Also like to blame Woody because he was a racist who segregated the US America military.

Mother’s Day is really the least of Woody’s sins.

And who is surprised that Beck has deep serious mommie issues?

Took Russki in university because I thought it would be fun to learn a new language. Not fun. Barely passed the course. One of my stupid habits was to learn the native swear words so I am familiar with the post title.

You can learn a lot about a culture through their swear words. The French (non Quebec) have a thing for body functions. Quebec has a religious fetish. You Anglo Saxons love fucking. And Russians have a thing for mothers.

Nobody better tell poor Glenn about this, or else he’ll think the bears are just some sort of Canada City plot… :)

Mothering Sunday, people. Used to be a biggish Christian festival. Now morphed into Mother’s Day. Descended from pagan fertility festivals. Hello?

Oh. And awesome product pitch. In the words of the NYT, Hats off and in the air.

@ManchuCandidate: Ever visit the Teddy Bear museum in the homeland, Manchu? A veritable shrine to Wilsonian progressivismcuddly fetishism.

@Nabisco:
No. The only shrine to fetishism I got to see was a NK infiltration cave located in the DMZ.

@ManchuCandidate:
“And who is surprised that Beck has deep serious mommie issues?”

Mostly.

@Benedick: awesome product pitch.
Srsly. Vermont Teddy Bears called, Glenn. They want their money back.

Christian right leader George Rekers takes vacation with “rent boy”

Best headline of week? Or decade? You be the judge

“It’s a big business scam. ”

I’m shocked — shocked, I say — to learn that Glenn Beck hates capitalism!

Whodda figgered?

@Benedick:

Wow. The cover story sounds like the opener for a joke. “He needs someone to help carry his bags” – yeah, his TEA BAGS! :)

@al2o3cr: This story has everything.

@Benedick: Happy Mother’s Day!

@al2o3cr: It’s fascinating to see how the other half lives. Imagine having the resources to hire your own personal porter to travel the world with you. Must admit, if I had the means, I would too!

@ManchuCandidate: Or you can just have a Ukranian friend in grad school. Very efficient that way.

@PedonatorUSA: The kids brought me breakfast in bed.

@ManchuCandidate:

Woodrow Wilson was indirectly responsible for the Vietnam War. During the 1919 Versailles Peace Conference Ho Chi Minh attempted to present him with a proposal to free Vietnam from colonialism, but he was turned away at the outset, as Wilson refused to meet with “Some Chinaman” .

Had he met with Ho, the course of history might have been very different.

@PedonatorUSA:
But apparently, not enough $$$ to buy some discretion – or at least a separate flight for the rent-boy…

@Tommmcatt Loves The Giant Floating Head:
That’s what always stunned me about Vietnam; there were several instances where we (the US) could have directly avoided that conflict. Versailles was one, and there was another post-WWII where we could have “rewarded” the Vietnamese for their efforts against the Japanese by telling the French to go pound sand.
