Cheerleading: Everything Feels Great (Until It's Over,..)

Jake Tapper, today:

  “There’s a definition of ‘winning’ being used in DC that recalls that of Charlie Sheen.”

 Rand Paul, yesterday:

  "We’re going to win this, I think.”

Ready! Aim! Fire Everybody Associated With This Crap!

Follow me, sharp shooters:

A few days ago, Glenn Reynolds' message was clear:

"I think the GOP can win even by losing,…"

But today's message is linked to JIM TYNEN:

Why the Republicans Can’t Give Up Now. 

“They would be like Obama and his red line in Syria. They have drawn a red line; to go back is to look feckless and weak. And, worse, ridiculous. Whether the time is right, etc., is irrelevant. Folding would give them no credit; their only recourse is to win. And victory is closer than ever.”

So, are Tynen and I right - winning is still "winning" - and Glenn's experimenting with Charlie Sheen's Tiger Blood? 

Drudge has got Sarah Palin screaming, Bomb's Away!" 

But AP's got Rand Paul admitting to her it's all a delusion.

What to do?

Well, who's right is the wrong question - it's a losing campaign to begin with - so we at least need a lesson for the rest of us.

I'll give it to you.

Get some leaders from this century:

Because, when you're as confused as Glenn and Sarah, bringing down a moose - and bringing down a elephant - are pretty much the same operation,...

 

Charlie Sheen & Sarah Palin Can't Be Defeated

Keep it up, people - it doesn't matter who you are - they're rubber and you're glue:

It was a cold night in Toronto, Canada when reporter Saphia Khambalia prepared for a live shot outside the city’s Massey Hall theater where Charlie Sheen had just wrapped a performance of his “Violent Torpedo Of Truth Tour.” What happened next viewers couldn’t have predicted,...

Unless you understand the LQF,...

I Got An Anti-Feminist Secular Jesus Right Here

Oh - So There Are Obama Cultists? Who Knew?

How about this for a headline, y'all:

Kevin Drum begins to doubt his cult leader

Ha! Now, once again, these fools who claim they're informing you are being exposed for keeping it quiet (They play games with me and cultism - where have they been on cultists over the last two years? Oh, but now that Obama's running again, out comes the only meme that's ever mattered. Coincidence?)

These other bloggers have been lying to you, by distracting you with nonsense, and now - BAM! - the real issues are all coming back into focus.

I swear, I am not going to reach out to the world on this - I'm done with that - the world is going to come to me, like Charlie Sheen:

Whether they like it or not.

And yes, I'm speaking about several major bloggers, who have made it their job to inform us, but don't. Because they don't like me. Or understand me. Or some other childish reason. The point is, many of them know this shit and aren't informing you - they've been lying to you - while another election has been sneaking up on us.

It's time somebody started talking some real shit - and fast.

Or do you want to see this play out, in the exact same way, all over again?

Charlie Sheen Is Two And A Half Men (WINNING)

I love how everyone keeps counting him out and then he keeps reminding them there's a real world - and a real man - who has a real life that refuses to conform to their silly narrative. I've heard drug addicts diss him for doing drugs, without realizing what hypocrites they've made of themselves as they opened their mouths. Forget drugs - this is the man feminism's been trying to kill for 50 years! And he just won't die!

Everyone - especially the type who are prone to keep propping up an Oprah, or a Madonna, or applaud a freak like Arianna Huffington, are determined to count a free man out - because he's free and doesn't need the likes of them. They are the friends who are never there. They are the co-workers determined to trip you up. They are the so-called "family" you can't rely on. They're the friends with money who'll do everything with it but help you out. They are people without honor. Charlie Sheen is a man's reality:

A real man.

And it's nice to see him back in action.

For Most Of Your Lives (You Haven't Had One)

Oh dear, here we go again. Since Glenn Reynolds has suggested that Ann Althouse and New Media Meade deserve some kind of blogging award for merely living in Wisconsin and doing what the media refuse to do (don't get me wrong: I agree they do) can I get a prize or something for digging into another story Reynolds and pretty much everyone else barely even acknowledge?

As I mentioned a week ago - in an effort to underline that too many are ambivalent about truth and, thus, not really interested in what's important - the really bad crowd were going about their dubious business, with nary a word from the chattering classes, because they were focussed on Charlie Sheen. Well, events are taking another turn in the very episode I outlined, and of course - just to rub it in good - there's now another NewAger at the center of things:

Prince Andrew is facing fresh questions over his involvement in the £500,000 cash-for-access scandal surrounding his ex-wife.

Doubts were raised after evidence emerged contradicting his denials that he had ever known a psychic employed by Sarah Ferguson.

Andrew last year vigorously denied all knowledge of his former wife’s plot to take £500,000 from a wealthy businessman in return for arranging a meeting with the duke.

Days later, he also denied that he had ever met or heard of Sarah’s friend Azra Scagliarini, a clairvoyant. Miss Scagliarini was yesterday identified as the ‘go-between’ who set up a meeting between Sarah and a News of the World reporter posing as an Arab businessman.

Now a handwritten letter from the duke to Miss Scagliarini has emerged, in which he thanks her for her ‘help and friendship’.

The thank you note for a Christmas gift is dated January 1999, indicating that he had in fact known the 46-year-old psychic to the stars for more than a decade.

The revelation comes at a time of growing concern over the duke’s judgment and his links to dubious characters, including the American billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who is a convicted paedophile, and tyrannical leaders including Colonel Gaddafi and his son Saif.

The Daily Mail understands that New York-based Miss Scagliarini does not claim to have met Andrew face to face, but is adamant that the pair have had ‘dozens’ of phone conversations since she was hired as one of Sarah’s spiritual advisers in 1998.

Now how many times do I have to say you're looking at the wrong things? When are you going to learn we've got this huge grey area existing in our society - called NewAge - and it's filled with psychics and cults and killers and liars, and only by unraveling who they are, and what they have their hands in, will we ever get a handle on what's going on out there?

Do you seriously think I just pulled this particular scandal out of a hat to make my point- and it just happened to involve a psychic? Or was it because it contained my usual topics (NewAgers, lying, child abuse, fraud) with my usual cast of characters? Come on, with the exception of Charlie Rose, we've been over all these subjects before:

The Royal Family.

From the Queen to Prince Charles to Diana to Fergie - all of them are/were NewAgers with numerous contacts in the occult underworld. Of course, Britain's The News of the World would exploit that knowledge to get at the truth, even if America's so-called smart set refuses to do so.

Celebrity.

Oprah Winfrey is at the center of the NewAge belief system (it is now accepted we bow before her) and she just happens to be friends with almost everyone involved in this scandal, starting with Fergie.

Politics.

Where to start? Bill "a higher state of consciousness" Clinton, Hillary "I talk to psychics" Clinton, George "I lied for Clinton" Stephanopoulos, and their pal, Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted paedophile and major donor to their campaigns.

What holds all these people together? NewAge, and the various subjects it's regularly associated with, and nothing more. But while everyone will hold hearings on Islam, or fight Republicans based on connections to the Christian Right, or investigate child abuse in the Catholic church, or even go see musicals on Broadway about Mormons, this one group (probably with the exception of Scientology) gets off, scott free, with little-to-no examination whatsoever, no matter how idiotic the belief, heinous the behavior, or ugly the crimes they're repeatedly proven to be involved in. I've talked to many people about this and, despite their interest in every other belief system causing trouble out there, when it comes to NewAge they all say "We don't play that game" like exposing NewAgers is a crime itself.

And trust me, I know what they mean:

NewAge is the belief system of the Baby Boomers, so, in a sense, they do consider it a crime to expose it's dark side - a crime against themselves.

Few want to acknowledge it as such, but (along with his own stupidity) NewAgers - including a psychic - brought down John Edwards.

MoveOn.org is an astrology outfit - an astrology outfit backing everything conservatives don't want in this country, starting with the fight against public unions.

Oprah brought us the disaster of Barack Obama - who got the full support of NewAgers - further led by cult leaders and frauds like Arianna Huffington and Deepak Chopra. And, despite all the evidence Americans have absolutely no reason to take Oprah's - or any other NewAger's - word for anything, they repeatedly go to her and them for advice and solace.

Right after the actor and comedian Jim Carrey declared he was a NewAger, he was fingered in the anti-vaccine fraud that took the lives of children world-wide.



NewAgers, like Louise Hay, are major donors, producers, and consumers, of NPR, PBS, and the CPB - and, if you ask me, a major reason for the white, elitist, liberal politics they espouse - and why it's been so easy to bust them (the NewAge conception of "duality" makes believers evil - and stupid). Note to David Brooks - who has espoused NewAge views several times before:

Nothing about NewAge is representative of our "common culture".

As I've said before, whether Charlie Sheen is crazy is a matter of opinion, but - whether the world we live in is - that is beyond dispute.

And the fact the Baby Boom's big brains uniformly refuse to investigate what NewAge is up to, no matter what NewAgers do - while looking strenuously and directly at every other belief system under the sun and how they affect our lives - is all the proof I need this is the truth:

For the last four decades, America has been locked in a madhouse - and it's the NewAge Baby Boomers who have been holding the key.

I Would Say NewAge, But If It's Not - Aciiiiiiiiid!

Larry Elders says "Charlie Sheen, at least, has an excuse. He's on a drug he calls 'Charlie Sheen.' But what powerful hallucinogen inhaled by the left induces the mental fantasy that makes them believe"...?

And then - BAM! - Big Fur Hat comes through with an answer:

American Hypocrisy: Enough To Drive You Nuts

I think the Los Angeles Times' Neal Gabler gets Charlie Sheen a bit:

Bruce Willis once described the basic trajectory of celebrity in America as having four stages: You arrive, you peak, you bomb and you come back. Whether he realized it or not, Willis was also describing the phases that anthropologist Joseph Campbell had discerned for the hero across cultures — save for one thing. Heroes don't bomb. That is a distinctly American interpolation, one designed to ensure that our demigods never confuse themselves with gods. As our stars rose into the heavens, we reserved the right to humble them, to bring them back to Earth. Think of Eddie Murphy or John Travolta or Tom Cruise, all of whom seemed to get too big for their britches and were brought down a peg for it.

So Charlie Sheen's verboten media blitz flaunting a lifestyle that is decidedly not shared by the vast majority of his fans (how many of us have two live-in porn star "goddesses" or can profess to have consumed an amount of cocaine that would have killed a mortal?) explicitly violates the contract, which seems to have been Sheen's point.

He says he isn't off the rails like Mel Gibson or Lindsay Lohan. He insists he is the engineer. He is doing exactly what he wants to do, what his riches and fame allow and entitle him to do. As he puts it, he is embracing his "rock star" life.

The irony is that living large and doing exactly as he pleases has long been a central ingredient in Sheen's appeal. His role on "Two and a Half Men" as a womanizing, footloose bachelor seems lifted out of his real life, which is one of the reasons it is funny. We think we are seeing Sheen spoofing himself. When Sheen reminded us that his life is even more extreme than his character's, the media turned censorious — an example of trying to have your comedy and revile it too. Sheen is absolutely right to call this hypocrisy. He has never pretended to be a Boy Scout. He has always purported to be precisely the opposite.

And now Roseanne Barr, of all people, has stepped forward to add another dose of reality to the proceedings.

The comedienne, who worked with Lorre on "Roseanne" from 1990 to 1992, wrote three blog posts on her website supporting Sheen and insulting Lorre's writing on "Men," which she described as "s--- jokes and adolescent sniggering over breasts and women's body parts lines."

"I never really worked with him, as he was mostly drunk when he was on my show, and too busy making deals with my producers for shows that copied mine...to turn in too many good scripts," Barr wrote of Lorre.

The 58-year-old actress added that Brett Butler, who worked with Lorre on "Grace Under Fire," and Cybil Shepard, who worked with him on "Cybill", also suffered at Lorre's hands and "were often out in the parking lot screaming at Chuck and crying."

That sounds like WINNING! if I've ever heard it,...

Charlie Sheen Runs With A Bad Crowd? (Rubes)

Considering all the BS everybody wants to dump on regular guy Charlie Sheen - and, especially, considering the we-played-for-Gaddafi troupers - here's a few stories everybody should keep in mind the next time one of these celebrities are paraded before us as people we should look up to:

It’s no secret that Bill Clinton has long been friends with convicted sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein has contributed to both Bill and Hillary’s campaigns. But no one knew about the night Bill spent on Epstein’s private Caribbean island with three underage girls until now.

Oh, but this Epstein nonsense gets better:

Last week I wrote about a party thrown by this convicted sleazebag for a group of news anchors including Charlie Rose, George Stephanopoulos, and Katie Couric. The next day I received a message from Katie Couric expressing her regret for attending the party, Stephanopoulos and Rose never responded. So let me ask again: Why are George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Rose socializing with this guy? Don’t ABC and PBS have some kind of ethics clause in their employee contracts?

Nope, not done yet - over to England:

Prince Andrew attended naked pool parties at the home of his billionaire paedophile friend, it was claimed yesterday.

Young women frolicked nude in the swimming pool while the Duke of York visited the Florida mansion of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

And since we have to tie everything - literally everything - into Oprah and her friends (like NewAge "sweat lodge" murderer James Arthur Ray) here comes her gal pal - and children's book author - Sarah Ferguson:

The British Royal Family has added another scandal to its growing list, as news broke this weekend that ex-Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson once accepted £15,000 ($30,000) from a millionaire New Yorker convicted of pedophilia. 

 Ferguson, who held the nickname 'Fergie' from 1984 to 2003, accepted funds from hedge-fund millionaire and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in order to pay debts to her former personal assistant. Ferguson's ex-husband, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, reportedly assisted with the deal.

And to that we can only add one word:

Winning!
