New reviews from the legendary Ron Jeremy and Steve Persall:

“If Shelby McIntyre hadn’t made this movie, Hollywood could never dream up a character lke Joe Redner, a saintly sinner railing against political and religious hypocrisy. Armed with nothing but the truth, Strip Club King is like Mr. Smith going to Washington for lap dances“.– Steve Persall, St. Pete Times

“It has been my pleasure sharing the stage with Joe Redner many times at the Night Moves Awards Show. He is a gentleman , entrepreneur, and freedom fighter. He singlehandedly turned an eye-sore into an attractive gentleman’s club, even raising the real estate value of the surrounding neighborhood. Joe is a classy guy and this documentary chronicles him beautifully”.– Ron Jeremy

Pretty awesome, not even there a week and already on the ball!!!  Frankly I am amazed he is acting so quickly.  I guess the last 8 years have given me a bad case of cynicism.  I may recover if this keeps up.

 

Sections of Tennessee’s Emory River Contaminated by Billion-Gallon Toxic Sludge Spill!

A coal ash waste dumping pond in Tennessee ruptured this past December, unleashing toxic substances known to cause cancer, birth defects and other health problems in animals and humans.

Despite this horrendous accident and the ecological threat posed by coal ash waste, the EPA is not doing anything to regulate it! Take action >>

As a result of the spill, 1 billion gallons of sludge containing the heavy metals arsenic, lead, mercury and selenium were leaked into the Emory River. What’s more, there are more than 1,300 dump sites similar to the one that failed in Tennessee, putting innumerable areas in danger!

It is the EPA’s job to regulate chemicals and protect human health by safeguarding the natural environment. Urge the EPA to regulate coal ash waste that threatens water supplies and human health >>

Coal ash waste isn’t just detrimental to people. It is also responsible for diminishing populations of birds and frogs near dumping areas. The remaining animals are at risk of developmental problems, like tadpoles without teeth and fish with deformed spines.

Thank you for speaking up on behalf of ecosystems that lay in the shadow of unregulated coal plants!

 

Obama’s Changes in the first days

Obama’s first days:

Two years after launching the most technologically savvy presidential campaign in history, Obama officials ran smack into the constraints of the federal bureaucracy yesterday, encountering a jumble of disconnected phone lines, old computer software, and security regulations forbidding outside e-mail accounts.

What does that mean in 21st-century terms? No Facebook to communicate with supporters. No outside e-mail log-ins. No instant messaging. Hard adjustments for a staff that helped sweep Obama to power through, among other things, relentless online social networking.

“It is kind of like going from an Xbox to an Atari,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said of his new digs.

…team members, accustomed to working on Macintoshes, found computers outfitted with six-year-old versions of Microsoft software.

But….All is not lost and the change begins Now!

WASHINGTON – In a first-day flurry of activity, President Barack Obama on Wednesday set up shop in the Oval Office, summoned advisers to begin dealing with war and recession and ordered new lobbying rules for “a clean break from business as usual.”

He also froze salaries for top White House staff members, placed phone calls to Mideast leaders and had aides circulate a draft executive order that would close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay within a year…

…Unveiling ethics rules that he portrayed as the fulfillment of a major campaign promise, Obama said that “the way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable.” The rules are needed, he added, “to help restore faith in government, without which we cannot deliver the changes that we were sent here to make.”

The pay freeze affects the roughly 100 White House employees who make more than $100,000 a year. “Families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington,” Obama said…

…In an attempt to deliver on pledges of a transparent government, Obama said he would change the way the federal government interprets the Freedom of Information Act. He said he was directing agencies that vet requests for information to err on the side of making information public — not to look for reasons to legally withhold it — an alteration to the traditional standard of evaluation.

Just because a government agency has the legal power to keep information private does not mean that it should, Obama said.

The Despicable Executives of the Bailout – er… “Rescue”

Just days after the “rescue”  AIG is partying!

White House press secretary Dana Perino had harsh words for the insurance giant after it was revealed this week that AIG held a $440,000 retreat for employees at the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, Calif., shortly after it was propped up by taxpayer dollars last month.

AIG sent its executives to the coastal St. Regis resort south of Los Angeles even as the company tapped into an $85 billion loan from the government that it needed to stave off bankruptcy. The resort tab included $23,380 worth of spa treatments for AIG employees, according to invoices the resort turned over to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Nice!!!  But, now that is out and all the executives are relaxed, check out the new meeting coming up!

AIG Plans Meeting at California Ritz-Carlton Resort Next Week
By Erik Holm

Oct. 8 (Bloomberg) — American International Group Inc., the insurer facing criticism for hosting a $440,000 event at a California resort less than a week after a federal takeover, plans another gathering for its brokers at a Ritz-Carlton hotel next week.

The event, in Half Moon Bay in northern California, is designed to “motivate and educate” about 150 independent agents that sell AIG coverage to high-end clients, spokesman Nicholas Ashooh said. “These sorts of sales meetings are an essential function,” he said. “We have them around the world all the time.”

About 50 AIG employees will also attend the meeting. Ashooh said he didn’t know the cost of the event or whether the agents AIG is hosting would stay overnight.

So, how are you feeling about the “rescue” now?   I wasn’t very happy about it before, now I am furious!

Call your representatives and let them know if this kind of thing ticks you off too!

 

Chilling? You Betcha!

By Dana Milbank CLEARWATER, Fla. — “Okay, so Florida, you know that you’re going to have to hang onto your hats,” Sarah Palin told a rally of a few thousand here this morning, “because from now until Election Day it may get kind of rough.”

You betcha. And the person dishing out the roughest stuff at the moment is Sarah Palin.

“I was reading my copy of the New York Times the other day,” she said.

“Booooo!” replied the crowd.

“I knew you guys would react that way, okay,” she continued. “So I was reading the New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago.”

It was time to revive the allegation, made over the weekend, that Obama “pals around” with terrorists, in this case Bill Ayers, late of the Weather Underground. Many independent observers say Palin’s allegations are a stretch; Obama served on a Chicago charitable board with Ayers, now an education professor, and has condemned his past activities.

“Now it turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers,” Palin said.

“Boooo!” said the crowd.

“And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, ‘launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,'” she continued.

“Boooo!” the crowd repeated.

“Kill him!” proposed one man in the audience.

Palin went on to say that “Obama held one of the first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers’s living room, and they’ve worked together on various projects in Chicago.” Here, Palin began to connect the dots. “These are the same guys who think that patriotism is paying higher taxes — remember that’s what Joe Biden had said. “And” — she paused and sighed — “I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America, as the greatest force for good in the world. I’m afraid this is someone who sees America as ‘imperfect enough’ to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country.”

What’s chilling is this republican campaign stirs up hate and racism and incites violence, nay, murder: and then does not condemn the behavior of their constituents.

I am embarrassed and frightened for Florida, for the republicans and for America.  I can see why the world thinks badly of us at this point.

Go to the polls and vote for America, Vote Obama.

 

Palin was against Darfur before she was for it.

During the Palin-Biden Debate  Palin said she helped Darfur while she was Governor, but Alaskans beg to differ with her.  Check out this story at the Huffington Post.

Sarah Palin was called on to divest State Funds from Sudan in 2006 by Congress. She did nothing.

Sarah Palin was aware of the press coverage and postcard campaign in 2007. She did nothing.

Sarah Palin knew when the Save Darfur Coalition met with her staff in 2007. She did nothing.

Sarah Palin found out when House Bill 287 was filed in 2008. She did nothing. She changed her position in 2008, a year and a half after first being asked.

So, Governor Sarah Palin, in fact, took no leadership role to fight for Darfur divestment. She dismissed pleas for help.  (Until it was convenient for her politically)

And Now, with that all important spin machine, and she is potential VP looks like she was for it all along………

Lordy, Liar Liar, pants on fire!!  Do they ever stop?

 

“Yes, I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime.” – Palin

The pastor who clashed with Palin Baptist minister Howard Bess, who wrote a book Palin wanted banned and who fought her on abortion and gay rights, says the country should fear her election.

Bess is unnerved by the prospect of Palin — a woman whose mind is given to dogmatic certitude — standing one step away from the Oval Office. “It’s truly frightening that someone like Sarah has risen to the national level,” Bess said. “Like all religious fundamentalists — Christian, Jewish, Muslim — she is a dualist. They view life as an ongoing struggle to the finish between good and evil. Their mind-set is that you do not do business with evil — you destroy it. Talking with the enemy is not part of their plan. That puts someone like Obama on the side of evil.

Another valley activist, Philip Munger, says that Palin also helped push the evangelical drive to take over the Mat-Su Borough school board. “She wanted to get people who believed in creationism on the board,” said Munger, a music composer and teacher. “I bumped into her once after my band played at a graduation ceremony at the Assembly of God. I said, ‘Sarah, how can you believe in creationism — your father’s a science teacher.’ And she said, ‘We don’t have to agree on everything.’

“I pushed her on the earth’s creation, whether it was really less than 7,000 years old and whether dinosaurs and humans walked the earth at the same time. And she said yes, she’d seen images somewhere of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them.”

Munger also asked Palin if she truly believed in the End of Days, the doomsday scenario when the Messiah will return. “She looked in my eyes and said, ‘Yes, I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime.'”

The concept that a heart-beat away from the presidency could be this person who believes that man walked with the dinosaurs is appalling.  Will she hurry the Rapture of the Christians with an Apocalypse?  Can you see the hand poised…..to strike nuclear Armageddon?

 

Proof Positive, Media Mouthpieces for Republicans

Can anyone with a straight face now say that the media is “liberal”. Can anyone say media is not driven by the republicans?

Scarborough just made the most outrageous statement ever made on national TV, in effect, saying they will only talk about what republicans wish to talk about. Scarborough…republican who once ran on that ticket in Florida.

There never was any doubt in my mind, but now its been said by….wait for it…….the republicans.

What a tragedy for the American people.

The people we entrust with telling us the “facts” really no longer care and will tell us what they want to tell us.

September 10 edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe Scarborough: Media will talk about “[w]hatever the McCain campaign wants us to talk about, because the McCain campaign is assertive”

Summary: After likening cable TV to “a 500-pound guy looking for a 100-pound burro to get on” and then “rides it until it dies,” Chris Matthews said to Joe Scarborough, “I want to ask you, what will we talk about two days from now?” Scarborough replied: “Whatever the McCain campaign wants us to talk about, because the McCain campaign is assertive.”
