The contrived controversy concerning Rush's comments about Sandra Fluke have caused many to exuviate there advertising on his show. As things usually go the unintended consequences have Carbonite roiling troubled waters. The jacquerie are creative as they sell their stock, which plummeted 12% in one day.

So we have jacqueries and j’accuseries roiling the political waters around the planet.

It must be the “J”’s age; and now we’ll all have to face the music.

Considering the way the primaries are going, jacquerie may be the last hope for this Republic.

Just like he worries for them whenever a conservative woman is referred to as an expletive whenever she speaks her mind. BS. What about his own VERY BLATANT reference to Sarah Palin, with the “you can put lipstick on a pig......” followed by his little smirk. BS, I tell you, BS.

Still pissed at Rush for giving them this opening.

Admittedly, I do not listen to every minute of Rush’s shows, but what I heard him say was “what do you call a woman who gets paid to have sex?” ......he didn’t say Sandra Fluke was a slut or a prostitute. He was elaborating on the issue of paying for contraceptives. She was just the only woman’s name mentioned at all. A whole lot of hoopla for nothing. Rush did the right thing to apologize, but Fluke was extremely tacky in not accepting, she is unwilling to give up her 15 minutes.

We had “Occupy” foisted as Jacquerie,
And a campaign of political hackery.
Some say, “What’s the point?”
“It’s Barry they’ll anoint” -
“I’ll just sit here & suck down my daiquiri!”

The jacquerie that dubbed themselves "Occupy" showed that hippies are still revolting after all these years.

Jacquerie.

The peasants have always been revolting and disgusting too but jacquerie sounds like the French version of car jacking.

Barack’s economics are quackery

Rob the movers and shakers
Get votes from the takers
Zero taxes, vote maxes from the jacquerie

To The Tune of “A Wand’ring Minstrel I from the “Mikado”:
c 2005 ML/LTOS

An aging hippie, I
A thing of jeans and sandals
Of incense, musk and candles
And posters from ‘69
I play my 33’s on a vintage turntable
I smoke it when I’m able
I have an accomplished whine—
I have an accomplished whine.

Have you a protest march for me?
I’ll march with you
“Po——wer to the People!”
Give me a sign, and I’ll carry
It high for you!
Po——wer to the People!
I’ll take off all my clothes if it will make a point
I’ll do it for a joint
to share with You-—
Po——wer to the People.

But if Anti War protests are desired
I’ve Anarchistic Slogans cut and dried
I haven’t worked a day since I’ve been fired
And sure could use some money on the side.
I have a bunch of flags ready for burning
And an old effigy of LBJ
I still have leftover Molotov Cocktails
To Prove I’m serious about Peace In Our Day!

And If You call for a local parade
That celebrates gay pride
I’ll dress up like a raging queen
A leather boy with a smile serene
(Although I’m not one inside)
To yell all day in the broiling sun
May not be everyone’s taste
But if you want some caterwauling done
And if you have the prerequisite sum,
I’ll roll in nuclear waste!
Yo Ho! And I’ll even pretend it’s fun!

So jump up on the barricades,
We’ve got a ripe one here
Though his dome is chrome and his hair is grey
Still has his ponytail, in a way.

An Aging Hippie I
A thing of jeans and sandals
Of incense, musk, and candles
And posters from ‘69!

I was thinking yesterday that liberals seem more interested in stopping birth, than in actual healthcare. They are the party of government supplied birth control and abortion.

They aren't the part of free medication for mental disorders, where those afflicted can actually harm others without medication. They aren't the party of free medication for diabetes, even though it causes more complications and costs in health care if gone untreated.

They are the party of stopping conception and if that fails then ending that life either still in the womb or upon birth. They are the party of death.

Abortion support is the glue that holds the party together. It is the one absolute that the party leader must adhere to. Everything else (except perhaps support for unions) is optional.

Good Lord the owner of the Colts needs to take lessons on public speaking! Not only is he clacking while speaking he keeps saying "um". My son said this would be a bad drinking game because you would be on the floor!

Sorry to see Payton let go though.....

So many athletes don’t know when to exit gracefully. Certainly being owed $22 million at that age is a great incentive to be let go. Hope he doesn’t tarnish his image by playing a few bad years for some loser team.

A man arrested after a homemade cannon blasted through his mobile home, killing his girlfriend, “liked to live life on the edge,” his brother told a San Diego newspaper.
