Barts Fox News Dream

Had enough?

From DKos...


Have you finally had enough? From liberals being terrorists, to whether Bill Clinton should have been impeached or assassinated, to Al Gore being a "total fag," to publicly endorsing the poisoning of Supreme Court justices, to advocating the murder of members of the US House of Representatives, to whether the women whose husbands had died at the World Trade Center were happy because it made them rich and famous -- well, on Friday Ann Coulter did it again.

At the Conservative Political Action Conference, she was introducing Mitt Romney, Republican Presidential candidate, and invoked the word "faggot" again to describe John Edwards, Democratic Presidential candidate. Want to hear for yourself?

I can't stand the idea that these people are going to try to "swiftboat" more Democratic candidates. I have always wanted to do something about Coulter -- each of her attacks is egregious, some more than others. All are hateful. Whether you think it is better to ignore her, or to implore her Republican colleagues to castigate her, or to urge every Democrat you know to attack back, I think it's always a good idea to let advertisers know exactly how you feel about their sponsorship of hate.

Following is a link to an article in Daily Kos wherein the diarist has collected information on contacting Coulter's advertisers. Please click on it, read it, and let her advertisers know exactly how you feel. I plan to spend some time tomorrow doing just that, and I hope you will too.

There are others listed in the article as well, all with contact information. Spend a couple of minutes letting them know how you feel.

Domestic Abuse

The Battle of Forest Hills...

Parking disputes, congested roadways and safety concerns will apparently be continuing indefinitely in the neighborhoods surrounding Reservoir Avenue’s Domestic Bank. At Monday night’s meeting the council voted 5-4 to table an ordinance that would have placed a two-hour maximum on parking on the streets surrounding the bank.


From the Cranston Herald...

Everyone who attended the council meeting Monday night (with the possible exception of the Domestic Bank representatives) left feeling flabbergasted, dismayed and probably more than a little put out. There was a lot of grandstanding, excessive volume and surprisingly little accomplished.


More from the Herald...

Only in the “Kingdom of Council President Garabedian” could you enjoy such an entertaining City Council meeting as this past Monday’s, the results of which were the beheading of a neighborhood and the knighting of Domestic Bank – a company with a demonstrated lack of corporate governance. Only in the “Kingdom of Council President Garabedian” do you see a company rewarded for violating city codes, cease and desist orders and parking bans during snow emergencies.


More...

If you have never attended a City Council meeting, now is the time. In just two short months, the current council, under the leadership of Aram Garabedian, has managed to fashion itself into something resembling a sideshow carnival act.
