Cowardly SF 'Artist' Defies Their President To Continue The Anti-Palin Hate & Lies
It's so cool to be underground. In a 60' sort of way. Defy the man! Question authority. Farm out.
But only if you are an ex-hippie, liberal or a self identified elite. Otherwise, you're just a hate filled conservative.
These people are such cowards and hypocrites.
Massachusetts Employs Soviet Style Food Officer For Each Restaurant
State Mandates Food Cops in Every Restaurant
Reminds me of the old joke about restaurants in the Soviet Union.
A man who went into a restaurant and ordered an item off of the menu, only to be told that it wasn’t available and that he should order another dish. The man was indignant: I thought we had choices here, he said. You do, the manager replied: you can order what we want you to or you can get out of this restaurant.
Ah, Massachewsets.

Pep Rally, NBA Draft, Campaign Stop Or Revival?
Arizona saw a strange combination of hooting students, political figures, grieving friends and love ones and hanger ons that felt the need to just be there, ones wanting to share a momentary spotlight and some little gravitas from speakers that addressed agendas of their own.
The main speaker, President Barack Obama, spoke to a legacy of this tragedy in which he sees himself as the main character of adoration.
It was shameless.
This is the opening event of the 2012 election.
I think it was odd in an odd sort of way.
More importantly, it is good to hear that those that survived the attack by a madman are improving.
I still don't know if this was a pep rally, a NBA draft announcement, campaign stop or a revival.
It was odd at best.

American Discrimination Leaves Aliens In Limbo
Americans. How did we get so many in our country. It's nice that we have a university chancellor, from Berkeley no less, to set us straight.
Cal's Robert Birgeneau talks about Tucson shooting
In a campus-wide e-mail message, Birgeneau said: "It is not a coincidence that this calamity has occurred in a state which has legislated discrimination against undocumented persons."
He added that "this same mean-spirited xenophobia played a major role in the defeat of the Dream Act by our legislators in Washington, leaving many exceptionally talented and deserving young people, including our undocumented students, painfully in limbo."
There should be no limbo. If they are undocumented, ie illegal, their cases should move forward expeditiously with the help of Berkeley's chancellor and his nifty staff. Then deport them.
I hope this gentle person from Berkeley knows that I am not being hateful. Nor am I mimicking his peers who use hateful and violent language against those who disagree with them.
I am sure that he has rules at his establishment. I am sure he knows that the United States of America has rules. In fact he may have heard them called laws.
If he wants to encourage and reward people who knowingly break the law and he assists them he might also want to be aware that aiding and abetting a criminal in an act of crime is a crime in and of itself.
If he is not aware of this then he is stupid which makes him wholly qualified to be the Chancellor of Berkeley. But that doesn't mean anyone cares a whit what he thinks or says. And that's not discrimination, it's an observation.

TV Networks Double Down On Stuck On Stupid & Blood Libel
ABCNEWS: She 'once again has found a way to become part of the story'...
CBSNEWS: 'Plays the victim card'...
NBCNEWS: 'Ignorant' for using 'blood libel' term...
After they made her part of the story blaming her for the plight of the victim(s) they attack her as being ignorant. Their ignorance of themselves, ethics and the use of a phrase such as blood libel is appalling.

The Blame Gamers Have Forgotten Gabrielle Giffords
They never really needed her except for the image of a bullet hitting her skull. After that it was a simple trajectory of political blame and their game of one-upmanship to attempt to destroy their opponents. A body would have been nice, but not a necessity.
The necessity was to smash Palin or the Tea Party or Republicans or all of them in one blow that would probably have been possible before the Internet and cable when dinosaur media ruled the Democrat presses and airwaves.
The necessity now is to control the debate to win concessions concerning talk radio, net neutrality, Second Amendment rights and the Fairness Doctrine. No crisis should be wasted.
There never was nor is there a necessity to think of Gabrielle Giffords as a living breathing hurt human being. It might be a public relations convenience, but not a neccessity that she has a husband who loves her, but he makes a good backdrop of the astronaut and naval aviator. That he and other family members are in pain is really not important.
God can't answer the prayers of those that only pray at the altar of politics, but He will answer the prayers of people praying for the recovery of another human because no matter the politics they bring humanity to the altar of God.
I hope He hears my pitiful prayer that in the midst of this blame game we remember Gabrielle Giffords and all those that love her.

Jerrold Nadler Best Constitution Scholar Evah!
Jerrold, our bon vivant about town and from the scholarly climes of truth versus the idiotic said that the reading of the Constitution was ritualistic, ergo wrong, appears to be neither a scholar nor a knowledgeable person. Surprising? Nah.
I stole this shamelessly from The Coalition of the Swilling. It's what I envision if Jerrold was asked to quote that which he studied with Talmudic intensity which he claims he has done. Jerrold is a fool and a buffoon. But who didn't know that, eh?

ASPCA And Saccharin Overkill
I like watching home improvement shows so I can see what I should be doing if I actually got off the couch. Watching these programs one gets used to being indoctrinated by agendas not yours such as the preponderance of gay couples fixing up their houses and that all husbands are dolts. Very few of these episodes show people with pets.
So why is ASPCA flooding these shows with their ads? The ads show wounded hurting animals with sad eyes in cages that are cold and hard as musical artists like Willie Nelson and Lilith Fair's reigning queen of emotionalism, Sarah McLachlan wail in the background to put you in the right mood to cry as you grab the phone to give away all your money to the ASPCA.
The ads play more than the ambulance chasing mesothelioma lawyer ads. They play constantly and to the point I have to stop watching and actually go do some home improvement.
I hate the ads. I detest them.
We have three dogs, all of which were abused, which we love to death and they are happy and feeling quite the family members. As I write I am surrounded by them peacefully snoring away. Well, Minnie has her right rear leg going with a yelp now and then, but with a smile.
Maybe, instead of trying to help animals or raise funds the ASPCA is trying to get gay couples and stupid husbands to adopt pets. Whatever the case Willie and Sarah are out of my music library and the ASPCA won't get another thought let alone any shekels of mine. They make sleazy lawyers and used car dealer ads showing salesmen jumping out of helicopters wearing Superman outfits look classy.

Rep Giffords Shot. DU Immediately Blames Sara Palin & Tea Party
Before the doctors can even complete their work and before the public knows the facts of this tragedy, liberal Democratic Underground has decided that Sara Palin should be tried for assassinating Rep. Giffords. They are idiots who will never waste a crisis that they believe enables them to blame those they disagree with.
My prayers are with Rep. Giffords, her staff, all those injured or killed and their families.
I am sure that Rich, Dionne, Krugman, et al are ginning up this meme already. They never let a tragedy go to waste if it benefits them and their agenda.

Misunderstanding American Conservatism Completely
I've never thought E. J. Dionne a particularly interesting or wise man, but with his newest column he has given us a clear understanding of him as a political commenter.
"Small Government" Talk is Just Rhetoric
Alas for all of us and for American conservatism in particular, the new Republican majority that took control of the House on Wednesday is embarked on an experiment in government by abstractions. Many in its ranks pride themselves on being practical business people, but they behave as professors in thrall to a few thrilling ideas.
Rhetoric. Practical. Professors. Experiment. Notwithstanding that our whole form of government is an experiment I can only guess that to Dionne there are good experiments and bad experiments and of course such declarations of success and failure should be his call. Also, I can only guess that to Dionne practical is relative, but it is an educated guess.
That leaves us with Dionne's words professor and rhetoric which are worlds and words that Dionne revels in as a practical experiment to understand the bankrupt, both financially and ethically, world the rest of us mere conservatives reside in.
Dionne could have saved us time by simply stating that he believes Republicans have already failed in all their endeavours and should immediately knuckle under to Obama, Dionne's ideological dream.

Madhatter Of Congress (I Mean That In The Nicest Way)
Wearing hats is her fashion signature and she owns a vast collection of them. She’d like a 173 year-old rule of the United States House of Representatives changed so she can wear her hats on the House floor while working during session.
via Webutante
I had to look for more pics. There are tons because she has collected hats for 30 years and believes the hats and coordinated suits (canary yellow, fire engine red, etc.) define her.
Her priority as a new member is to have rule banning hats on the floor of the House changed and wants Speaker Boehner to rescind the rule. He can't. Not by himself.
I think the whole world would like to see an American Congressman wearing a cowboy hat with a matching canary yellow suit while in the well of the House. It just screams gravitas.
Hats off to you Frederica.
Steny Hoyer Says We Are From Unhappy Families
It's a good thing he didn't just come out and call us trailer trash. I'd have to don my Oshkoshs and BB silkies and git up there to set him straight. Actually, my family was as happy as it could be where two sets of grandparents showed up regularly and my five older sisters had to put up with cutie-pie me. Fortunately I didn't have to share everything with my sisters. Maybe that's unfortunate to Steny, but I drew the line at hand-me-down Capri pants and training bras.
Hoyer: Tea Party People Come From Unhappy Families
There are a whole lot of people in the Tea Party that I see in these polls who don’t want any compromise. My presumption is they have unhappy families. All of you have been in families: single-parent, two-parents, whatever. Multiple parent and a stepfather. The fact is life is about trying to reach accommodation with one another so we can move forward. That is certainly what democracy is about. So if we are going to move forward compromise is necessary.
Fortunately for our Republic compromise is mitigated by a majority. Unfortunately, my family was never even remotely considered a democracy. Especially by Dad. Hoyer is full of hooey. And his Mom wore combat boots.

It's Official: Boehner In And Pelosi Out
The ever prescient Nana said just before the last election:
Pelosi vows: I’ll still be Speaker five weeks from now
But........
It's Official: GOP's Boehner Is Speaker Of The House
Good riddance and good news for the nation!

Jerrold Nadler To Pick Up Mantle Of "Clown Of Congress" From Defeated Alan Grayson
Reporters, worried that classic clown fodder would no longer be available with the defeat of Alan Grayson are relieved that Jerrold of Wall Street has, without skipping a beat, continued Alan Grayson's clown act in congress with stupidly false statements.
House Republicans Say Democrats Can Join in Recitation of Constitution
The exercise, apparently prompted by loud complaints that Democratic lawmakers and the Obama administration have ignored the Constitution, has drawn ridicule in some quarters. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), former chairman of the Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, said the GOP is treating the founding document like a "sacred text." Nadler called it a "ritualistic reading" for propaganda purposes.
It is not clear if Grayson left his famously large clown shoes for Nadler's use or if Nadler has had his own custom shoes fitted.
