90 Rounds Of Golf Yet Economy Sucks

BLAME BUSH!

Alinsky is weeping at the sheer incompetence. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Not Obama. Not even twice a month. Apparently, not even twice a year. I'm tired. Need I go on? Thank you.

Oh, the economy. Right. Never mind. I'm sorry. FORE!

Why Some Professors Teach Instead Of Do

Remember when one of our profligate professors informed us of the rise of liberal news (actually he hoped for a resurrection) and the demise of Fox News.

NUMBers: CNN's Second Worst Primetime...

FOXNEWS Dominates Year...

When, oh when, will our wannabe liberal, progressive, socialist loser overlords learn to read before they cut and paste (or out-n-out faux plagiarize) from loser sources from Hell? 

Never.

UPDATE: Read the comments to learn how and why conservatives are stupid and liberals are smart, witty and always right and never ever wrong. According to the professor this is scientific fact and since it is liberal "fact" it is always right and never wrong even when it has been thoroughly debunked as tripe. If you don't know it's the professor that's because he keeps using different names, logs in as "guest" or "anonymous" and masks his IP address because stupid conservatives ban him because we're afraid of his "facts." Yeah.

It's A Woman's Woman's Woman's World

BBC names panda 'woman of year'... Well, so much for British beauty.

Reich: Get ready for Obama/Clinton ticket... The equality war is over. This broad will kick his butt. And he will enjoy it. As he has been told. Racists.

James, thank you:

This is a woman's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a man or a boy

She's lost in the wilderness
She's lost in bitterness

I'd vote for the Panda. Even the Panda with the horse face.

Even though Lil Bobby Reich begs me to vote for the midget's midget's midget's world, I can't. The short bus never worked for me.

Occupy's Poop Palooza Heading To Iowa

Occupy activists meet in Iowa, plan caucus events

The perpetually petulant and always smug Occupy crowd is taking their “give us more” message to Iowa and the Republican caucuses.

No doubt they will be warmly embraced as outsiders who have no place there as well as for their tiresome whining. On the bright side is the fact that they are being bused in from the east and west coast which will diversify Iowa with bad accents and bad fashion.

Who knows, maybe they might take a back to nature job shoveling crap, plucking chickens or Porta-Potty delivery and placement.

Bill Maher Is A Sad Little Man

Bill Maher is one of the most estimable humans on the planet. What he considers funny is probably so only to those as low as he. Yep, Bill ain't funny. He's a hater and he makes a lot of money off his hate. He is too cool to believe in anything better than himself. It shows. What a sad little boy man.

A Child Is Born For Us

Typical Travel Day

Got to the airport before the government told me I had to be there. I had the correct number of articles for carry on and no liquids over the mandated danger point. I was rubbed, patted and x-rayed by TSA protected union agents and found to be not a threat. Got to the gate in the correct government allotted time.

My flight has been cancelled.

UPDATE: The Left's Continued Destruction Of Representative Democracy

Via Camp of the Saints

From Christian Schneider, over at The Corner:
Last week, I pointed out that in the ongoing effort to recall Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, any signature submitted to the state Government Accountability Board would be given the presumption of validity. Furthermore, the Board itself won’t be checking the veracity of signatures — they count until Scott Walker’s campaign challenges them.

This came to a head at a GAB meeting on Tuesday, when election officials admitted names like “Mickey Mouse” and “Adolph Hitler” would count toward the 540,000 signatures needed to force a recall election. That is, unless Walker’s volunteers can enter hundreds of thousands of signatures into a database and challenge the fraudulent ones within the ten-day window. (This, of course, assumes that Adolph Hitler is not actually alive, living in Wisconsin, and supporting the recall Walker effort. If he is, the state has a lot more to worry about than protecting union benefits.)
The Mickey Mouse and Hitler hypotheticals are ridiculous examples meant to demonstrate how screwed up the signature verification process is. But, in fact, it’s much worse than it seems. It’s not easily recognizable names like these that should concern Walker. He needs to worry about the fabricated names that don’t stand out, and therefore will be impossible to challenge in a timely manner.

Say, for instance, you’re an elderly volunteer scanning a list of recall signatures. You see the names “Wyatt Donnelly,” “Freddy Newandyke,” “Frances Buxton,” and “Emil Schuffhausen.”
Those names are, in order: The [y are in] in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. But unless Leonard Maltin is scanning those signature sheets on that day, all those names will count.

Also difficult to find will be the people who signed multiple recall petitions. Under the rules, someone can sign as many times as they want, but only one signature will count. It is then incumbent upon the recall target to sift through hundreds of thousands of signatures and challenge the duplicates. One guy boasted of signing up to 80 petitions — meaning, some campaign volunteer will have to play “find the other 79.”

And this is how the unions will attempt to unseat Gov. Scott Walker…

Personally, I think they should be arrested and charged with sedition. 

Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board Is An Ethical Joke

I guess being in the bag for liberal Democrats isn't enough anymore. Now, bureaucrats have to label the bag with their department name.

Signatures of Hitler, Mickey Mouse acceptable on Scott Walker recall petitions

Appropriately the name on the bag is Mickey Mouse.

An 'Ignorant Wingnut Conspiracy Theorist' And The Conspiracy Of AGW Wingnut Theorist's Ignorance

It appears that I, apparently suffering from a “personality disorder,” am an “ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist.” It’s tough work, but I guess someone has to do it, especially when my so-called “theory” is based on the writings of the very scientists acknowledging that they have concocted the fraud called AGW.

It the mind of an ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist, any level of denial and idiocy is possible.  These are the same people who believe in a magical being that rose from the dead and walked on water, yet are in denial of what our best science and military say is fact.    

How about that?    

If that's not a mental illness, I'd say it's at least a personality disorder.  

Enter another "ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist":

What’sGoing on Behind the Curtain? Climategate 2.0 and Scientific Integrity

Which brings us to Climategate.  Climategate parts one and two are a series of leaked e-mails from arguably the most prominent researchers promoting the idea that humans are causing catastrophic global warming. The e-mails show the scientists involved to be violating their professional ethics with the result that climate science in particular and science as an institution more generally is brought into question. 

The first group of e-mails released in 2009 showed scientists attempting to suppress or alter inconvenient data, destroying raw data so that others would be unable to analyze it, using tricks to change reported outcomes, conspiring to avoid legally required disclosure of taxpayer-funded data, and trying to suppress dissent by undermining the peer review process.  On the latter point the researchers involved threatened to boycott and get editors fired at journals publishing findings questioning the urgency of the climate crisis. 

Climategate 2 is a second release of e-mails, in November 2011, from the same cabal of scientists exposed in Climategate 1.  There is little new to the revelations—just more hiding data, trying to figure out how to downplay dissent or have papers that would seem to undermine one part or another of anthropogenic global warming theory ignored or discredited. 

To be clear, these e-mails do not disprove that humans are causing potentially catastrophic global warming. Whether or not humans are or are not, in fact, causing or contributing to dangerous climate change, the only thing clear that emerges from the Climategate e-mails is that the scientists claiming that “the science is settled” and that there is “consensus” among scientists that humankind are acting as planet killers, can’t be trusted, nor can their research be pointed to as solid proof of anthropogenic global warming. 

…

The term skeptic has historically been a badge of honor proudly worn by scientists as indicating their commitment to the idea that in the pursuit of truth, nothing is beyond question, every bit of knowledge is open to improvement and/or refutation as new evidence or better theories emerge.  However, in the topsy-turvy field of climate science, “skeptic” is a term of opprobrium and to be labeled a skeptic is akin to being a heretic in the Middle Ages – you may not be literally burned at the stake, but your reputation will be put to flames.  

The Climategate scientists continue to claim that the actions disclosed are not bad as they seem and that nothing contained in the e-mails is really important. But this is like the Wizard of Oz saying “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,” when in fact the real action is going on behind the curtain. 

Of course, this “ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist” is Dr. H. Sterling Burnett who specializes in Environmental Ethics. As such Dr. Burnett must be suffering from a personality disorder to demand the employment of ethics in science.

I wonder, if Dr. Burnett does not exhibit such hatred as the commenter quoted above exhibits to ideas such as a belief in God, will he be stripped of his title and expelled from science all together?  As political correctness is bureaucratic herding by its very nature Emerson's quote, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" comes to mind since it is foolishly consistent.

Partying Like It's 1633 At AGW Government Subsidized Headquarters

Ah, the supporters of science (that can't believe in science because they don't understand science) will come out of the woodwork like vermin. Again. Why? Because an army of modern day Galileos looked at settled science and unsettled the PC crowd which is making tons of money off of their "green" minions by showing the science isn't settled at all.

Climategate proves scientists are - gasp! - human

The emails also show AGW scientists conspiring to smear those who disagree with their apocalyptic diagnosis of the planetary temperature, and discussing with one another how to hide or minimize contrary evidence and evade lawful requests for their data.

The tables have turned as the status quo is being proven to be no more than a group of money grubbing people using science as their personal taxpayer subsidized ATM. Now it is the secular religion of global warming that must face science. Will they? Sure, if they can turn a profit. They're only human.

It isn't 1633 AD anymore.

Climategate 2: Scientists And Politicians Working Together For The Bad Of All

Climategate 2 Emails Loaded with Bombshells

The news article points out the scientists lied, knew they were lying and that AGW is a lie. Below is a great comment following the article:

George Pops · Troy State

Can we finally agree that the mixing of Politics and Science ensures the death of science and the expansion of politics into arenas where political consideration have no business? Anthropogenic Global Warming is the 2nd biggest story ever told. If you are still a believer you're probably also a boot licker for Obama, or perhaps you've moved your sights upward some.....

AGW: A hoax foisted on us by liars in science and politics for monetary gain, false prestige and control and power. Typical big government type thinkers who are merely small smug self-righteous bullies. 

In short, leftists.

Occupy Potemkin Village

“A lot of this stuff is contaminated with urine and feces and who knows what,” Cmdr. Andrew Smith said.

The Occupy schtick was well planned and coordinated well with an adoring media to appear other than it really is, but in the end Occupy is a leftist modern day Potemkin Village. It is a sham facade filled with the dregs of society to give faces and numbers to a faux movement.

One More Obama Lie Gets Refuted

So many lies led to the office of President of the United States of America for Obama. He lied in his "books", he lied in his campaign, he lied about hearing "God damn Amerika" spoken by a cheap pastor who milked his parish out of millions of dollars to build his mansion. Hell, he lied about writing his "books." Obama, at least the Obama we have been led to believe exists, is a lie. That Obama does not exist.

Re-enter Bill Ayers, rich boy slime bucket, who is the real author of Obama's "books", rich boy terrorist and small boy hero of the whine and cheese country club crowd in the liberal left who want their modern day Che to look just like themselves.

Ayers Admits To Obama Fundraiser That Obama Campaign Called ‘Myth’

Obama has admitted that he was awake enough to hear about and steal Jeremiah Wright's words of "Audacity of Hope" to use for the title of his "book."

How much else has Obama lied about? Besides everything that comes out of his mouth.

WAPO Outsources Dumpster Diving For Dirt On Newt

To keep their hands clean

Maybe because the Wapo is so hard up for money they've cut back on soap and water, so to keep their hands clean they're asking others to do their dirty work. They haven't made it clear if they'll actually verify anything sent to them, but what's different in that , eh?

Richmond Virginia Occupy Gets Support From Mayor And An Audit Of The Tea Party

Via Gateway Pundit

The Richmond, Virginia Tea Party thought it unfair that the Occupy mob got to squat for free over an extended time because they had to pay to hold a rally. $10,000 they paid. Occupy? $Nada. So Richmond Tea Party wrote a letter with an invoice to the Mayor.

In return the Tea Party got a letter from the city:

Yep, Mayor Jones is an Occupy supporter and a Democrat. As is dear Cynthia.

An Open Letter To The Pakistani People

To the Pakistani People,

You are angry over the death of your soldiers in an attack from NATO forces. We are angry that this occurred just as you are. Your forces called in an air strike and the mission went horribly wrong. The suffering of your people, the families of the dead and your nation is understandable. We mourn with you.

There is another facet of this story and it is simple. Your government knew bin Laden was living in Pakistan. Your government also harbors many other terrorists. Many of your citizens also sanction terrorists, terrorism and the mission to kill innocent people as well as those Americans fighting terrorism.

You cannot want peace and sanction murder. You cannot hate us and ignore the actions of your government and civil and religious leaders for they are involved in terrorism. Terrorism is murder.

If you want the killing to stop, stop sanctioning terrorism and the murderers involved in carrying out terrorist acts.

It is that simple. Stop supporting terrorism. Stop supporting murder.

If you do so, the killing will stop and peace and prosperity will come to Pakistan. If you do so, terrorists will know they are not welcome in your country. Until that time, stop blaming America for fighting those that want to kill Americans.

Your acceptance of terrorists and terrorism caused these deaths.

Accept that and you will start the stopping of tragedies such as this. If you do not move to stop the support of terrorists, murderers and terrorism then you will see more death.

It is your call. Make it wisely.

Whoopi. We Have A Bonehead Presidential Expert!

I sure do hope no one will find me racist because I use "bonehead" and Whoopi Goldberg, presidential scholar, entertainer extraordinaire and professional whiner, in the same headline. For those who have never noticed, Ms Goldberg is African-American as she likes to point out.

"Bonehead," Whoopi Goldberg of "The View" said when asked if she had to assign a one-word description to Michele Bachmann what would it be.

"That's what I would say. Oh, stop. Oh, please. Listen, I’m sorry. She looks fantastic, I have to say she's gorgeous. But she's not presidential material. I'm sorry, she's not. I'm just saying. This is my opinion," Goldberg said.

 We, indeed the nation as a whole, should be thankful that we have such an intellect, especially one who is so shallow that all she can see is exterior beauty, who assists us in deciding who is presidential material.

Thanksgiving

Edward Winslow, Mourt's Relation :
"our harvest being gotten in, our governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a speciall manner rejoyce together, after we had gathered the fruits of our labours ; they foure in one day killed as much fowle, as with a little helpe beside, served the Company almost a weeke, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Armes, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoyt, with some ninetie men, whom for three dayes we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five Deere, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Governour, and upon the Captaine and others.  And although it be not always so plentifull, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so farre from want,  that we often wish you partakers of our plentie."

In modern spelling
"our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together, after we had gathered the fruits of our labors; they four in one day killed as much fowl, as with a little help beside, served the Company almost a week, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five Deer, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Governor, and upon the Captain and others.  And although it be not always so plentiful, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want,  that we often wish you partakers of our plenty."

Tony Stewart Wins 2011 NASCAR Championship With Heart And Steel

TONY! The man! He passed everyone, but himself. Twice. The absolute best effort since Million Dollar Bill came from 2 laps down to win the Winston million. Even better than when Harry Gant won Dover being the only car on the lead lap. Even better than when the "Ice Man" Terry Labonte won upside down on his roof sliding across the finish line. Better than when Petty won while Yarborough and the Allisons literally used fists to beat the hell out of each other at Daytona.

And Carl Edwards showed the classiest post race demeanor ever. Good for Carl. Better for Tony Stewart who drove one the the best races ever seen.

Congress Moves To Censor The Internet

Backers defend controversial online copyright bill

The first House of Representatives hearing devoted to a controversial online copyright bill began in an unusual way: with politicians defending themselves from charges that the proposal goes too far.

It's "beyond troubling to hear hyperbolic charges that this bill will open the floodgates to government censorship," Rep. Mel Watt, a North Carolina Democrat, said during a House Judiciary committee hearing this morning.

Claiming that the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, will transform the United States into "a repressive regime belittles the circumstances under which true victims of tyrannical governments actually live," said Watt, a SOPA sponsor.

SOPA, which was introduced last month in the House to the applause of lobbyists for Hollywood and other large content holders, is designed to make allegedly copyright-infringing Web sites, sometimes called "rogue" Web sites, virtually disappear from the Internet.

"The notion that this bill threatens freedom of information is insupportable," said Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the committee's senior Democrat and another SOPA sponsor.

Of course, John Conyers, is the same genius that uttered this comment:

"I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill ... What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?'"

If Conyers will take a test to prove that he actually understands what is in the bill then I’ll let him pass (this time) on arguably being the dumbest member of Congress. Otherwise his support of this or any bill should make every congressman run in the opposite direction.
