More on Those Damned Leftist Protestors in Denver

The first video shows more of the ‘Fuck Fox News’  chant with the second video showing “Department of correction vehicles near Capitol where protesters held demonstrations.  National Guard in residential neighborhood six miles from where DNC held.”

Those Damned Leftists are on the Move!

Crooks & Liars has video of Fox Faux reporter, Griff Jenkins, attempting to get some kind of a story out of a protest in Denver, sponsored by Recreate 68.   Nicole Belle writes:  “…..out amongst the riff-raff to ask them if they believe in freedom (of speech).  Dude, they’re protesting.  That IS exercising their freedom of [...]

Final Day of Beijing Olympics

Over the past few weeks, I’ve caught some parts of the Olympics.   I’ve not made a point of watching them.
The women’s softball team from the USA played Japan for the gold medal and lost.   I thought this picture too celebratory to not share.

Japanese coach Haruka Saito was thrown into the air after the game on [...]

Hallmark Playing the Gay Card?

While in Nampa yesterday, I caught a glimpse of the front page of the Idaho Press Tribune in the news box outside of the eatery where we ate lunch.  The headline read “Hallmark’s same-sex cards stir debate.”  We were in a bit of hurry or I would’ve deposited some coins to read THAT story.   After [...]

Small Tributes to Stephanie Tubbs Jones

One of the stories I saw and surely read in 1999 when Stephanie Tubbs Jones became my Congress rep while living in Ohio.  It began with this mighty sentence.
Ohio has its first black congresswoman.
The 11th district included the township of Bedford where I lived and worked; it also included parts of Pepper Pike, the location [...]

Prayers on the Wind for Stephanie Tubbs-Jones

..
This is very grave news -
Cleveland, OH – Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones has reportedly had a massive aneurysm and remains on life support Wednesday morning at Huron Road Hospital.
WOIO 19 is reporting “life support will be withdrawn some time this afternoon.”
 

And, What’s Up with Ms Tubbs-Jones?

All kinds of questions floating around tonight and into the wee hours.
While living in the Cleveland area I had the opportunity to meet Stephanie Tubbs-Jones.   We were at the annual Komen event and my friend (the columnist), who is also a breast cancer survivor, was speaking to Ms Tubbs-Jones, and then mayor, Jane Campbell.  I liked [...]

A Misfit in Society?

I heard this interview on PBS this morning – Fresh Air – apparently it’s a rerun.  Political comedic satirist – Mort Sahl.  I don’t know if I’ve known about him and simply forgotten or never knew.
About his ideology: “I’m not a liberal, I’m a radical!”
About liberals and conservatives: “Liberals feel unworthy of their possessions. Conservatives [...]

Wicked Smart!

Woohoo!

Look who is getting her own show.  The Nation did a bit on Rachel Maddow a few weeks ago wherein she was described as the “ballsy gremlin of the left” who does among other things makes Pat Buchanan grumble fiercely and Tucker Carlson’s head explode.
Guess I’ll hold off on getting rid of basic cable for [...]

Off to See the Ocean

It’s been five years since I’ve had a vacation of any sort, and driving cross-country returning home didn’t exactly count.  My sister and I decided we need an “ocean fix”  so we’re loading up my father, my two nephews, my sister, and me and we’re driving over to Vancouver to see my father’s eldest sister [...]
