But look, the teabaggers are sending people gay pride bracelets with Hebrew writing now http://wonkette.com/422149/tea-party-group-sending-homosexualjewish-bracelets-to-liberals-for-some-reason
I think we also need another Paladino post. First it was Al D’Amato calling him “unfit” and now it’s the Republican AG candidate refusing to endorse or stand on a stage with him. What is New York’s crazification factor?
Eeek! That video should only be seen on Halloween night.

Are they actually calling this thing a “Citizens United Production”? That’s an amazingly unselfaware name for a company that’s in the business of bankrolling political advocacy films.

Motherhood is a political act? Period? I don’t know who many of the women are. Usually if I discover I don’t know something, I want to learn about it. Not in this case. No sir/ma’am.

@Leo: Better that than their Citizens United Not Timid moniker. Seriously. Shameless.

@Omnes Omnibus: I could find you a lot of women, especially radical women of color, who would argue that motherhood is a political act. I think their reasoning would be a bit different though.

On second look, I see that the Supreme Court case was in all likelihood named for this production company, so that explains that.

Speaking of conservative women, some interesting developments up in Alaska. (Link)
Lisa Murkowski is widely expected to announce this afternoon that she is mounting a write-in campaign. Fortunately for her, Alaska law seems to require only that you be kinda close on the spelling.
Tea Party favorite Joe Miller responds by telling the media Mitch McConnell said that if Murkowski wins, she’ll be stripped of her seniority and committee assignments. Now, why couldn’t we get that deal with Joe Lieberman, you might ask.
Only thing is, as the linked article points out, Mitch McConnell doesn’t have the power to strip anyone’s seniority. So it might happen, but it sure sounds like Miller is just making stuff up. Maybe this race will get interesting.

That is just wrong.
I feel sorry for people who truly believe that the AntiChrist is now governing…the world must seem like a very dark and scary place. I strongly recommend that such individuals move off the grid, and stay away from the voting booth in November.

@TooManyJens:
I may have been a little flippant there. Per the film, it appeared that they are arguing that that motherhood is a conservative political act. To me, it seems that it is something that some/many women do. To the extent that it is political, I would imagine that the choice to be, or not be, a mother is involved. That is antithetical to conservative ideology.

Nearly every word these cretins choose is a buzz word.

@slag: It’s only two plus minutes long but I don’t dare play the clip. I trust it’s bad.
And DougJ, I remember seeing the raunchy version of the “Girls on Film” video. That was during my 1984 Duran Duran phase.

@Steve: If Murkowski wins and it’s a 50/50 senate they won’t do a damned thing to her. What she is really seeking is revenge on one of the crazy ladies in Doug’s video.

@Chat Noir: You’re smart. I kept waiting for the punch line. It never came. Though DougJ is right about the grizzly bear footage…it was pretty funny. Just not funny enough.

@Omnes Omnibus: Still. I doubt they feel motherhood is a politcal act when it is undertaken by non-white women, liberals, or non-Christians. Not to go all Godwin, but this video reminds me of Nazi propaganda films which portrayed Aryan motherhood as forming a key pillar of the Reich.

Well, my guess would be that your Department of Law there in Congress would look at Murkowski’s seniority and things of that nature and throw them out.

Wow. Image salad. Thanks for that. How do I go about unseeing things again?
Is this a call to arms against Geithner? Obama? “The Culture?” It’s “The Culture”, isn’t it? Stupid “The Culture.”
I particularly like Tea Harpy #7’s hand wringing over the future of grandchildren and children over stock footage of soldiers marching along. Wha? I can think of one good way to extend lots of people’s future. How about less military adventurism?

I love the way they framed Michelle Bachman – Tim Geithner. He’s looking all perplexed and befuddled at her hard line questioning! Wait…no! It’s because her question was REALLY STOOPID! Christ. On a cracker.

@Omnes Omnibus: I’m with you. That was weird and creepy. People who claim to be anti-government and all about individual rights are saying that something as personal as reproduction is political. Cringe-worthy stuff there.

@sukabi: I’m trying to understand the recent Republican fascination with bears. Weren’t they, during the election, bitching about government spending money on a bear DNA study? And I’m pretty sure “Mama Grizzly” herself was part of that presidential campaign.

Nope. this works. I live in a neighborhood filled with mothers who have post-graduate degrees but don’t work and have full time, live-in Phillipina nannies who have mostly left their own kids back home to be raised without mothers. This is their rallying call. Okay not the cheesy video or even the moron spokesPalin, but the message of “why do you hate me for being selfish, greedy, ignorant and spoiled? Don’t you understand, God made me superspecial!” resonates.

Women are about to rise up and stop the un-Constitutional results of people having voted wrong. They’re going to do it by honoring really dumb female politicians and mean ass juvenile bloggers, and by holding rallies where people wave teabags around. They are our last line of defense.
Peter VE
Of the 14 women named on the website as examples, one is from Texas, two are from St Louis, 3 are Congresswymmyn, and the rest are from DC or New York. I may be a little off base, but I always thought the “Heartland” specifically excluded DC & NYC, and Representatives lost their “Heartland” credentials after a couple terms.

It’s also a coincidental preview of how Palin will assert her alpha female over O’Donnell. Fecundity.
Since O’Donnell is more cutsey-poo, it’s all Bible Spice has on her. Just watch. It’ll happen

“Motherhood as a political act” was very popular concept in a certain Central European country some 75 years ago.
Just sayin’.
Steve
Motherhood is a political act. Every last voter had a mother at some point. Some mothers have gone so far as to plant fake birth announcements in the paper so their child could become President someday.

That’s two minutes forty-two seconds of my life I will never get back. And that kinda givez me a big sad.
I just had a small moment of gentle pushback against my cousins and siblings. I love them all dearly (obligatory stipulation) but I’m distressed at how easily they buy into a lot of the kneejerkery out there. Earlier today I got one of those supposedly funny, supposedly hugely ironic emails that reads (summarizing and paraphrasing):
A Canadian relative sent it around. An American relative replied to all saying “Yup, it’s all true in the United States, too!”
So I wrote back (to all, including a bunch of people I’ve never heard of) and said: “You’re outraged by this? Now here’s what outrages me and makes me sick” and then I pasted in the chart showing the Iraqi civilian casualties that mistermix (I think it was) put up earlier today. That’s all. No other comment.
So far — nobody has responded :-)

Why is there an armed robbery in the middle of the clip? Why is there a rampaging grizzly threatening to eat my face right after that? Am I supposed to think the latter’s a good thing?

I never knew Sex and the City 2 was a threat to my femininity. An insult to my intelligence, maybe, but it has no effect on me as a woman.
The language used in this trailer is far more offensive to my feminine sensibilities than a movie that is a pale imitation of its TV origins ever could be. “Motherhood is a political act” and “Women are the last line of defense” are statements grounded in the philosophy of putting women back in their “place” in society.
And to equate Sarah Palin to Margaret Thatcher is beyond an insult to Thatcher.
YellowJournalism
@Citizen_X: That grizzly footage is the exact same footage Colbert uses in his Threatdown when he mentions bears as a threat. It’s eerie the way the right starts to resemble a parody more than The Colbert Report does.
Bullsmith
O’Donnell is unmarried and unproductive and not a nun. By her own value system, doesn’t that make her something of a failure to carry out God’s mission to procreate? God’s command isn’t stay home and don’t reproduce.

Every time I hear about “mama grizzlies protecting their cubs”, the first thing I think of is the story about a group of teens including Willow Palin breaking into and trashing a house in Wasilla, and Sarah pulling strings to ensure that her daughter wasn’t charged.
Surely I’m not the only one?
