Why is Lady Gaga's Meat Dress considered hip, but Sarah Palin standing in front of a Turkey Farm/Slaughterhouse draws a lot of flank?

Click here to see original photo source and article.


When I wrote about Sarah Palin standing in front of a Turkey Farm/Slaughterhouse in November of 2008, I pointed out that raising awareness of how Turkeys are slaughtered for our Thanksgiving enjoyment is not something Sarah Palin should get flack over.

"But, but, she didn't know what was going on in the background" clamored the liberal and progressive community. The truth is, Sarah Palin did not care what was in the background. In my opinion the reason Palin did not care about what was in the background was because we eat Turkeys, and this is how they are prepped. And yet, people like Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann of MSNBC just ridiculed her to no end over the Turkey interview video.

Amazing the flack that Sarah Palin also took over the budget for her wardrobe during the 2008 presidential race. Maybe Lady Gaga's meat dress was "affordable".

So, what about Lady Gaga? Can someone explain why Lady Gaga gets a free pass from the MTV awards and the liberal media for wearing raw meat all over her body and then accepting an award dressed that way while Sarah Palin is vilified for doing an interview in front of a Turkey farm / slaughterhouse?

The two acts are inseparable, and yet, does the liberal media treat them in an equal light?

Rachel Maddow and Bernie Sanders (Independent) Vermont, let the DailyPUMA cat out of the bag.

Update - April 11, 2016. The reason I do not support Bernie Sanders in 2016 is in the seven years since this article was first written I don't think he ever really came up with anything that would actually help consumers reduce their own debt. Instead Mr. Sanders railed against Wall Street when the more viable solution was to help consumers struggling to get out of debt.   End of Update.

I have predicted for the last two years that the economy was going to tank, I even wrote two websites over two years ago warning of the theft of money from the american consumer by the Banks and Wall Street. Credit-Card-Cap.com and Credit-Protector.com

Both Websites expose financial methods that loaning institutions have used to rob americans of billions upon billions of dollars.

Tonight (February 3rd, 2009), Rachel Maddow had Bernie Sanders on, a Vermont INDEPENDENT congressman who said something of real substance.

Here is the transcript of a crucial part of the Rachel Maddow, Bernie Sanders interview. I personally transcribed it, please link to it if you like (versus just cutting and pasting it) as it took quite a while to transcribe.

Rachel Maddow

If this executive pay cut can be done well, can be done without loopholes and it works, what's next on the agenda? Do you think in terms of making sure that the bailout money that is already committed, because the bailout money is already outflowing, that it should, can be used in a less exploitive, less immoral way?


Senator Bernie Sanders
Well Rachel, this is the problem with this issue, is, it is so big, that nobody can get their hands on it. It is not just 700 billion dollars, as you know the fed has lent out 2.5 trillion dollars. The president is probably going to ask for more top money.

The fed, we think, is going to lend out trillions more. So what we need to do, among many other things, is we need to figure out a way that we do more than get back to where we were a couple of years ago, by making the institutions stable.

If the taxpayers of this country are putting such a huge amount of money into financial institutions, we need financial institutions that are gonna be beholden to the needs of ordinary americans and not go back to where we were... (as in a couple years ago.)

For example, Just one example. Right now, we're bailing out banks which are charging american taxpayers 25 or 30 percent interest rates on their credit cards. Does that make sense to anybody?

We're giving banks money and they're not telling us how their spending it. We're trying to loosen up credit in america, they're not doing it.


Sanders went on to talk about actually prosecuting the richest people on the planet who may have performed misdeeds that have led to the current situation, and wondered if the justice department was up to the task prosecuting those who are culpable.

Now, I have been advocating an interest free paydown of all credit card debt on my WallStreetChange blog. Bernie Sanders has just said the exact same thing I have been saying about credit card debt. Credit Card Interest charges are suffocating the life support out of the economy and it makes no sense to give the banks more money if they cannot pass the savings on to the consumer in any way.

Barack Obama needs to be funding research and completion of photovoltaic plastics which would do two things at the same time. Photovoltaic plastics lighten the weight of all cargo carriers that travel by ground or water, which instantly improves the efficiency of any battery powered systems because of the lighter weight. Plus, the photovoltaic technology imbedded into the plastic means that the cargo carriers are actually rergenerating part of their own energy even as they travel! Because the carrier's weight has been reduced, whatever is regenerated will power the carrier that much farther.

Let the consumer sweat the smaller stuff. The one trillion dollars in credit card debt is producing 250 billion dollars a year in new interest charges. The republicans want a huge tax cut, the democrats want to give money out, those two ideas merge together if the consumer is given a reasonable way to pay down their own debts via zero percent credit card interest rates to those who desire to pay down their debt.

I LIKE BLAGO! BLAGO's Rachel Maddow show interview was spectacular!

Click here for most recent DailyPUMA article.

Wow, I really like Blago! Probably the easiest politician to listen to, ever! Blago's quote of Martin Luther King was tremendous.
"We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. " -MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
According to Maddow, if Barack Obama raises 10 million dollars to help retire Hillary Clinton's debt, that is not trading services, whereas if Blago tries to get a public benefit by trading the senate seat, that is trading services.

They're the same thing. Well, maybe not exactly the same thing, but close enough.

I think somebody on Barack's side went after Blago because Blago would have made a solid presidential candidate 4 years from now. Blago would have had Iowans eating out of his hand.

How dare Blago try and get free public transportation service for seniors! How dare Blago try and get low cost drugs from Canada for all Illinoians, just like several other governors of other states have already done. How dare he!

According to Maddow, maybe not all 13 charges are valid, but SOME are! Since when is it ok to pad the number of impeachment indictments with the idea that at least one will stick?

IT IS NOT OK TO IMPEACHMENT PAD!

Talk about abuse of power by the Illinois congress. sheesh. The Illinois congress will be more corrupt than ever if they actually think it was ethical to come up with 13 impeachment charges against Blago just to make sure at least one sticks. These are typical, spineless, lawyer politician tactics that employ Dick Cheney buckshot methods to make sure they get at least one charge to stick.

Arianna Huffington of Huffington Post (Meant as Satire Only) Suffers Nervous Breakdown. (Meant as Satire only)

For the latest DailyPUMA article, click here.

Update (10 years later). Of all the DailyPUMA articles I have written over the years, why has this one suddenly gotten a bunch of hits? Context is... I was annoyed back in 2008 at how many entities had to get involved and influence the 2008 Democrat nomination process. Arianna Huffington was one of them. When one considers how difficult the road has been for woman to gain traction in higher positions of power and responsibility, two equally capable women, Hillary Clinton and Arianna Huffington, could find no common ground back then. While it probably was a good thing that we finally had an African American President, Barack Obama in my opinion was, as Arianna Huffington would later state,  "a bankcentric president", and who, in my opinion, screwed over millions of baby boomers when he cut them off from taking out a Home Equity Line of Equity if they had lost their job.  End of update, Sat. Oct. 4, 2019)

(The following is Hostile Satire).

It appears that Arianna Huffington never got over her own failed attempt at a TV show eleven years ago called Beat the Press. (I admit it was a great idea for a TV show, however I think Arianna needed either more than one co-host, or a different co-host). Perhaps unable to deal with the stress of other woman gaining more notoriety than herself, Arianna Huffington appears to have lost it. Has the continued success of both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin ruined Rock Huffington? (now that's funny, no?).

As both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin continue their successful political careers, the best Arianna Huffington can do is stay in the background, write an occasional book, get ignored, and stew about it.

It is believed that Hillary Clinton's desire to have her biggest detractors removed from Barack Obama's team as terms of her accepting Secretary of State have set Ms. Huffington into orbit.

Just last week Huffington was allegedly seen arguing with Keith Olbermann's make up person about adding a graying mustache and silver streaks to her hair so she could "do the news".

Cowering in the corner as Huffington attempted to apply silver mustache and matching silver branded hair to herself, Olbermann, known to rant at anything in a female form, decided the best course of action was to flee the station as he yelled, Scooby dooooo to the rescue.

Once Huffington was talked out of her desire to host Olbermann's show, she headed over to Rachel Maddow's set threatening to reveal that Maddow is Olbermann's altered ego, if she didn't get air time.

Huffington's takeover of the Maddow show lasted one night and was a resounding disaster. Only able to speak at half the speed and 1/5th the clarity of Maddow, Huffington held the Maddow show crew hostage for the entire hour as she shook her fist at the camera repeatedly and chortled througought the show, "I'm better than all of me put together."

Things would only get worse after Sarah Palin's interview in front of a Turkey "processing" plant which has set off additional bizarre behavior by Huffington. In a final fit of what can only be described as "I'm melting"... Huffington Post has run the following headline in an effort to derail the appointment of Hillary Clinton to Secretary of State...



One can only wonder who would give this person Venture Capital Funding to continue more of this same kind of petty garbage. (ouch, now that hurt).

Update: July 4, 2023). It's such a shame that the women of 2008 could not all get together and be on the same team because even though it may have been time for a black President, Obama's tenure ended Moderate Democrat Politics, literally, and what used to be tenable differences between Republican and Democrat policies have eroded into conflict far fiercer in tone and emotion.
