8:18 PM
zimbio
Admit it, you may not love the Jets, but you’re loving this season of Hard Knocks.
The locker room access. Rex Ryan’s awful eating habits and worse language. Antonio Cromartie’s gaggle of kids. Darrelle Revis. HBO could put out an hour episode a day and still not cover everything surrounding this team. They’ve got more storylines than a mid-day soap opera.
Now three episodes in, we’re closer than ever to the start of the season. But what have we really learned about the Jets?
Here are 10 Things…
1. If Mark Sanchez Really Is The Difference Between The Jets Going To The Super Bowl Or Not, They Probably Shouldn’t Pack Their Bags Just Yet: Look, I’m not ragging on Sanchez here, if only because most quarterbacks take a step back in their second year in the league. There’s a reason Marty Schottenheimer said in Episode 2 “If you get a second year quarterback to perform at his rookie level, that’s when you know you’ve made progress.”
At the same time, is it just me, or does Sanchez seem kind of immature? You know, like when his quarterbacks coach came in and said, “You know what you’re almost ready to do,” and Sanchez replied, “Stop sucking.” Sorry Mark, but that was a little too “11-year-old girl who got a C on her reading test” for my taste. As his coach said, you’re an NFL quarterback Mark, time to start acting like it.
Regardless, this has been my biggest contention with the Jets all preseason, what do they do if Sanchez isn’t ready? It’s not like he lit the world on fire last year, and unless someone gives him a blow torch and some gasoline, I don’t think he’s going to do it in 2010 either.
Also, is this really a guy you can see keeping everyone calm when the going gets tough? Is he going to be able to keep Santonio Holmes, LT, Braylon Edwards and everybody else in line when they’re not getting touches? I’m not really sure he’s that guy yet. And until he is, the Jets aren’t going to the Super Bowl.
2. Speaking of Sanchez, His Backup Apparently Isn’t A Big Fan Either: Umm, it’s not that Mark Brunell is jealous, bitter or hostile toward his younger counterpart. If anything, he’s been a good mentor from what we’ve seen (“His don’t blame the arrow, blame the Indian,” speech was straight out of my grandma’s playbook from the 1940’s. All he needed was a bowl of tapioca pudding while saying it).
No Brunell’s beef is different, but actually just like yours or mine: Brunell isn’t a big fan of Sanchez for the simple fact that his 18-year-old daughter (Just five years younger than Sanchez), has the hots for the Jets starting QB. Brunell even went on the record a few episodes ago and told Sanchez, “You’re not meeting her.”
And quite honestly, who could blame Brunell? The NFL already has one gray-bearded, 40-year-old quarterback that recently became a first time grandfather, one Brett Favre. Brunell certainly doesn’t want to be No. 2.
3. The Most Surprisingly Compelling Character So Far Has Been Special Teams Coach Mike Westhoff: First off, the dude is a cancer survivor, which already makes him cooler than you or I. But beyond that, it’s Westhoff's, “I don’t care who the hell you are, if you can’t play get the hell off my football field,” Herman Boone approach to the game that makes him so fun to follow.
It’s also led to some killer one liner’s too. Here are a few of my favorites:
Westhoff on tight end Matt Mulligan’s excuse for his subpar play: “I don’t give a shit if you’ve got the triple f***ing Asian flu,” you’ve got to play better.
Westhoff on underachieving wide receiver David Clowney, “We’ve been talking about David Clowney’s potential since… I don’t know… When Bush was President.”
And finally his take on rookie cornerback Donovan Warren, “Donny, that was a good tackle you made in that drill. If you’d have played like that last year, maybe Michigan would’ve won some damn games!”
4. The Most Surprisingly Compelling Scene Of The Season Came At The Rookie Talent Show, Where Brian Jackson Won, “King Ugly”: What’s King Ugly, you ask? Well it’s a team vote on the three ugliest rookies in camp. Everyone donates a few bucks, and as Rex Ryan explained, “The third place winner gets 75 percent of the pot. The second place winner gets 25 percent. The first place winner gets nothing… because he’s so damn ugly he doesn’t deserve it.” Well then. (Also, don’t you wish we handed out “King Ugly,” Awards on every team, and in every league? Jorge Cantu would be working on his seventh straight MLB King Ugly Award right now.)
This year’s King Ugly competition took a surprising turn, when rookie offensive lineman Vladimir Duccasse was so ugly that he won both the second and third place prizes. (And believe me when I say, that dude is UGLY. If Shrek had a 6’5, 325 lb. brother who played in the NFL, it’d have definitely been Duccasse).
Meanwhile, the first prize went to cornerback Brian Jackson, not so much for his looks, but just simply because everybody on the team loathes him.
If you don’t believe me, check out the scene where the defensive veterans get pissed off at Jackson, tie him to the goal post, paste Icy Hot all over his body, then dump two buckets of Gatorade on his face. Funny scene. Unless you’re Jackson of course.
5. The Guy With The Coolest Name On The Team Has To Be…: 6’8 Defensive End Ropati Pitoitua. You thought I was going to say D’Brickishaw Ferguson, didn’t you?
6. LaDainian Tomlinson May Have Had The Most Unnecessarily Exuberant Touchdown Celebration I’ve Ever Seen: In Episode 2, when he jumped over the pile for a meaningless score, then slammed the ball down like he’d just clinched a Super Bowl win or something. Wow.
LT, my man, we get it. You’ve got a chip on your shoulder because of the way things ended in San Diego. We’re on your side. But it’s August 18, not December 18. You’re going against the second string in practice, not the first string of the Patriots. Deep breaths buddy, deep breaths.
Honestly, the whole scene reminded me of when one of my buddies ends an especially long dry spell, with an especially ugly girl, and acts like he just banged Scarlett Johansson. We know you’ve been there before. Act like it.
7. The Tony Dungy-Rex Ryan Controversy Is The Stupidest Storyline Of The Show: Look, I like Dungy. He’s a good man and a good family man from all accounts. He won a Super Bowl, which is obviously better than anything I’ll ever do in my life. But, the fact that he criticized Ryan for swearing too much on Hard Knocks, might be the single stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
As my high school football coach used to say, football isn’t a contact sport. It’s a collision sport. A game where guys recklessly throw their bodies into and through one another, for sixty minutes a week, four months a year.
So if Ryan needs to drop a few F-Bombs to get his point across, is it really that big of a deal? This is a profession where guys are paid to inflict pain on their opponents. Where broken bones and torn and ACL’s are hazards of the job. Where up until a few years ago, people treated concussions like paper cuts. In context, are a few F-Bombs that bad?
Besides, the show isn’t on ABC Family. It’s on HBO. If the language doesn’t please you Mr. Dungy, don’t watch. It’s really that simple. I'm on Rex's side on this one.
8. Joe McKnight Might Be The Least Likeable Guy On This Team: Or at least that’s how the producers of the show want us to think of him.
This guy puked in minicamp, failed a conditioning test, and really seems about as indifferent as a stoned 10th grader stuck in algebra class. Bart Scott even summed him up by saying that McKnight was frustrated because he was “Taking a pay cut,” by leaving USC for the Jets. Zing.
I suppose we probably should have known things were bad with McKnight when Santonio Holmes had to calm him down and become his voice of reason. When Santonio Holmes has to talk sense into you, that’s a pretty good sign that things aren’t going well.
9. Forget The Players, The Scariest Guy On The Jets Is Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine: I mentioned it in my Episode 1 Recap, and I’ll say it again: This guy looks like he broke out of San Quentin two days before camp. Was he coaching in the California Penal League last year?
All I’m saying is this: If Pettine tries to trade one of his backup linebackers for a carton of cigarettes next episode, I’m alerting the authorities.
10. Antonio Cromartie Needs A Vasectomy: I’m not really going to touch too much on this. If only because everyone and their mother’s have already cracked wise on Cromartie, and I don’t feel the need to pile on the poor guy (Ok, that’s a lie. I’m just not going to get too much into it, because I’m a week late, and everyone’s already used up all the good jokes. Damn.).
On a serious note though, how dumb is this guy? What’s he got now, seven kids in five states? Eight kids in six? I can’t keep track, but then again neither can he.
Also, please Antonio, don’t try and tell us that the producers made you look bad. They didn’t. You’ve got eight kids with six women or whatever. You made you look bad! Instead of blaming others, shouldn’t you have started wearing a condom after your second or third kid…of 2007? How are the producers at fault, when you have worse safe sex habits than the entire cast of Teenage Mom?
On a separate note, after all Cromartie’s baby momma’s suck dry his NFL riches (my guess is that if the Jets do win the Super Bowl this year, we’ll be seeing Cromartie’s championship ring on eBay sometime in 2017), he could probably make a nice second career out of donating sperm.
Think about it, if you were a single woman in her 40’s desperately trying to have a kid, wouldn’t Cromartie be your go to guy? Wouldn’t you be tracking him down, wining and dining him, then handing him a six-year-old copy of Playboy and a plastic cup? Wouldn’t you simply go into your doctor’s office and pay whatever it took to get the “Cromartie Special?”
Maybe he should hold off on that vasectomy after all.

The minute Canadians find out about Ignatieff's plan for a fall election, Liberal numbers will tumble!
6:22 PM
zimbio
"Michael Ignatieff’s Liberals are ready to take on Stephen Harper in a federal campaign as internal polling shows them up three percentage points from the last election and just six points behind the governing Conservatives. The new data was presented to the Liberal caucus Tuesday afternoon by Michael Marzolini. The party pollster did not discuss election timing. Rather, he indicated that during the next election –_ whenever it comes – the Liberals will be competitive with the Tories."

Liberal Lemmings 2.0 - Iggy Not Afraid Of An Election!

Something happens to Mr. Ignatieff each year as summer ends. It is a bravado driven insanity that speaks to the core thinking of the Liberal Party and its misguided sense of entitlement to govern. Go Iggy Go!

Reasons Why The Liberal Party Of Canada Has Instructed Its Bloggers To Go Hard Against Layton - Liberal Lemmings 2.0
12:11 PM
zimbio
The long suffering Liberal Party of Canada continues to stagnate in the polls. Many Liberal activists are starting to come around to the fact that their perceived 'entitlement' to govern is not going to be embraced by Canadians again any time soon. Michael Ignatieff has done very little to endear himself to the nation and Liberal fortunes are stuck in the current quagmire of Canadian politics.
The Conservatives are stuck in the same quagmire and there is very little room to grow for both of these Right leaning political parties. The Bloc remains fixed in their Quebec stronghold and the NDP is challenged to find room to grow as well.
Welcome to Canadian politics - 2010. Like it or not, it is the will of the people that no one party is being given the blessing to form a majority government. Harper will not win a majority in the next campaign and neither will the Liberals.
Idiotically, the boo-bah's who run Liberal Inc. have decided that it is wise at this time to make another foray into New Democrat territory. Hence we see a fairly convoluted attempt to pin the possible demise of the gun registry onto Jack Layton.
Liberal strategists desperately hope to accomplish two goals with this. First is to leave the impression that Iggy is a strong leader, ready willing and able to whip his 8 MP's who previously voted to kill the Registry. Because it has never been the policy of the NDP to whip their Caucus on private member's bills, the Libs are trying to leave the impression that Layton is not as strong a leader as Iggy. So, with Layton consistently getting favorable ratings in the polls, the Lib brain trust feels that they must do something to pull him down and boost the Igster up.
The second goal of the current Liberal strategy is to try and win back some of the urban support that has leaked away to Layton since 2006. Rather than attack Harper (whom they fear), Liberals have decided to try and pound on the NDP. It is humorous to watch and will bear few, if any electoral results.
In fact, Liberal anxiety to climb back into the government benches may even see Iggy force an election this fall. Any move to do so will be as disastrous as last fall's attempt.
The Liberal Party of Canada may be preparing to launch 'Liberal Lemmings version 2.0 in the not too distant future! Stay tuned!
UPDATE!!
Mere minutes after publishing this post, the Globe & Mail put out a news item where Iggy welcomes a Federal Election this fall!!! .... told 'ya!!

And Now, Let's Get Awkward With 'Around The Horn' Talking About Jay Mariotti's Arrest
2:09 PM
zimbio
Actually, they didn't talk about Jay Mariotti's arrest or its consequences, but rather the media hoopla surrounding it. The transcript can be found here. My opinion is probably mostly in line with Richard Deitsch, who commends ATH for tackling the issue, but, next to ignoring it altogether, definitely did so in the safest way possible.
Shoddy video of the segment below:
Here's the part that I don't get about the Glenn Beck / Sarah Palin desire to return to a 'time' in American history that was more honourable.
11:12 AM
zimbio
Here's the part that I don't get about the Glenn Beck / Sarah Palin desire to return to a 'time' in American history that was 'more' honourable.
Are they talking about the time ..... :
-when Americans moved west massacring the Native Aboriginal people in the late 1700's and early to mid 1800's?
-when Black persons were held and sold as property (including slave owners such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson)?
-when the USA split into two warring nations (Confederate States and United States) and hundreds of thousands were killed in the bloody Civil War?
-when the USA contrived a phony crisis in order to seize Spanish holdings in the Western Hemisphere such as Puerto Rico?
-when the USA sat out most of World War One as the British and Canadians fought German and Austro-Hungarian imperialism?
-when the USA allowed child labour?
-when unfettered 'free markets' and corporate greed resulted in the Stock Market crash and global Great Depression?
-when the USA sat out much of World War 2 while Britain and Canada alone battled Nazi Germany?
-when the USA continued its apartheid policies of 'separate but equal' and official segregation well into the 1960's?
-when the USA entered into a disastrous war in southeast Asia that saw hundreds of thousands of innocent Vietnamese and Cambodian citizens killed not to mention all of the young Americans who died?
-when college kids such as those at Kent State were gunned down for daring to demand 'PEACE'!
-when political assassination became the American norm resulting in the killing of John F. Kennedy - Robert Kennedy - Martin Luther King?
-when the USA armed the Afghanistan Islamic militants against the Russians with weapons that are now being used to kill American, Canadian and British troops?
-when the USA fabricated claims of 'weapons of mass destruction' in order to have a reason to invade Iraq?
-when the single largest ongoing reason for personal bankruptcy continues to be inability to pay for medical bills?
I am simply curious. What is the 'more honourable' time in American history that Beck / Palin / and their mindless minions want to return to??? ... just asking!

FAKE MIRACLE: Flying Dome of Mosque in Nepal
5:32 PM
zimbio
Please read
whole article here which explain what happening in that fake miracle
FAKE MIRACLE :: Flying Dome of Mosque in Nepal !
Assalam Alaykum,
Praise be to Allah swt,
Today i'm going to discuss about this claimed miracle associated to Allah SWT.
Thanks to Allah Swt for helping me,indeed all praise be to Allah,without his help,i was not able to do any thing.
Through the Internet we often receive an email that talks about 'evidence of Allah's greatness or miracle of Islam' or 'miracles of Allah' without any proof, Usually, the news are in the form of a surprising: the form of images or natural events that are 'strange' or unusual that muslims believe on it…
but before we trust on such pictures or contents …i want to ask you
1. Have we ever inquired or questioned the authenticity of such images when you recieve in email,or see in facebook pages/ gallery?What ever im going to say here is result of my research done for the claimed Miracle know as Dome Flying Mosque in Nepal.
2. Honestly, do we need to proof the truth of Islam or the greatness of Allah this way?
MIRACLE
These days on internet there is a very popular video,saying Allah help in Mosque in nepal or Flying dome of Mosque in Nepal some saying in Indonecia.
THE VIDEO :
THE BIG QUESTION IS , IS IT REALLY MIRACLE OF ALLAH SWT ????? OR JUST LIE….?????? Lets Analyse the Video.
{My First View and Reason to do this}
I saw this video approx 1 yr before,but i ignored it…becoz it was not very popular,but today im exposing this becoz now this lie is spreading like a fire,among muslims,from desktop to mobile.Every where.There are many Brother and Sisters who believes on this video.and they are busy in sharing with others, without thinking twice What if this is FAKE?
They forgot that its unauthorized content,having no proof,
before sharing you must verify the info,if you are not doing,you will be held responsible in the court of Allah SWT for whatever you have said or done.
Unfortunately, many brother and sisters DO not care for this ,in order to save my brother and sisters from gaining bad deeds i'm exposing the facts of this claimed miracle! Since there is hadith which says
What ever i wish for my self,i must wish same for other brother and sisters,
I wish Jannah for my self,and want the same for others too…
My Belief on Miracles :
Please note that im fully aware of greatness of Allah Swt,i'm not here to challenge the power of ALLAH SWT .I also know that when ever Allah swt want to do any thing,
He the most High just have to say "be" and It is….
The Originator of the heavens and the earth, Allah Almighty, When He decreeth a thing, He says unto it only: Be! and it is. Surah Al-baqarah : 117There are many miracles,which generally peoples IGNORE.
Is not DNA a Miracle ?
Are the Sun and Moon not Miracles ?
Is not growth of Plant is Miracle..?
Is not DEATH is Miracle ?
IS not Firaun Dead Body is a Miracle ?
IS not Quran a Miracle ?
I truly and 100% beliefs in the Miracles of Allah SWT and His Greatness.
but i can't accept fake ,un authorised contents as his miracles .
here my motive is to bring truth in front of you and stop brothers and sisters for spreading wrong informations by which they are gaining sins with/without knowledge.
{ Different stories with this Video }
story 1
There was a new mosque or masjid in Malibu Island that was still under construction however had no crane to lift and transfer the dome from the old masjid to the new masjid.
So about 3000 alims gathered nearthe masjid to do zikirullah.
With ALLAH's help, the dome was lifted and trasferred by just their zikir.
It was also told that these alims had did fasting for 3 days and did qiyammulai for 3 nights prior to the dome lifting.
story 2
Incident took place in nepal where the local people were building a masjid. They were worried about the dome to be placed over the minaret as they dint had any crane facility so they decided to call for allah's help as they started to make dua and ask for help from allah the dome was placed on the minaret in a miraculous way. subhan allah
story 3
ALLAHU AKBAR! Yes it's miracle of "ALLAH". Happend in Nepal. Govt didnt allowed the crane for Mosque minar and said that `go and ask your ALLAH to help you. Allah helps muslim by putting gunbad on menar without any support, since, non muslims dont allow muslims to use crane to lift gunbad, so the imam of mosque saw our beloved prophet pbuh in dream who told him just cover the gunbad with white bed sheet and then see.
story 4
It was in Ternate, Indonesia, and the dome was about to be placed on top of a mosquetower, suddenly it flew by itself and landed on top of the tower where it supposed to be placed. Subhanallah..
story 5
he attached video clip was received from a friend of mine. This incident happened early this year (2008) in a remote Island of Malibu (Indonesia). Anew mosque was built in a village on that island of Malibu. Unfortunately the villagers do not have a Heavy Duty Crane to uplift the Dome from the old mosque to the newly built Mosque's Minaret.
About 3000 Imaams gathered in the mosque to perform Dhikirullah. With Allah's Rahmah, the Dome from the old mosque was lifted up to the new mosque's Minaret with the power of Dhikirullah.
According to the person who recorded this clip, all the Imaams have fasted for 3 days and did Qiamullayl and have pleaded for Allah s.w.t Mercy for this 3 days prior to performing the Dhikirullah and lifting the Dome.
It was reported that many of the people there became hysteria upon seeing this incident.
This event proves us the strength of one's Imaan, Dhikirullah and Taqwa. May Allah s.w.t strengthens our Imaan and be good Muslims. Ameen………!!!!!

YES,THIS VIDEO IS NOT MIRACLE,FAKE CLAIMED MIRACLE…ASSOCIATED TO ALLAH SWT.
{the mosque place}
If you see a glimpse of flight recordings dome mosque in Kailolo village in Central Maluku, 25 km from Ambon, was enough to make us wonder. Because the dome is supposedly preached that weighs thousands of pounds, can fly without the aid of floating devices floating around in space .The News agency part from video proofs that its from Indonesia..not NEPAL. NEPAL PART IS LIE.
{the real story}
The dome is said to be floating, while it is lifted using the cable, pull cable to raise the dome of the mosque used since time immemorial without using a crane with a system of Pulleys.The dome is moving to top like cable car movement.
{Why you can't see cable}
The Camera used for this capture was bad camera,not good resolution…this much bad that it cant show the wires on Electric pole.. see here
{How to Determine Cable?}
use math, angle, view angle every time the dome of the wind and you will be able to axis. If you see the panorama shows a white line along the lines indicated.there is a subtle white wire with the clouds, so in our eyes, the wire is not visible becoz background is also white.
In areas that have been illuminated by it, there were three stretch of the rope that supported the dome.
In areas that have been illuminated by it, there were three stretch of the rope that supported the dome.
Here, more clearly visible. Second stretch of rope seen against the background of a contrasting tile house.
{Now watch the Cable on TOP}
The cable is not clearly visible due to white background.but still some traces are there!

In this Entire Process there are 3 Wires supporting this DOME MOVEMENT…:) look above pic…!
If not,then what is the use of there ropes/wires…? Indeed to pull the wire so that the dome go on top.
Conclusion :
In conclusion, the dome is not flying, but being pulled by a rope. Only the perception of society that makes the dome fly.The Above Analysis proves that this all is done with the machines,using 3 wires to pull dome above which can be seen on the back of minarates.
If You think this analysis is wrong,please come forward with the proofs…
This Video is showing the movement of Dome,its being done by wires,the wires are not clearly visible due to bad camera and white back ground,in some parts the traces of wires are visible,which is shown in above pictures…
as you can see the wires which is very close to phone,is not visible in video.
This video is also not taken by the Trans 7 news Agency,becoz News Reporters can;t have such bad quality camera.
The Channel Trans 7 first time Aired this video,without any proof.
If the Incident is true,then why this news was not reported by Any other news agency,or in local newspapers ?

The Revival of Awful Announcing
12:31 PM
zimbio
A little over four years ago, Brian Powell started Awful Announcing because NBA broadcaster Hubie Brown somehow let "wideopenshotability" escape from his mouth on-air. It wasn't just another spontaneous sports blog destined to fail, though. Powell had a vision for the site and built it up into one of the most well-known sports blogs on the 'net, focusing on everything broadcasting from potential sharts to random hair product placements. Unfortunately, new responsibilities prevented Powell from posting as much and, ultimately, pretty much at all (the last post prior to today was April 20, but a source close to the situation has said that he still wants to post here occasionally).
Bloguin stepped up to the plate, offering to resurrect AA and put the revered sports blog back on top where it belongs. In an increasingly competitive blogsphere, it will be a tall task, but I think we've assembled a strong enough group of writers to make it happen. We all plan to work hard to maintain the roots of the original AA site, including announcing assignments, quotables, videos, live blogs and analysis, amongst other goodies, but we'll also be splashing in our own flavor to spruce things up a bit.
We understand that the sports blog you once knew and loved is now a little different, a little weird and run by virtual strangers, but don't let your inner neophobe rule you. We ask that you let this marinate a little bit. And once you dig in, I promise that you'll want to come back for more. If not, well, then I hope you get stuck in an elevator that plays Miley Cyrus on repeat for hours.

[Black Star News Editorial]
47 Years From I Have A Dream to I Have A Nightmare...
"If African American voters were looking for a spark to rally voters to do the right thing in the November elections, it was provided today.
Joined by his Tea Party and Republican Party supporters, Glenn Beck today dishonored the memory and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by holding a rally of tens of thousands at the site where Dr. King made his famous "I Have A Dream," speech.
He also made sure his event, which he promoted on his hate-broadcast shows on FOX and his radio shows, was on the same day that Rev. Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network, was hosting an authentic memorial rally and march for Dr. King.
"It was not my intention to select 8-28 because of the Martin Luther King tie," Beck, the Grand Wizard of hate, told his listeners on radio weeks ago. "It is the day he made that speech. I had no idea until I announced it."
Precisely. Beck is a huge loser if he knew and decided to deliberately spite Dr. King's memory, which is something not beyond him, since he routinely plays the race card, living well by fueling White anger over perceived gains by Blacks, at their expense.
This is a man who said President Obama is a racist who "hates Whites" and also hates "White culture."
Beck is even a bigger loser when he claims he selected the date for his event randomly and that he did not know it was the anniversary of one of the greatest speeches by one of the greatest human being to have lived. Certainly, he did not care. He knew of the King anniversary by June, 2010--he had ample time to select another date.
An African American Republican named Lenny McAllister, refused to speak at the event when asked by the Tea Party, CNN reports.
"I cannot sit on stage and co-sign on this irresponsibility," he told CNN. "I made sure I wore my elephant pin today. I am a proud Republican but I am also a proud African American man."
"Whites don't own Abraham Lincoln," Beck also said, adding fuel to his verbal arson. "Blacks don't own Martin Luther King. Those are American icons, American ideas, and we should just talk about character, and that's really what this event is about. It's about honoring character."
Honoring character? Can a Mafia chief hold a rally to honor the legacy and memory of crime fighting police officers? How absurd.
Beck makes tens of millions of dollars spreading racist verbal arson throughout the country.
At a time when the country is undergoing profound changes --politically, economically, and technology-wise-- many older Whites are susceptible to the message of entitlement spread by false messengers like Glenn Beck.
Under Beck's vision --which he shares with another lethal broadcast terrorist, Rush Limbaugh, who likes calling the president Barack Hussein bin Obama-- Black gains in this country comes at the price of losses by White people.
And as millions of Americans remain unemployed, Beck's and Limbaugh's messages have resonance.
Millions of American jobs have migrated overseas, including to China. Why doesn't Beck foment anti-Chinese sentiments on his shows?
Because it does not carry the same burden and history, as race relations between Blacks --descendants of plantation slavery-- and Whites --descendants of slave masters-- in this country.
So by making allusions to "tradition" and "American values," one can see why thousands of disenchanted Whites are lured by the messages of Beck and Limbaugh. They offer the promise of yesterday, even as the nation moves forward.
Sarah Palin, who has been desperately schooling herself over the past two years on things she should have learned over the last few decades, was also at today's rally.
"We feel the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." she cynically said. "We are so honored to stand here today," Palin added.
Dr. King must have winced.
"Look forward. Look West. Look to the heavens. Look to God and make your choice," Glenn Beck, the convener also said.
It would have been an honor to Dr. King if the heavens had responded with lightning and a downpour?
"Speaking Truth To Empower."

The Re-Education of Saskatchewan's Premier Brad Wall
9:19 AM
zimbio
After listening to the 'unfettered free market' speeches of Brad Wall, year after year, it is worth noting that something very different is coming from him now. Merciless attacks on the New Democratic governments of Romanow and Calvert as well as individual New Dems were his trade mark. 'Get out of the way of business' was Brad's refrain. 'Let the market decide' was his key principle. But something has happened to Saskatchewan's Right Wing Premier lately ......
Wall Is Willing To Intervene To Protect 'People's Potash' !!!
By Murray Mandryk
The Leader-Post
August 28, 201
"In describing the potential impact of a BHP Billiton takeover of PotashCorp, Premier Brad Wall is now using words like "transformational."
"Trust me. There isn't a more important issue facing the province of Saskatchewan today," Wall told reporters Thursday.
For the Saskatchewan Party supporters who whole-heartedly believe in the greater glory of unfettered capitalism in the so-called "New Saskatchewan", Wall's talk of intervening in the free market with "conditions on licences" and perhaps even production levels and royalties must come as a big shock.
But ask Wall what's behind his words and you'll find that they've come from conversations with past political veterans of the resource wars from all sides of the political spectrum. And for a Sask. Party government seen by many as a bit too accommodating to big business at the expense of the people's best interests, this would seem transformational as well.
For the first two years of its three-year existence, Wall's government ran hard on the notion of a "New Saskatchewan" that would no longer be held back by a stodgy 16-year-old social democrat government with its anti-business sentiments.
With the Sask. Party's arrival in 2007 neatly coinciding with perhaps the biggest resource boom in the province's history -- the 2004 to 2008 record revenues in oil, gas and potash revenues that translated into record surplus budgets -- this initially proved to be a pretty easy sell. To further solidify the notion, the new Sask. Party repealed Allan Blakeney's "Potash Production Act" that created the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Crown in the 1970s and introduced legislation to make unionization of workplaces more difficult. Add to this the messaging from Energy Minister Bill Boyd that his government wouldn't touch oil royalty rates (even when it was selling at $150 a barrel), and the potash companies should get most anything they want to encourage mine expansion.
The emerging "new Saskatchewan" was starting to sound strikingly similar to former premier Grant Devine's "Open for Business" era . . . or at least, that seemed to be the case until the recent rather transformative developments in the potash industry.
First came the 2009 potash sales crash that sent the loud message that all the catering in the world to this industry -- including generous royalty holidays for new and old mine development, corporate office jobs, miner employment, etc. -- doesn't always result in the delivery of the economic reward promised.
And now comes this summer's $38.6-billion takeover bid of PotashCorp by the Australian-based mining giant BHP, creating newfound worries in government ranks that new corporate ownership will overproduce to drive down potash prices and undercut competitors -- a move that would reduce Saskatchewan's potash royalties.
But as much as it appears that Wall's interventionist talk contradicts his government's free-enterprise mantra for the "new Saskatchewan", the premier contends his approach is consistent with both past practice and his government's vision of the new Saskatchewan.
"The new Saskatchewan is keenly aware of the resources we have," Wall said in an interview Friday, further noting potash's "strategic importance as a provincial resource that the rest of the world wants."
Wall said his new approach came after recent conversations with former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed (who led the 1970s fight over provincial control of resources), Devine and even former NDP premier Roy Romanow. While reluctant to divulge specifics of the conversations with the former premiers, Wall noted that "pragmatism is the branch between all ideologies" and that all three have very similar views on the most pertinent issues. That view, Wall said, was best summed up by Lougheed who told him: "The resource belongs to the people," and; "There's absolutely nothing wrong with any government of any stripe putting conditions on the development of its resources."
Asked if this means he is willing to risk BHP Billiton pulling out of the province altogether, Wall reiterated that it's the people's resource and Saskatchewan potash will be there long after any mining company.
Some might see this change in the Wall government as rather transformational. Or, it might be an admission that the new Saskatchewan isn't so different from the old Saskatchewan, as some have suggested.
