In Remembrance: Gold Star Mother’s and Families’ Day 2014

“The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 115 of June 23, 1936 (49 Stat. 1895 as amended), has designated the last Sunday in September as "Gold Star Mother's Day" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in its observance.”

From the Proclamation Issued By President George W. Bush, September 21, 2007

The gift of liberty is secured by heroes who have answered the call to serve when America needed them most. On Gold Star Mother's Day, we honor the mothers of the service men and women who have given their lives in the defense of our great Nation.

America's Gold Star Mothers are remarkable patriots who serve their communities by demonstrating good citizenship, providing support and services to our troops and veterans, and helping comfort the families whose loved ones have made the ultimate sacrifice. Their sense of duty and deep devotion to our country inspire our Nation, and we thank them for their compassion, determination, and strength. Though they carry a great burden of grief, these courageous mothers help ensure that the legacy of our fallen heroes will be forever remembered. On this day, we offer our deep gratitude and respect to our Nation's Gold Star Mothers; we honor the sons and daughters who died while wearing the uniform of the United States; and we pray for God's blessings on them, their mothers, and their families.

The “Weak” In Review: All The News That Was or Might Have Been

In National News: The future 2nd historic female President gave birth Friday to the future 3rd historic female President, Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky. Seen here celebrating the event, the former future, 1st historic female President and the 1st historic black President.

International News: Saturday, eco-hypocrite progressive libtard movie hunk George Clooney 53, married British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, 36, in a twilight ceremony in Venice.

The post-ceremony boat parade was marred by rare canal odors and turbulence caused by anthropogenic global warming.

“People die from smells every day.” Adrian Monk

Amal nearly cancelled at the last minute when paparazzi released this photo and TMZ headlined an article “The Final HOORAH Before Tying The Knot.”

George Clooney & Cindy Crawford caught in “Final Hoorah”

“Don” Alamuddin does not appear amused

In other international news, American celebrity breast and caboose artist, Kim Kardashian was accosted

KK’s bodyguard guards her…

Waiting to pounce

as she arrived at the Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week. Vitalii said he HOPEs that the Kimster “won’t be mad” at him, butt I don’t think that she’s the one he should be worried about.

In tech news, Apple CEO Tim Cook, unveiled Apple’s 1st, historic failure: the new iPhone 6, proving that he is sans more than Steve Jobs’ turtleneck.

 

In sports, reliable sources have advised this reporter that unrelenting pressure from President Obama, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and CBS football analyst Phil Simms, has forced the Washington Redskins R-words to prepare for changing the team’s nickname.  Several alternative nicknames are under consideration and sources say trademark applications will be filed for all of them because each of them will likely offend someone. The nick name list reportedly includes:

• Washington RougeSkins
• Washington Peaux Rouges (French)
• Washington Pieles rojas (Spanish)
• Washington Hargahood oo la Caseeyeys (Somali)
• Washington Ruĝa Felos (Esperanto) and
• Washington الجلود الحمراء (Arabic)

Finally, in Media news, MOTUS will return to the anchor desk tomorrow.

Molsterman Report #7: Inside Baseball - GOP 2016

NOTE: This is part of a continuing series of exclusive, clandestine, interviews with my mole known only as “Deep Quote” or “Molsterman,”  (who may or may not also be known as “Little Mo” to the MOTUS community) Molsterman is currently serving under deep cover at NSA. (Presented, as always, with apologies to the Ulsterman Report)

Little Mo recently sat down with Molsterman (because MOTUS is away on a girlie weekend) to get his take on potential GOP candidates for President in 2016.

Molsterman: Where’s your girlfriend?

Little Mo: She’s not here.

Molsterman: I asked you where she is.

Little Mo: If you were supposed to know where she is, you’d know.

Molsterman: Look, I need to talk to your girlfriend and get her to run some polls on her blog.

Little Mo: She’s not here.

Molsterman: Maybe we should start over. Can you help me get in touch with MOTUS?

Little Mo: No.

Molsterman: #*&@%#&! Look, I need to get some polling up on MOTUS’ damn blog and I need to do it now!

Little Mo: Yeah.

Molsterman: Look, the Beltway is lousy with Jeb and Mitt 2016 chatter. Nothing granular, just loud and I need to get inside that.

Little Mo: Yeah.

Molsterman: MOTUS and her FOMs are the heart of the “Take Back America” movement and I need to take their pulse.

Little Mo: Yeah.

Molsterman: Not much of a conversationalist are you?

Little Mo: ...

Molsterman: So, I need to take a poll to find out who can generate enthusiasm and support among MOTUS’ FOMs. Koffler’s poll over at White House Dossier on the 18th had Cruz walking away with the nomination. That’s not bad news, butt I need to toss in a few more horses into the race.

Little Mo: Yeah.

Molsterman: I know MOTUS polls are always conducted under Chicago Rules, butt I need to restrict this poll to one vote per person.

Little Mo: MOTUS uses Chicago Rules.

Molsterman: Am I talking to myself here?

Little Mo: ...

Molsterman: Ok, can we just this once take a poll the way we are supposed to conduct elections in America?

Little Mo: You didn’t say the magic word.

Molsterman: What the f%$*? The magic word?

Little Mo: ...

Molsterman: Please?

Little Mo: Yeah.

Molsterman: I hope your girl friend gets back soon. You’re really a pain in the a$$.

Little Mo: Yeah.

ONE VOTE PER PERSON IN THE FOLLOWING POLL

Rooting Around in Lady M’s Organic Garden of Good and Evil

I guess you all saw the guest posting notice yesterday, so you know that MOTUS is away on a “girlie weekend” and I will be guest posting in her absence. I’m not sure what a “girlie weekend” is, butt I do know it involves an afternoon at a spa with Lady M for manicure,

pedicure

and Glass Wax-ing.

She called me yesterday, during her pedicure, to tell me she was having fun and reminded me not to post turnip porn.

I won’t.

Carrot Porn

Butt it is harvest time, and with so many schools dumping Lady M’s taste-free, school lunch programs, root vegetable prices are dropping faster than Big Guy’s favorability ratings,

Ipso fatso (h/t: MOTUS) I thought root veggies might be an economical, nutritious and delicious, diversionary topic.

Being something of an aficionado of root vegetables and a CIA graduate (not the culinary school), I thought it might be fun to show you some of the more interesting and fun roots I found in Lady M’s Organic Garden of Good and Evil this year.

MOTUS and this gal became instant BFFs when I harvested her:

I’m not happy about MOTUS befriending and shopping with my pantry items, butt even I have become friends with a few:

Ok, so I was really, really hungry when I was in the strawberry patch, butt we’re pals now.

Of course everything in Lady M’s garden is not happy and smiles. Some, on the evil side, are downright scary:

Well, now I’m a little hungry. So I’ll leave you to discuss your own garden finds (good or evil) and your favorite root vegetable recipes. And remember, root vegetables are decorative as well as delicious

and Halloween is just around the corner…

Reporting from the Big White Organic Garden of Good and Evil,

This is Cub Reporter Little Mo.

Coming soon: Kick up the protein content of your root vegetable recipes:

Our Reluctant Warrior: Obama Discovers the Guns of Autumn. Reluctantly.

 

“He found himself wondering at times, especially in the autumn, about the wild lands, and strange visions of mountains that he had never seen came into his dreams.” - ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

 

Those “wild lands?” Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt…

Those strange visions?

It’s called “war,” sir. It’s what the military does when necessary.

Oddly enough, at times it looks a lot like George W. Bush’s war against the evil doers.

In order to justify dropping bombs, BHO felt obliged to apologize for America once again, while deftly employing the always popular moral equivalency slight of hand:

“America’s critics will be quick to point out that at times, we too have failed to live up to our ideals; that America has plenty of problems within our own borders. This is true.”

“In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions. And like every country, we continually wrestle with how to reconcile the vast changes wrought by globalization and greater diversity with the traditions that we hold dear.”

 

Curiously, those “traditions that we hold dear” are not sufficiently diverse to include stoning or beheading those who will not submit and forcing our chattel to live in burka jails. I think Big Guy apologized for that oversight.

 

And speaking of the “guns of Autumn”, not to be outdone by the Commander And Chief, Lady M piled on while addressing an education event at the UN:

“Women here are still woefully underrepresented in our government and the senior ranks of corporations. We still struggle with violence against woman and harmful cultural norms that tell woman how they are expected to look and act.”

More moral equivalency, in black and white

Apparently, still not proud of America. Neither of them.

NOTE: I’LL BE GONE FOR A “GIRLIE” MIRROR WEEKEND STARTING TOMORROW, BUTT DON’T WORRY, LITTLE MO SAID HE’D POST SOMETHING IN MY ABSENCE. I SURE HOPE IT’S NOT GOING TO BE ABOUT ROOT VEGETABLES AGAIN. I’VE SEEN ENOUGH RUTABAGA AND TURNIP PORN TO LAST A LIFETIME.

SEE YOU MONDAY!

Look at that crease! YOU Have Potential…

How are those crisp trouser creases working out for you?

Not so well, apparently:

As the midterm campaigns heat up, Democratic candidates are turning to the White House for help and an injection of star power. But it is the first lady, not President Barack Obama, —who in some places is emerging as the more sought-after campaigner. – WSJ

And why not?  Is she not the complete package?  She has the enthusiastic political greeting wave down pat:

She can stay on message:

And she’s very good at faking enthusiasm,

…and sincerity:

She can also be very persuasive:

“I said, eat your damn peas.”

And she knows just how to cajole voters:

I’m certain she can show candidates how to cross the finish line:

She is so ready: even her trousers seem as well creased as Big Guy’s are these days:

Of course she still needs to work on her military “salute”  - it still looks a bit more like a black power salute:

Then again, so does her husband’s:

So I’m going to say we’re all set to go - Lady M to the rescue!

In her speeches, Mrs. Obama rarely makes mention of Democrats and Republicans, speaking only of "we" and "they."

At the campaign event in Georgia, she told the crowd that "if we lose these midterm elections, it's going to be a whole lot harder to finish what we started."  WaPo

So let’s get our game on!

"The First Lady has – and will continue to be – a tremendous asset for Democrats on the ballot in November," said Michael Czin, spokesman for the DNC. "She has a unique ability to make what’s at stake in this election crystal clear.”

Winning!

As they say: “lead, follow or get out of the way.”

"(He) is going to do everything he can to help the candidates," the official said. "In some cases, that may mean staying out of the way."

Specifically, in this case:

And you have potential…

Oh, boy…
