Mike's Blog Round Up

Good morning. I'm Lance Mannion and I am a fugitive from a chain gang. I'm also a fugitive from a deadline, so l'd better get to this quick.

Guest host for the round-up: Me. My blog: here. Usual subjects: Whatever. Today's links: Coming right up.

Roxanne Cooper finds evidence that "the the anti-science/ pro-big business/ anti-Constitution/ othering coalition" otherwise known as the national Republican Party "is melting faster than Kilimanjaro".

Steven Hart has an attack of anti-nostalgia for the cigarette ads that used to interrupt the stories in the paperback books he loved back when he was young and impressionable.

Plenty of Democrats aren't happy at the prospect of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee---George Clooney, for one, according to the fab David E., who had cocktails with the man. Taylor Marsh, though, has her doubts about Barack Obama.

Pam Spaulding on Mike Huckabee's "rapist/murderer problem." Publius reminds us of how Huck's pardon of Dumond fits in with the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to destroy Bill Clinton---Dumond was innocent, don't you know? And Bill had him railroaded.

And with the holidays crashing down upon her, Quinn Cummings tries to find a place of sanity "somewhere between Ebenezer Scrooge and Thomas Kincaid."

Deadline met. Barely. Over and out.

Send tips to lance(atsign)lancemannion(dot)com.

Huckabee's "rapist murderer problem"? You make it sound like a crime ...

Preacher Boob's picture

Hillary's starting to mimic the tactics of her NeoCon Zionist backers, and is accusing anyone who criticizes her campaign of being 'anti-femitic'.

Janet's picture

"Despite overwhelming evidence that Dumond was innocent, Clinton, as governor, refused to review the case and let stand a 50-year sentence which Dumond is still serving."

This statement directly contradicts what Huckabee said in clips I saw on CNN yesterday. Huckabee blamed Clinton for allowing Dumond to be eligible for parole.

Seems Clinton was right about this guy and they wrong.

Preacher Boob's picture

Why keep diddling around with Huckabee's 'serial rapist' problem?

I say, just throw Huckabee in jail, and keep him there until he repents, and 'finds Jaysus'.

The holiday are almost upon us, and I hope all of you have been working out and getting in shape, because three weeks of almost constantly being kinky, to celebrate 'Kinky Kwanzaa', is gonna take a lot out of you.

'Course, it'll be a hell of a lot of fun, too, if you don't get caught.

Intel Bombshell Sends Community Scrambling To Hold Line on Iran Threat
Israel Challenges U.S. Spies’ Report
By Marc Perelman
Wed. Dec 05, 2007

American Jewish groups are scrambling to reformulate their message on Iran following the release this week of a new American intelligence report that states with “high confidence” that Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program four years ago.

In a conference call Tuesday hurriedly arranged by the umbrella body of Jewish organizations, communal leaders decided to immediately send letters to the presidential candidates from both parties, urging them to continue pushing for sanctions against Iran.

According to participants in the conference call, concern is high that the unexpected conclusions drawn in the National Intelligence Estimate not only may lead Washington to withdraw the threat of military action against Iran but may also erode the recently reached international consensus on pressuring Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions.”

CALL YOUR REPS LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU WANT THEM TO HONOR THE NIE REPORT AND THE IAEA’S FINDINGS NOT AIPAC.

IAF chief draws Iran-Hitler link
mail E-mail News Brief
mail Tell the Editors

Published: 12/05/2007

The commander of the Israeli Air Force urged his top brass to consider Iran’s president a possible modern Hitler.

Maj.-Gen. Eliezer Shkedi recently distributed a letter to senior Air Force commanders in which he noted the similarities between Adolf Hitler’s pre-Holocaust rhetoric and the anti-Israel vitriol of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

“These statements, at this time, are becoming relevant in light of the direct and veiled threats of the Iranian president about the existence of the State of Israel,” read the letter, which was leaked to Yediot Achronot. “The words take on special meaning in light of Iran’s efforts to build its military nuclear capabilities and deliver systems the can reach Israel.

“We must remember and not forget. We must rely only on ourselves,” Shkedi concluded.

Shkedi is the Israeli military officer entrusted with contingency planning for a war with Iran, and his pilots have been training for long-range bombing runs. The Israeli Air Force is also in charge of missile defense systems.

Shkedi’s deputy, Brig.-Gen. Amir Eshel, led an F-15 warplane formation that flew over Auschwitz in 2003, a ceremony designed to underscore Israel’s vow to use military power to prevent a repeat of the Holocaust.

I commissioned a couple of custom ornaments for my Kinky Kwanzaa tree, to remind me of Paul of LA, and Andy K.

They're just plain, empty bulbs.

So College Republicans at the U of Mass in Amherst is holding a "Give War a Chance" rally. Let's say we show up with military recruiters, since they seem so itching to fight.

Glen Greenwald wrote a little blurb about it.

Folk,, I'm sorry but I goofed up the link to Steve Hart's piece. It's going to get fixed, but until then here's the correct one:

The typical republican's choleric personality, and resultant rush of blood to the face, is contributing greatly to Global Warming, according to a recent study by the PAA.

Possible corrective approaches include substituting Valium for OxyContin as a daily dose for republicans, corrective surgery to redirect blood vessels from the cranium to the anus, or group, collective assassinations of republicans.

The medical association containing most republican family doctors, the PAA, is diligently considering alternatives to collective assassinations, because of the detrimental effect it would have on the association's members' incomes, but, so far, the Proctologist's Association of America seems stymied.

Let's wish them luck. Or Not.

In a related matter, the PAA has offered to underwite a large percentage of the cost of operating Congress, in return for 24/7 access of their interns to the republican caucuses of the House and Senate.

'We have searched the world over', the PPA stated, 'and nowhere else have we found such a concentrated collection of malfunctioning ass*oles', said Proctologists Association of America spokesperson, Dr. Abraham 'Coldfinger' Schwartzenkupfer, 'and it would greatly accelerate the education of our students'. 'Each Congressman could have his own, assigned, ass*ole doctor, and each student would have his own ass*ole Congressman to work on', the Doctor concluded.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll plant some dildoes near my pool patio to remind me of them, too. It'll be fun to weed-whack them in the spring.

I know that a lot of people here dislike Chris Matthews, but here is an example of him really sticking it to a weekly standard neo-con on the topic of Iran. He demands an answer to whether Iran is a strategic threat to the U.S. and isn't buying any spin.

Who the hell cares what George Clooney thinks anyways? That's what our country's problem really is-- no one thinks for themselves anymore! That's why we have Bush in office and a Giulliani vs. Clinton battle brewing. People seem to have forgotten that we posses skills of reasoning, logic, and emotion. CABLE news propoganda is very real and if it has worked (which it has) the majority of the public would scoff at such a remark-- and do!

I visited SoCal the other day, for the first time in a long time.

And what do I see?

A store, a business, right on a main boulevard, with a big sign,

'TIMEX BJ/S&M EMPORIUM', with the slogan,

'We take a Kickin' and keep on Lickin'.

What's the world coming to?

While I was in SoCal, I picked up a newspaper, and saw a 'Help Wanted' ad:

'GLORY HOLE GOFER, can't give job description in family newspaper'.

WTF!!!???

Then there was the 'standard' sex-toy shop, with the sign,

'DILDO FITTING ROOMS, glass-enclosed or private'

HUH?

You can find them in the Yellow Pages, under 'Republican Social Clubs'. On Santa Monica Boulevard.

Finally, Hillary accomplished something worthwhile, actually, of historic significance today,
when she took a comment by William Safire as being extremely critical of her, personally (which it was), and retorted by shouting at him, accusing him of being 'ANTI-FEMITIC'.

Bill, who is hard of hearing, went nuts, his eyes bulged, his face turned crimson, he choked ah..ah..ah..ah..ah..ah..ah..ah..ah..ah..ah.., and just as everyone though he was going to make a speech, dropped over, dead.

So Hillary's campaign was worthwhile, if she doesn't do another thing.

Safire's funeral is tomorrow. The family requests that you contribute to the 'Grow a bush in Tel Aviv' fund, in lieu of flowers.
