Wednesday Open Thread
Welcome to your Wednesday open thread. Or should I call it Wednesday masquerading as Tuesday? It’s a slow day around here, a lot of people are on vacation this week. What’s going on in your neck of the woods?
Mitt Romney goes for the impressive triple flip flop.
Oh, for crying out loud. After making the bogus claim repeatedly for weeks, Romney was asked, “You continue to say that the economy is worse, but unemployment is lower than it was in 2009, the stock market was tumbling and it’s now above 12,000, and it is growing slowly, we just had a two percent [GDP] gain this last quarter. So how can you continue to say that things are worse when they really aren’t worse?” He replied, “I didn’t say that things are worse. What I said was that the economy hasn’t turned around.”
To claim that Romney was only responding to a question about the stock market is obviously not true. But just as important, if he was only referring to Wall Street, then why does Romney think the economy “hasn’t turned around,” since the Dow has nearly doubled over the last two years?
What we have here, ladies and gentleman, is a true rarity. Behold, Mitt Romney has taken campaign deception to the Inception level — only instead of a dream within a dream with in another dream, we have Romney lying, then lying about the lie, then lying about having lied about the other lie.
A three-tiered lie. It’s rather impressive, in its own mendacious way.
Romney has been running for president almost continuously for 5 years. You’d think he’d be experienced enough by now to avoid these errors.
A former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, member of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Republican executive-committee chairman in his district until 2000, Duke has a significant following online. His videos go viral. This month, he’s launching a tour of 25 states to explore how much support he can garner for a potential presidential bid. He hasn’t considered running for serious office since the early ’90s, when he won nearly 40 percent of the vote in his bid for Louisiana governor. But like many “white civil rights advocates,” as he describes himself to The Daily Beast, 2012 is already shaping up to be a pivotal year.
Former (and current) Neo Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members, neo-Confederates, and other representatives of the many wings of the “white nationalist” movement are starting to file paperwork and print campaign literature for offices large and small, pointing to rising unemployment, four years with an African-American president, and rampant illegal immigration as part of a growing mound of evidence that white people need to take a stand.
The Tea Party is totally not racist. I don’t know why people keep saying that!

Wait. I thought that these were the Ron Paul supporters!
Anybody following the President’s Town Hall on Twitter? There is a live stream of the event (?) at whitehouse.gov.
When will the upper middle class white man ever get a break in this country?
Wall Street Journal:
SAN FRANCISCO—A federal appeals court ordered the U.S. government on Wednesday to immediately cease enforcing the longstanding ban on openly gay members of the military.
In a brief two-page order, a three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy must be lifted now that the Obama administration has concluded it’s unconstitutional to treat gay Americans differently under the law.
Dan Woods, the lawyer representing Log Cabin Republicans, said that unless the administration appeals the order to the U.S. Supreme Court, “don’t ask, don’t tell is over.”
Like Red China and North Korea, the GOP loves prison labor: http://bit.ly/ndQW8G
Not at all sure what this is all about, but I believe Delaware Liberal got mentioned in one of the disjointed rants by your favorite talk show host at WGMD. It’s titled “The Attack of the Libero-Marxist”
Here’s a excerpt which, for some reason, kind of reminds me of Jason330:
“It strikes me the only knowledge the writer at Delaware Liberal has of Southern Delaware are the barnyard sex tourism trips it made here in the past.”
Furthermore, it would appear that the delusional douchebag inadvertently left the comments open for a change.

Enjoy.
Interesting screed by Curley. Guess he was bored. I don’t think we’ve talked about Super Cop or Super Patriot in months.
WTF is that screaming moron on about? Must be a slow day since he seems to have to make stuff up to talk about.
But I tell everyone interested in the Southern Delaware barnyard sex tours to save their money until Bill Colley stops being the tour guide. And since Colley has the market cornered for said — well, there are some things that are Just Not Done.
I think it is inappropriate to talk about the barnyard sexual background of Sussex County right wing extremists. It’s not nice to talk about the quality of someone’s parentage and progeny.
@DANA – best post ever!! – LOL Loving it!!
they come complete – with special suspenders, boots and velcro gloves (to hold the sheep still)
these items are available at any 9-12 meeting you care to attend – usually at the Millsboro Amvets or Fire Hall – maybe WGMD will have them available for purchase at their web site…
@MJ – best watch out MJ – seems Bill Colley has been scoping out our Sheriff Christopher’s ” block of granite’ body – all that hardness has him hyperventilating again – Gee Sheriff, it seems Bill either fancies you or the sheep…seeing as he cannot seem to keep an real, live woman for long. you might come in handy for the dry spells.
Got that Sig Sauer ready?? Curley be a commin’ for ya…winter’s gonna set in soon…
barnyard sex tourism…that’s a new low, even for that scum bag – funny how he thinks there are no DL contributors or readers or supporters in Sussex.
Doesn’t Curley’s last girlfriend call herself “Angry White Woman?”
We’re going spelunking today!
oh – so “angry white woman” was “the red-head” too
well if I let Curley into my shorts I’d be an angry white woman too – the red hair I can always buy- but there is no coming back from letting fat boy bounce off your body…..UUUGGGGHHHH GROSS! can you IMAGINE – there isnt enough shower gel to wash that nastiness away.
seems he prefers sheep tho, physically and intellectually (pun intended) – Jeff’s :granite hardness: will have to wait until the sheep get sheared… 🙂
All this talk of Bill Colley with barnyard animals just riles up the animal rights activist in me.
Just found this out! The instant the Fed Defaults on August 2nd, the FDIC guarantee on $100,000 is void. Each of our banks is good only up to the assets it has in reserve.
Colley mentioned the thread at DL again. He’s on with Russ Murphy, founder of 9-12 Delaware. He’s waiting for your calls.
I sorta remember pointing out that one of those nit wits was the Delaware representative at some secessionist states right’s Klan meeting which featured that Alaska terror cell guy as a speaker.
But the writer of the WGMD post doesn’t even have decency to link to the DL post that he is talking about. effing Noobs.
Barnyard sex tours? But didn’t y’all stop at the Hudsons that one time?
