WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Santorum backer Foster Friess: In his day, ‘gals’ used aspirin between their knees for birth control In an interview with Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC Thursday, billionaire Santorum backer Foster Friess said that debates over the candidate's personal objections to contraception are overblown, adding that, in his day, "gals" used aspirin as birth control. In a rather strange joke, Friess said: "This contraception thing, my gosh it's so inexpensive. Back in my day they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives, the gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly." Friess is presumably saying all women who didn't want to become pregnant were abstinent and thus had no need for birth control. MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell stuttered for a moment before saying, "Excuse me, I'm just trying to catch my breath from that." Earlier in his comments, Friess dismissed the debate over Santorum's personal objections to birth control as a waste of time, saying that America has bigger problems to face. But his colorful comments suggest birth control will not be leaving the headlines any time soon. With friends like this, Santorum doesn't need enemies...

WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 F-16s intercept unauthorized small plane, later found to be carrying marijuana stash near Los Angeles Two F-16 fighters intercepted an aircraft Thursday after a flight restriction violation near Los Angeles, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, said in a statement. The privately owned Cessna airplane entered the same airspace as Marine One, the helicopter that was ferrying President Obama, around noon. A law enforcement official says police discovered about 40 pounds of marijuana inside after it landed at Long Beach Airport. The Secret Service says the president was never in any danger. There was no immediate word on arrests related to the drug discovery. The two fighters, under the direction of the bi-national American and Canadian command, quickly responded to the violation. After intercepting the aircraft, the NORAD fighters followed it until it landed, and it was met by local law enforcement without incident. Maybe it was just bringing Obama his weed?

Like Islam.....the Progressives do not allow humor.......especially when it comes to women's reproductive "rights." Progressive women must have the right to kill their fetus unborn child, if it inconveniences them. Responsibility be damned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

righteousmomma Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Personal candidate choices aside I have to agree with Coulter on this one ( and more or less same viewpoint as Rush on the ridiculousness of it all.) One theory for why Barack Obama pushed the contraception mandate right now is that it helps Rick Santorum. Others theorize it's because Obama is an anti-religious bigot with a left-wing agenda. Reasonable minds can disagree on this. But it may end up helping Mitt Romney by reminding people that the "individual mandate" is the least of the problems with ObamaCare. (The "individual mandate" is simply the legal argument for why ObamaCare is unconstitutional in a country that has accepted Social Security and Medicare as constitutional.) This isn't a Catholic issue or even a religious issue. Conservatives are falling into the Democrats' trap by denouncing it as such. It's a freedom issue. (Or, as Democrats call it, "the F-word.") If liberals like it, it's subsidized; if they don't, it's prohibited. And now they can impose their left-wing authoritarianism on the entire country by calling their mandates and prohibitions "insurance." Liberal fundamentalists say: I don't see why anyone needs to hunt; I don't know why anyone needs to eat meat; I don't see why anyone needs to bathe every day; I don't know why anyone minds looking at urine in a low-flow toilet; I don't know why anyone needs an incandescent light bulb ... Screw you, liberals. I don't know why anyone needs an abortion, free contraception, crap-ass "art" with photos of vaginas on the Virgin Mary, non-farming farmers or a $1 million pension for Anthony Weiner. But I'm forced to subsidize all of that. And now we're all going to be forced to subsidize the entire wish list of the Berkeley City Council, recast as "health insurance." Insurance is not supposed to be for normal expenses in the ordinary course of events, such as multivitamins, house painting or oil changes. Insurance is for unexpected catastrophes: fires, accidents, cancer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Maxine Waters ethics case: 6 committee members recuse selves While Washington lawyer Billy Martin has yet to complete his report, which will help determine whether the case against Waters proceeds, he recommended the recusals, according to a letter from Bonner read on the House floor Friday. "These recusal requests are not based on any indication of any wrongdoing or inappropriate partisanship by members," the letter says, adding that the outside counsel has "not discovered any evidence to indicate actual bias or partiality by any current member or staff."

WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Herman Cain calls half the electorate ‘either stupid or ignorant’ The former GOP presidential hopeful, campaigning on behalf of former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), told a crowd at Collins Hill High School here that when it came to voters, “50 percent of the American people do fall in the category of either stupid or ignorant as to what’s going on in this country.” As the audience applauded, the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza kept going. “Some people don’t like me because I tell the truth like it is,” Cain said. “Those of us who are informed outnumber the stupid people, but not if we stay home.” People are always stupid when you lose, or get caught in a scandal...

Before breaking for a commercial, Jackson got up to shake Morgan and O'Brien's hands saying, "We're going to the cemetery." Flack then held out her fist saying, "Let's have an Obama bump here." Morgan and O'Brien obliged with the latter saying, "Absolutely." As if the President and the First Lady originated this practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hmm, overly sensitive here? Several hours after the Knicks' Lin-spired winning streak was snapped by the New Orleans Hornets, ESPN ran the headline "Chink In The Armor" to accompany the game story on mobile devices. ESPN's choice of words was extremely insensitive and offensive considering Lin's Asian-American heritage. According to Brian Floyd at SB Nation, the headline appeared on the Scorecenter app. The offensive headline was quickly noticed, screen grabs, Twit pics and Instagrams were shared and it began circulating widely on Twitter. The use of the word "chink" is especially galling as Lin has revealed that this racial slur was used to taunt him during his college playing career at Harvard. After a brief run, the headline was changed to "All Good Things.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sean Penn and Me H. W. Crocker, III 2/20/12 I know I shouldn't, but I always feel a sense of personal responsibility when Sean Penn says something stupid. You see, it was my father who taught him history -- or at least sort of. For some, Sean Penn's most famous role -- something he might regret -- is as the pothead surfer dude Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. His strict, disciplinarian U.S. history teacher in that film, Mr. Hand, was my dad. I don't mean the actor who portrayed Mr. Hand, Roy Walston. I mean the real U.S. history teacher at Clairemont (Ridgemont) High on whom Mr. Hand was based. (Snip) Penn's latest inanity is to have called the Falkland Islands "the Malvinas Islands of Argentina" and to say that "the world today is not going to tolerate any ludicrous and archaic commitment to colonialist ideology" -- this in reference to Britain's defense of the people of the Falkland Islands, most of whom (about 70 percent) are of British descent (most of the rest are Scandinavian), and who have been ruled by Britain since 1833 (the British originally claimed the islands in 1765) and don't want to be conquered by the Argentines. (Snip) Like Jeff Spicoli, I went to Clairemont (Ridgemont) High. I didn't take my dad's history course, but I still managed to learn a fair bit. And as I recall the surfer dudes in my class were smarter than the average student. I can't imagine any of them thinking or talking like Sean Penn. When the Falklands War erupted (while I was in college), the surfers I knew thought Britain's imperial response -- the Royal Marines, the Harrier jump jets, Prince Andrew in his Sea King helicopter -- was "totally bitchin'." I'm with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
