I Support Rep Weiner

I support Rep Weiner even if this turns out to be true. it was supposed to be private, so who cares and carry on. Even though he’s my favorite congressman* and I hope he comes out of this okay, even I have to admit that this is amusing, though unfortunate, given his last name.

he’s my fave cuz I think he’s honest, he’s bold, actually explains what he believes and never shys away from opposition – always willing to take it to Fox or a right wing show that invites him on and battles it out like a champ. Stick it out and stay in office!

PS: yes, I admit that I am not going into detail and/or posting the pictures here because I like the dude. I’m biased, but I’m forthright about it…

Via ShortFormBlog:

Look, we don’t want the Weiner story to be true. But we’ve done enough tweeting in our day to know all the tricks for reading someone’s social media tracks. We spent a couple of hours digging through tweets to find out more info. And, to us, there seems to be some evidence pointing in both directions on this story. The key thing for us is the existence of the rogue tweet, which was captured by TweetCongress.org even after it was deleted. But there’s also stuff that makes us wonder. The patient zero — the first person to retweet Anthony Weiner’s NSFW tweet — was this guy, who we’ve found in our research to be overly fixated on the congressman even BEFORE the tweet in question. In fact, he posted about a cheating scandal just like this one over TWO WEEKS AGO. Really? How was he so quick to hit the trigger on this? Some other things we noticed from the scandal:

  • for On Twitter, Weiner noted the Seattle time of his Friday TV appearance. The recipient of the NSFW tweet, from Seattle, retweeted.
  • for The person at the center of the drama deleted her Twitter account — which was active as of yesterday — after the tweet.
  • for The girl in question said Weiner was her “boyfriend” in an April tweet. Yeah, so? Her and every other liberal teen female has!
  • against To disprove that the photo was of Weiner, Daily Kos has a testof the NSFW photo that suggested it was ‘shopped. Hm.

» The important things to take from this: We don’t think Weiner did anything wrong as of yet, but we do think that there is a lot to suggest one of two things: One, this was possibly a scandal planted by someone who had closely followed the congressman’s Twitter account (because, based on our research, people have), and there were somewhat bizarre things that may have connected Weiner to the girl. Given the track record of Big Journalism,where the story originated from, we’d like to see a better source tackle this thing, because we don’t trust Breitbart as far as we can throw him. We rate this an “inconclusive.”

-I don’t know what they’re talking about with Big Journalism’s track record and the author doesn’t elaborate. As far as I know, the site has a solid track record on facts (nothing has a solid record on opinion/commentary), but they may be referring to the Sherrod Brown thing, which was misreported by right wing outlets including Glenn Beck to claim Breitbart clipped a video out of context but the context was in fact present in the original post. Anyway: that part aside, I too am skeptical of this story, not because of inherit distrust of Breitbart but just cuz. Mostly cuz I want it to not be true. lulz. but whatever. Even if it is, I say if he doesn’t weasel out of it and just comes clean, he will get more support than before, including from some of his more fair minded critics. Maybe even Breitbart (who is being accused of making this whole thing up now). Actually, probably even Breitbart I’d bet. I’d put money on it that Breitbart would drop it and instead just note that no liberal would give a conservative the same free pass and move on.

UPDATE: I don’t know what any of this means but if it’s correct info then it is evidence in the direction of Weiners innocence.

UPDATE: oh wow… Breitbart issues challenge directly to Weiner and basically says exactly what I described his possible reaction being (though he might not be serious about it):

Did you know the US won Vietnam before we lost it?

I first heard that we won Vietnam on the ground but lost it in our government at home, years ago, but I never investigated and never fully believed it since it went against so much I thought I knew was just common knowledge about it. Watching this video is depressing. Usually I love finding out something I previously thought was wrong, because it’s a small accomplishment that shows progress (I heart accuracy). This, however, is not happy news. America had this conflict mure more in line than I thought I knew, and congress fucked it up to their forever shame.

More than a million South Vietnamese killed – not because we entered the war – but because of the way we left it. Horrific and inexcusable. And every movie I’ve ever seen a Vietnam scene in or a Vietnam veteran in makes it look like a drug filled slow conveyor belt to death for no reason.

Men like women who use “guy humor”

Time covers this story, saying “What do guys want? Themselves, apparently.”

Um. “Apparently”? Try “obviously”, ya big dopes. Me with boobs = perf. But Time goes on:

Or at least someone who has an identical sense of humor. According to a study of 331,138 eHarmony male users, the style of humor that men most appreciate from a woman is “sarcastic,” followed by “juvenile”, “geeky” or “raw.” (eHarmony defines those last three as “guy humor.”) While all of these terms are frustratingly vague, we can’t help but feel that they are describing our little brother. And somehow that’s sexy?


Here is the eHarmony info:

Oklahoma Governor has Oklahoma Shaped Pool

Most people have swimming pools shaped like Kansas and a select few mansions will have a nice infinity or swim-up-bar outfitted pool in the shape of California, but the Governor of Oklahoma as an Oklahoma shaped one, and that’s pretty kickass.

Here’s a night picture taken on the ground and for the opposite angle: Google Earths view of this token exercise in awesomery and reveals that the pan handle appears to be either a long jacuzzi or an endless pool for doing laps without the “doing laps” part. It’s also strange that the driveway to the mansion doesn’t even seem to be gated. You just take a turn off the street and you’re IN. Oklahoma is awesome now.

Nigerian loves all 107 of his eager to please wives

I like this Islamic loophole on being promiscuous (if you’re a guy): just “marry” the girl in order to bang her. An Islamic faith healer in Nigeria has married 107 women.

He fell in love with his first wife because she was sincere and eager to please.

His second wife, a cousin, was irresistible because she did everything he wished and nothing he didn’t.”That alone made me love her.”

His third wife won him because she submitted to his every request.

“I saw her, I liked her. I went to her parents and asked for her hand in marriage.”

Wife No. 4 was very obedient. So was wife No. 5. Wife No. 6, the same. As were wives 7 and 8 and 9 and …

Well, by then — it was the late 1980s — things had taken off for Bello Maasaba, an Islamic faith healer in this city in Niger state. He went from a wedding every few months to one every few weeks.

All told, the 87-year-old has married 107 women, which, even in a society with a tradition of polygamy, is on the high side. The Nigerian government is not amused. Neither are Islamic authorities in the state.

Some hotels check if you’re watching porn before sending maid to your room

It’s been a month full of sex with maids in the news. First we find out that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s maid was evidently Mrs Garrett and that he had a lovechild with her, then some French guy who was about to be the next President of Cheese was caught in an attempted rape of a maid (causing the American tax payer to reward him), and so now the Associated Press has jumped on board and done a cover story the way you’ll see the History Channel do a miniseries on a subject that happens to be in a major movie that’s in theaters at that time.

Reading this AP Story about the horror stories some Hotel maids have experienced in their profession and this interesting tidbit drug itself across my eyeballs:

Some hotels will send only male employees to a room late at night if their computers show a guest is watching porn, said Carl Boger, dean of academics at the University of Houston’s college of hotel management.

They can also monitor who opens a door and when by looking at the electronic lock system, he said.

In the New York case, those records should help investigators determine the timeline of the alleged attack and if the housekeeper had propped the door open, he said.
The open-door policy is a security procedure that’s been in place at the Sofitel before Strauss-Kahn was charged in the alleged May 14 attack. Sofitel officials say they’re not aware of any other incident of a sexual attack on a maid at any of their worldwide hotels.

My apartment in Hawaii uses the card key tracker system so I knew they could check dates, times and which card owner opened the door but the “check first to see if they’re watching porn” thing is interesting news.

There’s other stuff in the article about dudes jerking off while watching the maids clean or straight up offering them cash for sex – the best one was after a guy sympathetically asked about the maids home country and how many people she’s supporting with her American earned salary and THEN busted out the “I know a way you can make some money right now” proposish. Noice!

I realize that these dudes are just really horny and desperate but when one chick describes how she even wears extra layers of clothes to “hide her figure”, you still cant help but wonder wtf kind of bodies are these chicks rockin at these hotels?? Like I said – anyone who’s frequented hotels across the country knows the answer and knows it’s not THIS (pictured below) but the descriptions sure make it sound like it…

On a related note: while posting that picture above I also saw this one below…
Until now, you didn’t think of “sexy maids…in diapers”… was a thing… and now you do.

Rapture Countdown

It was supposed to be the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine.
and I’m also doing this, and encourage you to as well:

Exit note: Rapturing but be a lot of fun cuz I first heard it when the Scarecrow exclaimed “oh joy! Rapture! I’ve got a brain!” in the Wizard of Oz and subsequently in many Ren & Stimpy episodes. Makes me disappointed I didn’t get to experience it 🙁

In other News: Macho Man, the wrestler, passed away after suffering a heart attack while driving. Evidently it was the car crash that resulted which killed him and not the attack itself. Too bad, but we can at least be comforted by this thought:

Lithgow Reads Gingrich

Colbert Invites John Lithgow To Perform Dramatic Reading Of Surreal Gingrich Press Release:

and yes, that’s the actual text. The full press release reads:

The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding. Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world. The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness. They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment’s cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles. But surely they had killed him off. This is the way it always worked. A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won’t be intimated by the political elite and are ready to take on the challenges America faces.
