ThreeCrows: The Republican party is no longer follows the aura of

ThreeCrows: The Republican party is no longer follows the aura of: "A federal judge just knocked down the Texas voter ID law because in all of the millions of votes conducted in Texas, the number of voter fraud totaled up to 16. The Republicans have created this fallacy and fable that all of a sudden, America is under siege with voter fraud and it must be stopped. In the Texas case, the judge realized that the only ones who will be impacted by this voter ID law would be the poor and the Republicans know this. They are creating this unwarranted fear when in truth, there is no rampant voter fraud going on unless you're rich and you can pay people to vote your way. The Republicans want to keep minorities out of the voting booth this fall and that's why they are pushing this agenda. Nobody is fooled by this move or the lies they've been spewing. Richard Nixon's ghost has been raised in this new Republican party."

Jon Stewart Mocks Inaccuracies In Paul Ryan's VP Acceptance Speech (VIDEO)

Jon Stewart Mocks Inaccuracies In Paul Ryan's VP Acceptance Speech (VIDEO): "The Republican party is no longer follows the aura of Ronald Reagan and after hearing Paul Ryan speech and the Romney's campaign of ignoring fact checkers, this Republican party has decided to reanimate Richard Nixon, filled with liars, cheaters, obfuscation and press manipulation. The American public need to know, I am not a crook, I just won't reveal my taxes for some sensitive years while I hide my money in offshore Cayman accounts. I mean, rich guys like me, that's what we do, am I right Donald Trump."

Paul Ryan's Convention Speech Ignites Media War Over Facts

Paul Ryan's Convention Speech Ignites Media War Over Facts: "The last time we had a notable Republican lie to the American people on a grand scale was Richard Nixon. Paul Ryan wasted no time in misleading his position and after watching an interview he conducted with CBS's Scott Paley, he ignored the obvious evidence that he lied and took the position that he interpreted the language differently on the credit rating downgrade. Now why would you want a team like that in the white House who comes in ignoring the facts that all the media outlets, including Fox, find deplorable and outlandish? The Romney campaign has boldly made the statement that fact checking will not be recognized or acknowledge. So we have a campaign that will be based on fiction and tall tales made up from whole cloth. Do they think they are Jedi's playing mind tricks, "You will release the wooki to me and you will believe all the lies that I'm telling you about Obama's record." What I am waiting for is for one of these Sunday morning talking heads to say enough amd let these guys have it and force them to tell truth. Of course that's just a fantasy because these guys are spineless when it comes to making politicians tell the truth.. And the lies continue."

ThreeCrows: @JimmyKimmel recently aid the same thing about Leno. And it

ThreeCrows: @JimmyKimmel recently aid the same thing about Leno. And it: "The ratings were low because the early Leno show was dragging the ratings down and many of the local affiliates had begun to complain that it was impacting their news time. They had planned on putting something else on to stop the eroding ratings number. NBC didn't want to lose Leno and made the decision to put him back and he, being the corporate spineless shill, went along with it, never mind the agreement made with Conan. If Leno had done the admirable thing and walked away or took the cancellation, Conan would have eventually seen his numbers go up. His show still would have made money for NBC. The thing that annoyed the comedic establishment is that they knew who the real Jay Leno was and even though he claimed he had nothing to do with it, he went along with it and lost so many of his peers along with their respect. Jay also crossed the Writer's Guild picket line too and that didn't sit well with them either. Letterman made an agreement with the Writer's Guild that honored the picket line and he paid for the writers out of his own pocket."

Geraldo Rivera Addresses Lesbian Rumors About Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary

Geraldo Rivera Addresses Lesbian Rumors About Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary: "Hi, I'm Geraldo Rivera, from the gay police squad. My job is to go and report suspected gay people and force them to admit to me, in the name of big time ratings, that they are in deed, butt patrolling, pantie tapping, pipe touching, pie ala mode licking queens. I was sworn in by my supreme leader, Rupert Murdoch, I love than man but not in a Brokeback Mountain way but in an Expendable 2 kind of manly way. I know it's been years since I've been relevant, Capone's vault anyone, so I do what I need to do because Fox News will rule the world in ten years because my leader will make it so. I'm Geraldo Rivera, what's your sexual orientation?"

Howard Stern Rips Jay Leno Over 'Tonight Show' Staff Cuts; NBC Reprimands Him

Howard Stern Rips Jay Leno Over 'Tonight Show' Staff Cuts; NBC Reprimands Him: "@JimmyKimmel recently aid the same thing about Leno. And it seems Stern, Kimmel and others have Jay's number. Leno didn't win any friends when he reneged on his word to give up the Tonight Show only to go along with NBC and get it back. He could have easily stayed out of the fray and bowed out gracefully. He claims he bank his salary and rely on his standup routine that makes his money. Among his comedian peers, they don't respect him. He could have just hit the circuit and could have discovered uncharted waters and new opportunities. Instead, a contentious battle begins, longtime feelings are damaged and never recovered and a pattern is established for we have seen this before when Leno hid in a closet to eavesdrop on a meeting on who would take over the Tonight Show, him or Letterman. Carson anointed Letterman for the job but NBC didn't like Letterman's abrasive style and uncontrollable behavior. Leno was their puppet and they went with him. History will one day look back on this era and perhaps give a more academic look at the Late Night wars and see that Leno did more harm to himself by not staying true to his word. In the end, sometimes that's all that we have."

Katie Couric: CBS Made Me Feel 'Constrained,' 'I Felt Liberated' When I Left

Katie Couric: CBS Made Me Feel 'Constrained,' 'I Felt Liberated' When I Left: "Katie Couric was banking on that perky personality to carry over viewers to CBS along with her tour of the country to get people to tune in, just as she is doing now. Unfortunately, this reality show turned sour as the ratings proved to be disastrous in record setting ways. She did score big points with the Sarah Palin interview that's part of news history. Now she's going on the offensive for what purpose? Should she say how things were at NBC? The fact is, Katie didn't translate in the evening news department. And it's interesting that she's going after her former network when she was the managing editor, responsible for the content of the broadcast. What is also interesting is that this "powerful" woman is trying to find an out for her time at CBS. She did blame gender at one point in a commencement speech, it had nothing to do with her ratings and also showed a double standard. There was just something that people found off putting with her and she needs to accept the ugly truth that perky only goes so far and you can't have it all."

Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell And Connie Nielsen To Begin Filming Lars Von Trier's 'Nymphomaniac'

Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell And Connie Nielsen To Begin Filming Lars Von Trier's 'Nymphomaniac': "Other films have done unsimulated sex before with big stars in them and without the big stars so this isn't a new trend. Caligula, from Penthouse legend the late Bob Guccione, had Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren and Peter O'Toole in it. So, if they are looking for shock value to promote the film, a little research will show that real sex was performed in many films that were't classified as porn. Ken Park by Larry Clark featured a young cast having sex and even Robert DeNiro made a film called 1900 with Gérard Depardieu where they both were on the receiving end of a happy ender from a female. Shia should take a look at those films and feel a little at ease in going in if he is serious about his craft, if not, bow out gracefully if he has any trepidation."

Republican Convention Coverage Threatened By Isaac As Media Bigs Abandon Tampa

Republican Convention Coverage Threatened By Isaac As Media Bigs Abandon Tampa: "George W. Bush wasn't invited to the GOP convention but his ghost will be there as this hurricane looms towards New Orleans. Bush's haunting words "heck of a job, Brownie", will echo in those empty corridors as the 7th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina comes on the very day Hurricane Issac touches landfall. The costliest natural disaster in the U.S. was mangled under a GOP president that was to be his legacy throughout his administration. Karma, as they say, is a female dog (edited for HuffPost heavy censor hand). And Mitt Romney would say that this hurricane is helping Obama's core voting block and if he'd have his way, the infrastructure put in to hold back the water and the new pumps, would all disappear under his cost cutting measures. So what if over 1800 people lost their lives. So what if a city doesn't get to rebuild. So what if crime goes up because criminals flee to other parts of the country and spread their lawlessness. The main thing for him is that his tax cuts will continue to help his peer group of Grey-Poupon swilling elitists enjoying their off shore bank accounts because domestic bank accounts are just too gosch."

Megyn Kelly Gets Big Role For Conventions; Calls Jon Stewart 'School Bully'

Megyn Kelly Gets Big Role For Conventions; Calls Jon Stewart 'School Bully': "Megyn Kelly claims she reports both sides of the story and yet the article states that she covered the last five minutes of her show to the Todd Akin legitimate rape comment and nothing on the stripping naked and swimming in the sea congressman. How is that both sides when you cherry pick your stories to spin it your way? Being a hypocrite is easy when you're on television and can say and do as you please. You just ignore the other side and continue to press your agenda forward on Fox News. Good looks doesn't make you right and once that beauty fades and wrinkles up, you'll be whining about that too when they move you off the air and claim sexism later as you benefit now."

Paul Slansky: Paul Ryan Said Something That Should Force Him Off the Ticket, But You Probably Didn't Hear About It

Paul Slansky: Paul Ryan Said Something That Should Force Him Off the Ticket, But You Probably Didn't Hear About It: "The media is too concerned about reporting on Snooki's bastard child. Why hasn't Paul Ryan's comments been reported by every news outlet? The media is quick to defend its actions but they've dropped the ball too many times during the years while concentrating on tweets, instagrams and Facebook and have lost focus. There's a station in Houston that has eliminated news anchors and just give rolling news reports in a constant stream. There are no faces just audio of what's been going on in the world. No pre-produced pieces to give the story a dramatic edge like some outlets do. Maybe we'll hear about this in the coming days, if not, well, that's another black eye for journalism."

Neil Armstrong's Death Draws Limited Television Coverage

Neil Armstrong's Death Draws Limited Television Coverage: "Hearing about Neil Armstrong was a sad moment as it brought back those grainy black and white images of that historic moment. Yes, there was little coverage in this news world of today when the birth of a baby from a no talent Snooki gained way too much devoted time on ABC Sunday morning than with Neil Armstrong. This is what we have today in a news cycle, impending hurricane, a Republican convention, Todd Akin's "legitimate rape", Snooki's baby, and Neil Armstrong. I sometimes wonder if he was more visible, where would we be in space? Thise grainy images of the surface of the move should have been brought to us in HD by now with subsequent landings and a base being established. Of course two wars cost a lot of money and peace time exploration is way on the back burner. Space wasn't a priority from the previous administration, just war and pumping up the cash flow of rich people. Imagine the jobs that could have been created in all fields and the level of education that could have been restarted all because of Neil Armstrong. But I'm a dreamer and we all know what dreamers wind up doing, thinking about the heavens. who knows, maybe that Star Trek vessel is not so much of a fantasy thanks to men like Neil Armstrong."

Eve Ensler: Dear Mr. Akin, I Want You to Imagine...

Eve Ensler: Dear Mr. Akin, I Want You to Imagine...: "Todd Akins has given 2012 either the number one phrase or at least a top five phrase, "legitimate rape" , for the year. And he has garnered some misguided followers with his pseudoscience that rape won't impregnate a woman. And what dies he say to Jaycee Dugard and the recently found young girl who were held captive and raped and impregnated by their captors, why did their biology from the stress stop them from getting pregnant? Maybe they were children getting raped and he has to come up with another bone headed answer to qualify that scenario? And if the Republicans can think they can separate themselves from Akin's philosophy, we've come to find out that several Republicans subscribe to his way of thinking, including Paul Ryan. From tampering with the voting rights act to controlling women's reproductive rights, the Republicans can't hide from their obstructionist ways."

Mitt Romney Makes Birth Certificate Joke

Mitt Romney Makes Birth Certificate Joke: "It's nice to see the elitist class system in full effect these days. Willard Mitt Romney is reverting back to his old high school bullying days with that line. Sure, he doesn't have any memory bullying a gay kid but the old memory muscle is still working. When all else has failed you, go for the same old tired act that has been debunked time and time again. He's playing the 2008 politics here. What next, releasing Sarah Palin as his attack dog? Are you going to pull out Bill Ayers or Jeremiah Wright again? Nobody is going to ask a rich Republican white guy about his birth certificate because you're a rich Republican white guy. You and your party have disdain for Obama because he's smart and well spoken. You'd prefer someone with a dialect of Stepin Fetchit. You need to create this fear to divide and conquer when the enemy is your party. Who would have imagine that the new words for 2012 to emerge came from your party, legitimate rape, who knew that there was such a thing. I'm sure Jaycee Dugard can feel a since of calm knowing that she bore two children through a legitimate rape since her body didn't shut down and prevent her from getting pregnant. And I'm sure that girl who was kidnapped at 15 and was just found fell the same way after giving birth to her captor's child. But keep throwing up the birther nonsense, that's a real selling feature."

Bill Maher: My New Rule for Todd Akin and the Republican Party

Bill Maher: My New Rule for Todd Akin and the Republican Party: "Oh to rage against the machine, Bill Maher but I must take one exception to this piece of fine soliloquy. You stated that there is a difference between the GOP convention and Comic Con. I disagree. You see, I feel that the GOP must think that they are the Jedi Council or the Darth Mauls. Surely they all think that they have the ability to say anything so unbelievable that they can convince the public that it's true. Jedi Master John Boehner wants to convince you Obama increased the federal dole by adding 200,000 workers, not true. Darth Maul Mitch McConnel makes no bones about defeating this rebel upstart by opposing anything that's can benefit the public because for no other reason other than he can. Mitt Romney, a weaker Darth Maul, wants you to believe that Obama is changing the rules of work and welfare and the true Darth Vader, Dick Cheney, has destroyed the economic policies of the globe, created wars and defiled the concept of human decency. Newt Gingrich has become a probe droid and Paul Ryan, the former free thinker, is Romney's padawan. May the force be with us."

50 Cent's 'Be My Bi--h' Video Features Threesome, Headphones

50 Cent's 'Be My Bi--h' Video Features Threesome, Headphones: "Ah yes, how the love songs have changed over the years. Barry White had songs titles of I've Got So Much to Give, Can't Get Enough of Your Love; Aretha Franklin's Daydreaming and I'm Thinking of You, Luther Vandross's Here and Now, James Ingram's Just Once but we have new artist now and what woman wouldn't mind you singing her a song called Be My Bi-ch? It just says everything romantic and cuts to the chase of all that hearts and flowers stuff that get's in the way. Sure, most guys down drive around in Bentley's, I personally am a Chevy Truck guy, but hey, you'be got to sing about all your material stuff because that's what's important. Why languish on the deep emotional connection, just show her your car and when you take her to your home there's another woman there and you didn't GHB her. And again, most guy's don't have threesome after picking up random chicks in bars unless you're third in line for the throne.   So ladies, get those love songs out your mind and settle for the quick and base love songs. Who has the time these days to listen to Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes, AL Green's Let's Stay Together, Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight, Elvis Presley's Love Me Tender, Alicia Keys' Fallin, surely these songs just clogs up the brain with wasted feelings of love."

Lance Armstrong Won't Fight Doping Charges; USADA Aims To Strip Him Of Tour De France Titles

Lance Armstrong Won't Fight Doping Charges; USADA Aims To Strip Him Of Tour De France Titles: "Let's take a portion of Lance Armstrong's live and hold it up too scrutiny and that period is when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. During that time when he fought that battle and won and came back to race, he was tested continually for all types of analysis and in all of that testing, no evidence was given that he took and performance enhancing cocktail or that his blood had been doped. Why would he jeopardize his health after battling that disease? It appears more that the only evidence is hearsay evidence on a person's taped phone call and those who may have a jealousy towards Lance Armstrong. I wish he wouldn't give up the fight to defend his honor and his title, it may mean more to the thousands than he realize for those who went along with him in this historic journey. Maybe a team effort should be made on his behalf to continue this fight because this man has been tested and retested more than any athlete in all of sports and came out clean.The judge may have dismissed his lawsuit but he did make a valid point on the lack of any evidence to support the doping claim. No, this is not just Lance Armstrong that's being attacked, it's that kid who needed a hero who rode a bike and inspired all kids to try a little harder and to believe in themselves. Fight this Lance, you're not just in it by yourself."

All Hail Jimmy Kimmel - Hollywood Reporter

All Hail Jimmy Kimmel - Hollywood Reporter: "Interesting article on the late night talk show circuit. What started off as an experiment with Steve Allen early in television history has evolved into a plethora of comics helming their own show with people gravitating to their selective camps (Letterman,Kimmel, Leno, O'Brien). While the author may give Letterman a legendary ranking, he is the respected godfather of late night talk shows. This was bestowed on him by Johnny Carson who wanted him to be the one to succeed him, not a corporate butt kissing closet hiding yes man. And it was clearly brought home when Carson dies and it was revealed that Carson wrote jokes for Letterman and had appeared twice on his show and zero times on his old show. The author is correct in wanting to delve more into Leno's tarnished ratings crown because his peers don't give him the respect they bestow on Letterman. Letterman, in his prime, was groundbreaking in his attack on biting the hand that feeds him, man on the street, not caring about guest celebrity status, it was always good to see guest wonder what he would do or say to them. and there were the guest he couldn't figure out but made for great television (Crispin Glover, Larry "Bud" Melman, Joaquin Phoenix, Harvey Pekar). 

And Kimmel has great respect for him and it's reciprocated as well. Kimmel was on Letterman as a guest and the author is correct, Letterman has given him what Carson had gave him, the respect and anointment to go and succeed him when his time is done. Letterman is starting to see his window close and he, like Carson, will go out on his own term and Jimmy Kimmel, if he's smart, will reap the benefits of being the next godfather of late night, with respect to Jon Stewart.

Todd Akin's Party: More Than 40 Republican Candidates Oppose Abortion In Cases Of Rape, Incest

Todd Akin's Party: More Than 40 Republican Candidates Oppose Abortion In Cases Of Rape, Incest: "When this great nation was formed, blacks were considered property and lower in status than a pig and only white men could vote. As the nation grew, the Native Americans were nearly eliminated by the white men as they took over their land and broke treaties. After the Civil War, blacks still couldn't vote, women couldn't vote and the government sanctioned Jim Crow laws. Fast forward to the World Wars and American Japanese are placed in internment camps, women do vote and the government sanctions segregation in the military. We move forward and civil rights laws are passed, abortion laws are passed and voting rights laws are passed. And today, we have GOP politicians wanting to roll back voting laws by claiming voter fraud where little exist, rape can be legitimate and apparently has categories and if you get pregnant from a rape, abortion is off the table with the Akin 40 members. Yes, we're really come a long way haven't we."

Newsweek Heavily Criticized For Niall Ferguson Article (VIDEO)

Newsweek Heavily Criticized For Niall Ferguson Article (VIDEO): "Niall Ferguson disclosed that he worked on the John McCain campaign in 2008 so that should have told you where he stood when he wrote this article. Newsweek has damaged its credibility by now claiming that the article as an "opinion" article. Strange that you don't see that in the article. Compounding Newsweek's problem is the state of journalism of late with plagiarism from some of the most lauded and respected news organizations. Now Newsweek is allowing opinion articles to come off as factual, unfettered, tested against scrutiny articles. But if Newsweek wishes to go in the direction of opinion article writing, well, we already have that whenever we head for the supermarket checkout counter. Hey, where is that National Enquirer about Jessica Simpson's is having another baby and she's calling it Wait Watt Cher, where's the Globe Magazine about alien babies cloned from Hitler's bunker, never mind, Newsweek is here and it has a story about millions spent on making a real Transformer War Machine. As the famous woman once said, And so it goes."

Fox News Wonders Why Team USA's Uniforms Are Not Patriotic Enough (VIDEO)

Fox News Wonders Why Team USA's Uniforms Are Not Patriotic Enough (VIDEO): "For Gabby Douglas when idiots talk about hair and uniform:

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Woman, my child! "
