She also says that she and her friends make it a point to move copies of this book over to the section with the other gay-parenting books whenever they’re in Borders.
Speaking of Beck, did you hear that he’ll be leaving his Fox News show shortly? Given the fact that he’s been hemorrhaging sponsors for the past year, and losing viewers steadily, it’s not a big surprise, but I did find it interesting that they’re positioning it as though he’s moving on to bigger and better things. The press release that I saw said that he’ll be leaving his Fox News show so that he could focus on developing ideas for television, which I think is like saying that someone has left his job as Mayor to focus on his campaign to run for Mayor.

I think it’s just the color of Timmy’s pants, but, when I first saw this, I thought that he was nude from the waist down.
This is the main reason that don’t want to see Borders go out of business. Sneaking into an Amazon warehouse and moving an Ann Coulter book to the sex-change section isn’t anywhere near as rewarding.
This made my day.
It’s probably a mistake to get too excited about Beck’s exit from Fox news. He’ll land somewhere else, probably someplace less partisan than Fox news, and will continue. He also still has a wide and firm stranglehold on talk radio, the real outlet for what he does best. Radio is by far where his, umm…talent?, lies. It’s also where the real crazies reside. His cancer-like influence will continue to remain strong, probably for decades. And radio is more dangerous in some respects. While his bs on tv gets coverage and criticism from his peers, his radio gets sort of ignored. He’s on for a much longer period of time via the radio, and gets away with anything he wants to say. For the most part, these messages get ignored by the media at large.
i think they make a very cute couple.
moving bibles to the science fiction section is also a good one.
thank you for the first belly laugh I have had in many days! Freakin funny, gonna have to share this with friends!
Cue the random right-wing URL-filled rant by “HaterSalad” in 3 … 2 … 1 …
I thin CBS should consider that cover as a jump off for the new “Two and a Half Men.”
Here’s the book cover for the sequel; “Timmy, I lost my job, and your other daddy has left us!”

In related news, since this announcement chalk futures have plummeted.
I thought it was not progressive to make fun of gays.
Who was making fun of gays?
I predict that within two years, he’ll reemerge as a progressive, like Arianna Huffington did.
If You Are Known by the Company You Keep, What do Obama’s Associates Say About Him?
October 26, 2009 by Bob Livingston
In the Aesop’s Fable, The Ass and His Purchaser, a man looking to buy a donkey wanted to test the animal before completing the purchase. So he put the donkey in his field with the other donkeys to see what would happen.
The donkey immediately strayed from the majority of the herd and cozied up to the laziest donkey of all.
Seeing that, the man led the donkey back to his owner. When the owner asked how he could judge the donkey’s character so quickly the man explained, “I didn’t even need to see how he worked. I knew he would be just like the one he chose to be his friend.”
A person is known by the company he keeps.
Fables are popular because they tell the story of the way things in life really work. In business, when someone takes over a department or company, that person promotes those he or she likes to positions of authority. The new manager seeks out those who have a philosophy, work ethic and disposition similar to his.
One would expect a president to do the same thing. After all, a president is elected—supposedly—based on the vision, ideas and proposals he championed during the campaign. It would then make sense that he would put in place those who supported his vision and would therefore be enthusiastic in working to achieve it.
So who are President Barack Obama’s friends, and who has he put in charge of the effort to enact his policies? And what do the friends he has chosen and the people he has put in position of authority in his administration say about him?
Following, in alphabetical order, is a list of some of Obama’s friends, advisors and people charged with enacting his policies:
William Ayers—Now a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Ayers spent 10 years as a fugitive in the 1970s when he was part of the domestic terrorist organization known as the Weather Underground. In the early 1970s the Weather Underground was responsible for bombing the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C., and setting a bomb that didn’t go off at a military induction center in Oakland, Calif. The group also murdered two policemen and a Brink’s truck driver in a botched armored car robbery, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) website. Ayers surrendered to face charges in the 1980s, but the charges were dropped because of improper surveillance. Coincidentally, on Sept. 11, 2001, Ayers was being interviewed about a book he had written and he told the interviewer he didn’t think the Weather Underground had done enough. Ayers and Obama first crossed paths in Chicago in the 1990s and served together on the board of the not-for-profit Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a boondoggle to spend tens of millions of dollars for their pet “education” projects. Obama downplayed his friendship with Ayers as casual, but evidence indicates their relationship was much more. Many now believe that Ayers penned Obama’s “autobiography” Dreams from My Father.
Carol Browner—Obama’s Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy, Browner is an avowed socialist. She served as one of 14 leaders of Socialist International’s Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for global governance and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change, according to an article in The Washington Times. The group supports socialism and has been harshly critical of U.S. policies. She is also a supporter of smart growth policies, as we have described previously. Browner also served on the board of Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, though her name was scrubbed from the site after Obama tapped her for the director’s position. Not surprisingly, Obama’s transition team told The Times Browner’s membership in a socialist organization was not a problem.
Frank Marshall Davis—You won’t find Davis’ name on an organizational chart of White House staff, but he was instrumental in forming the political philosophy of Barack Hussein Obama. Called “Uncle Frank” in Dreams from My Father, Davis was a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), according to a 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii. Obama has admitted to spending time with Uncle Frank—who he cryptically describes as being a person of some modest notoriety at one time—and listening to his poetry and getting career path advice. Davis may also have been a pedophile. Writing under the pseudonym Bob Greene, Davis wrote a debased pornographic novel entitled, Sex Rebel: Black (Memiors of a Gash Gourmet), in which he describes group sex encounters and sex he and his wife had with a 13-year-old girl named Anne. Davis died in 1987.
Anita Dunn—As White House Communications advisor, Dunn has been seen a lot lately as the face of the Obama administration’s strategy to try and discredit Fox News. She is described on Politico.com as a veteran Democratic strategist and top advisor on Obama’s presidential campaign. As the war between the Obama White House (see more under Rham Emmanual) and Fox has escalated, videotape has surfaced showing Dunn gloating over how the campaign “controlled” the media. Another videotape surfaced showing Dunn speaking at a June high school graduation ceremony where she praised Marxist/Communist Chinese Premiere Mao Zedong as one of her favorite philosophers and one of the two people she turns to most. It’s difficult to understand how Mao had time to philosophize as he was busy killing somewhere between 50 million and 70 million of his country’s citizens during his 27-year reign of terror.
Ezekiel Emanuel—The president’s Special Advisor for Health Policy, Ezekiel is brother to White House Chief of Staff Rham Emanuel. Ezekiel is the source of Sarah Palin’s death panel idea. This Emanuel has written that he believes many healthcare treatments should be denied to those under 15 and over 65 to save money, the rationale being that only people between 15 and 65 are beneficial to society.
Rahm Emanuel—Obama’s White House Chief of Staff, Emanuel is a thug Chicago politician who once sent a two-and-a-half foot long, dead and decomposing fish to lobbyist Allen Secrest to express his displeasure. He’s known for his full-time use of gutter language and once told then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair just before an appearance with Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal: “This is important. Don’t f**k it up.” He also coined the phrase, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” He’s also behind the ridiculous policy of starting a fight with television news agency Fox News.
Chai Feldblum—Nominated by the president to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Feldblum signed a radical 2006 manifesto which endorsed polygamous households and argued traditional marriage should not be privileged “above all others,” according to a report in Catholic News Agency. According to a statement from the White House, Feldblum has worked on advancing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights…” She is co-director of Workplace Flexibility 2010, which she described at a UCLA symposium as a homosexual rights group that aimed to change the American workplace and revolutionize social mores, according to a report on the WorldnetDaily website.
Patrick Gaspard—White House Political Director, Gaspard was formerly a lobbyist for Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the organization that sent its thugs out to disrupt Tea Party protests and stir up trouble at town hall meetings in August. Prior to that, Gaspard worked as national field director for American Coming Together (ACT), a sub-group of the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). ACT was fined $775,000 in civil penalties by the federal government for various voter fraud offenses. You can read more about ACORN here.
Eric Holder—The Attorney General of the United States is an anti-gun racist who earlier this year referred to the United States as “a nation of cowards” on race relations. He also has an interesting take on justice. He worked to convince President Clinton to pardon billionaire fugitive Mark Rich (convicted of fraud and racketeering), Weather Underground (where have we heard of that organization before?) terrorists Susan Rosenberg and Linda Evans, and he declined to prosecute New Black Panther brutes who stood over a Pennsylvania polling station with baseball bats intimidating voters. Oh yes, he also wants to bring Guantanamo Bay prisoners to the United States.
John Holdren—Obama’s Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy is not only an abortion supporter, he is an abortion nut who believes that compulsory abortions could be sustained under the existing U.S. Constitution if a population crisis arose. He also supports mass sterilization of the U.S. population through lacing the country’s water supply with drugs. Holdren authored with two other people a book called Ecoscience promoting their loony ideas about population control and One World Government—or what they called a Planetary Regime—to regulate international trade, the food supply and determine the optimum population for the world.
Valerie Jarrett—The New York Times called Jarrett, Obama Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, the ultimate Obama insider. She has also been called the other half of Obama’s brain. She’s another one of those Chicago thug politicians who has gamed the system—including operating as a slum lord—for her own benefit. Her company, Habitat, Inc., managed the Grove Parc housing complex which was located in the district represented by State Senator Obama. As state senator, Obama coauthored a bill to give tax credits for developers which Jarrett used on the complex. As U.S. senator, Obama pressed for increased federal subsidies for like projects. Despite receiving government funds and tax credits, Grove Parc was ordered demolished because of its deplorable condition. She also served the administrations of Chicago mayors Harold Washington and Richard Daly, both scandal-plagued. Washington, by the way, was backed in his bid for mayor by Chicago’s Communist Party and the local branch of the Democratic Socialists of America. Called by the Washington Post a tutor to Obama and his wife Michelle, Jarrett is the step-daughter of Chicago journalist Vernon Jarrett. Vernon Jarrett was an associate of Frank Marshal Davis, Obama’s mentor, when Davis lived in Chicago prior to moving to Hawaii.
Kevin Jennings—This former school teacher and long-time gay rights activist was named Obama’s Safe Schools Czar. He has accused Baptists, the Boy Scouts and sports fans of anti-gay bias, and advocates a special high school for gay teens and gay-straight alliance clubs for every high school in America, according to a report in CNSNews.com. He believes that kindergartners should be taught to respect all sexual orientations while insisting that “ex-gay messages” and “Christian values” are misused to isolate or denigrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and have no place in the nation’s public schools, CNSNews.com reported. Oh yeah, he also supports pedophilia. While Jennings was a teacher, a minor student told Jennings that he was having gay sex with an adult. Jennings covered it up. He also has praised Harry Hay, a defender of the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which promotes legalization of sexual abuse of young boys by older men.
Van Jones—Once Obama’s White House Environmental Advisor, Jones was fired in the dead of night on a holiday weekend after a video surfaced in which he called Republicans a bodily orifice, and after a controversial document he signed was revealed. That document accused former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney of either planning or knowing about ahead of time the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In addition to being a 9/11 Truther, Jones is an avowed Communist. He was appointed to his position by Valerie Jarrett, who has been seen on video praising Jones and saying she and Obama had been watching Jones for a long time.
Mark Lloyd—FCC Diversity Czar, is also known as the man who wants to stifle free speech in America like Hugo Chavez does in Venezuela. He has been videotaped saying the Chavez revolution in Venezuela was almost lost because of the privately-owned media. Chavez, of course, is the Marxist dictator of Venezuela, personal friend to Communist dictator Fidel Castro of Cuba and Islamic terrorist dictator Mahmoud Ahmadenijad of Iran. In 2006, while at the liberal Center for American Progress, Lloyd wrote a book entitled, Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America. In it he presents the idea that all private broadcasters should be charged licensing fees at a rate equal to their operating expenses and that money should go to the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). In a 2007 report entitled The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio, Lloyd complains about the fact that people want to listen to Christian and conservative talk radio rather than liberal radio, and lists ways the Federal government can fix the “problem.” His solution would include caps on the number of local stations a corporation can own, ensure greater local accountability on radio licensing and require owners who fail to fulfill their obligations to pay a fee to support PBS.
Cecelia Munoz—Now White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, Munoz was previously Senior Vice President of The National Council of La Raza, the largest Hispanic lobbying organization in the country, which has called national anti-immigration groups “hate groups.” La Raza, which literally translates The Race, funds extremist groups and supports illegal immigration as a way of obtaining political power. The group advocates taking the Southwest U.S. for the purpose of creating a new Hispanic state.
Cass Sunstein—Recently confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Administrator of the White House Office of Administration and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein is a Harvard Law School professor and dingbat who has—in writings and speeches—called for a ban on all hunting and claims that animals should be represented by lawyers in animal abuse cases. He is a socialist who has advocated for gun control and heavy regulation of the Internet. He also wrote in his 2008 book, Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness, that he believes people’s organs can be harvested without their consent. Sunstein would like to see personal email communications regulated by the government and believes the Internet is anti-democratic because of the way users can filter out information of their own choosing.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright—Obama sat in Wright’s church for 20 years yet claims to have never heard any of the hate-filled racism that crossed his lips. Wright’s anti-Semitic, anti-American sermons came to light during the campaign. Among his claims: the U.S. government was responsible for infecting blacks with the virus that causes AIDS, America was responsible for the 9/11 attacks—“the chickens have come home to roost”—and Jews are responsible for ethnic cleansing in Gaza and are pressuring Obama associates to keep Wright and Obama separated.
These are just a few of the folks who have occupied or currently occupy Obama’s inner circle. He was passed off by the mainstream media as being a centrist and moderate, but many of friends are anything but that, and some are quite radical. And when you parse some of his words or find video or audio from several years ago you know that Obama himself has some radical views.
But the media ignored Obama’s ties to radicals and communists. That, and Obama’s soaring rhetoric led many otherwise thoughtful and good people down the primrose path, and they voted for him without realizing what they were getting.
But as the truth gets out about his associates, the cover is coming off. He’s becoming known by the company he keeps, as well as his own deeds.
The Democratic Party is going to do the worst thing in American history. We are in three wars, the last started by Barack Obama, putting off the budget for 2-1/2 years and now the Democrats do NOT want to pay the military for not doing their job last year when they had control of the House, Senate and Presidency. Pathetic!

A Chronicle of Barack Obama’s Failures:
http://bigpeace.com/shazlett/2011/04/08/a-chronicle-of-obamas-failures/
Yawn.
Taters getting really good with the control c function.
Tater Salad: Fuck you for harshing my buzz man.
Like everyone of you, TaterSalad has left a lot of doors open in determining IP identify. Any issues you have are best taken up with his mom. If you want her number, I’ll post it. But TS isn’t a functioning brain, it’s paste for profit.
Who are you to talk about Taters like that? He’s a patriotic American. Due to his morbid obesity, he may be unable to fight for our great country on the field of battle, but what he does here is every bit as courageous. Every cut and paste deposited here is like a Cruise missile delivered into the heart of ToraBora.
Do a google search for him. He collects disability and lives in canton. There’s even a picture of him.
Damn. Look. It’s a photo of Tater. Thanks for the tip.
http://tpartyus2010.ning.com/profile/TaterSalad
He’s exactly what I pictured.
If that is really Mr. Salad, he doesn’t look very disabled to me. Then again, that could be an old picture. He looks so happy in the bright sunshine! Leave the tea baggers and be happy again, Mr. Salad!
It’s not so much that you are making fun of gays, but that you are making fun of Beck by calling him gay. That is so high school.
Think about it.
In fact it sounds like McCarthyism. You know, call him a commie. If that doesn’t stick, call him gay.
I don’t like Beck myself, but if I call him, say, “retard” what does that say about what I think of mentally retarded people?
Just saying.
@ Leadbetter
Pointing out how some homophobic, right-wing blowhard’s book cover “looks” like a gay parenting manual isn’t homophobic — just ironic.
Hey Leadbetter: Eat Me!
What do Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Charlie Sheen all have in common? They are all alcholics/drug addicts who at least SAY they have stopped using, but who are not in recovery (no meetings, or informal or formal therapy). As if just stopping drinking or drug use fixed everything including the reasons people used in the first place. A person like this is called a “dry” drunk and there is something called the “Dry Drunk Syndrome”, look it up. One of the biggest features of this is grandiosity. Other features are a self-centered approach to everything, and lack of emotional control (maudlin, angry, mood swings etc.) After years of drinking/using there is usually lots of wreckage to deal with and it can be overwhelming. Rather than deal with this, people take it out on everyone else. I’m just sayin’.
Leadbetter, if I thought that being gay was a bad thing, you might have a point. I don’t, though. I just thought that it was interesting to note, especially given how homophobic much of the Fox audience is, as evidenced by their recent attacks against gay marriage, which I support, by the way. And, yeah, I think that’s ironic.
Here’s Beck, talking about how gay marriage will lead to polygamy.
So, maybe there should have been three or four men on the cover of his book.
Doesn’t Beck’s religion usually lead to polygamy?
“…recent attacks against gay marriage, which I support, by the way.”
So you do support Fox News attacks on gay marriage! I knew it!!!
; )
Yeah, I kind of realized that after I’d written it… To clarify, I support gay marriage. I don’t support the attacks against it.
Darn. Having read this blog for a while, it’s always more fun when you lack clarity. The lack of clarity is what keeps me titillated. There’s always the potential for a fiery crash around the next curve. Your blog is like the NASCAR of ideas.
“the NASCAR of ideas.” Don’t spend too much time thinking about that. I didn’t.

Party Affiliation: Republican Candidate
Religion: Christian
Education: University of Tennessee, Kansas State University

Will Allen West Run for President in 2012? This information is currently not available.
About Allen West: Allen West is a 39 year old combat veteran, who served 21 years in the United States Army as a Lieutenant Colonel. He is one of the new faces of the conservative party, as well as the Tea Party. When speaking in regards of the Tea Party, West often lays to rest the accusations that the Tea Party are simply racists.
West spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference on February 20, 2010 and was endorsed by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. As one of 32 African-American Republican candidates for Congress in 2010, West said he supported the Tea Party movement and dismissed the notion of alleged “racism” as a creation of liberal critics and the news media.
West ran in the November 2, 2010, election and defeated incumbent Ron Klein by almost 9% to win the congressional seat for District 22. West, with newly elected Tim Scott, will be one of the two first African-American Republicans to serve in Congress since J.C. Watts retired in 2003.
West raised $5.4 million for his campaign, while his incumbent opponent raised only $2.5 million. West stated: “…over 97 percent of our donations have come from individual contributions.”
Allen West PROS: Allen West is one of the leading conservatives in America today, and may are hopeful that he will run for President in 2012. On top of that, he is a black conservative, which is in itself, very unique. He retired as an Army Lieutenant Colonel with combat experience, and has a long record of military service. In this day in age, that is always a plus. He is also supported by the Tea Party. Being a black conservative, he may be able to influence a lot of black conservatives to step into the spotlight, and create some energy behind the limited political base that exists in this regard.
Allen West CONS: West had some small military charges which he was reprimanded for. He speaks openly and honestly about these, but I’m more than positive that these will be brought up. He is also fairly new to politics, so his voting record doesn’t have much to show for.
And, if I really had a problem with the gay, I doubt that I’d spend so many hours each night on this homo devil machine of mine.
Oh, and thank you for the new cut-and-paste, TaintSalad.
Well, then, If Beck came out of the closet, would he be happier?
Would he turn into a liberal?
I bet he would make even more money with his books and radio show if he came out.
@notoneofthecoolkids Hi.
I think it would be cool if gay men had something akin to what the lipstick lesbian phenomenon is for women. That way, Beck could become gay for a few days, kiss a couple of men, make a music video and make a gazillion more dollars. Then, just go back to being an asshole later when the publicity wears off. Maybe Dennis Rodman could be Beck’s “handler” for a while.
