Carl Paladino’s Thugs Act Like Mafia Dons
If you’re older than ten you probably remember seeing clips of brawls in the governing chambers of broken-down, desperate, third world countries and you probably remember the newsreader looking down his or her nose in arrogance and disgust while saying something like, “This would never happen here!”
Here, as in the USofA.
Look at this video of New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino being confronted by a reporter. Watch Paladino’s henchmen:
Point being — we’re getting there — to that third world place.
Michael Moore Has Twice as Many Followers on Twitter as Glenn Beck
“Some” might say this is trivial and, in the grand scheme of things it is, but insofar as Glenn Beck gets four bazillion times more “liberal media” attention than Michael Moore does I thought I’d point out that Moore has twice as many Twitter followers than Beck.
——————————————
So, say it again? Why is Beck everywhere and Moore isn’t? Because the liberal media rules the world?
Yeah. Right.
Meg Whitman’s Story About Her Housekeeper Doesn’t Hold Up
Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman says she was “stunned” when she learned that her former housekeeper, Nicandra Diaz — who she had employed for nine years — was an undocumented worker?
According to a spokeswoman at the Social Security Administration, all employers are required to verify Social Security numbers before hiring someone, and that it “has been the case for ten years or longer.” Further, the Internal Revenue Service requires employers to use Social Security numbers to report wages.
So we’re supposed to believe that over the course of nine years — NINE YEARS! — Whitman had no idea what Diaz’s status was?
That’s just flat out unbelievable.
Sorry the Blog is so Boring Today
… nothin’s grabbing me.
I think I have a severe, severe, case of outrage overload and that I’m having a day of uncontrollable numbness.
Who Knew There Were So Many Favored Salts?
Geez, I just stumbled upon the website “SaltWorks.”
I had no idea there were so many flavored salts.
Wow.
I want to try,
(But no way am I going to pay $12 plus postage for a few ounces of salt. Oh well.)
James O’Keefe’s White Privilege
Try and imagine that, this weekend, I plan to stage an elaborate “prank.” Because I disagree with her politics, I’m going to coax Ann Coulter out from Connecticut under the pretense that I’d like to interview her. When she arrives, alone, she’s encountered by me and a couple friends, who tell her we’d like to do the interview on a boat. She concedes, probably hesitantly, but off we go.
Once we’re out at sea, far away from land and decent cell service, I pull out dildos, condoms, hardcore porn magazines, handcuffs and a blindfold, and I begin to aggressively hit on Coulter. I compliment her sex appeal and then tell her the thesis of my ruse: I’m going to screw her like she screws liberals.
Imagine one of my friends is videotaping this, and that, while I don’t physically harm Coulter, I relentlessly pursue this intimate humiliation until I feel like we’ve got all the tape we need for our “joke.”
Two things would happen once we’d returned to shore, with Coulter embarrassed and scared: 1. My friends and I would be rightfully arrested for kidnapping and assault and 2. I’d never find employment ever again.
If this scenario sounds farcical, it’s not. It’s exactly what conservative prankster James O’Keefe—he of the ACORN pimp fiasco—had planned to do to CNN correspondent Abbie Boudreau, right down to the “condom jar” and “lube.” In a document he titled “CNN Caper, O’Keefe says his ultimate goal was to turn the tables on CNN: “Using hot blondes to seduce interviewees to get screwed on television, you are faux seducing her in order to screw her on television.”
Get it? He fakes trying to date rape you because you’re more liberal than him.
Thankfully, O’Keefe’s “Caper” failed, due mostly to the fact that one of his female colleagues, Izzy Santa, was disgusted with him and told Boudreau that she shouldn’t get on the boat. Had Santa not been there, who knows what might have happened.
Today, O’Keefe isn’t in jail or facing charges for attempted kidnapping or sexual intimidation. Instead, he remains at the head of Project Veritas, a group he founded in order to, apparently, sexually harass people with whom he disagrees. In fact, right now, he’s still accepting donations to continue his noble work—you can even book him to speak at events.
More…
The title of this post is, “James O’Keefe’s Latest Prank is a Tale of White Privilege,” which wouldn’t be more true. This wasn’t a “caper” as some in the media are calling it. It was an attempted assault or an attempted kidnapping and James O’Keefe should be facing charges. If he were a black man, he mostly likely would be.
296 Advertisers Are Boycotting Glenn Beck
Per a long article in the New York Times about Glenn Beck (hey, the guy needs a little publicity, don’t ya think?):
While Beck’s personal ventures and exposure have soared this year, his television ratings have declined sharply — perhaps another factor in the network’s impatience. His show now averages two million viewers, down from a high of 2.8 million in 2009, according to the Nielsen Ratings. And as of Sept. 21, 296 advertisers have asked that their commercials not be shown on Beck’s show (up from 26 in August 2009).
