Porn company names Gingrich ‘Family Values Porn Fan of the Year, 2009.’ newt_award1Newt Gingrich’s corporate-friendly advocacy group American Solutions for Winning the Future (ASWF) has had a propensity for telling pornography companies that they have received an award and then subsequently retracting them. Recently, ASWF awarded The Lodge — a gentleman’s club in Dallas — with an Entrepreneur of the Year award but then rescinded that award. Also, Pink Visual — a porn DVD store in California — was informed by ASWF that it received the “tremendous honor” of being named a 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year. ASWF later claimed it ...

* BANK OF AMERICA SCREWING SENIOR CITIZENS 0 comments Oct 9, 2009 11:17 AM o Font Size: o Print o Email o TweetThis The Federal Reserve and mega criminal banks have already been screwing senior citizens for the last year. They have colluded to drive interest rates to zero. A risk averse senior citizen living on a fixed income like my mother, gets nothing on her money market fund or CDs. Due to the fake CPI, she will get no increase in her social security. The academic, Ben Bernanke, has decided to throw my mother and millions of other senior citizens under the bus in order to enrich his masters, the mega criminal banks (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, etc.). They get to borrow at 0% ...
Nobel Peace Laureate: Obama Choice "Disappointing"

Mairead Maguire, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in l976, said today: "I am very disappointed to hear that the Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama. They say this is for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples, and yet he continues the policy of militarism and occupation of Afghanistan, instead of dialogue and negotiations with all parties to the conflict. ... "Furthermore, I believe the Nobel Committee has not met the conditions of Alfred Nobel's will where he stipulates it is to be awarded to those who work for an end to militarism and war, and for ...

Twist in my sobriety > print version Deidre Dare Speaking of masturbation, I've noticed that more and more expats (including myself) here are starting to prefer it over the more social way of getting one's rocks off.

A rough guide to rude English > print version Mark H. Teeter "Rude am I in my speech /And little blest with the soft phrase of peace..." Hah! What was "rude" to Shakespeare's Othello today seems quaintly innocent to speakers of American English. Public discourse in the United States now bristles with such a "middle-finger spirit of contrarianism," as writer Garrison Keillor recently termed it, that any utterance lacking obscenity or actionable slander might meet the tragic Moor's criteria for a "soft phrase."

Russia-US: It’s the world order, stupid! > print version Peter Lavelle This past week the presidents of Russia and the United States made earnest attempts to bolster a bilateral relationship that has been in tatters for at least the past eight years. The administration of Barack Obama scrapped Bush-era anti-missile plans in Eastern Europe and Dmitry Medvedev made it clear that Russia remains flexible when dealing with Iran's controversial nuclear program. Is there a quid pro quo in play? It is difficult to say at this point. However, there can be no doubt Russia and the US intend to focus on the few important issues that bring them together. This is a wise approach - for too ...
Russian senator calls Obama's Nobel prize 'reaction to Bush era'

MOSCOW, October 9 (RIA Novosti) - The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama was an expression of disappointment with the previous U.S. leadership, a Russian senator said on Friday. The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award earlier in the day. "After the crushing neo-conservatism of the previous American administration, there really is a need to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people, and the awarding of the prize to Obama testifies to the deep disappointment caused by the policies of George Bush," said Mikhail Margelov, who chairs the foreign affairs committee in the upper house of Russia's parliament.

Out of the 'Hood—A Derrion Albert Parable My parents made a choice to keep us away from black neighborhoods. Now I realize it may have been a choice between living and dying. By: Veronica-Marche Miller | Posted: October 4, 2009 at 8:17 PM I won’t watch the video. Reading the reports and other people’s reactions is more than enough. The story is devastating, heartbreaking, maddening and enough to send you into a rage. The one thing the story isn’t, however, is new. That’s because the Derrion Albert video told the world something that we already knew, but rarely spoke aloud: Too many black Americans aren’t safe in their own neighborhoods. When I think ...

The American Propsect's Adam Serwer notes that, yesterday, Sen. Joe Lieberman successfully inserted into the Homeland Security appropriations bill an amendment -- supported by the Obama White House -- to provide an exemption from the Freedom of Information Act's mandates by authorizing the Defense Secretary to suppress long-concealed photographs of detainee abuse. Two courts had ruled -- unanimously -- that the American people have the right to see these photographs under FOIA, a 40-year-old law championed by the Democrats in the LBJ era and long considered a crowning jewel in their legislative achievements. But this Lieberman amendment, which is now likely to pass, ...

Americans, as a people, are some of the brightest, shrewdest, most competitive, most giving people on the face of the planet. We are a nation of immigrants, all born or came here to seek freedom and ability to live our lives as we see fit. Just being here, means this is the 'shining beacon on the hill' as former President John F. Kennedy once said. We don't tolerate fakery, we're kind to a fault, very trusting and forgiving, we have some of the best con men (and women) ever to walk on the face of the planet, and we can be very arrogant. One thing we are not, is stupid. I must also state there's a vast difference between the American people, and U.S. government - the ...

Marx and Lenin Revisited

“Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.” Karl Marx If Karl Marx and V. I. Lenin were alive today, they would be leading contenders for the Nobel Prize in economics. Marx predicted the growing misery of working people, and Lenin foresaw the subordination of the production of goods to financial capital’s accumulation of profits based on the purchase and sale of paper instruments. Their predictions are far superior to the “risk models” for which the Nobel Prize has been given and are closer to the money than the predictions of Federal Reserve chairmen, US Treasury secretaries, and ...

Editorial: Klamath pact could be a start toward peace Published: Sunday, Oct. 4, 2009 - 12:00 am | Page 6E Last Modified: Sunday, Oct. 4, 2009 - 11:15 am This week's draft settlement on Klamath River water doesn't mark the end of an epic battle, but it does mark a milestone. Just a few years ago, farmers, Indian tribes, environmentalists and power users were at one another's throats. It was hard to imagine they would ever sit down and negotiate a pact that would simultaneously help fish and farmers while also protecting ratepayers who depend on Klamath River hydropower. Yet it happened. After years of painstaking talks, a settlement to the Klamath wars is within sight. The ...

Sailer Strategy Supplement: Rebrand Democrats As The Black Party By Steve Sailer Two weeks ago, I noted that the Republican Party has been digging itself an ever deeper electoral hole by tolerating (when not exacerbating) the lax immigration policies of the last four-plus decades. These caused demographic changes that are indisputably and inevitably deleterious to the GOP. Yet, I pointed out, there remains a logical possibility that the country can avoid one-party Democratic rule even as far out as the middle of the 21st century. If all else remains equal, I calculated, Republican candidates could win in the 2048-2052 era simply by 1) increasing the GOP’s share of the white vote, ...

Robert Fisk’s World: Everyone seems to be agreeing with Bin Laden these days Only Obama, it seems, fails to get the message that we’re losing Afghanistan Saturday, 19 September 2009 Obama and Osama are at last participating in the same narrative. For the US president's critics – indeed, for many critics of the West's military occupation of Afghanistan – are beginning to speak in the same language as Obama's (and their) greatest enemy. There is a growing suspicion in America that Obama has been socked into the heart of the Afghan darkness by ex-Bushie Robert Gates – once more the Secretary of Defence – and by journalist-adored General David ...
Free speech under attack in progressive California

While the state continues to flounder in an economic quagmire, unemployment creeps deeper into double digits and residents continue to pay some of the highest taxes in the country; Sacramento lawmakers think it’s time to move on to shutting up the voters in a clear attack on freedom of speech. The California experiment has failed. Lawmakers are failing their constituents. And legislators want to snag the only power a free people have – words. The mentality of the overwhelming Democratic elitists in Sacramento should be ashamed of themselves. The state Senate passed along party line SCR 58 a resolution that would hinder free speech, in particular, my free speech. Under the guise ...

It really is unfortunate that Barack Obama is black.[Hold the death threats until after I explain, please.]Due to his ethnicity, it is now impossible for anyone—white, black, or other—to openly criticize him without immediately being called a racist. Or extremist. Or neo-conservative.Or simply an American dissenter.I wish I could say that I have been lambasted by the public outrage caused by Samuel J.T. Moore’s poster depicting our president as the menacing Joker. I’d love to say I have been amazed that the NAACP and other offended parties are calling for the city to take action against Moore.But I’m not.

Ted Kennedy's Deadly Legacy For America

Teddy Kennedy died yesterday, but his legacy grows more deadly for future Americans. Instead of a rich legacy bequeathed upon the United States by forever U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy, the oft-intoxicated, blubbery fourth brother of the Kennedy clan-four decades ago--drunkenly drove over a bridge that caused the death of Mary Jo Kopechne and lied about what happened. But his worst and most destructive legacy for the United States stems from his authorship of the 1965 "Immigration Reform Act" that added the bulk of our additional 100 million people into America within 40 years. It jumped legal immigration from 170,000 annually to 1.1 million annually. Added to that disastrous ...
The Truth About Jobs That No One Wants to Tell You

Unemployment will almost certainly hit double-digits next year -- and may remain there for some time. And for every person who shows up as unemployed in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' household survey, you can bet there's another either too discouraged to look for work, or working part-time who'd rather have a full-time job or else taking home less pay than before (I'm in the last category, now that the University of California has instituted pay cuts). And there's yet another person who's more fearful that he or she will be next to lose a job. In other words, ten percent unemployment really means twenty percent underemployment or anxious employment. All of which ...
