Snoop Dog ... Retarded Mother F*#ker

From the following link, is a story about the video made showing Snoop Dog shooting a Trump clown ...

Snoop Dogg recently jumped on a rework of BADBADNOTGOOD and Kaytranada’s IV single “Lavender.” Snoop stars alongside a cast of clowns (including one played by Michael Rapaport) in the track’s new video, directed by Jesse Wellens and James DeFina. Watch it below. Of the clip, in which a Donald Trump parody reigns supreme—at one point announcing the deportation of all dogs—Snoop told Billboard, “Nobody’s dealing with the real issue with this f--king clown as president, and the shit that we dealing with out here, so I wanted to take time out to push pause on a party record and make one of these records for the time being.” In a climactic scene, Snoop pulls a gun on the Trump clown in a parking lot; later, a chain-bound Trump tries in vain to join Snoop and his accomplice in smoking a blunt. Read Snoop’s elaboration on the song and video concept below, via Billboard.

The ban that this motherf--ker tried to put up; him winning the presidency; police being able to kill motherf--kers and get away with it; people being in jail for weed for 20, 30 years and motherf--kers that’s not black on the streets making money off of it -- but if you got color or ethnicity connected to your name, you’ve been wrongfully accused or locked up for it, and then you watching people not of color position themselves to get millions and billions off of it. It’s a lot of clown sh-t going on that we could just sit and talk on the phone all day about, but it’s a few issues that we really wanted to lock into [for the video] like police, the president and just life in general.

So Snoop explained the video above in 8 lines.  Trump apparently is to blame for everything Snoop doesn't like, that has occurred for decades, and shooting a Trump clown just made sense.  Really.

Snoop - NOTHING in your 8 lines of explanation made ANY sense.  NONE.  I understand individual components of the 8 lines, but retard ... you need to stop saying much because it was total gibberish.

Why didn't you shoot an Obama clown ... he presided over the same mess and left the mess as bad.

Bill Maher: Not funny and Still the Village Idiot (albeit with lots of money like the 1%).

What a sexist pig.  Women everywhere should be condemning this man.  A boycott should be started by the women in PINK and the NOW should be marching on the network that provides him with a home.

(Btw, will you release your tax returns so we can all see how generous you have been with your money and the generous taxes you have paid)



On Friday's "Real Time," Maher double down on Hilary Rosen's controversial statement that Ann Romney had "never worked a day in her life" by saying that, "what she meant to say, I think, was that Ann Romney has never gotten her ass out of the house to work."

"No one is denying that being a mother is a tough job," said Maher. "I remember that I was a handful. Okay, but there is a big difference in being a mother, and that tough job, and getting your ass out of the door at 7am when it’s cold, having to deal with the boss, being in a workplace, and even if you're unhappy you can’t show it for 8 hours, that is a different kind of tough thing."

Paris: I've Achieved All My Career Goals


How nice for her

By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff
Posted Mar 30, 2011 10:16 AM CDT


(Newser) – Well, isn’t this nice? In a new interview with the AP, Paris Hilton says she has achieved all her professional goals, by the ripe old age of 30. "I have done everything that I wanted to do and I feel very blessed that I have been very successful on every area," she says. "So it's very exciting. There is nothing else to do.” Of course, that doesn’t mean she’s resting on her laurels; she has a new shoe collection out, a new reality show, and she says she wants to get into the real estate business.

Phones and Neighbors

I was talking to my neighbor about cell phones and asking his opinion on what he belives is best.  Neighbours are such a funny lot - chatty at times and reclusive at others.  Unfortunately, I always have someone outside.  With 4-5 houses surrounding me ina horseshoe shape, someone is always around.


While we talked about cell phones, he asked me what I thought of an internet gossip person - I knew the name vaguely, from people who had raised the name in my presence - so I told him: (from the bottom up) I find people who live to gossip about other people to be some of the lowest forms of life on earth.  He seemed aghast at my subtleties and further queiried me - so tell me what you really think of gossip columnists online or in the paper or television .  So I told him very clearly so as not to be vague or ambiguous about my feelings - terrorists and child murderers/rapists/peadophiles are at the bottom of my list, above which are murderers (of anyone but children), rapists, and other serious felons.  Bad governments - Chinese or Cuban, Venezuela, or Vietnamese, North Korea, Iranian ... bad leaders rank just below the rapists and around the murderers level.  People who steal your property or income followed by gossip hounds.


People who live to talk about others, either to put them down or champion some retarded cause, are insecure not only about themselves, their childhood, their reason for living, they have very little value to us - the mass of humanity.  They procure silliness and weakness from slimeballs and shitheads, wrap it up and tell us all about it - as if 1) we need to know, 2) we should care, 3) it matters, 4) it is anyone's business ...  Bugger off is a reasonable expectation.  I wish, for each and every person who indulges in the 'industry' of gossip - crippling arthritis, speech impediments, and an inexplicable need for oxygen tanks.  My neighbor asked me how could be so cruel?  Honestly, in a world where up is down and down is up - I don't care whether or not it is cruel - because it is cruel only to him and two dozen other people who have been kicked in the head, one too many times by their mothers.  For the rest of us, it would be serving a greater good- much like the hospital evaluations teams that will be coming your way thanks to Obama - to determine whether or not the government should spend the $15,000 on your surgery or if it would be put to better use helping an illegal alien who is 20 years old.  After all, he has 60 years of hard labor ahead of him.  You ... less useful.


After we finished with the gossip topic, he asked me what I thought of Obama's ratings - they seemed to be falling faster than a rock from space (ok, not quite as fast):  I told the neighbor that occasionally the people get it right and occasionally we get it wrong.  Sometimes when we get it wrong, we learn quickly (Jimmy Carter), but we have to live out the rest of his term.  Sometimes when we get it wrong (Johnson), we feel bad for the guy and elect him because he has some connection to something larger than our individual self, offering us a change from the past yet a connection to what we believed we valued.  Then we accept it and trudge through praying for a miracle - perhaps Congress will see the light and act in accordance with the wishes of the American people.  My neighbor was unsure of what I thought of Obama, by the end of this discussion, so we changed topics - cell phones.


I told my neighbor - Barry is his name, that I want the Xperia.  I had wanted the Xperia 1 but they are now a generation away from that version.  I believe they are on Xperia 10 ... even better, and more money. In any case, it is my dream phone.  For now, a Blackberry.  I can't complain too much - Canada, Waterloo, if I am not mistaken.  Practically American except they speak funny.  I always thought it was a good phone, but since phone companies decided it was more fun to charge nearly $30 for access, hard to imagine two phones X $30 = $60 just for access plus the costs.  Too much.  Not a Blackberry issue so much as a carrier issue, but still.   Next on the maybe list is the Motorola Android.  It is the iphone, but heavier and less sleek.  It is the Xperia but not as extravagant and options laden.  The iphone will be made available, hopefully this year, and maybe ... maybe.   My neighbor has the Motorola Android - he likes it.


By this time, it was getting dark and cold and I was finished.  I said goodbye and came inside.  Bed time for Bonzo.

Polanski: Hollywood - 'Free Polanski Now'

ABC News

Today, Hollywood is still rushing to Polanski's defense. Directors Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and Woody Allen are among dozens in the film industry who have agreed to sign a petition calling for the immediate release of Polanski. In a British newspaper, film producer Harvey Weinstein, who has already signed the petition, called Polanski's original plea deal a "miscarriage of justice."

"Whatever you think about the so-called crime, Polanski has served his time," Weinstein wrote.
Polanski took a deal and pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse and served 42 days in a California jail where he was psychologically evaluated.




From the Daily Telegraph:


Goldberg, star of The Color Purple and Sister Act, said: "I know it wasn't rape-rape. I think it was something else, but I don't believe it was rape-rape.

"He pled guilty to having sex with a minor and he went to jail, and when they let him out he said 'You know what, this guy's going to give me 100 years in jail. I'm not staying'. And that's why he left." Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland on Sunday and faces extradition to the United States. He fled the US in 1978 before being sentenced for the crime and has been pursued around the globe by prosecutors ever since.

[...]

More than 100 film industry figures have now signed a petition calling for the release of Polanski, the acclaimed director of Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby and The Pianist.
They include leading Hollywood figures Martin Scorcese, Woody Allen, David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Pedro Almodovar, Tilda Swinton and Monica Bellucci.

One celebrity supporter, the actress Debra Winger, said it was a "three-decades-old case that is dead but for minor technicalities. We stand by him and await his release and his next masterpiece." Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein said Polanski was a "humanist" who had been the victim of a "miscarriage of justice". He said: "We will have to speak to our leaders, particularly in California. I'm not too shy to go and talk to the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and to ask him once and for all to look at this." However, the views of the Hollywood elite seemed out of step with those of ordinary Americans and they now face a backlash.



It's not rape-rape, it's not a big deal, it was consensual ... these people ... have utterly no moral backbone and the idea of hearing one of them attack President Bush, makes me want to throw up.

It's not rape-rape.

How pathetic.

Your judgment is clouded by the fact you have no ability to judge, by the fact you find geniuses molesting children, and I was not surprised to read Woody Allen's name! Brilliant. We should let them at the children and see what they ...

Oh, that's right, they already have, although it was done very artistically, the need to include a violent rape scene of  Dakota Fanning when she was 11 or younger, occurring off camera ... very appropriate, very artistic, very ... sick.  I would be surprised if Woody Allen doesn't have that film at home.

Polanski and the 13 year old, Polanski and Natasha Kinski - 15, Polanski and any number of children ...


He committed a crime and you don't absolve him simply because.


I do believe he should be freed without jail, but not without consequence. He has been forgiven by the victim, it has been 30 years, and he is a different man. What we aspire with our prison system is punishment for the crime and to have you change your behavior. He has changed his behavior and 30 years excluded from this country is quite a few, plus the forgiveness of the victim, I believe supports Polanski receiving a pardon for his crime, BUT I would never sign a stupid statement to that fact nor show myself as a hypocrite as many are now doing.

Roman Polanski: Arrested 30+ years after the fact

This happened under a Democratic president. Imagine if it had happened while Bush was president ... what the liberal Hollywood elite would be doing, at this very moment, the blogs, the posts, the newspaper columns denouncing Bush for politicizing an issue over 30 years old.

As of this moment, the only denunciations have come from France and Poland.

Now why would Switzerland arrest him NOW. Polanski has gone to Switzerland more than twelve times in the last eight years and never was he stopped. NOW he is stopped.

Anyone interested - look up Switzerland and tax and bank and US, using Google.

Hmmm. Political.

But Obama is a Democrat, it couldn't be.

What will happen is, the process will occur, he will be extradited or agree to return voluntarily, with backroom agreements. He will appear in court where the sentence will be ... and he will have to pay fines, perhaps labeled as a sex offender, ordered to report his presence when he is in the country .... and then a petition will be given to Obama (if it has not already) and a pardon or commutation will be given (depending on the outcome of the court trial).

What should happen is ... this should be dropped. Mr. Polanski has spent over 30 years exiled from this country. When he was last here, it was only 8 years since his wife had been murdered.

He has paid enough, and justice was done. He is not the same man.

Let's see what happens.

Anger in France and Poland after Polanski arrest

PARIS, Sept 27, 2009
(Reuters)
By Crispian Balmer


PARIS, Sept 27 (Reuters) - France's political elite rallied to the defence of Roman Polanski on Sunday, calling on Switzerland to free the 76-year-old film director rather than extradite him to the United States. Artists and film makers also urged the release of Polanski, who faces charges of having sex with a girl of 13 in 1977, accusing Switzerland of being overzealous in pursuing the case.

Polanski was due to receive a prize for his life's work at the Zurich Film Festival on Sunday, but was arrested on a 1978 U.S. arrest warrant after arriving in Switzerland on Saturday.

French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand said he was "stunned" by the news, adding that both he and French President Nicolas Sarkozy wanted to see the acclaimed director returned swiftly to his family.

"(Mitterrand) profoundly regrets that a new ordeal is being inflicted on someone who has already known so many during his life," the culture ministry said in a statement.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner also issued a statement, saying he had spoken to his Swiss counterpart to demand that Polanski's rights were fully respected and that a "favourable" solution be rapidly found.

Polanski holds French citizenship and is married to French singer actress Emmanuelle Seigner. He has spent much of his life here since fleeing the United States in 1978, but regularly visits countries where he does not expect extradition woe.

Robert Harris, a British novelist who said he had been working with Polanski for much of the past three years writing two screenplays, expressed outrage over the arrest.

"I am shocked that any man of 76, whether distinguished or not, should have been treated in such a fashion," he said in a statement, adding that Polanski had often visited Switzerland and even had a house in Gstaad.

"It is hard not to believe that this heavy-handed action must be in some way politically motivated," he said.

Born in Paris, Polanski moved to Poland with his Jewish family when still a toddler shortly before World War Two. His mother died in a Nazi concentration camp, but Polanski avoided capture and spent his youth in Poland before moving to the West.

His ties with Poland are still strong and Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said he might appeal directly to the United States over the case.

"I am considering approaching the American authorities over the possibility of the U.S. president proclaiming an act of clemency which would settle the matter once and for all," Sikorski was quoted as saying by the PAP news agency.

Poland's film-makers' association also rose to his defence.

"We do not understand why the Swiss invited Polanski to a film festival, where he was to have received a life's achievement award, and then arrested him," said association president, Jacek Bromski.

"We regard that as a scandalous situation and an example of incomprehensible overzealousness."




[Bin laden - it took justice this long to catch up to Polanski, but the American system eventually did .... and you are at the top of the list, and not for molesting young girls - although we could add that to the charges.]

Celebrity Stuff

I keep denying I write things about celebrities and I don't - this does not contradict my choice to avoid gossip. I saw this article/column and almost fell off the floor ... who in their right mind would allow this man near any child - ever again.



Report: Joe Jackson Has Recording, Touring Plans For Michael Jackson's Children
July 13, 2009

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Joe Jackson is reportedly hoping to take Michael Jackson's three children on tour in 2010, a biographer of the late King of Pop claimed on Monday.

Ian Halperin, a celebrity biographer claimed in The Sun Newspaper that a source close to the family told him Michael's father already has plans for Prince Michael I, 12; Paris Michael Katherine, 11; and Prince Michael II (Blanket), 7.

"Joe wants the children to go on a world tour in 2010. He has also already offered recording contracts to two of Michael's kids," Halperin said.

"Now he is talking about getting them the world's best backing band and taking them on tour as The Jackson Three," he added.

Halperin told the publication that his source is concerned for the children and may soon speak out publicly. Additionally, the writer claimed a family member inside the Jackson camp is very upset over the patriarch's plans.

"One of the family members is livid. He is saying Joe seems intent to do this no matter what," Halperin said.

On Friday, during an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," Joe hinted at the talents of Michael's children.

"I keep watching Paris. She ... wants to do something. And as far as I can see, well, they say Blanket, he can really dance," Joe told "GMA."

When contacted by Access Hollywood, a rep for the Jackson family wasn't immediately available for comment.


He should never be allowed near those children and while I do not care much about their surrogate ... she should have them sooner than he be allowed to take them anywhere at any time. Very bad man. Michael Jackson did everything to escape from the man in the mirror - he would die all over again if his three children were turned over to Joe Jackson.

Gwyneth Paltrow says Spain changed her life

By SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS, Associated Press Writer
Jul 1, 2009

NEW YORK – Gwyneth Paltrow speaks almost perfect Spanish — and she does it with an Iberian accent.

The Oscar-winning actress says she traveled to Spain as a teenager, fell in love with the country, and embraces the culture to the point that she visits at least once a year and makes sure her young children, Apple and Moses, also speak the language.

"When I was 15, I went to a small town outside Talavera de la Reina and I had the most wonderful experience. It really changed my life," Paltrow said in fluent Spanish during a recent interview.

Paltrow said Spain "became a second home."

"It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it's from 500 B.C., it's incredible," she said.

"Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more. They aren't running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don't always have their Blackberries on."

Paltrow remains close to the family she lived with in Spain, calling them "my Spanish mother" and "my brothers" from Spain. Her success as an actress, she says, hasn't impressed them.

The 36-year-old actress, who is married to Coldplay's Chris Martin, says she talks to her children in Spanish.

"Moses speaks a little bit, but understands everything. Apple speaks a lot," she says.
Paltrow shot "Spain ... on the Road Again" with chef Mario Batali, cooking expert Mark Bittman and actress Claudia Bassols. They traveled throughout the country, sampling traditional foods and praising the virtues of Spain, its people and cuisine.

She's also writing a book on U.S. cuisine with Spanish influence that is due out next year.
" ... I love food, I love to eat," she says. "I can't go on diets. I have to do a lot of exercise."
She also enjoys Mexican, Italian and Japanese food.

"I'm always playing with different flavors. If I remember a phenomenal meal I had in a country, I think of its ingredients, and how I can make it in my own kitchen."

Paltrow recently launched a Spanish-language version of her Web site, GOOP.com, a weekly bulletin in which she writes on topics ranging from health advice and travel to fashion and cooking. Contributors include Madonna, Steven Spielberg and Deepak Chopra.

Has she considered acting in Spanish?

"I would love to. I haven't found the script yet, but the first (movie) would have to be a small role, not very important, because I imagine I would have to get used to acting in Spanish," she says.

Paltrow says she'd like to work with Spanish directors Pedro Almodovar and Alejandro Amenabar and Mexico's Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. And she says she would like to work again with Mexico's Alfonso Cuaron, who directed her in 1998's "Great Expectations."

She is now shooting "Iron Man 2," in which she reprises her role as Pepper Potts.

"We're all back together: Robert Downey, Jon Favreau, the director. And Scarlett Johansson is with us, Mickey Rourke. ... It's a phenomenal group, we are having a great time."

Gossip Sites

A student mentioned a gossip website to me, and being curious, I checked it out. As I was checking the website, several other students also admitted they went to the same site for gossip. One admitted to being a 'tabloid whore' although I suspect other people would stand up and say their name and admit they are also 'tabloid whores'. We all are, in a way. Voyeurs into the lives of other people, which is in a way, what gossip sites are all about.

I did not like the site I went to - the writer, I believe is emotionally stuck at 2 1/2 - 4 1/2 years old - back when children are focused on things that are icky icky or poo poo. Furthermore, I found the writer to be stuck like glue on the idea of sex - everything to that person was sex - whether in the photos, and the blog writers comments about the person, or simply their fixation on weight and celebrities who are overweight or in the alternative - underweight. One example was a photo of a male: "We heart the dick Thicke!" - DICK has strikethrough, but it is clear the intent.

I scrolled through about 20 pages and found references to sex, sex acts, or an ideal of sex - yum yum, on at least one image per page. Fixated on sex and emotionally crippled - I would immediately question - who was it that abused or otherwise sexually used this person when they were young and given their emotional age, I would guess they were hurt somewhere between the ages of 4-10 years of age. Something very traumatic occurred that has defined this person and locked them into this obsession of sex and behavior that is at the very least - childish.

Now take a person with a fixation on weight, sex, and emotionally crippled terminology and have them gossip about celebrities. This person craves attention, perhaps to compensate for the abuse they suffered in silence - they want to be something important rather than the weak pathetic little child who was stuck in icky icky poo poo land.

The question is not reading about what celebrities do - but why. If the individual goes out driving drunk with their child on the seat next to them - THAT is news, whether celebrity or not. If the person is seeing someone - THAT is not your business. If the person is seeing a lawyer about a divorce -THAT is not our business. If the person hits their child - the news of the hitting, IS our business, BUT everything else is not.

I do understand the interest in the lives of people with great wealth, and looks only 1% of the population could possibly have - we always want what we do not have, and why not want something only the rich and powerful possess. Why not. Why not take their problems also - financial issues and dysfunctional families. They are no different, just wealthier and more famous.

I have confessed to having had an interest until 1997, and I repented for my past sins, for having been a tabloid whore.

Sidebar:
In thinking about dates I remember - two stand out. When I stopped eating a certain food - 1994; and when I stopped participating in the gossip/celebrity world - 1997. I have a couple other dates I remember, but these two oddly enough I remember vividly.

Why do we need to know, why should we, what right do we have? And the answer is the same - we don't. I admit to having peeked a few times since 97, but one can count it on one hand, maybe starting the 2nd hand, and for the most part those occasions revolved around Britney and her car-crash of a life (at the time). Once more recently I read a story about someone named Peaches, who I do not know and do not care much about, although the person she was married to was part of a group I do happen to appreciate a bit. I admit, I am defending the few occasions and explaining why I visited as many times as I have - have I fallen off the wagon? I sure hope not.

We, the public do not need to know ANYTHING about a celebrities private life. We don't and I find it odd we want to. Why not stand on your balcony and watch your neighbors have sex. Maybe you would do that also, but many people who read tabloid trash would think of themselves as better than watching their neighbors have sex - even if the sex was much more interesting than your own. The truth is, there is no difference.

Celebrities come in different packages: actors, make films or television programs. We like the program, we like the actor. When he or she comes out of his/her home and goes to work, we have an investment in their actions. We have an investment (social) in their behavior while driving, but we do not have any investment or right to spy on their private life or private behavior. We don't and nothing can justify said action. It is not a matter of saying - it comes with the job. IT DOESN'T. imagine you sitting on the beach and some guy standing 30 feet away staring at you, watching you with your spouse and your two children, and for five hours does nothing but stare at you and your family, pausing long enough to go on a cell phone, speaking to someone while staring at you. How would you feel? For yourself, for your children? Sure celebrities could hire a bodyguard, BUT why should they. The entire logic used by people with gossip sites is twisted - they should be used to it, that is the nature of their business, they can hire a bodyguard ... NOOOOOOOOOO. It is not the nature, it is what we have created. It is not something one gets used to - unlike the icky icky poo poo gossip pimp who desires notoriety more than they desire knowledge or humanity. It is also funny to read a few of their ads or causes - as if throwing in a feed the children cause, between all the sex and gossip, makes everything good.

Leave the actor, singer, sports guy alone. Who cares if he models underwear or sits at the pool and turns into a bronze god ... we have seen recently how a person from no where in particular can become the single most famous female on earth for the moment - Susan Boyle. There are scores of other people who can model underwear or lounge at the pool - the fixation is the issue. And I believe it stems back to his mental level of 2.5 - 5, where oral, sex, and toilet fixations were common (and by sex I do not mean sex in the act, but rather the seeming obsessive interest in genitalia).

Leave them alone. if they drive drunk, we have a right to follow their court hearings. If they are arrested for drugs - we can read the report and watch the hearings. If they get divorced, we can read about the fact they got divorced, but we do not have a right to know why. If they are dating an actress or an actor and they are covert about said dating - we have no right. If they prance down the street with the person next to them, fine, we can read about it - but we do not have a right to go beyond the simple detail of who was with whom. And when they hide their children from the media - why the fuck not. You don't have any fucking right to see their child at any time. Placing myself in any of their places, I would have no problem smashing the camera and the face of someone who came too close to my child. I would do it as many times as it took to get the message and if it required my going to jail - fine. At some point, on some level, the paparazzi members would decide they value their camera and their nose, their face, and their teeth more than a photo - EVEN if when they sue me, I pay for it all, it is the inconvenience they would suffer and at some point they would stay away. You simply do not have a right.

When we finally understand all this, we may well find ourselves emotionally and mentally better adjusted. Leave these icky icky poo poo heads to dwell in their own feces and the rest of us can grow up, and have a mature relationship with people - whether they happen to be celebrities (as defined by anyone who of their own choosing or otherwise in whatever field is placed into the public eye) or just your neighbors. Like your neighbors, they are people who want to raise their children or live their lives without having a fucking camera in their yard, face, car every time they turn around - and they deserve the same protections - LEAVE THEM ALONE. Stop buying the rubbish at the grocery stands, spend money to see their films if they are any good, don't spend money if the film is crap, and get over the rest of it. Please. Icky Icky Poo Poo head needs to be retired - and that is something we can all pitch in and do - send that terrified little child back to where they deserve - ignominy.

Peaches and Max - PR Stunt?! or a Love that was never there.

Peaches Geldof's marriage a PR stunt
15/06/2009



Peaches Geldof's whirlwind marriage was a "publicity stunt", her ex-husband has admitted.

Chester French rocker Max Drummey, who wed Peaches in Las Vegas last year after dating her for just a month, has confessed the pair tied the knot to boost their celebrity status.

He said: "It was totally a publicity stunt - 100 percent. I'm glad we got married. I've garnered so much amazing publicity from awesome people."

Max claims he is still making money from the marriage and says he stays in contact with 20-year-old Peaches because it keeps him in the public spotlight.

The musician is quoted on website MailOnline as saying: "I have her on retainer. Not as my PR, as my friend. On my personal payroll. She's my friend for money. She also orchestrates publicity stunts for me."

Peaches and Max wed at Las Vegas' Little White Chapel last August, but their marriage lasted just six months.

The 20-year-old presenter - the daughter of charity campaigner Bob Geldof - recently claimed she didn't regret the union.

Peaches said: "Max and I are really good friends. We were just too young. That's all it was. I still love the idea that we did it. I love the idea I can tell my kids one day about it and I know he does too."

Just two months after the pair tied the knot, Peaches admitted she didn't expect the relationship to last.

She said: "I didn't go into it with Max thinking, 'This is going to last forever,' but I did go into it thinking, 'I love him right now and I know that I'll continue to love him for a long while.' He thinks the same."

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

I do not comment on celebrities very often, in part, because they do not deserve the publicity, and in part because this blog, a reflection of, in large part, what I am thinking about, does not include thoughts about movie or other celebirties.

However, this one stuck out for one reason.

Imagine the following. Imagine Max really did, very much did, was as much as was possible - in love with Peaches. Imagine he was, and imagine she was using him, stringing him along as a toy while she was interested. Imagine he loved her (as much as anyone can after such a short time) - and then imagine she loses interest and trots off to engage in her other pursuits, chasing men, drinking, drugs, parties, life back in jolly old England ... and when she goes, she makes statements like: Max and I are really good friends. We were just too young. That's all it was. I didn't go into it with Max thinking, 'This is going to last forever,' but I did go into it thinking, 'I love him right now and I know that I'll continue to love him for a long while.'

And imagine you are Max, deeply hurt by her words.

What could you say that would make Peaches feel like crap and would tell the world (whoever cared) that she was used, and wasn't worth more than that!

Now re-read the article.









Battle Royale - Love and War

The Gutless Wonder

I believe he has it about right.



Wanda Sykes’ Gutless Performance

by Ben Shapiro


Hollywood’s favorite phrase is “speaking truth to power.” It charts just above “She/he is the love of my life,” “Though we’re not together anymore, we’ll remain good friends,” and “Hey, where did I leave my underwear?”

Hollywood slings around the phrase “speaking truth to power” as if it were cocaine at a Sean Penn movie premiere party. And they particularly love slinging it around at the time of the White House Correspondents Dinner.

A couple years ago, Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central was the beneficiary of the “speaking truth to power” Hollywood press machine. He headlined the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner, and laid ‘em in the aisles with brilliant lines like, “Over the last five years, you people were so good-over tax cuts, WMD intelligence, the effect of global warming. We Americans didn’t want to know, and you had the courtesy not to try to find out. … And then you write, Oh, they’re just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. First of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!”

Yes, when you’re a leftist, spouting leftist Hallmark cards cribbed from Democratic Underground counts as humor.

But at least Colbert said all this to Bush’s face. It took a peculiar kind of guts, but it took guts. It wasn’t truly “speaking truth to power” - after all, Bush wasn’t going to send Colbert to the gulag or force him into re-education camp. But by the watered-down definition of the media, it counted.

Wanda Sykes, by contrast, is the most gutless and feckless performer ever to grace the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Sykes, for those who haven’t seen her stellar work in gems like CondomNation, Brother Bear 2, and Over the Hedge, is a militant lesbian with a grating voice and an obnoxious strut. She recently proclaimed during the California Prop. 8 debate that “Everybody that knows me personally, they know I’m gay … Now, I gotta get in their face. I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be a black woman, and I’m proud to be gay.”

Well, apparently she’s not so proud to be gay. Because when given the opportunity to make jokes about the nation’s leading proponent of opposite-sex marriage, President Barack Obama, she said precisely nothing. Instead, she chose to gently stroke his ego with jokes about his pecs, his dog, and his basketball skills.

Meanwhile, she saved her real ire for non-federal or non-active politicians and non-governmental figures like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. To Obama’s hysterical laughter, she said that she hoped Limbaugh would suffer kidney failure and accused him of being the 20th hijacker. She said she wanted Sean Hannity waterboarded by Keith Olbermann. She attacked Dick Cheney, stating that if her child had a choice between getting in a car with Dick Cheney and a car with a stranger, she would tell her child to choose the stranger.

Courageous, to be sure.

But she saved her most despicable gibe for Sarah Palin, who was not attending. Apparently, Sykes isn’t only a shrinking violet when it comes to her lesbianism - she’s a shrinking violet when it comes to her sex. Noting Sarah’s absence at the dinner (her husband, Todd, attended), Sykes said that Palin had pulled out at the last minute. “Somebody should tell her that’s not really how you practice abstinence,” she chided.

This is sexism of the highest order. Sarah Palin didn’t get knocked up before her marriage - her daughter did. Why didn’t Sykes blame Todd, who was sitting right there? Or why didn’t she blame Levi, who knocked up Bristol? Or why didn’t she blame Bristol? By focusing on Sarah, she perpetuated the stereotype that the woman is utterly and totally responsible for each and every individual act of the child - a stereotype Sykes would surely reject were she not so blindly hateful of Palin.

The bottom line: both feminism and homosexuality matter less to Sykes than kissing Barack Obama’s butt. She didn’t utter a single joke about Obama’s out of control spending. Not one joke about his teleprompter. Not one joke about his visit with Chavez, his messages to Iran, his Cinco De Mayo screwup, his mastery of the Austrian language, his “world without nuclear weapons,” his spreading the wealth around, his ownership of the car companies, his tax-cheat employees.

And most of all, not a single joke about Dan Choi, the first gay Arabic linguist fired by Barack Obama under the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Not a single joke about Obama’s interracially married parents and his refusal to stump for homosexual marriage. Sykes pledged to “get in their face” about gay marriage, but refused to get in the face of the most powerful man on earth about it. Instead, she chose to go after Rush Limbaugh and oxycontin - a choice for which she will surely be praised by the leftist media.

In certain times, such posturing buffoonery would have been ripped as “Uncle Tomming.” Imagine Richard Pryor speaking at a White House Correspondents Dinner for JFK and failing to mention the civil rights movement, instead choosing to focus on Jackie Kennedy’s hairdo and JFK’s winning smile.

Nobody has the obligation to “speak truth to power” when given the opportunity. Sometimes it’s okay just to be funny. But if one is given the opportunity to speak truth to power, sees him/herself as a champion of “speaking truth to power,” and instead chooses to spend the time excoriating the power’s opposition, that would be sycophantic stupidity of the worst kind.
That would be Wanda Sykes.

Hollywood does the Obamanation 2

There is nothing new about Barack - he is a socialist. He feigns his dislike for government involvement - which means nothing. He says one thing and does another, and then uses the economy as excuses. He is an old time socialist in 21st century wrappings, intent on ridding the world of the evil of 'unregulated' capitalism (which leaves socialism).

He is no different, his administration has already been riddled with fiasco's and scandals - no one it seems pays taxes except for the Middle Class who will, shortly be paying more under Obama's future plans than they are now. And his storytelling that his programs will reduce taxes for a majority ... in some ways it does - it reduces (by returning money never given) taxes on the poorest and lower middle classes, and takes from everyone else. Even with that simplistic analysis, he is not different.

His tone, his actions, his behavior - nothing has changed.

And the Hollywood crowd are simply hateful, vile, and disgusting ...





Not funny: Barack Obama laughs at Wanda Sykes "joke" about wanting Rush Limbaugh dead

Toby Harnden
May 10, 2009
Telegraph.co.uk


What was Wanda Sykes thinking? Perhaps more to the point, what was President Barack Obama thinking when he laughed and smiled as the comedienne wished Rush Limbaugh dead?

Although the Left is reporting her White House Correspondents' Dinner speech as "taking shots" at Limbaugh and mocking everyone, that's a gross misrepresentation of what turned into a hateful and disgusting diatribe.

I was at the dinner and I began by laughing at Sykes's gentle teases about the press loving Obama so much they never capture him on film smoking but often seem to get him on the beach.

It was amusing when she quipped that Obama trying so hard to be all things to all men that the next thing is he'll be seen mowing the White House lawn.

But the speech took a very ugly turn when she laid into Limbaugh.

This is what she said: "Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails, so you're saying, 'I hope America fails', you're, like, 'I dont care about people losing their homes, their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq'. He just wants the country to fail. To me, that's treason.

"He's not saying anything differently than what Osama bin Laden is saying. You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight."

She then concluded: "Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs." Obama seemed to think this bit was pretty hilarious, grinning and chuckling and turning to share the "joke" with the person sitting on his right.

There's not much room for differing interpretations of what Sykes said. She called Limbaugh a terrorist and a traitor, suggested that he be tortured and wished him dead.

What was his crime? Hoping that Obama's policies - which he views as socialist - will fail.

That's way, way beyond reasoned debate or comedy and Obama's reaction to it was astonishing.
Imagine if a comedian "joked" that Obama was a terrorist who was guilty of treason and should be tortured and allowed to die. There would justifiably be an outcry.

But when the "joke" comes from a liberal, Obama-supporting comedienne and the target is a right-winger then the likes of Hilary Rosen and Donna Brazile are on CNN saying it's just comedy and Limbaugh is "fair game".

And Obama laughing when someone wishes Limbaugh dead? Hard to take from the man who promised a new era of civility and elevated debate in Washington.

Spotting stars at the White House Correspondents dinner
By Linda Feldmann
May 10, 2009 edition
Christian Science Monitor


After all these years, I have figured out the best way to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner ­ or at least this year’s dinner: with a 16-year-old girl.

Rebecca had an eagle eye for celebs, some of whom I would never have recognized. Ludacris? I’ve heard of him, but that’s it. But there he was on the red carpet, with his mother (smart guy!), and I wasn’t completely clueless.

Other folks were easy to recognize, but Rebecca was much better at spotting them in the crowd. There’s Owen Wilson! Will he pose for a picture with a young fan? Sure.

Same with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Eva Longoria Parker, Demi Moore, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jason Bateman, Amy Poehler, and on and on. We also tracked down Ed Westwick, the wonderfully arch Chuck Bass on “Gossip Girl,” with the help of Ana Marie Cox, Wonkette emeritus.

I hate to say this, but it was almost star overload. You’d be heading for one (I won’t name names), then you’d see someone even more cool ­ in one instance, the stunning Padma Lakshmi of “Top Chef” — and detour over to her, lest you miss your chance.

I have two favorite memories: Rebecca spying a tall nerdy guy wearing a red bow tie and saying, “Peter Orszag! I have to say hello.” Her best friend babysits for his kids, and oh by the way, he’s President Obama’s budget director.

Favorite moment No. 2: Walking up to a friendly-looking old man and striking up a conversation about Woodrow Wilson High School here in Washington, where Rebecca goes. This man graduated from Wilson more than 60 years ago, and when I mentioned the connection, he said, “Oh, a Tiger!” and launched into the Wilson fight song.

Then he said, “I’m going to whisper a stock tip in Rebecca’s ear, and you take our picture.” OK! Eventually, Rebecca figured out who this jolly grandpa was: Warren Buffett.

Obama and Wanda Sykes killed with their post-dinner speeches. The videos are all over the web.

I have a suggestion for next year: Send all 2,000 tickets to Hollywood and let the stars divvy up the tables and decide which journalistsand politicos to invite.






Obama

Farrah

I remember going to the mall with my sister as a kid, and walking through the mall, passing a store that was a curio type - carrying all sorts of odds and ends, including a poster of Farrah on their front window. I stopped my sister and asked her if I could get the poster. She said no. I threw a temper tantrum and she bought me the poster. I didn't really know who this woman was, but I knew I had a crush on her and would, several years later, watch her television show in re-runs and recall seeing her poster for the first time in that mall, and then, on my bedroom wall. I still have it somewhere.

She was the most beautiful woman in the world when I was 7 or 8 or whatever age I was and she is no less so now. Even though none of us, around the world, knew her personally, millions had that poster, and perhaps still have it, somewhere.

Farrah Fawcett's dad, 91, flies in to say goodbye




Farrah Fawcett's 91-year-old father James is flying into Los Angeles to say goodbye to his dying daughter, reports RadarOnline.com and KTLA.

Farrah's condition has allegedly worsened. The 62-year-old actress and Hollywood icon is battling anal cancer that spread, according to doctor's statements.

Ryan O'Neal revealed in an interview with People today that her "treatment" has pretty much ended and that her cancer has spread to her liver. He reveals that she stays in bed now and is on IVs.O'Neal says, "She stays in bed now. The doctors see that she is comfortable. Farrah is on IVs, but some of that is for nourishment."

"It's a love story," he tells People. "I just don't know how to play this one. I won't know this world without her,"

Why is Hollywood not championing Roxana Saberi?

I suspect Simpson has it right, and worse than that, we see that it becomes necessary for the left to sell their principles for a belief they cannot sustain, yet must sustain at all costs or lose everything - for once they have sold their virtue, they have nothing left if their beliefs are shown to be vapid and feckless.





Why is Hollywood Silent on Roxana Saberi?
by John T. Simpson

I see a great story in Roxana Saberi. Don’t you? A can’t fail, high-concept, four-quadrant script with a unique storyline. In fact, I’d expect a bidding war no less severe and cutthroat for the rights to Roxana’s story as that for Lone Survivor. You know. A MARIE in Iran meets MISSING kinda thing.

A young and beautiful former Miss North Dakota and reporter for the BBC and NPR, among others, falsely arrested by misogynist Iran and tagged with a series of escalating charges, from buying wine to reporting with expired credentials to espionage, charges even Roxana’s lawyer has not officially seen to date, but upon which Ms. Saberi was just sentenced to eight years in the Iranian Hell of Evin prison in a one-day kangaroo court trial. Coercion was also involved, including a threat to kill her.

Any questions as to who and what we’re really dealing with here now? According to ABC News, Roxana is now officially a pawn in the Great Game between Un-Islamic Iran and the Great Satan. How much more of a blockbuster storyline could you ask for?

And that doesn’t even scratch the surface of all the world-turning subplots of international intrigue, conflict and sinister intent that drove such taut films as “North By Northwest,” “The Manchurian Candidate” and “Team America: World Police.” With me so far?

Oh, and I say un-Islamic, because the Hitlerite child-murdering and kiddie martyrdom-training fascist Nazi regime in Iran has nothing to with Islam or God. Just the opposite, in fact. They may call us the Great Satan, but you tell me who acts more like Lucifer here. What has Argentina ever done to Iran to deserve terror attacks and the mass murder of civilians? Am I Reich?

But I digress. We writers do that in moments of passion. Onto the subject at hand.

The backstory. Roxana was arrested on January 31, eleven days after Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States. A test? If so, more drama. On March 5th, SOS Clinton demanded Roxana’s release from Iranian custody. The very next day, March 6th, Iranian authorities said they would release Roxana ’soon.’

On March 13th, Human Rights Watch issued a statement calling Roxana Saberi’s detention unlawful under international laws and conventions, in effect declaring her a hostage. Being as the media is so on the ball lately, I didn’t hear about that bombshell HRW press release until five days later, and even then I had to search for it. Somebody has to report this stuff.

Yet, in a twist of fate, I had declared Roxana Saberi a hostage that very same day. Not so much based on international law as knowing how much un-Islamic Iran loves to punk the Great Satan.

Roxana’s parents, father Reza and mother Akiko, flew into Tehran recently with assurances that Roxana’s release would be speeded up, only to land and see their daughter sentenced to eight years in Evin prison for espionage. Which she will not survive. In protest to this abomination of justice that’s S.O.B. in Iran, Roxana is now on a hunger strike. Her situation is precarious at best.

Some in the press have mused that Roxana may even be a pawn in Iran’s own nationwide elections in June. A rouse to the hardline un-Islamic base, who love nothing better than to see the Great Satan get a black eye. Makes them more prone to overlook troubling domestic issues that are hounding Ahmadinejad et al right now. The hardliners are even using Team Oscar as their Willie Horton against moderates. “Who invited the Great Satan in!” That kind of stuff.

It’s called externalizing. Any good dictatorship worth its salt excels at it. Make us look so bad that they look good, no matter how much bad shite they pull. Others in the press believe Iran may be setting up a swap of Roxana for Iranian diplomats arrested by US forces in Iraq, curiously with no questions from the media as to it being an unseemly act. Anyway, lots of storylines. No doubt many in Hollywood will be lining up for the rights to the story of Roxana Saberi.

I only wish they were lining up right now to speak up for HER rights! Where ARE they? They’re the Human Rights Champs! Right? You want to see something REALLY sick? Twenty-six videos on YouTube for Roxana Saberi, and most are news reports! There are 35 alone for Jim Carrey’s video on Burma’s imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, 168 for George Clooney in Darfur. Not counting playlists.

UPDATE: Eighty-four videos now. Still no celebs. So where is Hollywood on Roxana Saberi?
Totally MIA, from what I can see. Or can’t, I should say.

Hell, Clown Man is protesting Iran more than all of Hollywood combined! Speaking of clowns. Or Stooges, I should say. Former Team Oscar leader and Academy president Sid Ganis is still too busy on the Mad Mullah Promo Tour to have a clue. Annette Bening is no doubt still raving about how fabulous Iran and women’s rights for filmmakers are there.

Tell it to Tehmineh Milani, Annette! She was sentenced to death for her celluloid slanders! Tell it to Iranian-American filmmaker Esha Momeni, who awaits trial in Iran before a political tribunal on similar charges for filming a women’s rights documentary in Tehran for her masters degree!

Hopeless. Like the rest of Team Oscar, none of whom has mentioned Roxana Saberi to date that I can find, they are too busy living the fantasy of Iran to see the cold, hard realities staring them in the face, even when those realities involve imprisoned fellow filmmakers and the extermination of gays as state policy. Or an American woman being held hostage, even as they partied it up in Tehran.

Where is UNIFEM Ambassador of Good Will Nicole Kidman? She should be front and center on this! Not one statement on Roxana Saberi I can find. In fact, a search of UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund For Women, comes up a big fat zero on a Roxana Saberi site search. What you will find is “Women’s Voices Raised on Climate Change” and “Training of Gender Audit Facilitators.”

In fact, the last UNIFEM entry on the stoning of women in Iran, of three total on the entire site, was from 2002, though it’s gotten much worse since. Iran even imprisons women indefinitely for protesting stoning now! They gonna stone them, too? Wouldn’t put it past them! They feed off that shite! What do you expect from Nazis? Won’t find that at UNIFEM, either. In fact, Iran wasn’t even mentioned at their 53rd Session last year, and they’re the worst offenders on the planet!

How lame is that? Some “spotlight on violence against women” THEY are! Oh, but they do have a spotlight on violence against women in Canada. My women’s rights heroes. UNIFEM. Just as silent on Roxana Saberi, Esha Momeni and the horrific abuse of women in Iran as Hollywood. Yet one more useless UN bureaucracy we’re paying for. Good press, though. PR is all. Right, Nicole?

Gwyneth Paltrow, also silent, is probably too busy boycotting we greedy, unintelligent and uncivilized Americans and prepping for Iron Man 2. She may denigrate and boycott us from Britain as the world’s real capitalist enemy, but she sure seems to know where her Socialist bread is buttered. You Go, Girl! Bravo and Tally Ho! And I do mean Ho. What else do you call someone who sells their virtue for money?

I think I’ll wait to see Iron Man 2 for free. Borrow the DVD. I can boycott on principle, too.

You know what the most pathetic thing is here, people? Even the real Stooges spoke out against the fascist dictator of their age more than all of Hollywood today. Seen any Hollywood rips on Ahmadinejad or Iran at all? Sorry. Shhhh. Don’t want to offend anyone. Walk softly, but carry a big carrot. And no gay jokes about that big carrot, either! Got it?

They don’t like those. Not one bit. Gays, I mean.

I have to wonder. To paraphrase Jon Stewart, Is this Hollywood Diplomacy Inaction? Like they’re afraid if anyone in Hollywood said anything bad about Iran, it might set back the Obamamessiah’s ‘reaching out’ to today’s Third Reich? Or if AMPAS said anything bad about Iran in a press release, they might not be allowed back to apologize, or train Iran’s propaganda film stooges again?

Or is all of Hollywood just so totally duped by the Mad Mullahs of Iran, or so blinded by the Obamamessiah, Roxana doesn’t even register? I do know one thing. If this Roxana Saberi Hostage Crisis occurred on Bush’s watch, how many in Hollywood would have blamed him for Roxana’s horrific situation? Not the hostage-takers, mind you. Don’t answer, it’s a rhetorical question.

No, my guess is, Hollywood Diplomacy is in full effect for the Obamamessiah. Don’t bring up Roxana Saberi, their shady nuke program, their stoning of women, their executing of children, their killing of bloggers, their threats of genocide, not even their gay extermination program: “Don’t give them anything else to apologize for. We have enough already!”

Walk around those blogger-murdering, Jew-bombing, women-stoning, gay-hanging, kid-executing, Armageddon-threatening un-Islamic Nazis like we were in a minefield? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!

What are we gonna do speaking up? Make things worse? HOW? But no. Give Peace a Chance. Here’s what Peace Hath Wrought, Hollywood. The Team Oscar olive branch slapped out of Obama’s hand with the demand for apologies and submission. The Obama Peace Video met with scorn, derision and ‘Death To America’ rallies. And the Roxana Saberi Hostage Crisis. Not to mention all the horrors they’re inflicting on their own people as we speak.

And now this: ‘On Tuesday, Reuters reported that a spokesman for the Iranian judiciary, Ali-Reza Jamshidi, had termed calls for Ms. Saberi’s release from American officials “utterly ridiculous.”

Based on Iran’s total contempt for international law regarding Roxana Saberi, and the mountains of bloody and horrific evidence on un-Islamic Iran staring us in the face, I’d tell everyone in Hollywood that we are dealing with an irrational fascist regime in Iran, and to start speaking up for Roxana Saberi, Iranian-American filmmaker Esha Momeni, the abuse of every other woman in Iran, the executing of children, and the ruthless and brutal anti-gay pogrom Iran is now exporting to Iraq.

If there were anyone rational left in Hollywood to say that to. Used to be. To be sure, if there are any Hollywood celebrities who have been pulling for Roxana Saberi and I just didn’t find you, appy-pollie-logies. But I had to kick some asses here. I hope you understand.

Speaking of which, here’s AMPAS. Tell them Academy members need to start speaking up for Roxana Saberi, and starting acting like the human rights champs they play on TV and claim to be. And see if they can roust Sid and Annette from their next Iran promo video long enough to say a few words on behalf of Roxana Saberi and Iranian-American filmmaker Esha Momeni.

Not holding my breath. But how nice would it be for the next act of Roxana: A True Story to open with crowds of well-known Hollywood faces twisted in outrage over Roxana’s abysmal human rights situation, not to mention the rest of Iran’s. Roxana’s a lucky one. Oh, and to make one point perfectly clear, the question here is not whether Iran recognizes Roxana’s American citizenship. The real question is, do we? She was born here. Good enough for illegals, ain’t it?

And I am certainly hoping Roxana’s story has an ending in Evin prison more like Haleh Esfandiari’s than murdered Iranian-Canadian journalist Ziba Kazemi, who was beaten, raped, her fingernails pulled and her skull fractured, all for the crime of taking photos outside Evin prison. In other words, I’m hoping for an ending more Hollywood, and less un-Islamic extremist Iran.

By the way, Roxana turns 32 this Sunday. Friends of Roxana have set up an email account for well-wishers around the world to say Happy Birthday to Roxana at happybirthdayroxana@gmail.com One nice birthday present would be to see a lot more people in Hollywood and Washington speaking up on her behalf. If it’s not too much trouble, that is.

Raised voices helped free Haleh Esfandiari, Tehmineh Milani and others from the hell of Evin prison. They can do so once again for Roxana. Iran’s Thugocracy, like Hollywood, hates bad PR. Ruins their image. Speaking of which.

On that note, here’s Congress. Here’s State. Here’s the White House. Roxana is an American citizen, not a pawn, and she has been held unjustly in Iranian captivity for 81 days now. Where are the strong words? The Congressional resolution in support of Roxana, like North Dakota’s?
What good are they?

Our government should tell Iran to release Roxana right now, or we cut off their gasoline. For starters. See how fast they move then to avoid gas rioting at home! And if that doesn’t work, warm up the B-52s. And I don’t mean the rock band. But the other type will also be free to roam if they want to, i.e. take out government-financed terrorist training camps, nuke facilities, etc, etc.

Roam around their world. Rock their world, I should say. Do it for Roxana. But only if the gas thing don’t work first. No, I didn’t mean bomb ‘em right away. I’ll give peace, a gas cutoff and some gas rioting in Iran a chance. What do you think I am, a warmonger?

FREE ROXANA SABERI! LIKE RIGHT NOW!!!

Liberalism is a brain disorder

She is just telling it like it is, why question her. She knows all things.




Liberal actress says tea parties were racist

By Amanda Carpenter on April 17, 2009.

Liberal actress and political activist Janeane Garofalo, in all seriousness, said activists who attended tea parties are racists with dysfunctional brains in a recent prime-time television appearance.

"Let's be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea party was about. They don't know their history at all. It's about hating a black man in the White House," she said on MSNBC's "The Countdown" with Keith Olbermann Thursday evening. "This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that."

Olbermann did not once try to challenge her on those assertions.

The actress went on to describe the brain size of typical "right-winger, Republican or conservative or your average white power activist."

"Their synapses are misfiring. ... It is a neurological problem we are dealing with," she said. This isn't the first time she's offered this analysis, either. Ms. Garofalo said similar things about Alaskan GOP Governor Sarah Palin's brain last February in an interview with an environmental blog.

The actress went on to bash the GOP on MSNBC Thursday because it had "crystallized into the white power movement" as well as Fox News, which she said has captured the "Klan demo [graphic]."

"Who else is Fox talking to? Urban older white guys and their girlfriends who suffer from Stockholm Syndrome," she said.

Ironically, Ms. Garofalo is currently playing a role on the drama 24, which is aired by the Fox Broadcasting Company and is popular among conservative circles.







Obama

Whats in a name?

I have no idea, but we find Hollywood not wanting their children to be followed, chased, photographed, and just as importantly, to not be just one of the rest of us.

They want their child to stand out, but not to be followed. To be independent, but not newsworthy enough to be chased by paparazzi.

Then perhaps a quick review of a few names doled out by celebrity parents to their children:



Apple - Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

Banjo - Rachel Griffiths

Bronx Mowgli - Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz (Why not bagera or baloo)

Jermajesty - Jermaine Jackson

Kal-El - Nicolas Cage (Why not Superman)

Maddox - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Moon Unit - Frank Zappa

Moxie Crimefighter - Penn Jillette

Pilot Inspektor - Jason Lee

Twitty Milk - Erykah Badu and Jay Electronica (Given the parents names, no wonder)

Satchel - Mia Farrow and Woody Allen

Suri - Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise

Zuma Nesta Rock - Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale (What was going on here - Zuma beach on a rock)



Then compare Tiger Woods and the names he gave - Charlie and Sam.

Ben and Jennifer - their children Seraphina Rose Elizabeth and Violet

Emery Hope - Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn


Which (Woods/ Affleck/Sehorn) or the rest, stand a better chance of normalcy?


Nothing is wrong with normalcy - it is what allows us not to be hounded at 80 mph by paprazzi that threaten lives and property. It allows us not to worry our property is being trespassed upon to get photos of us. Normalcy.

It is what they demand for their children from the media, but it is not what they offer their children.

Torture and Use of Torture

C. Torture known terrorists if they know details about future terrorist attacks in the U.S.

2005 Jan 7-9
Willing 39%
Not willing 59%
No opinion 2

2001 Oct 5-6
Willing 45%
Not willing 52%
No opinion 2%

Taken from gallup.com

I would expect that another poll, with more recent numbers, exists.



I understand Jessica Lange and John Cussack oppose torture at any cost ... well, I don't really think they do, I think they say they do, in part because they have no backbone and it is easier to align yourself with other losers than think for yourself. In any event, I will (until I explain why they are hypocrites) accept them at their word, and the fact that, according to the poll, between 52-59% of Americans oppose torture.

I will admit - I am very happy that there are rough men who will do what is necessary in order that I live, in order that my family lives, in order that hundreds of millions of others do what they do each day without missing a heartbeat thinking about how close they have come to becoming a terrorism statistic.

I am very happy knowing these men will do whatever is necessary to ensure they do not win.

The 59% of Americans feel the same way, they just don't understand what is at stake.

It is always easier in the abstract to be opposed to torture, spanking, divorce, or the death penalty. Abstract. When Americans are confronted with the question and it is held in the abstract, they will side with what Americans have always been known for, their compassion and humanity. Fewer than 1/2 a percent of Americans think torture is a good idea. The rest of us oppose it, and we sleep well believing that as Americans we uphold a standard, an ideal - that forbids us from applying torture to our list of methods to get answers.

In the real world, the results would be different and Americans would become much more realistic - what if a terrorist is caught, and enough information is discovered at the scene to suggest there were 15-20 others, and their plans involve malls, buses, and elementary schools, in at least 12 cities across the US. Several dates were written on various papers, but all of them in the very immediate future.

We know they are terrorists because bin Ladens photo is on the wall, they have written 'jihad is our mission' on the walls, and evidence exists of ablution having been done recently.

You caught one person. He spits at you and tells you he would rather die than talk. He wants to meet Allah, and he wants you to die. He tells you that soon he and others will be in paradise and blood will run in the streets.

What do you do?
Arrest him?
Handcuff him?
Read him his Miranda rights?
Call him an attorney?

And wait?

His attorney will not be arriving for 1-2 hours.

You cannot speak to him, not even to ask him where he was born. Can't do it. In fact, asking him if he wants something to drink may well be problematic, but would be overlooked at trial.


I'll change it a bit.

You find documents that mention C-4 and electronic devices to detonate bombs, plans for buildings that you cannot tell for sure what they are, but they include ventilation systems, Blue Bus, MTA, LAUSD, a number of private schools, 1-2 universities, a number of buildings in downtown Los Angeles, LAX, Burbank/Glendale Airport, John Wayne Airport, and something about a water treatment plant and gases.

I suppose you could: close all schools servicing 12 million people, shut down the bus lines in LA County, close three airports, close universities, evacuate buildings downtown, shut down water plants in Los Angeles ... and the cost would be easily $50 million lost, in a blink. At a time when the city is short $400 million. I DOUBT IT.

I assume waht Jessica Lange and Cussack would say is - use your police, detective work ... and then BOOM.

Scores of buses, a mall, a univserity, five middle schools, an airport - all blown up. Thousands dead.

And the police - had just begun their detective work. Now they won't need to. What they can do, is use the time to notify the families that their relatives will not be going home because torture is unAmerican.

I am sure they will understand.


Let's assume for a moment that Jessica's son and her daughter were at the airport. Lange's other son, was at the local university when it was attacked. None survived.

Mr. Cussack was a bit more fortunate - his nephew was at school and the school was bombed, but his nephew did survive.


The police who wouldn't have much else to do, could go around and do notifications.

Here is where the hypocrisy comes in - if someone took Cussack's nephew or Lange's son - and buried them alive. I have absolutely no doubt, both of them would tear the perpetrators eyes out if it got them their loved one back. I am certain, beyond a doubt - and I don't know either of them.


Our intelligence services do not collect people who were strolling along the road picking flowers. Use the gray matter you have to grapple with this idea - collecting some useless piece of garbage to store for years, at taxpayer cost, in a facility where he might be set free and or might pass along information on his location, and or get an attorney and or make the story known ... just grapple with that for a moment. These men who have done intelligence work, been trained in at least 3-4 foreign countries ... are fucking rock hard stupid. Is that what you are suggesting Mr. Cussack. They collect sweet innocent little boys off the streets, having no clue why or what they will do with them ... that these men cannot distinguish between bad and reasonably innocent. That is what you are saying Cussack/Lange/Streisand et al. It is you who are rock hard stupid.

The hypocrisy is and would be deafening.

These men will do what is necessary, regardless of what Obamessiah says, to ensure it does not happen - to ensure you and your unworthy ilk, are not slaughtered at the alter of hate, by those who desire your deaths (far ahead of mine given what it is you do - paid prostitutes). When you are begging for your life, they will not offer you a tea to calm your nerves or dullen the pain - for you are unworthy of that small gesture. They will butcher you - even while you protest at the top of your lungs how much you hate Bush.

There are moments when I wonder why - why you can't get a fucking clue, why the men who protect us, bother. Most of us are not worth it.

Cher: Republican Rule Almost ‘Killed Me’
Friday, February 06, 2009
By Nicholas Ballasy, Video Reporter

(CNSNews.com) - Grammy award-winning singer and Academy award-winning actress Cher told CNSNews.com that living under Republican rule almost “killed" her, and she does not understand why anyone would want to be a Republican.

She also said that President Barack Obama’s “intelligence” and “spirit” are “so great” he will be able to do “more than anyone could possibly do.”

“His intelligence is so great and his spirit is so great, I believe he will be able to do as much if not more than anyone could possibly do,” Cher told CNSNews.com at the “Declare Yourself” inaugural ball.

“I just think he’s totally the right person at this time in our history," she said. "He brings something more in his spirit than maybe another president could be even with the same intelligence. There’s something about him that brings more with his spirit, and that’s what Americans need right now. Republicans almost killed me.”

When asked to explain how Republicans somehow “killed” her, Cher was not specific.

“You know what? I have so – I try to be charitable and there are some really good Republicans, but I just don’t understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just can’t figure it. I don’t understand,” she said. “If you’re poor, if you’re any kind of minority – gay, black, Latino, anything. If you’re not a rich – I don’t know. If you’re not a rich born-again-Christian, I don’t get it.”

Cher also said President Obama will not end the war in Iraq right away.“I think as soon as he can. I don’t think it will be easy. It would be kind of simplistic to think that’s going to happen right away,” she said.

Roseanne and her drippings

i told my friend don't go!
I said Israel will attack any boat carrying doctors and medical supplies--they have turned away the red cross already and all medical and food assistance. Israel is a NAZI state. The Jewish Soul is being tortured in Israel. The destruction of the jews in Israel has been assured with this inhuman attack on civilians in gaza. Hamas is the street gangs---this is equivilent to los angeles attacking and launching war on the people of watts to attempt to kill the bloods and the crips.


Mz. Barr, I understand you write crap to rattle cages and annoy people, but as I read the above I was struck by how ... absolutely ignorant it is. I cannot believe anyone could actually believe such tripe, let alone articulate the ... whatever it may be, but it is not true, real, accurate, reasonably close, half way close, within the same ballpark ... You are telling a lie Mz Barr and as that father of yours would most certainly have taught you - the telling of lies is a sin that nearly surpasses any and all others due to its effect on truth - it murders truth.

Until last week israel was not ramming boats, it was not preventing all aid and supplies into Gazza. I am not sure who you listen to or where you read what you read, but it is in the same delusional world where you claim Bush resides.

I was in a state of ... awe as I read your profession of faith, above. I thought of this guy I had in a class - he shoved his right hand down his pants as he was walking up to the front of the room, scratched or rubbed or whatever, pulled his hand out, scratched his face with the same hand, and then walked up to me and wanted to shake my hand. I stood there and looked at him with this look of .... I guess, incredulity. I just stared.

When I read your rubbish, I just ... stared, with the same look I had when that idiot student stretched out his ... hand, for me to shake. I felt ill after he pushed his hand at me, and after I read your crap.

You have utterly no comprehension of anything Mz Barr. Nothing. You have become so warped, so twisted, and so addicted to listening to yourself, you have no clue about reality. You should cancel your subscription to Palestinian TV, because you do it better, and can probably make up better stories than they could ever dream up.

Leaving that waste of space above, I thought one section from your self-written obituary worth comment:


Living, as she did, in the very last few days of the American Empire, under the Occupation of Bores and Minutae Masters, when Freedom of Speech in any form by any woman was illegal, Barr never really read any critique of her work that had any intelligence to it whatsoever, ...


1) American Empire
2) Occupation of Bores
3) Freedom of speech
4) critique

1) Mz Barr, we do not have an EMPIRE to lose. You really need to develop perspective. In order for an EMPIRE to fall, you need to have ... AN EMPIRE, and I cannot in any way find or deduce that we have an EMPIRE.

2) Occupation - Mz. Barr - how can Obama, Spitzer, William Jefferson, Foley, Byrd, Ted Kennedy, Kerry, Gore ... how can you call those guys boring? Blagojevich? Come on. They may be liars and crooks, inept, naive, and fools - but they are far from being boring. Please Ms. Barr, they may be minutia driven, but they are not boring.


3) Speech - you are a fucking idiot. WHAT fucking thing can you NOT SAY? Name ONE thing? And then shut the fuck up. if we did not have freedom of speech, which you and other useless shitheads keep throwing around like crap, Michael Moore would have been in prison 6 years ago. You would have followed. Ron Paul would have been hauled away. Gore would have been in prison 8 years ago. Kerry would never have been allowed to run - he would have been arrested. Air America wouldn't exist - they'd all be in prison is you didn't have freedom of speech you stupid cow.

4) Critique: There is no need to critique someone who is of no use, purpose, import - that the sum total of everything they have done and will leave to this world is - the 'Roseanne' show. All the other drivel will melt away within hours after you die and what we will have left is the soggy Roseanne show. Your heirs will make some money - they will play reruns of those moronic shows for several weeks, perhaps dedicate a week to your idiotic screeching on that show. Critique? Why. It would be a waste.
