Mrs Romney to Americans – You Guys are All Losers

You guys are a bunch of losers. Tough luck, that you missed out on having Mitt treat you and the country as one of his Bain Capital victims.

Sidenote: Parden my interpretation, but when Mrs Romney (sorry, I cannot remember her first name and I have no time to go look it up. It’s really not that important.) went on Fox News and declared that America lost out because Mittens did not win the presidency, that is what came to my mind.

This is what she said. “I really believe this, you know, we lost, but truly the country lost by not having Mitt as president.”

White Powder Scare At Hotels Near Super Bowl Stadium

Bomb squads and hazardous material teams fanned out across New Jersey on Friday after packages containing a suspicious white powder were delivered to as many as seven hotels near the site of the Super Bowl on Friday, according to multiple reports.

Authorities also were testing white powder contained in a letter sent to the Manhattan office of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, law enforcement officials told CNN. The letter opened in the mail room contained white powder, according to law enforcement officials.

No injuries were reported in either case, and NBC 4 reported that none of the New Jersey hotels were hosting the athletes who will be playing at MetLife.

WABC 7 reported the packages went to an Econo Lodge on Washington Avenue in Carlstadt, the Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel on Rutherford Avenue in Rutherford, the Homewood Suites by Hilton on Route 17 in East Rutherford and the Hilton Hasbrouck Heights Meadowlands on Terrace Avenue in Hasbrouck Heights.
No evacuations were ordered, WABC 7 reported.

Gun man Opens Fire on Bus in Brooklyn New York

A beggar opened fire on a city bus in Brooklyn Friday and shot a man who told him had told him to pipe down, police said.

The 46-year-old hothead was asking for money on the B12 as it rolled through Brownsville, police said. The victim told the creep to stop annoying people, and a fight ensued.

As the quarrel escalated, the thug whipped out a gun and fired four times, hitting the 31-year-old victim in the hand about 9:50 a.m., officials and sources said.

The eastbound bus screeched to a halt in front of the 73rd Precinct stationhouse on East New York Ave. An off-duty cop walking out of the stationhouse rushed onto the bus and arrested the suspect, who was trying to flee, police said. Charges against him were pending.

The victim, whose name was not released, was taken to Brookdale University Hospital with non-life-threatening wounds, officials said.

Police recovered a 9-mm. gun from the bus, cops said.

This Billionaire Father Will Pay $130 Million To Man Who Sets His Gay Daughter Straight

Gigi Chao, Sean and Cecil [insert]
Hong Kong socialite Gigi Chao is gay and has married her partner of nine years, Sean Eav. But her union cannot get the blessings of her father Cecil Chao, who is in the midst of a campaign to set his gay daughter straight.

Cecil is offering HK$500 million dollars which he has now doubled ($130 million US) to the lucky man capable of marrying his daughter and making him a proud granddaddy.

Cecil might be in for a rude awakening because apparently, Gigi’s love is not for sale. In this letter to her father, Gigi expressed her love for her dad, but explained that Sean is the only one for her.

Dear Daddy,

I thought the timing was right for us to have a candid conversation.

You are one of the most mentally astute, energetic yet well mannered and hard-working people this humble earth has ever known.

Your confidence, quick wit, and charisma brightens any room you enter.

I love you very much, and I think I can speak for my brothers also, that we have the utmost respect for you as a father and role model in business.

I am sorry that people have been saying insensitive things about you lately. The truth is, they don’t understand that I will always forgive you for thinking the way you do, because I know you think you are acting in my best interests. And we both don’t care if anybody else understands.

As your daughter, I would want nothing more than to make you happy. But in terms of relationships, your expectations of me and the reality of who I am, are not coherent.

I am responsible for some of this misplaced expectation, because I must have misled you to hope there were other options for me. You know I’ve had male lovers in the past, and I’ve had happy, albeit short-lived, relationships. I found myself temporarily happy, buoyed by the freshness, the attention, the interest, of someone physically stronger than myself.

But it was always short-lived, as I quickly lost patience, and felt an indescribable discomfort in their presence. It usually made me frustrated, and I would yearn for my freedom again. I’ve broken a few hearts, hearts of good, honest and loving men, and I’m sorry that it had to be so.

But with Sean, a woman, somehow it was different. I am comfortable and satisfied with my life and completely at ease with her. I know it’s difficult for you to understand how I could feel romantically attracted to a woman; I suppose I can’t really explain it either. It just happens, peacefully and gently, and after so many years, we still love each other very much.

My regret is that you have no idea how happy I am with my life, and there are aspects of my life that you don’t share. I suppose we don’t need each other’s approval for our romantic relationships, and I am sure your relationships are really fantastic too.

However, I do love my partner Sean, who does a good job of looking after me, ensuring I am fed, bathed and warm enough every day, and generally cheering me up to be a happy, jolly girl. She is a large part of my life, and I am a better person because of her.

Now, I’m not asking you to be best of friends; however, it would mean the world to me if you could just not be so terrified of her, and treat her like a normal, dignified human being.

I understand it is difficult for you to understand, let alone accept this truth.

I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out who I am, what is important in my life, who I love and how best to live life, as an expression of all these questions. I am proud of my life, and I would not choose to live it any other way (except also figuring out how to be gentler on the planet).

I’m sorry to mislead you to think I was only in a lesbian relationship because there was a shortage of good, suitable men in Hong Kong.

There are plenty of good men, they are just not for me.

Wishing you happiness.

Patiently yours,

Your daughter, Gigi.

Brain surgeon walks six miles in Alabama snow storm to perform life-saving surgery


Dedicated surgeon: Dr Zenko Hrynkiw walked six miles through a snow storm to perform brain surgery in Birmingham, Alabama

A brain surgeon walked six miles through a snowstorm in Alabama on Tuesday to perform life-saving surgery.

Dr Zenko Hrynkiw was at Brookwood Medical Center in Tuesday morning when he was needed for emergency brain surgery miles away at Trinity Medical Center.

The problem was the sudden snowstorm had locked down traffic, and the neurosurgeon didn’t get farther than a few blocks by vehicle.

‘The cell service was bad so we were fading in and out,’ said Steve Davis, charge nurse in the neuro intensive care unit at Trinity. ‘At one point, I heard him say, “I’m walking.”‘

Davis had alerted authorities, and they were looking for him. There were supposed sightings, but no one could find him.

‘The police were looking for him,’ Davis said.

Hours had gone by since the initial contact in the morning.

‘He finally called me and said, “Where’s the patient? What’s the status?”‘ Davis said. ‘He spoke to the family and went off to surgery.’

It was an emergency surgery for a traumatic brain injury. Hrynkiw is Trinity’s only brain surgeon, Davis said.

‘Without the surgery, the patient would have most likely died,’ Davis said. ‘But he is doing well.’

Traffic nightmare: Weather conditions in the South left many commuters trudging home after abandoning their cars

Davis said he and colleagues at Trinity were estimating the hike to the Montclair Road hospital at about eight miles, although Google Maps puts it at about six. The extreme weather Tuesday has been blamed for five deaths statewide and it stranded untold thousands away from their homes.

‘This just speaks volumes to the dedication of the man,’ Davis said. ‘When I saw him, all I could say was “You are a good man.”‘

Davis said Hrynkiw takes good care of himself and frequently walks for exercise.

The doctor was hardly the only person to talk miles through the storm. Roads around metro Birmingham were still lined with thousands of abandoned cars and trucks on Thursday.

Celebrity Boxing – George Zimmerman vs The Game

The Game will throw his hat in the ring to fight George Zimmerman in the upcoming celebrity boxing match, and he tells TMZ, “I will beat the f**k out of him.”

Zimmerman has agreed to the March 1 celebrity boxing match … the promoter hasn’t selected his opponent, but is taking offers at fightgeorge@hotmail.com.

Game says, “I would not be boxing for me.  I’d be boxing for the legacy of Trayvon Martin and for his family.”

The rapper, who has a tattoo of Trayvon on his leg, says, “I would box him to knock him out,” adding, “I would definitely take pleasure in it.  It’s legal, and I want to show him you can solve your disputes without a weapon.”

Game would definitely have the edge … he’s 6’5″,  and 240 lbs of muscle.

Game on.

This Republican Admits – Our Obamacare Replacement is a Joke

Republicans are trying again to portray that they are a party of responsibility, that they are not just concerned with blocking every single policy the President puts forth.

They are actually on a retreat right now, trying to rebrand themselves and trying to come up with a cohesive message for the American people.

Why you might ask? Because this is election year, and they are trying once again to fool the people into voting for their sorry candidates in the midterns.

Here’s an example of their rebranding efforts, already in full effect.

Over 40 times Republicans have tried and failed to repeal Obamacare, and they have been criticized by the nation for trying to repeal the healthcare law with nothing to replace it with. So the joke now is, they do have a replacement, and they’re hoping you wouldn’t ask any questions about it.

Well Chuck Todd at MSNBC asked some questions and found out that this mysterious replacement amounted to nothing more than a tall Republican tale. Todd invited Republican Orrin Hatch and part of their conversation went like this:

CHUCK TODD: One of the assumed benefits in your new plan would allow for cheaper policies for young folks. At the same time, you would allow insurers to sell insurance at varying rates. So if you allow for a cheaper policy for younger, healthier people, right, this has been among the issues, the translation is you’re going to see — how do you prevent a spike for older Americans who, maybe just by default of genetics, are starting with a lot of health care problems, and because of that, end up getting charged more? How do you prevent that spike in rates for them?

ORRIN HATCH: Well, we have a formula in there that it can’t go beyond a certain position. But the fact of the matter is, somebody has to pay for these things. And the Obamacare bill doesn’t pay for things, they pushed them into — into Medicaid, which is non-functioning and not doing what it should do right now.

In other words, we have nothing. You totally on your own. If you can’t afford it, then just die already.

George Zimmerman Signs Up For ‘Celebrity’ Boxing Match

George Zimmerman, acquitted in the high-profile killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, arrives in court Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2013, in Sanford, Fla., for his hearing on charges including aggravated assault stemming from a fight with his girlfriend. (AP Photo/Orlando Sentinel, Joe Burbank, Pool)

There are many people who would relish the opportunity to take a swing at unconvicted killer George Zimmerman, and at least one lucky person will get that chance.

Zimmerman, who was found not guilty on murder charges after he followed and eventually gunned down 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on February 26, 2012, will participate in a “celebrity” boxing match that will be aired online and on Pay-Per-View on March 1, 2014.

“It was my idea,” Zimmerman, 30, said in an interview with Radar Online.

“Prior to the incident I was actually going to the gym for weight loss and doing boxing-type training for weight loss and a mutual friend put me in contact with Damon and provided me with an opportunity and motivation to get back in shape and continue with my weight loss goals and also be able to help a charity out.”

The “incident,” of course, is his killing of an unarmed teenager.

Read more from Radar Online:

“Boxing isn’t new to me. It’s something I had picked up well before the incident and it’s something that I liked, I enjoyed, and I kept up with it and I was able to lose a tremendous amount of weight and get a healthy lifestyle,” he told Radar.

“So it’s not a new hobby, it’s something I have been doing and wanting to pursue to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”

…

“I don’t have a preference [on opponent] as long as it goes to charity, doesn’t matter to me. Hopefully someone that won’t hurt me too bad!” Zimmerman said, but after thinking about it a minute told Radar, “If I had my top three I’d say Papa Smurf, the Easter Bunny and maybe the Michelin Man.”

Zimmerman, who has taken full advantage of his notoriety, shared the news on his Twitter page.

Only in America can you become famous for killing a Black child in cold blood.

Another MSNBC Employee Fired Over Right-Wing Made Up Hysteria

MSNBC is at it again. Bowing to the blowback of the right-wing lunatics and again, apparently firing another employee. This time, the network fired someone over a tweet. Yes a tweet.

In 2013, Cheerios made a commercial using an interracial family. The blowback from the racists was unbelievable. The ad however, was a total success prompting Cheerios to release another. Referencing the second ad, someone on Wednesday used the official MSNBC Twitter handle and tweeted this;

“Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family.”

The Republican party and the right winged media went even more nuts. Reince Priebus, RNC Chairman immediately wrote a letter to MSNBC and called for a boycott of the station. That’s all that was needed, as MSNBC again, bowed to the manufactured Republican pushback on a non-issue.

And earlier today Phil Griffin, head of MSNBC issued the following statement;

The tweet last night was outrageous and unacceptable. we immediately acknowledged that it was offensive and wrong, apologized and deleted it. We have dismissed the person responsible for the tweet.

I personally apologized to Mr. Priebus and to everyone offended. At MSNBC, we believe in passionate, strong debate about the issues and we invite voices from all sides to participate, that will never change.

Chalk yet another one up for the made up hysteria of the Republican right wing.

Michele Bachmann Plans Lawsuit if Obama Follows The Constitution on Executive Orders

If you only listen to these Republicans, you’d thing that the term “Executive Orders” originated in the Obama administration. And you’d think that Republicans have gone above and beyond, doing all they can to work with the president in making sure the country moves forward. You’d be perplexed, trying to figure out what the President’s State of The Union Address was all about and you’d be confused as to why Obama talked about doing it alone if Congress failed to act.

If the person described above fits your way of thinking, then I’d say you’re probably an avid Fox News viewer. But as usual, you’re not getting the truth watching Fox.

The facts of the matter is, Congressional Republicans have done everything possible to block this president, to render his presidency a failure, to make sure Americans feel the pain, to make sure they suffer for electing the black dude in the White House. And after years of reaching out to Republicans, waiting for them to come to their senses, President Obama realized that time would never come and declared that he is now prepared to use the powers authorized by the Constitution, and do what he can for the American people.

And for his decision, Michele Bachmann is flipping out. How dare he follow the Constitution!?!?

Responding to the President’s State of the Union Address, Bachmann threw down the gauntlet!

“He’s the president of the United States. He’s not a king. He may think he’s a king, he may declare himself king, but that’s not what he is under our Constitution.”

“If he wants to move forward with this unilateral activity, he better be prepared for the lawsuit that the United States Congress will bring to him.”

Yea, you do that Michele. We already know that you have no clue about the Constitution, forget he Constitution. We all know you have serious issues with thinking. So do you Michele, do you…

Conservative Pastor Proclaims – Obama’s “vision is to follow Satan.” – Video

Pastor Steven Andrew on Tuesday night delivered “God’s State of the Union” address in response to President Barack Obama’s speech to the nation.

The conservative pastor of USA Christian Ministries called on Americans to serve the God of the Bible rather than false gods if they wished to receive his blessings and see their nation’s prosperity restored.

“We want to seek God with all of our heart and soul,” Andrew said. “We want to obey the Holy Bible with all of our heart and soul, and we want Jesus as our king. This is how you restore God’s blessings. People like Barack Obama have a totally different vision of America. His vision is to follow Satan.”

It is clear Obama is following Satan, according to the pastor, because he is openly encouraging “homosexual sin” and violating God’s unalienable rights “by forcing people to have death panels.”

He described Obama as a covetous liar who was not a part of the “Kingdom of God.”

Proclaiming Jesus as the Lord of the United States could also solve the nation’s financial troubles, Andrew said.

“Americans right now are suffering. There is great economic problems in the United States of America. We have the biggest debt in the world. How is this going to go away? This debt is going to go away by humbling ourselves before the Lord and not by serving Mammon but by putting Jesus Christ first.”

A Full House Reunion on Jimmy Fallon – Video

Continuing his monopoly on twentysomething nostalgia, Jimmy Fallon brought in three of the most beloved early ’90s father figures on Wednesday night to help sing away his Tonight Show transition blues.

Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier reprised their Full House roles — as Danny Tanner, Jesse Katsopolis, and Joey Gladstone, respectively — and the whole thing was so adorable, you might even forget that they were comforting a 39-year-old comedian dressed in children’s pajamas and sitting on a bed framed by four gigantic pencils (a la Michelle Tanner).

The guys also reenacted some of their signature Full House tag lines:
