Barack Obama — Out of the Closet
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-brenner/barack-obama-out-of-the-c_b_813027.html
Obama is just hysterically funny… And of course he slobbered all over Reagan in the primaries, as well.
Slobber on.
yum yum

This is obvious discrimination.
Based on nothing more than the fact that Rahm Emmanual is Black.
He. Has. The. Holy Font. you know.
It’s what they do when a brothahs rise up and wanna go all Hope and Change Font on somebody’s ass.
And after he built himself an innovative new website.
LOL. AND AFTER they had every availiable air-of-inevitability Press organ in the country touting how he had 10 million! – no 10.5! – No no 11 million!
Which brings us to the remaining relevant question – How can they now get every two-bit-nigger-for-rent in Chicago and across the country screaming about how Rahm’s being discriminated against? We know the answer to that of course.
Free Rahm!
Free UP the 11 – NO $12 Million! Can’t a
homeless man run for office in America anymore?
John Ellis, Bush relative, says Rahm will be bakc on the ballot. BI has a story up, no chance to read it yet…
what is he? Black Israeli?
Is this a new version of Black Irish?
LOL. Lace curtain coverage below! 😉
Black-hearted …
oh there you go…….
FWIW The opinion is here.
Seems more than the usual hand wavey to me, but notes the distinction between “residency” and “domicile” and the distinction in their election law.
Sigh. Hindsight is 20/20 vision.
So after some serious Gore 2000 butthurt, 😆 – live and learn – Methinks it gives the rank and file something to worry their little heads about while the lawyers lawyer the brokers broker and they all pick clean the booty. I see Rahm getting on the Ballot in this pastiche, I’d be shocked if he doesn’t in this Strike a Blow for Gore and the Peepul Production: a 5-4 Donk State Supreme Court.
One is a Kennedy Shriver Merchandise Mart retainer LOL a Special Olympics boarder of Eunice (co-founder on THE Board ,not competing)
who also Chaired the National Review Board of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops which investigates accusations of clerical sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic church. She is a Dame of Malta.
Oh yes, heckuva job, call those rape chits in.
I’d be shocked if he isn’t put on the ballot with some “Son of Chicago” and Ich bin ein Berlinerslobber mixed in.
Chaired the National Review Board of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops which investigates accusations of clerical sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic church. She is a Dame of Malta.
oh what a scream!
I wondered how many noticed that, in her ABORTIVE run fo NY senator, Camelotta did not know the Dem tick tock on abortion. (Aside from how apallingly inarticulate she was, poor scripted girlchick, at what?? 50+)
why? Cuz the Kennedys have always opposed it. In all its parts and pieces.
Well now.
WaPo didn’t taken long in trotting out some hack, now did they? Oh just scream with laughter.
You can set your watch with this shit.
Wait fer it-
Thank you, Incisive Constitutional Law Professor.
Well no, Eva, not a carpetbagger that Rahm…
not in the ordinary lokel yokel, IDF-er Dual Citizen Bar Mizvah for the Kid in Jerusalem, ya know non-national-non-bent-on-global-hegemony sense. 😆
Not a capetbagger, babe.
More like a “Welcome Mat”, got it.
So Carry on Eva! Your papers are in order!
{Oh Honey Why Should THAT stop you?? 😆 – BHHM }
{Cue Gore Do-Over!! Drink!! 😉 – BHHM }
😆 HAAAAAAACK!
😳 Sorry! SERIOUS HTML help needed!
Well that botch was a doozy. 😯
I think maybe a closed quote after the first should straighten it out, but no credibility here!
I think I got it…
🙂
…got the drink in hand…but then again ….I am absolutely pathetic….
example of patheticism: Despite the torment I felt by the Football “Class” in a Pittsburgh, PA, area highschool …I smiled when I found out they won …..then again, why shouldn’t I, perhaps that team fully realizes they’re hired meat and they may as well make some money to take care of their battered bodies when they’re tossed out………..
indeed ….I’m still smiling ….when I get beyond myself …… I love human beings for the most part ….can never seem to get enough of them …. a kind ear, or ‘voice’ ….makes my heart go pitter pat ….and they do still exist,….in abundance
interesting comment hon ….it just brought to mind someone black ..who hasn’t bothered to vote for quite a few elections ….knowing the futility of it ….who thought Rahm was mixed ….my mind hopped into the ramifications of the puppeteers perhaps realizing that many of the duskier hues had that same thought…..
interesting asides …..the bay area’s longtime “black” FM radio station now reaches all the way into Santa Cruz California…, near a fifty mile change, I love R&B …so I have to turn the fucker off near everytime a commercial, or worse A Public Service Announcement comes on …….
Just checking in — hope all is as well as can be expected with all of y’all!
hi brinn!
how are you?
Hi Marisa!
How am I? I never know how to answer that question these days….mostly I say, “well, I could complain, but it wouldn’t do me any good, so I’m fine.”
😉
We’re hanging on! Boys are healthy, shod and fed, and even if we have to give up the house, we have a place to stay for the summer (with animals!), so I just keep keeping on, paying the bills and applying for jobs!
You? How’s the ticker?
ticking… I see the cardiologist this aftrnoon….
tick ticking. I am much better than I was, and much much better than I was the first 3 or so weeks out of the hospital.
ugh losing the house. I can hardly bear to think of it for you…. what is happening to families, no matter the number, no matter the configuration, is horrific….
But you know, dear, Dow 12,000 if not today then TOMOROW (always a day awaaaay!!)
Obster the mobster bankster lover and Immelt kissing in a tree!
Etc.
Here’s hoping the trip to the doc goes well! I’ll be thinking of you! And just in case I hadn’t said before, this is not a house we actually own, er, pay the bank for, so “losing” it isn’t exactly the same as it may be for others — mostly what I’m concerned about is keeping the kiddos in their schools….the ex seems ok with idea of moving apts, so they’ll have an address in the proper zone, as for me? Well, I’ve surfed many a couch…still trying to imagine a full-time job that’ll pay the bills will come my way before May….for now, back to working the 2 PT ones I have and humming Monty Python…
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle – that’s the thing.
And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…
For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin – give the audience a grin
Enjoy it – it’s your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ’em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the right side of life…
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the bright side of life…
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life…
(I mean – what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing – you’re going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life…
isn’t the governor’s mansion going unused down there? Maybe Hair Helmut won’t mind if you crash there.
Good luck sweety!

HAAAAAAAACK!
…fine, linen hankies all around ….along with the antibacterial (from pressing “nasty” flesh, one would rather avoid) ….squirty thangs …mus’ be so disappointing when an elite mingles wit’ da lower classes, an’ cums up wit nuthin but MERSA …………..
(“MERSA” – otherwise known, in “more educated circles,” as MRSA …..)
I guess he shoulda left the wif and kittlepops there. Instead of just their beloved baby swaddles from the maternity hospital, in the famous crawl space.
Etc
(insert title here).
I have no idea the outcome of this controversy.
This issue is confusing.
I must confess I don’t care one way or another.
Again, I don’t know the case law here.
BUT HE WUZ ROBBED!
More troops lost to suicide
snip
well maybe Ob can help. He served on Armed Services in the senate, as did Hilarious.
AND when the big Walter Reed mess broke in Wapo (2007?), it was reported that at the pay phones in the halls of the worst wing, on the walls were the tel numbers to the aides connected to Armed Services Com for Ob and McCain.
No mention was made of hilarious.
Like they don’t know what the problems are.
I don’t see any of them helping anybody but themselves
No shit.
…take me home, ….to the bridge…

…I’m imagining “Micks” and “Brits” contending as “the “eldest” …it’s cute when one is drunk ..When sober ….it gets a bit bleaker …I think the fact is, that most of us won’t have a clue as to who precisely was “on first” by the time we die physically (energy never dies) ..and, even more pertinent?, “who will be last?” ..indeed, how many want to be last?
I really should have qualified energy never dies, as a thought, versus ‘a fact,’ …after all,…how the fuck would I know, for a fact? How would anyone,…really?

“but they look at us like we’re worse than used-car salesmen.”
😆 pretty funny… but if the greasy smile and the glad handing fits………….
I thought this was a pretty good self-fulfilling prophecy
I bought my last three cars at CarMax and they are actually pretty good.
Whiner. Quitter. Sellout.
Too funny!
There outta be a lemon law for congress. Of course it would require blanket issuance to 535 + senior aides.
well, like lemons, I hear they leave a sour taste in your mouth … just ask a Congressional page.
👿
All those little pages, on their knees…
😳
😆
Well seeing as how, Mission Accomplished,
he’s fleeing bankrupt Pennsylvania now…
MSNBC {Sorry Kieth} just signed the trendy
ED RENDELL for their political commentary stable
Might as well pay ‘im , eh?
…as they had Governor Casino Messiah,
that Public Pension Looting Gangster,
that Muni Bond Loader Upper and Retail Loanshark Shylock himself holding forth six or seven times a day.
So. Redundancy abounds.
Watch your back, Larry O’Brien.
On the upside, what’s nice about it,
is they can slide Rendell into The Ed Show without having to change the graphics. LOL.
Just spreadin a little cheer. 😉
Rendell so looks like what he is…
Yes, So Growth oriented. Or just a growth. Same can be said of Larry O’Shyster, the Daleys, just different potato packaging.
Of course we have the younger set to look forward to… from the fightin’ Dem McPudleys to Cantor and Grayson, they’ll all be back. AND serviced by everybody from Cillizza and Russert’s kid to Ezra, Markos, and Capehart. 🙄
Like that joke goes, I do believe we ARE on the precipice of retardation setting in on our cloning efforts.
I am now being treated to the spectacle of Vanderbilt heir, Anchorman, and CNN’s Howard Zinn Chair of American History and Hagiography –
all one guy – Anderson Cooper – hold forth on the finer points of Our Progress™ in critique of Michelle Bachmann’s latest. Nothing like grappling with the low hanging fruit, eh Anderson?
Susan Molinari, Paul Begala, and tonight’s designated Black Guy weighing in now.
I clicked off too soon.
Cooper has a great piece up now on some guy Andrew Shirvell, an Assistant Michigan Atty General AND Opus Dei? Westboro Churcher? Nazi Hunter? (Room for Everybody in Public Service!)
Evidently following the Del Dem career path on the Repub side: campaign staffer turned AG staffer for Cox, blog stalking and ratfucking his way while drawing a salary. What a fucking whack.
Speaking of Michigan and the Democratic party… I see they donated Granholm to UC Berkeley.
What a pity.
Susan Molinari, what a long story she is.
Small drip of truth, amidst all the rampant bullshite today:
😆 Think Obster the Mobster Bankster Lover is up to the job?
Not likely. Talking jobs and “stuff” is not going to do it.
Nice Read.
(And Borrowing some lines of Obby’s slobber tomite)
We’ll Out Do! Out Perform! Out Produce!
😆
Yeh, Yeh, Motherfuckerfucker:
RUSSIA IN GANGSTERISM AND OFFICIAL CORRUPTION 😆
Progress! We will catch Russia and be on top of Afghanistan in no time!
PUT IT IN THE SPEECH, MOTHERFUCKER! 😆
well you know how it goes.. as long as WE are the Boys Scouts (even if dead – on a scouting outing from not knowing what to do!)… the rest of the world is corrupt. C O R R U P T.
I suggst a drinking game.. Is he going to use “stuff” in the speech. Several drinks every time he does. Or if he doesn’t.
The important thing to do is D R I N K.
The important thing to do is D R I N K.
😆 I can’t as New Jersey’s Designated Driver.
Hell, They needed SOMEBODY, last guy and all,
and the Poet Laureate spot under Christie went to a guy who submitted,
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
If You Ain’t Italian
Den Fuck Youze, Too
So I’ll have to sit back as Obby’s soaring rhetoric borrows from Matthews, The Bard Tweety:
“We need to make Stuff.”
Like mugs and stuff.
Ya know?
Did you se the Vilsack wif is contemplating a House run?
As I said, D R I N K.
Drowning in bullshite, we are.
Trolloping through Chi- town today, I see
Dame Malta on the Illinois SC…
may have to recuse herself in Rahm’s case. 🙄
{ I doubt it. Hubby’s posture can free her up with the rubber stamp. I’d be shocked otherwise.}
Anyways..As the lawyers lawyer, the brokers broker…
ETC.
Chi Trib has a sort of Meet the Burkes primer …
Oh that last one is RICH.
Translation??
“I Malcom Rich, Of the Chicago Lawyery/ Judgey / Reformey..Council Thingey are UTTERLY USELESS!
And WE DO A DAMN FINE JOB!
What a Hoot all around.
Laird Burke, the Hubsbsand Kennedy Retainer, Not to be confused with the Mrs., The Good Lord Judge Marquess Burke, Dame of Malta, The Whifess of Kennedy Retainer..LOL Man Burke “Openly Supports” Gery Chico {Jack of the Table at Parkland}. What Intrigue!
Shiyaaat. Malcom Rich had the takeaway.
GMAFB. Openly supports in Democratic politics most frequently means the cement is being poured.
Daaamn these people DO put on a good show, tho. SO…IF Madame Judge Dame Malta votes recuses or against Rahm…any gussses on whether Rahm gets a Repub or two to vote in favor of …wait for it..”Ballot Access”?
I think they already got their Script Doctor on this one.
Supposedly ballots are being printed TODAY… but, tomorrow is only a day AWAAAAAY!!!!
Wear red curls when saying that……….
gah.
Lord knows they already cast Daddy Warbucks.
So Red Curls it is!
Thank you! Thank You! This is my BIG BREAK! 😉
Business Insider says POTUS wants Rahm on the ballot… [snicker]
Valeriie Jarrett made it clear this am Foundling wants IDF guy on the ballot.
While I am at it, very interesting entry at Cpunch on the Ob’s birther problem (or, I should say, documents problem). I’ve said for a long time, he makes all his own problems… And now Gov Abercombie, used to be congresscritter Abercrombie (idiot then, idiot now), has greatly expanded how long he has known the Foundling. Practically claims to be have been present at the birth. 😆
Last I heard, he just happened to be at Punahoe a few years ahead of the Foundling.
BTW< this is what Valerie said this am…
😆 State SC issues a stay of the lower court ruling……………….
Rahm is back on the ballot!
Obster couldn’t get the Olympics (those pesky furriners!) But he got Rahm for Chicago!!!!!!!!!!
LOL. The fix then HAS to be in with a such a ringing, unqualified endorsement from Believes, Thinks, Believes as parroted by that drag of a sorority sister, I’ll Caddy!} Jarret.
🙄
Anyways, it gives the traders a little more time to make deals.
NTIM anymore than when Specter was retired: the wars and plunder go on, but I will be shocked if Rahm doesn’t get this wrapped with a bow from the Illinois SC. Then the hard fought Rahm-as-underdog slobber. Maybe Sylvester Stallon can play him in a Rocky 12 tie in .
Adwieennnnnne!!??
Where’s yo wedding dwess? ETC
Al Gore as manager. I dunno, create a coupla jobs.
SOME Shite.
I’m Too slow Typing, Mcat!
DONE In the time I was pecking away! 😆
Oh and on Utterly Useless Rich,
the Chicago Bar’s “Judicial Reform” tool.
NOT making a Utilitarian argument! LOL
Let yourself go, man!
As I said, D R I N K….
So……….. they are in mourning? How bad is that brain leak?
Black ribbons.. How bad is that brain leak?
Well, {clearing throat,}
{donning lab coat all lab coaty like now}
She was shot right thru!
Right past that area of the brain that controls Optimism for Jobs and , ya know –
~Association with Death.
It’s very consistent with the findings! 😆
Okay then! Headin to the liquor store now! 😆
😉
How can this little miserable country cause so much trouble?
MondoWeiss
Well… Lebanon has risen up, Eqypt is in open street protest with the death today o the first protestor (tho I think they had self immolations following the one in Tunisia) Tunisia is still in turmoil.
There is a chance for the Palestinians here…
There is commentary around today that with the departure of those wretched asshole walking cancers, Rahm and Axelrod, that the “peace process” (HA!) moves to the back burner.
Yeah like either of those shits or the ObShit ever planned to do anything. But buttress Isreal.
I don’t think the protests in Europe are over either.
This decade could really get interesting.
Why do I think the only ones coming out alive will be the Chinese, and maybe south americans.
