Miscellaneous 124
1) Gingrich has finally given some hints that he will in fact ultimately support Mr. Romney. Can you folks say, awkward? I mean, think about it, what's he gonna frigging say, "You know, for a 'maniacal liar and vulture capitalist', he really isn't all that bad of a fellow."? I'm telling you, people, if I were Mr. Romney, I would tell him to stuff it - big time.............2) Not that a lot of the other Romney "endorsements" have been all that full-throated, either. I mean, did you happen to get a gander at that one from Senator Inhofe? I mean, it was practically a dis, for Christ....Damn, I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Romney.............3) Oh well, I guess that at least one of those ambiguities pertaining to the Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case has been settled. According to several forensic voice experts, the odds of that scream being that of George Zimmerman's is approximately 100-1 - not good, not very good at all. I'm beginning to think that those who've been clamoring for an arrest in this case are likely to be vindicated and soon.

No, remember that Rusty informed us that this was going to end similar to the Duke Lacrosse case. There three white guys were unjustly accused of raping a black woman. Here, a Hispanic dude was unjustly accused of shooting a black male.
If Rusty is correct we'll soon discover that the shooting was justified. My guess is that Rusty knows this to be true because Trayvon was black.
I'm still not convinced that it was murder, though, wd. NBC had some blow-ups to the back of Zimmerman's head and there was in fact an abrasion there. I think that we really need to see the medical reports.......Now, this isn't to say that lethal force was justified or that this Zimmerman fellow should have been tailing this kid to begin with. I'm just saying that it might be more of a manslaughter (which still can get you 20-25 years in some states) situation than it was a cold-blooded murder (though, yes, I still remain open-minded to that as well).
But, yes, overall, some very bad news for Zimmerman.
To bad woofie lacks the ability to keep an open mind.
Although in this instance I tend to have similar views on the case. As I clearly stated on my site.
"Rational" Nation: To bad woofie lacks the ability to keep an open mind.
Who's "woofie"?
Will: I'm still not convinced that it was murder...
Maybe you and Rusty are right. Read my take on the matter in a post I wrote for my blog. I titled it "Regarding George Zimmerman's Innocence".
Surprisingly, I seem to agree with Rusty.
I said "murder", wd (as opposed to manslaughter) and that I was also open-minded to both guilt AND innocence. In other words, I would be selected as a juror in this case and you and Rusty wouldn't.
That's the same assessment of the situation I made in my earlier post on the topic, "On The Trayvon Martin Murder"... that you should be on the jury and I should not.
I still think I might change the name of my blog to "CONTRA Contra O'Reilly" though. Do you think that sounds like a good blog name?
If Newt endorses Romney, will he
join the Trumpster in some sort of
Monty Python type Romney cabinet?
You have immutable opinions on everything, wd. I wouldn't expect the Trayvon Martin case to be any different.......My advice (and you do seem to be asking for it here) would be for you to seek a much broader agenda than simply trying to contradict literally everything that another individual says. I mean, that doesn't sound very exciting to me.
BB Idaho, might I also suggest Mr. Haley Barbour as Attorney General? Might as well go all the damn way, no?
Will: My advice... would be for you to seek a much broader agenda than simply trying to contradict literally everything that another individual says.
I was joking (obviously you didn't read the post I linked to). Also, you do more than contradict O'Reilly (in fact, you do that very infrequently).
Also, I am open to changing my opinions on things. You say my opinions are immutable just because I don't heed the wisdom of Will Hart. Have I ever made an argument that caused you to change YOUR mind?
Michael Jackson I came around to your opinion. And I was one of the very few bloggers who defended Anthiny Weiner (that it was between him and his constituents), too.......As for O'Reilly, one could argue that he's been superceded by some larger lunatics; Hannity, Schultz, Limbaugh, etc..
I like Ed Schultz, although now that Olbermann isn't on he's my other option... and I didn't watch him last night. I watched O'Reilly instead. He actually seems somewhat reasonable. Although he had some guests on who are people I can't stand (The toe sucking Dick Morris).
One of the guests said taxes on wealthy people are too high, and O'Reilly said he was happy to pay his taxes!
As for the Michael Jackson issue, I linked to an article that discussed the autopsy. I don't know how anyone could disagree given hard facts not open to interpretation.
As I recall dmarks still disagreed though. Clearly dmarks does not understand the disease MJ had. In fact, he seemed very proud of his ignorance of it.
I was referring to Mr. Jackson's guilt versus innocence regarding the child molestation charges. I went from a guilty lean to an innocent lean.......Factual matters - yeah, they're factual matters.
As for Mr. Jackson's skin condition, it was probably only 5% of his overall skin that was effected. Why didn't he return that 5% to its normal pigmentation rather than turning the rest of the 95% white? Methinks that the fellow did have at least some issues.
Will: it was probably only 5% of his overall skin that was effected.
I don't believe this information was ever disclosed. Are you just making it up?
Will: Why didn't he return that 5% to its normal pigmentation rather than turning the rest of the 95% white?
There is no cure for vitiligo. I'm sure he consulted with his dermatologist before deciding on what he thought was the best course of action for him. I think it's presumptuous of anyone to second guess that decision, given the fact that Jackson's private medical records have never been released.
I'm sure he had vitiligo, and it also just so happened that he'd always wished he were white. He probably viewed his condition as a blessing in disguise, huh? That's probably why he was so public about having the disease, as it gave him an excuse to use the skin lightening medicines, huh?
Oh, no, wait a minute, I've got that all wrong. He was very private about his condition, which probably lead to MORE rumors then if he had come out and explained everything.
Will: Methinks that the fellow did have at least some issues.
I disagree. And clearly I did NOT change your mind on this topic.
Also, with your degrees in psychology and dermatology you must be pretty well off... no wonder you're in favor of health savings accounts.
btw I don't recall making a strong case that Michael Jackson was innocent of the molestation charges levied against him. In fact, I'm pretty sure I didn't.
I simply said I didn't think he did it. I think you changed your own mind.
Therefore I would not count this an instance where I made an argument that caused you to change one of your immutable opinions.
That's why I assumed that you were talking about the skin condition issue. That's the one I made a strong argument in regards to. And clearly you have NOT changed your mind on that.
"I'm sure he had vitiligo, and it also just so happened that he'd always wished he were white. He probably viewed his condition as a blessing in disguise, huh? That's probably why he was so public about having the disease, as it gave him an excuse to use the skin lightening medicines, huh?" I agree with this statement completely.......I'm not entirely sure why I changed my mind. It's possible that something coming from you may have played a part. In any event, I see Mr. Jackson now as more of an asexual person who is also very childlike himself. I just wish that he didn't dole out that 20+ million to settle the first case.
Will: I agree with this statement completely.
That's the scenario that I'm saying is utterly ridiculous and can no way be the explanation (due to the complete implausibility of it)... and you're saying you AGREE? You think he wished he was white?
Yeah, kinda.
