Conservative Pimp James O'Keefe Still Acting The Fool

"Lusby, Maryland (CNN) -- A conservative activist known for making undercover videos plotted to embarrass a CNN correspondent by recording a meeting on hidden cameras aboard a floating "palace of pleasure" and making sexually suggestive comments, e-mails and a planning document show.

James O'Keefe, best known for hitting the community organizing group ACORN with an undercover video sting, hoped to get CNN Investigative Correspondent Abbie Boudreau onto a boat filled with sexually explicit props and then record the session, those documents show.

The plan apparently was thwarted after Boudreau was warned minutes before it was supposed to happen.

"I never intended to become part of the story," Boudreau said. "But things suddenly took a very strange turn."

O'Keefe is best known for making a series of undercover videos inside ACORN offices around the country in 2009. The 40-year-old liberal group was crippled by scandal after O'Keefe and fellow activist Hannah Giles allegedly solicited advice from ACORN workers on setting up a brothel and evading taxes…"

  I have posted about the conservative pimp James O'Keefe here in the past:

Does Breitbard look guilty or something?

Fox News hero guilty of wire taping

 

  As I have said in the past … James O'Keefe is a fool and a tool.  He is a sick little prick that like to dress up like a pimp because he knows at heart that is what he is …a fucking little prick.
  I have said he has a dirty little group funding him and directing him… they are rats hiding in the dark…shine the light on them and bring them out in the open.
  How do you find them?  One follow the money.  They are funding and directing James O'Keefe.  So follow the money. 
  The other thing is fucking sue James O'Keefe.  He will have to answer questions under oath. You can ask him who is funding you and ask him all sorts of questions that he has to answer.
  The other way to find him is from the other end.  Who was the organized group of people that set out to bring down President Clinton?  It is well known that a small group of people met to bring him down.  The report is that they decided the way to do it was to get him to lie about something under oath.  Any lie about anything under oath was their goal and they got it done.  So I say you got an OM there and those people would be so happy with their plan that they are going to keep doing dirty tricks.  Look for the same players behind James O'Keefe.

Any news on LTC Terry Lakin case?

  There was to be a court hearing on the Terry Lakin case today.  Anyone have any information on it?

  The last word I heard was that his defense team had filed a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus yesterday with the Army Court of Criminal Appeals.

"A writ of mandamus or mandamus (which means "we command" in Latin), or sometimes mandate, is the name of one of the prerogative writs in the common law, and is "issued by a superior court to compel a lower court or a government officer to perform mandatory or purely ministerial duties correctly".^[1]

Mandamus is a judicial remedy which is in the form of an order from a superior court to any government subordinate court, corporation orpublic authority to do or forbear from doing some specific act which that body is obliged under law to do or refrain from doing, as the case may be, and which is in the nature of public duty and in certain cases of a statutory duty.^[2] It cannot be issued to compel an authority to do something against statutory provision.

Mandamus may be a command to do an administrative action or not to take a particular action, and it is supplemented by legal rights. In the American legal system it must be a judicially enforceable and legally protected right before one suffering a grievance can ask for a mandamus. A person can be said to be aggrieved only when he is denied a legal right by someone who has a legal duty to do something and abstains from doing it…"   Wikipedia

President says Fox News is 'destructive' to America

(CNN) - "President Obama is pulling no punches when it comes to Fox News, declaring the cable news outlet to be "destructive to [America's] long-term growth."

In a more than 8,000-word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama compared the cable news channel to papers owned by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the 20th century that unabashedly pushed the media titan's own political views.

"You had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition – it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view," Obama told the magazine…"

 

  I agree with President Obama.  I am not sure it does him any good to say it but I think he needs to tell the truth and not pull any punches.
  But we know what Fox "news" is and those that support Fox are not going to change their (small) minds.  In fact they are so crazy they will now expect the President to send black storm troops into the Fox "news" room and take over the network.  They are that stupid and crazy.

  In fact if I were President Obama after I was re-elected I would not allow Fox "news" a seat at the white house press room.  I bet the other networks would support Fox "news" and object on the lines of "freedom of press" and "freedom of speech" and if I were the president I would then just close the White House news room until the networks kissed my black ass.

Scattershot Fox Interview

  I do not hate Republicans.  But I do hate people like this Fox News interviewer.  His sort of person is just the sort of person I hate.

                                                     The poster of this video calls it "scattershot."  My guess is because the Fox Interviewer is asking wild random and indiscriminate questions.  He has no interest in the answer or trying to get the other persons point of view or discuss the issues.
  He has decided that he will gain points by saying it is not fair for taxes to take 50% of what a person makes over $250K a year.  Of course taxes do NOT take 50% and many rich people pay little to nothing in taxes. Even if they are paying taxes the tax rate in no way near 50%.  (Back in the good old days that the Tea Baggers and the Republicans say they want to return to the tax rate was 90%.) 
  This piece of crap interviewer also make it clear that he thinks that someone making millions works harder than the working poor.  That is a fucking lie.  I have seen the working poor standing at a bus stop in below zero weather waiting for a bus to go to work at 4 or 5 AM.  I have seen the working poor coming home after working 8, 10 or 12 hours and seen them dirty, tired and beat down by working in a job where they can not get ahead or even keep their heads above water.
  They did not go to work in a limo with a driver.  They did not take 2 hours for lunch at a club.  They did not watch TV in their office and have drinks in their office.  They did not try and get their dick in one of the girls working in their office.
  The back bone of this nation is the working man and woman. 

  (The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers & Helpers is my old union.  I was a member for years.  My father and mother were both members of the union.)

Rich get richer and the poor get poorer

  The census numbers show that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.  The top 20% of Americans (those making more than $100K a year) received 49.4% of income generated in the United States.
  Americans below the poverty level earned 3.4 percent.
  That is a ratio of 14.5 to 1 and is increasing (up from 13.6 in 2008).

  In the United States the poverty level for a single person under 65 was $11,161.00 a year and for a family of four it is set at $21,756.00 a year.
  Those are numbers for 2009.

 
  I am over 65 years of age and I get $15,960.00 a year.  The poverty level set for a person over 65 years of age is 10,289.00 for some reason. 
  No matter how you look at it I am not classed as below the poverty level. 
 
  Let me tell you that I feel poor.  I feel very poor.  It is hard for me to make it on $16K a year.  I do not own a car.  I pay rent of $475.00 a month.   I also pay $100.00 a month for Medicare health insurance. 
  Now how a person under 65 years of age can live on $11K a year I have no idea. 

   I think we have some big problems here in the United States.  Republican greed is the cause of many of the problems.  But Democrats are not helping.  They do not seem willing to look at new ways to fix the problems.  The old ways are not working.  We need some new ideas. 

My new camera

  I took a few photos yesterday with my new camera.  My camera is a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55.  Here are two of those photos.  Now the photos were taken with the camera in "Intelligent Auto" mode.  The camera studies the view before you take the photo and decides on the correct settings.
  The photo below was taken in number 26 bus.  I was in the back of the bus.
  The photo of the flowers I just walked up close to the flower.  I did not use a micro mode and I did not zoom.  I did crop the flower photo.  I wanted to see what sort of detail I would get.

  When I get time I will play with the zoom on the camera.  The more I use the camera the more I like it.
  I guess to be fair I should post the flower photo before I did the crop. So here it is.

I am Ultra Man

  Jimmy and I went to BestBuy yesterday.  We had a bad battery to return.  Surprise surprise they refunded the money for the battery.  I had a problem years ago in KC returning something to a BestBuy store.  I knew other people that had problems.  This time no problem.
  We went to the mall and I got some sandals.  I had a problem finding sandals that my feet would fit in.  My feet are swollen.  I found a pair at Sears.

  Jimmy is a big believer in dietary supplements.  He got two bottles of Ultra Man Daily Multi dietary supplement (180 caplets in a bottle). I was wondering why he got two bottles.  When we got home he gave me one of the bottles and wants me to try it.  It says to take two a day but I am going to take one a day for awhile and see if I feel any better.

  
 

Gloria Stuart dead at 100 years of age

" When James Cameron’s box-office phenomenon, Titanic, came out in late 1997, there were plenty of juicy subplots to savor: the rise of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as worldwide box office stars, the film’s 11 Oscar wins, its meteoric rocket-shot to the the highest-grossing film of all time. But perhaps the sweetest story was the unlikely comeback of 88-year-old actress Gloria Stuart — a Depression-era starlet who returned to the silver screen as the elderly incarnation of Winslet’s Rose Calvert, whose reminiscences of the ill-fated voyage bookend the Oscar-winning film. Stuart, who passed away at her West Los Angeles home yesterday at age 100, earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her sentimental (and long-delayed) return performance. But even if she never had her late-in-life Titanic triumph, her career would be well worth remembering…"     PopWatch

Teen inspired by Dexter to kill his brother

  I posted a posting here when Dexter first came on the air.  I said I did not like the show and did not think it should be on the air and that someone would think Dexter was a hero and want to be like him.

          ""…inspried by the serial killer…he wanted to like the serial killer in the TV show 'Dexter'…"

  Now we do not want censorship by the government but I do think the ShowTime and other networks should have standards other than making a profit.  But the only way they will not show crap like this is if good decent people do not watch it. 
  I should note that I have family members that love this show.  I am not one of them.
