Barely News: Sanders Supporters Shouted 'She's a Liar' at Hillary on Caucus Night

Barely News: Sanders Supporters Shouted 'She's a Liar' at Hillary on Caucus Night: Five items found at the Politico filed late Monday or early Tuesday reported that supporters of Bernie Sanders at the Iowa caucuses, while watching a live feed of Hillary Clinton's speech late Monday evening, began chanting 'She's a liar!' The chants grew until they 'took over the room,' and didn't stop until Sanders campaign officials cut off the live feed being shown. This is barely news in the rest of the establishment press, which has obsessed over the Ben Carson-Ted Cruz-CNN controversy, devoting an obviously inordinate amount of time to it and, as Cruz himself has shown, getting it wrong in the process.

Just When I Thought I Was Out,

They Pull Me Back In.

Dismissive little article by Gail S. [shrug]

Sady Doyle:

"I’ve come to believe that, in some ways, saying nice things about Hillary Clinton is a subversive act. I spent much of this year working on a long project on how women are demonized in the media. Hillary Clinton was a fairly large part of that story – she had to be; if you want to talk “women that people hate,” she’s kind of unavoidable – and I spent a while sorting through Clintoniana, dating back to the early ‘90s, to find nasty things people had said about her, or common narratives about her personality. It wasn’t pretty – the worst stuff for Hillary was way worse than I’d expected, and there was way more of it than I expected to find – but it was also illuminating, in some key ways. I got a better sense of the pressures that she has to live with, and how they’ve informed her decisions.


Hillary Clinton is the impossible woman. The pressures she lives under, every moment of her life, are so numerous and so all-encompassing that she barely has room to breathe. She doesn’t have an inch of leeway, a single safe option; there is no version of Hillary Clinton that won’t receive visceral hatred, and loud, personal criticism."

Yep.

PINK OUT EVEN THOUGH THIS POST IS APPEARING IN AMBER

Because, you know, Freedom of Reproduction.

#FreedomOfReproduction

Hillary Rodham Clinton/Bernie Sanders

Hillary/Bernie.

That's my ticket.

Blood, sweat, tears, misogyny, Hillary has paid her dues.  Bernie hasn't even had to.

She deserves the top spot;  he'll make a fine VP.

End of story.

No Surrender

Post by North Carolina NAACP.

Well, At Least The Local NJ Police Are Taking Dr. Snyderman's Quarantine Seriously.

Best coverage on the ongoing massive-yet-oddly-krypto-story of the "NBC Ebola Quarantine That Was So Voluntary It Had to Be Made Mandatory" is till coming from Planet Princeton.

Upside is that the story has finally hit one mainstream outlet, the New York Daily News, of all outlets.  Kudos to them for:  "NBC Ebola Crew Unable to Contain Itself"  and "No Soup for You."

It's A Small Small Small Small World, especially if you choose not to believe in cause and effect.

Oh, come on, Nancy.

You couldn't just say no?


"Several Planet Princeton readers have reported seeing NBC News Chief Medical Editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman in public over the past day.

Snyderman allegedly was seen sitting in her car outside of the Peasant Grill in Hopewell Boro this afternoon. A reader reported that a man who was with her got out of the car and went inside the restaurant to pick up a take-out order. Another man was in the back seat of her black Mercedes. Snyderman had sunglasses on and had her hair pulled back, the reader said."



State of New Jersey Issues Quarantine Order for Snyderman and Crew.

Forewarned is Forearmed

One feels there may be an upsurge in blogging activity all of a sudden.  Not a promise, just a mere possibility.  There's Martha Coakley to support and Scott Brown to defeat.  There's desperate people beginning to impeach Hillary Clinton before she's even a candidate for president.  B-B-B-Benghzi, Boko Haram, beheadings, bombings, human torment of every sort (as usual, alas).  There's Ray Rice KO-ing the woman he loves, then dragging her unconscious body, face-down, out of an elevator, saying, to onlookers, "She's drunk, right?  No cops."

Speaking of drunk, lest we forget, here's Scotty:

 Not so long ago, either.

Will NH beam Scotty up to the Senate?  Or will they beam Scotty up elsewhere?

Not Wanting to Waste One's Barbara Bush-esque Beautiful Mind et alia

on much more Woody, one has found an article which says pretty much what one woulda said had one spent one's time on him, so do read this here article, a fine analysis of Woody's response, his no mea culpa published in the New York Times.  Sleazy dude.

Woody or Woodn't He?

One has not blogged here for a looong time, but one fears the Woody thing may change that.  One shall see.

It's that rape culture thing, one just can't quit reviling it.  Well, one could, but why would one?

Heeeee-ere's Woody!  Oh no, wait, heeeee-ere's Woody! 

And heeeeee-re's a fun primary source.

And here's a re-cap of problems for Allen that won't be going away.

Of interest to yours truly:  that Ms Farrow, post Soon-Yi,  had been very generous in offering visitation to Mr. Allen.  Allen had already been attending therapy to address and to change his history of inappropriate behaviors toward Dylan.

During a visit on August 4th, Ms Farrow was away from home with a friend, Casey Pascal. Farrow's children were being supervised by Ms Groteke, and her friend Casey's babysitter Ms. Stickland was looking after the 3 Pascal children.

There was also a French tutor in the home.  The French tutor testified that on that day she found Dylan had had no underpants on. 

Ms. Stickland told her employer, Ms Pascal, on that day, that she had seen something that bothered her.  It was this:  having gone into a room looking for one of the children, she saw Allen kneeling down in front of Dylan, his head in Dylan's lap.


For fifteen or twenty minutes that day, Ms. Groteke, Ms. Farrow's nanny, was unable to locate either Dylan Farrow or Woody Allen.  Dylan Farrow says that she knows where they were and that she remembers very well what happened.

Allen says she's mistaken.  Well, he didn't say exactly that, but, you know, brainwashed, making it up, a thought disorder, la la la.

And this statement by Mr. Allen's experts:  “We believe that Dylan’s statements on videotape and her statements to us during our evaluation do not refer to actual events that occurred to her on August 4th, 1992.”

They heard what the little girl said.  They decided the events she spoke of weren't actual.  Okay.

This, too.

Pardon my bloggy minimalism, but you get the point.  Do you not?

Yes, exactly.

Another Important Word from Our General

Whatta concept!

Make little kids attack their adult attackers!

[Rallians who prefer to hyperfocus on drone deaths, deaths which are highly superior to all other forms of death and suffering, are invited to turn off their mirror neurons now.]

Hey, Moms & Dads & Kids! It's OK to Have Defective Mirror Neurons! Ted Rall Said So!

I dunno, I just get all turned inside out, I really get my panties in a twist when people I think of as oh you know kinda librul and kinda well-informed and kinda on the side of you know um like compassion or something, admittedly under unbearable pressure from the continual suffering of samsara (look it up; not the perfume), say stuff that just makes no f***ing sense.

I expect stuff that makes no f***ing sense from Bork and Cheney and Ryan and Bachmann, et al., I don't expect it from Ted Rall. I expect progressiveness, not faux-gressiveness, and I certainly neither expect nor want faux-gressive fascism masquerading as Uber Moral High Ground.  Silly me.

Actually, I tell a lie.  I do expect it from sha-touched cartoonist Ted Rall. I didn't used to, but now I do.

Alas.

"We Don't Have the Right to Care"? Excuse me?

Okay, right, drones trump twats, Rall's made that very clear. Yeah, it's a boy thing, missiles? Yeah, right, boy toys! Phallic stuff!

Phallic stuff counts, don't you get it? He knows which way the moral compass is pointed, and it's his guy way or the highway, because, you know, Rall.

Guess what? Drones trump massacres! Even kiddy massacres! Why?

Because Rall said so!

So, if you're out there looking to toe the line on permissible compassion, be sure to follow Rall. He'll be happy to bully you in the name of his sacred sexist nihilist dogma, because, why should he not?

In the immortal words of George III: "I desire the good, therefore all those who disagree with me are traitors."

Those With Uteri Shall Be As Ovens -- Prescient Post Published in 2012!! But Now, Post #DeathROEcult SCOTUS Six, Wombs ARE Mere OVENS

GOP Senator Rand Paul is pushing a new bill to establish Personhood For Fetuses.

Paul and his supporting cast intend to eliminate freedom of reproduction, forcing women to give birth against their will, and supporting a rapist's right to breed.  He also wants to repeal Roe v. Wade.

Lest you think this is only a right-wing problem, do recall the stance of Faux-gressives such as sha-touched cartoonist Ted Rall, who, sadly beset by the false belief that drones trump wombs, equates the struggle for reproductive rights as being on par with the fight to lengthen weekend hours at public libraries.

I'm not making this up.  I don't have to.  I never have to.

Election Day

1.  Timid centrist better than Bushist fascist.

2.   Wombs trump drones.

Faux Ryan: Photo Op for the Poors

Well, clean pots don't just wash themselves, do they?  It takes someone to make them dirty so they can be photographed making them clean.  So that that person has the appearance of compassion.  Not actual compassion.  Fake it till you make it?

Statement on Attacks

October 4, 2012 — Colleen Lachowicz

Here is a statement from our campaign in response to the personal attacks made on Colleen by the Maine Republican Party. If anyone has further questions, Ericka Dodge can be reached at 232-5892.
Ed Lachowicz
Campaign Manager, Colleen Lachowicz for State Senate
***
Waterville, ME—State Senate candidate Colleen Lachowicz released the following statement in response to an attack piece sent out by the Maine Republican Party.

Colleen Lachowicz says, “I think it’s weird that I’m being targeted for playing online games. Apparently I’m in good company since there are 183 million other Americans who also enjoy online games. What’s next? Will I be ostracized for playing Angry Birds or Words with Friends? If so, guilty as charged!”

Lachowicz added, “What’s really weird is that the Republicans are going after my hobbies instead of talking about their record while they’ve been running Augusta for the last two years. Instead of talking about what they’re doing for Maine people, they’re making fun of me for playing video games. Did you know that more people over the age of 50 play video games than under the age of 18? As a gamer, I’m in good company with folks like Jodie Foster, Vin Diesel, Mike Myers, and Robin Williams. Maybe it’s the Republican Party that is out of touch.”


According to the Entertainment Software Rating Board, here’s a break down and profile of a gamer in the United States:

• 65% of U.S. households
• 49% of 18 – 49 year olds
• 26% over the age of 50
• 25% under the age of 18
• 2 out of 5 people are female
• average age of a gamer is 34
• $24.8 billion industry

According to the Christian Science Monitor, 183 million Americans play video games.

To support Colleen, see Act Blue link, below.

GOP vs Gamer

 Well, really, they hate us for our freedoms.

But there are some freedoms we have that we shouldn't.  Like freedom of reproduction.

Or freedom to be a gamer and run for the Maine State Senate.

Support an orc, here.

Romney Tosses Notes on Podium

Why didn't he just write stuff on his hands?

Self-Appointed Heap Big Cherokee Genealogist Scott Brown Scalps Self

Well, it took me all of six minutes on Ancestry.com to find an Arkansas County marriage index a record of marriage between Harry Gunn Reed of Fayetteville, Washington, Arkansas and Bethania Elvina "Hannie" Crawford on 2 June 1893.  He was 20, and she was about 17.

Her residence was listed in this record as "Indian Territory."

Just sayin'.

Oh, this would be Elizabeth Warren's paternal grandmother, btw.

Hannie E. Crawford

Gender:	Female
Age:	17
Birth Year:	abt 1876
Residence:	Indian Territory
Spouse's Name:	Harry G Reed
Spouse's Gender:	Male
Spouse's Age:	20
Spouse's Residence:	Fayetteville, Washington, Arkansas
Marriage Date:	2 Jun 1893
Marriage License Date:	2 Jun 1893
Marriage County:	Sebastian
Event Type:	Marriage
FHL Film Number:	1034043 Then there is Hannie Crawford's father, Warren's great-grandfather, who moved from Missouri to Arkansas to Oklahoma, eventually settling down happily in Indian Territory, Cherokee Nation, Township 12, District 47.  John H. Crawford Birth: Mar. 26, 1858  Death: Jan 23, 1924  Father: Preston H.(Presley) Crawford b: 1824 in Tennessee Mother: Edith (Ede) Marsh b: 5 MAR 1826 in Bledsoe County, Tennessee  Marriage 1 Paulina Bowen b: BET 1858 AND 1860 in Missouri•Married: ABT 1874 in Missouri Children 1. Bethena Crawford b: 1875 in Missouri [Bethania Elvina "Hannie" Crawford]  2. Laura A. Crawford b: 1877 in Texas 3. Lula May Crawford b: MAY 1880 in Arkansas 4. John Walter (Walter) Crawford b: 1883 in Texas 5. Charles Houston (Charley) Crawford b: 18 JAN 1885 in Arkansas 6. Sisie Crawford b: 1888 in Arkansas 7. Eddie Crawford b: 1894 in Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, Oklahoma 8. Rosco Crawford b: 1896 in Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, Oklahoma 9. Bessie Crawford b: 1898 in Indian Territory (OK) Marriage 2 Sarah Elizabeth Smith b: 16 DEC 1860 in Laclede Co. Missouri (Bennett Springs area)• Married: 2 SEP 1904 in Laclede Co., Missouri  John H. Crawford's residence on this marriage certificate is listed as "Wetumka, Indian Territory."  Burial: Wetumka Cemetery, Wetumka, Hughes County, Oklahoma, USA. And here are other Crawford relations, who, though not running for the Senate, are apparently for political and social advantage concocting Indian ancestors [NOT].  Same lineage as Warren, fwiw. All those Crawfords who resided in Indian Territory, Cherokee Nation, Township 12, District 47, are listed on the 1900 Census as white. As is every single other resident of Indian Territory, Cherokee Nation, Township 12, District 47.  You do the math.
