The “Don’t taze me, bro” moment of Henry Louis Gates

From the police report, we learn how articulate prestigious Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates can be when invited to speak on his front porch with police officers doing their jobs:
“YA, I’LL SPEAK WITH YOUR MAMA OUTSIDE!”
A phrase that will go down in infamy.

Update: Obama “clarifies.”
Update: Obama walks back his walk-back.

Yah, that was pretty neat, good job Chap.
As far as 40 days and nights, I don’t know if you worked it out in advance John, but this thing did actually start exactly 40 days ago. Proof of GOD???
…nah…
Encore! Encore!

Don’t you read the posts?
I don’t think that lgm ever arrived at this thread. Many thanks to spacey on that record as well. You scared the collective away!
10,069 ???
No, silly! The mushy stuff!
I was curious how long it took to get here and figured it out while I was waiting for Chap to post.
Ironic and strangely appropo, isn’t it?
all 69 are belong to me
We should make this an annual ritual. What say you?
Chappy,
Damn Fine Work!
Pure: 9990
I’ll take the 68s.
Pure: 9998
Wanna come up and see my etchings?

I’ve got an idea. Design a deck of cards off the monster thread.
Can anyone say Obama youth?
(Obama Jugend?)
Kinky.
Can anyone say Obama’s approval rating is down to 45%?
42 and dropping by some accounts, disapproval up to 46
do not neglect your e-mail, pure
Yes, sir!
BRB
check your fairy dust dispenser, KF
and you your’s
It sure got quiet in here.
Maybe they took the party outside.
Okay, Lights off. Happy trails. Until we meet again.
Kingfish
Happy Birthday!!!! Unless pure misinformed us.
FYI – Tomorrow is my birthday.
Back to the REAL Bday song vis a vis Jimmi Hendrix!
Everybody sing!!!
Everybody’s wishin’
Me a happy birthday!
Everybody’s wishin’
Me a real good time!
Hi, Swede!
Kingfish told me it’s today.
You get yours tomorrow.
Came back to say that our little Buycott has made the Huff Post.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/01/st-louis-tea-party-coalit_n_274324.html
I’ll be there in about an hour.
I bow down before thee and give thee great honoriferous glory and magnificent praises. There is none like the walking about the planet, for none other may lay claim to the ten thousandth Skippy Threader. Champaign all around!
One word of caution. After a lifetime achievement like this one can rapidly slip from glory to depression. Remember Buzz Aldren? After being the first man to walk the moon, what are you going to shoot for the rest of your life?
In other words…Get over it!! Congrats!
Swede:
Happy premature birthday to you!
I believe Buzz was the second man to walk on the moon however (Even if it was a stage in Hollywood HAHA)
Swede,
What kind of overpriced, organic cake would you like from Whole Foods?
pure – Carrot cake is my fav. My best friend’s wife is secretly whipping up an awesome batch as we speak. Don’t ask me how I know this. I could tell you, but I’d have to kill you.
King – My bad. I guess I knew it was Neil Armstrong, but Buzz is such a “kewl” name.
HUGE day for chap. Seems our intrepid counselor made star status on the Connecticut lawmakers at “work” thread, including a hearty well done from MM herself. He’ll not likely be seen slumming about with the likes of us for a while. He has his reputation to consider.
To quote one of our own:
“Just you wait…”
pure – How was the turn out at whole foods?
Tanks for asking. Assembling photos.
Nicely done, Chaps!
No, I’m not lurching behind the scenes … I’ve been here all along.
Muhaahahahahaha!

link to my Whole Foods Buycott photos.
Previous Tea Party event still there also.
There were a lot more people than what the photos indicate. I shopped early, took food home, then came back to do more photos. Most of crowd came earlier.

Lead story. Looks like it was a big success. 1,000 shoppers. Average bill about $50. Got national attention.
Happy Birthday, swede!
Too late. I’ve already uploaded all the info to every major news service.
*kidding*
Chaps, bought one fat yellow heirloom tomato at the Whole Foods Buycott last night.
I’ll see if I think it’s superior in flavor.
Tonight I will drink vodka and watch ‘Planet Terror’.
Nasty comments from Huff Post bloggers on the BUYcott:
I say let’s challenge them to a rumble! heh
I’d love for the only people to shop at Whole Foods to be teabaggers and birthers. Of course, Mackey would have to rename it AssWhole Foods
_______________________________
Does Whole Foods sell organic Velveeta?
________________________________
What a waste. They swarm the store for five hours and buy all they can–and then what will they do? They can’t eat the stuff. They can only eat fast food and processed foods. Doubtless not a one of them knows how to compost. They certainly won’t give to food banks. So off it will all go to the dump
_______________________________________
Wait till the teabaggers see the $3.99 a lb grapes or the 6.95 a lb ground beef. They wil make one trip to the store and that will be it. Let Whole foods try and make up the loss of the progressives who shopped there with teabaggers who will run away so fast once they see the prices. Mackey made this whole mess and deserves.
________________________________________
Whole foods should be afraid, they should VERY afraid.
If the teabaggers glob onto the wholefoods image next come the birthers, then the death panelists and then come the terr0rists and then we have a repub whole foods which will go down with this minority party………..
so Whole Foods better think twice before you embrace this whacko mindset……..
________________________________
Then they will learn the true cost of foods on the other side of the tracks and run back to Walmart where they can get cheap and unhealthy foods. I say, go ahead make Mackey happy!
___________________________________
Most of the baggers, people who more than likely have never set foot in a Whole Foods Store, will find their jaws dropping to the floor when they encounter Whole Foods prices. Heh, heh.
typical elitist/fascist mindset.
they equate high prices with a specific quality that they themselves cannot even understand.
oh, and I know how to compost. Come over. I’ll show you…
Most of them are “city slickers” who wouldn’t know how to navigate a wheelbarrow if they had to. heh
My mother was a John Bircher and read Prevention magazine religiously.

Thanks for the Bday wishes, but I’ve decided not to age further. It’s bad for your health and the girls will be less attracted. In fact, I’m looking into whether the miraculous properties of my Whee-lo include age reversing powers. Worth a try.
Just watch out for the leprechauns, swede.
Oh, and the Sandinistas.
swede, if your first presidential vote was for McGovern, you must be at least 55, right?
I guess my first vote was for Ford in ’76.
Happy Birthday Swede, and happy belated one to Kingfish.
I’ve not kept up very well.
Neither has zero.
Think he feels he has won immortality for achieving the 10,001 post here so has moved on.
One more somewhat relevant post…
The only Kenyan with serious stones…
John – Therein lies the hope. If your leprechaun theory is correct, my understanding is that the little fellers never age! I accept your theory based on the possible benefits available should it be correct. Unsure how the Sandinistas are miraculous, but accept that as well if it serves my purpose.
pure – Your math skills are exceeded only by your kindness and wisdom.
I’m off to my surprise birthday party that I know nothing about. Supposedly comparing notes for a new project.
I’ll save y’all some cake. Well…no, I won’t. See you in a few pounds.
Can we save that one for after the dinner hour?
pure: it’s about a 73 year old kenyan who killed a leopard that attack him using only, his bare-hands…Definitely safe for work.
Yup, I am still checking though, just curious.
OK, things to do. Later!
It’s a post 10,000 world.
Whooooaaaahhh…
Good one, Jeff!
They’re not miraculous, but they’ve had it in for me for years. Watch out for them. They’re everywhere. I suspect there’s one in the White House.
So, where do we go from here ?
Amadeus ?

Perhaps Olie North could sell paint ball guns to Iran and channel the funds to the Obamanista Contras. No, he has a better gig now at Fox, I guess.
Hello all. I had struggled with whether or not I was going to post on here again. After all, it kind of ruins the “Sopranos”-like intrigue of my last post. but I have found that, just like Jack Twist in Brokeback Mountain (the gay cowboy movie for those of you that didn’t watch) “I wish I knew how to quit you.”
Anyway, I believe I have instigated a new (real) flame war. It is still in its nascent phase, but I am hoping it will turn out to be a real barn burner. But this does mean that my fake flame war with Kingfish will have to be put on hold. If I have learned one thing from Napoleon, Hitler and George Bush it is that one cannot effectively fight a war on two fronts.
“I wish I knew how to quit you.”
ROFLMAO!
Kingfish, might be slightly distracted.
He seems to have developed an unexpected appreciation for the art of intaglia.
Hey, Ollie is a hunk. Thinks he’s a “geezer” but he’s a silver fox.
Yikes! correction
for the art of intaglio.
Wrong!
99 Bananas
pure,
If it makes you feel any better, I have no idea what you are talking about whether or not you spell it with an “a” or an “o”.
Chaps,
That’s what happens when you spend six years in art school instead of law school.
I love Ollie North! There’s a MAN. Watching him in those hearings way back when really shaped my politics.
And yes Pure, he is HANDSOME!!
Look, Chaps!
Here’s a yuppie word you can toss about at the Farmers’ Market.
See if you can make a sentence using intaglia and arugula.
Joy,
Thought of you today when I heard some bits of a surreal audio by our new Green czar, Van Jones.
He says we will all end up either being locusts or honey bees.
Well, sorry Van, but I’m a child of God… not a locust or a honey bee!
Maybe he can get Z to evolve into one of those two things…
That guy is definitely NOT a man. Scary dude.
Er a… meant Van, not Z… who is the scary dude.
Gotta go to sleep!
Hey, I’ll be posting something tomorrow I’d like everyone to read… so check in!
Oh Wait!!
Just 8 more posts
To get 10100…
Soooo
I’m
going
For it………………… Site is telling me to slow down! Slow down?? Sheesh…
Next one
That Van Jones dude acts like he thinks he’s Shaft and a bag of chips.
Aw shoot!
I’m sorry, Joy!
OH FINE…. Just STEAL IT…
*sniff*
WAHHHH
Heh… no worries
Nighty night Pure and Chaps! Sweet dreams and all…
Nite.

Heard segments of this on Laura Ingraham yesterday morning. Van Jones speaks at some green event.
This is UNBELIEVABLE.
Takes awhile to listen to all of it but I would consider this a must.
This guy is soooo wrapped up in his self-created faux communist coolness.
