Skip to comments.Judge rules Virginias ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional
Posted on 02/13/2014 8:14:49 PM PST by cutofyourjib
NORFOLK, Va. (WTVR) A federal judge declared late Thursday night that Virginias ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, confirmed Michael Kelly, Director of Communications for Attorney General Mark Herring.
The update was first made on Herrings Facebook page and his Twitter account.
MT @AGMarkHerring: *ALERT* Federal judge declares state's same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional. Issues stay pending appeal. Mark Herring (@MarkHerringVA) February 14, 2014
Equality in Virginia took a big step forward tonight as a federal district judge declared Virginias ban on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional, Herring wrote.
The judge issued a stay with her injunction pending appeal, meaning marriage licenses will not yet be issued to same-sex couples, but today is a great day for those who want to see all Virginians treated equally regardless of who they love.
That ruling can be read in full here: http://legaltimes.typepad.com/files/edva-ssm-opinion.pdf
A lawsuit challenging the commonwealths ban on same-sex marriage went before U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen on February 4, in Norfolk.
The case of Bostic vs. Rainey argued that the Virginia Marriage Amendment, passed in 2006 by 57 percent of voters, is unconstitutional.
Tim Bostic and Tony London are the Norfolk couple who applied for a marriage license last year and were denied.
Since then they have gain the support of Virginias top brass behind them. State Attorney General Mark Herring and Governor Terry McAuliffe, both Democrats, have said they wont defend the states constitutional ban.
Herrings office issued a statement a couple of weeks ago saying they hope it will be a landmark ruling in Virginia on one of the most important civil rights issues of our time.
An excerpt from the judges conclusion reads:
The Court is compelled to conclude that Virginias Marriage Laws unconstitutionally deny Virginias gay and lesbian citizens the fundamental freedom to choose to marry.
Government interests in perpetuating traditions, shielding state matters from federal interference, and favoring one model of parenting over others must yield to this countrys cherished protections that ensure the exercise of the private choices of the individual citizen regarding love and family.
Organizations that have worked towards marriage equality in the Commonwealth for years, like Equality Virginia, said that the ruling is historic.
The ruling finally puts Virginia on the path toward allowing lesbian and gay couples to marry the person they love here in the place they call home, James Parish, executive director for Equality Virginia said.
Our representative government is no more.
No, the dominos are falling thanks to the SCOTUS.
Why bother with having a state legislature? Just dissolve them and let Federal Judges rule the states.
It'll stop, but not before it gets worse. The "wax(ing) worse and worse" bit is a sign of far better things to come, take note.
Well, it won't be appealed by the sodomite governor or AG.
Get a judge, negate a vote...we are definitely NOT a representative republic...
Pack it up and go home....but where?
Not when every such judge is an Obama appointee. He could get this in all 50 states if he wanted.
I have to say this and it pains me to, but if this is forced upon the states by the courts, I will declare our rights dead and a new era of dictatorship in effect. I won't remain in a dictatorship. I'll have to carefully fold my flag and constitution, and make travel plans to Armenia.
Unless there is an indication that in an impending cataclysm, we can seize power at least in the red states and outlaw liberalism and arrest these judges pending public trials for sedition.
"countrys cherished protections that ensure the exercise of the private choices of the individual citizen regarding love"
Love is not mentioned in the Constitution once, like abortion. This is just made up.
At this point we may as well have the SCOTUS declare the constitution is unconstitutional. As far as the courts are concerned the constitution is worse than toilet paper.
I get so sick of these Judges, I WISH that a Federal judge would try this in a state where the Governor (and the Leg) actually have b*lls to stand up and tell the Judge NO (It our Constitution; and you CANNOT OVERRULE IT)!
Unelected Judges are a big part of the failure of Federalism.
Thanks to Kennedy, the weakest link to real constitutional justice.
When the bloody revolution begins, I hope to see his corpse swinging next to Holder's. I'll even kick out the bench.
MARK LEVIN: Its time for our state legislatures to act, to stop this tyranny
THIS is why Indiana is trying to put in in our State Constitution.
The law is already there, just needing affirmation of the voters.
From the comment sections of the news media websites in the state, you'd think that Hoosiers are 90% gay. They are scared sh!tless about this one getting to the voters.
One can hope...
What is all this "equal treatment" nonsense? Any man is free to marry any woman that will have him, and vice versa. I fail to see the discrimination. To say people should be able to marry whomever they love changes the definition of marriage and is silly.
Virginians put Democrats in control so this is what they get! Shame on them for neglecting centuries of sound policy.
> Why bother with having a state legislature? Just dissolve them and let Federal Judges rule the states.
They'd love that. Don't give them any ideas...
Language is unconstitutional. It's unconstitutional to recognize that only a man can be a husband and only a woman can be a wife.
Stupidity sits in high office and issues rulings the rest must obey.
Most of the material below is from the Kentucky thread. If the DOMA information in it is correct, then these judges have the wires crossed somewhere. Either that or they are deliberately wrongly legislating pro-gay rights from the bench.
First, as indicated in the Kentucky post below, the states have never amended the Constitution to protect so-called gay rights. So the states are actually free to make laws which discriminate against gay "rights" as long as such laws don't also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated protections.
From the Kentucky thread:
Under Congress's constitutional Article IV, Section 1 authority which allows Congress to legislatively determine the extent to which one state has to respect the records of another state, the significant DOMA provision which still stands is Section 2 below.
This Act may be cited as the "Defense of Marriage Act".
No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship.
In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word 'marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.
Note that Section 3 above is what the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional. And I agree with the Supreme Court because the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate marriage. Only the states can regulate marriage. And only the states can amend the Constitution to define marriage. The problem is that the states, including low-information state lawmakers, have been asleep at the wheel concerning such issues.
Also, probably the main reason that patriots tremble in their boots when activist judges rule in favor of the pro-gay movement is the following imo. Low information-patriots evidently do not understand that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay marriage which this judge seems to be ignoring. So the states can actually make laws which distriminate against things like gay marriage, imo, as long as such laws don't also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
Virginia's ban was in their state Constitution.
Well, that's no more far fetched than the suggestion that two men can be husband and wife as well as two women, which is just what this court has ruled - the meaning of words is "unconstitutional". A court up in Maine just ruled it was unconstitutional to have gendered restrooms - men must be allowed to have access to go to the women's restroom if they so choose to do so, and women likewise must be allowed access to the men's restroom if they so choose. It's mindless stupidity.
Democrfips now run Virginia. Virginians are getting what they deserve, government promoting immorality, government removing constitutional rights, government serving globalist masters with a globalist agenda. Virginai was once a great state. Gradually, fascist progressives have pushed it down into the socialist sh!tter.
Section 15-A. Marriage.
That only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its political subdivisions. This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage. Nor shall this Commonwealth or its political subdivisions create or recognize another union, partnership, or other legal status to which is assigned the rights, benefits, obligations, qualities, or effects of marriage.
The amendment ratified November 7, 2006, and effective January 1, 2007Added a new section (15-A).
1) No gay or lesbian is denied the freedom to marry, i.e. enter into a committed and exclusive union with a person of the opposite sex. Unions between those of the same sex are not marriage!
2) The Constitutions says nothing about marriage.
Mutual masturbation is not equal to procreation.
Notice the abuse of language. Marriage has always been between man and woman. How can homosexuals claim the law is not being applied equally? Have men & women been prevented from marrying?
What homosexuals want is to change the meaning of the word. They then claim that, under this modified meaning, they are being excluded.
If the meaning of words must be changed it is proof of a lie.
If the meaning of words can be altered then there are no limits. Why stop at marriage, why not include other words? If the meaning of words can be altered then there are no limits, lies become truth and truth becomes a lie.
Altering the meaning of words is how the left re-frames an issue to advance their agenda. Dont let them get away with it.
Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee Introduce State Marriage Defense Act
"Government interests in perpetuating traditions, shielding state matters from federal interference, and favoring one model of parenting over others must yield to this country's cherished protections that ensure the exercise of the private choices of the individual citizen regarding love and family."
U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen
Time for the states to refuse to comply to such contemptible, unholy rulings.
It is part of California's constitution, but the court ruled our constitution to be unconstitutional.
These people do not want equality - they claim they have the extraordinary right to modify the meaning of words.
The U. S. Senate voted unanimously on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 to confirm Arenda L. Wright Allen 85 of Norfolk, Virginia to serve as a U.S. District Judge for the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia.
Nominated to the bench by President Barack Obama late last year, Wright Allens appointment makes her the first African American female judge to serve in that district. Prior to this appointment, Wright Allen served as a federal Public Defender in Norfolk and served as an Assistant United States Attorney.
Virginia Senators Jim Webb and Mark R. Warner recommended Wright Allen to the post.
Satan rules this world.
It figures
Virginia wants to comply.
Go Indiana! This is the only time I will root for your state since it got rid of Bobby Knight, your ambassador of good will.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
57% voted to amend the Constitution of Virginia in 2006.
"That only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its political subdivisions. ..."
The elected officials do not want to comply.
then don't comply
No thanks to all who did not vote in 2012. Obama can keep appointing more liberal judges in his 2nd term. Elections have consequences. No point is grumbling if you did not help defeat Obama.
Marriage was ruled an implied Constitutional right in Loving vs Virginia (striking down laws against interracial marriage). Today the judge is only following the logic of the two ridiculous Supreme Court rulings this summer which basically declared homosexuals to be a suspect class. This is all the doing of Justice Kennedy. Just think of what would have happened if Reagan did not back down and nominated another conservative after Bork was unjustly rejected. We would have a totally different nation today.
height of hypocrisy to say "unconstitutional" as a means of expediency. the constitution is silent on the issue at best while being clear about separation of powers, respecting the votes of the people, etc. 30 state constitutions and all duly voted on disenfranchised
Another thought, what are these tyrants doing issuing these orders late in the evening?
It's eerily similar to Jesus' trial.
Screw off Herring and do your job for once.
The world is demanding you profess a lie of they choice is truth..2+2=5.. To me gay is as irrelevant some wanting to say 2+2=5..its no skin off my nose but it still an untruth.... But that the point to make you say a lie to believe a lie so self evidently untrue..its to break you to follow whatever truth of the moment they need...and that the danger
Not until Thomas Jefferson is dancing the cha cha in his grave.

Skip to comments.Mel Gibson's Career Seems Over
Posted on 07/11/2010 9:27:31 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Mel Gibson seemed to weather the media firestorm that followed his drunk-driving arrest and anti-Semitic rant in 2006.
A handful of Hollywood types called for a boycott, but Gibsons apology tour somewhat smoothed things over. But the latest example of the actors bigotrytapes of him threatening his girlfriend with awful racist and sexist tauntsis surely the final nail in the coffin. Gibsons been dropped by his agency, William Morris Endeavor, just after his longtime agent Ed Limato died.
He hasnt been a bankable star much recently, even though peers like Bruce Willis still nab action roles. Gibson may be able to make movies under his Icon production banner, but who would consider working with Gibson worth the risk to his or her reputation? Though he may have an international audience left, and could make a movie exclusively for another continent, who in North America would bankroll it?
Too bad that he has turned out to be such a freak. I loved him in "Braveheart" and when he produced "The Passion of the Christ" I assumed he was a decent guy.
They aren't making a Passion of the Christ II?
Getting involved with a Russian goldigger wasn't going to end well!
Why does he need a career? He's a zillionaire.
The Passion of Christ made him a target, too, in Satan's eyes — and others'. Not to excuse him; he's making some really terrible decisions these days.
The Passion of Christ made him a target, too, in Satan's eyes — and others'. Not to excuse him; he's making some really terrible decisions these days.
What a goofy, convoluted sentence. What's with the "much"? What does peers landing action roles have to do with Gibson's bank-ability?
Hey, we were thinking on the exact same lines ... :)
I missed his rant, and have only been reading about the fallout. Did he say something that was not true? Did he get angry in public? I'm one of those people who never says things he doesn't mean, but I believe most people say things they don't mean all the time. I've witnessed it - a lot.
I don't mean to be cutting him slack, but I don't know what he said or, more importantly, under what circumstances. Nor do I know what his follow up response was. I'd rather not cast the first stone...
So why is this guy different from Roman Polanski? Rape is no big deal to Hollywood, but this... Well this is a big deal.
All I can say is most of us are lucky we're not public figures.
Here's a little Poem by Emily Dickinson dedicated to all of us who are nobody's...
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
So what??????????? BUT Black actors can say anything they want and not get called on it! Enough of this.
They called him MAD MAX for a reason.
It was a particularly cruel rant - calling his girlfriend all sorts of things. Sounded like he was very inibriated (not to give him an excuse). Google Mel Gibson Rant and I'm sure you can find it. However, listen with caution.
Like some earlier posters who mentioned Satan getting to him for making "The Passion of the Christ", I tend to agree, and alcohol seems to be the vehicle of choice for the torment.
No matter the cause, Gibson still needs to account for his actions in some way. Too bad really.
it seems he had a decent start....but like most, he became 'Hollywooded'...that and....
Well you know son you just can't figure,
first thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger
and it's no wonder your reason goes bad -
jelly roll will drive you so mad
Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter
Mel committed the greatest sin known to man, he used the "N" word.
She taped his phone call.It was pretty raw.
Getting caught on tape using the n-word (and in the context of gang rape) will kill a career, real fast.
Give me his money and I npromise I won't bother anyone, any more.
"He's got to do something to make living worthwhile. He just has the URGE to do something."
And he's doing something — not necessarily good things.
Maybe he should get into collecting stamps or something. Would certainly cause him less trouble.
This isn't rape ...
If Alec Baldwin leaves messages like this for his 12 year old daughter, I wonder how he sounds when he his breaking up with a nasty (grownup) Hollywood girlfriend.
Thou shalt not take the PC's Lord's name in vain!
>His response — Ennui and Boredom..
The fact that he knows the term "Ennui" at all is a tribute.
I would wager that at least 95% of Americans wouldn't have a clue...
But see, Alec didn't use the N-Word like Mel did, that's why Alec still gets work in Hollywood.
Alot of wisdom in some of those old 'dead' tunes.
It seems to me after his affair became public..He became unbalanced. In spite of he and his wife's problems, she seemed to keep him in some kind of check.
When he lost Robyn he became undone.
my opinion anyway.
Gibson's kinda been on Hollywood's hit list ever since the "Passion" came out. Other celebrities get away with things just as bad or worse on a daily basis and the industry covers for them. Whatever, he has enough cash to finance his own projects if he wants to.
The Passion had nothing to do with the Bible, it was an almost verbatim copy of Anne Cathering Emerich's book.
It wasn't scriptural at all, it was Emerich's book entirely
Martin Riggs had a N word partner he can't be a racist
What an idiotic self aggrandizing piece of garbage-—Gibson can self finance and has no need of the W morris agcy. or anyone else.
Ari Emmanuel as a genocide promoter (canceled J-LO concert) has lots more worries than Gibson.
Maybe he wasn't acting in those "Mad" Max or Lethal Weapon movies.
As for financing, I don't think he needs anyone to bank roll his films. And if "nobody" will work with him that's all for the better. Maybe they would go back to the good old days of having real character actors.
What made it different was the portrayal of the Jews in it.
ALL of the above films recount the Passion, the teachings of Christ, etc. Why this obsessive focus on Gibson's film ? What makes it DIFFERENT ?
Not to excuse what Gibson said, it shows a true lack of class but since Che' is such a big icon to the left, especially Hollywood, maybe Gibson would be given a pass if he simply quoted Che
I don't know if this film was profitable but it definitely served to remind me that for all the recent bumps in Gibson's personal life (indeed, mostly self-inflicted), he is still a helluva entertainer.
I wonder how many of these people writting about how his career is over would feel about having their private spats at home be made public? I' sure we would find many things to hold over their heads if the same happened to them.
His rant was not flattering but he was objecting to her dressing like a slut and being phony - a "synthetic person". She set him up and TAPED it. She knew him well enough to KNOW what he'd say.
Honestly, Id' hate to have someone tape me with some of the things I say ... take a lesson from this.
What's ironic is is that the LIBERALS that decry this are WORSE than Mel! Ever hear how LIBERALS talks about Bush or Cheney? The double standard applies. In the situation of Mel, he wasn't THINKING with his big head and literally got screwed from every perspective. The fact that she is a home wrecker didn't matter. BTW, I don't believe he ever married her. So he'll just have child support to pay.
I, for one will see a good movie if he makes one.
If he makes a crappy one, I will not go see it.
Hollywood stars have said much worse in recent years. I have my own list of actors whose product will never again be bought by my family
Exactly. He has painted a huge target on him. Pray he repents.
He is exactly right-she dresses like a hooker, and he is upset over the implants and his baby nursing, etc. His rant was no different than what most men would say once they realized what they were dealing with. It was a lapse in judgment in the first place to have a relationship with someone like her.
Sorry to see this happen to him now in his life. He had a great wife and family and things have spiraled down for him since his divorce. Somewhere there is a good woman out there who will be able to steer him in the right direction.
For the middle part of his career, I think he was fighting desperately to keep his sanity. His three signature movies, Braveheart, the Patriot, and We Were Soldiers, were about a man who desired a safe family life, but ended up in the middle of chaotic battle. In the Patriot, in particular, his character had engaged in heinous acts during the indian wars, and was fighting that part of himself in his early refusals to take part in the rebellion.
During the time he was making these movies, he built his own church and attended masses in Latin. After the Passion of the Christ, he seemed to come unhinged again.
I think those three movies were somewhat autobiographical, in that his characters, while professing to want the safe family life, actually seemed far more alive when engaging in wild acts of violence. I know whenever I watched them, during the early setup, I was going, "Yeah, yeah, got the family. Go kill somebody, Mel." In his real life, the desire to become crazy was internal, rather than forced on him by Longshanks or the British army.
The point I find interesting about this is assuming Gibson is a Christian, people need to realize, we all are humans, we make bad choices, do bad things, continue to sin...so to speak.
I don't excuse Gibson or anyone from this, but you just know evil grates on a guy like this...

CHICKASHA – The Drovers had another tough night in the USAO Fieldhouse on Monday night as both teams fell to the Crimson Storm in a third conference game.
The women's highest scorer was senior Aita Gueye, who had 15 points, five rebounds and five assists. Also scoring big for USAO were Maggie Oliver with 14 points and Vernisha Moss with 10.
"I was disappointed we didn't come out playing like we did in the second half," Head Coach Laci Tompkins said. "We fought hard and never quit, so I was proud of their effort. We just have to play at that high level from the start."
The Drovers were defeated 81-68. They are 5-4 overall and 1-2 in conference play.
The men fell behind quickly but brought the game within just a few points going into halftime.
Sahlih Butts had his sixth double double so far this season. He had 19 points, 16 rebounds and one assist. Sophomore Graham Faulkner helped the Drovers with another 11 points and two assists and Phillip Harris scored nine for USAO on Monday night.
The Drovers lost 71-55. They fall to 4-5 overall and 0-3 in the conference.
The men will take on Cameron University in an exhibition game at 7 p.m. Saturday night. It will be Local Media Appreciation Day and local media members and their families will get in free.
The teams will both play their next conference game at home Jan. 1 against Northwestern Oklahoma State.
Clay McCullough, a physical education sophomore, was the first to receive a DVD player prize at a basketball game this year. USAO will be giving away another three players throughout the season.

Quality and Style at an amazing proce
"When i first saw these shoes i immediately thought how i had to have them. They were originally about 200$ and made out of vintage leather, which attracted me and on sale for a great price. These shoes look like i bought them from free people or a designer, they look that good! I got so many compliments and are so comfy. In my opinion they run ever so slightly short but after wearing them for a day, they broke in and are now perfect. The fact that they dont have a zipper doesnt bother me because they are easy to slip on. They are so expensive looking and have such great quality! Must-have!"

Super pleased
"Have a similar pair of Bull Boxer's in black that I love so bought these during clearance sale. Like my other pair, they run big, so I bought 1/2 size down because I assumed they break in easily. These are cool and very versatile. They seem a little narrow in the front of the boot and aren't stretching out as quickly, but I am sure they will with more wear. If not, a strategically placed shoe stretcher will do the trick. I have a narrow foot so prefer to start snug with a leather shoe and break them in a bit than one that is going to flop loosey-goosey when I walk. I don't do the double sock thing."

"These are great looking shoes. At first, I thought the studs would be a little odd since they don't go all the way around the shoes, but they look completely fine in person. They do run large though; even with insoles and socks, they didn't fit. I normally wear a 6.5, so I got a 37, but have to exchange them for a 36."

Richard John Watkins was born in Sydney on 4 May 1937. He studied at the Julian Ashton School and, intermittently, at the East Sydney Technical College between 1955 and 1958, without receiving a formal qualification. In 1959 he moved to London, where he remained until 1961, taking brief trips to France and Spain. He returned to Sydney via the United States of America, visiting galleries and seeing work by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell. Watkins' work was first shown in a group exhibition, Young Commonwealth artists, in London in 1962, and he held his first solo exhibition at the Barry Stern Gallery, Sydney, in 1963. Between 1974 and 1979 he was based in Hong Kong, from where he traveled to Europe in 1974–75 and again in 1977–78.
From 1963 onwards Watkins held regular exhibitions in Sydney and Melbourne. In 1985 he was selected to represent Australia in the XVIII Bienal de São Paulo. He has participated in many group exhibitions, including: Contemporary Australian painting which toured to Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1965; the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, exhibition The field, which was the first survey of colour-field painting and geometric abstraction in Australia; Creating Australia: 200 years of Australian art 1788–1988, an exhibition that toured Australian state galleries in 1988; and The moderns: 20th century painting and sculpture, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Hobart, 2005. His first retrospective was held at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery in 1989, and the National Gallery of Australia presented the major survey, Dick Watkins in context, in 1993. Watkins' work is collected in state and regional galleries, and numerous corporate and private collections. He lives and works in Sydney.

Love these tires. Just the right amount of sticky once heated up. Not much noise made once you drive on them a few times. Put them on a 1000hp skyline and did a launch and now he wants these tires because they're amazing... As for snow, as someone who lives in Canada I can say grip is non-existent, even when driving a car with only 250 pounds of torque.

It's the Economy Stupid!!!
"Look, it is a question of self-interest," he continued. "Your economy is fragile and everyone is jumping from the dollar to the euro. Bush is destroying your economy." Oh, Europeans. Needless to say, my friend was dumbfounded when the election results were announced. (I won't even try to describe his reaction when we failed to "rebel" as a result of the voter fraud.)
Four years later, the same friend has moved to New York City with his family. He is excited about being in the United States at such "a historical moment." His eight year-old is asking if he can join me in the voting booth. "The election of Obama will bring the United States into the 21st century," my friend proclaims. "It will invigorate America's credibility with the rest of the world." When I tell him that I doubt that Obama will actually be elected, he directs the word "imbécile" at me. Cynical, maybe. Imbécile, I am not.
It may be possible to excuse Americans for not realizing how quickly the dollar is losing value. But, it should be obvious to everyone that our economy is in even worse shape than it was four years ago. People have been out of work for so long that they are no longer showing up in the unemployment statistics. Families are being kicked out of their homes unable to pay their mortgage costs. At this point, even the upper-echelons of our society are hurting. Major investment banks are being sold as if they are tenement homes in the inner-city. The sellers are happy to get whatever they can.
With the economy spiraling downward, support for the McCain-Palin team surges forward. McCain and Palin have yet to even fully acknowledge the predicament that we are in as a nation.
What does the future hold for us?
Chauncey DeVega says: How Many Ways Can the Mainstream Media Avoid Using the Word "White?" or Alternatively Entitled: Euphemisms for Naming White Folk
Let us count the ways...
One of the most striking features of the 2008 Presidential Campaign has been the way that pundits, critics, and many in the public have avoided speaking truth to power, of naming the obvious: This election is about White America and its role in an increasingly "post-racial" world. Perhaps, it is the result of a myopic and twisted understanding of "colorblindness" where the very act of naming race as a social fact is itself considered "racist." Maybe, it is a result of an anxiety wherein actually talking about White America, and how White racial identity will influence voting decisions, is dangerous because it destroys the myth of a colorblind America (a myth which should have been shattered to this point by the pathetic pandering of the Democratic Convention, and the unapologetic White Nationalism on display at the Republic Convention).
This fear of saying "White," and/or of naming "whiteness" in our public discourse is a type of mental illness. Naming race, or more appropriately the fear of doing so, is like the elephant sitting in the corner of the room taking a crap on the carpet while you are trying to have a dinner party: this is the absurdity, everyone knows the elephant is there, but they are desperately trying to ignore it. So let's call a spade a spade--do you like that Oscar Wildesque wordplay?--and name what we are seeing. Wow! Sometimes I am so easily impressed with myself.
As a humanitarian act, we respectable negroes are going to conduct an intervention where we help to cure White America of this problem. In this treatment, taken right out of the DSM-IV, we are going to list of all the ways to say "White" or to signal "whiteness" without actually using those words. To that end we are going to keep a running list of these terms and phrases and update it each week.
To begin, here are some softballs:
1. Values voter
2. Heartland
3. Mainstream voter
4. Hard working Americans
5. Lunchpail voters
6. Soccer moms
I especially like this new phrase which I heard last week on Fox News:
1. Walmart Moms
Our respectable negro readers, friends, allies, and family members, please help cure White America of this pathology by adding to our running tally. We must name that which does not want to be named if we are to help cure the sickness afflicting America's racial id.
Here is my prediction for our tally come November, I say less than 40 or over 60 for the total number of names on our final Euphemisms for Naming White Folk list. And I will throw in a prize for the best and/more most obscure and creative name or phrase...something from my own personal library for understanding the ways of white folk.
What is your guess for the total? And what are some more words and phrases to be added?
A Communal Project: We are Respectable Negroes and Free Darko Present the All Time Presidential Candidate One on One 21 Tournament
Accordingly, Gordon has come up with a devious, and ingenious exercise with our colleagues at Free Darko:
Welcome to the All-Time Presidential Candidate one-on-one 21 Tournament, a singular event over 150 years in the making. What makes this tournament so special? All of the participants ran for president either as Democrats or as Republicans (a criteria that has rankled a number of 3rd party candidates). Many of the participants actually made it to the White House, but some never even made it out of their party's primaries. The games are governed by standard 21 rules: maximum 3 free-throws after a made basket, players go back to 11 if they score more than 21 points, no out of bounds, only blatant fouls, traveling, and double dribbles called.
Good stuff huh? Presidential candidates fighting it out in a NCAA style tournament--I wish our real electoral politics were as exciting. The first round has just concluded. Were there any surprises or upsets? Who will be Cinderella story? What candidates are the "dark horses"--I love that word by the way--Did they rise to victory?
And for those of you not in the know, if you like us respectable negroes, you are probably going to love Free Darko.

We Can Finally Exhale: The Rift Between Our Universe and the Niggaro Universe has been Closed
It was a hell of a week wasn't it? I don't know exactly what happened because my memories are a bit fuzzy. Earlier today I received a phone call from Dr. Ronald Mallett, physicist at the University of Connecticut, and a fellow respectable negro. For those of you not in the know, this brother is working on time travel and is definitely a first ballot entry into the Ghetto Nerd Hall of Fame.
On the phone, Brother Mallett proclaimed: "Chauncey, I got the answer! I can close the Niggaro rift!" I was so confused I didn't get what he was talking about...I rattled off some nonsense about Black Republicans and being a Rush Limbaughesque news commentator. Thank god, Brother Mallet calmed me down, he simply said, "everything is gonna be alright, everything is gonna be alright."
It seems that Brother Mallet had been working on this problem for years and had actually anticipated that the Large Hadron Collider would tear a hole into the Niggaro Universe. His solution was simple. Brother Mallet decided to simply figure out the ratio of dark matter to "normal" matter in the Niggaro Universe and to send a heavy proton beam into that universe on an inverse frequency. This would create a unitary function that would in turn nullify the effects of the Niggaro Universe, and in turn, close the rift.
In essence, Dr. Mallet computed the inverse function of the unified field theory which was operative in the Niggaro Universe and found a way to send energy which would vibrate at the exact wave function necessary to close the convergence. I was utterly confused by his explanation. But, I intimately understood his formula:

The Niggaro Universe Proclaims: Democrats' Support for Liberal McCain Proves That They Put Country Last!
Republicans produce proud candidates who forge their own paths. Consider Republican war hero John Kerry, whose stellar combat record was shamelessly savaged by the liberal media during his 2004 Presidential campaign.
But let's look more closely at media darling John McCain.
Fact: Hothead McCain graduated 5th from the bottom of is class at the Naval Academy.
Fact: After reaping the benefits of being the son and grandson of admirals, McCain crashed five planes. Five!!!!
Fact: McCain dated strippers.
Fact: McCain recorded 32 propaganda films for the Viet Cong. In these tapes, he condemned America. And he has the absolute gall to question our doubts about his patriotism?
Fact: McCain divorced his first wife once she was crippled, but not before he started cheating on her with Cindy.
Fact: McCain again benefited from nepotism when Cindy's father—himself a crook, by the way—hired McCain to his beer distribution company.
Fact: McCain was a member of the Keating 5 and was proven to be not a maverick, but an entrenched corrupt Washington insider.
Fact: McCain called his wife a "cunt" in public.
Fact: McCain has several questionable radical associates.
Fact: McCain claims to be for the people, but he and his zillionaire wife, with her $300,000 outfits and half a million dollar credit card charges, don't even know how many houses they own. And they want to call the O'Bamas elitist?
What all of this adds up to is that we can learn a lot from the judgment and the character of Democrats who have chosen McCain to lead their party and our country. What does it say about Democrats that they have fawned over a traitorous dimwit with an overblown military record? What does it day that they back a gigolo who has never had to do an honest day of work in his life due to his daddy, granddaddy, and daddy-in-law? What does it say that he exhibits the lack of family values that those on our side exalt over all?
Because the radical, angry leftist media refuses to tell the truth about this man's character and past, it is up to us, the righteous conservative warriors on radio and on the internet, to let the American people know the truth!
The Nigarro Universe Proclaims: "Quota Queen" Sarah Palin's ABC Interview is More Proof that Affirmative Action Has Failed All Americans
While the liberal media and the McCain campaign cry foul over the phrase "lipstick on a pig," Sarah Palin, Democratic Candidate for VP was preparing for her television interview with ABC News.
After watching the interview I can now see why the Libs were so desperate to make sure that Sarah Palin was "comfortable," was going to do the interview at a "time and place of her own choosing," and when the media was going to be "deferential" to her.
The Democrats don't need to be worried about O'Bama's joke about lipsticks and pigs, when in fact they have said much much worse. After watching the Palin debacle, the folksy phrase the Democrats need to be worried about is one I learned from my grandma: You Can't Polish a Turd!
While we know that Palin's selection as VP is the product of identity politics on the Left, this need to put a black and female face on their ticket in order to win over their base and to shore up their liberal credentials, still shocks me. I remain amazed out how they couldn't find someone who is actually qualified for the position of vice president. Is there not one person of color in the Democratic Party with the ability to step up and take the reigns as Vice President?
If one were to watch Palin and imagine her as president, with the authority to make important decisions which impact our nation and the world, the picture that would be painted would be truly frightening:
1. Palin would have us at war with Russia. Assuming she knows where Georgia is, she actually believes that the United States should deploy military force against a country with thousands of nuclear warheads to protect Georgia? Excuse me, Georgia? A small country of marginal geopolitical influence, and one that is certainly not worth a nuclear war.
2. Israel. I will say it again Israel. Miss Earmark Palin would cede our national interests to another country. Palin it seems would give Israel a blank check to do as it wishes with the full assurance that the United States would back their play. Are you kidding me? Does Palin know anything about international relations and the fact that countries are self interested actors? Accordingly, you never cede your authority to another country because it is rarely in your favor.
3. The Bush Doctrine. God bless Charles Gibson for throwing Palin a lifeline. In watching her fumble for an answer I almost felt bad for her. Watching her it reminded me of the scene in the movie Caddyshack where Chevy Chase is trying to teach Bill Murray how to golf and he's kind of saying, "You're not, you're not ..." And he's standing behind him and he's trying to -- and he says, "You're not good." Palin's performance resonates with me and reminds me of that scene because frankly, she's just not good.
4. The Bush Doctrine point 2. Palin clearly didn't know what the Bush Doctrine is. I will repeat it, this woman, this affirmative action hire, doesn't have a basic knowledge of foreign relations. Yet, she is going to be one heartbeat away from the presidency. Am I the only one scared to death by this? As Palin fumbled through her answer it was striking how unqualified she is and how this whole thing came about within the Democratic Party. I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black woman. Ironically, these liberal policies, this policy of playing identity politics over merit is going to end up strangling liberals too.
5. Palin on Foreign Affairs again. Watch the video of Palin again. For your own sake, and because I don't want you to believe that I have convinced you of this fact, please watch her interview on ABC a second time. If you do, you will see the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee wandering aimlessly in desperate hope for a cogent thought. Again, if Sarah Palin were Caucasian, they would have taken this woman out on the basis of pure ignorance long ago.
6. Hubris. Did Palin even know what the definition of hubris is? Clearly, we see why she needed six years and four colleges to earn a Bachelor's degree.
America we are at a real cross-roads with this election. On one hand you have Barack, a real visionary, the American success story, a young man of destiny and vision. On the other hand, you have a party that has insulted the intelligence of the American people. The Democrats think you are stupid America! They think that black people and women will vote for Sarah Palin just because of her gender and her skin color. The Democrats are doubly insulting because they think that by trotting out a woman who uses her family as a prop that they can win votes. This is sad, sad, sad.
Sometimes we have to swallow a bitter pill. I feel sorry for Sarah Palin and I mean this sincerely from my heart. She is clearly over matched and under qualified for the job she has been offered. It is because of this very reason that I am against affirmative action and quotas. These programs hurt the very recipients of the programs by putting them in positions for which they are under prepared and ill equipped. Palin is the product of set-asides and special privileges. Her whole career has been the result of someone opening a door for her and lifting her up. Not once has she ever had to pull herself up by her bootstraps, not once!
The America we Republicans love, the America of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson is one where you make it on your own. The America we Republicans love is that of Martin Luther King Jr., one where you are judged by the content of your character and the strength of your ideas. This is not Sarah Palin and the Democratic Party's America. No, their country is one of special privileges, quotas, and affirmative action.
Sadly, Palin's interview showed us just where those policies will lead us.

The Niggaro Universe Proclaims: Sarah Palin -- A Radical, Welfare Queen Who is Out-of-Touch with Mainstream America
The face of Sarah Palin has grinned from the cover of every major news publication since she was announced as the Democratic, vice-presidential nominee. That she is clearly supported by the liberal media shows once again how out of touch they are with mainstream American values. What is the basis of their support? Palin's speech at the Democratic convention showed little more than that she is photogenic and adept with words. What do we really know about Sarah Palin?
While there is little known about Sarah Palin's career before she formally entered politics, we do know that she spent significant time as a "community organizer" for an extremist, Christian fundamentalist sect. A former Catholic with a history of marijuana use and a record of dating strippers, Palin was converted to the evangelical perspective by a boyfriend when she was a teenager. Her academic records indicate that she was kicked out of four community colleges across several states for poor academic performance and for behavioral issues related to religious intolerance. She finally managed to get a degree in Communications from the University of Idaho through their fast-track, affirmative action program.
Those who are close to Palin share that she married her husband, Todd Palin, when she found herself pregnant with their first child. While Palin has consistently described herself as "a strong, black woman," it seems that she had no problem turning to the state for welfare handouts while her husband demonstrated his own lack of ambition by spending his days fishing and playing basketball. Palin's affirmative action education proved useless in helping her find meaningful employment.
Sarah Palin came to the attention of Democratic operatives in her home state of Alaska when her welfare benefits were eventually cut off. Outraged, she demanded that the state support her pro-choice perspective to have more babies than she and her husband were able to support. In asserting her sense of entitlement, she proved herself able to rally the support of others who shared her radical views. Democrats saw an opportunity in Wasilla's growing evangelical community and tapped Palin to run in the town's mayoral election. Even Democrats, however, were surprised when she won.
As mayor, Palin quickly found that the most lucrative welfare benefits to be had were in the form of government earmarks designed to circumvent the merit-based allocation process and curtail the ability of the Executive Branch to properly manage funds. Palin took the title of "Welfare Queen" to an all new level when she secured record level earmarks for her cronies. The Democratic leadership found her to be more useful than they had ever imagined and began making long-term plans for her. Leaders within her extremist, Christian sect also found Palin to be useful. Believing that he had a direct line of communication to God, Palin adopted Pastor Kalnins as both her religious counselor and her political adviser. Pastor Kalnins and other sect leaders were able to mobilize a voting block for Palin by preaching that their members would be condemned to" a lake of burning fire" if they did not cast their vote for her. (It is reported that one of Palin's early election slogans was Cast Your Vote for Palin or Be Cast Into Hell!)
Sarah Palin made history on Dec. 4, 2006, when she took office as the first African-American woman to hold the position of state governor. Since taking office, her top priorities have been what she has termed "resource development." It turns out that this is just a fancy phrase for milking the federal government and directing resources to her pet projects. Others like her include Marion Berry and Kwame Kilpatrick. While Berry and Kilpatrick were eventually exposed for the ghetto figure-heads that they were, Palin has been able to effectively fuse her minority status together with her gender to create a protective shroud against criticism. Comments pointing out the truth are rallied back as sexist and racist. This tactic is so successful that the Democratic presidential nominee is now using her as his personal mouth piece. In spite of her new status as a media darling, Sarah Palin is simply a fast talker who can't be trusted.
Sarah Palin touts herself as a leader with "executive" experience. Even if we set aside the fact that she defers to a store-front preacher with no political background and that her rise in politics was the result of an affirmative action fast track, there is still the matter of her family. Throughout her personal pursuit of political gain, she has given birth to no less than five children. It seems that family planning and personal responsibility are basics that Palin has chosen to ignore.
Palin's oldest son and daughter carry the sins of their mother – Hezekiah is addicted to crack and La'Shawnda is unmarried and pregnant. Not surprisingly, Palin has expressed not an ounce of shame about her children's difficulties. Instead, she is parading her daughter's "baby daddy" on the national stage with claims that marriage is imminent. (Insiders report that the "baby daddy" was actually threatened with physical violence by elders within Palin's religious sect if he refused to participate in the current sham.) Unwilling to help her son through his addiction, Palin has made Hezekiah the government's problem by forcing him to join the military.
The saddest and most shameful of all is Palin's neglect of her youngest child, Pooty. Born with developmental disorders, Pooty Palin has been left to the care of his oldest sister while Palin selfishly pursues political power and her husband hangs out on the corner with his basketball "homeboys." Palin's short comings as a mother clearly reflect what we can expect from her as one of our nation's top leaders.
Although we know painfully little about the real Sarah Palin, what we do know is enough to make us all tremble at the thought of her representing the American people. Sarah Palin is an extremist figure who does not reflect our values as a nation.
Sarah Palin? Welfare Queen, yes. American Vice-President, absolutely not!

The Niggaro Universe Proclaims: Barack O'Bama-Visionary, Leader, Cut from the Cloth of Ronald Reagan, a Hero, and Future Leader of These United States
I am disgusted by the attacks on our candidate by the Democratic Party. They say he mocks them, that he is a sexist, that he smears Sarah Palin as being a pig with lipstick. They are afraid of his potential I tell you. They are afraid of his patriotism. They are afraid of what they believe is an impossible dream come to life. O'Bama cannot exist in their America. But I tell you, in our America, in the America of Republicans, there are thousands, millions, tens of millions of little O'Bamas, boys and girls, waiting, yearning, preparing to change America--spurred on by Barack's example, and in their own time ready to make history.
I sit here teary eyed as I think about Barack O'Bama. He is a visionary. He is a true leader. He is experienced. He is ready to lead. America is at a cross roads and fate has blessed us with an amazing leader. While the Democrats would tell you that he is not ready to lead, that he does not have the experience to lead, that he is embroiled in petty local politics, tarred by his associations with "real" Americans, we patriotic, God fearing, heartland, lunch pail voters know differently.
O'Bama is our story. What person doesn't see Ronald Reagan when they hear his voice? Who can't be proud at his amazingly American story? Visualizing this young man in that most American of States, Hawaii, surfing and swimming, embodying even as a child, the wonderful and amazing diversity of peoples, creeds, and places that these United States have to offer.
Barack's life is an American story. He is the product of immigrants who rose from humble beginnings to find success. Barack never complained, never cried foul, never apologized for his life circumstances. Raised by a single mother, reaching out to mentors wherever he could find them, and a God fearing man, he found his way to Harvard University--that most esteemed and elite of institutions. From there, he graduated as president of the Harvard Law Review and went onward to win positions as a representative for the state of Illinois on both the state and national levels. America is amazing. Don't listen to those America haters, those tired "liberals" in the media, those who no longer believe in the hopeful possibilities of America's greatness. Ask them: where else could a man of such humble beginnings find his way to the White House? In what other country could a man raised with the values of the heartland: hard work, distinguished service, educational excellence, and loyalty to family find himself at such a young, age, only 3 months away from the being President of the most powerful country in the world?
Family matters to Republicans. Family matters to Walmart moms, those Americans struggling to do the right thing even when it is easier to do the wrong thing. Family matters to those small town Americans who comprise the beating heart and soul of this country. Family matters to those blue collar Americans who pay their taxes on time, volunteer in their churches, and contribute to their communities through volunteer service.
Family matters to Barack O'Bama. Community matters to Barack O'Bama. When it was easier to go to Wall Street or to a big investment firm, our nominee said, "No!" Instead he went to work as a volunteer in Chicago. When it was easier to run off and make millions in the private sector our nominee said, "No!" Instead, he entered into that most selfless of professions and became an educator. When it was easier to take the public's money as he ran for president our candidate said, "No!" Instead, he said I can stand on my own. This is your, our, America's Barack O'Bama.
Some would say that this story of uplift, of self-help, of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, the Barack story is a lie, a fantasy, something that we Republicans cling to in our nostalgia. What the Democrats don't understand is how this story is true, it is reality, it lives in every small town, in every entrepreneur, in every child and grandparent of immigrants, in every ancestor of those who arrived on the Mayflower, and in the soul of every child whose parents hail from Latin America, China, or Korea. America works because its citizens believe that it works. America is embodied in men and women like Barack O'bama.
And I won't lie, America is embodied in wonderful and supportive partners and spouses like Michelle Obama, an amazing woman, mother, friend, and I will admit it, because we all need a wall upon which to lean, that rock upon which Obama rests his tired and weary shoulders after he has come home exhausted and tired because he has fought for you, the American people. And how can you not love those beautiful, poised, and charming children? America, Barack is our America. Barack is our family. Barack is you. Barack is me.
Some say America's best years are behind us. Some say we are an imperial country, and Lord I hate that idea because what empire has given the people of the world so much? Has given so much to so many?
No, no, no, no! We are a giving people. We are a righteous people. Barack O'bama, a future world leader, a man that publics around the world are supporting, are rallying to, is the next, greatest, hope, for peace and prosperity. Think about it my fellow Republicans, Barack isn't even elected and the world has anointed him its leader. It is only in this party, a party of great individuals, where men and women rise because of their ability and not because of patronage, where excellence is cultivated, and we are beyond the petty identity politics which would allow a fraud, a hollow hope such as that Sarah Palin to be considered for vice president, that a man like Barack O'Bama could be nominated for president.
Barack, like Reagan, just as he stood before those wonderful Ivory white, Romanesque columns, that magisterial display that was our convention, will anoint a new era. America, following the leadership of this considered, confident, accomplished, and amazingly intelligent young man, will bring young and old together, healing the wounds of petty division, and crossing the divides of party to usher in a new American century. We, us, America, will once again be a beacon shining on the hill for all peoples starved of freedom, for all people who yearn for change, and for all Americans ready to walk forward into another century of American greatness.
Barack O'Bama you are our child of destiny. Barack O'Bama we are indeed lucky to have you as our future president.
I Think I Know What is Going on--The Niggaro Universe is Flooding Into Our Own
The last broadcast on the news said something about multiverse theory. These are the moments where I am thankful that I am such a geek.
Apparently, theoretical physicists have long known that there are all these universes overlapping one another. This isn't really a new idea, we just could never prove it.
Normally, you can't see or interact with these multiple universes except for those vague shadows you sometimes see--you know those shadow people--out of the corner of your eye or for the random sense of de ja vu we all sometimes get. We know something is there but we can't process it...and it can't hurt us. Now, the Hadron Collider has torn open a hole between our universe and another one. The scientists are turning off the Hadron Collider. And they are also using some type of heavy proton beam to accelerate their closing of the rift. But, the catch is that it won't close for a few days at least.
Damn, I hope we can all stay calm long enough for reality to come back to normal.
It seems that the effects are not consistent across the Earth. They seem to be related to our proximity to the Hadron Collider. In Europe things are totally crazy with knights and such running around downtown London. Vikings have apparently been sighted in the North Atlantic. In the U.S., the effects are more random and sporadic for now. But, the authorities are saying the entire world will be impacted by the "Hadron Wave" in a few hours. Let's just hold our breath and try to get through this together.
From what I can figure out from the signals we have received from the different tv stations in the reality that is overlapping ours (that reality knows something is up as well, their Earth is called "Niggaro" and they are as freaked out by this as we are), things are similar but also different. We all exist, but we may change somehow, or be influenced by our peers in the parallel universe. The rules as I have figured out are that most things are the same, so if we stay cool we should be fine. I am concerned because one of the scientists on the EBS said that the Niggaro universe has more dark matter so it may actually overwrite our reality for a time until things equalize and return to normal.
I am deeply disturbed by what I have discovered so far:
1. Obama is a white Republican named O'Bama;
2. Palin is a black woman who is a Democrat;
3. Biden is still the same, but instead is a Republican;
4. McCain is a maverick, populist Democrat.
This is going to be a wild ride...may God have mercy on us all.
The We Are Respectable Negroes News Network Brings You the Following Emergency Announcement
The We Are Respectable Negroes News Network has been asked to make the following announcement.
This is not a test. We repeat this is not a test. This morning the Large Hadron collider in Switzerland was activated for the first time. This machine, which is designed to recreate the effects of the Big Bang, has created a chain reaction that is altering the relationship between space and time.
Scientists from around the world are working on correcting this problem. We advise all citizens, especially those in large cities, to remain in their homes or places of work. The federal government in conjunction with your local authorities are deploying police and National Guardsmen to maintain public order. Again, the Hadron Collider is causing citizens to hear voices, to see objects and people which are not there, and to experience a general sense of confusion and panic. Again, we urge all citizens to remain calm, to stay in their homes, and to follow any and all directions given to them by local, state, and federal authorities.
Your government is here for you and is diligently working to correct this problem. President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have been relocated to secure command centers where they are monitoring the day's developments. The presidential and vice presidential nominees have also been secreted away to secure locations.
More news will be broadcast as it becomes available. Again, you are all urged to remain calm as the world's best scientists are diligently working to correct this problem.
The World is coming Undone, What Type of Madness is this????
Something is really really wrong.
I urge all of you to put on your televisions and radios. I don't know what is really happening, but it is bizarre beyond belief. Luckily, the internet is still working...thank God that is the way the Department of Defense designed it. On television, there are all these images overlapping with the pictures already there. On CNN and Fox, the news is alternating between stuff that makes sense, and information which is totally non-nonsensical. Someone called my landline--thank God I still have one because the cell phones are down--and they were asking how I was doing, but I have no idea who they are, but they seemed to know a great deal about me.
This may sound crazy, but it was almost like I was doing acid again (I wasn't a good boy in college) and I saw all these strange things on the television. I am not kidding! On the news someone was doing a story where Obama was white and a Republican! Then they showed a picture of Sarah Palin and she was a black Democrat! And McCain was a Democrat too! Our reality is coming apart at the seams or something, it is almost like that comic book series Crisis on Infinite Earths with all the different Earth realities collapsing together. Or maybe the first Matrix when Neo wakes up from his dream. Hell, the world is going down the toilet and I am thinking of a comic book and the Matrix Movies. I must be really losing it...
Chauncey DeVega says: The Large Hadron Collider Passes First Test--I Don't Buy It Because Something Seems Wrong Here
There is something heavy in the air. It almost smells of ozone. The television and radio are picking up different signals...lots of interference, and signals overlapping one another. I am a bit freaked out. It's surreal, really surreal. This is getting real weird, like something out of a science fiction or Stephen King novel.
Here is the propaganda they are circulating:
Massive particle collider passes first key tests
By ALEXANDER G. HIGGINS, Associated Press Writer
GENEVA - The world's largest particle collider passed its first major tests by firing two beams of protons in opposite directions around a 17-mile (27-kilometer) underground ring Wednesday in what scientists hope is the next great step to understanding the makeup of the universe. After a series of trial runs, two white dots flashed on a computer screen at 10:26 a.m. (0826 GMT) indicating that the protons had traveled clockwise along the full length of the 4 billion Swiss franc (US$3.8 billion) Large Hadron Collider — described as the biggest physics experiment in history.
"There it is," project leader Lyn Evans said when the beam completed its lap.
Champagne corks popped in labs as far away as Chicago, where contributing and competing scientists watched the proceedings by satellite.
Five hours later, scientists successfully fired a beam counterclockwise.
Physicists around the world now have much greater power to smash the components of atoms together in attempts to learn about their structure.
"Well done, everybody," said Robert Aymar, director-general of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, to cheers from the assembled scientists in the collider's control room at the Swiss-French border.
The organization, known by its French acronym CERN, began firing the protons — a type of subatomic particle — around the tunnel in stages less than an hour earlier, with the first beam injection at 9:35 a.m. (0735 GMT).
Eventually two beams will be fired at the same time in opposite directions with the aim of recreating conditions a split second after the big bang, which scientists theorize was the massive explosion that created the universe.
"My first thought was relief," said Evans, who has been working on the project since its inception in 1984. "This is a machine of enormous complexity. Things can go wrong at any time. But this morning has been a great start..."the lies continue here.

Chauncey DeVega's World of Ghetto Nerds: Rejoice! The Large Hadron Collider will be Activated Today
Ghetto nerds rejoice because history will be made later today when the Large Hadron Collider is activated on the Franco-Swiss border. This amazing device will recreate the beginnings of the universe at the time of the Big Bang and allow scientists to create particles, and observe phenomena, that to this point, have only been the stuff of imagination. I love theoretical physics. I will say it again, I love theoretical physics. Now, there are some Luddites who believe that the world is going to end, that we will unleash energies which will destroy the Earth, or that our world will be swallowed up by a black hole. This is all rubbish, come tomorrow we will be smarter as a species as we take a few more baby steps forward in our knowledge of the natural world. I may not be religious, but I am very spiritual. It is in these moments that my faith is renewed because science does in fact help us to understand the mind of God.
Here is a little more theoretical physics goodness as my boy Mr. Michio Kaku explains multiple universes and parallel dimensions:
To Hell With You: Sarah Palin's Religious Views
Sarah Palin is a conservative, Christian fundamentalist who believes in a supposed "literal translation" of the Bible. This is fine, except that she also believes that it is completely appropriate for her religious views to shape her political actions. "Among other things, she encouraged a group of young church leaders to pray that 'God's will' be done in bringing about the construction of a big pipeline in the state. She also suggested her work as governor would be hampered 'if the people of Alaska's heart isn't right with God'." Let's remember, too, her position on teaching Creationism in public schools.
Sarah Palin's former pastor and current adviser, Pastor Kalnins, has preached that "critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven; charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war 'contending for your faith;' and said that Jesus 'operated from that position of war mode':"
What you see in a terrorist -- that's called the invisible enemy. There has always been an invisible enemy. What you see in Iraq, basically, is a manifestation of what's going on in this unseen world called the spirit world. ... We need to think like Jesus thinks. We are in a time and a season of war, and we need to think like that. We need to develop that instinct. We need to develop as believers the instinct that we are at war, and that war is contending for your faith. ... Jesus called us to die. You're worried about getting hurt? He's called us to die. Listen, you know we can't even follow him unless you are willing to give up your life. ... I believe that Jesus himself operated from that position of war mode. Everyone say "war mode." Now you say, wait a minute Ed, he's like the good shepherd, he's loving all the time and he's kind all the time. Oh yes he is -- but I also believe that he had a part of his thoughts that knew that he was in a war.
Pastor Kalnins has preached against gays, Catholics and the state of Israel. He also teaches that to defy President Bush is like defying your pastor and that defying your pastor is a sin. JFK was questioned as a Catholic about his allegiance to the "papacy." When will Palin face questions about her allegiance to a fundamentalist pastor who is little more than a bizarro version of bin Laden?
Are you scared yet? If not, let's read a bit of fundamentalist literature as offered by Jack Chick, the author and publisher of Chick Tracts and the Crusader comics.
Theme: Evolution
Crusaders Comic Volume 6
Frank Connelly is the producer of a television series based on evolution...but his meeting with the Crusaders and their friend, Dr. Lind, will change his opinion on what he's producing.
This comic proves that the "science" of evolution can only be labeled as misleading theory. Many are being brainwashed in the schools and through the media into believing the Bible is false and that evolution is a scientific fact. Now it's time they are told the truth!Theme: God and the War in Iraq
...Did you note the appreciation for diversity and intellectualism?
The double-standards of Republicans never cease to amaze me. They are rallying around Palin, rebuffing even the tiniest bit of scrutiny. With Barack Obama, they dug up every bit of information they could find about his religious background -- and it was all fair play. Not only was Obama expected to distance himself from the musings of Rev. Wright, he was expected to denounce them. Conservative voters used Obama's affiliation with the Trinity United Church of Christ to say that he was suspect and biased, that he "just can't be trusted." Palin's association with the Wasilla Assembly of God, however, should raise even larger concerns – for gays, for Catholics, for Jews, for scientists, for non-theocrats ...
Condoleeza Rice Waits with Bated Breath as KFC'S Secret Recipe is Put in Transit
And millions of "the folk" wait in ambush. Are the descendants of the Colonel's slaves who came up with his secret recipe ever going to get reparations?
From the AP:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Pssst. The secret's out at KFC. Well, sort of. Colonel Harland Sanders' handwritten recipe of 11 herbs and spices was to be removed Tuesday from safekeeping at KFC's corporate offices for the first time in decades. The temporary relocation is allowing KFC to revamp security around a yellowing sheet of paper that contains one of the country's most famous corporate secrets.
The brand's top executive admitted his nerves were aflutter despite the tight security he lined up for the operation.
"I don't want to be the president who loses the recipe," KFC President Roger Eaton said. "Imagine how terrifying that would be."
The story continues here.

Looky Looky Here! It Seems We Respectable Negroes Have Won A Black Weblog Award!
The fallout continues from CNN's Black in America news special. In my conversations with friends and colleagues, there is a recurring question: What would a White version of Black in America look like? A hypothetical question, yes, but one that is still interesting and useful to work through. In the spirit of Black in America, we present to you our pitch for the never to be produced, television news special, White in America.
Segment 1
White Teenagers: Out of Control and at Risk
At a time when young people should be comfortably protected by their parents while also moving forward with their lives into adulthood, white teenagers are exhibiting self-destructive behaviors which threaten to undermine the fabric of white communities. White teens and young adults are most likely to binge drink, smoke, and at the college age, to have multiple sexual partners. STI's such as chlamydia, syphilis, genital herpes, and HPV are increasingly common among college age white women. As seen in the recent pregnancy cult in Gloucester, Massachusetts where at least 17 white teenage girls endeavored to become pregnant at one time, white teenagers are exhibiting sexual behaviors that border on the pathological--in the above case having unprotected sex with strangers, including random homeless men, in order to become pregnant. The casual nature with which white teens approach sex and sexuality is mirrored through the "new" dating conventions of "hooking up" where normal, suburban, white teens--young people from healthy homes--have multiple casual and short-term sexual relationships. Contributing to this crisis, is how the sexualization of young white women through beauty pageants, popular music and film, and the beauty industry, an early sexualization which is reinforced through peer pressure, has created a minefield for young white women where many ultimately have to struggle with mental health issues such as anorexia, bulimia and body dysmorphic condition.
How can we help young white people? How have white parents let things get so bad? Where are white young people learning these lessons? What can responsible, white parents do?
Segment 2
A Plague Upon the Land: White Men, Workplace Violence, School Shootings, Hate Crimes, and Dead Wives
White men have long struggled with a culture of violence. While the culture of violence which afflicts white men has been moderated over time, American society is still struggling with this pathological behavior. White men have long held a near monopoly on being serial killers (the BTK killer, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and domestic terrorists (e.g. the KKK, Timothy McVeigh, and the UnaBomber) but the violence seems to be shifting its focus to schools and the workplace.
During the last decade or so, from Columbine, to Northern Illinois University, to Springfield, Oregon, to a high school in Minnesota, young white men have killed dozens of people, and wounded many more in murderous rampages. Workplace violence has also seen a marked increase where it has risen several orders of magnitude during the past few decades. This has been attributed by some critics to a tumultuous economy and the pressures felt by white workers:
Other critics would point to a dangerous populism brought about by the vitriol laced, "angry white male" narratives which underlie right-wing talk radio and television. Most recently, the shotgun wielding attack on a Unitarian church by Jim David Adkisson--the assailant blamed "liberals" for all of his problems--and his penchant for right wing propaganda, would seem to support this hypothesis.
Family members are often the first victims of violence. White women and children have been imperiled by the violence of white men. Daily, it seems that there are reports of white women and/or children being kidnapped or murdered (we label this the "Peterson" syndrome), often by their spouses.
These cases of white men engaging in murderous behavior are not confined to the United States, because in Finland, a high school age boy went on a murder-shooting spree at his local school. Most notably, in Austria, Josef Fritzl was arrested after imprisoning his children in an underground bunker where he ritually abused them, and in a shocking twist, impregnated his own daughter.
Is white male violence a global crisis? What can be done to stop this open season on white women and white children? What is fueling this culture of violence? Who is to blame?
Segment 3
School is No Longer a Place for Just the ABC's: Female Teachers Are Preying Upon Their Male Students
Teachers have a sacred trust. They prepare the next generation for life and are tasked with broadening their minds and intellect. However, this sacred trust has been betrayed in High Schools and Middle Schools across the United States. In dozens of known cases, the actual count is suspected of being much higher, white female teachers are having sex with their male students. As noted here, out of the dozens and dozens of reported incidents, and with rare exceptions, most of these teacher rapists are white women in their 30s and 40s. Beyond mere experimentation or moments of weakness, these sexually exploitative relationships develop and continue over long periods of time, and subsequently do irreparable psychological harm to the young male victims they involve. In some cases, the relationships involve group sex with multiple boys, or develop into "love relationships" where the teacher steals away to a foreign country in order to continue the illicit and illegal relationship.
Why are white women pursuing teenage boys? Is this criminal behavior a result of a culture which focuses too much on the sexual desirability of young women? Are older white women feeling neglected and left out? Is this recent fetishizing of white women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s--the Sex and the City phenomenon--to blame? Are white women feeling an unhealthy pressure to become either a MILF or a Cougar?
What can schools do to protect young boys from these predators? What are the warning signs that your son is being abused by a female teacher?
Segment 4
What are White Women to do? White Men, Down-low Culture, Cruising, Sex Cults, and to Catch a Predator
White men are indulging in sexually high risk and deviant behavior. While a cottage industry has been generated by the hysteria surrounding black men on "the down low," white men and white women have also been struggling with issues of sex, intimacy, and trust. In such high profile cases as the polygamist cult raid in El Dorado, Texas where 534 children were removed because their safety was at risk, to the lesser known bestiality and zoophilia cases in Oregon (where a man died from having sex with a horse), many white males have been exhibiting pathological sexual behavior.
Not confined to the masses, white male sexual deviancy is particularly jarring and disconcerting when one examines the behavior of white male elites. In a litany of high profile cases, white politicians (Larry Craig and many others), religious figures, and businessmen have confessed to living double-lives where they maintain relationships with men and women, and often involve prostitutes. Most troubling, many of these men, such as Ted Haggard are extremely homophobic and have made careers and fortunes based upon their outspoken crusades against gay people. These white men on the DL have committed a double breach of trust with their hypocrisy: they have betrayed the public as well as their families. White men on the DL are also pursuing high-risk sex in locations such as public rest rooms and internet chat rooms. As the television show, To Catch a Predator has repeatedly revealed, white men on the DL, a definition which we expand to include those men who seek out under-age boys and girls, are willing to risk their health and livelihood, and that of their partners:
These internet predators also include pillars of the community such as doctors, teachers, and religious leaders:
What can white women do? How can they know if their partner is on the down low? What are the health risks? If you find out your husband is cruising for sex in public bathrooms or on the internet how should you intervene? Should you stay in the relationship or should you go?
Segment 5
No End in Sight: The Methamphetamine Plague that is Destroying White Communities
Methamphetamine is destroying the fabric of Red State America. This easy to obtain, highly addictive drug is tearing apart families and communities. An estimated 1.4 million people suffer from this addiction, almost all of them white, suburban and/or rural. In fact, meth is no longer confined to rural America, its reach is expanding to include every part of the United States. The rural culture of drugs is so pervasive that not even Amish communities are immune from its grasp. No longer will the suburbs offer protection from the perils of this dangerous drug, as it has already has, or will shortly be, making inroads into what were once safe, white, suburban communities. Just as some parts of the United States were almost destroyed by the crack epidemic of the 1980s, entire communities in the South and Midwest are been torn asunder by this cheap and easily obtained drug.
How should you protect your family? What are the signs your child is on meth? What should the government do? Should drugs be legalized and regulated? If you live in a meth infested area what are you doing to protect your children and family? What is your day to day life like? How do you struggle through it?

A lot of readers are clamoring for more information on Kingdom Hearts 3. Some readers are hot for more details on Final Fantasy Versus XIII. One reader idiotically asked why TheFeed hasn't asked Yoshinori Kitase about Versus XIII. Some of you will be getting your questions answered, as Square Enix director/designer/deity Tetsuya Nomura has revealed what the company will be showing off at Tokyo Game Show 2009. Andriasang has translated an interview with Famitsu that said:
"Additionally, Nomura said that Square Enix probably will not show new footage of titles that are further off, including Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy Agito XIII, and The Third Birthday.
On a more positive note, Nomura's comments do appear to confirm playable FFXIII and Birth By Sleep at the show! Those two alone should make a trip to the Square Enix booth worthwhile."
Gamers waiting for the big Kingdom Hearts 3 announcement will have to wait a while longer. Players wanting to see more Versus XIII in action will be disappointed. The genius that wanted Versus XIII answers from Kitase needs to understand that it would have been moronic to throw those questions at him.
I know this isn't what some of you wanted to hear, but I'm totally down with FFXIII and Birth by Sleep at TGS. How do you guys feel? Excited? Disappointed? Meh?
