Dancing With David Paterson
On MSNBC this morning, New York Times’ Thomas Friedman ditched any remaining credibility he had by declining to answer Joe Scarborough’s question:
“Do you think David Paterson should resign?”
Duh, tough one! The brain-fat and pompous liberal narcissist said he wasn’t going to comment on that. Why not? Was he involved somehow? In his mind, Friedman thinks he’s so important that he can’t even comment on the obvious. As if his words would resound around the world and he would face difficulties in this occupation for commenting. Isn’t that what he is? A commentator?
This is just about as good a scandal as Spitzer and his whores. Paterson has adopted as a protégé a six foot seven body man who likes to beat his “bitches” down. I suppose that Paterson was initially trying to do a “good thing” by helping a young kid very long ago. Unfortunately, the kid was psychologically unbalanced and, now a man, likes to smack women around.
So when one woman presses for a protection order, our second morally degenerate New York governor joins in a pressure campaign to whitewash the offense. State police emissaries are sent. The governor himself makes phone calls. The woman is terrified but no one will listen. The New York chapter of the National Organization of Women, after heralding Paterson as a champion of women’s rights, has to step in to call for Paterson’s resignation.
Meanwhile, smarmy liberal “thinkers” like Friedman are silent on the issue and that’s the big problem with the liberal line these days. It’s bogus, phony, a cover-up.
Democrats Love Our Enemies; Hate Our Friends
In keeping with its policies of embracing America’s enemies and crapping on its friends, Obama and his desperate Democrats in the House of Representatives passed a resolution which condemned “Armenian Genocide” of 90 plus years ago. Will that soon be followed by another resolution condemning slavery and the Jim Crow laws? Or how about another resolution condemning the Walking Purchase which ripped off a good part of the Eastern Frontier in the 1700s?
It’s just sooooo important to recognize that this Congress has its fingers on the most pressing issues America faces.
Alienating the Turks, who have recently increased their support of the U.S. effort in Afghanistan, is just another of the idiotic brain-dead actions of a failed administration. It’s most disgusting, competing with such idiocy as court martialing a U.S. Navy Seal for capturing terrorist scum who tortured, maimed, desecrated, and murdered Americans who freed Iraq from the vicious tyrant Saddam Hussein.

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran
John McCain was singing the right song, at least, upstaging the Obama administration's latest version of Iran Kumbaya. Hillary Clinton finally found her voice in warning against Iran 'becoming" a military dictatorship. Gee whiz! When did that happen?
It's been happening for a long time and these latest paroxysms in which the Iranian Secret Police are murdering people in the streets met with silence from the Obama administration--until Hillary's broadside. But why didn't Obama take the muzzle off her earlier? Or should I say the "burqua?"
General Petraeus now wants to send some kind of signal to the Iran regime Now, it would be nice if the intensely scripted president would chime in, wouldn't it? Or is he still marveling over the wonders he's achieved by announcing "engagement" with Iran?
I don't know, it's typical of Democrats to leave the issue open for the next president. After all, Obama wants the right of condemnation if the Israelis should remind us that top Nazi Amadinajad wants to "wipe Israel off the map."
Frankly, I think Amadinajad is taking it in the nether regions from Hamas, and maybe from the guy who got snuffed out in that Dubai hotel room. Amadinajad would have plenty of reason for getting rid of an old bf. But how's this going to end? Badly, I'm sure, unless President Obama grows a spine....
I guess we shouldn't be too anxious though. The president took only 10 months to decide that General McChrystal needed the additional troops. Now he's sent the 30,000 troops and it already seems to have made a difference. Give him credit, though, for authorizing the additional predator drone strikes...he seems to have got that idea all by himself, proving that his IEP is working just fine.
Things will get worse before the ">Great Deliberator acts to make things better.

Joe Biden's Sin and Public Praying
You may have gathered I could be more religious. Nonetheless, I enjoyed going to the Ash Wednesday service at St. Luke's Catholic church. Being the wonderful person that I am, I had few sins to confess but deposited what few I had in a little fire where we burned them. It was a nice event, and uplifting to see all these people coming together for the 40 days of Lent.
I've always felt that the Catholic Church could have done more than look on as Hitler murdered six million Jews. But I was born to an Italian family and that usually means Catholic. Catholicism is an offshoot of Judaism, and I always felt like I might be comfortable with being Jewish. I like older religions and Judaism predates Christianity by thousands of years. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to go overboard on the "older religion" idea b/c that would mean I am pagan, and like the Romans would worship the usual household Gods. Truth to tell, I think there is an element of paganism in my Italian Catholic upbringing. You've seen the Godfather, haven't you?
What I wanted to talk about was Joe Biden's public posturing with the ashes on his forehead. Yeah, we know, Joe--you're Catholic too. But you must have calculated how beautiful it would look to the left-wing CNN reporters who photographed you standing behind Barack Obama. What a phony, Joe! Even in our ceremony, our local priest admonished against those like yourself who would advertise their phony piety in grand public appearances. Yet, there you were, with the ashes on your head, posing chastely for the cameras.
"Remember man, that thou are dust and unto dust thou shalt return."
Acknowledgement of guilt or of one's sins can lead to a better future so long as it is sincere. However, Mr. Biden seems unable to acknowledge guilt and now claims his administration had something to do with success in Iraq. No one has forgotten that Barack Obama and Joe Biden were the greatest cheerleaders for failure in Iraq.
Obama railed against the surge in too many speeches going back to 2004 when he used the issue to advance his career. Biden, the supposed foreign policy expert, wanted to create three Iraqs: A Shiite Iraq, a Sunni Iraq, and a Kurdish Iraq. I suppose that was so that he could appoint three more ambassadorships for his pals.
And now Biden stands with Catholic ashes on his head and claims that Bush's strategy of victory in Iraq was the Obama administration's "greatest achievement." Asshole blasphemer! Hypocrite! Phony! The Catholic churchs warns against people like you, Joe Biden!

"Family Guy" One Deluded MoFo
I'm neutral about Sarah Palin as a politician but I noticed that she and her family don't have the stink of slick Washington D.C. politicians on them. I like them and I think they're brave. But you'd have to be brain-dead not to come to their defense after that crummy, no-talent cartoon show writer Seith McFarlane of the so-called "Family Guy" hit out at Palin. Not just at Palin, the low-life bastard hit hard on the Palin's developmentally delayed son Trig. Wow, McFarlane has some kind of weird problem, I'd say.
Not only does McFarlane have to beat the woman down, he has to beat her kid down. I'll bet Seth McFarlane wouldn't try beating down Palin's husband, though, because punks don't pick on guys like Palin's husband. He'd probably have some dog-sled tracks imprinted on his face.... at the very least.
McFarlane calls himself an "equal opportunity offender." I"ll bet. Sure, he'll pinion Sasha and Melia in his next episode, just to tweak Michelle. They're not politicians so they're fair game in McFarlane's book. No, that wouldn't be according to type.
With a little luck, maybe "Family Guy" will go after Bill Clinton's daughter nextg. No, he's likely to get a much needed ass-whippin' there, too.
But the smear will have it venom-spewing defenders, like that woman from Entertainment Weekly who appeared on CNN. Even the guy on CNN was revolted by McFarlane's unfunny beat-down of a developmentally delayed kid or "a retard" if you're listening to Rahm Emmanual.

Obama Eschews Grandstanding?
Ironic that a guy who's made a whole life out of "grandstanding" now chides the GOP opposition to his one-party health care bill for wanting to start over.
Starting over would mean that some kind of tort reform gets passed. Add in the ability to buy health care across state borders and then maybe you have the beginning of a bi-partisan discussion.
Obama's too afraid of offending the "lawyer class" who have made tremendous strides in replacing the aristocracy we had in colonial times.
Conservative bloggers like Andrea Tantaros are saying that the Deceptocrats have laid a trap.

Counterterror Chief Takes Critics to Task - WSJ.com
Counterterror Chief Takes Critics to Task - WSJ.comIs Brennan a counter-terror "chief" or a counter-terror "shield"? Brennan's one reason Obama should crack down on marijuana abusers.
Abdulmutallab has only unbuttoned his lip because of the decency and good sense of his family members who requested help from intelligence services. Brennan’s brain is AWOL on this. He puffs a little legalese that “'in FBI custody' means that there's a process then you follow as far as Mirandizing and presenting him in front of a magistrate." Oooh! Maybe they’ll get President Obama’s Webeloes Badge. The AG should have put the terrorist into the hands of the proper intelligence services and provided him a one-way ticket to Guantanamo. In fact, the Obama administration sheltered Abdulmutallab from U.S. Intelligence chiefs.
All this mind-numbing Brennan chatter is groundwork for the administration’s “Let’s Make a Deal” program, soon to be announced. Humane treatment of prisoners is one thing. Imposed stupidity from on high is another.

Democrat Party Guide: How to Capture Bin Laden
Capturing Bin Laden should be easy now that he's weighed in on climate change. Morever, we now know why he's turned into a murderous, violent maniac. It's because he thinks we've raised the temperature on him. It's too hot in Quetta where he's hiding and he's not gonna' stand for a hotter planet. \
So here's what we do. First, we get Al Gore to call for another climate summit. Perhaps we can promise to show an Al Gore climate change special or maybe something from Current TV. We're told that Bin Laden loves Current TV--that's all he watches b/c climate change is such a popular topic there. We could even show a Michael Moore film. Tell him Nancy Pelosi will attend.
Then, when we've got him at the climate change coinference, bingo! We bag him! Maybe we can then negotiate some kind of deal with Bin Laden. Maybe say.... we turn over Gaza to him and promise to replace our motel bibles with the Koran.
It's a win-win situation. We catch Bin Laden and we finally resolve that pesky climate situation. Peace will reign in the world.

Chris Matthews Reminds Viewers Obama is Black!
It was only a moment, but for Chris Matthews, the moment was HUGE! For about an hour, said Matthews, he "forgot that Obama was black!" Wow, who knew? This means that in the twisted Matthews' mind, there was never a chance, until the State of the Union address, for the MSNBC host to think about anything else except that Obama was "black." What an epiphany!
But isn't that typical of a certain kind of liberal? You know the ones--always hurling the racist charge in the Republican direction just to get votes. Vote for Democrats--we're nice white liberals and we need your love as much as we need your vote. Remember that 60s song? "Love me, love me, love me...I'm a liberal."
Well at least the pressure's off Harry Reid. It was Harry who echoed the words of another great liberal, Joe Biden, in telling us that Obama was an intelligent and well-spoken "negroe."

About Face, Eric Holder!
Will President Obama and AG Holder ever emerge from their solipsistic Fantasyland? I doubt it, and if they could, it probably won't be before another terror attack. More and more congress members on both sides of the aisle are trying to stop the AG from transferring the Islamo-nazi war criminals to New York City for trial. Lieberman and Lindsay Graham and McCain have been highly vocal on the subject as are other congress members.
How can Obama and Holder be so small as to be unable to admit an error, especially in the interest of national security. It's not too late to reverse course and most of us would have a measure of respect and a great deal of gratitude in knowing these men do indeed live in the same world we live in...

Man Arrested After Weapons, Map of U.S. Military Facility Seized From N.J. Motel Room - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com
Man Arrested After Weapons, Map of U.S. Military Facility Seized From N.J. Motel Room - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.comIt seems like the FBI is issuing their standard statement every time another terrorist gets arrested. This man is being held under weapons charges and the FBI is still investigating. But why put out the "information" that there are no terror linkis at present? Can't the FBI just say: "We don't know at this time." ????
So what we'd like to know, and which has not yet been addressed, is what military base is the one described in Woodson's maps. Also, where did he get the .50 calibre barrels to modify his rifles? What town was described by the other map? Why the jihadi headgear?
How did he get to New Jersey? Who owned whatever vehicle he was transported in? Why does he want to kill U.S. soldiers? Why can't he be called a terrorist suspect?
Eric Holder, who's side are you on?

Bi Partisan Terror Commission Gives Obama Low Marks -- No B-Plus Here
Colonel Randall Larsen wasn't giving me exactly good news in pointing to the Obama Team's weakness in responding to potential terror attacks. What's to be expected of a White House that grants Miranda rights to enemy combatants an hour after they're captured. It's almost as if they don't want to know. They don't, but I do.
Suppose there's an anthrax attack. Would it take as long for the Obama administration to provide antidone medications as it did to get us some H1N1 vaccines? Duh!
Speaking of anthrax attacks, it's still not been determined if the man the FBI says was responsible had help. There's plenty of indication that he did have accomplices--assuming he's guilty--which is more difficult to prove now that he commmitted suicide. Was it suicide? I suppose so, but with the way the Holder Justic Department operates, it's hard to trust anything they tell us...

Bernanke Fed's Cheap Money Policy Should Follow Him Out the Door
The Wall Street Journal had it right in an editorial of 01/25/10 even if the Senate gets it wrong and confirms Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke for a second term. Ben Bernanke’s chief sin is that he put himself in wing formation with pilots of the doomed aircraft which favored cheap and easy money, zero interest rates, backdoor bailouts, and a huge transfer of public money from Main Street to Wall Street.
The Wall Street Journal correctly points out that it opposed a second Bernanke appointment back in December 2009 when a second term was considered automatic for Bernanke. At that time, Bernanke’s popularity was such that he was believed capable of walking on water, the man who saved the country from what liberals fondly call “the abyss.”
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to convince the millions of people who are unemployed that they haven’t been pushed into the "abyss. What little money they do have doesn’t buy much. Bernanke and cohorts point to a lower rate of inflation as justification for keeping interest rates low, cheapening the dollar. Even while living in an “abyss” however, it is easy to comprehend that a loaf of bread which used to cost $1.00 per loaf now costs $3.50 per loaf. Automobiles that used to cost $3,000 or $5,000 in the seventies now cost $23,000 for the stripped down economy model. That’s the effect of cheap money, and those are the conditions under which the unemployed are living in their economy which “saved or created” 640,000 jobs.
When liberal bloggers speak about how the White HOuse economic team saved the world economy from the "abyss," you should recognize that they are referring to saving AIG, Goldman Sachs, and other major financial giants from "the Abyss."
All Bernanke and others managed to do is shift public monies to Wall Street.

Harry Reid Sound Bites Obama
So now we learn from Democratic Senator Majority leader that Barack Obama doesn’t speak with a “negro dialect” unless he wants to. But didn’t VP Joe Biden already tell us that the President was “clean,” articulate and educated? Who knew?
There’s some good could come of this in that Democrats should honestly acknowledge that they engage in race-baiting particularly at election time when they depict themselves the champions of ethnic minorities and their Republican opponents as closet racists. If any party has kept its ignorant cultural biases hidden, it’s the image conscious Democrats who cannot be honest about their bigotry and must project it onto others in order to expiate it.
But Harry apologized so it doesn't matter...

Ahmadinajad's Tehran Government Doesn't Appreciate John Kerry
You'd think the illegal government in Tehran would appreciate John Kerry's request for permission to enter the country, especially when there are so many common points of agreement. Senator Kerry has given silent encouragement to the Iranian Secret Police as they shoot down protestors in the street. Kerry wants to smooth over any ruffles created by the Obama administration in threatening sanctions as the Islamoi-fascists race to develop a nuclear bomb. Kerry frets publicly that sanctions would only create anxiety for the regime.
"You can't levy sanctions on a country that worries for its future," Kerry believes.
And so Kerry wants to assure the Iranians that his objectives and theirs are entirely congruent, and that they can work together to further embarrass the United States.
What were the Iranians thinking, though, in rejecting Kerry's request for a visa? Are they so enamored of President Obama that they are emulating him in trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Aren't they aware that Kerry is a more effective weapon against Israel than any in the boatload of terror weapons they send in boats to the Middle East?

Clues for the Obama Anti-terror Airport Security Team
Aways willing to help the Obama administration in its fight against "Overseas Contingency Operations," I'm now working for free to provide a profile of people likely to attack school buses, airlines, and nursery schools.
Here are five helpful hints which tell how a terrorist might look like and behave:
1) A terrorist will not present terrorist credentials stamped from Al Qaeda.
2) A terrorist might buy a one-way ticket in 3,000 dollars cash and have no luggage.
3) Terrorists may have dirty underwear.
4) A terrorist may be on the list reported to Nigerian and U.S. authorities by the terrorist's father and mother. Disclaimer: This rule applies as well to countries other than Nigeria.
5) A terrorist might trace his origins to Guantanamo Prison where he has been fed and housed and "rehabilitated" before being released to fill vacant Al Qaeda leadership positions.
Be sure to stay tuned for more helpful hints. Copies provided for free to State Department Officials, to Janet Napolitano, and Obama Counterterrorism Chief John Brennan.

Pressure Mounting to Keep Guantanamo Open
I have a great idea which will solve the Obama administration's problem with housing enemy combatants without risking additional problems for America. Why don't we build a special prison in a special place---the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo, for example-- and we can make it a thoroughly modern and secure facility, the envy of all the world?
What? What? You mean there already is the perfect place for Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and people like Christmas Bomber Abdul Mutallab?
Well then why?...why?....why then are we?....

Obama Administration Proud of Its Security Measures
So after three days, the Obama administration officials are out in force with a MESSAGE! The message is that everything worked beautifully in stopping the Christmas Bomber from taking down a Northwest Airline flight. Oh, really? I thought we just got lucky that the bomber effed up.
Napolitano and Gibbs insist, though, that it was through the clever security schemes of the Obama administration that thwarted a bigger disaster. Wow, thanks, Janet! I really feel like flying now. If this is success, I wonder how you'd define failure.
So the Christmas bomber was on a watch list, bought a one-way ticket with cash and no luggage, and spent most of the flight in the bathroom and yet, magically, the security measures worked? I'm still not getting it. I don't think Homeland Security is getting it either.

Did Congress Just Create the Tenth Circle of Hell?
The Health Care Bill passed the Congress but not without a sort of mordant humor. Most of the belly laughs come as Obama’s representatives in the Congress try to sell the package to the public by appearing on television and telling why ObamaCare, high taxes, congressional bribery, exploding deficits, health care rationing, death panels, different rules for different states, and a bunch of hidden bomblets which have yet to explode are so good for America. So where’s the funny part?
The funny part always comes when Obama’s mandarin of the moment introduces the topic, as Claire McCaskill did this morning on Fox News, by talking about the “previous administration.” This funny part can be recited first, or in the middle, or it can be recited last, but it will ALWAYS be recited. Senator John Kerry did the same when he appeared on the Fox Business Channel today with Don Imus.
The question as to when the Obama administration and its unctuous mouthpieces will take accountability for anything can be answered in this way: “Never.” Democratic Party shills and talking heads are not even embarrassed to recite this Sesame-street level ditty of indictment of the “previous administration.” Is this a case of pervasive and widespread “penis envy” (as Sigmund Freund would call it) that Obama and his staunchest supporters always measure their every action (or lack thereof) against those of George Bush? Democrats have seized the opportunity of open field running to jam a one-party bill down America’s throat, even while the majority of Americans don’t like the way it’s been written, and even less the way it’s been done.
Don’t these glorified sock puppets who appear to rationalize a poor offering realize that the public is angry—after they stop laughing, that is? When are the ObamaCare nanny-statists going to cut the Minister of Propaganda routine and realize that people are not as stupid as the Democrats presume them to be and that they do not like to be misled. “You lie!” said Joe Wilson. A better choice of words might have been: “You fib!” Or perhaps: “You propagandize!” Or maybe “You play politics with human life!” Or how about “You do not believe in representative democracy!” Well, some of those won’t fit on a bumper sticker.
What the Congress passed was a tangle of legislation which will strangle any attempts at clarity or focus upon the aspects of the health care system which really do need “reform.” But to call this “reform” is to call Pol Pot a social engineer for moving urban Cambodians to the country. How can “reform” not apply to doctors hit by extortionist tort insurance payments? How can “reform” prohibit buying insurance across state lines? How can “reform” prohibit buying medications from Canada? How can “reform” involve cutting 500 billion dollars from Medicare benefits just as millions of baby boomers are retiring after paying for it for all their working lives? How can “reform” guarantee profits to insurance and drug companies and their lobbies in perpetuity as a sop to obtain their silence if not their support?
There were about two provisions of the health care which could have been amended under true health care reform and which are in the current bill. Insurance companies will not be able to set maximum limits on coverage of the insured and they will not be able to reject persons with pre-existing conditions from coverage. What we needed was a reform of the catastrophic health care provisions, free market health care, tort reform, and the ability to buy medications from Canada. That could have been done without descending into the labyrinth of Congressional Democrats’ version of health care pork and bribery. What Congress needs to do now is summon the genius of Dante so that this bill, and the people who shoved it down our throats, may be consigned to yet another of his famous Circles of Hell.

Today, We Are All From Nebraska
Yes, it's important to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Nebraska's Senator Ben Nelson who hornswoggled (Nebraska word) the Democrat Congress into paying for all of Nebraska's Medicaid Costs in perpetuity.
And why shouldn't we want to do that? Think of the consequences not doing that--of looking petty, or petulant, or prickly, or any of the other horrible adjectives which begin with a "p."
And wasn't it "'portant" to get a one-party health care vote in the dead of night? Think of the 26 million people who will be left alone, who will not have health care, unmolested by the Big Brother Government. Shouldn't we be glad for them that they won't have to either share or benefit from the multi-trillion dollar pig-in-a-poke Health Care Bill which nobody seems to know much about? And what about the new millions who we are told will be covered, though at third world levels? And why should senior receiving Medicare now not be thrilled with 500 billion in Medicare cuts? Sure, they worked for a benefit that will now be paid for free by the Big Brother government, but so what? It's the Christmas season. 'Tis the season for sharing. And that's why today we are all Nebraskans!

Krauthammer Hammers Illinois Gitmo
Poker-faced Charles Krauthammer's first opening line made me LOL when he opened up on the detainee transfers to Illinois with:
"FINALLY, A REAL JOBS PROGRAM!" he exclaimed.
Just about everyone believes that the Obama administration is making a big mistake in pandering to the loonie left with this decision to close Gitmo. Krauthammer worries, as we all do, that the Islamo-Nazis will be granted even further rights and privileges from the Obama administration as soon as their feet touch the burned ground.
Yet, the myrmidon dweebs of the jackass party continue to trumpet the transfer of these headcutters and attackers of innocent civilian victims as some sort of we'll-show-them kind of dumbshow, a kind of rationale that only makes sense among the minions of adult jejeune prep-school sophomores who hang around the Senate cloakroom giving each other wedgies. Do they really think that Al Qaeda gives a rat's ass about some little dumb-assed Department of Justice Dog and Pony Show?
There's no sense trying a counter-argument to this nonsense. Everyone knows what's going on. This administration speaks in a textbook boilerplate kind of language that defies discussion. Memorization. Repeat after me:
"The Mess We Inherited".... "If we don't get this tax on health care, health care costs will rise dramatically".... "the economy is improving but we have a ways to go".... "we are still in a recession but we're not in a recession"....blur-blur...blah-blah....

Thomson Illinois Becomes Gitmo Prisoner Terror Headquarters
I don't know exactly why I've fixated on Dick Durbin as the ultimate Dunce of Democratic Party Politics. Perhaps because he's from Illinois. Perhaps because his first and last name has an attractive alliteration with "Dunce." No matter the reason, Durbin was on TV today crowing about the jobs the Illinois Gitmo would provide. Yeah, well the jobs are good but it's pretty pathetic that the only kind of jobs the Obama administration can create are prison jobs.
What I'd like to talk about, however, is how stupid are these people who are defending Obama's decision to close Gitmo and bring in the prisoners to U.S. soil. Defenders assure us of the "complete safety" of the move. They tell us of the "Supermax" conditions of tight security, how these prisons are inescapable. Yeah, well that's nice too, but hardly the point.
What I'd like to know is how the Obamanites are going to prevent these murderin' psychotic nazi elite terrorists from communicating with other like-minded creeps inside and outside the prison system. The terrorists are going to be extended rights and avenues of communication that they don't have in Gitmo. In Gitmo, they're cut off. Terror communications go mostly nowhere, though I suspect some news traveled with released Gitmo prisoners.
But in Illinois? Please? Prisoners routinely order hits, and their lawyers (look up Lynne Stewart) routinely carry terrorist messages in spite the law. Thomson, Illinois--The New Al Qaeda Headquarters..

Tales from the Treasury Crypt, with Nancy Pelosi
In a press conference this week, Speaker Pelosi told news people that Democrats would like to rack up a health care plan quickly so that she could give it to the American people as a Christmas/ New Year’s “present.”
She didn’t mention whether she would include a receipt in the package so that we could quickly run back to Customer Service to return it or get something we can actually use—like a tax break to stimulate small business jobs. I expect those lines would be long enough to wind around the world since 54 percent of Americans are against it and only 34 percent for it.
These coming holidays are beginning to look more like the Mexican Day of the Dead, as Pelosi and Reid announce they want to raise the debt limit. As if “astronomical” is too limited an adjective to describe the Slush Fund that used to be the Taxpayer’s Treasury.

New York Governor Joins Ranks of Opposition to New York Gitmo
New York Governor David Patterson joined the growing list of big political players who oppose trying Gitmo prisoners in New York City. Just like Pete Hoekstra, Rudy Giuliani, Peter King, Joe Lieberman, and other prominent figures, Patterson announced that Eric Holder's plan was an idiotic idea. He'll have to go along with it, he acknowledged.
Of course, the whole thing is political farce, worthy of a laugh, if it weren't going to have such dire consequences.

Dick Durbin is a Duncemore
Man, a guy who really doesn't get it is Dick Durbin. He's been put out as a kind of unofficial spokesperson for the administration, a kind of expendable foot soldier, political cannon fodder and a dunce of the first order. Durbin defended the closed door proceeding going on right now in the Senate where another Health Care Bill is being secretly written in accordance with the usual Utopian cant.
On the issue of moving Guantanamo to New York and Illinois, he really doesn't get it. Durbin continues to focus the discussion on public safety of the surrounding community. Blah-blah...the community will be safe...more blah-blah....nobody's ever escaped Supermax..etc...and more blah-blah.... Giving these guys the dais is a sure soporific, the only problems is that you can't afford to go to sleep with these dunces at the helm.
Somebody ought to tell Duncemore Durbin how the prison grapevine works, and how Lynn Lefty Stewart, a New York lawyer, passed along classified information she obtained in the discovery process for a terror client. Durbin's like a retarded elderly family member rejoined from the institution.... smiling and drooling and spewing pre-fab catch phrases.
How the hell did Durbin get to be the number 2 guy in the House? Oh, forgot--they're Democrats.

David Obey (D) Says President's Team Lied about Job Claims
The crack Obama economic team recently published information about jobs on the White HOuse Recovery (ARRA) website and it's full of errors, mistakes, duplicated information, non-existent congressional districts and more. But how else could the administration come up with a canard sufficiently impressive to trumpet that Obama saved 600,000 jobs, except by fudging?
It's pretty bad when Democratic reps have to go public with this embarrassing information but they have to live with themselves. Apparently, that's what prompted David Obey to go public with his criticism of the Obama economic team for coming up with these lies.

Another Day of Waiting in Afghanistan
On the next chi-chi outing President Obama takes to New York City, I'd suggest he get tickets to a Brecht play called "Waiting for Godot." After that, he should see Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Both these plays have to do with waiting, being unable to make up one's mind, and with speaking in riddles.
But I guess the President, by his absurd ten-month long fanciful notions about "re-thinking" and wanting "additional options" has fulfilled his purpose of letting General McChrystal know who's boss. The President's behavior is typical of people lacking confidence in themselves, finding it then convenient to lay a heavy hand on the shoulders of the people who cannot easily speak out for obvious reasons.
Obama wants out. This "strategy" he has of waiting for fate to decide the issue for him is cowardly. Worse, it hurts the troops. Eventually, it will hurt all of America.

Health Care Debate Declared a Great Emotional Drain
The Obama administration is slipping backward as it tries to foist this greatest of all boondoggles on Americans who are worried about job loss, terrorism, and how to cope with household budgets. Almost everyone realizes that we need to remedy problems in the health insurance industry, but who needs this massive restructuring of the American political system and rearrangement of the economy? Only the loony-lefties, who want to pay for it with taxpayer dollars as we march with blindfolds to Obama's promised Utopia. I think, if we look hard, we can find that rarer species, the moderate Democrat, who has not gone over the borderlines of common sense. These are opposed to the pig-in-a-poke plan which comprises 2000 pages and nobody seems to understand. We're not supposed to understand it--we're just supposed to pass it.
We need to start over again with a 2 party system and make the changes where they're needed. Health care "reform" must be tightly focused on weak areas. It must include tort reform which is primarily a dial-for-dollars arrangement which forces doctors either out of business or into low-risk practices where seriously ill patients are refused treatment. We also have to be able to buy insurance across state lines. I've yet to hear anyone offer reasons as to why we cannot do so right now.
Reed, Pelosi, and Obama need to forget about this legislation right now. Start over. Forget the psycho-babble. Do it right.

We also have to be able to buy insurance across state lines. I've yet to hear anyone offer reasons as to why we cannot do so right now.
Reed, Pelosi, and Obama need to forget about this legislation right now. Start over. Forget the psycho-babble. Do it right.

Obama Seeks Gitmo in the Midwest
News reports say that the Obama administration is looking for jail real estate in rural Thomson, Illinois. A prison facility described as "state-of-the-art" by many news organizations may become the permanent facility for terrorist prisoners in that other state-of-the-art prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Plus ca change!....
If that's not ridiculous enough, consider that Dick Durbin and others are pushing the Terror Prison as a jobs program. Durbin told news reporters that the Thomson facility, if used to house Terrorist prisoners, could provide as much as 1000 jobs. Boy, that will cut into the 10.2 percent of American unemployed.
Maybe we can add a few words to the plaque at the Statue of Liberty. You know--"We welcome your poor, huddled, and tired masses....YOUR TERRORISTS and AMERICA HATERS... and so forth.....
The left-wing anti-Bush brigades, who have for eight years obstructed the Bush administration's plans to try KSM and others by military tribunals, miss the point entirely. Even worse, they're working hard to make you miss the point. The Obamanite lefty-lefties blink the line that goes something like how it's impossible to "escape from Super-Max." Of course you might not escape, but you can communicate and do a lot of harm inside. Super-Max inmates can reach out to other prisoners, pass information along through lawyers and visitors, and perhaps even continue to expand, operate and manage organizations.
This news, released just days after Eric Holder's (and Obama's) decision to try Guantanamo prisoners in New York, is probably designed to redirect some of the media focus from other decisions. Call your congressional rep--let them know what you think of a Midwest Gitmo and constitutional rights for Islamic militants who target civilian populations.

Obama Asks for Delay in Congressional Hearings on Fort Hood
President Obama cautions against "political theatre" in asking for a delay of Congressional hearings on the Fort Hood Massacre by Soldier of Allah Hasan. But wasn't the Obama administration handling of the murder and mayhem at Fort Hood the very sort of political theatre Obama cautions against? Against what everyone knew immediately due to Hasan's shouted "Allah Akhbar!" as he pumped bullets into unarmed troops at Fort Hood, the Obama administration warned against jumping to the correct conclusion. Instead, he wanted everyone to jump to the P C conclusion--the wrong one as it turns out.
I can sort of see the reason for Obama's request for a delay. The Army CID needs a little breathing space to get its act together. But Obama has done little to establish credibility with those who question his bona fides with regard to a number of pressing issues.
His dithering on Afghanistan, even after being president for ten months and being thoroughly briefed by the Bush administration, is cynical and dangerous. While Obama dithers, the troops are suffering for lack of support, and the Taliban surges. It seems as if Obama's intent is to let the situation deteriorate to the point where he can sound a retreat.
Obama/Holder's decision to try the Gitmo prisoners in downtown Manhattan is a move both political and dangerous.
Obama's message on foreign policy in general has been amateurish if not destructive. Congress should go ahead with its hearings, as the Obama team routinely suppresses information it doesn't want Americans to know. Congressman Pete Hoekstra and Senator Joe Lieberman recognized the lack of "transparency" for what it is--an attempt to hide from America what it needs to know as it elects its leaders.
If Congress delays its own investigations as a courtesy (even when it receives no courtesy in return), that's one thing. But delaying full investigations into the Hasan affair runs counter to American security interests. It's likely that this president will not become enlightened without more terror attacks, which he seems to be invited by treating terrorist matters as criminal matters.
Not me. I recognize that Nidal Hasan is not at all like the terrific Muslim lady who works so hard and conscientiously for her family at the local Walmart. But these others? They need congress to shine a light on them since only darkness is coming from this administration.

Iran Makes Gift of Weapons to Its Hizbollah Friends
I wonder if the Obama administration is still reaching out to Iran. Gullibility knows no bounds, but at some point it begins to resemble complicity. So the Iranians, who are hiding their nuclear secrets, are continuing their secret war against the Jews of Israel. The latest Iranian shipment of weapons includes Katyusha rockets and land mines, the weapons of choice for the cowardly Hizbolloah, which were intercepted last week by an Israeli boarding party.
What you get mostly from the Iranian "leadership" is lies and denials (as in "we have no undisclosed nuclear intentions facilities.") Or like that young woman shot down in the streets of Tehran by Iranian Secret Agent thugs--Ned Agha Sultan. Yesterday, the word came (as quoted in the Wall Street Journal) that Ahmadinajad's goon squad was still "investigating" the murder . Expect a long, never-ending investigation. Expect the Iranian thugs to be innocent of all accusations.
And now another 500 tons of land mines and rockets delivered by boat through Syria and Egypt so that noble neo-nazi religious Hizbollah can attack Jews in Northern Israel.
Here's the news flash to Obama administration:
Both Hizbollah and the Iranian leadership say the weapons shipments did not originate in Iran. Gee, the Mossad must have planted them. With the approval of the U.S. of course.

Iran: Please Return Our Stupid Student Spies
While President Obama awaits a coombaye moment after reaching out to Iran, the Ayatollahs and Iran's president Mock-Mood Jeremiah-jad are hanging on to a trio of clueless school kids who strayed across the borders. Imprisoned for several months, the kids are being held hostage in an Iranian Uranium Enrichment extortion plot. The leading Paranoid State in the region has moved back to its 7th century roots and insists that the "spies" will be punished.
It's true America's desperate but not so desperate as to hire these pups to glean information that is already widely known. Iranian Islam wants the bomb, probably has the bomb, probably intends to use it to intimidate or incinerate its neighbors.
The Iranian regime is a joke. Unfortunately, the joke doesn't extend to dissenters like young Nida, shot down by Iranian Secret Police thugs during a demonstration. If the Paranoid State of Iran ever let go of its oppressed people for one moment, Mock-Mood would no doubt get strung up by his heels in some public square a la Mussolini.
The sooner the better, but with Obama it will probably be later, after he's out of office. Obama's in a perpetual state of "Waiting for Godot." Somebody ought to clue him in; we're not buying it.

Anita Dunn Checking Out Early from Hotel Obama
Buh-bye, Anita. It was swell hearing that your admiration of Chairman Mao was not exceeded by your admiration for Mother Theresa. We do regret you are so soon leaving the White House as President Obama's communications director. The reason given on CNN is that you are leaving to make more money outside of government than you could by working inside the government. Gee, what about public service? And you only took the job in March! Here it is November already. Seven months have gone by and America is so much better for your service. What did you hope to accomplish in the first place?

Chris Christie Wins Traditional Blue State New Jersey - Associated Content - associatedcontent.comAccording to Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, President Obama was not watching television when Republicans swept two major gubernatorial races. Apparently, his campaign aides were watching however and they quickly dispatched their guy Obama to yet another hurried speech and photo opportunity, this one on Education...with a capital "E." I couldn't figure out any purpose for it except to give the press something else to write about besides the resounding Democrat defeats in Virginia and Blue State New Jersey. Click the headlines for more denial from the White House...

Chris Christie Vs. “Skinny” Corzine & Goldman Sachs
I live in Pennsylvania, one of New Jersey’s neighboring states. With five visits by President Obama to support Corzine’s campaign, would you think the White House was worried about losing ground in the Garden State? New Jersey’s been trued, blued, and tattooed by the Democratic Party for a long time. Taxes are strangling the state, white-collar crime is rampant, and state government is a shambles.
I don’t know how anyone could have voted for Corzine in the first place, but let’s just say they were as deluded by him as they were by Obama. But now the cat’s out of the bag. Corzine’s a loser and he has the Obama taint. It’s all about campaign funds, folks. Corzine’s bought the governorship and it’s time for the next installment. Obama needs the New Jersey juice and comes to mark his territory by peeing on the sidewalk.
The cute Corzine campaign tried to slime opponent Christie by showing this lame campaign ad pointing to Christie’s heft. Yeah, like who’s perfect? Corzine? Just because he does a little geriatric jogging for photo opportunities doesn’t mean he’s fit to run the state.
If I lived in New Jersey, I’d kick Corzine to the curb and vote for Fatty.

THere's no point in Obama's dithering unless it's to develop political cover for some half-measure. McChrystal is his guy. If he's not to trust in the judgement of the general he appointed, then who's Obama listening to? Carl Levin? Rahm Emmanuel? Yeah, well those dudes studied lots of wars, I'm sure, on the pages of the New York Times. This delay on Obama's part is a sick joke. What's Obama going to learn that he hasn't been briefed on already? That Karzai bit was a stall, and now the stall has evaporated. What a limelight seeking, political, dithering mess the stressed troops in the field have inherited in this president! t's this article about?

Gunman Fires On CNN's Lou Dobbs
Is Janet Napolitano worried? Homeland Security's Secretary made big noises about former military troops being body-snatched by "right-wing" militias, but we haven't heard a peep from her from loonies on left who try to suppress Lou Dobbs 1st Amendment rights by gunfire. Didn't they just pass a new "hate crime" rider in the defense bill? Well, ain't this a hate crime?

Karzai Challenger Calls for 'Dramatic Increase' in Troops in Afghanistan - Political News - FOXNews.com
Karzai Challenger Calls for 'Dramatic Increase' in Troops in Afghanistan - Political News - FOXNews.comThe Obama administration should be careful what it's wishing for if it's looking for political cover to wave the white flag in Afghanistan. Administration delay (or dithering) on troop action while calling for new elections in Afghanistan has made Obama look weak and indecisive. Futher, one of the leading challengers to President Karzai is warning of disaster if the new troops are not provided.

Hurry Up and Wait : The Swine Flu Epidemic That Wasn't
Or maybe it will be, yet. I can't recall an era when people were warned off so urgently on the seasonal flu. Thunderous anti-epidemic roars came out of the White House and were transmitted everywhere. Take this one seriously, folks. We're going to save you in this unprecedented era of ObamaCare.
Big problem, though. No vaccine. Lots of schools and institutions gave their staff members dates for the vaccinations, only to cancel at the last minute. A teacher I know heard it over the loudspeaker. Flu vaccinations cancelled until further notice.
The weirdest thing is that DHHS Secretary Sibelius is telling everyone a fairy story about how the companies making the vaccines missed their promised target dates. Three of those companies told CNN they made their target dates, that it was no problem. But thre was a problem in distribution because, unlike other years, this year the government stepped in to help. That's right. The federal government is handling the distribution. And no vaccine. And the waiting. The waiting. And no vaccine. It's rather fortunate the government was exaggerating the threat in the first place. If the flu were as bad as the scare tactics used, or if there were some other kind of major health event(think anthrax), we'd be in deep shit. We're in deep shit anyway with this crew....

New York Times Retraction of Sienna Miller Affairs
The trouble with bottom feeding and the New York Times is that the water can be very muddy. You can't sling mud without getting your face dirty. It's okay to get into celebrity news but papers like the NYT shouldn't hang around under the bedsheets. Celebrities have civil and individual rights--meaning an expectation of reasonable privacy, even in their sex lives. Otherwise you have to print retractions like this one:
Correction: October 17, 2009
An article on Page 4 this weekend about Sienna Miller misstates the nature of the relationships that she had with Heath Ledger and Sean Combs. She was friends with both of them; she did not have romantic flings with either of them.
War Front: Obama Team Launches Against Fox News
Wow, can this administration fight? Or what? President Obama's Revolutionary Guard, led by Messrs. Axelrod, Rahm Emmanuel, and Anita Dunn have pounded Fox News with all the latest Twinkie Artillery in their arsenal. Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod have even discontinued their sophmoric and perennial game of giving each other wedgies to fire fiery verbal fusillades at Chris Wallace, Major Garett, and Carl Cameron.
President Obama has set up another Czar to head the anti Fox News operation--this one is called the "What is News" or "What is a Legitimate News Organization All About?"
Still, there are those even in the most favored media who think Obama's plan of attack on Fox News is firing blanks. Worthy Progressive and former Clinton operative decried the White House attacks on Fox News reporters as petty and infantile when he appeared on the Imus in the Morning program.
Joe Scarborough of MSNBC's Morning Joe program also thought the White House attacks on Fox News was idiotic and dull-witted. It's hard to find anyone, even in the liberal press, who regards the Obama Fox News attack strategy as a viable attack plan.
Nonetheless, the Obama attack plans against Fox have picked up steam among supporters like Al Frankel, Al Gore, and other people named "Al." Liberal bloggers on the Daily Beast and the Daily Kos have taken up the White House cause and promised another staunch defense of the White House strategy.
Will the White House eventually accept that Fox News is real and does, in fact, exist and has an effective and highly professional journalistic team? Not likely. The White House feels it is within their "mandate" to determine what is a legitimate news organization and what is not. Moreover, there's some confusion in the White House communications office between what is editorial opinion and what is news.
You can't blame them--they're new. It's the "mess we inherited" that's at the bottom of their confusion. "Bush-whacked again," they cry.

President Obama Has Time to Dance At Fiesta Latina
I don't mind seeing a president dance with a Latin hottie but I wish President Obama would have waited until he was out of office. The occasion was yesterday Oct 13, 2009 at the Fiesta Latina, and wife Michelle clearly didn't think it appropriate, especically when the loose-limbed prez fell into a little grind and bump routine with Thalia. There was no global warming on wife Michelle Obama's face as it froze into a statuesque and unyield pose as the president took a seat beside her.
The President's sign language was obvious as he fanned his cheek as if the Latina babe singer/dancer Thalia was too hot to touch. Obama looked strained as he tried to smile it all away like an embarrassed school-boy when he returned to Michelle.
I'm glad that Obama is so much more lithe on his feet than George Bush who looked robotic and boxy when he tried it for about half a second during his presidency. But I'll appreciate Obama's dancing more when he stops dancing around General McChrystal's request for more troops.

Terrorism For Dummies: Free Advice for Al Qaeda
If you're planning any terrorist attacks, we would strongly advise you wait until President Obama and the Democrats lift certain provisions in the Patriot Act which will soon expire. You can spend the waiting time collecting additional telephone numbers, because you'll be safe with new numbers after the Democrats go into inaction. After the Obama team rescinds ROVING WIRETAPS which discriminate against hard working terrorists, all you'll have to do to escape detection is use one of your other phone numbers.
Secondly, you are advised to stop registering your organizations under the Foreign Agent Registration Act. We know it is your habit to report to the authorities when you begin operating in the U.S.--by registering under this Act. Keep in mind you can't be required to register unless you are already proven guilty of terrorist activity. Obviously, you can't be proved a terrorist, even if you are one, without registering under this Act. (Note: similar registration requirements which would apply to drug smugglers and dealers are being considered).
Look at your guy, Zazi, who was just arrested for planning an attack on New York City to coincide with 9-11. Had he read our book "Terrorism for Dummies" he would have taken our advice and waited.
An added benefit of waiting is so that Al Qaeda headquarters has an opportunity to regroup after those murderous assaults by American troops in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda headquarters in Afghanistan will support your endeavors, once the Democratic party politicians in Washington have launched their offensive on behalf of World Wide Terrorism, also known as the "overseas contingency operation."

Smart ForTwo Makes a Top 10 List
But that's not always good. If there's someone on your gift list you don't like, buy one of these overpriced death-traps. The car was first in the top ten of Yahoo's Ten Worst Cars ever. It gets 41 mpg, the same mileage you can get from the Ford Fusion hybrid, an attractive mid-sized sedan with decent performance and plenty of features. What? You like the feeling of being crushed under a semi? If that's not enough to worry you, keep in mind that the top-heavy Tinker-Toy comes in a convertible version, perfect for those who love the thrills of roll-over accidents.
