Democrat strategist accuses Herman Cain of being a bigot and racist for trufully saying African Americans are “brainwashed” into voting Democrat

So what else would you expect a Democrat strategist to say about a Republican?

That’s why I didn’t bother to mention the strategist by name like other blogs because it really doesn’t matter. The guy could be named Mickey Mouse and the Democrat stratagem would be exactly the same--call the Republican a racist as many times as possible.

It’s the same old song right out of the Democrat playbook. But, what’s really interesting about this video is what Ari Fleischer says about Herman Cain around the 2:30 mark.

Real Clear Politics

Democratic strategist Cornell Belcher says there is a media "double-standard" over Herman Cain saying blacks have been "brainwashed." Belcher calls Mr. Cain a bigot and a racist and says this incident is a "teachable moment."

I think Ari hit the nail on the head concerning how Cain is resonating with GOP voters. He’s a force to be reckoned with.

Cheryl Ladd of Charlie's Angels cast as Ducky's love interest

The big name stars just keep on coming for the ninth season of NCIS which begins on September 20, 2011. Already loaded down with Lily Tomlin, Bob Newhart, Scott Wolf, and Jamie Lee Curtis; now there is one more. Charlie''s Angels alum Cheryl Ladd will be appearing on this season of NCIS as the love interest for our very own Ducky Mallard.

EW has learned that Ladd - best known as Kris Munroe on the original Angels series - will guest star on a late October episode of NCIS.

NCIS casting news: Cheryl Ladd of Charlie's Angels cast as Ducky's love interest

Trente-cinq ans après le premier lancement de Charlie's Angels à la télévision, les Drôles de dames (c'était le titre français de la série originale) étaient de retour jeudi soir, pour un remake totalement affligeant, qui devrait être le symbole absolu de ce qu'il ne faut surtout pas faire un show télé à gros budget. Décryptage de ce premier épisode de Charlie's Angels.

Video Exclusive: The Dancing Occupy Wall Street Protestors and other Communists

I haven’t written about this silly protest that’s been going on for almost two weeks because I didn’t see the point. The people themselves at the protest don’t know much beyond the class war fare talking points.

But, I gues it beats working at a real job for a living.

So instead of writing a regular post, and since the site is only a few blocks away from my job, I decided to take a video of the wacky protestors with my phone and show you the weirdness with a little verbal commentary from yours truly.




Did you ever hear the story about going to a Wall Street protest that turned into a Santeria ritual dance replete with whistles and African drums?

Beware of a Trojan Horse named Chris Christie

Here we go again!

Every time Republicans try to select a conservative candidate for president the same old argument crops up thanks to the “squishy moderate class” that controls the party.

Chris Christie is one of them. He’s a moderate conservative that does the GOP no favors when possibly matched up against Barack Obama who can easily make the claim, “I’m just as moderate as Christie. He believes in global warming and a pathway to citizenship for illegals too.” And that’s the very reason why Christie would be a horrific choice if he were to get the GOP nod. It would be John McCain 2.0 all over again.

Reagan said it best when he said the GOP has to offer the American people “bold colors” and not pale pastels. Christie despite his tough talk and in-your-face attitude is another Gerald Ford/Nelson Rockefeller Republican that would tinker around the edges of big government-cutting here and there, but expanding in other places using the language of the Left to convince people he’s a new kind of Republican.

When will these Moderates (aka RINOS) ever learn that moderation is no virtue? In fact, it’s a losing proposition.

BREAKING NEWS:VESTA WILLIAMS FOUND DEAD IN L.A HOTEL!.

Vesta Williams Biography

A powerful singer and underrated songwriter, Vesta Williams released a number of quality singles and albums during the late 80s and early 90s, and has been one of the most sought-after session vocalists of the past two decades.

Born in Coshocton, Ohio, Vesta moved to California as a child and performed in a family act with her sisters in the Los Angeles area. After high school she moved back to Ohio and joined the group Wild Honey, formed by Ron Townsend of the 5th Dimension (who was Williams' cousin). Williams' big voice and impressive tone were similar to Chaka Khan, and she was soon developing a solid career as a jingle singer as well as a backing vocalist for singers ranging from Gladys Knight to Sting to Anita Baker. Ironically, by the 1980s she was touring with Khan as a backup singer.

Vesta's increasing notoriety in the music industry led to a meeting with producer David Crawford, who assisted in landing her a contract with A&M Records. Her debut album, Vesta, was produced by Crawford, Gary Taylor and others and included the hit "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," which hit the R&B top ten. Williams assumed a greater role in the creation of her 1988 follow-up, Vesta 4 U, and the results were notable. The excellent disc included two top five hits, "Sweet Sweet Love" and the beautiful ballad "Congratulations," which became a signature song for Vesta and a Quiet Storm staple.

Vesta Williams

Williams continued her ascension in 1991 with the album Special and the hit title track, both of which became her biggest charters. Unfortunately, she stumbled two years later with Everything-N-More, a lesser album that eschewed her adult soul roots for a more contemporary sound. It stiffed on the charts and nearly stopped her solo recording career in its tracks. Fortunately, Vesta continued to be a popular session singer, landing regular spots on albums by such artists as Phil Perry, Howard Hewett and George Duke.

Disappointed with the results of Everything-N-More, Vesta left A&M in search of a new recording contract. It took nearly five years before she released her next album, Relationships, on Lee Ritenour's IE Records. It was a mature album that appealed to adult soul fans but didn't received sufficient airplay to garner any hits.

As the 21st Century came, Vesta continued to work regularly as a session vocalist, particularly on jazz albums, and her song "One More Bridge To Cross" was arguably the highlight of the popular 2005 compilation Love Pages by the Cafe Soul All-Stars. She also occasionally worked in radio and toured in multi-artist smooth jazz shows.

In 2007, Vesta signed with Shanachie Records and released Distant Lover, an album of soul music cover songs.

On September 22, 2011, Vesta died in her hotel room in Los Angeles. It was a tragic and much-too-early death of a talented singer.

Though her time as a major recording artist was relatively brief, Vesta Williams impacted the soul music world for over two decades. Both via her own solo work as well as through her impressive appearances on the albums of other artists, Vesta made a career's worth of notable music and was consistently among the most distinctive singers of her era. She will be missed.

Glenn Beck has a new show targeting the Youth. The Left is nervous

No one has brought to light the communists sympathizers that fill the Obama regime from Van Jones to Anita Dunn who once said, “We control the Press!”.

It was the reason Glenn Beck was targeted by forces that want the truth be kept in the dark. But, nobody stops Beck from shining the light on evil. And teach the Youth what they need to know.

Go get’em Glenn

Politico

Glenn Beck has been a frequent critic of the left’s “indoctrination” of American children, attacking PBS and calling out Elmo from “Sesame Street” for favoring the redistribution of wealth.

When he left Fox News last April, Beck explained it was in part because he wanted “to target the youth.” And, starting on Monday, he will take direct aim with a children’s show on his new GBTV Internet network with the tea party-friendly name “Liberty Treehouse.”

Beck won’t be the host of the hourlong show, grounded in American history and the day’s news, but it will lead into his own daily 5 p.m. show on the subscription-based network. And politics, long considered a taboo in children’s programming, will be a frequent topic, informed — like everything else on GBTV — by Beck’s populist conservative sensibility.

“In the first show, Raj Nair, the host, in a behind-the-headlines segment, is going to talk about straw polls and debates — what they are, where they come from and why they are important,” said Joel Cheatwood, the former Fox News executive who now serves as president of programming at GBTV. “I don’t know any kids show that took that on.”

The show is a measure of how broadly Beck is stretching his brand now that he is no longer working for anyone but himself in the television arena.

They really don't teach history in schools the way they used to. Beck is gonna change that.

Randy Phillips, the Gay soldier was wrong for putting a highly personal family moment on You Tube-Saying he was Gay to his Mom

A 21 year old Gay soldier by the name of Randy Phillips had the nerve to throw his mother under the bus by videotaping his mother’s reaction to his admitting he’s Gay and putting it on You Tube.

What was the purpose of that? And why do people feel it’s appropriate to broadcast a very personal family matter on You Tube? I won’t even put the video up because I feel like I’m intruding on a very heavy family moment. Not everything that goes on within a family has to be broadcast to the world in attempt to get some sort of public validatio0n.

Bad enough his mother is deeply disappointed he’s Gay, and very good reason. But, it’s unseemly he wants others to watch.

Randy, you owe your Mom a series apology for doing that to her. You messed up, buddy!
