Thank You Sarah Palin !
Well, it has been quite a while since I tuned in on our old friend Sarah... and I must admit I had not thought about her at all. Her last stint with the spotlight was covered here in fine detail while she erupted with the force and clueless direction of a volcano... spewing dribble and shit-for-brains drabble all over the last CPAC convention. I must add that the term 'drabble' usually means a work of fiction of 100 words but this lady seems to spout her fictional escapades in well more than 100 words.. to everyone's delight. I say 'seems' because some of her dribble aren't actual words... again to everyone's delight!
In Sarah's latest brush at attempting to creep out of the shadows of oblivion in a nonsensical way, she tweeted yesterday that the White House Correspondents' Dinner was a disappointment to her obviously twisted sense of rationale. She never ceases to amaze her ardent supporters of which I must admit I am one... she is the closest I can come to attending a traveling comedy tour without actually paying for a ticket.
True to form, she was able to piece together verbiage in slightly more numbers than her brain cell count, to form this tweet..."That #WHCD was pathetic. The rest of America is out there working our asses off while these DC assclowns throw themselves a #nerdprom"
I am truly grateful that Sarah Palin is out there working her ass off. It has been an established fact in all successful societies such as this one that humor is much needed to take the edge off as we go through our daily trials... heck they even had jesters in the Kings' courts back then. Good old 'Mama Grizzly with lipstick' has come out of hibernation for a spell to mangle a few words and it is good to see her as I don't think Ted Cruz is able to sabotage and destroy America or the GOP all by his lonesome.
"Mama lipstick" also posted on her Facebook, "While America is buried in taxes and a fight for our rights, the permanent political class in DC dresses up and has a prom to make fun of themselves. No need for that, we get the real joke"... to which there was a generation of voices and comments on her page the likes of which I have only seen when a million flies are disturbed in a dumpster.
We look forward to her sporadic appearances on stage at a forum...or a stable near you...

The World's A Better Place, Because Of Grandmothers...
I am so disappointed with the lacking treatment of Grandmothers. They are the epitome of love, tolerance and understanding. They are the nurturing center of the world. They are really the essence of what life has to offer to the young ones coming into this world.
Grandmothers have seen it all, they have lived it all, they have been it all...and lived to tell about it. They are a wealth of information that must not be wasted. They still love when they are pushed aside, they still teach when they are ignored, they still hold on when there seems to be no hope.
Grandmothers alive today have seen wars, have fought wars, have lost and won wars...literally. They are still alive after all the wars past, even WWI which started in 1914... They have seen their share of death and destruction. There is no better teacher of the young as a Grandmother is, she can be the anchor that gives a perspective to a growing mind that few have the capacity to be.
Grandmothers have always been the backbone of a family and no family was complete without one back then... even in the movies...remember Johnboy and the Waltons?
Today's grandmothers take on a seemingly different role in this modern world...mostly one of staying out of peoples' way as they go about the hustle and bustle of modern life, without much concern for the caring and special person being pushed aside... the grandmother. To many unenlightened folks, they are just a burden meant to be endured...to wither until they die.
To the modern politician, the grandmother is just a tool to use, abuse and eventually to squeeze the life blood out of by cutting their Medicare and other social services.
No society can thrive without the warmth and understanding of a grandmother. No society would have grown to be what it is without the strength and evenhanded wisdom of the grandmothers, who have guided mankind from behind the curtains... upon the wings of destiny to make a better world, by the young minds they inspired, then and now.
Many of us still remember our grandmothers with fond memories of her cooking when we were little, with fond memories of her cuddling with us, with fond memories of just ...her.
So please, don't sweep grandma under the rug. Grandmothers are indeed a measure of society, a testament to its greatness or its defeat. Grandmothers are a staple in our own children's lives... they are the living breath of a world gone mad...

Hey NRA Man, 14 Texas Students Were Not Shot At School, Assailant Had A Knife...
So this is the best evidence we can present to the hard headed people who are against Gun control. Obviously there is not enough compassion by the NRA and the Republican lawmakers for victims of gun violence.
From NBC News..."At least 14 people were hurt Tuesday in a stabbing spree at a Texas community college apparently carried out by a student who was later taken into custody, authorities said.

At least two victims were in critical condition. It was not immediately clear how severe the other injuries were. The stabbing happened at the CyFair campus of Lone Star College, in the Houston suburb of Cypress.
Cody Duty / Houston Chronicle via AP
Dylan Quick, right, a suspect in the multiple stabbings on the Lone Star CyFair campus, is escorted by a Harris County Sheriff's Office investigator on Tuesday.
Law enforcement officials have identified student Dylan Andrew Quick, 20, as the suspected assailant, and the Harris County District Attorney's Office has filed three charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon....Lone Star College student Kayla Brightkrite was walking down an empty hall on her way to class Tuesday when a teacher quickly pulled her into his classroom, she told NBC News in an email.
Johnny Hanson / Houston Chronicle
Life Flight personnel rush a stabbing victim off a helicopter at a Houston hospital after a stabbing spree Tuesday near Lone Star College in Cypress, Texas.
She initially had no idea an attack had taken place until other students quietly huddled in the room told her.
"I asked a guy what was going on and they said a kid had just been stabbed in the neck down the hall from them and they heard someone scream, 'Oh my God! Call 911!'" she recalled.
Brightkrite stayed in the classroom for nearly 45 minutes until school officials said they could exit out the back of the building.
In the parking lot, she saw a man in handcuffs being put in a police car. "He looked at me and once he got into the car, he gave me a large demented smile," Brightkrite said.
Obviously if we can lessen the chances or at least make it more difficult for attackers to acquire guns, we may have more scenes like this, with no mass shootings. There was a similar incident in China just before the Newtown shooting in Connecticut, the Chinese attacker similarly wounded many children, but no one died.

Over 7000 US Veteran Suicides Annually, Who's To Blame? CIA? MI6? George Bush? Tony Blair? ...Yes, All Of The Above.
Today marks another milestone of our war in Iraq, it is the 10th anniversary of our invasion. New evidence released now shows that both the CIA and MI6 were informed through secret Iraqi channels months prior to the Iraq war, that there were no WMDs in Iraq and they also had no ongoing WMD program at that time. The information was either covered up or largely ignored by both entities, allowing what has now been deemed the lies by both the American and British administrations at that time, to facilitate the invasion of Iraq. This information is important because of the result of the war, on Iraqis and Americans alike, as shown further in this article.
From The Guardian..."A special BBC Panorama program aired on Monday night details how British and US intelligence agencies were informed by top sources months before the invasion that Iraq had no active WMD program, and that the information was not passed to subsequent inquiries."
The events of 9/11 which so far has cost more than 3000 lives with the immediate attack and still counting with the cleanup crews, were used as a fictitious backdrop to facilitate the war which now directly increase the reported suicide rate to more than 7000 veterans annually, who are stricken with PTSD. This is the rate that has finally been released by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, this is also a suicide rate that I myself had published in my book 'Shock and Awe on America' (linked below) and in numerous articles over the last 5 years. It is a rate that had been concealed or largely ignored previously, but was so easy for myself and others to find...five years ago.
Limited awareness of that suicide rate information has been an unfortunate factor in the slow and tragically lacking help offered to Veterans thus far. The truth on the issue of Veteran suicide was well overdue, concealing how much urgent support is needed for our still falling comrades. The situation is currently so bad that veterans are dying while waiting for their claims to be processed. One building is reported to be so filled with claim applications that the building has been deemed unstable. Veterans' wait times are years in many cases. The NYTimes explore some of the cases.
PTSD has been a contentious issue over the last decade, with increasing awareness and diagnosis seeing numbers surpass 70000 cases so far. It is now understood that more than 20% of those who are returning from war suffer this debilitating disease, which can result in Depression, Substance abuse, Anger Management and Suicide. There have been more than 2.3 million individual deployments to the wars so far. This video by ABC News tells the chilling tale.
On the battlefield, there have been more than 4400 US casualties so far with the numbers reported by the Associated Press topping 110,000 for violent deaths and numbers topping 1 million total deaths associated with the war as reported by independent London polling agency ORB. We see ongoing violence today in Baghdad with a series of car bombs killing at least 50 persons and wounding dozens more, on this our 10th anniversary of our Iraqi invasion.
This whole shocking issue of selling a fictitious war to Americans and indeed the world, has been documented by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow in the documentary titled 'Hubris' which will have it's 2nd airing on March 22nd. It is a recommended 'must watch.'

Sarah Palin Nails It, Falls Off The Wagon, Shows Why She Will Never Get The GOP Nod, Ever.
Looking older and quite haggard since her McCain/Palin heyday, Sarah took to the podium like the trooper of the airheads we have come to know and love...wearing something that appeared just 'picked up and thrown on,' and a hairdo that resembled the aftermath of a roll in the hay...[or of someone just awakened out of a drunken stupor in the back of a truck.] All the while as I watched her performance, I keep wondering if her hair and wardrobe was all staged to connect with her target audience.
In her misguided opinion, she concludes that the country was desperate for leadership, but she wants elected Obama to step aside so those who lost the election could lead. Her enlightened view, though amusing, was like a dog trying to bite its own tail in a never ending spin that goes nowhere.
With an untalented attempt at stand up, she dutifully warmed up the crowd with lines about liking Texans because they did not mess around with our 2nd amendment rights, and taking away the 'good guys' freedoms.' Then with not so much the needed seriousness of a well versed and coherent speaker, she rambled on with " it's all about the lead...like solely, that chunk of metal did the crime...and solely, that fork made me fat...' at one point even suggesting Obama should have a background check done on himself, obviously pandering to a now mentally defunct Trump and his birtherism ideas.
She spoke with a half serving of drivel and like Boehner, appeared to sort of slur her drawled speech as if she was high or at least lightly inebriated... She tried to joke about the 'liberal media folk.'
From CBSnews " Slurpie slapstick aside, forging ahead the conservative cause requires an "adult conversation," not just "rebuilding the party, or rebranding the GOP," she said. The country currently doesn't have leadership from Mr. Obama, she said. "We have reality television," said Palin, whose own reality show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska," enjoyed a one-season run on TLC."
At the end, she had obviously gotten the effects of what she had drank earlier in the big gulp cup, [which she insisted was only pop and 'low cal ice']...so she rambled on about dog-sledding... her exclamation of 'eh? we came in 2nd out of two...' really put it over the edge if there was any doubt of drunkenness.
One obviously embarrassed supporter said Palin is liked and tried to decode the Republican phenomenon like this ..."I don't think she is very substantive, I don't think she has a lot of facts that are even relevant to her speak, but I like the way she talks...[embarrassed laugh] if that even matters...[to explain further, she continued] a lot of people are under-educated and they don't even read past what people say, if they feel something when you talk [even if they don't understand it] they're gonna vote for you anyways, sorry that's true..."
Many others interviewed, tried to stay away from any attempt to pin down intelligent factoids or qualifications that Sarah may have, to quantify her value as a candidate or valid leader for the party in the future... leaving them to only generalize, on the GOP's use of her showmanship to slow the party's recent nosedive and inclement destiny, as something they obviously have yet to figure out.
To further explain what the 'under-educated' Palin followers that were mentioned earlier think, we can take a look at those in the following video, who mostly show their ignorance by echoing Palin's own thoughts, that the party's ideals are still good and should not change, they just need to change the approach on how to explain the GOP ideals to the rest of America, who don't get that the confederacy is alive and well in the Tea Party time zone of 1860. This is a perfect cross-section of the Palin crowd...

I Hope You Get Raped And Your Throat Slit!
Zerlina Maxwell, a writer and Democratic strategist recently went on Sean Hannity's show on Fox News to discuss the issue of rape and guns. Zerlina had recently written an article on Ebony.com titled '5 ways we can teach men not to rape,' which had the following statement...“I think that the entire conversation is wrong. I don’t want anybody to be telling women anything. I don’t want men to be telling me what to wear and how to act, not to drink. And I don’t, honestly, want you to tell me that I needed a gun in order to prevent my rape. In my case, don’t tell me if I’d only had a gun, I wouldn’t have been raped. Don’t put it on me to prevent the rape.”
After the interview on the show, there was a response by right wing media that soon stirred the emotions of those who felt that they had to respond...and respond they did. So far there has been some racist attacks and at least four threats on her life. One nasty tweet that was featured on the Ed Show, clearly said 'I hope you get raped and your throat slit! Maybe then you understand why white women need to be armed.'

This is yet another marker in the contentious issues of gun control and rape. It is also noted that some of the threats or comments received by Ms. Maxwell were racist in tone, which add yet another dark dimension to the whole picture.
Ed Schultz went on in his report to reflect on other Republican/Conservatives politicians who have recently made such outrageous remarks as those made by Todd Akin about 'legitimate rape' and Richard Murdock who said that rape was something that was intended by God.
I am also reminded of a comment made by billionaire Foster Freiss, Rick Santorum’s sugar daddy, who suggested that avoiding pregnancy was as simple as women putting an aspirin between their legs… talk about living in the past!
Schultz had quite an interesting report and interview with Ms. Zerlina Maxwell afterward, I invite you to watch the video below...
