Oh, just, well, Gag-a-maggot….

(Via Truth Revolt)   On today’s Now with Alex Wagner, the host played the hot audio clip of the day: the narrated excerpt from Hillary Clinton’s new book, released from Simon & Schuster. Among such revelatory insights as “run Hillary run” and “last Nevuary”, we had this very serious insight:

“She has a mellifluous alto, doesn’t she?”

That is some quality, day-time, hard-hitting news. Seriously, who talks that way? Mellifluous alto? She forgot to mention Hillary’s beatific countenance and indefatigable stoutheartedness. Wagner’s adroit toadying is as masterful in honed execution as it is peerlessly plauditory.

The question these days isn’t “is the media in the tank for Hillary” but rather, “how deep is the tank they are in”. For Alex Wagner, the answer is: the tank is deep. The analysis, not so much.  (link)

HatTip WeaselZippers – (Via The Hill) Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), a former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has been placed on the ballot for re-election by a federal district judge in spite of universal agreement that he didn’t meet the plain-language election filing requirements.

Judge Matthew Leitman ordered that Conyers be put back on the August ballot last week after the Michigan secretary of state had denied the congressman’s appeal earlier in the day.

The dispute stems from the failure of Conyers — who has been in Congress for almost 50 years — to submit enough petition signatures to qualify for the ballot under Michigan law. No one disputes that Conyers did not meet the legal requirements to be on the ballot, but Leitman ruled that “There is evidence that their failure to comply with the Registration Statute was the result of good faith mistakes and that they believed they were in compliance with the statute.” (more…)

We’ll continue to look for specific information from the meeting.    In the interim here’s a brief video to show you the level of resident interest:

“Dozens of people turned out for the Myrtle Beach City Council meeting Tuesday afternoon after a violent weekend. Citizens will be able to comment and it’s expected to be Bike Fest Violence dominating the Public comments. The meeting is being held at the Ted C. Collins Law Enforcement Center in Myrtle Beach”.  (link)

“Dozens” ?   Gee, how generous (/sarc)… move along, move along.. nothing to see here folks… nothing to see… move along, move along.

WASHINGTON (AP) – First lady Michelle Obama is striking back at House Republicans who are trying to weaken healthier school meal standards, saying any effort to roll back the guidelines is “unacceptable.”

The rules set by Congress and the administration over the last several years require more whole grains in the lunch line and set limits on sodium, sugar and fat.

The first lady met Tuesday with school nutrition officials who said the guidelines are working in their schools.

I had no idea.     Thank goodness CNN is there to help us understand:

COSTELLO: That was Mrs. Obama back in 2010 when she signed the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act into law. Well now some members of Congress and the food industry want to roll back that initiative and loosen requirements to cut costs. Today the First Lady takes the unusual step of delivering White House remarks speaking out against that House measure and in another twist, a one-time ally of Mrs. Obama’s initiative is now a critic.

GOLETA, Calif. — The father of a young man gunned down Friday during the rampage in Santa Barbara said he is asking members of Congress to stop calling him to offer condolences but nothing more for the death of his only child, Christopher Michaels-Martinez.

“I don’t care about your sympathy. I don’t give a s— that you feel sorry for me,” Richard Martinez said during an extensive interview, his face flushed as tears rolled down his face. “Get to work and do something. I’ll tell the president the same thing if he calls me. Getting a call from a politician doesn’t impress me.”

Saying “we are all to blame” for the death of his 20-year-old son, Martinez urged the public join him in demanding “immediate action” from members of Congress and President Obama to curb gun violence by passing stricter gun-control laws. (more…)

There is so much PC-ism (literally hundreds of examples) within the Atlantic Beach / Myrtle Beach -Bike Fest Weekend story- it’s almost too much to absorb.

In response to five shootings, three deaths, and a total of ten people shot during Black Bike Week – The city of Myrtle Beach/Atlantic Beach is at odds within itself.

The majority of business and residents want the event cancelled –  But Myrtle Beach is stuck betwixt Atlantic Beach, the NAACP, and a hard place.   The entire issue, support vs. non-support for Black Bike Week, aka now “Bike Week”, falls along racial lines.

However, Myrtle Beach Residents are tightrope walking around their egg shell thin PC-ism’s saying it’s not about race….  While simultaneously the Town of Atlantic Beach residents are actively wielding the race-card. (more…)

Mrs. Clinton is proud of accomplishments that no-one, even herself, can name.

“Mythical Accomplishments” should have been the name of her new book.   Then again, maybe she is genuinely proud of the 2010 Global U.S. Apology Tour, as she spent almost an entire year apologizing to heads of state for what was written about them by her State Department team and released by WikiLeaks.

WASHINGTON DC – Hillary Rodham Clinton writes in new excerpts from her upcoming book that she wishes she could go back and reconsider some of her past decisions but she is “proud of what we accomplished” during her time as secretary of state.

Did anyone ever see Marlon Brando in “The Island of Dr. Moreau“?  Just sayin’… /SD

Clinton, a potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, writes in an author’s note released Tuesday that her four years running the State Department for President Barack Obama taught her about the United States’ “exceptional strengths and what it will take for us to compete and thrive at home and abroad.”

“As is usually the case with the benefit of hindsight, I wish we could go back and revisit certain choices. But I’m proud of what we accomplished,” Clinton writes. “This century began traumatically for our country, with the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the long wars that followed, and the Great Recession. We needed to do better, and I believe we did.” (more…)

The NAACP vows litigation vengeance if the Myrtle Beach Mayor tries to stop the violence or cancel future events.

SOUTH CAROLINA – […]  “I don’t know if there’s anything I could say that could satisfy our residents and the business community in our city right now,” said Myrtle Beach Mayor John Rhodes.

WMBF News spoke with the Mayor on Monday to see if the city has plans to make changes to Memorial Day Weekend security in the future to prevent crime.  The short answer is yes.

“I’m fed up with it; I’m mad as hell about it,” added Rhodes.  “Something has to be done and whatever we have to do to correct this thing, that’s the direction we’re going in.”

This triple homicide is one of five shootings in Myrtle Beach in less than 48 hours.  Rhodes said this crime trend does not reflect the true Myrtle Beach. (more…)
