We are all so incredibly lucky to witness the inception of Beck University! Beck University has exactly two employees and Beck, the employese being a strange PhD named Dr. Stoner. His obvious profession is not Botany as one would expect if you were born with a name that made one think of 4/20, and another fellow by the name of David Barton, who is a the rights favorite pseudo-historian accoriding to People for the American Way. And all for the low price of $9.95 a month, you too can attend Beck University, and at this University there will be no music for Losers, just classes for Losers, and no real degree, except for maybe an ArtBell degree for conspiracy theorists.
Certainly, those Beck University Students will learn very little about writing and critical thinking, but they will learn a good deal about conspiracies theories, Nazi's and DemocRats. Well I guess it sure is "Nice Work if You Can Get It"!
As usual the Senate is the legislative branch where legislation goes to die! As Paul Krugman wrote on the Fourth of July, "Republicans are a Coalition of the heartless, clueless and confused". But it isn't just those Republicans, we hear time and time again that unemployment insurance keeps people from seeking jobs. Unemployment insurance makes you rich, yahoo! Who knew!
Nina Easton said Sunday that unemployed workers will refuse to get new jobs as long as they are receiving benefits.
Yes of course Nina, this is true, 400.00 a week at best it such an awesome sum of money, most people can not only live on that, but they live like Kings!
Let's get a brief follow up on my Chris Matthews video of last week. Well my god, my video was linked to by a right wing website, and before I knew it there were hundreds of comments by assholes. I first noticed some "dude" name richard4president, making troll like comments.
richard4president to another commenter: wow you are a retard.
richard4president to yet another commenter: Good for you, learn proper English.
richard4president to yet another commenter: Now go to bed mama's boy.
The exchanges between richard4president and others continued like this, and it made me think he was possibly this guy, interviewed once by esteemed Dagblog Blogger, William Wolfram. Was it him Wolfy? I really think it was. But the last exchange was with me, I told him to l calm down and pull it back some, otherwise I would '86 him. So I decided to go to his profile on youtube, where he says he is going to school studying... wait for it.....
I am being educated in Biblical Studies at Koinonia Institute. I love writing about and discussing the Bible and Jesus Christ.
Wait, What? Well okay then, I did chide him, right before blocking him, but, I also allowed his comments to stand, so everyone can see these guys exactly for what they are; bully boys. So whether or not you believe in this crazy "Fair Tax" BS, you have to admit the FairTax folks act just like all the other Beck, Hannity, jackass followers, they are bullies and hate it when people disagree with them. When folks do disagree with them, they go into complete bully meltdown mode. It is funny to read. You can catch all the crazy postings here. The posting finally slowed when I began moderating comments.
It was such a fun week for me, I'd never been linked to be a conservative website! They certainly gave me thousands of hits on my video, and I think that defeats their purpose.
Have a great Tuesday
The issue of sexual assaults on American Indian women has become one of the major sources of discord in the current debate between the White House and the House of Representatives over the latest reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act of 1994.
.......
“We should never have a woman come into the office saying, ‘I need to learn more about Plan B for when my daughter gets raped,’ ” said Charon Asetoyer, a women’s health advocate on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, referring to the morning-after pill. “That’s what’s so frightening — that it’s more expected than unexpected. It has become a norm for young women.”
The difficulties facing American Indian women who have been raped are myriad, and include a shortage of sexual assault kits at Indian Health Service hospitals, where there is also a lack of access to birth control and sexually transmitted disease testing. There are also too few nurses trained to perform rape examinations, which are generally necessary to bring cases to trial.

MOSCOW — Stiff new penalties aimed at opposition protesters were given preliminary approval Tuesday by Russian lawmakers loyal to President Vladimir Putin, the target of mass rallies and demonstrations before his March election victory.
The bill, which opposition parliament members termed draconian and protested by threatening to file out of a legislative session, calls for fines of up to $50,000 and up to 200 hours of community service for organizers of rallies and demonstrations that grow violent or exceed the approved number of participants.
The sanctions were approved on first reading by parliament's lower house, which is controlled by Putin's United Russia party. They mark a return by the Kremlin to a tough stance against critics after concessions during the recent election campaign [...]

A Pew survey of 1,000 Russians found that President Vladimir Putin is well-liked by more than 70 percent of citizens, especially older adults.

HAVANA — It was all sunshine, smiles and celebratory speeches as officials marked the arrival of an undersea fiber-optic cable they promised would end Cuba's Internet isolation and boost web capacity 3,000-fold. Even a retired Fidel Castro had hailed the dawn of a new cyber-age on the island.
More than a year after the February 2011 ceremony on Siboney Beach in eastern Cuba, and 10 months after the system was supposed to have gone online, the government never mentions the cable anymore, and Internet here remains the slowest in the hemisphere. People talk quietly about embezzlement torpedoing the project and the arrest of more than a half-dozen senior telecom officials.
Perhaps most maddening, nobody has explained what happened to the much-ballyhooed $70 million project....
