old School, sees God's Hand in the earthquake that killed tens of thousands of Haitians as recompense for Voodoo.

John Kass cuts to the quick of this slow-hearted opportunist.

It saddens me because Robertson's foolishness once again allows knee-jerk critics of Christianity to use his nonsense to paint countless Christian ministers and priests with the Robertson brush. But they're not in the angry smiting business. They're in the business of love and kindness, not hate and revenge.

I'm clearly no theologian. And the wrath of God against the sinners seems a common thread in the Old Testament.

But has Robertson forgotten about the New Testament, the new covenant, the one that's all about love and caring, even for the sinners?

Mr. Kass, give him one in the jewels before you move on - God told me to tell you that, John. Praise Jesus!

It's a dodge Clyde! The Rubes will eat up anything. Political manure that fertilized the Iron Chef America is what we smelled wafting from the kitchens.

BAM!

"Due to the production delay between the shoot at the White House and the shoot at Food Network, the produce used in Kitchen Stadium during the 'Super Chef Battle' was not actually from the White House garden," said Food Network spokeswoman Lisa Krueger in a statement to The Talk.

Instead, the chefs used replacement produce, though only the same types of fruits and vegetables picked from the White House garden.

Honey was the only ingredient that actually came from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The White House garden produce, Krueger said, was donated to a local pantry.

Birdseye frozen peas for me.

McCain Goats Palin: McCain Lost the Election Because He Quit

I went bollocks to the bulwark for John McCain starting in the Spring of 2007, through his summer of discontent, into the Primaries and all the way to the election of Barack Obama. Barack Obama ran a disciplined and masterful campaign and really wanted to win.

Barack Obama won the Presidency and John McCain quit the race on Sept 19th 2008. He quit on TV. He was being asked about the collapse of the American Economy, when all the Maverick wanted to talk about was "Service before Self."

Sarah Palin was fighting to win. John McCain, the man that Commies could not torture and make him go home early and abandon his Mates in the Hanoi Hilton, spit out the bit.

My daughter won the race in the 3rd Congressional District as a McCain Delegate. I wrote many articles and hundreds of Blog posts. I made Speeches for John McCain. Rang doorbells; stuffed mailboxes in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. I was glad to do so - until the last few days.

John McCain has allowed his Campaign to smear Sarah Palin.

If John McCain's Campaign ( Steve Schmidt et al) had done one tenth of the Black Bag work on Barack Obama that they have been doing on Sarah Palin and with one one thousandth of the energy - John McCain would have been POTUS.

Schmidt cited an ethics report on the then-Alaska governor from her home state on an investigation into whether she had improperly used her government position.

I read this in Politco.com the other day. McCain Campaign Manager Steve Schmidt ( a bald guy who puts his glasses on his forehead like he was William Kunstler - Hey, There's that Billy Ayers Magic! McCain tossed that one too.) is helping water-eyed Mark Halperin - a genuine weenie - sell is loathsome book. It is a tell-all Reality TV epic about the Campaign - I read some excerpts. Not much. This sparrow hearted turd Halperin is no Ted White, let me tell you.

Schmidt tossed out this crappy and gutless charge against Sarah Palin.

“She went out and said, you know, ‘This report completely exonerates me,’” Schmidt said. “And in fact, it — it didn’t. You know it’s the equivalent of saying down is up and up is down. It was provably, demonstrably untrue.”

That is pure unadulterated bullshit. An Alaskan Ethics report is the Up from Down?

I expect Sarah Palin to be spit at by the clowns, louses and losers - John McCain joined them.

Schmidt is a paid political sneak and doing his job. John McCain is a disgrace. I am sorry I voted for him.

I worked very hard for John McCain. I'm a Democrat. I knew that on Sept. 19th 2008 John McCain no longer cared to win the nomination - it was all over his face. The Economy tanked as did McCain's 'fire' and his campaign decided to make Sarah Palin the goat.

Jonathon Martin is one of the barbecue journalists who love the Maverick they created and play out of both sides of their mouths.

I voted early for and against Democrats here in Chicago, Illinois, yesterday. I will vote for Sarah Palin. McCain is no different from John Kerry - two men who never really wanted to win -it seems to me.

John McCain keeps lousy company, as far as I can tell. Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Martin and Mr. Halperin are indistinguishable and while I honor John McCain's military service I am disgusted by his crawfish political style.

I genuinely like and admire Sarah Palin. She is a happy, centered and good person.

I will work for and possibly even vote for Sarah Palin, if she runs for President - I rather doubt that she will do so.

I turn the channel when John McCain shows up. He is now as appalling to me as MSNBC - The Tool Shed.
