Once more into the breach, dear girls

Tea Party Movement
Donkey to elephant: "Something brewing?"

Those Tea Party women:

“You know the old saying that if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy?” [Darla] Dawald, national director for the tea party social network and activism site ResistNet said, when asked why women seem to outnumber men in the movement. “Well, when legislation messes with mama’s kids and it affects her family, then mama comes out fighting — and I don’t mean in a violent way, of course.”

Red Hot Mamas.

Illinois, Delaware, and points between, with both hands tied

Flag of Delaware
Flag of great state of Delaware

Allusions abound in this Joycean blather from Mrs. Hickey’s boy Patrick, today in and about the swamps of Illinois (Capitol Fax Blog) and Delaware-become-national politics (the O’Donnell overcoming the GOP regular for the Biden seat), with a small pearl inserted in the middle: “Marque Kirque” for senate.

If these be illusions, make the most of them, but not before working through the thickly populated text.

So be my advice to readers on this 15th day of September, year of Our Lord 2010. Amen.

As for the state in question, see here for Perry Como’s contribution: Words

and

Music!

So be my advice to lovers of fine music.

Perry:

A week late, I see.

Good-doers on parade: Catholic Campaign

Embryo
Human development at early stage

Intrepid Church Reporter at Campaign for Human Development awards:

Good show Sept. 1 at St. Stanislaus Kostka School, where 100 or more gathered for awarding of Chicago Campaign for Human Development funds. Reps of awardee organizations trooped up one after the other to be interviewed by Father “Rocky” Hoffman of Relevant Radio. It was a parade of do-gooders looking good. The hall exuded benevolence, even as a few hard-core brothers and sisters of the Alinsky-style persuasion more or less lurked in the shadows.

This babe is in the woods

Azteca News reporter Inez Sainz protests ill treatment by football players, in their locker room.  They made jokes when she entered.

[Tamron] HALL [of MSNBC]:  What kind of jokes were they making? What were they saying?

SAINZ: Yeah. “Oh, she’s here! Look, I want to be Mexican,” and something like this.  But I don’t feel bad in this moment because I say, “Okay, they are guys joking and that’s it.”

But she did not feel harassed until another female reporter told her she should feel harassed:

Tamron Hall says, “You didn’t feel harassed?”  Because Ines Sainz says (doing impression), “No, I didn’t feel bad in this moment because, as I say, I was looking at the [QB] Mark [Sanchez] locker. I was looking for Mark and his locker room [sic], and these guys are just joking and that’s it,” and Tamron Hall said: Wait a minute! You’re not following the script here, babe.  “You didn’t feel harassed?”

SAINZ:  Noooo, I didn’t feel harassed — and then go and wait for Mark, and then, eh, a colleague of mine, a female reporter come with me and say, “I’m so sorry. It’s so disgustin’ that this things happen.  It mustn’t happen,” and she’s very upsetI tried to calm her and say, “Let’s pretend nothing happened.  I’m focusing on my job.”

HALL:  There was ANOTHER female reporter —

SAINZ: Yes. I think they —

HALL: — who said that she was DISGUSTED by the way the players were talking to you?

SAINZ:  Yes, because she is hearing what they are talking about. She’s closer for the — the — the players, and I was all in the locker so she’s the main witness of everything. [Italics added]

A case of being a “knife and fork short of a full place setting,” per veteran observer Rush Limbaugh.  On the other hand, honest about it and getting Tamron Hall upset too.

STAY WITH THE NARRATIVE, LADY!
