I feel so bad about not blogging but, well, I have nothing to say. Things are quiet, there's this lull between the election of The Anointed One and the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it.
I've already commented on his major selections for his cabinet and addressed my concerns (especially about Susan Rice and the elevation of the evil United Nations by a man who sees himself as a "citizen of the world" to cabinet status.
What's to say about Blogo? except that I feel myself exceedingly lucky that somehow we ended up with the ONE leftist politician from Chicago who ISN'T corrupt. I mean, what are the odds of THAT?
Although filled with trepidation and sadness, I am glad to see Israel taking care of business and eliminating more bad people from the planet. Sad that there need to be civilian casualties but that is the price paid for the civilians supporting their terrorist leaders. Those who hide amongst civilians and target civilians cannot expect to have their citizens left unscathed. Sad that Palestinians hate the infidel more than they love their own people.

Yas, the Kike Reich has struck again.

This "shitty, little counry" is the curse of the world and is hated more with each passing day.
What's going to stop the cycle of violence? I'm someone who thinks most people just want to live their lives and raise there kids in peace. I look at India, specifically Ghandi and think, there's got to be principled non-violent ways to come to a resolution. So back to my original question: What's going to stop the cycle.
Look forward to useful comments. :-D

Nice.
Who's got cleanup duty on this site?
That's easy...the US has to quit enabling the Zionist right wing in Israel. Take a truly even handed approach to the problem and force an agreement on the area which removes the thieving settlers and puts Israel back inside its original borders...which is much more than they deserve since "their" land is stolen...but that would do it for now.
The "shitty little country" remark was made by the French ambassador to the UK and reflects pretty much what most people in the world think of these thugs...when they have the guts to speak openly.

Bush Winks at Israel’s Slaughter in Gaza,
Obama and Clinton Are Silent
By Matthew Rothschild
President-elect Barack Obama and Secretary of State-to-be Hillary Clinton were shamefully silent in the first hours after the attack. Bush’s reaction, and the non-reaction by Obama and Clinton, underscores the point that Hanan Ashrawi made on Saturday. “Israel has gotten used to not being held accountable and to being a country that is above the law,” said the Palestinian legislator and human rights activist. She called the bombings a “massacre.” Continue

Today the Israeli army launched its long awaited strikes against the Gazan people, an unarmed, captive civilian population.

How about useful "constructive" comments?
What's so threatening about discussing the issue without all the charged language? If it's not Israel it's Kashmir, or Northern Ireland or Georgia.
Here's my thought.
I think it's the kids, if you can over time tone down the rhetoric and teach children that people are people then there's a chance.
But of course this would require adults to decide bite their tongues and not pass on the language of hate.
As a test lets see if responses to this post can meet the challenge. :-)
Isreal needs to do what Jordan did. Look up "Black September". A time when King Hussain slaughtered thousands of the palestinian rats when they were causing all kinds of the same shit in Jordan. That and make laws like Jordan does:
"Jordan has a law that states that any Palestinian may immigrate and obtain Jordanian citizenship, but must remit his/her Palestinian claim. Palestinians are not allowed to purchase land unless they give up their Palestinian citizenship."
They should have to assimilate into the free culture of Isreal, or leave. If they don't want to leave, they should be killed. The Palestinian culture is poisonous. That's why nobody wants them.

How Can Anyone Believe There is 'Progress' in The Middle East?
By Robert Fisk
Let's kick off with the man who is not going to change the Middle East, Barack Obama, who last week, with infinite predictability, became Time's "person of the year". But buried in a long and immensely tedious interview inside the magazine, Obama devotes just one sentence to the Arab-Israeli conflict: "And seeing if we can build on some of the progress, at least in conversation, that's been made around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be a priority."

Study: Teen virginity pledges ineffective.
Study: Teen virginity pledges ineffective.
Self-same study admits virginity pledgers defer sex for nearly two years longer than non-pledgers and that they're 50% less likely to contract STDs.
It all comes down to the definition of "effective"... as the Left demands PERFECTION in every idea but those of their own origin.
But for the sarcasm, this almost sounds like Socrates' "apology"....
One of the myriad, amusing fiascos by Republicans this year was their latest attempt at swaying Jewish voters away from the Democratic party, especially in Florida, this time with accusations that Obama, among others, is weak on Israel, and hints that he was a Muslim.
The result: just 1 in 5 Jewish voters picked McCain. Perhaps the fact that there are only three Republican Jews in Congress (versus 42 Democrats) should have been a hint that there was far more work to do there than simply brandishing the specter of Islam in the White House. And that the party's rush to out-Christian itself is probably unlikely to appeal to people who are, well, not Christian, including Jews, Muslims, and the rapidly growing population of agnostics, to name a few.
And the only way the Ridiculous Right can make their claims is with LYING as the would be virgins actually take part in MORE risky behaviour!!!:
Premarital Abstinence Pledges Ineffective, Study Finds
Teenagers Who Make Such Promises Are Just as Likely to Have Sex, and Less Likely to Use Protection, the Data Indicate
By Rob Stein
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, December 29, 2008
Teenagers who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are just as likely to have premarital sex as those who do not promise abstinence and are significantly less likely to use condoms and other forms of birth control when they do, according to a study released today.
The new analysis of data from a large federal survey found that more than half of youths became sexually active before marriage regardless of whether they had taken a "virginity pledge," but that the percentage who took precautions against pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases was 10 points lower for pledgers than for non-pledgers.
"Taking a pledge doesn't seem to make any difference at all in any sexual behavior," said Janet E. Rosenbaum of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, whose report appears in the January issue of the journal Pediatrics. "But it does seem to make a difference in condom use and other forms of birth control that is quite striking."
"This study again raises the issue of why the federal government is continuing to invest in abstinence-only programs," said Sarah Brown of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. "What have we gained if we only encourage young people to delay sex until they are older, but then when they do become sexually active -- and most do well before marriage -- they don't protect themselves or their partners?"
By 2001, Rosenbaum found, 82 percent of those who had taken a pledge had retracted their promises, and there was no significant difference in the proportion of students in both groups who had engaged in any type of sexual activity, including giving or receiving oral sex, vaginal intercourse, the age at which they first had sex, or their number of sexual partners. More than half of both groups had engaged in various types of sexual activity, had an average of about three sexual partners and had had sex for the first time by age 21 even if they were unmarried.
As a state senator, Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko's successful bid to get more than $14 million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens.
The deal included $855,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama's former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama's state Senate district.
Obama's letters, written nearly nine years ago, for the first time show the Democratic presidential hopeful did a political favor for Rezko -- a longtime friend, campaign fund-raiser and client of the law firm where Obama worked -- who was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business under Gov. Blagojevich.
The letters appear to contradict a statement last December from Obama, who told the Chicago Tribune that, in all the years he's known Rezko, "I've never done any favors for him.''
On Tuesday, Bill Burton, press secretary for Obama's presidential campaign, said the letters Obama wrote in support of the development weren't intended as a favor to Rezko or Davis.
"This wasn't done as a favor for anyone," Burton said in a written statement. "It was done in the interests of the people in the community who have benefited from the project.
"I don't know that anyone specifically asked him to write this letter nine years ago," the statement said. "There was a consensus in the community about the positive impact the project would make and Obama supported it because it was going to help people in his district. . . . They had a wellness clinic and adult day-care services, as well as a series of social services for residents. It's a successful project. It's meant a lot to the community, and he's proud to have supported it.''
The development, called the Cottage View Terrace apartments, opened five years ago at 4801 S. Cottage Grove, providing 97 apartments for low-income senior citizens.
Asked about the Obama letters, Rezko's attorney, Joseph Duffy, said Tuesday, "Mr. Rezko never spoke with, nor sought a letter from, Senator Obama in connection with that project."
Davis couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday.
Since announcing his presidential bid, Obama has faced repeated questions about his 17-year relationship with Rezko, one of his earliest political contributors, who has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Obama.
Rezko backed Obama's election to the Illinois Senate in 1996, his successful re-election bids and his 2004 election to the U.S. Senate.
Two years ago, the two men were involved in a real estate deal that Obama later apologized for, calling it "boneheaded'' and a "mistake'' because the transaction occurred while Rezko was widely known to be under federal investigation. Rezko's wife paid full price for a vacant lot in Chicago's historic Kenwood district on the same day Obama bought the mansion next door from the same property owner for $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife subsequently sold a sliver of the land to Obama.
Obama's relationship with Rezko dates to the senator's days as a student at Harvard Law School, when Rezko offered him a job, which Obama turned down.
After graduation, Obama returned to Chicago and joined Davis' small law firm -- then known as Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland -- which specialized in helping developers build housing for the poor. Five of those deals included Rezko's company, Rezmar Corp. Those Rezmar projects ran into trouble. Some buildings ended up being boarded up. Some went into foreclosure.
While Obama served in the Illinois Senate, he continued to work for the law firm, which Davis left in 1997 to become a developer.
Davis soon went into business with Rezko, creating a company called New Kenwood LLC to build the seven-story apartment building for senior citizens on a vacant stretch of land once occupied by a gas station at 48th and Cottage Grove. The city of Chicago owned the land -- nearly two acres tainted by lead, benzene and other toxic chemicals.
Davis is a member of the Chicago Plan Commission. He was originally appointed to the commission in 1991 by his friend, Mayor Daley. Davis, like Rezko, has been a prolific campaign fund-raiser for politicians including Daley and Obama.
Soon after they incorporated New Kenwood in 1998, Davis and Rezko got letters of support from elected officials -- Ald. Toni Preckwinkle (4th) and state Rep. Lou Jones (D-Chicago), whose districts included the proposed project.
New Kenwood LLC also got letters of support from Obama, who represented a nearby Senate district.
"I am writing in support of the New Kenwood LLC's proposal to build a ninety-seven unit apartment building at 48th and Cottage Grove for senior citizens,'' Obama wrote in separate letters, each dated Oct. 28, 1998, to city and state housing officials. "This project will provide much needed housing for Fourth Ward citizens.''
At the time he wrote the letters, Obama was also a lawyer with Miner Barnhill & Galland, the law firm Davis formerly headed. Among the firm's clients were several companies owned by Davis and Rezko. The firm did not represent New Kenwood.
Davis and Rezko hired Daley & George, the law firm of the mayor's brother Michael, to help them get $3.1 million from bonds issued by the city of Chicago.
Rezko and Davis paid the city $1 for the land and spent more than $100,000 to clean it up, including the removal of an underground storage tank. Some tainted land was left behind, but state environmental officials approved construction after Rezko and Davis agreed to cover the polluted areas with parking lots, sidewalks or three feet of dirt, records show.
The $14.6 million Cottage View Terrace was funded entirely by city, state and federal taxpayers.
The project included $855,000 in development fees for New Kenwood. Records don't show how Davis and Rezko split the money. Davis owned 51 percent of New Kenwood, Rezko 49 percent, according to the records.
In addition to the development fees, a separate Davis-owned company stood to make another $900,000 through federal tax credits.
Cottage View Terrace was supposed to be managed by Davis' longtime business partner, William Moorehead. But Moorehead said last week that his company was dumped before the apartments opened in 2002. The apartments are now managed by Urban Property Advisors, a company owned by Davis' son, Cullen Davis.
Moorehead is due to report to prison next month to begin serving a four-year sentence for stealing more than $1 million from the Robert Taylor Homes and other public housing projects he managed for the Chicago Housing Authority and the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department, as well as from two developments he co-owned with Davis near Cabrini-Green on the North Side.
The GOP's White Supremacy
The GOP has shriveled into a more uniform party than at any time since the 1960s. Like a restricted country club that would rather die than change, the Republican Party is marginalizing itself for the sake of the white men who run it. "Barack The Magic Negro" and Palm Beach aryanists are just the more bizarre manifestations of a party that has wallowed for so long in the privileges of its white male supremacy that it does not even realize that everyone has left the plantation, and they are not coming back.
Hmmm, no mention today that the judge is a Democrat... I wonder why? ... NOT!
ALBANY - The state's highest court Monday blocked a newly-elected Manhattan judge from taking office because of charges she violated campaign finance laws.
The Court of Appeals, in a one paragraph decision, indefinitely suspended Surrogate Court Judge-elect Nora Anderson with pay, effective Jan. 1.
"She's suspended until these criminal charges are resolved," said Gary Spencer, a court spokesman.
Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau has accused Anderson of financing her campaign for Surrogate Court with illegal contributions from Brooklyn trusts and estates lawyer Seth Rubenstein.
Anderson, 56, has pleaded not guilty.
Gus Newman, Anderson's lawyer, did not immediately respond to a telephone call seeking comment.
Newman has argued that Anderson is qualified to be a surrogate's judge, where she would preside over estates of the dead.
The Court of Appeals' ruled unanimously with one abstention to suspend Anderson. Chief Justice Judith Kaye, who is retiring, did not participate in the decision.
For a second I thought you were apologizing on behalf of your party for "Barack the Magic Negro", but alas, I am too much of an optimist.
If I had to put my money on it, I'd bet that you see nothing wrong with the "parody" released by a high-ranking member of your bigoted party.
"I feel so bad about not blogging but, well, I have nothing to say."
Hahaha...don't feel bad, moron; we're just here to laugh at you.
And you never have anything to say.

Kerik Pleads Not Guilty to New Charges
By Benjamin Weiser
WHITE PLAINS — Bernard B. Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner who at one point was President Bush’s top choice to lead the federal Department of Homeland Security, pleaded not guilty on Monday morning to new tax-fraud charges that were added to his public-corruption case.
As part of a superseding indictment, Mr. Kerik, 53, was arraigned on new allegations involving the preparation of false tax returns. Mr. Kerik was originally indicted in November 2007 on corruption, conspiracy and tax fraud charges.
The other accusations Mr. Kerik faces include charges that he failed to disclose a $250,000 loan financed by an unnamed Israeli businessman, and failed to report more than $500,000 in income from 1999, which includes three years as the city’s correction and police commissioners.
I'd bet that you see nothing wrong with the "parody" released by a high-ranking member of your bigoted party.
Have you heard it? The lyrics make the charge that DNC supporting liberals like yourself believe that conservative blacks are inauthentically black... a charge that would appear to be true given the liberal press' treatment of black conservatives from Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Condoleeza Rice, Clarence Thomas, Collin Powell, Michael Steele, etc. etc. etc... The only question seems to be why "Barack" somehow passed the liberal "black authenticity" test.
If I were a so-called progressive, I'd be embarrassed, because all the song does is quote the racist remarks of liberal reporters from the LA Times...
So look in the mirror, all you "magic negro" bigots and name-callers. You have met the enemy... and it is YOU!
One for all you post-modern liberal racists from the LA Times...
Obama the 'Magic Negro'
The Illinois senator lends himself to white America's idealized, less-than-real black man.
By David Ehrenstein, L.A.-based DAVID EHRENSTEIN writes about Hollywood and politics.
March 19, 2007
AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters — musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House.
But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the "Magic Negro."
The Magic Negro is a figure of postmodern folk culture, coined by snarky 20th century sociologists, to explain a cultural figure who emerged in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education. "He has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist," reads the description on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro .
He's there to assuage white "guilt" (i.e., the minimal discomfort they feel) over the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history, while replacing stereotypes of a dangerous, highly sexualized black man with a benign figure for whom interracial sexual congress holds no interest.
As might be expected, this figure is chiefly cinematic — embodied by such noted performers as Sidney Poitier, Morgan Freeman, Scatman Crothers, Michael Clarke Duncan, Will Smith and, most recently, Don Cheadle. And that's not to mention a certain basketball player whose very nickname is "Magic."
Poitier really poured on the "magic" in "Lilies of the Field" (for which he won a best actor Oscar) and "To Sir, With Love" (which, along with "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," made him a No. 1 box-office attraction). In these films, Poitier triumphs through yeoman service to his white benefactors. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is particularly striking in this regard, as it posits miscegenation without evoking sex. (Talk about magic!)
The same can't quite be said of Freeman in "Driving Miss Daisy," "Seven" and the seemingly endless series of films in which he plays ersatz paterfamilias to a white woman bedeviled by a serial killer. But at least he survives, unlike Crothers in "The Shining," in which psychic premonitions inspire him to rescue a white family he barely knows and get killed for his trouble. This heart-tug trope is parodied in Gus Van Sant's "Elephant." The film's sole black student at a Columbine-like high school arrives in the midst of a slaughter, helps a girl escape and is immediately gunned down. See what helping the white man gets you?
And what does the white man get out of the bargain? That's a question asked by John Guare in "Six Degrees of Separation," his brilliant retelling of the true saga of David Hampton — a young, personable gay con man who in the 1980s passed himself off as the son of none other than the real Sidney Poitier. Though he started small, using the ruse to get into Studio 54, Hampton discovered that countless gullible, well-heeled New Yorkers, vulnerable to the Magic Negro myth, were only too eager to believe in his baroque fantasy. (One of the few who wasn't fooled was Andy Warhol, who was astonished his underlings believed Hampton's whoppers. Clearly Warhol had no need for the accouterment of interracial "goodwill.")
But the same can't be said of most white Americans, whose desire for a noble, healing Negro hasn't faded. That's where Obama comes in: as Poitier's "real" fake son.
The senator's famously stem-winding stump speeches have been drawing huge crowds to hear him talk of uniting rather than dividing. A praiseworthy goal. Consequently, even the mild criticisms thrown his way have been waved away, "magically." He used to smoke, but now he doesn't; he racked up a bunch of delinquent parking tickets, but he paid them all back with an apology. And hey, is looking good in a bathing suit a bad thing?
The only mud that momentarily stuck was criticism (white and black alike) concerning Obama's alleged "inauthenticty," as compared to such sterling examples of "genuine" blackness as Al Sharpton and Snoop Dogg. Speaking as an African American whose last name has led to his racial "credentials" being challenged — often several times a day — I know how pesky this sort of thing can be.
Obama's fame right now has little to do with his political record or what he's written in his two (count 'em) books, or even what he's actually said in those stem-winders. It's the way he's said it that counts the most. It's his manner, which, as presidential hopeful Sen. Joe Biden ham-fistedly reminded us, is "articulate." His tone is always genial, his voice warm and unthreatening, and he hasn't called his opponents names (despite being baited by the media).
Like a comic-book superhero, Obama is there to help, out of the sheer goodness of a heart we need not know or understand. For as with all Magic Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes. If he were real, white America couldn't project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him.
As it turns out.... "Yes they CAN!"
Hey, Barack passed the "smell test" by lying and throwing all the "authentic" negroes like Jeremiah Wright, Frank Marshall Davis, and even his own history of activism "under the bus"!
Evan, I enjoy reading your blog and it's always one of the 1st I check in hopes of finding a recent post. No apologies necessary for not writing lately, as sometimes we just need some "down-time."

Evan,
I must say that you are stout of heart to allow all of the vermin play in your comments. I too have retreated from heavy blogging and the Jew hating cretins spewing ignorance in here certainly are little enticement to resume. But then, I would just delete the fools.
Israel will prevail, she shall live, conquer and thrive - and "palestine" be damned. The so-called "palestinians" - islamic jihadists all- will, in the end, devour themselves.
Only liberals like me believe in magic negroes like Barack!
What does Zee stand for...Zionazi?
The entire world is horrified by these murdering scum AGAIN...and their lone enabler in the world is a weak, doddering giant...they can't last too much longer.
I can't wait for the end.
That Vicki Sayet thing was funny, too.
Racism splitting GOP as they seek new leadership: "The core play in the GOP playbook for 44 years has been the magic negro playbook," said Simon Rosenberg, head of Democratic organization NDN and one of the most well-versed party figures on racial politics. "They don't have another play or another playbook. Whether it is Willie Horton, or welfare queens and tax and spend, or the way they have dealt with immigration... they don't have a play in their playbook that doesn't start with the exploitation of racial divisions... They are going to have to reject 44 years of GOP politics in order to have any chance in the 21st
And the Jews hate them too...and won't even let fools likes Sayet and Zee kiss their asses.
Bush Legacy: Investors are preparing to close out the last three trading days of 2008 with Wall Street's worst performance since Herbert Hoover was president.century America."
What went wrong: Vanity Fair runs a must-read oral history of the Bush administration in which two key advisers say that it was Hurricane Katrina that ultimately broke the back of George W. Bush's presidency. 12/31
EVERYONE but the sick admit that the GOP run has been a disaster. They are all doing the post mortems now while morons like Sayet are still in denial.

RNC mulls accusing Bush of 'socialism'
Nick Juliano
Published: Tuesday December 30, 2008
The divisions taking hold among Republicans are becoming more severe as the party prepares to accuse its outgoing president of embracing "socialism."
The slur that conservatives were so fond of lobbing at Barack Obama during the presidential campaign is now being directed toward President Bush and GOP lawmakers who supported federal bailouts of the banking and auto industries.
At its meeting next month, the Republican National Committee is set to vote on a resolution formally opposing the bailouts, accusing Bush of helping nationalize the banks and taking "another dangerous step closer toward socialism," the Washington Times reports Tuesday.
"We can't be a party of small government, free markets and low taxes while supporting bailouts and nationalizing industries, which lead to big government, socialism and high taxes at the expense of individual liberty and freedoms," Solomon Yue, an Oregon member and co-sponsor of the resolution told the Times.
The resolution reads, in part:
"WHEREAS, the Bank Bailout Bill effectively nationalized the Nation's banking system, giving the United States non-voting warrants from participating financial institutions, and moving our free market based economy another dangerous step closer toward socialism; and WHEREAS, what was needed, and is still needed, to fix the banking industry is not a bailout, but rather a commitment to fiscal responsibility."
Republican leaders in both the House and Senate supported the Wall Street bailout, and GOP presidential candidate John McCain infamously "suspended" his campaign to return to Washington and whip up support for the bill. A Republican-led filibuster blocked the auto industry bailout in the Senate, but Bush decided to use some of the previously approved $700 billion to grant loans to the car companies.
During the campaign, accusations that Obama was a closet socialist proliferated on talk radio, conservative blogs and in McCain/Palin campaign speeches.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hep me; hep me!!
Dem's play race card to blackmail the people of Illinois...
Taking to the podium at the end of a bizarre, shambolic press conference in which Governor Rod Blagojevich sought to appoint Roland Burris to the US Senate, Congressman Bobby Rush dared white Democratic senators to block a black man from joining their ranks.
He urged people "not to hang or lynch the appointee as you try to castigate the appointer" and, after saying repeaedly that Burris would be the only African-American in the Senate, said that he believed no senator would want "to go on record to deny one African-American from being seated in the US Senate".
Rush is a former Black Panther who trounced Barack Obama in the 2000 Democratic primary when the then state senator challenged him for his House of Representatives seat.
The grinning Burris was told by Blagojevich - who policed the press conference - that "you're the senator". He appeared clueless about the money he'd donated to the governor, which will only add to the taint of the appointment.
As he left the room, Blagojevich echoed Rush, saying: "Feel free to castigate the appointer but don't lynch the appointee."
As a Democrat, I oppose the Kennedy coronation.
Many hard working NYawkers should be given the nod ahead of her.
However, I have no doubt that should she prevail in this, she will make a creditable Senator as she stands head and shoulders above the recent GOP bimbo bitch in intellect, education and character.
Rod Blagojevich's choice to fill Barack Obama's Senate seat, Roland Burris, helped raise money for the governor on multiple occasions.
Blagojevich's choice is already being met with a steep wave of skepticism, because the embattled Illinois Governor was caught by the feds allegedly trying to auction off the seat to the highest bidder. Burris' ties to Blagojevich, despite his recent criticisms of the governor, seem destined to tarnish his appointment even further.
The former Illinois Attorney General gave $4,500 to Blagojevich's campaign fund in the form of personal donations and donations from -- what appear to be -- him and his wife, according to Illinois State records. The most recent donation came on June 27, 2008, when the governor was knee-deep in charges of ethical misconduct.
Burris also attended high-end Blagojevich fundraisers on at least three separate occasions, according to a review of newspaper filings by the Huffington Post. Most recently, in July 2008, he was in a crowd of 1,000 at the Chicago's River East Art Center when Blagojevich -- beset by ethics scandals -- hosted one of six events to raise money for his campaign fund (which had suffered because of mounting legal bills).
In April 2006, Burris hosted a 3,000 person event in the main hall of Chicago's Field Museum. That event saw Blagojevich soliciting donations of $1,000 for "sponsors" $2,500 for "patrons," $5,000 for "benefactors" and $10,000 for "co-chairs," according to the invitation.
In July 2005, Burris was one of more than 1,000 people who attended Blagojevich's annual political fund-raiser. That year, the governor -- who had defeated Burris in the gubernatorial primary just three years earlier -- raised a reported $4 million.
That Burris showed up at these events and donated to the governor's campaign would not, under normal circumstances, be remarkable. Neither is the extent of his own donations, which are relatively paltry by Illinois standards. After all, Democrats help fellow Democrats. But Blagojevich was mired in ethics complaints at the time of the latter fundraisers. Moreover, the governor stands accused of attempting to sell the Illinois Senate seat in a pay-for-play scheme. To achieve complete legitimacy, anyone appointed to take Obama's seat will need to have offered no financial help whatsoever to the governor.
Burris, as noted, has been a recent critic of Blagojevich, calling on the governor to relinquish his post in light of his recent arrest. But he wasn't always that much of a thorn in his side. In March 2006, as the Chicago Sun-Times was reporting on growing criticism of the governor's political tactics, the former A.G. was quoted as saying:
"I can't see how anyone can say he is not governing," Burris said. "I think he is doing a helluva job."
Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there was the beautiful Princess Caroline who was part of one of the oldest royal families in the country -- a family that built its fortune on Hollywood investments and possibly bootlegging, and was plagued with tragedy and scandal -- but whose over-glorified name still held many in its hypnotic thrall. Yet Princess Caroline, despite her royal pedigree and family tradition of publicly serving themselves -- er, tradition of public service -- chose to live her life quietly, eschewing publicity. Despite earning a law degree, she stayed at home to raise her children, occasionally raising money for charitable causes and publishing a few books that sold more on name recognition than their literary quality.
Then one day, a hopeful heir to the throne of this modern-day Camelot came to Princess Caroline and asked for her help in pulling the sword out of the stone so that he could rule the land and bring everlasting hope and happiness to the serfs who were barely scratching a miserable living under the outgoing king's wretched rule. All she had to do was to help him find his ceremonial stand-in (sometimes known as a whipping boy). Princess Caroline agreed, and she not only found a whipping boy whose oral blunders were sure to take the media spotlight off anything foolish The OneTM might utter, but she found a new purpose in life -- the desire to serve the public in the same way her other family members had.
And just like a fairy tale, Princess Caroline suddenly found herself in a position to be named to a plum position within the new king's court, a cushy seat her uncle once held. She said that her status as a mother and an advocate of public schools (even though her children went to exclusive private schools) constituted plenty of experience to do the difficult job of creating legislation and overseeing the purse strings of the treasury. Many of her similarly privileged friends agreed, saying that if people would only "get to know her" that they too would agree that she was ready for the job on day one.
To the untrained eye it seemed as though Princess Caroline was suddenly infected by a sense of power in her success in helping to create a new political dynasty, but the truth is she did it because of her humble desire to serve. In her own words: "Going into politics is something people have asked me about forever. When this opportunity came along, which was sort of unexpected, I thought, `Well, maybe now. How about now?'" What is truly amazing is that she said this not while nibbling caviar and sipping champagne, but while eating a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich, washing it down with coffee. Truly, a woman of the people.
And, showing she had twice the political acumen and intellectual powers of another woman of much lesser pedigree -- some would say member of the peasant class - who recently tried to use her experience as a city councilwoman, mayor, chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation commission and Alaska governor to crash the gates carefully guarded by the political elite, Princess Caroline said (in response to a question about her seeking even higher office), "Now, well, can we just, you know, get through this, like, you know, right here now? I mean, you know."
Yet despite the obvious, some dared to doubt Princess Caroline's readiness for the job. There was speculation that by selecting her above all others, Gov. Paterson was counting on political payback in the form of fundraising and gaining an audience with King Obama -- and cruel whisperings that she really was just a "limousine liberal," a "carpetbagger," and a "middle-aged dilettante" who wanted to try something new -- and politics would do nicely. Poor Princess Caroline. How could anyone doubt her sincerity? Her integrity? Her ability to serve? She began to get agitated. When asked when she first realized she wanted the position within King Obama's court, Princess Caroline had this witty retort: "Have you guys ever thought about writing for, like, a woman's magazine or something? I thought you were the crack political team." Those reporters, by the way, are still smarting from that stinging rebuttal. Some have even sought psychiatric help.
So what happened to Princess Caroline? Did she manage to get past the dragons and find her rightful place at the Round Table in Camelot? Alas, this fairy tale has yet to have its ending written. Perhaps the New Year will bring all of Princess Caroline's dreams out of the shadows and into reality.
And for those of you out there who doubt the existence of fairy tale endings? Break time is over. It's time to stop reading this and getting back to digging potatoes
Poof goes the GOP

Just how stupid are Republican Party leaders? We're about to find out.
Chip Saltsman, a candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee, sent a compact disc to committee members over the holidays. It includes a tune titled "Barack the Magic Negro," which first aired on Rush Limbaugh's radio show in 2007.
The song is a parody of "Puff the Magic Dragon" by conservative satirist Paul Shanklin, who does it in an impersonation of Rev. Al Sharpton. A sampling of the lyrics: "Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C. . . . he makes guilty whites feel good. They'll vote for him, and not for me, 'cause he's not from the hood."
Saltsman, a veteran political operative who managed Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign, told a Capitol Hill newspaper that the song is just a lighthearted parody, a little joke. RNC Chairman Mike Duncan said he was "appalled" by the song, but some of Saltsman's competitors for Duncan's job have defended it.
Republicans have been rejected by American voters in the last two national elections. They've lost the House, the Senate and the White House. They have just about given up on the African-American vote. More Hispanics turned away from them this year.
Yet some of the people who want to run the national Republican Party think that a song mocking the race of the next president is all good, clean fun.
There's going to be a little more interest now in who wins the race for chairman of the Republican National Committee. If it's Saltsman and company, the party is going to be in the wilderness for a long time.
Who's the moron who doesn't know the LA Times has long been a Zell owned right wing rag?
Bush pollster and strategist Matthew Dowd: "Katrina to me was the tipping point. The president broke his bond with the public. Once that bond was broken, he no longer had the capacity to talk to the American public. State of the Union addresses? It didn't matter. Legislative initiatives? It didn't matter. P.R.? It didn't matter. Travel? It didn't matter."
White House communications director Dan Bartlett: "Politically, it was the final nail in the coffin."

GOP Analyst: ‘The California Republican Party Is Dead’
Jon Ponder | Dec. 29, 2008
More evidence that Californians are no longer buying what Republicans are selling:
Even with Prop 8’s coattails, California Republicans lost ground in Sacramento, where Democrats picked up one seat in the Senate and two seats in the Assembly on Nov. 4
“The California Republican Party is dead,” election analyst Tony Quinn, himself a Republican, wrote last week on Fox & Hounds Daily, a political blog. “Call the undertaker, haul away the corpse.”
Others apply a less severe metaphor: dismal health. Either way, signs of doom abound.
Starkest of all was McCain’s loss to Barack Obama in the presidential contest last month by a staggering 3.3 million votes — or a margin of 61 percent to 37 percent. Since 1900, the only Republican nominee for the White House to be trounced by a wider gap in California was Alf Landon, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s challenger in 1936.
Also alarming for conservatives is the hemorrhaging of Republicans from the state’s voter rolls, even in the party’s longtime strongholds. When California’s election map was last adjusted in 2002, Republicans made up more than half of the voters in 11 of the state’s 173 congressional or legislative districts, and Democrats held 66. Now, Republicans constitute a majority in zero, and Democrats hold 57.
Here is Quinn’s postmortem:
Republicans have spent years in denial while suburb after suburb has gone Democratic, hallucinating that “proud pro-life conservatives” can still win in California. Voters just turned down parental consent for abortion for the third time; how many times do Republicans need to be told this is a pro-choice state. Their social issue stands have destroyed the GOP in California’s suburbs…
But it is their xenophobic attitude toward Latinos, that dates all the way back to Gov. Pete Wilson and Proposition 187, that has done the most to sink the GOP. Minority owned small businesses are the fastest growing. Asians and Latinos are moving into the suburbs. Virtually every district Republicans have lost over the past 20 years shows Latino suburban and middle class growth.
The only bright spot for the state GOP in 2008 was the success of Proposition 8, the anti-gay marriage amendment. They are quick to bask in the glory, but you won’t hear them claiming credit. They were not major players in fundraising or the campaign. It wasn’t that they weren’t eager to join in all the gay-hatin’ fun. (Not hardly.) They couldn’t participate because they are broke.
Anti-gay ballot measures have been highly effective at getting out the Republican vote in most states — the tactic may have helped George Bush win reelection in Ohio in 2004. But Prop 8 had no coattails in California. It didn’t help John McCain, and California Republicans even lost ground in Sacramento, where Democrats added one seat in the Senate and two in the Assembly to their majorities.
Despite the fact that the most expensive anti-gay campaign ever — $40 million — could not turn out their voters, California Republicans are doubtless summoning up all the Reaganesque optimism they can muster.
Says Quinn, the party’s members are literally dying off. “At 31.3 percent of registered voters,” he writes, “California Republicans are at the lowest point in the history of the state. And they will go lower, as elderly white voters pass on. Sometime in the next decade, [registered independents] will pass Republicans.”
David Ehrenstein, the homo-in-chief writer of Barack the Magic Negro, is a right wing Republican? Whodda Thunkit?
Please... how stupid do you think the world is?
Oh, I get it, David Ehrenstein was POSING as a right winger. You Leftwing racists are a real riot when you play the agent provocateur!
In a wild press conference where Gov. Rod Blagojevich introduced Roland Burris as the Senate-appointee to replace Barack Obama, congressman Bobby Rush came to the lectern and firmly offered a racial basis for seeing through the appointment.
Noting that without Obama there would be no African-American members of the Senate, Rush, a former Black Panther, warned the press not to "hang or lynch" Burris by associating him with the ethics scandals plaguing the governor.

Obama dismisses Bush Pentagon appointees

Despite keeping Defense Secretary Robert Gates in the Pentagon, President-elect Obama’s transition team informed 90 Bush appointees their services will not be needed after Inauguration Day.

'Magic Negro' song embarrasses struggling Republicans
A senior Republican's distribution of a song titled "Barack the Magic Negro" has triggered a nasty battle for the soul of the struggling party.
Furious debates filled political blogs Tuesday, deepening Republican splits as the party tries to chart a course out of the political wilderness.
Chip Saltsman, campaigning to become chairman of the Republican National Committee, says he sent CDs of the song about president-elect Barack Obama, the first African American to win the White House, as a joke.
Opponents say that the joke proves the Republican party is badly out of touch.
The song "is a racist, hateful, sophomoric act," one blogger posted on the Politico.com site. "I can't wait until all you ethnic puritan-maniacs are retired, voted out, or six feet under."
Even some prominent Republicans are expressing disquiet.
An online commentator for the National Review magazine, a pillar of US conservatism, attacked Saltsman, saying: "The use of the term 'Negro' in the song rubs me the wrong way."
Newt Gingrich, a former Republican speaker in the House of Representatives, told the New York Times that the song was "inappropriate" and said the flap should disqualify Saltsman from consideration as party head.
Republicans are struggling to recover from their crushing defeat by the Democrats in the November presidential and congressional races -- in part because of low support from ethnic minorities.
The wording of the song, particularly the now rare use of the word "negro," touched on the ultra-sensitive topic of race, an area where Republicans have often been painted as being behind the times.
Adding to the embarrassment, it has emerged that another candidate for the Republican National Committee chairmanship, Katon Dawson, recently resigned from a country club that allows only white members.
Saltsman was quoted by the Hill newspaper as saying he meant to be "light-hearted."
"Republicans who care about public relations also might want to think twice about electing someone who is either (1) out of touch with general societal mores, (2) lacks the ability to self-censor or self-edit, (3) simply doesn't care what people think.
The Chicago Public Schools, whose superintendent, Arne Duncan, has been tapped by President-elect Barack Obama to be the next education secretary, failed to meet the Illinois state standards set under the No Child Left Behind Act for the last five years.
From 2004 to 2008, the Chicago district (District 299) failed to make “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) in key areas, according to the district’s progress report on the Illinois State Board of Education Web site.
...anybody think he should have been concentrating on the 3-R's instead of dabbling in starting up exclusively "gay" high schools?

Prop 8 losers are still skulking around churches cursing Mormons. Talk about a defeated cause. Homosexuality is on the ropes!
