[NY Times] As gossip websites buzzed about Gwyneth Paltrow ...Eva Braun taste-alike, who's convinced herself that it would be wonderful if Obama were given all the power that he needs. She was married to a guitar player in a rock band, but now she's becoming long in the tooth so he's moved on to somebody else... and President B.O. -- her "you're so handsome that I can't speak properly" is already being mocked unmercifully -- her Los Angeles neighbors lashed out Friday that the Paltrow-hosted presidential fund-raiser had come at their expense.

A batty blonde ditz of Cohasset,
Not one to leave anything tacit,
Urged O, "Submit to it --
Sojourn in Scituate,
And I'll be your Madeleine Bassett!"
[BREITBART] The Seattle City Council has voted unanimously to celebrate "Indigenous Peoples' Day" on the same day as Columbus Day, the federally recognized holiday, reports the News Agency that Dare Not be Named (AP).
According to the AP report, the resolution that passed on Monday declares "Indigenous Peoples' Day" the second Monday of October and intends to honor the contributions and culture of Native Americans and the indigenous community in Seattle.
Supporters of the action said it will recognize the rich history of people who have inhabited the area for hundreds of years. And it's oh, so politically correct!

I'm OK with Igneous People's Day, as long as we celebrate Sedimentary People's Day and Metamorphic People's Day too. It's only fair.

Columbus was not a very nice guy by today's standards. Really, not even by 15th century standards. But nice guys seldom try high risk ventures like his, and even more seldom (if ever) succeed.

Lewis and Clark thought the local indians (Chinooks) that inhabited the colombia river area all the way to puget sound were pigs then too

Columbus was not a very nice guy by today's standards. Really, not even by 15th century standards.
Those were not nice times in Europe; the reconquest of Spain, muslim piracy/slaving, Ottoman expansion, and the Christian schism building into the Protestant Revolution. All the nice people were enslaved or killed.
Champlain notes how much fun some natives had in dispatching their war captives, and he was up in what we would consider towards civilized behavior. There were not nice things going on with the Natives among Natives either. In fact they then could probably not conceive what we consider nice or we understand the absolute fatalism of that era.

We all should be grateful for the things that the stone age civilizations brought to the world on its opening in 1492. Oh wait, 'human progress' would only occur through the outside world's civs.
Do I detect in the usual Left's driven self hatred of Western Civ a deep desire to return the world back to that stone age? Exempting themselves, the ruling caste, of course.

Odd... When the Native Americans of Washington State wanted to hunt whales since that was their 'tradition' and they chased it all the way up to the U.N. When they got permissions and starting hunting they did it using modern gas-powered boats, large caliber cannons guns, radar, and all the advantages of an industrialized nation.
No dugout canoes, spears and, everybody lining up to haul the carcass onto the beach for them.

If you're around Boston on Thanksgiving, head on down to Plymouth for the National Day of Mourning Parade. Every couple of years some of the "indigenous" peoples get a little too much into the firewater and gets a nice little riot going with the Plymouth PD.
In a perfect world, Democrats would love to the 2014 midterm elections to be all about the economy. But in 2014, the world has been far from perfect. And Democrats say it's hard to grab the public's attention and focus it on a slowly improving economy with crises popping up at home and abroad.
"August was Ebola. It was ISIS. It was Ukraine," Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY), the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told a small group of reporters Monday morning. "Global issues dominated. And in September, those issues continued to dominate. And so, part of the headwind was it did make it a little more difficult for us to break through on those middle-class economic contrasts when people were so focused on global issues."
Friday's jobs report was the latest promising signal that the economy is gaining momentum heading into the fall. President Barack Obama has also touted the slowly-but-surely improving US economy, most prominently during what the White House billed as a major economic address at Northwestern University last week. But polls suggest many Americans aren't feeling the economic recovery in their own pockets, something Rep. Israel acknowledged Monday and President Obama admitted last week.
A recent survey released by the Pew Research Center found that overall, Americans are still pessimistic about the economy. Overall, 56% of Americans say their incomes are "falling behind" the cost of living, which is about the same number who said so during the height of the financial crisis in October 2008. And nearly half -- 45% -- say they have gone through at least one financial hardship in the past year, such as a job layoff, an inability to pay for healthcare, or trouble with a collection agency.
Last week, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the first case of Ebola within the country, a story that grabbed leading headlines nationwide. Since the US launched airstrikes in Iraq in early August, meanwhile, Americans have been focused on the fight to combat the extremist group calling itself the Islamic State, and also known as ISIS or ISIL.
Israel said the key to electoral success was getting Democrats' economic message through the rest of the noise.
"Voters intuitively know that Democrats have the backs of the middle class," he said. "And Republicans support the special interests. And if they believe that the special interests are getting ahead faster than they are, they're going to vote for Democrats. Our imperative is to make sure that that message is amplified in our battleground districts. And when it is, we're competitive."

The Dems would love the 2014 to be about the economy? Latest claims are that it's better than when he took office. 6 years to return to status quo is worth embarrssement, tar and feathers.
Yeah, but the ones who do believe it are already Democrats.

Exactly Frozen Al.
#5 The Dems would love the 2014 to be about the economy? Except that the economy has been in a tailspin the last few days. Very volatile and few believe the employment numbers or any other numbers coming out of Washington.
Think there will be an October surprise of some sort?

"If you pay attention to local politics long enough, you'll no doubt hear the phrase: "I've never heard of a camera that Sheila Jackson Lee didn't love."
[Iran Press TV] An eminent US senator says Americans are getting sick and tired of the Middle East region, particularly of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , and calls on Riyadh to send troops to fight the ISIL terrorist group.
Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... , one of the US Senate's leading liberals, made the remarks on CNN's "State of the Union" program broadcast on Sunday.
He said that the United States' allies have not participated forcefully in the US-led Arclight airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq and Syria because "they believe that the American taxpayers... and American soldiers ultimately will do it."
"This is not just an American problem. This is an international crisis. This is a regional crisis," Sanders stated.
