Due to other duties that have kept me away, I haven't been here much lately and have only been commenting on stuff rather sporadically, so I don't know if this video has made the rounds here yet. It's in excess of 8 minutes but you won't need to watch but a few seconds to be utterly revolted by what you see. With that warning, here it is:

As hateful and disturbing as the words this misguided child is saying are, it's not the message that I'm writing about here today. Nor is it an examination of the christofascists putting their children up to this know full well that no one's going to call the little kid on his BS or, better still, they'll be able to get footage of an adult berating the kid to show how evil progressives are.

No, I'm interested in how much the kid knows and where he's learning it. Follow me below the squiggle for a little discussion.

Not a major diary here but that is the question that came to mind when I viewed this clip on Huffington Post today

It doesn't make me terribly happy when someone at Moore's level is already declaring victory for Romney. However, it could just be Michael Moore's not-too-subtle way of telling us that we've got to hit the streets and get the message out.

What do you all think?

Hey Kossacks!

With all the crazy shit that's going on in the world who doesn't need a break?

Had it with Mitt Romney's dirty dealings with Bain Capitol?

Fed up with Grover Norquist and his anti-tax pledge?

Sarah Palin's latest web of lies got you down?

Well, then slip into a refreshing bed of relaxation with these two chilled out tunes from the LA-based outfit, Poolside. Grab a cold drink, sit back and let the lush down tempo sounds take you away into the land of calm.

I just saw this little bit of awfulness over on Towle Road today and thought I should share it with all you kossacks.

Apparently, for some, bigotry starts at a very young age as is evidenced by the video that I've posted below the Itzl.

Yes indeed, everyone's favorite press release reciter, the ever charming and cordial Megyn Kelly, has outdone herself in being able to offend.

In calling out senate candidate Elizabeth Warren over her (non)scandal about her native american roots, had this to say in her reporting:

Megyn Kelly: I've Been Drinking

"How."

That's what she said on national TV, "how."

I know few of the details of Elizabeth Warren's employment issues at Harvard University but if I were working at Fox News (full disclosure, I'm half Cayuga) I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have let this hideous display of racial ignorance pass without a visit to HR.

I'm afraid the ever affable Ms. Kelly has no idea that using stereotypes like "how" is at the same level as using the n-word when it comes to talking about African Americans.

It's racist, it's pejorative and it has absolutely no place in public discourse.

I knew Megyn Kelly was pretty much lacking in any kind of class but this really does sink her to a new level.

A couple of days ago, in one of Tricia Wyse's pootie diaries, i posted this comment about a new woozle baby I would be adopting.

I decided to name her Pygar because it's a character from "Barbarella," one of my favorite movies and she seems angelic enough to live up to the name of someone as pure as John Phillip Law's character in the movie:

She came home with me yesterday and, I must say, she's really impressed me with her behavior and intelligence. As soon as I brought her home she wasted no time in making herself right at home.

Short diary here but felt i needed to share.

I was never a fan of Miley Cyrus fan-at all. But I am won over by her passion and empathy that is demonstrated in her new "Liberty Walk" video.

See for yourselves:

Nice to see that sometimes obnoxious teen stars can grow up to be adults with consciences.

A few days ago, I was driving a friend and myself to see "Martha Marcy May Marlene" (it's a downer, btw) at a theatre in Pasadena. As we drove down Colorado Boulevard, the following song was blasting from my iPod:

I apologize for not being able to locate the entire song but I think from the little bit you hear, you can tell it's a song of a fairly Christian nature. Despite the fact that I'm a non-believer I enjoy listening to it and suggested to my friend that there were several reasons I could enjoy it despite being atheist:

a) because the music is damned good-upbeat house with a solid melody and
b) because, despite the religious nature of the song, it has an uplifting positive message that, regardless of my non-believer nature, makes me feel good to hear.

"doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, young old ANY color of the rainbow He will ALWAYS be there for you!"

My friend agreed and we had a little chat about how unfortunate it was for people to deny themselves the ability to appreciate different belief systems and other ways of viewing the world.

Now, you may ask where I'm going with this. Just what does this have to do with the gubernatorial election in Kentucky?

Well you can just follow me below the fold and I'll 'splain where I'm going.

Short diary here but I just wanted to let everybody know that if they want to help out Scott & his family with the (most likely large) medical bills associated with his being shot, Iraq veterans for Peace is accepting donations here:

Iraq Veterans Against the War

Make sure you type Scott Olsen's name in the "special project" field.

This will be a short diary but it needs to get out there. As we all know, Sleazy O'keefe spent a little time yesterday skulking around Liberty Park and leaving a trail of fetid ooze in his wake. What I haven't seen on this site yet is that there was video being made of his visit and he's now published it to youtube. I'm afraid that his take on it is not flattering.

In his video, O'Keefe completely sidesteps any of the political aspects of the protest and couches his whole premise on his theory that the OWS protesters are after one thing - lots and lots of money. That's it. Per O'Keefe's carefully edited video, he shows that the protesters are in it for the "Benjamins" and nothing else.

I urge all of you to go to O'Keefe's youtube page to give it your thumbs down-because, right now, it has a lot more likes than dislikes.

Watch it and throw up in your mouths a little:

Fellow Kossacks, the news I bring you, while bittersweet, is, overall, good.

About a week ago, qannabbos, one our members reported on the story of a little girl named Rachel who, upon learning that there are millions of people in the world who don't have access to clean water decided to do something about it and set up a donation site with Charity:Water to raise $300 to help out.

Unfortunately, Rachel was killed in a nasty car accident a couple of days before her birthday and was unable to see her birthday wish fulfillled.
