[SeeBS] WASHINGTON -- Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, told a federal court on Friday that he never sexually harassed one of his staffers.
In the document filed Friday, Farenthold acknowledged having disclosed in a staff meeting that he had been propositioned for a "threesome." But the congressman took issue with the detail that it involved a lobbyist and the suggestion was made for "an improper or lascivious purpose." Strange, very strange. He simply doesn't look the type. I always went to Rudy's for my sandwiches.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Although police haven't determined yet whether three Moslems in North Carolina were murdered in a parking dispute or because of their religion, President B.O. suggested Friday that they were victims of a hate crime. From what I've heard. it was a crime not a hate crime. The guy was a nut and he had a grouch on about all religions.This might be another teachable moment, but to me it's just another indication he's on the other side.
"No one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship," Mr. Obama said, ...true that, though I do wonder if he'd say the same thing if the victims were three Baptists... Or if the murder was the other way around.
saying he and first lady Michelle Obama were offering condolences to the victims' families.
The three victims, Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, of Raleigh, were shot to death Tuesday at an apartment building in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in what police say was an apparently long-simmering dispute over a parking space. Police are also investigating whether religious hatred was a factor in the shootings. But, but, but there were other people in that Deli looking for car parks besides Mooslims.

Interference in the prosecution by the POTUS? The defense has to be thanking Obama.

Nearly all murder is a hate crime... I hate where you parked, I hate who you are dating now, I hate that you do not like me anymore, I hate the way you look or what you said, I hate what you did to me or someone I love.....

Never let a crisis go to waste, or the opportunity to make one up.

This is the same guy who said the choice of an Orthodox Jewish supermarket in France was "random", despite the jihadist actually telling the press the choice was deliberate.

I see the pot smoker...President Choom...is also the pot stirrer.
The guy who went into the Jewish deli in Paris and shot up the place and took hostages was a "random shooting" but a road side dispute over a parking place in which three innocent people, Moslem by faith, are shot is a targeted shooting?
Oh Lordy, I have to go get some Kleenex, I am getting a nose bleed again.

[WASHINGTONPOST] Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown (D) will become the first openly bisexual governor in U.S. history when Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) resigns Wednesday. And that's really, really important. For some reason.
An open LGBT governor has never been elected, although New Jersey did have an openly gay governor briefly in 2004, after Gov. Jim McGreevey (D) came out as gay and admitted an affair with a man he had appointed to a key job. He resigned three months later. Had he been porking a woman he'd appointed to a key job things would have been different unless he quibbled over the meaning of "is."
Brown is married to husband Dan Little; she has publicly discussed her bisexuality in past campaigns. Wow. That's really interesting. Being stodgy and old-fashioned, I only have intimate relations with my wife, and that not very often anymore. Thanks for stopping, Dan, you're a dear. Don't forget the milk, bread, and batteries.
She is already arguably the highest-ranking bisexual elected official in America; Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) became the first bisexual member of Congress in 2013. There are about 525 openly LGBT public officials in office at all levels of government, according to the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund. Most of them are Democrats, said interim executive director Denis Dison, and only about 20 are Republicans. We guessed that. One of these days the grown-ups in this country will slap these bozeaux down. As far as I can recall--it's been awhile; we're going to have to try it again sometime--having "intimate relations" involves taking your pants off and anywhere from 30 seconds to an hour or so, usually about twenty minutes. Surely what a person does in the other 23 hours and 40 minutes of the day is more important? Or is importance added by the fact that it's gotten pretty common not to do it in private anymore?

@#2: Nah, only homosexual men are allowed to be fabulous. Double swing-door females get to be condescending. Not all, fortunately, take up this banner.
If the world does not bore me with their sexual preferences, I'll be happy to reciprocate in kind.

Speaking of hemaphrodites , I was reminded of a Jimmy Duranty joke when I was a kid.
I was walking through the park one day when I looked and saw a little woim sticking out of the ground. He saw another little woim nearby, and said to the other little woim, "You're cute I want to marry you." And the other little woim looked at him and said, "Don't be a dope! I'm your other end!"

[REALCLEARPOLITICS] Following in the footsteps of their counterparts in Syria and Libya, western diplomats in Yemen fled from their posts ahead of a new revolutionary government, leaving behind supplies, weapons, vehicles and cash.
MATT LEE, ASSOCIATED PRESS: Jen, more broadly on Yemen, this is the third embassy that you guys have had to uncharitably, perhaps, say, abandon in an Arab Spring country since the first one, which was Syria. Is there a broader concern that you're being ‐ the U.S. is being run out of town in the Arab world?
JEN PSAKI, STATE DEPARTMENT: We certainly don't look at it in that way.

Jen Psaki - go back to the 80s valley malls where you belong.

I will be so happy when the professional prevaricators leave; Rear Admiral John Kirby, Maria Harf, Josh Ernest, and Jen Psaki. Jeebus, they put Baghdad Bob to shame.

One recalls the older Army tactical field manual - Infantry Company in Retrograde movements. Implication being that retreat is the wrong word choice because 'we shall return'. Perhaps but we will have to beg the Iranians for access since they are in charge.
[WEEKLYSTANDARD] "The FCC has now rolled out its initial plan, it's 332 pages. Although when I say rolled out, that word has to be used lightly, because you and I are not allowed to read those 332 pages. They literally have a book, this is how we are going to regulate the internet, and by the way, no one gets to read it. One FCC commissioner held up the book and said 'I guess you got to pass it to find out what's in it,' echoing Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... ," Cruz says in a statement.
"If the FCC turns the Internet into a regulated public utility, the innovation, the creativity that has characterized the Internet from its dawn, will inevitably be stifled. Now Title II by the way, gives all sorts of authority to regulate pricing and terms of service, and one of the implications if the Internet is regulated under Title II is 11 billion dollars a year in new taxes... Think about whether 11 billion dollars a year on the Internet is a good thing or a bad thing. If you like your internet provider, you can keep your internet provider.
"Now here's where the FCC says, 'no don't worry, we won't collect those taxes, we're going to exercise forbearance,' I don't know if you've heard the ancient fable about the frog who gives the scorpion a ride across the river, and half way across the river the scorpion stabs the frog and they both sink under the water and as they're going under, the frog says, 'why, now we both will die', and the scorpion tells the frog, 'because it is my nature.' I promise you, it is the nature of the government regulators, if they have it, they will use it, 100 percent of the time, it will grow, the taxes will come.

[REALCLEARPOLITICS] They dont have to be turned into molten glass, but they do have to be destroyed. The only way to do that is to make all the would-be jihadi heroes afraid to put on the face mask and wave the flag. The ones already do it need to be exterminated, not "controlled."

I second the glass. Desert sands should make pretty glass.

You know, we managed to defeat Nazi Germany without turning France into a glass parking lot or turning everyone in Denmark into lampshades. And the Germans had an industrial base.
#7
we managed to defeat Nazi Germany without... and when leftover Nazis assassinated some of our troops after VE day, we mobilized 100,000 or so odd troops of our own to go door to door and confiscate weaponry. That couldn't have happened in Iraq in 2003 - 2004.

Anguper: that wouldn't have been a good strategy in Iraq anyway. The predecessor group to ISIS was armed by the Syrian government. Given that ISIS spends most of its time fighting the Other Syrian Rebels, Iraqi Sunnis, and Kurds, it _probably_ gets support from the Syrians too. I think the relevant Star Trek episode is "A Private Little War."
Grayson was one of the dipshits who helped make ISIS strong by refusing to acknowledge that most of the violence in Iraq was because of Syria and Iran trying to start an Iraqi civil war along religious lines. Thanks to people like him and Presnident Zero, Affirmative Action Example Extroardinaire, they've now succeeded. As far as I'm concerned, he should shut the fuck up until the end of goddamn time.
