I’m about done reading the news, I swear. Maybe I’ll feel better about everything tomorrow (Tuesday), but Monday night, when I am writing this post….notsomuch.
-Hollywood stars are now calling American Sniper a film about a NAZI….just imagine; a film about a real hero making more money than a film about perverts and crime? They can’t take it.
-Afghans who helped save Navy SEALS are now seeking asylum or they’re going to be killed.
-FOX is being mocked for so stupidly calling Birmingham, England, a “No go Zone” and Bobby Jindal made an ass of himself saying that because Steve Emerson did. BIRMINGHAM? THE CITY? What was he thinking? I think he needs to go make another response to a STOTU speech and really bow out of any political future. What thinking person publicly announces BIRMINGHAM is shut to non Muslims? And he tried to worm out of it so unartfully.
-The State Department says not all terrorists with American passports will have them revoked. Pardon me, but WHAT THE HELL?
-That complete idiot Al Sharpton thinks the Oscars are racist though SELMA is nominated for best film. But he feels there should have been Black actors and actresses (I refuse to call a female thespian an actor, sorry) nominated. I guess next year we’ll have BEST BLACK ACTOR and BEST HISPANIC ACTOR? Or maybe just BLACK because the Reverend wouldn’t care about anybody BUT Blacks? What a monstrous human being he is.
-and Obama speaks Tuesday night.
It’s a good thing I had a great day and dinner with good friends tonight.
Which of the above ticks you off the worst? OR, CHEER ME UP!

Steve Emerson admitted that he misspoke. Unlike many others whom others here can certainly name, he’ll never be forgiven.
I’m avoiding almost completely reading the news right now. The newspapers arrive, and I toss them straight into the recycle bin. Mr. AOW and I are too sick with what is probably influenza to care about current events. Busy trying to breathe!

* call ‘flight attendants’ what they were for the first 75 years of commercial flight: stewardesses

* call ‘calorically challenged’ or ‘big boned’ folks as fat
* mentally challenged/impaired folk as retards (Rahm Emanual does)

I don’t think Jindal made an ass of himself. I watched his interview with Wolfie … and although CNN attempted to invalidate Jindal, he was articulate and he refused to back off from what he said. And what he said quoted a British police commissioned from Birmingham.

Mustang, the whole city of Birmingham isn’t a no-go zone. That’d be like Cleveland, Ohio being a no-go zone. The article I read sure didn’t represent the situation like what you saw; I’m glad for your different take on it and, obviously, am sick of the journalists ridiculing all of FOX for these remarks.

This video is worth seeing of Jindal with a very liberal Brit interviewer.
Nowhere is the British police comment….Did he mention that to Wolfie?

Yes he did, Z … and once more, Jindal is making an observation about the tendency of Moslems to segregate themselves away from mainstream society, to impose upon non-Moslems, Sharia compliant behaviors. Bobby Jindal is saying in 2015 exactly what Enoch Powell said in 1968. How is that making an ass of himself?

Mustang, when someone like Jindal says all of Birmingham’s a no-go zone, that’s a problem…and that’s what I’d read…that he mouthed Steve Emerson’s preposterous statement. How could anybody hear Emerson say ALL of Birmingham on FOX and not ask “What did you say?” And then repeat it?
Honestly, I’m Googling now and can’t find what i’d read before….that Jindal repeated specifically the Birmingham line.
I’m TOTALLY on the side of Jindal’s argument about no-go zones being a terrible thing and that some areas of big cities are turning out like that and it has to stop, you know that.
But you are an ass when you quote someone without looking better into a statement like ALL OF BIRMINGHAM.
If he didn’t use Birmingham in his talk, and I can’t find it, he was right. And, if he did use it, I still think he’s right on all the other points he’s making. There is no doubt at all that there are zones muslim radicals have taken over and after reading liberals on this subject and how they’ve utterly insulted FOX for having Emerson make that statement, I see they’re leaning on the fact that they are not OFFICIALLY NO GO. Of course, nobody, even Emerson, has said they’re officially that…. and Jindal rises to that occasion by reminding us that it’s not FORBIDDEN for police to go in, they’re just scared to death to GO in (I know that from Paris)…they’re often attacked when they enter certain neighborhoods, cars are burned (we all know that…it’s an ongoing thing, not just that rioting from about 6 years ago, by the way)….
If Jindal didn’t use Emerson’s assertion about Birmingham, then I’m wrong and admit it. I can’t find that now but did read that he had earlier.
Does anybody have anything to say about my other stuff?

Now the Mayor of Paris is saying she’s going to sue FOX for the comments of Steve Emerson. I’m wondering why she doesn’t sue Emerson, since it was an interview and any news venue is susceptible to a guest saying ANYTHING?
Also, believe me, there might not be official no-gos but there are parts of Paris, streets, etc., where cops don’t go. If they don’t, would you?

Bobby Jindal has a habit of stepping into a pile of crap, occasionally. I am sad that he can’t seem to keep his foot out of his mouth.
