Ain’t Isht Bolitics: Desperate Romney GOP Folk Attacking Obama’s Mother Claiming This Guy Is Obama’s Real Dad

Tea Party Members Drag Obama’s Mother In Smear Campaign SMH. These folks have now reached an all time low in the Obama smear campaign…. Via The Daily Beast: For a while now, pictures purporting to show Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, modeling in 1950s bondage and fetish porn have been floating around the darker corners of the Internet. Now, though, they’ve made their way into a pseudo-documentary, Joel Gilbert’s Dreams From My Real Father, which is being mailed to voters in swing states, promoted by several Tea Party groups and by at least one high-level Republican. At the same time, Dinesh D’Souza’s latest book, Obama’s America—the first of all his works to hit the top spot on The New York Times bestseller list—has a chapter essentially calling Dunham a fat slore. If Obama is reelected, it’s hard to imagine where the right goes from here. It’s tempting to ignore Dreams From My Real Father because it’s so preposterous. The movie claims that Obama’s actual father was the poet and left-wing activist Frank Marshall Davis, who Dunham met through her father, who was a CIA agent merely posing as a furniture salesman. “My election was not a sudden political phenomenon,” says the narrator, speaking as if he were Obama reading his autobiography. “It was the culmination of an American socialist movement that my real father, Frank Marshall Davis, nurtured in Chicago and Hawaii, and has been quietly infiltrating the U.S. economy, universities, and media for decades.” D’Souza argues that part of the reason Ann Dunham sent Obama to live with her parents in Hawaii was so she could pursue affairs with Indonesian men. “Ann’s sexual adventuring may seem a little surprising in view of the fact that she was a large woman who kept getting larger,” he writes. On the next page, he continues, “Learning about Ann’s sexual adventures in Indonesia, I realized how wrong I had been to consider Barack Obama Sr. the playboy … Ann … was the real playgirl, and despite all her reservations about power, she was using her American background and economic and social power to purchase the romantic attention of third-world men.” Wow. Really?? SMH at these clowns.

Travis Decker, Clueless San Diego Padres Fan, Drilled By Foul Ball in Mid-Facebook Update

San Diego Padres fan Travis Decker learned the hard way over the weekend that Facebook and baseball don’t always mix. At least not live baseball. He was struck hard by a foul ball in the upper deck of the right field stands at Petco Park while attempting to “check in” to the stadium on his phone. Decker was too busy trying to update the universe that he was at Petco, he failed to pay attention to the exciting action at Petco. To his own detriment. That’s gotta hurt, but give Travis credit for being a good sport at least: Your browser does not support iframes. Padres Fan Hit By Foul Ball This is the second most embarrassing video to come out of America’s Finest City in the past week, with the first being the epic San Diego fireworks fail. Pull it together, SD!

Joshua Garlathy, Deadbeat Dad, Lured Out of Hiding By Promise of Role in Jennifer Aniston Rom-Com

In articles-that-are-somehow-real-and-not-from-the-Onion news, a man who owed over $32,000 in child support was recently lured out of hiding. With the promise of a role in a new Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy. After getting a call from the film’s “producers,” Joshua Garlathy didn’t think twice about leaving his Hawaii hideout and heading back to Allentown, Pa. There, his ex-girlfriend had spent 19 YEARS trying to get Garlathy to pay the money he owes to support their kid to no avail … until an idea struck. The “producer” was actually bounty hunter Scott Bernstein, and Banished in Brooklyn – in which Garlathy would play “a small part as a guitar-strumming bad guy by the name of Dirty Nick” – is not a real movie, though it sounds right up Jen’s alley. Hope Dog Chapman is taking notes. Amazingly, this is not the first plot of its kind. In Alabama, Operation Iron Snare rounded up deadbeat parents with Alabama-Auburn football tickets.

Larry Ellison, Oracle CEO, Buys Lanai Island in Hawaii

Oracle co-founder CEO Larry Ellison will soon be the proud owner of Lanai, Hawaii’s sixth-largest island. Seriously, he bought 98 percent of the thing. The price? A relatively modest $500-600 million, according to reports. Ellison hasn’t said what he plans to do with the vast majority of the island’s 141 square miles, but the sellers said he plans substantial investments. Reports say he plans to create jobs and stimulate tourism to the “Pineapple Island” once owned in the 1920s by the founder of Dole Foods Co. Ellison’s purchase was publicly announced by Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie. Landowner Castle & Cooke, who owned the property Ellison bought, has filed a transfer application with the Public Utilities Commission, he says. With nearly 50 miles of coastline, just two resorts and zero traffic lights, Lanai boasts little conventional development but plenty of unspoiled charm. To put it in perspective, an unnamed source equated Ellison’s purchase of Lanai as the continental U.S. equivalent of buying Montana.

‘Hunger Games’: Five Things We Learned At Movie Awards

From filming locations to Finnick contenders, here are the facts we reaped from the stars on the big night. By Amy Wilkinson Alexander Ludwig and Josh Hutcherson at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images ” The Hunger Games ” made its MTV Movie Awards debut this past weekend, and the odds were clearly in the series’ favor as it walked away from the star-studded arena as victor, clutching four Golden Popcorns triumphantly. We, in turn, picked up a few party favors as well, namely five things about the cinematic series and its stars. Check them out: The Games Have Only Begun If there was any question whether “The Hunger Games” could carry “Twilight”‘s banner once the vampire romance makes its final Movie Awards appearance in 2013, the dystopian flick’s four wins set that debate to rest. With statuettes for Best Female Performance (Jennifer Lawrence), Best Male Performance (Josh Hutcherson), Best Fight (Lawrence, Hutcherson and Alexander Ludwig) and Best On-Screen Transformation (Elizabeth Banks), we expect “The Hunger Games” series to set the ceremony on fire for years to come. Jennifer Lawrence and Elizabeth Banks Are Good Sports We knew co-stars Lawrence and Banks had well-honed senses of humor, but they continued to prove their gameness with two much-talked about moments during the show. In one of the night’s spoofs, Lawrence starred as herself — the unwitting victim of hapless archery expert Lester Boonshaft (played with aplomb by “The Soup” host Joel McHale). Let’s just say we don’t know a lot of actresses willing to wear an arrow through their head. Then, in a lovely unscripted moment during her acceptance speech for Best On-Screen Transformation, Banks was surrounded by presenters and “Magic Mike” stars Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey and Joe Manganiello (clad in half a fireman’s uniform), Banks (clearly enjoying the gyrating) mused, “I just want to thank MTV for this moment right here. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, MTV. This is just the best moment of my life.” Buy Your Plane Ticket For Georgia … Maybe Thanks to the Quarter Quell’s jungle-like arena, the stars of “Catching Fire” have been anticipating a tropical shoot locale for some time now, but Hutcherson revealed the cast could be heading down south, as well. “I haven’t heard anything confirmed yet, but Atlanta is definitely a big possibility,” he said. “And I know they’re looking at Hawaii too for some of the tropical stuff when we’re in the games. It’s gonna be somewhere nice!” We’re packing our sunscreen already, Josh. Finnick Has Yet To Be Found… Not so fast, Internet. Despite rumors that Finnick casting was down to actors Armie Hammer, Garrett Hedlund and Taylor Kitsch , producer Nina Jacobson told the L.A. Times that the studio is far from finding front-runners. “That’s the thing that’s crazy — people are like way ahead of where we are,” she said. “We’ve not narrowed things down by any means. It’s funny to see how things can take on a life of their own.” So all you young, handsome, incredibly well-chiseled Hollywood actor types, you still have time to order a trident off eBay for auditions! …Which Gives Cast Mates Time To Brainstorm Despite the ardent fan and online speculation, many “Hunger Games” stars have yet to make their casting picks for the District 4 tribute. “I don’t [know], honestly,” Banks said. “Everybody that’s ever been mentioned seems fantastic. I’m sure they’ll find the right fit. I think the cast has come together in such an amazing way so far, and I know that their goal is to keep adding the best people and the people that it’s gonna be great.” Hutcherson added that he needs to brush up on the source material before weighing in. “I mean, honestly, I have no idea. I definitely need to re-read the second book,” he said. “I haven’t read it since I first read them, before the first one. So I think I kind of need to read it again to get a better grasp.” What was your favorite “Hunger Games” moment at the MTV Movie Awards?

Defense of Marriage Act Ruled Unconstitutional

An appeals court ruled Thursday that the Defense of Marriage Act, a law that essentially denies a host of benefits to gay married couples, is unconstitutional. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston said the law, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, discriminates against gay couples. Ya think? The law was passed in 1996 by a Republican-led Congress at a time when it appeared as if Hawaii would become the first state to legalize gay marriage. Since then, many states have instituted their own bans on gay marriage, while eight states have approved it. Massachusetts was the first in 2004. The appeals court ruled the DOMA is unconstitutional because it interferes with the right of a state to define marriage and denies married gay couples federal benefits given to heterosexual married couples, including the ability to file joint tax returns. Somewhere in Indiana, this church kid is singing an angry song. During arguments before the appeals court last month, a lawyer for gay married couples said the law amounts to “across-the-board disrespect.” The couples argued that the power to define and regulate marriage had been left to states for more than 200 years before Congress passed this. An attorney defending the law argued that Congress “wanted to preserve a traditional and uniform definition of marriage” and maintains the power to define terms used to federal statutes to distribute federal benefits. The court did not agree. Last year, President Barack Obama announced the U.S. Department of Justice would no longer defend the constitutionality of the law. Obama voiced support for gay marriage earlier this spring, becoming the first U.S. President to do so. Your view on same-sex marriage :

Obama Pot-Smoking Details Revealed in New Book

President Barack Obama’s pot-smoking past is detailed in Barack Obama: The Story , a new biography of the Commander-in-Chief by David Maraniss, who had previously revealed Obama’s early girlfriends (including Genevieve Cook ) in Vanity Fair . The President himself has been remarkably and refreshingly candid about his past drug use, but new details of Obama smoking marijuana with his buddies at Hawaii’s Punahou School are still setting the web ablaze (sorry). Maraniss writes , “When a joint was making the rounds, [Obama] often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted ‘Intercepted!’ and took an extra hit.” Yeah. Let’s all take a moment and let that image sink in. “But Obama’s buddies, who called themselves the “Choom Gang,” didn’t mind him messing up the rotation,” he continues. “After all, this was Hawaii.” Indeed. That’s not all. Maraniss writes that Obama was known for starting a trend called “TA,” short for “total absorption.” Use your imagination. “When you were with ‘Barry’ and pals, if you exhaled precious pakalolo (Hawaiian slang for marijuana, meaning “numbing tobacco”) instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs, you were assessed a penalty,” writes the author. “Your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around.” Maraniss also describes Obama’s technique of “roof hits” while hot-boxing cars … i.e. smoking up with all the windows closed: “When the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling.” The book is one of two biographies making the rounds about Obama. The Amateur , by Edward Klein, contains this alleged Obama divorce story . Again, it’s worth noting Obama has been less than shy about his drug use in the past, writing about the topic in his memoir Dreams from My Father . “Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it,” the future president wrote in the memoir, before taking a darker tone. “Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn’t been about that, me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by them, anyway.” “I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory.” As Obama moved to higher stage, he’s also been forthcoming about drug use. On Bill Clinton’s absurd claim that he had once tried marijuana but “didn’t inhale,” Obama said smiling in 2007, “That was the point, wasn’t it?”
