Field, I think its a little deeper the story show -- I highly doubt a sane, rational woman would shoot her 19-year old niece over a mini-skirt. Something tells me that this is a Marvin Gaye Sr type stuff and there was something brewing for a long time.
But then again, so-called sane, rational people will take a gaffe from the first lady as proof that the President is a secret Kenyan Muslim communist hell-bent on killing grandpa. - 8:06 PM
OK, which one was the street pirate? Nevermind, I'm sure CF will set us straight. File this one under: WWJS? (Who Would Jesus Shoot?)
As for the Birthers, they are immune to logic to the point of willful stupidity. That, or they are mentally ill. I'm sure that you will be inundated with links from PrisonPlant, Lyndon LaRouche, etc etc from a certain commenter but that only makes my point.
Did you catch the Barcelona-Arsenal match? - 8:07 PM
- M. Rigmaiden said...
Whoa! Shot over attire...yeah there was likely something else lurking underneath that mess...It's a shame when family members cannot get along.
I don't get the Birthers either. McCain wasn't even born on US soil but yet he was a viable candidate for most of them. I know of one guy who said that both Obama and McCain aren't real citizens and tried suing them in federal court but his case was dismissed.
There are so many other things to worry about in this world than the Birther issue. One thing is how we can move our economy along by creating something...We also should consider getting involved with Earth friendly activities like camping or going to National Parks. The list goes on and on... - 8:19 PM
- M. Rigmaiden said...
Oh FN!!!!! Your favorite beautiful lady is running for Congress!
What say you? :P - 8:20 PM
- Jody said...
I wonder how much alcohol was involved?? I find it hard to believe that auntie was sober.... This is yet another example of a situation that could have ended with bruises and pulled hair instead of bullets and blood, if not for the gun... And, I am sure that the gun advocates will tell me she had the gun for her protection.. my response, that ended well, huh?
As for the wingnuts.... one of the down sides of the internet is that any fool can post something, and because it is posted, it somehow gives it credibility.... Critical thinking and research is becoming an endangered concept. - 8:25 PM

Jody I am a total gun rights advocate. But I cannot argue with what you've said at all. Anyone with any semblance of honesty or decency would admit the same. - 8:29 PM
I don't get it. Why would Michelle say Kenya is his 'home country?'
Time from post to first wingnut comment: 1 hour 59 minutes.
You are losing your touch, Field. - 8:40 PM
- field negro said...
M. Rigmaiden, why did you go and give me that link? Do you know her? If you do, tell her that the challenge is still on.
As for these two cousins; yeah I honestly think that there was something else at play here.
Maybe LaCoincidedntal is right; some Marving Gaye, Sr. type stuff.
No Greg, I didn't get to see that match. Not yet. I am going to watch it later. That's the semis, right?
Who is in the other one? Is it Inter and Bayern? As you can see I am behind on my soccer news here.
Are these birthers nuts or what? But it's not only them. There are quire a few "main stream" republicans who believe that stuff.
Hey MR, do you think our friend Angela is a birther? - 8:41 PM
- field negro said...
"I don't get it. Why would Michelle say Kenya is his 'home country?'"
I don't know anon. Do you care to expound on that for us? - 8:43 PM
Quarters, 2nd leg
ManU v Bayern tomorrow, 1545 EST @ Old Trafford. Aggregate 2-1 for Bayern.
Bordeaux v Lyon, same time, @ Bordeaux, Agg. 3-1 for Lyon.
Semis 20/21 & 27/28 April.
Will not mention today's results as you are watching it later. I will say the Barca match is a history maker. - 8:50 PM
- field negro said...
Thanks Greg. You are my official soccer guy from now on.I love the gunners (Song and Nasri are magicians) and the other big London club.(Chelsea) But that little Argentinian has made me a Barca fan. :)
There is a great book that has been out for a while...Crowns: Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats by Craig Marberry...it's a god read and enlightening on why black women wear church hats :)
You already know that women had deeper issues with her young cousin than her showing up with shorts on...
And then...she just had issues...
I think we will be hearing more and more of these far fetched stories of violence this summer...
It may be the longest summer of discontent on record....I'm jus sayin'....
~agape2010~ - 9:09 PM
Field you sure can find some disturbing things to post. I can hardly believe it but I can, people are under enormous stress these days and some folks are ready to snap and some as you show actually do.
I suspect there had been quite a bit of disrespect being shown the older relative and she went over the edge when she felt insulted yet again.
Jody you made a lot of sense. Maybe just maybe if there had been no gun.
Speaking of violence everyone has to see today's New York Times with the killing of the Reuters newsmen by US forces in Iraq.
Field you saw that disturbing video help me get others to watch it. There were over 1,000 thats right 1,000 comments on the article and video in the New York Times today, that's how disturbing this is.
I believe everyone should see this, and especially those who want to get a glimpse of what these wars are really like;
The video is posted along side of the article. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS!!

a story i found says it was due to jealously--the alleged shooter's husband "noticed" the shorts and t-shirt on the 19 year old.

Agape2010, I am actually aware of that book,not to mention our history when it comes to "Crowns". My issues is with some of these folks who go over-board with dressing -the kids etc.- on Easter. You would have to live in a city like Philly to feel where I am coming from.

Sorry Mell.I am somewhat disturbed myself so.... - 9:15 PM
@ Mell:
Sorry...no can do....about the video.
I will take your word for it. War is a game that men play...
Watching people die...getting killed...just not my thing...
~agape2010~ - 9:18 PM
an excerpt from the helicopter pilots in the NY Times article commenting on their handiwork.
it begins with a group of people milling around on a street, among them, according to WikiLeaks, Mr. Noor-Eldeen and Mr. Chmagh. The pilots believe them to be insurgents, and mistake Mr. Noor-Eldeen's camera for a weapon. They aim and fire at the group, then revel in their kills.
"Look at those dead bastards," one pilot says. "Nice," the other responds.
A wounded man can be seen crawling and the pilots impatiently hope that he will try to fire at them so that under the rules of engagement they can shoot him again. "All you gotta do is pick up a weapon," one pilot says.
A short time later a van arrives to pick up the wounded and the pilots open fire on it, wounding two children inside. "Well, it's their fault for bringing their kids into a battle," one pilot says."

David Mills as Played by Brad Pitt in the motion picture "Se7en":
"You're no messiah. You're a movie of the week. You're a fucking t-shirt, at best."
This logic extends to wingnuts also.
They are just pissed off Republicans, the same way Code Pink was a bunch of pissed off Democrats when Bush was in Office.
We lend them credence when the media talks about them.
As for the shooting over a Easter outfit, that's fucked up.
Mell, you've been killin' lately. Maybe you should have been a journalist, man. - 9:23 PM

"War is a game that men play...
Watching people die...getting killed...just not my thing..."
Agape I feel you I am hoping that maybe folks are moved as I have been for a long time to at least voice their dissent. Write a letter to a congressperson, sign a petition, complain about it at work, support a soldier who has dissented, bring it up as something to discuss or pray about at church attend the next anti-war rally or meeting.
And agape this not just an affair of men many of our daughters are engaged in these wars and many of the daughters and women of Iraqis and Aghans are dying for no good reason.
It may be a game of men but people of good conscie
But do something! This is real life,(game is an ill chosen description) real human beings, real suffering, real dying, real criminality, real children even those doing the killing are going to be ruined for life, in our lifetime.
And we may not be able to stop the carnage, but God or whatever you want to call it or Higher consciousness, morality or whatever demands that those with conscious say something.
This is not Nazi Germany 1942 this is the United States 2010. WE couldn't say anything about the holocaust and maybe folks lulled themselves into thinking well they deserved it or it was somehow justified.
But enough is enough!
King may have been right when he said, "THERE COMES A TIME WHEN SILENCE IS BETRAYAL."
And someone else said:
"all that is needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing"
I think it behooves all those of conscience to let the record show before God and humanity that you were opposed to this thing. - 9:33 PM
I don't think Philly can hold the title on Easter outfits (Easter being a pagan holiday and all...but I digress :)
In the deep south these clothes mean an awful lot to the children...it may be the only time they get a new outfit to wear to church...and the clothes have some sort of pagan pseudo-Christian meaning attached to these clothes....
In the grand scheme of things...I think the Easter clothes are better than teaching them about an Easter Bunny (who brings eggs???)
In my church home I remember a sermon from the Pastor... GOING SLAP OFF... about women coming "up in the church with these hats on thinking they're better than the person they sit next too"...
Needless to say...women wearing church hats was down and stayed down. Now it may be two or three of the older women who still wear their "crowns"...:)
If the older woman's husband "looked" at the younger, finer cousin with shorts on...she could have just dumped some cold water on him :) Men are going to look...that's just what they do...:)

Trapped said:
Mell, you've been killin' lately. Maybe you should have been a journalist, man.
Good one Trapped (lol) actually I am an unemployed one. I still write commentary on occasion for Black Agenda Report (BAR).
I wrote a lot more before I got frustrated with not being able to talk about brother Obama without people going crazy. And BAR turned me off because they came off as kind of arrogant and were kind of impatient with its readers, who didn't figure it all out. I didn't want to get caught up in the backlash so I hung up my pen for a bit. But I am coming back with a vengeance.
And yeah I have worn a lot of hats or should say wear a lot of hats. Journalist/preacher/politicalactivist/community activist/teacher - 9:40 PM
Agape I know what you are talking about. My mother tried to cut a corner one Easter and get me a tailor made suit and it didn't work out so well --the tailor was a friend of my moms, she couldn't quite get the shoulders to stand up --and I caught the rath and ridicule of my peers.
That wasn't all that new though since my poor behind was always behind on the latest styles and it left me to be ridiculed to no end.
It taught me how to play the dozens better than most.
So of course my opinion of all the Easter dressing up is don't waste your money. Jesus the Messiah rose so you didn't have to get all caught up in material things. - 9:49 PM
@ Mell...
When I say a game that men play I am saying that war is something invented by men...not women (although we are all complicit even if we are silent).
And when I say "game"...it is a game played by the wits of men that will never go to a war...send their son to a war...or care what happens to the people that do go to a war.
I advocate for people who have come back from either war that find they have no one to help them move through the system and achieve their goals. I have been doing this for 5 years now along with a friend of mine that happens to be a clinical psychologist. We are the people that see and deal with the affected persons that have been to war. War...killing people...seeing people killed changes a person forever...for the worse.
I cannot in good conscious differentiate my way of helping between a person who chose to go to war and a person who did not. I don't sit in judgement of people...everyone has free will and the freedom to choose (if they are not in jail or prison).
My job is to be of service where and when I am told by my God...and I do so happily :)
I will say this...The American Counseling Association has researched the affects of women in combat (new for this war) and discovered that PTSD, TBI's, depression, suicide etc have higher percentages in women than men. It is attributed to the levels of testosterone in men which lead to deeper levels of aggression.
So how you doing tonight anyway? :)

mellaneous, I've always found BAR to rather arrogant in general, no different that Democracy Now or some folks I know in the Green Party -- pompous left-wing Tea Party wannabes too strident in their ideology to engage in honest discourse with others and too arrogant to realize that almost nobody cares what they think.
But I would agree with agape, you're a talented and insightful writer. And I also agree that you can't really criticize Obama without attracting the fawning groupie-like Obama-holics or the nuerotic, irrational Obama-haters alike. Which is unfortunate, since Obama has many good and a lot of bad points and careful analysis, follow-up with smart campaign, could bring about a better government. - 10:03 PM
@ Mell:
I was just discussing with a young mother (white) with 2 young boys about how do you raise children in these days and times...
You don't want to spoil your children with material things...but some things are just a necessity.
I helped raise my nephew (now in grad school) and my niece (just turned 13) and I still have trouble navigating what to teach them and what not. Inevitably it all comes down to each unique situation that brings on a discussion. You have to throw in some old and mix it with the new.
In a nutshell...you're mom was trying hard to let you look like all the other kids so you wouldn't get teased. Imagine...all she had to worry about then was you fitting in with an Easter suit. Moms now...Bless their hearts.
~agape2010~ - 10:05 PM
Agape I am doing good thanks. You know me always advocating for the cause.
Didn't mean to imply that you saw war as a game. Glad you are doing your thing.
I like what you said here:
"I advocate for people who have come back from either war that find they have no one to help them move through the system and achieve their goals. I have been doing this for 5 years now along with a friend of mine that happens to be a clinical psychologist.

I don't know anon. Do you care to expound on that for us?
There's nothing to expound on. He's not from Kenya, so why would she say it's his home country. it doesn't make any sense. - 10:22 PM
I think Michelle meant Kenya was his home country in a metaphysical sort of way, not literally. Am I the only one that remembers O-Man didn't attend his Grandma's funeral? That's not cool...

I imagine the woman has to be sitting inside of a jail cell wondering if it was worth it. How in the world can an argument over the manner in which someone is dressed lead to murder?
On Easter Sunday, at that!
Had to have been a deeper issue between the two women, somewhere in the mix. - 10:33 PM
Am I the only one that remembers O-Man didn't attend his Grandma's funeral? That's not cool...
He obviously feels more for his African heritage. After all he named his book "Dreams of My Father," even though his father abandoned him. Yet he didn't attend his grandmother's funeral, the same woman-along with his white grandfather-who primarily raised him. How's that for thanks? - 10:34 PM
Can I get in on this McGowan thing...:)
What are the chances she will be able to get into Congress? Well...if she hooks up with Haley Barber she stands a good chance. But she cannot depend on the black vote...not enough blacks voters...her agenda on education...where was she when they spoke about merging an HSBC with a University in Mississippi...what is her position on health care with respect to Mississippi having one of the poorest health systems in the nation...she will definitely need those tea partiers...but that can be good or bad...the Repubs have not embraced them as a group as yet...
As an aside I knew her when she came to DC and was worked (1980ish) for the late Jack Valenti...:) But I am sure she will not only not remember me, but will deny knowing me and will not receive a message from me...we have opposing POV's :p

That reminds me of someone I know, MR. Maybe she will post 100 times tomorrow.
"He obviously feels more for his African heritage. After all he named his book "Dreams of My Father," even though his father abandoned him. Yet he didn't attend his grandmother's funeral, the same woman-along with his white grandfather-who primarily raised him. How's that for thanks?"
Yeah, Anon. If he would have went, numbnuts like you would have said he was pandering. Then they would have shown a pic of her on TV, and you would have have howled: "Conspiracy! They want us to believe that this African had a white grandmother!!!!!"

trapped in sc,
That's a very intelligent reply. You didn't actually address anything at all. Why name a book after your piece of shit dead-beat dad, and then not go to the funeral of the woman who raised you? It's just plain disrespectful behavior. - 10:44 PM
All of these Black "Tea Party" conservatives will find out, like Hip-Hop Mike is finding out, is that they are a box checked. That republican diversity is a bizarro version of diversity.
Watch how many of them actually win in the primary, much less get elected.
There is a reason there are no black republicans in congress. They don't trust us, and we sure as fuck don't trust them. - 10:44 PM

Answer the question Trapped? I believe the guy is a citizen. I voted for him. But I have to call bullshit when I see it.
Can I digress for a minute...about the FBI and Tiger...it seems that the eastern media is saying that Tiger had some death threats...but that's not what they're saying in the south...I can't imagine why :)
But then...news travel from east to west...

I know people who were forced to learn Gaelic & Irish dancing as children although they were third & fourth generation Irish-Americans. Ask a white American, "What are you?" & they're as likely to say Italian or German or Irish or Polish or Swedish or some hyphenated combination as American. The President is a fortunate man because he knows exactly where his African family lives.
Why won't Obama release his original bith certificate? Is it because he wasn't born in Hawaii? Probably not, but who knows? Is is because Barack Obama Sr. is not his real father? This is more likely, and might explain why Obama Sr. completely abandoned his namesake. Poor little half-black bastard.
- Jody said...
Anon.... (the multiple of them).First, Michelle was talking about country in the same way many proud Irish, Germans, etc, refer to their family's homelands... as in ancestry... and second, he did not attend the funeral that was arranged by the community. He DID go back to Hawaii for the funeral for the family. And, when he did, it was the same wingnuts who accused him of ONLY going to Hawaii to forge his birth certificate....
Face it, those that hate Obama will believe anything negative about him, regardless of who is saying it because they need to justify that hatred.
And, LOGIC should tell you that if our media LOVES anything, it is a juicy, personal scandal... As Bill Clinton and John Edwards has shown us, no one is immune, including the president or presidential hopefuls.
So, that there are people who really believe he is a foreigner, hiding his foreign birth in this age of scandals being the collective favorite past time, is beyond all comprehension.
Therefore, I would assert it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to believe this is true... what is far more plausible is white, hot hatred that clouds all reason, facts, logic and common sense. Is that clear enough for you?? - 11:05 PM
- La♥audiobooks said...
"Is is because Barack Obama Sr. is not his real father? This is more likely, and might explain why Obama Sr. completely abandoned his namesake. Poor little half-black bastard."
Well what does that say about his poor white mother? And regardless of who his father is, it still doesn't change his American status. So you're still getting no where.
Furthermore, I thought his birth certificate status was authenticated by Hawaii, but you people are the ones who still refuse to accept it. - 11:06 PM
This is exactly what is going to be addressed formally in the courts with respect to what the "founding fathers" meant when they wrote this in the constitution. I have been hearing the arguments begin already. Strict constitutionalists say that if that were true...anyone could come to America and reap the benefits of what is doled out in America...this is what they will use against the peoples they want out...spanish speaking people.
For the record...I have no opinion one way or the other. :)
~agape2010~ - 11:07 PM
The media has covered for this cipher of a man since day one. There has been no substantive examination of Obama's history. All we know is what Bill Ayer's wrote in Obama's ghostwritten autobography "Dreams of My Father".
@ Jody...
i would have had to copy and paste your whole response just to say...
oops! There it is! :)

I don't know exactly what you mean by that last statement, but if you're saying what I'm thinking you're saying, then me too :p - 11:12 PM
Obama's real father could be Frank Marshall Davis, who wrote about raping an underage white girl named "Anne".
Davis, who was a good friend of Obama's grandfather, became Barry's "mentor" during his adolescence.
Obama's poem "Pop" alludes to being sexually abused by Davis as a teenager. - 11:15 PM

Obama was a well-known gay boy in college.
Frank Marshall Davis was Obama's biological father and communist mentor. What more do you need to know? That says it all for you.

They are both men. They are both black. That is where the resemblence begins and ends.. and you know, I am white and I am the one that is supposed to think "you all look alike!" -;)) - 11:42 PM
I guess I just don't dwell on things that do not have a direct affect/effect on me...if Obama wants to call the Queen Mother his father...what do I care?
I would never get into any conversation that involves any of the anons...the definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior and expecting a different outcome...the outcome with the anons will always be the same and I don't do insanity :)
As usual...it's been real! TTYL :)

Ok Agape, I see what you mean by encouraging the crazies, they all come out one behind each other. The more desperate they become they end up saying the darnedest of things.
You know, I really don't care who his father is, but I mean if I had to pick one... :p

@anon: "I don't get it. Why would Michelle say Kenya is his 'home country?'"
The answer is simple, and it's not a gotcha moment, nor a conspiratorial treasure chest.
It was Obama's father's home, and both Obama and his father (now deceased) have a rich family history there:
"Sarah Obama, his 86-year-old grandmother, beamed as she hugged relatives, who were jumping up and down with joy [after Obama won the White House].
"Soon afterwards, the Kenyan president, Mwai Kibaki, became one of the first world leaders to congratulate Obama, and declared Thursday a national holiday for the country.
"The victory of Senator Obama is our own victory because of his roots here in Kenya," Kibaki said. 'As a country, we are full of pride for his success.'" guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 5 November 2008 10.04 GMT
Michelle Obama's acknowledgment of her husband's ties to Kenya, won't stop the incessant tongue wagging, disputing his birth place, that has followed after him, first, as candidate Obama, and next, as President Obama, like a malevolent stalker intent on doing harm when the moment is ripe.
You know, it's not impossible to have your heart in two places at the same time.
And we all know: Home is where the heart resides. - 12:32 AM
Your explanation of birthright citizenship is not quite correct. The gender of the parent granting citizenship is not important.
First, he is covered under the Citizenship Clause of 14th Ammendment. This is not dependent upon the citizenship status of his parents, since he was born in Hawaii.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Second, Obama is a citizen even if he was born outside the US. Whether that qualifies as "natural born" for election purposes would have to be determined by the Supremes. That, to the chagrin of the Birthers, ain't gonna happen.
If one parent is a US citizen and the other parent is not, the child is a citizen if
* the US citizen parent has been "physically present"[6] in the US before the child's birth for a total period of at least five years, and
* at least two of those five years were after the US citizen parent's fourteenth birthday.
All of this is beside the point ultimately, because the Birthers are peddling crocks of conspiracy theories. It would all be laughable were it not for the traction they have gained with the Fox News demographic. As H.L. Mencken famously noted, "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."
Then again, there are some in that same crowd that think Queen Elizabeth, amongst others, is a shape shifting reptile. - 1:05 AM
I found this blog by the posting of UBM on a semi-right wing blog. There was a raging discussion in 2007 on where Obama was born…. Hawaii, Canada. Kenya, and UBM was doing his best to show how crazy the crazies where.
I didn't have a clue who UBM was but agreed with his postings. I clicked on his name and was directed to his blog. He had this blog along with others listed so I checked out your blog and have been visiting ever since.
I don't always agree with you but at times I've seen things from a different angle because of you and your posters. Damn, I miss reading UBM's post. RIP.

I love to see Black folks dressed up on Easter Sunday, and Sunday in general. Like R. Ellison I want to be one of those people who "dress in their Sunday clothes everyday".
As far as clapping one for wearing the the wrong outfit, that is a bit extreme, though I could merk a fool for wearing some Kenneth Cole square toed joints. - 2:20 AM

Whoever thinks that President Obama looks like Frank Marshal Davis, my advice to them is that they hurry up and go see their eye doctor. Smh!
They do not look alike or even have a slight resemblance. The only exception is that both are black men.
When it is all said and done, a lot of folks who are out to disgrace and embarrass the President at all cost are going to be looking stupid in the future because it is not gonna work. So be it! - 3:33 AM

I was born and raised in california but my parents are from india. I will never live anywhere but here, but i refer to India as my homeland/motherland all the time. Many of my friends do the same thing. I think this is one thing most white people don't understand.
- GrannyStandingforTruth said...
This is what I discern regarding President Obama, Tiger Woods, and even Michael Steele. Let me add to that list all influential black men. Yup, and I said Steele too because he is still a black man and so is Tiger whether he wants to be or not. This is one of the white man's game that is older than me that is being played now.
Michael was nothing to them but a flunkie. When they have no use for their flunkies anymore, the next step is always discard them. However, it is never done without first emasculating them. Michael thought that he was in the mix with them so to speak. LOL! He even defended them against another black man when they were using racist epithet towards President Obama. Now, they that they don't need him and are calling for his dismissal, his eyes are opening up and he is seeing what the real deal is. However, he is reaping what he helped sow against his own black brother. Yup, he gets to feel what his black brother the President might have felt when they treated him in a hateful racist manner. And Tiger gets to feel and know that denouncing his blackness does not help him escape his black identity in America. He is still a black man in the white man's eyes and no words of denounciation or nothing else will ever change that.
This is the modern day emasculation of black men. The plan is to strip them of their black manhood, humiliate, embarrass them, rob them of their humanity, and dignity just like they did during slavery. Some things stay the same, they've just learned to be a little more subtle and clever with it. History does repeat itself, if you let it.
The problem with black folks is they don't know how to stick together. Every other group of people know how to do that when push comes to shove, but black folks. United we stand, divided we fall or should I say fail. However, blacks were programmed to act that way, and until they wake up and deprogram themselves, well, it is going to continue to be reruns but in a newer version.

What she said. I'm surprised at how much I'm missing reading his blog everyday.
About the hats, I guess I'm out of touch with current Black church fashion because I was surprised to see that the women going into the Easter service the Obamas attended earlier this week were not wearing hats. I thought the hats got pulled out at least for Easter. - 9:26 AM

obama's kenyan granny said he was born in kenya long ago...i believe her
please tell me more about the poem?
i am not a conspiracy theorist
i am a conspiracy scholar
there is a VAST difference....
it is precisely because hobama nazis lose it when ANY truth is told about him that all rebels must keep telling them

but they somehow refuse to believe he would ever lie about one minor insignificant birth document...a tiny drop of water in an ocean of visible and blatant lies???
it is akin to knowing that mj brazenly lied about his countless mutilating surgeries which any LP cover can prove instantly...yet believeing that mj did not also lie about his glaring skin bleaching!...

- Hathor said...
For most people older than thirty five, the birth certificate issued by the hospital is worthless. When my son was born over thirty years ago, we filled our forms at the hospital and sever weeks later we got a state issued birth certificate. That birth certificate looked very similar to the one the the state of Hawaii issued to the press. Everyone now has to have that state issued birth certificate to legally transact any business. That one you got when you were born from the hospital or written in a Bible isn't worth squat.
When that old lady at one of the health care forums, talk about her birth certificate; she would not have been able to get a drivers license, passport, a job or even run for president using her original birth certificate. But still she insist it proves her citizenship with it.
I think a lot of people are backtracking for their ignorance, for I am pretty sure that a lot of people who bought that bull about the birth certificate didn't think that Hawaii was a state or that it was a state when the President was born. So now they can't admit that and have to find another reason he is not a citizen. - 10:38 AM

It was Obama's father's home, and both Obama and his father (now deceased) have a rich family history there:
Too bad it wasn't that family that raised him and kept a roof over his head.

- Jody said...
AB... would that be the black granny whose translation was cut off, and then was mistranslated, and then said repeatedly he was born in Hawaii???
And, Larry Sinclair.. really? You are going to cite Larry Sinclair?? The same Larry Sinclair who has been convicted of fraud, numerous times. The same Larry Sinclair who held a press conference to "prove his claims" at the National Press Club and then could produce absolutely not one shred of evidence, other than him saying it was so... including the name, date, or documentation of the limo service.
This is what I mean when I stated earlier that those who hate Obama will repeat any claim, no matter how absurd to justify their hatred. AB, you have made it abundantly clear you HATE Obama. Fine.
I hate Obama's policies in Afghanistan. I hate his decision to open the coasts for off-shore drilling. I hate his absolute refusal to aggressively go after the banks. That said, I do not need to demonize his very existence to disagree with his policies. And, I do not disagree with everything he has done. Just yesterday he changed the US Policy towards Nuclear Non-Proliferation, significantly, he declared we would not use nukes, even if we were attacked with non-nuke weapons... a departure from The Shrub.. he also secured significant reduction agreements with Russia.... So, not all good, and not all bad, kinda like one would expect from a politician.
Ok, I am back to work.. I am done. - 11:54 AM

Okay TC to whom were you referring? Usually posters here refer to me as MR or RM so hence the confusion. I appreciate your response, however. I am tired of getting into it when I visit here and was likely being defensive. Apologies to you for shooting off at the mouth.

"I mean, what's the elections? You know, two guys, same background, wealth, political influence, went to the same elite university, joined the same secret society where you're trained to be a ruler - they both can run because they're financed by the same corporate institutions.
At the Democratic Convention, Barack Obama said, 'only in this country, only in America, could someone like me appear here.' Well, in some other countries, people much poorer than him would not only talk at the convention - they'd be elected president. Take Lula. The president of Brazil is a guy with a peasant background, a union organizer, never went to school, he's the president of the second-biggest country in the hemisphere. Only in America? I mean, there they actually have elections where you can choose somebody from your own ranks. With different policies. That's inconceivable in the United States."

Why can't you just disagree with a person without belittling them? Alicia, your vitriol is unnecessary to productive discussions. Seriously you don't have to show your prowess by being rude to others. I said that to that troll who was bothering you last week and now I'm saying it to you regarding UTS.
You might disagree with him and me or whomever you deem a homo hating racist. And that's your right to disagree. But why the harsh insults? He didn't insult you; just asked you to prove an assertion you made. You ask nothing less of other posters. C'mon. - 12:29 PM

A lot of pundits called GWB Bubba as well. Even examining your comment above referring to Bubba as Clinton, he still did not leave us with a surplus. The budget was balanced but don't get it twisted, the NATIONAL DEBT was still on the order of trillions of dollars from Reagan, Carter, Nixon's snafu taking us off the gold standard and the remnants of debt from the FDR and LBJ programmes- not to mention the WWII, Korean and Vietnam war funds.
Balancing the budget and leaving a surplus is a set of terms that were misunderstood. Clinton did not magically erase our trillion dollars of national debt when he 'balanced the budget'. Balancing the budget simply means that, balancing the budget. The so called surplus was no surplus either.
You are into Bilderberger conspiracy theories ala Alex Jones, it would seem. Why not make the analysis more robust by looking at another perspective. This is from the National Review. - 12:36 PM

So it's okay to police a troll that insults you but its not okay to police you when you commit the same infraction? Your double standards are quite telling. If you believe in fairness, you will comport yourself with the same respect that you ask of others.
Instead, you want people to respect you and be reasonable but you don't return the favor. That isn't right.
Blogging is about sharing perspective and we can disagree. I am not sure you understand the concept. You tend to demonize people that disagree with you and then rationalize calling them names and degrading them.
That has to stop. Right here.
You are capable of stating your opinions without being rude I think. Aren't you?
If you look at the comments from yesterday and indeed most days I've never been rude to you. You can disagree with someone without insulting them. - 12:40 PM
- LACoincidental said...
MR, trapped was referring to me, as another unwilling sparring partner of you-know-who. No harm no foul. But we all can agree to the sentiment.
And speak of which, AB, you once again proved my whole theory that "if Obama was accused of being an alien Cyborg, Alicia Banks would demand that the President prove he didn't have circuit board in his hind quarters".
You're looking for the man's birth certificate after its been proven over and over that the man was born and raised in Hawaii?
As Jody pointed out, you simply don't like Obama as a person and would frankly pull at anything out your behind to "prove" the man is the spawn of Satan. He's done some good, a lot of awful stuff but he's been in office for less than two years. And frankly, he's a politician, he's just a man.
So how about you say something positive? Who would you rather see in office? What better ideas do you have than what are offered?
The mike is yours Alicia (though you'd snag it anyway) -- don't go into how Obama is evil, just state clearly what policies that you would like to see implemented and what political figure would be able to carry them out. - 12:57 PM

Yes Person of Interest you are right. I've seen you bait her time and time again. Do you get pleasure from teasing her and unleashing her on the rest of us?
Regarding you Alicia Banks, your statements do absolutely nothing to dispute what I've said. If you want to think of me as a hypocrite or a homo hater, that is your right. But my comments generally aren't rude and when I've been a jerk, I've apologized for it.
YOU don't seem to understand how to separate wheat from chaff. This is a typical thought distortion called either or thinking or Black and white thinking. Either someone is the devil incarnate or someone is an angel...There are many intermediate states in between Alicia. Sadly though, I don't think you see that. You know I speak the truth above.
If FN told you the same, you would have praised him as a Black king. Your hypocrisy and grandstanding is astounding. You accuse me of hating Jews then in the next breath you quote INFOWARS as a link?
It's no state secret that Alex Jones believes that the world is run by a secret order of human hating Jews. You do yourself a disservice by linking there, given the semetic bent you seem to have.
Learn from your mistakes and acknowledge them. Self reflection is necessary and if you are being honest with yourself, you'd see that you've been very rude to people here just for disagreeing with you.
There was another troll who was very very rude to you and you didn't deserve that, which is why I said something to it.

It is perfectly fine for you to act rude to people and degrade them so long as they said something with which you do not agree.
Your psychology is interesting because it appears you are a remorseless zealot.

You can throw insults about all you want. Any sane person that reads what I write, knows I am generally sincere unless I am joking around.
Saying that a group might be victimized by prejudice but is not oppressed is not racist in the least. The same can be said about Black people outside of the prison system.

That is why you are such an angry person who posts mean things on the internet attacking people. You honestly think that you can determine who has a soul and who doesn't? By saying that someone doesn't have a soul you are dehumanizing them so that you can talk badly about them as though they aren't human. I got your number sweetie pie.
Regarding Alex Jones and his associations, I've followed him for quite some time...some of the stuff he says is true but other stuff is borderline crazy. In particular he has had Mr. Tex Marrs on his site a few times. He cosigns with this man and beneath the veneer of civility, this man really doesn't like Jews and confuses Zionism with Judaism. See here for your proof. - 2:43 PM

Such as being rude to anybody that disagrees with you. Such as posting hundreds of comments on blogs with names such as piss colored, feces colored, comments about birracial people, light complexioned Blacks and am I forgetting something?
Oh right, comments about Hobama and that everyone who says a whit about gays or Jews are persona non grata but its okay for you to call people octoloon etc etc etc etc - 2:46 PM

- M. Rigmaiden said...
Alicia sorry you took offense at me and UTS's OPINIONS. But I still apologize for nothing. BTW my husband is Black and German Jewish and I told him every single thing I typed. He laughed.
His response was "You know, I wonder if half the people that blog are mentally unstable and the others are unemployed or students." We both opined that there would be an interesting study done on the mental health of bloggers.
He also said this "You know in a part of our country's history Jews were oppressed but now they aren't anymore. They have a lot of power and legal rights. I don't think Blacks are oppressed anymore either because we can legally assert our rights...but I do think Mexicans are oppressed still..."
My husband is a wise man. - 2:52 PM
- M. Rigmaiden said...
Alicia I don't speak for God or the universe. Just myself. I can take quotes from people but don't claim them as my own.
As to your Grandfather, that is a very very sad story and I am sorry to hear it. On the other hand, he sounded like a very great man who accomplished a lot in his short life.
When people made comments about Jewish power in this country the statements were not made to assassinate his character nor anyone else's.
You have to stop taking everything so personally... but I know it is hard when you are reflecting and grieving so hope you feel better. - 3:00 PM

u go AB! more and more blacks are waking up to the Obama Fraud (OF). OF may care about somebody but it ain't blacks! he is about to give amnesty to millions of illegals, OF supports abortion which, in the black community, is well, in a word, the latest form of genocide and he supports equal rights for sodomites which already plagues the brothas worst than joblessness.
sistas have a hard enough time as it is w/o the OF.
plus, i saw larry sinclair's press conf and read his sworn statement to the Chi police; they both are very compelling and credible ef proving OF.

Again avoiding the question. And you'd vote for DLC corporate flunkies who escalated this financial nightmare we're facing by repealing Glass-Steagal? The same Bill Clinton who oversaw the execution of a learning impaired Black man to score points with Reagan Democrats? The same Clintons who orchestrated the horrific Iraqi Sanctions?
Next you'll say that Palin was more qualified than his O-ness because she served as a newbie Governor in a state where the moose and seals outnumber people. Wait you did say that nonsense before. Damn.
Like MR said, please be consistent in your logic. I don't think the Clintons are horrible people, but to say that they are more noble than Obama is going a bit far.
As for goin4jugular, fam, the biggest welfare queens are the military, the banks, old white people and knocked up white girls -- in that order. For your ignorant, sexist homophobic rantings, don't you realize that AB is lefty black lesbian?
You're either an agitator or an idiot. - 3:15 PM

There was no one more angry after the Dukies won than Mr. Field (and his faithful readers). I'm not even a Duke fan, but after they won I remember briefly thinking of this blog because of how racially immature the readers are. I knew they'd be upset. :)

I happened to watch morning Joe early this morning, and they were talking about how the government is actually making money off of the bankers now and the economy is turning around because of that stimulus. Manufacturing jobs are up and so are a lot of things. This is what they talked about this morning. So actually, the stimulus helped saved the economy and was needed to stop the depression.

Did you just ask how did the dismantling of Glass-Steagal caused our economic crash?! Are you freakin' kidding me?
Alicia -- for a proposed 'former child prodigy' you can be really dense. The reason why Obama had to fork over $750B to prop up the gambling addicts in the finance industry is because Clinton removed the New Deal banking law that banned commercial banks and investment firms from existing as one entity. There was a pretty thick wall between your local bank and Wall Street. (More like a rice paper panel in a japanese whore house after Reagan and Pappy Bush got through, but whatever.) Then Clinton hoping to score brown points for 'bipartisanship' remove the final barrier -- allowing banks to bet your house and your pension on long bets and tie your home loan into complex financial algorithms that would send your mortgage rate through the roof because your neighbor built a swimming pool -- or just thought about building one.
Again, vote for who you want. But please stop pretending to be more knowledgeable about issues than you really are. I'd expect such a rookie mistake from some Tea Bag goober, but not from the 'award winning educator and radio personality'. - 3:36 PM

Well Going4jugular, I believe illegal Mexicans still oppressed. They can get federal tax ID numbers and buy houses but the minute they are reported to immigration all of that goes out of the window. Imagine if you bought a house and worked your ass off twenty four seven. They let the loan get approved for your home and you are paying taxes each year. Then immigration comes seizes your property and deports you. That is disenfranchisement of the tallest order.
Mexicans and Blacks are disproportionately represented in the prison system for NON VIOLENT CRIMES. As I said before the spheres of oppression in the USA lie in the prison industrial system.
Once a felon is released, except in a couple of states he cannot vote. Ever. That rule in and of itself disenfranchises MILLIONS of people and will continue to do so until it is changed. - 3:39 PM

And Alicia, LAC is more than correct. You acknowledge the Bretton Woods conference and the Bilderburgers. Why can't you acknowledge what he is saying; that repealing Glass Steagal was one of the most financially irresponsible things we ever allowed!
Furthermore, I think you'd agree that fractional reserve banking has truly oppressed the lot of ALL Americans and put us into debt peonage. This type of oppression is the most insidious because it is hidden in arcane rules and structures that we don't fully understand and decision making processes that we aren't privy to.
Regarding calling you names, I don't ever recall calling you out of your name, but I do recall you saying that I was piss colored, a drag king, that my husband was on the down lo for being with me and so forth.
Yet and still I pray for you to become happy and at peace; I say this prayer for myself and family.
With all that you post; the name calling the hypersensitivity to specific topics, it is clear that you are dealing with sadness in your heart.
Despite the name calling, you still direct comments towards me so you must enjoy something about the interaction. Same with LAC, Jody and anyone else who has engaged you.
You claim that I'm feigning sincerity acting like Mother Teresa but no, I am a complex person who makes mistakes too.That is why I am urging you to calm down and stop getting so worked up over OPINIONS. - 3:44 PM
- alicia banks said...
lacking sanity & dignity:
guess why i do not attack u to slay obama?
because i do not have to:
Obama himself has decried the way Glass-Steagall was undone, saying it left a regulatory vacuum that contributed to the current crisis.
"A regulatory structure set up for banks in the 1930s needed to change," then-candidate Obama said in a March 27, 2008, speech at New York City's Cooper Union. "But by the time the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed in 1999, the $300 million lobbying effort that drove deregulation was more about facilitating mergers than creating an efficient regulatory framework."
Obama referred to a campaign by companies such as Citigroup Inc., Merrill Lynch & Co. and Aetna Inc. in the late 1990s to overturn the law. Its demise allowed banks, insurance companies and securities firms to integrate and compete with one another.
so why did hobama gift them with TRILLIONS more to keep in theior coffers while jobs and homes STILL bleed?????
EVERYTHING hobama has lamented he has made worse...especially our indebted depressed economy!!!!
wake up!!!! - 3:46 PM
The Alicia Banks Troll is tiresome. Why won't it go away? Why?!

u do not recall all that? - 3:48 PM
- M. Rigmaiden said...
Granny, I hate to say this, but I believe the news you listened to was incorrect. The bailouts increased the amount of money in the banks coffers then they turned around and increased the number of debt collection lawsuits they usually initiate. So the question should be asked, if the banks are making profits where are they coming from? FLEECING CONSUMERS via NSF and overdraft fees, via fees for maintaining a checking account with YOUR money, by charging humonguous interest rates on cards because the so called credit card reform that will soon kick in is pretty much impotent.
Unless some politician like Ron Paul has the balls to demand an auditing of the FED and its removal from currency monopoly, what we are seeing will only be temporary.
Until we can rid ourselves of our national debt, we will continue to see these cycles. - 3:49 PM
- LACoincidental said...
So, the guys who started the fire are completely innocent but the guy who tried to stop the raging inferno is the bad guy?! You really do belong with the Tea Party -- as you are detached from logic and reality.
AB, as someone pointed out, why bother? Arguing with you is like taking on the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail -- we just collective chopped off your legs and arms and you're still railing off declaring, "Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!".
You don't know when to quit and can't figure out that most of the time, you're talking out what paranoid madness that passes for your mind.
Whatever, you won't change and its just to ignore you as much as possible.
And by the way, you are what's wrong with the progressive movement -- neurotic egomaniacs more interested in ranting against everything (and rarely making any sense) than actually doing something.
I've met too many people like Alicia Banks in my travel in liberal political circles -- pompous, combative, self-absorbed and delusional. And frankly, that's why I'm hesitant to get back into the fray.

Alicia, I did not call you names. I DO think you have psychiatric issues, however and I am serious as a heart attack about that. As to comments about your body odor I think I apologized but if not, I am sorry for saying that. I was put in a defensive position and said things that I somewhat regret. I don't erase those comments though because I can own up to them and realize that I am a work in progress.
And you?
Hey, what I'm trying to get you to see is that you don't have to keep insulting people. You can change your behavior and channel it in more positive ways.

MR, I think we can agree to disagree on the success of the bailouts. Frankly, most of my friends in finance marked how our commercial banks would utterly crash without the bailouts. But I've been wrong before.
But I wholeheartedly agree that the Fed needs to independent audited. My question hasn't Ron Paul and Ralph Nader joined forces to make this a bigger issue?

pray tell "doc":
what psychiatric isssues are indicated by these simultaneous symptoms you incessantly display:
LAc - if u spewed even a modicum of wisdom u would get some luv too. i could be an agitator and an idiot but u would still be just, well, u - sniffin' obama's jock straps. just bc i don't support preferred rights for sodomites and illegals does not mean i hate sodomites and illegals and i certainly don't fear conversing with them in civil tones nor agreeing with them when they are right. please, grow up.
mr - i am not unsympathetic to the plight of the mexican in Mexico and can understand the search for a better life. however, the price to accomodate them all is too high - a borderless country is no country. i do agree with u about the prison sys - the entire judicial sys is a hot mess. but u may want to check your assertion that only a few states allow convicted felons to vote again - felons may not be able to serve on juries and carry weapons but more than a few states allow voting rights restored almost automatically while other states first require a few hoops be jumped thru. in any event, i appreciate the civil dialogue. - 4:21 PM

lacking credibility:
how can u hate the fed reserve and love hobama???
hobama is the best prez ever and has been a blessing to the fed reserve which has also WORSENED!!!
President Obama's plan to give the privately-owned and unaccountable Federal Reserve complete regulatory oversight across the entire U.S. economy, which is likely to be enacted before the end of the year, will officially herald the beginning of a new form of government in the United States – an ultra-powerful banking dictatorship controlled by a small gaggle of shadowy and corrupt elitists.
"And the banks — hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created — are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place," Durbin said.
How simultaneously dangerous and ridiculous it is that the Federal Reserve is given more authority to oversee the economy. This is the same privately run entity that refused to comply with congressional demands for transparency and disclose the destination of trillions dollars in bailout funds. It is the same privately owned entity that has withheld internal memos, in spite of freedom of information act requests. It is the same private entity, run for the most part by European banking elites, that has arrogantly refused to tell Senators and Congressmen which banks were in receipt of government loans.
The government is ready to hand over everything to a monolithic private corporation and a gaggle of bastard banker offspring, that have gobbled up an amount close to the entire GDP of the country in taxpayers' money and figuratively stuck the middle finger up regarding questions over where that money has gone.

I feel more comfortable with Kucinich than I do Ron Paul who said in his book that blacks are animals and that Martin Luther King Day is "National Hate Whitey Day", and that Nelson Mandela was a communist terrorist thug. Ron Paul is instrumental in putting out and was distributing the white supremacist literature and a lot of the anti-government theories. In addition, Paul exhibits paranoid conspiracy driven anti-Semitic, Homophobic, racist views from the John Birch Society. Ron Paul is a dangerous man who hides behind a persona of a good decent man with strong political views, but he is anything but that. - 4:50 PM

Some new job posts are open at Sony Santa Monica and their 'Qualifications' section reveal an interesting few teases on a new project at the Sony developer, responsible for God of War. A 'Senior Combat Designer' and 'Level Designer' are advertised and the first mentions someone with experience with 1st or 3rd person shooters and "vehicle combat" would be a plus. Are the Santa Monica crew looking to put together an open world action game? Possibly, if the experience with those types of things as "a plus", is any indication. The two jobs posts were found on Gamasutra, thanks to NeoGAF. The following were bulleted under Senior Combat Designer: • Experience working with, developing or designing for a 1st and/or 3rd person shooter genre a plus. • Experience working with, developing or designing vehicle combat in a game also a plus. • Experience in designing or contributing to the development of an "open world" game is a plus. A first/third person shooter with vehicle combat in an open world? That's id Software's RAGE isn't it? Will Sony be introducing an all-new IP or turning to something already in their closet? |

England's Mumford & Sons have quickly become an international sensation by mining the same musical territory as North Carolina's excellent Avett Brothers. While the band's lineup suggests they are true folkies their high energy music is frequently not for the faint of heart. Together the quartet plays a unique synthesis of rock and folk.
Leader Marcus Mumford's down home banjo picking and Winston Marshall's dobro are ably assisted by Ted Dwane on bass and Ben Lovett on keyboards.
The four mates don't play their instruments in quiet coffee houses where you can hear a feather drop on the floor during a set. Instead, the Mumford men play music with a kick that is readily apparent on Babel, their successful followup to 2009's rookie release, Sigh No More. They're also serious lyricists with a profound confessional tone so fans of singer-songwriters will also find something appealing in their music too.
Babel doesn't suffer from the sophomore jinx. Good songs are everywhere, especially on the album's deluxe edition that adds three extra tracks to the original twelve. Among them is an excellent cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" featuring a guest appearance by dobro player extraordinaire Jerry Douglas. It's an interesting choice that indicates there aren't many light lyrical moments on a Mumford album. "Broken Crown," "Whispers In the Dark," the boisterous title tune, and Babel's big hit, "I Will Wait," are as rowdy as acoustic music can get.
Producer Markus Dravs, who led the way on Arcade Fire's Grammy winning album, The Suburbs, as well as a couple of discs for Coldplay, has manned the sessions for both of the folk-rockers' full length records.
With Babel, Mumford & Sons prove they are a band for people who have always loved rock music but just can't seem to wrap their arms around much of the stuff on the current rock scene.

Katz passes one milestone, gears up for big playoff push
His journey began in 1978 at La Quinta, took a brief detour to the Pacific Northwest before finally finding its current course at Westminster.
Lions girls basketball coach Dick Katz has won everywhere he's gone, and last week he reached his latest milestone, earning career win No. 600 in a Golden West League game against Ocean View.
"It means I'm getting old," Katz joked. "I've had the opportunity to coach some great players over the years. It recognizes all of their efforts, as well as the time my wife and I have put into this."
With his head coaching career officially beginning in the late '70s, Katz eventually took over the girls program at Westminster in 1991. After a four-year stint (2006-09) at Valencia, he returned to coach the Lions in 2010.
Westminster has won four consecutive Golden West League titles since 2012, and are closing in on making it five in a row. The Lions hold a two-game lead with four league outings remaining.
With the Lions' primary goal - winning their league - nearly in hand, the focus will soon shift to its second objective – winning a CIF title.
"I really think we have the kind of ball club that can make a run," Katz said. "You always have to get a little luck along the way, and you never know how the bracket is going to shape up. But we've gotten good post play and have some athletic wings.
"This might be the last opportunity I have to do something special."
