Demo-Dopes losing issues to common sense and thechnology

2012-02-17T08:05:00.003-05:00

A big Demo-Dope campaign issue USE to be gun control. Now there 80 million guns in Americans' hands. As noted here before, that’s a good start. All but the safest of the Demo-Dopes – Nanny Bloomberg - have backed away from openly campaigning as the gun grabbing morons they are.

Instead you have Cambodian war hero John Françoise Kerry walking into a gun store and proclaiming for all hear, “Is this where I get me a huntin’ license?” Then the faux war hero and hunter wasn’t man enough to carry his own “kill” for the cameras. Afraid of offending the PETA crowd, Kerry had some sap tote the dead birds back while he mugged for the camera carrying his Italian made shotgun.

But don’t think that the Demo-Dopes have given up on grabbing your guns. The entire Fast and Furious debacle was staged for that very purpose. And if Border Patrol agent Brian Terry gets killed in the process, well that just a bit of collateral damage for the greater good.

The Demo-Dopes are just as anti-2nd Amendment as they ever were but now they have to go into stealth mode because everyone with a brain knows what they are up to. So instead of openly campaigning as the gun grabbing d-bags that they are, they creat hare-brained schemes in the DOJ to grab your guns.

Demo-Dope use to go around the country campaigning as the party that would support a woman’s right to kill her baby, ok abort the baby in the first trimester. Then something happened, ultrasound technology made it pretty clear that what was being removed from a woman’s uterus wasn’t just a blob of cells.

When referencing a VA law that requires women seeking an abortion to get an ultrasound and listen to the baby’s heart beat, great Demo-Dope philosopher and thinker Joy Blowhard,asks rhetorically:

“It’s like, what are we? What is this, the Taliban now? What are we, in Afghanistan?"

No, Joy it’s not. If it were the Taliban in Afghanistan, you’d have that ugly mug of yours where it belongs under a burlap bag.

Just like with gun control, the Demo-Dopes have lost their advantage in the abortion argument. So what to do? Well simply conflate abortion with birth control. Everyone use birth control, right? One poll says 98% of Catholics use birth control, never mind that 98% aren’t of child bearing years, or having sex, or using contraceptives. The true stat is that 98% of Catholics having sex and not wishing to get pregnant are using birth control.

As near as I can tell, no one, not even the Catholic Church wants to ban contraceptives. Most of us, including the Catholic Church do not want to pay for them for other people. Most of us don’t want to foot the bill for other people who are nothing more than too lazy and too cheap to buy their own. The church has a pretty good moral argument for not wanting to do it. It’s a long and for most I think an uncomfortable read. OK for me an uncomfortable read. (You can look up on Today’s Catholic web site.) Uncomfortable not because it deals with human sexuality but rather because it sort of nails what a hedonistic bunch we’ve become over time, bit by bit without really noticing.

More crap than it is possible to keep up with

2012-02-16T08:14:00.001-05:00

As usual there are a bunch of things to worry about and be POed about with the P-BO and his posse of @$$clowns this morning.

First: The P-BO claims to be dumber than we thought. After claiming for months and months that George Bush’s economy was the worse economy since the great depression, the P-BO is now claiming he was too stupid to fully understand how bad the economy really was.

Now it’s totally believable that the P-BO is too stupid to understand much of anything – like how many states there are in the United States for example – hint Mr. P-BO it’s not 57. But how can even this walking talking sock of crap go on and on for months, hell years, about how bad the economy is and then when his tried and true Demo-Dope proscription for economic ruin produce the predictable result, claim he didn’t know?

Simple, when his lips are moving, he’s lying his @$$ off.

Next: There’s a little gem the P-BO budget farce that calls on us to borrow 800 MILLION from the Chinese to give to the “Arab Spring countries” to build good will and promote democracy. Hint to his Royal @$$holiness and the boot licking morons he’s chosen to surround himself with. Egypt just had the freest fairest elections in 60 years. The result was a takeover by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Now that crowd is blackmailing this administration of clueless halfwits by saying if we don’t pay them off with continued aide, they will junk their treaty with Israel. So the natural reaction to that type of “diplomacy” is to give into it and budget for it by asking for another 800 MILLION to “spread around.”

I’m POed enough about this pant load redistributing money here at home. I’m really, really, POed when he talks about confiscating wealth to redistribute around the Middle East to governments who would prefer to see us on the ash heap of history, which is ironically where the P-BO plans to deposit us.

Next: After throwing Naval tradition to the wind by naming US Navy ships after the likes of Cesar Chaves and John the jack@$$ Murtha, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has taken the steps necessary to name a new LCS after wounded Rep Gabriel Giffords.

What a load of crap. I’m certain Mz. Giffords is nice lady. Let’s put this as plainly as possible. Her main claim to fame is for surviving a gun shot wound to the head. Of that class of people, I’m certain there are Marines alive today who have contributed more to the Naval Service and their country than Mz. Giffords. And if we include those who didn’t survive their wound – Mz. Giffords would be so far down the line of heroes you’d need 10,000 reams of paper single spaced, four columns to a page, in 8pt print before you got to Gabriel.

For the love of Pete, you'd think her husband, Navy Captain Mark Kelly, would step up and say, "Whoa there. Hold on just a minute. Let's not get carried away." Not in this day and age. Embarrassment in these things died off when we got used to giving every kid a trophy no matter how badly they played.

I e-mailed former Navy Sec, Sen James Webb:

Sen. Webb,

Please school your Democratic colleague, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, on the history and tradition for the naming of US Navy warships before he names the next aircraft carrier after himself. I would have thought the naming of US Navy warships was above politics. With this crowd, apparently it is not.

Semper Fi,
Doug Schumick

Last: Is the end near? Recent polls give the P-BO an upper hand against all Republican challengers. I believe the polls about as much as I do government stats on unemployment and economic growth in a campaign year. Remember this is the same bunch that told us that P-BOcare, even though it provided millions with “free healthcare” wouldn’t add to the deficit.

A.B. Stoddard, a regular on the Fox all-stars, predicted that if unemployment and the economy “continue” to improve, voters will forget about $5 gasoline, Fast and Furious, Solyndra etc. etc. That’s breathtaking. Are we really that shallow? We’ll believe cooked stats designed to bolster the worst president in US history and re-elect a buffoon that has taken the country to the brink of ruin. Yes, I believe that we are.

It's a trap

2012-02-15T08:44:00.001-05:00

OK men listen up. When a woman tells you, “Really, let’s not exchange ANYTHING for Valentine’s Day.” A normal man thinks, “Wow that’s really cool. She knows that Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark Holiday with no personal, religious, national or organizational significance. She's so comfortable with our relationship that she doesn’t need to phony it up with $50 worth of crap that will end up in the garbage in two days anyway. Besides that puts me $50 closer to that really cool saw at Lowe's.”

Unbeknownst, to the foolish man, she really means, “Look you cheep bastard, this is just a test. You’d better make an extraordinary effort for Valentine’s Day.” Yeah, I fell for it. I can see the Griffin now shaking his head in disbelief, “You dope! How could you fall for the oldest trick in the woman’s playbook?”

I should have known I was toast when I got up in the morning to cards, candy and heart shaped donuts on the counter for Lex jr. and me. It didn’t faze me. How nice I thought. By noon I was informed that “let's not exchange ANYTHING” didn’t include a card, even though cards were specifically mentioned as a waste of money. So at 9 pm after Scouts, there Lex jr and I were at the 24 hour Kroger making our Valentine’s Day purchases. That’s when Jr. informed me he made a card for his mom in French class. The only thing better than a dozen red roses and a Hallmark card that requires extra postage for your wife on Valentine's Day is a homemade card in French from jr. Trust me I know.

Never again.

Subsidizing the rich

2012-02-14T08:12:00.003-05:00

Of course we should subsidize this to the tune of $10,000

As part of his asinine budget proposal, the P-BO would like to offer a 10,000 dollar tax rebate for anyone dumb enough to buy a Chevy Fire Trap (aka Chevy Volt). Brilliant! We’re dead broke so let’s subsidize stupid people. What’s next, a 5,000 dollar subsidy for the cast of Jackass III? 2,000 dollars for people who spill coffee on themselves then bitch because it’s hot? 1,000 dollar subsidy for each contraption that Wiley E. Coyote purchases from the Acme Co.? Demo-Dopes have a long history of buying off stupid people (aka Demo-Dope voters).

The problem with the Chevy Fire Trap is that it’s a crummy coal burning car that catches fire, can only travel 30 miles on a charge, and costs in excess of $40K. Even with a 10K tax credit the piece of crap car will still cost in excess of $30K. Only an idiot with more money than he knows what to do with would even consider buying a crappy car that is known to spontaneously combust and arguably exacerbates the problem it was designed to contain.

A recent study of electric cars in China finds that the enviro-friendly electric cars may be causing more harm than good. And that’s not even counting the pollution spewed out into the environment when they catch fire or the enviromental nightmare that is coming when all of these dopes start disposing of worn out car batteries. I wonder if Chinaman wannabe Thomas L. My Head is Flat Friedman knows about this?

Why would Chevy Volt owners worry about any of that? Few of them as there are, the whole point of buying a volt was so that they could turn up their noses at their less environmentally conscience neighbors. So even if the piece of crap never leaves the garage, they can brag, “Why yes, I’m environmentally friendly. I own a Volt.” Never mind that they never drive it and showed up to the party in their 12 cylinder Bugatti.

Now the poor saps who invested in this coal burning piece of junk have a 3,500 pound fire bomb plugged into their garage outlet. But “poor sap” isn’t even an accurate description. It turns out that the average Chevy Volt buyer earns about $170,000 a year. The P-BO wants to subsidize these rich saps with your hard earned tax dollars. Isn’t that a tax break for the rich?

Let me break this down to the simplest terms. What kind of man lets his wife and kids travel around town in a fire bomb? Ahh yes, that kind of guy. He takes out a million in life insurance on his wife. After buying her skydiving lessons with instructor Drew Peterson, a bungee jumping package in Mexico, a SCUBA diving excursion in Aruba with some guy named Van Der Sloot, a crotch rocket motor cycle, flying lessons for his home built helicopter and a ticket for a cruise on the Costa Concordia, he says, “Uh honey, why don’t you be environmentally friendly and take the Volt today.”

The only people who are dumber that the dopes who bought this piece of junk are the people who think it’s a good idea to subsidize the piece of junk.

Catholic Bishops begin to get it right

2012-02-12T10:22:00.001-05:00

After the P-BO tried to fool the American people with a non-compromise “compromise” Bishop Dolan, the head of American bishops, issued this statement:

"Today's decision to revise how individuals obtain services that are morally objectionable to religious entities and people of faith is a first step in the right direction. We hope to work with the Administration to guarantee that Americans' consciences and our religious freedom are not harmed by these regulations."

I thought, oh crap, they fell for it. I was outraged that they would surrender this issue as soon as their ox stopped being gored by an intrusive government bent on making taxpayers and everyone who holds an insurance policy support all manner of deviant destruction of life. If the government can require insurance companies to offer life ending “medical procedures” where does the government’s authority stop? Can they then require each of us to house a OWS loser for the summer while they go about destroying the country? Can they require that everyone with more than one car be forced to purchase a Chevy Fire Trap (aka Chevy Volt)?

I thought the bishops were ready to return the status quo ante, a time when they turned a blind eye to the excesses of the Demo-Dope party. Then this statement was released by the Catholic Bishops that pretty much puts them back in line with church doctrine and sends the P-BO and his idiot HHS Sec back to the drawing board.

Here are just few gems from the statement:

First, we objected to the rule forcing private health plans — nationwide, by the stroke of a bureaucrat's pen—to cover sterilization and contraception, including drugs that may cause abortion. All the other mandated "preventive services" prevent disease, and pregnancy is not a disease. Moreover, forcing plans to cover abortifacients violates existing federal conscience laws. Therefore, we called for the rescission of the mandate altogether.

Second, we explained that the mandate would impose a burden of unprecedented reach and severity on the consciences of those who consider such "services" immoral: insurers forced to write policies including this coverage; employers and schools forced to sponsor and subsidize the coverage; and individual employees and students forced to pay premiums for the coverage. We therefore urged HHS, if it insisted on keeping the mandate, to provide a conscience exemption for all of these stakeholders—not just the extremely small subset of "religious employers" that HHS proposed to exempt initially.

But stepping away from the particulars, we note that today's proposal continues to involve needless government intrusion in the internal governance of religious institutions, and to threaten government coercion of religious people and groups to violate their most deeply held convictions. In a nation dedicated to religious liberty as its first and founding principle, we should not be limited to negotiating within these parameters. The only complete solution to this religious liberty problem is for HHS to rescind the mandate of these objectionable services.

We will therefore continue—with no less vigor, no less sense of urgency—our efforts to correct this problem through the other two branches of government. For example, we renew our call on Congress to pass, and the Administration to sign, the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act. And we renew our call to the Catholic faithful, and to all our fellow Americans, to join together in this effort to protect religious liberty and freedom of conscience for all.

Now if the Catholic Bishops would issue a statement that indicates Catholics, like Slowest of all Joes, Joe shovel ready Biden, Cambodian war hero John Françoise Kerry and Grand Fran Nan Peloser, who support the HHS decision should stop taking communion and consider a change of religion, they’d have hit a home run.

Oh, and don’t fall the Lib BS trick of polling info that indicates 60+% of Catholics want free contraceptives. 100% of Catholics want free ice cream. Ask the question this way: Do you support your cash strapped family paying additional insurance fees to pay for some woman’s 5th abortion in two years? Or, Do you support the government forcing Americans to purchase anything? That 60+% would dip to about 20% pretty quick.

If the bishops win the battle for an exemption from P-BOcare based on “conscience”, you’ll be amazed how quickly about 98% of Americans develop a conscience.

Buying votes

2012-02-10T08:17:00.000-05:00

Yesterday the P-BO and certain big banks teamed up to buy votes for the P-BO by bailing out homeowners who are delinquent on their house payments. Now I’m current on my house payment. Soooo, should I consider becoming delinquent so that I can become eligible for the P-BO’s plan to write down the principal on my loan? Why yes I think I should. I won’t, but you can bet thousands of other home owners will.

Also, the 27 billion banks are taking out of one pocket to stuff into another represents less than 1% of the cost of homes in America that are behind in payments or where the home is worth less than what is owed. So this whole charade is like the P-BO showing up in New Orleans after Katrina with a bucket and after pouring a few bucket loads of water over a levy that has a quarter mile gash in it, declaring he has saved the city. Like everything with the King of the @$$clowns, this is all smoke and mirrors.

But this arrangement will not stop the banks from raising ATM, checking, savings, and loan fees to recoup the cost of the money that came from the left pocket and was put into the right pocket. Again the only people who get screwed in these deals are the poor saps playing by the rules.

The only good news in any of this is that the P-BO is trying to buy votes from people he’s already paid off, moochers.

PREDICTIONS:
Waste associated with this program will surpass even the waste associated with most government programs.

Somehow a dozen or so P-BO campaign bundlers will be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars from the fund.

Audits of the program will reveal lots of money legally went to wealthy home owners who easily out witted the dim witted government bureaucrats administering the program.

Any shortcomings of the program will be blamed on George W. Bush.

At some debate ahead of the Nov election the P-BO will declare the mortgage crisis over as a result of his own fearless leadership. The press will run with the story irrespective of the actual truth.

In reality, aside from a staged press opportunity, not ONE USEFUL thing will be accomplished by the program.

Pay for your own damned abortion

2012-02-09T08:20:00.000-05:00

The latest line of attack on the Catholic Church’s stand against the P-BO’s boneheaded move to force the church to pay for and make available all manner of Liberal socially destructive BS, is that 98% of Catholic women use contraceptives. Let’s say that’s true. Who’s paying for them? Certainly the church isn’t.

I’m pretty sure a very large percentage of Catholics cuss from time to time, that doesn’t mean the church should be forced by the government to hold workshops on how to cuss.

And isn’t it, even for the moral relativism crowd, a rather long leap from contraceptives to abortion and sterilization? Do these giants of deep thoughts throw the kid who swipes a candy bar from the corner store in with adults who invade a home, rape and kill its occupants and steal the plasma TV?

The church’s moral argument against contraceptives can be seen in practical terms in the demographics in Europe and it is beginning to show here in the US. The European train, after leaving stations marked, socialism, social and multicultural decline, is pulling into the station marked irreversible loss of identity. The US train is only a few stations back up the track.

It strikes me - that is the whole purpose of everything that the P-BO does. If you think he’s destructive to the American way of life as we knew it now, while he’s trying to thread the needle to a second term, wait until he is unencumbered by the need to run for re-election. Our decline in a second P-BO term will be, to borrow a term from the Justice Dept., fast and furious.

Don’t fall for the avalanche of BS that is sure to flow from this administration of lying turd biscuits and their willing accomplices in the lame steam media. It is the church’s responsibility and, for now anyway, right to proclaim its doctrine as it sees fit. It is the flock’s responsibility to live within the doctrine as best they can. The fact that a large percentage of flock fails, doesn’t give the government the right to declare the doctrine null and void.

Now, let me put the entire religious argument aside. Just when did it become my responsibility to pay for some woman’s abortion or birth control anyway? Pay for your own damned abortion. And while we’re at it, your own sex change operation, sterilization, cosmetic changes, implants, and all manner of other degenerate crap that is being forced on an already broke and struggling middle class.

Prop 8, Newt, Super PAC

2012-02-08T07:49:00.000-05:00

Back in 2008 over 80 million dollars were spent advertising the pros and cons of a gay marriage amendment to California voters in advance of Proposition 8. In November of that year, over 13 million California votes let their opinions on the matter be known. Even though they were outspent by over 7 million dollars Proposition 8 carried the state by over 52%.

Yesterday TWO federal court judges cancelled the will of over 7 million California voters. Now irrespective of what you might think about Prop 8, it passed. It was overturned by TWO judges drove a stake into the heart of the notion that America is a land “of the people, by the people and for the people.”

And don’t lay any of that civil rights BS on me. This has nothing to do with it. Any civil discrimination can be dealt with. This is nothing more than another chip in the bedrock foundation that has made America the envy of the world for over 200 years.

I don’t even know why we have elections. We should let a three judge panel from the 9th Circus Court of Appeals decide everything for us. They seem to think that that is their role.

Primary
Everyone is saying Romney had a bad night last night. If Romney had a bad night Newt had a disastrous night. The self proclaimed conservative alternative to Romney didn’t even show up as the conservative alternative to Ron Paul. Will this drubbing stop Newt from calling for Santorum’s exit from the race? Of course it won’t. Newt’s not running a campaign anymore. He’s running a vendetta. Newt ought to be out this morning hitting his theme of dismantling the 9th Circus. There is just something so wrong about a state defining marriage by law as it has been defined over the last 2,000 years only to have that definition declared unconstitutional. There is traction here for Newt if he can just stop whining about Romney for half an hour.

The P-BO to accept super PAC money

Surprise, surprise, surprise. After blasting the Supreme Court decision that allowed the formation of Super PACs during one his more un-presidential moments – I know, how do you choose – the P-BO threw principle to the wind and jumped on the Super PAC band wagon. After all it’s more important to be elected than be elected for standing for something.

During the last election cycle, the P-BO swore he’d be taking federal matching funds right up to point that it looked like he’d make more money by not taking them, then he reneged. Can you say that any more? So complaining about Super PAC money right up to the point that you take it is par for the hypocrite Demo-Dope sail eared dope’s standard.

The P-BO is no bitter clinger

2012-02-07T07:45:00.000-05:00

Channeling his inner Revs? Al and Jesse at last week’s National Prayer Breakfast the P-BO misinterpreted this scripture passage:

“for unto whom much is given, much shall be required”

The full passage can be found here. Were the P-BO’s interpretation of this passage correct, yeah it’d be a miracle, but it would also mean that we could simply buy our way into heaven. No?

Jesus expects much more of us than a willingness to “spread our wealth around.” I’ll tell you this, anyone who thinks that he is doing his share for mankind because he pays taxes is missing the point. Were that the case, Warren Buffet would pay his taxes and instead of just talking about wanting higher taxes for the rich, he and others who make that ridiculous argument would gladly send them in with little fanfare. And if the P-BO were making an accurate interpretation of the Bible they could buy their way into heaven by paying higher taxes.

First off, and I’ve said before on this page, if your great contribution to man is paying your taxes, you’re likely to have problems at the gate of heaven. If when asked, “What contributions have you made for man?” Your answer is, “Well, I paid my taxes.” You are likely going to have a tough sell. Next, and I believe this to be absolutely true, we’d all be better off giving the money we spend in taxes to help the poor to the Catholic Church. They do a better more compassionate job serving the poor with far less waste than the bloated federal government.

But sadly for Warren and the other raise my taxes please crowd, God never said material wealth and what we did with it would be the measure by which He would judge us. In fact, I’d guess that criterion is pretty far down his list. A poor man, contributing nothing to the offering plate or tax collector but living a Godly life is surely doing more than a rich man who tithes but otherwise does little to live his life inside God’s teachings. We call the first group saints. We call the latter group hypocrites. Since the word hypocrite is synonymous with Demo-Dopes, we know why the P-BO botched this passage.

And couldn’t we make the case that America is like the servants in the parable? Certainly we have been given much. Certainly we have done much. We were able to contribute because our economy has been powered freedom. Our people are the freest most giving in the history of the world. We now stand on the edge of losing our freedom and the economy will follow whatever path we choose. What we as a nation are able to contribute will be affected by the choices we make as a people.

If we believe as the founder did that this land of ours was founded by divine providence, I’d argue that parents who are teaching their children what American exceptionalism truly means and thereby persevering her greatness are doing great things not measured in dollars.

Last and not surprisingly, the P-BO just flat out missed the primary focus of Jesus’ parable. The primary purpose of the parable is to teach us to be always prepared for the Master’s return, for we do not know the time of His calling. The “much is given” in this passage, I think, refers to eternal life. The “much is expected” refers to living a good life. Only a shallow dope would cherry pick the last line as means to argue for higher taxes. He should have asked a bitter clinger for advice on this passage.

Church complicit in policy it opposes

2012-02-06T07:40:00.000-05:00

The Catholic Church is in an uproar over the P-BO’s Health and Human Services’ insurance mandate forcing Catholic affiliated institutions to provide and pay for abortions, contraceptives and sterilizations on demand. In Ft. Wayne, Bishop Kevin Rhoades not only said no, he said hell no. Well sort of, Bishop Rhoades issued a scathing statement of the mandate that included this gem:

We cannot and we will not comply with this unjust federal order. We cannot and we will not accept this egregious affront to our religious liberty.

All right some good old fashion civil disobedience for a cause other than SEIU demanding that its members get paid three and half times what the average worker in the state is earning. No doubt the Catholic Church will find out what a mean vindictive bunch the Demo-Dopes are when someone, anyone, crosses them. Look for a bill from the senate before the week is out attempting to pull the church’s tax exempt status.

I’m all for our bishop’s stance. But like the illegal immigration issue, it’s 40 years too late. We’ve been allowing people to come and go across our southern border willy nilly for 40 years. Now we want to stop it, and guess what? It’s too late, or at least takes a great deal more effort to get it done. If you’ve let your kids sit at the dinner table with their elbows propped up, chewing with mouths open and burping and flagellating at will for 40 years, you can’t say, OK we’re going to have manners at the dinner table tonight and expect success.

The same is true for this new mandate.

The Catholic Church has stood mute while Demo-Dope Catholic politicians have backed abortion on demand and in many cases using tax dollars to pay for it. They did it with the Kennedy’s. They continue to do it with Slowest of all Joes, Joe shovel ready Biden, Cambodian war hero John Françoise Kerry, and box-o-rocks Grand Fran Nan Peloser.

Now, after 40 years of ignoring Catholic politicians who support abortion, in direct contradiction to their religious teaching, the bishops are pissed that these politicians are supporting the issue in direct contradiction to religious teachings.

In the last election there was a pro life candidate and a pro abortion candidate. 54% of Catholics supported the pro abortion candidate. I remember sitting in the pew before the last presidential election while a priest danced around endorsing a candidate. His approach was that the really important thing was to get out and vote, not get out and vote pro life. Well excuse me, but I’d rather pro abortionists not vote at all. Now three years later the church is pissed that Demo-Dopes do what Demo-Dopes do.

Sorry bishops, you’re 40 years too late. Had the church stepped up early on and denied communion to these half Catholics they’d have firmer ground to stand on. As it is, I’ll bet not one bishop has the guts to name the three half Catholics mentioned here and demand they stop taking communion.

OK, that’s it. All ya all at Andy on Call get back to work. You’d best believe he’s watching.

Newt is all for Newt

2012-01-29T08:14:00.000-05:00

Were Newt to concentrate his efforts on the P-BO, he’d be a more appealing candidate. As it is, he appears to me to be a man with a grudge more interested in getting even with the guy who brought up his house ethics investigation (after Newt brought up that guy’s tax returns) than being president.

Then after the guy puts out his tax returns, in true Demo-Dope penis envy fashion, Newt begins to slam the guy for being successful. That sounds more like an OWS rally than a Republican campaign strategy. But that’s Newt.

He looks angry. He acts like a man out for revenge and his main target is the Republican front runner. The only time Newt gains any traction in this race is when he slams the media and or the P-BO. Fair or not, he looses ground every time he starts training his fire on Republicans.

So what does he do? He fires on republicans just as he begins to gain ground, and worst of all he looks mean doing it. This is a sign of being undisciplined. Compare Newt delivering an attack on Romney with a scowl on his face and words like, liar, dishonest etc. etc. and Romney delivering an attack on Newt with a smile saying things like, “I’d expect that from the Democrats.”

Trying to defend the idiotic idea of putting a colony on the moon in this day and age isn’t grandiose, it’s insane. First things first Newt. Why don’t you spend your first term and our tax dollars stabilizing our Titanic like nation by fixing the gash in the hull and pumping out the water. Use your second term to talk about having all 1,300 of the passengers up on water skies behind her as she pulls victoriously into NY Harbor with a full head of steam.

In true Newt fashion, he’s planning on staying in the primary all the way to the convention. After all, it is all about Newt. He may rally once a gain. Who knows? If he does, it’ll because he went after the P-BO in a disciplined fashion.

But the reference to discipline and the pronoun referring Newt are way too close together in that last sentence in my opinion. He’ll surge by bashing the press and the P-BO. Then he’ll talk about an expedition to the sun. When Romney tells him the sun is too hot, Newt will call Romney a liar and remind him that Newt’s plan calls for the expedition to travel only at night.

Dividends

2012-01-27T08:26:00.001-05:00

After the first Gulf War, we were informed that the world was a much and safer place. The Soviet Union had been dismantled, Sadam had been pushed out of Kuwait in the historic 100 hour war and peace was breaking out all over. As a result, we were told we could reduce our forces and thereby save billions of dollars. It was called a “peace dividend.”

Today, we are engaged in a world-wide war with Islamo-Terror-Fascists. The Chinese are undergoing a military expansion particularly with regard to their naval capabilities. Russia is now resurgent. They mean us no good in diplomatic relations across the globe - in spite of the P-BO’s effort to hit the “reset button,” (which was inexplicably translated to the Russian word for “overcharge” on the actual button Sec State Clinton presented to the Russians). Iran is months away from developing nuclear weapons. The Middle East is as unstable as it has been in my lifetime. Europe teeters on economic ruin.

In the face of all that, the P-BO will cut eight brigades from America’s Army. What is this reduction in force going to be called? It cannot be called a “peace dividend.” There is little peace anywhere in the world today. I think we can safely call this one “The P-BO doesn’t give a $h!t dividend.”

Last on Joe Pa
Penn State held a memorial service for Joe Pa yesterday. One of the speakers was Nike co-owner Phil Knight. Knight got a standing-O after delivering these lines:

"He gave full disclosure to his superiors, information that went up the chain to the head of the campus police and the president of the school. The matter was in the hands of a world-class university and a president with an outstanding national reputation.

"Whatever the details of the investigation, this much is clear to me: If there is a villain in this tragedy, it lies in that investigation, not in Joe Paterno's response."

The crowd’s response reminded me a bit of a bunch of kids who still want to believe in Santa Clause. They kind of know he’s not real but they want so much to believe. They try harder than ever to convince themselves that he’s real. Parents indulge the kids hoping they can hold on to their fantasy for as long as possible. Then another year goes by and nobody even tries to pretend.

Joe Pa and Jerry Sandusky are linked forever. Penn Staters can pretend it isn’t so for now.

Lies and damn lies

2012-01-25T08:15:00.000-05:00

The P-BO played the role of national mama soothing a nation of cowards whimpering in the corner, “It’s not fair.” Were he playing the role of dad he’d had told us, “Look life’s not fair. Now get up. Get out there and kick some butt.” Instead he comforted us by telling us it’s not our fault that we’re unemployed, under employed or make less than our neighbor. It’s the fault of rich Republicans. Why we’d all be living like Warren Buffet or at least Mitt Romney if things were just fair.

Here’s the take away line:

[W]e can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.

In a single line everyone from failed business man who worked 90 hours a week get his fledging business off the ground to the lazy no count whose biggest effort of the day is noon time stroll the mailbox to see if his thrice weekly government check has arrived, are relieved of any responsibility for their own situation. It’s not fair and there is no hope in America. That’s why things haven’t worked out for everyone who things haven’t worked for.

This is America. Who isn’t getting a fair shot? How long have they not been getting a fair shot? This is the land of the fair shot and by worldly standards always has been. By fair shot the divider-in-chief means achieving an equal outcome. Equal outcomes are achieved by “spreading the wealth around.”

Who is not doing their share? The rich? The top 25% are currently footing 86% of the income tax burden in this country. How is that “fair?” 46% PAY NO INCOME TAX AT ALL. How is that “fair?” “Fair” is code for socialized redistribution of assets.

Who isn’t playing the rules? We are the most taxed, most over regulated people in the history of the planet. When you set those conditions, you tilt the playing field toward entities that can afford to deal with an unwieldy tax and regulatory bureaucracy, i.e. big business. You freeze out the little guy who can ill afford a team tax lawyers or an environmental impact study that’s required to break ground on a new facility. The P-BO and the Libs set the conditions through tax and regulatory policies whereby only a few companies can afford to compete, then he complains that it’s not fair. When someone recommends leveling the playing field by easing regulations, the P-BO rejects that and favors more regulations to punish those still able to compete. The process ends when a particular industry moves completely overseas.

By contrast, Mitch Daniels told us more about the state of union in 13 minutes than the P-BO did in his hours long line of BS.

The worst TV night of the year

2012-01-24T08:02:00.001-05:00

The campaigner-in-chief kicks off his bid to continue to run the country into the ground and ruin another night of TV in America tonight with the State of the Union. No wait, his campaign offically kicked off several months ago, tonight is just a continuation of a campaign that actually began as soon as he lifted his hand from the Bible after being sworn in.

First off, the State of the Union speech is a total waste of everyone’s time. Putting it on TV is a waste valuable TV time. There was a time when the president didn’t even show up in the Capital Building and deliver the SOTU in the form of speech. It was delivered as a letter to congress.

Check every SOTU speech since Ronald Reagan. Based on objective speech criteria, every one of them has been too long, too polarizing and too disjointed to get much better than a D- in any speech class. Of course and as always in modern education, the P-BO will get a full pass for being half black and receive his usual A++++++ from Libs.

Predictions:
Don’t get “Let me be clear…” or any phrase with the word "fair" in it in the drinking game.

All media will fawn over the P-BO for the performance tonight. They will talk about how great he looked, what a nice tie had on, how in command he was blah, blah, blah. It’s all BS. He’s going to stand up and read a speech from a teleprompter. 10’s of 1,000 of local weathermen do the exact same thing every night with a whole lot more flare.

Unless the good Joe Wilson calls him what he is, a liar, the content of the show tonight will be exactly what you’d expect from a socialist. It’ll be program after program designed to separate working people from their money and “spread it around” to public sector union thugs, welfare and more green energy flops.

On a different note
Lee C. Bollinger is President of Columbia University. He wrote an OpEd for the Washington ComPost. In addition to his duties at Columbia, Bollinger is also Director of the Washington Post Co. In his OpEd, which was republished in the Ft. Wayne local fish wrap, Bollinger whines about the courts undoing the social engineering universities like Columbia are engaged in with their racial preference programs. These programs allow Libs like Bollinger to snatch less qualified kids from the back of the line and move them ahead of more qualified kids. They do this not based on the content of their character or even a more objective standard, their grades, but rather on the color of their skin. Talk about turning Martin Luther King on his head.

Naturally Lex took exception:

White male Lee C. Bollinger is a supporter of socially engineered diversity, probably because it has never affected him or his children.

Were Bollinger truly interested in diversity, he’d resign as President of Columbia University because he’s male and quit as Director of the Washington Post Co. because he’s white. He’d insist an under served minority candidate be hired in those positions, perhaps even the rarest of all species in a faculty lounge or news room, a conservative.

Even with causes as noble as diversity, a line must be drawn somewhere. I suppose Bollinger draws his line on support for diversity right where it might actually affect him. If not there, then certainly before an equal number of conservative students and faculty are required on Columbia ’s campus or on the Post’s staff.

The reason some minorities cannot get into universities on their own merit is due to the utter failure of many inner city schools. Yet when someone comes along with voucher money to get kids out of the mess created by Liberal policies like those Bollinger champions, there are the Liberals standing in the school house door blocking a better education for minority kids.

When someone proposes firing incompetent union teachers in the public system, there’s Bollinger and his teachers’ union buddies to ensure inept tenured teachers remain in place for life. After all, punishing at risk children is a small price to pay to maintain a Liberal monopoly on public education.

Bollinger and his pals do little to enable these children to enter college based on their own merit. Instead Bollinger’s answer to the problems Liberal education policies have created is to pluck kids from the back of the line, where those policies have placed them, and simply move them ahead of more qualified applicants.

Newt and Joe Pa

2012-01-23T08:14:00.000-05:00

Newt takes SC
Well the good news is that ABC “news” is looking pretty stupid, limp and ineffectual after that. They unloaded their best shot at Newt and the only affect it had was to help him.

Other good news is that it will push Romney farther right and toughen him up if he wins the nomination.

Joe Pa probably died of a broken heart R.I.P.
What have we learn from the sad past few months.

First, never erect a statue of someone who is still alive. Wait at least 5 years after their death to pay such tribute. Penn State put up a statue of their long-time coach outside Beaver Stadium in Nov of 2001. Not only was Paterno still alive, he was still coach. Who else on campus has a statue of themselves? The university president? Honored alum? War heroes? So who is the main man on campus with that tribute? The only other statues I know of on campus are the statues of the university’s mascot the Nittany Lions. NOTE: There is no species know as the Nittany Lion. Rather Nittany Lions are cougars who inhabit nearby Mt. Nittany. Yeah, now you know.

Next, unless you’re raking leaves in the fall while the trees are still half full, doing the minimum is seldom enough. You cannot do the minimum when boys are being raped in your shower and then hide behind the law. You have to take the extra step and at least kick the perpetrator out of your facility pending an investigation.

Next, ignorance is no defense. Joe Pa cannot claim that he was unaware of what was going on in his program. If he didn’t know, he should be fired for that. Joe Pa was the most visable most powerful man on campus and the only one with a staue of himself. He had to have known.

Next, people who have statues of themselves on campus can’t then claim they were powerless to act to stop and/or expose a heinous crime. Even in death he remains the face of Penn State University. If he didn't have the power, who did?

Last, sadly whatever else Joe Pa is going to be remembered for, the first thing will be for not removing a child predator from his program. He will become the Billy Boy put some ice on it Clinton of college football coaches - a great talent whose name will be synonymous scandal. Just as Billy Boy is linked forever with Monica, Joe Pa will be forever linked with Jerry Sandusky.

There he goes again

2012-01-20T08:12:00.001-05:00

What was John King thinking? He wasn’t. King opened the debate last night with a question to Newt about Newt’s ex-wife. Did King think he was going to catch Newt off guard with that one? Newt: Wow! like holy cow man, where did that one come from? Boy, I sure wish I’d prepared for that line of questioning.

The outcome was as predictable as Wiley E. Coyote strapping on a pair of Acme rock assisted roller skates in an effort to catch the road runner. King smashed full speed into a Newt boulder. Then when King acted like a coward by trying to place blame onto ABC, an Acme anvil fell on his head when Newt laid waste to him again for not manning up and taking responsibility for asking the question.

It was a thing of beauty, nearly on a par with Newt’s leveling of Juan Williams earlier. But this latest episode begs the question, why are Republicans exposing themselves to this kind of abuse week in and week out. Can you imagine any Demo-Dope signing up for 19 debates, let alone 19 debates where 17 of them are moderated by Rush Limbaugh? That is essentially what the Republican field signed up for. It’s crazy.

And speaking of what were you thinking, how did Marianne Gingrich think that this was going to work out well for her? Even if she’s telling the 100% accurate and full truth, 50% of the people will think she’s lying to get even; the other 50% are going to yawn and say it’s old news. If she’s trying to destroy Newt she should have come up with something new like him wearing women’s underwear around the house, snacking on dog biscuits or gardening in the nude. That’s a horrible mental image that will need to be erased before lunch, if there is to be a lunch. Which makes the point.

When I look at that stage, I see only one guy that looks like a president, with the temperament of a president for these troubled times and the experience to be a president to get this ship turned around before it hits the rocks – Mitt.

Not affraid to support the successful good looking candidate

2012-01-19T07:58:00.000-05:00

Well pretty much on cue the Newtster began his melt down. Forgetting that it was his critique of Demo-Dopes that got him all his hype after the last debate, Newt decided he’d had enough of Republicans as well. Newt called on Rick Santorum, yeah the guy who has beaten him in the first two Republican contests, to step down in order to make more room for Newt. Rick’s reaction was predictable, YGBSM!

Then Newt took aim at Romney calling him dirty! That’s the exact opposite of how Slowest of all Joes, Joe shovel ready Biden characterized candidate B-HO in 2008. As you recall, his slowness referred to B-HO as the first clean and articulate African American candidate. Well when you’re 180 out with that mental midget, you’re probably on to something. But Newt wasn’t referring to the P-BO. If he were he’d probably be spot on. He was referring to Romney.

So yeah, I’m officially off the Newt train again. Among other things, I don’t think he has the temperament to be president. The last thing we need is someone who becomes unhinged when a political rival gets in a dig.

Santorum went after Newt as well saying that he, Santorum, never shared a couch with anyone but his wife and he doesn’t need to prove he’s the smartest guy in the room by coming up with a new hare brained idea every 20 seconds. Santorum said that the guy he’s beaten like a drum in the first two contests is arrogant and suffering from a fit of hubris for suggesting he and Rick Perry leave the race so everyone can coalesce around Newt. That’s like CNN telling FOX and MSNBC that they should get out of the way so cable news viewers can watch them. Idiot.

Then all of the candidates are piling on Romney for paying his taxes at the required rate and earning money. You’d think this tactic would be left to the Demo-Dopes. Santorum was bragging that he was pretty sure he paid more than 15% in taxes. Good for you Rick. Why don’t make the point by sending it all in?

Santorum also ridiculed Romney for saying 300K in speaking fees wasn’t that much money. Romney made 300K for 8 speeches. That’s about $37,500 per speech. Wow that’s a ton of money.

Not really. Billy boy put some ice on it Clinton takes in between 150-450,000 dollars PER SPEECH. The king of the talker is Donald Trump. He gets a whopping 1.5 MILLION per speech. So in the realm of public speaking fees, $35k isn’t even in the lower middlan range. Besides what business is it of Santorum's how much money people are willing to pay Romney to hear him talk? Rick, if you could get it, would you take it?

Who do want for president Rick? Would have us scour the back alleys for some unaccomplished bum? Myself, I prefer the successful types as president. We are currently experiencing what happens when you trust a know nothing, do nothing, be nothing (g)assbags with the reins of power. Think of your high school class president. Did you vote for the fat guy picking his nose in study hall or the smart kid who captained the basketball team?

I’m happy my guy is successful. I’m happy he’s been married to the same woman his entire life instead of having to number them like Lex’s conspiracy theories. I’m happy he’s run a business like a business, concentrating on people, product and profit instead of thinking the business exists solely as a means to provide the maximum people possible health insurance (think auto industry here). I’m happy he and his family are successful attractive people. I’m happy that he remains a confident happy warrior. I’m happy as he has moved around in his life, good things have followed in his wake.

By contrast look at Newt - a short, fat, angry man. OK, I'll give him smart as well, but everywhere he’s been whether in his personal life or political life, a trail of wreckage is left behind. That’s what he’s trying to do with this campaign.

A hero and a fly boy

2012-01-18T08:13:00.002-05:00

While Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James Amos continues his quest to punish 4 urinating Marines, real Marines fight real battles. One of those Marines was honored yesterday. Lance Corporal Donald Hogan was awarded the Navy Cross by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus for his valor in Afghanistan in 2009.

Hogan was killed by a roadside bomb. When he discovered the bomb, instead of taking the easy and safe way out and ducking for cover, Hogan exposed himself to the force of the blast to warn his fellow Marines of the danger, thereby saving untold lives.

Meanwhile back in the Pentagon, a division’s worth of military “experts” labored under the constant pressure of jammed copy machines, an aide who can’t quite get the coffee to water ratio precisely the way the Gen likes it, too few croissants, an arduous 50 meter stroll to the nearest pop machine and dealing with weighty issues like where and when Marines should be allowed to urinate while in combat. Oh the humanity!

I didn’t hear Amos, SecDef, or SecState on the evening news extolling the valor of LCpl Hogan. Amos didn’t even appoint a 3 star Gen to head up a task force to investigate Hogan’s death or the type of bomb that killed him. While roadside bombs continue to be a problem in Afghanistan, Amos put his crack Marine Corps R&D boys on the real problem there – urinating Marines.

The R&D guys have developed the Personal Infantry Sanitary System or PISS for short. While a bit cumbersome, Amos explained that Marines can compensate for their new PISS gear by lightening their loads of other personal gear like soap, clean socks and skivvies.

When asked what would happen to the PISS when full, Amos explained that the Marines would be expected to carry three days worth of PISS with them while on patrol. Then the PISS would be collected and disposed of in an appropriate location, presumably somewhere in Michigan. Asked if the additional requirements might be a bit cumbersome for the already overloaded troops, Amos replied, “Look, once when the bus broke down and the squadron's golf cart was on a beer run, I had to carry my own flight helmet all the way down the flight line, and that’s with a cup of coffee in the other hand by the way. I also wore a pee bag on my leg during those occasional three Coke-a-Cola missions. Suck it up Marines. Every Marine is expected to hold their own PISS. PISS is the future of our Corps. We have plenty of PISS, particularly here in the Pentagon, and we will not tolerate urinating in the field.”

But in the really important news from the Corps, we are certain that the circle is tightening around the 4 urinating Marines, now known as the pre-PISS four.

This is just silly isn’t it? It would be except for the fact that the full force of the Defense Dep, State Dep and Marine Corps is about to land on four Marines heads. That’s what’s really silly.

What isn’t silly at all is LCpl Hogan’s extraordinary bravery in the face of certain death. As SecNav appropriately put it:
“Lance Cpl. Hogan made a choice that is unimaginable for most of us. But it was a choice of a Marine.”

Semper Fi Devil Dog, R.I.P.

Juan Williams wakes up wondering what train hit him last night

2012-01-17T08:14:00.000-05:00

Wow. I watched about 95% of the debate last night. First, it is crystal clear that any of the five remaining Republican candidates, that INCLUDES Ron Paul, would be a vast improvement over the jughead currently occupying the WH. Yeah, “occupying” the WH. He has the exact same mentality as the unwashed vermin that make up 99% of the “occupy” movement. I expect to see a picture of him crapping on the Resolute Desk any day now.

Next, after last night’s performance, had Newt Gingrich taken Lex’s advice and foregone the Bain attacks on Romney, focusing his energy, wit and intelligence instead on the P-BO, he’d be poised for an upset win in SC. He took Juan Williams to woodshed and beat him like a rented mule on question about Newt’s comment that black teens should be employed as janitors in our schools. Saying he destroyed Juan’s whole premise is putting it too mildly. Newt was the reef and Juan was the Italian Costa Concordia cruise ship. Or to put another topical point on it, Newt was the four Marines and Juan was the three dead Tallies. Newt, crushed him, fired him up, rolled him flat and spun .20 gauge wire out of him. When it was all over, Newt got a standing O and Juan was looking to call it a night. It was a thing of beauty. If Newt rallies and becomes the nominee, political junkies will point to these 4 minutes as the turning point. Of course, he’ll do or say something stupid today that will cancel the whole thing out.

Ron Paul made a brilliant point about the difference between defense spending and military spending. His point was that if we stopped wasteful military spending – an embassy in Iraq that is bigger than Vatican City – we could actually increase our defense spending. That’s a pretty savvy point. Of course he falls apart when his isolationism is taken to nth degree.

Had Rick Perry started the debates with performances like last night, he’d be in the hunt. Too bad, it’s too late, and he too took the Bain Capital bait.

Romney was steady as ever. His support of the idea that the military can snatch American citizens up and hold them indefinitely without trial is problem. His defense of the idea was that Americans have to be careful who they entrust with these powers. Yeah, sure Mitt, if we could only find a benevolent dictator we could have the utopia we’ve been searching for. Wrong. The constitution is brilliant because it limits government’s power. Giving over power to the government to hold people indefinitely without charge is outrageous and anti-American. Yes it passed the house. Thank you John Boehner.

Were I voting today, I’d probably pull the lever for Newt. He was that good last night. In a couple of days, I’ll be wondering, after the Bain attacks, does he have the temperament for the job.

Just hold it until the next gas station, I guess

2012-01-16T08:16:00.000-05:00

This really pisses me off. Some Allah loving Islamo-Terror-Fascist guns down over 40 people, killing 13, at Ft. Hood and the P-BO administration labels that terrorist act ”workplace violence.” But before that lunacy, the Army Chief of Staff’s major concern isn’t for the dead or their suffering families. No. Any call to examine the Army’s “diversity program” that allowed an avowed terrorist to remain in the ranks and get promoted while spewing anti-American hatred would be much worse, according to Gen George I love diversity more than my own soldiers Casey.

Now we have four Marines urinating on three already dead Taliban fighters, and the Commandant of the Marine Corps has appointed a three star general to investigate the incident. Dare I say, and I alluded to it when Gen Amos was appointed Commandant, this is what you get when you place a Naval Aviator in charge of America’s premier ground combat troops. Gen Amos’s idea of up close and personal is dropping ordinance from a couple of thousand feet while going a couple hundred miles an hour, before beating it home to a hot shower, cool tent with a cot and three squares.

Like Abu Graihb, this is a big deal only because we make it a big deal. Amos should have issued a statement along the lines of:

I don’t like my Marines pissing on dead people. Weren’t there some live prisoners around that that urine would have had a more positive affect on? I like Marines who video the act and put it on Facebook a whole hell of lot less than the guys doing the pissing. So, if you’re going to piss on dead Tallies, for crying out loud, don’t video it. I expect the Gunny in charge of these four to have them dig a slit trench from their current position to the top of the Arctic Circle and Courts Martial the idiot who videoed the act. This case is closed.

It would also be cool if there was a sort of Spartacus defense. When the Gunny comes out in the morning and says he wants to see the four Marines who pissed on the dead Tallies, the whole company lines up outside the Gunny's fighting hole.

Instead everyone, SecDef, SecState, Commandant are wringing their hands over something that has been going on since Cain slew Able. The only way out of it now for anyone involved in this incident is to claim that they are transgendered homosexuals (think about it), who drink too much because they worried about global warming and are suffering from PTSD. The reaction would be, Oh poor lads! Here’s your 500% disability waiver. Amos would be against them, before he “embraced” them – figuratively of course…I think.

Good news, bad news, covering up the news

2012-01-13T08:13:00.005-05:00

There’s good news in America.
No Newt hasn’t switched parties and mounted a primary challenge to the P-BO. The good news is that private owner gun sales in the US spiked over the Christmas holiday. It seems that the favorite line from A Christmas Story has gone from, “you’ll put your eye with that” to “Red Rider BB gun? Naa. Kid what you really want is a Savage Axis model .22.” So Santa was literally loaded for bear as he made his rounds on 24 Dec.

Depending on whom you ask, there are between 198 and 260 million privately owned firearms in the United States. That is by far the most privately owned fire arms of any nation. If you add in military and police firearms, we could easily put a firearm in the hands of every man, woman and child in America. That’s a good start. By contrast there are only about 137 million registered passenger vehicles in the US.

Yet, while we hide our guns for fear of our kids getting a hold of them, we put our kids behind the wheel of our auto and begin schooling them on the dangers of cars and driving from the time they are able to walk. No. I wouldn’t expect that we’d leave a loaded gun on the kitchen table, but I would expect that we’d teach our kids how to act if we or one their friend’s parents did. Instead of teaching kids our American history with firearms, we are instructed to hide them away. We’ll teach drivers-ed in high school, but if some kid so much as makes a finger gun during recess, he’s immediately expelled and sent to counseling.

In the movie Conrack, when a boy drowns in a river while fishing, the teacher, Pat Conroy, discovers that none of his students can swim. Most are petrified of the water. He marches them down to the river and proceeds to throw them into the knee deep water one by one and teaches them swim. American Libs are petrified of firearms and they want our kids to be as afraid as they are. They insist on them being locked away and even drawing a picture of one in school violates the insane zero tolerance policy.

I say get them out and put them on the desks. Let the kids look at them and handle them. Take them to the range and let them shoot the guns so as to demonstrate the absolute irreversibility of a decision to pull the trigger.

To that end, I’ve allowed the Bishop Dwenger air rifle team to use my barn for winter shooting on the condition that the Boy Scouts could use the range as well. To date, we have had 15 boys earn their Rifle Shooting Merit Badges. For many it was their first shooting experience.

Urinating Marines
Everything that needs to be said about this has probably already been said. This is a break down of adult leadership that Hamid Karzi will use for his own political benefit. The only reason he’ll be able to do that or that this is a big deal at all is because our BS media and sissified Pols will make it a big deal. There will be 10,000 times more coverage of this incident, that occurred in the heat of battle, than the OWS f&^k taking a casual crap on a police car. I’ll tell you this; those 4 young Marines are 10,000 times the men as the entire OWS loser crowd. The media and the lib lemming Pols will coddle the looser and ruin the heroes.

And remember this Marines, Gen Amos will have your backs right up to the point that it becomes a liability for himself.

Moochell the angry black woman

Why, I'd be angry too, if they took a photo of me like this.

Never has a First Lady received such fawning press. She regularly dresses like a circus clown, yet we’re told what a smart fashion sense she has. She has a back side so wide that it won’t fit through an elevator door so the press tells how wonderful her arms are and tries mightily to photograph her only from the waist up. When they can't, it's a disaster. And in spite of her own ample backside, no one questions her hypocrisy about lecturing us on obesity. She flies herself to and fro on the taxpayer dime, hopping on AF jets as if she were hailing a cab, yet the MSM tells us how in touch she is with struggling families.

Now she’s complaining of an unfair press portraying her as an angry black woman. Hey honey, all they have done since day one is to try to hide your true nature. But the fact is that you are so angry, even they cannot hide it with their endless puff pieces. It’s like trying to hide the arm of the sofa that the dog chewed off with a doily. It can’t be done. People are going to notice. Face it, you ARE an angry black woman. Who else would say something as stupid as, “For the first time in life, I’m proud of my country” but for an angry, angry woman?

Newt's big opening, he won't take it.

2012-01-12T08:40:00.000-05:00

Crafty campaign consultant David Axelrod said that former P-BO religious mentor and father figure Rev? Jerry G-D America Wright’s sermons were taken out of context by the P-BO’s political enemies. Yeah, enemies. That would include any non-Communist or thinking human being. So, Dave how do you put G-D America into an acceptable context?

Yes, and thanks Dave. I wondered how a Republican candidate might bring up the P-BO’s buddy Jerry without appearing to be fishing for a red meat issue long ago disposed of. You have solved that problem.

Were I Newt, I’d get out of the race, endorse Santorum, go on a diet and enjoy my millions traveling. But, if were going to stay in the race, I’d dump those 10s of millions of dollars I got from the casino guy right on the P-BOs and Axelgreases head about this issue.

A perfect man on the street ad:

Sir could you try using the phrase “G—Damn America” in a sentence that doesn’t…well…damn America? The man’s reply, “Get outta here befores I punch yous right in yous ugly mug.” How about you Madam? “Oooooh, I don’t think so. That’s so crude and un-American.” And on and on. You could contrast it by throwing up comments from Fidel, Hugo, Amadinajad, and OWS types that take the bait. All the while repeating Axelgreases comment in a sort of hip hop remix.

G—Damn America

Well you get it. Hey, I may have stumbled upon my real calling. DJ remix master Lex.

But, thankfully I’m not newt. Newt is Newt, and Newt is out for blood. Not Demo-Dope blood, Romney blood. Newt is like that clever song from the 70s by the rock band Sweet, Little Willie. The catch line of that song:

'Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

Newt won’t go home. But you can’t push Newt around because given his girth that would be “stunningly” hard to do. Check out the lyrics here and see if it wouldn’t make a perfect parody for Newt.

Yes of course you have Lex to thank as you try to get the Little Willy melody out of your head for the rest of the day. My work here is done.

No statesmen left on either side

2012-01-11T08:37:00.001-05:00

When elected unanimously by congress to be the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, George Washington addressed the congress with these few words.

"Mr. President, Tho' I am truly sensible of the high Honour done me, in this Appointment, yet I feel great distress, from a consciousness that my abilities and military experience may not be equal to the extensive and important Trust: However, as the Congress desire it, I will enter upon the momentous duty, and exert every power I possess in their service, and for support of the glorious cause. I beg they will accept my most cordial thanks for this distinguished testimony of their approbation.

"But, lest some unlucky event should happen, unfavourable to my reputation, I beg it may be remembered, by every Gentleman in the room, that I, this day, declare with the utmost sincerity, I do not think myself equal to the Command I am honored with.

"As to pay, Sir, I beg leave to assure the Congress, that, as no pecuniary consideration could have tempted me to have accepted this arduous employment, at the expence of my domestic ease and happiness, I do not wish to make any proffit from it. I will keep an exact Account of my expences. Those, I doubt not, they will discharge, and that is all I desire."

I was reminded of this event and Lincoln’s 270 word Gettysburg Address while listening to Ron Paul and others drone on and on and on after finishing second, third, fourth and fifth in the NH primary. I wondered, how long it would take them to get to the point if something really important had happened to them?

And humility must be a thing of the far distant past. Can you imagine any of today’s pols saying, “my abilities and experience may not be equal to the extensive and important Trust”? Or, “I do not think myself equal to the Command I am honored with”? It’s never going to happen.

Quite the opposite. The more they foul things up the more today's pols assure us the country cannot survive without them. Take the P-BO…please. Here’s a guy with not one qualification to run anything more complicated than a midnight basketball program telling us that America cannot survive unless we re-elect him.

Take Newt…please. We all knew he was the smartest guy in the room. Now we know he’s also the meanest, most self serving, arrogant and hypocritical. After making millions for talking to companies like Freddie and Fannie, Newt is shocked that Mitt Romney made money working for Bain Capital. Newt wants Mitt to hold a presser explaining Bain’s success. He even claimed that there should be a cut off for profit. Wow, that sounds like Barnewt Ogingrich. As Newt himself might say about that comment were not from himself, “that is a stunningly hypocritical and naive statement coming from probably worst candidate in recent memory.” By sitting on a couch with Grand Fran Nan Pelooser, Newt screwed himself more than all of Romney’s money ever could.

So, to hell with Newt and the box of rocks from the lone star state. The two of them seem more interested in destroying Romney than winning the nomination or helping the country. It is now a two man race, Romney and Santorum.

AL, Mitt fires people and Conspiracy theory #12a

2012-01-10T08:14:00.000-05:00

Wow that was an old fashion arsewhippin’. Lex’s prediction was pretty much spot on. More big plays. Mostly on first down. All by AL. More mistakes. All by LSU. AL had only one penalty all night. That came on a 4th quarter punt. LSU took the 5 yards, re-punted and AL ended up with better field position than they had before the 5 yard assist. That’s the kind of night it was for LSU. Still, it was a 2 score game until late in the 4th which diabolically kept people tuned into a game that stat wise was never even close. The real question is, is big sis at work today celebrating with the rest of the state, or taking the day off to drive to Tucaloosa to welcome the team home? The world wonders.

An imponderable: Republicans are PO’d at Mitt for firing people. Seems to me Newt and Perry picked the wrong topic upon which to pile on Romney. Isn’t that exactly what they expect voters to do in Nov, fire the P-BO?

Romney’s logical response in addition to the brilliance noted above should be, “Of course you have to fire people occasionally. Do you want to run things like the Post Office? Like AmTrak? Like unionized public education? Like some lib lemming Ivy League tenured faculty association? Besides, didn’t the P-BO just announce that he was going to fire 10’s of thousands of military personnel? Seems to me you should be attacking libs who won’t fire even the most incompetent public employees instead of me who fires people who need to be fired.”

Which is a beautiful segue into conspiracy theory #...what are we up to…12 or 13? Let’s call it 12a just in case. Back on July 2, 2008 in Colorado, then presidential candidate B-HO said this:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Last week the P-BO took the first step toward that goal. Not by providing funds for your local police dept or the FBI, but rather in true Lib form by dragging the military down.

Aside: Have you ever noticed that when Libs talk about equality of income their plan is never to lift the poor but rather to punish achievers? They whine about the safety of a Prius owner when he gets clobbered by any real car. So instead of requiring the Prius to up its game and become safer, they require other cars to be lighter so everyone is less safe.

And so it goes with this conspiracy theory. The P-BO wants a “civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the military. He knows he cannot afford two military forces that are as “powerful,” “strong,” and “well funded.” So what to do? Easy, if you can’t bring the “civilian national security force” up, you cripple the military and bring them down. So he has fired tens of thousands of ground military personnel.

Now we already have local police, county police, state police, state bureaus of investigation, DNR, national guard, ATF, FBI, TSA, ICE, DHS, US Marshall Service, Border Patrol and get this, 27 federal offices of inspector general within the federal government with criminal investigators who have arrest and firearm authority. The Secretary of Education actually has his own armed task force. Huh? Yeah, really.

Now, if you take just the armed federal officers you have about 36 per 100,000 citizens. If you role in the state officers you ‘d probably increase the 36 ten fold.

If you brought all of the state officers under federal control because, I don’t know, say the DOJ determined that they were all racists for enforcing immigration law like in AZ. Who would those forces report to? Well the likely dept would be the DOJ. That would put a force equal to or exceeding our armed forces under the control of Eric the wad America is a nation of cowards Holder.

It’s also significant for this theory that the P-BO insists that all of the proposed military force reduction come from the infantry in the Army and Marine Corps. If you are trying to quell an insurrection of you own people, you’d want ground pounders for that kind of work. You don’t want to be bombing and strafing your own citizens from the air. That is a hard sell. If the local police are encouraging the insurrection by say allowing OWS types to break the law with impunity, by crapping on or stealing everything that doesn’t move, the last thing you’d want is military ground forces moving in to restore order. Maybe that's what the P-BO wants. He wants the optics of jets bombing OWS scum. Continue to stock up on pepper spray and ammo. Might as well, they don't go bad.

Well there you have it. A brilliant conspiracy theory if ever there was one. I expect Ron Paul to jump on this before the polls close tonight in NH.

A different game tonight

2012-01-09T09:16:00.002-05:00

A bit under the weather today. Hope to rally by game time tonight.

Prediction: After a 40+ day lay off, it’ll be a much different game this time around. There will be mistakes, more big plays and the score will be in the 24-17 range in favor of the Tide.

The Steelers were Tebowed yesterday. OK the receiver on the last play did 90% of the work, slapping two Steeler defenders away in rout to a 65 yard run after catch TD. So technically, the Steelers were Thomased.

After the game, ESPN idiot Chris Berman, rumbled, bumbled and stumbled into this line of inexplicable BS. He wondered aloud, did Chris, what Steelers QB Ben Rothlesbereger might have done had Denver only managed a field goal on their possession. Then he correctly noted, “We’ll never know.” If he was calling for the NFL to wise up and just add a 10 minute OT period, that isn’t what he said. He seemed to be wishing that there were a mechanism whereby the Steelers could take the field and just win the game.

Tomorrow conspiracy theory #12.

How about a more robust reserve force?

2012-01-06T08:30:00.000-05:00

After successfully shutting down NASA, the P-BO has trained his cost cutting gun on the military. The guy who is running a trillion dollar budget deficit every year intends to balance that budget by cutting 48 billion a year from the defense budget for the next ten years. So don’t worry Mr. and Mrs. America, the P-BO is on the case. While we go another ten trillion in the hole the P-BO is going to “save” us 480 billion.

Prediction: It’ll end up costing 3 times any savings we achieve to mobilize during the next conflict.

Defending the move the P-BO said:
“I firmly believe, and I think the American people understand, that we can keep our military strong and our nation secure with a defense budget that continues to be larger than roughly the next 10 countries combined.”
Well, as long as he “firmly believes” that, it should be enough dissuade any aggression from the likes of China, Russia, N Korea, Iran, any country in the Middle East who would like to see Israel gone, Hezbollah, Hammas, al Qaeda, South American Narco Terrorists and the Taliban. Ooops, as the slowest of all Joes noted not long ago, the Taliban are no longer our enemy.

If you’re going to save money you have to go to where the money is. In spite of the massively expensive weapons systems we own, most of the defense cost is captured in military pay and retired benefits. So the defense brainiacs are going to cut roughly 10,000 ground pounders from the Army and Marines. Actually, that makes sense. It’s easier and quicker to train an infantryman than a fighter pilot.

It’s unnecessary, but it makes sense. Reserve units operate at a cost of about 1/3rd that of an active duty unit. Seems to me, it might be in our national interest and an economic stimulus as well, if we rolled 15,000 into the reserves to reach the same savings while maintaining essentially the same combat power.

Take all 15,000 out of the Army. Make the Marine Corps a rapid reaction force to fight and hold until the Army can mobilize and follow on to fight and win. I know. The Marines would win before the Army could get there, but you have to sell these things.

With regard to any real personnel cuts in the military, I’d start with the Pentagon and the general officer corps. About 99% of the BS in the military starts in the five sided puzzle palace and trickles down to the last private, whose response is almost always, “what stupid f^%k dreamed this BS up?”

Take the Army’s diversity program which it prides itself in and values more than the safety of soldiers at Ft Hood. Anyone with half a brain knows it’s BS. I’ll take 20 men 18 to 22 years old with high school diplomas who meet rigorous physical, mental and moral standards and train them in the military art for 6 weeks. You take 20 gay, girl, hijab wearing drug using high school drop outs and train them for 6 weeks. Then we’ll run the obstacle course at Quantico. It’s not discrimination. It’s commonsense, a virtue quite uncommon in the halls of the Pentagon.

So we’re going to dump 10,000 trigger pullers to make budget. Who do you think is going to get dumped? Hint, it won’t be any incompetent Maj Nidal Hasan types. They are too diverse for our new Army to be asked to do their job or get the hell out. And if you won’t get out, please, pretty please don’t kill 13 people for the love of Allah.

Then, to save more, the bean counters will restructure retirement and retiree medical coverage. Most say the congress will ask military retirees to contribute more toward their retirement and medical coverage.

ASIDE: Isn’t that exactly what union thugs are trying to recall Scott Walker for in WI? Has the P-BO bounced this off of Andy unionize the world Stern and Richard the dick Trumka? Will the P-BO be showing up in WI to support Scott Walker?

I have no problem with restructuring retirement and medical. Why should I? I’m probably grandfathered. I’ve noted on this page since day one that retirement shouldn’t be paid to military retirees until age 60. As for medical, it was my understanding when joining the grand and glorious Marine Corps that medical would be provided on a space available basis for retirees, sort of like catching a military hop. Wait in line and take your chances. I don’t know when that arrangement morphed into a, we’ll pay for everything for the rest of your life program. Unless you were wounded in combat or injured in the line of duty, it shouldn’t be.

With friends like these...

2012-01-05T08:29:00.004-05:00

Meg McCain, as expected, trashes Santorum while daddy buries the hatchet with Romney. As Stewie might say, Damn you McCains!

Ugh! I’m rethinking the Romney thing. John McCain came out and endorsed Mitt while McCain’s brain-dead daughter was dumping on Santorum. Lex hates being in the same camp as McCain, prison or otherwise. It makes me think I’ve missed something big.

As we know from having dealt with the P-BO for the last three years you can often tell as much about a person by who is friends are as who his enemies are. In the P-BO’s case his friends like, Rev? Jerry G-D America Wright, Billy bomb boy Ayers, Van commie Jones and Andy public unions Stern say as much about him as his list of enemies which include any western philosopher, America, England and the founders.

So I’m not crazy about being thrown in with the McCains. And just who the hell is Meghan McCain anyway? Seems to me she is like an overweight ugly Kardashian without the money or substance. What exactly is it that qualifies her to comment on anyone? Her great qualification to date is being famous for...what...being famous?

It’s quite simple. Like Ron Reagan Jr., she’s famous because her father was/is a well known Republican and they can be counted on to trash Republicans on TV. So they become the go to people for the lib lemming media. Like her name sake on Family Guy, Meg Griffin, Meg McCain should be treated like an invisible deaf mute - as if she's not even there - right up to the point that she does say something, then she should be laughed at and riduculed.

I may stick with Romney, but now I’m considering a Santorum or Paul sticker for my car so that nobody will know that I’m in cahoots with the McCains, particularly someone as clueless and irrelevant as Meg.

The race is on

2012-01-04T08:25:00.001-05:00

And the winner is…Rick Santorum. Sure he came up 9 votes short of actually winning the thing, but he’s in a pretty good position for South Carolina now, particularly if Bachmann and Perry drop out.

With winning will come the media anal exam. The full onslaught of lame stream media and Romney money will be trained directly on Rick Santorum. It always comes as every candidate who is not Mitt Romney gains a bit of traction.

Expect the first line of attack from the media to about Santorum’s stance on gay marriage. The baby splitter network, Fox News, tried in the person of Shepard Smith, but Santorum smacked him around pretty good with the old, “we love all kinds of people, but we don’t call it marriage” argument. Sort of like I love my mom, but I don’t want to marry her analogy.

When pressed by the flip Smith why he’s “against” it, Santorum lifted a razor sharp knife under Smith’s ribs with, “I’m not against anything. I’m for something, marriage.” The exchange proved one thing is certain, Smith is always at his best when he’s arguing with himself. He quickly falls out of his depth when there is a thinking human being offering the answers.

I don’t remember why Lex ruled Santorum out early in this process. Probably because he took a 13 point drubbing in his last bid for re-election as PA Senator. I probably thought, there’s no way he could win the general.

Lex has turned on that a bit. Almost anyone could beat the P-BO, if they choose to go after him. The P-BO is such an utter and complete weasel who has chosen to surround himself with other complete weasels like life long pastor Rev? Jerry G-D America Wright, Billy let’s blow up the Pentagon Ayers, Van sure I’m a communist, so what Jones. The P-BO is an incompetent buffoon who surrounds himself other incompetent buffoons like the oh so slow Joe shovel ready Biden, gun runner and accomplice to murder Eric the wad Holder, and the failed energy secretary who invested in Solyndra and electric cars that catch fire easier than a box of kitchen matches, Nobel Prize winning (Ha! it used to mean something) Dr. Stevie I can see the light Chu.

Santorum will also likely acquire more votes from Newt Gingrich’s promised negative campaign against Romney than Gingrich will. Lex opined at the time that Gingrich had sunk his own campaign before it started by sitting on a couch with Grand Fran Nan botox face Pelosi. The only thing Newt will accomplish from here on out is to give talking points to Demo-Dopes for the general election and paint himself as a sore loser. He was at his best when he reserved his sharpest attacks for the P-BO. He should go back to that strategy and let the chips fall.

Lex would be happy with Santorum, but the P-BO and his @$$clown menagerie have dug such a deep hole that it’ll take someone with Romney’s affable personality, tough minded business sense and savvy to easy us back onto the road of exceptionalism that, before this group of liberty thieves, has been our destiny.

Catching up

2012-01-03T08:45:00.000-05:00

Iowa: Not all that important in the big scheme of things, totally irrelevant for the next 10,000 years if they caucus for Ron Paul.

Kim Jong IL: After much wailing and pounding of fists in agony over the dear leaders demise, he’s finally rotting in hell. All that wailing, but did anyone see even one actual tear? I didn’t. I wondered if anyone else did.

And there is this from AF Bro:

I am really concerned about North Korea's appointment of "dear leader". Kim Jung Ill's youngest son is to be the new leader of . . . North Korea . . . a nuclear power!

Kim Jung Un (pronounced Kim's young-un?) had NO military experience whatsoever before daddy made him a four-star general in the military. This is a snot-nose twerp who has never accomplished anything in his life that would even come close to military leadership. He hasn't even so much as led a Cub Scout troop, let alone coached a sports team or commanded a military platoon. So, setting that aside, they make him the "beloved leader" of the country. Terrific!

Oh, crap! I'm sorry. I just remembered that we did the same thing here, We took a community organizer who has never worn a uniform and made him Commander-in-Chief . . . a guy who has never led anything more than an ACORN demonstration and made him the leader of this country.

Never mind . . .

Our Army’s decline: Yeah, Gen Amos you're right, everything is going swimmingly with regard to the integration of Gays into the armed services. Bravo sir! How much more can we stand? Well there's this to pile on to the...what..."stuff" above. After a complaint by The Council on American-Islamic Relations the US Army has decided that it’s OK with Muslim cadets wearing hijabs in Army J-ROTC programs.

CAIR? Wait a minute. Wasn’t that the group that was named a co-conspirator for funneling money to the Holy Land Foundation? Why yes, they were. Besides, do you suppose the US Army would let Lex jr. wear a Knights of Columbus uniform? Doubt it. Can Hyman Horowitz wear his Yarmulke? Doubt it. Can Hare Krishnas wear robes and play their finger cymbals? Doubt it. This is no doubt an effort to reach out to the future Maj Nidal Hasan’s on campus. It’s also in keeping with nit wit Gen George Casey’s comment:

"…as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse."

In fact, in allowing this latest BS the Army issued the same BS logic :
“The Army prides itself in being a diverse organization, comprised of individuals from many faiths and religions.”

Riiight. Too bad it’s never the purveyors of this kind of insanity or their kin gunned down because of this type of BS. Sadly it’s never the architects of this type of BS that get caught in the crossfire of the easily foreseeable consequences.

CORRECTION: In a post under, Lex mistakenly attributed the above quote to Gen Sullivan. 10,000 apologies to Gen Sullivan.

Mahre Vs. Tebow: After a Denver loss to Buffalo, HBO un-funny man Billy Mahre tweeted that God had f&^ked Tebow. Billy M. is a pathetic little man. He is so small of stature as to have to stand on a nickel to piss on a dime. He’s that puny. The only thing smaller than Billy M himself is Billy M’s intellect. In that regard, his brain would have to stand on an atom to piss on a neutron. Atheist Billy M thinks he’s cutting edge because he takes on Christians, who he knows won’t hit back. Hey Billy, Muslims believe in a god. Why don’t you put up those Muhammad cartoons? Because you know they’d kill your worthless @$$. It’s just healthier to stick to picking on Christians.

Riots: There were riots at the Mall of America over the break. I can’t recall, and am too lazy to look it up, if the riot was over sneakers or rumors that a couple of rappers were on the scene or rumors of free money from P-BO's "stash." Now if Joe Arpio showed up and started to enforce the law, no doubt Eric the wad Holder would be investigating him because most of those arrested were black. And just where the hell are Revs? Jesse and Al when this kind of depravity occurs in the black community?

DOJ blocks SC voter ID: In his continuing effort to steal an election for his know nothing boss, Eric the wad Holder has decided, while you must produce an ID to buy a gun, a constitutionally protected activity, no such requirement can be used to protect the validity of our national elections. Weird huh.

Republican need an effective truth teller

2011-12-21T08:37:00.001-05:00

Harry this war is lost Reid is in a huff because John Boehner won’t play ball with the senate, that and the shirt Barney Frank wore in the pic below was his. Now it’s all stretched out. So the bike riding, pomegranate sucking, cowboy poetry reading land thief took to the airwaves to bash Boehner for not being able to “control his caucus.”

Were I a Demo-Dope senator, I’d PO’d. The obvious inference is that Harry the scrawny one can “control Demo-Dopes in the senate.” This is a perfect opening for an Allen West truth teller. Link Joe Manchin, Ben Nelson, Clair McCaskill and Jon Tester to Harry (budget? We don’t need no stinkin’ budget) Reid.

It seems to me, any time that this worthless dirt bag opens his sewer slit, it’s a perfect time for some Republican to ask, “Mr. Leader, (insert air quotes over leader) how’s the senate budget coming along this year? It’s been over 1,000 days since the senate produced a budget. Until you do you can go to hell. By your own words you are running with a pack of lemmings, yet you still cannot produce a budget. Too busy enriching yourself with shady land deals?” I don’t now why there are so few Republicans willing to stick it to this creep.

Hell Republicans won’t even make the case that the Dopes are trying to de-fund Social Security. Why the FICA tax? Why not a three month income tax withholding holiday? That would put real money in the hands of the working class. They go after FICA because the Dopes and sadly the Reps know that they can raise that tax to “keep social security from going broke” a lot easier than the income tax.

They don’t have it in them to stick to this pile of bovine crap. They won’t do it. I don’t know why. It is such a target rich environment. Not having an effective spokesperson willing to tell the truth about puss oozing scabs pretending to be public servants like Harry Reid, Pelosi, Holder, Biden and the P-BO is one of the great disappointments of being conservative for the last 40 years.

But hey it’s Christmas let’s wrap our awards

Guy Lex would most like to have a beer with: Well anyone, but Mike Rowe the Dirty Jobs and Ford spokesguy seems like he’d be a hoot.

Guy Lex would most like to have over for dinner with the family: Tim Tebow. I’d invite him on a Tues night and after dinner take him to our Scout meeting unannounced. There’s not a better example for young men. Of course he’d take me to task for this page, but hey I’m willing to put up with that for Lex jr. and the others to have the opportunity to meet this great man.

Lex’s Person of the year: Time picked the protestor. I’ll go them one better. I pick the protestor crapping on the cop car. Nothing captured the OWS movement better. An unwashed pant load crapping on public property. Who is supposed to clean up after him? Does he think one of the 1% is going to clean that car? He is the 99% of the people involved in that movement. As such, if you see a sale on ammo, stock up. They will be back with a vengeance in the spring.

It’s Christmas. It almost got by me this year. Enough of this stuff until after the New Year.
Here’s the true meaning of Christmas captured perfectly by a cartoon character.
And this great Christmas song.
Merry Christmas to all.

Tyrant dies of over work and Lex's end of the year awards

2011-12-19T07:42:00.004-05:00

Kim Jong Il is dead. What? Dead?! We didn’t even know Kim Jong was ill. Rim shot. Apparently the dear leader died of fatigue from physical and mental over work. Unless playing golf badly is counted as work, we don’t have to worry about our own dear dope suffering any such demise. You can expect the Thomas L. my head is flat Freidman types to write an obit along these lines: “Like the Chinese that I love and admire and think we ought to emulate, Kim did great things for N Korea. Sure hundreds of thousands starved or were murdered, and the world was on constant nuclear alert while this genius was running things, but admit it, nobody did a parade better. The US should learn from Kim.” Good riddance to another of the world’s tyrants.

The end of the year is near. Let’s see if we can catch up on some stuff.

A pictorial metaphor for green energy. Wind turbine blows up because wind blew too hard.

Most under reported story: Global warm-mongering HOAX
Canada has pulled out of Kyoto. More damning e-mails have been produced exposing the warm-mongers for the deceitful lying @$$bags that they are. In the last 10 years even the manipulating lying scumbags (aka AlGore) cannot demonstrate any rise in global temperatures, making Mann’s BS hockey stick graph on global warming look more like the perfectly even hockey blue line. Economic conditions around the world even have global warm-mongers saying, WTF we still need jobs, and cars to get to the jobs. There is one “green jobs” fiasco after another like Solyndra and the hyper expensive and foreign made Fisker auto that wasted hundreds of billions of taxpayer money. But at least they were not catching fire like the overpriced, government subsidized and backed Chevy volt, not too dissimilar from the picture above.

Yet, Libs, media know nothings, and their public school educated legions are still insisting that the end is near if everyone does not return to an agrarian economy and ride bikes, everyone that is except for them. This is a clear case of too many people having invested so much into a non-sense theory that they’d rather see the world economy crash than to admit they were wrong. I mean if they back track on global warm-mongering what’s next? If science proves them to be the lying scumbags that they are with regard to global warm-mongering, science may go so far as to prove that a baby is in fact a baby. Then they’d really be screwed.

Most over reported story: OWS is just like the Tea party
No it isn’t. First off, the media and Demo-Dope tried to kill off the Tea Party branding them everything from Nazis to racists. Yet the Tea Party continues to grow in numbers. The MSM and Demo-Dopes have embraced the OWS losers up to the point that it has become clear that doing so was a political risk. Now that a large percentage of Americans are sick of the vermin scum that make up the movement, the Dopes have backed away. OWS say they are the 99%. True, they are 99% of all the unwashed losers in America.

Lex’s Person of the Year for Ill (Not Kim Jong): The P-BO
While running the country 15 TRILLION DOLLARS INTO DEBT, that’s $48,000 per citizen, the P-BO has wrecked the economy, weakened the military, encouraged the decline of American influence around the world and encouraged the division of Americans along racial, social, economic and educational lines here at home. Way to go Barry. You’re doing a heck of a job. He has an idiot for VP by design. He has a lying, racist, buffoon who is an accomplice to murder for Attorney General. He has laden the government with scores of unelected unconfirmed czars who have written volumes of job killing regulations designed more to keep lawyers employed than to protect anything. It’ll take years, perhaps decades, to unravel the harm these people have done.

I'm not sure I'd trust myself, let alone half-wit, with this kind of power

2011-12-16T08:29:00.002-05:00

No, I didn’t watch it, the debate that is. I went with some friends to stuff food baskets last night. Then we headed to a local sports bar to watch Thursday night football. We gave up that activity when the score reached the 41-0 mark. We came back to the compound for a nightcap that went until 2 am with two IN boys arguing about the virtues or lack there-of, of Bobby Knight. IN people are funny about basketball. I was supposed to be the tie breaker. You'd have to plumb the depths of the Marianas Trench to imigine how little I care about college basketball. But here's my tie breaker - Knight went to the Ohio State University, so I sided with Bobby.

I haven’t had time to even look too deeply into who the pundits say won last night. It’s all much ado about nothing. Voting starts soon, and voters can begin telling us who they think the debate winner was with their votes.

There are two items in the news this morning that need more attention than the 35 Republican candidates each claiming to be more like Reagan than the others.

Item 1: Apparently the US Congress has declared the United States is a battlefield in the war on terror. In doing so, they have established that American citizens on American soil can be snatched up by the military, held indefinitely and without charge. This is the kind of crap that gives Ron Paul a fighting chance to win the Iowa caucus. If Ron Paul never had to declare a stance on Israel, Iran or other foreign policy, he’d be ahead of the field by double digits.

Now, who do you suppose this in-Justice Dept. led by a clueless buffoon would be asking the military to round up? Certainly not the merchants of “workplace violence” like Maj. Hassan. And not voter intimidators like the New Black Panthers. The guy who’d be squarely in the sites of this DOJ would be Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Item2: That’s right. The DOJ has just released a three year investigation on America’s toughest sheriff, Joe Arpaio. And guess what they found? Raaaaaacism and bigotry. I know. It’s shocking that it took this menagerie of @$$clowns three years to put out a report that they had already written before they asked the first person a single question.

So we’ve got congress OKing the military to snatch and grab US citizens on US soil and detain them forever without a charge and the wad calling Arpaio a racist and bigot for enforcing AZ law. Do you suppose these two might be connected? Do you suppose these things might have a chilling effect on political debate? After all who is the Commander in Chief of the military who is going to be doing the snatching? One Barry the boob Obama. And who is it that is supposed to be protecting us from kidnapping and unlawful detention? One Eric the wad Holder. Come on now, does anyone with half a brain think that is going to end well for America?

And remember it was Republicans in the house who went along with this BS. So you cannot even expect them to come to your defense. When you hear this stuff, you have to give Ron Paul a serious look. I am well aware of Paul’s tinfoil hat foreign policy, but my goodness this stuff is just creepy. If this crap isn’t rolled back, foreign policy won’t matter, because there cannot be an American foreign policy if there is no America.

What passed me by today:

Missing your favorite tv show: Remember when you had to dash home to catch the one show you'd never miss on tv? You don't have to do that any more. First came the video recorder, but you couldn’t even figure out how to get that damned thing to stop flashing 12:00 in a rhythm that you swear was programmed by engineers to mockingly say F*&k when it was lit and you when it dimmed. You had no chance of ever correctly recording your favorite show. Now you can go to Hulu or place a four digit code that corresponds to your favorite show in your DVR and it’ll record that code anytime it comes up on any channel. If that weren’t fool proof enough, and let’s face what is, cable channels record the shows for you and all you have to do is look them up.

Floppy then 3” discs: I don’t have any of the 5” floppy discs anymore. I do have an entire box of 3” hard discs, mostly with pictures on them. I’m looking at my computer there’s not even a port to load such things anymore. I’m going to have to get some after market drive to read the things if I ever want to get anything off them. Sort of like dad’s 8 track bolted under the ashtray.

Walkman: How many of those things do have lying in drawer somewhere? I Have a walkman with cassette player, with a CD player, and an mp3 player all wadded in drawer with wires everywhere. I-pod killed them all, mercilessly.

I know! Let's have another debate and ask the same questions for two hours.

2011-12-15T08:05:00.000-05:00

Lemmesee, it’s Thursday. It’s been, what, four days since the last one. There must be a Republican candidate’s debate tonight. This one is on Fox. For some reason people still believe the baby splitter network has more sway with a conservative audience than say, PMSNBC.

I don’t know why. The last Fox debate was an embarrassment for the network. It had the same none sense questions as all of the other debates. It tried it’s best to pit candidate against candidate rather against the real problem – the P-BO.

I’m going to watch this one start to finish. I predict the winner will be the candidate who refuses to take the bait to bash fellow conservatives and turns questions that attempt to do so on the P-BO.

Question: “Newt, Mitt called you ‘zany’ the other day. Would you like to take this opportunity to call Mitt a name?”

Answer: “No. I’ll tell you what’s zany, being 15 trillion dollars in debt. I’ll tell you what’s zany, asking the Slowest of all Joe’s, Joe shovel ready Biden to be your VP. I’ll tell you what’s zany, having an accomplice to murder as your Attorney General. I’ll tell you what’s zany, an American president bending and bowing to every thug, king, sultan, dictator, emperor and emir that crosses his path. By comparison, I’d look quite normal even if I and my entire cabinet piled out of one those clown cars at the Capitol Building for my first State of the Union address.”

Ugliness
Rabbi Joshua Hammerman let lose this stream hate speech in some left wing Jewish journal;

If Tebow wins the Super Bowl, against all odds, it will buoy his faithful, and emboldened faithful can do insane things, like burning mosques, bashing gays and indiscriminately banishing immigrants.

Wow, Rabbi J, I couldn’t agree more. After all, we know it was those crazed Tebowers who gunned down a dozen people at Ft. Hood in one of the worst cases of work place violence ever right after Tebow lost to AL in the 2009 SEC Championship game.

ASIDE: The dopes in the P-BO administration called the Ft. Hood shootings “work place violence.” I’m not surprised. Just after the shootings, the Chief of Staff of the Army and Elmer Fudd look alike Gordon Sullivan, told reporters that the real tragedy of the Ft. Hood shootings would be if it set back the Army’s efforts at diversity. Fudd, uh, Sullivan should have been fired on the spot. Not only for sponsoring “diversity efforts” that kept a lunatic Islamo-Terror-Fascist in the ranks but also for his off the wall insensitive remarks. So no, after the P-BO let Sullivan’s criminally stupid remarks go un-rebuked, I am not one little bit surprised that the administration called the murder of a dozen US citizens at the hands of a ITF “work place violence.”

Just one more example of the PC cowards that populate the general officer corps of our armed forces.

I’m back on track now. For the record, I do not believe God favors Tebow on the football field. As I once heard during the prayer before a NASCAR race from a fan behind me, “God don’t give a shit who wins this race.” Well said, my friend. Have another beer. But I do believe in the power of prayer, and I believe a lot of people pray for Tebow.

Today's things passed by.
Pagers: Recall when all of the cool and important people, ok and drug dealers carried pagers? Gone.

Developing photos: I remember taking film from my, 110, then my 35mm, into the drug store to be developed. You could get it back in three days or pay extra to have it in 24 hours. Now you look at photos instantly and shoot another picture if it didn’t turn out like you wanted.

Spare tires that look like tires: The donut tire has replaced the full sized spare tire. It saves cost and saves weight in the trunk. But come on, admit it. You’re disappointed when car guy tells you, “No it doesn’t come with a full sized spare tire. If you want one those, buy a pick up.”

The Wad encouraging voter fraud

2011-12-14T08:15:00.001-05:00

Well as usual there are a lot of things going on. So many in fact, it’s hard to focus on one thing. I guess the really big one this morning is that accomplice to the murder of border patrol agent, Eric the wad Holder is set to challenge any state voter ID law that requires a person to:

Produce an ID
Prove he is a resident of the state
Resident of the voting precinct
Legal US citizen
Of legal age to vote
Hasn’t already voted

While the wad sees nothing wrong with New Black Panther thugs standing outside polling places with clubs, he is concerned about state efforts to ensure those voting have a legal right to do so. He is more concerned about illegal aliens and criminals getting to vote than he is about your vote being diluted by Demo-Dope sponsored, organized and supported voter fraud and intimidation.

Here in the US, for the last 40 years, we have had a government that will not control our border. Now we have an administration that - not only will not control the border - but will sue several states who try to do the Feds job for them. They will sue other states for making an effort to identify people not in the country legally – EVEN AFTER THEY HAVE BROKEN THE LAW.

Now the wad is, not only encouraging illegals to enter the country, he is encouraging them vote illegally. This falls right into place with several of Lex’s conspiracy theories – don’t ask which ones. I have numbered them, but I don’t have a clue which is which number. Let’s say theories numbers 3, 6 and 8. One theory called for the P-BO to win the election through voter fraud and intimidation. This action by the wad fits.

Americans have to produce at least three forms of identification to hop a plane overseas. That activity will cause little or no impact on the nation as a whole. We have to produce identification to write a check at the Kroger, or rent a de-thatching machine from Taylor Rental. None of that is being challenged by the wad. The only thing this miscreant is worried about is people having to produce identification at a polling place during an election that will determine the fate of the nation.

Either he brings suit against ever having to produce an ID for any reason; or he requires it only in cases where the national interest is at stake – LIKE VOTING; or he requires ID for everything. Cherry picking voter ID is being done for one reason and one reason only – TO ENCOURAGE DEMO-DOPE VOTER FRAUD.

We all know that dopes want felons to vote, because criminals are major dope voting block. We all know that they leave the border unsecured and encourage voter fraud among the illegals entering the country because those people are a special un-prosecuted subset of the first group – criminals. Now the wad wants open borders and open voting to the world. How long can we last?

Items passé

Mail boxes: I remember living in CA and running to the corner mail box to drop bills in. Today I don’t even know for sure where the closest mail box to the compound is located. I’ll bet it’s at the post office.

Telephone booths: I recall rows and rows of them at airports right off every jetway, shopping malls had two or three locations with a dozen or so phones in each and they were set up at strategic street corners. Quick, where is the nearest phone booth? There may not be one.

Burning leaves: With this bunch, burning leaves is probably a bigger crime than voting illegally. As a kid, I used to see neighbors burning leaves at the curb every year. Three years in suburbia before escaping and not one leaf burning experience. We burn massive amounts of leaves here at the compound. I suspect satellite surveillance will have the Feds closing in on us by 2012 or 13.

Third party means four more years

2011-12-13T08:07:00.000-05:00

Glenn Beck’s a funny guy - funny as in ha, ha and funny as in peculiar. Of late, in addition to advice on how to ride through the coming financial doom, he’s taken to a “nobody is good enough for me” approach to the Republican primary. Well, I shouldn’t say nobody. He’s a Bachmann, Santorum supporter of sorts. I should say he doesn’t support anybody who can actually win the primary.

Yesterday, he about knocked me off my lunch when alluded that he’d support a Ron Paul third party bid before he supported a Romney or Gingrich candidacy. YGBSM. You had better think that through Glenn. A third party run by any credible center right candidate is likely to hand the P-BO another four years.

Beck’s reasoning is that the mainstream Republican candidates are the same as the Demo-Dopes with the exception being the speed at which they’d drive the car over the cliff. Fine I’m with you. How many times has Lex posted the Boehner/Slowest Joe pic to make that very point? However, with time comes a better opportunity to, at some point, apply the breaks. A third party vote will accelerate our course toward destruction and thereby limit future opportunities to apply the breaks or grab the steering wheel.

I will not be at the bottom of the cliff in a smoldering heap proudly stating that I helped accelerate the crash by voting my principles in 2012. Vote your principles in the primary. Then, do the right thing for the country. If you cannot vote “for” the Republican, cast a vote “against” the P-BO. We should have but one principle in the 2012 election; send the P-BO and clueless clan packing. Guess what Glenn? We won’t get there with a third party candidate.

Things that have passed us by
I remember my siblings and me laughing at mom and dad and the shoe box of 8 track tapes they kept handy for drives in their Custom Cruiser with the after market 8 track player bolted up under the ash tray. I recalled this treasured memory when Lex jr hopped into my truck, shut off the CD player and plugged his i-pod into the dash. What the hell I thought, I’m my dad. What else has passed us by? In addition to the bits of stunning insight you get from the lead, as above, I’ll be adding some things that have gone the way of the buggy whip and three pronged pitchfork. Today’s installment:

Prank calls: Who hasn’t had the joy of calling a crazy number and asking, “Is your refrigerator running?” “Well then you better hang up and go catch it!” HILLARIOUS! Or calling the drug store and asking if they had Prince Albert in a can. “Better let him out. He can’t breath.” Or the best, calling your sister’s business pretending to be an out of work, un-bonded, redneck plumber willing to “work around” the bonding issue for a side job or two?

Since the inclusion of caller ID on nearly every phone these days, the joy of the prank call is nearly gone. I suppose I could borrow a buddy’s phone to call the Handy Andy and ask if they install outhouses, “Cuz I need one bad. The toilet here is stopped up bad after taco night, an the wife’s family is comin’ over for the big game. I was just gunna have em use the compost pile out back, but the wife wants sumpin a bit more formal.”

Sadly, it’s taps for the prank call as we knew it.

George Stephanopolis suddenly concerned about marital infedelity

2011-12-12T08:16:00.000-05:00

Apparently there was another debate Saturday night. It was moderated by ABC hacks George taxes are investments Stephanopolis and Diane how can they call it for Bush Sawyer. The debate had a segment where the candidates were asked about marital infidelity. It was a set up for the candidates to take a gratuitous swipe at the new GOP frontrunner thrice married Newt Gingrich.

No one offered the, “George, why don’t ask that question to your former boss” defense. Or the “YGBSM George. You worked for the biggest philandering, lying, raping, disbarred, alley cat who ever – not just lived in the White House – but probably ever even stepped foot in the White House. Now you expect us to believe that you have suddenly grown a conscience about these things? Get back to me when you find out what your former boss thinks about such things” defense. Or the “I don’t care if they were in a threesome with Jerry Sandusky, they’d be a far, far better choice than the sack of crap currently occupying the White House” defense.

They all pretty much took the bait and ripped away. Oddly, the guy who didn’t was Mitt Romney. Even odder, Newt himself was contrite with a bunch of, “I’ve made mistakes…” hooey. By bringing Billy Boy put some ice on it Clinton into the discussion, Newt was given the perfect opportunity to lay waste to the media in general and George S. in particular as the hypocritical turd merchants they are, and by doing so, gain 3 points in the polls. For some reason, he passed it up.

The other big news out of the debate was Romney betting Perry $10,000 in regards to the Texas Governor’s insistence that Romney has been inconsistent on his position on the individual health insurance mandate. The media is aghast that Romney would plop down 10 large of his own money on stage in a bet with Perry. They couldn’t care less about the P-BO betting a trillion of taxpayer money on a failed stimulus plan. They seem even less concerned as to whether or not Perry’s accusation against Romney is true. Screw Perry's accusation. Who cares if it's true or not? Romney just bet 10 grand!!!! That's the real story here.

Look, we’ve all done this. Some loud mouth keeps saying the Green Bay Packers beat the Denver Broncos in the 1963 Super Bowl. Knowing the first Super Bowl wasn't even played until 1967 and it was between the Packers and the Chiefs, you bet 5 million just to shut the guy up. The difference is that Romney can actually pay the bet off, but like you, he knows he isn’t going to have to. The idea is to just shut the dope up, because he won’t take the bet. The larger the sum of money wagered the more certain you are likely to be about the outcome. It’s like betting the field in a horse race then taking a side bet with your dad that you have the winning ticket "right here" in your pocket. Your money on the side bet is pretty safe.

And it’s these media @$$wipes who think it’s Trump that’s not qualified to run a debate.

The Friday round up

2011-12-09T07:53:00.001-05:00

Affirmative Action advancee advocates all are alike
There is irony everywhere in the world today. The Griffin pointed out the irony of the P-BO talking about “fairness.” There is nothing so ironic as our own know nothing, do nothing, be nothing, Nobel Prize winning, affirmative action pass through - King Weasel himself - delivering a speech on fairness.

The King Dope who has been pushed to the head of every line he has ever encountered his entire worthless life talks about “fairness.” Let’s face it, if life were “fair,” this dope would be on parole, smoking a joint while riding a scooter down the back allies of a Hawaiian village looking for a job. Instead he’s hopping Air Force One to sneak McDonald’s hamburgers and play golf.

With his meager academic achievements, how did young Barry get into Columbia? By pushing ahead of several white kids who were much smarter, that’s how. Is that fair? How did B-HO become an editor on Harvard Law Review? By the color of his skin, that’s how. Is that “fair.”

Then there’s the whole Nobel Peace Prize thing. Can anyone, with a straight face, say that the committee’s 2009 decision was “fair”? OK, every bit as “fair” as AlGore’s. In both cases, you had people competing for the award by working a lifetime fighting disease in Africa, Chinese dissidents who have been jailed and tortured, Arabs who risk their lives to promote interfaith understanding and peace. But, the committee gives its most cherished award to…who? They award it to some creepy dope without a single life’s accomplishment. Peace? Ha! The sail eared, walking, talking piece of detritus sat in pew of a church where hate was actively being preached week in and week out, year after year.

Now he’s going to lecture us on “fairness”? WTF? (Win the future.) Next thing you know, Jon Corzine will be lecturing us on the need to be careful when investing our money.

Lying liar lies about lying
Yesterday Attorney General Eric the wad Holder denied that anybody at the Department of Justice lied about Fast and Furious. That of course is a lie. The wad did admit that the DOJ sent “inaccurate information” to Congress. Well come on. How many of us haven’t changed our story when we get caught lying. We either tell the truth then throw ourselves on the mercy of the cops, judge or mom and dad, or we come up with another lie. As it is his nature, the wad just changed his lie. The wad doesn’t seem to be too concerned that a Border Patrol agent was killed by HIS screw up. I wonder how concerned he’d be if these weapons started showing up in DC? I wonder how concerned he’d be if it was his skinny, worthless and cowardly ass being shot at?

Big butt bag befuddled by burger buys
Uh Oh, Moochelle the 1st P-BO is not going to like this. McDonald’s profits are up more than 7% in Nov. That makes sense. Even Lex stops by the golden arches during the Christmas season rush for fries and a Coke. Oh yeah, the family dog had a vet appointment earlier this week. Poor George was pretty traumatized by the whole ordeal. So, I stopped and got him a McDs hamburger and we split the fries. Who knows how much of McD’s boost is due to non-human consumption? Anyway, I’m quite happy that Americans are speaking with their food choices and with them they are shouting at the 1st nanny, Moochelle, “mind your own f&^king business, b!&ch

Saving Social Security by making it go broke faster

2011-12-08T07:31:00.002-05:00

In 2010, Social Security actually paid out more than it took in. The reason this happened can be summed up in three letters - P-BO. The specifics are bit harder to assess. Fewer workers means less tax being paid into the system for sure, but unreported cash deals contribute as well. Also illegal aliens, salt of the earth that we all know they are, may not be paying into the system for doing the construction jobs Americans won’t do.

As we continue our economic decline under Dopealus Maximus who has managed to fill his entire administration without including anyone who has successfully held a private sector job. If ever there was a case for a class action discrimination suite, it seems to me, private sector employers and employees could successfully bring one against the P-BO administration.

I saw something shiny and veered off point for a second there. I’m back. As we continue our economic decline under Dopealus Maximus, the Social Security intake to payout situation is likely to get worse. We’re entering the bubble where more and more people are eligible to draw Social Security and fewer and fewer people are working to pay those benefits. If you believe there is lockbox somewhere in Washington DC that has your name on it with your Social Security money in it, I’ve got three mint Ferraris just back from Japan that I can sell you. See the post two under.

So Social Security, like everything else under the numbskull regime, is a mess. What’s the P-BO’s answer for clearing up the mess? Simple, stop paying into the Social Security fund altogether. How else would you fix a problem? The first thing you always do is make the problem worse. Then you make it crisis. Then you hire a “commission” of old fart retired Washington insiders who have contributed to creating the crisis to come up with a plan for fixing the crisis they created. Then you ignore the commission’s recommendations. Sound familiar?

The P-BOs idea for insuring Social Security and buying votes is to have people stop paying into the system. He wants to extend the payroll tax holiday that has been in place for a year. Fine, I’m all for it. Cut it, burn it, stomp it into the ground, throw it out, and never bring it back. Create accounts for young people to pay into that they own at age 65 or whatever.

None of that will ever happen though. There’s a reason the P-BO wants to cut the payroll tax. He knows the Republicans will have to, at some point, agree to raise taxes to cover the shortfall he is now creating. You cannot not pay into the system for years and then expect draw funds from the system down the road.

So the Republicans face a dilemma. They can do the responsible thing and say, “Look if you expect to draw from the system down the road, you need to start paying into the system now.” Or they can extend the tax break now, then raise the tax later. That option will be the most onerous, because whenever the tax goes up, you can bet there will be fewer people working and more people drawing from the system.

Think of the Social Security fund as an egg timer. Instead of sand, it has bags of cash that slip through a funnel to retirees below. The system is fine as long as there are enough workers at the top to keep throwing bags of cash in that find their way to the retirees at the bottom. For the last year, Washington has decided that no more cash needs to be thrown in at the top. Now the P-BO says he wants to extend that idea. All the while the bags of cash are continuing to flow through the funnel and out the bottom.

As more and more workers head to the bottom of the timer and there are fewer and fewer workers at the top to continue the flow, it won’t be long before there is nothing left to flow to the bottom. That means our egg is done. Maybe we should call our egg timer a goose timer, because with it, we are surly cooking our own goose.

Drudge had this under the headline: Student beaten for sneakers. Why did I know before I ever opened the page that a gang of blacks would be beating up a white kid? Hate crime? Naaaa. Yes this is one post racial country after the P-BO. Revs Jesse and Al, nowhere to be seen.

I'm sure The Donald is, at least, as qualified as the rest

2011-12-07T07:42:00.001-05:00

I see where The Donald is planning to moderate a Republican Candidate’s debate just after Christmas. Right on cue, the know-it-all crowd is up arms. Why, what qualification does he have to moderate a debate? The better question is what qualifications do David Gregory, Wolf Blitzer, Jim Cramer, et al have? So far the sum total qualification and life’s experience of people asking these guys and gal questions is having suffered in the liberal dominated tv news business for enough years to get their own show.

Why not have a debate where Donald trump can ask business questions, a retired Gen can ask military questions, a priest can ask social-moral questions, a farmer can ask ag questions, a rank and file union guy can ask labor questions etc.? What’s wrong with that? What makes the chattering class, who earn a living inside tv news by jawboning incessantly, think they are the only ones capable of asking pertinent questions of these candidates?

For some stupid reason Republicans, who will show up on PMSNBC to be grilled by some whacked out liberal know nothing douche whose sole qualification for asking a question like, “Why is it, do you think, that Republicans hate the poor, minorities and women so much,” is that he looks nice in tie. Yet, it is somehow beneath them for The Donald to ask, “Why are we letting China rip us off every year”.

It’s not just the liberal chattering class throwing water on the idea of a guy who has actually accomplished something in his life asking the candidates questions. All manner of Republican know-it-alls from Karl Rove, George Will and Charles Krauthammer are taken aback by the idea. I’m beginning to side with one of my Lib friends who once famously opined that he’d like to see Karl Rove get a good @$$whippin’.

I have about had it with Fox News as well. They have taken their “Fair and Balanced” approach to such an extent that now not only do they balance the left with a conservative but that conservative can always be counted upon to trash Republicans as well. I now call Fox News the baby splitter network. They get a flaming Lib on to talk up the Lib point of view and then balance that with a baby splitter who can “see both sides.” Yes, of course the Demo-Dopes are wrong for introducing legislation allowing bestiality in the military, but the Republicans don’t want to look too 1890s’ish by opposing it.

WTF? As an 18 year old Lance Corporal once said to me, “I don’t know sir, seems pretty f&%ked up to me that you suck a cock but you can’t drink a beer in the barracks.” I apologize for vulgarity, but that is rather clear thinking, well said to me. And it is fouled up. The solution, of course, will be to allow beer in the barracks as well. When someone complains that prostitutes ought to be able to have a room or two in the barracks, well ok then. After all, they have to make a living as well. What are we becoming?

Oooops. How in the heck did we get over there? Anyway, why not Trump asking few questions. Way to get back on track. That was a strong close Lex.

KS BS

2011-12-06T08:40:00.002-05:00

If you have three of these,

and you turn the keys over to three of these

Here's what you end up with

His royal @$$holiness continues his divide and conquer message today in KS. If you’re playing the drinking game, avoid the phrases, “fair share,” “balanced approach,” and “tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.”

Have you noticed how when the divider in chief talks about a “fair share”, he never says exactly what that share is? Why do you suppose that is? It is because most Americans, let’s say 99% because that is popular now, are common sense fair minded people.

If the dopiest Demo-Dope among us said, “The richest 1% are only paying 50% of all federal income tax. That’s outrageous! They should be paying at least 75%.” Most Americans whether rich or poor would disagree with the government confiscating over half the earnings of one of their fellow Americans.

So the dopes are careful never to articulate what the “fair share” should be. If they did, most Americans’ reaction would be, “YGBSM. The government can just steal more than half of a person’s earnings? That’s dangerous.” So it’s all platitudes and generalities about fair shares, balanced approaches and tax breaks for the rich. It’s never anything specific.

And so it will be today. Everyone of the Rrepublican presidential candidates needs to take to the air waves after the dope is done and ask, “Dear Dope, what percentage of someone’s earnings should the government be able to confiscate as their 'fair share'? The richest 1% are paying nearly 50% of all income taxes now. How much more constitutes their ‘fair share’?” Newt ought to make good on his pledge to follow the P-BO around and show up in KS four hours after the P-BO takes off and ask, "Exactly how much is enough, Mr. P-BO?"

For some reason, it never dawns on our guys that Americans, as a group, are a pretty fair minded and savvy people. I think a vast majority would draw a line on government confiscation somewhere under 50%. Here’s why. We know that if the government can take over 50% from the richest among us, it will have very little trouble taking over 50% from the rest of us.

The NFL at a loss

2011-12-05T08:33:00.001-05:00

The Denver Broncos staged another come from behind win while the Detroit Lions staged another got behind, stayed behind loss. I’m happy about both. As a result of another improbable Bronco win, Tebow hating ESPN analyst Merrill Hodge has been stripped naked and placed in rubber room with 24-7 surveillance for his own safety. When last seen Hodge was heard muttering, “He’ll never be a quarterback in the NFL. He’s a fullback who throws like a fullback.” Psych ward personnel tried to comfort Hodge by reminding him that the Broncos had the 9-3 AFC East division leading New England Patriots coming up in two weeks.

I do not know why Tim Tebow infuriates so many people. Well, I do, but we’ll get to that. In this day and age, who would you rather your son grow up to be like, Tim Tebow or - fill in the blank? Unless the fill in the blank guy is Jesus Christ himself, a large percentage of us would choose Tim Tebow. Who would rather your young daughter be dating, a guy like Tebow or a guy like Billy Boy put some ice on it Clinton? Again, I think we get a 99% to 1% split there.

Those who wouldn’t pick Tebow, let’s call them the Merrillites among us, it seems, have made it their life’s work to dump on the young 2nd year quarterback. Yeah, Merrill, QUARTERBACK! In yesterday’s game, Tebow earned a 149 QUARTERBACK rating while tossing the ball for 202 yards. His opponent, Christian Ponder, a quarterback who throws like professional quarterback, racked up 381 yards, but he only earned a 91 quarterback rating.

What scares the Merillites out there is that Tebow is a guy who not only knows the Bible, but he believes it, lives it and witnesses to it. It’s the last part that particularly galls the Merrillites. How dare he speak of his “Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.” Just who does he think he is, Billy Graham? There is no room for that in the NFL. Rape, sure. Accomplice to murder, why not? Weapons and drug charges, who hasn’t been there? But mentioning Jesus Christ in your post game interview, well, we have to draw the line somewhere.

During his college days, Tebow would use a white pen on his eye black to send out the word on a particular Bible verse. After Tebow graduated, the NCAA banned all markings on eye black. The NCAA is still working on a policy regarding the rape and sodomy of young boys in the locker room of one of its storied programs by an assistant coach. But thank goodness they cleared up that eye black thing. That could have gotten really ugly.

Here’s the big thing. Were it not for football, Merrill Hodge would probably be the guy spinning a towel over his head at the Speedy Wash on the south side to let you know your car was ready. Were it not for football, Tim Tebow would be building an orphanage in the Philippines; or ministering to criminals in a prison; or assisting with surgery in Central America; or opening a half way house in the inner city; or reading to the elderly in an old folks home. But most likely, he’d be doing all of the above.

I think that has a lot to do with the animosity some have for Tebow. They have so much invested in the game, they can’t stand it when a guy shows up who can actually do some thing else beside play. It reminds me of a telling quote from the Bush/AlGore campaign. AlGore was whining, that if Bush lost, he could go back to Texas and still have a life. But politics was all that AlGore knew. If he lost, what would he do? Well now we know. He’d continue to lie his fat backside off while getting rich “telling stories” about things he knows less about than how a microwave oven works to heat food.

Ponder this

2011-12-02T08:30:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I was pondering the imponderable. What if The P-BO wins a second term and the Occupy anything but a job crowd is in control, then what? The hated 1% who are pulling 50% of the load now are going to be expected to…what…pull 80-90% of the load? At what point do the 1% say screw it, divest, buy a beet farm in PA and let the 99% do it?

I thank God for the 1%. They are the ones making this whole thing go. It’s the guys like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs (RIP), Donald Trump, Jack Welch, T Boone Pickens and those who aspire to great things that have the vision, drive, savvy, and creative intellect that drive this country. The country says thank you by confiscating half of what they earn by the sweat of their brow. If they decide it’s not worth it any more, we’re screwed royally.

As they begin to drop out, the P-BO and Occupy crowd will demand those remaining pay more to make up for the lost revenue. That will cause more to drop out and the cycle repeats itself until the 99% actually have to start pulling their fair share of the load.

If you think these whiners are PO’d now when everything is given to them, wait until the P-BO says, “well you know, we might need the public sector unions to pay ½ of 1% into their own retirement fund.” Watch Greece. That’s what will come here.

But that’s not even the biggest problem. Last month, Lex did a bit on some whiner dope who quit his job and peed away 35K for an advanced degree in puppeteering. He dumped 35K down the crapper to learn how to make the same paper mache puppets that Mrs. Glendenning taught us in 2nd grade using a balloon, wheat paste and newspaper strips. Then to his utter shock and dismay, he is actually surprised that there was not a huge market out there for puppeteers with advanced degrees in stuff most of us gave up right after we washed the wheat paste off our hands in 2nd grade.

That pretty much sums up the entire Occupy movement. They are a mob of people with no usable skills. What they lack in skill cannot be made up for by drive and ambition, because the only thing they lack more of than usable skills are drive and ambition. If they had any of that, they’d clean themselves and their “camps” at least once a week. Where’s the next big idea likely to come from, some guy trying to make a ton of money by discovering an alternative to fossil fuel or an unemployed puppeteer whining because no one cares that he’s been fascinated with wheat paste since 2nd grade?

If the “99%” take over this country we’re in heap big pile of doo-doo. No! Hell no! I do not believe for one second that the Occupy losers comprises much more than the 1% of the country they are supposedly railing against. But if we swap the current 1% for that 1%, it won’t be month before the entire country begins to resemble a south side trailer park. No offense to toothless, trailer dwelling, white trash. I used to be one myself.

So yeah, I think it’s pretty important that we boot the sail eared affirmative action pass through incompetron out of the WH. To fail to do so is too imponderable to ponder.

Outhouse thinking

2011-12-01T08:03:00.001-05:00

I was cutting tin in the barn yesterday for my outhouse - Yeah outhouse, every compound needs one. The first thing the feds do when they surround a place is cut off the electricity and the water. – I began to wonder how America could have elected such a dunderheaded dope as their chief executive. What the hell did 53% of American voters see in this chump’s history that would lead a rational thinking person to pull the lever for a jug eared narcissist? I arrived at the conclusion that the 53% are pure and simple racists.

No not racists in the sense of wearing sheets and burning crosses. Racists in the sense that the only thing they saw was the color of the P-BO’s skin. Any white guy with the P-BO's background would not have made it out of Iowa.

There was such a complete void of any meaningful accomplishment. What had he done? Aside from running for office and putting his name on two books written about himself, the P-BO’s list of jobs, voting record and life’s history added up to exactly ZERO. If you add in the negative characters, Ayers, Wright, Jones etc., it would be a large negative number. His time in the IL state senate is the perfect example. His big accomplishment there was being and voting “present.”

In the Marine Corps, the gunny would explain anyone with the P-BO’s credentials and meteoric rise in the following terms:
All flash, no bang.
Shows up after the attack in a dress uniform and holds a press conference.
You could build a stairway to heaven with all of the Marines he’s climbed over.
Can hear him coming at a 1,000 meters because of the band he hired to toot his horn.
Will step in front of anyone junior to himself in the chow line.
Have to build three extra shitters on field exercises just to handle his BS.
With all his hot air, there’s no such thing as cold weather training in this battalion.

So he’s elected, and from the first day it has been one major foul up after another. His first official act was to declare he’d close G’itmo in a year. No plan. No hint of a plan. Just sign an order without one second of thought. It’s still open. From bailing out banks to running car companies, from apologizing for America to bowing before Saudi and Chinese despots, from calling America an arrogant country to running guns to Mexican drug lords, from sitting on his skinny backside during a budget crisis to creating that crisis by pissing hundreds of billions of dollars down the drain on “stimulus,” this guy has been a total and complete disaster.

Today the country, nay, the world teeters on disaster in large part due to this moron’s incompetence. Yet he remains a viable candidate for president. WTF (Win the Future)? You’d think this guy would go on tv and say, “Wow, I really f%$ked that up.” At least a LBJ moment, “I will not run, nor will I accept the Demo-Dope nomination for the President of the United States.” Instead we’re getting, “Hey, the second term has to be an improvement, after all, how much worse could I possibly F*&k it up? Vote for renewed hope and change in 2012.”

This election season reminds of the photo of a bill board constructed somewhere that had these words on it:

If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you’re not a racist, please vote against him 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.

Better to be a known womanizer than to try to deny the charges

2011-11-30T09:03:00.000-05:00

It’s that time of year when Lex begins to tune out all of the “news” crap in an effort to enjoy Christmas and the New Year. Not having heard much news wise since Thursday, here’s what’s up. We got about 4” of global warming last night. It’s the second snowfall already this year. To the crowd at the University of East Anglia, this has to be the missing piece of data that needs to be fudged, ignored, denied and lied about that pretty much puts the final nail in the coffin of the global warming doubters. Snowfall in Ft. Wayne on the 29th of Nov. means the debate is officially over.

Even if you’re “tuned out,” who could miss the latest with my man Herman Cain? Lemme just say, if you’re tweeting some gal, not your wife, in the wee hours of the morning there is seldom a legitimate reason for it. I’d go with the, “I was counseling a troubled woman through difficult times,” line of BS. But who really knows? And that’s the point, nobody really knows. Even if it’s all an elaborate lie and sham, Cain has been damaged so badly with so much doubt cast upon him, I think he’s toast.

So who will benefit? Newt as the new anti-Romney will gain the most. This scandal has the added benefit of inoculating Newt from similar charges. First off, Newt has the advantage of being known serial womanizer. So he can always say, “Yes, yes, of course it’s true, and it’s old news. It’s a well known fact that when it comes to romance, I’m a deeply flawed human. I have turned the corner on that period of my life with a new religion that I take very seriously and a new wife that I truly love. No really, I mean it this time.”

Second, how many times can you go to the same political scandal well? At some point, when all 37 Republican candidates have these kind of charges leveled against them, people begin wonder. I find it a bit ironic that Herman is in such deep trouble for mere allegations when Newt, a confirmed philanderer, has gotten a pass. It’s funny because Herman vehemently denies every accusation while Newt, says, “Yeah, that’s pretty much true.” Yet, it’s Herman who is on the ropes while Newt's star continues to rise. Weird Huh?

I believe that Herman will end his candidacy with a statement to the effect, “I cannot continue to put my wife and family through this drip, drip, drip of daily lies.”

Well, I have to get out there and get the global warming off the driveway.

The world teeters

2011-11-29T08:29:00.000-05:00

The world is a mess. The Arab Spring unsurprisingly has led to the rise militant Islamo-Terror-Fascists in Egypt and Libya. The ITF vow to wipe out Israel. Iran is on the brink of developing nuclear weapons. They vow to use them on Israel. The Israelis, absent leadership from their heretofore stalwart ally the United States could take matters into their own hands and set off a regional conflict that could easily become a worldwide conflagration. They may already have taken the first step. This morning, there are reports of an Iranian missile base being destroyed by an unknown explosion.

Europe is also a mess with rumors of the collapse of the Euro surfacing every other day. Our own dope has pledged “to do what we can” to easy the insability in the Euro Zone. Think about that. Isn’t that sort of like a skid row bum standing around the trash can fire saying, “I want to buy a Bugatti.” He looks at another bum and asks, “Will you help me?” The other bum replies, “Well, you know, I’ll do what I can.” We’re 15 trillion in debt. I can’t see barrowing from the Chinese to bail out Europe.

Europeans are turning to Germany to bail out the Euro Zone. Since May 8th, 1945, the Germans and much of the rest of free Europe have been able to rebuild their countries and economies unburdened by the need for a credible national defense which has been provided for them by the United States. So what to do with all of that unspent defense capital?

Back in the 70s the European eggheads all got together and decided that together they could form an economic alliance that could rival the United States. In 1991, 15 countries formed the European Union. In 1999 11 of the EU countries went all in and dumped their own currency in favor of the Euro. A little over a decade later, the thing is a mess. Greece and Italy decided that since their fiscal insanity was being backed by the Germans and French they could continue to heap more and more largess onto the key voting blocks.

Now, the Germans are getting sick of bailing out unsustainable social spending in countries, not their own. The house of cards is about to collapse. This is pretty predictable. It’s no different than the Little Red Hen who gathered, sowed, reaped and milled the wheat, baked the bread and cleaned the kitchen. All the while, the rest of the barnyard animals sat about. When the bread was cooked all wanted an equal share of the reward irrespective of their effort in gathering supplies, baking and cleaning up kitchen. And doesn’t that just about sum up OWS?

It is now the time of reckoning. But how does a country extract itself from a union that it entered into without some pretty harsh backlash? It’s like a divorce, there’s never a good time for it. Well, we’ll wait until we get through the holidays. Well, we’ll wait until we get the kids through school. Well, we’ll wait until we get our finances squared away. Germany is probably hoping for a three month window of stability when it can say, “OK well everything looks rosy. You guys take care. We’ll always be best of friends, right? See ya.” Someone always has hurt feelings and spends an inordinate amount of time trying to "get even." Anyway, the window for Germany is probably several years away.

But hey there’s good news for the Europeans. The former head of the House Banking Committee, Barney Frank, is going to be available. That’s right, I see that Madam Frank is retiring. This piece of crap is exactly what is wrong with Washington DC. 16 years in congress for some dope who ran a male prostitution wing out his basement. I wonder, was Jerry Sandusky was a client? By insisting that the government should back home loans to people who had no means to pay the money back, he was also partly responsible for the near collapse of the American financial system! Then after nearly destroying the system, the douche bag who caused all the problems gets to write the bill that is supposedly going to fix the whole thing. That is Washington DC in a nutshell. Screw something so badly the entire nation is thrown into chaos, and then you get to write the bill that “fixes” the problem you created. It is exactly like when the dopes who destroyed the CIA and FBI ability to collect intelligence, then sat as inquisitors wondering why the CIA and FBI couldn’t uncover the 9-11 attacks. Good riddance you blubbering buffoon. But our loss could be the Euro Zone’s gain.

Some how I’m not offended by this: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/whiteface-performance-artist-stirs-race-controversy-in-harlem-you-still-a-nier/

OWS boycotts the NFL, I wonder why?

2011-11-28T08:07:00.001-05:00

It was a rainy Sunday here in lovely Ft. Wayne, IN. What better way to spend a rainy day than to watch a bit of football. Throughout the day, I was watching literally 100s of multi-millionaires, coached by other millionaires, playing on football teams owned by millionaires several 100s of times over, playing in stadiums mostly built by public money but mysteriously named after corporations instead of public heroes, filled with mostly wealthy people who’ll pop a couple of C notes for a ticket, 20 bucks for parking, 40 bucks for a beer, hotdog, and a program.

I wondered, where is the OWS crowd? If ever there were a 1%, it’d have to be professional athletes, owners, coaches, advertisers and yeah, people who can afford to shell out the money to take in one game – let alone season ticket holders and luxury sky box owners who support the pampered few at field level.

If ever there were a prime target for this miss mash of misfits, knuckleheads, whining losers, criminals and perverts who would be totally at easy naked in a Penn State locker room with Jerry Sandusky, pro football would be it. Yet nothing. Zero. Zip. Nadda. Not one tent anywhere in the league. Nothing. Why?

If it were about putting it to the 1%, there would have been protests across the league. But when you look at the description of who makes up the OWS crowd from above, you quickly realize that, if you threw in union thug, it’s also a description of the Demo-Dope base. OWS isn’t about much of anything except getting the jug eared dope currently occupying the WH another term. And if they have to destroy a bit of America to make that happen, well so be it.

The OWS crowd wants confrontation with the cops. The last thing WH operatives would want is some of OWS debris getting the $h!t slapped out of them by some of those crazy Oakland Raiders fans for trying to burn an American Flag or trying to block the entrance to the stadium. The cops would never be able to get there fast enough to stop a fire team of guys like the one pictured above from massacring an entire battalion OWS half wit wimps.

If it did happen, it could lead to an all new sport, local fans Vs OWS. People would pay to see Cincinnati Bengals fans line up in orange and black on one side of River Front Park and OWS mingling on the other. Then at the sound of the whistle, blown by the mayor, the fans descend on the OWS crowd with buckets of soapy water and scrub brushes and give them a good cleaning before dumping them into the Ohio River.

Then there’s this. After another come from behind victory by the Denver Broncos with Tim Tebow under center, ESPN has placed Merrill Hodge on 24 hour suicide watch. All sharp objects have been removed from his home and he’s been forced to wear nothing but loafers least he try to use his shoe laces to hang himself. Never has one human being been so invested in the failure of another. Tebow refuses to cooperate. He looks like crap for 3 ½ quarters giving Hodge hope, and then, somehow, wins the game. That has Hodge standing on the edge of a tall building somewhere wondering if life is worth living in a world where Tim Tebow can win pro football games.

And this. Recall when the Detroit Lions mocked Tebow? Since then the Broncos are 4-0, the Lions are 1-2 and their hyper-talented skuzzinglyy dirty nose tackle Ndamukong Suh will be suspended – for, what else, dirty play during the Loins’ loss to Green Bay - for some number of games.

Oh, Lex fouled up. First time since Jr High when I thought I was wrong but it turned out I was right. Big sis’ birthday is today. I gained a day somewhere. It must be global warming or cooling or change speeding up or slowing down the calendar here in Ft. Wayne. Anyway, the post under still pretty much sums up her day. We have one last chance to avoid the AL Vs LSU re-match, the SEC championship game. If LSU wins that game, invest heavily in No Doze. There will be a run on that product by halftime of the BCS game.

Avoiding an AL vs LSU re-match in the BCS

2011-11-23T08:31:00.002-05:00

Here’s the big news from last night’s debate: Newt wants to allow illegal aliens who entered this country 25 years ago; have children and grandchildren who are American citizens; have paid their taxes and are members of a local church to be made “legal” but NOT CITIZENS. He proposed a kind of local draft board to review things case by case.

That would sound reasonable were it not for the Demo-Dopes who would turn 25 years into 25 minutes, having children and grandchildren would become, having 17 kids by 15 different fathers all living on welfare; paid taxes would become, paid union dues; being members of a local church would become, being members of the Demo-Dope party.

People cannot stand Washington Pols because common sense is such an uncommon commodity. And if you want to know why that is, look two posts under.

But who cares about that? Thanksgiving is upon us. That means only one thing – big Sis’s birthday is nearby - Mon. To cook dinner this year, she will probably have to be coaxed out of the basement where she’s been hiding out since Alabama’s OT loss to an inferior LSU team. Family finances be damned, and never mind she won’t pay to put her own kids through college, she is running an ad on E-bay offering a full ride to Alabama for anyone who can consistently kick a 44 yard field goal.

Things got only slightly better after last weekend’s shake up of the BCS standings which put Alabama back in the #2 spot. Sadly, the depth of the MF Global scandal was just coming to light at the same time. After investing heavily in Bernie Madoff’s “can’t lose” investment strategy, she dumped the rest of the family fortune into something called MF Global. Run by a former NJ governor, it was “a sure thing.” Only it wasn’t, because it was run by a former NJ governor. Now the nation knows what the MF stands for.

Right after Thanksgiving dinner, she’ll be loading up her bucket of nickels and heading off to the MS casinos to try to scrape together enough cash for a nice Christmas this year. She’ll be easy to spot. Look for the gal, a bit long in the tooth, wearing an Alabama visor, elephant ear rings, one of those incredibly fashionable elephant trunks over her nose, an Alabama sweatshirt with “BAMA” on the front and a roll of toilet paper and an empty Tide detergent box duck taped to the back, Alabama PJ bottoms and elephant head slippers.

But the only thing likely to get her back to snapping her fingers to Neil Diamond’s “You are my love at last” is if there’s a re-match in the BCS Championship game between Alabama and LSU. Let’s see, AL vs. LSU…again. That means a football game that:

Has more punts than accurate passes.

Is so boring even soccer fans will be tuning in.

Will have fewer total yards by both teams combined at the end of the game than Stanford and Oregon average in their first possession.

Will have the nation trading in their beer cups for drool cups.

Will make Woody Hayes’s three yards in cloud of dust look like crazy, wildcat, flea flicker, trick plays, double reverse toss back to one tackle throwing a 60 yard strike to the other tackle who was an eligible receiver, wide open football.

If Alabama wins, will have LSU crying foul and demanding a best 2 out of 3 re-match.

If it's AL and LSU in the BCS, I suggest we skip the game and go straight to the overtime rules. That or the first touchdown wins. That would mean the longest game in history, maybe even perpetual football. In 2057, after an LSU defender's cane broke, AL 3rd string running back - old man Jones - "dashes" for the winning score, in a run that takes so long they have to use time lapsed photography on Sports Center to show it.

Our ONLY hope in avoiding this disaster is Arkansas beating LSU by 3 touchdowns. Well, there is ONE other possibility. The Iron Bowl is this weekend. But it’s sissy’s birthday so, for her sake and the sake of her family, we won’t even go there.

Happy birthday sis.

It's Romney because the MSM said so

2011-11-22T08:01:00.002-05:00

Conspiracy theory #9

The republican field is being vetted pretty thoroughly by the MSM who have yet to vet the Punk-in-Chief. As the flavor of the month rises to the top, the MSM take it upon themselves to put that flavor under a microscope and expose all of the nasties hiding in the mix. It makes no difference if the candidate is a relatively newbie like Herman Cain or an old hand like Newt Gingrich. No one, it seems, is safe from new and startling revelations about perceived short comings or ghastly faux pas, like using your own money to buy jewelry for your wife. Ahhhhghhh, the horror.

Newt has risen to the top. Right on schedule, here come the innuendos and decades old stories designed to bring Newt down and force Republicans into the safe choice – Romney. Why Romney? He’s been on top since this thing kicked off what seems like 10 years ago. Yet he hasn’t had much attention paid to him.

That’s rather odd, don’t you think? The man leading the Republican field is a hyper successful businessman, yet OWS isn’t dogging and disrupting his campaign. They did show up at a Newt event over the weekend though. Hmmm.

Here’s the conspiracy theory. The P-BO has directed his lemmings in the MSM that he wants to take on Romney and some other white male VP candidate - the older the better. Bob Dole would be perfect. The lemmings are out cutting everyone else but Romney – the front runner in the field - to shreds.

Bachman is too stupid and clueless. When you think about it, if that’s a disqualifier, it would also have to exclude the current occupant of 1600 PA Ave.

Cain is womanizing creep. That would seem to disqualify one Billy Billbo what’s the meaning of is, rape ain’t a crime if the victim’s name is “Juanita” Clinton.

Perry was slow on the draw at a couple of debates. That describes His Royal @$$holiness on any day the teleprompter doesn’t show up.

Even leading VP candidate Marco Rubio was slammed by the Wash. Compost for “embellishing his family story.” Hell no one in politics has ever done that before. Lied about inventing the Internet? Sure. Lying your @$$ off about being sent to Cambodia by a president who wasn’t even president at the time is actually a pretty common thing these days. Marco is a handsome Latino Republican who articulates the conservative philosophy as well as anyone, so the media has to try to crush him early on.

The bottom line is the media wants to pick the Republican candidate, and they are picking Romney. That gives me great pause, because I picked Romney as well. The media are picking Romney because the P-BO told them to. That order went out probably because the P-BO believes that, except for actually having a brain and accomplishing something in his life, Romney is the most like himself. I picked Romney because I’m of the opinion that the P-BO has gotten us so deep into trouble it is going to take someone of Romney’s business acumen and steady hand to lead us out of the darkness.

I happen to know that the second Romney clinches the nomination, there will be a flood of MSM BS about business deals Romney closed that cost single mothers their jobs that were then shipped off to China. The women were forced into prostitution and had to turn their kids over to child protective services who got them involved in a children’s program at Penn State. A sorrier tragedy there never was.

The OWS losers who will have ignored Romney for a year will show up by the hundreds at every campaign stop. Though he will have answered the question 10,000 times, he will be asked endlessly why Romneycare is different than P-BOcare. For his part, King Squadouche will conflate the 10th Amendment state’s rights argument with his own unconstitutional national mandate.

Oh, just thought of this. Call it Conspiracy Theory #10. The P-BO OKed the Supreme Court’s decision to take on P-BOcare so as to get his own BS law declared unconstitutional to take that issue off the table in 2012. Or he beats Romney with the 5-4 decision, saying it must be unconstitutional in MA as well.

That’s two conspiracy theories in one day. You just don’t get this stuff anywhere else.

Super Failure Committee doomed 40 years ago

2011-11-21T08:32:00.003-05:00

Map of gerrymandered LA Congressional District of 1990s

The Super Failure Committee is doomed to…well…fail. Not just because it’s loaded with super blowhards, liars, corruptocrats, and in Cambodian war hero, John Françoise Kerry’s case, a 100 gallon blister bag crammed full of 200 gallons of toxic BS coated in an aura of infallibility and scented with the all of arrogance of Middle East despot and the haughtiness of Lady gaga.

But as big an embarrassment as the Cambodian war hero is to himself, his party and family, the failure of the Super Committee was baked into the pie 40 years ago. The reason we’re tied in perpetual grid lock with minorities wielding enough power to force an unwanted, unmanageable and unconstitutional healthcare system down our throats is something called gerrymandering.

As most non-public school grads and the self educated know, gerrymandering is the creation of district lines that make no rational sense except to insure one party or the other controls the seat.

It flies in the face of rational thought and any method of survey known to mankind. As I recall from my Marine Corps days, American survey is based on one mile squares surveyed with iron chain; a one mile square equals a “section” of land; a 6 mile by 6 mile square plot equals a Township. Many of today’s country roads are laid out precisely along Township survey that has been carried forward for hundreds of years. When viewed from the air, they form perfect squares as far as you can see. So how do we go from this precise way of measuring and plotting, to the abomination of a congressional district above? One word - politics.

The funny thing is, that except for the most egregious cases, gerrymandering has been found to be legal. Until we adopt a policy of moving relatively straight lines to capture the requisite number of voters per district, we will have entrenched corrupt pols. Today’s pols are so safe that even Lincoln running against an incumbent like baboon @$$ ugly Maxine why yes I am a dumb@$$ to boot Waters wouldn’t stand a chance.

So the Super Failure Committee starts with half a dozen representatives who come from districts where they have better than a 90-10 chance of re-election. The Senate is only slightly better. It’s a bit harder to decipher why states go hard left or right. I think TX and MA might be good case studies with everyone else falling in between. TX = no income tax. MA = Taxachusetts. TX = gun totting oilmen. MA = blackberry toting “service sector” eggheads. TX = Stephen F. Austin, Sam Huston, Adm. Nimitz, Red Adair, Roger Staubach. Once you get past the founders who libs all hate and condemn MA = Madam Barney Frank, Cambodian war hero John Kerry, Teddy I only drown one gal not wife in my car Kennedy. This needs further study. For now, let’s just say that by their policies, the states are self gerrymandering.

So yeah, the thing is going to blow up, but we knew that 40 years ago.

Time to re-occupy the basement

2011-11-18T07:53:00.001-05:00

Mom! I guess I'll be coming home now. Can I get my room back? Did you clean it?

Well it would seem the dim wits who at first embraced the movement of misfits, anarchists, socialists and fascists called Occupy Wall Street have tired of stepping around piles of human waste left on the sidewalks by their heretofore imagined political allies. Even if their cause were just, few Americans would approve of crapping on and in everything in sight to make the point. We see that kind of behavior at the zoo. We choose not to embrace it on our city streets.

So the movement that once had favor in polls is now a political liability. So, savvy pols who read the polls and who were once buddies with and insisted the movement was model of free speech in America, are now using front end loaders and cops in riot gear to put a piece of figurative duck tape over the movement’s mouth.

It was never so much what was being said in the squallier of the OWS camps that so alarmed people. Americans are so used to hearing lunatic, undecipherable, un-American crap that we have formed an entire political party around those spewing it. It’s called the Democratic Party or on this page the Demo-Dope party. Although, saying you were going to fire bomb Macy’s, or wished that there were 911 more 9-11s seems a bit over the top even for the Dopes.

I think it was the scatter logical aims of the group along with the rapes, assaults, damage to private property and even the financial impact on cities and business that finally had the lame brained pols answering the wake up call. Michael Bloomberg is the perfect case in point. Stay as long as you like he insisted at first. Then as the OWS camp began to look and smell like a third world land fill, he said, let us in to clean it up for you. Sort of like mom cleaning a teenager’s room, after insisting for weeks it was up to jr. to get the job done. She finally gives in when the room becomes a threat to the family’s health and the smell can no longer be masked by a closed door and half a bottle of air freshener. In the case of NYC, the teenager gave mom the finger and told her to f%$k off. Bloomberg was OK with the rebuff.

Then the polls shifted and the American people had had enough. So Bloomberg did what any good pol standing upon a moral foundation of shifting sand would do, he called in the cops. He told the OWS morons it was for their own good. Sort of like mom calling dad in to get jr. by the ear, drag him on to the front lawn and hose him off all the while insisting, this is hurting me more than you son.

It is all the mayors’ of these cities fault that this crap (literally) piled up and went on for so long. Had they just enforced the city’s laws from day one, all of the rape and squallier could have been avoided, not to mention millions in clean up costs and police overtime required to monitor the morons. You can bet if a Boy Scout troop had tried to set up on city property without a permit and paying the appropriate fee, they’d be yanked out of there at sundown. But they’d never do that to begin with. So the mayor doesn’t have to worry. It’s only a Lib crowd that complains about the lawlessness of Wall St. or the man, or the war, or free education, free drugs, free housing, free food, free electricity, environmentally conscious crowd that creates it own environmental toxic waste hazard that it calls a “camp” that is allowed themselves to be lawless. The mayors were OK with it until it became a political liability.

I’m pretty sure King Douche and his side kick Queen Grand Fran had nice words for the OWS crowd in the beginning. I have not heard much from them lately. They certainly should have some of the blame for the mess that their Demo-Dope base has created placed on their narrow boney shoulders - his indistinguishable from hers.

So now the crowds are being dispersed sent to reoccupy mom’s basement or a city jail cell. They will re-emerge in the spring when the weather warms, because these are true fair weather patriots. I wonder if the cities learned anything from this mess?

Lex’s take on the Super Catastrophe uh, Committee

2011-11-17T08:48:00.001-05:00

First off, anything that includes Cambodian war hero John Françoise Kerry should not be a “super” anything that isn’t followed by a pejorative; as in Super Windbag, D-bag, SFB, Ego Maniacal Turd Biscuit, etc., etc. Next, the P-BO will absolutely crap his drawers, as if he were caught by Moochel scarfing down a Big Mac and fries, if the Super Losers accomplish anything. His favorite meme – this do nothing congress - will be gone if they do. His constant whining - “Oh woe is me, I’m trying to do so much for you little people but you, you lazy, soft, cowardly, bitter clingers, will not cooperate. You cannot appreciate my affirmative action passed through life intellect. You are not worthy of my greatness. You all disappoint me so. I’m off to the Lower Nambian Peninsula to bow down at the feet of their great tribal leader Big Chief Whatthephook, and play a dozen rounds of golf.” - will have to end.

Next, whatever they accomplish, if they accomplish anything, relative to our true financial problems, it will be like taking a thimble of water out of the great Pacific Ocean or a bucket of sand out of the Sahara. It will be totally meaningless.

The entire federal system of entitlements and taxes needs to be on the table. We are 15 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT!!!! Nibbling at the margins accomplishes nothing. Yet, these windbags can’t even accomplish that.

We need a flatter, fairer tax system where EVERYONE has skin in the game. So that when SFB Demo-Dopes want to raise taxes, Republicans can say- well you can’t raise taxes. You’ll hurt the poor. Right now 46% of us have ZERO skin in the game. So sure raise taxes. Why would they care? They pay ZERO anyway. I don’t care if it’s one half of one percent, everyone should be paying something. Then when taxes go up, they MUST go up across the board.

Entitlements MUST be addressed.

Military Retirement can not be drawn until age 60, unless medically retired.

Social Security cannot be drawn until age 70. You can retire at age 65, but you will need to cover the first five years of retirement on your own.

Medicare/aid need to be means tested and co-pays adjusted in accordance with one’s ability to support himself.

Waste needs to be slashed. Start with the post office. Hire private carriers. Close and consolidate branches. Sell equipment to the private carriers. Get someone to run the thing who understands that the Post Office is rapidly becoming the 21st century’s buggy whip. The Post Office needs someone who can carefully and skillfully shut the thing down.

Pay the UN for the right to have seat in the building of the world’s most dysfunctional organization and not one dime more. Charge rent for the prime real estate they occupy. Tow and ticket “diplomats'” cars that are double parked outside the strip club all night. Dump them in the East River if the fines are not paid within 7 days.

Stop subsidizing NPR, PBS.

Stop borrowing money from China so that we can send grant money back to China to study Chinese prostitution.

But the gutless, led by the weak, who are following the timid in search of hole to stick thier collective heads into, will never arrive at a solution that will move us any closer to solving this problem. Which brings me back to the “big thing,” the P-BO doesn’t want anything accomplished. He’ll get what he wants, because…well look at the picture.

"Unaware" Clouseau/Chu argues against government involvement

2011-11-16T08:34:00.001-05:00

The P-BO’s energy secretary unwittingly makes the perfect case why government dopes shouldn’t be investing tax payer money in the markets. After all the evidence to the contrary, Steven Chu still insists that the P-BO’s boys did their due diligence before chucking half a billion dollars down the Solyndra crapper. Chu said:

We were very thorough in the application of loan at the time. In the end of 2008, the beginning of 2009, we asked outside people to give us second and third opinions. What was unanticipated was that the market for the prices of solar modules really plummeted.

Yeah, really, who knew markets could plummet? Markets don't plummet, ever, but especially when the US government is nearly 15 trillion dollars in debt, and there is clueless buffoon in the WH. You couldn’t seriously expect them to see that one coming. Who knew the Chinese would be using prison labor to make solar panels at one half the cost Solyndra could produce them? You just can’t expect government bureaucrats to think that the Chinese would ever cheat to give themselves an advantage.

When asked about audits that indicated that Solyndra was on its financial death bed, Chu shrugged.

I was not aware of the audit instantly at that time, became aware of it later. And so what has happened during this period is we have a very good loan people, and they tried to, you know, what are the best projections, going forward, and how do you monitor progress of the loan? Certainly, any new company in the process of constructing a new factory that would be more efficient, more highly roboticized to be competitive would be burning through cash.

Perfect! He didn’t know. A company is “burning through cash” (aka your tax dollars) to build a gazzillion dollar plant to produce solar panels at twice the cost the Chinese are making them for in a warehouse with a dirt floor, and dip$h!t “was not aware” there were problems. And yet, he maintains that they did their due diligence before crapping your money away.

Idunno, doesn’t make sense to me. How can you say you did your due diligence when you’re down half a bill? How can you say you did what was required to protect the tax payer dollars when those dollars are gone, and there is exactly ZERO to show that the money ever existed? How about a bit of honesty? Hey Steve, take a line from NY Jets Head Coach, Rex Ryan, “That was dumbest f&^king move ever.”

How about an econ 101 line of questions:

Q: How much does the industry charge for panels?

A: $3.

Q: How much will you charge?

A: $6.

Get out, and don’t come back until you can get cost per panel down to $2.50

There is more “due diligence” in those two questions than 3 years of Steve Chu’s Inspector Clouseau like vetting of the Solyndra deal.

This was all political. If it turned out, great. If not, well so sad too bad. Luckily, it wasn’t our money. When asked about the politics of the BS loan, Chu amazingly said:

I was not aware and certainly no decision we made in the loan program had anything to do with who is investing in this company. There were people like George Kaiser, who have been associated with the Democratic Party…But certainly, at my level and the people I was talking to, we were not aware of either the Democrat or Republican backers.

So once again Clouseau/Chu was “not aware.” It must have been in March. He was busy getting his NCAA basketball bracket together. Ahh, but he was aware of Kaiser. But not aware of backers who happened to be Demo-Dope or Republican - except for Kaiser who was a big Demo-Dope supporter.

What Chu should have admitted is that government – especially this current bunch of nit wits – has no business using tax dollars to pick winners and losers. And ask yourself this, would this bunch of brain dead numbskulls ever have considered a loan to promote clean energy that actually works like coal, oil fracking or nuclear power? In a world - NO! Two words for emphasis – Hell NO!

Steven Clouseau/Chue admits he is “unaware” (aka: asleep at the wheel, derelict of his duty, incompetent etc.) of the embarrassing details of the Solyndra loan. Yet he, like the @$$bag who hired him, won a Nobel Prize. Add AlGore to the mix, and it’s proof positive that you are better off asking for advise from your barber or the guy who pumps your septic tank than anyone who has ever visited Sweden to pick up a prize.

Giving Newt a second look

2011-11-15T08:15:00.000-05:00

AF Bro sent this link to a Newt speech titled “Victory or Death” given before the Rep “shellacking” of the P-BO’s boys in 2010. It’s in 5 parts, and each runs over 8minutes. Find the time to view them all. If you can only sit for one, go to the last.

I’d written Newt off early on, on a couple of accounts. First, he stumbled out of the block by trashing Paul Ryan's budget plan. Next, was his ability to win the Rep nomination let alone the general election. I didn’t think a twice divorced, three times married guy who sat on a couch with Grand Fran Peloser to hector us about global cooling/warming/climate change or staying the same could win. After the Tony the shlong Weiner seat went Republican, I thought, heck my dog George could beat the P-BO.

Then there was the money issue. The P-BO will raise a billion dollars for the 2012 cycle. I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating. The P-BO needed 700 million in the last cycle because nobody knew who he was. He’ll need a billion in the 2012 because everyone knows who he is. Can Newt compete? No. But Newt has devised a brilliant scheme that will place the P-BO in a serious dilemma. Newt has said he will challenge the P-BO to 7 Lincoln - Douglass type debates of three hours each with no moderator, only a time keeper.

Hey easy, the P-BO will just decline. He’s too busy. After all, he’s the president. Well he’s had time for 72 rounds of golf. And Newt has said, if the P-BO declines his offer, Newt will just follow the P-BO around the country showing up everywhere the P-BO does four hours later. I don’t think the P-BO can stand toe to toe with Newt, or anyone else for that matter, in a debate that isn’t controlled by a P-BO lemming in the MSM. The 7 three hour debates will easily off set any cash advantage the P-BO has over Newt.

This five part speech is a compelling case for Newt. Waging the campaign around big ideas that break 70 – 40 in your favor is a pretty solid campaign strategy. I love the idea of abolishing the 9th circuit court. That’s a big idea.

We knew we were all soft bitter clingers, but lazy as well?

2011-11-14T07:55:00.001-05:00

We’ve been a little bit lazy over the last couple of decades. We’ve kind of taken for granted — ‘Well, people would want to come here’ — and we aren’t out there hungry, selling America and trying to attract new businesses into America.

Who said that? Some hard working guy who has been up with cows and out with owls working his butt off for the last 30 years? No. Then some smart guy who has made a ton of money with his imagination, savvy and creativity? No. No, actually that statement was uttered by an affirmative action pass through who has never had a steady private sector job in his entire life – the P-BO.

Calling us lazy comes from a guy who as President of the United States has played 72 rounds of golf. At 5 hours each (given his reported inability to hit a golf ball any better than he throws a baseball maybe 10 hours) totaling, ahh, lemmesee, 5 times 7 is 30 something plus another 10 or so, that’s 40, no wait, gotta start from the right. 10 carry the 1, 5X7=35 plus the one equals 360 hours of golf. If you divide that by 40, the number of hours in our typically lazy work week, that’s 9 weeks of golf. And that time off doesn’t include all of the 10 day “working vacations” that roll around every other month.

Now according to our dumb@$$ in chief, Americans are bitter clingers that have gotten soft, lazy, and are about as exceptional as Greece on any given day. Which is still better than what this know nothing’s Attorney General said about America when that d-bag called us a nation of cowards. I think this skinny, jug eared sock of crap was wide awake for 20 years, front and center in Rev? Jerry Wright’s church of Let’s All Hate America Now. He learned his lessons well from his mentor.

Debates
There was another Republican debate on Saturday night. Change the day of the week, and it seems that line could be used twice a week from now until next September. I didn’t watch it. I was in a deep depression after drinking two cases of beer and a fifth of bourbon before starting to drink heavily after The OSU’s OT loss to Purdue. ASIDE: You’d think at a university of 52,000 under grads you’d be able to find 9 fat guys to stand in front of 9 other fat guys and “block” them for the 1.2 seconds it takes to allow the game winning point after touchdown. You’d be wrong.

Anyhoo, Newt is on the rise. Watch this slam dunk beeautch slapping of Scott Pelly who, given his willingness to “debate” Newt during his question, is apparently is running for president. That’s big news.

Penn State
I did see a bit of the Penn State game against NE. I tired very quickly of the Penn St. crowd, the players, the announcers and it seemed everyone else acting as if Penn St. were some how a victim. Tears shed for Joe Pa and Penn St. football are misplaced. The more you read about what was going on at that university, the more you know that Joe Pa and the entire university leadership were enabling Jerry Sandusky. That includes the interim head coach, who knew about the allegations. No, hell no, they all didn’t have to resign in disgust, but that would have been nice. At a minimum, how about a, “Hey, Joe Pa, Sandusky goes, or I go.” At least get the slug out of the locker room for crying out loud.

I said it before, I’ll say now, the university needs to be figuratively bulldozed. Everyone who knew or should have known needs to be sent packing. And what's the NCAA going to have to say about this? It's OK to knowingly allow child molesters in the locker room, but if you sell a game jersey that belongs to you, you get a 5 game suspension. Sumpins' up-side-down there.

College football has been headed for ruin for 25 years

2011-11-11T08:22:00.000-05:00

If college football under goes some major changes in the near future, don’t blame Joe Paterno, Penn State or even the slug - Jerry Sandusky. As tv contracts grew, stadiums got bigger and coaches salaries have out stripped university president’s by 10-20 times, College football has been getting more and more unmanageable.

At this point, at least at the Division 1-A level, I don’t even know why football teams are associated with universities. A large percentage of players are recruited outside what could reasonably considered the university’s sphere of influence. A large percentage of players don’t graduate. Yet, the university will heap great rewards on young men for pitching a “bag of wind” around for 3 hours on Saturday.

TV money is what the universities are chasing, plain and simple. In order to get that money the team has be good enough to play in a national broadcast in primetime and get to a BCS bowl game. If they are that good, tens of millions of dollars roll into a university. Add to all that a different weekly uniform set ups for the team that can be hawked to alumni for 100 times what they cost the university 10 minutes after the game.

So the university goes out and hires a coach for 5 million, plus tv endorsements and a bonus for winning 6 games that gets a team “bowl eligible”, and bonus for a BCS appearance, and a bonus for winning the bowl game, and these big time coaches may be pulling down 8 figures.

So these big time coaches go out a scour the landscape looking for talent to bring to the university, not for its mathematics program, but rather to pitch the pigskin around. If he does it well enough, he wins games and makes a ton of money. But the university makes tons and tons and tons of money. So it’s a worthwhile endeavor all around.

And many of the kids recruited to play couldn’t care less about university outside the ability of it getting them noticed for how far they can throw a pig’s bladder. They live in separate dorms, eat in separate facilities, attend classes only between 1:30 and 4:00 in the afternoon and are given tutors to help them keep up with their arduous schedule of toenail clipping 101, PE 780 and Finger Art 230. Then as soon as their eligibility runs out, a large percentage are gone. As a result we end up with the Cam Newtons, Maurice Clarets and host of others selling their wares to the highest bidder. That doesn't mean these young are not loyal to the team. Many are, just not the university.

And just an aside, at least two great stadiums were ruined in pursuit of putting a few more butt cheeks in seats at $40-$70 a spot. The house that Knute built at Notre Dame was rebuilt and in the process ruined by greedy trustees trying to gouge a bit more money out of the system. History and tradition be damned. They needed the money. The Horseshoe at The Ohio State University was a unique and classic building. Now after $105 million in “improvements” it looks like crap. And who benefited from all of the add ons? Was the university looking to cram more students in at $20 a head? Hell no. The new capacity all went to high rollers outside the student body.

And keeps going. A lot people are PO’d at the BCS process. They want a playoff. So do all of the sports commentators, as well as the idiot in the Oval Office. Why? Well it means more money for the networks. And the schools think, well, if we can just get Nick Saben away from AL we can compete for that money, and the cycle repeats.

There is so much money involved with so little control, it has to be corrupt. And that is what happened at Penn State, in my opinion. Sandusky could not be dealt with straight up because it would hurt the university in recruiting which would cause a slide in performance which would mean a loss of dollars. It’s that simple. It appeared to be a better, cheaper option to cover the scandal up than to deal with it.

Well, it isn’t any more. But college football has been rolling down a track, accelerating every year, to its own ruin for 25 years. Jerry Sandusky is just the latest most pitiful example of a system that is out of control.

Happy Birthday Jarheads!

2011-11-10T08:30:00.000-05:00

Where to start. Oh yeah, Nov 10th the Marine Corps birthday. Not so keyed up this year for a couple of reasons. First, the state of the nation doesn’t seem to lend itself to celebration today. Next is our Commandant, General James Amos – a Naval Aviator. What’s next a supply guy?

For me, he’s a windsock ready to go with the flow no matter where it takes him or our beloved Corps. You recall the pre-cooked debate about allowing gays to serve openly in military. There was no debate. At the time Gen. Amos said that he opposed the P-BO’s effort to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

He said:

"Mistakes and inattention or distractions cost Marines lives. That's the currency of this fight. I don't want to lose any Marines to the distraction.

"I don't want to have any Marines that I'm visiting at Bethesda with no legs be the result of any type of distraction."

Then as the wind changed direction and gained velocity with pressure on Amos to get in line or resign, the windsock simply changed direction. Now he’s all for it and went to the extreme to say that not only was he onboard but he and the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps would lead the way.

Dare I say that it’s leadership like that, that will lead to Marines with no legs in Bethesda. I’m not here to re-debate the issue, but for God’s sake man, how do you go from “Marines will be killed and maimed by this policy” to “I’m going to lead the way in its implementation”? This didn’t occur after years of deliberation, it was after a couple of days.

That’s not leadership. That’s windsocketry. That’s how our forces wind up in un-winnable messes like Vietnam. No one, that’s right - it’s not “too few” - it is NO ONE in the general class seems capable of stumbling upon an issue that is worth resigning over – ever. Fight the war in a half assed manner? Yes sir. At your service sir. Whatever your desire sir.

So happy Birthday Marines. I’m still celebrating the good old Corps tonight and will no matter what.

Next
Penn State took the necessary steps to BEGIN cleaning house. The university president and Joe Paterno were fired last night. That just about sums it up. No one knows the university president’s name but everyone knows the football coach.

There is a scene in Forrest Gump where Forrest has the childhood home of his wife bulldozed. It is alluded to earlier in the film that his wife was a victim of incest in the home. That is what needs to happen at Penn State. It needs to be figuratively bulldozed to the ground.

The trustees made a courageous and bold decision last night. Students took to the campus and rioted. I suppose they were rioting in support of covering up pedophilia. Idiots. Gen. Amos came out in support of Paterno, then changed his mind and said he had to go, then was out turning over cars on campus last night because the coach was fired. We’ll have to wait and see where he stands on the issue for this half hour.

Had bishops, cardinals and Rome had the courage to do what the Penn State trustees did last night, as quickly as they did it, the Catholic Church wouldn’t be the butt of 10,000 pedophile jokes that it so richly deserves.

Last
Rick Perry!? I only have three things to say, absolutely unbelievable, embarrassing and…uh… what the hell was the third?

Wazzzzz up

2011-11-09T08:07:00.001-05:00

What happened in OH yesterday?
Alexander Tytler was some Scottish lawyer who held a cynical view of democracy, especially representative republics such as our own. He was the guy who famously noted that democracy, “can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury.” Oddly it was an overwhelming majority in OH that voted to heap largess out of the public treasury onto public sector union employees.

I don’t know how such things happen. This seems too easy to defend. It had to be mismanaged from the top. A tv ad noting that Demo-Dope icon FDR opposed collective bargaining for public sector unions would have helped. FDR wrote:

All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters.

How hard would that have been? If that’s too technical, consider the Chris Christie approach. When public sector unions say they are going to fight for their members, who are they fighting against? It's the public.

As I understand the argument, public sector unions are supporting a system that will ensure firemen, police and teachers will be making far more than the state’s household median income of about $45K. How can that be sustained? Why should it be sustained?

The last gambit I might have tried in this argument would have been to tie public sector compensation to the military pay scale plus an area cost of living. It would be hard for any public union employee to claim that they have a tougher or more dangerous job than a Lance Corporal in Fallujah.

This was botched from the top. But hey, I’m sure they had their own effective ads stating that no matter what, Republicans are not as bad as the Demo-Dopes claim.

But the Dopes cannot take a victory lap, because OH voters did have the sense reject any healthcare mandates i.e P-BOcare.

The daily drip
Herman Cain read Lex yesterday, took his advice and volunteered to take a lie detector. And as we learn more about the accusers, they are, shall we say, suspect. The sad part of this that, even if these charges are totally false, it’s hard to see how Herman regains his mojo. Mission accomplished.

Anti-science
The Lib meme is that religious people are anti-science. Not hardly. The Vatican will team with a bio research company to promote the use of adult stem cells to treat disease. How can that be?

Calling it what it is
WI Gov. for now, Scott Walker, has infuriated the perpetually infuriated by calling the state Christmas tree of all things, a Christmas tree. Oh the horror. What's next calling a spade a spade? Apparently the ultra sensitive prefer "holiday tree." As always my response is, “holiday?” What holiday is it?

Sue 'em and the last good guy falls

2011-11-08T08:46:00.000-05:00

Another day another accuser. This time we finally have a face and specific allegations. Here’s what you do Herman. Be bold. Sue her and challenge her to take a lie detector test. That should pretty much settle the argument.

I’m not sure what the point of all this is. 10 year old accusation comes out just as Cain begins to gain traction in the polls. Why wouldn’t have all these cockroaches come out when Cain announced? And Gloria Allred? Who is paying her?

That’s it on Cain for now. Tomorrow we’ll deal with the new accuser.

Sports, the last bastion to escape the daily trials of life, or at least it was. Every time you invest in a team or athlete, it seems they let you down. Tiger Woods: a golf phenomena or just a lying sack of crap? The latter. Jim Tressel: clean cut all-American coach or lying sack of crap? The latter. Joe Paterno: legendary coach who could always be counted upon to put principle ahead of winning or lying sack of crap? Sadly, the latter.

Some creepy assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, it seems was using the Penn State locker as a sex play ground with young boys. According to a report, a graduate assistant told Paterno in 2002 that he had seen a naked Sandusky sexually assaulting a 10-year-old in the showers.

So well geez, that’s only, what, 9 measly years ago. Let’s let the system work. After all these things take time, right Joe? To his credit, Paterno reported this to his bosses and then ignored it for the last 9 YEARS! Ignored, may be too strong but it's unclear whether he did anything else. He didn’t call the cops. And for some inexplicable reason Sandusky still had access to the Penn State facilities.

OK innocent until proven guilty. But for that to happen, you have to report the crime Joe. And you couldn’t say to your old buddy Jerry, “Hey, Jerry, until this gets cleared up, I don’t want you hanging around my locker room.” Come on man! That would be the absolute minimum, you’d think.

In a statement Joe Pa said:

If true, the nature and amount of charges made are very shocking to me and all Penn Staters. While I did what I was supposed to with the one charge brought to my attention, like anyone else involved I can’t help but be deeply saddened these matters are alleged to have occurred.

Huh? YGBSM. Charges are shocking? They may have been shocking in 2002, but you cannot seriously expect anyone to believe that you’re shocked now after what you learned in 2002. That’s like finding a baggie of dope in your son’s drawer and doing nothing about it. Then 9 years later, you act as if you’re shocked when he’s arrested for possession of drugs.

Joe Pa went on to say:

As my grand jury testimony stated, I was informed in 2002 by an assistant coach that he had witnessed an incident in the shower of our locker room facility. It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the Grand Jury report.

Yeah, and you sure as hell didn’t want to know, did you Joe? Why ask any penetrating questions that would get to the butt of the situation? I know. That was shameless. Sorry Joe, the whole state of PA may give you pass on this, but no one else will.

And can I just point out the obvious. It is unlikely that Sandusky stumbled upon his preference for young boys only after retiring from Penn State. How many kids’ lives was this creep wrecking while he was under your direct supervision Joe? How many recruiting trips did the university pay for this creep to recruit shower partners instead of football players?

The ONLY good news in this is that, suddenly, for Jim Tressel and The Ohio State University, selling your own property to a tattoo parlor doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.

The end of the Cain lynching

2011-11-07T07:49:00.000-05:00

Lemmesee, there were unspecified charges of sexual harassment, strangely “not of a sexual nature”, made by anonyms sources against Herman Cain. The MSM response was that Herman Cain needed to answer the charges. First off, what charges? Does anyone to this day know what the charges are? Anyhoo, Cain did answer the charges. He said he never sexually harassed anyone in his life. Charge answered, right? Wrong.

Not good enough. The woman was bound by a confidentiality agreement, so I guess it was up to Cain to speak for her and then defend himself. Cain’s answer was he never sexually harassed anyone in his life. Not good enough. After all these are serious charges. So the gal’s lawyer asked that his client be released from the confidentiality agreement. She was. She still refuses to talk.

So there is nothing left but for the MSM loons to go after Cain. His response is that he never sexually harassed anyone in his life. Damn him!

Now much is being made of the way Cain handled the non-scandal. Sure he survived the week, but his response to a scandal he’d known about for 12 years was somehow troubling. After all, is stating over and over that you never sexually harassed anyone in your life really even a strategy against charges of sexual harassment?

Now the media are certain that Cain just got lucky. Sort of like wasting two trump cards on tricks that your partner already had and somehow still winning the hand. If he can’t handle this, he’s just not skilled enough to win the nomination, is the new mantra.

Well here’s what they might be missing. Maybe if you just tell the truth, you don’t need a “strategy.” Maybe the truth is some sort of super trump card that cancels everything else out. Maybe the fact that he says he never sexually harassed anyone in his life, absent any proof that did, is still good enough for fair minded people.

In one way, I’m sort of glad this came out this early. It sort of inoculates Cain and even other candidates from this type of unsupported character assignation by the media. The human detritus that makes up 99% of the MSM are PO’d that this didn’t work. You can see them sitting around the “news desks” and editorial tables all across America asking each other WTF (win the future)? We had him. We made the charges. And all he had was that he never sexually harassed anyone in his life. Now after 1,000s of stories, he’s a hero, bringing in tens of thousands of dollars every day, and we’re looking like hatchet men for the Demo-Dope party. Damn it!

But like a little kid who wants to stop at McDonald’s, he doesn’t stop asking just because dad said no; then, hell no; then, be quiet; then, if you ask again, we’re never ever going to McDonald’s as long as I live. After investing so much, they just can’t let it go.

Last bit on this. The MSM who broke and perpetuated this story with out so much as single shred of evidence are what most of us hate about these jackasses. Hey they had the allegation. No, they didn’t. To have an allegation it would seem to me, that before you try destroy a person’s presidential campaign, you would have to put a name and face to that allegation.

If that crap can count as journalism, then I have half a dozen anonyms drug dealers who say, because the P-BO never had a job in life, he paid for his crack cocaine habit with oral sex. Well how else would he afford the drug habit he admits? Now he has to spend the next week answering the charge. Funny thing is he can’t say, “I never had a drug habit in my life.” He’ll need a strategy to handle these charges.

Cain and sock puppetry

2011-11-04T08:17:00.000-04:00

I’ve been busy, too busy to pay too much attention to this Herman Cain story that has gone on for, what, six months now. I see where conservatives are P-O’d that Herman is getting much rougher treatment than Billy Boy Clinton during his series of sexual harassments, assaults and rape.

Well duh, did we expect something different? With Clinton you had real women coming forward with real and specific allegations. With Cain, no one has come forward yet and for the life of me as hard as try to find out, I can’t find one bit of information on what it is he’s supposed to have done.

So yeah, when Paula Jones holds a press conference and accuses the President of the United States of exposing himself to her and demanding oral sex, you’d expect just one story on the nightly news. But when Kathleen Willy accuses the President of the United States of groping her in the oral, oops, Oval Office, then the media get right on it and run a whopping 3 stories in two days. And when Juanita Broaddrick accused the President of the United States of raping her, well that’s when the press really got after it, running another 3 stories over two days.

But hey, really, is there any news there? You have the woman’s name and specific allegation, there’s nothing left. With Herman Cain we have no women and no specific accusations. Now there’s news. It’s a perfect set up for the 24/7 news cycle. Endless guests can be paraded in to speculate on what happened. And now we’re three or four days in and still nobody knows who is alleging what. Yet we have over 50 MSM reports of what might have happened.

My first read was that some woman was complaining of overt gestures, not of a sexual nature, that made her uncomfortable. That could include about anything from scratching an itch to turn the temperature up in the office. And we all know the second you become uncomfortable, that is sexual harassment. Why just the other day, I was being sexually harassed by a strong, damp wind out of the north. Heck yeah it was sexual harassment, after all, it made me uncomfortable.

And then there’s this from the, is anyone surprised, file:

A few years ago, Joe Therrien, a graduate of the NYC Teaching Fellows program, was working as a full-time drama teacher at a public elementary school in New York City. Frustrated by huge class sizes, sparse resources and a disorganized bureaucracy, he set off to the University of Connecticut to get an MFA in his passion—puppetry. Three years and $35,000 in student loans later, he emerged with degree in hand, and because puppeteers aren’t exactly in high demand, he went looking for work at his old school. The intervening years had been brutal to the city’s school budgets—down about 14 percent on average since 2007. A virtual hiring freeze has been in place since 2009 in most subject areas, arts included, and spending on art supplies in elementary schools crashed by 73 percent between 2006 and 2009. So even though Joe’s old principal was excited to have him back, she just couldn’t afford to hire a new full-time teacher. Instead, he’s working at his old school as a full-time “substitute”; he writes his own curriculum, holds regular classes and does everything a normal teacher does. “But sub pay is about 50 percent of a full-time salaried position,” he says, “so I’m working for half as much as I did four years ago, before grad school, and I don’t have health insurance…. It’s the best-paying job I could find.”

That’s it Joe? You’re kidding! YGBSM. 35K down the crapper on a degree in puppetry and full time sub gig is the best you can do? Oh the humanity! Or would it be humanities in this case? If a degree in puppetry means nothing any more, the American dream is truly dead. "The best job" you could find? Moron! You're lucky to have any job. Who hires idiots? Oh yeah, the schools to be teachers.

Hey Joe! Try this. I recall a Cub Scout activity on “Showmanship” when the boys had to make puppets and do a show. It was funny as heck. Not because it was funny like “Seinfeld”, but the things that a boy will say when hiding behind the back of a couch and talking through a sock puppet are really hilarious. They probably learned as much in an afternoon of fun as Joe did in 3 years, and it didn’t cost 35K.

Rubio, Cain attacks part of Demo-Dope electoral strategy

2011-11-03T08:16:00.001-04:00

Conspiracy theory #8

OK, I’ve got this figured out. Herman Cain and Marco Rubio are linked. Sure a Cain Rubio ticket would be fine, but that is not what I’m talking about. Anyone find it strange that the Washington Post does a series of negative stories on Rubio just as he is being mentioned by just about everyone as the odds on favorite for the VP slot no matter who wins the nomination?

P-BO, the great uniter, said this about Hispanics before the last election:

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re going to punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”

Then there was the Scrawny One Harry this war is lost Reid wondering aloud, “how anyone of Hispanic decent could be a Republican.” Yes I know Harry. I’ve often wondered myself how anyone with a brain could be a Demo-Dope. Happily, so few Demo-Dopes do have brains that it’s pretty much a moot point. Then as Rubio’s stock rises the comPost comes out with its hit piece.

Now, just as Herman Cain gains traction and takes over the lead in the Republican field, anonymous sources begin coming out of the wood work with unsubstantiated charges of sexual harassment. And as always with Demo-Dopes, it makes no difference what-so-ever whether or not the charge is true, what’s important is that a charge is made.

Pulling a couple of Dope quotes to support the Rubio part of this theory was easy enough but with Herman Cain you have so much material, you really are forced to cull the field for best ones.

Demo-Dope hit man and super hyper genius Harry Belafonte said this about Cain:

Day-O, Dayyyyyyy-O, Cain is a “bad apple” Day-O, Dayyyy-O, he has no authority to talk about “the pride of people of color” daylight come and I wanna go home.

The female equivalent of Belafonte, Janeane Gawdawfullo floated the double secret racists theory that went like this: Republicans can’t stand the current occupant in the WH because he’s black. So they are supporting a black guy in their primary so they can get the current half-black guy out and replace him with…uh, er...another all-black guy? Yeah, that makes sense. Totally. We may have a winner here. Let's compare. Where's that Slow Joe quote about spending money to keep from going bankrupt?

Then there’s Princeton professor Cornel West. Yes mom and dad send your kid for an Ivy League education and have them exposed to this nit wit at about $10,000 a minute. You could save a lot of money, and the kid would learn as much, if you just sent them off to clown school. West said Cain should “get off the symbolic crack pipe and acknowledge the evidence is overwhelming.” Evidence of what? Well apparently West ain’t buying in to Herman’s unspeakable crime of stating that America is still the best place in the world for people to get ahead by the sweat of their own brow. For West, America is still mired in a 1960s no make it 1860s style racism.

There are about ten more of these for Herman but we need to press on to the big close, which is:

Back in April, Dr. Walter Williams (the best Rush Limbaugh fill in host ever) or someone saying they were Dr. Williams, penned an article that the P-BO will win re-election “no matter what.” He bases that opinion on the fact that minorities, women, union thugs, college kids, the MSM, anyone getting a government hand out, etc. will turn out overwhelmingly and vote for the P-BO. Based on those demographics, there is no way for a Republican to win. Unless that is, there’s a Cain or a Rubio on the ticket to fracture the vote of one of those key constituencies.

The Dopes know that the only way for numbskull and D-bag to win is, not with a vision of a better America, but rather to divide Americans along racial and social economic lines. A Rubio or Cain on the Republican ticket shatters their paper thin electoral strategy. The same goes for a woman. Look at what they did to Palin and Bachmann.

Anyone who fractures the coalition must be taken out, plain and simple. And that Mr. & Mrs. America is what this is all about.

Another day, another Greek bail out

2011-11-02T08:36:00.001-04:00

Sometime back in late spring, the markets went wild on the news that the Germans had agreed to bail out Greece. At the time, Lex opined that the Greeks would need another bail out by summer’s end. Well to be honest I don’t know if the Greeks made it to the end of summer or not. They have pretty much been in the news everyday. For a casual observer, I’m not sure if “trouble in the Euro zone” equals trouble caused by the Greeks or not. But we know whatever was done in the spring didn’t work.

Now we’re talking bail out again. It’s like Lindsey Lohan’s 5th or 6th visit to rehab. You hope it works this time. It’s like Mickey Rooney’s 7th or 8th marriage. You hope it works this time. It’s like the Cubs’ 104th run at a World Series title. You hope they make it this time. It’s like the P-BO telling the truth for once, as in, “Hell no I’m not qualified to be president. I never was.” But in each case you know deep down that it won’t work and ain’t happinin’.

Until the Greek nanny state can be deconstructed, it useless to pour more money down that sink hole. It’s like trying to patch the gash in the side of the Titanic with a quart can of Bondo. It isn’t going to work, and everyone knows it. It’s like trying to reduce your deficit by spending more money. No wait. That’s what we’re doing. And according to the Slowest of all Joes:

“We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation. Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’ The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.”

And that Mr. & Mrs. America is $h!t you cannot make up. If you sat down for six months with team of comic geniuses and tried to construct a dumber line of reasoning for Homer Simpson, it would be impossible to do so. This is close:

Yes Marge, that is what I'm telling you. I have to go down to Moe's and drink more beer so that I can stop drinking.

Somehow, it almost sounds reasonable coming from Homer. Yet this Biden doof, this monument to idiocy, is not a yellow cartoon character. He's one heart beat away from the presidency. Pray, pray brothers and sisters for the safety of the P-BO.

I can tell you this. The overwhelming anecdotal evidence from my travels in Europe is that very few waiters, waitresses, bar tenders, travel guides etc. wanted or support the Euro monetary system. The former communist in eastern Germany were the exception. Almost to a man or woman they detested the money and European Union. So how did it end up getting foisted upon them? Well how did we get P-BO care? Take another look at the picture at the top of the post.

That’s how this stuff happens. It's all pre-cooked.

Can Cain turn this positive?

2011-11-01T08:30:00.000-04:00

Uh oh, Herman Cain is in trouble. The sort of thing that is a resume enhancer for Demo-Dope candidates is death for conservatives. For some odd reason, Billy boy Clinton can grope, gape, ogle, expose himself, harass and even rape women and remain a hero of the left in general and the Lib women in particular.

Why? Well one Lib indicated that she’d give the letch a Lewinsky just for keeping abortion legal. He probably has since taken her up on her offer. One wonders if she then allowed the louse to smack her around a bit. Should we mark her down as one of those “women who love too much”? Ha! Mark her down as an idiot willing to be used.

Very odd that as Herman rises in the polls these allegation come out. Who could have done it? Well who has the most to gain? Romney might have leaked the info. Sure, he could have, but he didn’t. It’s way too early for Romney to take that risk. He has met all challengers, watched them sore in polls and then fall away. Cain is just the latest in a line.

Newt could have done it. Sure. He’d gain a lot. He’s risen in the polls and if Cain were to fade away, Newt would become the newest “not Romney” candidate.

It’s probably the P-BO’s boys. They are scared to death what will happen to the black vote if half-black, white raised, pampered and passed through Barry has to run against a real black man.

Another possibility is that these two women are seeking their 15 minutes of fame and a check from the National Enquirer. My sense about these things is that there is usually something there. In this case I believe that one of the women, the one who filed a formal complaint, was a poor performing employee and saw herself getting canned so decided to take a swipe at a big payoff.

Oddly, the one with the formal complaint is one the one I’d worry least about. It’s the second one with no formal complaint who can now pretty much make up anything she wants because there is no complaint on file. Weird huh?

I’d do the same thing with these two that we did with Kathleen Willy and Juanita Broaddrick. Did the women go on to confide extemporaneously to friends what happened and in Broaddrick’s case seek medical attention. Even Monica confided in Linda Tripp. Poor Linda. Was that gal ever ravaged by pols, MSM and late night tv for picking up the phone when Monica called.

Handled correctly, this could be like Cain’s smoking ad, taking a negative and making it positive.

What if you tried to "occupy" your own home

2011-10-31T08:22:00.001-04:00

I was thinking what an OWS movement would look like at home. Here’s what I came up with.

Like the rest of the 99% on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I was occupying my living room couch flipping between the NFL and NASCAR when “the man” (AKA Mzzzzz. Lex) came in and demanded that I leave the couch so that the Cheetos mess could be vacuumed up before it irreversibly turned the couch orange.

For a foolish minute I though about resisting. I can wait her out. Then I saw it - a near empty 32 ounce Power Aide bottle. With that raised eyebrow, I knew she knew too. I’d be leaving that couch for my own needs sooner or later – probably sooner.

This is the perfect time for compromise. So I got up and feigned like I was helping out. I grabbed the Cheetos bag, the Power Aide bottle, the bag Oreos, the plate that had the donuts on it, the M&Ms, and the Sunday sports section. I acted as if I were headed to the kitchen to put the mess up. Then, when out of reach and hopefully unnoticed, I broke for the basement and established a new command center for the Occupy Pulver Rd. resistance movement there.

Our movement is small but dedicated. We are the household 99%. Me, Lex jr., George the dog and Ty the pony are shutting things down here in protest of the 1% who controls all the money, buys all food, does all the laundry, shops, cleans the house, cooks, pays all the bills, and generally keeps things moving around here.

Our stupid and outrageous demands include:

Snuggies for everyone, Leopard Snuggies that is not one those common blue or pink models

A singing fish by the front door to impress our friends

A set of real lawn Jarts the heavy pointy kind banned by a namby pamby government

At least 3 flavors of ice cream in the frig at all times

And no holier than thou looks from “the man” when we watch The Simpsons

These are our demands! Well those and a new belt and a NASCAR hat and an unlimited allowance to buy whatever we want whenever we want it.

Those are our demands! Well those and moving school start time back to a reasonable hour, say 10, no wait, 10:30 and no more cutting the grass. That is so bourgeois, and new car. Did I say car? No. A truck. A Ford 150 with everything. Those are our demands!

Yeah, I know, this isn’t going to end well. Too bad city governments around the country don’t have the resolve of someone who actually has to make things work.

In its Sunday edition, the local fish wrap whined about Herman Cain’s smoking ad and called Herman’s smile “creepy.” Lex fired off this note giving them a taste of their own medicine:

Calling Herman Cain’s engaging and infectious smile “creepy” is straight up racism. There is no other explanation. Here you have the first real black man in either party who has held a steady private sector job and is leading the race for his party’s nomination in nationwide polls. And what is the JG’s response? Get out there and try to push the skilled and successful black man to the back of the bus. Round him up! Get him back on the plantation! You ought to ashamed of yourselves.

A third party means four more years

2011-10-28T08:21:00.000-04:00

Uh oh, there is talk of a third party run. Names being dropped include Sarah Palin, Ron Paul, Donald trump, perpetual third party candidate Ralph Nader and even Shrillda Beast Clinton. ASIDE: Do you suppose the Clintons are breathing a sigh of relief that the Republicans killed the P-BO’s stimulus bill that nit wit VP Slow Joe claimed would stop rapist? I’m just saying, a prime target of any anti rape bill, would have to include Billbo himself wouldn’t it? And yet, it’s Monica who is in hiding. Odd huh?

OK back on point, which was?…oh yeah, a third party. Unless there is a third and fourth party run that offsets a Palin with a Shrilldabeast, any third party endeavor is likely to hand the P-BO a second term. So no matter how little you like the Republican nominee or how much you love the third party candidate, don’t take the bait. There is nothing the P-BO would like more than to have Ron Paul and/or Sarah Palin on the ballot in FL, OH, MI and PA.

Now on the other side, if the Shrillda wants to run, I encourage her to do so. If some leftist in a Che t-shirt and wearing V for Vendetta mask wants to represent the OWS movement in a presidential run, you go guy! Oooops, only gender neutral references allowed in the OWS movement, you go person!

If there are 4 or even 5 candidates that so fracture the vote that the whole thing is thrown into the House of Representatives, you’d think the Republican candidate would win easily. Not so fast. Don’t underestimate Boehner’s ability to get the Republicans to settle for the VP slot and let the P-BO maintain the Oval Office. He’d come out and bill it as a great victory. After all, things are so screwed up why would we want a Republican getting the blame when things go inevitably bad? You don’t think that’s possible? Study the picture at the top of the post just under and think again. Remember, this is the guy who can’t even cut off funding to NPR.

Then there’s this from the YGBFSM file:

The Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights confirmed that it is investigating allegations that Catholic University violated the human rights of Muslim students by not allowing them to form a Muslim student group and by not providing them rooms without Christian symbols for their daily prayers.

In an uncharacteristically blunt statement, the pope said:

Go f^%k yourself. Get the hell out and don’t come back you ungrateful, trapped in the 12th century, bunch of creepy d-bags. To hasten your exit, I’m sending over a boat load of crucifixes that I have personally blessed and am ordering one be affixed to each and every wall on university property. I am also ordering that enough crosses be constructed so that at least one can seen from every square inch of university grounds. Had I known it was this easy to run your terrorist sympathizing and apparently vampire like asses off campus, I'd have directed this action years ago.

OWS riots & the Super Committee

2011-10-27T08:08:00.000-04:00

Yeah, sure, like anyone with a brain couldn’t see this coming. There were riots in Oakland, CA over the weekend when police cleared the 99% from their occupy camp site. Really, after you let them stay the first night, did anyone in city government really expect that they would have a George Bush moment, declare “Mission Accomplished” and fly off the aircraft carrier on their own?

Now what do suppose is going to happen in other cities being occupied by the 99%? Actually, when you look at the video, it’s pretty funny how easy it was for the 1% to run the 99% off, don’t you think? But NYC is being occupied and the Nanny Mayor there is saying stay as long as you like. How’s that working out for you Mike?

But the really, really hilarious part of all of this is that it’s Demo-Dope mayors being the villains here. Oakland was the city where mayor Moonbeam Jerry Brown was in charge. Now his successor twice removed, some chick named Jean Quan, is in deep doo doo for trying to restore order in the city. So the Demo-Dope mayors in cities like Atlanta, NYC, hell even Ft. Wayne are faced with a true dilemma, act like Demo-Dopes and allow protestors to crap on police cars or act like republicans and enforce the law. Damn, what to do?

The big equalizer in all of this will be winter. Let’s see how many of these heroes want to stay out occupying when it’s 32 degrees and raining. Just watching it from a distance, I see a good many fair weather soldiers in the crowd.

And there is further proof that the P-BO is a clueless jerk. On the Leno show he lumped the Tea party in with the OWS losers. Oh, yeah, sure now I remember that picture of granny defecating on a police car. I remember grandpa shouting eff the USA. Yeah sure they are exactly alike. What a clueless buffoon.

Now on to the Super Committee. Did anyone think that a committee that included Cambodian war hero Francois Kerry would be able to get past the endless stories about his Cambodian exploits to actually get their work done?

This guy is exactly what is wrong with congress and DC in general. Here’s a lying sack of crap sitting on a committee that is supposed to save the country from ruin. There probably aren’t a dozen people in the entire body that I’d trust with that endeavor. And think about it, the 535 turn their responsibility to govern over to a chosen dozen. I cannot see me supporting that proposition even if I were chosen as one of the dozen.

Then to make matter worse, they install triggers that are automatically pulled if the committee can’t get past another fake war story from Francois about how he single handedly pulled Kadaffy from a drain pipe, slapped him around, beat him in a rubber match of cribbage, drank him under the table after truffles and half a bottle of vintage Dom Perignon and woke up naked, face down in the desert with a hang over and Kadaffy’s dead body on top of him. Now, try to get that mental image out of your brain before lunch.

The whole problem with the DC crowd is captured in the photo above. The fix is in. They are birds of a feather. Only the most stalwart among them stand for the people anymore and they are far and few between.

If you doubt me on this ask yourself, how did you feel after 2010 election? Great, right? How do you feel now? After a sweeping victory, nothing much changed. The photo captures why. They are all buds. The Rep leadership is pretty much the same as the Demo-Dope leadership. The Dopes want to drive the car off a cliff at 100 mph and the Reps want to drive it off at 60 mph. Either way, we’re screwed.

I paid $120,000 for a worthless degree and it's all your fault and Pope embraces OWS only he doesn't

2011-10-26T08:28:00.002-04:00

Another day, another way the P-BO plans to use your tax dollars to buy votes. Yesterday the P-BO was offering tax $ to “underwater” home owners. Today he’s offering tax $ to college kids to provide new no-cost benefits to graduates mired in college debt.

You don’t want to be mired in debt at graduation? Get a job and work your way through school. Or just get a job and not go to college. Also, instead of that impressive sheep skin in interpretive dance, get a degree in something that can be parlayed into a real three letter word a J-O-B.

And where on earth is the hue and cry against “big education?” Average college tuition has gone up several times the rate of inflation over the past several years. In recent years, consumer prices have risen less than 3 percent a year, while tuition at public colleges has risen by 8.8 percent and at private ones, 6.7 percent. Why aren’t the OWS crowd occupying the campus instead?

I read where one college student had acquired more than $120,000 in debt as a result of school loans. What in the hell are they teaching at that school? What were the bank managers making the loans thinking? What was the student thinking?

No one was thinking here. You’d think at real university the student would have wondered into a freshman econ class where he’d hear about something called a cost benefit ratio. You’d think a light would come on at about the $6,000 mark of accumulated debt for this numbskull. You’d think the bank manager might sit the kid down and say, “Look knowledge is good, but with a degree in ancient art and artifacts of the Powamba tribe of lower Siddar, you’re going to have trouble getting a real job. So no, we’re not lending you any more money. Go get a real job”

But none of that happens. The kid goes to a college where he apparently learns nothing of value and gets loans from a loan officer who graduated from the same university and is paying off his own $120,000 loan working for $50,000 a year as loan officer.

And just like the underwater crowd, everyone is bitching

There’s news a foot on Drudge and Beck’s website that the Vatican has called for a single monetary authority or some sort of world bank to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and ineffective in dealing fairly with world monetary crises. Uh, don’t believe everything you hear. The paper that spawned all of this was released from something called the Justice and Peace department. Yeah, who knew? But hey, it’s the Vatican. If there is going to be such a department, you’d expect it to be at the Vatican, right?

Anyhoo, it’s some minor dept and doesn’t really speak for Rome or the Pope. But some leftist Fr. Flager wannbe dope named Fr. Tom Reese got hold of an advance copy and began peddling a line of BS that fit his own agenda. The church issued a statement reflecting as much but only in nicer terms:

"It is in this spirit of discernment that the Holy See, with the note of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, wishes to make a contribution which might be useful to the deliberations of the G-20 meeting”.

Bishop Toso explained that the aim of the note is “suggest possible paths to follow, in line with the most recent social Magisterium, for the implementation of financial and monetary policies…”

The Church does not wish to enter into the technical issues behind the current economic crisis, but remains within the ambit of her religious and ethical functions…

Some smart guy named Thomas Peters points out:

I have nothing to immediately add to that, because the very authors of the document make clear how it should be evaluated: namely, as a “contribution” (as opposed to a mandate), as a “possible path” (as opposed to a moral proscription), in line with the Magisterium’s social teaching (as opposed to introducing a new teaching), without getting into the technical issues (because the Church is an expert in humanity, not economics) while fully staying within the Church’s religious and ethical functions.

Liberal Catholics routinely (and in this case) try to read the Church’s social teaching as dogmatic while choosing to view the Church’s moral and religious teaching as optional. In fact, the Church herself is always careful to make clear that her moral and religious teaching is dogmatic and binding while her social teaching –and particularly her economic teaching– is exhortative and prudential.

And there you have it. It's just more lib BS designed to get you to think that the entire world is off its rocker and get you to add another 3 ft to the 12 ft fence around your compound.

Put the man who can't do anything in charge of everything

2011-10-25T08:04:00.000-04:00

Well another day another 10 things the P-BO is doing to be concerned about.

“We can’t wait” is the mantra for the P-BO. Under that clever cloak, the P-BO has taken it upon himself to restructure loans for “underwater houses.’ Underwater is a euphemism for bad investment. If you agreed to make payments on a $200,000 home, then America elects a know nothing president and the value of your home plummets to $150,000 you are said to be “underwater.”

I don’t really understand it. Nothing about the home itself has changed. You just cannot sell it at a price equal to or higher than what you bought it for. Car owners have been dealing with this problem since the beginning of time.

Now some unfeeling Rep might say, “Hey, hang in there. These things go in cycles. The market will be back.” What a heartless bunch of BS. “We can’t wait” for the market to adjust. We can’t be expected to meet our commitments to the bank and our family. We need the government to step in NOW and restructure our loan.

So the P-BO comes up with this gem:

“The barrier will be lifted that prohibits responsible homeowners from refinancing if their home values have fallen so low that what they owe on their mortgage is 25 percent higher than the current value of their home.”

So what does “refinancing” mean here? Does the bank forgive 25% of the loan? Or does the payment go from $675 to $650? Oh and here’s a good one. The refinancing is for homes financed through the bankrupt Freddy and Fannie. Great.

How does refinancing make your home worth more? If I’m financing $200,000 at 6% for home worth $150,000, how does financing the same $200,000 at 3% magically make the home worth another $50,000? It seems to be pretty much smoke and mirrors to me.

The bottom line here is the P-BO buying votes with your money.

But don’t worry if your interested in finding out about the “executive” changes you could use the Freedom of Information Act to request all of the relevant documents from the P-BO. But if the P-BO’s justice department has its way, the P-BO could just use his common practice of lying and tell you the papers did not exist. Yeah, really.

Eric the wad Holder’s Justice Dept. wants to make the P-BO’s lying legal. The wad has proposed a revision to Freedom of Information Act rules that would allow federal agencies to lie to citizens and reporters seeking certain records, telling them the records don’t exist.

So when the congress goes to the wad and says, “We want all the documents on the Fast and Furious operation.” The wad can say, “Fast and Furious? Hmmm. That’s a movie, right? We don’t have any papers on that, and no such operation ever existed. Thank you for your inquiry.”

Then there’s bit of scariness. Sec. of Ed Arne Duncan said:

“I think kids should be in school 365 days a year. Now, I’m a little hard-lined there, not everyone agrees with me. In all seriousness, particularly in disadvantaged communities, we know that summer reading loss is a huge problem, and so where children don’t have access to museums and libraries during the summer, having them be in school in those months to continue learning, that’s the right thing to do.”

What this really is, is year round government run day care. “Continue learning?” Arne the word “continue” implies that something has occurred and is ongoing. The schools you are talking about are utter failures. What “learning” will continue? Indoctrination of kids under SEIU teacher union thugs. The WI type learning where teachers walk off the job because they are asked to pay some bit of their own healthcare and retirement?

Idiot.

This war can still be lost

2011-10-24T08:40:00.000-04:00

As usual there are about a 1,000 things the P-BO is screwing up simultaneously, so where to begin? Let’s get out of Iraq by Christmas. Many are under the illusion that this is the P-BO fulfilling a campaign promise. Wrong. That was get out of Iraq in a year. After the coronation, the P-BO reverted to President Bush’s policy. And we’d still be in Iraq after this year and for who knows how long, if this bunch of inept doofuses could have negotiated a SOFA agreement. They couldn’t. So the next best face saving move is to leave altogether. Sort of like the old routine, “You’re FIRED!” “OH yeah? You can’t fire me, because I quit!”

Scrawny Harry about summed this move up when he revised his “this war is lost” comment to “we can still lose this war.” Way to go Barry. You’re doing a heck of a job.

The big problem here is not Iraq. It’s the neighborhood. Syria and Iran need to be watched. I’d be much happier if we had a toe hold in the area.

But welcome home GI Joe’s and Jane’s. Have a great Christmas. But I wouldn’t unpack your sea bag right away. Something tells me you’re going to be headed back soon.

Much to the slowest of all Joe’s dismay, it turns out the Demo-Dopes support rape and robbery. Senate Demo-Dopes couldn’t get the P-BO’s budget stimulus through the senate on Fri. Yes after lambasting the Reps as soft on crime for not passing the P-BO’s crime fighting stimulus, Slow Joe shovel ready Biden is now faced with explaining why senate Demo-Dopes wouldn’t pass the bill.

And for anyone who thinks this page occasionally crosses the line when referring J-O-B-S is three letter word Biden, dig this:

Dagen McDowell, appearing on a Fox News panel with Neil Cavuto and several other guests, said she took issue with the “scare tactics” the White House has been employing to get the bill passed.

“They’re lecturing and hectoring,” McDowell said. “President Obama said in July, and I quote, ‘part of the problem with the political process is folks are rewarded for saying irresponsible things to win elections or obtain short-term political gain’ — and then you’ve got Numb Nuts out on the campaign trail talking like, he’s talking out of his backside.”

Of course she’s in big trouble for stating the obvious truth.

Meanwhile over in the NFL, Merril Hoge is in deep, deep, deep depression. Tim Tebow had the most unlikely – miraculous? - of come backs in NFL history covering a 15 point deficit in just three minutes. Tebow's post game interview, which started with a shout out to Tebow’s giver of life and Savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ and ended with a God bless, has the “separation of church and NFL” crowd going nuts. Expect a court challenge on network interviews of Tebow by week’s end.

Credit Lex with Kadaffy's demise

2011-10-21T07:54:00.000-04:00

Can the P-BO claim victory for killing another worthless scum bag? No. Remember when this whole thing started? The P-BO explained at great lengths that killing Moomarr Kadaffy was not an objective of the operation. As I recall, the operation was initiated to give the rebel forces some operating room from Kadaffy’s armored forces and air power. So at best, killing Kadaffy was kind of collateral damage that the P-BO will eventually have to go to the UN and apologize for.

Lex deserves more credit than the P-BO. On 8/22/11 Lex posted this:

As you recall Lex supported the NATO action in Libya. The only problem I had was the namby pamby BS from the Commander in Chief who clearly said he was interested in government reform not the killing of Kaddaffyduck. The entire mission should have revolved around killing that murdering bastard, his worthless off spring and the Lockerbie bomber.

This clearly was not the first post that Lex had called for the killing of Kadaffy. I said kill the bastard from the very beginning. So yeah, Lex deserves more credit than the P-BO. At least Lex had a clearly stated mission and end state. Now if the P-BO had any sense he’d use the moment to quietly demand the Lockerbie bomber, al Megrahi. First one to hand him over gets good guns some cash and the inside track on forming a new Libyan government.

Last thing on this for today, where in the world are the war protesters?

Then there’s this from the “you can't make this $h!t up if you try” file, ABC reports:

With the approval of the Obama administration, an electric car company that received a $529 million federal government loan guarantee is assembling its first line of cars in Finland, saying it could not find a facility in the United States capable of doing the work.

Vice President (Slowest of all) Joseph (shovel ready) Biden heralded the Energy Department’s $529 million loan to the start-up electric car company called Fisker as a bright new path to thousands of American manufacturing jobs. But two years after the loan was announced, the job of assembling the flashy electric Fisker Karma sports car has been outsourced to Finland.

Way to go Joe. You’re doing a heck of a job. But wait, it gets better. The Karma costs $97,000 a copy. Now that’s what I call a practical, affordable, clean car the 99% on OWS can embrace. There is absolutely nothing bourgeois about a $97,000 electric car with start up capital provided by the US tax payer through the P-BO administration. It’s just like the Libyan war. What war?

But it gets even better - or worse depending. Guess who has major share holder’s interest in Fisker? No not the collective OWS conglomerate. AlGore.

And yes, if it’s possible, it gets even better still. Forbes reports:

The Fisker Karma electric car, developed mainly with your tax money so that a bunch of rich VC’s (venture capitalists) wouldn’t have to risk any real money, has rolled out with an nominal EPA MPGe of 52.

Not bad? Unfortunately, it’s a sham. This figure is calculated using the grossly flawed EPA process that substantially underestimates the amount of fossil fuels required to power the electric car…

As I calculated in my earlier Forbes article, one needs to multiply the EPA MPGe by .365 to get a number that truly compares fossil fuel use of an electric car with a traditional gasoline engine car on an apples to apples basis. In the case of the Fisker Karma, we get a true MPGe of 19. This makes it worse than even the city rating of a Ford Explorer SUV.

Fisker is just more evidence of your federal government hard at work.

Dumb, dumber, dumbest

2011-10-20T08:37:00.002-04:00

Wow! This has to be a post about dumbest things ever said.

First, Scrawny Harry this war is lost Reid opened his sewer trap and this gem came spilling forth:

"It's very clear that private-sector jobs have been doing just fine; it's the public-sector jobs where we've lost huge numbers, and that's what this legislation is all about."

Thanks NV. You guys are doing a heck of a job. Nearly three million people and this is the best you can do? After comments about, pomegranates, cowboy poetry and bike paths, I believe this old fool is in the early stages of dementia. That or he’s just an old fool.

Unemployment is at 9.1%. In spite of Demo-Dope policies leading to the destruction of 1.6 million private sector jobs so far, according to the scrawniest Harry, the private-sector is doing just fine. I feel better already Harry. Thanks.

Under the P-BO’s moronic leadership, the public sector has shed about 900,000 jobs that included about 300,000 part time hires for the census. That’s a good start to my way of thinking. But really Harry, is 1.6 million a bigger number than 600,000?

When Harry stumbles into the truth by saying public-sector employment is what the P-BO’s “jobs bill” is all about, he inadvertently lets the cat out of the bag. The P-BO’s “pass this bill” BS is a ploy to add more public-sector union thug can never be fired no matter how incompetent jobs. That is exactly what we do not need.

But wait it gets dumber. The P-BO let this bit of jaw dropping dunderheadedness loose as well:

I guarantee it’s going to be a close election because the economy is not where it wants to be and even though I believe all the choices we’ve made have been the right ones, we’re still going through difficult circumstances.

All the choices we’ve made have been the right ones? Uh HELLO! Wake up! All the choices you’ve made have been the right ones, really? One word – Solyndra? OK, two – deficit. You tripled it. OK, three –unemployment. 9.34% average unemployment on your watch.

In other unbelievably stupid comments, Wile E Coyote said he wouldn’t change a thing in pursuit of the roadrunner. “All the choices I’ve made have been the right ones,” he insisted. He went on to say that the 534 million dollars he has invested in the Acme Company so far has been money well spent, particularly the rocket assisted roller skates.

Jumping on the P-BO’s bandwagon, the Boston Red Sox front office issued a statement today stating that trading Babe Ruth to the Yankees was “the best deal the club ever made.”

But when you want really stupid, where do you turn? That’s right the Slowest of all Joes. Joe J-O-B-S is a three letter word, shovel ready Biden. Foregoing plagiarism in stops at Flint MI and Philthydelphia PA this week, the slowest one relied on his own Homer Simpson like brain when he told crowds that rape and robbery would go up as a result of Republicans not passing the P-BO’s public-sector jobs bill.

He’s probably right. Both cities are run by Demo-Dopes. Criminals are a key constituency of the Demo-Dopes. So yeah, they want crime to go up. Why else would they ban guns and let criminals off and out of jail on the flimsiest of excuses?

And please Joe, if crime is such a worry in these cities, explain why the Demo-Dope mayors don’t cut the left handed, little people’s, gay, lesbian and transgendered task force for equal opportunity in the ice cream industry task force and hire more cops? If you’re so worried, why didn’t you take a few hundred million you just peed down the Solyndra sink hole and buy more cops? If you’re so worried about rape and robbery, why do you oppose citizens arming themselves with hand guns for protection? And given all of that, why should people in MT be expected to pay for police protection in Flint and Philthy when they refuse to do it for themselves?

On second thought, next to Joe Biden, Homer Simpson looks like civil engineer Kim Ung-Yong. Yeah, I’d never heard of him either. I Googled geniuses. Kim was at the top of the list with an IQ of 210. He was born March 8, 1962 is a Korean former child prodigy. Kim was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records under "Highest IQ"; the book estimated the boy's score at about 210. Who knew? Where else do you get this kind of stuff?

It's the libs who don't trust, won't use science

2011-10-19T08:30:00.000-04:00

There is a common misperception among the lemmings in the MSM and dunderheaded libs, (Yeah, sure as if there were any other kind) that conservatives are the anti science crowd. Like thinking government taxing and spending is a better solution than private investment and capitalism and as usual, they have gotten it exactly backward.

The claim about conservatives being anti science generally comes from two issues. First is global warming or cooling depending on the decade, or “climate change” for those too lazy to keep track of which direction the global thermometer is headed in any particular decade. The smug know- it-all AlGore types insist that the debate is over. The science is settled. They are even foolish enough to call people who might disagree “flat Earthers” when ironically it was probably the flat Earther’s who were the first ones to use the phrase, “the debate is over.”

And really given all of the lies, cover ups, bogus modeling, and just plain incompetence associated with climate warming/cooling/change crowd, should anyone be claiming the debate is over? You would make such a claim only if you were so unsure of yourself that you didn’t want to debate. You know, if I was 100% sure about something, I be looking to debate anyone and everyone. AlGore, the ugly, pasty, over weight face of this charade, won’t debate anyone on the subject he’s supposedly 100% sure about. Now certainly not sure enough about it that he’s willing to make a single life style sacrifice himself you understand. Although, he is willing to buy carbon off sets– from himself - to atone for his own corrupt life style that he claims is destroying the planet. Every time he hops a private jet, he takes $10 out of his right pocket and puts it into his left. And it’s always the same $10 bill.

Conservatives are pro science on this issue. They are willing to find the flaws in the models and re-run the tests. They are willing to move the data collection stations off of air port tarmacs and away from air conditioner discharge units and see what the accurate data says. They are willing to debate what a one degree change in the Earth’s temperature over 100 years really means and what, if anything, should be done about it. It’s the anti science left who just wants to fall back on the old “the debate is over” so let’s destroy the American economy, drive electric car and screw in environmentally unsafe light bulbs across the globe.

The point is that debate in real science is never over.

The next issue that the oh so smart libs mock conservatives about with regard to science is religion. The left it seems fancy themselves people science rather than “people of faith.” Well consider this:

20,880,468,000,000,000,000,000 to one. That is the chance that anyone of us has of being here. That number equals 23 (the number of human chromosomes) to the 23rd power.

584,088,921 that is the number of miles the Earth travels around the sun each year on an elliptical course that combined with

A 93 million mile average radius from the sun and

A 67,108 MPH orbital speed and

an axis tilt of 23.5 degrees gives us our year and our seasons

Now 7,917.5 miles is the Earth’s diameter. That figure combined with a rotational speed of a 1,070 MPH gives us our night and day.

Ponder those numbers for a minute…..

Time’s up. I submit that, given the numbers and the vastness of the universe, that if even one of those numbers were off by even the smallest fraction, life on Earth would be impossible. In my mind, it takes much more “faith” to believe that this whole thing occurred by happenstance than by design. The chances of this happening by accident is about the same as dropping a package of uncooked spaghetti on the floor and it magically forming all 26 letters of the alphabet in order.

Some observations

2011-10-18T08:00:00.000-04:00

Dad never wore a seat belt. He smoked unfiltered Chesterfields until he developed lung cancer. He drank alcohol. For most of his life, he ate all of the nasty things that Nanny Mayor Bloomberg and Moochelle Obama are trying to ban. He was a house painter and would regale us with stories of how he used to mix the lead into oil based paint with his bare hands. He survived the global cooling scare of the 70’s, asbestoses, leaded gas, red dye #5, eggs, white bread, salt, processed foods, red meat, FDR’s great depression, WWII, a nasty fall from a ladder, several automobile accidents and all of the day to day trials of raising 6 kids to live to the ripe old age of 87 years. It was probably global warming or climate change that got him in the end, that or old age.

Now:
Not only is it against the law in many states to drive without a seatbelt, the auto/insurance industry make it nearly impossible to do so. The car will flash lights, beep, buzz, hector and warn the driver with a series of warnings so annoying that it is just easier the buckle the belt behind you before starting the car.

With the exception of really hip Demo-Dope donors like Sean bung plug Penn, smoking is more reviled in today’s society than drug use or soft child pornography of the kind Abercrombie and Fitch use to hawk their wares. In fact it in today’s world, you are probably better off drinking to such excess that you end up throwing up on the host’s couch than dare light up a cigarette in the house.

Lead paint has been totally banned. That would have been good for dad’s business because he said the new paints don’t last nearly as long and the color is different. Besides, as he used to say, you’re not supposed to eat the paint.

I suppose that ethanol is today’s equivalent of the unleaded gas of the mid 70s. The difference is that “scientist” claimed the lead in gas was killing you while today’s “scientist” claim that gasoline is killing the planet. Even NASCAR has jumped on the green band wagon using ethanol on race day, which is about right. They change their engines (or as they say motor) every 500 miles, which is what you’ll be doing if you run ethanol in your car.

Some other things: Dad never e-nailed, texted, facebooked, or tweeted anyone. Strangely enough he actually enjoyed talking to people and writing letters.

How could dad have lived 87 years? By today’s standards, he should have been dead by the time he was 20. A nation of wimps? NO! A nation led by wimps.

Knowing so little, the P-BO is with 99% of the protesters

2011-10-17T07:33:00.003-04:00

The P-BO has embraced the 99%. The 99% would be those of us who have at least three fingers or toes at the end of at least one of our feet or hands. Seriously, can you think of anything else that 99% of any group has in common? OK, well yeah, 99% of "the 99%" are morons. OK you win.

I think the P-BO is having a bit of community organizer envy. Having spent most of his community organizing days ordering pizza for the midnight basketball league in Chicago, like everything in his life, the P-BO was pretty much lazy and below average at his one true calling, organizing a community. Now this mob of misfits shows up and the P-BO must be thinking to himself – damn, now that’s community organizing.

This guy is the face and intellectual driving force behind the movement. This is the movement’s anthem. Given this kind of exposure, some in the media are surprised that the P-BO has taken the movement under his threadlike wing. Who is SURPRISED that the P-BO supports a group whose anthem is “F*&K the USA?” How far is it from the P-BO’s Rev? G-D-ing the USA to these freaks F-ing the USA? Not too terribly far in my mind. And what do the two have in common? What they have in common is stated in the post under – the P-BO.

Then there are lib brainiacs Jeneanne Gawdawfullo and Sean anyone seen the bung plug for my row boat Penn battling with the guy in the first video for intellectual supremacy in the lib movement. Penn dropped this line on some CNN show few watch:

“What I call the ‘Get the N-word out of the White House party,’ the Tea Party”

Read more: http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2011/10/15/sean-penn-calls-tea-party-get-n-word-out-white-house-party-which-wants#ixzz1b2JvPNPP

You know Sean, if by N-word, you mean nit wit, numbskull, national disgrace, ne’er-do-well, nappy headed dope, knot head, know nothing, you’re probably right. I’m with the 99% that believe that N-word should be removed from the WH.

But right now, I’m with the 99% that think that I should have another cup of coffee and an apple fritter.

They protest "the man" by supporting "the man"

2011-10-14T08:24:00.000-04:00

There is something odd going on. The Cincinnati Bengals being 3-2, five games into the season for sure, but something in addition to that. There are these occupy this and that demonstrations going on all over the country. One is supposed to take place in Ft. Wayne this Sat. I may go downtown with my rainbow wig and John 3:16 sign; or some other sign:
I support clean liquid hydrocarbon fuels (AKA petroleum)
If I want it, someone else should pay for it!
If I need it, I should be allowed to take it!
If we kill the rich, who will pay my tuition?
Take half of everything the rich have! Make 'em get a divorce!
Some damned rich guy just offered me a job!
Screw the rich, besides creating jobs, funding charity, paying 47 times their fair share of income tax, creating the greatest country on Earth, what have they ever done?

What started supposedly as a lib counter to the Tea Party has pretty much devolved into an unsanitary orgy of misfit leftists protesting everything from the scientific equation for how much filth can be piled onto an acre of ground to the downgrade of Pluto from full fledged planet to mere dwarf planet. Hey is that politically correct? Shouldn’t it be “little planet?”

Anyway, what holds all of these misfits protesting anything and everything together? The P-BO that’s what. Yes, these misfit protesters are protesting against “the man” by supporting “the man” - our own misfit president, who historians will no doubt down grade to a dwarf president some time in the future.

They are against Wall St. corporations but for the P-BO who took over two massive Corps himself, GM and Chrysler. They are against the banks but support the P-BO who as Sen. B-HO supported the government bail out known as TARP. They are against the war(s) but for the P-BO who continues the old ones and starts new ones. They are against G’itmo but for the P-BO who promised to close it but hasn’t and won’t. They are for clean water but refuse to use it to wash or clean their clothes. They demand we respect the environment then proceed to create a toxic waste heap in the middle of Manhattan. Weird huh?

Yes it is, but remember that consistency is the hobgoblin of people who are not hypocrites like libs in general and the P-BO, Slowest Joe shovel ready Biden, Grand Fran Nan Pelooser who once famously called the Tea Party a Nazi Astroturf movement in particular. It makes perfect sense for these morons to “rage against the man” while supporting “the man’s” reelection efforts. After all, if you want hope and change, you keep voting for the same guy, right?

Pay attention!

2011-10-13T08:04:00.000-04:00

It all happening right before our very eyes. A governor of one of the states seriously proposes the suspension of elections. Bev no really I’m not a brain dead idiot Perdue Governor of NC advocated for the suspension of election. Sedition? No. She’s a Demo-Dope so she can pretty much do and say anything she wants without so much as a, Huh?, from the MSM.

Jesse Jackson jr. (I guess the jr. would make him Hymieville instead of Hymietown) has the added advantage of being black. Not only can he say anything he wants without being challenged, the MSM will actually try to make him appear to be smart when he says stupid things. So when he calls for the P-BO to use “extra constitutional means” to achieve an end, it’s not sedition. Hey, idiot! You took an oath to support and defend the constitution. Oh, that’s funny, an oath from a lying sack of crap Demo-Dope. No doubt he mouthed those words with all of the sincerity of a pedophile saying, “Hey kid, you want some candy?” Sadly jr. is just playing off the P-BO’s own comment about “using ‘administrative means’ to go around congress” to pursue his goals.

Then there’s the story of the really, really small Billy Maher saying that someone ought to throw a brick through Rupert Murdoch’s window. Nice. Nothing like calling for violence against those who might have a different view than your own. Now if someone ever threatened tiny Billy, you can bet he’d be pressing charges in a second. He’s a spineless punk.

Then you have Soros funded rent-a-mobs “occupying” several key cities whining about something. No one can really put their finger on what these miscreants really want. Probably nothing, really. They just want to be out protesting.

Then you have union thugs joining the rent-a-mob. Notice how they are always billed as “hard working” in MSM? But how many days do you get off to protest? We saw them demonstrating in WI and now in major US cities. I don’t think they can be all that “hard working” if they don’t have to go to work.

Then add into the mix a lying, incompetent and worthless Attorney General looking out for “his people” and you’ve got trouble.

OK class pull out your math books. Let’s do some addition.

One Demo-Dope governor calls for suspending elections +

One Demo-Dope Congressman calls for the use of “extra constitutional” means to get what he wants +

Little – minuscule really - Billy Maher calls for throwing bricks through people’s windows +

Established rent-a-mobs “occupy” key US cities +

Union thugs are joining the rent-a-mob +

A lying, incompetent and worthless Attorney General =

Some sort of validation of one or more Lex’s conspiracy theories.

You want to know what really, really, really pees me off though? I don’t care. I’m telling you anyway. I’m sick of hearing how smart all these people supposedly are. The P-BO and Eric the wad Holder are soooooooo smart, sooooooo intelligent, playing chess while everyone else plays checkers. Look at the mess these geniuses have created. If these guys are the smart ones, I’m happy to be the dumb@$$ in the room.

Some spring cleaning for the Islamo-Terror-Fascists

2011-10-12T08:20:00.001-04:00

Hey how about that Arab Spring? It’s all holding hands and singing Kumbaya now that Mubarak’s in the stock, right? Well not exactly. The military is still in charge and elections are no where near. Oh, yeah, and the radical Islamo-Terror-Fascists are killing the Coptic Christians.

Well as everyone knows, what better time to do a bit pruning than in the spring? Right? So the ITF are just pruning away those pesky Christians who are under the illusion that Muslims are interested in coexisting with anyone else.

But you know who I feel sorry for? Yeah, sure the Coptic Christians being run over by Egyptian military vehicles that we’re paying for, but also all of those obnoxious, self- important rubes who think that they have the inside track on sensitivity and tolerance because they put a stupid bumper sticker on their car.

Here’s the challenge I have for every one of them. Go live in the Middle East for a year. I can pretty much guarantee that after a year in Egypt or just about anywhere else in the Middle East, the coexist lame brains would be scrapping that idiotic piece of vinyl off the back bumper of their Prius or Volvo within the first 30 minutes of their return.

Here’s a simple truth. You cannot coexist with someone who wants to kill you. You cannot coexist in a cage with a hungry lion. No matter how forcibly to assert your intention not cause the lion any harm, sooner or later the lion will kill you and eat you.

Now if you enter the cage with a gun, you might as well kill the lion at the first opportunity, because the end result will be that one of the two of you are going to be dead at the hands of the other. Coexisting is not an option.

Now if you’re the P-BO offering advice to man in the cage with a lion, you’d tell the man to cut off one of his legs and feed it to the lion. After all the lion has to eat too. Then after the lion finishes off the leg, the P-BO tells the man to cut off one his arms. After all, the man has two. And since the lion means the man no harm, he really doesn’t need two arms. Then when the lion finally kills the man and devourers him, the P-BO shrugs and laments that the man pushed the lion too far by trying to occupying the far corner of the cage.

Israel is the man in the cage with the lion.

Janeane Gawdawfullo

While watching the debate last night, I recalled this remark from lib super hyper genius Janeanne Gawdawfullo:

"Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican Party.”

That reminded me of another great lib thinker, Dean Wormer of Faber College, where “Knowledge is Good,” from the movie Animal House. When Wormer places Delta House on probation, he’s reminded that they are already on probation. He then places them on “double secret probation.”

So yeah, we’re not only racists, we’re double secret racists, because we support a black guy. No, it doesn’t make sense to people with brains, but no one in Hollywood, public sector unions or the Demo-Dope Party are encumbered by rational thought so it all makes perfect sense. Sort of like telling the guy in the cage with the hungry lion to “coexist” by cutting off one his legs to feed to the lion.

Oh and the debate, Romney, Cain and Gingrich just as predicted.

Religious questions are OK, just don't ask the P-BO about Rev? Wright

2011-10-11T08:11:00.000-04:00

There is a debate tonight supposedly dedicated to economics. Wanna bet the first question is about a brain dead preacher? No not the right Rev? Jerry Wright. That’s the P-BO’s boy so he’s off limits. Besides, is it really that big of deal when you and your family sit in the pew of a church for TWENTY YEARS where the Rev? damns America? No not really.

Some Perry acolyte has called Mormonism a cult. Now there is a real religious crime MSM lemmings can sink their teeth into. Even though the guy qualified the whole thing with a “theological definition of cult” that is. Which I guess is different from the type of crazy cult that would erect Styrofoam Roman pillars for its god and endlessly chant “Yes we can” while riding the economic equivalent of the Hale Bop comet of their chosen one to the country’s ruin.

Yes I know. That is a beautiful metaphor and just one more reason why I am the leading blogger within a couple of blocks of my compound.

What was I writing about? Oh yeah, the economic debate that will be about religion for at least 15 minutes tonight. OK, I have known quite a few Mormons in my time. With the exception of one who is a creepy, philandering, lying, hypocrite lib, who left the LDS because he could not live by its tenants, all have been fine up standing CHRISTIANS.

Yeah, that’s right CHRISTIANS. They believe that Jesus Christ was the living son of God and the only way to God is through his only Son.

Hey wait a minute. That sounds an awful lot like Christianity. Yeah, it is. It gets a bit tricky when the Mormon once accepted practice of polygamy, which ended in 1890, and the founder of the LDS Joseph Smith are introduced. Some believe that Mormons worship Smith. Smith is no more a god to Mormons than John the Baptist is to Catholics.

So what’s the big deal? The Republican front runner is a Mormon. That’s the big deal for the MSM. So here’s the opportunity for the MSM to rip the Republican front runner on a subject that they totally ignored in the last cycle. Now when you stop to think about it, the MSM writing about a particular candidate’s religious beliefs would be sort of like cooking host Rachael Ray talking about the flaws of blitzing a couple of linebackers while running a cover two defense in the NFL. She probably doesn’t know a thing about it.

But when has not knowing what you’re talking about ever stopped the MSM? Dan Rather anyone? Besides, this is just too juicy to pass up. Expect Herman Cain to knock it out of the ball park. Expect Newt to be the one to turn the table on the questioner as in, why absolutely no interest in the P-BO’s race baiting, anti Semite preacher in the last cycle but questions about Mormonism now? And if you want to take it one step further, why aren’t you asking the Senate majority leader Scrawny Harry this war is lost Reid these questions? He’s Mormon.

Winners tonight will be Herman, Mitt and Newt. For Cain and Romney this is right in their wheel house. Don’t get the “I’ve run a business before” line in the drinking game tonight. Romney and Cain will be using it like a club on the other candidates at every opportunity. You’ll be passed out in the corner in 30 minutes. Newt will be a winner because he will be the smartest guy in the room.

Our problem is obvious

How can it be explained? “It” being the daily plethora of crap that rolls down us. Sloyndra: After flushing $535 million, can you believe that the P-BO administration was all set to float another loan to a solar panel company that makes ‘em for $6 and sells ‘em for $3? Even promising to put solar panels on top of the White House couldn’t create enough volume for Solyndra to make up a $3 loss on each panel. Then, having learned nothing, The P-BOS chucks another $700 million more dollars down the green energy sink hole AFTER SOLYNDRA FAILED. The money had to be spent before some dead line. Uh, no it didn’t. Give it back. But spend it they did.

Fast & Furious: When asked if he believed ATF agents have been accomplices to murder, AZ Sheriff Paul Babeu replied, “Absolutely.” He went on to put the blame where it belongs, Eric the wad holder: “Now, that’s one step away from Eric Holder. This is his Department of Justice and there are people who have lost their lives.” As it turns out the wad takes after his boss in more ways than just being another clean, articulate, light skinned black man capable of dropping the negro dialect when it suits him. He’s a lying dope as well. And don’t even think about call me a racist. That first line is a combination of Slow Joe Biden and Scrawny Harry Reid’s description of the P-BO. The last line is the indisputable truth. So far everyone associated with this monument to stupidity has been…drum roll please….promoted.

Occupy Wall St.: Labor unions have joined forces with uh…who? The freaks comprising the “Occupy Wall St” mob. What else do you call them? What’s their purpose? Cause trouble is the only clear goal that I can discern. So unions, never ones to miss a chance to take a day off to cause trouble, joined right in. The movement spreads as more and more people gather to protest. The latest group to join in to voice their concerns are the students from Jay College protesting, uh Idunno, but it beats going to class. Certain new organizations are calling this a movement. It’s not. It’s a collection of malcontents gathering to avoid work, school, going home or just to cause trouble. Senators trying to collapse BoA: RC Turdbin added an amendment to the Dodd Frank fiasco that restricted the amount banks could charge for processing debit card transactions. OK fine. In response BoA just slapped a monthly $5 fee on debit card users. Proof positive of Lex’s theory that rich people are rich for a reason. They are smarter and more talented than dopes like Turdbin. So Turdbin takes to the floor of the senate and tells people to dump BoA. Trudbin is like a neighbor who dumps his trash over the fence onto your yard and thinks that’s fine. But when you pick it up and pile it back up on his front door step, he’s outraged.

EuroZone disaster: One European economic domino after another is falling while pols there say Germany can continue to bail the entire continent out. Meanwhile the Demo-Dopes are trying emulate every failed European policy even as they watch the results of those failed policies play out on the streets of Europe every night.

All of this going on before our very eyes and ears fueled by a complicit news media. And nothing much changes. We sit and watch, as if we’re in a slow motion car wreck. Why? Here’s the answer. Some version of this quote came from Rush Limbaugh or someone from the Czech Republic:

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America .. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Our problem is as obvious as the problem of the man who walks around with his head firmly planted up his butt. Our problem is that 53% of us voted for a moron. 46% of the 53% probably voted for the moron because they want to continue to pay 0% income tax.

Am I optimistic for 2012? No. Having 46% of the vote voting their own economic interest is a pretty good running start even for a moron. A team of angles and arch angles arriving to fix this mess is the only “realistic scenario" I see for us getting out of this wreck. Us electing politicians who can figure it out, counter intuitively, would be the “miraculous scenario."

More demands from the occupiers

2011-10-05T07:40:00.000-04:00

Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.

Comment: $20 an hour! That’s an outrage! It should be $50 or $100 an hour. No, what the heck, make $10,000 an hour. We should all be millionaires with private jets like AlGore that we can fly around on while condemning people for using too much energy. Then we can all plant a tree to off-set the carbon emissions that would go toward meeting Demand Seven’s goal of replanting forests.

Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

Comment: YGBSM! P-BOcare?

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

Comment: As a slow witted uninspired white guy, I kind of like this one. Why shouldn’t I be making the same money for pushing a broom for 2 hours a day as the go getter who gets up early and wracks mind and body for 12-14 hours a day? But then again, $2 an hour ought to be “living” particularly when your list of what needs to “free” keeps growing, medical, education, housing, food etc. Throw in a movie once a week and 2 weeks vacation anywhere in the world and we could get rid of money all together.

Demand four: Free college education.

Comment: You get what you pay for. Free would be about right for most colleges and universities today.

Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.

Comment: Uh HELLO! WTF do think is all ready happening? 535 million to Solyndra? HELLO! Government Motors Chevy Volt? Hello!

Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.

Comment: Is that what the P-BO and Slow Joe Biden call “shovel ready jobs?” We JUST flushed 800 BILLION down the “shovel ready” sink hole and have gotten what? We got jobs at the cost of over 200K per unit. Wouldn’t it be more effective to hire street sweepers at 50K a year? At least the streets would be clean.

Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants.

Comment: Reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of rivers? Does that mean dams would be coming down? Hoover dam gone? And the decommissioning of nuke power plants? Seems as if this is at cross purpose with Demand five. Wind turbines and Sloyndra solar panels for all. I hope you can read in the dark and walk to work and school.

Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

Comment: Hell yeah, just like the Muslims!

Demand nine: Open borders migration. Anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

Comment: Well, if you take out the drug runners and human traffickers, that’s pretty much what we have right now. I’ll wait to see if ignoring them crops up somewhere in Demand 59 or 60.

Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

Comment: No comment. Right on.

Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.

Comment: I look at this debt like I look at Social Security. We won’t see a dime anyway. So yeah sure wipe it clean. You’re going to get stiffed anyway. So you might as well look as if you’re being magnanimous in the process.

Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

Comment: Given the other 52 demands, who will need them anyway?

Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

Comment: Why in the hell would you even need a union if everyone was making a “living wage” and getting everything for free?

The big ending: These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.

Comment: Ahh yes, of course. I can see us now as we all stroll down from our mud huts at the commune wearing our burlap sack cloth and sandals made of river reeds to hold hands and sing Kumbaya around the community camp fire which happens to be the only source of heat and light.

It's all fun and games until the other side shoots back

2011-10-04T07:50:00.001-04:00

The biggest ruse ever is going on with “Occupy Wall St.” movement. ASIDE: Why is it “occupiers” are bad when it refers to US troops or the Israelis but good when it refers to left wing dopes? No doubt these are P-BO’s useful idiots trying to deflect what a total incompetent SFB the P-BO is on the economy and anything else out side “organizing” a pick up basketball game. The occupiers’ mission is to deflect responsibility for the economy onto anyone but “The One.” In case you didn’t know it, the HuffPo lists six things the “occupiers” ought to demand. This incoherent argle bargle is what passes for “thought” on the left:

1. People over profit: An economic democracy is an economy that subordinates profit to people, not the other way around.

COMMENT: Subordinate profit to people, nice. Does that mean that “the people” get to come to work whenever they choose, get paid as much as they want, do only the tasks they want to do? If there are no PROFITS, how do the PEOPLE get paid?

2. Stakeholders over shareholders: An economic democracy is an economic system in which the voices, rights, and interests of all economic stakeholders -- including employees, stockholders, communities, ecosystems, other species and future generations -- are represented. Unlike our current economy where shareholders are given primacy, in an economic democracy no one stakeholder is granted a disproportionate degree of power and privilege.

Comment: Huh? Look at that first line again: An economic democracy is an economic system in which the voices, rights, and interests of all economic stakeholders -- including employees, stockholders, communities, ecosystems, other species and future generations -- are represented. What on God’s green Earth is NOT included in that definition? Under this arrangement Pepsi gets to decide how Coke does business. Future generations? Since when are Libs worried about future generations? They consistently want to wreck the economy for any future generation that might escape the abortion mill and death panels.

3. Better not bigger: In order to reorient the economy towards people and all stakeholders, we have to release it from the captivity of profit. In an economy geared towards GDP growth, the bottom line is the bottom line, and protecting it means suppressing wages, slashing payrolls, passing on costs to other people, other places, and other times. Most importantly, our economy has outgrown the physical limits of the planet, and saving civilization means stopping growth. A democratic economy should be a steady-state economy where existing wealth is distributed fairly, and where economic health is measured by true indicators of social welfare rather than the blunt and archaic tool of GDP. The Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy is a useful resource for steady-state solutions.

Comment: These are obviously people who have never been asked to pay for anything in their lives. They malign profits while griping about suppressed wages. Where do wages come from if not the profit of whatever enterprise we’re talking about? Oh yeah “distributing” the existing wealth. Outgrown the physical limits of the planet? The US government owns/controls over 80% of the land and resources in the US. We haven’t out grown anything. Steady state economy? With 1% growth in the GDP, that’s what we’ve got right now and things ain’t lookin’ so great. And just asking, wouldn’t a steady state economy necessarily mean suppressed and stagnant wages?

4. Main Street not Wall Street : The design of our financial system undermines true markets and productive community-based enterprises in favor of reckless speculation. It is designed to suck wealth away from communities and towards the corporate elite. A good blueprint here is the New Economy Working Group's report How to Liberate America from Wall Street Rule.

Comment: Hey I’m all for it. Sadly or gladly, depending on how you look at it, working people save a lot time and money by doing business at the Wal Mart and McDonald's. There’s nothing I like better than to walk into a Mom & Pop place and plop down an extra buck or two for a nice meal and friendly word. But economies of scale seem to be the only way to reach the first 3 goals. You cannot have Mom & Pop using energy to run 50 different businesses when Wal Mart gets it done at a fraction of the stress on an already “outgrown” planet.

5. One employee, one vote: An economic democracy is an economy where companies are built around the concept of one worker, one vote. In an economic democracy a company is a community of employees, where the employees, as full citizens of that community and the true source of company profit, decide how to invest that profit in the community. In this way, an economic democracy is distinct from both capitalism and socialism -- both variations of economic oligarchy -- where private boards on the one hand and public bureaucrats on the other decide how the profits workers generate are disposed of.

Comment: “Profits workers generate” of course will be a thing of the past. The “people” will just show up to work when they want, do whatever they want to do on that particular day and take home as much pay as they think they need, right? Sound’s good to me.

6. Economic Constitutionalism: In the United States Constitution the framers properly defined the powers and limits to the powers of the powerful institutions that govern our society. In an age where corporations have become as powerful as any institution of government, and have amassed undue influence over the policies of those institutions, their powers need to be defined and constitutionally limited just like any institution of government.

Comment: Amen brother. Keep Jeffy Imelt, Richard the dick Trumka, Andy Stern et al the hell away from the White House.

I think we need to take these people seriously. And by seriously, I mean go out and buy more ammo. Some little occupier d-bag named Harrison Shultz is calling this a revolutionary movement not a reform movement.

Well ok then. Let’s not be like the US government when the jihadis declared war on us and we did nothing. When Harrison mans up and actually starts something, he needs to take a good @$$ whippin’ right then and there. Londoners were looking to buy baseball bats on e-bay while their city burned. We should be ready before the first match is struck.

Just a few things

2011-10-03T08:01:00.000-04:00

Return of the City State
Ever notice how when socialist trouble makers show up, it always in some large city. Worldwide, these mopes seem to gravitate toward large population centers to make their point. You never read about a mob of 20 or so shutting down the ice cream fountain at the Cochran Drug Store in Spillane, MT to protest the owner’s “greed” for raising the price on a Cherry Coke a nickel. I haven’t noticed a mob scene at the federal building in Marcy, OH (AKA the Post Office) where angry Marcyites call attention to the plight of area farmers being hamstrung by a mountain of federal farm regulation.

All of the trouble seems to be in large cities, London, Athens, Madrid, NY City, San Francisco, and elsewhere. And it’s funny that the trouble is caused by people without a vested interest in any particular outcome. They are for the most part what Rush Limbaugh refers to as a “rent a mob.’

Well anyhoo, all of the trouble got me to thinking that maybe we are returning to the days of the old city state where a large local population in a city controls large swaths of land around it. The first map above shows the county by county vote of the 2008 presidential election. Go BIG RED WE WON! Not so fast my friend. The second map shows how the concentration of blue in cities results in blue states. That translates into an electoral and popular vote victory for the P-BO.

A good case in point is OH. It appears that the Cleveland area controls the rest of the state. FL, IN, IL, PA and MN would be other good case studies where the large population centers control the state.

The blue areas on these maps are also probably pretty good bets on where the taxes, crime and unemployment are the highest. And last, they are the areas where, if there is trouble, it is sure to start.

The case for self deportation

When confronted with the BS argument about America’s 12 million or so illegal aliens that, “well, you know, we can’t deport them all,” Lex replies with a theory of self deportation. The illegal aliens got here on their own, once the jobs and benefits dry up, they will leave on their own.

Racist, bigoted, homophobic and Earth Hating Alabama proves the point. When that state passed a tough new state law aimed at curbing illegal immigrants, guess what? The illegals began disappearing from AL schools. Wow, who knew that if you enforced the law on illegals they would move out of the area? Well Lex for one.

Now we’re caught in a game of whack-a-mole. The illegals probably just transferred to an area where immigration laws aren’t being enforced, hopefully San Francisco. Until the feds get serious about controlling the border and enforcing the laws, we are going to continue to be flooded with low skill, poorly educated illegal immigrants who will be exploited by unscrupulous employers.

Dumbest things said recently

The P-BO - America’s gone soft
BS! You can not get up on Mon morning after three days of steady football, baseball and NASCAR and claim that America has “gone soft.” Soft headed for electing a dope president, sure, but not soft in body and spirit.

Nanny State Mayor Mikey Bloomberg - Government’s “highest duty” is to push healthy foods on the citizenry
BS! Hey Mikey head over to N. Korea. They’d be happy if the government would push any kind of food on them. Highest duty is healthy food? Idiot. Ask NYers who lost loved ones on 9-11 if they’d eat McDonalds for the rest of their days for the opportunity to have their loved ones back. Had the government taken its real highest priority seriously, they may still be with us. Idiot.

Rosanne Barr -“I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay… back anything over 100 million in personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of 100 million dollars and if they’re unable to live on that amount then they should go to the reeducation camps, and if that doesn’t help, then be beheaded.”
Now in the first two cases you expect that the guy who said it would know better. In this case, you have no such expectation.

The work the rich are doing, Mzzzzz. Warren

2011-09-30T07:31:00.000-04:00

Some Demo-Dope dope named Liz Warren who is seeking the “Scott Brown seat” in the US senate, let lose these lines last week:

“I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever. No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody.

“You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory — and hire someone to protect against this — because of the work the rest of us did.

“Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless — keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”

I didn’t know who Liz Warren was so I looked her up on AlGore’s marvelous invention the Internet. Here’s her career from Wikipedia:

Warren joined Harvard Law School in 1992 as the Robert Braucher Visiting Professor of Commercial Law. Prior to Harvard, she was the William A. Schnader Professor of Commercial Law at University of Pennsylvania School of Law and also taught at the University of Texas School of Law, University of Houston Law Center, University of Michigan and Rutgers School of Law—Newark.

From 2005 to 2008, Warren and her law students wrote a blog called Warren Reports, part of Josh Marshall's TPMCafe.

Warren appeared in the documentary film Maxed Out in 2006, has appeared several times on Dr. Phil to talk about money and families, has been a guest on The Daily Show,[12] is interviewed frequently on cable news networks,[13] appears in Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story, has appeared on the Charlie Rose talk show,[14] and has appeared on the Real Time With Bill Maher talk show.[15] She has also appeared on the PBS show NOW.[16]

Warren is a member of the FDIC's Committee on Economic Inclusion and the Executive Council of the National Bankruptcy Conference. She is the former Vice-President of the American Law Institute and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She served as the Chief Adviser to the National Bankruptcy Review Commission.

What’s missing? Yeah, a real job that produces something useful or provides an actual usable service. Never had a real job? Why waste your time running for the “Scott Brown seat” in the US senate. You’re presidential material baby.

Warren is being hailed as a great class warfare warrior for “taking it to the rich” in the load of crap above. I was thinking about the obvious rejoinder to Mzzzzzzzzz. Warren’s line of BS that goes like – yeah some nasty rich guy bought the machinery that was made by guys working for some other nasty rich guy, to put down gravel bought from quarry owned by some nasty rich guy who bought more machinery that was made by guys working for some other nasty rich guy so that they could lay asphalt or pour cement that was purchased from some other nasty rich guy who bought more machinery that was made by guys working for some other nasty rich and the same cycle is then repeated for chain link fence, paint, electrical, plumbing and nearly everything that goes into the factory.

Warren would have clueless Demo-Dopes - really, is there any other kind - believe that the peasants got up one morning and decided to pave a road. They toiled all weekend hauling gravel, sand and cement. Then, the nasty rich guy exploited the work of the masses by building a factory at the end of the road the commoners worked so hard to construct. She’s an idiot. In that respect, she would blend right in with the other 98 or so dopes comprising the US senate.

That was the obvious line I was going to take to debunk Warren’s line of BS. Then it struck me. Mzzzz. Warren says in her soon to be classic rant of BS that gets knee deep well ahead of most, “-because of the work the rest of us did.” What Mzzz. Idiot means here of course is actually, “because of the work the rest of us paid for.” Because, as we know by her bio, Mzzz. Warren like her lib bros and sisses has apparently never worked a day in her life at a job that produced something tangible by quitting time.

Yes the rest of us hired rich guys who employed a lot of people to do the litany of things that Mzz. Warren cites in her rant. Where she really fouls up though is using the phrase “the rest of us.”

It struck me. The top 1% of wage earners pay 39% of all federal income taxes. The top 5% pay over 50%. The top 10% of wage earners pay 66% of all federal income tax. Here’s the rub, and this where Mzzz. Warren demonstrates what a complete moron she is, the lowest 46% of wage earners pay 0% of the federal income tax. Not only did they not do the work in Mzzz. Warren's rant, the entire 46% didn't contribute even one dime for the work to be done!

So Mzzz. Warren, it’s not the rich using the roads and bridges “because of the work the rest of us did.” It’s actually the 46% of the free loading population using those facilities because of the work the rich did. Because of (g)assbags like Warren, the 46% will never work to get into the mix or even say thank you to the 54% of us pulling the wagon they are riding so comfortably in. Instead Mzzz. Warren will continue to convince them that they are owed more and more for doing less and less.

The political acid test

2011-09-29T07:59:00.000-04:00

We’ve heard the Tea Party being maligned since they first showed up at a town hall meeting and asked a pol a difficult question. Racist, homophobic, Earth Hating, knuckle dragging morons were the nice terms. Well now there is proof positive that on top of all that the Tea Party is full of STUPID, racists, homophobic, Earth Hating, knuckle dragging morons.

Take that cracker state of FL, they voted for Herman Cain in overwhelming numbers Saturday last. Cain beat his nearest competitor in the delegate count by nearly two to one. If that weren’t crazy enough, a Fox News poll shows Cain has now moved into a statistical dead heat with Perry and Romney at the top of the GOP field.

Apparently, those racist, homophobic, Earth Hating, knuckle dragging Tea Party morons haven’t seen a picture of Cain. He’s black! In fact he’s much, much, blacker than the P-BO! In fact he’s so black, it’s doubtful numbskulls like Slow Joe Biden and Scrawny Harry this war is lost Reid could lay their “clean and articulate” or “capable of dropping the negro dialect” lines on this guy.

So, what is the Tea Party doing supporting a black guy? “Stupid racists” is the only answer. They haven’t figured out yet that Herman is black.

I’m going to introduce a new metric for deciding the Republican presidential nominee. Enough with all of the issues stuff. We pretty much know that anyone in the field would be a 10,000 fold improvement over the P-BO. Yes, that includes Paul and Huntsman.

ASIDE: I saw a bit of Huntsman on Greta last night and for the first time actually thought the guy made good sense, particularly on foreign policy.

So the heck with the issues, besides what I’ve see and read of the debates so far, Herman Cain won everyone of them. It’s on to the real acid test for any political candidate. It’s called the Lex BBQ test. Of the candidates available, who would Lex most like to have over to his home for a BBQ?

Hands down, Herman Cain. Why? Well who the hell would want a politician crashing their BBQ. They’d be shaking hands and asking "how are you doing", but moving on to the next hand before you can answer the question. I believe, Herman would sit down and actually enjoy himself. He just seems like a good guy capable of connecting with real people. That’s probably because he’s one himself. I’ve liked Herman Cain since the first time I saw him on the Neal Cavuto show. A guy that actually answered questions and admitted when he wasn’t sure about something.

Romney would be a good guy to have a private lunch with at a snooty restaurant. Newt would be a good guy to bring into the book club. Perry’s probably a good tailgater. But Cain is the guy I’d like to have sitting at my picnic table. Having beaten the widow maker, cancer, he doesn’t seem to fret over much of anything. I can see him dripping a bit of mustard onto his trousers and laughing about it as he took the next bite. Some of the others would bring the whole thing to a halt while an aide took a dry cleaning stick to the spot.

The last thing on Cain is a policy thing. He’s popular because of his 9-9-9 plan that even the simplest among us can understand. Cain can explain his whole plan in 15 seconds – 9% flat income tax; 9% corporate tax no loopholes; 9% consumption (sales tax) tax. By contrast, Romney’s economic plan is over 150 pages long. I suppose Mitt could simplify the message by calling it his "150 plus plan." Romney starts to explain his plan by saying, “There are seven things that we need to do…” That reminds me of the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back to School. During the oral exam, the antagonist professor says, “I only have one question (Dangerfield’s breaths a sigh of relief) with 57 parts (Dangerfield is crestfallen).” So by the time Mitt gets to the fourth point you can hear the audience zzzzzzzzz, and they can’t remember any of it.

How the "hike" went down

2011-09-28T07:39:00.002-04:00

Ahhh, Haaa! I saw this on Drudge:

"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that."

Suspend elections! That’s Lex’s conspiracy theory # whatever. Now, who said this? One of the cast members from Jersey Shore? Michael, during an episode of The Office? Russian president/prime minister/chief commissar for the politburo for life Vladimir Putin? No, no and no. It was NC Demo-Dope governor Bev Perdue. When questioned about the comment later, she swears she was “joking.” No one laughed. According to those present her voice was level and aside from not being funny, it didn’t appear to be a Slow Joe Biden attempt at humor like the famous, “Stand up Harvey. Let them see you. Oh, yeah. That’s right. God bless you. Well just give them a wave from your wheelchair.” That’s comedy gold right up there at the top, along with them racist, homophobe Earth hatein’ Tea Baggin’ son of bitches can go straight to hell. I’m still laughing.

OK, I’ve had a massive number of e-mails (nearly one) wanting my take on the Iranian “hikers” being freed.

Conspiracy theory #7

At least one of the three was in fact a spy. My guess is it was the chick. Now who she was spying for is anyone’s guess. In today’s world, it could have been the US, Iraq, Israel, Russia or some group inside Iran.

What’s your evidence? Hey this is my conspiracy theory. The whole point of a conspiracy theory is that you can make outrageous charges, but you don’t have to prove squat. But ok, here goes.

It has to be the chick. Why? Well why else would two dudes go hiking on the unmarked Iraq Iran border? Here’s how this whole thing went down.

Sam: Hey Bill, you want to get up early tomorrow and go hiking on that unmarked stretch of the Iranian border?

Bill. You’re out of your mind. STFU.

Sam: Yeah, what was I thinking? What a dumb@$$ idea.

Then, the very next minute:

Mary: Hey, Sam and Bill, do you guys want to get up early tomorrow and go hiking on that unmarked stretch of the Iranian border? I just got a new bra-less tank top and some short, short hiking shorts I want to try out.

Sam: That’s a great idea. I was just thinking the very same thing.

Bill: Heck yeah. I’m in, as long as we can leave early enough to catch the sunrise.

Next, the chick gets out first and pretty much clams up, keeps a low profile and fades away. The guys get out and are yaking up a storm in true Stockholm Syndrome fashion. They are making the rounds trashing the US and anyone else they can for their own stupidity – wait is that strong enough – no, colossal stupidity. No wait still not strong enough. The leviathan of all stupidity. The things that they have said lately give some insight as to why they were on that border in the first place. They’re dopes.

The only way to confirm this theory is if Richard the dick Armitage outs the chick for being a spy and Scooter Libby goes to jail for it.

It is rumored that Sean Penn played a role in their release. Maybe he coughed up the million bucks. If so, way to go Sean. Penn is pretty much a dope, but I admired him when he went to New Orleans to help out after Katrina. I can still see him famously launching his rowboat sans the bung plug. But hey, he went down there in addition to probably writing a huge check. However, none of that cancels out chumming it up with Chaves and Castro. Politically, Penn is as dumb as the three “hikers.”

Ideas for retiring the national debt

2011-09-27T08:29:00.001-04:00

Hold a series of national lotteries.

Sure if we hold a national lottery to retire our debt, 98% of the burden of paying off the debt will fall on foolish people who can least afford it. We’ve all been at the check out at the Stop and Go on the corner of Hucksmif & Corvil (hilarious but DEFINITELY no kids) when some mope dressed in camo and sporting an outrageous mullet buys a six pack of Keystone Light beer, two cartons of cigarettes and $40 worth of lottery tickets with cash and a gallon of milk, a bag of donuts and pound of bacon with his welfare card.

This plan has the added benefit of allowing the P-BO to set up a whole new government entitlement program. The Department of Payoff Equity or DOPE will be established to reimburse mopes who used their rent money to buy tickets. It’s the least we can do after they sacrificed so much.

Sure I’d buy a ticket. But I know I’d have 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chances of winning. And the winner would be Warren Buffet. How could he miss? Here’s a guy who demands to pay more taxes, but for some reason won’t just send the money in, hmmm. He could plop down 5 billion for tickets as an act of patriotism and not blink an eye. With 5 billion in tickets how could he lose?

Declare a national disaster

Americans love to give their hard earned money to people all over the world hit by natural disasters. So, the P-BO could declare an American natural disaster, like the Grand Canyon filling in. Hey, if Hollywood can fake a moon landing they have someone who can photoshop this. Tell Americans it will take 16 trillion to buy enough shovels and hire enough men for this “shovel ready project.” Put Slow Joe Biden in charge of the effort. Set up an account and watch as school kids hold car washes, sell 50 cent candy bars for $5 and go door to door with “Help Dig Out the Grand Canyon” change containers.

Again the burden here falls on the really stupid. I can see Biden and the Congressional Black Caucus being the worst hit here. I probably wouldn’t fall this one but would list it as new conspiracy theory on this page at some point.

Sell Bonds

How did America finance WWII? War bond drives, that’s how. Here’s how that worked. The bond drive chairman would round up the latest war heroes and a couple of top tier entertainers and travel the nation putting on shows. People would give until it hurt. Of course the greatest WWII war bond drive was with a couple of Marines who put up the Flag on Iwo Jima, and were immortalized in Joe Rosenthal’s epic photo while in the process.

So how would this work? Well we’d get some economic geniuses and “budget heroes” like Tim the tax cheat Geithner and Charlie ways and means to cheat the taxman Rangle to travel the country sharing their tips on tax preparations. You get guys Like Scrawny Harry this war is lost Reid to deliver a bit of cowboy poetry about his pomegranate trees and how he made 6 million dollars in profit on a senator’s pay. He can also tell the engaging story about how and why the senate hasn’t produced a budget in going on 900 days now. This is great stuff.

After stem winders by these “budget heroes” you bring out the Hollywood entertainment to get the crowd really jazzed up so they will give until it hurts. You get Babs Streisand to sing “People” who help retire the debt are the luckiest people. You get Tony Bennett to sing “I Left My Brain in the Twin Towers.” The Dixie Chicks close out the extravaganza with there are “Wide Open Spaces” in downtown NY all because of George Bush.

I probably wouldn’t go for this one, but there are millions of brain dead liberals who would, which makes it a good plan in my book.

Just ask people to send it in

The P-BO could go on tv and tell all of those millionaires and billionaires – Buffett, Bloomberg, Moore et al - and anyone else who is complaining about low taxes to just send it in. This hasn’t worked to date. In fact, in Buffett’s case, the creep won’t pay the taxes he owes while asking to be taxed even more. WTF?

Sadly, none of the plans will work. If God himself came down from the Heavens and wiped the debt clean, the 535 would just take it as a sign to continue to spend more and more. We’d be back in trouble by noon the next day.

Here’s the realistic way. Vote as many of the 535 out of office as possible.

Sedition? Only if you oppose a balck man.

2011-09-26T07:46:00.000-04:00

Lex’s conspiracy theory # something or other* predicted the Dopes would turn to social unrest and intimidation as means to suppress voter turnout in conservative districts or have the 2012 election cancelled all together. Is the groundwork for that conspiracy theory being laid by the two Mikey’s and an IA Sen?

The two Mikey’s - Moore and Bloomberg - are predicting violence if the jobs picture doesn’t improve soon. Remember, Bloomberg is the guy who is advocating bringing more immigrants into the country to get the economy moving again. Yeah, weird huh? That’s very counter intuitive. But Mikey B. has made more money than me so what do I know?

The prediction of riots by these two Mikey’s sounds almost like a self full-filling prophecy. Sort of like, “Well we aren’t advocating riots, but we’d certainly understand if you people took to the streets and smashed windows and took things that are not yours. That would be totally understandable. After all the fat cats are getting fatter and you poor and down trodden just want to get the rich people’s boot off thier necks. So yeah, it’s totally understandable for you to riot to get things you didn’t work for. Totally. So…watch out for the totally justifiable riots that may occur.”

Now if you asked the two Mikey’s if they were inciting discontent or rebellion against his own government, the text book definition of sedition, they’d reply, “Oh of course not! How dare you! No more so than Martin Luther King or Gandhi.”

Then after the two Mikey’s urge, uh, er, rather predict riots, you read about IA senator Tom I flew F4’s in Vietnam, no wait it was Japan, an easy mistake Harkin encouraging Demo-Dope supporters that the Dopes “need some of you probably getting arrested for doing things you shouldn’t be doing,” it’s easy to see why the two Mikey’s might have stumbled upon something.

Now if you asked Senator Harkin if he was inciting discontent or rebellion against his own government, the text book definition of sedition, he’d reply, “Oh of course not! How dare you! No more so than Martin Luther King or Gandhi.”

Then you have a couple of hundred NY protesters taking Vietnam war hero Tom Harkin up on his idea. About 80 people in the group were arrested during the Demo-Dope day of Wall St. Rage. Of course when you’re a Demo-Dope and you break the law and get arrested, it’s police brutality. Here’s one take on the “violence”:

"I was shocked because it seemed like one person after another was being brutally tackled, and it wasn't clear why. I was deeply disturbed to see them throw a man and immediately they were pounding on him. Their arms were going back in the air. I couldn't believe how violent five people needed to be against one unarmed man."
Meaghan Linick, 23, from Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Hey! Meaghan! Did you see what happened in London? Maybe the NY cops aren’t going to sit by and watch a bunch of know nothing, do nothing, be nothing oxygen thieves wreck the city.

Now if you asked the oxygen thieves if they were inciting discontent or rebellion against their own government, the text book definition of sedition, they reply, “Oh of course not! How dare you! No more so than Martin Luther King or Gandhi.”

Then, the best guy ever to play an average black guy in the movies, Morgan Freeman, says the Tea Party is going to do whatever it can to get the black guy out. Which black guy Morgan? Holder or the P-BO? Both are threats to the American way of life. Here’s what Freeman said on some CNN talker nobody watches,

“Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.”

Yeah pretty incoherent, but ahh, give the guy a break. He’s used to having other people write down what he’s supposed to say for him. And in the same interview he referred to Mitch McConnell as Mitch O’Connell. Who cares? All those drunk Scott/Irishmen look and sound alike anyway.

If there is violence in America’s cities, it’s all Slow Joe Biden’s fault for not digging up more shovel ready jobs. And wasn’t Biden supposed to be watching the stimulus money to make sure we didn’t get ripped off? Solyndra? Class? Bueller? Anyone? Class? 535 MILLION DOLLAR federally guaranteed loan? Anyone?

Why isn’t Slow Joe being hounded by the press about his incompetence as the stimulus money watchdog?

* You know you’ve gone off the rails when you have so many conspiracy theories that they have to be numbered, and even with that, you cannot keep them straight.

The P-BO: Not so fast on that Palestinian state I advocated for last year

2011-09-23T08:16:00.002-04:00

In a stunning bit of success, the P-BO administration is on the verge of scoring a huge victory in the UN. Through the tireless efforts of the Shrilldabeast and the P-BO, the Palestinians are finally and at long last ready to ask the UN to recognize Palestine as a state member. As GWB might say, “Way to go Barry. You’re doing a hecuva job.”

Conspiracy theory #6

This was all according to plan. The Palestinians would ask for statehood, just as the P-BO said they would when he spoke at the UN a scant year earlier. The administration would publicly wring its hands, then say, “Well a two state solution is the only answer anyway, so we might as well get on with it. It’s sort of like P-BOcare, the stimulus, and gays in the military. It’s going to happen anyway, so let’s have an orderly transition”

Then NY 9 raised its ugly head. Ooops. NY 9 indicates the Jews don’t particularly care for the P-BO anymore. Better shore up what used to be a pretty reliable P-BO voting block and even more important to the P-BO a reliable donor base. So now they are reversing field and opposing the Palestinian’s move for statehood. It’s too late. Embarrassingly, not even a personal appeal from the chief Arab butt kisser and stoop and bow machine can beg or bargain Palestinian leader Abbas out of his plans.

So now the US is in the unenviable position of having to veto in the UN Security Council that which a novice president seemed to embrace and encourage a year earlier. That veto will go on the already long list of grievances Islamo-Terror-Fascist use to blow up school children and pizza parlors. No doubt, in the year 2780, some @$$bag ITF will be flying his Millennium Falcon into the World Space Station because the US vetoed Palestinian statehood in the UN 779 years earlier.

In an earlier time, the US would have gone to Abbas and said, “Look you do what you need to do. But if we don’t like what you do, there will not be one dime in aide from the US less food and medicine, which will arrive in the much less fungible form of actual food and actual medicine. No money. None. Nadda.” Then to Banki Moon, the US UN Ambassador would say, “Look you do whatever you have to do. But if we don’t like what you do, we’re out. No more money for UN Commissions on Human Rights run by North Korea. No money for UN Commissions on Starvation run by Ethiopia. No money for UN Commission on Climate Change run by China. Gone. Over. Kaput.”

And… someone ought to tell Abbas that with statehood comes great responsibility. There’s trash that needs collected, electricity that needs to be provided and security that MUST exist on an international border. Heretofore Hamas could lob missiles onto Israel and the Palestinians could say, “Those crazy Hamas guys. What can you do with those kids?” Once statehood is granted, Israel can expect a Palestinian state to control its border. If it doesn’t, Israel can retaliate against the state and its leadership.

Bottom line: This is an embarrassment to the P-BO. The US will have to veto this effort which will undo all of the Arab butt kissing the administration has done to this point. It could lead to a spike in oil prices and violence.

But in the end, Israel will need to clobber the Palestinians, Hamas, Syria and Hezbollah really good at least one more time anyway.

Last, why are we still wasting money in the UN?

Liar, Philanderer, Cheat lectures Republicans

2011-09-22T08:17:00.002-04:00

Suppose you had a neighbor who lost his law license for lying to the court. Yeah, I know, woooo, whoooo, one less lawyer. Suppose everyone in the area, including the neighbor’s wife and daughter, knew your neighbor to be a crude, philandering narcissist who has had multiple credible accusation of sexual harassment/assault and even rape filed against him. Last, and perhaps worse all, he is a known cheat at golf. He’s an expert with the hand wedge. His deluxe Calloway golf bag is jammed full of every club and golf gimmick he can buy, but the only one he actually knows how to use is the stubby pencil to whip up a respectable score.

Now suppose that neighbor decides he is going to hold a neighborhood meeting to lecture his neighbors on the need to take climate change seriously. Would anyone show up? Not likely huh.

Well Bill Clinton has taken to lecturing the Republican field on this subject as if were AlGore himself. Clinton said of the Republicans:

"I mean, it makes us - we look like a joke, right? You can't win the nomination of one of the major parties in the country if you admit that the scientists are right? That disqualifies you from doing it? You could really help us there."

Well where to begin? First, the entire Republican field, sadly, doesn’t reject AlGore’s cooked “science.” Romney allows for human caused climate change, as does Huntsman. So Clinton is either a liar or woefully uninformed on that. We’re told that Bill is the smartest guy in any room he happens to walk into, so he must be lying. I think that’s something no one could say Bill Clinton was incapable of.

Clinton uses the term “scientist” as if it were a group of the whole without even one opposing voice. 100’s have signed a paper noting their own skepticism about climate change theory in general and the data collection methods used to support that theory in particular. Perhaps you missed this one Bill:

Ivar Giaever, who shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physics for his experiments on electron tunneling in superconductors, resigned on Tuesday from the American Physical Society over the society's official statement on climate change. He objects in particular to the statement's assertion that the evidence in favor of manmade climate change is "incontrovertible."

What other scientist Bill? The ones at East Anglican that have been fudging, lying and just plain making up data about climate change for the last 20 years, those “scientist?” Or our own buffoons (aka climate scientist) at NASA who ran around like Chicken Little while claiming the Earth had warmed a remarkable amount in one year only to discover that they counted the September average twice and omitted October’s reading. Those “scientist?” Or is it the scientist who set up temperature monitoring stations on airport tarmacs and on roofs next to the building’s air conditioner discharge.

But even if the “science” was done scientifically, why would anyone give any more credit to Bill Clinton than your lying, philandering, cheating neighbor in the example above? Maybe, Bill, you should just stick to the liberal meme when someone disagrees with them, "RACIST! HOMOPHOBE! EARTH HATER!!!!" That way you don't have to explain yourself.

The military's new protected class

2011-09-21T08:07:00.001-04:00

Well, finally, an America Mooochell and the rest of us can be proud of. Gays, at long last, can serve openly in America’s military. After 55 years, I can finally enjoy my morning coffee. The P-BO hailed this achievement by dropping these lines:

Today, the discriminatory law known as ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is finally and formally repealed. As of today, patriotic Americans in uniform will no longer have to lie about who they are in order to serve the country they love. As of today, our armed forces will no longer lose the extraordinary skills and combat experience of so many gay and lesbian service members.

Now if I were a patriotic aging, bald, fat guy with gimpy knees, bad eyesight and an ever failing back, I’d sue the military for discrimination “in order to serve the country I love.” I am all of those things, but I actually love the country enough to not place my personal wants and desires ahead of the country I supposedly love.

Even if the P-BO and other Ivy League educated elites don’t not want to admit it, however many gay and lesbian service members are gained through this policy, many times more will be lost because of it.

It is also going to be a legal quagmire. A whole new protected class has been thrust upon the military. I can’t wait for the law suit requiring military chaplains to marry Bruce and Larry at the base chapel. They call it a slippery slope because you don’t stop sliding, gaining speed every inch on the way down, until you finally crash at the bottom.

Our church just ended its 50+ year relationship with the Girl Scouts because of that organization’s insistence that the church chuck 2,000 years of catechism and allow for the membership of lesbians in its troop. Sorry, you join the Catholic Church, they don’t join you. The program for young girls in the parish will continue under a different name. They will have their own fund raiser and we’ll support that with our thin mint money. Geez, I hope they come up with something good, because I really like thin mints.

This is the way it works with tolerant liberals. You tolerate every hare brained socially destructive scheme they come up with or they label you a racist, homophobic, Earth hater.

And so it will be with the end of DADT. It’ll start with mandatory sensitivity training in lieu of combat training. Then the imposition of one of those Lesbian, Gay and Transgender recognition days, which later will become an entire month. These days/months are designed by liberals to raise awareness and build unity. They are for the most part divisive jokes. Like the controversy during black history month where the black cook planned a “black menu” of fried chicken and other stereotypical black foods. She was excoriated for her insensitivity and the menu was pulled. No liberal saw the irony of a black working woman being maligned by the “smart people” in neckties for doing her job during black history month. If she had planned the menu on anyday in May, no one would have said a thing.

Then will come the precepts that will require LGAT to be enlisted, promote and offered key assignments at rates far exceeding their actual numbers in the ranks or society. Discharging one for cause will become impossible. The pressure will be relentless until everyone is required to fallout in lavender fatigues with a pink feathered boa. I predict a steady exodus of career guys at their first opportunity.

Elections have consequences. This is the hope and change 52% of Americans wanted. And they have gotten it in spades. Ooops. Can you say that? No. You can’t. You racist, homophobic, Earth hating bastard.

Tebow driving ESPN mad

2011-09-20T07:30:00.002-04:00

Ahh sports, the great distracter. Time to leave all of the bad news behind for three hours of bone jarring hits, acrobatic catches, how’d he do that runs and heart stopping drives. Time to just leave it all behind, right?

Wrong. The P-BO has been injecting himself into the big games of sport for three years now. And if you’re an ESPN producer, there is no way you can let the Heisman Trophy winning 3rd string quarterback of the Denver Broncos fade into obscurity.

So on Sunday’s pre-game, ESPN did a nice little hit piece Tim Tebow. Center stage of the ESPN piece was this line Tebow delivering this line to group of prison inmates:

"If you have Jesus Christ in your heart, you are going to spend eternity in Heaven. If you don't, you're going to spend eternity in Hell."

That apparently doesn’t sit well with some “comedian” named John Oliver who compares his hate for Tim Tebow with that he holds for Osama bin Laden. Nice John. I suppose Oliver has a life sized poster of Rashard Mendenhall in his office. Oliver asks the question, “What if I don’t believe what Tebow does? I don’t want to be told I’m going to hell.”

Here’s the thing John, if you don’t believe what Tebow does, you probably don’t believe in hell either. So what’s the big deal? In fact John, I don’t know for sure, but I’ll bet the Griffin’s next commission check that you’re one of the moral equivalence guys who are constantly asking, who are we to judge? So what if this guy wants to marry a goat, who are we to judge?

And let me ask you this simple question John, if Tim Tebow KNOWS the only way to salvation is through the Lord Jesus Christ, how selfish would it be of him not to tell others? You have a right to reject the message. You don’t have a right to never be exposed to it. If that were the case, I’d demand every climate change scam artist like AlGore be locked up for violating my 1st Amendment right not to hear BS.

Tebow’s big crime against ESP, Oliver and others was his pro-life Super Bowl ad. Tebow had the temerity to take on the left’s own religion – abortion – front & center on America’s biggest stage. He cannot be forgiven for that. He can’t fade away like the score or so other Heisman Trophy winners who didn’t make the NFL. He has to be hyped by people who then turn around and complain about the hype. ESPN hacks like Merril Hodge, who could not possibly tie a bigger knot in his necktie, attacks Tebow mercilessly. For what purpose? He’s third string! What other 3rd stringer is getting this kind of treatment?

Most rookies, particularly QBs, come into the NFL and are given the let’s wait and see if he can adjust to speed of the game, get coached up on the NFL way, etc. etc. Not Tebow. He comes into the league under a freight train load of hype loaded onto him by the same people complaining about the hype he gets, and then they tell us he can’t make it.

Just to drive ESPN and Merril Hodge mad, I hope Tebow hangs around the league for 15 years as a back up, then wins a Super Bowl as the starting QB. Trent Dillfer?

A picture that may offer insight to our problems

2011-09-19T07:57:00.000-04:00

Occasionally, when I walk into in the kitchen unannounced, I’ll find jr. sitting on the counter listening to his i-pod. Butts off the counter, I demand. Who would want to make a sandwich on that counter if they knew you were sliding your butt across it every morning, I explain. Plus, there are 8 pieces of furniture in the kitchen that are specifically designed for butts. They are called chairs, I go on sarcastically as jr.’s eyes roll up toward the ceiling.

So here’s the P-BO with his skinny butt on a historic piece of government property, the Resolute Desk. If the desk were in a museum somewhere and you tried to rest your weary feet by placing them or your ample @$$ on the Resolute Desk’s top surface, you’d probably be arrested. But rules, decorum, common sense and just the ordinary manners mom and dad taught us are for the Bible totting, pick up with a gun rack driving little people not for the arugula eating P-BO.

Here’s a brief description of the Resolute Desk from Wikipiedia. That’s the cite where anyone can post anything about anyone or thing. So you know this has to be accurate:

Many presidents have used a large partners' desk called the Resolute Desk, so named because it was made from the timbers of the British frigate HMS Resolute. The ship was frozen in Arctic ice and abandoned, but later found and freed by American seamen. It was refurbished and presented as a gift from the United States to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom in 1856. When the British ship was decommissioned in 1879, Queen Victoria ordered twin desks made from its timbers, keeping one and presenting the other as a gift to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880.

Back to the picture, look and you’ll find in the frame at least three pieces of furniture specifically designed for butts. None, it seems, are as comfortable for the P-BO as the surface of a 130 year old relic that signifies, what had been until the P-BO arrived, the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

Ahh, Lex you’re nit picking. Well, maybe. But this picture just screams to me, “Look everybody! I’m sitting on the Resolute Desk, what ever that is. I have absolutely no sense of history, or even a reasonable understanding of the decorum expected of a president while in the Oval Office.”

Then there’s the whole, the White House is the people’s house, thing. Who walks into someone else’s house and plops their butt on their host’s desk?

Last, is there a dress code in the White House? Check out the guy in the jeans and open collar. Now maybe he was called in from vacation during an emergency. But I rather suspect that if there is a dress code, it’s probably a pretty lax one with this bunch. I can imagine aides wondering the halls in tank tops, baggy shorts, flip flops and light coat of oil exchanging hey dudes as they pass one another during the summer months.

So yeah, the country is going off a cliff at 100 miles per hour and I’m interested in this picture. Why? Well this picture tells me a bit of why the country is headed over a cliff at 100 miles per hour. If the P-BO doesn’t even understand the history of the Oval Office, he probably doesn’t understand economics either.

A case for Romney

2011-09-16T07:50:00.001-04:00

First things first. Dakota Meyer received the Medal of Honor yesterday. Read his citation here: http://www.marines.mil/community/Pages/MedalofHonorSgtDakotaMeyer-citation.aspx. The citation is shortened version of the summary of action, which in Meyer’s case probably goes on for several pages.

Now, I’m sure Mark Cuban and dozens of Hollywood moguls are beating down Meyer’s door to get the rights to his story so they can rush into production a movie about our latest war hero. Yeah right. It’s probably more like, “Hold everything Harv! Meyer didn’t rape or murder anyone. He didn’t even flush a koran down the john. He just saved 40 guys on the occupier’s side while dispatching half dozen or so Taliban freedom fighters. I’m not sure America is ready for a film that puts the American fighting man in such a positive light.”

Screw ‘em all. Semper Fi Devil Dog!

I am a conservative. So conservative in fact, that on occasion I make Jim DeMint and Rush Limbaugh look like flaming liberals. So why am I sticking with Mitt Romney. He’s not the most conservative candidate in the race. Perry, Bachmann, Cain, Santorum and probably even Newt are more conservative. Throw out Paul. His isolationist views will get us all killed. Throw out Huntsman. He is too liberal.

Well Mitt, like every other Republican candidate so far, is conservative enough. By degrees, if the P-BO is a candle of conservatism, Romney is the sun. Even Huntsman would be a blast furnace compared to the P-BO.

Romney also has the resource to go toe to with the P-BO. It was said that the P-BO needed to raise almost a billion dollars in his last presidential run because people didn’t know who he was. Now it’s said that the P-Bo will need to raise more than a billion for his re-election because everyone knows who he is. Romney continues to out pace all of his rivals in fund raising, including front running Rick Perry. Romney has also been in the game a long time and has an established ground game in the key states.

Romney is smooth as glass. He is unlikely to ever confuse the birth place of John Wayne with that of John Wayne Gacy. Over two election cycles, I cannot recall even one such gaffe.

Experience is another plus. Romney has taken over flagging ships before in business and the Olympics and set them straight. Sadly, after the P-BO’s 4 year non-stop assault on America, we’ll need someone with such credentials.

Romney has been thoroughly vetted. It is unlikely as the sun setting in the east that any twitter pictures of Romney are ever going to surface. Now is not the time for newbee. Remember the press sat on the GWB drunk driving charge until just 5 days before the 2000 election.

Romney can win. He continues to out pace the others in head to head polls against the P-BO.

If Romney should tap Marco Rubio as his VP, Romney/Rubio would win in a landslide. Marco says he doesn’t want a VP assignment. The elders may have to convince him that he must serve for the good of the country. Republicans need to crack one of the P-BO’s core constituencies. Blacks vote 98% Demo-Dope for no good reason and have been for 40 years. That particular core would be a difficult nut to crack, even with Herman Cain as a VP. Hispanics would flock to Rubio. Rubio also has the benefit of being more conservative than Romney.

Don’t worry about Romney’s Mormon faith. That issue is red herring raised by the media to scare people off. Heck, we just elected a guy with Muslim ties who attended the hate filled church of G-D America run by a racist hatemonger. If that issue ever came up, the easy way to handle it is, “Who would you rather have as president, a God fearing Mormon or a guy who sat in the pew of church for TWENTY YEARS where the Rev? G-Ded America?”

Look if I were the king of the world, I’d make myself President of the US, which would be a more powerful position than king of the world. After that, I’d pick Cheney or Rumsfeld. No one would screw with the US if one of those guys were in the oval office.

I’m not the king of the world. This election is too important, America is in too much trouble not to back a guy who has the experience, resources and talent not only to win but more importantly to fix the dire mess 52% Americans put us in after the last election.

Romney/Rubio 2012.

Time to snitch on a neighbor...again

2011-09-15T08:10:00.001-04:00

I joined the P-BO snitch website attackwatch.com this morning and reported myself: http://lexelibertas.blogspot.com/ takes poor Barry to the woodshed nearly everyday. He likened this website to something the Nazis and commies would do. Ya gotta stop him before the he puts the whole truth out there.

Join and report like all good Nazis and commies. It was a bit over two years a go when the Nazis running the White House launched their wildly famous flag@whitehouse.gov that urged Americans, “If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.” Lex sent in something everyday to that site run with your tax dollars. I intend to do the same here comrades, and like all good commie bastards I expect you to keep an eye on your neighbor. After all, he’ll be watching you. Be especially alert for American flags and those Gadsden flags with the creepy snake on them. They are a dead give away for anti-P-BO activity. It is our collective duty to protect the collective by protecting the party! Or in this case, the party organ, the P-BO. You must comply. The gulag awaits.

How long do you suppose this cite will last? Flood it. Flood it with the P-BO’s own words on shutting down G’itmo, getting the troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Flood it with the truth from as many e-mail accounts as you have available. Do it everyday, twice a day if you think of it.

Corruption

Instead of asking us to spy on our neighbors, maybe the P-BO should be asking his own administration to spy on one another in an effort to stem stupid attacks and pull their collective heads out of their rectums. Now, in addition to the wildly stupid gun walker scandal, we find out that the P-BO and slow Joe chucked 500+ million in stimulus money down a green jobs sink hole in a boondoggle known as Solyndra. The big payoff? A political photo op for the P-BO and Slow Joe.

There’s an old axiom that goes, never attribute to malice that which can be explained away by stupidity. Sadly, with this administration, stupidity seems to be a bottomless pit. There is nothing that cannot be explained away by it when comes to the P-BO and the @$$clowns he chosen to surround himself with.

This is so rich on two levels. First, it demonstrates what scam the whole green thing really is. There they were, the P-BO and Slow Joe touting Solyndra as the be all, end all in green initiatives. They dump 535 MILLION TAX PAYER DOLLARS into it. Now it’s totally bottom up. And no one, absolutely no one from the administration is to blame. Instead they blame…drum roll please…George W. Bush.

Next, it demonstrates what total and utter failure the stimulus was and what waste any further stimulus will be. There’s the P-BO out shouting at college kids “pass this bill” for 447 billion in new stimulus while congress is trying to find out what happened to the last 800+ BILLION in stimulus money.

People from this administration should be in jail on the gun walker case. People were killed because of their incompetence. Where’s Patty Fitzgerald? He locked Scooter Libby up for a process crime in a case where he already knew who had committed the crime he was charged with investigating. But the P-BO’s ATF and DOJ people get PROMOTED for coming up with a hare brained scam that got innocent people killed.

Now Solyndra surfaces, and the administration’s reaction is, “oh well, so sad, too bad, it’s unfortunate 535 MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS were wasted on one of P-BO’s chief campaign contributors. But we got some really neat photos out of the deal”
