What scared the left in America and terrorists worldwide was the success of Democracy in Iraq. Those in the Middle East who are pro-democracy are in a state of disbelief. How could something as hopeful as freedom be dashed by one man so fast, even by a man they supported. Obama has abandoned the promises he made in Egypt to Arabs about democracy and freedom, he has in fact thrown those who believed him overboard to be left on their own after believing the promises of support from American presidents.
Anti-Qaeda Sunni imams slaughtered in Iraq: military
Two Sunni Arab imams were brutally killed on Monday in Iraq, including one who was decapitated and had his head planted on a power pole, in attacks blamed on Al-Qaeda, military officials said.
The slayings in the province of Diyala, northeast of Baghdad, were against anti-Qaeda preachers who regularly railed against the terror network during Friday sermons.
Obama campaigned with a theme that he would bring respect back foreign respect of America. He would make America stand for something good, not evil and bad as the previous administration had done. That Obama created this love deficit out of whole cloth is beside the point. What is the point is that he has made America a country not to be believed by those that want to break the chains of history while maintaining the status quo of dictators, fanatics and self appointed power thugs.
Alas, it is the same strategy he is employing here. Not just broken promises, but promises made that were never intended to do anything more than sound good enough to fool some of the people for some of the time. Time enough to accomplish his hope and change which have little or nothing to do with the hope and change of the people.

We Apologize To China, Will China Boycott Arizona?
Continuing his Rodney King style of foreign policy, the administration once again said to a foreign country, "Can't we all just get along" by announcing we're racists too.
Apologizing For Arizona
He said U.S. officials did not whitewash the American record and in fact raised on its own a new immigration law in Arizona that requires police to ask about a person's immigration status if there is suspicion the person is in the country illegally.
Enforcing the law in Arizona, it seems, is the same as China murdering million, persecuting 100s of millions and indicting people for wanting to be free. At least it seems so in Foggy Bottom and on Pennsylvania Avenue. Not so much her in America, at least the real America.

Obama Signs Press Freedom Act, Tells Press To Buzz off
Is this guy a piece of work or what?
Obama signs press freedom act, declines to take questions
The law requires the State Department to list countries that threaten press freedoms and permit violence against journalists. It "puts us clearly on the side of journalistic freedom," Obama said.
...
"You are free to ask them," Obama said. "I'm not doing a press conference today."
This is just another chapter in Obama's rulebook concerning the press, the people and the plutocracy of power pimps that are sandbagging the White House against the rising flood of anger of the voters.
Look up arrogance and there is a picture of Obama.

Chavez asks Venezuelans to tweet on speculators
I suggest that Venezuelans Tweet every stupid, bombastic lie that Baby Hugo utters. Every dictatorial indiscretion, every ham fisted atrocity and every ugly moment that this buffoon has subjected his citizenry to.
Tweet the fat bast*rd out of office and out of this world. He is sucking oxygen out of the air that good people might be able to use.
What an absolute fool.

STUNNED! San Diego Upset With Arizona Because San Diego Called Arizona Racist
One has to love the thinking of the East Coast and the Left Coast.
San Diego is begging Arizonians, Zonies, not to misinterpret San Diego calling them racists. Oh, and please still come vacation in San Diego you racist pigs.
Some in Arizona canceling trips to S.D.
Outrage over local censure votes may be a misunderstanding
San Diego Councilwoman Donna Frye said she believes some Arizona residents are acting out of a misunderstanding.
“The City Council did not pass a resolution boycotting Arizona, and I would hope that the good citizens of Arizona understand that and will continue to visit San Diego,” Frye said.
School board President Shelia Jackson said that while she was disappointed to hear of people opting to stay away from San Diego, she doesn’t regret her vote.
“It’s sad that people would cancel their plans to come here in reaction to that, but I still think we did the right thing,” Jackson said. “Certainly, we know how important tourism is to San Diego, and it wasn’t my intent to impact the tourism trade.”
As I taught my children, words have meaning and actions cause reaction. It's about time the PC police learn that when they spout off what they think is popular it will cause a reation, especially when it may be popular, but stupidly wrong..
I love San Diego, but I cannot conceive of why I would go there now. So, San Diego, you can plan on me taking my extended family elsewhere this year to a new and really nice resort. BTW, it isn't in California nor any of its fellow traveler states in the PC Brigade.

16 companies comply with New York City mayor's intrusive efforts to control what you eat
Despite challenges from the scientific community, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg remains undaunted in his efforts to force New Yorkers to cut down on their salt intake. His latest maneuver announced on Monday was to persuade 16 food manufacturers and food service vendors—among them Starbucks, Heinz, and Subway—to agree to reduce the salt content in their products by 25 percent.
But, but, but...
Bloomberg and his allies, who never let facts get in the way of what they want, aren't going to stop with their salt crusade. The need to control is in their blood, but unlike salt, cannot be measured by science.
Why is a billionaire mommy maniac from New York City able to control what America eats? Why do we allow it?

Obama: Oil Leak Bush's Fault. Surprise!
Minutes ago, in his press conference to outline what his administration will do to assist in cleaning up the oil floating in the Gulf of Mexico President Obama decided that once again that any problem is somebody else's fault.
After listing the faults of the cozy relationship between government officials and oil companies Obama stated enough is enough and this will end immediately. He then stated that none of this was Ken Salazar's fault because Salazar, Secretary of the Interior, has only been in place for over a year, so now Obama will support Salazar. About time, eh?
Immediately, 30 day inspections of all deep drilling rigs will begin!
Recap: It's Bush's fault, but there is no rest for the weary, Obama to the rescue. A day late (actually weeks) and a dollar short (we have money left?). Once again Obama took no questions.
Wow! I'm glad I waited, as usual, for the president to address the nation. I feel so much better.

'Eat Sh*t And Die' Principle At Coconut Grove Elementary Defended By Superintendent
This is how NEA/union leaders surround the wagons when parents want to be part of their children's education. Something the NEA cannot allow because they, their union and the government know so much better than any parent.
Coconut Grove Elementary principal under fire for obscene e-mail sent to parent
Schuster said the incident was "unfortunate" because "this principal has been an excellent administrator at this school and has a very good performance record."

Hey Wall Street, You Suck. No! No, My Aide Handles Checks
After beating up Wall Street 'fat cats,' President Obama ready to take their money in NY fund-raiser
The high-dollar affair will feature fine French food, a bevy of Wall Street titans and 23 Congress members - including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat. Trash talk the wealthy, those that make money, in fact, trash those that actually produce, make payrolls and work for what they make and then not only ask, but expect their money to support you.
Did Obama have the Presidential Suite to relax in? Maybe the Imperial Suite. Did the Democrat members of Congress snap up the Grand Luxe Room or the Madison Suite to make calls while their staff checked the official Blackberry for messages? Maybe they just went plebeian with Superior Rooms for a mere $995.00 a day.
It may seem that the meal is over because of the time until the next plate, but the main course is coming. Also, this would be a good time to stop taking other guests wine and swilling it down with a burp. There is more wine coming to especially blend with and compliment (yes, C-O-M-P, never mind, it means something good) the main course. If the main course is served in the French style with wrappings to cover the end of bones, such as a Crown Rib Roast, do not comment on the cute "bone app-a-teet" chef hats. Many of the guests will not understand your wit. To better assist in your dining pleasure, it is suggested that you wait a bit to begin eating. That way you can watch the other guests to guide you to which fork and knife to use.
Okay, now it's time for dessert. No, no wine, but there will be a digestifs served after. (yes, that is D-I-G-E, oh whatever. It's after chow booze). Maybe a Cherry Clafoutis, and Creme Brulee which you will like. Again, just watch which utensil others use.
Now that dinner is over, don't jump up and say there's a game on TV, just wait politely (P-O-L, sorry I thought...never mind). Staff will clear the table before the digestifs (Sigh, we already discussed this) and if the person clearing your table is a female, please do not slap her on the ass and tell her that the food was almost as good as your Momma makes. Again, your wit may go over her head.
Now you can go grovel, threaten or twist arms for donations from your lessers. After stuffing your pockets with money you can kick off your shoes, loosen your belt, watch a game, have a beer and relax in your suite. That's not candy in the bathroom, it is soap.

Is Radical Islam Radical Or Is Their Radicalism The Norm For Them?
We visited Vasto, Italy where my wife's family is from for a few days so she could share her history. The family is filled with relatives and their history there goes back before the written word.
The first thing I wanted to see was the "old" church where her grandparents had wed, but also to surprise my wife with some genealogical information. In one of those difficult verbal exchanges, made so by my inability to speak Italian, I was informed their was only the "new" church and it was pointed out to me.
I looked at a structure that in America would have been a national monument based strictly on its age, so I asked about the old church. I was informed that a Turkish (Muslim) fleet had ravaged the entire length of Italy on the Adriatic side. It was then that remembered history told me that the "new" church had been built in 1477 AD after Vasto was burned, looted and the people were left for dead..
I asked if the there had been other such invasions. The kind gentleman and his wife who was gently trying to get me to understand both smiled and she said, "No" translating for her husband. He got a very hard look in his face and spoke in the local dialect which the wife translated loosely as, "They come again, this we know, but this time we'll be ready."
That memory and this video reminds me that Islam is doing exactly what they have been instructed to do for centuries.
I give you Lt. Col. West:
Political clarity is a virtue that is lost in modern America. I hope this man goes far in politics.

Obama's 'No New Taxes' Not A Pledge, But A 'Preference'
"Read my lips"
As warned, America is getting screwed. Big time by big lies, big plans and small minds. Enter Orszag. That would be Peter "lovechild" Orszag, a man of principle, truthiness and trust. Unless he says he loves you. In that case, run.
Orszag: The president never “pledged” no new taxes; he simply “preferred”
“The president has been very clear about what he prefers,” Orszag said

LA Supports Rape, Murder And Kidnapping In Arizona So LA Won't Be Illegal Crime Capital Of The World
L.A. Becomes Largest City To Boycott Arizona
The City Council voted 13-1 to bar Los Angeles from conducting business with Arizona unless the law is repealed.
LA City Council, pass your ban. You are manned by Latino and black members who have no idea how to run a city. You were elected because of your race, not your ability and now you expect the state and the nation to bail you out because of your incompetence.
And you want to order others around. As if you have the competence to order a bell boy to the right room. You couldn't successfully run an ice station in the Arizona desert. You are too stupid individually and as a group.
LA City Council, keep doing stupid things such as this. You, hour by hour, build support for Arizona's laws. Each time you feel the need to open your stupid mouths you assist those that want to keep this nation safe and prosperous. Thank you.
Oh, in your role of preaching to other people and states, why don't you figure out exactly how you will stop bankrupting such a huge and possibly prosperous state.
Thankfully, California won't be able to afford your salaries. Then you can join the illegals, homeless, insane and leeches that you have invited to live in your state and live in a state of need, except there is no money left in California to fill your self made need.
Boycott Arizona? Please do, you morons from Hell. In the name of equality, you will be equal with your citizens that you have impoverished.
Unfortunately, in the name of equality, you will have made California the kidnap capital of the world.

So, Arizona doesn't fit your beliefs and values, but Communist China does? Maybe someone should call Assistant Superintendent, Suzan Hebson, and ask if China's forced abortions and sterilizations, their murder of dissidents and China's core belief that Anglos are less intelligent than Chinese fit her set of beliefs and values. They must since she obviously supports sending her students to China, in fact she holds special classes so they can learn Mandarin.

Robert Samuelson On the Welfare-State’s ‘Death Spiral’
Americans dislike the term “welfare state” and substitute the bland word “entitlements.” The vocabulary doesn’t alter the reality. Countries cannot overspend and overborrow forever. By delaying hard decisions about spending and taxes, governments maneuver themselves into a cul de sac.
What happens if all these countries are thrust into Greece’s situation? One answer — another worldwide economic collapse — explains why dawdling is so risky.
The big house at the end of the cul de sac, the one with faded paint which is peeling off and is filled with beggars and bureaucrats damning the landlord as they steal the paltry belongings that are left, is the United States of America.

The Anti-Religious Steal Senior's Prayer
I can imagine how my mother would've reacted. Upon being told she couldn't pray she would have lifted all 5' 2" inches to her feet and out loud led the group in prayer. And yes, she would have asked God to forgive the heathens who steal love and faith from the group, but she would have mostly asked God to help thugs who bully those with little time left to them.
Ga. Seniors Told They Can't Pray Before Meals
Tim Rutherford, Senior Citizens Inc. vice president, said some of his staff recently visited the center and noticed people praying shortly before lunch was served. Rutherford said his company provides meals like baked chicken, steak tips and rice and salads at a cost of about $6 a plate. Seniors taking the meals pay 55 cents and federal money foots the rest of the bill, Rutherford said.
"We can't scoff at their rules," he said of federal authorities. "It's a part of the operational guidelines."
Our three branches of government should be proud.

A Sad, Laughable View Of The MECha-Illegal View Of The World
It is interesting that this artist(s) uses a National Socialism mode of art to portray his view of his struggle.
Socialism has brought tragedy to all that loved it. Just misery to all that accepted it.
The art's extremist view makes it sad, but laughable. To have a view such as this is the view of a twisted, stunted and little mind.
The art does show the inner workings of a mind incapable of understanding reality. Kind of like Salvador Dali without any interesting features or a Goya without intellectual underpinning.
Actually, it is high school comic book mimicry.

Franz Kafka Rides DC's Rails In The Czech Republic
It's like something out of a Franz Kafka novel -- a city buys streetcars for $10 million, but has no tracks to run them.
Kafka was a famous Czech writer and the streetcars are in the Czech Republic. The city that bought the streetcars -- with no tracks -- is the District of Columbia.
3 years ago the District of Columbia bought the streetcars. 3 years ago the District of Columbia had no tracks for streetcars and presumably someone in government understood that. Presumably.
D.C. Department of Transportation Director Emeka Moneme tells WTOP the holdup is tracks for the streetcars to run on. They have not been put down, and there is no current timetable for when those tracks will go down.
So, for the last 3 years DC's streetcars have been taken out for periodic spins in the Czech Republic because some genius bought them when they could not be used. That about sums up governance in DC. Oh, and when they do get around to putting in tracks, DC wants ridership to be free.
Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made. Franz Kafka

DRIVING FAITH
"New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland, with a combined population smaller than Poland...have more automobiles in service than the whole world outside of the United States," wrote William Joseph Showalter in his October 1923 National Geographic article, "The Automobile Industry." Pictured in that issue was one of those New York cars in service—to a higher power. The Reverend Branford Clarke's Brooklyn-based "traveling chapel" was equipped with stained-glass windows, an organ for his wife to play, and a fold-down steeple to help the whole thing fit in his garage.—Margaret G.

Declassified Docs Show Kent State Protesters Planned To Incite Violence Through Sniper and Fire
New light shed on Kent State killings
Shots fired at Guard, declassified files indicate
Previously undisclosed FBI documents suggest that the Kent State antiwar protests were more meticulously planned than originally thought and that one or more gunshots may have been fired at embattled Ohio National Guardsmen before their killings of four students and woundings of at least nine others on that searing day in May 1970.
I clearly remember talk of a sniper firing on the Guardsmen in 1970. I also clearly remember the attitude of some of the protesters, especially the leaders, who clearly thought rioting, violence and destruction would change the world into what they wanted. Most other s thought the protests to be a lark. They were ignorant then and ignorant now.

Previously undisclosed FBI documents suggest that the Kent State antiwar protests were more meticulously planned than originally thought and that one or more gunshots may have been fired at embattled Ohio National Guardsmen before their killings of four students and woundings of at least nine others on that searing day in May 1970.
I clearly remember talk of a sniper firing on the Guardsmen in 1970. I also clearly remember the attitude of some of the protesters, especially the leaders, who clearly thought rioting, violence and destruction would change the world into what they wanted. Most other s thought the protests to be a lark. They were ignorant then and ignorant now.
Wake Up, Become A Jihadist, Bomb Times Square.
The left is so disappointed that the Times Square loser bomber wasn't a blue haired old white lady on a Tea Party Jihad.
Recap of what we've been told:
Faisal Shahzad is a Pakistani-American
He is a naturalized American citizen
He had one of his properties in foreclosure
He used a disposable cell phone
He scanned Craigslist for a vehicle
He bought the SUV with cash
He packed the SUV with explosives
He drove it to Times Square
He left it running in a no parking zone
He walked away
He was arrested on an airplane about to take off
Okay, what else?
He had just been in Pakistan for 5 months
He appears to have no job
He appears to have no money
He's supporting his family
He's paying for trans continental flights
He's bought a SUV
He bought explosives and excelerants
He had bomb making knowledge
Okay, what more?
He used the wrong material in his bomb so it didn't explode
He left a running vehicle running in a no parking zone
Times Square is heavily guarded
It was a street vendor alerted authorities
He attended terror camps in Pakistan
He was not on the Terror Watch List
Pakistan was (too) quick to make arrests
He supposedly is a lone bomber
What all this tells us:
That his bomb didn't explode was a mistake
That it was a street vendor that started the investigation
That our security forces appears to been completely in the dark
That he is not a lone bomber
That he is a Muslim
He is either a sleeper or newly made Jihadi
He was assisted in his effort
One more thing:
He is not the only one.

Why Illegal Immigration Needs To Be Stopped. Now.
It isn't just the smuggling of illegal aliens nor just the smuggling of illegal drugs, it is also the beatings, the rapes, the extortion of life savings and forced prostitution and that's just whats happening to Mexicans. American home and properties are being violated, by some accounts by Mexican military and police, and Americans are being robbed, raped, murdered and left for dead.
And who is it that wants this to continue or be codified into law? Hint, it's not Republicans.
Deputy shot; illegal immigrants suspected
A veteran sheriff's deputy was shot and wounded Friday after encountering a group of suspected illegal immigrants who apparently had been hauling bales of marijuana along a major smuggling corridor in the Arizona desert- a violent episode that comes amid a heated national debate over immigration.
It is time to start a systematic removal of illegal aliens from within the United States and to stop the flow at the borders. Finish the wall between Mexico and the United States, stop the teachings of a separatist South West by groups such as La Raza (in our schools!) and heavily fine those employers who employ illegal aliens. Otherwise the problem will continue to grow worse.

E.J. Dionne, Jr Panders To The Economic Left
E. J. Dionne, Jr. speaks to the wonders of redistribution of wealth by government fiat. FDR did it so it must be good! That FDR moved our system close enough to Marxism that Marx himself was proven wrong seems to produce no irony in E. J. Dionne, Jr..
Want to save capitalism? Regulate it.
Marx's predictions about the inevitable collapse of capitalism have been wrong so far because the system has worked reasonably well, thanks to the rules and redistributive programs established after the Great Depression.
The lesson is that the surest way to save capitalism is to regulate it in the public interest. The surest way to create socialists is for everyone to experience the economic consequences of counting only on the goodness in the hearts of Mr. Potter and Fabrice Tourre.
Well, Mr. E. J. Dionne, Jr. must be happy because we have in place an administration that believes it knows better than the market place so they'll just keep on piling more regulation on until we are what Marx wanted, a deflated and stagnant economy.

Shakira And Linda Ronstadt Speak Out Against Arizona Immigration Law
Celebs Speak Out Against Arizona Law
Colombian-born Grammy winner Shakira met with police and officials in Phoenix. She said the law infringes on human and civil rights, and goes "against all human dignity."
Tucson native Linda Rondstadt said at a news conference that "Mexican-Americans are not going to take this lying down."
First, why are police officials in Phoenix taking the time to meet with a master crime fighter like Shakira? To gain her expertise? Maybe officials should look to the dignity of their citizens that need their help.
Now we find that Mexican Americans aren't going to be lying down any time soon from a different drum.
Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
Maybe they can get Sean Penn to travel with them to Mexico City to form a boycott or something. Or they could just sing.

A Primer On Respect For Constituents By Politicians
Last night, I attended an event in my district, and ran into a voter who lives in District 7. This person was a total asshole. Really, truly, a fantastically foul, very visible, demonstrative, to the point of other people noticing, asshole. In fact, let’s call him Mr. Asshole.
I feel the love, the respect and the trust in voters written into the above statement. Living in a Republic does allow one to see how sausage is made, but just like with elections, one shouldn't observe the process just before dining. It might cause a lack of appetite. Of course, one could just sit and hope for a dinner of observation and snappy repartee, eh?

How Stupid And Useless Is The United Nations?
So much so that it is impossible to measure. The UN is actually harmful to the planet and its inhabitants.
Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged "immodest."
An indication of just how bad the UN is might be their decision to award to James Earl Carter (D-Prez-Worst) its first Human Rights Prize. Another indicator might be any place in Africa that the UN stepped in to help. Oh, just pick any decision they've made. The UN is a carnival of corruptocrats.

Biggest DUH! Of The Day
Illegals plan to leave AZ over law...
BONUS: Moron of the Day:
Mack (R) compares Ariz. law to Nazi Germany
"This law of 'frontier justice' – where law enforcement officials are required to stop anyone based on 'reasonable suspicion' that they may be in the country illegally – is reminiscent of a time during World War II when the Gestapo in Germany stopped people on the street and asked for their papers without probable cause," Mack said in a statement.
Nice, Connie. Our frontier is Nazi Germany?Our law enforcers are like the Gestapo? Unfortunately Connie, your statement that law enforcers are "required to stop anyone based on 'reasonable suspicion' that they may be in the country illegally" is false. Read the legislation before you employ your mouth.

Obama TV Coming Soon
So Who’s Going To Play Candidate Obama?
Open wants to get it on air within the next 12 to 18 months. Shaps tells me that what appealed to him about Woolfe’s book is that it is a multi-layered portrait of Obama, not a simplistic hero worship. “The questions that have since emerged about what he’s going to do with the Presidency were, to some extent, already there during the campaign,” Shaps says. “We will get to the root of what Obama wants to do with America.”
Who? I suggest Pat Boone.

Using Illegal Aliens As A Political Prop II
Arizona passed a law to crack down on illegal immigrants that are flooding their borders, killing their citizens and draining their public and private coffers. Was it a good bill? I think so, but many conservatives disagree because they say conservatives will be portrayed as racists which fits the current liberal meme of any disagreement with Obama is rooted in racism. It's false, they know it, but hey, why let a crisis go to waste, eh? Besides, the left wants to win and they don't give a whit how they win.
This time around conservatives should force the debate. Arizona did us a favor by doing just that, forcing the debate, but now we need to base the debate in the law, economics and fairness. Yeah, I know fairness for hard working Americans is out of fashion, but isn't it time we bring it back?
The Anchoress has a good set of points and suggestions which I recommend to you:
Dems Replay May 2006 Tactic
Don’t kid yourselves. They were going to do this whether Arizona passed a law or not.
The Dems and the left are replaying what they did in May of 2006: organizing nationwide marches with preprinted signs (courtesy, I am sure, of A.N.S.W.E.R.) and they’re going to pull the same street theater that got the right into an screaming “send them all back, right now!” uproar in 2006, which the media and dems capitalized on, to the detriment of the right.
The left went on to win that election, and since then have you seen these “uprisings” every May 1 or May 5? Since then, in fact, has much been said or done on immigration?
Nope.
Read the rest HERE.
This time conservatives must to face the usual crap storm head on and not back down, but drive the issue based on law and logic until even the main stream media gets it. Yep, we need to use a KISS on the media because if we don't Keep It Simple Stupid enough, the media might not get it. Even if they do get it, they'll probably cower in a self doubt that would lead them to think that they may be wrong, but good lessons need to be applied often.
Wanting our government and illegal aliens to abide by the law is not racist. That Democrats will use this issue to gain more votes and power is racist.

Meet The Enemy: Happy Meals And Arizona
As California sinks lower into self delusion hoping that America soon will bail them out, Silicon Valley has met a new and fearsome enemy, the Happy Meal.
Enemy number one; toys in meals for children.
As California drags the nation down and refuses to address the foolish mess they have made of themselves, they continue to ignore what has put them in their position. Themselves.
Codifying their lack of trust of local parenting skills and punishing children appears to not be enough to assuage their moral indignation, Californians now need to put their lesser brethren in Arizona in place. Being superior is such wearisome work.
San Fran Mayor issues moratorium on official travel to Arizona...
Los Angeles city council members push for boycott...
California's top lawmaker: Cut off all ties with AZ...
With the likes of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom (who said that the Arizona law is unacceptable to him), LA Councilman Ed Reyes (who wants to punish Arizona) and California Senate President Darrell Steinberg (who says that Arizona's immigration law "is as unconscionable as it is unconstitutional") all attempting to extort behavior change from Arizona, maybe California should first look to cleaning up their own house before lecturing other states. This is just one reason California has become a joke.
Happy Meals indeed. If California ran a McDonalds, it would now be an empty and bankrupt store filled with the homeless and illegal aliens all waiting to have food delivered to them. By the state.

Vacation In Arizona (Legally) Just To Hack Off Liberals
No matter how many times I see the Grand Canyon I am still in awe. I'm going back. Not down the face walls nor the Cathedral Stairs. Maybe just the bar at that fancy hotel El Tovar.
Maybe I'll go see the first really big telescope I got to look through, when it was still at Perkins Observatory in Delaware, Ohio, at Lowell Observatory. They have a pet named Pluto.
A favorite church of mine is Mission San Xavier del Bac, an architectural wonder built and decorated by native Indians for the founding missionaries. At the opposite end of that spectrum is Taliesin West built by Frank Loyld Wright who scammed non-paid students and admirers into doing his labor. Where Taliesin West has bad bones, San Xavier del Bac has the bones of saints.
The art galleries in Scottsdale are absolutely incredible. They broke my bank. Another good site is Yuma Crossing where they have a trading post, archealogical digs and, oh my, the old Arizona Territorial Prison.
Breathing While Undocumented
Maybe they can reopen it.
You like castles? This one is a got to see, Montezuma Castle. Condos? White House, not the one in DC, has some seriously old condos, yeah, with a view. In fact, a really incredible view. Like ball court sports? One word, Snaketown.
Last stop would be the Sierra Bonita Ranch. Any ranch owned by a Hooker can't be all bad.
Arizona is fun. From the cold areas of the Grand Canyon and Flastaff all the way down to the furnace called southern Arizona.
With ObamaCare coming to a soon empty medical facility near you,you might be thinking about great dental care. It's right across the border in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Be sure to have your ID and necessary papers on you (and ready to present to authorities at any time) during your stay. Mexicans are funny about the legality of its visitors and immigrants.
In Mexico, illegal is illegal and if you're illegal, you're going to jail until they can transport your butt back across the border. From my experience, the jail time is necessary so one can arrange for a large sum of money to be wired to Mexican authorities to cover fines, incidentals and their hurt national pride that anyone would be in their country illegally. They're so hurt by that prospect that the army, regional authorities, immigration control and all police work in concert to enforce mexico's strict immigration laws.
Ley General De Población
Capítulo III Inmigración
ARTÍCULO 73
“The authorities who, by virtue of law, exercise a mandate for public enforcement [the police] at federal, local or municipal level, shall provide cooperation to immigration authorities when said immigration authorities request it, to comply with the provisions of this law [the General Law of Population].”
Bonus, Arizona's water is gold. AU H2O.

SEIU Thug Openly Threatens California Legislature
Meet Lisa Brown of the SEIU. She is the face of today's union.
Bribery, blackmail and threats. I hope the voter will toss out SEIU supported politicians along with the SEIU. They both are the enemy of good governance.
The Beholden State
How public-sector unions broke California
The video has become a sensation among California taxpayer groups for its vivid depiction of the audacious power that public-sector unions wield in their state. The unions’ political triumphs have molded a California in which government workers thrive at the expense of a struggling private sector. The state’s public school teachers are the highest-paid in the nation. Its prison guards can easily earn six-figure salaries. State workers routinely retire at 55 with pensions higher than their base pay for most of their working life.
Unions: Killing prosperity everywhere.

Post Racial America? Nope. Not If Obama Can Help It.
Obama pits blacks versus whites, Latinos versus legals, young versus old and women versus men so he can get Democrats elected to support his great policies. The policies that the majority of Americans don't want, but that Congress gave Obama as a love offering to the great god of government. That is their religion. Government over all. Governance by division. Division by quota. Quota by Obama.
SEIU 'Where Is The Cash, We Need It Fast'
Come on, pony up. Pony up more. Pony up even more. You've got to save the bureaucracy!
Ever wonder why liberals want to make government bureaucracies even larger while fewer and fewer citizens pay taxes? It's called their base.

Chris Dodd Produces? What?
Chris Dodd is on MTP with Richard Shelby talking about Wall Street reform. Shelby stated that Wall Street has to stop their casino mentality because that is gambling. Hah! Huh? Rich shouldn't think out loud. It is embarrassing.
Dodd says that Wall Street makes nothing and produces nothing. Huh? Oh, kinda like you Chris.
Of course, Wall Street does make something. In fact it makes and produces a most valuable commodity. Money. If Chris is unaware of the concept of actually making money, all he has to do is look at his contributor list. It is filled with Wall Street money. Over $6 million.

Thank You GM! All TARP Funds Paid With TARP Funds Early!
Hey, but they paid early!!!
Grassley Slams GM, Administration Over Loans Repaid With Bailout Money
"The bottom line seems to be that the TARP loans were 'repaid' with other TARP funds in a Treasury escrow account. The TARP loans were not repaid from money GM is earning selling cars, as GM and the administration have claimed in their speeches, press releases and television commercials."
Hey Mom, if you loan me even more money, I'll pay you back what I borrowed before. Then we'll be even, right?

Hey G-Man, You And Obama Want My Bacon? From Cold Dead Fingers Pal.
The next Obamacare target: Your bacon sandwich
Okay, you've had your fun with ObamaCare. You had your trained monkeys bite, scratch and cajole Congress to get it passed. Now you go too far.
You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?
The Hell with Waterloo, this will be your Yorktown! You can have my bacon when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers
I'll have mine Applewood smoked, a side of grits slathered in butter (and salt) and two eggs over easy with rye toast and honey butter. Oh, and coffee, make it high test, with extra half and half and double sugar. Honey, before you go, add two Jimmy Dean's for good luck. Yeah, patties. Thanks a bunch.

I'll have mine Applewood smoked, a side of grits slathered in butter (and salt) and two eggs over easy with rye toast and honey butter. Oh, and coffee, make it high test, with extra half and half and double sugar. Honey, before you go, add two Jimmy Dean's for good luck. Yeah, patties. Thanks a bunch.
GM Pays Off TARP Debt + Interest 5 Years Early! Really? Ah, Not Quite...
There's those other tens of billions. You know the billions that GM got that the federal government said was repaid by getting 60% of GM? And the government's best buddies, the unions, into management.
General Motors Still Owes You
GM is still Government Motors. They still owe us. We, the taxpayer, footed the bill. Bush was wrong to start this and Obama was and is wrong to have made the government an owner.
GM has not repaid the loans. Let alone ahead of schedule.

Uh-Oh: AP Agrees That Obama Is Lying About Taxes
The AP has jumped ship by telling the truth. Who does that leave, outside of the DNC's NYT, that still buys the bilge on Obama and taxes? Matt Lauer and Nora O'Donnell?
Millions face tax increases under Dems budget plan
Oh, I forgot Geraldo Rivera. Don't know how I could. Maybe it was on purpose.

Tea Party People Are Poopy
Dare I say it? Yes. Bertha Lewis is full of crap. But yes, she is right in that the Tea Party movement is moving crap out of Washington, DC.
Fmr ACORN head calls Tea Parties "bowel movement" and claims "they're coming after you"

Any of these groups that says, "I'm young, I'm Democratic, and I'm a socialist," is okay with me. You know that's no light thing to do -- to actually say, I'm a socialist. You've got to know, actually, we are living in a time that's going to dwarf the McCarthy era. We are living in a time that'll dwarf the internment era of internment during World War II. We are right now in a time that is going to dwarf the era of Jim Crow and segregation.Even more ironic is the explicit Democrat support given to the causes she lists. Liberal icon Bobby Kennedy played no small part in Joe McCarthy's efforts to investigate Communist infiltration in the U.S. government. Internment of the Japanese came under the original New Deal Democrat president Franklin Roosevelt. The era of Jim Crow laws was governed by southern Democrats like Alabama governor George Wallace and Mississippi senator Jim Eastland.
They are coming and they are coming after you, and they are going to be brutal and oppressive. They've already shown it. ... This is not rhetoric or hyperbole -- this is real. ... This tea party so-called movement -- a bowel-movement in my estimation -- and this blatant uncovering and ripping off the mask of racism...

Early humans may have bred with other species – twice
Human evolution is looking more tangled than ever. A new genetic study of nearly two thousand people from around the world suggests that some of our ancestors bred with other species of humans, such as Neanderthals, at least twice.
The possibility of this happening again is pretty good. I almost dated one in college. Almost being the operative word. Don't know what she thought of me.

He's A Big Dumb Animal, Isn't He Folks
Rambling Ted has some trouble saying what he means and meaning what he says. It appears that what Ted is speaking of is his outstanding job running Ohio as in, yes, we lost jobs, but yes, we got some, but really, we did lose jobs. Maybe. I think.
