Monday Musings With The Crew

Tired of GOP debate analysis?  Heard enough about Megyn Kelly's menstrual cycle over the weekend?  You've come to the right place, let's dive into this week's edition of Monday Musings...

• The Kraft company is recalling 36,000 cases of individually wrapped slices of "cheese" after several customers reported choking on the plastic wrapping covering the slices.  SACSTW dispatched our ace field investigator to interview the customers, where it was determined they had actually choked on the "cheese". Officials with the FDA have demanded Kraft "make the cheese and the plastic taste different".

• Pope Francis marked the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing by referring to the atomic blast as "a permanent warning to humanity".  Indeed. 
  

• The one-year anniversay of Michael Brown's death was also marked this weekend.  Trevion Hobson had perhaps the most poignant and heartfelt tribute to Mr. Brown.  Police say the 17 year old attended the protest on the anniversary...and shot a fellow protestor.  If Barack had a son...

• As we noted on the SACSTW Facebook page this week,  Nathan Phifer went into a grocery store in the Houston area and proceeded to cache 3 bottles of wine in his pants.  He then went to the store bathroom and pounded 2 of the bottles.  On his way out of the store, Nathan grabbed up a handful of sushi and stuffed it down his pants as well.  Store personnel stopped him on the way out with the ill-booten gotty.  Frankly, I'm suspicious of this whole story.  Sahib hasn't used the "Nathan" alias in years.

•  Finally there is this.... Perennial SACSTW fave Kim Jong-un and his band of wacky henchmen are at it again.  North Korea has announced that on August 15th, every clock in the country will be set back 30 minutes to the newly decreed "Pyongyang Time".  Pyongyang Time is defined as 149 years, 364 days, 23 hours, and 30 minutes ahead of the standard of living of the North Korean people.  Long-time SACSTW readers take note....the Lachrymosity Level is
  

  now Orgasmic.

Democrats Looking to Exorcise The Demons of the GOP

Maxine could use a spa day!

Was there some nationwide screening of the Exorcist for liberals that I don't know about?  Everywhere I look today, some progressive whackitron is making references to casting out the demons and evil spirits that are the Republicans.

First up is Clarence B. Jones, with a column at The Huffington Post titled..."Demonizing Obama and the Politics of Morality".  Read it here if you are done eating.  Obviously Clarence, the left would never stoop so low as to "demonize" a political opponent, right?  Uh, not so fast pea-soup breath!

Next is SACSTW favorite Maxine Waters.  Speaking to California Democrats, the lovely, reasoned, and well balanced Rep.Waters (D-Ca) had this to say on the topic of Satan's minions....

Shockingly, no mention of a member of Congress referring to other members as "demons" made its way onto the websites of ABC news, CNN, MSNBC, or CBC.  The Huffington Post did obliquely mention the story, but only in a hit piece on Fox News anchor Eric Bolling, who advised Waters to "step away from the crack pipe".  Not only did the kind and gentle Rep. Waters call 2 GOP leaders "demons", she went on to characterize them as "legislators who are destroying this country rather than bringing us together".  There's an old saying about a pot and a kettle that would be appropriate here, but I don't dare use it as it also contains the word "black".

Actually, part of what Maxine spewed is correct.....this conservative doesn't want to "come together" with Mad Maxine.....short pause while the cold chill finishes traversing my spine...., I want Maxine and her gang of haters to go away, and never foul the stage of government again.  Conservatives need to be trying to defeat and vanquish, not compromise with people who want to "transform" America.

Finally there is this question.....how does a Republican presidential candidate know when the liberal establishment is worried about him?   Answer:  When the Huffington Post runs this photo as the lead on their Politics page......

Creepy lighting....check

Gnarled claws for hands....check

Mouth open in mid-satanic chant....check

Name that kind of sounds like some religious thingy....check

Thank goodness the liberal establishment would never seek to demonize conservatives!

O'Reilly Harpoons "Moby" Dick Harpootlian on MLK Day Hypocrisy

Like Melville's Ahab, Bill O'Reilly buried a harpoon deep in the bloated belly of southern Democrats on his show that aired on Martin Luther King Day this week.  As veteran SACSTW readers know, one of our favorite themes is skewering the hypocrisy of the left, and it has never been done better than Officer O'Reilly did on Monday evening.

Let's set the stage.  As we all know, the GOP held a debate in South Carolina on MLK day.  This caused great offense and consternation to Dick Harpootlian, the chairman of the South Carolina state Democratic Party.  If the name sounds familiar, he is the guy who made these reasoned and thoughtful comments about the GOP primary season on Megan Kelly's show:

So, the chairman of the state Democratic Party of South Carolina isn't worried about offending vertically challenged voters because  "I don't think they can reach the machine....".  You know, the sensitivity and compassion of the left is striking.  But I digress.

On Monday, Harpootlian made it clear that he thought by holding a debate on MLK day, the GOP was ignoring Dr. King's birthday, and showing its racism and disregard for the black voters in South Carolina.  Officer O'Reilly asked (rather gently I might add) Moby Dick if he knew what happened on MLK day in 2008.  After much stammering and dodging, Harpootlian grudgingly admitted that the Democratic Party held a Presidential debate on MLK day in 2008, sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus.  So, to review,
Democrats debating on MLK day GOOD, Republicans debating on MLK day RACIST and OFFENSIVE.

As I have mentioned before (referring to Mitt Romney in fact), the best way to evaulate these talking heads is to look for those little moments when they drop their guard (although I'm not sure Harpootlian has one) and say something that illuminates the dark recesses of their core philosophy.  Harpootlian did just that when his conversation with O'Reilly turned to the presidential election of 1860.  Incredibly, Moby Dick said that GOP candidates Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich were injecting race into the 2012 election by referring to it as "the most important election since 1860".

What happened in the presidential election of 1860?  Americans elected a Republican President who guided the nation through its most turbulent years, preserved the United States for future generations, and oh yeah, freed millions of blacks from the chains of slavery.  Those are plain, simple facts that can not be disputed by anyone.  Harpootlian's comment on the election of 1860...."We in the South have a little different version of what happened in 1860".  Wow, even for the jaded and cynical Crew it was hard to believe he admitted that.
Behind those words lurks the dark and twisted soul of the Democrat Party.

I'm guessing that the South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman's "version" of what happened in 1860 goes something like this:

That damn cracker Lincoln came in and stole the election away from mah man John Breckinridge!  Then he told us God-fearin Southerners that we couldn't keep those blacks (probably not the word he was thinking) in our fields anymore, and we ended up having to pick our own damn cotton!
