My name is Andrea Fay Friedman. I was born with Down syndrome. I played the role of Ellen on the "Extra Large Medium" episode of Family Guy that was broadcast on Valentine's day. Although they gave me red hair on the show, I am really a blonde. I also wore a red wig for my role in " Smudge" but I was a blonde in "Life Goes On". 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.
here is a very well worded response to Billo the clown by one of my friends..
Sent our guy, Bill O' an email on this one, bro...thought you might like it...it's also a lesson in satire, but most will miss that.
Papa Bear-
You're on the wrong side of this "Family Guy" issue...Sarah excused Rush for using the word "retarded" because it was "satire". Well, according to the young woman who voiced the character for the long-running Fox Network program--Her name is Andrea Fay Friedman.-- "I think the word is 'sarcasm'". Sarcasm is the cousin of satire, and it would appear, this "challenged" (her word) young lady is far more understanding of comedy, and capable of handling herself than you, Sarah, and those of your ilk would give her credit for, and that is where the true travesty lies. Shame on you both!... See More
PS- Your staff should have done some homework before they let you pick up this one, Papa Bear...One moment on the interweb's would have told your hack staffers/researchers that this woman was mentally challenged. A couple of minutes of research into her family and personal history would have told you that she is more capable of speaking for herself and members of her community than either Sarah or you. You guys insult her and her peers by rushing to defend a group that has not asked for your help. You don't walk up to a person in a wheelchair and just start pushing them. I find the fact that Ms. Palin totes her child around in public without shoes or pants on to be a larger insult to that child than anything Seth McFarlane wrote. Again, quick research revealed that out of 40 public images of Ms. Palin in public with her baby prop, her child had shoes on in 3 of those images. In over half of the images he was pants-less. Which is the greater insult to an individual's self-respect, being asked to play a mentally challenged person as a mentally challenged actress, or, in the words of Ms. Friedman, being toted around "like a loaf of French bread"? Do you think Trig's first words will be, "Puts some pants and shoes on me Mommy!"? Time for another tirade to the staff, big guy. They're not doing their homework, and it's making you look bad.
Has anyone else noticed their Federal Income Tax rate increasing since the start of this year?
Only 12 % of people noticed that Obama lower the taxes for 95% of Americas last year. Instead of doing tax rebate like bush did. (to get re-elected) He lowered the amount that was taken Out of ur paycheck every time u got paid.
If you think your taxes are going up now.. is because they are going back to the way they were before..
I think is fuk up that tax breaks for us have expired but Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy are still in effect. They won't expire till this year.( GOP wants to extend it. of course) After costing tax payers like you and me 1 trillion dollars..
Looks like the recent cases of looney tunes Glenn Beck fans getting caught stockpiling weapons are getting to Beck. Now he is backing down on his so called "Revolution".. telling people to stay away from wingnuts.. like Glenn beck and Sarah Palin LOL
Not too long ago i reported about this guy stockpiling weapons who was a huge believer of Glenn Beck's "Obama's National Security Force" conspiracy theory... even wrote pages and pages about it... on his tea party website..
Well the reason i think Glenny is backing down with his revolution propaganda today.. i believe is because Joseph Andrew Stack left a note that rant about everything Glenn Beck and his tea party crown talk about everyday. I'm going to call it.. this guy was a right wing extremist... or a tea party member.. whatever he is... glenn beck realizes that this guy smells too much like one of his fans.. he is trying to cover his ass.. too bad we have videos of him calling for a revolution... and he is partly responsible by this act of domestic terrorism.
I found this post on Facebook and i wrote a little response that i think people who follow me should read in case you get one of this one liner talking points..
Obama just signed 10 billion dollars, yes 10 billion dollars to fight child obesity (to change schools lunch menus) seriously?! TIP- GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY AND "PLAYING" VIDEO GAMES DOESNT COUNT! BONUS TIP FROM ME- NO MCDONALDS! Anyone see a problem with 10 billion dollars on this cause?! Oh my people......
HERE IS MY RESPONSE
You guys are not thinking the big picture..
This one liner talking points you get from tv is whats wrong with America However, what you guys fail to notice that it might be the parents fault that their kids eat junk food at home.. But who controls what they eat at school?..
you can pack a lunch for your kids.. you might have the time and the money to do it.. but what about the parents who can't afford this? kids who get most of their nutrition because of government subsidized meal plans? what about the parents who work 2 or 3 jobs to even get by? screw them? perfect example of i got mine so screw you
Why are my tax dollars going to feed kids unhealthy frozen and fat pack food?.. The question you should be asking.. why is the system set up to feed junk food to kids.. I tell you why.. because tax funded meals that you and me pay for are provided by INDEPENDENT for profit companies who realized that frozen fat pack food is cheaper and easier to make than healthier alternatives..
The thing you have to remember that this might not affect you.. since you might be a responsible parent who has the time and the money to control what you kid eats.. but you are still paying for a broken system.. you pay it through your tax dollars..
since your are practically paying for it.. wouldn't make sense to invest in making it better? prevent child obesity that in the end will cost you too.. since obese low income almost always end up in medicaid? shit that you pay for with your tax dollars.. so ask your self.. are you gonna pay for a healthier kid... or a fat guy on medicare with a long term disease like diabetes?
Not only Tom Tancredo just called everyone that voted for Obama a whole bunch of illiterate illegal imigrants who can't spell or speak English... He went as far as proposing the restablisment of Jim Crow laws that were abundant around the time before the Civil Rights movement at the height of Racism and ignorance in our country.
I'm gonna say it because Maddow didn't mention this.. The majority of people who voted for Obama Were white.. in Tancredo's head the majority is a bunch of illegals and african americans.. but the truth is that Obama won thanks to white voters.
However, if we were to do a literacy test and a civics test.. the Bast majority of the right wing base would FAIL... The stupid Tea party is too freaking stupid to reallise that a literacy test would wipe half of their Base... but what do you expect.. the same base thinks that the solution to the economy crisis is simplified in 3 steps
tax cut for the wealthy drill baby drill and dress up like teabagger drag queens and run around with misspelled signs
