Richmond Tea Party demands deposit refund, receives audit notice. For social justice.
— Which, before you Hobbits start prattling on about imaginary left-wing conspiracies, let me remind you that when the very “progressive” Occupy LA protest group began, like their Richmond TEA Party analogues, making ludicrous demands of city government, the Democrat mayor (like the IRS) responded quite forcefully.
By, you know, negotiating with them and granting Occupy LA free office space, farm land, and utilities.
So.
Fairness.
Deal with it, bitches.
Well der.
TEA Party people a the problem with this transformed country, not OWies.
If this doesn’t work, it’s the camps for them…
I wonder whether Cynthia Carr got a little squirt of Oxytocin when she signed her name to this delightful example of bureaucratic tyranny?
Ha, who am I kidding? Of course I don’t wonder, and of course she did.
I just thought Obamas civilian corp, more powerful than the military, would have better hygiene, that’s all.
Stupid me, I imagined spiffy uniforms with crisp creases, but all we get is smelly hippies. Again.
the thing I notice is that these ones have an Inc after their name … the occupy losers probably don’t
here in LA if you’re a registered business that didn’t pay taxes they’re for sure gonna audit you cause the computer just spits it out and assigns it to a monkey
it happened to my friend P a couple years ago and we just finished with one at the office here… and in both cases it was cause we hadn’t paid any monies
I was watching some film of the LA OWS camp being evacuated, well, sort of, and there was a shot of the FOX roving reporter asking the cops some questions as they walked through the camp. As the camera guy scurried along he was following an OWS fellow who was walking behind the cops and carrying a hammer behind his back as he followed the cops. As you do.
One “behind the cops” would probably do it. Stupid multi-tasking.
The thing I notice is that the moron with the pokemon avatar has failed to actually inform itself about the story.
Source.
right, Rob – I did read that… you’ll note that what I said was that if they pay no taxes they’re apt to get flagged for an audit – and your quote says they paid no taxes
simple as that
sheesh
What’s this I’m hearing on a radio show about a 13-year-long affair Herman Cain’s been having? I just caught a fragment of it…
The Owsies are Obama’s special friends, don’t you know.
OK, Phil says some new woman is on Atlanta TV spilling the news on Cain. As we speak.
Drudge has a link to the not-helpful statement Cain’s lawyer released
this smells like Romney
wait… that doesn’t really make sense
Romney can’t afford to have Cain knocked out of the race just yet
there’s always ricky perry
Yeah, it’s all over the news now. I’m in a hospital waiting room with limited resources.
ack hope everything is ok
I’m still more worried about the third 9 than I am about bimbos, sexual harassment ones or otherwise
That new Ginger rooted has a look of pride on her face. Well-paid pride.
They are closing ranks. Sorry, Conservative blacks cannot exist.
What newrouter said.
Yep, nothing like the preservation of rights such as to confront one’s accusers, or an assumed presumption of innocence. She’s got the cant down real good.
she’s ruining the holidays for Mr. Herman but probably for herself also
and that is a great sadness
Looks as much to me as though she’s aiming at ruining something more than the holidays — like his marriage, for instance — nevermind the political circumstances in which voters might like to focus on national as opposed to relatively trivial private concerns.
No, ‘feets, I’m thinking she just hit the lottery.
so far I’ve only seen her described as a “businesswoman”
well ricky perry has alot benjamins not doing nothing
kneecapping Herman Cain won’t help nothing if you can’t make the sentences
If she’s who I think she is, she has more baggage than a 747 at takeoff. I believe I interviewed her for a job and she was not happy at not being chosen. Must look into my records, such as they are, here in the house.
tell that to his supporters
do dish if you’ve got sumthing
I’ll bet this has nothing to do with any other candidate, except of course maybe just maybe Baracky.
This primary season has been pretty shitty all around.
Which is kinda crazy. Unemployment is high, the economy is terrible, and Obama’s signature accomplishments, stimulus and health care, are less popular than herpes and used car dealers.
I agree shittier than a 747 at landing
The Richmond TEA Party should Occupy the city council chambers until they rescind their threat.
Actually, it says they had no income in those categories. I hope you find yourself being audited for not paying taxes on income you never made on work you never claimed to do.
But, hell, to you they’re just dirty identity politics conservatives, and deserve to be shipped to the gulag.
Suppose they gave a primary, and nobody came…
I like Insty’s suggestion of marching on the homes of the mayor and this functionary.
i thinking baracky/axeltool too. sex is their weapon of choice. the hermanator should get hillbuzz to return fire.
whatever I think it’s just a low-hanging-fruit thing Mr. Rob
ginger might be like mccain’s “lobbyist friend” with no scruples.
My point is that this election cycle started way too early, and no one should declare as a candidate until, say, March or April before the election. Idle hands in the media, devil’s workshops, and all that.
At this point, I’m going to have to see video before I take anything like this seriously.
Likely by “affair”, she meant Cain gave her a ride home from work.
She looks like the gal I interviewed and I remember her name was Ginger. I don’t remember her last name. It would have been in 04-05. She was dippy. Didn’t get the job and kept hounding me to find her something else. I finally had the admin screen my calls and didn’t return her messages. I hate having my calls screened at work. She finally quit calling. IIRC her resume was very spotty and she was kinda vague about her past history. Was very incensed that she wasn’t chosen.
Just damn.
“She finally quit calling. IIRC her resume was very spotty and she was kinda vague about her past history. Was very incensed that she wasn’t chosen. ”
perfect axeltool candidate
she’s just a girl what claims that Herman’s the one
bless his heart though does Herman ever get to sleep with any of the attractive womens?
Just his wife, as far as I know.
You’re the expert on low fruit.
link
my favorite new low fruit is the quince, which makes the tasty quince wine what comes in the groovy bottle
it’s a beautifully golden wine and sweet but not cloying… it pairs very nicely with sliced mozzarella so you can skip the fancy cheese bin on this one… just throw a few blueberries or whatever on the plate for color
enjoy!
try paw paws sumtime
Didn’t your recent time spent in Texas repress your inner homo at all, hf? ;-) All that talk about guns recently just went right into the shitter with that quince tangent.
i will look and see if I can find… that might be a whole foods thing… most of the specialty produce places hereabouts have an ethnic inflection so it’s hard to find the tasty fruits what are native to north america
i shall undertake a quest
Mr. Froman wine and cheese is the mostest seductive thing ever after tweeted dick pics
I’m not even kidding
What I don’t understand, if it should be true, is why peps run for public office if they have a closet full of bimbos.
That always makes me a little skeptical of the claims.
But, Clinton, right?
This is my Christmas avatard in case anyone was wondering.
I did not realize that, hf. Somebody stoled my smooth bachelor moves handbook. Now I can never remember if a dimmer switch or candlelight is better, and I’m completely lost on the pros and cons of Barry White.
“if they have a closet full of bimbos”
funny baracky doesn’t have no bimbos. larry sinclair is out there though.
himalayan salt lamps
I’ve been asking myself the same question all day, Carin. I suppose that anyone who has the balls to run for president has to have faulty wiring of some sort, but it takes an uncommonly narcissistic asshole to allow people to believe in you and invest their time, money and effort on your behalf when you have such skeletons in your closet.
“when you have such skeletons in your closet.”
axeltool can help you with your closet.
That MLKjr guy wouldn’t have got very far were he living in days like these.
i’m still thinking axeltool did the mccain lobbying lady. sex scandals is all this clown does.
Mr. Herman’s peculiarly vehement animosity to Mr. Governor Rick has always made him a less-than-sympathetic figure for me. It’s almost like hating on a special needs kid, and I thought Mr. Herman unkind on more than one occasion.
well hoover was “gay” so there’s that.
Larry Sinclair isn’t the most believable of chaps, though, what with his lengthy history of arrests and making things up. I think LS better have photographs or home video if he wants to keep making the accusations.
Carin, that look on your (?) face in the avatar is priceless. I have one like that of each of my kids shreiking at the horror of sitting on Mall Santa’s lap.
I can’t decide if those lamps are kind of creepy or just really cool in an I still buy my home furnishings at Urban Outfitters kind of way. Again, I blame the stolen bachelor pad book for my confusion.
i like how axeltool gets folks talking about this sh*t instead of economic collapse
it all depends on whether or not you have the right kind of places for them… they work really well in an on the floor behind a chair way
they all have dimmer switches btw, all the ones I’ve seen
“Larry Sinclair isn’t the most believable of chaps,”
yea and cain’s bimbos are?
Abe, Sam’s Club has a flat screen “fireplace” panel for $149. Chick’s dig firelight. It’s in the book.
I said on Twitter but let me repeat it here: the irony will come when our haughty GOP pundits realize that the zeal they have going after conservative candidates will one day ensure that the only candidates we get are the for real godbothery type social cons they hate hate hate.
And I’ll laugh. While they become Democrats yet again.
Honestly. Mention Larry Sinclair, or Obama’s connection to a gay club run from Wright’s church, and our GOP opinion leaders on Twitter will treat you like a scurvy pariah. But some chick with money trouble says she’s been banging Herman Cain and it’s not only true, but your failure to instantly grant her credibility is a black mark on your honor.
I said GOOD DAY, SIR!
But don’t worry. They see right through the left and would never find themselves used by either them or, say, the Romney campaign. Because they are far to smart and sophisticated for that, you see,
Who believes the Cain bimbos? Not I. I will say that Mrs. Herman must be giving him the side-eye.
“Mrs. Herman must be giving him the side-eye.”
axeltool works. anytime you need “fundamental change” use axeltool™
Someone wants us Romney-trapped, like the wolf who has to chew through his own leg to get away. Who? Obama’s people, for sure. They’ll be damned if they’ll suffer that fucking Constitution again.
Larry Sinclair is dead, right? or is that just another thing I can’t google correctly?
That’s a great idea Leigh. Do you know if they sell smoking jackets there as well?
I didn’t see any, Abe. I’d try Sharper Image.
No, Sinclair isn’t dead. That was just a vicious rumor.
I don’t see how the not-Romney vote doesn’t congeal after Iowa like a big wondermous jesus-loving jello mold
Bachmann and Santorum will lose all rationale for a candidacy the day after Iowa, and that support isn’t gonna go to Romney no way, and if Cain goes down for the count bam we’ll have our not-Romney in hand and poor Wall Street will be calling Meg Whitman for counseling
link
Oh. I’m confusing Sinclair with that Foster fellow.
Erom NRO The Corner.
I read that story several months ago, nr. It’s not like Obama was beloved in Chi-town. If there was any there there, don’t you think Bobby Rush would have cock-slapped him with it? I know Bobby mocked his authenticity as a black man, but why stop there when he could question his very manliness? That’s the problem I’ve had with these Obamaisahomo stories.
“don’t you think Bobby Rush would have cock-slapped him with it? ”
you’ve got to consider rev. wright’s “church” and its collection of clowns including ophrah.
Then we have the dog that never barked even once.
Considered. I don’t think Okra and the Rev have as much cred as Bobby the Panther and his long reach with the Crips and the Bloods.
I’ve seen Obama play basketball. All these years playing and the fucker still can’t handle the ball with his weak hand? He’s neither black nor a heterosexual.
But might bite.
I’ve seen him throw a baseball and so did the rest of the country. At the very least, he’s a metrosexual. I find more credible the rumors that he’s a boozehound. That would explain his pouchy, bloodshot eyes and lousy disposition. Plus, if he is a gayblade, he has crappy fashion sense. “I question his taste” /nina garcia.
baracky scoamf in life except for the leftoids
But that doesn’t make him gay.
axeltool™ and the gop enablers gotta hide this stuff
link
Wouldn’t being a metrosexual contradict the horrible fashion sense? Also, gays, not all fashionable. At least in NYC and other cities, a rather sizable percentage of them are less concerned with fashion than they are with leaving no fucking doubt about which team they’re on.
” don’t think Okra and the Rev have as much cred as Bobby the Panther and his long reach with the Crips and the Bloods.”
You’re joking, right?
I bet in Chicago, at least, the panthers, bloods and crips talk real respectful like around Rev Wright.
Metrosexuals can have lousy fashion sense. I use my experience with the many metrosexuals in SoCal that I grew up with. Their hair was the bomb, though. I will agree that gays of the ursine persuasion, generally have no fashion sense since they dress like lumberjacks while still activating the aware straight persons’ gaydar.
I’m with Abe and Carin on the Bimbo thing. You are north of insane if you have lap taffy issues and decide to POTUS it up.
Really though, not to worry. Bill Maher will be zinging them out in defense of Cain within the next week in outrage about the “Two consenting adults” angle. He likes to defend sex that involves grownups.
that flamboyantly awkward “date night” thing he did with m’chelle was about about as gay as it gets I think
No, I’m not joking, Lee. Bobby Rush beat Obama like a rented mule just by mocking his street cred. I’m not talking about the presidential run. Back when he was a nobody, Bobby could have buried him, Rev or no Rev. And Oprah never got the vapors around him until he announced his presidential run, either.
I see the puppet strings of Soros and the long green.
I know what you’re saying. My point – poorly made – was that metrosexuals try really hard too look good even if their bad taste renders that impossibe. Obama doesn’t even look like he’s trying.
“Bobby Rush beat Obama like a rented mule just by mocking his street cred”
the hermanator has no “ghetto” cred against the kenyan mulatto. lessons learned.
the axeltool™ should now be mocked for his obviousness.
I knew what you were saying. All of those fugly men’s sweaters are bought by someone trying to look good. I agree that Obama doesn’t even try. Hell, his suits look like they’re off the rack.
Read the Fox5 Atlanta report on Ginger White.
Seems pretty clear he was sleeping with her.
That response from the publicist will be studied and laughed at for years.
Hoo boy. Herman, Herman, Herman. *sigh*
“Read the Fox5 Atlanta report on Ginger White.
Seems pretty clear he was sleeping with her.
That response from the publicist will be studied and laughed at for years.”
mr. roddy what will be mentioned “will be studied and laughed at for years” is looking at this bs and not the coming armageddon you mbm loser. eff you “credentialled idiots” and axeltoolers.
“Seems pretty clear he was sleeping with her.”
can you prove that? or are you spinning for the axeltool? conjectures are fun no?
mr. roddy why is cain’s sex life important to the mbm and not baracky’s? baracky’s has dead people.
Didn’t there used to be something called ” the 48-hour rule”?
and slut for all things euro-trash-with-a-gash donald trump is still thinking about running?
why is cain’s sex life important to the mbm and not baracky’s? baracky’s has dead people.
Alinsky yo
Duh. Barack is a dem. We’re still not allowed to talk about what a load of pond scum the Kennedy family is/was/will ever be. The Bushes? Burn them!
“Didn’t there used to be something called ” the 48-hour rule”?”
oh that disappeared after ’08 for the axeltools on “our” side. who knew that there was such demand for establishmentgop in the blogosphere. could of got nr/weakly bs dead tree for that.
“We’re still not allowed to talk about what a load of pond scum the Kennedy family is/was/will ever be.”
oh douhickey did it in the nyt this weekend
Well NR, you could shoot at me for thinking that or you could get angry for Herman Cain for fucking a mistress for 13 years and then hustling for the Social Con and “I’m not a liar like Mr. Obama” vote.
So, you went for door two. Just know that there are those of us who think lying and cheating are wrong. I get that his marriage wasn’t perfect; nobody’s is. I just think he made a big mistake trying to stake some high ground of seriousness and integrity.
As for Armegeddon, I think I’ve pulled my weight on frauds, the credit crisis and the like. My next book is calling China “The People’s Republic of Madoff,” if that helps. If a majority of US voters in both parties don’t care to make hard, deep cuts, to close treasured loopholes, end popular deductions and make difficult calls in terms of foreign policy commitments, then there is not much you or I can do about it.
It’s a democracy. If a majority of our countrymen of both parites happily vote to take a seat on the Euro Collapse express, you can either stay on or get off. But its leaving the station none the less.
I’m not more credentialed than you. I just saw what’s coming and took the necessary steps. It’s going to be ugly as sin.
On the other hand, you’re a guy–or girl–named Newrouter with an armadillo next to your name.
cheating’s not so bad per se – we have no idea if Gloria can take a dick or not – it’s just it makes his pious “being gay is a choice” panderings look especially smarmy I think
Unbelievable. After six years of campaigning and reigning, we still don’t know for sure if Barack likes cock, but all it took was a small bounce in the polls for some WaPo cockroach to try crowdsourcing for Newtie dirt.
What the hell does mano a mano buggery have to do with marital infidelity? Not a damned thing. Unless, that is, you’re suggesting that the Hermanator is on the down low like rumored homosexual Barack Obama.
NR:
–BO has never, ever pretended to be a paragon of moral virtue. He just covers up and bets people won’t ask or, more likely in 08, won’t care since it looked like the world was ending. As far as dead people, beats me. What he has pretended to is competence, seriousness and a long-term sense of what’s best for the US and its citizens. We now know that as plain, flat crazy talk.
–I’ve a hunch that no one in the MSM has ever looked into his sex life since no one, to my knowledge, has ever come forward as a mistress, or with a kid, or with some version of the clap. It seems that he has been sleeping with FLOTUS since the ring went on the finger. But beats me.
–Think about it. You are a top flight POTUS candidate reeeling from harassment claims and various shades of it, justly or less so. A woman comes out and in detail discusseson camera how she’s been banging you for 13 years. There is anecdotal corroboration like texts and dozens of calls in her phone. But there’s a hitch: You HAVENT done it–not sex, not a BJ, nothing. She’s a key aide or a family friend or whatever and you’ve never done more than a hug at the dinner party the week before. It’s a total, unambiguous crock of crap.
So you put out a statement–with your campaign and reputation on the line–stating that you A) Didn’t harass her and B) Won’t comment on it.
Not likely.
there’s also a fairly serious character issue if he’s calling this hoochie a liar after she was his go-to fuck for 13 years
that’s the sort of thing people on tv do
“Just know that there are those of us who think lying and cheating are wrong.”
yea solyndra, fast and furious et al. shove a paw paw in it douchebag. you clowns suck.
I’ll leave final word (and best judgment) of Mr. Cain to Mrs. Cain. If he shows up in the next couple days with a LODGE imprimatur on his forhead, then he’s guilty. Maybe her sister is Madea, in which case, hot grits.
What the hell does mano a mano buggery have to do with marital infidelity?
because most people know you can’t choose your sexuality but you can choose not to be an adulterous floozy-banging man-whore slash baptist minister slash national sales tax advocate
Well, granted that’s the story that’s been sold to perfection lo these many years. It’s not, of course, it’s a Republic, or it was intended to be a Republic, though it hardly is any longer. Still, that word is still there, in Article 4, Section 4, whereas Democracy is nowhere to be found.
Abe, you know that since the 1980s, and the prominence of Social cons within the GOP, every reporter on a political beat is looking for a girl who gave the GOP frontrunner a BJ at a keg party sophomore year, right?
It’s not fair, right or good reporting–there is a hell of a lot more you can hit Gingrich with than some stupid thing he said in ’91–but its reality. It’s part of the reason, but by no means all, or even the biggest reason, that I left that world in 09.
“–BO has never, ever pretended to be a paragon of moral virtue”
yea and you mbm folks like to hide that sh)t. eff off roddy. i don’t listen to my “credentialed” betters no mo'(hillary inflection) go away you loser the effin’ crash is upon us.
newrouter, if he is a cockhound and disrespeted his own wife that way for that long, what makes you think he’d respect you (or any of us) after he’s elected?
“since the 1980s, and the prominence of Social cons within the GOP, every reporter on a political beat is looking for a girl who gave the GOP frontrunner a BJ at a keg party sophomore year, right?”
oh the media dnc speaks. you go clown.
there’s also a fairly serious character issue if he’s calling this hoochie a liar after she was his go-to fuck for 13 years
I don’t know about that. I actually think that any cumslut hoochie what testifies to her consensual dong receptionings on the tv has forfeited any measure of respect from the Hermanator. Of all the reasons to possibly cop to the allegation, respect for the 13 year cumslut ain’t even on the list.
very good point Mr. Froman
Two-edged sword, this godbothering pursuit. Not supposed to be an idle flirtation, really.
“if he is a cockhound”
big if no? or axeltool™? but the third rate wannabe president should not obscure the allegations against the present president. larry sinclair, college transcripts et al. baracky is the person to defeat not ricky perry’s mind fart.
this is just like the CW but real life you don’t even have to tivo it
NR–you get that I’m a business reporter, right? With a specialty in financial fraud investigative work, right? Or, failing that, that I’m not a political reporter or a national affairs reporter or a sports reporter, right?
Because I don’t think you do.
Let me try one more time: You have a beef with the 5k word story i wrote in July 08 that called Lehman’s collapse or distressed sale, six weeks before it went tits up, I’m all ears. Or the recap of how Bear died…or the dozens of scammy companies, hedge funds et al. that I nailed while they were actively screwing people…or the terror finance investigations… then Email me and I’ll listen. Jeff has it, so does BH.
If you don’t like what the media is doing to Cain (even if it is looking real clear his dick is to blame) my suggestion is to take it up with someone who is at fault.
Dude, Obama is a bad POTUS, a vastly worse one than the previous bad one, who was pretty crummy, but who, in retrospect, is looking like Aragorn from LOTR next to this flying circus.
I will vote for you, if you had the balls to use your name, I’d vote for Jeff or I’d vote for the Abe and Carin ticket. Anyone or anything but this lot, ok?
But you are a stooge on ice for imagining that Cain’s problem, in this instance, is the MSM.
Axetool away ‘Dillo man (or woman.) We’re in trouble and have been for awhile because the grownups have been away for a little too long.
“you get that I’m a business reporter, right?”

I was just throwing chum in the water, Roddy. I know the score all too well. Truth be told, I want to strangle most everyone on the right. We’re in a war and I feel surrounded by pussies with no guile, no balls, no imagination and an endless capacity for bitching. That’s pretty much why I go through stretches where I don’t want anything to do with this or any other political blog.
we also have really crappy candidates for example Bachmann and Perry and Santorum and this Cain fellow and Ron Paul and Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman
Newt Gingrich is the best of the lot?
Really?
How sad is that?
A lot of people were counting on getting this piece of shit out of our White House. But Team R simply didn’t even try to put its best foot forward.
The best we can hope is that the riff-raff go home as soon as their bloated sense of importance allows so we can get behind somebody and let our loathing of president fuckstick unite us in a Solemn Purpose
chop chop
NR, Its late and Im watching the Saints kill the Giants (I am a lax Giants fan.) Im way tired and I could use a bowl of Breyers.

Right there with you Abe. Err…

McCain has a more monstrous sense of entitlement than just about any non-fictional person you could name
he’s a very scary person
Who exactly would be our best foot forward, hf? It’s easy enough to say something like that, but you’re even more guilty than most of laboring under the notion that the Party would be just peachy if everyone in it thought exactly the way that you do. This whole Republican nomination deal is more like trying to herd feral cats than it is a great big collective of people who’ll know the right candidate when they see him/her.
“Do well and peace to you and yours.”
mr. roddy godspeed
has anyone done an examine of david axeltool?
Mitch Daniels I think. I also bet Mr. Kasich sometimes wonders but that maybe he should have foregone the governorship and thrown his hat in the ring with these hapless mooks. I think Rick Perry was a good foot to put forward… we had no way of knowing he wasn’t and never would be ready for prime time, and he can still do a lot of good by showcasing the salutary results of his brand of conservative leadership. I think charismatic lifeydoodle early-ryan-roadmap-endorsing Marsha Blackburn would’ve not been as zany as Bachmann, and I think she should be on the shortlist of veep candidates with Nikki Halley and that Rubio feller. I think absent Mr. Daniels, Paul Ryan had a duty to bring his ideas to the debate. I think Christie had a duty as well, though I wouldn’t have been a fan. He sure was content to suck up plenty of oxygen during the pre-game show.
So there’s the 5 or 6 I would’ve been glad to see in the race.
Mitch has forsaken us. Plus, he’s hen-pecked.
Carin: This is my Christmas avatard in case anyone was wondering.
Pouty babies are fine if you’re into that sort of thing, but personally, I miss your big white cock…
you’re right leigh Mr. Mitch’s senses of destiny and of duty have been thrown off-kilter by a too-long association with that flaky broad
and he’s just going to have to live with that
and also we’re just going to have to live with that
it really sucks
as it stands though I think Gingrich is right to dangle the prospect of a debate between himself and president fuckstick in front of Team R
everyone’s definitely gonna get their money’s worth
just watching Obama’s whore press frantically playing the expectations game is gonna be top shelf entertainment

Meh… I’m running my Irish flag up the pole and marching on Washington to protest their discrimination against leprechauns and drunks… but mostly drunks.

Oh and instead of vuvuzelas I also demand that bagpipes be loudly played at all soccer games.
Cut that out; I’m at work. They look at me funny.
Re: the Scott Johnson quote above
There’s no such thing as a “strong” conservative candidate. There are only “acceptable” and “unacceptable” conservatives —as determined by the Deciders who decide such things.
I love how Boyd plays the “it must be real; they’re reporting it” BS, and when a more discerning critic of the press calls him on it, retreats to “but I’m just a financial reporter, don’t blame me for those reports”.
If you cannot defend the lies and willful corruption of the press, don’t start by doing so. We get that it’s your profession, but so the fuck what? If my co-workers were systematically defrauding the public, I’d be doing everything I could to a) expose/stop them, and b) distance myself from them.
From SquidCo’s Repetitive Office of Repetition for SquidCo: Quit worrying about the presidential election. It’s just going to break your heart and give you ulcers. Focus instead on identifying the Establishment for what it is, and making sure that Congress and the several States are jam-packed with reform-minded free men who understand the Constitution and the limits of government power.
We want a House and Senate that will shove simple, clear reform bills down the President’s throat week after week. We want Oversight Committees hauling in Cabinet secretaries for hearings and then explaining to them why their departments are being defunded. We want Governors and Legislatures reasserting their sovereignty and telling Washington to pound sand. We want functional states providing dysfunctional states with examples of good governance. We want straight-talking leaders explaining the seriousness of our problems and the tough steps it’ll take to dig ourselves out, while emphasizing that we’re Americans, dammit, and we’ve climbed out of deeper holes than this in the past. We want savvy interviewees taking apart the loaded questions and facile arguments and bad-faith assumptions of their interviewers in the MSM. With these mechanisms in place, we can be assured that our candidate pool will be much stronger in the next cycle.
Romney is better than Obama in the same way that Stage 2 cancer is better than Stage 4 cancer. If the GOP establishment thinks they can force me to give myself Stage 2 cancer because “the alternative is worse,” they should understand that I don’t buy into their false dilemma. There are far more alternatives than the few they want to limit us to.
As far as the Presidential election goes, my main concern at this point is finding a new running mate for Mike Rowe. My Rowe/Paterno write-in from 2008 isn’t looking as great today as it did back then.
…wait: a Fox News station broke this story? That cannot possibly be, because they are all tools of the Republican Establishment.
Unless the Republican Establishment has it in for Mr. Cain, in which case it certainly IS true.
Who says we can’t have it both ways?
Good stuff Squid. I would only add something in there about changing the selection process so we don’t limit ourselves to fucking psychos as candidates.
Roddy’s an honest broker.
Short of going back to a caucus-convention system, there’s not a whole lot you can do other than to refuse to allow the media to pre-screen and filter out the zealots, amateurs and rubes, thus sticking you with a selection of psychos whose chief merit is that they’re pre-qualified according someone else’s standard.
What is wrong with going back to the caucus-convention system, as opposed to having people who get their political information from CNN in between episodes of that Snooky show select someone to rule my life?
Nothing as far as I’m concerned.
Endless caucuses populated by ladies in funny hats and big lapel pins? Make it stop! It’s bad enough that we run the same candidates through the mill ever single time: Uncle Ron is the Pat Paulson of Team R. It’s like watching an endless loop of Groundhog Day, already. Nein! I Nein! Nein! I say to the caususes!
It’s looking extremely rocky for our Mudville Eight these days. Someone better catch Obama in flagrante with a young boy ASAP or I fear we’ll see him sworn in again.
He’s entirely too wedded to the fantasy view of his profession.
Who is this “we”? Do you have names for the people that have made Paul run again and again?
I sure as hell would never even ask him to run, let alone do it every time.
So two nuclear weapons associated military installations in Iran have had massive explosions over the past couple of weeks, then today some
Basijstudents overrun the British Embassy in Tehran, destroying the place and evidently taking hostages from among the diplomats. It’s probably just a coincidence. But hey, that’s not Jimmy Carter in the White House. Jimmy actually got along with the Brits.The “we” is a part of “them” and “they”. You know, Rob: Them other guys. As for Ron Paul, you’d think his kids would do an intervention with the old man and pry all the campaign literature out of his grasp. I keep waiting for him to use some anti-Semitic slur when he’s talking about Israel. You know it’s all he can do to hold it back.
Where did you see that story, sdferr? I find that there is a dearth of news in the News. It’s 1978 all over again in Iran.
Radio reports, Drudge, Ledeen at PJM, FNC, it’s out there.
I trust the “ladies in funny hats and big lapel pins” more than I trust the “people who get their political information from CNN in between episodes of that Snooky show.” If you don’t, make the time to attend your caucus.
That was mentoring, you homophobic racist! He was just selflessly helping that young man get in touch with his sexuality! I swear, you people are out of your minds.
He’s entirely too wedded to the fantasy view of his profession.
Could it be that you’re too wedded to your nightmare vision?
I fear we’ll see him sworn in again
Here we go with the “politics of Fear”™ again.
Thanks, sdferr. I found it on the interwebs, its apparently not important enough for the teevee.
Mentoring, eh, Pablo? Is that what they call it now?
Ernst, we don’t caucus here.
We don’t here either. I’m speaking to a general hypothetical.
You use caucuses to select representatives to the convention. The folks at the convention select a candidate. It wasn’t a perfect system, but it beat the fuck out of the disaster we have now.
Heh, it sounds like it was too republican B. Moe, hence passé beyond telling. We’re all democrats now.
It’s in keeping with the rest of the “progressive”-minded reforms: more democratic, the less representative.
Fuck it. I’m-a write in my own damn name.
Pouty babies are fine if you’re into that sort of thing, but personally, I miss your big white cock…
heh.
The big white cock will back in the New Year.
Best to have friends in high places, better if they can/will shutdown an FOIA though.
I mean, the white cock is cool but then you’ve never seen my giant pussy.
Really Crawford?
What view is that?
All I said is that some woman came forward and on the record claimed to have been banged by Cain for 13 years. Turns out that HC has her on speed dial, talks to her at all hours and when asked for comment said that he didnt harass her and won’t talk about her. Right. Looking good there Robby. Just how you’d play it if it wasn’t your rice pudding on the kitchen floor.
You have a beef with my reporting? Ok, name when and where. I laid out where I worked to NR above. I’ve never been anything but frank about the left-leaning view of the MSM; It’s one of the reasons I decided to stop working for daily papers and mags (the commute sucked as well.) Now I write books and report on various scams and financial debacles, doing what most other BUSINESS reporters cannot or will not.
Oh and how about you? What do you do for a living? I’d be interested to know how what I do is RAPING LITTLE BLOND ANGEL GIRLS BAD!!!!! but you are clean enough–or without collective guilt or sin–to pass judgement.
Give some sport here laddie.
Looks like the Herman is reassessing his campaign. Does he drop out this week or next?
That’s the flabbiest pussy I think I’ve ever seen, Carin.
SDFerr knows his/her stuff. You’d have made a top flight story editor for a good magazine. Keen eye, good recollection of facts. Could have used you on a deadline or two in days past. That “democracy” vs. “republic” thing downthread is a good example.
Roddy Boyd represents his profession perfectly. He not only was happy to declare Cain a serial sexual harasser with zero evidence when that accusation was made, along with a totally baseless accusation of his own that Romney was definitely behind it, he’s just as happy to declare Cain unfit now over more of the same.
Anyone that will declare Cain unfit now better get used to a President Obama in 2013, because they have much, much more on Romney and Gingrich.
That’s the flabbiest pussy I think I’ve ever seen, Carin.
I know. It just lies here and does nothing.
And don’t get me started about the smell.
It’s probably just a coincidence. But hey, that’s not Jimmy Carter in the White House.
Obama has a plan for Iran. He’s going to extend his hand, until they unclench their fist.
(baa haaa haaaa haaaa )
I wish newsfoks would repeat that little nugget every so often. It’s hard carrying this torch all by myself.
That is a huge pussy, Carin. Yikes.
It was that way when I got it, cranky.
Jeez Carin, I hope child services doesn’t get wind of it then. They’ll grab up that baby cat in a clogged coronary arterial heartbeat.
I think who’s calling whom is still up in the air a bit. She could be calling him at all hours and he’s returning her calls (for whatever reason) during respectable hours.
This is assuming she’s kind of stalkerish, and he’s not trying to baldly bluff his way out of this.
That, of course, is getting harder to believe.
You think so, sdferr?
*makes anon call to protective cat services
My bil dumped the cat on us when he went to Afghanastan. He’s been “home” for three years or so and apparently has no plan to repatriate her.
But I’m in a secret santa thing over at the Hostages, so I’ve got a plan …
I thought the sexual harassment bimbos were full of shit but I think this new chippie is for reals. What authenticates it for me is that the chippie went to some no-name local newsmonkeys to tell her story plus that ooky thing Herman wrote in that book he gave her about how everything beyond friendship is a bonus.
But I’m glad to see the field narrowing so that not-Romney can emerge and save christmas.
On the inadvertent joke front, I just got the NRO McCarthy reader e-mail (haven’t read it yet), featuring the headline “The GOP Is Missing Its Chance to Stand for Limited Government”. Ha! Missing its chance? They’re spitting it out, obfuscating, obliterating, ignoring, eschewing, and damning that chance as fast as their little spinning wheels can move! They want no parts of it, yet NRO doesn’t know this? I’m thinking I’ll unsubscribe that sucker.
Don’t you have to join the union to take care of animals like that? Or at least pay dues? Gotta be a law somewhere that everyone in our State will be required to pay union dues for living.
Oh, and also, for those of you ready to judge Cain guilty and move on, your crying that the R field is weak needs to be done in front of a mirror.
ANY R person thinking of running for President is going to get this treatment. Sad Mitch isn’t running? It’s your own fault. He saw what happened to Palin, and said no thanks.
Next time you’ll be sad ‘cuz someone else you like doesn’t want his rep ruined with lies.
Whatever, I’m sure there’s a person above all accusation out there somewhere. Good luck finding him.
LB, I think you have me mistaken with someone else. My statements on Cain on PW re: sexual harrassment were supportive of him, as I recollect, as were my private conversations. You have evidence to the contrary? Of course you do, since you wouldn’t crap on a fellow without just cause. T
However, speaking personally, he is screwed as far as I can see. That upsets you. Me too. I was planning on voting for him. You’re angry with me for being angry at him and angry at the media for reporting on this.
One thing: A lot of people like me are angry or disappointed with him because he has apparently kept a mistress for 13 years while hustling for a vote as the Anti-Obama to social cons and the like. If he is innocent then he really should do something to salvage his campaign and say so, maybe even sue her for damages. Because that’s what innocent people do–they seek to clear their name. They don’t say that they won’t comment further but didn’t sexually harass her. That’s what people like Bill Clinton say.
We have the politics we have because both sides play the “dirt game.” Having sexual peccadillos generally hurts the GOP more; being a corporate tool hurts the Dems more. I don’t like it either. But that’s the system.
I’m not judging him guilty so much as judging him to be non-viable going forward Mr. lee. He was already bleeding before this Atlanta chippie started squawking.
Laughing so hard right now.
Lee, I don’t think Daniels’ decision was predicated on what had been done to Gov Palin, so much as on what he saw from people viewing the possibility of his own move to run. People just like many here, who wanted no parts of him. I think he knew he had little chance, all things taken in all.
LB, I’d still consider voting for the guy. But the guy has a lot of skeletons, it would seem, and I’d need to understand that the guy wouldn’t be spending his time or energy banging everything that comes down the pike. I’m a fan, not a fanboy.
2 games suspension?
*cries
“What authenticates it for me is that the chippie went to some no-name local newsmonkeys”
What turns it to bullshit for me is she claims to have been having an affair with a rich married man for 13 years, but has been evicted twice in the last 5, and declared bankruptcy, and various other stupid shit mistresses of wealthy married men don’t do. But she chooses now to out him.
Uh huh…
she’s a value-bin chippie
And there was a restraining order or some such in there somewhere, wasn’t there?
Not that there’s anything wrong with restraining orders. I mean, who of us hasn’t had one?
“You have evidence to the contrary? Of course you do, since you wouldn’t crap on a fellow without just cause. T”
But Roddy, I accused you of it, so it must be true!
Seriously, I’m relying on memory, but it seems you were one saying because there’s been so many accusing him, and smoke/fire, blah, blah, blah. If I’m wrong, I apologize, but I definitely remember you saying of course Romney was behind it…with as much proof as the anonymous sexual harassment accusers.
Careful chucking rocks from glass houses.
I think it would be more fair if it was only one game but the Packers got to decide which one.
Which you believe because she says it.
The 48-Hour Rule is for rubes now, I guess.
Roddy, every time you get like this I end up hating media types more than ever.
I also find it interesting, as one claiming to be a social con, defending him against people that usually sneer at social cons.
“don’t think Daniels’ decision was predicated on what had been done to Gov Palin, so much as on what he saw from people viewing the possibility of his own move to run”
sdferr, his stated reason was his family didn’t want him to run. After Palin(and now Cain), I don’t blame them.
That’s true Lee, but I simply don’t credit the stated reason for the decision, though I recognize it surely played a role. I’m just attempting to look at the whole picture.
And she says she was afraid of being at the center of a political tsunami. So, she did what anyone who doesn’t want to get in the middle of such a thing does. She went on camera to talk about it with a reporter.
And a stalking allegation…from another woman (who is the same women), no less.
So I guess men what keep mistresses or have the occasional happy bang are only fit to run Italy. Or France. Or the US between 1993-2001. And 1961-1963.
VIRTVS MAXIME EST
Oh, perhaps men who choose mistresses so poorly (if the accusations are true) are unfit to run the US in 2012.
I’d have to ask Vera Baker.
It would have been an interesting tack (assuming Cain has been gettin’ tail everywhere he can, cuz DAMN them white chicks is hawt!) to have answered the first few accusations with “Yep. I did it. Still doing it, too. Now let’s talk about how badly Obama’s screwed up the economy and how I’ll fix the tax code.” And, “You may want to discuss my smokin’ sex life, but I think it’s more important to obliterate the federal government’s overreaching regulatory stranglehold on the businesses that can’t risk hiring people right now.”
Political suicide, because all Rs must meet the Enemy’s definition of RIGHTEOVS above all, but interesting.
I’d say the two men who “ran” the U.S. between 1961 & 1963 and between 1993 and 2001 were both unfit.
In the case of the former we’d know it too, if he hadn’t been martyred like that.
IF it’s true, that would have been an interesting tack. It also would have been the smart play. So either it’s not true, or Herman Cain truly doesn’t have the savy for the political side of the job.
I’d take that playa we had from 1801-1809 right about now.
LB, In respect to you, you are wrong. I didn’t hit on the harassment. I said, to paraphrase, “if it was harassment, it was some sort of bezerk interpretation since real harassment cases dont settle for $35k.” I also think I referenced the fact that I covered a few back in the day when i was a cub reporter and on Wall Street at least, the big firms settle valid harassment for north of $1mm regularly. My point is yhat Cain COULDNT have done very much if they settled up for $35k, maybe a stupid joke after three beers, or what have you. You take the point.
McGehee, I get your pissed at me for doubting the guy’s innocence. I get a lot of people are angry at the media, or what’s left of it, anyhow. I just honestly don’t believe innocent–or more accurately per HC’s case, non-adulterous–people behave that way. That’s my personal experience.
For what its worth, I’m a recovering drunk. I know more than most about bad situations and guilt and innocence. I feel badly for him.
I really like Cain’s proposals and personal disposition. I hope the guy can get his personal act together. I think he could be a good example to America’s poor that hard work, pluck, smart risk and drive can lead you to BIG places, that rap and sports aren’t the only way out.
Upthread, “downthread” should read “upthread.”
” just honestly don’t believe innocent–or more accurately per HC’s case, non-adulterous–people behave that way. “
Innocent people behave in all kinds of ways. Some even make false confessions. I firmly believe innocent people confess to a lesser charge for a suspended sentence instead of jail time every day in our court system. Some innocent people don’t want to dignify the accusation with any response.
I honestly believe you don’t have a clue how an innocent person will react to any given accusation.
I certainly wouldn’t claim that kind of ability anyway…
Yup, except we’re not talking about bargaining down to misdeamenor posession of a few dime bags when you were puffing away with a guy who happened to be hauling 10 lbs in his trunk.
People who want to be POTUS do not quit the race if a woman who they were trying to help get a job/financial assistance falsely claim to have had a 13 year affair with. They don’t. If you think otherwise, you’re simply misunderstanding what is at stake in a Presidential race. In your private, non-POTUS life, deal with a false accusation any which way you want; not dignifying it with a response is valid (if risky.)
When a purported mistress is telling the world about your 13 year love affair on TV and you HAVENT slept with her and you are trying to be POTUS, you come out stronger than “no comment.” Nor do your advisors and staff leak word of suspending the campaign.
I’d rather he stayed in the race and clarified or defended or copped to whatever. I hope he and his wife come out of this stronger. I’m thinking the personal foibles don’t matter anymore, left or right, so unless he did something sick or illegal, I’ll forgive the guy.
But he owes supporters a little more than what he’s up to now. This isn’t complicated; you don’t need deep-game strategy when you’re wrongly accussed.
He hasn’t dropped out yet.
It would be interesting to note whether the people who thought it was perfectly ok for Clinton to lie about sex think that it would be perfectly ok if Herman Cain were lying about sex.
Probably that conversations would make some heads asplode, though.
“we’re not talking about bargaining down to misdeamenor posession of a few dime bags when you were puffing away with a guy who happened to be hauling 10 lbs in his trunk.”
No we’re not, and that’s why I said “innocent”. As in, didn’t know anything about the 10lbs of pot or the people that had it, was just walking down the sidewalk doing nothing wrong. Then finding himself in jail for 3 months with his lawyer telling him if he goes to trial there’s a chance he’ll do 20 years in prison, but if he cops to misdemeanor possession he’ll get out with time served. If he takes the deal he’s not looking at another 6 months in jail before gambling on a jury verdict, and the police don’t have to admit they got the wrong guy.
Maybe you are heroic enough to gamble on a trial because of your innocence, but many aren’t.
“People who want to be POTUS do not quit the race if a woman who they were trying to help get a job/financial assistance falsely claim to have had a 13 year affair with. They don’t. If you think otherwise, you’re simply misunderstanding what is at stake in a Presidential race”
Imagine Cain is totally innocent, has always treated women properly. Pretend, for the sake of discussion, Cain didn’t diddle this chick, and knew her as just a friend. Some one he tried to help. Then she does this.
I’m thinking Cain has a new appreciation for what’s at stake. When you find yourself in a place where truth and reality are of no consequence, and your own family is on the line, an innocent man may rethink his position and what he’s willing to sacrifice, and for what.
“But he owes supporters a little more than what he’s up to now”
If Cain is innocent he owes squat, except to his family.
