I Just Lost My Mind Listening to the Cluelessness of the First Lady in China

Everyone, please understand I live in China. I work in China. I am married in China. This is where my life is. I am working to sell my screenplays in China to places like Huayi Brothers with my new agency, CAA in Beijing. I'm getting my PhD in Chinese history. I teach Geography and History at the AP, IGCSE and A-level. . .and I speak rather good Mandarin. So, I can say I know what I'm talking about.

So, my wife flips on her iPhone and plays a new broadcast of Michelle giving an interview. In it, she says "I look forward to seeing all the new education initiatives here in China that we could try to use in the United States. I look forward to seeing the schools." And I exploded! This woman is God damned clueless.

Let's begin:

1: Chinese classrooms:
LIE MICHELLE WILL BE SHOWN:
Knowing the Chinese Government and their desire for maximum face, they will parade her to the "best" schools, meaning the schools that the elite send their students. Classes of 20 - 25 students in classrooms so clean you can eat off the floor. All in their uniforms pressed and their desks spotless, ready to learn what their teacher is teaching them. All attentive, taking notes, especially on the day Michelle shows up. Just the perfect classes.

REALITY:
Chinese schools are terrible. Most are failing apart. Paint peeling, windows broken, rusty gates, dust that hasn't been cleaned since the Great Leap Forward and guards that are asleep most of the time. Classes are filthy, have between 60 - 65 students in each. . .most students, especially the boys, will be sound asleep, since social promotion is the norm. After all, holding a kid back hurts their self-esteem. What will their friends think? Some kids (no evidence, just urban legends that have more validity than fact) have even committed suicide for failing and the teacher was brought up on criminal charges for creating a condition where the suicide could occur.

2: Chinese curriculum:
LIE MICHELLE WILL BE SHOWN:
Knowing schools here, the teacher will be told the lesson to teach and the students will be given pre-made, intelligent sounding questions that will show how inquisitive and into-the-lesson they are. This will give the appearance of good teaching and a sound educational ideas.

REALITY:
Asking a Chinese student to do any work is almost impossible. Questions are answered with blank stares and a look of "God help me. The teacher is talking to me. What do I do?" If that fear doesn't cripple them, the loss of face for being wrong is even worse, because teachers and schools actively encourage bullying as a form of "toughening up their students." Students rarely ask questions, barely given answers and the most common is "teacher, I don't know."

3: Chinese classroom management:
LIE MICHELLE WILL BE SHOWN:
Knowing Chinese teachers, they will be screaming at their students the day before Obama arrives about how their behavior will be judged poorly on their school, their parents and their teacher. If they have any love for China and their families, they will do everything the teacher says. In class, the teacher will walk around the classroom and do things an American teacher will do. This is because the principal and headmaster will instruct the teacher as to the techniques Michelle Obama is used to seeing in her kids' schools so the teacher should emulate it.

REALITY:
It is a long standing philosophy at all Normal Universities in China for teachers to "just teach the ones that care." If the kid is asleep, don't wake the students up. If the kid fails a test, keep giving the same test until the student gets at least a 70 and then record that grade. Chinese teachers normally do not walk through the class while teaching. They teach at their lectern, using a PPT and speaking in a boring, monotone Ben Stein voice. These is no checking for comprehension or retention. There is no real assessment of knowledge gained, only an appearance of doing the job.

4: Chinese teaching:
LIE MICHELLE WILL BE SHOWN
Test scores. Test scores. Test scores. Chinese students test scores are so damn high it's amazing. American students are stupid because their test scores are low. See, we should do what the Chinese do.

REALITY
All the schools are these days are test preparation centers. From first bell to last bell, they are only taught what is on the test, over and over, day in and day out. They are taught the test. Here in China, it's called "Gaokao." So, all the kids get is the answers to questions on past tests. All they learn is "if the question asks this, the answer is this." Ask a student how they got that answer or what the answer means and prepare for the blankest of blank stares or a reply of "Teacher, why does that matter? I got the answer right." Chinese students are amazing test takers and pitiful students. And the system has made that possible.

All in all, she will get nothing but bullcrap and it will be passed off as reality.

Maybe instead of going to Beijing, Xi'an and Chengdu, she should go to Yinchuan, Pingdingshan, Danyang or some other crap-hole city unannounced to see actual conditions. Then compare it to the states.

But since Michelle has NEVER been a teacher, what the hell does she know about a classroom in the first place?

Rant off, but education policy is my #1 issue. And this president, his wife and my party have thrown teachers under the bus just as much as Bush and Reagan did. Race to the Top is nothing more than a rebranding of "A Nation At Risk."

And using the Chinese education system as a model for improvement is nonsense. Come to Suzhou, Michelle. Sit down with a few of the teachers at my school. I dare you. I don't expect it. It doesn't fit the preconceived narrative.

Fred Phelps dies. . .and no one, not even his demon spawn family, cares.

So, in honor of the passing of this "person," I submit this cartoon showing his logical argument progression.



And with that, we close the door on this "person." And submit him to the craphole of history.

Top Ten Conservative Idiots of the Week

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]The Selling Endorsements Edition[/font]

Chris Christie can’t seem to keep his fat ass out of trouble. His 2016 aspirations should be dead, as should his re-election campaign if he can do that in NJ, but because he’s a Republican, he will continue to slog along (1). Right Wingers are going apeshit over Carl Sagan (4) and there is nothing more fresh than a domestic violence joke (9). Also, the Obama Administration is back on the list for another controversial entry (10). And as always, don't forget the key. Remember, you can run your mouse over the icon to see what it means.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]

What the hell was New Jersey thinking? Where the fuck were the Democrats when this toad ran for re-election? He hugged Obama after Sandy and all off the bullying, the sociopathy, the corruption. . .all of that disappears because now he’s good. So we throw a good Democrat under the bus and allow this fat bastard to win, giving him the political capital to be a potential front runner for the 2016 nomination. Why? Because he fucking hugged Obama???

Govenor Ballast is a God damn embarrassment to anyone with half a working, functioning brain in their heads. Last week, he cemented his bullshit with this little tidbit of Quid Pro Quo.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]For a state that lost hundreds of lives on Sept. 11, the gifts were emotionally resonant: pieces of steel from the ruins of the World Trade Center. They were presented by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to 20 carefully chosen New Jersey mayors who sat atop a list of 100 whose endorsements Gov. Chris Christie hoped to win.

Uhh. . .what? What? WHAT!?!?! He gave away bits and pieces of the Twin Towers to mayors as a way of getting their endorsement? Imagine how that went:

GHOUL CHRISTIE: “Support me and I’ll give you this blood covered piece of concrete wall, if you look closely, has bits of flesh and hair on it.”

GHOUL MAYOR: “Sign me up, Governor. I can use it as a conversation piece on my coffee table.”

Yes, ghouls! Fucking ghouls! Don’t say this is no different than selling piece of the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall was not a ground zero for death and destruction. Selling pieces of that was buying history. This is buying endorsements!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Mayors lower on the list of 100 — such as Mark Sokolich, of Fort Lee, at No. 45 — received other Port Authority perquisites: an intimate tour of the National September 11 Memorial, or the new World Trade Center construction site, or Port Authority money for jobs programs or new firefighting equipment, even in towns far from the port.

Wow! And for a special endorsement, Christie will let staffers give the mayors handjobs while telling them how great they are. At least the 9/11 saga will have a happy ending.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Turning wreckage of the twin towers into politically motivated gifts before Mr. Christie’s 2013 re-election was only one example. The authority became a means to reward friends (or hire them) and punish adversaries, and a bank to be used when Mr. Christie sought to avoid raising taxes. Major policy initiatives, such as instituting a large toll and fare increase in 2011, were treated like political campaigns to burnish the governor’s image.

What? He is petty enough to exact political revenge on people who don’t follow his fat ass hook, line and sinker? Like what happened on the GWB and Fort Lee? You don’t say.

Okay, so sum up:

01. Fat ass hugs Obama
02. The NJ Democrats throw their candidate under the bus and work to get Fat Ass re-elected
03. Fat Ass does shit behind the scenes to insure he has the endorsement he wants.
04. When an influential mayor refuses to endorse him, Christie uses the power of his office to exact political revenge.
05. It blows up on him and the media begins to work to discover the man all people with half a working brain knew he was in the first place.
06. The NYT discovers he sold off the WTC wreckage for endorsements.
07. And Fat Ass still won’t resign.

Ghouls! I hope you’re happy, New Jersey Democrats. You voted for him. And your party all but threw him the election.

The Wicked Witch of the North is a crazy person. Not just crazy, but bat-shit crazy too. She has attacked anyone that isn’t named Michelle Bachmann or doesn’t support her paranoid, delusional view of what America is. But her favorite target is gayo-Americans.

See, according to the soon-to-be-indicted one, Gay Americans have bullied, threatened, coerced and intimidated good, God-fearing American politicians into supporting their gay orgies and desires for gayness everywhere. And Gay Americans used every weapon at their disposal:

01: Being dragged to death like Matthew Sheppard.
02: Being beaten for being too feminine by insecure straight men
03: Cornering the market in the marriage biz.
04: Using the courts to demand equal protection under the law.
05: Spending money on supporting politicians that will support their causes.

But Bachmann sees something even more insidious. Something more hideous. Something downright destructive. All because Jan Brewer the Harpie vetoed a gay bashing bill in Arizona. Now, Michelle has her knickers in a twist.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"There's nothing about gays in there, but the gay community decided to make this their measure," she told conservative radio host Lars Larson during an interview at CPAC, as recorded by Right Wing Watch.

Really? Most read the bill, moron! It specifically targeted gay people. I don’t think religious fundamentalist nutjobs will mind black people. Well, maybe they will if you tell them Jesus was black. . .but the gays are things Jesus hates. The New Testament tells us that. . .I’ll find it.

Wait. . .wait. Nothing in the New Testament says that? Really? Oh. Please proceed, Congresswoman.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]BACHMANN: "And the thing that I think is getting a little tiresome is the gay community, they have so bullied the American people and they have so intimidated politicians that politicians fear them and so they think they get to dictate the agenda everywhere. Well, not with the Constitution you don't."

Really? Full Faith and Credit. . .if you’re married in one state, you’re married in all states. Just like driver’s licenses. And criminal records. If you’re an ex-con in New Hampshire. . .you’re an ex-con in Nevada if you move there. Remember that clause of the Constitution?

How about the 14th amendment full protection under the law clause? Oh, those don’t matter in Michelle Bachmann’s constitution. Amendment one of that: Fuck Gay People!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Bachmann then said that the gay community has pushed for laws and court rulings that violate religious freedom. "If you want take away my religious liberties, you can advocate for that but you do it through the constitutional process," she said. "You don’t intimidate and no politician should give away my religious liberties or yours."

I believe absolutely ZERO gay people have come out and worked to destroy religious freedom. If someone’s religion is threatened by a gay person, the problem isn’t the religious belief. The problem is the person.

If you take the word “gay” and replace it worth the word “n-bomb,” we’re back in the 1950s-1960s all over again. Remember, mixed racial marriages are the end of the world too.

Ready, aim. . .shoot yourself in the foot!

It is now official. The tea party is nothing more than nihilists with the sociopathic attitude of “if I can’t have it, no one can.” They are about to declare war on the Republicans in Virginia. Have at it, Hoss! Get me some popcorn.
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]It looks like Frank Wagner's despicable slating tactic to nullify any and all participation in the state and local politics by actual conservatives is spreading. I am hearing this could happen in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th districts as well. So instead of trying to work together and broaden the party, the Establishment all over Virginia has made it pretty clear that they only want either paid lackeys or bootlickers running the local committees. So if they continue to do this, there isn't much we can do.

Or is there.

Oh, a challenge. Someone sees a challenge in the workings. Please go on. What is the “Or is there” that you want to do, Mr. Tea Party Jihadist?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]What I propose is if the Establishment here in Virginia continues to use this tactic in order to disenfranchise any person who doesn't toe the line, we vote Democrat this year. Just this once. Consider this Operation Chaos 2.0. If they don't want us, lets see how they will feel if vote against them? This a free country and in my opinion, it is the duty of the party to serve its members, not the reverse. Unfortunately, when you get into power and surround yourself with paid yes-men, you lose sight of that.

WOW!!! The tea party is abandoning the Republican Party! If they don’t get 100% of what they want, they will vote for the candidate that will give them 0% rather than 90%. Damn! Someone hand them as many knives as you can. We need to see massive throat slitting now! Please vote for Democrats.

With this knowledge, the Democrats need to put up the most liberal, left wing Bernie Sanders types in all offices in Virginia.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Is this a radical step? Yes. Will this idea catch on? I hope so. Primaries are pointless if the system is gamed. The reason why people like Frank Wagner and his ilk hate conventions is because it is a system that he cannot game, cannot control, cannot dictate the outcome just because he's a state senator. For all the bullshit they spew about growing the party through primaries, let's seem them eat those words when they have effectively thrown out the activist base that does all the hard work and actually believes in what fake conservatives like Wagner et al say they believe in.

Preach to the choir, brother! Vote for Democrats. Give money to Democrats! Elect Democrats! Please teabaggers. . .enjoy that idea! We love it! It doesn’t matter where the votes come from so long as the Democrat gets the majority of them.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]They think we are patsies. They think we can be bullied and put down and beaten into line. But parties are overrated, they are simply vehicles for getting elected to enact your principles. What is in your heart is more important then the letter after your name on the ballot. If they want to play dirty, let's play dirtier.

So sacrifice your teabagger conservative principles and vote for liberal Democrats! That will show the Republican establishment who’s boss! While you’re at it, do it on national level too.

I see. . .Bush could railroad his shit. . .Obama tries to work with you children. . .and when you point, stamp your feet, cry and act like the spoiled rich kid who didn’t get the things they feel they deserve, Obama is a tyrant.

After he was done, Cantor then went into his office, got on his knees and began kissing the ass of a Chimera stature with the heads of David and Charles Koch. . And Rush Limbaugh. Then he soiled himself. Or maybe he didn’t. . .I don’t know and I don’t care.

Paul Ryan is another amazing guy. He who speaks with forked tongue can’t seem to stop lying or saying really stupid bullshit. Last week, he had a real doozy of a statement.

While appearing on Bill Bennett’s echo chamber, Ryan said this:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) previewed his upcoming legislative proposals for reforming America’s poverty programs during an appearance on Bill Bennett’s Morning in America Wednesday, hinting that he would focus on creating work requirements for men “in our inner cities” and dealing with the “real culture problem” in these communities. “We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work, and so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with,” he said.

Men in the inner cities? That is coded language for “black men.” So, when a black man isn’t working, he’s a lazy person. . .but if a black man is elected president (twice), he’s uppity and a tyrant. More sophistry.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Ryan also cited Charles Murray, a conservative social scientist who believes African-Americans are, as a population, less intelligent than whites due to genetic differences and that poverty remains a national problem because “a lot of poor people are born lazy.”

WOW!!! HOLY SHIT!!! Next he’ll quote George Fitzhugh who said that black people that were slaves at least had three hots and a cot and while the occasional slave master beat their slaves, the black slaves were better off than the white wage slaves. . .so let’s bring back slavery. At least then the lazy, inner city men will have jobs.

Resign now. . .just resign, asshole. You are unfit for office, public forums or even being seen in public. And no, all of this is true, as Think Progress has reported.

I wonder if he’ll bring up the Protocols of the Elders of Zion next when he talks about Jews. Wouldn’t be surprising? After all, it took one black man to expose the racist underbelly of the modern Republican Party. . .a Jewish man would completely destroy them. And God forbid. . .a woman president!

Unless that woman’s Sarah Palin, then it’s a-okay.

Imagine you are an eight year old girl in a green uniform. You have a list of names in your hand and are walking through your neighborhood with your parents. You go door to door and ask people if they would do what has truly become an American tradition and a pleasant piece of Americana. . .the Girl Scout Cookie drive.

You’re doing a good job selling your cookies. . .then you knock on someone’s door. The adult in the house answers and you give your speech. The adult instantly starts screaming at you that you support abortion and are Godless and need to die. . .then slams the door in your face.

I know. . .this couldn’t happen. But it will during this year’s Girl Scout Cookie-cott.

First a little background.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Launched in 1912, the Girl Scouts of the USA started as a single pack of girls in Savannah, Georgia, meeting in the hopes of getting out of their “isolated home environments and into community service and the open air.” Founder Juliette Gordon Low, an artist and athlete, saw her personal mission in launching the troop as “to go on with my heart and soul, devoting all my energies to Girl Scouts, and heart and hand with them, we will make our lives and the lives of the future girls happy, healthy and holy.”

Since that first troop, tens of millions of girls have joined the scouts, forming friendships, earning badges for new skills and, of course, selling the Girl Scout cookies so ubiquitously linked in every person’s mind with the organization. Beginning in 1917, when the first cookies were sold by an Oklahoma troop in a local high school as a service project, troops now sell approximately 200 million boxes per year, resulting in around $700 million in sales.

Well we can’t have girls involved in the community and doing things to be “happy, healthy and holy.” Well, Holy is okay. . .if they support and worship the same invisible man I worship in the same ways I do it. Girls need to be barefoot, in the home, with two black eyes making my dinner with three kids and fourth in the oven. That’s where this uppity little tykes should be. How DARE they destroy that? You know, soon they may want to even work at real jobs and. . .vote! The humanity. The horror.

So, why are the wingnuts going apeshit now?
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The most recent in a long line of perceived offenses, and the one that spurred the latest cookie boycott, was the organization’s alleged endorsement of Texas state senator Wendy Davis, who last June famously filibustered the state’s new law that will close most of the abortion providers in Texas. The Girl Scouts’ Twitter account tweeted a link to a Huffington Post Live segment discussing potential candidates for woman of the year for 2013. Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis was mentioned as a contender, as were singer Beyonce, Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai and even “the brave women on social media.”

Are these people that emotionally insecure? Are their egos that fractured? Are their dicks that small? It wasn’t an endorsement. It was mentioning an important woman that they can use to show their Scouts that any girl can be just as good, maybe even better than a man. . .which is why I call Jay-Z “Mr. Beyonce.”

Such bullcrap. And it goes to great length to show just at stupid it is.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]01. Just a few months earlier, in October, right-wing Colorado radio pastors Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner of Generations Radio were urging a boycott of cookies because the Girl Scouts were a “wicked organization” that “doesn’t promote godly womanhood” and in fact “is antithetical to a biblical vision for womanhood,” according to Swanson.

02. In 2012, the Family Research Council, the Christian right advocacy group headed by Tony Perkins, urged its 455,000 followers to pray that cookie sales would lag so that the Girl Scouts would break off their alleged relationship with Planned Parenthood. “The Scouts had better confess their errors and make a clean break while they can,” read the alert, which also urged prayer for the congressional defunding of Planned Parenthood.

03. Even as far back as a decade ago, anti-abortion organizations were boycotting their local troops to punish them for participating in events with Planned Parenthood affiliates. In the case of Waco, Texas, a boycott of cookies in 2004—launched over a partnership with Planned Parenthood for a sex-ed event—continued on even after the troop dropped its co-sponsorship. (Pro-Life Waco’s continuing boycott has now become the staging ground for the current 2014 cookie-cott.)

So when that door is slammed in that Girl Scout’s face and she goes back crying to her parents, her parents will ask what happened. Imagine the look on the parents’ faces when she says “That person in that house called me a baby killing diesel dyke that hate America. I never killed a baby.”

Try explaining that one to your daughter. Sickening.

Spokane, Washington has a long history of nazi sympathizers loving the place so much they setup shop there. It’s similar now to Kingman, Arizona. So it should come as absolutely no shock to anyone that some nazi racist scum-sucking asshole pulled the same nazi shit to immigration reform advocates that Steve King does, except this prick didn’t mask it in politically viable language.

Wow. Intelligent, classy, thought-provoking and brave. Didn’t stick around to get his photo taken. Didn’t stick around for anyone to find out what this asshole’s name is. Moronic.

At least Fast for Families did what they should have done in dealing with this prick.

It’s nice to see some decorum. Sadly, this writer isn’t one that has decorum. I’ll let one of my biggest heroes in life explain what should have be said to this nazi clown.

Are you busting a gut laugh yet? Isn’t it funny? A beating your wife joke by an elected Republican (what a fucking surprise). This asshat’s name is Kyle Tasker and he represents some district in New Hamsphire. And he’s embarrassing them big time every time he opens his mouth.

Again, look at the photo. This crappy story all started because another Republican named Mark Warden got raked over coals for being a sexist pig as well. According to TPM:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The Huffington Post has a screenshot taken by Tucker with the full image of the Facebook discussion, including Tasker's post, here.

Rep. Mark Warden (R) was criticized for a comment he made last year during a hearing on a bill related to domestic violence laws.

“Some people could make the argument that a lot of people like being in abusive relationships," Warden said, according to WMUR News. "It's a love-hate relationship."

The New Hampshire Republican party would not defend Warden, according to the Huffington Post. Tasker and others on Monday started to discuss the state GOP's refusal to defend Warden on the Greater Nashua Tea Party's Facebook page.

Yes. . .all women being beaten LOOOOVE it, asshole. It has nothing to do with the fact that most are so terrified of their abuser they stay out of fear. No. . .it’s love/hate. Mark, do you still beat your wife? Or, are you just a massive sexist that you just brow-beat her?

Anyway, Kyle decided to defend this clown.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"Warden is so principled it offends people," Tasker wrote on Facebook.

It’s principled to make stupid comments about domestic violence? Two weeks ago on the Top Ten, a Democrat in Texas running for District Attorney stated that those who are victims of domestic violence “need to learn how to box better.” Now a Republican does the same shit.

Unreal the loathing modern American politics have for women. But all is not lost. . .see, Tasker refuses to apologize.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A New Hampshire state lawmaker is refusing to apologize for posting a sexually explicit image on Facebook about "battered women," saying it was never meant to be a joke and is being misconstrued.

"I didn't mean that as a joke, it was a t-shirt print I thought was pretty ridiculous that someone would wear that around," Tasker said, according to WMUR.

Yes. . .pure. Pure horsecrap. My God. . .just apologize and then resign! Luckily the Democrats came out with a perfect response.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"Every time we think a Republican member of the legislature has set a new low, another one does something worse," said state Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley.

Finally. . .this will get alot of negative press, but again, when the Obama Administration is wrong. . .it’s wrong and nothing will change that.

All this snooping and spying on Americans without warrants or probable cause needs to stop. And it needs to stop now. 9/11 did not invalidate the 4th amendment. And that’s not a pre-9/11 mindset. It’s a post-1776 mindset.

As does protecting torturers. I know, he let Bush and Cheney go free. We’re not surprised at that. But now he’s stopping the Senate from oversight.

The White House has allegedly rejected or ignored written and verbal requests for committee members to review the materials, which relate to the agency’s “enhanced interrogation” program shut down near the beginning of Obama’s presidency. Committee staff members allegedly first learned about the documents in 2009, but it is not clear whether the CIA granted them access to them before the White House made them unavailable.

Don’t worry. They will never see the light of day. Expect “national security” or “executive privilege to be used as an excuse.

All of this happened because Dianne Feinstein doesn’t like that the CIA broke into her computer in the Senate.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The report comes a day after Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) publicly accused the agency of illegally searching Senate staff members’ computers. Feinstein has allegedly written several letters to Kathryn Ruemmler, the president’s chief legal advisor, asking her to mediate the dispute between the CIA and the committee, but has never gotten a response.

Why should Ruemmler respond? DiFi is just a Senator. . .she’s a nobody. A nothing. Besides, DiFi has had no problems when the CIA and the NSA illegally search everyday American’s computers, emails, text messages and what not. That’s acceptable. DiFi is a nobody. The average American is less than a nobody.

So, what did Obama do about this? HE did what he’s good at doing. Being an ostrich.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In the president’s first remarks about the dispute since Dianne Feinstein, the chairwoman of the Senate intelligence accused the CIA of a cover-up and intimidation directed at her staff, Obama said it was not a matter for the White House to “wade into at this point”.

Yes. . .why should the White House investigate something an agency in the Executive Branch does? It has better things to do. . .like putting medical marijuana dispensary owners in prison and telling teachers they are at the bottom of the barrel.

But in the end, Obama’s lawyer met with DiFi for a heart-to-heart chat.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]White House spokesman Jay Carney confirmed that CIA Director John Brennan and the CIA's acting general counsel both referred the Senate's treatment of classified documents to the Justice Department for a possible criminal investigation.

Feinstein says that referral is merely an attempt to intimidate the intelligence committee’s staff, whom she claims was acting appropriately. The California Democrat was particularly incensed because the CIA lawyer who asked for the criminal investigation was himself the subject of the probe into interrogation practices.

The article says pretty much nothing, so good reporting, NBC News. Way to carry the water of the United States government. After this was over, DiFi went to the airwaves and said “You little American peons deserve to get spied on. If you didn’t want to be spied upon, you should have been born a United States Senator,” while President Obama did another photo op with Mr. And Mrs. Beyonce Knowles at a fund raiser where people paid $40K a piece for a plate of chips and runny, fake nacho cheese.

Sometimes, this president does things that one can truly support. Then he pulls this crap. And the cynical attitudes of his base thinking he abandoned them come right back. Too bad he, and the rest of the Democrats in power, don’t care.

See you next week.

Top Ten Conservative Idiots of the Week

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]The Gross Hypocrites Edition[/font]

This week, the entire list will revolve around gross Republican hypocrisy. Josh Miller (1) is a medical hypocrite, Pat McCrory (3) is a business hypocrite, Lindsay Graham (7) is just a hypocrite and Jerry Boykin (10) is a complete racist hypocrite. And as always, don't forget the key. Remember, you can run your mouse over the icon to see what it means. At the end, the writer will give a small tribute to the passing of Bartcop.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]

No, that is not fraudulent, nor is it inaccurate. This turd, Josh Miller of Arkansas wins the award for biggest fucking hypocrite of the year! Yes! It’s only March and this scum pile has won it.

Let’s look at his past.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]More than a decade ago, Arkansas Rep. Josh Miller (R) was in a catastrophic car accident that broke his neck and left him paralyzed. Medicare and Medicaid paid the $1 million bill for his hospitalization and rehabilitation.

God damn. A cool million for repairing his broken body. And it was all paid for by the public use of Medicare and Medicaid. It’s a success story. We should all be happy and glad the system worked.

But he’s a Republican. . .so it has to go south real fast. And oh, does it!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]But this week, as the Arkansas legislature has debated continuing its privatized Medicaid expansion under Obamacare, Miller has remained steadfast in his opposition. The Arkansas Times highlighted the contrast in a Thursday report. The alternative newspaper reported that Miller receives ongoing coverage through the government programs, including Medicaid-covered personal care assistance.

WOW!!!! He is against Obamacare and giving poor people access to health insurance, but still uses Medicaid to pay for personal care after the fact. Stunningly and disgustingly full of shit!

Of course he was asked about the glaring hypocrisy of his position! So, here is hubris mixed Chutzpah. It’s normally called a “Republican Bullshit Salad.”
[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The difference, he said, is that some of the 100,000 people who have gained coverage through Arkansas’s Medicaid expansion don’t work hard enough or just want access to the program so they can purchase and abuse prescription drugs.

"My problem is two things," Miller said. "One, we are giving it to able-bodied folks who can work … and two, how do we pay for it?"

Okay. . .do you have any proof that people abuse prescription drugs on the Medicaid expansion? Do you have any evidence at all? I mean, fatboy Limbaugh abuse(d)s them alot. . .but he’s a Republican and IOKIYAR.

Second. . .now you are in the Arkansas State Senate. You are an able-bodied folk who can work! Why do you use medicard, asshat?

Maybe the car accident damaged his brain. . .wait. That would imply Josh Miller has one to damage. And equating him with brain damaged people is an insult to all brain damaged people. Maybe he’s just a greedy, self-serving, hypocritical, sociopath troglodyte. Yeah. . .that’s it!

So, Congratulations, Arkansas State Senator Josh Miller. You are the biggest asshole of 2014! Way to go!

Meet Janis Lane! Thinker, speaker, sexist woman hater.

See, according to this harpie (yes, that phrase fits), giving a woman suffrage was the beginning of the end of motherhood, apple pie and the American way. And Janis Lane is a WOMAN saying this! Apparently, her voting is bad!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“I’m really going to set you back here. Probably the biggest turn we ever made was when the women got the right to vote. Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting. There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person. I do not see that in men. The whole time I worked, I’d much rather have a male boss than a female boss. Double-minded, you never can trust them.

Wow. Where do begin? Just men voting would be good. . .so much for all equality. I don’t see you renouncing your right to vote. What would be worse is if Janis Lane. . .voted.

But let’s look at that. Women voting! It’s just the beginning. Soon, they will want to be treated equally too. And get equal pay for the same work a man gets. Then, they will want to drive. Women drivers. What an insane idea. Of course, after all of that, they will want grow a penis and take the place of men. Or worse yet. . .find another woman and have sex with her. AHHH!!! The world is coming to an end. All because you damn uppity broads wanted to vote. DAMN YOU, ELIZABETH CADY STANTON!!!

But, I guess when Janis Lane says sexist shit, it’s okay. After all, she is a woman. And she just keeps the bullshit going nonstop.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]LANE: Because women have the right to vote, I am active, because I want to make sure there is some sanity for women in the political world. It is up to the Christian rednecks and patriots to stand up for our country. Everyone has the right to vote now that’s 18 or over (who is) a legal citizen, and every person that’s 18 and over and a legal citizen should be active in local politics so they can make a change locally, make a change on the state level and make a change in Washington, D.C

Yes. . .because what the world needs more of is fundie Christian rednecks who stand up for an idea of a country that never fucking existed! But keep trying, Janis. . .just don’t vote, or else you are not only a hypocrite but a liar, fraud and grifter.

After she was done, she looked into the camera and offered her advice to rape survivors by telling them to “shut up, lay down open your legs and enjoy it. It’s a man’s job to sexually dominate, control, humiliate and defile a woman. Don’t worry though. Todd Akin told me you can’t get pregnant if it’s legitimate rape.” Then she muttered something about women have no rights and “coe with me prisoner 24601.”

Pat MrCrory is the latest Republican governor to get his ass handed to him. Let’s look at the list:

01: Bob McDonnell and his bribes
02: Pat LePage and his mouth
03: Scott Walker and his Kochsucking
04: Tom Corbett and his being Tom Corbett
05: Chris Christie and his bullying
06: Rick Scott and his lying

At least Mike Pence and Sam Brownback are destroying their respective states while not being emersed in scandal. But we can’t say the same for Pat McCrory. See, the Duke Energy Corporation dumped at least a billion (exaggeration) tons of coal ash into a river in North Carolina. Apparently, this isn’t that good for the environment or even for laws (as lax as they are in North Carolina). But don’t worry. . .Pat McCrory is coming to the rescue. . .of his former boss. Yes, it seems he worked for Duke for a long ass time. But don’t worry, there is no conflict of interest here. Why? Well, he told us there isn’t one. So, we know we can always believe a hypocritical teabagging Republican.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory says that his 29 years at Duke Energy Corp. will not predispose him to ask state officials to go easy on his former employer following last month’s massive coal ash spill on the Dan River.

Yeah. . .I just feel the trust and integrity. Especially after saying during his election that he would bring Democrats and Republicans together and not be extreme on any side, then shifted North Carolina waaaaaaaay to the right. We can believe you.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]McCrory tells the News & Record in an article that appeared Sunday that the opposite is true. In his first interview since the spill that addressed his history at Duke, the governor said, “I know infrastructure and I know management and I know engineering. Somewhere along the way there has been a breakdown in ensuring that site was properly maintained.

“That’s a serious, serious breakdown within that company that must be addressed,” he said.

You worked there for 29 years and are talking as if you have never heard of them. “A serious breakdown within that company?” I guess saying “the place I worked for 29 years really fucked up and I should have known, because, as you know I worked there for 29 years” is just too much honesty for one Republican to handle.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In the interview, McCrory talked about starting out at Duke (NYSE: DUK) in a management training program in 1978 and how the company allowed him to cut back his work schedule after he was elected mayor of Charlotte in 1995. He continued to work for the company until he resigned to run for governor in 2008.

Never mind that guy behind the curtain dressed in the Duke Energy suit holding strings that mysteriously attach to McCrory’s arms, hands, legs and testicles. McCrory is is own man. And apparently really hates being challenged by anyone.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]He bristled at the suggestion that he received a paycheck for little or no work for the company in his years as mayor, saying he worked on economic development issues outside of Charlotte. And he said his responsibility now is to the state.

Why don’t you get the interviewer fired like you did to the shop worker who challenged you, asshole? I forgot. . .reporters are harder to get canned than a member of the American underclass. Better yet, why not just come out and say “Duke Energy owned my ass as mayor of Charlotte and they still own my ass and there ain’t nothing you pissants can do about it. Vote for me! Vote for me!”

So what do you do when you’re a redneck sheriff from North Carolina. . .oh shit. Two times on the list this week. DUers in North Carolina, please cringe. I’m from Arizona so I have little sympathy for you. Look at what Arizonans have to deal with.

Apparently, Sheriff Terry Johnson of of Alamance County emailed to his deputies a link to a violent video game. There’s nothing wrong with that. However, this video game depicts the brutal murder and slaughter of illegal immigrants, including children and pregnant women.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Lawyers for the U.S. Justice Department filed new documents this week in their complaint against Alamance County Sheriff Terry S. Johnson, who is accused of violating the rights of citizens and legal residents by detaining and arresting Latinos without probable cause. Prosecutors are asking a federal judge to find in their favor without a trial, citing extensive evidence of racial bias.

Come on. . .he is a mini Arpaio, except his racist bullshit is out in the open where all can see it, while Joe Arpaio (R-Pits of Hell) masks it behind his badge.

Besides, if latinos didn’t want to be arrested without probable cause, they should have been born rich, white and Christian.

Don’t worry, Johnson lawyered up fast.

Dismiss the case? Okay. . .just show us your email cache and that is acceptable. After all, an innocent man has nothing to hide.

Remember, “Kill the Wetbacks” is the new fun game for law enforcement. Bonus points for killing children. Double bonus for killing pregnant women, because that fetus needs to die too. Fun for the whole family. . .and while he’s playing, your child is learning a valuable lesson. Namely, it’s okay to be a racist, hypocritical asshole, so long as you carry a badge.

Steve Stockman lost by a huge margin last week in the Texas Senate primary, proving for a little while that while Texas is crazy, they aren’t too crazy to have two nutjob Senators representing them.

But that’s not the big news. Apparently, our boy Steve was arrested in 1977 on traffic violations warrants and was discovered to have valium stuffed up his ass and his bush. Ewww. . .he was going to eat fum-under cheese valium? Pardon me while I puke.

While he was in the pokey, his jailers discovered the twenty-year-old future politician had Valium in his underpants, because where else would you keep it? Since Stockman was arrested, he has a mugshot, and he is very perturbed that said mugshot is winging around the internet, thanks to a PAC.

What? A overly pious, sociopathic Republican teabagger got arrested you say? And he’s upset that the arrest is on the public record? Oh my fucking God. . .if you didn’t want people to know about it, Stevie, you shouldn’t have run for Congress. That’s the point. IF you have something in your past you don’t want people to see, just come clean instead of pretending you’re something your not. Like pretending you’re not a criminal when you are and being hard on criminals.

Ferguson wrote on Stockman’s campaign website:
Michigan’s 43rd Judicial District Clerk stated Stockman was never convicted of any charge and the documents were supposed to have been destroyed in 1978. Another Michigan official has advised Stockman he has grounds to file criminal complaints against any person or media organization that published the documents.

It’s called an arrest record. And why would the documents be destroyed in 1978? Because Stockman knew 36 years later, he’d run for Senate from Texas. I gotta get me a crystal ball that can help me find out the Power Ball then, since he had one in 1978.

He also threatened to have anyone that posted it arrested. Well, I don’t want to get arrested, but I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge so:

Biology. Simple biology, Steve. Here is the article Steve quotes. It’s from an intelligent design website.

So, for all you science people, God created heaven and Earth and natural law. Natural Law was born in the mind of the heavenly father. He can alter it, cancel it, change it as he pleases. It bothers me that you apostles of Science can’t grasp this simple fact.

Rusty battleship Lindsay Graham is still having Ben-ghasm. Apparently, a scandal that isn’t a scandal but a partisan witch-hunter’s wet dream is all Lindsay Graham has to live for anymore. He has no life, no future, no nuts, no brain, no soul, no personality and I’m sure even his dog thinks he’s an two-bit asshole.

So last week, Vladimir Putin did his best blitzkrieg impersonation and attempted to start World War 3 by invading the sovereign nation of Ukraine because there are Russians that that might be getting oppressed. Just like the Sudetenland and Austria and the Polish corridor and Saarland.

Not to sit back on his laurel of keeping Obama on his toes with the Ben-ghasm, Graham launched into a tirade as to how Ukraine = Benghazi. Logic leaps are deep friends of blind partisanship. Dazzle us, Lindsay.

Lindsey Graham said Tuesday Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to invade the Crimea region of Ukraine after taking note of how U.S. President Barack Obama dealt with the aftermath of the Benghazi attack, which killed four Americans, including a U.S. ambassador.

Really? Evidence please? Or are you talking out of your ass again? You have a psychic channel into Pootie-Pu’s mind. Tell me what he thinks of his KGB past. Better yet, since you’re psychic, Quicken Loans is having a Billion Dollar contest if someone can successfully predict the winners of all games of March Madness.

When you kill Americans and nobody pays a price, you invite this type of aggression,” Graham tweeted Tuesday afternoon.

Again, what does Benghazi have to do with Ukraine? What targeted Americans? The other is a landgrab attempt. But keep reaching there, buddy. You’ll connect the dots soon enough.

And unless we push back soon, the worse is yet to come.”

Wait. . .we got involved in Egypt and Syria. And the diplomacy worked. I know what his problem is. Lindsay has no children, so he thinks no one else should too. He is upset unless the US sends other people’s children overseas to die in a war Lindsay Graham’s MIC controllers demand.

Gotta feed the MIC monster. More money, more blood, more bodies. It’s always hungry. And crypt keeper Graham will happily throw those bodies in.

Well, we can’t have that. We need to prosecute those sending the threats and show people that threatening the lives of anyone is wrong and illegal.

Yes. . .testify and all the bad people will stop threatening you. They will just threaten the next person your bosses, John, and the Republicans feel have slighted them. I’m sure Skinner, Elad and EarlG have received numerous death threats. All because we have this constitutional right to speak our minds.

But you know what conservatives say: If you can’t beat them, kill them, or at least threaten to kill them. Since most conservatives are putrid cowards, it’s all they have.

BTW, thanks, Raw Story, for giving cover for Boykin by staying his racism was “joking.” You know, once, this redneck cracker came into my yard, so I threw soap on him and burned a bible in front of him while pissing on a gun and shitting on the American flag.

After he was finished, Boykin beat up a gay person, set fire to at a homeless person, ran over a black person and burned a cross at a Jewish Temple. . .because Jesus told him to hate everyone not named Jerry Boykin. And this asshat defended my country? This is the type of person that become Lt. Generals? Oh. My. Fucking. God!

On a side note. . .perennial nut job Ted “Cat Scratch Fever and nothing else. . .Ever” Nugent didn’ make the list this week. Come on, Ted. We miss you on the Top Ten. You make everyone laugh, groan and be embarrassed because everyone loves looking at a train wreck.

See you next week.

Bartcop was one of the first sites this writer went to for honest, if caustic, commentary. Coppage was the Rude Pundit’s grandfather in terms of manner of presenting ideas. I believe without Bartcop, there would be no Rude Pundit.

I never met the man personally. Another person I wish I met in life but will never have the opportunity to talk to. I believe the conservation would have been engaging, colorful and rather pointed and direct. Neither Bartcop nor the writer of the Top Ten hold back. He was an inspiration of mine to develop my prose, even if no one wanted care and even if no one wanted to hear it.

In 2002, I found Democratic Underground through Bartcop. What got me hooked on this site was the exact article I write now. Every Monday, I would read, laugh, scream and cry at the idiots that came out. Bartcop brought me to DU and I am forever grateful. Because, here at DU, I’ve met some of the best, most intelligent and most astute people on the web. I don’t always agree with everything said and the arguments can get rather heated and personal, but we all share the same end game ideas: A functioning middle class, single payer health care, well funded school, the end to liberty destroying policies, the end of pointless, endless wars and the end of institutionalized racism, bigotry and intolerance in the United States and all over the world.

Terry Coppage, you will be missed. But your fight doesn’t end with your passing. Someone else will pick up the torch and run with it. Without Lenny bruce, there would be no Richard Pryor or George Carlin. . .without Bartcop, there would be no Democratic Underground, Rude Pundit and EvilGOPBastards.

Thank you, Bartcop. Godspeed.

Anti-Chinese bias in American Hollywood is the reason Chinese movies get destroyed by them

http://article.yeeyan.org/view/234235/249175

There has been a long and on-going debate between some Chinese and westerners on whether the western media are biased in their China coverage or not. As defenders of western media rightly point out, negative news and critical commentaries may displease the Chinese, but they do not necessarily amount to biased coverage. Besides, there are plenty of positive stories about China in the western media too.

某些中国人和西方人之间，有关西方媒体在报道中国时是否带有偏见的争论，已行之多时，且犹在继续。西方媒体的辩护者们，不无合理地指出：负面新闻和批判性的评论或许引起中国人的不快，但这并不必然导致（西方媒体）总体上带有偏见。此外，西方媒体上也存在大量报道涉及中国的正面事迹。

But the accusation of bias does not seem entirely unfounded. A case in point: Western media’s treatment of Zhang Yimou’s Nanjing massacre film “The Flowers of War.”

然而，指责其偏私的论调并非看上去毫无根据。张艺谋导演的“金陵十三钗”涉及南京大屠杀，对待这部电影，西方媒体的作为，是一种能说明问题的样本。

When news came out that “Flowers” had failed to win a Golden Globe award and wasnot even shortlisted for an Oscar nomination in the best foreign-language film category, some Chinese said the result was just what they had expected given that the film had been described as an anti-Japanese propaganda in biased western media reports.

“金陵十三钗”在金球奖评选中出局，以及奥斯卡最佳外国语类电影提名亦未获入围的消息出现之际，某些中国人说这个结果不出所料，即该电影被偏私的西方媒体报道当作反日政治宣传。

Top Ten Conservative Idiots of the Week

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]The Academy Awards Edition[/font]

This week was a bumper crop of dumb-fuckery, so it’s time to give out the DU Oscars for conservative idiocy. There were a whole bunch of asshats, dipshits and fuckwits intermixed with the usual moron, racist, bigot and sexist. All in all, the nominees were plentiful. Scott Walker (1) proves he is a corrupt, Kochsucking whore, Rand Paul (2) is a hypocrite, Dick Cheney proves he is a heartless asshole again (8) and Ted Nugent just keeps talking (10). And as always, don't forget the key. Remember, you can run your mouse over the icon to see what it means.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]

When people think of big time, Kocksucking losers in the world, the first name that comes up is Scott Walker, Republican Governor of Wisconsin.

See, Walker is what happens when Democrats get angry because the president didn’t give them 100% of everything they wanted, so they stay off, cutting off their nose to spite their face and allowing assholes like Kaisich, Walker, Scott, Haley, LePage, Christie, Brewer, McCrory and Corbett to hijack the country.

The problem is their power rests on a intricate group of lies and shady deals. And one thing most power hungry, obtuse politicians don’t seem to understand is lies get discovered quickly. . .so more lies need to be told to cover your ass. And the new lies are even bolder and more grandiose than the original lies.

Scottie Walker is finding that out now. Because apparently, he ordered people to break the law to promote him online. Whoops!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In the heat of the 2010 governor’s race, Scott Walker urged both county employees and campaign aides to go to news websites and post comments promoting him and his record, newly unsealed documents show.

Ummm. . .record producers used to do this in the 1950s and into the 1970s in a scandal called “payola.” It seems the new political payola is to force your underlings to break the law to advance your political ambitions. Don’t worry, Scottie pleaded ignorance, then got offended that someone would question him about it.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Scott Walker’s defense has always been that he had no connection to any of this, but it is impossible to make that argument when a message sent from his Blackberry ends up posted nearly word for word on a website just a half of an hour after he sent it. On Fox News Sunday, Walker refused to answer questions, and got very defensive when asked about the emails.

Most people would get defensive too, when their ass was being handed to them. It’s the first sign of complete guilt. Attack the accusation and accuse the accuser. Walker then trotted out his famous “I haven’t been charged with a crime so I did nothing wrong” defense. And heads full of logic went boom!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]His main defense is that he wasn’t charged with a crime. However, not being charged with a crime isn’t the same thing as not committing a crime. Walker’s refusal to answer questions about the emails is only serving to heighten the scrutiny on the governor.

Exactly. . .not being charged with murder during a murder investigation does not mean the “person of interest” isn’t the guilty party. It just means there isn’t enough evidence to warrant a charge. . .yet.

But, using his logic. . .WHEN he is charged, does that mean his defense is dead? He wasn’t charged with a crime, so he is innocent. So when he is charged, he’s guilty? Anyone tell this brain-dead halfwit to keep his mouth shut and not make things worse?

This isn’t all of this either. He did more too.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Walker's campaign spokesman Jonathan Wetzel said Friday that emails asking people to post comments were not directives to government employees.

Oh no? What were they? Helpful suggestions? Warm tips? Undemanded mandates? Come on, when it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck. Or, an even better analogy: Don’t piss on my shoes and tell me it’s raining.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"The post was an observation made to a multitude of individuals. They were trusted to determine how best to handle that observation based on their own individual capacity," Wetzel said. "Neither the governor nor the campaign are aware of who made the post."

The post duplicated and carried out an email directive Walker sent to about two dozen people

Ignorance is so wonderful. It’s the last attempt of a drowning corrupt politician to shift the blame. “I” “do not” and “recall” are fantastic excuses. As Ronnie Raygun!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]There is enough evidence in these emails for a new investigation into Gov. Walker. If the state won’t investigate, the apparent level of corruption is so severe that this may require federal involvement. It appears that Scott Walker committed numerous crimes, but it may take a public outcry for justice to be done.

Pretty soon, the icons [div style="display:inline-block; padding-left:0.3077em;" title="Indicted"] , [div style="display:inline-block; padding-left:0.3077em;" title="Arrest"], and [div style="display:inline-block; padding-left:0.3077em;" title="Prison"] will be used for Scott Walker.

The Kentucky Rug Doctor has come back to life and this time, he’s pissed off at Barack Obama (what a surprise).

Apparently, Ayn Rand Paul (R-Batshit Crazyland) wants to block the new surgeon general. Not because the nominee, Dr. Vivek Murthy, isn’t qualified. . .but because Murthy isn’t a gun humping asshole like Paul is.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]On Wednesday — two years to the day after George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin — Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) placed a hold on President Barack Obama’s nominee for Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, over Murthy’s view that gun violence represents a significant public health threat.

Guns aren’t a public health threat. Everyone knows bullets don’t kill. Everyone knows guns don’t kill people. People kill people. Look what happened in Kunming, in China, last week, when 33 people will killed in knife and sword attacks. See, those things kill. They are public health risks. One, though, has to question, if using Kunming (a city of amazing beauty, by the way), if the people who did the attack had guns, would their have been only 29 people killed, or would their have been more?

Please pander, Paul! Give us your best spin.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“In his efforts to curtail Second Amendment rights, Dr. Murthy has continually referred to guns as a public health issue on par with heart disease and has diminished the role of mental health in gun violence,” wrote Paul in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Your Republican God, Ronnie Raygun, emptied the mental health wards and pretty much bankrupted the entire federal budget for mental health and now you’re taking the mental health route, “Dr.” Paul. What a fucking hypocrite!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“As a physician, I am deeply concerned that he has advocated that doctors use their position of trust to ask patients, including minors, details about gun ownership in the home… Dr. Murthy has disqualified himself from being Surgeon General because of his intent to use that position to launch an attack on Americans’ right to own a firearm under the guise of a public health and safety campaign.”

Next up for the Rug Doctor. . .disqualifying the Sec. Of Transportation because of his support for increased fuel emissions standards. It’s an attack on Americans’ right to pollute the environment and make my oil overlords wealthier under the guise of wanting to make a sustainable energy policy.

So, Rand Paul is against a doctor using their position to say that guns are a public health risk. How about a doctor using his position to make jokes about his gunshot victims? I hear you saying that can’t be true, but it is.

Milton Wolfe is challenging non-Kansas resident Pat Roberts for the Republican nomination to the US Senate from Kansas. Now, according to law, Roberts should already be disqualified because he doesn’t live in Kansas, but owns a “recliner” in a donor’s living room. Wolfe should be the nominee because he actually lives in Kansas, but fuck the law when you’re a Republican.

Anyway, Wolfe is a good teabagger, meaning he is stupid, clueless, obtuse and arrogant. He posted online, X-rays of gun shot victims and made nasty, snarky comments about them.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In one instance, Wolf posted an X-ray of a patient “decapitated” by gunfire. “One of my all-time favorites,” he wrote. “From my residency days there was a pretty active ‘knife and gun club’ at Truman Medical Center. What kind of gun blows somebody’s head completely off? I’ve got to get one of those.”

Wow! Just wow! What kind of gun blows somebody’s head completely off? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! What a knee slapper, slappy! Damn! What else do you have?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“It reminds (me) of the scene from Terminator 2,” he continued, “when they shoot the liquid metal terminator guy in the face at close range and it kind of splits him open temporarily almost like a flower blooming. We all find beauty in different things.”

LMFAO!!! LOL! ROFL!!! A blowing someone’s face off joke! Damn, these are fresh! You are quite the joker, Milton.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]In a separate instance Wolf joked about repositioning a murdered patient’s head for an X-ray of his fatal gunshot wound. “It’s not like the patient was going to complain,” he wrote. Topeka Capital-Journal’s Tim Carpenter alleged that according to the date of the posting and the comments, the X-ray was posted before the victim’s funeral. (Wolf refused to speculate on that.)

God. . .the tears from the laughter! Seriously! The victim isn’t going to complain! PRICELESS!!! And posting the x-rays at the funeral. COMIC GOLD!!!

In the dictionary under asshole, it says see Milton Wolfe. And this is what Kansas will probably elect to the Senate, if their election for their shitwad governor is any measure.

This is going to be a long entry. Because it appears Homophobia lane doesn’t just exist in the United States, but there is a Homophobia Lane everywhere people have narrow minded, bigoted attitudes and superior complexes.

First stop, Uganda, that bastion of human rights. Apparently, they just passed something called “Kill the Gays” Law. Nice, huh? Cute name. What does it do?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Uganda’s "Kill the Gays" bill imposes lifetime imprisonment for conviction of homosexuality, lifetime imprisonment for entering into a same-sex marriage, 7 years imprisonment for conducting a same-sex marriage, 7 years imprisonment for advocacy by or on behalf of LGBT people, 5 years imprisonment for providing housing to LGBT people, and 7 years imprisonment for providing services to LGBT people.

How nice? Normally, places just outlaw the acts of gay sex (oral, anal, etc) but Uganda passes a law outlawing homosexuality completely. Antonin Scalia must be busting nuts in his pants waiting for some jerkwater state of bigots to do this and vote in a 5-4 majority that Bills of Attainder are constitutional, so long as they target icky homos.

It’s amazing that gay people can even breathe in public without some homophobe trying to cut off their air. One thing I never understood is why goes a man falling in love with someone they want to be with so disgusting to so many people? These are the same people that don’t mind two women in porn performing lesbian acts, but don’t think two men is gross.

As we continue down homophobia lane, we come to a crossroads where Tea Party bigots meet narrow minded state officials in, of all places, Kansas. Hey! There’s that jerkwater state Scalia is now busting nuts over.

Apparently, gays are so icky to tea party people that they want laws that make it easy to discriminate by coding language in a law that allows people to deny access to any LGBT if someone’s religion tells them gay people are icky.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]As Raw Story reported on February 9, 2014, House Bill 2453 would make it such that “no individual or religious entity shall be required by any governmental entity” to “provide any services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges” if “it would be contrary to the sincerely held religious beliefs of the individual or religious entity regarding sex or gender.”

Moreover, any same-sex couple who sought legal recourse to complain about discrimination would be foiled, because a Kansan would have only to “assert the protections provided as a defense to dismiss such action.”

The group, Kansas for Liberty (nice name, huh), has stated this is designed also to protect gay people so they cannot be forced by the government to allow anti-gay people on their property. The circular logic is amazing. Stupid, but amazing.

Apparently, this also applies to NFL locker rooms, because some asshole Republican, scared to death of an openly gay NFL player, wants to pass a Bill of Attainder banning gay people from playing in the NFL. Because Michael Sam has done so much to ruin a sport where overly muscled men smash each other, tackle each other, hug and grope each other and every bend over in front of each other while another man puts his hands suspiciously close to another man’s junk. Then, they all get naked together and have big group showers. Jack Burkman is so afraid of Michael Sam ruining his non homo-erotic past time that he is lobbying Congress as we speak.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A Republican lobbyist is preparing legislation that would ban gay athletes from playing in the National Football League, a move he says is necessary to prevent American society from sliding into indecency. Jack Burkman, the CEO of Burkman LLC, said Monday that he would push Republican lawmakers to support the measure, which he put together after college football star Michael Sam announced that he is gay. In an interview with The Huffington Post, Burkman insisted that five members of the House of Representatives and one senator are interested in co-sponsoring the bill, and that those numbers would rise to 36 and five, respectively, within three weeks. Notably, he declined to name any of the lawmakers in question.

Because the five House members are probably the same five assholes that do all this shit (Bachmann, King, Gohmert, Issa, Satan) and the Senator is probably Ted Cruz. . .so no one would be surprised by the overt bigotry of those six mental midgets.

Next, the State of Missouri comes into the fray, as a bill is introduced (another Bill of Attainder) by State Sen. Wayne Wallingford to allow open discrimination again LGBT. And this prick doesn’t even hide his bigoted bullshit behind nice sounding language. He flat out comes out and say “yes, I’m looking to fuck over gay people, but not in the gay way. . .in the legal way.”

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Wallingford acknowledged that his legislation was intended to protect people and businesses who wish to discriminate against LGBT people, giving the examples of a florist or baker who refused to provide their services in same-sex weddings.

“This is trying to provide a defense in those types of instances,” he said. “We’re trying to protect Missourians from attacks on their religious freedom."

Some Christian please show me where in the New Testament Jesus said “love thy neighbor, so long as they are straight” and “judge not lest ye be judged, except if you are judging icky gayo-Americans.”

Missouri’s least favorite and most embarrassing son decided to jump into the fray. Kaptain Krispy Kreme uses his ballast on loan from God to burp out more crap on the “Excrement in Broadcasting” Network.

Apparently, according to the Limpballs, Jan Brewer will veto the law because. . .wait for it, liberals hate laws they don’t agree with and will take people to court instead of accepting a law they don’t like.

But any other religious beliefs, not permitted, the left will not allow them. I mean, you might think on the face of it it would make her a hero with the news media and the rest of the left, and maybe so, but for five minutes, and then she'll go back to being a near-criminal conservative Republican or worse. The homosexual advocates want her to veto it on the basis of human rights, civil rights, gay rights, and what have you. So even vetoing the bill won't be good enough. She has to veto the bill for the right moral reasons. The nearest liberal judge will declare the law to be unconstitutional. If there's one thing that we've learned by now, ladies and gentlemen, the left does not accept laws it doesn't like. They just don't.”

So, how many times have you advocated the ACA being abolished? And how many of the lawsuits against if have you supported, fatboy? Shut the fuck up and go the fuck away. Isn’t time for you to get more Oxycotin and much some scat (since the late, great Bill Hicks told us all you do that).

However, Brewer did veto it (good) and Arizona saves itself more embarrassment. Don’t tell the jackholes on the right. They are viewing Jan Brewer now as the new Benedict Arnold, Wang Jing Wei and any other traitor you can think of. They are going out of their ever loving minds because of this. Look at the tweets from right wing twits on twitter.

Jon Cornyn (R-Mars) has a teabagger primary challenge from teabagger businessman Chris Mapp (R-Moon). Cornyn is a Bush-licker, a conservaturd and one step above troglodyte on the evolutionary (I’m sorry, the intelligent design) scale. But Mapp seems to want to not be just the troglodyte, but the shit under the troglodyte’s underbelly.

Apparently, according to Mapp, calling Mexicans “wetbacks” is as normal as breathing air.

John Cornyn (R-TX) has garnered attention not for his policy views, but for his use and defense of the anti-Latino slur “wetbacks” during a meeting with one of the state’s biggest newspapers.

Way to reach out to that Latino vote there, Mapp. Care to expand on the racism?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The Huffington Post reported that the 53-year-old businessman used the term during an interview earlier this month with the editorial board of the Dallas Morning News, saying that “ranchers should be allowed to shoot on sight anyone illegally crossing the border on to their land.” He also reportedly referred to President Barack Obama as a “socialist son of a b*tch.”

Racist, violent, classless and stupid. Texas has a new hero!

Meanwhile, Mapp was listed among the rest of the other GOP contenders, who were described as “less informed, little known and generally offer extreme, vague or impractical ideas.”

Aww, snap. That’s a smackdown, Mapp. Care to rebut?

Stay tuned next week when Mapp drops an n-bomb on national TV, saying “but (n-bombs) say it all the time.” After that, he will go into a Chinese restaurant with make believe slanted eyes and say “ching chong ding dong” will mistaking the letter “R” for the the letter “L,” which is more common in Korea and Japan than in China. To which, Mapp will respond “but they all look the same anyway. So who cares.”

More war on women. . .this time we go to Virginia for it. Meet Steve Martin (not the comedian), but the dipshit! See, he has interesting views on women and pregnancy. He has decided to call a mother a “host” and not a mother. Which asks a question: If a mother is a host, does that make the fetus a parasite? So, who is Steve Martin? According to Huffington Post, he is the Virginia State Senate’s former chairman of the Senate Education and Health Committee. Apparently, mental health is something he knows little about.

So, he gets a Valentine’s Day card critical of his position on reproductive rights, and Martin decides to go all batshit sexist. Take it away, Steve!

"However, once a child does exist in your womb, I'm not going to assume a right to kill it just because the child's host (some refer to them as mothers) doesn't want it."

Uhh. . .what? The Child’s Host? Who calls a mother a child’s host? No one! Except an obtuse motherfucker like this.

This isn’t the first time Martin has decided to tell women what they can and can’t do with their bodies.

The Virginia Pro-Choice Coalition had sent him a Valentine's Day card asking him to protect women's reproductive health options, "including preventing unwanted pregnancies, raising healthy children and choosing safe, legal abortion."

So, he is in favor of jamming large objects up a woman’s who-who-dilly and making sure a fetus is a person. . .I wonder what he thinks after the fetus leaves a woman’s who-who-dilly? When you’re preborn,you’re fine. When you’re preschool, you’re screwed.

Martin continued to turn away from the skid (meaning he made it worse is people are taught to turn into a skid to straighten out).

"You can count on me to never get in the way of you 'preventing an unintentional pregnancy.' I'm not actually sure what that means, because if it's 'unintentional' you must have been trying to prevent it."

I would like to see the world from his point of view. . .but you know how the joke goes. Maybe Steve Martin is a comedian after all. A sadly unfunny one. Brad Stine and Dennis Miller have competition.

Fracking destroys the environment, ruins the Earth, poisons everything and produces little. In other words, it’s the energy industry’s wet dream. And since it only fucks up small town in the middle of BFE America, who the hell cares?

Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson loves fracking. He wants everyone to do it so he can make money. Well, not everyone. . .and not if it ruins his property values.

Tillerson, whose company and industry avidly promote the controversial process of hydraulic fracturing and attempt to block regulatory oversight, wants to prevent the process from coming to his neighborhood.

Tillerson once famously said, “What good is it to save the planet if humanity suffers?” Now it seems that, because he could be personally inconvenienced and his property could be devalued, the CEO has decided that saving the environment, at least on his multi-million dollar Texas property, may not be such a bad thing after all.

Wow! Talk about being a self-interested, greedy, hypocritical piece of shit. Exxon and Chevron (last week’s pizza bullshit) are two peas in a pod! Just the scum of the Earth. Amazingly, he joins the lawsuit to protect his own personal habitat. If he had no property there, who the hell cares?

Okay, he’s a fucktard. We can all accept that. Homophobic, anti-science, subhuman. . .perfect for the Republican Party. Where are his comments about rape?

Sexual Freedom? Bend over a chair and let someone forcible cornhole you with something and see how much sexual freedom you have as a rape victim.

Never mind that, Lockman doesn’t understand rape is crime of power and domination and not love and intimacy. What a fucking piece of shit. Resign from office, then go back under the rock from which you crawled.

"I just don't agree at all," Nugent said. "There was an incrementalism to what happened in Germany and other places historically, where they came in slowly and they started -- the power struggle between the different races and the power struggle between different elements of society -- and they incrementally work their way in, and I think that's what Obamacare is."

A power struggle between races? Jews are now a race of people? Slavs are a race of people. So, Ted “Shitty Pants” Nugent has decided, all in that empty vaccum he calls a brain that Obama is Hitler, Obamacare is Nazi and there is a massive, anti-American plot to destroy Ted “Child Molester” Nugent’s fantasy world where everyone forgets he made ONE above average song in his life while outliving his shelf life while fucking underage girls and thinks he is the second coming of Gundamentalist Jeebus.

"I really believe that what we see with the IRS can be compared accurately and historically to the early maneuvers of people like jackbooted thugs, like the brownshirts," he said. "I really believe that, and I think you're being too soft on them. ... I think he really wants to destroy America."

I see how it works. If Ted “Motor City Moron” Nugent doesn’t like it, it’s Nazi Germany. Can that work in the opposite? Ted believes in guns so much he shoots them in concert. . .just like Hitler! Ted acts like he cares about people not named Ted Nugent. . .just like Hitler. Ted has facial hair. . .just like Hitler. Ted has a goofy hairdo, just like Hitler! Ted IS HITLER!!!

The Uninsured Are Turning Against Obamacare. That's A Problem

Source: Huff Post

The Obama administration is running into a somewhat surprising roadblock in its final push to get Americans enrolled in Obamacare ahead of the March 31 deadline: The nation's uninsured are increasingly suspicious of the law.

Fifty-six percent of those who identified as uninsured in a new poll conducted in February by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, a research institution, had an unfavorable view of the health care reform law, compared to just 22 percent who said they view it favorably. The uninsured now see Obamacare less favorably than they did when the enrollment period began in October. As recently as September, more uninsured approved of the law than disapproved.

The survey results illustrate just how deep a hole the Obama administration is in when it comes to gaining the support of those the law is most intended to benefit. Indeed, the new findings show the uninsured feel worse about the law than the public at large. Thirty-five percent of Americans approve of Obamacare and 47 percent are against it, according to Kaiser.

Top Ten Conservative Idiots of the Week

Remember the good old days when people were ignorant, racist, stupid and public about it. Marsha Blackburn remembers (1), so do Republican Homophobes (8) and so does Shitty Pants Ted Nugent (10). Sadly, this is 2014 and people still have to deal with ignorant, racist and stupid crap. . .and now those that do it don’t even attempt to hide or mask their intolerance horseshit in nice language. All in all, it has been a sad week for intellectuals and those who have a sane, working brain, And as always, don't forget the key.

Tennessee brought us Al Gore. Thank you Tennessee. Tennessee also brought us the Scopes Monkey Trial, Bob Corker, Conservadem Harold Ford Jr and, yet again. . .blonde and vapid Marsha Blackburn.

Apparently, if you throw enough crap against the climate change science model, conservatives think they can deny what all models show exists. Leave it to Marsha Blackburn to prove climate change is still unproven science. Uhhh. . .what?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on Sunday said that climate change is "unproven" during a debate with scientist Bill Nye on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"There is not consensus there," she said about evidence of global warming. "What we need to be looking at is the way to achieve efficiencies."

Do you have an evidence of this, Marsha? Or are you talking out of your narrow ass the way you always speak. Turds of wisdom from an asshole. Typical game play from the Republican Party.

Marsha then goes on to really lay into Bill Nye’s science cred.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"Neither he nor I are climate scientists. He's an engineer and actor; I'm a member of Congress," she said.

No, being an engineer means you have a background in science. And being a Congressional member means from the Republican Party means you have a background in bullshit.

The Top Ten has a bone to pick with this state Blackburn made. “He’s an engineer and actor; I’m a member of Congress.” But I see you on TV all the time, as I do Bill Nye. Doesn’t that make you an actress? Or do you just play a member of Congress on the TV.

Tune in next week when Marsha Blackburn denies gravity, the rotation of the Earth, inertia and the explanation of the tides. Wait. . .Bill O’Reilly already did that.

Everyone remember this bozo? For those that don’t, back in 2008 when then candidate Barack Obama was in Ohio, this guy comes out and says that, because of the tax structure Obama supported, he would never buy and start a small business because he will be taxed around $500 more a year. Which is funny because if you ran the numbers on what this guy said, his profit would have been around $15,000.

Most who weren’t blinded by the wingnuts saw this clown for what he was: an obvious Republican Party plant dressed up as a “Joe Lunchbucket.” Well, his 15 minutes of fame lasted 15 seconds after John McCain got thumped and “Joe the Plumber’s Helper” left our collective conscienceness.

Fast forward six years and Joe is back. And has a new job! A union job, the communist, America hating scumbag!

In long message, Mr. Wurzelbacher said, “I was just recently hired on at Chrysler,” and explained that while he's known as a conservative, he's not an enemy of private unions.

“In order to work for Chrysler, you are required to join the Union, in this case UAW. There’s no choice – it’s a union shop – the employees voted to have it that way and in America that’s the way it is,” he wrote.

Aww, the poor slob had his shit thrown in his face. And, like a typical right wing coward, whines about it. On top of that, see the spin. He was accosted. If a right winger did that, it’s called “debating.” Similar when the media spun Hurricane Katrina. When black people took food from a store to eat, it was called looting. When white people did it, it was called “finding.”

So, one has to ask. Will Nikki Haley allow Joe into South Carolina now? After all, he has an evil union job and union jobs are unwelcome in the Land O’ Lynching.

So, imagine you sign up for a credit card. You read the paperwork, cover to cover. You see the introductory APR and the APR after that. You see the terms.

Then you get to the fine print. According to Capital One

As if that weren't creepy enough, Cap One says these visits can be "at your home and at your place of employment."

So imagine you have a Cap One credit card and you’re a bit behind on the payments. You sit down with your spouse and children and a knock comes to the door. You open it and a bill collector from Cap One barges into your home and starts to accost you and your spouse about how you are unfit parents because you haven’t paid your bill on time.

Imagine them doing it at your place of employment. Showing up and screaming at you that you have fallen behind in your payments, causing a scene and forcing the boss to come out and possibly fire you because the other customers don’t want to be around that, so they will take their business elsewhere.

What? Are there no prisons? No workhouses? No orphanages? How does Cap One stay in business doing shit like this? And better question still. . .who would want to be a Cap One customer knowing they will ruin your life if you fall behind?

Seriously. . .what kind of bullshit is this? And how do the employees live with their consciences? Oh, I forgot. They work for Cap One. They have to sacrifice it for a paycheck.

George Zimmerman. A name we known all too well and can’t stand seeing. You know him. Mr. George “I’m going to stalk an unarmed black kid and shot him when he defends himself” Zimmerman.

We’ll start with good old Zimmerman. When he’s not shooting black kids armed with Arizona Iced Tea and Skittles, or saving people from burning wreckage, or making it rain with his weather controlling double chin, he is giving interviews. This time it’s Chris Cuomo of CNN (Certainly Not News) that steps up to the George Zimmerman bullshit session of the week. And what is Zimmy saying? Why, he’s the victim . . . And President Obama is the aggressor that is ruining his life. And he has a good conspiracy theory to backup his missive.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]George Zimmerman is certain that he was the "victim" in the deadly confrontation that made him a symbol for racial tensions in America. He also seems convinced that the U.S. government, including President Obama, has it out for him.

It's probably the combination of those two factors that made it impossible for Zimmerman to answer CNN's Chris Cuomo's first question in an interview that aired Monday: "Do you regret that you killed Trayvon Martin?”

"Um, unfortunately the Department of Justice is conducting a civil rights investigation, so those are the types of questions that because of the investigation, I have to tread lightly and I can’t answer them," he told Cuomo, who confirmed that the Justice Department is in fact looking into any civil rights violations but said it's unlikely to file any charges against Zimmerman.

Ummm. . .where to begin with this guy (again)? You killed an unarmed black kid, slappy! You stalked him, chased him down, acted like a little fat John Wayne and then shot the kid in cold blood! The fact you’re not in prison is because SYG laws are, as one DUer put it, “kill the black guy laws.”

I wish to repeat that this man killed an unarmed kid. So he’s a child murderer.

More from the interview:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Cuomo: If you could go back and do it again, you had said, "I would have stayed home that night."
Zimmerman: I would stay home.
Cuomo: So that both of you would still be alive today.
Zimmerman: That’s a presumption I can’t make, I don’t know what would have happened. I could have gotten in a car accident when I left, you know?
Cuomo: But you wouldn't have wound up killing Trayvon Martin if you had your way?
Zimmerman: He probably wouldn’t have ended up attacking me either if I would have stayed home.

Funny, didn’t the 9/11 operator tell you to do that? And then you said “these motherfuckers always get away with it” before you pulled out your penis extension and killed an unarmed black teenager. Anyone noticing a theme here?

The interview continued and the murderer claims quickly that he is a victim, not the unarmed kid he murdered and that the big bad black ninja communist president Obama is the real villain here. Oh brother!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Zimmerman elaborated on that final point later in the interview, when Cuomo referred to Martin as the "victim."
"No, I certainly was a victim when I was having my head bashed into the concrete and my nose broken and beaten, I wouldn’t say I was not a victim," Zimmerman retorted.
He went even further later in the interview, insisting that he faced a "miscarriage of justice" as a sort of fall guy for the likes of Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder. For that reason, Zimmerman said he's motivated to become an attorney.
Cuomo: What was the miscarriage of justice?
Zimmerman: The fact that two law enforcement entities stated that I had acted within the laws of our nation, in self defense.
Cuomo: You don't think it was about the law?
Zimmerman: I know it wasn’t, yes.
Cuomo: And what does that make you? How do you, how does that make you feel?
Zimmerman: Like a scapegoat.
Cuomo: A scapegoat for?
Zimmerman: The government, the President, the attorney general.
Cuomo: And they would be scapegoating you, why? Just to show that they're taking a position on something that matters to a lot of people?
Zimmerman: I don’t like others speaking for me, so I try to give other people the benefit and not speak for them. I don’t know what they’re thinking or why they’re thinking it, all I know is that is that they’re doing it. I don’t know what agenda they have.

Well there you have it. Red meat for the SYG gun humpers. Obama is the boogey man. I have no evidence that there is a conspiracy. Just trust me because I’m George Zimmerman, defender of truth, justice and murdering unarmed black kids in cold blood!

Who is Vincent Tabone? Why he’s the Republican Crime Boss of Queens County in New York City. And he is in front of a corruption trial for trying to take a bribe so a Democrat could run against Bill de Blasio as a Republican, thus splitting the Democratic vote. Well, he doesn’t want a trial now. Why? Because it will hurt Republicans running for office in New York. Oh, how my heart bleeds.

“Questioning of party official witnesses will directly impact federal and state elections being held in New York by selectively exposing Republican Party strategy, the negotiation of cross-party endorsements for Republican candidates. In short, it could devolve into a political circus aimed at the Republican Party and its federal and state candidates.”

He’s kidding, right? Postpone my corruption trial until after my candidates lie and steal their way into office and then showcase everything. . .by then, it will be too late. Even money the judge agrees with Tabone and moves the trial to six weeks from never happening again!

Because, as we all know, IOKIYAR! And you can manipulate everything. . .even your own fucking corruption trial! I think I’m going to continue calling the GOP the Republican Crime Family.

Talk about someone who has overstayed his shelf life. Brent Bozo-ell of the Media Research Center, a place that tries to expose itself and does many times over, has made a career lambasting the liberal media when the media might not be 100% honest. One small oversight, one small mistake and Bozo-ell is all over them like white on rice.

However, The MRC dipshit doesn’t see his own crap coming to bite him in his hypocritical ass. Apparently, Good Ol’ Brent has his op-ed screechfestsghost written, then lies and puts his own name on it. Whoops!

Same goes for his books, which at least carry Graham’s name in a secondary billing, but also aren’t written by Bozell (but Bozell keeps 80-90% of the advance and all profits!)”

Two other people with ties to MRC confirmed that Graham is Bozell’s ghostwriter – and that Graham is not happy with the assignment.

Classless! Amateurish. Stupid and hypocritical. That’s Brent Bozo-ell’s tagline. Oh let’s not forget greedy and a swindler too, as Bozo-ell kept most of the money. Something tells me I smell a Bob Cratchett/Ebenzer Scrooge angle in this.

I also emailed Bozell and Graham for comment on Wednesday, but did not get responses. I called the Media Research Center offices on Wednesday and left a message that wasn’t returned.)

I think I may really like this woman. Anyone who hates Bozell that much is a-okay with me.

So, what is the upshot? Apparently, someone has decided to drop Bozell’s “article” like a hot potato.

We disagreed with many of the columns Bozell presented as his own. We’d wince every time he damned the “mainstream” media. Our newspaper and many others in the so-called mainstream media send him a check every month. But we stuck with him in the interest of presenting diverse views on our Opinion page. Bozell may have been comfortable representing others’ work as his own. We’re not. The latest disclosure convinces us Bozell has no place on our print or web pages. Now we’d like readers’ suggestions for a replacement. What conservative columnist would you like to see added to our pages? We’re happy to spend on columnists who bring a wider perspective to readers. But we can’t continue to publish anyone who willfully submits others’ work as his own.

Last week, a fracking wellpad exploded outside of the small Pennsylvania town of Bobtown, which is near the West Virginia border. The fire burned for a long time. One worker is missing and presumed dead.

Chevron sent in its best PR team to make sure the entire area could be well canvassed as a way of saving and protecting their ass from a massive lawsuit that may come from this explosion.

They tested the air, water and soil (good) and then went to the locals in the area. Their offer to the scared residents was, let’s just say, nothing short of amazing.

It entitles the resident to a free large pizza, and before you say something like, “Boy, is that chintzy,” you should know that was just the beginning, that the coupon also entitles the holder to a 2-liter soda.

Corbett has promised will become "the Texas of natural gas" -- isn't a picnic under the best of circumstances; scores of neighbors have complained about polluted drinking water or foul odors or ailing pets and livestock, of headaches and nausea and skin rashes.

Sounds like heaven on Earth. Don’t forget your garlic knots. I’m sure tucked away in fine print is the rider “use of this free coupon removes the citizen’s right to legal redress. Thank you, Fuck you! Buy our gas. Chevron.”

Mr. Oliver is running for Harris County District Attorney. Harris County is the area around Houston. So, Lloyd gives an interview where he states that domestic violence is passe.

So when I said that suddenly they said Dave Agema compares homosexuality to alcoholism. That’s not what I was doing I was trying to show an example if you really care for somebody.”

But it’s exactly what you did, sonny boy. Gay and Alcoholic = the same thing. But let’s take a moment to come back to reality. Let’s take you at face value. I’m fair. You said you’re not comparing homosexuality to alcoholism. You’re just saying you want to help a friend that’s dying. And since gay people need help, you want to help them not be gay. You would try to do something about the gay person. . .how about leaving them the fuck alone and letting them be happy with their loved one. . .their spouse, their significant other. . .whomever!

Bechdel's book describes her childhood with a closeted gay father and her own coming out as a lesbian.

USC Upstate assigned "Out Loud: The Best of Rainbow Radio," referring to South Carolina's first gay and lesbian radio show, for a required course for all freshmen, which included lectures and other out-of-classroom activities meant to spark discussions about the book. Social conservatives complained about the colleges' selections.

Well, those sound just awful. Why don’t I recommend The Woman Who Walked Into Doors by one of my favorite authors, Roddy Doyle? There’s not gay in that book. Just all about the good, wholesome American past time of beating the living shit out of your wife and forcing her to have sex with you. Fun for the whole family and while reading it, you learn a valuable lesson. Beating women is fun for the whole family. So long as she doesn’t marry a woman.

3: Kansas enters the fray because of what happened to a poor gay man in Topeka. Let’s look at his man’s horrible story.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Proposed Jim Crow laws for gay people are already taking effect in Kansas. 38-year-old Johnny Quinns-Smith wanted to get an egg-salad sandwich for himself and his fiance, Erique Boltzman. He went to his local diner outside Franton, near Scranton, a place where he and Boltzman had occasionally ate over the past 6 years. In fact, it was at this diner that the two met during a lunch hour.

Wow, it’s a love story. Amazing. I’m near tears. I hope it gets better.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]But today, Quinss-Smith encountered something he thought he would never see in his lifetime: a sign. A sign that said, “Service Refused To Gay Couples.”

“I was in absolute shock, I mean, I could not even fathom what was going on,” he said. When he went into the restaurant, all went silent. The locals looked at him, with several pointing and whispering. Wiping out a cup, a server behind the restaurant’s main ordering station stared at him and then looked over at one of the newest signs next to the cash register.

“I looked at where several people’s eyes were tracking. Then there it was, it was a sign that said ‘No Gay Eating Here’.”

Shock: “No Gay Eating Here”, Kansas bill allows businesses and government workers to refuse service to gay couples.

Not wanting to make a scene, Quinns-Smith quickly walked up to the stand where he had always been able to order his food. The server who had taken his order and brought him his food for years stood there in front of him and asked, “How can we help?”
Was there a sign like that?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]?resize=300%2C536

Which poses a simple question. What the hell is gay eating? Can a gay DUer explain that to the readers in the comments? Describe gay eating and how it’s different from non-gay eating.

This can’t get any worse.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“What is wrong. What is this sign meaning,” Quinns-Smith asked, feeling uncomfortable as eyes rested on him.

“It means you and your boyfriend can’t come eating in here no more, unless you find God,” a customer seated offered a response before staff said anything.
“You need to find God and the Bible,” someone else yelled out. The floodgates were open.
“We don’t want your germs on the silverware.” ”Just repent son, you can still be forgiven and be normal.” ”Being gay is not natural. It is not God’s way.”

Did these homophobes just say they were afraid of cooties? It’s true. Everything we need to know about life we learned in Kindergarten. Are girls still icky? Is the boogeyman in the closet? Better year, are you eleventy-five years old?

4: Finally. . .ugh. My home state again. Arizona. There is no energy for this because this galavant down Homophobia Lane has completely made me sick to my stomach, but let’s see what Arizona is doing to embarrass itself again.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The Arizona Senate on Wednesday passed a bill backed by Republicans that would expand the rights of people to assert their religious beliefs in refusing service to gays and others, a measure Democrats say would open the doors for discrimination and hurt the state economy.

The stupid burns bright in this one. Steve Yarbourgh of Chandler (Maricopa County. Not surprised) proposed this disgusting law. He gives a good reason.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]“This bill is not about allowing discrimination,” Yarbrough said during a debate that stretched for nearly two hours. “This bill is about preventing discrimination against people who are clearly living out their faith.”

Poor oppressed Christians. I hope it passes and the Brewer-Harpy signs it. Then Arizona will swim in constitutional court for the next 20 years, all industries will leave and forget having that Super Bowl ever again.

Please, Arizona. Slit your own throat. I may be from Tucson, but I welcome it. Maybe when the state is deep in legal red, these neanderthals that run the State will be kicked out of office. Or even more apropos. . .forced to walk publicly in a gay pride parade arm and arm with Perez Hilton and Neil Patrick Harris. Hell, I’m sure Jim Parsons would be available too. Anything to shame these pricks so they crawl back under the rock from which they came.

And finally, Shitboy is back! Mr. Ted “Cat Scratch Fever and nothing else. . .Ever!” Nugent is back. Last week, he called Obama a subhuman mongrel. Then he got beaten up for it. Now he decides to save face by apologizing.

Maybe the Motor City Moron is turning a new leaf. One can hope.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Conservative rock musician Ted Nugent offered a semi-apology for calling President Barack Obama a "subhuman mongrel."

Wait. . .what. What the hell is a semi-apology?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"I do apologize–not necessarily to the President–but on behalf of much better men than myself," Nugent said Friday an in interview with conservative radio host Ben Ferguson according to CNN.

So you are apologizing for every other man in the world? Thanks, Ted! Go shit your pants and fuck another 14 year old for me, buddy. Thank you for your apology.

Better yet, why not take your apology, make it into a little ball and shove that ball directly up your ass!

That way you can literally blow your apology out your ass!

See you next week.
