Fox News host: First lady needs to 'drop a few' pounds
[quote]A Fox News co-host questioned Michelle Obama's weight and
eating habits on Tuesday as the first lady advocates for
nutrition standards through her "Let's Move" anti-obesity
campaign.
"How well could she be eating? She needs to drop a few," Keith
Ablow, a psychiatrist and member of Fox's "Medical A-Team," said
on "Outnumbered."
The show regularly features four women sitting on a couch with
one man in the middle, who's "outnumbered" in conversations
about the news.
After the four female co-hosts chided Ablow for his comments, he
continued to offer skepticism.
"Well, no, let's be honest. I mean, there's no French fries
ever? That's all kale and carrots? I don't buy it," he said.
One co-host, Lisa 'Kennedy' Montgomery, jumped in to defend the
first lady.
"I do not like her attitude, but I like her booty," she said.
Sandra Smith, another co-host, tried to drive the discussion
back to the topic at hand - some school districts are opting out
of federal requirements that mandate better choices for school
lunches, saying the requirements are too difficult.
Smith added that some students are simply leaving campus to buy
fast food, rather than buy food they don't want to eat at
school.
Congressional Republicans have been trying to nix or delay the
program.
Ablow jumped in again: "Exactly, but that's what she's doing.
She's up at night in the White House kitchen, I'm telling ya."
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment on the host's
remarks.[/quote]

Thankfully, I've had only minor direct connection with this kind
of garbage. This just makes no sense.
[glow=red,2,300]Internet Trolls[/glow]
[quote]She's Robin Williams' grieving daughter, she's super into
video games and she's named for the iconic princess from the
Legend of Zelda -- but to Internet trolls, Zelda Williams is
just another target.
Less than two days after the death of her father, Williams
deleted the Instagram and Twitter apps from her phone, citing
repeated harassment from Internet trolls sending her graphic
digitally edited images of father's face superimposed on
corpses. Both accounts remain active online and available for
public viewing.
The trouble began when she posted a passage from The Little
Prince on Twitter in honor of her late father.

That sucks that she has to deal with this kind of stuff right
now. Leave her alone to grieve and deal with family matters in
private.

Lewis Black slams Rush Limbaugh: “You disgust me”
[quote]Comedian Lewis Black tore into Rush Limbaugh for his
tasteless comments on Robin Williams’ suicide, Daily Kos
reported. Black posted a short but invective blurb to his
Facebook page stating:
“FUCK YOU Rush Limbaugh. Your statements were beyond cruel
and stupid. They were intolerable. Enough is enough from you.
You are an idiot. Don’t you ever demean the death of another
human being. He was my friend. You disgust me.”
On Tuesday, Limbaugh made a meandering speech where he read from
a local Fox story speculating on why Williams committed suicide,
and then oddly connected that to a leftist point of view. He
walked these comments back on Wednesday, stating that he doesn’t
know the reasons for Williams’ suicide and accused the media of
misconstruing his words.
It’s proof again that the good die young, and pricks live
forever. He’s gonna be missed. There’s a hole, and it’s gonna
take a long time to be filled.”[/quote]

While not surprised he would end up here, I was hoping he
wouldn't. But alas....
.... thank you Dr. Obvious.

Henry Rollins Criticizes Robin Williams and Denounces Suicide in
Scathing Column
[quote]Never one to shy away from offending anyone, Henry
Rollins is facing a social media backlash after writing a column
for L.A. Weekly in which he condemns Robin Williams‘ decision to
commit suicide.
Rollins, who said he believed Williams was a “good man” because
of his performances for the United Service Organizations, was
mostly critical of the late comedian over the effect his suicide
will have on his children.
“How in the hell could you possibly do that to your children,”
Rollins wrote. “I don’t care how well-adjusted your kid might be
— choosing to kill yourself, rather than to be there for that
child, is every shade of awful, traumatic and confusing. I think
as soon as you have children, you waive your right to take your
own life. No matter what mistakes you make in life, it should be
your utmost goal not to traumatize your kids. So, you don’t kill
yourself.”
Rollins doesn’t question the realities of depression and notes,
“Depression is so personal and so unique to each of us that when
you’re in its teeth, you think you invented it.” But the former
Black Flag and Rollins Band frontman said he can’t respect
anyone who makes the decision to take his or her own life.
“I no longer take this person seriously,” he wrote. “I may be
able to appreciate what he or she did artistically but it’s
impossible to feel bad for them. Their life wasn’t cut short —
it was purposely abandoned. It’s hard to feel bad when the
person did what they wanted to.”
He also takes it a step further. “When someone negates their
existence, they cancel themselves out in my mind,” he wrote. “I
have many records, books and films featuring people who have
taken their own lives, and I regard them all with a bit of
distain [sic]. When someone commits this act, he or she is out
of my analog world. I know they existed, yet they have nullified
their existence because they willfully removed themselves from
life. They were real but now they are not.”
While Rollins’ diatribe has started a larger conversation about
suicide, the reaction has largely been negative. Some
celebrities have reacted on social media:
In closing his column, Rollins referred to a statistic from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that 40,000 people
kill themselves each year. He wrote, “In my opinion, that is
40,000 people who blew it.” Read the entire column here.[/quote]

I guess Rollins was out of the country or living in a cave to
see the backlash Gene Simmons brought onto himself with pretty
much the same thought process.

Have we submitted FOX news at any point. Maybe they should be in
the hall of fame for constantly being douche
[glow=red,2,300] "Take the stairs."[/glow]
[quote]The new footage of NFL star Ray Rice's brutal knockout of
his then-fiancee in an Atlantic City elevator has sparked an
impassioned national conversation about the entrapping nature of
domestic violence and its long-term psychological effects.
Except on "Fox and Friends," where the big takeaway, according
to co-host Brian Kilmeade, was this: "Take the stairs." Kilmeade
and co-host Steve Doocy, who chimed in Monday morning with, "The
message is, when you're in an elevator, there's a camera,
sparked another national conversation about the mindless nature
of morning television and its apparent long-term psychological
effects of its hosts.
Kilmeade did offer a brief apology at the opening of this
morning's program at 6 a.m.: "Comments we made during this story
yesterday made some feel like we were taking the situation too
lightly," he says. "We are not. We were not. Domestic abuse is a
very serious issue to us, I can assure you."
Kilmeade on Monday had also criticized Janay Rice, saying that
women who stay with their abusers send a "terrible message" — as
opposed to the message sent by celebrated pro athletes with
their fists? While domestic violence victims' advocates would
much rather focus the conversation on the abusers than their
prey, the Ray Rice case — and social media — has spurred victims
to speak up for themselves.
Finally....
Meanwhile, Rice herself this morning seemed to blame the media
for her "nightmare." Via Instagram, she writes, "To make us
relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a
horrible thing. To take something away from the man I love that
he has worked his ass of for all his life just to gain ratings
is horrific."[/quote]
