Maynard’s Flashback: I reviewed this film in an earlier post.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 22% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-three percent (43%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).
Forty-two percent (42%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 72% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, 17% Strongly Approve and 45% Strongly Disapprove.
Fifty-seven percent (57%) believe that passage of the proposed health care legislation will hurt the economy. Just 25% believe it will help.

So to speak. Here’s the Best Director Oscar winner in a rather unfortunate music video from about 1988, directed by James Cameron to whom Bigelow was married from 1989-1991. The good news is in this Western-type thingy, Bigelow doesn’t play a floozy, she plays a tough cowboy posse leader (should we expect anything less?). Save yourself some anguish, jump to about 2:50 in and look for the posse leader wearing a poncho and chewing on a cigar. It just goes to show you, you can do a really bad music video, marry the director, have the marriage not be not good either, and still become an Oscar-winning director 22 years later. What? Don’t say I never gave you anything
Okay, okay, for those who want more of a grown up ‘more,’ here’s about 2 minutes of Bigelow on Charlie Rose talking about directing.
This would be amusing if not so pathetic. What we have here is pretty obvious: an American woman Islamist waging Jihad along with her other depraved brethren, but you’d never know it from the L.A. Times coverage. No where is it noted the freak is an Islamist, but they do try to guess at what has influenced her. She’s even pictured in a burqa, but all of that is secondary to the real issues, you see, that she’s an American and uses the internet!
‘JihadJane’ indictment alleges threat from within U.S.
Colleen R. LaRose, who dubbed herself “JihadJane,” was so intent on waging jihad, authorities said, that she traveled to Sweden to kill an artist in a way that would frighten “the whole Kufar [nonbeliever] world.”
With blond hair and green eyes, the 46-year-old woman bragged that she could go anywhere undetected, boasting in one e-mail that it was “an honour & great pleasure to die or kill for” jihad, or holy war, the indictment said.
“She appeared to be one of those people who spend a lot of time online and go to all these radical websites and chat rooms,” said one law enforcement source, who, like others interviewed, requested anonymity when discussing the case.
“If there was some moment in her life that changed her, I don’t know,” another law enforcement source said.
Quite a few people, including myself on today’s Tammy Radio, cautioned everyone about the nature of a guy like Massa, and how, even though he seems to be going after the Obama Gang, he’s not exactly the sort of guy you want to hang on to. Glenn Beck found that out tonight.
My general sense was, a guy like this doesn’t resign over one allegation made during a wedding when everyone had a little to drink. You do resign, however, when an ethics investigation might expose even more. Was he targeted by the Obama Mob because he voted against DeathCare? Possibly. Surprising? Not quite. Did Beck expect some sort of corruption expose with Massa? But really, do we need one considering the phenomenal damage Urkel and Pals have already inflicted? Look, one of the reasons there are Tea Party Patriots is because Washington is filled with creepy scum like Massa, on both sides of the aisle. This entire disgusting affair should remind us the old maxim, “An enemy of my enemy is my friend” isn’t always the case.
Just seven minutes into Glenn Beck’s hour-long interview of Eric Massa on Tuesday evening, things had already gone very wrong.
Conservatives had hopes that the now-former Democratic congressman from Upstate New York, who resigned abruptly under an ethics cloud, would deliver the goods about corruption and strong-arm tactics in the Obama White House and Congress. But instead, Massa served up an icky new confession.
“Now they’re saying I groped a male staffer,” he volunteered. “Yeah, I did. Not only did I grope him, I tickled him until he couldn’t breathe and then four guys jumped on top of me. It was my 50th birthday.”
Beck looked aghast. “Was your wife at that one?” the Fox News host asked.
“No, this was in a townhouse, we all lived together, all the bachelors and me,” Massa explained. “My chief of staff had a conniption and said, ‘You can’t live there, that’s not congressional.’ ” Beck tried to move the conversation in a different direction, but his guest resisted. “Let me show you something,” Massa proposed, proffering a book with photos of bawdy Navy rituals from the days when he was a sailor.
“You’re going to show me tickle fights?” Beck inquired.
“I’m going to show you a lot more than tickle fights,” Massa promised. Beck put on his reading glasses, then judged that the images should not be shown on television. “It looks like an orgy in ‘Caligula,’ ” Massa asserted.
Michael Moore thinks he’s just the person to whip Obama and the Democrats into fighting shape if given the job of White House chief of staff. He’d have the President up everyday at 5 a.m.. They’d both do 100 jumping jacks and get into the right frame of mind for the fight. (Ahh, how to avoid taking cheap shots?)
Michael Moore is pledging to whip Obama and Democrats in Congress into shape – liberal shape – if he is named the next White House chief of staff. And Moore vows to sleep in the White House basement and work for $1 per year if the president hires him.
“Now, don’t get too giddy with excitement over my offer, because you and I are going to be up at 5 in the morning, 7 days a week and I am going to get you pumped up for battle every single day,” Moore writes in a letter posted on his Web site that he said was sent to Obama. “Each morning you and I will do 100 jumping jacks and you will repeat after me: “THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ELECTED ME, NOT THE REPUBLICANS, TO RUN THE COUNTRY! I AM IN CHARGE! I WILL ORDER ALL OBSTRUCTIONISTS OUTTA MY WAY! IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON’T LIKE WHAT I’M DOING THEY CAN THROW MY ASS OUT IN 2012. IN THE MEANTIME, I CALL THE SHOTS ON THEIR BEHALF! NOW, CONGRESS, DROP AND GIVE ME 50!!”
Liberals are already hopping mad at the lack of progress on the liberal agenda. By now the masses should be happily waiting in long lines at a dwindling number of clinics, grateful for single payer health care. After all, we own the government and we know what’s best. Holy Lenin! You’d think Obama would know how to put together a proper politburo.
As for Michael Moore’s personal delusions, we all know he’d be more intimidating naked in the Congressional showers, but in fact would spend all his time in the White House kitchen. (I couldn’t resist.)
I’m pleased to announce the Beta launch of the Tammy Army Members (TAM) Book Club. This is exclusive media for TAMs wherever you may be Please visit the Members page for more details and your first project, an article about the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, whom launched the beginning of the “Progressive” assault on America.
The TAM Book Club is open for all TAMs and you don’t need to participate in the chats or discussions if you would prefer not to, you can just enjoy the articles or books as they get recommended. For this week’s selection, you can read the article online, or print it out and read it at your leisure. I’ll be choosing articles and books that I think will help us with all the work we’ve got coming up for the next few years. This article will help do just that with an exploration of Theodore Roosevelt and his introduction of ‘progressive’ (leftist) policies to America. A man, according to the author, who was “at war with the constitution,” a man very different from the legend that has been propagated for the past 100 years.
If you are not yet a TAM, now is the time to join! You will receive immediate access to this media, Tammy Radio podcasts, show archives, netcasts and other exclusive media.
Pakistani government official told ABC News that the Taliban leader arrested in Pakistan is not Adam Gadahn.
According to ABC News, the arrested man is possibly Abu Yahya Mujahdeen al-Adam, another American member of al Qaeda, but the Pakistanis have not made a positive identification.
A senior Pakistani government official told CNN that Gadahn was arrested Sunday in Karachi, but a U.S. intelligence official said there appears to be no validity to reports of Gadahn’s arrest. Other U.S. officials also said they have no indication that Gadahn has been captured.
—
The reported arrest of Adam Gadahn, U.S. born al Qaeda spokesman, has not been confirmed by U.S. officials as yet.
Reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan – Security forces in the southern port city of Karachi have arrested Adam Gadahn, a Southern California native who became a top propagandist for Al Qaeda and is wanted by the U.S. on treason charges, Pakistani intelligence sources in Karachi said Sunday.
The capture of Gadahn becomes the starkest signal yet that Pakistan has decided to ratchet up its cooperation with the U.S. in hunting down Islamic militants. In the last two months, Pakistani security forces have seized several top Afghan Taliban commanders, including the insurgency’s second in command, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.
Gadahn, whose most recent video, posted Sunday, praised the U.S. Army major charged with killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, was arrested in a pickup truck with a driver Saturday night, the sources said. The sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on such issues.
Pakistani police and intelligence agents said they collaborated on the arrest after receiving information about Gadahn’s whereabouts, but the sources would not say what the source of the information was.
The CIA had no immediate comment on the reports from Pakistan.
If you throw out your leftover fish in the U.K., the chips will know it. The latest from the land of CCT, surveillance drones, ID cards and the world’s largest DNA database — microchips in your trash can to keep track of how much you throw away.
It’s the new front in the nanny state: Microchips placed in garbage bins to monitor how much people throw away.
A pro-privacy group [Big Brother Watch] warns in a new report that more than 2.6 million of the chips have been surreptitiously installed in what is seen as a first step toward charging those who toss too much. Proponents say it’s a bid to push recycling. Opponents say it stinks.
A government official says the chips will be useful to reward people who reduce household trash. The program, according to the government, is intended to encourage recycling. Many people expect they will be fined for throwing away more than some bureaucratic allotment of trash.
The chips haven’t been activated yet. There’s a concern the program won’t be popular. Maybe because not everyone has gone balmy in the crumpet over there. When this kind of monitoring was tried in Ireland, people started to burn their garbage instead of throw it away. Only their garbage?
“It’s voluntary, not compulsory,” he said. “A compulsory plan would not work. We’ve managed to persuade the people of Bristol to participate in the recycling program. We want to encourage the people who aren’t using it to join in as well.”
The government’s ambitious information-gathering plans go still further. Security officials working on counterterrorism plans have lobbied for greater powers to track every e-mail, text, and phone call made in the U.K. The country already maintains an extensive DNA database that is, per capita, the largest in the world.
Come on Brits, how about getting a chip on your shoulder?
Do you have a famous relative? I have a famous relative. You’re likely to be regarded as a failure when contrasted against your famous relative. But it helps if you choose a different career path. Personally, I adjusted to life’s tensions by living in Mom’s basement and sleeping all day, arising only in darkness to post on the Internet and write crackpot letters to the editors of various journals.
Did you know that Darth Vader had a brother, Chad Vader? In contrast to his famous brother, Chad struggles to make a living as the manager of a supermarket in Wisconsin. His story is documented in this series of YouTube episodes. Note that, for some odd reason, these are listed in reverse chronological order, so you must start at the bottom of the list. Here is your link to the first episode. You’re welcome.

This Wall Street Journal editorial hits the right note for me. It clarifies, in a low-key way, how Obama’s plan to ram health care through Congress stands in complete contradiction to the tradition and history American democracy, not to mention in contradiction to his campaign promises.
I’m feeling overwhelmed these days. I watch [...]
I will expand on this during Tammy Radio, but here’s the bottom line: It’s a documentary about Alaska. Not about her.
Not that anyone in Hollywood would have any reason whatsoever to want to start a rumor which would reflect badly on Governor Palin. Nope, they’re all sweetness and light, and would never, ever consider [...]
