[THEBLAZE] Actress Gwyneth Paltrow lavished praise on President Barack Obama I am not a dictator!... Thursday night during a Democratic National Committee fundraiser that took place at her Los Angeles home.
Speaking at the event, which had tickets starting at a minimum of $1,000 for the reception and $15,000 for the dinner, Paltrow introduced the president by saying, I am one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest.
The famous actress, joined by her children, continued to shower Obama with compliments.
According to the White House pool report, she said: It would be wonderful if we were able to give this man all of the power that he needs to pass the things that he needs to pass.

OOOOOOOOOO, you just know FLOTUS Michelle is going to order the Bammer to change seats again.

The most righteous on-line rant aimed at this stupid, sycophantic tw*t that I have seen was by commenter Drumwaster at Protein Wisdom. It was so good I put it on my own website, in all it's glory.
A taste - You are an example of everything that is wrong with Hollywood and none of which is right with this country. You are the spoiled brat scion of worthless parents who brought you up to believe that Fame = Wisdom, and have surrounded yourself with people who believe the same thing. That is no way to go through life, dearie.

Paltrow? Do you really want to live in perpetual dread of the midnight knock on the door that means the Secret Police have been informed of an unfortunate slip of the tongue you made? Hello?

Korora, Jack S has the correct view of this. Paltrow is an evil, entitled bitch who "knows" she'll be on the good side of her preferred dictator so she doesn't have to worry about the Secret Police.
SHE's not one of the churls that has to be kept in line.

Her mom was pretty cute, but she was a bit of a lefty, too.

Can anyone remember when the club system was much more wide open and a Friday night comment like this was understood to be an invite to the nearest coat closet for a quickie? Shameless, clueless and classless, and sadly, she doesn't have the intellectual, social or moral compass to know it.

And they wonder why we're not watching their movies anymore.

As I've said before, why do we give a sh!t what these Hollywood types say? The main differences between them and the rest of the population is that they are better looking, richer, and good at pretending to be someone else. It's pretty obvious they aren't any smarter.

Many regular, hard-working people don't have time for such. Unfortunately, there are a fair number of people in our society who go ga-ga nuts over celebs, sports stars, and a dipwad empty-suited and empty-headed Prez. Many are as vapid as those whom they worship.
[FOXNEWS] The U.S. Army War College revoked Democratic Sen. John Walsh's master's degree after an investigation completed Friday concluded he plagiarized a research paper required to graduate, a college spokeswoman said.
The Carlisle, Pennsylvania, college assigned an academic review board to the probe in August after The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... published a story showing Walsh borrowed heavily from other sources for the paper he wrote in 2007.
Walsh was pursuing a Master of Strategic Studies degree at age 47, a year before he became Montana's adjutant general overseeing the state National Guard.
The board took less than a day to hear the case and make its findings Aug. 22, but the process of appeal and review wasn't completed until Friday.
"The board found that then Colonel John Walsh did commit the offense of plagiarism and thus his Master's Degree and status as graduate of the U.S. Army War College should be revoked," War College spokeswoman Carol Kerr said in a statement.

But, but, but all those forms he signed indicated the work submitted was..... all his own? Potential DEROG (derogatory information/false statements) submitted to the Central Clearance Facility (CCF) and subsequent impact on Security Clearance periodic re-investigations? And his officer Officer Record Brief (ORB), will it be corrected via an 'Army Board For Correction of Military Records' (ABCMR)? And, and, and subsequent promotions based on MILED (military education)? Are promotion board results to be invalidated? What about military pay/military retirement pay based on promotion to the grade of whatever?
Department of the Army General Officer Management Office (GOMO)..... crickets, just crickets ?
#3
Shades of SGT Bowe Bergdahl. Don't fok'n tell me an AR 15-6 investigation wasn't initiated immediately upon 'serious incident' initial reporting and disclosure. The senior leadership [and I use the term loosely] is complicit.
Walsh is not only guilty of plagiarism, but of being lazy, arrogant, and stupid as well.
Only his KGB detailer, who made the mistake of opening them up just as he took a sip of vodka. So they got sprayed while the agent laughed. So they're pretty much ruined.
#8
So who actually handles the 15-6, if there was one. Would it be the National Guard? He sounds like a guard officer. So I think OMB might not have the ball on this one.

Commandant of the War College would be my guess. It happened on his or his predecessor's watch and their installation. The results and academic credential revocation, and any other recommendations would be forwarded to his [Walsh's] chain of command for action.
#14
True Besoeker. After the revocation of the diploma someone has to go after him and I think it is the TAG's and National Guards lane from there. Reduce him to last honorable rank and cut his 30 year letter up.

[CNSNEWS] Speaking in a video message to residents of West African countries currently experiencing outbreaks of Ebola, President Barack Obama dispensed advice on how residents can avoid the disease, including:"You cannot get it through casual contact like sitting next to someone on a bus."
At the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is advising Americans who travel to the Ebola-stricken nations to "avoid public transportation."

Obama channeling Rosa Parks. Can he really bring her back for comment ?

Quaint little town with a lovely flower festival. Drug needles lying about and curb urination/defecation within the city limits was frowned upon for good reason. Bad for public health, tourism, and money making as you might expect. The helpful sign is long gone however.
#3
Obama is acting recklessly making these apodictic statements about probabilistic events when the probabilities aren't really known.
Some serious pathogens, like HIV can't spread through casual contact. Others, like aggressive flu can.
From what we know Ebola lies somewhere in between these extremes. Ebola is classified as a pathogen requiring Biosafety Level 4-equivalent containment for a good reason.
Prior to 2014 all Ebola flareups started and ended in tropical, rural third world central and eastern Africa.
The dynamics, mechanisms and associated probabilities of an Ebola outbreak in temperate, urban, industrial first world regions are unknown because it has never happened and hopefully never will happen.

Liberian taxis are dirty (and usually mechanically unsound) but they are the only public transportation there. That makes them a vector for transmitting disease. Liberia is hot, everybody sweats; and if somebody gets sick in a taxi it is really really hard to clean up because people don't have a lot of cleaning supplies available, and there isn't much room in a taxi to store them. No comfy Checker cabs these; they're minivans and pickups with benches installed to squeeze as many people and as much luggage as possible.
US public transportation has air conditioning, so that reduces the risk from sweat. During rush hour, people may be packed in close enough to be at risk from sweat; although we usually manage to establish at least an inch or two of personal space (at least I did, when riding the Chicago El years ago; but I was short and skinny then).
#8
Still can't make sense out of this CDC recommendation:
"CDC urges all US residents to avoid nonessential travel to Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone because of unprecedented outbreaks of Ebola in those countries."
But no urgings to avoid nonessential travel from Liberia, Guinea or Sierra Leone to the US?
"Before your trip check your health insurance plan and benefits to learn what is covered in the event that you become ill. CDC recommends that anyone traveling to countries where outbreaks of Ebola are occurring have full coverage, including coverage for emergency medical evacuation."
Oct 11 (Reuters) - Leading companies offering medical evacuation services are balking at flying Ebola patients out of West Africa for treatment abroad as the cost and the complexities of the deadly epidemic grow.
Several airlines have cut flights to the region and there are reports of countries not allowing air ambulances to make refueling stops, further complicating the so-called medevac option many companies provide for staffers in risky regions.
[POLITICO] Texas state Sen. Wendy Davisâ latest television ad directly references gubernatorial rival Greg Abbottâs partial paralysis â including the image of an empty wheelchair â to charge the Republican with hypocrisy.
The spot says Abbott filed a lawsuit following the accident that led to his paralysis, but then worked to limit liability to other accident victims. The Abbott campaign calls the ad a âhistoric low.â

Dammit Frank! Stop insulting WhOres like that.
At least with a whOre you A) expect to get fuc*ed, and B) expect to enjoy being fuc*ed. Not so with Abortion Barbie.
Abortion Barbie fits her to a tee. Perhaps they should start a pool about how many of her own unborn babies she murdered for convenience.
#6
In a perfect world Abbott would win and the day after the election run an ad thanking Wendy for a great race with ad featuring a picture of an aborted baby.
#10
You know whats most alarming? Think about the layers of people this had to go through to get approved as a concept, created, then approved to air. Also consider that other Dem candidates and pols funded this. And none of them of note has condemned it.
That speaks volumes about the abortion-crazed blindness of the Dem party, and the fascistic "progressives" who control the Democrat party these days.
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Denver Post editorial board endorsed Cory Gardner for Senate, a switch from its stance six years ago.
In the Friday endorsement, the newspaper wrote that Gardner, a Republican, can offer "fresh leadership, energy and ideas" to a dysfunctional Congress.
Gardner is in a tight race with Democratic incumbent Mark Udall, who has been in office since 2009 and was endorsed by the Denver Post during his 2008 Senate campaign.
But the paper took issue with Udall's current campaign, which has focused heavily on Gardner's support for personhood legislation that would restrict abortion.
"Udall is trying to frighten voters rather than inspire them with a hopeful vision. His obnoxious one-issue campaign is an insult to those he seeks to convince," the editorial board said.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
