Two things. It's never a good idea to call a woman a "skank" or a "ho", and I always thought that one loses certain protections once one became a public person.

As I said, it's never a good idea to call a woman a "skank" or a "ho"…

Liskula Cohen, 36, is seeking a court order that would force Google to reveal the person or persons behind the postings so she can hold them accountable with a defamation lawsuit.

The anonymous bloggers have "posted entries, including photographs, captions to the photographs and commentary solely about Liskula Cohen that describe her as a 'skank' and a 'ho,' " her filing in Manhattan Supreme Court says.

Cohen hopes to at least force a level playing field by exposing her tormenter.

If that's the worse she's been called, Ms. Cohen needs to get a life.

On the Today Show, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow implied that the United States wouldn't do such bad things to innocent people under a Leon Panetta-led intelligence infrastructure.

She may want to have someone revise those so-well-recited talking points.

Liberals might be in for a nasty shock with Leon Panetta, the man Barack Obama wants to lead the CIA. The selection of the former White House chief of staff to Bill Clinton has been welcomed by many Democrats for his denunciations of torture and all round management abilities.

But according to one former agent, Michael Scheuer, the extraordinary rendition programme that has so tainted the agency during the Bush administration actually began in the Clinton administration, when Panetta would, or should, have been fully aware of it.

Whoops.

Got a recitation for that, Rachel?

Barack Obama flat out lied about "hope" and "change".

President-elect Barack Obama took big money from a man at the center of a federal probe that has forced one of Obama's top Cabinet picks to withdraw.

Financial records show the Obama campaign got more than $30,000 from California financier David Rubin, the target of an investigation into donations and possible "pay-to-play" deals involving New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Obama's pick for commerce secretary.

There was hardly any "change" involved with his campaign. It's always been about dollar bills, no matter where they came from.

When you opt to dump Ann Coulter because she may say something unkind about your beloved Barack Obama, (and that's not what the American people want to hear…) replace her with an Air America alumnus so she can bash the outgoing George W. Bush (because that's what's said out in the open at the Peacock net).

Let's change the subject, if possible. On Obama's choice of Leon Panetta as CIA Director…

Well, I think that he made a bold choice in Leon Panetta, and we have seen from Barack Obama a lot of leadership by building consensus, by making people not disagree with him about important and hot-button issues. But on Panetta that was an, "elections have consequences" moment. If you were in the Bush administration and which, with, with warrantless wiretapping and enhanced interrogation, torture. With rendition, with these other controversial policies in the intelligence community, that's not going to be a career asset. And if you were a Democratic senator in an intelligence oversight role, while all these things were happening, your objections may not be the most important thing for this new president looking to make a clean break.
— Rachel Maddow, The Today Show, 1/6/09

If all these liberals are such independent thinkers (especially considering what MSNBC must be paying for Maddow's musings), how come they all recite the same debunked crap? Can she name anyone, aside from her own paranoid narrow ass, that's been warrantless wiretapped, enhanced interrogated, and tortured?

I get tired of asking questions and getting no answers.

On one hand, we complain about illegals disrespecting our sovereign border, then we throw the very men and women enforcing our borders under the bus.

Last week, Pennsylvania Republican Congressman Charlie Dent became another influential voice calling on President Bush to pardon two former border patrol agents convicted of shooting an unarmed drug smuggler who was trying to escape across the US-Mexico border. Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean are serving more than 10 years each for shooting Osvaldo Davila in the buttocks while he was fleeing from an abandoned van loaded with 750 pounds of marijuana.

The officers, pleading not guilty, argued that they thought Davila, a Mexican with a record of drug smuggling, was armed. Nevertheless, they were convicted two years ago in federal court in Texas of assault, civil rights violations and trying to cover up the shooting. In fact, the officers were unaware that the suspect was shot because he made good his escape across the border the night of the incident. Davila, given full immunity for his testimony, was the witness that convicted them.

Before President Bush pardons a liberal or two to give that New Tone thing a final bow, let's hope he remembers the millions of us who elected him twice, and show some compassion to Scooter and two federal law enforcement officers who have been imprisoned, thanks to an opportunistic assistant US attorney and a slimy Mexican drug dealer whose word was more acceptable than our agents.

Now that Barack Obama is going to get an earfull about reparations for black people, the following clip serves as a possible preview as to what's coming.

Jewish girls don't play.

Next month, Black & Right will be seven years young.

Since starting, I've appeared on dozens of radio and television stations nationwide (including CNN and C-SPAN) explaining positions appearing here. I've recorded over 180 weekly radio rants, produced and edited more than 80 television programs for cable access (in four states) and the web, spoken publicly at forums and institutions of higher learning, worked with conservative organizations around the country, run for office, written commentary cited by some of those honored, and tackled perspectives some of this year's nominees wouldn't dare touch. Yet, we've been passed over again.

Nah, I'm not bitter.

When Alan Keyes ran for United States Senate against Barack Obama, he shocked many when he pledge for some sort of reparations for black people. Obviously he must have known what the "core" constituency wanted.

It appears a core constituency now has the ear of President-Elect Barack Obama and he may be listening…

A group called the Los Angeles Reparations NOW-Promissory Note Coalition seeks to get President Obama’s attention by an open letter which invokes Dr. Martin Luther Kings’s speech in 1963. The letter says in part: “Being the First African-American or Black-adopted ‘son of the slaves’ in the White House as the Chief Executive of this nation, you can, after your inauguration, immediately by Executive Order implement the mechanism that will complete the unfinished business of all Congressional Civil Rights Acts, including Reparations, that the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called the Promissory Note.

It will be very interesting to watch the debate ensue should Obama decide to bail out blacks, which will again bring up many dicey issues. For example, will Barack Obama himself only be eligible for half reparations as his mother was white, and if so, will his white half have to pay the black half, thus he gets nothing?

Very interesting indeed….

An oldie but goodie…
