Hillary Clinton Fuming Over 'Carlos Danger' Comparisons

The talk has been that Huma's like a second daughter to Hillary, but if that scuzzy bitch and her skeevy husband's troubles were to disrupt Madame Secretary's 2016 presidential plans, you'd see Democrat Party crime bosses coming down on the Weiners faster than a pack of Tiparillos on Monica Lewinsky.

At the Post, "Bill and Hillary Clinton are 'livid' at comparisons to Weiner’s sexcapades and Huma’s forgiveness." (Via Memeorandum.)

More at Althouse, "'The Clintons are upset with the comparisons that the Weiners seem to be encouraging...'"

Britain's Co-operative Group Attacks 'Harmful' Lads' Mags

They're under a lot of pressure, no doubt.

At London's Daily Mail, "The Co-op declares war on 'harmful' lads' mags: Supermarket insist on 'modesty covers' for its shelves."

The magazines are popular. But all the more reason to reject the left's disgusting program of intolerance.

Christina Ricci Glowing, Radiant at 'Smurf 2' Screening

My memory of Christina Ricci is more along the "Sleepy Hollow" side of things. She's a kind of horror culture lady to me, but she looks healthy and wise in these photos from the "Smurf 2" premiere, which I noticed earlier when I posted on Britney Spears.

See, "She's glowing! Christina Ricci's radiant in minimal make-up as she attends screening... but falls flat in the wardrobe department with her odd-fitting frock."

The frock's fine. She looks good all around.

Just for a refresher, I checked her filmography on Wikipedia. She's a big star, a busy star with a long list of credits.

Good for her.

'Turn Coat Mofo'

Never heard of this Goldie Taylor lady, but she sure does have the leftist plantation thing down cold.

At NewsBusters, "MSNBC's Goldie Taylor: CNN's Don Lemon a 'Turn Coat Mofo' for Agreeing With O'Reilly on Race."

And by the way, I think Lemon does a great job at the original commentary, "CNN's Don Lemon Backs Up Bill O'Reilly: 'He Doesn't Go Far Enough' In Criticizing Black Culture."

Obama Frays the U.S. Social Fabric

The New York Times messed up its headline.

It's Obama who's fraying the social fabric. The most divisive president in American history, a class warrior who has set Americans against each.

But FWIW at the Times, "Obama Says Income Gap Is Fraying U.S. Social Fabric":

GALESBURG, Ill. — In a week when he tried to focus attention on the struggles of the middle class, President Obama said in an interview that he was worried that years of widening income inequality and the lingering effects of the financial crisis had frayed the country’s social fabric and undermined Americans’ belief in opportunity.

Upward mobility, Mr. Obama said in a 40-minute interview with The New York Times, “was part and parcel of who we were as Americans.”

“And that’s what’s been eroding over the last 20, 30 years, well before the financial crisis,” he added. “If we don’t do anything, then growth will be slower than it should

. Unemployment will not go down as fast as it should. Income inequality will continue to rise,” he said. “That’s not a future that we should accept.”

Only a fool (or an idiot leftist) would take serious anything this man has to say. He's had almost five years to try to reduce inequality, and he's not done jack but push for failed big government boondoggles and idiotic "green" energy scams. There's more at that top link, and the full interview is at Mememorandum.

Tim Hudson Broken Ankle

I saw a picture of Hudson sprawled out in pain while reading the L.A. Times the other day. But I've got the Braves and St. Louis on right now, on ESPN, and they showed the replay.

Teacher Peg Brunda Slams Anthony #Weiner for 'Skeevy' Behavior

Man, this is classic.

The Weiner scum can't run away fast enough.

At the New York Post, "Teacher lectures Weiner over bad behavior":

Brunda later told The Post she had refused to shake lecherous Weiner’s hand because his behavior “skeeves me.”

Yeah, disgusting Democrats are "skeevy" like that.

'This Week with George Stephanopoulos' — George Will on Fire!

NewsBusters has it, "George Will Schools Katrina Vanden Heuvel and Steve Rattner on Detroit's Collapse."

The whole clip is good, but the discussion of Detroit is at the last couple of minutes. You'll LOL at Katrina Vanden Hueval's shock that George Will would pinpoint decrepit, criminal, illiterate black culture as the source of Detroit's problems.

I find that really insulting to the people of Detroit. I think there is a serious discussion about the future of cities in a time of deindustrialization. But in many ways, Detroit has been a victim of market forces, and I think that what Steve said is so critical, that retirees and workers should not bear this. And this story should not be hijacked as one of about greedy, fiscal, public unions.

Hilarious!

'I’m not ashamed to be an American no matter how much Obama and the Left want to denigrate the brand...'

Count me in as a "rah rah" American as well.

From Darleen Click, at Protein Wisdom, "'I really believe that the way America will look best, the way we can really do best, is to not be Americans so vigilantly and so vehemently'":

I’m bone weary of the “We are above such petty things as national identity” faux-sophistication. I don’t know what Shulan finds all that complicated about a group of Islamists hijacking planes and trying to kill as many infidel Americans as possible.

He probably has the same nuanced and complexity-is-what-is-meaningful view of Nidal Hasan, regardless of Hasan’s professed motivation.

I’m not ashamed to be an American no matter how much Obama and the Left want to denigrate the brand.

Boston's Big Papi Destroys Dugout Phone After Strikeout, Ejected

From Mark Townsend, at Yahoo Sports, "Gone batty: David Ortiz ejected after arguing balls and strikes, destroys bullpen phone."

Ortiz's violent meltdown didn't really fall under the entertainment category. It was actually very dangerous and a little scary as shrapnel from the bat and phone flew all over the dugout. In fact, some of the shrapnel nearly took a chunk out of teammate Dustin Pedroia.

Chevrolet Impala Named Top Sedan by Consumer Reports

Maybe Chevy's commercials are winning some award as wells. I loved this one when I first saw it.

And see the Los Angeles Times, "Impala's leap points to U.S. car rebound":

Once a muscle-car icon and a symbol of U.S. automotive dominance, the Chevrolet Impala has more recently seen its image suffer. Bloated and generic, the critics said. More suited for the rental car fleets that account for most of its sales.

Consumer Reports three years ago panned its sloppy handling and second-rate fit and finish.

So it marked a stunning turnaround Thursday when the Impala secured the influential magazine's top overall rating among sedans — a distinction held by Japanese and European models for at least two decades. Posting the third-highest score ever, the Impala ranked behind only such distinguished company as the Tesla Model S and BMW 135i.

The critical acclaim is emblematic of a resurgence by U.S. automakers in sales, profits and consumer perceptions of quality and imaginative design. General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. each posted second-quarter profits of $1.2 billion this week, numbers not seen since before the Great Recession and GM's bankruptcy and bailout.

Recently redesigned models such as Ford's Fusion sedan and Chrysler's Ram pickup truck are proving a hit with critics and consumers, said Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports.

"There are no more excuses," he said. "They can make world-class cars."

Lake County Drug Traffickers Kept Sexually Abused 15-Year-Old Girl, Held Hostage in Metal Box

I'm inured to this evil by now. It's so routine.

But this is what collectivist left-wing culture has done to society. And depraved leftism will continue to work its monstrous will until people wake the fuck up, stop dicking around, and say enough.

At the Los Angeles Times, "Lake County pot farm raid reveals horrifying tale of teen's captivity":

LAKEPORT, Calif. — When authorities raided the marijuana growing operation, they found greenhouses filled with plants over 6 feet tall, neatly lined with individual irrigation systems. But the rest of the property, one federal agent recalled, looked like a horror scene.

They found dilapidated trailers where farmers appeared to live, caches of weapons and a bloody towel.

"To me, it smacked of a scene from 'Deliverance,'" said David Prince, assistant special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Northern California. "If I was a plant, that's where I'd want to live. If I was a human, that's not where I'd want to live."

It was here, in a remote area east of Clear Lake in Northern California, that authorities allege a kidnapped teenage girl from Los Angeles County was sexually abused and occasionally held captive in a metal box. The box — about 4-by-2-by-2 feet — sat outside one of the trailers, with holes drilled through the lid and a blanket inside.

The box "had been altered to imprison a human," a federal criminal complaint read.

In charges unsealed in San Francisco, federal officials allege that two men had abused the girl and forced her to help with their marijuana production. The girl eventually called authorities from a West Sacramento hotel, where she was rescued, officials said.

The suspects — Ryan Alan Balletto, 30, and Patrick Steven Pearmain, 25 — face numerous felony charges. The Los Angeles Police Department arrested a third man, Eric Edgar, on suspicion of sexual assault.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had been investigating the 680-acre property owned by Balletto since December 2011, court documents showed.

The girl was reported missing April 2 from a San Fernando Valley home, according to the LAPD. Cmdr. Andy Smith said detectives believe she was living on the streets of Hollywood when she came in contact with Balletto.

Body of Bride-to-Be Found Near Horrific Boating Accident

— The Telegraph (@Telegraph) July 28, 2013

Here's the piece, "Confidence in British monarchy at all-time high, poll shows."

And no surprise, but this riles some monarchy-haters, "Republicanism has collapsed in Britain - and the anti-monarchists have only themselves to blame."

I'm no British expert, but Lord know the crown has no power. Gawd these people are dolts.

Sheesh.
