Tuesday Open Thread [1.31.12]
It is a slow news day and I am again slammed at work. Tonight, Mitt Romney will win the Florida primary and be the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party. Newt Gingrich takes issue with those, including myself, that say that. “You mean those who said I was dead in June? Those who said I was dead in December? They are about as accurate as they were the last two times they were wrong.” – Newt Gingrich, quoted by ABC News. He said the race would go on for “six or eight months” and then added: “unless Romney drops out earlier.”
Gingrich is a narcissitic fascist meglomaniac who literally thinks he is Churchill/Reagan/Thatcher reincarnated and rolled into one, which is why probably why he is a litle portly.
When Gingrich drops out in a few weeks, all he will be saying is how much he has always supported Romney and how Romney has modeled his career after the fine example of Newt. The media wont question any of it.
on another note, i got Evan Q’s pathetic door hangar. To my new 11th district neighbors, let’s do all we can against this idiot!
You can roll Merckel into that Newt mongrel wannabe-mix as well. So much for Newt, although he might end up being your Vice President.
Now we have Joe Biden running off at the mouth, to a meeting of judges, about something he knows nothing about: Manufacturing. Joe says a lot of the manufacturers who fled for greener labor pastures will be returning to the USA. “Companies are waking up to rediscover the protections provided by the US court system”, says Our Bum. I think they discovered that back in the 70s and 80s with the Workers Comp, Unemployment Comp, and Unions; Joe. His current example is Siemens expanding in North Carolina. I wonder if he know Siemens is a European company. He also cites “our deep commitment to the rule of law in our courts”. (I think he needed to wipe some shit off his nose after that line.)
Corporate media lied again. This time at Occupy Oakland. A 28 minute tape proves the protestors were walking peacefully for over one mile, when the police surrounded them, kettled them and started screaming “submit your all under arrest”. Some ran over a fence, some were permitted to enter the YMCA, those who couldnt escape were beated, gassed and arrested. While in jail, these goons put tear gas into their cells, denied medications, people were having convulsions, with police screaming “die”. daily kos also has an article on this. Notice the media even the most progressive are asking “is the occupy movement dead”? The occupy movement is an idea that cannot die they are simply preparing online for a spring offensive.
Too good not to share – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/31/rich-kids-for-romney-not-a-lot-of-money_n_1245199.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009
It looks like a majority of Florida Republicans voted against the eventual nominee.
Ladies! We need more legislative efforts like this one — an amendment to one of those overreaching ultrasound before abortion bill that requires men to get a rectal exam and take a cardiac stress test before getting erectile dysfunction medication.
Seriously, this needs to be Standard Response to those bills trying to control women’s lives.
I just fell in love with that idea.
