"Michelle’s exit from the Let’s Move campaign coincided with growing reports and a widely circulated satirical video alleging that the new food guidelines were leaving children hungry. The bad publicity clashed with President Obama’s efforts to stir support among young voters for his candidacy. Many of Obama’s campaign events were held at high schools – presumably among students who might have been attending rallies on relatively empty stomachs. "Let’s Move was also proving a jui ...

DH received this in the mail. I filled it out for him and at the end where they asked for donations, put a zero in and wrote in big letters "Ha Ha!" Officials of both parties are sharply criticizing a fundraising mailing from Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele they say could be confused with official correspondence regarding this year’s census. The fundraising letter comes in the form of a “survey,” a frequently used device for partisan fundraising, but this ...

First Posted: 9/1/11 06:14 PM ET Updated: 9/1/11 11:02 PM ET By Brad Poole TUCSON, Ariz (Reuters) - The Republican Party in Representative Gabrielle Giffords' home county is raising eyebrows by raffling off a Glock handgun -- the same brand handgun with which Giffords, a Democrat, was shot through the head in January. "When I first heard about this last week in an email, I said 'That's a joke, a sick joke. Nobody could be doing that,'" said Pima County Democratic Part ...

Over the weekend, when both men stumped across Iowa, rampant controversy raged across websites about their respective audiences. Trump insisted his crowds at the State Fair were the largest for any candidate. Sanders' supporters upheld their claim to the same distinction. More objective observers tended to side with Sanders, while also noting that Trump's throngs were at least partially drawn to his helicopter, in which he gave rides to children, among others. http://www.npr.org/s ...

Has anyone looked into the background of this so-called co-ed? Just wondering. http://www.jammiewf.com/2012/sandra-flukes-appearance-is-no-fluke/ ...

I am not too sympathetic. She was rude to the officer. I was taught to respect authority, be it teachers, police, etc. I know that some cops are bullies. In the way back, boys with long hair were routinely pulled over just because of their appearance. It was not fair, but each incidence did not warrant a media event. I was with my bf and we were arrested and put in the cruiser. They treated us rudely and told us we could not speak to each other. My ...

I have read and followed the Sandra Bland case wtih some interest, due to my own personal experience back in April. I was arrested and taken to a local county jail on a VERY minor charge. At the time of my arrest, I was living on a ranch, whch had a gate which was padlocked at ALL times. The cops proceeded to park their squad cars at the end of the gate and walk about a quarter to a half mile to my residence to arrest me. I will be 60 in a few months, I am white, an ...

...it's really a surprisingly small crowd considering that Seattle is one of our flagship communist cities, two clicks worse than San Francisco, even, with a dozen colleges and universities of well over 100,000 combined student bodies. 15,000 is meh! We Seattle locals affectionately call it "Moscow On the Sound". For fun, on Saturdays we Moscovites line up at vacant grocery stores (of which we have been "liberally" supplied - pun intended) and practice waiting for hours f ...

For the conservatives on the board, this may come in handy if the OWS goons insist on taking up residence wherever they feel they are "entitled." Oh, and don't mind the looting, raping, drug dealing, and horrible stench because those aren't the real occupiers, they are plants by the republicans to make the real occupiers look bad.

Protesters sitting on the ground supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement on the campus of the University of California, Davis, on Saturday took a face full of pepper spray at close range from an officer in riot gear in an incident that was captured on cellphone video and spread virally across the internet. Follow link below to video. UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi described the video images as "chilling" and said she was forming a task force to investigate even as a faculty group called f ...

"I love being home in this place where Ann and I were raised, where both of us were born," he said. "Ann was born at Henry Ford hospital, I was born at Harper hospital. No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised." Wasn't there just a post about far-right influence on the Republican party (as well as the disappointment with such)? ...

The man has been arrested after injuring more than 30 people. A seven-year-old boy is reportedly among the three people killed in Austria by a man who ploughed his car into crowds in the country’s second-largest city and then reportedly started stabbing people. A witness told the Wiener Zeitung newspaper that dead bodies were left lying face down in the road after the vehicle sped through streets near the the historical Herrengasse in Graz. The killing only stopped when the driver pa ...

Fox uses old Palin crowd footageFox's Sean Hannity apologized last week after the Daily Show caught the host showing footage of the larger crowd at the 9/12 rally when discussing a smaller, anti-health care reform event.

One was for an outstanding warrant, one for public drinking, and one was an antiabortion protestor for annoying other attendees and violating a court order. Three. (None for marijuana, BTW.) The protestor had climbed a tree at the Mall and was yelling (as one would expect of a protestor, of course) throughout the ceremonies. Police couldn't talk him down, and he he climbed 40 feet up to avoid them, so they decided to let him be--for 5 cold hours--and when he finally climbed down he was arr ...

This insane screamer is going viral – and you can see, er- hear why. During a “March 4 Trump” rally in Lake Oswego, Oregon, a woman (we think she’s a woman) showed up to try and interfere with the several hundred people gathered at the pro-President Trump event. going viral. There were several counter-protesters. One person who attended the event told the Independent Journal Review that there were close to 1000 anti-trump protesters, most of them from Portland. But it was one ...

Chrysler's statement (and italics): "Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China." BTW, the Daily Beast calls this an example of Romney's many "**-You lies," "dishonesty so blatant, so consciously abusive of facts that everyone knows." My indignant descriptions have been much longer, but their...very succint version says it all. ...

In a Boston comedy show last night, comedian Wanda Sykes was loudly booed by large portions of the audience near the end of her set as she referred to President-elect Donald Trump as a “racist, sexist, homophobic person.” Sykes set at the Comics Come Home benefit show in the TD Garden, hosted by Dennis Leary, was pretty much an anti-Trump tirade, coming on the heels of Tuesday’s shocking victory by the real estate mogul. At one point, she described Trump as an “orangutan,” stating s ...

"Not only is this classless and desperate failure of a president violating the long-held tradition of not campaigning during the other party's convention, but with the knowledge that tomorrow is the day Isaac is expected to hit land, Obama's decided that would be a perfect opportunity to gallivant around the country playing politician." - John Nolte. ...
