March 15, 2010
(ChattahBox)—- The specter of the vitriolic hate-filled tea party protests, painting President Obama as Hitler and worse and contributing nonsensical falsehoods to the public discourse, such as death panels, has led to the formation of a counter group, dubbed the coffee party. The group, the brainchild of Annabel Park, a 42-year-old documentary filmmaker, was started on a whim one day by creating a coffee party Facebook page. And the idea of more civility and inclusiveness took off, with a coffee party kick-off on March 13 at coffee shops nationwide. Read more

Military Program of Rogue ‘Jason Bournes’ Under Investigation
March 15, 2010
(ChattahBox)— The New York Times published a wild story today about a U.S. Defense Department official, running a rogue James Bond operation in Afghanistan and Pakistan, using funds diverted from another project. The covert spies were civilian contractors and they were used to gather intelligence on Taliban and al-Qaeda militants, which was then allegedly used to assassinate them. It’s generally illegal for the military to contract out its spying operation. And when the C.I.A. finally got wind of the Defense Department’s “off-the-books spy operation,” the shady operation was shut down. The spymaster military official, Michael D. Furlong is now under criminal investigation for contract fraud. Read more

March 14, 2010

Michele Bachmann (R-MN), whipped them into a fanatical anti-Obama-Pelosi-Reid frenzy. Read more
Lesbian Air Force Sergeant Dischared After Being Outed by Police
March 14, 2010
(ChattahBox)—In another case of unfair third-party outing under the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy, a lesbian Air Force sergeant was discharged, after the local police revealed her sexual identity to her military superiors. Air Force Sgt. Jene Newsome, complied with the DADT policy by keeping her homosexuality private. But when the Rapid City, SD police arrived at Newsome’s home with an arrest warrant for her partner, the officers spied an Iowa marriage license, showing that the two women were married. And the police alerted Ellsworth Air Force base, where she worked, that she was gay. As a result, Newsome, 28, was banished from the military with an honorable discharge, after serving for nearly a decade. With the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, Newsome is suing the police department, claiming they violated her privacy and outed her in retaliation for not cooperating with them. Read more

Clarence Thomas’ Wife Forms Tea Party to Fight Obama’s ‘Hard-Left Agenda’
March 14, 2010
(ChattahBox)—Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, may have some impartiality and conflicts of interest problems ahead. Thomas, a conservative Bush nominee, was part of the 5-4 majority decision in the controversial case, Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, allowing corporations to use their unlimited profits to influence federal elections. Now, his wife Virginia Thomas, a fan of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, is taking advantage of the newly released spigot of corporate cash. She has formed a tea party lobbying group to rake in corporate money to fight against President Obama’s “hard-left agenda.” She describes herself, as an “ordinary citizen,” but that’s obviously not the case. Besides being married to a judge on the highest court in the land, Virginia Thomas is a former right-wing political operative for the Heritage Foundation and former Republican Rep. Dick Armey, who now runs FreedomWorks, a front group for corporate interests that funds tea party groups. Read more
All Dogs Do NOT Go to Heaven, Athiests Rescue Pets After the ‘Rapture’
March 13, 2010
(ChattahBox)—Despite the premise of the 1980s animated film series, “All Dogs Go to Heaven,” many fundamental Christians believe that their pets have no souls. When the end of days finally arrives and Jesus returns to earth to gather up his saints, all of the believers’ beloved cats and dogs will be left behind to starve and face the apocalypse alone. So, what is a devoted pet owner and firm believer in the Rapture to do? Hire an official blasphemer and card-carrying atheist, who has been thoroughly vetted as a profane sinner with no chance of salvation according to Mark 3:29, of course! A company called Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, USA has gathered a motley crew of about 100 reprobates in 22 states, who are also animal lovers, and will rescue pets abandoned after the Rapture for a small, non-refundable fee of $110.

Dems Remind Voters About GOP ‘Racked by Scandal’
March 13, 2010
(ChattahBox)—Last week,the Republican caucus tried to make hay out of the recent ethical problems of Democratic House lawmakers Charlie Rangel (D-NY) and Eric Massa (D-NY), in a bid to portray themselves as free of any ethical problems. In the wake of an ongoing ethics investigation for improperly accepting gifts and a series of tax problems, Rangel resigned from his chairmanship of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. And Massa, suffering from a recurrence of cancer and allegations of sexual harassment of male staffers, resigned in disgrace. But hypocritical lawmakers who throw stones from glass houses, should be careful the attention doesn’t turn back against their parties’ own disgraced lawmakers, who instead of resigning have remained in office. And the Democratic National Committee sought to remind voters in a new ad, about “family values” hypocrites, such as Sen. John Ensign’s (R-NV) sleazy sex scandal, hush money and a cover up that is now being investigated by the F.B.I. And who can forget the very married and so called Sen.”diaper Dave” Vitter (R-LA), who visited New Orleans brothels and ordered up prostitutes from the “DC Madam.” Read more
