ON THE LEFT: Russell Simmons


Russell Simmons: God Will Destroy Us If We Don’t Follow Barack
- John Nolte, Breitbart's Big Hollywood

Over at HuffPo, Russell Simmons has let go of the wheel and bounced off a guard rail. His apocalyptic melodrama sounds like the typical Hollywood cliche of a Christian right-winger. But these lefties are all about projection, so that’s to be expected.

A normal celebucrat post has a pull quote or two you can highlight and make sport of, but Simmons is all pull quote — a bonanza of crazy — so where to begin? Hey, I know, let’s play a game. Here are ten quotes, nine are from Simmons, one is not. Can you pick out the lunacy that doesn’t belong?

    How great things are sometimes made.

    There exists a popular story that a lady in "faded gingham" and a gentleman in a "homespun threadbare suit" went to visit the provost of Harvard about making a donation, were rebuffed.

    So They founded their own college out west

    That place is now called Stanford University.

    The motto of Stanford University, proposed by the first president, David Starr Jordan, is "Die Luft der Freiheit weht." Translated from the German, this quotation of Ulrich von Hutten means "The wind of freedom blows."

  8. Oh, turn - it starts paging a #200, but when you post, it returns you to the top of the thread instead of the end of it, which is confusing - your posts are probably there, just in the 200s somewhere. There's a link that says "Newest" near the top and bottom of the thread (I think) - if you click that, you'll probably see it.

    US facing dearth of skilled workforce
    13 Oct 2009,


    NEW YORK: In what could be signs of prolonged trouble for employees and businesses even after the economic recovery, the lack of better educated and trained workforce in the US is intensifying the unemployment problem, says a study.

    The study by an independent commission, The Springboard Project, said the US is at risk of losing its "competitive edge" and its workers' economic potential by not addressing business' growing demand for a better educated and better trained workforce.

    "American workers' unmet need for further education and training is exacerbating today's unemployment problem and portending long-term trouble for workers and businesses - even after the economy recovers," the report stated.


    But hey, all those potential workers won't be self sufficient, and will be Obama voters standing in line for Free Obama Money.

  61. WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Tuesday regarding the Finance Committee vote on partisan health care reform:

    “Sen. Snowe called me this morning to let me know that while she continues to have serious, substantive policy reservations with this proposal, she wanted to keep the process moving. I share her concerns about the direction of this bill once it leaves the committee, and her call for transparency before we vote to proceed to any bill on the floor.

    "The fact is, this proposal will never come before the Senate. But what we do know is that the bill written behind closed doors here in the Capitol will be another 1,000-page, trillion-dollar Washington takeover. We know it will slash a half-trillion dollars from seniors’ Medicare, add new taxes and raise premiums. That’s not reform.”

    Just saw a guy get beat up, and sent u a picture of a BBQ truck that looks like a
    giant metal pig.

    ReplyDelete
  75. So, I'm downtown. Near Pike Place Market (whoever heard of a farmer's market with big giant neon signs, huh?), and Benaroya Hall - I feel so cultured. I watched an exquisite ballet during this lunch break, as a guy from out of town gave some lip to someone, and three homeless guys beat him up. The whole time, music from TheGreen Table was running through my head, which made it even cooler.

    Then the unfortunate guy ran/stumbled by me, as I was drinking my Vente Drip and smoking a cigarette, looks at me, and exclaims, "This town is fucked up!" to which I could only reply, "Yup."

    Meanwhile, the bus trip into town was interesting, full of commuters - by the time we reached downtown the bus was full, standing-room-only, with only one seat unclaimed - the one next to me. Heh. I must be scary.

    Awesome.

  97. From Instapundit:

    WHY PEOPLE ARE BAILING OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN INCREASING NUMBERS. “Zachary’s offense? Taking a camping utensil that can serve as a knife, fork and spoon to school. He was so excited about recently joining the Cub Scouts that he wanted to use it at lunch. School officials concluded that he had violated their zero-tolerance policy on weapons, and Zachary was suspended and now faces 45 days in the district’s reform school.”

    The excuses offered for this piece of idiocy are even more damning than the idiocy itself.

  102. Hadron Collider physicist Adlene Hicheur charged with terrorism

    "CERN said that Dr Hicheur, one of 7,000 scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider, did not have access to any of the underground facilities and did not handle anything that would interest terrorists.

    A spokesman described him as highly qualified: “This fellow has a doctorate in particle physics, so he is clearly an intelligent person,” he said.

    The scientist also worked as an instructor in experimental physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. “We are pretty shocked and surprised,” said Jerome Grosse, spokesman for the institute."

    Highly intelligent, with a well paying job... can we rule the out "desperate youth with no hope" excuse now?

  131. How's everyone this afternoon? I'm in a crappy mood, personally, because a payment I was desperately counting on is delayed until next Monday for absolutely no good reason.

    I'm soaked, but I now am wearing a good pair of boots (Yay, Ecco!) and thereby, dry-shod, with decently warm toes.

    This is not my usual state during the winter.

    My hair is wet, again, and will dry frizzy. How completely straight hair manages to frizz, I don't know, but it does.

    Hezbollah Removes Weaponry from Explosion Site on 12 Oct 2009

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TRcgjU-JAA&feature=player_embedded

    "Only after Hezbollah removed the weaponry did they allow UNIFIL and the Lebanese Army to enter the site of the explosion. The IDF has sumbitted the footage to UNIFIL to aid in their investigation of the incident."

    sb5k says -
    why bother with the UN? Their investigation will consist of having tea with Hizbollah while the UN officers compliments them on their nice missiles, and files a report that nothing was found.

    Israel should have just blown them all up. "Us? No, must have been some old weapons going off. You know they get unstable after a while."

    RINO.

    Just come clean and join the Democrat Party. Seriously, I'd have way more respect for you that way. I don't think you're a socon, a neocon, or a Donkey Kong. I think just "con" will do.

  142. Does anyone know what exactly got voted for in the finance comm.? Was this Baucus or just a bunch of blank sheets of paper to be filled in with dangerous nonsense later?

    ReplyDelete
  143. Baucus--raucous in the caucus? Or just big talk-us?

  144. OLT, Snowe is beyond RINO. No conservative vlaues at all. Can't imagine what Maine was thinking.

    One has to read that sentence ..."The IDF has sumbitted the footage to UNIFIL to aid in their investigation of the incident." ...with a good sense of humour. Israel knows damn well UNIFIL would do there best to help cover up he incident. Israel has posted this video & very publicly "helped" UNIFIl as a means to shame them into doing their jobs, or more bluntly, to point out they never have been.

    It was the Baucus bill, but it will not resemble that when it's finally given to Obama to sign. This was the major hurdle to get over. Now, the only thing that can stop it is some parliamentary maneuvers the Republicans can try. Otherwise, Obama is getting his Healthcare....not exactly what he wanted, but with a big fat public option still.

  147. Well, VT - it is MAINE, after all. So much for being a conservative because of "fiscal" values. Olympia. I just wish she would shed the facade and go full monty Democrat.

  151. so this is the one that is so deceitful since they pushed a great deal of the $ down to the broke states through mandates and real costs but can pretend it is close to revenue-neutral? Perfect. This is just how it should work.
