  1. Another cornerstone of the Ultra Right-Wing Dynasty goes down in the flames of it’s own rhetoric.

    Don’t cross the NRA, or else..uh…something…uh..

    “NRA opposition fails to sway senators on Sotomayor”

    “WASHINGTON-The National Rifle Association’s threat to punish senators who vote for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor has been met with a shrug by Democrats from conservative-leaning states and some Republicans who are breaking with their party to support her.

    “The gun rights group is used to getting its way by spooking lawmakers about the political consequences of defying its wishes. But it never before has weighed in on a Supreme Court confirmation battle. It was cautious about breaking that pattern, and it looks like a losing a fight to defeat President Barack Obama’s first pick for the court.

    “Sotomayor is expected to easily win confirmation in a vote this coming week that could deflate the long-accepted truism in Washington that you don’t cross the NRA.”

  2. Was headed to work yesterday at approx 17:15 hours, caught a snippet of craig silverman and bothways on khow while channel surfing the radio.

    Well, it’s official. silverman has joined the birther movement, co-incidentally on the same day green zone coffman (r-CD6) announced he has.

    silverman’s angle is that the President won’t release his birth certificate because it shows the President to be of Muslim faith. When he ran that con, beauprez typically clumsily and gooberishly here-here’d it. Had to go to work, so I missed out on what surely was a priceless call in or two from the faithfull.  

    Never ceases to amaze me how talk shows consistently pander to their demographics. And that 3-6 khow demographic is straight out of “Deliverance”.  

    1. ….darn, on here somewhere.  I’m sure.

      Those people are, pardon the language, fucking stupid. Morons. No B.C. has the person’s faith on it.  And even if it did, here’s a shock, birfers, BEING MUSLIM AND BEING PRESIDENT IS OK!  I guess he just hung out in Rev. Wright’s church for a couple of decades to throw off the scent.

      And most people don’t have their birth certificate, I guess no one, actually. At best, a certified copy from the state’s health department. You need one, or at least used to, to get a passport.  

      1. I don’t know about the religion.  The copy of my birth certificate which I recently obtained from PA looks just like Obama’s.  I have another certificate from the hospital, which does not have a raised seal on it and does have a religious affiliation.

        Silverman and Caplis are two examples of why the American Bar Association should develop guidelines for its members who are also media talk hosts….not legal analysts, but giving partisan political commentary.

         Is Silverman  supposed to be,  the “liberal” counterpoint to Caplis?.  IMHO, I think they are the favorite of gays all over town.   Caplis is agressive and Silverman is soooooo passive….I can’t have their show on if I have kids in the car…ever try explaining to an eight year old girl what the words ” male genitalia”  mean?   Talk about your teachable moments.

        1. It’s a courtesy thing, fun to have while everyone is giddy.  I learned this when I went to get a passport many years ago.  I had to get the certified copy from MA.

        2. what you mean by this?:

          IMHO, I think they are the favorite of gays all over town.

          Also, do you know if Silverman or Caplis are members of the ABA?  Even if they were, why wouldn’t they simply quit if the ABA started being mean to them?  It’s not as if any lawyer, practicing law or not, has to be a member of the ABA.

          1. Gays on the east side, gays on the west side — downtown gays and uptown gays … pretty much gays who hail from all over town. Is the phrase really that ambiguous?

        1. That a baby’s footprint matched the mother’s thumb print and so it was used for identification….however, my mother was Irish….and who know where she got that….she also said that birthmarks were where the angel kissed you when you came off the assembly line in heaven…which I still believe……

      1. It is actually against the rules for anyone who would actually have seen an actual birth certificate from Hawaii or even worse, HAVE an actual birth certificate from Hawaii to chime in…..it could possibly stop this more than year long discussion and then what would we talk about?

        If it weren’t for speculation, gossip, etc, where would we be:)
