I have no words but offer this to a dear, wonderful, courageous man: God full of mercy who dwells on high who has gone to his eternal rest » Posted By Chernynkaya On January 31, 2013 @ 10:10 am Obama To Be Blamed for Statements by Anyone Who Voted For Him Thanks, kes. Yeah, they always put the moronic cover on US editions. But this offends me. Between Tina Brown and her pal HarridanPost, they’ve set women’s causes–especially as professional journalists– back 50 years. » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 15, 2012 @ 6:45 pm As a further indictment against the MSM (as if any were needed) this is the misogynistic crap Newsweek is putting on their next cover: » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 15, 2012 @ 6:11 pm AdLib, as usual you bring some calm, common sense to the discussion. You are right. In addition, I realize that the Romney campaign and the Right will do what it always does–overreach and move further Right, alienating even more voters. And I have to acknowledge that team Obama KNOWS the media all too well; they know how fast these false memes can become embedded in peoples’ minds and they cut it off ASAP. Today, there are dozens of stories/video of Romney declaring that if you’ve never worked outside the home, you can’t understand the economy, and him telling mom’s they need to get a job and know “the dignity of work”: » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 15, 2012 @ 11:47 am Kalima, I just wrote you a long reply, then it disappeared. But here’s the gist of what I wanted to say, after I told you I couldn’t agree more!! Many in the media are starting to push back against the criticism of Rosen–including David Axelrod. For example, Joe Scarborough was incensed: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036789/ns/msnbc_tv-morning_joe/ And many are now criticizing Ann Romney for pretending she understands SAHM’s–she who sent her 5 boys to boarding school, had nannies and chauffeurs and one house for each son. Here’s a taste of Axerod responding to Romney’s Eric Fehrn: @davidaxelrod:Harold Simmons pledges $36m to GOP, and calls Obama “the most dangerous American alive.” Silence from Mitt. @davidaxelrod @davidaxelrod @davidaxelrod Well, I had lots more to say, but since it went poof, I have to recharge! 🙂 » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 15, 2012 @ 11:11 am I’ve been angry about this ridiculous episode for two days now. I’m not sure why this—of all things—got under my skin so, but it really has. When I first heard Hilary Rosen’s statement, my reaction was, “Tell it!” I heard nothing at all controversial. Then I saw David Axelrod and Jim Messina on Twitter saying she was offensive and calling her to apologize. I went back to replay the video and STILL heard nothing wrong with what Rosen said. Eventually, reading Twitter, I realized that the media and the Right (or am I being redundant?) twisted Rosen’s words to pretend she had criticized stay at home moms. She didn’t, although I can see how her words could be twisted to say she said stay at home moms don’t work. Of course I’m angry at the way the media turned this against the Obama campaign in the most cynical and gleefully drooling way. But I have to say, I am also pretty disappointed and mad at the Obama campaign. They obviously knew exactly how the media would twist Rosen’s words and her “association” with the Obama campaign. But what did they do? The apologized for what Rosen DID NOT say. They again played on the Right’s terms, accepting their false narrative. They distanced themselves from Rosen and excoriated her for something or other. And this happened on the same day Allen West declared there are 81 Commies in Congress and Foster Freiss said he “hopes Obama’s teleprompter is bullet proof.” Oh, and then FLOTUS made a statement in support of moms and so did the President. Huh? I see that Obama’s poll numbers went down. I would suggest that they go down whenever he is seen as weak and apologetic towards the Right. I know I could be 100% wrong about that. But I’ve seen this scenario before. When the President fights back, his numbers go up; when he is seen as conciliatory, they go down. BTW, I dislike Hilary Rosen. She was HPAOL’s political director before she quit and Fineman replaced her. She works for a disgusting PR firm—the ones who worked on those reprehensible BP commercials to change their image. But this is not about her. It’s about standing up to the media and not letting them and the Right set the narrative. I don’t know to what extent that’s possible,but it seems to me on this issue, team Obama could have done much better. » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 14, 2012 @ 9:55 am Buy Gravity – PlanetPOV Spring Fundraising & Membership Drive AdLib, Kalima, KQuark and bito–thank you for giving me the opportunity to give back a little bit to all of you for your excellent and hard work. I am continuously amazed by the level of intelligence and friendliness of PPOV, it’s members, and visitors! » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 10, 2012 @ 12:50 pm He Doesn’t Wish He Could Be a Real Boy – Romnocchio! AdLib–Awesome analogy! And that song! As angry as the endless lies make me, there is something else he does–and the whole GOP does—that just makes me sputter. That Rovian tactic of accusing Obama of the exact thing they themselves do. Attacking Obama’s strengths as a weakness and accusing them of HIS weakness i.e., Obama is “out of touch.” Makes me livid. I don’t think it’ll work in the general, but there is something so disgusting with this tactic. Beyond cynical! » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 4, 2012 @ 9:02 pm Bito, thanks to you and other Planeteers, that Tweet got 100’s of ReTweets. I wanted it to go viral until the MSM finally pays attention. » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 4, 2012 @ 8:45 pm Guys, there will be no Daily Planets until April 11. We’re going on vacation for a week and I have too much stuff to do before we leave. I’ll be around until the 5th, but in and out. » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 3, 2012 @ 10:49 pm Hi E’Cat. Rachel Maddow is one of the last people I would have thought suffered from depression. It sure doesn’t seem debilitating–at least not like when I’m having a bout. And I too get bad bouts. » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 3, 2012 @ 10:46 pm The Religious Right Assault on America – Your Bedroom Perfectly said, C’Lady. A Christian (the authentic kind) once asked me, sincerely, why Jews don’t accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. I asked her why she didn’t accept Mohammed as God’s Messenger. » Posted By Chernynkaya On April 1, 2012 @ 2:47 pm Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s “Caskets R Us!” Sally, you CAN laugh long and hard if I trip and fall–nothing funnier! I especially love it when one’s arms start windmilling right before the fall. » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 6:34 pm But that’s why I thought it was even funnier than the casket. But then, when I trip and fall I laugh so hard I can’t get up! If some ELSE trips, I just about need a defibrillator I laugh so hard. (I’m laughing right now just picturing falling!) » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 6:17 pm HAH! Because it’s blank? » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 6:07 pm Oops: http://iowntheworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/corpse_in_coffin-11-408×650.jpg » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 6:01 pm Oh dear–found Keith Olbermann’s casket: » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 5:59 pm A few random coffins: Mitch McConnell, obviously Eric Cantor [img]http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/300/0b/0be03359-8cdc-4f07-b774-ccfa60d50e89_300.jpg[/img] Ayn Rand is buried in the thorax » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 5:32 pm I think I’ve come across Marcus Bachmann’s coffin: » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 4:59 pm KT–you are on a ROLL today!!!! » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 4:15 pm That. Is. Awesome. You tied together the caskets and the orals arguments brilliantly! (BTW, I suddenly see why they’re called oral arguments–they BLOW.)You deserve a lifetime appointment to the SCOC: Supreme Court Of Comedy. » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 12:44 pm Sally, I saw it online today–I was too angry last night. Very upsetting! » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 30, 2012 @ 4:48 pm Here’s the other thing that people don’t understand about ANY messaging–and I say this as someone who was in the marketing/advertising profession all my life–REPETITION (or in the ad jargon, “frequency.”) Everyone finds it hard to believe, but it takes months if not years for a message to really sink in. This is truer today than ever. There is SO MUCH noise, so many pulls on our attention, it takes constant repetition–over a long period–for frames to set in. And the more people using them over a long period, the better. So when you rightly point out that the White House “gave up” on a message, they were wrong to abandon it so soon. When I notice a good slogan, I’m discouraged by how quickly it’s dropped in favor of another. “Yes We Can” worked not only because it fit the zeitgeist, but because it was repeated verbally and in print over and over and over again. I really hope Obama’s new campaign slogan “We Can’t Wait” will do the same. » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 29, 2012 @ 1:34 pm bito, I can’t understand why the Dems don’t see this. They’ve certainly heard of Frank Luntz. The only explanation I can come up with is that liberals have a serious blind spot: They honestly believe that reason, common sense and facts will rule the day. Yet time and again, over and over, that is proven wrong. It’s simply a case of refusing to acknowledge how ruthless the Right can be, and how effective they can be. Not only that, Dems continue to use the same language that the Repubs use–in othre words they ALLOW the Right to incorrectly and falsely frame all arguments. :eyeroll: » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 29, 2012 @ 1:06 pm Oh, dang, I should have read your comment before replying to bito. » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 28, 2012 @ 8:41 pm So right, bito. We need to pay serious attention to George Lakoff. They have Frank Luntz and we are pitifully behind in our framing. » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 28, 2012 @ 8:39 pm C’Lady, I completely agree with you about Kennedy. Of course, this is just an educated guess and and for all I know he could have a brain fart of epic proportions. Today I was stunned by how lazy and actually downright, well–no other word for it– ignorant Scalia and Alito were. They made the inane broccoli argument again and thought Ben Nelson’s “Cornhusker Kickback went into effect. At one point Scalia whined, “Did you expect me to read the 1700 page law??” If they indeed find ACA unconstitutional, I have a serious question: What would prevent some party from bringing a case before the Court to declare Medicare or Social Security unconstitutional? Because if ACA is, so are they. » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 28, 2012 @ 8:37 pm KT, I did not know that! GAwd what a POS. Thanks! » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 28, 2012 @ 4:43 pm How does Santorum (or Romney for that matter) plan to run against that? Good question. For the base, I actually believe that the Repub candidate could literally say anything or nothing at all and win their vote; that’s how much they despise Obama. Like that other article, the base is pure reptilian id, so all the lies, flip-flops, extremism–none of that matters. As for the general? I heard a germ of a platform from Willard once: Vote for me because, although the economy is improving, I will make the recovery move faster and stronger. And yes, I’m filthy rich–so what? Don’t YOU want to be rich too? I’ll show you how.” While I don’t think that line will work, it does tap into that “aspiration” fantasy so many Americans tell themselves and it’s part of our mythology, right? » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 27, 2012 @ 8:08 pm Kes, since seeing the Sanatorium video, I’ve been reminded that there have been a few other instances when campaigns went a bit over the top in fear mongering–the anti- Goldwater “Daisy” ad most often cited. I could be wrong, but I’ve never seen an ad essentially accusing an incumbent President of treason. That ad’s message goes beyond the “normal” fears of the direction the country is headed into insane paranoia. It says our President is Ahmadinejad–a terrorist enemy of America. And of course Santo approved it. » Posted By Chernynkaya On March 27, 2012 @ 7:41 pmComments Posted By Chernynkaya
Grant perfect rest on the wings of Your Divine Presence
In the lofty heights of the holy and pure
who shine as the brightness of the heavens
to the soul of
as all his family and friends
pray for the elevation of his soul.
His resting place shall be in the Garden of Eden.
Therefore, the Master of mercy will care for him
under the protection of His wings for all time
And bind his soul in the bond of everlasting life.
God is his inheritance and he will rest in peace
and let us say Amen.

@EricFehrn Rush rips Sandra Fluke in the coarsest, most vile way. All Mitt could manage was a weak ” not the language I would have used.”
@EricFehrn Foster Friess, who gave Santo Super $1.7M, hearts Romney, saying he hopes POTUS’s “teleprompters are bulletproof.” Mitt? Silent.
@EricFehrn So until you have the guts to stand up to one of your own, you can take your studied outrage and stick it in…your Swiss bank!
