NYT's Preemptive Strike For The Democrats

It is common knowledge that papers such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, etc. are in the bag for the Democratic Party, especially the Progressive wing. That they have so successfully covered their own tracks with the help of the rest of the main stream media is not surprising when one acknowledges that a failure would place the media below whores and drug dealers on the scale of believability. Come to think about it, if a whore yelled fire in a crowded theatre people would run for the doors while simply pooh-poohing a reporter for interrupting the show. Such are the bastard children of Randolph Hearst.

I have always loved politics, especially campaigning or fighting in the trenches as many call it. Politics can be brutal and those that wish for a more civil political discourse are those that don't know history. Maybe they are the ones who do know history which causes them to believe pigs can fly and politicians won't act like humans do when on the edge or backed into a corner. A cornered rat has nothing over a cornered politician.

Having guided many candidates through the ridiculously contorted and disingenuousness of editorial boards I laugh when the media whines of back room deals and conspiracies of politicians though most of the whining is about evil Republicans and laudatory of "change" Democrats and the candor of their leadership. I believe they are just attributing their likeability of Democrats to speaking the same code. Such open Democrat presidents, such as FDR, JFK and William Jefferson Clinton were about as open as an after hours club during prohibition and just as sordid.

Enter the NYT's poorly written and poorly researched piece on John McCain. Was it a preemptive strike to diffuse the accusations of a rumor spreading through the blogs, gay publications and starting to percolate in smaller news outlets across the country? Nothing speaks headline when dealing with a politician involved in limos, drugs and homosexual trysts, but only if that politician is Republican. McCain, a lobbyist who is 31 years younger, trips to Florida and payola in the form of regulatory protection for her client is big tuna for the trolling media. True, the same media went after Gary Hart and his Monkey Shine business in Florida, but Hart was acceptable collateral damage because Hart was no real threat, but McCain could actually topple the Democrat dream team in 2008 thus he is the biggest tuna of this political deep sea hunt.

Is the story about Obama true? That isn't important. What is important is whether the press implies that it is true.

So, is the hit piece on McCain a preemptive strike on McCain because they are trying to protect Obama or is it a preemptive strike on behalf of Hillary Rodham Clinton? I don't know because I am not part of the campaign arm of the elite media.

I really wouldn't be surprised by either scenario. The only thing that would surprise me is if the media stopped being a bagman for the Democrat de jour running for office. So much for idealism in the hard cruel process of making the world a better place. Improving those that do not understand the need is an ugly business, but the New York Times believes themselves up to the task.

Iraqi's Deny Terrorist's Use Of Mentally Incompetents For Murder Attacks

Iraqis sweep up derelicts
The Iraqi Interior Ministry has ordered police to round up beggars, vagabonds and mentally disabled people from the streets in Baghdad to prevent them from being used by insurgents as suicide bombers, a spokesman said Tuesday.

The decision came after a series of suicide attacks, including two female bombers who struck pet markets in Baghdad on Feb. 1, killing nearly 100 people. Iraqi and U.S. officials have said the women were mentally disabled and apparently unwitting bombers.

I think the terrorists have benefited for years from the unwitting and their use of them. Just look at the Democratic presidential primaries. There's a group of half-wits and un-wits and all the other nits one can think of.

The best line I have read in a long while come from Jonn Lilyea of This Ain't Hell But You Can See It From Here in his piece about this article:

Hmmm, “beggars, vagabonds and mentally disabled people from the streets” sounds like hordes of Democrat suicide voters that the Democrats have been recruiting over the last forty years.

Ahmadinejad Crazier Than Baghdad Bob

Ahmadinejad: Israel is a filthy bacteria...

Iran says atomic drive brings powers 'to their knees'...

Next Mahmoud will be screaming "God will roast their stomachs in hell!"

Of course the little guy is trying to live up to the Bob:

"Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury."

"They have invented a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets."

"Israel is a rotten, dried tree that will be annihilated in one storm."

“I warn you to abandon the filthy Zionist entity, which has reached the end of the line. It has lost its reason to be and will sooner or later fall. The ones who still support the criminal Zionists should know that the occupiers’ days are numbered. … Accept that the life of Zionists will sooner or later come to an end.”

"[There is] no significant need for the United States."

“As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map,”

"The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world. "

"Are they human beings?... They (Zionists) are a group of blood-thirsty savages putting all other criminals to shame."

Mahmoud is not quite right in the head. Maybe he has a brain eating bacteria, eh?

Bishy Rowan Gets Support From Islam's Amen Corner Here In America

The lonliness of a fool shouting in the wilderness is only comforted, not cured, by the company of other fools.

Enter the Washington Post, stage left, to soothe the Archbishop Rowan Williams.

Archbishop of Canterbury Was Right
The recent and controversial call by Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, primate of the Church of England and spiritual leader of 80 million Anglicans, for incorporation of Sharia law into British law will not be the last utterance in favor of Islamic law. Nor should it be. The addition of Sharia law to "the law of the land", in this case British law, complements, rather than undermines, existing legal frameworks. The Archbishop was right. It is time for Britain to integrate aspects of Islamic law.
...

That is what Archbishop Williams was suggesting. And wisely so; Britain is no longer simply guided by a Western law born of Judeo-Christian ethics. Its makeup is now much more diverse, and so to must be its moral measurements.

We must diversify our moral measurements? How deliciously relative, especially from the Washington Post which was known as the "downtown Daily Worker" next to its big brother the New York Times, the "uptown Daily Worker". That their Co joined histories underpinning their moral clarity on religion and the law is being used to give voice to an author who believes the West is the cause of terrorist attacks against it and that America is a “Sharia compliant” nation is a contortion that would break an arguement's back. If it had a backbone.

Hillary's Snipe Hunt And Losing An Election

Clinton's Hunting History

Clinton was asked to discuss gun control which prompted Clinton to talk about her days holding a rifle in the cold, shallow waters in backwoods Arkansas.

“I’ve hunted. My father taught me how to hunt. I went duck hunting in Arkansas. I remember standing in that cold water, so cold, at first light. I was with a bunch of my friends, all men. The sun’s up, the ducks are flying and they are playing a trick on me. They said, ‘we’re not going to shoot, you shoot.’ They wanted to embarrass me. The pressure was on. So I shot, and I shot a banded duck and they were surprised as I was,” Clinton said drawing laughter from the crowd.

Hillary, aka Dead Eye Dick, nailed flying duck with a rifle. Uh huh, yeah. Us mere mortals use the more legal, but boring shotguns when duck hunting. Maybe she'll give shooting lessons on the White House lawn every other Saturday.

Clinton’s story led one older gentleman to say, “As long as you know how to use a gun, would you be willing to show Vice President Cheney how to use his?” Both Clinton and the crowd erupted in laughter.

“That was good, that was really good,” Clinton said. “You know I couldn’t believe that, I really thought that I have gotten over being totally outraged by the Bush Administration.”

Clinton continued, “Once he (Cheney) is out of office, the Secret Service is not around to protect people from him. We better be careful about where he goes hunting. Safety protocol would be useful, don’t’ you think?”

Yep, that was a good one Hillary. A real knee slapper, especially for the faux outraged of our nation, but being such an avid hunter (and markesman) you know all about those pesky "safety protocols" for weapons. When hunters don't follow protocol, why, it is just simply outrageous!

Here we just call it gun safety or gun control. It is similar to the control necessary when you are throwing a slider with an ashtray. You didn't have control if you didn't nail Bill right in the head.

Government Knows Best You Moron

'£10 licence to smoke' proposed
Smokers would have to get a licence to light up under the planSmokers could be forced to pay £10 for a permit to buy tobacco if a government health advisory body gets its way.

Professor Le Grand, a former adviser to ex-PM Tony Blair, said cash raised by the proposed scheme would go to the NHS.

He said it was the inconvenience of getting a permit - as much as the cost - that would deter people from persisting with the smoking habit.

"You've got to get a form, a complex form - the government's good at complex forms; you have got to get a photograph.

"It's a little bit of a problem to actually do it, so you have got to make a conscious decision every year to opt in to being a smoker."

It seems there is a '£10 licence fee to think in England these days, but then it's '£10 cheaper to be mentally constipated. Government wide that is quite a saving.

Putin Endorses Clinton?

The former KGB lieutenant colonel appeared to lash out at U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton — a leading Democratic candidate for president — when one reporter quoted her as saying that former KGB officers have no soul:

"At a minimum, a head of state should have a head," Putin said.

"Vlad the Enjailer" isn't exciting sympathy for Hillary for nothing. Could he be showing his affection by picking on her?

St. Valentine Day Scavenger

From Tony Phyrillas' fine blog:

Valentine's Day thieves hit Victoria's Secret at Pa. mall

Police say lingerie lifted from a Victoria's Secret store in southeastern Pennsylvania wasn't just a last minute Valentine's gift.

The theft happened Thursday at Coventry Mall in Chester County, 30 miles northeast of Philadelphia. But police Sgt. Robert Malason says the magnitude of the undergarment grab is "beyond personal use."

North Coventry Township police count up the midday Valentine's Day haul at 250 pairs of women's undergarments including $1,875 worth of thongs and briefs.

Police say two men are being sought.

They're sentences could be brief.

Rowan Is Rowing With One Oar

The gathering storm
An archbishop's outburst highlights a broader crisis in his church

“ANGLICANISM, it seems, is coming apart. It is ceasing to be, it is disintegrating...” Those cheery words, uttered two weeks ago by an American bishop, Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh, drew cries of approval from traditionalists across the world who have little sympathy with the efforts of Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to hold together the 80m-strong worldwide Anglican Communion.

The American prelate went on to predict that out of the fall of the “Elizabethan settlement” (the 16th-century bargain between the Tudor monarchs and England's national church) something truer to Christianity's roots would emerge, presumably based on an alliance between America's conservative minority, the Africans and evangelicals in other places like Australia.

Go here to read the rest. It almost reads as an obituary. Does that mean Rowan gets 72 virgins or a comped date with Sharia?

Finkbeiner 'Too Smart' To Apologize To Little People

Council votes to apologize; resolution aims to squelch mayor vs. Marines flap
Mayor Finkbeiner’s office yesterday released dozens of e-mails sent to city hall showing support for his decision. The office received many more negative e-mails.

During his State of the City address Monday, Mr. Finkbeiner said he would choose to again cancel a Marine training exercise in downtown Toledo, despite the backlash.

Later in the day, Mr. Finkbeiner e-mailed several Marine officers a “formal invitation” back to the city.

“I have further stated my desire to have the U.S. Marine Corp. [sic] conduct training exercises in the city of Toledo, wherever appropriate, with the probable exception of the central business district,” the e-mail said.

Mr. Finkbeiner said downtown, particularly on a weekday afternoon, was not suitable for military staging operations because as many as 14,000 people would have been departing their office buildings at the same time. He also said thousands of schoolchildren would have been transferring buses downtown Friday just as the exercise was to have begun.

I would like to hear from some Toledoans about whether the heavy traffic Finkbeiner is describing is true or not. I have been told that that downtown Toledo is so dead that Hoffa's body could be kept there on weekends without a soul to see it.

Maybe the Marines should do an exercise at the Ottawa County Jail. That way Carty and Amy can kill two birds with one stone by visiting Amy's boy and watching the military exercise to make sure the mean old mawines don't scare anybody unnecessarily.

Gene Nichol Brought Down By A Wren & Sex Work With William & Mary

Gene Nichol made some really poor choices which he compounded with poor decisions, but he's taking his toys home to pout all because of the censorship. Sounds to me like Gene is confusing immature behavior with passionate activism. Either way it will suit him well as a teacher of the law.

Nichol resigns as William & Mary president

Former UNC-Chapel Hill law dean Gene Nichol, a forceful liberal voice and an occasional lightning rod, resigned abruptly today as president of the College of William & Mary in Virginia.

In a letter to William & Mary supporters, Nichol said he was informed Sunday by college leaders that his contract would not be renewed in July. He then decided to step down immediately, and, in a parting shot, said he refused an offer of "substantial economic incentives" to remain quiet about the reasons for his departure.

MEMO:

I Got Yer Multi-Cultured Jesus Right Here

EVEN GOD ENJOYS A GOOD LAUGH!

There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:

1. He called everyone brother

2. He liked Gospel

3 . He didn't get a fair trial

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:

1.He went into his father's business.

2. He lived at home until he was 33

3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his MotherWas sure He was God

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:

1. He talked with His hands

2. He had wine with His meals

3. He used olive oil

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian:

1. He never cut His hair

2. He walked around barefoot all the time

3. He started a new religion

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian:

1. He was at peace with nature

2. He ate a lot of fish

3. He talked about the Great Spirit

But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:

1. He never got married.

2. He was always telling stories.

3. He loved green pastures.

But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman:

1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was virtually no food

2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it

3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do.

Toledo's Finkbeiner Meltdown Continues

Berkeley East; Toledo Mayor Finkbeiner Kicks The Marines Out

You know, Toodeledoo coulda been the prize possession of Michigan. Yes, I meant to say prize possession.

The various surveys resulted in a 50-year dispute over the Toledo Strip, which was only five miles wide at the Indiana border and eight miles wide at Lake Erie. Although it has been reported that no shots were fired, Ohio and Michigan militia units were sent to the Toledo Strip between 1835 and 1837. But luck was on Ohio's side. At the time, the Compromise of 1820 allowed the admission of one slave state for one free state. Michigan and Missouri were to be admitted as states, but only when Michigan surrendered the Toledo Strip to Ohio. The reason? Probably because a Presidential election was coming up. State of Ohio residents could vote, while Michigan Territory residents could not.

Ohio might not feel so lucky now.

No More Clinton Bimbo Eruptions, Promise

Clinton, speaking on WJLA Channel 7 in Washington and Politico.com, also promised there would be no new scandals involving her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

The senator was asked a question from a Politico.com reader in Santa Monica, Calif., who was seeking assurance that "no new business or personal scandal involving Bill Clinton" could erupt if she were in the White House and give fodder to Republicans.

"You know, I can assure this reader that that is not going to happen," she said. "You know, none of us can predict the future, no matter who we are and what we are running for, but I am very confident that that will not happen."

Okay, she promises no more eruptions, but she admits to being merely mortal by saying she can't predict more eruptions won't happen. The empress has an acne problem which seems to erupt at the most inopportune moments because she still dealing with a teenager at home.

Obama Momma's Faux Pas Or Social Blunder

Obama. If one thinks this new-comer is ready is more a statement on the supporter rather than the ever hopeful candidate. That a wife thinks her spouse should use his heart rather than his brain is a traditional faux pas that even Pat Nixon didn't do twice.

Michelle Obama Solidifies Her Role in the Election
On a conference call to prepare for a recent debate, Barack Obama brainstormed with his top advisers on the fine points of his positions. Michelle Obama had dialed in to listen, but finally couldn't stay silent any longer.

"Barack," she interjected, "Feel -- don't think!" Telling her husband his "over-thinking" during past debates had tripped him up with rival Hillary Clinton, she said: "Don't get caught in the weeds. Be visceral. Use your heart -- and your head."

Hillary down for the count? Bring on Obama. The only problem with the Democrat Party is that it is filled with Democrats.

Poor Al Gore

If Al Baby endorses Obama, poor Obama.

Here's a map of where Al has been. If aLgore said Hades is hot, Hell would freeze over, but he'd still make a buck and a headline.

But remember, weather is not climate, but climate is weather. So if you have a lot of cold weather, especially freezing weather, that's Al Gore a climate of global warming made by man and not the earth because Mother Earth is a nice Mother, but one bad mother when messed with. Whatever.

Tom Lantos Is Dead

Rep. Tom Lantos Dies
Lantos Was The Only Holocaust Survivor To Serve In Congress

Lantos, who referred to himself as "an American by choice," was born to Jewish parents in Budapest, Hungary, and was 16 when Adolf Hitler occupied Hungary in 1944. He survived by escaping twice from a forced labor camp and coming under the protection of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who used his official status and visa-issuing powers to save thousands of Hungarian Jews.

Lantos turned 80 on Feb. 1.

Lantos' mother and much of his family died in the Holocaust.

I disagreed with Tom Lantos on just about everything, including the correct time of day, but I never questioned his sincerity or his integrity. It wasn't that Rep. Lantos and I were friends or even that aware of each other personally, but we did talk and faced off in different meetings and hearings. He liked to dislike me and my kind and as I returned the favor, we'd both smile and continue on our paths. He was elected and I was not. He played a much larger role in the pageantry of Washington, but I knew the steam tunnels and how to get documents that some didn't want anyone to have. We were not equals. I just helped my boss be at least as equal, if not more. If I said black, he’d say white, but I liked and respected him as a person.

Tom Lantos had seen the face of the beast and he knew the beast had many faces. He knew that what he saw as a child was still occurring in the gulags of the USSR and the current Russia, in the communist horrors of China and Southeast Asia and the dark continent of Africa. He knew the beast had many faces, many complexions and many justifications, but Lantos fought back with knowledge that only a survivor could possess.

I hope that as his family surrounded him he also saw and was welcomed by those that went too fast before him.

FUGLY

I promise the pain will stop if you stop hitting the wall with your head and viewing ugly buildings.

Toledo's Finkbeiner, Another Loser From Palooser

via Right Wing Champ.

Berkeley East; Toledo Mayor Finkbeiner Kicks The Marines Out

A company of Marine Corps Reservists received a cold send-off from downtown Toledo yesterday by order of Mayor Carty Finkbeiner.

Berkeley in Ohio? Nah, Berkeley has sun and fun. Toledo has been working hard over time without the extra pay by electing nuts to maintain their downward spiral into obscurity from a great city to nothingness. It's a union town. A brother, can you spare a dime type of wet spot in the road that one passes fast to get where they really want to go. It's like watching an old time funeral on grainy film as a guy in a pork pie hat asks you if it's over yet. The town just makes you feel old looking at it.

Carty is just another sad example of those elected to represent Toledo. This guy is a wackjob from the get-go. He's also crossed that normally protective goal post moving line by becoming a disresepectful moron to our good troops.

From the Wikipedia, documentarian of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy:

Toledo restaurateur John Skiadas filed a law-suit alleging that Finkbeiner physically and verbally assaulted him at the Erie Street Market in 2000. The lawsuit was dismissed by Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Charles Wittenberg in 2004.[1][2]

Finkbeiner was the focus of a segment on the Daily Show poking fun at statements he made suggesting that Toledo could be the next Hollywood. During the interview, Carty expressed his ideas while the camera fixated on Toledo's most rundown neighborhoods, contrasting them with the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. The segment aired during the 1997-98 season.

On July 1, 1998, Carty was fined $400 and court costs after pleading guilty to ethics charges when he was Mayor, realized a $10,000 profit from Owens Corning's purchase of his condo, and his failure to publicly report the gain.[citation needed]

He plagiarized a single line in his KICK-OFF speech in 1998.[3]

Finkbeiner suggested relieving the problem of noise complaints from neighbors of Toledo Express Airport by selling homes nearby at low cost to deaf people.[4]

In early 2006, political adversaries scoffed over the Mayor spending $9,996 of city money to complete the installation of shower facilities in his City Government building office. The project was considered "controversial" in part because the shower quote was originally $10,006, six dollars over a threshold that requires approval from City Council. The contractor was able to shave $10 from the project, thus avoiding a Council vote on the proposal. [5]

In 2004, Finkbeiner experienced health problems and underwent bypass surgery.[6]

In May 2006, he called Toledo's African-American Fire Chief Michael Bell “King Kong” at a staff meeting. Finkbeiner later clarified his remarks as relating to the Chiefs physical stature, and Chief Bell has acknowledged in public that he took no offense to the remarks.[7]

In June 2006, Jack Smith resigned from his brief tenure as Chief of Police after what he described as a near-physical confrontation with the mayor after they exchanged words.[8]

In January 2007, Finkbeiner claimed that both he and wife Amy were treated unprofessionally by Ottawa County sheriff's deputies when they tried to visit Amy's son, an inmate, on separate occasions. Amy Finkbeiner claimed she was not allowed to use a ladies' room at the jail, while Finkbeiner said he was denied a chance to visit after visiting hours had concluded. Sheriff Bob Bratton said the deputies were only doing their jobs. [9]

Also, in Jaunary 2007 Finkbeiner and his press secretary were sued by radio station WSPD, claiming that First Amendment provisions regarding freedom of the press were violated when the press secretary forcibly kept a station employee out of a public press conference. Finkbeiner's objection to the employee is that he produces opinions and editorials, and is not in fact a reporter on behalf of WSPD. On January 31, a federal judge granted the station a permanent injunction requiring Finkbeiner and his staff to admit station personnel.[10]

FinkBeiner has also suggested a cafe be built on the Martin Luther King bridge so city employees could eat there while the bridge was undergoing construction. [11]

In August 2007, Finkbeiner was confronted on two occasions by reporters because he parked in a handicapped spot and left his dog in the car during a hot spell. Finkbeiner was ticketed and fined, but denied mistreating the animal.[12]

In February 2008, Finkbeiner refused to let a company of Marine Corps Reservists engage in urban patrol exercises on the streets of downtown as well as inside the mostly vacant Madison Building, 607 Madison Ave. Toledo police knew about the event three days in advance, but it wasn't until the Marines arrived that "the mayor asked them to leave because they frighten people," said Brian Schwartz, the mayor's spokesman.[13]

Anybody that mistreats an animal isn't fit for office and that is overlooking the fact that this man appears to be unfit to walk the streets of any town in Ohio including those streets that our troops were going to train on for future missions to protect us. Maybe from the likes of Finkbeiner.

Buckle Up

Romney Wins CPAC Straw Poll Despite Withdrawing

It's going to be a rough ride. If we can get everybody who has given up and tried to take their little rubber duckies home, this could get interesting.

My favorite documentary, Blazing Saddles, might put it this way:

Howard Johnson:
You know, Nietzsche says, "Out of chaos comes order."

Olson Johnson:
Oh, blow it out your *$$, Howard.

Hillary, you Goldwater girl, you.

Hey Hillary, Pimp Your Mouth

HILLARY TO MSNBC: WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT...

This is a joke, right? Thank God it wasn't a state trooper who made that comment. Hill the pill would've sworn so loud and hit him so hard Bill would've gone deaf and felt the impact.

Wash your mouth out. Jeez, what a court jester you pot callin' kettle.

CPAC

Less than half the day gone and I'm catching my wind. The short version is that I got to speak with Morton Blackwell, a man who has walked the walk on getting things done for years, I also had a brief, but wonderful chat with Phyllis Schlafly (my mother adored her), I spoke with Grover Norquist if only to thank him for his staffs' incrediable help to me while here and many others. I also got to briefly say hi to Ed Morrisey of Captains Quarters. He hadn't the first clue as to who I might be, but he was very gracious.

Ms. Coulter had quite a line for her book signing and the line for Newt's booksigning is already massive and willing to wait.

I'm having lunch.

National Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul

Great cathedrals and small chapels will inspire you as do great thunderous canyons and small rills. Even as I have witnessed the church I was baptized in (twice), grew in, confirmed in, was an acolyte in and left because of my perception of its failing, the National Cathedral in Washington DC, built by man, holds a hope and nod to the glory of God that I wish all could see, if only once.

Even as a child I was mesmoized by the builders, sculptors and caretakers that labored every day to physically raise a temple that showed their praise. I once went to a demonstration of cartooning and the sculpting of gargoyles and an Italian stone artist was asked if his was just a job after 20 years of working on the cathedral. He replied that working for the Lord could never be just a job because it is a joy and a calling. He was hunched with a bad back and arthritic hands and knees and the most sparkling eyes that smiled.

My grandmother once remarked that I was baptized twice just like lettuce is washed twice when one is worried about the cleanliness of it. I loved every inch of that 4' 11" titan.

I went to the Cathedral today. I walked from where President Reagan was shot by that poor demented fool. I walked past where I had once lived. I walked past the school I had sucessfully tested and interviewed with and was to attend, but never did. I dallied in the Bishop's garden and tried to find gargoyles I memorized as a child and finally I went down to the crypts and to the Bethlehem Chapel where we said goodbye to my sister Barbara to sit for a while and remember.

It was bittersweet as all those that have gone before seemed to be there to help me remember including that little titan who considered "Ipocals" heathen. Even those washed twice.

So Sue Me

I'm at CPAC in DC. This is my first trip since my heart surgery and I will admit that I am pooped. Things in DC haven't changed much since I left. As I used to do I took the Metro bus from Dulles to DC, still a deal at $3.10 and still predictable as the bus was 50 minutes late getting to Dulles.

CPAC is not as well attended as it used to be which is an obvious shame. I caught up with some good friends, heard some great speakers and wondered how the excitement I witnessed could be transferred back to the grass roots. I know how it can't be tranferred as I saw empty booths that yesterday contained Romney supporters, people actually dewy eyed over his departure and heard people grouse. If I didn't have such a strong belief in the people of this country I would be depressed, but I refuse to cave in to that feeling. There is too much at stake.

Tonight I had dinner with a group of people that I respect and the discussion was lively, intelligent and a good look at what could be, but there was a new person dining with us who exclaimed that they wanted the Democrats to take the election because then we could blame them and sweep in 2012 because John McCain is such a disappointment. With my usual aplomb and grace I stated that their statement was a crock of crap and if I took that view I would be disappointed in myself for being part of it because losers always lose. I believe even the restaurant staff stopped and stared at me.

A friend sitting next to me said something along the lines of, "Well, you always did say what was on your mind. It got you fired and it got you hired", to fill the volume vacuum and lighten the moment. It turned out the person who had spoken is married to one of the major fundraisers for the Republican Party and as I just shook my head in disgust, they left in a huff. Somewhat still angry I said, "So, sue me" and the table burst into laughter. Many at the table are Buckeye fans so I asked them if Tressel should refuse to go to games if he doesn't get his top recruit and was promptly told that I had gone too far. It was almost enough to make me want to move back to the District of Calamity.

The rest of dinner was a state by state analysis and projected turnouts if this or that occured and those that remained left in better spirits and a little clearer on what needs to be done.

Long day tomorrow and lots of more friends to catch up with.

That'll Wake You In The Morning

From Military Motivator

Obama, Hillary, Whoever, We Can Do Better, But Only If We Think First

Our next president will be inaugurated at a pivotal time in America's timeline. That person, if they have the desire, will and savvy, can avert the next cold war before it begins by learning from the past. America has vaults full of knowledge and background on what it needs to do, but it will be worthless in the wrong hands.

Unlike the last cold war America will be facing two old enemies, Russia and China, that also have learned from their failures, are far richer than before and are still filled with hatred for us, The United States of America.

Putin's New Cold War
Russia may call the shots in its acrimonious relationship with NATO, but the real economic power still lies with the West. "The free market cannot be decoupled from the free society," Mr. Lucas states. As long as Europe and America do not abandon the small, weak states in Russia's sphere of influence, they can prevent the new Cold War from spiralling out of control.

The Cold War was all about beating the Soviet Union at its own game, while keeping a clear sense of the ideological and moral gulf that separated the two systems. The Lucas thesis is in essence a plea for "a renewal of both that moral competition and moral distance."

In the War on Terror, the West's greatest enemy is itself, as in the Cold War. "Until we make it clear that we believe in our own values," Mr. Lucas argues, "we cannot defend ourselves against the subversion and corruption that are leaking into our citadels of economic and political power."
That's the point: we must believe in our own values. If we who have lived by this Judaeo-Christian moral code — including freedom, democracy, and the rule of law — do not proclaim it and fight to preserve it, why should the Russians, who have lived under one form of despotism or another since time immemorial, suddenly adopt it as their own?

Whether it is defending itself against Islamofascism or Putinism, the Atlantic alliance must believe in its own mission before it can win the war of ideas.

Could an Obama who will not salute a United States flag or say the Pledge of Allegiance possibly believe in our values or will the Afro-centric teachings of his church and advisors disallow that? Is it remotely possible that a Hillary Clinton could fill her heart with the love and resolve to defend America at all costs? No to both. Obama won't because of who he is and who we are. Hillary refuses to love anything more than herself.

Adding Islamofascism into the mix of a renewed cold war with puny Putin and whoever hasn't died lately in Beijing is a frightening thought, especially when we the voters are trying to figure out who is the pick of the litter in this presidential campaign.

Obama or Hillary leading with Pelosi and Reid gives me the chills and for you that are pontificating about your dislike of the current Republican Party better get the burr out of your panties and start thinking like adults again.

Archbishop Must Think Sharia Is A Gay Clergyman's Name

Adoption of Islamic Sharia law in Britain is 'unavoidable', says Archbishop of Canterbury

The Archbishop of Canterbury has today said that the adoption of Islamic Sharia law in the UK is "unavoidable" and that it would help maintain social cohesion.

Rowan Williams told BBC Radio 4's World At One that the UK has to "face up to the fact" that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.

He says that Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court.

He says Muslims should not have to choose between "the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty".

Maybe Rowan can get his buddy, the deadly doctor of Syria, President Bashar al-Assad , to get Islam on board for his next secret gay clergy and partners funfest and communion and memorial for Arafat. Then the archbishop of Canterbury can see up close the stark alternatives of having versus losing one's head when gays are introduced to Sharia. Maybe Rowan is thinking of having Canterbury become a haven as a Sharia Free Zone. It's already a Christianity Free Zone.

Hillary Clinton Is Her Own Capitalist Running Dog

HILLARY LOANS CAMPAIGN $5M

Yep, dipping into her robber baron's bank account to rule the little people, but she's really just walking not running and she's not a capitalist. She's just a tired rich old yellow dog Democrat.

Did McCain Violate McCain Feingold In West Virginia?

Are McCain and Huckabee cutting backroom deals in West Virginia to ensure McCain's victory in the Republican presidential primary? What's McCain promising Huckabee for the dirty work is a question that should be asked, but a better question may be what is Huckabee asking for? Whatever it is, it probably is not in the part of the Bible that is teaching good.

Romney camp accuses McCain, Huckabee of shady West Virginia deal

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign accused Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee of “a backroom deal” that gave the early Super Tuesday win in West Virginia to Huckabee.

Romney, who addressed the state GOP convention in person Tuesday, comfortably led the first ballot at the convention, leading to a three-way second ballot contest between the three contenders.

By working together these two campaigns have co-mingled efforts which means they have co-mingled campaign money. Isn't that against the law, not party rules, but against the laws that McCain stamped his name on to make people forget the Keating Five scandel?

I think Mr. Religiousity and Mr. Hero are neither. Shame on both.

Leave the backroom deals to the Clintons.

We Actually Pay For Intellectual Stupidity Everyday

Smokers and the obese cheaper to care for, study shows

Preventing obesity and smoking can save lives, but it does not save money, according to a new report.

It costs more to care for healthy people who live years longer, according to a Dutch study that counters the common perception that preventing obesity would save governments millions of dollars.

"It was a small surprise," said Pieter van Baal, an economist at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands, who led the study. "But it also makes sense. If you live longer, then you cost the health system more."

In a paper published online Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine journal, Dutch researchers found that the health costs of thin and healthy people in adulthood are more expensive than those of either fat people or smokers.

McCain, Obama, Hillary And Coulterites

I've heard what Ann Coulter, Tammy Bruce and others have said about not voting for John McCain if the Senator from Arizona is the Republican nominee. In fact, they say they will vote for the Democrat or this year's Perot wanna-be whether it is Ron Paul or Michael Bloomberg.

Welcome to American politics you morons.

My candidate dropped out and others have implied the media did him in. Doesn't matter. I got over it and I'm no bigger a boy than you. Put your liberal little whiney rags away and act like people that have made America great.

You sound like those that cry "traitor" at Oprah because she is backing a black guy instead of a white woman.

I've had people ask me what Reagan would do. He'd tell you to stop acting like the morons in the 1964 Republican Party that tried to undermine Goldwater before and after his nomination. Those people took their little warm fuzzies back to the country club to sulk. Reagan didn't give them the time. He showed up at the country clubs and gave them a Gipper.

Are you going to wring your hands and wail and gnash your teeth as a Hillary Democrat takes the White House? Oh yeah, I've heard the brilliant words of those who tell us that by doing that we will really show the NRC (and everyone else I suppose you different drummers, you) that they better not screw with the real (silent?) majority. You people must be the ones doing the Ron Paul polls to actually believe you represent the majority because if you do, you've done a piss-poor job of representation. Your majority isn't listening which asks just what service are you doing the nation by helping to elect one of the two most socialist liberal Democrats in the nation to our highest office giving their ilk a leg up in all the other elections being held the same day.

I don't know which is worse, a black racist who is more liberal than Hillary or that Hillary would have to take Bill in and promise not to change the locks again.

When the economy tanks, taxes go up, and families in America, Iraq and Afghanistan have been truly screwed by the likes of Waxman, Kennedy, Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, Kucinich (and the other serving progressives) and Hillary or an Obama you will have really stood up for your beliefs?

As our disgraced and bitter troops are avoided or belittled on the streets of America and around the world I can just see you give that smug look, puff up your chests and say. "If those silly people would have only listened to ME!"

As my boss used to say, "Screw you and the high horse you rode in."

I say, stop acting like you're one of the Democrat Coalition and start participating in our, your, Republic.

Obama, Empty Suits, Empty Seats

You won't see this in most of the news photography, because photographers are packed into press risers, opposite whatever backdrop -- a crowd, a flag -- the campaign prefers.

But while Obama has held some very large rallies in some very small cities -- 14,000 in Boise! -- there have also been quite a few empty seats at some of the bigger venues. (It takes, of course, a certain amount of confidence to stage an event in a huge arena. You won't shut anyone out, but you run the risk of being annoyed by blog items like this one. Obama isn't concerned he'll be seen as having smaller crowds, and where there have been head-to-head crowd counts with Clinton, they vastly favor him.)

An Obama aide said there were 8,000 people in Los Angeles yesterday for a rally with Michelle, Oprah, and Caroline Kennedy, in an arena with a capacity of about 13,000, above.

Here in the Meadowlands in New Jersey today, at the 20,000 capacity Izod Center, about four five of the 28 sections in the lower tier are full, and two more tiers of sections are closed. Hundreds more people are packed in on the floor. The two sets of press risers, of course, face the crowded sections.

At least it's not Hillary's suits. I hope.

Only Nichol's Genes Are Reluctant To Allow That He Might Be With Them

Poor, poor Gene had no such quandary over his decision concerning the crucifix in W&M's chapel though he was reluctant to discuss it. Maybe Gene can reluctantly have "fellatio as art" demonstrations in the chapel, you know reluctantly. Demonstrations of first amendment rights are so hard for educators not to be involved with.

Reluctant Nichol allows sex-workers show at W&M

College of William and Mary President Gene Nichol gave students the go-ahead this morning to hold the controversial Sex Workers' Art Show on campus next month.

In a statement, Nichol said he tried to work with students to hold the event at a venue off the Williamsburg campus.

Students were unable to find an off-campus venue, however, and Nichol said the First Amendment and "defining traditions of openness that sustain universities" required he permit the show be held at the college.

"My views and the views of others in the community about the worth or offensiveness of the program can provide no basis for censoring it," he said.

What right does a community have to judge what is proper in their community? I bet Nichol would censor a discussion of whether community standards are really community standards or an all out assault on the 1st Amendment.

This academic clown should be the current deacon and president of Parsons University, complete with the shark in sun glasses and holding a beer can hanging on the wall behind his Formica desk and glowing statuette of George Washington's father, Plato.

Reluctant? Yeah, enjoy the spinning pasties, Gene. Wouldn't be right to censor those puppies, eh?

Bill Clinton: John McCain and Hillary are 'very close'

I Would Have Paid Large

This is a photograph of Elvis, "I'm Evil" Presley and an under weight B.B. King sans "Lucille" back in the days of white and black cannot be together, but were every night. I played drums five hours a night, five nights a week, under contract for the true pleasure of watching black and white people dance and sway together each night. I felt like a king. It was wonderful.

...

All that racial separation never made the music or my friendships any less.

Of course, if Jessie "I'm a pimp for blackmail" Jackson finds out he'll pay someone to say it wasn't true just to sue somebody or try to blackmail a major corporation to pay to make him go away. He's a street punk with no street. Jessie Jackson is an uptown huckster with no class left.

That's why Jessie Jackson can never sit wonderfully and listen to Mahalia or Mississippi Fred and sip a sip and thank God for what is.

...

Ice tea and the good clean taste of this day are things he doesn't recognize anymore. No field trips on his agenda or those planned by his staff will reacquaint him with the mother that bore him.

...

She must, I think, weep over what a whore he has become as he pontificates each day.

...

I would this very day kill for tickets to listen to BB and Elvis together. It would be like sugar and salt.

Sans Mr. Parker, Elvis would rock still today. BB still does. Cray is sneaking up on him though.

Representative John Boehner And Reading Photos And Body Language

If you believe in this sort of thing then you have to believe we just got screwed. It's not just Harry Reid's smug sagacity, Pelosi's poop eating grin or President Bush's look of sincerity.

It is Congressman Boehner's look. That look tells me we just got screwed. I don't know how, but even without knowing all the facts I know deep in my heart that we are hip deep in doodoo and we will probably never get out of it from the look on John Boehner's face.

If you know Congressman Boehner you'll know of what I speak. If you do not know Boehner, start getting to know him because he is a straight conservative shooter who knows his stuff inside and out. Look at his face.

We. Are. Screwed.

You read it and let me know what I already know.

Why Doesn't Mexico Care For Its Citizens?

Since everyone asks how can America and Americans be so cold hearted about poor Mexicans that just want to be honest citizens by illegally entering our country and either lying or acquiescing in lies to obtain employment just to support their family, I must ask why doesn't your government give a tinker's damn about you, you illegal alien?

Question: Why isn't Mexico taking care of its citizens? Why are we getting blamed because Mexico is not taking care of Mexicans?

We, Americans, send Mexicans 70 plus million dollars in foreign aid each year. Here in America we pay welfare, health and childcare to Americans displaced by illegal alien workers from Mexico billions of dollars in addition to our foreign aid to Mexico.

Also, here in America we pay health care as well as different forms of welfare and other costs directly and indirectly for or to illegal aliens each year. Yep, again in billions of dollars paid for illegal Mexicans right here in America in addition to the foreign aid we send Mexico each year. Doubt it? Visit an Omaha Nebraska emergency room on any Saturday night around midnight when English isn't understood. Or try Ohio, Massachusetts or, oh say Texas, New Mexico, Arizona or California which are states that Mexicans plan to take back into Mexico.

Illegal aliens, who are actually illegal Mexicans working illegally in America, love freedom and our opportunities so much that they send over $8 billion back to the ninos in Sonora. Not any to the IRS.

Now, Mexican politicians are upset that we are trying to protect our borders, jobs, hospitals, tax base and citizens. They are upset because it just isn't fair to Mexico and Mexicans.

Sonoran officials slam sanctions law in Tucson visit

A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on Tuesday to say Arizona's new employer sanctions law will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state.

At a news conference, the legislators said Sonora - Arizona's southern neighbor, made up of mostly small towns - cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers here return to their hometowns without jobs or money.

The law, which took effect Jan.1, punishes employers who knowingly hire individuals who don't have valid legal documents to work in the United States. Penalties include suspension or loss of a business license.

Its intent is to eliminate or curtail the top draw for immigrants to this country - jobs.
The Mexican delegation, members of Sonora's 58th Legislature, belong to the National Action Party (PAN), the party of Mexico's president, Felipe Calderón.

They spoke at the offices of Project PPEP, a nonprofit that provides job retraining for farmworkers and other programs.

The lawmakers were to travel to Phoenix for a Wednesday breakfast meeting with Hispanic legislators.

They want to tell them how the law will affect Mexican families on both sides of the border.
"How can they pass a law like this?" asked Mexican Rep. Leticia Amparano Gamez, who represents Nogales.

"There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in Arizona," she said in Spanish.

"Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems" it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and sending money to their families return to hometowns in Sonora without jobs, she said.

"We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona.
Amparano said the Mexican legislators are already asking the federal government of Mexico for help for Sonora.

Rep. Florencio Diaz Armenta, coordinator of the delegation, represents San Luis, south of Yuma, one of Arizona's agricultural hubs, which employs some 28,000 legal Mexican workers.

"What do we do with the repatriated?" he asked. "As Mexicans, we are worried. They are Mexicans but they are also people - fathers and mothers and young people with jobs" who won't have work in Sonora."

He said the Arizona law will lead to "disintegration of the family," as one "legal" Mexican parent remains in Arizona and the other returns to Mexico.

Mexican politicians are upset that America will not do their job of taking care of their own Mexican citizens? They pull out all the typical liberal crap to emphasize Mexican family, children and kindness without once asking about American families, our children or how far our kindness can be extended. Nor do they want to discuss the criminal aspect of the subject.

The only group more disingenuous than the simpering lying delegation of these Mexican politicians are those in this country that speak to the humanity of legislation only if it appears to unfavorably apply to their allies in crime from any country other than America.

Mexicans, please go home and ask your president and your government why they do not think you are human beings worth helping. Your own government should care a tad more about you than our foreign government.

You illegals, ever wonder why your Mexican government doesn't care about you as a Mexican citizen? It is because your government knows you're an expendable chit that can be spent in America because America will make your government a profit which they will never spend to help you as an illegal alien that risks your life to support a family that the Mexican government doesn't give a damn about.

We are fools. You are fools. Your Mexican government is screwing you blue. Go home and change your government and leave our's alone. I am, in fact we as a nation, are tired of dealing with you and your sorry ass story that is supposed to make us like you. If I showed up in your small village and took your job, got your benefits and had sex with your girl friend, would you like me? Didn't think so.

Don't like it? Too damned bad. Go home.

Now Ohio Dem Leader Needs Ethics Training For GOTV Training

Sen. Ray Miller (D., Columbus), new minority leader in the Ohio Senate after a cloak and dagger peer hall putsch, seems to have some questionable dealings that had some Democrats scratching their heads after they helped him topple Sen. Teresa Fedor of Toodeelydoo.

As to the fundraising efforts of the dozen Dems in the Ohio Senate I would have to assume that only paying less than half your bill will make the ledger sheet appear more robust.

Miller owes Downtown hotel $26,000
Records show that the National Progressive Leadership Caucus, founded by Miller, hosted a dinner at the hotel and was billed $46,278. After an initial payment of $20,000, the remainder of the debt remained unpaid, the records show. Message were left with Miller's office and the hotel seeking further details.

The debt was not listed on Miller's 2007 financial disclosure form for the state, which covered calendar year 2006.

Public officials aren't required to report debt incurred during normal business activities. There is, however, a space on the form for listing all names under which an official and family members do business. Miller did not list the Leadership Caucus there, nor does it appear as a registered corporation, nonprofit or political entity in state or federal databases.

The Center for Urban Progress, which Miller listed as his employer in that year, failed to file its statement of continued existence in 2005 and had its business status canceled, state business filings show.

So the new minority leader started one group, was paid by another and neither are a real business in Ohio. I guess unreal businesses don't have to pay their bills nor do they have to follow the law concerning disclosure because since they're not real then their expenses and other obligations aren't real either. I have to wonder if Rev. Strickland was treasurer or just the financial advisor.

It is going to be an interesting year right here in the heart of it all.

Marcy Morlock's Mortgage Misfire

Marcy Kaptur, our Ohio Congressperson, who as a politically progressive personage believes all Eloi capitalists are evil geniuses attempting to make all others into Morlocks who are only allowed to stoke the fires of hell that power the capitalism that has scorched and devastated our land.

Only, Marcy had the wrong Eloi.

Bernanke's got a sense of humor, and needs it

Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) may want to take a little more time reading the bios of congressional hearing witnesses.

At today's House Budget Committee hearing at which Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is testifying, Kaptur had just asked Bernanke this somewhat mind-boggling question: what did he think of the idea that Wall Street "bankers, fiananciers and board members" who contributed to the subprime mortgage mess be forced to "pay back" their salaries and bonuses to help pay for the economic stimulus package being discussed in Washington. At least she didn't ask him his view on perpetual motion machines.

Leading into her next question she said: "… Seeing as how you were the former CEO of Goldman Sachs…."

"No, no, no, you're confusing me with the Treasury Secretary, said a smiling Bernanke."

In short, Marcy, munchkins are munchkins and not all Elois are the same. Some Elois are created more equal than others. Apparently, so are some Morlocks such as Marcy who helped her "friend" avoid all the mess of a mortgage by buying a house for her.

Ballot Rules Just As Important As Border Rules

I hope this doesn't get Al Sharpton's silk tangerine panties in a bunch over illegals being made to feel illegal:

New rules mean longer lines coming to borders
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff tells critics to 'grow up'

I am sure somebody somewhere will point out that this ruling disproportionally affects women, children and minorities. Nothing says fascist like making an illegal feel illegal.

Question: Will a decreased border boom mean no ballot bonus for Democrats? Or will the Democrats just have a greater cemetery GOTV effort.

Pelosi & Carville's secrete plan: Have Ron Paul run as a Constitutionalist or some such nonsense to drain off just enough votes to offset the loss of the "border vote."

note; It should be secret not secrete, but when you think of Pelosi and Carville secrete works just as well.
