The Comedy of Rand Paul, straight from Wikipedia.

As you can see, I am crediting my source regarding Rand Paul plagiarizing several of his own speeches. I guess since I am crediting my source for this Rand Paul Plagiarizing speeches article I now cannot run for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

In October 2013, Paul was the subject of some controversy when it was discovered that he had plagiarized from Wikipedia part of a speech in support of Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli. Referencing the movie Gattaca, Paul quoted almost verbatim from the Wikipedia article about the film without citing the source.[111][112][113]

Evidence soon surfaced that Paul had copied passages in a number of his other speeches and published works nearly verbatim from other authors without giving credit to the original sources,[114][115] including in the speech he had given as the Tea Party rebuttal to the president's 2013 State of the Union address and in a three-page-long passage of Paul's book Government Bullies, which was taken directly from an article by the conservative think thank The Heritage Foundation.[116][117]  

When it became apparent that an op-ed article Paul had published in the Washington Times and testimony he had given before the Senate Judiciary Committee both contained material that was virtually identical to an article that had been published by another author in The Week a few days earlier,[118] the Washington Times said that the newspaper would no longer publish the weekly column Paul had been contributing to the paper.[119] 

After a week of almost daily news reports of new allegations of plagiarism, Paul said that he was being held to an "unfair standard", but would restructure his office in order to prevent mistakes in the future, if that would be what it would take "to make people leave me the hell alone".[120]

Now its CNN National Political Reporter Peter Hamby attacking Hillary Clinton.

Peter Hamby writes...(about a commercial showing Graham and Hillary Clinton getting along)

"But it's the first time one of Graham's opponents has tried to make hay out of his gracious attitude toward Clinton - and it's another signal that Clinton's standing among Republicans has diminished since she left the State Department a year ago and inched her way back into the political spotlight." 

Um, no it's not Mr. Hamby, that' s just YOUR deranged conclusion interjected into what starts out as an unbiased factual article that then strays into your opinionated nonsensical conclusion, being reported as fact. 

Hamby reveals earlier in the article that there are many republicans vying to win a chance to oppose Graham this fall, and that this is just one tactic that one lesser known candidate is using. 

How does this rise to Hillary Clinton losing popularity among Republicans? It doesn't mean anything other than a political strategy. For Mr. Hamby to imply this tactic by a minor republican candidate means something bad for Hillary Clinton is simply his OPINION, being reported as fact.

It's starting already. The Cable News Networks, desperate for a political battle, are apparently encouraging their alleged journalists to stoke the flames of controversy by interjecting their own opinion into their reporting. Since Hillary Clinton is considered the leader for now, she now has to put up with red herring reports that have the ulterior motive of placing doubt on her worthiness.

I would have left a comment under the CNN Hamby article but apparently the comments were closed less than one day after the article appeared. I got the notice of article from the Daily PUMA feed, couldn't have gotten it much sooner, so I am shut out of commenting over Hamby's idiocy.

Mitt Romney can't keep his stupid mouth shut regarding Bill Clinton.

Mitt Romney's revisionist history regarding Bill Clinton needs to be thoroughly cleansed. Romney thinks that Bill Clinton embarrassed the country. 

Did you all know several of the Republican 12 who went after Bill Clinton in the 90's were having their own affairs? Did you know some of the original 12 republican witch hunters had to resign. Did you know that Larry Flynt had info on some of the 12 Bill Clinton witch hunters but did not release the info. 

One of the most prominent Republicans back then did not even take part in the Bill Clinton witch hunt, aka New Gingrich, because he was involved with an intern himself!

I find it repulsive when out of touch billionaires like Mitt Romney think embarrassment matters more than intentionally and methodically destroying the middle class via absolutely unethical and ongoing parallel foreclosure practices. I find it repulsive when Mitt Romney  stays mum over the sequestration of the elderly's home equity they spent a lifetime building up and now can't access because their income is allegedly too low (it is not, but the standards have been set to make it look like they are too low).

It is this type of out touch mentality where "embarrassment" matters more than millions losing their homes that continues to disable the Republican party.

So lets just clean up Romney's contaminated bile. Bill Clinton is THE ONLY PRESIDENT in the last 90 years to LOWER his annual budget deficit for 8 consecutive years. Should Bill Clinton be embarrassed about that, Mr. Romney?

Bill Clinton left office MORE POPULAR than when he was elected and is the ONLY PRESIDENT over the last 90 years to achieve that feat as well. Should Bill Clinton be embarrassed about that, Mr. Romney?

As for Benghazi, 22 veterans commit suicide in the U.S. EVERYDAY. So explain to me Mr. Romney how Benghazi is a tempest and the suicides of 22 veterans a day in the U.S. is a teapot?

And then explain to me how Benghazi is a tempest while 911 didn't result in George Bush being grilled? The answer is as much as I have contempt for what the democrat higher ups did to Hillary Clinton in 2008, the democrats didn't go after George Bush for allowing the U.S. to be so easily compromised in 2001, yet insane Republican clown posses attempt to paint Benghazi as being worse than 911.

Attack on U.S. soil when we were forewarned, no heads roll, attack on foreign soil, heads roll. So Mr. Romney, which was worse, 911, or Benghazi? Mr. Romney, which IS worse, Benghazi, or 22 veterans committing suicide everyday in the U.S.

Krystal Ball is the latest Hillary Clinton Concern Troll, and yes, she works for MSNBC.

29 year old Krystal Ball, who claims to have been a big Hillary Clinton supporter in 2008 (lol, to that), has voiced her "concern" in an MSNBC commentary that 2016 is just not the right year for a Hillary Clinton presidency. This is known as "concern troll" commentary, pretending to want someone but then sobbing as they explain why "it just can't be, sigh".

In the past DailyPUMA has warned about MSNBC's Hillary Clinton Derangement Syndrome on several occasions. MSNBC's H.C.D.S. will also now be known as Progressive Insanity Syndrome, P.I.S. 

P.I.S. afflicts MSNBC and their inability to simply shut the f-up and let democrat voters decide who they want as their nominee in 2016. Would not surprise me if Arianna Huffington is lurking in the background, again. 

This person really hates Arianna Huffington.

Revisiting my three June 2008, PUMA blog shutdowns by what looks to be a company called Masergy Communications.

In June of 2008 many Hillary Clinton Puma bloggers had their blogs shut down for a few days. Google claimed that they thought they were spam blogs because of the links and had to review them one by one before allowing them to go back online. 

I had three blogs frozen for a few days between June 20, 2008 to June 24th, 2008. Don't recall the exact time frame. However, my stat counter at that time showed that my three blogs that were shut down had as a last visitor the same IP address, and all three blogs had the IP visit at almost the same moment in time, just before they were shut down.

The I.P. address was 64.47.55.246

Besides a New York Times Article in which it appears the comments have been hidden from view, nothing ever came of this as far as I know other than I did a "for the record" article in January of 2010.  

Many bloggers switched to a different blogging platform in protest of the shut down of Puma Blogs. Too bad because Google does have the best and most generous RSS feed options of probably any blogging format out there.

I tried looking up Masergy Communications on muckety dot com, but nothing came up then, and nothing comes up now. However, one could muckety the executive officers of Masergy communications and and see who they are connected to. Although I am not sure they are still the same officers now as in 2008.

Would be neat to know who initiated the massive shut down of PUMA blogs at such a critical moment in 2008.

Why the loss of Philip Seymour Hoffman is more than the Sum of One Actor.

Something has been gnawing at me about the unexpected death of Philip Seymour Hoffman, and I finally figured out what it was. Besides the fact that Mr. Hoffman was in his prime, and was able to bound back and forth from broadway to theatrical movies while receiving awards in both venues, there was something else that makes his loss deeply profound for the average movie goer who never met Mr. Hoffman but enjoyed his acting talent.

Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me that Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of the most decorated actors of our time who did not rely on guns as part of his own acting persona. Sure Mr. Hoffman appeared in movies with guns, but Mr. Hoffman as I recall was never publicized for his gun play or action hero panache, yet his characters still had relevance to virtually every movie he appeared in.

This is such a blow to people who are tired of all the gun "play" in movies. It further is a blow because Mr. Hoffman was still in the prime of his movie career and would most likely have dazzled for the next couple of decades without the need to brandish a gun.

For those of you who thought you might grow old watching an actor who rarely if ever relied on guns for his characters to have importance, you have been robbed. For those of you about to hit 50 who are tired of seeing our favorite actors brandishing guns, your future movie going choices may have just become leaner because of the premature passing of Mr. Philip Seymour Hoffman.
