Fox News Need a Proofreader

Fox News went ahead and ran the Kennedy Dies article written the day after the inauguration. I know this because look at the date on the article on their page right now.

"We Need to Get Control of the Media"

At the healthcare townhall meeting this weekend in Los Angeles with Maxine Waters, a man got up to speak about the rumors and fabrications in the media. He kept repeating "We need to Get Control of the Media" which while I know what he's saying, isn't the way to say it. Because it sounds like censorship when it should be a call for re-branding. Like when a product is new, you can only keep that word on the box of cereal for six months and then the government doesn't allow it as it's not new any more. When there's a certain amount of opinion or unsubstantiated "facts" then the word news shouldn't be allowed in your title. It should be something like Fox Opinion or MSNBC Diatribe.

Below is the video I recorded of his concerns. Which, like my earlier blog on the topic was just a story he wanted to tell, not a question he wanted to ask.

PS, the photo above is of the two cameras from the media who were there during the speeches but had already left at the time of this man's speech.

Healthcare Townhall in LA

There was a Healthcare Townhall meeting today in Los Angeles moderated by Rep. Maxine Waters and as you would expect in LA there were less political crazies than mental crazies. I know you might believe the political crazies to be mental crazies but these were just mental crazies with a bipartisan approach.

There was a guy talking about how he knew Colin Powell and that Colin should be in on the meeting he wants to have with Maxine. And a woman who said "Redondo Beach is the worst city in the world" due to its poor health care in not treating her epilepsy and taking away her children and letting other people spank them. A bit of a rambler. So all in all there were more people wanting to tell their story than ask a question because they were overwhelmingly supporters of Obama and you can't stop someone once they start talking about their health. In fact, there were so many people who wanted to talk about their health that there were not enough seats and people had to stand out in the lobby and just listen to the proceedings.

I was expecting more out of the black guy with the Glenn Beck "Don't Tread on Me T-Shirt". I mention his race because who knew there were African American Glenn Beck supporters? But all he did was sarcastically say "We're going to be paying for our healthcare? But Obama said that we wouldn't pay a dime."
























So, no screams of "Socialism" or "Nazi!" and the only rifle I saw was toted by a color guard but it's likely that those old screaming white people who usually show up are too scared to attend a Townhall in Inglewood.


This guy must have been there to talk about prenatal care.






















Now, the video I recorded which follows is probably just an angry Veteran but he did start off talking about when he fell in love with Maxine which caused the audience to yell at him to get to the point and then this happened...

Reagan Propaganda Extends to imdb.com

Man, did I come across a full-on Reagan propaganda machine on his imdb bio page. You'll enjoy such fun facts as "Ronald Reagan is, arguably, the most successful actor in history" and "He once had to retrieve an old man's dentures at the bottom of the pool and did so without hesitating."

Upon further investigation you will find that his entire comment section is filled by "two" posters "Conservatives are Awwesome" (their spelling) and "Flight Suit Boyy" (also their spelling) from just two days ago and are posted in the order of every other in an attempt to look like two different people.

Take a look at it for yourself, "they've" covered everything from: "Put Ronald Reagan on Mount Rushmore" to "Why Extremists dislike Reagan and Ike (because of their jealousy!)." Shouldn't that be spelled "Xtremists", Mr. "Hip" Nomenclature?
















Let's find out more about these "Xtremely spelled" 80s style user names:

Conservatives Are Awwesome joined April 26, 2006 and was last active July 23, 2009 and all of his posts except for one are on Reagan's site. The one exception being a post on Ike's wall.










Flight Suit Boyy, presumably George W Bush, joined April 25, 2006 and was also last active on July 23, 2009 and has posted exclusively on Reagan's site.











Hmm. One day apart in joining imdb and sudden activity in the past three days...

Well anyways, I'll leave you with these parting repetitions from Flight Suit Boyy "Reagan achieved this with astonishing swiftness... Reagan quickly taught O'Neill new lessons in hardball... In a breathtakingly short time by political standards, the Cold War ended in Western victory." Yes, speed = great President.

Religious Segregation

Watching Khamenei speak to a crowd full of guys. No women in the crowd as he makes fun of "the husband of this woman who speaks for him." And they laugh.

Sounds like a Leno joke during the Clinton administration. I'm waiting for the dancing Ayatollahs to come out any second.



















And now the immediate feigned Glenn Beck style crying. "I want those around me to know that I'm so religious that I'm so overcome with emotion that my shoulders are shaking and I have to hide my eyes." Oh, look they're fine, seconds later, no longer overcome with emotion.















The crowd beneath the cover reminds me of chickens in a coop clucking along and rustling their feathers.



And so this man with a mighty presumptuous title has said that the election was a definitive victory that cannot be challenged on the streets.

Oh, yeah? It can, it has, and it will.

Yes, we can.

The Tweet is Mightier than the Sword

How low is Ahmadinejad’s self esteem right now? I mean, he left the country and went to Russia during all of the protesting just to get away. And Russia was like, “I don’t know what to tell you. We were all godless Communists 18-years-ago. And that didn’t work out for us either. Now, don’t shake my hand on camera.”













But the topic of getting away from it all brings to mind the former Mayor of Washington, DC, Marion Barry, who went to the Super Bowl, held in Southern California that year, during a city crippling snow storm. Okay, maybe it’s not exactly the same. But when the criticism sent Barry running back he was shown on the news shoveling snow off of the sidewalks and into the streets where the cars would take care of it. Yep, he always knew exactly what to do.

And so I would like to draw a parallel between these two former mayors by using a quote from the night that caused his temporary removal from the office of Mayor. Marion Barry, “Bitch set me up.”














Ahmadinejad should be using this as his mantra tonight as the Supreme “Bitch” has set him up. Not a crack whore in an FBI hidden camera hotel room bust but an ayatollah and the ayatollah before him. Which, come on guys, what’s with the one letter difference in name: Khomeini/Khameini? What are you George W Bush and George H W Bush? I guess it gets you into “office” easier. Right, John Q Adams?

Anyways, these clerics put Ahmadinejad out front like Tony Soprano put his Uncle Corrado Soprano out there as the leader of the family, when really it’s him. That way, he doesn’t go to jail first. In Iran’s situation Ahmadinejad is pushed forward like some PR representative conducting press conferences on behalf of the clerics. And the world listens to his Tom Cruise-like rantings with the same reaction “What the hell is wrong with that guy? If he’d just shut up, I’d go see his movie.”

And this Musavi must have a directly oppositional heightened sense of self-esteem when he's just really a choice, not THE choice, but A choice. These clerics are the ones running the country and they’re the ones in charge of these “fashion police” who go around harassing people about their hair cuts...



...and their scarf coverage...



...and their paisley.



Sure, “What Not to Wear” would be all over that last pattern choice but the option of the little black dress that every woman must have in her closet is a long black dress that every woman MUST have in her closet. And on her body covering up her rights. In the United States when women were finally allowed to wear pants they gained the vote, it came along at the same time and there’s something about the freedom to choose what you wear, the freedom over what’s on the outside that leads to freedom of what’s on the inside, the freedom to think, the freedom to choose, the freedom to decide. I know, decide is the same as choose but I’m a stickler for rule of threes.

And so I’ll use Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as analysis of the “Fashion Police” and their effect on Iranians.



The concept of Maslow’s Hierarchy is that you have to satisfy your baser instincts before you can become fully Self-Actualized. First on the list is food and water, second is a sense of security, third is companionship, fourth a sense of achievement, and fifth is self-actualization. If you need one of the lower items on the list, then you start all over in your pursuit of actualization. And so when your safety, which is only second on the list, is constantly attacked you have a hard time concentrating on anything else. I know we all get hungry and thirsty but I’m trying to make a point here, so pay attention. When your job is to only concern yourself with the outside, then you definitely don’t spend much time getting higher on that list. I mean, grocery store tabloids are no better than Iranian fashion police. They’re both concerned with how much cellulite is showing.

Yes, the outside is a display of what’s going on on the inside. But forcing someone “to believe” isn’t going to make them believe. And testing yourself, averting your own eyes away from that sexy old lady’s hair would be a greater measure of your self-actualization than constantly looking for something that you “should” be denying yourself.

If someone’s not at prayer and you’re harassing them for not going, then you’re not at prayer which is where Allah wants you to be in your time zone at that particular moment.

And so what I’m saying is that the Fashion Police are blocking Ahmadinejad from becoming self-actualized because their actions have caused the country to rise up against him, therefore lowering his self esteem level 5, his sense of achievement level 4, his sense of companionship level 3, his sense of security level 2, and I bet all of this dissent is really making him thirsty so now he’s back to level number one. And a world without a fully self-actualized Ahmadinejad, well, we all remember what Corrado did to Tony on “The Sopranos.”



Then again, maybe a fully self-actualized Ahmadinejad isn’t such a good thing.


One more parallel, Al Gore had an election stolen from him and he became the “going green” agent for change. Mussavi had an election stolen from him and he became the “going green” agent for change.

Icons are a powerful thing.
