pollyannaish Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Sen. hopeful to reporter: 'Go f--k yourself' Michael Baumgartner, a Republican Senate candidate from the great state of Washington, has told a reporter at Seattle Met Magazine to "go f--k yourself" after asking him to clarify his position on abortion. LINK ---- Sent it in an email hours later with a picture of a recently killed Navy Seal. @pollyannaish @Chickadee Oh great. Why is the party self destructing? Baumgartner is a decent candidate. The article about him says: On Tuesday, the GOP followed the Akin controversy by approving a plank to its draft platform calling for a constitutional ban on abortion, without an exception for rape. Is that true? It doesn't really matter to me, but it seems like a really stupid time to be that stringent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollyannaish Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Michelle Obama is sooooo cool. I checked this out, and I'm not sure that its quite as cut and dried as the headlines. There is definitely a sex category, but there is a bunch of other stuff like parenting, makeovers, etc. It's just like any regular women's magazine you might pick up in the grocery store to be honest. Like Vogue or Cosmo. Any of those high end urban magazines. I don't subscribe to those, but I do occasionally pick them up at the hairdressers. The last time I went, I started reading Vogue. I was sitting next to a late middle aged man who was getting his grey covered up too. Anyway, I started getting really uncomfortable because I was shocked by the quantity of full nudity and used-to-be not mainstream sexuality in the magazine. To top it off, the feature article (not including the fifteen articles on how to keep your man happy) was sort of a day in the life of a...well...one of those people who take care of unsightly bikini lines and so forth. It was explicit. I didn't want to seem like a prude, so I sort of flipped through nonchalantly and then found a People magazine to read as quickly as possible. Poor guy kept glancing up and then looking down quickly and uncomfortably. But honestly, I would have been more comfortable reading something intellectual in Playboy. My point is, after all of this rambling, that it is not a sex site. It is an online Women's magazine. Laura Bush might show up in something more traditional like Good Housekeeping or Better Homes and Gardens. But a younger Urban woman like Michelle Obama wouldn't think twice about being in a magazine like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is self destructive. Good grief. How weird. Would never expect this from Mr. Baumgartner (thought he was smarter). Perhaps Baumgartner was looking for any type of publicity--even negative--but I doubt it. I do see him making this strong appeal to influence those who strongly oppose war, and especially the war in Afghanistan. That said, we all reach our tolerance level at times, and I believe "reporters" are known to have a way of pushing people's buttons. Some blogs I've seen on this are fairly supportive. The one I agreed with the most was, "this should be a non-issue." I will still vote for him, just not happy right now with his choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearvision Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Here comes the next slam on Romney.... “Big business is doing fine in many places,” Romney said. “They get the loans they need, they can deal with all the regulation. They know how to find ways to get through the tax code, save money by putting various things in the places where there are low tax havens around the world for their businesses.” Being compared to Obama saying economy is doing fine..... Big business is doing pretty well, cheap labor, cheap interest rates, etc. Have you looked at the stock market the past 4 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Oy vey. Romney is right. They did not say the same thing. Its very clear (at least to me) from the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, still has to be a hurricane, so far not so much. If the Florida, Alabama, Mississippi coasts can't handle a Cat 1 hurricane then they really don't need people living in that area.

Valin Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 "Word on the street is that Tampa hired Ray Nagin as an independent disaster management consultant." What his he doing these days you ask? This may come as a shock to you..I know it is to me. Fourth defendant pleads guilty in NOAH home-remediation scam Tuesday, July 31, 2012 Richard Hall, a defendant in the NOAH home-remediation scandal that dogged Mayor Ray Nagin's administration beginning in 2008, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to conspiracy and theft from a program receiving government funds. Hall, a Harvey contractor, admitted to conspiring to steal federal funds through New Orleans Affordable Housing, a quasi-city agency that administered grants for remediation work following Hurricane Katrina. Ray Nagin ordered to appear before grand jury, station reports August 20, 2012 WDSU-TV reported this afternoon that former Mayor Ray Nagin has been ordered to appear before a federal grand jury on Friday. The source of the station's information is unclear; the report simply says that "the WDSU I-Team has learned" of the scheduled appearance. The station says that the subpoena went out last week. (Snip) It's been well-publicized that the feds have been building a case against Nagin. The Times-Picayune reported in February that he was the subject of a federal probe, and in June, former city contractor Frank Fradella pleaded guilty to giving "Public Official A" -- who is known to be Nagin -- $50,000 and showering him with free granite for his family's countertop installation business. (Snip) A Democrat Mayor of NO being investigated on corruption charges... who could possible foreseen this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
