Because my mind is presently preoccupied with a family matter, my concentration is off, and I should probably stop blogging for a spell. I notice that I'm making more mistakes than usual. Even in the best of blogging times, I make not a few errors. I joke about my policy of "post first, edit afterward". When the editing comes in the title of the post or the first few lines, that makes trouble on the feeds that have already gone out. I get queries about the changes. "What happened?"
Nevertheless, in my own intrepid and probably misguided way, I'll stumble along in my Inspector Clouseau's inner-female persona and attempt to carry on.
Meanwhile from TPM:
The attorney behind the first-ever Birther infomercial started teabagging way before it was cool.
Yes, indeedy. He started back in 1970s during the Ford administration. His name is - wait! - Gary Kreep. The infomercial says that anyone who sends just $30 will receive a "got a birth certificate?" sticker and have "a fax sent in their name to the 50 state attorneys general and Attorney General Eric Holder demanding that President Obama produce his real birth certificate." You can watch part of the infomercial at the link above.
It gets better.
The program was produced by LivePrayer.com, a Web site affiliated with Bill Keller, a fundamentalist Christian minister who also hosts the infomercial.
Imprisoned in the late 1980s after an insider trading conviction, Keller later committed his life to God, attended Liberty University in Virginia, and founded Bill Keller Ministries, according to his bio. LivePrayer.com was "founded for the sole purpose of having a site on the internet where people can go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for prayer."
Also from TPM comes really good news. Sarah Palin's book will be out on November 17. I know that you've been waiting with bated breaths. Her book will be titled Going Rogue. That is just so Sarah, don't you think?
Hope your niece is recovering well. She has been in my thoughts the past day.
ReplyDeleteMs. Palin notwithstanding, my breathing continues unabated.
ReplyDeleteSo there!
Lapin, that's one of the mistakes to which I refer. Her surgery is not until tomorrow. God assured me that any prayers prayed for Monday will still count on Wednesday.
ReplyDeletePaul (A.), you're a straight man, and I'm told that Sarah is drop-dead gorgeous, (I wouldn't know about that myself) so I surely thought you'd be amongst the breathless.
I am reliably informed that some of Mimi's closest friends are straight men. I call Grandpere to witness. I don't think she discriminates.
ReplyDeleteI love men, straight or gay, however I often find gay men are más simpatico. In that sense, you might call me what? What would be the word to describe that prejudice? Except, of course, for the exceptions amongst straight men like Paul (A.) and JimB, and, I hasten to add, Grandpère.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I'm always amazed when fundamentalist ministers have been convicted of crimes and then they just move on to some new way to get money out of people.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your niece continue.
Amelia, that is a brilliant insight.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prayers.
You cannot make this up ;=)
ReplyDeleteAnd Prayers for de niece!
