Is the democrat party Bankrolled by a Woman Beater? Emperor Palpatine Accused of Slapping Around and Trying to Choke Out His Young Girlfriend...

Just take a gander at that dirty old man. He's 80-year-old George Soros -- one of the world's richest men and a principal financier of the American democrat party and its various nefarious tenacles. He's recently been accused of profiting handsomely (and purposefully) from the U.S. credit downgrade, but it's alleged sliminess of a much different sort that also has him in the news late this week.

The grubby old codger's young girlfriend -- 52 years his junior -- has hit back at her decrepit Sugar Daddy by slapping his wrinkly old ass with a huge lawsuit that alleges that after she went to bed with him, Daddy slapped her around, clocked her one right in the kisser, tossed a lamp at her, and finally took his hands and tried to choke out the Brazilian soap opera star faster than Royce Gracie on a chicken. And all right there in the bed (allegedly)!

The 28-year-old actress, Adriana Ferreyr (pictured above and below with Soros), says the whole frightful incident went down when the old coot welched on a promise to give her a Manhattan apartment. (Doesn't this broken down old fossil realize that if you're going to go Sugar Daddy, you gots to buck up! There is no other possible reason why this young broad would be banging you, Gramps!)

Adriana says that following a breakup in their relationship, her ossified old benefactor was able to get her back in the sack for a "passionate night" of bone-crunching -- with the apartment promise still on the table. However, she says the antique old battle axe let it slip that night "with a whisper" that he'd instead promised to joint to another woman. Needless to say, Adriana "reacted badly to the news" and all hell broke loose from there.

After the archaic dutch oven got through using his young girlfriend as a UFC sparring partner (allegedly), Adriana says the old brute took to doing some further whispering -- i.e. sweet nothings in her ear promising another apartment to her. But alas, pappy wasn't happy with that arrangement either, she says, because he later took back that promise too -- just like a storyline from Adriana's soap opera, "Marisol."

The lawsuit filed by Adriana in a New York court this week seeks 50 million bucks from the decayed octogenarian. The only reason this grizzled geezer isn't facing any time in the hoosegow, apparently, is because Adriana refused to press criminal charges (although she did file a timely police report). And don't worry, leftist 20 percenters:

This antiquated old creep is still worth almost $15 billion. So even if this dame recovers the full amount of her lawsuit (which won't happen; these things always settle out), the democrat party's own Sugar Daddy will still have plenty left in the kitty to affect secretary of state, congressional and presidential races until the day that Darth Vader finally tosses his moth-eaten old hide down the Death Star reactor shaft.

"Thanks For the Downgrade, You Should All Be FIRED!" Yeah -- What She Said!...

That was the banner that was flown high atop the Big Apple this week and right over Manhattan. It was paid for by -- of all people -- a middle American in flyover territory. Imagine that.

She's single mother and investment banker Lucy Nobbe (pictured above) of St. Louis, Missouri. The banner of course is in reference to S&P's downgrade Friday of the federal government's Triple-A credit rating down to AA+. Video of the banner soaring over New York City has gone viral on the Net this week.

Nobbe says that "she was so angry about the way lawmakers argued and bickered over the debt ceiling, that she couldn't get it out of her head and then woke up on Sunday night with the idea." She says she "couldn't believe this [downgrade] happened," which she chalks up to members of congress from both parties "acting silly and being irresponsible."

Nobbe also says she "is not the type of person to actively protest or even wave banners, but thought it would be a good example for her daughters," aged 11 and 15. Said 11-year-old daughter Holly: "She definitely stands up, she is different than other moms."

Flying the banner over Metropolis reportedly set Nobbe back a cool 900 bucks, although she says the "flysign" company gave her a little break on the cost because they were impressed with the idea. She also says her idea to was to fly the banner over Washington DC, but it had to be switched to NYC since planes can't fly over the illustrious capitol city (for obvious reasons).

Doing a bit of looking around today, it appears that this story was largely being ignored by the leftist "mainstream" media and the right-winger conservative Net "media" alike (kudos to ABC News, CNN and a small handful of others for being exceptions). But that's not surprising:

Those entities only exist to drive you towards one of the two parties, not to rebel against both parties like I and others (and apparently Nobbe) do. The partisans and ideologues on both sides don't care for that sort of sentiment at all. They want you to join a side and turn over all free thought to group-think. Sorry, though. I've never have been much of a joiner (nor a brain-wash-ee).

And Nobbe's banner, BTW, is spot on, as discussed in this space previously: Both parties were warned by S&P what it would take to prevent a downgrade, and both parties ignored the warning. Both parties are therefore equally to blame for the downgrade. Pretty simple stuff. As is the fact that America could use a bona fide Independent candidate for president in 2012 like never before.

Bonnie and Clydes? "Bank-Robbing Stripper" Allegedly Leads Gang of Two Brothers on Violent Bank Job and Multi-State Crime Spree...

...although apparently she was fully clothed when she and her gang knocked over that bank (allegedly).

Her name is Lee Grace Dougherty, and cops in Georgia say that when the this stripper isn't showing off her unadorned assets at a Florida strip club named "Cheaters," she allegedly has a different kind of teaser in mind:

Cops she's now hooked up with her two brothers to wreak havoc across two southern states. Talk about a moll with some ball(s). Just listen to what this 29-year-old apparent Bonnie Parker wannabe has to say on her Flickr page:

"Act like I'm 17 most of the time. I love to farm and shoot guys and wreck cars. I'm a redneck and proud of it. I like milk and German engineering and causing mayhem with my siblings."

Mayhem indeed, and this is not a gang that I'd be too anxious to run across, even if sissie was buck naked at the time. Cops say the gang hit a bank in Valdosta, Georgia last week, with subtlety and discreteness not exactly being their calling card.

In short, no nice little notes or polite requests for "all your money" here. Instead, the gang allegedly "stormed" the joint with "guns a' blazing" -- making mincemeat of the bank's ceiling and escaping with a bag of loot.

It probably doesn't help that this alleged strippin' bandita has a couple of apparent badasses for younger brothers. The youngest one is 21-year-old Ryan, a registered sex offender. Cops say the gang had to hack off Ryan's ankle surveillance bracelet before embarking upon their crime spree.

The other brother (26 years old) gives Dylans everywhere a bad name, having been previously busted for totin' & tokin' el paca lolo. But Sister Sprigger ain't exactly Mother Theresa herself over there, having been charged (among other things) for DUI and a "hit-and-run crash and battery" earlier this year and prior.

No word whether the stemmin' algorithm Lee Grace was also behind the wheel when the gang allegedly led the cops on a high speed car chase the day of the bank caper. That little hot pursuit reportedly ended with one of the Dougherty brood shooting out the tires of the pursuing squad car.

The gang is now on the lam (in the past few days possibly spotted in Tennessee and Colorado), with Georgia cops spouting the obligatory "we're a' lookin' fer 'em and close to catchin' 'em." I wonder if the gang will be dumb enough to try heading back to their one known hideout -- an underground "bunker" and "lair" that neighbors describe as a "den of illegal activity" down south.

Now, if you happen to spot this threesome, cops say to consider them "armed and dangerous" with a suspected "arsenal of weapons" that includes an AK-47. And if you really want to be cute, try asking Lee Grace back to her bunker for a private lap dance, a little German engineering, and a happy ending.

I bet the ending will be anything other than satisfying, but at least you'll suffer a large degree of pain knowing that you courageously busted the balls of the Great Cowgirl Moll of the South (allegedly)!

[8/10 p.m. UPDATE: The "Dougherty Gang" has now been caught & arrested tonight in Colorado following (what else) a wild police chase and crash. No serious injuries. The accounts I've read said there have been "media comparisons" to Bonnie and Clyde. That's funny, because I didn't see any such comparisons until I made one in this post early today. Copy cats...]

Ex-Obama Economic Adviser Christina Romer: The United States "Is Pretty Darn Fucked!"

The exclamation point, BTW, comes from the news account (link at bottom) and wasn't added by me. Which begs the question: Was Romer's statement (from the Bill Maher HBO show following the S&P credit downgrade) made with a certain sense of glee, or was it just gallows humor? But even that's largely irrelevant.

Because regardless of the intent, Romer pretty much nails the truth in a single phrase. Damn pesky brevity. Incessantly the soul of wit, and all. Even more so when teetering on the edge of a cliff.

Another Sign of the Rotten Economic Times:Man Allegedly Tries to Knock Over a 7-Eleven with a Giant Tree Branch!

Have things in America really gotten so bad that common street hoods can't even afford a decent robbery weapon anymore? Seems that way, as cops in New York state say that a 31-year-old man there was forced to resort to cutting a big switch off a tree last week before he tried to pull a stick-up job at the local 7-Eleven (link to full story at bottom).

Maybe Michael Zimmerman's (pictured above) credit has also been recently downgraded, since he was allegedly so down on his luck that the best weapon he could muster up for a convenience store owl job was the aforementioned tree appendage. And he allegedly needed it too:

Cops say Zimmerman hit the joint just before midnight -- armed only with a "large tree branch" -- and demanded money from the clerk. When the clerk played hero and refused the request, Zimmerman allegedly took to beating the clerk about the head, neck and breast with his giant piece of wood!

After the alleged big-branch beat-down, cops say Zimmerman tried to blow the scene on a getaway motorcycle. Only problem, apparently: Being armed with nothing other than a big tree arm doesn't exactly strike a ton of fear in the hearts of Joe and Jane Passing Good Samaritan:

Cops say that as Zimmerman tried to scurry away, a small band of store customers (plus the clerk) gave chase. Then an off-duty cop reportedly entered the fray and managed to block and hold Zimmerman until other cops could arrive.

Now Zimmerman may have to break his next bough in the Black Hole, since he faces a charge of attempted first degree robbery. And the lumber work ain't nearly so lucrative down in the ol' calaboose, where I hear the going rate in the wood shop is running around 50 cents a day.

Unholy Hoosegow: "Sheriff's Deputy Turned Jail Into Female Orgy and Operated Party-Like Atmosphere"!

Barney Fife, he wasn't (allegedly). And he's created quite the Stir down Broward County, Florida way. Cops there say male deputy Mason Chibnick turned the local jail and its female inmates into his own little Ice House of Pleasure. In case you ever wondered why they call correctional officers "screws":

Chibnick stands accused of transforming the joint into a huge "orgy," complete with bachelor party-style topless dancing acts and inmates "performing sexual acts on each other." He's also accused of at least once ducking into a broom closet for a little hanky hoosegow with one of these bonded broads. I guess they don't call it the "Pokey" for nothin'.

The "wild, party-like atmosphere" also allegedly involved games of inmate Truth or Dare and secret sexting and donging between Chibnick and his lockup ladies. But these dames' party in the can didn't end when their bits expired. Nope, Chibnick was reportedly just getting warmed up when some of these ladies were released.

Cops say Chibnick scoured Facebook for his former female inmates, apparently looking for a re-up on their previously caged affections. He even allegedly went full-length Anthony's Weiner, sending a picture of his human billy club "beside a toothbrush" to a cousin of a former inmate.

I can only guess the toothbrush was to provide scale to the pic; either that, or he just wanted to demonstrate that he practices good oral hygiene even when he's behaving like a gorilla (allegedly).

Regardless, it looks like Chibnick will now have to schedule any future orgies with the Aryans and their competitor gangs, since his ass has been shipped a Final Mile down the road to an all-male slammer. An extended vacation would have seemed more appropriate.

But the ol' county has let him know, in no uncertain terms, that they are very, very, very disappointed in him -- citing him for "failure to use good judgment" and "conduct unbecoming a deputy." I mean, what would he have been cited for if he had knocked up one of these babes? "Conduct really, really unbecoming a deputy"?

THE SHOT HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD:S&P Downgrades U.S. Triple-A Credit Rating. Blame BOTH Parties Equally...

Friday night's downgrade means higher interest rates, international embarrassment and diminishment of global standing, and Lord only knows what else. Gee, thanks democrat party and republic partisans!

As documented in this space in the past few weeks, S&P made it very clear to these slimeball politicians what they needed to accomplish in the debt ceiling bill in order to protect the federal government's AAA bond rating (the top rating, which the U.S. has never lost before).

Simply put: They needed to pass a bill that included a minimum of $4 trillion in cuts to deficit spending over 10 years. The bill that these scuzwad politicians on both sides passed -- and which the clueless so-called "leader" Obama signed -- fell well short of that number. So did all of the various other bills that both parties lobbed about during that time period.

In short, don't blame gridlock, the tea party or the loony left. Because neither party proposed any bill that would have cut the amount of deficit spending that S&P was calling for. Instead, both parties simply paid no attention to S&P.

As further commented in this space recently: Given such a monumental failure and these parties completely ignoring what S&P was telling them, why in the hell would you ever vote for either of these two parties again? I won't be. As usual, I'm going third party until the damn cows come home.

And where now are all of the partisan hacks on the right and left who said -- after the debt ceiling bill passed -- that such a downgrade would not happen anytime soon? (Actually, I know where they are tonight: Coming up with bullshit spin and propaganda on how to blame the other side for the downgrade).

You see, when I predict how things are probably going to go, based upon everything that I've read and seen, the funny thing is that I usually turn out to be right. Too bad few ever listen to me or the few other reasonable non-partisan voices out there.

Gas Tax Woes: "You May Want to Consider Investing in Some Good Shock Absorbers For Your Car This Fall."

That quote above was the lead sentence from a purported hard news story on CNN.com Thursday (first link below) concerning how some lawmakers loyal to the tea party may oppose renewing the federal gas tax, "which is used to maintain our nations highways."

This wasn't an editorial. It wasn't "news analysis." It wasn't something I found on dailykos or drudge. Rather, it was presented as a hard news story on CNN.com by someone named Steve Hargreaves.

And as hard news, it of course felt the need to weigh in with an opinion on the facts reported by warning you to get some new shock absorbers for all those unattended potholes that will surely be cropping up if the domestic terrorists get their way. (And don't call me Shirley).

You know, I sometimes wonder why I don't take my University of Missouri journalism degree and just toss it in the rubbish bin. It truly isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Not anymore, leastways. Today's "media" has seen to that.

On a brighter note, check out the hot ladies on GasPumpHotties.com (second link below), the source of the above pictures. That would be a much better use of your time than reading any of the propaganda and advocacy pieces masquerading as journalism on so-called "news" websites like CNN.com.

Happy Birthday to Me! It's Lavish Party Time for His Majesty, But Forget Any Outrage; Instead Ponder: Is This Individual Politically Braindead?

It doesn't take an Ivy League edumacation to figure out that you don't throw a big gala birthday bash as president when the economic news has been going from bad to worse for weeks. Or when even the one small badge of your presidency starts to rust, as stocks continue to tumble on Wall Street. Or when the pathetic debt ceiling bill that you just signed off on has now caused China to downgrade the U.S. credit rating, with credit rating agencies like S&P possibly not far behind in the weeks and months to come.

I'm not even going to complain or shout. We've seen the out-of-touch, condescending and aloof nature of this individual many times before. Instead, my observation here is a different one: What an incredibly stupid political move! Who's advising this individual, anyway? H.R. Haldeman and Bad, Bad Leroy Brown?

As I read the accounts of this Royal Affair -- with the various millionaires, billionaires, celebrities and corporate jet owners in attendance Wednesday night at Chicago's swanky Aragon Ballroom (pictured above) -- I'm left with one thought:

I may now just have to rethink my long-held political opinion that this individual (regardless what you think of him) probably wins re-election in 2012. The way he's going, he may not be electable as the Deputy Head Cleaner at a South Side shithouse down on Halstead Street.

"Been Around the World and Found That Only Stupid People Are Breeding; the Cretins Cloning and Feeding"...

No, those aren't deleted scenes from "Sarah Palin's Alaska" nor staged photos from the video of the old Harvey Danger song, "Flagpole Sitta." Instead, they are the real photos taken by deranged parents, as compiled on the website ParentFails.com.

I saw yesterday that Obama is ordering health insurance companies to cover contraceptives. Leaving aside the whole issue of the federal government being in the business of decreeing what private insurance companies must cover -- just think of the parents who snapped the pictures above. Free condoms and birth control pills? Maybe the leftist 20 percenter is on to something there for once.

You Not Getting Them Damn Keys, Daddy! 8-Year-old Allegedly Tries to Drive Old Man Home As Daddy "Slept Off Bender in the Backseat"...

I'm certain this isn't what M.A.D.D. has in mind when it recommends that drunks always arrange for a designated driver before they head out to booze it up on the town. Cops in Louisiana have busted 28-year-old daddy Billy Joe Madden (pictured above; do all people in the Deep South have three names?) for allegedly having his 8-year-old son try to drive him home from the bars early Saturday morning.

Madden allegedly needed to sleep off his "bender," but apparently also really wanted to get home in the meantime. So enter his young son, who (after all) had two eyes, two hands and two feet -- all the prerequisites for driving his trashed old man back to the homestead.

Cops got the call when a motorist reported seeing Madden's pick-up truck driving erratically on Interstate 12. When cops pulled the reckless runaway truck over, they found the 8-year-old at the helm of the vehicle. Cops say the old man was drunk and sleeping, while another of his kids -- a 4-year-old daughter -- was also along for the ride.

The boy's little two-state joyride allegedly began in Hattiesburg, Mississippi (known for having some of the nicest shithouses in all the South) before coming to an abrupt halt near the Louisiana town of Holden. The little driver had reportedly been tasked with getting his plastered old man all the way to Dallas before cops pulled the rig over and put a stop to that.

Just for good measure, cops say Daddy had a cold one open in the car while sonny tried to drive his sorry sloshed ass home (allegedly). But no need for any designated drivers where Daddy may now be headed -- the local hoosegow. Papa's been busted on charges of child desertion, allowing a minor to drive, open container, and two counts of lack of child restraints and seatbelts.

So let me get this straight: If the old man had just bothered (1) to install a child seat in the driver's seat for little sonny and (2) to make sure the tot was wearing a seatbelt, then Daddy might now be facing a little less time in the ol' cooler? There you have it. Click it or ticket, next time you have sonny take the wheel, Daddy-O.

The Worst Nightmare of the gop: Donald Trump Again Floats the Idea of Running for President as an Independent...

The latest pronouncement from Trumper has him saying he will strongly consider tossing his hat into the ring as an Independent if the economy "continues to be bad" and if the republic partisans "pick the wrong candidate" as their nominee (link at bottom). As I've said before, I'd love him to jump in.

I question whether I could ever actually vote for him. While he's part crazy like a fox, he's also part just plain crazy. He's also very volatile and prone to politically stupid moves (see embracing the "birthers"). But it's just that unpredictability that leads me to encourage him to run.

Can you imagine the high entertainment that the normally snooze-fest general election debates would become with the Donald in there? Him mixing it up with the sorry likes of Obama and whatever stiff the republic partisans nominate would be something I'd pay money to see.

And yes, I'm fully aware that Trump running as an Independent would basically guarantee Obama wins re-election. I couldn't care less. As I often say, while Obama is one of the two worst presidents of my lifetime, guess whom the other is?

That's right, his republic partisan predecessor W Bush. I have absolutely no confidence that whomever the republic partisans nominate will be any less destructive and any better than Obama and W. So let Obama win if it means we get to see Trumper raisin' a ruckus in the general election. It's worth the price of admission.
