Well, Someone Had To Do It......

Ferguson Protesters Angry at WH for Stealing Attention

(Ferguson Mo.- MFNS.) Street protesters in Ferguson are a bit miffed at being pushed off the front page and the media's lack of reporting of their protests now that other stories are stealing the headlines in the countries mainstream news.

Protest Leaders 'Little Pee Pee', Susan X and 'DJ Snoop Doggy Doo'

Spokesman for the protesters, Kwamie Lazulu (aka Little PP), told MFNS that he and other leaders of the neighborhood demonstrations are very much upset and despondent at the diminishing coverage of their grievances and marches against Ferguson's Law Enforcement Agencies and City Officials.

Lazulu and baby mommy, Shaquanda Washington, who have led daily marches in Ferguson believe racism is the cause of being ignored in national news reports. He told our reporter:
"We got the Panthers up in here yellin' about offin' crackers, we be lootin', burglarizing, jackin' 7-11's ...hell we even tried runnin' over some ATF guys today and nothin'.....nothin' but that golf playin' half cracker in DC and that fat ass globe trippin' turnip dancing fashion diva he married to is all we hear bout!  Know what I'm sayin'?  Kanye and Kim's ass....Barack and Michelle. That's all we be hearing bout. And all we got tellin' our story is that little redheaded cracka from GotNews down here..........Come on man.......we down here in the trenches riskin' our lives and EBT cards in the name of Mike......uh....what's that niggas' name again baby........yeah....Mike Brown. It be all about Mike Brown......know what I'm sayin? What we gotta do....get us some Erbola all up in here to get some attention or what?"
The Ferguson protesters plan to continue their efforts this weekend with rallies, a picnic-barbeque, a face painting booth and civil disobedience in and around Ferguson. 

Ebolatarianism


So now we get former towel boy to both Vice President Joe Biden and Al Gore
to hold the public's hand. The only thing Obama can think of to address the 
Ebola crisis is to create more govt…. how sad for us.

Blizzard of Lies

"In 1996, the late, great New York Times columnist William Safire published a column, 'Blizzard of lies,' in which he laid out a series of falsehoods by Hillary Rodham Clinton and declared 'Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -€” a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -€” is a congenital liar.'
 "Today, Americans of all political stripes are coming to a similar, sad realization about our president. A recent Fox News poll asked Americans 'How often does Barack Obama lie to the country on important matters?' Thirty-seven percent said 'most of the time,' 24 percent said 'some of the time,' and 20 percent said 'only now and then.' Just 15% said 'never.'
 "Think about that: 81 percent of Americans believe that Obama lies to them at least 'now and then' on 'important matters.' "That is simply stunning."     — Marc A. Thiessen, The Washington Post

A Message From The Nobel Peace Prize Committee

Deceased Floridians Kick Off Early Voting

Nearly 1 Million Americans Have Cast Ballots Already
For Midterm Elections
(AP) — Midterm elections are less than three weeks away, yet more than 904,000 Americans already have cast their ballots, with almost 60 percent of those early votes in Florida, according to data compiled by The Associated Press from election officials in 11 states.
Those numbers are climbing daily as more states begin their advance voting periods and more voters return mail-in ballots ahead of Nov. 4.  Thirty-three states and the District of Columbia allow some form of advance voting other than traditional absentee voting requiring an excuse.
A spokesman for national Democrats, Justin Barasky, said the party is especially focused on encouraging early voting by Democrats who usually don’t participate in midterms.
More than 2.35 million people voted early in Florida four years ago, while the 2012 number neared 4.8 million. It’s worth noting that Republicans led in the early stages in 2012 — a turnabout from Obama’s first presidential campaign. Yet Obama ended up carrying Florida a second time anyway.

Democrat Blues: Seeing Red Everywhere......

Republicans have single-party control in 23 states:
And More to Come

Mother Jones
There's never been a worse time to be a Democrat in a red state. Republicans now hold all the reins of power—the governorship and both houses of the state legislature—in 23 states. That's up from just nine before the 2010 elections. There are now more states under single-party control than at any time since 1944. And without even token Democratic opposition, Republicans have busted unions in Michigan and Wisconsin, passed draconian tax cuts in Kansas, and enacted sweeping new abortion restrictions across the nation.
"We are on offense this year," says Jill Bader, communications director for the Republican State Leadership Conference (RSLC), which works to elect Republican state legislators. "We're building these new majorities in some states that have been traditionally Democratic."
Midterm elections present problems for Democrats. The party's most loyal voting blocs—young voters and minorities, in particular—tend to vote at lower rates than in presidential years. This year, President Barack Obama's falling approval rating could drag down Democratic candidates for state legislative seats. And thanks to the GOP's widespread success in 2010, Republicans were able to redraw many states' legislative maps after that year's census, gerrymandering themselves into solid and consistent majorities.

What Does It Say of the Administration's Priorities.......

...when, after one Ebola death and two infections in Dallas, the Administration still hasn't sent as many personnel to Dallas as it did to Ferguson following the shooting death of Michael Brown?

Meet The most Confused Woman in America

by Don Surber
CNN ran a column yesterday by Theresa Corbin, “I’m a feminist, and I converted to Islam." She’s 34 and lives in New Orleans. She runs a site, Islamwich, which she describes as “one slice muslim. one slice ‘merican. and all that comes between."
In her column, Theresa Corbett wrote:
"I am the product of a Creole Catholic and an Irish atheist. I grew up Catholic, then was agnostic, now I’m Muslim. My journey to Islam began when I was about 15 years old in Mass and had questions about my faith. The answers from teachers and clergymen -- don’t worry your pretty little head about it -- didn’t satisfy me.
 So I did what any red-blooded American would do: the opposite. I worried about it. For many years. I questioned the nature of religion, man and the universe."
In short, she was the pedestrian full-of-herself teenager. Some stay that way and become liberals. She became a Muslim.
You get more attention that way:
 "It was 2001, and I had been putting off converting for a while. I feared what people would think but was utterly miserable. When 9/11 happened, the actions of the hijackers horrified me. But in its aftermath, I spent most of my time defending Muslims and their religion to people who were all too eager to paint a group of 1.6 billion people with one brush because of the actions of a few."
 The actions of a few -- condemned by even fewer.
 She insists her new religion is pro-woman, even though women are the property of men, denied schooling, forced to marry extremely young in some countries, and stoned if they are raped in many countries.
 But I am not here to argue.
I am here to review the inconsistencies:
"These days, I am a proud wearer of hijab. You can call it a scarf. My scarf does not tie my hands behind my back, and it is not a tool of oppression. It doesn’t prevent thoughts from entering my head and leaving my mouth. But I didn’t always know this.
 Studying Islam didn’t immediately dispel all my cultural misconceptions. I had been raised on imagery of women in the East being treated like chattel by men who forced them to cover their bodies out of shame or a sense of ownership.
But when I asked a Muslim woman “Why do you wear that?”, her answer was obvious and appealing: “To please God. To be recognized as a woman who is to be respected and not harassed. So that I can protect myself from the male gaze.”
 Men however are open to female gaze.
But I get the connection to feminism and Islam. Both are outside the American mainstream and neither seems to care about the rights of others.

The Statement That May Have Sealed Mary Landrieu's Fate

This evening I attended the U.S. Senate Candidate's Debate held  here at Centenary College Shreveport. For the most part, it was as expected, Landrieu attacked Cassidy's voting record, Cassidy corrected the lies in her campaign ads and made her own up to her record which she seems proud of, and the Tea Party Candidate seemed bored with the whole thing.

At the very end, all three candidates were asked to rate the President, and Governor Jindal. It was Mary's answer that brought smiles and muted laughter from some of the state's most noted political watchers in attendance. Having distanced herself from the Obama throughout her re-election campaign, no one expected her to answer as she did. Running 4 points behind Cassidy, some say it was a 'Hail Mary', so to speak, and a very unwise thing to say.

Here's video from Louisiana Public Broadcasting.

Wendy Davis, Meet Karma

 "Being a believer in what goes around comes around, it looks to me like Karma has caught up with and smacked Wendy Davis where it will really hurt, in the election she will lose.  Texans see Davis for what she is, an opportunist and someone who will stoop to anything.  Now that is what Karma is all about." - Rob Janicki
