Good morning!

As if we haven’t had enough of the sicko men from FOX News, here’s another hypocrite exposed.

From Blog Critics:

Whatever Happened To The Bill O’Reilly/Andrea Mackris Sex Scandal?

In October of 2004, the words “loofa” and “falafel” were mainstreamed into our sexual vocabulary. To the shock of some, and to the entertainment of millions, religious right wingnut Bill O’Reilly was accused of sexually harassing coworker Andrea Mackris with explicit phone conversations that were allegedly taped. Besides the use of loofas and falafels as sex objects, Bill O’Reilly had also revealed homoerotic desires to use vibrators on himself, fantasies of explicit Caribbean vacations, and a desire for Ms. Mackris to perform oral sex on him, but not finish. He also revealed some disturbing news about what Fox News was planning to do to Al Franken. To Bill O’Reilly’s enemies, this news was God sent.

The reason people were fascinated with this story is the same reason they are fascinated with Rush Limbaugh’s drug use, Matt Drudge’s allegedly gay affairs, and the penisification of underage boys by anti-gay activist and idolized Republican Mark Foley: we love exposing hypocrites! Bill O’Reilly has used his highly rated program, The O’Reilly Factor, to criticize sexuality in the media. His favorite targets have been rapper Ludacris, Janet Jackson, porn stars, and all the other “immoral” Hollywood stars. The only Hollywood star whom he constantly praises (or at least used to praise) is Mel Gibson, the director of the anti-Semitic Passion of the Christ. The fact that Mel Gibson was going to turn Bill O’Reilly’s soft-porn epicThose Who Trespass into a movie certainly helped.

On October 28, 2004, O’Reilly and Mackris reached an out of court settlement, and dropped all charges against each other. It was widely rumored that O’Reilly paid Mackris close to ten million dollars to “shut up” and destroy the tapes. The fact that the story disappeared from the media soon afterwards remains a mystery that people should question.

If the media was as liberal as conservatives claim it to be, this case would not have disappeared so quickly. Did O’Reilly pay media outlets to “shut up” just as he did with Andrea Mackris? Was the media too afraid to go after O’Reilly, who is given almost the same status of Jesus Christ among right wing fundamentalists? Did O’Reilly’s lawyers stop the media from doing any more damage? The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal lasted years after the hearings, which backfired on conservatives. Dan Rather is still dogged by his mistakes which happened two and a half years ago. Even though Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges, the case still dogs him two years later. It seems quite odd that Bill O’Reilly’s matters suddenly “disappeared.”

The Bill O’Reilly/Andrea Mackris scandal not only begs for questions about it’s “sudden” disappearance, but reveals, once again, how hypocritical and morally corrupt the right wing religious fanatics in this country are. Bill O’Reilly’s audience not only aggressively defended him, but maintained their viewership over the years. Fellow right wing pundit Michelle Malkin, who freaks out at the mention of the words “gay” or “sex,” didn’t issue any condemnation of Bill O’Reilly’s immoral behavior. Michael Savage, who was fired from MSNBC for wishing AIDS and death on a homosexual caller, seemed rather silent about the situation. Rush Limbaugh, who ended up being exposed as an illegal drug user after condemning illegal drug users, defended O’Reilly. George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Ann Coulter, Dr. Laura Schlesinger, and other darlings of the right wing didn’t issue any condemnation either. On October 21, 2004, the fiercely heterosexual Matt Drudge tried very hard to smear Andrea Mackris.

Even though Bill O’Reilly’s ratings are still high, his relevancy in the political world is arguably fading. He successfully served as the Joseph McCarthy of his time, as well as George W. Bush’s media protector. But even after he fades into history, the type of behavior he exhibited towards Andrea Mackris will continue unless both political parties condemn it.

*****

Yeah, good luck with that ever happening. But, hey, I can be optimistic too. As you can see, this write has been buried deep for many years, so I decided to shed some light on it. Perhaps with the posting on our blog, we can get it back in the news again. Why not? The hypocrite O’Reilly still talks to this day as if he is holier than thou. I think he deserves another round of this surfacing, don’t you? Feel free to share it.

Something to say? Have at it. :)

Blog me. 

Alycedale: I just read the repartee between you and the supposed doc today. Let me just say…I enjoyed it.

Eric: I’m a huge animal lover. Domestic animals do so much for the elders. I am so delighted to hear that your father is getting your mother a sweet little love. I know it will help her. Please give your mom my best. Thanks.

Kevin: I haven’t met a Main Coon that I haven’t adored. And Rots are another fave. Actually most pets steal my heart. Sounds like you have a wonderful family, non furry ones included. :)

Robert: Thank you. All I can say is that when I was doing it, I absolutely loved it. Cherished the team of girls I got to compete with too. Speaking of…

Olenka: Thank you. Nice to meet a fellow gymnast! From Russia, yes? Your country is fierce competition for the Americans. Did you watch last night? Enjoy the competition!

Owen: Thank you. I wish you had asked me to dance. I never turn anyone down for a spin on the dance floor. I adapt to those I’m dancing with. So, if you have two left feet, don’t worry, I’ll match you with two right feet. :) Next time you see me, please ask me to dance.

Peace out. 

Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers.

Good morning!

Readers: I thoroughly enjoyed reading the comments yesterday. What a hoot. This election and the events surrounding it are just like no other. We’ve got the LSOS Trump claiming he saw a “top secret” (Shhhh!!) video of 400 Mil in cash handed to Iran, and the questioning of Melania Trump’s legal U.S. citizenship. (Oohhhh!) How ironic if it turns out she is an illegal immigrant. (Oh, the gods must be quite entertained by all of this.)

The republicans are showing their true colors and are sticking with it.

We’ve got another LSOS Paul Ryan still supporting Trump. After all the negativity Trump has thrown his way about him et al…

It appears that neither insulting the family of a soldier who sacrificed his life serving the U.S. in Iraq, nor proposing a ban on Muslims from “terrorist countries” nor attacking the impartiality of a federal judge over his heritage are crossing the line for Ryan. ~ Excerpt from the Huff Po

And then there’s John McCain. Vets crashed his office demanding he dump Trump:

McCain, like nearly all GOP lawmakers, is endorsing Trump for president, despite the GOP nominee’s comments disparaging women, Muslims, people with disabilities, immigrants and, most recently, the family of a Muslim American war hero who died in Iraq while protecting his troops. Trump isn’t returning the favor ― and he has even directly targeted the Arizona senator, mocking McCain’s status as a prisoner of war. ~ Excerpt from the Huff Po

Yes, the political environment is pretty interesting to say the least. So much for the republican’s trite sentiments of “country first.” If this is how they act with regards to “country first,” one can only imagine what would happen if they couldn’t care less about country.

Oh…wait…excuse me…we don’t have to imagine because it is in our face. We. See. It. Daily.

If Obama was even a smidgen like Trump and the other white privileged hypocritical LSOS’s…well…it goes without saying what would’ve happened.

Oh, the expression of rampant white privilege. It is quite shocking what one can get away with when one is of a certain color.

OK enough of that…Onto, today’s topic. I want to talk about sexism. Because in my opinion it’s showing up big time in this presidential race.

I’ve been saying how much more Clinton is scrutinized and held under the microscope more than any other man would be in this position. I discovered this write in my local newspaper and found it to be seriously right on, in a not so serious lighthearted way.

From the SF Chron:

Gender matters in the presidential election

If Donald Trump were a woman, her tweets would be seen as catty, gossipy, and more like something out of “Mean Girls.”

As a sociology professor who has researched and taught about gender for many years, I know that gender matters. And that gender difference matters. Yet, it is the difference that gender makes in our lives that matters most. Nowhere is this more evident right now than in the current election.

If Hillary Clinton were a man with the political prowess she possesses, he would be seen as not just qualified but more likely overqualified.

If Donald Trump were a woman with his same lack of political experience and qualifications, she would be told to go back to wherever she came from, most likely the kitchen. And, she likely would not have made it this far.

If Clinton were a man, his rational authority, pragmatism, optimism and sober speeches would work in his favor and would be celebrated.

If Trump were a woman, her name-calling would indicate that she is ruled by her out-of-control, post-menopausal body, her tweets would be seen as catty, gossipy, and more like something out of “Mean Girls,” and her condescending ways with marginalized others would be seen as exclusionary bitchiness.

If Clinton were a man, having been a senator and secretary of state would be a good thing and a sign of understanding complicated budgets.

If Trump were a woman, her history of bankruptcies would indicate that she is careless with money and that she went shopping one too many times.

If Clinton were a man, his speeches would be seen as strong and exuding confidence.

If Trump were a woman, her speeches would be regarded as shrieking, hysterical rants.

If Clinton were a man, his pantsuits might earn high marks.

If Trump were a woman, she’d be told that she should hire a better hair colorist. And a speech coach to assist her with controlling her belittling facial expressions and hand gestures.

If Clinton were a man, he’d be regarded as monogamous and lovingly loyal, even in the face of a spouse who had previously cheated. He would be admired for staying with his wife through thick and thin.

If Trump were a woman, she’d be labeled an immigrant-loving slut for her choices in whom to marry.

If Clinton were a man, we’d be apt to see his spouse as a magnetic public speaker who routinely and magically wins over a room.

And now we have the unique chance to have Clinton, an exceptionally accomplished woman, as our next president. That is, unless we let sexism get in our way.

Good Sunday morning!

From Vanity Fair:

Is It Wrong to Work with Woody Allen?

Kate Winslet and Justin Timberlake just signed onto the filmmaker’s latest project.

Readers: I’m not surprised that men wouldn’t skip a beat to work with Woody. But the women…I would think (HOPE) they would react differently. But then, he is a white men and these are white women. So much more to say here about the article, so I’ll open up the forum and invite you to do the talking.

What do you think? Is it wrong to work with Woody Allen, (the LSOS)?

Blog me.

PS: I’ve had family in town since Tuesday and birthdays all around, so my time has been limited here. But anxious to catch up with you all and respond to some comments.

Good morning!

Well, the news is out. Trump has chosen his man. From Daily Kos:

Mike Pence gained national attention hating gays, but became governor attacking Planned Parenthood

Mike Pence might have reached the national stage by signing a bill making it legal to discriminate against gays, then gone on to pass a “clarification” that didn’t, made numerous press appearances that were at best mealymouthed, and ultimately left himself in a position where his “Up and coming GOP star” label was replaced with “Next!”

But it was another piece of right-wing social extremism that secured Pence the mansion where Team Trump came calling on Wednesday. Discriminating against gays is a sideline for Pence. His main focus, back when he was merely Representative Pence, was destroying Planned Parenthood.

Abortion-rights advocates and abortion-rights opponents don’t see eye to eye on much, but they do agree on this: Nobody hates Planned Parenthood quite as much as Mike Pence.

Don’t think for a minute that Pence was just being careful about the use of federal funds for abortion. He wanted to burn it all down.

The Indiana Republican is on a one-man crusade to deny all federal funding to the group — not just the money it gets for reproductive health and family planning services, but every penny it gets for anything. [...]

This week, Pence went even further, introducing an amendment to the continuing resolution that would strip Planned Parenthood — and Planned Parenthood alone — of all federal funding.

Mike Pence’s restrictions on abortion go way beyond anything supported by most Republicans. Way beyond anything supported by most people who consider themselves pro-life. This is where they go.

Republican Gov. Mike Pence signed a bill into law Thursday making Indiana the second state to ban abortions because of fetal genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome. [...]

The bill has been criticized by a national group of gynecologists and several female Republican members of the GOP-dominated Indiana Legislature, who say it goes too far in telling women what they can and can’t do.

 That’s Mike Pence. The most radical point of the anti-choice moment.

*****

Readers: Here we go. I won’t let Pence in my pants. You shouldn’t either.

Happy Saturday! The forum is open.

Good morning!

I started this blog 9 years ago on this date, July 13th 2007. I used to celebrate it here calling it an “Anniversary.” But when I woke up this morning, I decided I wanted to celebrate our blog’s birth instead. 🎂

Thanks to all of you, my readers and especially to the ones who have been here with me from day one. But more than anything thank you for coming back after such a long hiatus. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that so many of you are here with me. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again…I realize that you have a choice to read many blogs out there but that you choose to read and be here with me and everyone else. And yes, it is still uncensored and will remain that way as long as I am blogging.

I still strive for us to see each other and come together as “World Citizens” even though the social and political environment is tumultuous – Yes, I still have lots of HOPE. It is just the way I’m wired. If I didn’t I wouldn’t be here everyday. And my guess is, you do too or you wouldn’t be here.

I wrote this at the 5 year mark and I decided to repost it because I feel the same way today.

I am honored, humbled, and grateful to be in the company of so many diverse, intelligent, talented, admirable, funny, informative, savvy, courageous, inspiring, astute, witty, empathetic, brilliant, beautiful, complex, emotional, strong, tenacious, intuitive, vulnerable, passionate, enlightening, loving, and so many other wonderful things…”World Citizens”…and yes there are a few not so positive traits, as well as some downright sick ones that I can mention too, and that is a part of the diversity of this planet that we are all working on.

Let’s continue together to make this planet the best it can be for all.

Now back to business to do just that…

Mark: Yeah, I saw it.

Before I get into critiquing this piece of shit, of course I mean Rand Paul, not my ex, let me suggest that you read my reasons why I can understand how some people can be easily duped by this slick video.  This is especially true if the people watching this video are weak in their understanding of civics. Of course if you’re weak in civics you may not understand what I mean, how our government, which is a republic, is set up with their checks and balances and the rules governing how laws and statutes work.

I’m not a lawyer and I’m not giving legal advice, however, as the commercial says, I’ve ben doing this blog for awhile and I’ve seen and heard a thing or two. So this tired simplistic BS by Rand to manipulate the public is a no brainer for me to critique.

In all transparency, because I am constantly learning, let me admit that I too learned a helluva lot about civics, which I probably slept through in class too, while researching how our forefathers set up these checks and balance for the Three Branches of government. I will also admit that I learned a great deal about how one can deliberately misread a statute in order to LIE. (That’s a nod to you Rand.)

The FBI did not deliver a “scathing” rundown of Hillary Clinton’s wrong doings. That is the demagogue’s putting words into the Director’s mouth. Comey cited errors in judgment he felt Hillary committed. Errors, I might add, that did not rise to the legal description of a violation of the Classified Secrets Act. No amount of effort by this idiot to rewrite the statute will change that.

The FBI didn’t show clearly, or in any other way, that Clinton violated classified procedures which rose to the level to make those violations criminal. Again Rand’s opinion has no weight of law because it is a slick attempt to manipulate people who don’t understand how one legally reads a statute. To determine if a person has risen to the level that they can be reasonably charged with a violation of that statute, one must abide by rules stated in the statute. Rand didn’t. Instead, like a slick used car salesman, Rand is playing upon that lack of knowledge by the public because he clearly ignored the first part of the statute which says this: 

(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, or publishes, or uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States or for the benefit of any foreign government to the detriment of the United States any classified information— See link: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/798 

Rand’s use of hyperbole in claiming Clinton, “carelessly and recklessly endangered national security-and did so repeatedly, over 100 times,” again is a slick attempt to inflame the listener. There is no proof that national security was endangered. And more importantly he fails to mention that he was talking about 100 out of more than 32,000 emails that were sent across Clinton’s server. In that light a 100 mistakes isn’t that much. But he doesn’t mention that because it would make his exaggeration seem petty.

The FBI Director announced that he would recommend to the Justice Department, who he is the investigative arm of that department, that in his investigation he found no violations of the law, as he understood it to read, that would require the DOJ to peruse a criminal case against the accused. So what you’re hearing from Rand is that he can read the statute that applies in this case better than, Comey, the man the Senate confirmed to do that job and do it INDEPENDENTLY for his 10 year appointment. I don’t think so.

The POTUS who appoints a Director of the FBI and the Senate confirms that appointment. However, the FBI is an Independent Administrative agency NOT an executive agency. It is designed that way to enable the FBI Director to be INDEPENDENT in his judgment doing his job as the Chief law enforcement officer of the nation.

(http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Independent+agencies+of+the+United+States+government)

The head of an Independent Agency cannot be removed by POTUS except for causes set forth in the statute. Rand knows this, but he subtly implies that the decision by the FBI director was somehow influenced by the Obama administration.

If one is ignorant of the civics which govern the appointment of the director of the FBI, then he/she can be conned into taking Rand’s bullshit as truth. Let me add, one should not be too embarrassed if you don’t know this, because I didn’t know until I researched it. So Mark, give Doug some slack.

Now that the Republicans didn’t get the inditement that they hoped would knock Clinton out of the race, he manufactures a crisis to give the republican controlled Congress an excuse to hold hearings to use tax payers money to campaign for the republican party against the democrats nominee for POTUS.  This charade is nothing more than a political scheme to get Trump elected. The republicans are notorious for doing whatever it takes for their party to be in control, even putting a narcissistic, pretentious, etc., etc., etc.. man like Trump at the helm.

Sadly civic challenged people like my ex Doug bought into the ruse. Perhaps a quick civics reminder may help. Doug: If you’re reading…I included a few links to help you. I know you’ll be excited about his because we worked so closely together on the statutes and laws during our suit against Well Fargo Bank.

The Federal Government was comprised by our founding fathers of Three Independent Branches of government. Each was empowered with distinct duties and powers that would give them the checks and balances to prevent any particular branch from usurping the powers of the other and thereby instituting a dictatorship.

This link provides a simple break down of those three branches. Once this simple background is mastered then a visit to this link would be appropriate to truly understand what I’m talking about when I suggest that Rand is attempting to use the oversight function of Congress to politic against the democratic nominee for POTUS, Clinton, to benefit the republican nominee for POTUS, Trump.

However, when the investigation didn’t go his way, he declared it an “outrage.” Then he went on to declare what he thought the penalty should be for his assessment of guilt.

Notice how he picks certain facts about a case and then declares it to be on point with Hilary’s case. Then he declares that since the fact are on point,  the penalties should be the same. This creep owes his election to gerrymandering and lies, but that doesn’t stop him from declaring how important the letter of the law should be. I would call him hypocritical but he’s just a plain LSOS – By the way, if he’s not already there,  let’s add him to the list of Lying Sacks Of Shit. (Rand: I hope you’re reading.)

The LSOS actually tries to make General Petraeus case similar to Hillary when he knows that the case is markedly different because Petraeus knew he was leaking classified material and admitted it. (And Doug: Snowden also knew he was leaking classified material) The creep shamelessly brings up the pains of others to make a false point that their cases were similar to Hillary when he knows that the only thing they have in common is all the cases involve Classified Materials.

He claims that the absence of intent is not necessary in the plain reading of the law. What was the creep reading then? Certainly not the law since “intent” figures prominently in its reading. Click here if you want to read more about Classified Material.

18 U.S. Code § 798 – Disclosure of classified information covers the disclosure of Classified information. Again, the opening statement reads:

(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, or publishes, or uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States or for the benefit of any foreign government to the detriment of the United States any classified information—

I may not be a lawyer but it says “knowingly…” unless my english is as bad as Rand that goes to intent. If you know you are doing something, then you intend to do that something.  I guess Rand’s “plain reading of the law” is different from the rest of us.

So Rand goes on to change the statute to read gross negligence is the standard rather than “knowingly and willfully…” What would you expect from a guy who would shut down the government and then accuse the other party of doing it. The republicans have a history of denying the very thing they are doing as if we, the people, are stupid.

Even on the gross negligence part of the statute he would lose because he lies again and tries to imply the number 100 implies gross negligence. That might work as long as the people whom he is lying to don’t learn that he is talking about 100 negligent acts out of 32,000 transmissions. Just a disgusting LSOS.

Then he makes the leap from convicting Hillary Clinton to declaring her unfit to run for the office of POTUS, which was his intention all along. I would’ve been astounded that Doug would fall for this blatant political partisan pitch until I did my research and realized that, but for my instinct that republicans are LSOSes, I would’ve given Rand’s video some serious consideration.

To recommend or suggest this is a video that anyone should take seriously shows a level of political naiveté that could be dangerous at a time when less informed people are attempting to select a POTUS that will change the course of our lives well beyond her term in office. That to me is scary. Please Doug, in the future, if you ever feel something a republican is saying has some validity, before you slap yourself, Google it.

Since I can see how the uninformed could be misled by this BS of Rand’s, I reluctantly have to say that Doug has been seriously mislead. This is NOT a video that suggest anything close to what Doug thinks it does.  I would think that anyone hearing this demagogue claiming that people have gone to jail for far less breaches of classified material would have done a little homework and checked. After all, Google is not only free, but readily available. My usual refrain when this happens is big L, little a, little z, y are you so goddamn Lazy?

Lazily merely accepting this creep’s assertion is just idiotic. I supposed it is easy to miss the familiar refrain at the end when the creep said “Director Comey and the Obama Administration…” a refrain denigrating Obama that every republican talking point has if you are too Lazy to check the creep’s facts.

Then he ends by declaring that America’s faith in the Justice system is in jeopardy, really, this coming from a party that ensures that money and anyone who has a lot of it gets special treatment.  Really, Doug, did you just suggest that everybody should listen to this blatantly bias political propaganda video, thinking that it had something to offer the public other than its blatant political advertisement for the republican party agenda, which is to defeat Hillary Clinton for POTUS?

Mark: I trust this answers your question  about Doug not getting the message. I also hope you’re not jealous of Doug’s big dick and the fact he can be a helluva lay. In the future when you preface or end a question with such incendiary remarks I also hope you can prove that you’re not doing it because you lack the attributes you’re knocking the other for having.

Don’t bother commenting with claims you do, send references, Doug has them.

Thoughts anyone?
