You do understand that this really isn't Americorp that Republicans like Laura Ingrahm find so hideous. It's GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.
They used to be called public schools. Our system of public education has since Ronald Reagan became President, become the driving force of turning America into a totalitarian socialist state. m and the tool to arrive at socialist totalitarianism. It is what home schooling and vouchers are all about. Liberals teaching our children about evolution, climate change and worst of all, about people and places faraway that are different than we are.
On that long long list of socialist institutions on the march in America, Government Schools rank at the very top, transcending even the communism inherent in police departments, fire houses, state universities, libraries, museums, roads, parks, beaches and of course the Marines.
You know, if everyone was REQUIRED (strapped down in a chair with their eyelids forced open) to watch just one evening of Fox News or listen to just one afternoon of Rush Limbaugh, the GOP would not be withering away, it would be long and buried.
The 23 yr old inmate in Lincoln, Nebraska didn't impress the judge. Born Jonathan L Thomas, he wants to change his full name to Sinner Lawrence Bilskirnir. Sinner, I call him that for short.. said that his Norse religion is the reason for his name change, as he is a Heathen and Thor is his "High God,"
I know this is one religious sect the Republicans haven't tried to connect with - yet. Perhaps he is a Berserker trying this out in Lincoln, Nebraska, of all places! Judge Steve Burns listed reasons why the court needed to keep track of - Jonathan? Obviously unimpressed with his reasons for a change of name, the judge then said that "simply because a person is a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, they do not change their name to Moses."
Nice try "Sinner" maybe if and when you're on the outside you and Thor can try again.

Oh Sean, if you're going to hide behind a woman's skirts, it should be one like good ol' mom, who has a more ample one.
It's a mystery as to why The View's resident right winger Elizabeth H. is vehement on this point. I saw Hannity on a national television show seven days ago, if Fox counts. He told Charles Groden he unequivocally would - do water boarding! It's not as if Keith Olbermann was eavesdropping, as you've implied with your comment that he wasn't part of the conversation, ergo not allowed to speak, and oh so much more!
BTW...was there an answer to Joy Behar's question asking why Hannity isn't doing it - or is she not allowed to speak either?
We'd all respect you more Sean, if you admitted that it is scary. I'm sure money would still be donated to charity in your name.
Gold Plated Bitch: Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R, N.Carolina).
I've rarely had a heavier heart after seeing a Worst Person Video. The occasion was the implementation of a Mathew Sheppard Hate Crimes Bill. Was it sheer ignorance, or the hatred and evil of a bald faced liar that gave Foxx the nerve to stand in front of everyone, including Matthew's mother and call him a "robber"
caught in the commission of a robbery! You see, if it's a robbery, she's correct that it's a "hoax" to use his name in a sexual hate crime bill.
Everyone ELSE knows the unspeakable cruelty and sexual brutality used to torture him to death and why, as admitted by his killers, because he was GAY.
Perhaps Foxx can do ONE thing right, apologize to Mathew's mother and resign!
Silver and Slidin': Rupert Murdoch. Most newspapers suffered a minor drop in readership, around 7 per cent.Rupe's New York Post was broadsided with the biggest loss by a landslide, 20.5 per cent, now that's worth a prize! Reasons may vary,
depending upon what you're reading or watching.
Bronze Brain: Michelle Bachman! Will we ever tire of her endless gaffes? I should bite my tongue, I believe I said something similar just yesterday. I'm almost there, but there's more! You'll have to watch Keith's video to see how it all eventually ties into the classic school escape movie "Ferris Beuhler's Day Off."
"Ferris! Anyone? Anyone?"
Lately, any story about O'Reilly consists of connect the crazy dots. I'll spare us all by not following them all. Today, he started with an editorial cartoon "from the NYT" , which was never printed there, but was found on Fox! How to explain
that? Never mind, he never will. The important thing is that it proved (to him) that The Times, and others are on a jihad. Yes, they want to show the US as a gulog which tortures innocents, while scheming with major corporations. Enter Karl Rove as the calm voice of sanity, sent to reel O'Reilly in, it appeared that Rove lost the shout down. One point for Crazy Fox.
Fox's Brian Kilmeade With the statement of the month,in my opinion! Let us just say that for some reason he's weighed in on whether John McCain should be allowed to speak on torture. You truly must watch his tortured logic as to why..but
don't be taking a sip of your favorite beverage when you do, I warned you!
Minn. Congresswoman Michelle Bachman. Can we ever get enough of her? In a word, yes. She will be such a boon to the House GOP Energy Solutions Group! Lest you've forgotten,her screed on the innocence of Carbon Dioxide, it is repeated here. Indeed, she is a natural for this appointment!
I think it's terrific that the very clever and talented Stephen Colbert has achieved the nearly impossible. With his squeaky clean, conservative, flag
waving look and talk, he has managed to poke fun at the very group he blends into like a chameleon. The best to watch are those who have never seen nor read about his show before their interview, what a Mr. Toad's Wild Ride they're on!
All the while, you know he's having fun at their expense, without showing any disrespect.
I was surprised to learn that he's gained a devoted conservative audience along with the liberal ! A recent study finds that though he is popular with both, the conservatives feel that he is only joking, in other words, they're not "in" on it, and feel he is, in truth - a conservative icon.
Hey, wait a minute! Perhaps the clever Colbert is even craftier than we thought, the liberals feel he's on "our side"! Maybe WE aren't in on it. Then again, perhaps I've been reading too many Fox conspiracy stories!
Isn't it the ultimate in hard manual labor, to have robots doing all of the heavy lifting! As one Swedish factory worker with broken ribs found out, when one needs fixing, they're a little more dangerous than re-programming a PC.
James Howard is the fall guy. Ask him what it's like to suddenly exit down a 9 ft manhole!
FOX SNOOZE ALERT! CHAOS IS SPREADING.SAVAGE,Beck/Boortz all yelp, why haven't we closed the border! They're all sure that they'd like YOU to believe that it's
a terrorist attack!
Even Democrats are plotting to spread the disease, as it turns out they have in the past..or not. Thanks to Michelle Bachman, they're accused of spreading this flu, whenever they're in office! "In 1976 we had it and a Dem in office." Sorry Michelle, your years are confused, and we still had a Republican, nice try though!
I doubt it will matter to the conspiracy nuts with their own agendas, but Margaret Carlson and Keith discuss the real scope of the disease and reasons for it, which are so much more pedestrian than the theories the conservative gang have dreamed up.
Michelle Malkin seems to feel ill used when she's accused of being "Raaaaacist" well toots, there's little room for dispute here!
I made a point to listen to this disgusting human being today to find out how he would handle one of the most respected Republicans in Congress, Senator Arlen Spector, switching over to the Democratic party. Everything you need to know about Rush Limbaugh
But first I was treated to hearing that our President is an American hating socialist, that he is far worse than Mafia boss Don Corleone, that President Obama ordered black teenagers to be murdered in a little boat, that the President brought the Swine Flu to American on Air Force One, that President Obama sent Air Force One out to get some footage of the Statue of Liberty for his 2012 campaign. And that was just the first minute or so.
By the time he got to the Senator Spector issue I was wondering how anyone in their right mind could listen to this guy. Its bad, its like some sort of bloviating evil. And when you put his image behind the words it becomes nauseating.
It is really nothing new, its been going on for over 20 years; Rush laughing at and making fun of people who die from AIDS, the homeless, the mentally ill, those with Parkinsons' Disease, the poor, the out of work, and above all anyone who cares about anything other than themselves. A coward picking on the most troubled and the least able to respond to his tripe, and rubbing their noses in it.
Three divorces, no children, morphine addict, liar, slanderer, bigot and not to forget a big fat idiot as the Republcian Party spokesman for family values.
So many adjectives come to mind: Cowardly, repulsive, disgusting, repellent, revolting, vile, abhorrent, foul, offensive, repugnant, odious, obnoxious... As you listen it suddenly dawns on you. That those adjectives define his listeners! He is just making money on giving such people what they want to hear.
Mr Limbaugh down played the GOP loss of Arlen Spector, he said it didn't matter, that it was only politics, that Spector wanted to get elected in 2010 and could not beat right-wing looneytoon Pat Tooney in the GOP primary. Wow, what insight! That's what Arlen Spector said!
But the kicker was Rush advising all Republcians LIKE Arlen Spector (all reasonable people) to leave the GOP and become Democrats. He said thats' the way to win and help the party and the nation!
Everything Limbaugh has done or said since Barack Obama won the election last November has benefited the Democrats and hurt the Republicans, he is batting 1000. Why is he doing it?
a) His ego is so large he actually believes his own tripe? b) He is only working for the money and could care less about the GOP? c) He is trying to get the President to go to Dallas? d) He is an agent provocatuer working for the DNC? e) He is only doing what any unloved fat ugly selfish piece of shit would do?
I can't help put assume Jason Jones - with his Swine Flu conspiracy theory and need to shoot carrier John Oliver in the forehead - came directly from a Republican sponsored Tea Party featuring Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity.
Ah Sean, you got yourself into this with your own big mouth on National TV. Some may recall that he's made light of waterboarding. Discussing it with anti-waterboarding guest, Charles Groden, Hannity said that he'd do it. Then that he'd do it for charity for military families.
Hannity has yet to respond to Keith Olbermann's offer to donate money to charity for each second he can endure this pansy ass walk in the park, as Hannity implies it is. Olbermann talks with former Army interrogator and SERE school instructor Mike Ritz who has actually performed this form of torture, about the effects of waterboarding. Ritz says that even though someone who knows waterboarding will end (as would Hannity) has it much better than the usual prisoner, he could still get Hannity to proclaim that Olbermann's Countdown is his favorite show. No competition intended, the point is, people will say anything, believe it or not, during torture.
The problem was that the photo-op was known only to the military and police, who were told not to tell the public why a low flying 747 followed by two F-16 fighters was circling the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Center. Of course it cause mass panic in lower Manhattan. Caldera's excuse...It was "Pre cooridinated and planned with everyone involved". Not quite "everyone" Scooter, and good luck in your next job.
Silver B.S. Award: Rush Limbaugh's completely false, and inflamitory remarks about the "young black teenagers" AKA relentless Somali Pirates came home to bite his ample ass today when the rescued captain spoke out!
Bronze: Glenn Beck is all a'twitter with conspiracy imaginings! This Swine Flu could be a method of promoting Obama's Health and Services person into office rapidly...never mind the hearings...It Could! Who knows, maybe there isn't Swine Flu, maybe they planted it....I mean the possibilities are endless!
Presenting the official Oklahoma rock song, "Do You Realize" written and sung by an Oklahoma band, The Flaming Lips, though it took an official Governors' executive order! Legislators barely voted it out. Why, for one..Rep. Corey
Holland was offended by the T-shirts worn by a band member once, a present from the frontman Ivan's wife. It bore a hammer and sickle, tradional of the Communist Party. Ivans was offended at being thought un-American. Next, Mike Reynolds
denounced Coyne for using a bad word. Oh the horror!
The band is appreciative of the Governor's intervention. Previously, on Friday, frontman Coynes had given an interview to the Tulsa World Newspaper
"Me, I just say look, it's a little minority of some small-minded religious wackos who think they can tell people what kind of T-shirts and what kind of
music they can listen to, and the smart, rational, reasonable people of Oklahoma are never going to buy into that,"
I'm very glad to say that the rational and reasonable prevailed this time!
Of all places, South Carolina is experiencing a public relations boon for atheists. Secular Humanists of the Lowcountry recently put up a large billboard exclaiming "Don’t Believe in God? You Are Not Alone". The sign was in response to the South Carolina Legislature passing a law allowing State sponsored Christian license plates.
Instead of the expected angst, the group had to find a larger venue for its meetings as hundreds crowded outside the doors of the small meeting room. South Carolina Atheists Growing NYT
Over the past 20 years the number of people claiming no religion has doubled, from 7% in 1990 to 15% in 2008. It is the tip of an iceberg of millions of Americans who are afraid - for many reasons - to admit they are unable to swallow the Kool Aid.
If one were to include those millions along with the tens of millions looking for an organized religion void of ignorance and intolerance it could very well become the majority coalition in America. A new religion, for after all, Unitarian Universalist churches are filled with boring people who read books and talk about stuff and just don't have the room. The Kick! Religion Page
But I have a warning which I hope I can explain by turning on the wayback machine.
It was the day I reported for duty after being drafted, before the train ride to Missouri for Basic Training. I was in a large room with others filling out the last series of forms. One of these was for Dog Tags, the last line of whichasked for my religion.My answer would then be stamped into the steel I would wearing around my neck for the next few years. I put "n/a."
A few minutes after I had turned it in, an aging bald man with lots of yellow stripes on his arm (I later learned that the yellow stripes did not mean cowardly as one would think, but that he was a First Sergeant) pulled up a chair next to me and asked what religion my parents were.
I answered "Catholic."
He advised we put "Roman Catholic" in that field.
"No", we replied. He shook his head and made his pitch.
"Listen kid, you are going to Missouri, you are a Yankee who will soon be housed with so many Southern Crackers there won't be enough cheese in the world to make it palatable. If they get wind of your cute little "n/a" there, you will soon learn what a "blanket party" is. [This was well before the movieFull Metal Jacket so I needed that explained.]
I still balked on the free expression issue.
The 1st Sergeant went on. "Where do you think you will end up kid? You want to ensure that Vietnam is your final destination? Then let it be known in combat that you are an atheist. You know the old saying? 'There are no atheists in a fox hole?' Well that's only true because well meaning Christians shoot all the atheists in foxholes."
I was still having trouble believing him.
He went on, "I can assure you that one Southern Christian Boy or another will frag your butt if word gets out that the Yankee from Wisconsin is an Atheist. Especially if you are in a leadership position. His explanation that "frag" meant shoot your own guys in the back during combat and no one would ever know, registered as logical to me.
I acquiesced and added "Roman Catholic" to the form.
I had been somewhat of a wiseass is high school with a barely "C" average and working in a factory when I was drafted. I was not a week into Basic Training when I was pegged for Officer Training School, assigned as platoon leader, and was called Einstein by my drill sergeant.
That experience was repeated 30 years ago when I moved to Texas. Overnight my IQ rose 50 points. Relatively speaking.
I am still not quite sure if that boost to the ego compensated for the thirty years I have been banging my head on the table in disbelief of just about everything that happens down here in Dumbutt.

Some advice about red hot dumpster love from Auntie Em Ladies. While it must be irresistible in certain circumstances...for those of you with nasal problems, or lack of self esteem/ impulse control who often describe yourselves as "wild impetuous and livin'life!" Vomiting after this proclamation isn't unusual.
Ladies, if that hot sexy man can't wait to tear off your clothes, first, be sure to look for tell-tale signs that he's not a rapist. Secondly, ask yourself if this is an impetuous and wild variation of your normal sex life, - or last and likely, that he's not just too cheap or broke to buy a hotel. If the latter is the truth, your entire life could end up being impetuous and dumpsterish..and
not in a passion-filled way. Meanwhile, try not to let this happen to you.
The call went out in Saanich, BC that someone heard noises coming from a large dumpster. The rest of the dumpsters are standing silently, and yours is bouncing and rolling around, with loud screams emitting from it, there's a chance it could draw attention. Fortunately, it was for cardboard, and not other refuse. (that is an entirely different set of issues). The officer shouted to the people inside, but when he got no response, he lifted the lid to find a nude couple
"intertwined and oblivious to his presence."
The 30 yr-old woman, and the 26 yr-old man were ordered out of the dumpster, after dressing. It was an abrupt end to the evening, as police took Romeo away on an unrelated matter, and Jules was told to hoof it on home.

Miss Arizona was not going to make the same mistake as Miss California by giving an answer which has anything to do with the question asked! This babe picked and memorized one safe topic. She can't be faulted that the question asked had nothing to do with her answer! I'm guessing that if you asked her which way to the Ladie's room, she'd have launched into it by sheer habit.
A little added delight are the intense dog groomers, and a clip from the reality show "I Love Money Too" to remind you of why "You Don't Love This Crap Too."
Carrie Prejean, Miss California decrys gay marriage. She is Christian, she's hot looking, she's stupid... Looks like the GOP has another candiate for President!
After a few weeks of piddling around with different formats, Bill Maher has returned to the old formula; Monologue, three guests and the best damn New Rules ever done. Lookout Kenny Loggins and Amy Winehouse!
While the vast majority of us worry about holding on to our jobs and homes, trying not to get sick, keeping our cars running, worried about the environment, wars and our standing in the world, the Republicans are mostly concerned with:
A rise of income taxes from 36% to 39% on the very wealthy two years from now. The President doesn't give well thought-out gifts to other leaders. Michelle Obama's shows way too much of her upper arms. The President sometimes uses a teleprompter. The President's Birth Certificate is fake. Climate Change is a socialist hoax. Evolution is a communist hoax. The President treats all other leaders politely. Europeans like him! OH MY GOD! And most importantly, one he missed, the cost of ammo! (primarily the police vest penetrating kind) as OUR TROOPS will soon need to be shot and killed rather than SUPPORTED.
And the kicker of course is that all this is not some little crazyass group of extremists but the once dominate Republican Party.
I may have been too harsh judging all lawmen by the taser-crazed brutes we often see dropping grannies. Just maybe, there are bound to be some good guys, and Ms
Vampire was fortunate she lucked into one.
You know, if everyone was REQUIRED (strapped down in a chair with their eyelids forced open) to watch just one evening of Fox News or listen to just one afternoon of Rush Limbaugh, the GOP would not be withering away, it would be long and buried.
