No, I can safely say, with conscience clear, that I had absolutely nothing to do with it. I never asked him to make a concert tour, I never bought any of his music, I never encouraged him to do anything he ever did in any way whatsoever. My hands are completely clean. I just wish we could stop hearing about him.

You know the bit about how he claimed that he never had a childhood? It appeared to me that he had a childhood that lasted for five decades.
Where is the evidence? Where is the evidence that he’s a genius at anything?
…had been pooping on police cars, stealing soap from local businesses and flooding their bathrooms, shutting down the Air and Space Museum on a Saturday while attacking its guards, preventing anyone from moving in downtown New York for days? Especially if they were as white as these leftist clowns are? Can you imagine the hyperventilating by the media over the violence and racism? And hey guys, if you really want to show you’re opposed to Wall Street, why not go over to Lafayette Park and demonstrate against President Goldman Sachs?
Why it’s rational for Republicans to oppose it. It’s good policy and good politics.
A cleanAn ultra-clean environment is a luxury good. We’re broke.
…Obama.
So much for the post-racial uniter not a divider.
Does Eric Holder have a lot more to worry about than mere perjury charges? And continuing kudos to Sharyl Attkisson at CBS.
Over at John Boot’s review of the latest hairball to be hacked up by George Clooney and Hollywood, check out comment #25:
This web site has delved into sickness. How can anyone with any compassion attack George Clooney? He is a great man who works tirelessly to help the less fortunate. I read this article and was so blown away by the author’s ignorance that I felt compelled to call my Life Coach. I needed some immediate advice and direction. Sasha told me to channel my feelings toward the source of my anger, but to do so in a creative way that, hopefully, will penetrate the thick ignorant armor of my instigators. So here is my attempt to reach all of you through that ancient poetic art form of Haiku:
Crazy neocons
destructive and hateful
gay killers
never bi-curious
haters of life
snuffers of hope
negro president?
destroy!
mocha cappucino?
HATE!Please take the time to digest this. I’m really hoping that it will reach some of you before your hate engulfs us all.
I can’t decide if it’s serious or a gag.
Which reminds me. A commenter at Space Politics named Grondine keeps talking about how the “neocons” have screwed up NASA. I repeatedly ask him what he thinks a “neocon” is, and to provide some examples, but he never does so.
Who funds them?
Trust me, this doofus is not really representative of my home state. I love the way he points to his hand to show where Saginaw is.

Sorting out the “extremists.”
“Extreme” is a funny word these days. It’s often used by mainstream news outlets to describe the tea parties and the tea-party-friendly caucus in the GOP.
For instance, when those hotheads in tricorn hats were trying to get the government to borrow slightly less than 40 cents for every dollar Washington spends, the conventional wisdom among enlightened liberals, the Obama administration, and the other usual suspects was that they were “extremists.”
Senate majority leader Harry Reid blasted said extremists as “heartless” for daring to suggest that the exploding federal debt might require cutting subsidies for “cowboy poets.”
Meanwhile, the sock-headed spokesman for the protesters wants to “overthrow the government.”
And yet, if you peruse LexisNexis, you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone calling him or his more radical confreres “extremists.”
You also won’t hear them being called racists, even though the Occupy Wall Street movement is mostly white. Personally, I don’t think the racial composition of the “99 percenters” is relevant, but the fact that the tea partiers are mostly white has been cited time and again as evidence of nascent racism. After all, what other explanation could there be for a mass movement opposed to the first black president’s policies? (Never mind that the most popular tea-party politician these days is Herman Cain, who, in case you hadn’t noticed, is black.)
[Update later morning]
Protesters freak out when questioned by reporters.
It’s all about the narrative.
…bullied a CBS reporter. She’s like the anti-Dan Rather.
