Another Soon To Be A Party Switching Democrat?

Police: Fla. congressional candidate robbed at gunpoint while waiting for campaign appearance

At the very least he should be the primary sponsor of conceal-carry. If elected to anything.

Individual $44K Per Person National Debt Obligation Far From What It Should Be

To paraphrase John Paul Jones, Obama whispers to aides, "I have not yet begun to spend!"

USA DEBT: $13,310,379,000,000.00

$44,000 PER CITIZEN...
 
Actually, Americans need to cough up more than a mere $44K per person on the debt when it is costing about $75K per day for the Obamas to vacation and that's just Marie Antoinette Michelle. That's a $31K disparity. Time to buck up John and Jane Q. Publick.
 
Of course the Obamas, even on vacation, can't swim in the sea of poo surrounding Martha's Vineyard, but us mere taxpayers already know that feeling.

Sociology Students Feel Put Upon By Visit To Creation Museum And Ethnography 'Proves' It

I wonder if sociology students are upset when creationists are forced to listen to the evolution theory in government supported classes or are confronted with a belief they disagree with in museums on the National Mall that spout evolution as fact?

Would they be upset? No, because that would mean that they would have to believe the rubes have a belief different than theirs, but just as viable. That is something they only will not do, but they will also openly laugh at such an idea. They are that sure that they are correct that it allows them to mock, belittle, laugh at and get articles so full of crock as the one below published about their publishing a "scientific" paper base on ethnographyy. Ethnography, a subjective narrative based on one's bias, is considered a scientific research by those that agree with its findings. An example might be, "Jews act badly, in my opinion, towards Palestinians, ergo my bias against Jews and for Palestinians is correct."

When sociology students visit Creation Museum
A professor of sociology led a field trip through Kentucky's Creation Museum, a fundamentalist Christian facility. The professor found that non-fundamentalists felt uncomfortable there. Museum officials say they've received death threats and the site sometimes draws anti-Creationist protesters.

Barton combined hours of observation and analysis of museum materials into an ethnography, a detailed narrative about a place and its culture that is often used in sociology. Unlike other research methods, the ethnography does not strive for impartiality; rather, the researchers recognize and reflect on their own reactions to what they see. (read the entire article)

“Politically acceptable” is only acceptable to one side and they do not pray to God to be right.

APB: Zack Space Missing Again!

Zack wasn't at the OEC when they found he had made false statements in campaign ads.

Zack announced mucho bucks for broadband access. From where he announced nobody knows. He must have been out scouting placement of lines because he just announced it, but wasn't there to announce it in person.

Zack might be at Ground Zero doing inspections because he hasn't been around to state his position on the subject. Maybe he was in Las Vegas chatting up Harry Reid on the subject.

Zack might also beal so chatting up the SEIU and other previous union supporters about his brave vote against government health care. Or was his vote against the fact that the bill didn't go far enough? $25,000 is $25,000 and it beats having to actually meet with constituents and ask for donations.

Zack might be out there helping coal miners dig a little bit as contrition for screwing them out of their jobs by supporting Cap and Trade. Maybe. He hasn't been seen talking to his voters or giving them advice on how to pay the thousands of extra dollars in taxes to pay for it. Maybe that is what he's talking to the coal miners about. Well, that and how they're going to pay extra being out of work and all.

Wait! We found Zack! At least we found where he has spent some of his money. He is attacking people that disagree with him because they don't live in the district except they obviously know where the district is. Maybe Zack was the one filming. The video is taken from far away and is pretty shaky. Distant and shaky? Maybe we really have found Zack.

Maybe Zack is hiding out at Bob Gibbs rallies. It's not like anyone would recognize him. It's tough actually talking to constituents, especially when it takes so much time away from trolling Washington DC for campaign donations and support to the tune of $1,115,303.

I hope Zack calls home soon. There might be people worried about him

All I Want Is A Hibachi

Home Depot? Nada.
Lowes? Zip.
Sears? Only online (I want one now. Not next week)
Target? They have something called Son of Hibachi which means daddy isn't the real daddy.
Local patio store? Yep, they have a foofoo French model. For $110.00. Ain't happening.
Krogers? I asked and got a stare that only a dead fish could love.
Giant Eagle? "Honey, that's a great suggestion. We should get some in."
Lawn and Garden shop nearby? "We only sell real grills!"
Gander Mountain? Nope, but they had a cast iron pan I could hold over a fire.

With this administration's economy I might have better luck checking pawn shops.

Hidden Agendas To Use Capital To Destroy Capitalism

Paco has a post on the unelected who elect to rule us through privately funded groups. Mix in all of the unelected bureaucrats who actually make law from the local to the state to the federal level and there occurs trillions of dollars through these innocent sounding foundations and tax dollars. If that's not enough to get your panties in a twist read some of these sites.

Start here:

Who elected these people?

Then go to this site which is actually a few years behind:

Activist Cash

Of course every one's fav is George Soros who as a child hid his Jewish heritage by posing as a godchild to an official employed by the Nazi Waffen SS to confiscate Jewish property. Dear George accompanied him on his missions of pay before you die and feels absolutely no guilt or remorse basically saying it was them or me.

Discover the Networks

Even a quick perusal will give one the sense and immense scope of these groups influencing government to education to unions and to movements such environmentalism. All Americans should be troubled by hidden agendas and hidden government.

Ohio 4th In Nation For Welfare Bureaucrats

This is a bummer. Ohio used to have low taxes, smaller government and a great economy. Now we lose jobs by the 100,000s and more people are leaving than coming into Ohio. Actually, this isn't a bummer, it sucks. Literally and figuratively. Yeah, both.

By The Numbers: How many local government public welfare bureaucrats are there?

Obama Easing Restrictions On Travel To Cuba For Castro Cultists

What's not to love about a stinky old dictator and the gulags, poverty and death he brought to Cuba?

U.S. plans to ease travel to Cuba: lawmaker's aide

This should make it so much easier for the likes of Spielberg, Costner, Belafonte, and the other stars that genuflect to the scum like Castro, to go see a society locked in the 1950s. Unfortunately, they will never ask to speak to dissidents and prisoners. They're actors and reality scares them.

Obama & Holder Use Federal Threat Of Law To Bully Opponents

Case in point is Sheriff Joe. The boys in Washington are ticked off at all things Arizona and especially Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I too would be ticked if I had acted so incredibly stupid that a mere sheriff could make me, the president, look like a complete fool.

U.S. may sue Arizona's Sheriff Arpaio for not cooperating in investigation
The investigations reflect the tangled politics surrounding the immigration debate. The criminal probe is led by Dennis K. Burke, the U.S. attorney in Phoenix who was a top aide to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

Two of Arpaio's attorneys, Robert N. Driscoll and Asheesh Agarwal, were officials in the Justice Department's civil rights division in the George W. Bush administration. They denied that the sheriff, a Republican who has been reelected four times since 1992, has been uncooperative or has engaged in racial profiling, misusing money or targeting political enemies.

"The sheriff's office is cooperating fully with the grand jury investigation and has complete confidence that the inquiry will clear it of any wrongdoing," Agarwal said. "The office has always fulfilled its responsibilities truthfully, honorably, and in full compliance with state and federal law."

Arpaio's attorneys contend that the investigations are politically motivated, citing a news conference in March at which Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. was quoted as saying he expects the inquiries to "produce results."

This administration proves daily that they are clueless and incompetent, but this Chicago-style thuggery should be even below them. Unfortunately, it appears to be their modus operandi .

Thuggery is as thuggery does.

Far From Incipiency The Bureaucracy Grows Older, Fatter And Deadlier

Tom Blumer has the rundown on our runaway bureaucracy which out earns us and is outspending our ability to feed it all in a quest to try to make itself relevant.

The Ruling Class Takes Care of Its Own
The excess pay and benefits are outrageous — and unaffordable.

What has the bureaucracy ever produced? Besides Foreign Affair disasters, National Security breaches and huge deficits? They have that going for them.

UPDATE: An emailer writes to remind me that it is the bad cholesterol that kills the fat man, not the good cholesterol. Duly noted.

Madam Pelosi Miffed Over Ground Zero Mosque Opposition, Wants Americans Investigated

Madam Nana is miffed. She wants the Ground Zero Mosque built so we can see what's in it. To those ugly Americans that say it is legal to build there, but question the reasons why it is being built there and also question the the tin ear of Muslims, Madam Nana says she will investigate where they're getting the money to "gin" up this outrage. I have no doubt that Madam Nana will find Nazis underneath it all. Well, Nazis and right wing nuts, but she digresses.

Rep. Pelosi calls for investigation of WTC mosque opposition

I do have an admission, I am opposed to the Ground Zero Mosque. Now that I am being investigated should I have all my paychecks, coin purses and past tip jars available for the perusal of Nana's pink booted thugs?

Interesting fact: I googled "Is Pelosi stupid? and Google found About 1,270,000 results (0.22 seconds)

UPDATE: Yid With Lid ( a great site, go read it) has a great post on this story with a follow up concerning Madam Nana trying to take her dog of a comment on a walk aback.

Shut Up Mayor Bloomberg

Bloomberg attacks salt, smoke, fat and other personal peccadilloes, but not murderers and Islamofascists nor does he seem to interested in bedbugs, muggers and common thugs patrolling his city. Why should he when a few kind words for and some harsh words against those speaking about the proposed mosque near ground zero might be to his profit.

Ground Zero Mosque Madness: NYC Mayor Bloomberg’s Bloomberg LLC expanding its financial center to a regional hub in Dubai

Paralleling Mayor Bloomberg’s veiled insults towards those acutely aware of the historical Islamic conquest of non-Muslim lands by their building of mosques on top of or dominating a conquered people’s holy sites, is the concurrent Bloomberg LLC’s expansion of its Dubai financial center into a regional hub for the UAE. Founded in 1981 by Michael Bloomberg, who privately owns 85% of the limited liability corporation, Bloomberg LLC is a dominant player in global financial software, data gathering and news, commanding one third of its market niche estimated at $16 billion dollars.

The ultimate arrogance of Bloomberg is that he actually believes that others care what he thinks. He is the 8th richest American and Mayor of New York City. He is not the brightest man in America nor is he a national level politician, but merely a mayor of a city on the rocks. That he wishes to portray a mosque 2 blocks from ground zero, while knowing that its construction start is to be September 11, 2010, in a positive light is rank hypocrisy with the stink of private profit while in public office. It makes him seem just that much more a merely local scoundrel who has no place in a debate of the people, but maybe more rightly the subject of a debate by a jury of his peers.

Mayor Bloomberg is a rich spoiled arrogant embarrassment to honest hardworking people. He should just shut up.

'Change' Failed So "Let's Reach For Hope."

In a nod to Democrats past Obama is attempting a "We have nothing to fear but fear itself," shtick to buttress his fading message of hope as the pushback against his "change" grows across America.

Obama pleads to voters: 'Don't give in to fear'

Using very catchy metaphors such as his one about Republicans and driving: put the car in "D" (as in Democrat) if you want to move ahead, "R" if you want to go backward, Obama is trying to rally Democrats to head off what they fear (oops!) will be a disastrous midterm election. They hope (oh yeah!) that with Obama in full gear campaign mode and without the burdens of actually being president that Obama will re inject his stump magic into campaigns.

If I were a Democrat running next November I'd be afearing what Obama asked for and was given by pliant Democrats in Congress. The real change wrought by Obama and Congress is a shattered economy that will only get worse and the only hope for Democrats is that November isn't a total blowout.
