 Former Komen VP on Planned Parenthood controversy http://video.msnbc.msn.com/mitchell-reports/49022043/#49022043 Komen controversy drags down San Francisco breast cancer walk participation, SAN FRANCISCO -- The last time Alice Heiman participated in the Susan G. Komen walk in San Francisco to raise money for breast cancer, she gathered a group of friends and made a big trip from her home in Reno to support a cause close to her heart. This year, though, nine months after the national organization sparked outrage when it refused to fund Planned Parenthood, she's ignoring donation requests that keep popping up in her inbox and has no plans for a return trip. She's not alone. Just days before Sunday's 5k Race for the Cure along the Embarcadero in San Francisco, registration is down about 50 percent from last year. Donations to the local chapter are down as well, nearly 65 percent, to $76,000 so far this year compared with $212,000 at this time last year. http://www.mercurynews.com/health/ci_21456373/komen-controversy-drags-down-san-francisco-breast-cancer Karl Rove told Komen to back off Planned Parenthood, says Karen Handel “We’re so sorry,” said Nancy. “We’re so sorry. But we just have to reverse course.” [...] Nancy’s reply stunned me. “Karen, I’ve talked to a lot of people. And even Karl says we have to backtrack. There’s just no other way.” “Karl? Who’s Karl?” She looked at me strangely as if I should know exactly who she was talking about. She said, “Karl Rove!” Donate to a better charity, because this one seems to full of back stabbing cat ladies. Apologies for using cat ladies, but on a scale from 1 to a 100, they have like 1000 cats.

Chitin posted:Are these available somewhere in high def? Those were the highest I could find, but I didn't look very hard. Put them into tineye and report back if you find any higher res. They were made by Fro, who also made these, which are for sale in a limited run of 100 signed and numbered prints:   It almost makes me think a goon is behind those. Fro didn't make this, but I found it in this gallery of occupy posters and I like it:  Edit: Man, I am totally digging this Fro stuff, I might have to order one. More Fro artwork (that is vaguely political):

Some random propaganda: "Study the Soviet Union to advance to world-class levels of science"  "Every bullet in a German!"  "Links of the same chain. Thousands of Arab patriots languish without trial in Israeli prisons and concentration camps"  "The worker in the empire of the swastika"        also, Trotsky's hat! I want one

MoonTuna posted:Komen junk Adding some stuff to this, everyone should read Barbara Ehrenreich's Welcome to Cancerland: Barbara Ehrenreich posted:If you can't run, bike, or climb a mountain for the cure -- all of which endeavors are routine beneficiaries of corporate sponsorship -- you can always purchase one of the many products with a breast cancer theme. There are 2.2 million American women in various stages of their breast-cancer careers, who, along with anxious relatives, make up a significant market for all things breast-cancer-related. Bears, for example: I have identified four distinct lines, or species, of these creatures, including "Carol," the Remembrance Bear; "Hope," the Breast Cancer Research Bear, which wears a pink turban as if to conceal chemotherapy-induced baldness; the "Susan Bear," named for Nancy Brinker's deceased sister, Susan; and the new Nick & Nora Wish Upon a Star Bear, available, along with the Susan Bear, at the Komen Foundation website's "marketplace."   This perfume was "raising a stink" (ha, ha) because it contained ingredients that are suspected or known carcinogens:  KomenWatch is another good source for explaining problems with the Susan G. Komen Foundation and similar organizations.

Is there something in particular he wrote recently, or do you just dislike him categorically?

 Although Adams knew that Komen spends a large fraction of its revenue on raising awareness of breast cancer and promoting screening, she said that the much smaller amount that goes to finding a cure "is definitely a concern; 15 percent is shockingly small." The organization's 2011 financial statement reports that 43 percent of donations were spent on education, 18 percent on fund-raising and administration, 15 percent on research awards and grants, 12 percent on screening and 5 percent on treatment. (Various other items accounted for the rest.) http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/08/us-usa-healthcare-komen-research-idUSTRE8171KW20120208

 This is a cat. Simpson/Bowles means my grandparents get to ask him what recommendations he has for food. After today's/tonight's gently caress You, Mitt Romney bonanza, I'm looking forward to the week's back and forth. I'm hoping it forces Romney out of his comfort pocket and causes him to haul off and just start swearing at reporters hard core, like a sailor on dust, in the middle of a press conference. I know there's a hard floor for his support and that floor is probably at least 30% but I love to see someone like Mitt get whacked over and over.  This is a cat. Romney would like one fed to him.
