ProFlowers is the enemy. They are owned by Liberty Media.

edited to add: ProFlowers has suspended advertising of Limbaugh

ProFlowers is never going to drop Limbaugh, they are Limbaugh.

Liberty Media is the single largest shareholder of Murdoch's News Corporation.

Boycott ProFlowers and never ever go back. Tell your friends.

"That woman is a wanton shameless hussy."

Romney has said,

"I'll just say this, which is, it's not the language I would have used".

Since he doesn't distance himself from the intent or sentiment used it seems that Romney is objectioning simply to the vocabulary.

I have followed Romney for some time and have become something of a scholar on his mangled syntax, antiquated vocabulary and faux patrician voice.

I believe that the phrase "That woman is a wanton shameless hussy" best captures Willard Romney's most likely chosen phrase to express the same sentiment as Limbaugh's famous line. (Of course the fact that his reply was "it's not the language I would have used" is probably a better indicator of his poor communication skills than what he actually thought on the subject, but with Romney he mangles everything so much that all we can be sure of is that he likes the height of Michigan trees.)

I know that there are other informed Romney watchers out there so I challenge you to find the phrase that you think best expresses Mitts rendition of "The woman is a slut" comment.

Winner gets $ 10,000.

Mark your calendars for May14th.

The White House called a University and asked them if he could deliver their commencement address.

They said, "Yes".

Barnard College is a women's college that is one of the "Seven Sisters" and is closely tied to the President's alma mater.

The Republican Party, the pretend Republican candidates for the Presidency, Male Republican Senators and Congressman, Rush Limbaugh, Out of Touch Catholic Bishops, and a whole bunch of other clueless dolts are just about to be on the receiving end of;


A whole bunch of Presidential Whup Ass.



That you don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with a threatening women's right to access to medical care while we got a President named Barack Obama.

Update and Tribute thread to a great American, Shirley Sherrod.



Sometimes a truely great American pops on to the public radar and then fades and we don't hear about them for a long time.

One of those people that we don't want to forget is Shirley Sherrod.

Shirley Sherrod devoted her life to obtaining justice for those forgotten by the civil rights movement, minority rural farmers.

Shirley life was touched early by hatred when at the age of 17 her father was killed by a white farmer in Georgia. An all white grand jury refused to indict her father's murderer and several months later a cross was burned with the widow, four daughters and a new born son, who would never see his father, inside.

She went on to be one of the first students to integrate an all white school and was the first black woman elected to a county office in her county. She went on to finish college while working for SNCC and getting her masters.

She was a pioneer in civil rights action against the USDA discriminatory action against minority farmers and the class action lawsuit she filed was settled for $ 1 billion.

She joined the USDA as the first African American to serve as Director of Rural Development for Georgia.

She always served with grace and courage.

In 2010 she was the victim of a heavilly edited video by an unscrupulous and vile parasite who used the public square to market lies and engage in defamatory assissination of people that were much classier, more intelligent, more courageous and more honorable.

Two weeks ago the Federal District Judge threw out the bombastic blogger's motion to stop Shirley Sherrod's lawsuit to bring the cretin to the halls of justice and the unscrupulous predator of hate's estate will have to defend the lawsuit in Federal Court.

Justice may be delayed but when it is served it is very very sweet.
