Music Thread #1 for 1/29/09: The Return of TWD's Music Thread, Including The Return of Jennifer Hudson

Image
(Photo from RCA) The return of Jennifer Hudson is something that most will cherish The music thread is back. After a long hiatus, a needed break from politics is needed (for the moment). Because would this site still be The Whole Delivery is it didn't have its music fix. It sure as hell wouldn't. And what a way to return indeed, with Violetta Wallace sick and tired of Lil Kim's mouth in regards to her continued verbal assault on the movie "Notorious." Wallace said that before the movie was made, Kim was given a copy of the script and signed off on the use of her likeness in the film. "She felt the character we chose for her was 'too dark,' " Wallace said. "Do you know why the character was too dark for her? Because she's a white woman trapped in a black woman's body, and you can tell the world I said it, because those are Lil' Kim's words. She should be ashamed of herself." And she wasn't done: "Tell Lil' Ki...

It speaks for itself . But don't say "We'll miss you Blago" so fast. You know the airwaves will love to have him on again, like they have needlessly done all week.

How Classy: Former Republican House Leader Armery Gives An Embarrassing Moment To All Of Us

On yesterday's Hardball, Former House Majority Dick Armery gave the years' first tasteless, disgusting soundbite outside of the Rush Limbaugh, Fixed Propaganda (Fox News)horror, telling Salon's Joan Welsh something no one needed to here . In a moment that has spread all over the Rational Online News Network since last night, Armery placed himself clearly in the Hall of Fame of chauvinistic a-holes. Even worse was the fact that Chris Matthews said nothing about Armery's pigheaded quote, needing the New York Times Bob Herbert in the next segment to finally offer an apology for the trash that was witnessed. But that's Matthews though when it comes to challenging his good buddy buddies after disparaging a female. He'll let it be labeled as "just some good entertainment." I wonder if Walsh will be willingly to go on his show after he brazenly stood up for her by laughing along at Armery's bile. And some parents truly give their kids the perfect names. A...

1/29/09- TWD's Agenda For The Day: They Just Don't Learn

I guess the more they lose, the more idiotic they act or think. That most be the case with the Republican Party, as yesterday's shameful action of partisanship by their House members for not casting a single veto for approval of the stimulus bill showed the Obama Administration that being nice to these people doesn't mean a damn thing. They probably knew that however, and just wanted to see how radical these people would still be despite the current disaster the SOP is in at the moment. And because of their unwillingness to act like grownups in a situation that begs for just that, they seem to already have placed themselves in the doghouse of the new cabinet in just the first month (via the great TomP at the Kos ): Pushing back against the unanimous House Republican vote against President Obama’s stimulus plan, the White House plans to release state-by-state job figures “so we can put a number on what folks voted for an against,” an administration aide said. “It’s clear the Re...

The Rational Online News Network For 1/28/09, Part 1: The More They Lose, They More They Are on Your Tube

The best of TRONN for today: Think Progress , as always, has a great list of gems each and every day. And that is the case with this post, showing how there have been more Republican lawmakers than their Democratic counterparts discussing the stimulus bill on cable television by a two to one margin : Sadly, if there is one bright spot in this latest disproportional effort by the corporate media, it is another feather in your cap needed to combat the stupid myth of "liberal bias." That is especially the case with MSNBC here, where their numbers look more from what you expect at Fixed Propaganda (Fox News). Then again, I guess it is their hell bent attitude to make sure everything appears non-liberal outside of the Olbermann-Maddow block. TP also has a this heartwarming and sad post on how the two star child actors in the hit Slumdog Millionaire are still living in poverty ! It's so bad, that their parents are still waiting for payments, and one child's situation is ev...

So Much For Bipartisanship

Via Daily Kos video editor Jed , look what we have here in the final vote for the stimulus package. You would think that after all this reaching out by President Obama that at least maybe one, maybe just one , Republican would vote for the bill, especially since 11 Democrats voted against the bill (the final count was 244-188, as one Democrat switched at the last minute). But noooooooo, ideology, and most importantly, selfish, "me and me only" mentalities have engulfed the elephant party, whether they are nutty conservatives hell bent on their ways of insanity or moderates who talk a semi-rational game but in the end are just as uncaring for the American people as their fellow loony cohorts. The Sad Obnoxious Party strikes again, and they will continue to further make themselves irrelevant with every stupid move they continue to make. Update : Oops, I put the wrong picture up on this thread. Silly me. But not as silly as the SOP.
