A quick shout out to the one of our own, the blogger "Jump to the Left" at Les Enrages, who successfully defended her doctoral dissertation at UCLA this week.

"Yep, that's one more hyper-smart well-educated woman that you'll never get a date with, Glenn." "Back at you, Sean."

Bright and early Monday morning, February 4th, Bill Clinton is going to call a press conference and endorse Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic nominee for president.

That should quell the rumors, instigated by his campaign tactics, that he really didn't want her to win.

Snowball's picture

OK, I checked the link, I still don't have the slightest clue what her doctoral thesis was about. Mind letting us in on the secret bluegal?

SadButTrue's picture

Thanks for the link BG. Yes, we are inordinately proud of our little Jumpster. Sorry, DOCTOR Jumpster. And no, Glenn Beck has no chance. NONE.

Keith Olbermann might have a shot.

The Pentagon lies about readiness against domestic terrorist attacks. The surge isn't working in Afghanistan.

I read about this somewhere else but I didn't make the connection nor knew about this before since the Unruly Mob banned me over a year ago (their loss, not mine, trust me).

Still, I didn't have a problem with JTTL, so I'm happy for her.

Glen Beck, another clown that I can't figure out for the life of me why anyone, especially any of us, would pay attention to. Fucking traitor. Hannity, too.

Monica Crowley looks and sounds like a pudgy Ann Coulter to whom someone has delivered a well-deserved punch in the mouth, in an attempt to get her to STFU.

She has split ends, too. And really dark roots.

If she went natural, and scraped off the pancake, she could pass for an illegal alien.

AND THEN WE COULD DEPORT HER.

If we could determine her home planet.

I just want to give a shout out to all you superior right wingers who's contribution to the war on terror was to go shoping instead of going to Iraq. Good on ya! you did good. You got all those goods made in China and if you got lucky your kids didn't get lead poisoning or nothin'.

And HEY! You did not end up on the streets after three or four tours there 'cause you were smart as shit! You got good jobs here at home building weapons systems to give our guys something to hold in their hands when their vehicles got blasted to smithereens by IUD's.

Not only that but you did not buy a house with a sub slime mortgage so you ain't homeless due to a poor financial investment in a false dream of financial security and you are not homeless due to a four tour excursion into hell.

Sorry about your soul.

Open Thread topic:

It appears that some true enlightenment has landed on teh democratic contenders for the presidency.

The idea that Obama and Clinton might actually team up has been floated by both candidates.

Imagine that.

I would say that Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama would beat McCain/??? on any given Sunday. Even if ??? were Jesus himself.

There is hope for this fledgeling democracy after all.

Why are we going to put ourselves through nine months of ridiculosity?

It's going to be Clinton/Obama vs. McCain/Lieberman.

Whoever wins, the zionists will still run the country, the corporations will still raid the treasury, and the lobbyists will still write the legislation. And whoever's elected in 2100 can resolve the Iraq 'question'.

But if Clinton/Obama win, you may be able to get a doctor to do your hemorrhoid surgery, instead of depending on a DIY kit.

But who cares, the Patriots by 5 points, and all's well with the world.

Unless you're a non-mercenary soldier of the US. Or one of the remaining living civilians in Iraq.

Preacher Boob says "Monica Crowley looks and sounds like a pudgy Ann Coulter to whom someone has delivered a well-deserved punch in the mouth, in an attempt to get her to STFU."

If you're talking about that frumpy bimbo on The McLaughlin Group, I second the sentiment, but you may have missed (due to the incessant crosstalk that makes the show fun) a hilarious gaffe on the part of Pat Buchanan. He was talking about how Obama is trying to move in on Hillary's base in California, including Hispanics, after a narrower-than-expected ethnic vote in Florida. Buchanan, trying to phonetically pronounce the Obama slogan in Spanish, said something along the lines of, "He's got those signs that say 'see say purdah,'" which is as bad as OReally confusing a loofa with a felafel. The Obama signs read: "Si, se puede!" ("Yes, we can!"), but Buchanan blew it. Phonetically, he got the first two words correct, but the third word can only refer to the traditional Hindu and Islamic practice of segregation of the sexes. Hey, come to think of it, maybe Pat was onto something. I mean, Barack is a guy; Hillary a gal. Not quite as bad as confusing something one washes with and something one eats. Well...almost as bad.

Politicians and pundits shouldn't attempt to use a foreign tongue unless they know it and can toss it out trippingly. Although he hails from a bilingual state, Arbusto speaks Spanish abominably. (Perhaps that is because he only had that lisping twit Albert VO-5 for a tutor.) When JFK went to Berlin and said he was a Berliner, the people went berserker with glee. That's because JFK was an educated man and sophisticated, not some rednecked buffoon from Midland whose daddy bought him an Ivy League degree. Maybe Hillary should court some African Americans from Barack's base. She could employ Snoop Doggy Dog or get a rapper or hip hop artist to teach her some Ebonics. (Not Spike Lee, mind you; when a story emerged as to proposals to teach that patois in schools, the filmmaker posted the following on his web site: "I be thinkin' Ebonics be stupid.")

As for myself, I have a few choice words to describe neocons like Herr Karlheinz Roef and Prick Cheney. Growing up in South Texas, one picks up Spanish here and there, including epithets. Let's see, Ann Coulter can besa mi culo. Rove, Cheney, and Arbusto are pinche cabrones. No, no, that's not quite good enough for that bunch. They're all pendejos.

Self righteous poverty denier Bull O'Really? continued his attacks on John Edwards for daring to highlight the plight of the poor. And it isn't just the homeless veterans who don't exist this time. It's homeless people in New Orleans. Sayeth the Frank Burns of news:

Earlier today, John Edwards dropped out of the race, as we said, but he's still on bridge patrol.

Upon snickering, O'Really? played a clip of Edwards saying,

I want to say to everyone here, on the way here today, we passed under a bridge that carried the interstate where 100 to 200 homeless Americans sleep every night.

O'Really? then rolled his eyes, and shares a laugh with people in his studio. He insists that Edwards is yet again lying, and in a standard ridiculous conversation with his guests, says,

[L]ook -- every time Edwards shows up anywhere, it's the bridge, all right? It's a bridge too far. It's the bridge on the River Kwai. It's the bridge -- thank God he's not in the race anymore.

Well, I'm thankful for one thing: O'Really? can never admit that he is wrong, and can never leave an issue like this alone. His gargantuan ego will compel him to continue to give Edwards' fight against poverty air time on FUX News of all places, despite his absence from the presidential race.

At least nature plays fair. Or at least has a sense of humor.

"Man, l remember when a dime bag cost a dime, you know what l mean? You know how much condoms used to cost in them days?"

- "How much?"

"l don't know. We never used 'em."

Come on now.

Eating yum-yum can cause throat cancer in men (?not women?) so, little girls must be vaccinated to prevent cervical cancer?

This has to be some sort of diabolical plan. HAHAHAHAHAHA

The article mentions "Link to oral sex?
Studies suggest oral sex is associated with HPV-related oral cancers, but a cause-effect relationship has not been proved. Other researchers have suggested that even unwashed hands can spread it to the mouth as well.

Gillison pointed toward sex as an explanation for the increase in male upper throat cancers. However, HPV-related upper throat cancers declined significantly in women from 1973 to 2004."

Merck also wants to get approval to vaccinate boys, according to the article linked. And why not? It means twice the money for Merck. As an added benefit, it might stop the spread of HPV between the genders. Maybe.

xoites defends Constitution @ 50:

At the end of this primary movie i would like to see a synopsis of "Where they are now" as in five years from now. You know, the way some movies have ended.

Rudy: After winning three drag queen contests and claiming no transvestite was killed by a terroist on his watch first became a multi billionaire through lucrative prison contracting deals and was then indicted and convicted for trading with the enemy and torture (which he described during the trial as "fun") was sentenced to 30 years in Federal Prison.

Mitt: Went on to a successful Depends modeling career.

Hillary: Still serving as a right wing Democratic Senator.

Barack: Serving his second term in office as the President of the United States.

McCain: John, in blackface, moved his campaign to Africa, ran as the reincarnation of Idi Amin, and now rules the 'Dark Continent'.

As a rookie in the political challenges here I made a mistake in reference to the Kennedy’s where in my original analysis I talked about Edward which was foolish when I should have talked about Ted Kennedy. Imagine my inexperience as to charge to the way to know what is happening. True I don’t know everything but I do know when to say I made a mistake. It would be interesting as I point out a significant short fall to Obama, can he admit a mistake? I think I found a significant flaw in black-white ideals that the Mainstream media is deliberately ignoring about Obama.

Was there ever a time in a self directed government, or other look alike experiments were families of spouses, son’s, or daughter, wife’s, uncles, ants, bothers and cousins didn’t helped each other to win an election ? Of course they did, from my view it has been going since the new world started, and was carried over from the first Republic born in the Senate of Rome thousands of years ago. So why all the hype about Bill Clinton campaigning. It’s the Media Stupid.

What’s really funny is Obama, in the mantra of Change, “You can believe in” embraces Teddy Kennedy, The Kennedys, and the Democratic family of Caesars. If there was a true Journalist, with out casting the stone of sinful rhetoric that one would be able to point out, the hailed hype of reform from Obama is suddenly appearing as nothing new, worse the Major Media that always pounded the hell out Kennedy’s now holds Kennedy in high regard as a symbol in powerful political endorsements. The reality, Ted Kennedy, with his self centered egotistical effort here, chose to roll the dice being able to be the most powerful man in the world through Obama, because the Kennedys could not possibly have this inside power with the Clintons, it that simple.

Now a prediction is brewing because, Obama, himself in his book called “Audacity of Hope” makes the claim, in his prologue he, Obama, doesn’t know how to make change. Ladies and gentlemen of America Obama clearly wrote this in his book, he, Obama, really doesn’t know how to do it. Yes I almost fell out of my chair too. But, I do believe that, he, Obama doesn’t know how. His book is loaded with lines of the long ago established winner of positive thinking, Norman Vincent Peale, with Norman Rockwell descriptions. Though every once in a paragraph or two some of Obama’s original thoughts make their mark. Some of the comments can be good, from disappointing to just plain stupid.

So, contemporary Journalist and analyst are giving the electorate fits, with loads of what if political theoretical implosions, however, the drama is taking shape for me with a clear picture. For what is most disturbing yet seems to be something most dismissed by the political Journalist and analyst. To ignore a huge space of working reality that is not addressed but parallels every day working Americans through interactions in Negro-White working relations. Obama’s stand on the War in Iraq, which he rejects, or was against it fails a significant working experience.

What do I mean ? First when I realized Obama was not an official Senator in the Federal system until after the resolution in the Iraq war was voted on, yes a Senator in the state system, but, different, very.

Ladies and Gentlemen of America here we have the similarities in what one might be called positive affirmative action politics. The core of my argument is were mainstream Journalist and analyst who have the savvy to understand what descriptions are here but deliberately avoid it.
Obama did not have to go through the Federal Senate matrix in this Iraq war issue. Like all politics this is as unique as any, were those in the working operations of the government work on the record and off the record, go to secret or undisclosed meetings, and have personal debates, and discussions, all the while working through the rule of order, now, obviously a thin margin in the Senate and most importantly working for Americas interest. Yes, it is here, to discount all this gathering of the minds giving each other assurance on an historic event that will make history.

Obama, did not take part in any of this yet catapults himself with the support of Mainstream Media completely dismissing a very reverent core of interaction and moral authority, decisions that affected millions of lives and refugees, Americans and Iraqi, is startling. One concludes how many Americans don’t know how to think for themselves by being able to see this huge disparity, let alone let our leadership instill our so called free style of government to another sovereignty. All this Iraq war turning into a sick mess with full agreement it was done wrong, yet Obama proudly makes his speeches being the only candidate against the war in Iraq.

Obama, did not have to work the pressure of any of the economics or the consequences of death, the lose of life and injury, or future terrorist by not being in the Senate at the time. Obama did not have to buckle up in his Senate seat to flip the switch and record his values at that moment for posterity. This simple disparity at such a level shows a complete disregard for those very important political work related ideals Obama tries explain that transcend down into every day life issues between you and me, and blacks, and whites. From my view to discount this is and will continue to show American’s that not only Obama’s lack of understanding on problem solving and taking advice is Obama’s short fall, but the glaring support of American Mainstream Media dodging the very essence shows everyone. It’s not Clinton it’s the Media Stupid.

I’d hate to say this but why don’t Kucinich and/or Edwards pull a Stalker Joe and run as independents? That would keep them in the race and they have plenty of supporters (voters) to back them up.

Hi Eli, you and your organization are doing such a disservice to the American people. You and the people who control MoveOn.org are undermining efforts to end the war. MoveOn pushes candidates who ignore the US Constitution and International Law. Obama openly violates international law by threatening Iran with an attack.

You West Hollywood religious freaks are a caution! I know your Santa Monica
Boulevard 'churches' feature 'services' with the 'Minister' naked and bent over the 'altar', while the all male congregation practices 'communion', sans wine and wafers. Enjoy your Sunday morning, I hope you last through all your 'services', 'preacher' Paul.

By the way, 'preacher' Paul, since I've heard you're addicted to free-range gerbils, do you check them for HIV before insertion?
