In recent days, the conservative website WorldNetDaily has in three separate articles falsely claimed that Education Department official Kevin Jennings "counseled a 15-year-old student to keep quiet about being seduced by an older man." In fact, the student Jennings counseled was 16 -- the legal age of consent -- and there is no evidence that Jennings told the student to "keep quiet."
From an October 20 article by widely discredited WND writer and repeat Fox News guest Jerome Corsi:
Look who's married to Obama's media 'controller'; Official attacking network, anti-'birther' lawyer a couple
Attacking Fox News and defending President Barack Obama is a family affair for Anita Dunn, the White House communications director who has blasted Fox as an arm of the Republican Party and talked about "controlling" the news media.
She's married to Robert Bauer, the chief of the political law group at Perkins Coie, the Seattle law firm hired by the White House to defend President Obama in court cases challenging his "natural born" citizenship status in the United States and thus, his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution to be president.
Dunn is targeting Fox News with criticisms emanating from the administration that it isn't even a news network, while Bauer has done his best to prevent the American public from seeing a wide range of President Obama's records that could prove, or disprove, his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office under the Constitution's requirement that the president be a "natural born" citizen.
Documents concerning Obama that the White House has refused to release to the public include his long-form birth certificate and his passport records, as well as other records that may possibly be relevant, such as records regarding Obama's possible adoption by his Indonesian stepfather or college application and tuition financial aid records which would reveal whether Obama was ever registered as a foreign student.
From Pat Buchanan's October 20 WorldNetDaily "Commentary":
Progressives are the folks who, in the 1960s, could easily understand that urban riots that took scores of lives and destroyed billions in property were an inevitable reaction to racism, poverty and despair. They could empathize with the rage of campus radicals who burned down the ROTC building and bombed the Pentagon.
The "dirty, immoral war in Vietnam" explains why the "finest generation we have ever produced" is behaving like this, they said. We must deal with the "root causes" of social disorder.
Yet, they cannot comprehend what would motivate Middle America to distrust its government, for it surely does, as Ron Brownstein reports in the National Journal:
"Whites are not only more anxious, but also more alienated. Big majorities of whites say the past year's turmoil has diminished their confidence in government, corporations and the financial industry. ... Asked which institution they trust most to make economic decisions in their interest, a plurality of whites older than 30 pick 'none' - a grim statement."
Is all this due to Obama's race?
Even Obama laughs at that. As he told David Letterman, I was already black by the time I was elected. And he not only got a higher share of the white vote than Kerry or Gore, a third of white voters, who said in August 2008 that race was an important consideration in voting, said they were going to vote for Obama.
With black voters going 24 to 1 for Obama, he almost surely won more votes than he lost because of his race.
WorldNetDaily, followed by the Drudge Report and Fox Nation, falsely claimed that during a January 12 speech, White House communications director Anita Dunn boasted about the White House's "control" over the media. In fact, Dunn was discussing the Obama campaign's strategy for controlling the campaign's message, not the media; moreover, her comments were made before Obama had taken office and before she became communications director.
Repeated Fox News segments reported that, in Bret Baier's words, "Republican lawmakers say the Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR, is trying to infiltrate Capitol Hill by placing interns in key positions," an allegation stemming from a right-wing book whose author has a history of making outrageous and anti-Islamic assertions and is published by WorldNetDaily, which has its own history of making outrageous allegations and inflammatory remarks. Moreover, the document that Republican Reps. Sue Myrick (NC), John Shadegg (AZ), Paul Broun (GA), and Trent Franks (AZ) cited as evidence of CAIR's alleged activities is stolen and does not support their claims.
From an October 8 column by WorldNetDaily columnists Floyd and Mary Beth Brown:
As a moderator of discussion on the blog www.exposeobama.com, Floyd has observed the discussion of impeachment is mushrooming amongst conservative activists.
Impeachment is no more or less than the recall of an elected official who isn't up to the job. Obama deserves recall much more than Gov. Gray Davis, and he was replaced by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in a special recall election Oct. 7, 2003, in California.
America is a monument to the triumph of freedom. When Barack Obama thinks about freedom, he sees a world in which some people, due to personal initiative and good fortune, will do better than others. In that regard, he is right. But Barack Obama sees that as unfair. Where you see freedom, liberty and the opportunity for any American to be all that he or she can be, Obama sees greed and bigotry.
Like so many on the far-left before him, going all the way back to Karl Marx, he believes that it's his mission to promote "equality of outcome" over "equality of opportunity." This worldview makes Barack Hussein Obama a very dangerous man, and a threat to your personal liberty.
Worldview explains why he has gobbled-up major banks and why the government now controls more and more of our money. And if you wake up one day to discover you're broke, don't be surprised. Barack Hussein Obama is Bernie Madoff with the political power of the presidency at his disposal.
Worldview explains why Obama intends to take away your freedom to choose your own doctor and your own treatment. Wherever government controls health care, bureaucrats decide who gets treatments, transplants, dialysis and costly medication.
The groundswell of calls for the impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama is growing.
In the column, WND promoted its "Exclusive!" "IMPEACH Obama Magnetic Bumper Sticker" with the promotional text, "Let the world know your solution to tyranny and socialism in America with the magnetic bumper sticker: 'IMPEACH OBAMA!'"
WND also has an online poll asking readers, "FIRED WITH ENTHUSIASM: What do you think of the call to impeach President Obama?" From the poll's top 5 responses:
Following their discredited and homophobic smears of Department of Education official Kevin Jennings, the right-wing media is at it again, this time using anti-gay rhetoric to target Chai Feldblum, President Obama's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) nominee. Rather than address Feldblum's qualifications, right-wing media have advanced their anti-gay agenda by targeting statements made by Feldblum and a statement she signed that have nothing to do with the job for which she has been nominated.
From WorldNetDaily editor and CEO Joseph Farah's October 6 column, headlined "Obama's freak show":
But this guy, Barack Obama, is giving us all more than we bargained for in the way of craziness, chaos, radicalism, extremism and immorality on a scale that would possibly make even Bill Clinton blush. Well, maybe not that much.
We've got a homosexual activist by the name of Kevin Jennings as czar of "safe schools." Talk about the fox guarding the chicken coop! This guy is a disciple of Harry Hay, founder of Radical Faeries and a longtime advocate for the North American Man-Boy Love Association. Do you feel like your child is safe with him in charge of school safety?
Then there's science czar John Holdren who wrote in a college textbook that "illegitimate children" born to unwed mothers should be seized by the government and put up for adoption if the mother refuses to have an abortion. He also argued the Constitution supports "compulsory" abortion.
Then there's Cass Sunstein, the regulatory czar, who explains that embryos are "just a handful of cells" and that an adult dog is more rational than a human baby.
Now come the revelations about his nominee to be commissioner of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission - Chai Feldblum.
She signed a manifesto praising polygamy and arguing traditional marriage should not be privileged above other forms of union.
Another outspoken homosexual-rights activist - it seems almost a prerequisite in the Obama administration - she is a signatory to an online petition entitled "Beyond Same-Sex Marriage: A New Strategic Vision For All Our Families and Relationships." Among the stated "partnerships" the petition seeks to protect is "households in which there is more than one conjugal partner."
She also proclaimed gay sex as "morally good" - not just neutral, mind you, but something God apparently smiles upon.
I wonder what kind of database Obama uses to locate people like this? Is it Monster.com? That would be appropriate. Or is it FreaksUnlimited.com? Maybe Obamanations.com? No, it's got to be Perverts.gov.
I'm telling you, the entire federal government is going to have to be fumigated some day when these deviants and degenerates are finally sent packing.
The smear campaign continues: Fox Nation, Washington Examiner manufacture Jennings-NAMBLA link
Hannity falsely claims science adviser Holdren "advocated compulsory abortion"
Right-wing media's relentless attacks supported by flagrant falsehoods
The latest target in the Glenn Beck-driven conservative media witch hunt for Obama administration "czars" is Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools director Kevin Jennings. In their attacks on Jennings, numerous conservative media figures have resorted to thinly veiled homophobic appeals to paint Jennings, who is gay, as a "radical" "gay activist" with an "agenda" of "promoting homosexuality in schools," and have misrepresented or distorted Jennings' previous comments about religion and tolerance.
From Roger Hedgecock's September 28 WorldNetDaily column, headlined, "Dead Census worker: Victim of open borders?"
Two weeks ago, Census taker Bill Sparkman died choking, hands and feet bound, hanging naked from a tree in a remote site in Daniel Boone National Forest in Clay County, Ky. Someone had scrawled "fed" on his chest with a felt-tipped pen.
Last week, Sparkman's death became fodder for more attacks on "right-wing violence." Bloggers wanted to "send the body to Glenn Beck," and a Time magazine piece speculated that Sparkman was a victim of the culture of another McCain-voting Southern state
Now it looks more like Sparkman was yet another victim of illegal drug operations on national forest land, and possibly also a victim of our still open border with Mexico.
Taking the Census in our national forests is dangerous business. Law enforcement sources say meth labs and marijuana plantations are "prevalent" in the area of Sparkman's death. Did he stumble across a drug operation in the Daniel Boone National Forest? No one is saying for sure, but the locals believe it.[...]
Our open border with Mexico has been changing American society in a number of unpleasant ways. These fires, these destroyed national forest lands, and maybe even Bill Sparkman's death, may just be the latest way.
Right-wing blogger wonders if murdered census worker was a pedophile
Hedgecock leads FAIR's 2009 rally
On Dobbs, Hedgecock claimed HUD said "about 5 million illegal alien home mortgage loans ... have gone bad," but HUD reportedly says stat is bogus
BigGovernment.com is currently touting a post by Matthew Vadum -- who has a history of overheated attacks on Obama -- profiling the Right's latest target: Obama White House political affairs director Patrick Gaspard.
"Evidence shows that years before he joined the Obama administration, Gaspard was ACORN boss Bertha Lewis's political director in New York," Vadum writes, working under then-state leader and current ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis. "Obama's statement that he's barely aware of ACORN's problems is nothing short of ridiculous, especially so because Patrick Gaspard was a political director for ACORN New York."
Curiously missing from Vadum's post are the exact dates that Gaspard was political director for ACORN New York -- he states only that it was "years before." That omission tells us that we can presume it was many years before.
Nevertheless, Vadum takes this opportunity to ramp up the crazy: "With Gaspard at work in the White House, Lewis might as well be speaking to President Obama through an earpiece as he goes about his daily business ruining the country." Manchurian candidate, anyone?
Apparently taking his cues from Glenn Beck, Vadum also throws in the usual guilt-by-association conspiracy-mongering between ACORN and SEIU.
Meanwhile, WorldNetDaily is claiming that it has "unearthed!" Obama's "twisted ACORN roots." Actually, there's no new information in this article -- it's all compiled from previous reports. And some of those claims are false or misleading:
Responding to President Obama's September 8 back-to-school address, the text of which was posted online on September 7, several conservative media figures have echoed Florida Republican Party chairman Jim Greer's assertion that Obama altered his speech after "the White House got their hand in the cookie jar caught." Numerous media conservatives, as well as Greer, had previously made the baseless charge that Obama would use the speech to push an ideological agenda or indoctrinate children.
The Next Right's Jon Henke -- who called for a conservative boycott of WorldNetDaily and conservative groups who support it through advertising and renting its mailing list -- has tried to get a response out of the Republican National Committee, one of the groups that has rented WND's mailing list, "to inquire about it and encourage them to stop."
It's not going well. The first response was: "Pls note that we have already weighed in on the birther issue -- weeks ago. Thanks." To that was appended a New York Times article containing another response to the birther issue. Henke nnotes:
So, the sum total of the RNC's response was (a) Obama is "a U.S. citizen", but (b) we want to ignore this Birther story, (c) we're not saying whether or not we're working with the Birthers, and (d) we're just going to completely ignore the actual question you asked.
Henke then sent more questions, to which the RNC has yet to respond. Henke concludes:
In the 1960's, Goldwater and a few Republicans had the integrity and guts to denounce the irresponsible fringe in the fevered swamps of the Right. Today, as far as I can tell, the Republican National Committee works with them.
From Erik Rush's September 3 WorldNetDaily column:
Football legend and actor O.J. Simpson was a truly beloved American icon. The quintessential American success story, he projected an amicable, wholesome, larger-than-life figure. His triumphs were even more noteworthy because he was a black man who had risen to fame and fortune during the Civil Rights Movement era.
In 1995, Simpson was put on trial for the murders of Nicole Brown (his second ex-wife) and a male friend. As a result, authorities and the press were able to delve into his affairs as no one had previously done. Only then did Americans learn that he was a beast and a brute, an obsessively controlling, chronic wife beater, emotional abuser and philanderer. In short, he was a pathological narcissist for whom whimsy, pleasure and image were paramount. Worse, his behavior had been validated and reinforced by the fact that he had been catered to by those around him, personally and professionally, for decades. After beating the murder rap, Simpson continued to manipulate and bully those around him. Twelve years later, his capricious conduct earned him a lengthy prison sentence for numerous firearms charges, robbery, burglary, assault and kidnapping.
Many Americans, and even a few trained in behavioral science, have identified President Obama as a deeply pathological narcissist. He has also managed to masterfully control his environment. While his detractors contend that his façade has been maintained by a complicit press, this may only be partially true. According to experts, the profoundly narcissistic frequently astonish casual observers when the extent of control they have been able to maintain over their environment (primarily, people close to them) is finally revealed ... Given the determination with which our president has hidden certain other personal information, it is probable that there are a few aspects thereof that he perceives might damage him politically, if not personally or even legally.
Rush has also likened Obama to a "cellblock rapist" and called Attorney General Eric Holder "another floatie in the septic tank that is the Obama administration."
(h/t Right Wing Watch)
WorldNetDaily founder and editor Joseph Farah is responding to news of a conservative boycott against supporters of his "news" organization in the expected way -- by demonstrating why conservatives would want to boycott WND in the first place.
In his Sept. 1 WND column, Farah dismisses the Next Right writer who proposed the boycott, Jon Henke, as "this fellow I have never known nor associated with nor even heard of," then misportrays Henke's post, suggesting he was moved to support a boycott solely "because of an article he read in the Boston Herald last week." In fact, it's clear from Henke's post that the Herald article was merely the last straw, not the entire rationale.
Farah then complains that the Boston Herald article in question offered only a "partial quote," taken "out-of-context," from a Feb. 1 WND article by Jerome Corsi suggesting that the federal government wants "to create the type of detention center" that "could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany." Corsi, Farah insisted, offered a "much more nuanced and accurate statement."
But actual nuance would have required Corsi to tell all sides of the story -- not just the point of view of "those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs" but what the sposnor of the bill in question, Rep. Alcee Hastings, has said about it.
On Jan. 22 -- nine days before Corsi's article was published -- Hastings issued a press release on his sponsorship of the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act, which would "create six National Emergency Centers throughout the United States to better respond to national emergencies":
The Centers would provide temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance, including education for individuals and families displaced due to an emergency. In addition, the Centers will also serve as a centralized location for the training and coordination of first responders in the instance of an emergency.
"The lack of natural disaster preparedness efforts and temporary housing options for disaster-stricken citizens has only exacerbated an unbearable situation. Deficient recovery responses have led to elongated recovery rates in my district and across this nation," said Congressman Hastings.
"We have an obligation to better prepare and more adequately respond to the needs of communities hit by natural disasters. We have a responsibility to ensure that basic needs of disaster victims are met immediately following the devastation. Our nation was not prepared for the disastrous hurricanes that struck Florida and the Gulf Coast in 2004 and in 2005. The enactment of this legislation will help to ensure that our government is able to adequately respond to families and individuals displaced due to an emergency."
Corsi reported none of this. Instead, the only quote of Hastings in his article was of a 2008 statement critical of Sarah Palin -- which is completely irrelevant to the bill in question. Corsi's only goal in this article was to ridicule Hastings and fearmonger about the bill he introduced.
Farah goes on to complain that other organizations reported on the boycott, including Media Matters. He then defends the organization he founded:
I didn't found WorldNetDaily to be esteemed by my colleagues.
I didn't found it to make People for the American Way or Media Matters happy.
I didn't found it because I wanted to be part of the "conservative" movement.
I founded it because there was a crying need for an independent brand of journalism beholden only to the truth.
WND is "beholden only to the truth"? Not so much.
Farah concludes: "I hope you appreciate that WorldNetDaily difference." Of course, "that WorldNetDaily difference" -- fearmongering, hatred and falsehoods -- is exactly why people like Jon Henke want to boycott WND.

Urbana, IA (PRWEB) October 30, 2013
US Cargo Control, a leading retailer serving the transportation, moving, rigging, and lifting sling industries, has announced its new EZ Ship Canada program for its e-commerce business.
The customer-focused initiative was rolled out earlier this month and is the growing company's first move into international shipping. It was developed to offer Canadian customers an easy option for purchasing from the company without the hassle of added customs fees or extended shipping times.
"Because the duties and tariffs issues associated with shipping out of the country can get complicated with customs fees, we wanted to make shopping with us as easy as possible for our customers," says the company's freight manager, Joe Rauch.
Highlights of the program include:
The new Canadian program is part of an overall service and sales development initiative across several areas of the growing company in 2013. In February, the business created a production department to sew and assemble its extensive line of tie down straps on-site. The number of employees has also nearly doubled since the second quarter, with new staff contributing in the areas of sales, service, and manufacturing. Rauch says the planning and preparation for the Canadian shipping program has been extensive, yet extremely rewarding.
"We've had a goal for some time now to be able to offer our Canadian customers an easy shipping option with an inclusive customs fees platform and faster shipping timelines," said Rauch. "We're thrilled that the new EZ Ship program encompasses both of those priorities."
About US Cargo Control
US Cargo Control is a leader in cargo control industry, specializing in lifting slings, cargo control, rigging equipment and moving supplies. Focused on offering quality products, timely delivery, and an excellent customer experience, customers can purchase products on the company's website, USCargoControl.com or by phone at 866-444-9990.

Currently, residential and small commercial customers of Nicor Gas, North Shore Gas and Peoples Gas can choose to purchase
their natural gas supply from a certified Alternative Gas Supplier (AGS). Natural Gas choice programs are currently not available
in the Ameren Illinois territories or territories of other natural gas utilities.
An AGS is a business that provides natural gas to residential and small business customers in a competitive market. To do
business in Illinois, an AGS must be certified by the ICC and registered with the local utility.
No. If you do nothing, or don't want to switch to an AGS, your utility will continue to supply your natural gas.
You should continue to call your gas utility. Your utility is responsible for the safe and reliable delivery of the natural
gas to your home or business, whether you purchase your gas from the utility or from another supplier.
It depends on the supplier you choose. You may receive one bill or two. You may continue to receive one bill from your gas
utility that details the AGS charges separately on that bill. The AGS may also issue a single bill that includes the delivery
charges for your utility. Or you could receive separate bills – one from your utility for delivery service charges and another
from the AGS for supply charges. You should ask the AGS when you are shopping which billing method they will use.
Whether or not you save money will depend on several things: How much you pay now for the natural gas you purchase; how much
natural gas you use; and your agreement with the supplier.
Each AGS is different. Before switching, ask the AGS if they have programs that meet your payment needs.
Yes. But, you should check the terms of your agreement for any early termination penalties that may apply. By law, an AGS
may not charge a termination penalty greater than $50 on any contracts signed after April 10, 2009. If you choose to go back
to purchasing gas from your utility, you must choose a new supplier within 120 days or you will be required to remain on utility
supply service for a period of one year.
If your questions relate to the delivery portion of your bill, including the amount you are being charged for the delivery of gas,
you should call your natural gas utility. For questions about the supply portion of the bill, including the price you are paying
for the supply of gas, call the supplier. Your utility and all AGS are required to have a call center available to answer your
questions during business hours. And if you have a complaint, your utility and AGS are required to have a complaint resolution process
in place. Numbers for both the utility and the AGS can be found on your bill. If you are not satisfied with the outcome after
contacting the utility or AGS, you may call the ICC Consumer Services Division at 1-800-524-0795.

Secondly, I'll stand by the statement (with a slight clarification). There is not one player you can point to right now and say they look like they have a good chance to make multiple All-Star teams at the major league level- the same way it looked like when we had four with Jay Bruce, Joey Votto, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey a few years back, or even last year when we had Mesoraco, Alonso and Grandal. Not one at the moment.
Billy Hamilton looks exciting but even in the upside scenario he looks like a speedier Luis Castillo, Deion Sanders or Juan Pierre. Without any power to speak of, it will be an uphill battle for him to be a multiple-time All-Star.
Daniel Corcino is the best pitching prospect in the system, but he really profiles as a #2 or strong #3 starter. If you had to project him now, he may make an All-Star team in his career year, but at his best looks like he is a slightly worse Johnny Cueto.
Donald Lutz probably has the best chance of any prospect at this point to prove me wrong, but he is currently on the DL in High A ball. He could do it, but if forced to make a 50/50 bet I'd bet against, given his age, position and development at this point.
Stephenson has the upside but it is far too early to tell. The point is I'd like to see more prospects injected into the system with his potential upside, which would greatly increase the chance of landing a potential future All-Star. I'm not complaining about the fruit that this farm system has bore in the past five years- it has certainly been plentiful. I'd just like to see that pipeline continue, as right now it is looking as bare in terms of upside as it has been in almost a decade.
Of the people you name, I will go out on a limb and proclaim that Mike Costanzo, DiDi Gregorius, Tucker Barnhart and Donnie Joseph will never be major league All-Stars. I'll be happy to be wrong, but I seriously doubt it.

This was a very rich and yummy cake. I used frozen blueberries and since I did not have the leftover juice, I just made a glaze from powdered sugar and milk. It was a hit!

Wedding guests: It's better to be overdressed
Wedding guests: It's better to be overdressed
By Joy Sewing | June 28, 2009
Wedding guests help set the mood of the wedding day.
Dress up. It's better to be overdressed at a wedding than look too casual. If invitation says, casual, the furthest you should take it is a floaty cocktail dress or simple sheath. For a black-tie wedding, a long formal dress is always appropriate, but if you go short, go knee-length.
Take a hint. The location of the wedding indicates the attire. If it's in a ballroom or country club, chances are the dress code is more conservative.
Embrace color. All black is too severe. Go for jewel tones — green and blue. Stay away from white, whether you're at the rehearsal dinner or reception. White should be reserved for the bride.

The BBQ grill master's class
Carving Board
A large wood cutting board is convenient for BBQ prep work and carving the biggest of roasts, and wood is easier on your knives. It's a good idea to have more than one—dice onion and garlic on one, and cut up meat on another. Make sure it's large enough to do a clean job (at least 12 x 15 inches) and has a well to catch all the juices. Place it on a damp dishcloth or paper towel to prevent sliding. See our pick.

Lucy Lee Videos Favorite
Picture courtesy of
Anarchy Films
Lucy Lee is a full-blooded Korean beauty from Torrance, California. Her slim, athletic body and slightly punky look have made her a rising star in the gonzo scene, and not just in Asian-themed features. Vince Vouyer discovered her while she was dancing at a club in Hollywood, and her slender, all-natural 32-24-32 body kept him coming back: before long she made her first movie for Red Light District. She's been steaming up the screen ever since, notching more than a hundred titles since her debut.
Catch Lucy Lee on the way up -- check out Belladonna's FUCK ME, GRAND THEFT ANAL #7, Ty Endicott's SMOKIN' POV #5, BUNZAI and YELLOW FEVER.
