In regard to the win-a-date-with-Ben-Shapiro contest (below)…well, it appears there are multiple winners, but there’s definitely enough Ben Shapiro to go around!

Redlegphi is one of several who identified the award won by Nina May’s ‘award-winning’ film, Black People Will Believe Anything: The Truth About How the Republican Party [cough cough] Is They True An’ Propa Homie Who Allus Gots They Bizzack, Word Emancipation Revelation Revolution:

It “won” the “Best Cutting Edge Film” Award at the 2006 Noir Film Festival, which is apparently now known as the San Diego Black Film Festival.

And indeed, yes it did.

Hey, but wait, that’s not what May says:

Nina May produced, directed, wrote and edited the award-winning documentary Emancipation Revelation Revolution, about the history of the civil rights movement in America, the role that both political parties have played in it, and what happens to conservative blacks who leave the liberal plantation. It won the Noir Film Festival in San Diego and was featured at the Liberty Film Festival in Hollywood.

Here’s May again:

It has been featured at the Liberty Film Festival in Hollywood, and came in first at the Noir Film Festival in San Diego in Feb. of 2006.

…Aside from all those black-people films by black people. Those ones didn’t count.

Democrats Have Kept Racism Alive

Above: Then again, she may not.

• If Barack Obama knew anything at all about race in America, he’d know that, uh, [consults book] a hundred years ago, Democrats used to be racist, therefore, um, [consults book] today’s contemporary Republican Party is actually [consults book], uh, the most progressive on black-people things.

Bonus Nina May:

If [Barack Obama] watched the award-winning documentary, Emancipation Revelation Revolution (ERRVideo.com), he would learn…

From NinaMay.com:

Nina May is the Founder and Chairman of the Renaissance Foundation, an international leadership organization with offices in the US and the Republic of Korea. The Renaissance Foundation hosts international seminars, exchanges and events that bring business and political leaders of different countries and cultural backgrounds together.

Nina is the producer/director, and editor of the award winning documentary, “Emancipation Revelation Revolution.”(ERRVideo.com).

Anyone who can find the specific name of an ‘award’ that the film has won will receive a fantasy dream date with Renaissance Foundation member Marie Jon’ — or, variously to taste, with Ben Hunka-Hunka Burnin’ Shapiro.

The Wright Questions For Obama

“They ain’t got enough real ones here,” Medved notes. “They got to have an artificial one.”*

• I had never noticed just how … black Barack Obama was until he pointed it out himself two weeks ago in a speech. Now I can’t stop thinking about it!

WTF:

The Justice Department sent a legal memorandum to the Pentagon in 2003 asserting that federal laws prohibiting assault, maiming and other crimes did not apply to military interrogators who questioned al-Qaeda captives because the president’s ultimate authority as commander in chief overrode such statutes. […]

“If a government defendant were to harm an enemy combatant during an interrogation in a manner that might arguably violate a criminal prohibition, he would be doing so in order to prevent further attacks on the United States by the al Qaeda terrorist network,” Yoo wrote. “In that case, we believe that he could argue that the executive branch’s constitutional authority to protect the nation from attack justified his actions.”

Interrogators who harmed a prisoner would be protected by a “national and international version of the right to self-defense,” Yoo wrote. He also articulated a definition of illegal conduct in interrogations — that it must “shock the conscience” — that the Bush administration advocated for years.

“Whether conduct is conscience-shocking turns in part on whether it is without any justification,” Yoo wrote, explaining, for example, that it would have to be inspired by malice or sadism before it could be prosecuted.

In other words, torture is only torture when the torturer feels guilty about doing it afterward.

Which assures that the only people who will ever be prosecuted for torture are the whistle-blowers.

Joseph Heller had no idea how crazy this shit could get. Jesus H.

Gavin adds: Well, not just whistle-blowers. That definition of torture also allows for the prosecution of ‘bad apples,’¹ as with the Abu Ghraib affair. Naturally, their superiors would be unmaliciously managing paperwork and personnel matters as the blood and excrement spattered the cell walls.

Kinda reminds you of something, doesn’t it?

…’Cuz it’s a trap for folks who want to plagiarize them, according to champion misorthographer Jay Tea over at CheezWhizBang:

I have a few pet peeves. One of them is plagiarism. I have absolutely no patience or tolerance for those who take others’ work as their own. I’ve busted a few people who rip off my stuff here at Wizbang — it’s remarkable how well a “Google trap” can work. I just make sure to make up certain phrases or words or deliberately misspell a couple of words every now and then, then do a Google and a Technorati search on them after a couple of days. It works remarkably well.

Uh huh. Sure. Whatever you say. And isn’t stealing stuff from CheezWhizBang its own punishment?

[h/t Helen]

[Oops! Post author corrected. Sorry, Gavin!]

Gavin adds: Know probelm!

Clif adds: It seems that Jay Tea has had a visit from the Sadly, No! Helpful Tips Department:

Seems that Jay Tea more or less missed the point that misspelling words was, well, pointless. Oh well. Trying to help these people is like trying to snort Cheeto dust through a cocktail straw — even if there were a reason to do it, it won’t work. And, of course, the sole example of plagiarism that Jay Tea proffers is a broken link. And I really do have pictures of me having sex with Brad Pitt and I would so totally show them to you except that they are incredibly valuable and my insurance company doesn’t allow me to take them out of the safe deposit box in that Swiss bank vault to show anybody in case they might get stolen or something.

Barack’s obomination — did he lie?

• Say, here’s one: You know those false charges of dishonesty and incompetence that liberals keep making against George W. Bush? What if, uh, Michelle Malkin, and another thing, and okay wait, long story short: What if the Rev. Wright controversy is a unique opportunity for conservatives and liberals to join forces. . .against the dishonesty and incompetence of Mr. Barack O’Shifty McScary Lynton Kwesi Baba-Olatunji-Bama? Heh heh. On the other hand, credit where credit is due: In a being-a-black-guy contest, Obama is clearly the superior candidate. (Nyuck-nyuck.)

The Huffington Post and Pajamas Media – Who’s got the magic?

Roger L. Simon: able to leap over Huffington Post in a single
bound!

• Who cares if Huffington Post gets 3.7 million unique visitors per month? We get 4 million visitors if you also count the people who visit the blogs on our blogroll. And it’s 8 million if you also include the people who visit the blogs on the blogrolls of the blogs on our blogroll. Nyah-nyah-nyah. So there.

ABOVE: Sassy Cassy Fiano and friends

When Cassy Fiano isn’t complaining about the grooming habits of guys she’s dated, she is over at CheezWhizBang posting stuff that, even by that site’s abysmally low standards, is, well, downright embarrassing. In one of her latest posts, she has her spaghetti straps cooked up beyond al dente over her discovery that Planned Parenthood isn’t about to go broke.

[Planned Parent report for the 2006 – 2007 fiscal year is even better. They made over $1 billion in profits.

A new annual report from Planned Parenthood shows the nation’s largest abortion business has made over $1 billion in income for the first time in its history. The non-profit pro-abortion group shows the historical gain in its new annual report covering 2006-2007.

While Planned Parenthood made $972 million in its 2005-2006 annual report, last fiscal year it brought in $1.017 billion.

…

Planned Parenthood reveals it has doubled “excess of revenue over expenses” funds from $55.7 million in 2005 to $112 million in 2006. …

Maybe this is a dumb question. But at what point does the government take away your non-profit status? I’d think reporting over $1 billion in profits would be a pretty big red flag.

Just for giggles, let’s go back and review what Sassy Cassy said was the reason she won’t date liberals:

I tend not to date liberals, for a reason. Politics is so important to what I do and I follow it so much. I can’t respect a guy who’s liberal all that much because it makes me question his intelligence. So, that’s a big minus because I’m thinking how smart can this guy be if he thinks John Kerry is a great politician? (Laughs) If he thinks Barack Obama would be a great President, I think, gee, how bright could this guy be?

More to the point, how bright can someone be who can’t tell the difference between income and profits? Or who can’t figure out that “excess of revenue over expenses” of $112 million means that the company made $112 million, not $1 billion, in profits?
