UPDATE I: Family Guy’ Voice Actor (Andrea Fay Friedman,) Says Palin ‘Does Not Have a Sense of Humor’

One person who supports the “Family Guy” staff is Andrea Fay Friedman, the 39-year-old actor and public speaker who played Ellen in that episode. Like the character, Ms. Friedman also has Down syndrome.

In an e-mail message sent on Thursday to The New York Times, Ms. Friedman wrote:

I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm.”

In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life.

How sad that once an actor, no matter who they are or what their disability is becomes a mind-numb product of the Hollywood system and will do and say anything for a buck.

Gee Ms. Friedman, do you also think that kicking puppies, knocking down old people and kicking the crutches out from poeple is funny too? What because you have Downs Syndrome, you think that gives you the right to make fun of other with Down’s? You poor warped, sad individual.

How come the Times did not print the entire email, The Gawker did. Notice something missing from The Times?

I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm.”

In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes.

This is how insane the moonbat LEFT is. An individual with Downs is willing to throw other disabled Downs under the bus because of the political party that their parents are affiliated with. SICK!!!

UN Climate Chief Yvo de Boer Gets Out of Dodge

Yvo de Boer, the UN Climate chief has announced that he will step down from his position in July 2010. But of course this has nothing to do with the recent global warming scandal and the total and complete failure of the recent Copenhagen Convention where is you were to believe the global warming propagandists, all they accomplished was to increase the global warming carbon footprint, not decrease it.

The U.N. climate chief Yvo de Boer has resigned to join a consultancy group as an adviser, the U.N. climate secretariat said on Thursday, two months after a disappointing Copenhagen summit.

De Boer will step down on July 1 to join KPMG, the U.N. framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC) said in a statement. He has led the agency since 2006.

“It was a difficult decision to make, but I believe the time is ripe for me to take on a new challenge, working on climate and sustainability with the private sector and academia,” de Boer said in the statement.

The decision was probably ripe to get out of dodge in the wake of the growing skepticism of global warming scientists claims, global warming propagandists scandals, and misinformation.  Maybe Al Gore will have a new job?

Unexpectedly? First Time Claims for Unemployment Benefits Rise by 31K

Wow, nothing like some factual job numbers to disprove the Presidents claims that his trillion dollar stimulus plan worked.

The economic numbers are out this morning and they are not good. The number of newly laid-off workers filing applications for unemployment benefits  surged last week to 31,000 after having fallen sharply in the previous week. It was reported as “unexpected”. Unexpected to who? Does any one not really think that there are a wealth of people out there who are unemployed who have not just yet filed? It is just like the unemployment number. You cannot continue to lose jobs every month and have the % decrease.

Any one who thinks that the job hiring situation is getting better in America is sorely mistaken.

One Year Anniversary of Trillion Dollar Stimulus, Obama Applauds as Success … Where are the Jobs?

The One Year Anniversary of the $787 billion jobs bill … how’s the “hopee, changee” thing doing for you?

It was the one year anniversary of the Obama/Democrat $787 billion stimulus package that was supposed to keep unemployment at 8% and create so many shovel ready jobs. The only thing that appeared to be “shovel ready” was Obama and his minions rhetoric.

A note to America … you know when you know that a government spending plan that promises to create jobs is an abject failure? When you have to be told just how good a plan it is and the successes of the plan by the people who gave you the plan.

That is exactly what Barack Obama and his minions did yesterday as they spread out across the country to tell unemployed Americans just how great Obama’s $787 billion spending plan was for job. Americans know just what an EPIC FAILURE this bill was and for Obama and his band of merry men to claim the benefits of this colossal disaster only further proves why his poll numbers have tanked and the people do not trust Obama on the economy.

Obama, in a White House speech, said he believed the stimulus will save or create 1.5 million jobs in 2010 after saving or creating as many as 2 million jobs thus far.

His point was to show that the stimulus, while admittedly unpopular, had the effect of keeping the U.S. economy from plunging into a second Great Depression.

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) – “Today’s anniversary of the Democrats’ trillion-dollar ‘stimulus’ marks one year of broken promises, bloated government, and wasteful spending.”

“Where are the jobs?”

The Gateway Pundit has more of Republican Whip Eric Cantor list of top 12 lowlights from the Democrat Stimulus bill from this past year. Think your hard earned tax dollars were well spent on this pork barrel spending bill disguised as a jobs stimulus bill? Check out what your money was spent on. Here are just a couple of gems.

6. Did You Save 30 Seconds On Your Last Trip Through Thedford, Nebraska? $7 million in taxpayer stimulus funds are being used to build a bridge in Thedford, Nebraska. The purpose of the bridge? Helping 168 residents avoid a 30 second wait at a local train crossing.

12. At Least You Can Skateboard While Your Town Goes Bankrupt The city of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, which has a $5.2 million school budget deficit and about a $4.8 million municipal deficit and has eliminated about 40 city jobs so far this year, announced that they will spend $550,000 in federal stimulus money to construct a skateboard park at a local school, because it is “shovel-ready.”

More Global Warming, Lake Erie Frozen Over, First Time in 14 Years … More People Cast Doubt on Man Made Global Warming

According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, 47% of Americans now blame Global Warming on planetary trends and not man. Only 35% believe that it is caused by man’s activity. What does this mean, the science is much in question that has blamed man for the earth’s fever.

There’s nothing political about global warming now is there?

Belief that human activity is the primary cause of global warming has declined significantly. In April 2008, the numbers were nearly the mirror image of the current numbers. At that time, 47% blamed human activity and only 34% named long term planetary trends as the reason for climate change.

Since July, the number who believe long-term planetary trends are the chief culprit have ranged from 47% to 50%. Those who blame human activity have ranged from 34% to 42% in the same period.

Is it any wonder that people are not casting doubt on man made global warming in the wake of the scandals from the global warming scientist crowd?

Even global warming expert Professor Phil Jones admitted this weekend that there has been no significant global warming in the last 15 years.

Looks an awful lot like they have some major global warming going on at the Great Lakes.  For the first time in 14 years Lake Erie is frozen over. No wonder the Al Gore’s and other global waring agendists want to change the name to “climate change“. The global warming crowd would say that a frozen lake has nothing to do with global warming. Of course if it had no ice on it what-so-ever, that would be indicative of global warming.

With only 35% of people still believing that man is the cause of global warming, Obama finds himself once again on the wrong side of an issue as he still looks to push his climate change agenda of Cap & Tax that will further harm the US economy.
