who wants Silvio forever?

Sta per uscire nelle sale un film che si intitola " Silvio forever " e mi domando se il titolo sia una promessa o una minaccia.
Il suddetto lungometraggio, che sembra essere un vero e proprio documentario sul nostro " leader minimo ", è stato preceduto dal clamore della censura operata ai danni del trailer di presentazione, da parte della nostra inquietante televisione di stato.
Sembra che la Rai si sia avvinghiata al fatto che in alcune immagini apparisse la buonanima della mamma del Sor Silvio e che ciò, in qualche modo, ne offendesse il ricordo.
Vabbè, facciamo che la prendo per buona solo perché altrimenti offendo il ricordo dell'ultimo canone RAI che ho pagato per sbaglio nel 1974.
Comunque il punto è che hanno censurato il filmato sbagliato.
Il vero trailer ce l'ha la Cesira che finalmente, dopo aver convinto il presidente a duettare con lei, pubblica integralmente la testimonianza integrale di questi indimenticabili attimi di gloria.

The Last Hurrah

MWOP the Original here, posting because I started this blog and it is ultimately my responsibility. This blog received a cease and desist today...not from MckMama. Because this site has generated such volatile hatred from some who choose to threaten the lives of employees and their families of organizations associated with MckMama, the entire community and its moderators are now hinging on a lawsuit.

We never, ever intended for such hatred to breed on this site. It was started honestly: "MckMama Without Pity (MWOP) came about as a place to discuss the inconsistencies and bad business/life practices preached in Jennifer McKinney's popular blog, "mckmama.com". Since there is heavy moderation on her site, and on her Blog Frog Community, there was no place to discuss the red flags that her readers have seen. Now there is."

We still believe whole-heartedly in why this site originated.

The blogger in question has lied, directly and through omission, and we believe deceitfully used readers of her site emotionally to gain financially and personally through several incidents over the years. She has, since 2008, blocked and banned those who questioned even politely the differences between what she says and what she does, and left thousands of once admiring and prayerful "members of her community" confused and looking for answers. That's why we're here - to piece together what's real and what she wants people to believe.

However, to allow this site to grow into a place associated with threats, especially death threats, is unacceptable, and in the case of death threats, illegal. Since these people congregate here, we're being told this site is liable.

So we're all being forced to wash our hands. I know this does not release me from any lawsuit that may be presented, but I want to state again that we and many, if not all, participants here never condoned any behavior outside the MWOP walls, and that has been known and repeated since day one.

In the end it comes back to the fact that she will never change. Many came here with questions and doubts and went back, hoping she would, but it didn't happen. Sadly, this site won't be around for new readers who are just figuring out that things don't add up, or that their favorite/model blogger is only a shell of what she pretends to be.

It was so nice getting to meet you. Thank you for the laughs, the information, the fellowship. MWOP was mixed with some bad apples, but mostly we know there's good ladies at the heart of MWOP. After all, we all come from the same roots - women who prayed for the same sick baby boy way back when.

See you around on the Internets; please be sure to renew your Jesus card before leaving this site to cancel out any and all wrongdoings while participating here. And who knows - if a Minnesota blogger can be sued and found guilty for telling the truth about a person, maybe a class action suit can be filed against a Minnesota blogger for misrepresenting herself and her situation(s), and gaining financially from it.

La Sora Cesira e il bandierone tricolor

Come sapete da qualche tempo collaboro con la trasmissione di SKY Uno " Gli Sgommati ".
Qualche giorno fa', pensando alla puntata del 17 Marzo, mi è stato proposto di realizzare una parodia del nostro inno nazionale.
Facendo mumble mumble con il mio cervello, che sempre più spesso mi restituisce echi di vuoti preoccupanti, ho deciso che no, il nostro inno non si può parodiare.
Anche gli autori e i produttori del programma, invece di darmi un calcio nel culo, hanno dimostrato l'intelligenza che già sospettavo e la sensibilità di cui oggi sono certa ( Is this kiapp lekking?…mah...).
Ci sono poche cose in questi tempi cialtroni alle quali bisogna in qualche modo restare ancorati. Il primo di tutti è il senso d'appartenenza.
Io oltre ad essere italiana, ahimè, sono anche della Lazio, quindi se da un lato quando vado all'estero mi sento le solite strofette su pasta, pizza e Berlusconi, dall'altra sono discretamente avvezza a delusioni e sconfitte.
C'è un fatto però; Io sul mio paese posso fare tutta l'ironia che voglio perché è il mio paese.
Sulla mia squadra posso smoccolare ogni santa domenica perché è la mia squadra.
Io ho il sacrosanto diritto di dar giudizi, lodare, imprecare, incazzarmi, sperare e disperare.
Noi tutti conosciamo i limiti, spesso francamente insuperabili, del nostro paese. Lo amiamo e lo detestiamo.
Lo decantiamo, poco, e lo sbeffeggiamo, parecchio.
Però quando suona l'Inno ci alziamo in piedi. Quando sventola il tricolore ci emozioniamo.
Il nostro senso d'appartenenza va al di la' della destra e della sinistra, al di là delle debolezze, al di là dell'immagine di un paese deturpato dalla maleducazione civica e dalla degenerazione politica.
Noi siamo nati qui e, a meno di velleità esterofile, magari ci moriremo pure.
Anche perché sembra che le pratiche per il rimpatrio della salma siano una rottura di bomboni.
Domani festeggiamo 150 anni dell'unità di questa nazione. Festeggiamo una parte della storia del nostro paese.
La storia di un paese bello, pittoresco, imbroglione, arruffone, paraculo, incerto, oscillante, accomodante, becero,qualunquista, opportunista, simpatico e oggi, ahinoi, un po' retrogrado.
La patria di bellezze e monnezze. Di bianchi, neri e grigi topo.
Il paese di Michelangelo e di " Centovetrine ", di Dante e delle scarpe Geox.
Io lo dico sempre che se avessi più coraggio vivrei altrove.
Continuerò a sostenere che in Italia staremo sempre un passo indietro se non alziamo il culone e ci diamo una mossa.
Avrò sempre il timore che le cose non cambieranno mai.
Però lo sapete che c'è?
C'è che nel cielo o nel pozzo, nell'oro ( laccato ) o nella melma, questo è il mio paese.
Quindi non so voi, ma io l'inno di Mameli non lo tocco e il 17, sul balcone, ci schiaffo il bandierone.

Update.

A lot has happened over the past couple days. There has been a lot of disrespectful interaction amongst the readers here. There have been a number of off-topic conversations, too, that have resulted in upset. This site was established to discuss the "inconsistencies and bad business/life practices" found on MckMama's blog. I just wanted to clarify that the off-topic conversations will happen from time to time, but please keep in mind the focus of this site.*

I have implemented comment moderation and hidden the comments from the last post for now. Many lines have been crossed and I just want to say that I am disappointed. I will not condone threats of any kind, veiled or direct. Just because you can hide behind anonymity, does not give anyone license to act with no regard for others. I have requested that people be allowed to share their thoughts and perspectives in a respectful manner without judgment and that has not happened.

If you would like to comment on this, please know that no comments will be approved immediately at this time but I will be able to read what you have to say. I will be periodically reading and posting comments as I can, but will not publish your comment if you ask me not to do so.*

I will leave you with the following list of blog rules and guidelines that were implemented on Day 1 of this site in Feb. 2010:

• We're going to allow Anonymous posters. If it gets to be too much, we'll turn that option off.


• Do not be rude to other posters or call them names.


• Do not be rude about the children or call them names. Commenting on behavior is acceptable, but no name calling.


• Don't tell the moderators how to run the blog.
  No posting addresses.


• The administrators are not able to verify the identity of people who comment here. Believe what you choose to believe.


• We are not a blog about religion, please do not comment or assume that we are all Christians.
  

* Post Edited: I edited this post to clarify why I mentioned the off-topic comments. Recent discussion of another blogger escalated here very recently and upset a number of readers. I also wanted to clarify my plans for comment moderation at this time.

New Post

We need a new post, so I'm just going to list a couple of things that have happened with MckMama over the past couple days.

• MckMama lost her wallet, but it was returned to her completely intact by a total stranger
• She announced the winner of the Kindle and the winner will be donating it to her own church
• She tweeted last night with her feelings about Gerber "Yogurt for Babies"
• She posted a video to her blog that featured her youngest child taking a bath while her other children could be heard in the background

* You will also find a post below for recipe sharing after requests from several readers. It has been added to the sidebar (at the bottom), so that you can continually read and add to it.

For those of you who are new to this blog, I want you to know that this site does not have a Twitter account or a Facebook account. I am aware that there are individuals out there who repeatedly post negative comments that are directed at MckMama and her readers on Twitter or take direct quotes from here and put them on Twitter, Facebook, and MckMama's blog. I am not behind that activity nor do I endorse it. I know that the original MWOP had posted something similar in the past, but I would prefer that we keep our comments and discussion on this site. I just don't believe those comments are going to have the desired impact on MckMama or her readers. It seems that those comments typically end up turning off MckMama's readers who are starting to question her and make it more difficult for them to keep an open mind about the information that is shared here.

This site is comprised of former loyal MckMama supporters, occasional readers, those who still support MckMama, those who are on the fence, and those who do not support MckMama. There are people who comment frequently, people who rarely comment, and people who lurk, but never comment. I would like to ask everyone to treat one another with respect when interacting here.

Recipe Post

There have been some recent requests for a post where people can exclusively list recipes and no other comments. You can leave those great recipes here and you will be able to find this post at the bottom of the right sidebar. You will be able to continually go back there to read and add more recipes that you would like to share with other readers. If the recipe is not your own, I simply ask that you mention the source.

Happy Cooking!

* I'm not much of a cook, but I'm thinking it might help keep things organized if we post by putting a category first and then responding to it with the recipes that fall under that category. I'm going to start with some basic ones now, but please feel free to add!

A Couple Reminders

We need a new post, so I am just posting this filler post for now.

For those of you who are new to this blog, I want you to know that this site does not have a Twitter account or a Facebook account. I am aware that there are individuals out there who repeatedly post negative comments that are directed at MckMama and her readers on Twitter or take direct quotes from here and put them on Twitter, Facebook, and MckMama's blog.

There are people who comment frequently, people who rarely comment, and people who lurk, but never comment. I would like to ask everyone to treat one another with respect when interacting here. We don't always have to agree with each other. In fact, I don't think it's possible for so many people to agree all the time. I encourage everyone to share their perspectives here since censorship on MckMama's blog is one of the reasons why this site came to exist.
