‘Whose Face Can You Save’ by Max and the Marginalized

Posted by BuelahMan on April 24, 2008

Since No One’s Making Any Noise About the Pentagon Sock Puppets…

From Max (featured at HuffPo): It has now been four days since the Times broke the story of the Pentagon sock puppets. The networks in question have all but refused to make any noise about this, so we did.

Whose Face Can You Save?

They’re retired, still spitting in the feed
The doctored up analysis mapped out to mislead
Get creative with the facts
Cyrano de Bergeracs just offscreen
The floating Chyrons omit
The names of these morticians who wrote the script
Put some credits where they’re due
Right on message right on cue, and quite full of it
What a humorless skit
Where the cue cards from the coroners read illegitimate

They’ve got their hands in the backs of the heads when they start talking
So falsely detached from the corpses in the coffins
They fire off the blanks and the pallbearers starting towards the grave
Whose face can you save?

The network knows it’s no good for its health
To turn the camera around and focus on itself
A bit of fiction for me and you
Good thing they take those medals off before they do
They’ll hang around until the story goes away
It’ll fall right off the page just give it a couple of days
There’s so much spin to sell all along the road to hell
So get on your way, and watch what you say
Won’t someone tell me, is this ABC or the DPRK

They’ve got their hands in the backs of the heads when they start talking
So falsely detached from the corpses in the coffins
They fire off the blanks and the pallbearers starting towards the grave
Whose face can you save?

My cynicism’s goalposts moved again
Profiteers and puppeteers will get theirs in the end

They’ve got their hands in the backs of the heads when they start talking
So falsely detached from the corpses in the coffins
They fire off the blanks and the pallbearers starting towards the grave
Whose face can you save?

WTF Thursday Redux: Shrinking Penis Panic (BEWARE!!!)

Posted by BuelahMan on April 24, 2008

Shrinking penis panic causes chaos in Congo

Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men’s penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.

Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.

Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo’s sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.

Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.

“You just have to be accused of that, and people come after you. We’ve had a number of attempted lynchings. … You see them covered in marks after being beaten,” Kinshasa’s police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, told Reuters on Tuesday.

B’Man’s Patriot Watch: Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR04)

Posted by BuelahMan on April 24, 2008

Every now and again, I am surprised…

I believe it’s April Fool’s Day here on the floor of the House.  To hear the members of the GOP – the Grand Old Oil Party – talking about how they’re there for the consumers, they want to do something to help American consumers. The same party that benefits disproportionately from massive campaign contributions from the oil and gas and coal industries.  The same party that holds the White House, with two oil men in the White House.  The same party, on the Senate side, defeated our energy provisions because they would have God forbid, made the oil and gas companies pay taxes like other members of the corporate committee.  It would have taken away subsidies.  They’re crying crocodile tears about the massive profits that their buddies are making, their campaign contributors, their sponsors.  And the president, the oil man.  And the vice president, the oil man supply services company.

Q:  Will the gentleman yield?

No, I won’t yield.  Thank you very much.

Now, there’s a few things we could do.  Now, the president’s a big free trader, right?  He’s trying to push us into more free trade agreements.  They say they work great.  He wants “rules-based trade.”   Well, we’re in the WTO, they have rules. The rules say you can not restrict the supply of a commodity simply to drive up the price.  That’s what OPEC’s doing.  Now five members of OPEC are in the WTO.  Will this president – the oil man –- the friend of the Saudis and the others – will he file a complaint in the World Trade Organization against OPEC?  No.  I wrote to him three years ago, asking him to do that.  The answer was no.  If the Saudis and the OPEC countries want to get together and collude to drive up the price of the oil, that’s just fine with George Bush.  He’s all for free trade, and rules-based trade, except when the rules might hurt some of his buddies.  And then, the oil industry just piggy backs on top of that.

Now, there is another thing they could do. They can help us with a provision we put in the Farm bill, which is stalled in the Senate, which would close the Enron loophole. Remember Enron? Ken Boy, the President’s favorite guy? He just died before he went to jail. Well, the Enron boys convinced the Republican Congress to give them a special loophole, to deregulate energy commodities, to allow for massive speculation. And there is widespread agreement in the financial community that about 50 cents of the price that’s being paid at the pump today is being paid purely because of speculation brought about by the Enron loophole. You really want to do something about the high price of oil?  Help us close the Enron loophole. Get your president to file a complaint against OPEC for colluding to drive up the price of oil. Help strip out the taxpayers’ subsidies to the oil, coal and gas industry. You are taking out of their wallets while you are taking it out of their pockets at the pump.

Hillary Clinton: “Tide Is Turning,” Expects to Win Democratic Presidential Primary By 2013

Posted by BuelahMan on April 24, 2008

From my friend at How Insane Is John McCain: a post explaining Hillary’s purpose in this race for President.

Hillary Clinton: “Tide Is Turning,” Expects to Win Democratic Presidential Primary By 2013

WASHINGTON – After besting Barack Obama by 9 points in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton declared to a crowd of ten supporters on Wednesday, “The tide is turning. By 2013 I expect to have overtaken Barack Obama and I will be thrilled to take on John McCain’s corpse in the general election!”

In a seemingly interminable primary battle that has left both candidates bruised and battered, Clinton’s victory in Pennsylvania did not seem to alter the fundamentals of the Democratic primary or Barack Obama’s insurmountable lead in pledged delegates and the popular vote.

According to Clinton advisors, this overlooks some key fundamentals of the race.

“You’ve got it all wrong,” said Clinton advisor Terry McAuliffe. “2008 doesn’t count.”

Clinton advisors point to her victories in “big states that count” such as California, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania as evidence she can eventually beat Obama given enough time and do-overs, while dismissing Obama’s victories in Illinois, South Carolina, Missouri, Virginia and Maryland. They feel that Clinton’s support among the minority of Democratic voters who matter makes the case that Clinton can be the best Democratic candidate to lose to John McCain.

“Who better to lose to McCain than me?” Clinton declared. “I am the only candidate who can bring America together and unify the Democratic party to vote against me in the Fall.”

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said Wednesday that he increasingly feels that he is trapped in a bad zombie movie.

“I wake up every morning thinking people are going to finally admit she’s dead and this race is over. And every day I open up the newspaper she’s got a new zinger about Barack that’s not even remotely funny. I mean, look at this one today: ‘It’s a long road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and it runs right through the heart of Pennsylvania.’ I mean, seriously. Who writes this shit? Carrot Top?”

According to Bill Clinton, Hillary has not yet begun to lose.

“Hillary is a fighter,” Clinton said. “She can go down in flames with the best of them. Remember ‘94 after the health care debacle? Ha ha! We had to lock her in the basement she was so radioactive.”

WTF Thursday: Obama Wants to Enslave White People

Posted by BuelahMan on April 24, 2008

Its the old sleight of hand thing I keep talking about. The evil Barack Obama is brainwashing America into voting for him, so that when he is president, he can finally enslave all white people.

Very funny.

Memphis, TN: Terrorist Distribution Hub of the USA

Posted by BuelahMan on April 24, 2008

Thank Goodness Dawg didn’t go home that weekend.

Seriously, what do these yahoos who are reporting this think they are doing? Scaring us like Big Brother wants them too. Or are they simply gullible rednecks, too?

They even recruited an Engish guy for our Coast Guard unit in the Mississippi River. Thank God for our allies in this war on terror.
