Erica Jong - blood in the streets - Another diva??? Heh!!

The above picture is 36 years old, so heaven knows what she looks like now.

I suppose she is best known for "Fear of Flying," a book that I confess I never read so I won't comment on. I know of no particular success she has enjoyed since then, falling into what I call the "one hit wonder" category of authors, musicians and singers.

The question is, where do these aging divas come from, and why do they get press time?

Better yet, why doesn't someone condemn her for saying such things as she said as encouraging violence. Or is it only Sarah Palin who can do that??

Erica Jong Tells Italians Obama Loss 'Will Spark the Second American Civil War. Blood Will Run in the Streets'

The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged."

"My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried. Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email to tell me that she cried all night and can't cure her ailing back for all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves."

"My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium."

"After having stolen the last two elections, the Republican Mafia…"

"If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it's not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets."

"Bush has transformed America into a police state, from torture to the imprisonment of reporters, to the Patriot Act."

The very best thing that can happen is for these people to get as much time in the public eye as possible!

Obama shuts off press coverage... can you spell dictatorship???

ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG!!

NO QUESTIONS ARE PERMITTED!!! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE TRAIN AND BOX CARS!!

The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states -- and all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for president!

The NY POST, WASHINGTON TIMES and DALLAS MORNING NEWS have all been told to move out by Sunday to make room for network bigwigs -- and possibly for the inclusion of reporte

rs from two black magazines, ESSENCE and JET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

If you haven't figured out what Hussein will do if elected this should give you a clue.

And the above is after they shut down the Flordia paper for asking questions they dislike.

Who is Grace Jones?

And why should I care that she doesn't like Governor Palin??

Jamaican-born disco diva Grace Jones said she was sorry Hillary Clinton had failed to make the cut in the US election and that she "can't stand" folksy vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

The 1980s style icon, now 60, told German magazine TV Spielfilm Wednesday that Palin stood for a backward vision of America laden with government restrictions of sexuality and social behaviour.

And why is she a diva, much less worthy of anyone paying attention to her politics?

In 1981, Jones slapped chat show host Russell Harty across the face live on air after he turned to interview other guests and she felt she was being ignored...

In 1973, Jones played the role of Mary, a drug courier in Harlem in the film Gordon's War. Jones' work as an actress in mainstream film began with the role of Zula, the Amazon in the 1984 film Conan the Destroyer alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain. She next landed the role of May Day in the 1985 James Bond movie A View to a Kill.

It must be the body of serious artistic work she has completed....

No.....perhaps it is this...

Jones recorded two albums during the 1990s but they remain unreleased thus far

I think we can make that an aging diva..

On TalkLeft, a left wing blog I sometimes hangout at one of the commentators opined that Joe the Plumber's foreign policy/political opinions are equal to are better than the average icon "star" of the Left. I think his moniker is WileCoyote.... I know he was right.

Australia gets Internet censorship ready

The road to hell is always paved with good intentions.

If they can block these then they can block anything. That would also be news amd information critical of the government.

AUSTRALIA will join China in implementing mandatory censoring of the internet under plans put forward by the Federal Government.

The revelations emerge as US tech giants Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, and a coalition of human rights and other groups unveiled a code of conduct aimed at safeguarding online freedom of speech and privacy.

The government has declared it will not let internet users opt out of the proposed national internet filter.

The plan was first created as a way to combat child pronography and adult content, but could be extended to include controversial websites on euthanasia or anorexia.

Communications minister Stephen Conroy revealed the mandatory censorship to the Senate estimates committee as the Global Network Initiative, bringing together leading companies, human rights organisations, academics and investors, committed the technology firms to "protect the freedom of expression and privacy rights of their users".

Looks like Aussie's kangroo will be tied down, dear chums. Sad.

First October snow in London since 1922

Is it possible that God is trying to send us a message?

You know, it just can't get any better than this when the Brit's government is
debating on how to screw their economy even further up we have this:

Snow fell as the House of Commons debated Global Warming yesterday - the first October fall in the metropolis since 1922. The Mother of Parliaments was discussing the Mother of All Bills for the last time, in a marathon six hour session.

The US Senate has Senator James Inhofe, but in the Commons, there wasn't an out-and-out sceptic to be found. It was 90 minutes before anyone broke the liturgy of virtue. When Peter Lilley, in amazement, asked why there hadn't been a cost/benefit analysis made of such a major change in policy, he was told to shut up by the Deputy Speaker.

This is known as the Idiot Leader Syndrome.

Recently the American media has begun to notice the odd incongruity of saturation media coverage here which insists that global warming is both man-made and urgent, and a British public which increasingly doubts either to be true. 60 per cent of the British population now doubt the influence of humans on climate change, and more people than not think Global Warming won't be as bad "as people say".

This is known as the People Are Smart Syndrome.

Both figures are higher than a year ago - and the poll was taken before the non-summer of 2008, and the (latest) credit crisis.

In Seattle those are known as Green Tomato Summers. And I think everyone noticed the economy going belly up.... Except the House of Commons.

Arugula and Marxism. The Obama story

- On a sunlit Friday afternoon in July, Barack Obama stopped by Beverly Van Fossen's farm in Adel, Iowa, to speak about "rural issues." It was standard Hawkeye State stumping—until the senator took a stab at sympathizing with farmers whose crop prices have stagnated. "Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?" he asked.

Unfortunately, Adel isn't exactly arugula country. "Someone near me whispered, 'What's arugula?' " says Van Fossen, 74. " 'You can't find that in Iowa'." Same goes for Whole Foods. The closest locations, reported The New York Times that evening, are in Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Kans., and Minneapolis. Whoops. Right-wing bloggers pounced. The dishy Wonkette called Obama a "super rich Ivy League elitist." Peter Feld, a former Michael Dukakis staffer, wrote on Powers-Point.com that a similar slip by his ex-boss—the suggestion that Iowans grow "Belgian endive"—surfaced repeatedly in 1988 attack ads. C'est la vie politique.

The above was written about 15 months ago during the primaries.

But it hasn't gone away. From arugula to bitter red necks clinging to their guns and religion to his laughing at Joe the Plunber while pushing his Marxist agenda we have come to know him.

Michelle and Lobster - Update

Or.... Do as I say, not as I do.....

Or... You can take the girl out of Chicago but you can't take Chicago out of the girl..

Or... I think a nice Chardonnay... say a Marquis de Laguiche Joseph Drouhin Montrachet 2004... Only $950 US. Would go well, don't you?

Hat tip to Jimmy M!

UPDATE - weeder gander advises that the Lady Michelle was not at the Waldorf.. OK.

In the interest of fairness I will take this down when all the posts are taken down that accused Palin from claiming her daughter's baby as her own....that she banned books...that she called Hussein "Sambo".....that her religion is like witchcraft... and that Cindy McCain's Repub Convention out cost thousands... I could name more but you get the idea...

In the meantime just ignore the receipt.... But not what she said because that is not disputed... and it matches Hussein's Marxist philosophy..

The question is, who is the "somone" going to be who will have to give up something.

And I know damn well for sure that it won't be Lady Michelle or The Messiah Hussein.
