Tea party challenges Keith Olbermann

Olbermann has always been a prissy little douche on no ratings MSNBC. This Dallas Tea Party challenge given to him is hilarious!

A tea party group is criticizing Keith Olbermann for suggesting the conservative grassroots organizations lack diversity, challenging the MSNBC host to attend an anti-tax rally on Saturday.

A 90-second web video posted on Monday by the Dallas Tea Party rebuts the liberal “Countdown” host’s attacks on the groups during his show.

“Let me ask all of you who attend these things, how many black faces do you see at these events?” Olbermann says during a clip highlighted in the video.

“Well, Keith, we see a whole lot more at our events than we see at MSNBC,” a narrator responds, as the video cuts to an image of the network’s mostly white lineup.

The video highlights the same lineup after Olbermann asks later, “Why are you surrounded by largest crowd you will ever again see in your life that consists of nothing but people who look exactly like you?”

One tea party activist in the video then tells Olbermann, “Something tells me you’ve never been to a tea party. We think you need to get out of your bubble.”

“So, now you’ve been invited to the one-year anniversary of the tea party movement at Dallas City Hall Feb. 27 from noon to 2 o’clock,” another activist follows up, going on to impersonate the colorful host. “If you don’t show, have you no shame sir?”

Olbermann recently defended MSNBC against the charge that there’s not enough diversity in the network’s lineup, pointing out during a lengthy special comment on “Countdown” that while the current lineup is mostly white, a number of minority hosts have had shows on MSNBC and frequently contribute.

Body scanner machines in UK airports



Supposedly the images that were scanned were destroyed after a scan is performed of a passenger at a UK airport. Based on the story below, that is not entirely true. Indian film star Shahrukh Khan were printed out and circulated by airport staff at Heathrow in London.

See story here:

It's not the extra security that really bugs me. Now these images can be treated as "negatives" of sorts. Here is an example of a "before and after":


What concerns me most, is that these scans can also include children. If photos of film star Shahrukh Khan can be printed out, there is no real reason that a pedophile can get a hold of a picture of a child from one of these scanners. On that aspect, I am quite disgusted at the whole thing and do not support this technology in use at airports.

Just in! Critical analysis!

EXCLUSIVE: Palin's Tea Party Crib Notes

I am astounded at such important news on how Palin managed to keep track of her speech, and the top notch analysis by Huffington Post that is critical in the scheme of things. I do not know what I would have done without such crucial information. Politicians, or anyone giving a speech for that matter, always have some means of keeping track of the content. It's pretty normal, yet because it's Palin it is a shocking story! There are lots of jabs at Obama with his teleprompter (POTUS and TOTUS) but that's rather par for the course. But then again...this is PALIN!
