So former White House press secretary Scott McClellan admits to giving talking points direct from White House sources to right wing pundits, and Fox is fighting back like mad and Dizzying King of Spin O’Reilly immediately using the QUICK! point the finger elsewhere QUICK! tactic. You fucking soul-less coward. O’Reilly and his ilk — and folks like Chris Matthews on the other side as well — should all be shipped to Iraq to have their bodies used as human shields to protect our soldiers. But even McClellan’s claim comes as a shock, in a not so shocking way. FUCKITWE’REDOOMED.

ZOMG ALL OUR BUILDINGS ARE BELONG TO THEM:

The latest Big Apple trophy being coveted by oil-rich sovereign wealth funds is the landmark Chrysler Building. Sources say the super-rich Abu Dhabi Investment Council is negotiating an $800 million deal for a 75 percent stake in the Art Deco treasure that has defined the Midtown skyline since 1930.

This follows closely on the heels of the recent purchase by a partnerneship including Dubai-based Meraas Capital of another New York landmark, the General Motors Building:

Boston Properties said its partners in the $2.8 billion purchase of New York’s General Motors Building include Dubai private equity firm Meraas Capital, newswire Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.
The involvement of Meraas Capital reflects the increased interest by oil rich Middle Eastern funds in US property, especially New York real estate, an analyst told the newswire.

Of course, the crown jewel in the Arab Real Estate portfolio is an out-of-the-way single-family-home, on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington DC. They bought that shit about 8 years ago. But rumors on the internet say it might be for sale again. Just a matter of who has enough cash to pay the asking price.

Didn’t you hear? Last week an Illinois Christian priest was derided and reprimanded by a state representative in front of the House State Government Administration Committee for spreading a philosophy that’s dangerous to children.

Oh wait, I’m sorry. It wasn’t a priest. It was an atheist who objected the government dishing out 1 million dollars to a Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago, and he was met with the following response from Rep. Monique Davis (D).

Davis: I’m trying to understand the philosophy that you want to spread in the state of Illinois. This is the Land of Lincoln. This is the Land of Lincoln where people believe in God, where people believe in protecting their children.… What you have to spew and spread is extremely dangerous, it’s dangerous–

Sherman: What’s dangerous, ma’am?

Davis: It’s dangerous to the progression of this state. And it’s dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists! Now you will go to court to fight kids to have the opportunity to be quiet for a minute. But damn if you’ll go to [court] to fight for them to keep guns out of their hands. I am fed up! Get out of that seat!

Sherman: Thank you for sharing your perspective with me, and I’m sure that if t his matter does go to court—

Davis: You have no right to be here! We believe in something. You believe in destroying! You believe in destroying what this state was built upon.

Does a fossil of a trilobite squished by a shod human foot cast doubt on the generally accepted timeline of human history? Maybe all those nutty Christian assholes are onto something with their whole “OMG DINOSAURS REALLY DID CO-EXIST!!!!” jargon.

Its sad that the this is what the world comes to, where things get played out in less than one day (for more information on this phenomenon please see Leave Brittney Alone, etc, al).

Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties & local bars to be alert and remain cautious when offered a drink by any woman. Many females use a date rape drug on the market called “Beer.” The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in cans, bottles, or from taps and in large “kegs” Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them. A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers, men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking women whom they would never normally be attracted. After drinking beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that “something bad” occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life’s savings, in a familiar scam known as “a relationship.” In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as “marriage.” Men are much more susceptible to this scam after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females.
