Time for some sex

By Avedon from the Sideshow

Testosterone alert - He can say what he likes, but Joe Scarborough walked off the set for one reason only: because Rachel Maddow, a mere female, did not let him walk all over her verbally. He expected her to defer to him so strongly that he just couldn't cope when she responded as an equal who had just as much right to talk as he did.

John Aravosis has some excellent questions that George Stephanopoulis can ask McCain when he's on his show this Sunday. (But John, honey, about the age thing: My father would still make a better president than McShame, and he's dead.)

Since people are being either worried or gleeful that Obama may have given Hillary the finger, you probably want to watch the full clip to judge for yourself. (Thanks to CMike for the Yglesias link.)

Will McCain distance himself from the Log Cabin Republicans? Obviously, some people want him to, but he seems reluctant to do so - so far. (And Amanda reminds you why a certain art project is obviously not the real thing.)

Oh, sorry, did you think I meant something else by "sex"?

Audit finds sex offenders at California child care facilities

Audit finds sex offenders at California child care facilities

Los Angeles County officials said Thursday that they would begin their own checks of child-care facilities and foster homes after a state audit found 49 instances in which convicted sex offenders appeared to have lived at the same address as such facilities.

The audit found that although child-care operators and employees must submit to criminal background checks, no such requirement currently applies to people who live in the same house or apartment where the facilities are located.

Auditors cross-referenced the addresses of 8,000 sex offenders on parole from the California Department of Justice against 75,000 locations of licensed foster- and child-care facilities. At least 30 matches were made in Southern California: 25 in Los Angeles, four in San Diego County, and one in San Bernardino County.

There is no evidence so far that the offenders harmed children at the facilities.

...

Did you know that teachers

Did you know that teachers and other employees at private schools are not required to undergo a background check to see if they are sex offenders, like teachers and employees at public schools are?
Some private schools do it, some don't. How many private school scandals are swept under the rug by the churches running the schools?

Yup

and the wingnuts want to replace public schools with private ones. go figure.

what about

khalidi?

...

What about sasquatch?

...diversions are FUN!

How about that guy that

How about that guy that drove his car into a power pole last week?

Barack Obama is right.

Barack Obama is right. Politics as usual dragged us into this mess. Let's not perpetuate it.

You're right this 'mess' is the mess that should have been discovered last year, early in the game. But, it is Obama's mess and it isn't over yet.

All that dirt from Hillary just won't stick.
That Teflon coating is a bitch, isn't it?

The media being distracted by sex is not reserved exclusively...

for the US, it happens in other countries as well. Here is the latest story coming from Germany:

Just imagine what would have happened to Chancellor Merkel, if she had worn this dress at the G8 summit last year. I don't think the media would have been talking about Bush giving back-rubs.

Well, it isn't a business suit...

You don't wear a tux to the G8 Summit, either!

But for the opera, that dress looked okay to me.

For women of a certain age, keeping the chest uncovered can reduce hot flashes and such, so you might begin to notice that as the women around you age, they find more ways to keep clothing on that area light, while bringing layers - shawls, scraves, etc. - to cover up when they get chilly.

More liberal media at The Sideshow.

The critical part of my comment was aimed at the German media for raising a fuss about the Chancellor's attire at the opera. It looked okay to me as well.

The G8 part, was meant as a joke regarding Bush's lack of self-control. I know she wouldn't wear that dress to the summit, nothing would get done, and she would always have to tell the man she was talking to: "Hey, I'm up here..." The latter part was another joke, sort of.

Did you see those poor kids in Texas?

Some of the kids found in that polygamist sect are pregnant.

They should be given free abortions.

Obama may have given Hillary the finger?

Nah, he wouldn't dare.

Now he may have been giving his finger to the audience.

Hillary Clinton - Get Out Of The Kitchen Barack Obama

Barack wasn't giving Hillary the finger, he was just
brushing that dirt off his shoulders
.

Looks like he's doing well dodging the kitchen sink.

care to make a prediction

what % victory in Pa equals Hillary momentum?

By gt6 April 20, 2008 - 9:01am

It's so obvious its over. Its been obvious for a long time.

But the Clinton group has been ugly since the start of this. I figure let them enjoy it while it lasts.

There really is no point in trying to convince them. They'll learn soon enough.

It's like telling a blind person driving a car that they are going to hit a wall and they keep responding "no I'm not".

I didn't really expect a reply here

I mean, it's a no-win situation. If he comes back with any number she's likely to hit, say 3%, then nobody's impressed and if he predicts anything higher and she doesn't hit it, he has to admit it's over. His head would explode like Hatey's admitting Bush lied. Meanwhile to have any real chance of securing the nomination she needs 20%+
