The Ray Rice Media Distraction

Like everyone else I've been keeping an eye on the Ray Rice beating his fiance/wife thing because the media keeps shoving it into our faces.
I'm not disputing that it's a terrible thing he did but with all the things going on in the world it seems a little strange that this is what they want to obsess over.

There's a couple of things I've been able to take away about this story.
One is that apparently beating your fiance'/wife is on par with opposing homosexual marriage because either one seems a worthy reason to lose your job.
The other thing is that the public seems to believe that they have a right to virtually flog the transgressor even though the public isn't the one he harmed.

I would think that instead of trying to banish this guy and his wife from society that people would be more interested in making this whole thing a teachable moment about how to break the cycle of domestic abuse.
I've seen couples go through this before and more time than not they seperate for a while and then without counseling they just get back together and basically rinse and repeat.
Even with counseling some couples repeat the cycle but more don't, they either separate for good or one partner learns why he/she has violent tendencies and learns to control his/her anger and urges.
 If people really cared about the situation then they would pressure the NFL to suspend Ray Rice until after he and his wife successfully complete counseling for their issues.

But the media really doesn't care about this couple, what they care about is distracting the public from Benghazi, the IRS, Obamacare,ISIS/ISIL and Obama's failure to confront them or the abysmal economy and a myriad of other things.

Funny thing is that the people fall for the media's deflections every time.

Sydney Leathers Endorses.......

....who the hell really cares?

Sydney Leathers backs Anthony Weiner rival

New York City mayoral candidate Christine Quinn just picked up an interesting endorsement — from Sydney Leathers, the young woman at the other end of the phone in the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal.
When asked by Complex magazine whom she would vote for in the mayoral race, Leathers said that Quinn is an “easy” choice.
“Obviously, she doesn’t have the impulse control problems that Anthony has. I love the fact that she is out and proud. I have so many gay friends, and I feel like she would be a great ally for that community. She cares about middle-class people. She cares about students. I feel like she is more in line and up to the standard that should be set for the mayor,” said the 23-year-old, who is now appearing in an X-rated film referencing the Weiner scandal.

Says the skank who's willing to do anything to keep her 15 minutes going. Another in a long line of talent-less bimbos who've gotten more press than they deserve.

I mean it really sickens me to even bring her up but lets face it, the liberal/commie media sticking this kind of crap in our faces is part of their plan to constantly distract us from the serious problems that their anointed one and his cabinet are doing to this country.
Again we're being poorly served by the so-called "watch dogs" against corruption, malfeasance and despotism of our government.

Instead of getting answers about Benghazi, the IRS terrorizing people who oppose Obama, fast and furious, the deficit, the shrinking jobs market and the decimation of the middle class we get to hear about Sydney Leathers opinion and breathlessly told about her plans to do porno.

We need to demand better from the media or find alternatives, let the lemmings have Weiner and Leathers.

The Degradation of Panties

Wow, sometimes I wonder where feminists come up with things to be outraged about. It's OK for them to dress up in vagina costumes but somehow theres a whole slew of them who cringe at the word "panties".

Why the Word 'Panties' Is So Awful (And What to Do About It)

Every month or so, I receive a glossy coupon from Victoria's Secret in my mailbox. "Free panty!" it beckons. "No purchase necessary!"
Reading those words, I cringe a little bit. Not because I hate underwear—I'm an ardent lover of underwear. It's because I hate the word "panty." I hate the plural form of "panty" as well. "Panties" creeps me out.
And apparently I'm not alone. In addition to a slew of blog posts and message boards denouncing the word, The Huffington Post's Zoë Triska named it "the worst word ever." Cracked.com included "panties" in its list of the "Five Words That Need To Be Banned From English."
Why does the word "panties" bother so many people?~snip~

My questions about this are several, for one thing I had a buddy from Great Britain who referred to them as frilly undies. So it seems to me that the term "panties" ain't carved in stone. Either works well for me.
The next question I got to ask is where is the outrage from feminists over all the woman and children forced into poverty due to Obama's and the democrats policies?
I mean if they really care about women's issues I would think the space used for this article would have been better served by pointing out the number of working mothers who've lost their jobs since the Obamessiah ascended to the presidency and to pointedly ask what the hell he is going to do about it.

But no, what we get here is just another distraction from real issues that affect real people because the liberal press and feminists have to prop up Obama and cover for him by avoiding the truth at all costs.

So yeah lets get all weewee'd up over what to call panties, I'm sure the democrat party appreciates it.

Latching onto Irrelevence

Liberals are simple minded creatures who can't resist colorful objects. Like after the first debate with all the issues involved the one thing they take from it is saving Big Bird.
Not the millions that are unemployed or under employed, not the multi-trillion dollar deficits, or the suffering of the middle class on all levels.
Nope....liberals became obsessed with Big Bird as a symbol for what ails America.

Well after this weeks debate, with unemployment still high, gas prices through the roof, on our way to record deficits and still no answers from the administration on the attack of the consulate in Benghazi and the deaths of four Americans (including the Ambassador).
The bright shiny object progressives are obsessing about is binders.

For instance go to Amazon.com and search for "binders" then read the product reviews.

Pretty silly stuff and it amazes me that liberal commie progressives think so little of the intelligence of the American people that they think they can distract us by pounding away with their juvenile opinions about binders and Big Bird.
Obsessing about these things do nothing to solve the very real problems we are facing in this country because of Obama and the progressive commie democrats that hold our government hostage.

Voters are going to choose their candidate based on the issues that affect them, not on the histrionics of the media and their entitlement minded sycophants.

We'll see how much Big Bird and binders really matter come Nov. 6.
