Bashir also apologized immediately after making the comment. Did Limbaugh ever apologize for calling Fluke a slut? (serious q, I can't remember)

I was going to just skip over this because I thought I'd seen it all but I really enjoy his subtle portrayal of an exasperated man just trying to explain that current the state of the U.S. a lot like Lady Liberty on the ground gurgling blood after being wounded in an action movie. He does his own gurgle sound effects.

I don't know that I would consider Beck to be bad at the delivery. He does it like a preacher or someone giving a testimonial to convert you to Jesus at a Lay Witness Mission event at a church. For whatever reason that type of thing hits the spot for some people.

Oh wow, I don't know how to feel about this. Sure I'd like to see Zimmerman get his lumps but it's terribly lame that he is famous and making money on this because he killed Trayvon.

:siren:DMX to Fight George Zimmerman in Boxing Match:siren:
http://pitchfork.com/news/53846-dmx-to-fight-george-zimmerman-in-celebrity-boxing-match/

quote:

Yes, this is real. George Zimmerman, the man acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin, has signed a contract with celebrity boxing match promotor Damon Feldman. And Feldman has delivered on his reputation for head-spinning matchups (see: Tonya Harding vs. a waitress) by selecting DMX as Zimmerman's opponent, TMZ reports. To break it down further: George Zimmerman will fight DMX.

As you can imagine, the list of people willing to fight Zimmerman was long. Among the 15,000 candidates was the rapper Game, who told TMZ: "I would not be boxing for me... I'd be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and his family." DMX also told TMZ that he wants to fight on behalf of "every black person who has been done wrong in the system...I am going to beat the living gently caress out of him. I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I gently caress him up right." He also threatened to piss on Zimmerman's face.

Details of the fight, which takes place on March 1, will be announced during a news conference next Wednesday.

Re: Maddow and The bridge scandal.
I didn't see her show last night but the last two before were basically about figuring out that the Feds had subpoenaed Chritie's Office and Campaign Organization but not the chief players in the bridge issue which seems to indicate that the Federal investigation going on is probably about misuse of the Sandy relief funds, not the bridge lane closing.
My point is the story is evolving, it's not really the same thing over and over.

This "South" talk has been a bit weird, I've been wanting to jump in say some things but it seems best to start with the post that kind of kicked things off.

MizPiz posted:

That's what really kills me about the South; it's easily one of if not the most beautiful regions in the US, but it's being completely ruined (in every meaning of the word) by everyone who lives there.

I'm curious, as a resident of North Carolina, is there anyway for to stop ruining my state's beauty? How do you avoid causing harm to the beauty where you live? The quoted statement to me reads as :smug: "you guys are sure loving everything up" and maybe it's not supposed to be taken that specifically? Are we all ruining where we live in the U.S. or is it just the South?

I'm pretty jaded because I worked in the music business for a while, I've seen a lot of ridiculous poo poo. But I'm having a lot of trouble believing this band actually comes together to exclusively write this kind of music.

Some random googling tells me the guy who manages the band is Richard Mgrdechian. And it appears he basically put up classified ads to put the entire band together and created the idea of being a band that can play Republican National Conventions and NASCAR races to get out the new hip conservative message. He wrote this wonderful book:

Rush knows it's offensive. He's pretty much said his job involves pissing about half of his listeners off to keep them listening. I guess my point is don't mistake the puppet master for a puppet. He's a radio host first and a complete GOP shill second.

Yeah, I heard that. The other thing that caught my ear was that the dude was talking about how "they" said he couldn't harvest pine cones anymore on his land. He harvested pine cones to be used for "boy scout fundraising Christmas wreaths" which seemed like a weasel way to present what he does. I assume he has or is working with an organization that sells Christmas wreaths, to the Boy Scouts etc., for fundraising purposes.

In order to share the wealth and spread the pain like a good socialist I feel it's my obligation to pass on to this thread what a tremendous douche this guy Nick Searcy, an actor on 'Justified', seems to be. He was being interviewed on my local AM station today by the local AM "libertarian" *wink* *wink* who was lapping up his poo poo in full force. The gist of it is this dude is cool because he directly insults "the left" on Twitter.
Earlier in the thread others were talking about how some of the conservative movement seems to be interested in sticking it to liberals vs. making a valid argument. This guy is the poster child for that.

Dude is like: all liberals are dumb and arguing is worthless so I just shut them down with some sweet ad hominem on Twitter :smug: :iceburn:

I feel dirty for even giving this guy air but it's certainly in the spirit of this thread.

What makes me the most upset is the poo poo talking about Bergdahl's dad. It seems like the guy was dealing with his son's situation as best he could and dicks like Hannity and Medved want to act like he hates America etc.

These are the facts that are getting spun.

Wall Street Journal posted:

HAILEY, Idaho—Until his son was taken captive by the Taliban in 2009, Bob Bergdahl was known in this mountain town as an easy-going, cheerful UPS driver, the sort who would beep the horn on his truck simply to delight preschool children.

But over the five years of his son's captivity, Mr. Bergdahl underwent a transformation, both physical and mental. He grew a more than footlong beard, after vowing not to shave until his son, U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, returned home. He also immersed himself in the culture of his son's Taliban captors—studying the Quran, learning the Pashto language, even setting his wristwatch to Afghan time.

Friends say Mr. Bergdahl, a devout Christian, did so to help gain his son's release. "What would you do if your son was kidnapped?" said Stefanie O'Neil, a family friend. "You would learn about his captors."

"Down Rodeo" is pro-gun, you just have to stop the song real quick to miss "These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man since their grandparents bought one." Maybe there's a Republican edit of "Pistol-Grip Pump" that only has the first 3 bars of the chorus?

While I was transitioning into the life of the working man with coffee available in the office, I had a lady I worked with confront me on my use of sugar and cream.

In Asheville we have an old contaminated industrial site that folks have been working on trying to get cleaned up for 20 years. The company that used the site and dumped toxic waste on it has skirted doing anything about it since the beginning and I belief at this point NC's statute of limitations for such lawsuits has basically absolved CTS from liability.

What's kind of funny about the whole thing is the other day there was a hearing in Congress where some of our local congressmen got to grill the EPA administrator. The funny framing was "well since the EPA can't immediately agree to clean this up what good are any new environmental regulations!!!". The local AM "Libertarian" douche was taking the same angle when commenting on it yesterday. It's bizarre but not shocking.
It just seems so weird: A company ruined our environment! They can't be held accountable! If you are not going to fix it EPA why do we need more regulations! ....hmmph :colbert:

Here's the article: http://www.wlos.com/shared/news/features/top-stories/stories/wlos_nations-top-epa-official-hot-seat-16734.shtml

I also like this:

quote:

Fellow Congressman Patrick McHenry is also a member of the Committee and attended today’s hearing. He took a different tone while asking McCarthy tough questions. At one point he asked the EPA Administrator, "From what we understand from CTS officials, and my constituents have heard from board members of that company, is they've asked and the quote is that ‘CTS is doing everything the EPA has asked them to do’ so there's a credibility problem for the EPA at stake here. What I urge you to do is to work through these issues and deal with that and to take action."

"The company who destroyed the local environment say they've done everything you asked them to, so.... this is your fault...." Yeah dude, CTS is the go to source for reliable information about this issue.

For the rest of you wondering about the Archie Co-CEO penis stuff:

as reported in 2011 by TMZ, the lawsuit stated that in 2009, Silberkleit "barged into a meeting, 'pointed to each [attendee] and said, 'PENIS, PENIS, PENIS, PENIS' and then walked out.' Nancy allegedly pulled the same 'penis' stunt again in 2010—but this time she also screamed out, 'My balls hurt.'"
