The TMR Challenge: TMR Vs. Instapundit On The N$A

Here's something else Instapundit wasn't telling you, during the last election, while he was all Rah-Rah for Romney:

[Discredited vitamin supplements are] the business Honest Abe - I mean, Mitt Romney - made his $250 million dollar fortune in,...but it gets better. According to the original link PW sent me on [Mitt Romney's] Nutraceutical, it's 'beginnings date to 1993, when Bain Capital, Inc.--a Boston-based private equity company--paired with senior management to organize Nutraceutical and consolidate what its leaders thought was a very divided nutritional supplements industry.'" 

- TMR, "You're So Bain, Part II (The Vetting Of Mitt Romney,...)" - June 10, 2012

How do we square Glenn Reynolds' claim, today, that Mitt Romney's "quite possibly the best human being to run for the White House in quite a few election cycles," with the fact Romney's industry - supplements and vitamins - just took a huge hit ("Enough is enough") for perpetrating a massive decades-long fraud on, not only the American people, but the entire Western world?

Some would say there's something very wrong with Glenn Reynolds (I didn't make this artwork). Here he is, backing Mia Love, who shares Romney's "faith" that started the bogus supplement industry - you know, the other massive, decades-long, easily-debunked racist con job Reynolds recently backed by liberally throwing "bigot" around.

As Reynolds' popularity proves, being involved in con jobs are, apparently, what can make you "the best" online.

But, since I know (because I'm black) it's not enough for me to merely say and prove Glenn Reynolds is DEVO's "Mongoloid,"  I'm willing to back it up: 

 Since Reynolds says he's "not so sure" the judge’s decision striking the NSA Program will not stand - and since I am sure Instapundit speaks without a firm grasp of reality - I'm willing to bet anyone a dollar ($1.00) that Glenn Reynolds will be found wrong again.

Yes, Glenn Reynolds, you can bet, too.

It's A Gentlemen's Bet, to make a point - and since TMR's Right-Wing Racial Reality Check™ isn't winning me any friends - it'll raise some money so my non-finishing-college-because-I-couldn't-afford-it ass can eat on Christmas, too!

So, if you think The Blogfather has a track record worthy of your participation and readership, take The TMR Challenge and possibly render me even further bankrupt - one buck at a time.

Like Glenn Reynolds is part of the problem.

It's Sunday - Go To Church - Mull It Over: Thank You God

My "compassionate conservatives" are showing the same glowing ethical insight that made "no-fault" divorce the law of the land:

They've rarely seen a better reason to relentlessly criticize - as they have - than someone actually caring about watching the deliberate poisoning of our kids lives.

It did occur to me - this is how they handle child abuse here - especially by cultish types. Stopping it, by actually taking on right and wrong? No way. There's no need to do anything, they say, the truth of everyone's comfort comes first: 

By you finding your truth and your comfort. 

Forget Syria. Get a new car, or a boy toy, to daydream about. We don't have to do anything for our kids - they're remarkably resilient - and this is NewAge 101:

Now's the time to "Move On",...

Watching The Turntable Spin For Too Long (Is Real Bad)

They say your style of life's a drag 

And that you must go other places 

But just don't you feel too bad 

When you get fooled by smilin' faces but 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing 

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama 

'Cause I'll be standin' on the side 

When you check it out,...

Pack for a long trip. 

Folks, were you scurred of Mitt Romney? How about Sarah Palin? Well there's another scary monster laboring under logic well below even their Down Syndrome love child:

"Tony Blair says murder of Lee Rigby PROVES 'there is a problem within Islam'"

Yessireebob, here we go again! 

What Lee Rigby's murder PROVES is the "educated" West still can't take a fair look at something and - from that one look alone - know when it's definitely wrong and should be stopped. 

We're told we're too "unsophisticated" for that, got to get a bit more history and cult-cha. 

We've not enough century's old circular thinking to cause further movement.

 So - brilliance - somebody's gotta die.

That's so the bright apes see (cough) "there is a problem". 

I think that's too late.

 I know, like most people, the dead guy isn't even agreeing with me - right now - but probably thinks I'm just another crazy "recording artist" with no intention of ever meeting him (or anyone else) half way.

Not true: 

And I'm doing 360s on everybody, first chance I get, just to make the point,...

 

I Watch Too Much T.V. (I Expect Something Different)

I Have No Idea What Hippies Were Rebelling Against (When They Had Drugs For Great Moments Like This)

Try to imagine her as the "girl of the past" in Stevie Wonder's Too High:

Post-modern overdosing, making the stomach squeal, knowing it has to come out.

Hey, Lawrence Welk started it! Consider it payback - I never got a warning on where that "modern spiritual" was going or coming from - but I do remember the claustrophobia of Lawrence Welk's (and Billy Graham's) era - I was born in 1961 - so it's not that weird for me to see it today as who we are, even though it can be kinda surreal, considering who are are NOW:

                                          Some bad stuff's gotten mixed up with the good.

According to Wikipedia, "despite the emergence of rock and roll, 'Calcutta' reached number 1 on the U.S. pop charts in 1961; it was recorded in only one take. The tune knocked the Shirelles' 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow' out of the #1 position, and it kept the Miracles' 'Shop Around' from becoming the group's first #1 hit, holding their recording at #2."

                    Here comes the groaning, and then the churning, twisting pain from below.

For a number of reasons (One take?) I would've thought they've gotta be high! O.K., maybe not:

Better lay down for a while, fast, before any loss of equilibrium.

Remember screaming, "Mama, there's black people on TV!"? Incredible. 

And no wonder there could ever be a Lawrence/Smoky competition when - if you consider what Welk was selling - The Miracles were practically pushing the same conservative product, just with crazy choreography. 

Too late - running for the toilet - because here it comes!   

Alright, try this riff - and check the Quentin Tarentino impression:

In the first Welk video, at the top, that guy later becomes Stevie Wonder's widowed drug addict, and he's lamenting having married the dead girl he now watches himself singing with in old videos, the bitter result of having naively taken his momma's advice to "shop around".

Pretty good, huh?

Gagging now, tasting it, drinking a little so as not to forget.

Kind of an Amy Winehouse thing, but from the other fruitcake's point of view. Maybe add in a cautionary tale-type message, like if you don't save your money - and you don't die of drugs tomorrow - you won't have enough. Or something.

I don't know. What do you think?

Better wait - the dry heaves haven't ended.

Whatever it is: BAM! That could be a TV show! (I kid.)

Alright, splash the face with water. Wash the mouth. Comb the hair.

Silly mortals. We Americans have come a long way, and - because we're essentially the world's guinea pigs for crawling into the unknown - I've come to the conclusion that we're going to always be waaay ahead of the pack. I know it's dangerous but I've been thinking, and - while being born still isn't the big event that sends chills of joy down my spine - I have to admit, despite my complaints, I'm not bothered by the times I've been living through.

I mean, I got here after garters and before AIDS - lucky,...:

Adjust the tie - wipe the brow again - try to look presentable.

In considering our times, I also have reached the conclusion that we - the Americans - haven't been around long enough to be labeled "evil" yet. Compared to others, we were never a bad people, just a little crazy and impulsive, and to suggest otherwise is a lie. Whoever it is or was saying it, it's a lie:

Walk out, elegantly glide to a back room, and let the head hit the pillow with a "thud".

I, for one, will never be ashamed of who we've been.

It'll be fine later, but for now, just sleep whatever it is off,...

 

Bad News All Around (And It's Just Going To Get Worse)

A member of The World's Dumbest Denomination had a talk with Anderson Cooper about her pastor's brilliant electrified fence idea, and predictably blew it. Also predictable is the welling frustration she exhibits when faced with the illogical implications of her beliefs, which is identical to the behavior two missionaries show in the now-infamous "Mormons vs Epic Black Guy" YouTube video:

Now, call me naive but, what I don't "get" yet is how all this formally-and-supposedly welcome questioning of beliefs has proceeded out there - without one charge of "bigotry" appearing - except when it comes to the man assumed to be the next President of the United States. No - though it was fine for the "Mormons vs Epic Black Guy" death match - when it comes to questioning Mitt Romney and Mormonism, then everything's off-limits and even asking is deemed to be in bad taste, or so I am told.

Actually "so I am told" isn't quite accurate - "it's demanded" would be closer to the mark when describing what I'm seeing. Why, it's even been suggested on the Althouse blog that this conservative cult-hunter is now becoming a liberal, suggesting I could be kicked out of the Right-wing fold if I don't get onboard the Joseph Smith bandwagon in order to beat Obama. Which leads me to wonder:

Could it be that, in 2012, what everybody's really scared to admit is they're rooting for a kook?

I asked the same questions of Obama in 2008, but I'm sure - conservatives being the good guys -  somebody will explain the ethics behind this new reluctance to talk eventually. They have to because, as I've pointed out countless times, Republicans still must vet Romney for when he meets Obama in the general election:

In a close race, with a by-any-means-necessary campaign comfortable with gratuitous rhetorical firebombing and incendiary attacks, it may not be a matter of if Obama attacks Romney's religion, but when.

Of course it is. Come on, we're talking about facing a guy who once released an opponent's divorce records. Do you seriously think Romney can avoid what's coming by indignantly putting his fingers in his ears? That's not even working on me and I'm not running for anything. There ain't shit I don't want to talk about. Where's YOUR bravery? All I see is an empty arrogance. Get it together, y'all,...

You'd better tell 

 Your story fast... 

 And if you lie 

 It will come to pass...

Sorry, Cupcake, But Only Two Candles This Year

Here's a picture of two men - one black, one white; one Republican, one Democrat - who both predicted we'd see a black president in about 40 years. So, to all of you who say you can't believe what you're seeing (and/or were willing to cheat to make happen) TMR has only one message: you lack imagination, and morals, and - whether you acted out of black pride or white guilt - all you've really proven is you're too cynical to truly appreciate King's Dream of one day seeing your fellow Americans as your own.

Contrary to popular belief, this sullied, under-handed, cultish election was not what Martin Luther King, Jr. (or Robert Kennedy) had in mind or wanted.

This was dirty pool.

Happy Martin Luther King Day.

JTP AKA "That Guy" Beats Rick Sanchez - Again

Well, well, well. It seems "that guy," when given a chance to shine, actually does know something and CNN's Rick Sanchez - the real "Misstra Know-It-All" - is an ass. After taking on (and exposing) Obama, and now being challenged by media clowns, it might be time to change his moniker from "Joe The Plumber" to "Joe The Giant Killer." And kudos to Pajamas Media for keeping him out there: this is now an odyssey of the common man, and that's probably one of the best results of Obama's election (as a reaction to Bush) we could get.

Oh, Peggy, Geez, NOW You Tells Us,...

"The Founders, who were awed by the presidency and who made it a point, the early ones, to speak in their inaugural addresses of how unworthy they felt, would be astonished and confounded by the over-awe with which we view presidents now. We treat them as if they are the Grand Imperial Czar of the Peacock Throne, and we their 'umble servants. It's no good, and vaguely un-American. Right now patriotism requires more than the usual candor. It requires speaking truthfully and constructively to a president who is a man, and just a man. We hire them, we fire them, they come back for photo-ops. They're not magic."

Fresh Blood (Smeared Everywhere)

"So, let's review. In 1995, a uniformed Secret Service officer SWORE, on penalty of PERJURY, that he SAW, this, thing, this Maggie Williams, take documents, boxes of them, I believe, from Vince Fosters' office. Maggie Williams testified that this Secret Service agent was a LIAR. Everybody's a liar in Clinton World. All those Arkansas State troopers were liars when they testified that he sent them out to get chicks for him. Paula Jones was lying. Kathleen Willey was lying. Quanita Brodrick was lying when she told the world, on the 60 Minutes program, that BILL CLINTON RAPED her. Monica Lewinski was lying. Her ick stained Blue Dress was lying. ****, even Josh Steiner was lying. Remember Josh? He was some kind of staffer for the Clintons, who was testifying in one of the myriad scandals that seem to follow the Clintons wherever they go. When what he had written in his diary became evidence against the sworn testimony of the Clintons, Josh Steiner simply testified, UNDER OATH, that he had LIED to his DIARY. So HE was a liar. But I digress. I think that Maggie Williams is the PERFECT choice for Hillary. PERFECT. What I DON'T understand, is how this woman, with everything that is KNOWN about her hasn't been shunned by society. And it's not rumour, we KNOW her. She has NO character, is a stranger to the truth, and frankly, really has no redeeming quality about her whatsoever. What kind of a moron would suppot her and her RAPIST husband? The fact that she's neck and neck in this race reflects more on the utter stupidity of the Democrat voters than it does of Mrs. Rapist. P.T. Barnum must be smiling."
