Morning Jay: Democrats, Inc.

Morning Jay: Democrats, Inc.


Money quote:
So, year after year, Tammany pols would endorse the Democratic party platform, which inevitably railed against the GOP's coziness with special interests, while they themselves were cozy with those very same interests. That is the modern Democratic party in a nutshell.

Comment:

You can't trust what you hear from the MSM, which is a subsidiary of Democrats, Inc.  There's so much misinformation out there, you are lucky if you get a shred of truth.

Researchers believe that meat grown in factories, rather than on farms, will be a more sustainable and less environmentally harmful source of food.
Comment:

Newt '08 on Consulting Fannie and Freddie

Winning Our Future h/t free republic

Lots of distortions out there.  Not only against Newt, but against Santorum as well.  I suspect Romney is behind most of this.  He may have been behind the Cain stuff as well, although Cain blamed Perry for it.  Romney's accomplices in the media who want him to get the nomination are helping him too.  But they'll get him later once they get the others out of the way.

I think there will be war with the Iranians. The mullahs are determined to pick a fight and there will be one. It is only a matter of time.

This song came out at the time of the Vietnam War. I didn't go, but if drafted and sent there, I would have gone. No running away to Canada for me. You can't run away from things. Especially bad things like this.

I don't see this video as pro war or anti war. Just that war is a bad thing.

mental_floss

  • Before going on the air, Batman received the lowest test score ratings from test audiences in the history of the ABC network.
  • Batman‘s success as a TV series actually saved the Batman comic book from cancellation.
  • Adam West has admitted that Julie Newmar as Catwoman caused “strange stirrings in my utility belt.” Burt Ward also admitted that Lesley Gore (as Catwoman’s assistant, Pussycat) caused him a great deal of intense male feelings because she kept rubbing up against him

Afterburner with Bill Whittle: Han Shot First!

Didn't Han Solo shoot first in the famous Cantina scene? It depends on which versions of "Star Wars" you have seen. Bill Whittle jumps head first into this "Star Wars" controversy and asks whether George Lucas's re-edited version of the sci-fi classic tells us something about Hollywood, manhood and American culture.

It goes much deeper than this. The leadership doesn't seem very interested in helping their own people. You have to wonder why people keep voting for this garbage.
