Changing times: The Oval Office has a new look with a modern coffee table, more comfortable sofas, a streamlined Presidential seal and updated, arty pictures as opposed to dull landscapes. The famous bust of Britain’s wartime PM, Winston Churchill, has been replaced by one of Martin Luther King Daily Mail Photo EPA
oh who said this:
‘My faith teaches me every day about humility. I have been humbled by my imperfections. But my faith also teaches me about forgiveness.
Sounds like Ob doesn’t it? Or Beck. Or any number of people bereft of useful brain matter and drooling Jesus onto our lunch plates.
No, it is the mosqueteer developer of the Mosqueria… by way of explaining his somewhat checkered past. Not a big deal in the RE labyrinth from hell that is NYC… but apparently details previously unknown to Daisy and her Imam.
Ob may speak, but I doubt that Cultural Center ever gets built. NTIM.
So, speech! Speak to us O Commander in Chief!! (Might as well humor the guy.)

Any silly idea left about the cops not being out of control? Any lingering idea of “serve and protect”?
People in their own home in Marin County, no crime committed, his wife right there begging for them not to tase him, that he had a heart condition and he is tased THREE times. Twice after he is down on the ground….
What a fucking horror story.

It is all going so well…

22 since Friday? I hadn’t heard that. Wow.
Speech excerpts. zzzzzzzz…
Sounds like he’s losing his voice (literally and figuratively).
He calls people getting blown to shit “security incidents”.
listening.. wow he really put on the knee pads for W.
No kidding. Kissed his war criminal butt.
Shorter Obama: We need to buck up the middle-class so we can fund more wars.
oh that drivel on how great the serving mil is is just appalling. Helped the Iraqi peple see the “light of peace”
Yes let’s all praise Khe San.
Geesh.
He’s got his eye on quotables for the history books and headlines.
snicker, or the carpet.
or that lone blue pillow…
Well he sure doesn’t have an eye for design.
Those sofas? They were in my Living Room!
And That Pier One wooden fruit bowl?
That was on the PORCH! Thieving bastards.
Anyways, you just know they have a button they can press and mimmimmimimmimmimmim (mechanical sound) – the room is unmistakeably furnished in the Iraq National Museum Style…
It’s sort of of corporate man cave.
At first I read the sofas were covered in a ”brown cotton” with blue and some additional colored thread, THEN i read it is cotton CORDOROY.
And is it just me or does that coffee table look like a coffin?
Or maybe that’s where he stashed his spine…
some of his crap on the domestic situation is going to make people viciously angry. Rightfully so.
what a dullfucking asshol.e.
Tired tired recycled, cliched bullshit.
Good to hear Rachel Maddow blowing a gasket over what he said about Bush.
jeebus what a steaming pile that “speech” was.
I thought so… I demand better walk on mannequins!
with better decorators!
that looked like the nicer display in an old Midwestern department store about to go out of business.
cordoroy… kinda blows me away…. and yeah it did have an inland feel to it.
how did our aristocracy get to be so middlebrow?
I think it is the salesman undercurrent thru US society. A society that just constantly hawks merch. At every level.
Tho I have read that Miller’s play makes an impression, and very often a deep one, in every country on earth…
I see the image on the cover of kos’ new book matches the level of his intellect.
More would-be interns paying thousands to land a coveted spot
Didn’t lower landholders pay to have other Lords or Ladies at Court to take in their children to be nearer the King, back in the day?
It charges nearly $9,000 for a summer, including housing.
what a scream!
I really think the whole thing has been cratering for a couple of decades, albeit slowly. Til Economic Crash hit….
I remember reading an article somewhere in the 90s, forget which year, in Harper’s, mulling over how long it would be til some enterprising – and very angry – parent, or pair of parents, sued some one of the colleges and universities … the ones that run 30 – 60 K a year, promise that the current version of a younger Einstein is on offer to the classroom and then subsequently all the kid sees is TAs (which is fine, but for the cost and the promises)… and sue very specifically for fraud.
Harper’s assumed parents were smarter than they were… are.
maybe we have such a lousy ruling class because the peasants are so damned stupid and gullible.
the whole thing is shitty… or sh*tty. Or shi**y
Like redecorating the oval to look like a sample show room.
they redecorated several countries into charnel houses, so why not?
oh good one…
Yes as we “depart” many towns and cities in Iraq have little to no potable water at the tap… and so little electricity.
Talk about “seeng the light of peace”.
What a fukcer.
You Swallow These Invisible Shrimp With Every Gulp of NYC Tap Water
From the kosher link above:
Religion really does make people stupid.
NYC has ”high quality” tap water? Really?
The best tap water I ever tasted was (before Katrina of course) New Orleans…. ad the joke was it’s the “piss from 6 states”
OUR water here used to be all but undrinkable, from the big Hetch Hetchy reservoir… cloudy and awful… til sometime in the 90s when it massively improved. As in, became drinkable.
Wonder how much the rabbis will charge to ponder this.
maybe they’ll consult the old Catholic arguments about angels dancing on the heads of pins to help.
Jeebus H Christ, Ari Fleischer is on CNN saying Bush didn’t lie the world into war.
LOL still getting a check!
mamamma mia. Apparently some people (Reihan Salam at Daily Beast)are comparing Glenn Beck to a white Malcolm.
This is one fucked up country.
I imagine they think they need to counter the much more accurate comparison to Father Coughlin.
Someone does not like the programming!
Here’s the suspect’s site.
yikes:
He was arrested in 2008 for protesting Discovery Channel.
I was jsut reading his list of demands… Man! REALLY did not like the programming!
LOL. That is so wrong.
hmmph. He seems to have a PO Box in CANADA. Are you all upping the Send in the Geese games?
http://www.businessinsider.com/james-lee
Oh great. Leave Canada Alone!!
I hear they’ve caught sight of him and he is wearing a goose suit.
MSNBC talking head mentions there are other Discovery Channel employees “hunkered down” on other floors of the building.
Hello?? You know the guy most likely has a teevee on there right? Why not just tell him exactly where those other potential hostages are hiding to save him some time rounding them up?
The stupidity that passes for “journalism”…
they WARNED us that domestic terrorism would come spilling over our borders!
:O
Jeesh.. and this country has a nuclear weapons, means to deliver nuclear weapons and people willing to die as holy warriors in the process. Shouldn’t we like, move to some obscure place far away?
This just in: How bad are the next few years going to suck?
I am watching the Carly Fiorina Barbara Boxer face-off…. debate tonight.
gah.
I did read today that BB is raising a lot more cash than Carly is……. 10 – 12 x as much…
Which surprised me a little… we shall see….
In news out of the Shocked, Shocked Sector
Ah yes, word-keeping.
From John.
Conyers.
That’s John.
Gonna Investigate Cheney and Rove…
Conyers.
well I read some speculation, which may have been well informed speculation, it is doubtful that Obby got anything on paper from BP about the 20 billion. Which is a joke of a structured pay out anyway. I cannot imagine that they will not just fade away a year or year and half… if they even pay up this year….
Pity there is little to no reporting that points out what a favored child of our DoD is BP.
And so on.
SO FUCKING TIRED OF CONYERS, who is minus whatever brains he ever had… and it was clear years ago.
Doddery old fool.
Hey you: got your underground bunker ready FOR Hurricane Earl?
I’d like to buy a “for”.
Not to be callous, but I’m going SURFING.
Looks perfect ..so far..for the Jersey Coast..well, with the exception of not being able to ride it to France.
I was just reading that surf’s up…. as Earl comes barreling in…………
Wel that happens here too… sometimes in summer, various forms of air pressure, heat, bad inland fires and the surfing is fabulous in So Cali beaches…
What ever works!
But we’re such fluffers here in Jersey. In Cali you actually HAVE surf. Oh we got the Beach Boys on disc, and the occassional Fankie and Annete thing goin, I mean when the apish New Yorkers aren’t Jersey Shorin their ass all over the place…(LOL – comin from a guy from PA) ..
I mean we get 4 footers and it’s Ooooo, Ahhhhh.
So those who can, grab a ride when you can duck the cops, while the rest of populus takes the on-beach-patrol opportunity to loot the rest of the village. LOL.
And for anybody wondering..Fankie? LOL.
Yeh . You guys never heard of Fankie Avolon? LOL.
I sat behind him in spelling. Helluva surfer tho.
And in OTHER News from the Shocked, Shocked
and I do mean Shocked Sector…LOL.
So what the fuck does this have to do with politics? Well… {stalling}
One could argue it’s illustrative of our prospects given the finest™ educational and judicial system in the world. EVAH™.
Yeh, Anyways. I came across it poking around for what’s up in the OH Senate race after seeing Josh Marshall was really…..
really …
REALLY humping a story about a “Tea Party” candidate for OH Sen who was just indicted for sex with a minor at his Church, “authorities were alerted by the Pastor”… etc…
Don’t know, could care less, I was raised Catholic for ass-chapped sake,
, OTHER than the angle that it comes off as GOP intramural enforcement .( Bush’s guy Portman slipping in the polls a bit, still up 5) …It just had me thinking what is Marshall doing with all that? It’s like they’ve gone from their journeymen astroturfing to actually being obsessed with these Tea Party and Beck stories.
Anyways The Tea Party whatsisname, an also-ran obviously, a splinter of the GOP vote if anything…says he’s got travel reciepts etc that he wasn’t even around on dates alleged…
Still it seems there’s no upside for the Donks in it as far as I can figure..Certainly not in Ohio. And do they seriously think, ala Marc Foley or Larry Craig that it is anything more than a peripheral piece of distraction? What I do think is they ARE – especially the retainer class- like their hostility to the “DFH” ,they ARE concerned about these TP’rs as it fucks up the otherwise wholesale seat trading games.
Fortunately, I found the “Roast Nipples in Shop Class” story. Which certainly makes me feel better as a would-be artisan wood-wright headin’ out to sea on my plank.
I cannot believe anyone would shock themselves…. it jsut seems terminally dumb.
and positively negative if you ask me, yeeeouch!
New………
