APB: Where Is Zack Space?

!!All Points Bulletin!!

I swear, we take our eyes off that boy for 5 seconds and he just vanishes. At least Mary Jo got all arty at the gallery hop, but Lil' Zack is just plain missing during the Easter break. Mary Jo also got together with Sherrod Brown for what the Columbus Dispatch called a "victory lap" after the health care "reform" vote. Some victory, eh? Plus, that coulda mighta been a real hostile crowd there at gallery hop. Yeah, like there was a danger of raging conservatives cruising for art, looking for that perfect little piece for the nook just outside their guns and money vault at home.

Zack, it seems, did attend a meet and greet in Logan and spoke to a few people, but otherwise most voters haven't a clue where Zack is in the district. Is he even in the district?

So, where is Zack Space?

Man Plans, God Laughs: Reid Laughs, God Pans

Reid mocks Palin during speech
"I was going to give a few remarks on the people who were over here a week ago Saturday," Reid said in a video posted by Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren, "but I couldn't find it written all over my hands.

Fabulous line flub. Maybe you'll notice defeat "written all over" your face in November. Loser.

Thunder And Lightening: Rockin' And Rollin' In Ohio

The ground was shaking, rain was coming down in waves and lightening made the dogs hide under the table. (BTW, these were shot with a tripod, but as I said, it was rockin' and rollin' here)

Obama Nukes Nukes: Let's Tell Our Enemies How We Won't Defend Ourselves

Obama said, “I’m going to preserve all the tools that are necessary in order to make sure that the American people are safe and secure,” except nuclear weapons and he wants our enemies to know that.

How special.

Obama Limits When U.S. Would Use Nuclear Arms
“Our expectation is not that there’s just some vague, gauzy statement about us not wanting to see loose nuclear materials,” he said. “We anticipate a communiqué that spells out very clearly, here’s how we’re going to achieve locking down all the nuclear materials over the next four years.”

There won't be anything gauzy about China, Russia, Venezuela, North Korea and Iran saying through deed, "Go pound some sand, you fool," when asked to give up all their nuclear weapons. Even ill-mannered adults will find a reason to remain ill-mannered if being so determines their survival.

These are the same nations that, in a world crisis, will know that our president will blink. That is who he is, a president who thinks national security crisis can be solved by class room discussions. That way everyone can then go out for a beer.

No nukes! Beer summit!! Drink until you puke!

There's always tomorrow. Unless...

Christ Is Risen

1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4 and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

Giovanni Bellini

ca. 1430 - 1516

Venetian painter, son of Jacopo Bellini (approx 1400–1471) brother of Gentile Bellini (approx 1429–1507), both painters.

At first Giovanni is influenced by the work of his contemporary and family-member Andrea Mantegna. Later he develops a style of his own, with softer shapes and exuding an almost poetic atmosphere.

Bellini paints mostly religious pieces, among which a series of lovely Madonnas. One of the most prominent painters in Venice of his time. As such put in charge of the fabrication of the decorations in the Doges Palace, lost in a fire in 1577.

"I feel lied to, cheated and raped."

It is a wonder it took this long for Democrat s, liberals and progressives to get scared of the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement undercuts and puts lie to what they said America truly wanted, ie, a president like Obama and his ideas.

I have to chuckle when I hear elected officials like Chuckles Schumer say that HCR will help the Democrats win more seats next November. Boy, mix in Cap and Trade and the ever popular (and proven!) climate legislation based on the AGW theory and it should, according to Chuckles, give them whole damned Congress. Yeah, Chuckles is safe in his seat, but that's like being voted craziest by the insane asylum.

Disgruntled Democrats join the Tea Party
"We hear from folks, probably at every rally, who say, 'I was a Democrat,' " Levi Russell, communications director for the Tea Party express tour, said.

"Having more Democrats join the movement shows that it is more representative of the American people than the antics of the Obama, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi, Reid leadership," Russell said.

I have quite a few educators in my family who have lived by the NEA's rule, much the same as regular union rules, wait, anyway, they took the bribes to keep their mouths shut about what was really going on in education in America. That most of them now state a fondness for the Tea Party movement isn't making them Republicans, but it shows a rift that is undeniable, especially a rift amongst those belonging to the teacher's union, liberal shock troops for decades.

Before The Storm

Crazy Baby Huey Chavez Wants Nukes From Putin

I can't think of anything more comforting than comfort food, but Venezuela's Hugo Chavez having nuclear power comes mighty close. I mean, he did fight off an invasion by President George Bush and intergalactic star fighters. That's where the space tech comes in; starfighters, death stars and midnight black hole helicopters. With Wookiees.

Putin bolsters oil, defense ties with Venezuela

* Chavez wants nuclear energy, space technology

* Venezuela beefing up defenses with Russian arms

* Russian companies to produce oil from Orinoco belt

* Putin also meeting Bolivia's Morales (Recasts, update with meeting)

Vlad the Impaler is meeting with his buddy Hugo and Evo, two pees in a pod, about increasing Russia's presence in South America. And you know Vlad is simply trying to export feedom and liberty to our brothers and sisters to the south.
 
So, Venezuela, being the largest producer of oil in South America, how is that socialist thing working out for you? We'll be so lucky when Obama gets it done here. Who needs stable electricity. Or good health care, eh?

A Family Barn Raising In Ohio

Large wooden barns have been a northwest Ohio farm staple since the 1800s, sheltering livestock, providing enclosed work areas and offering storage for hay, straw, grain and farm equipment. A "barn raising" was often a community event in which neighbors, friends and family members of all ages gathered to construct a barn. While men worked on the barn, youngsters carried water for thirsty workers and fetched needed items, and women prepared bountiful meals for the participants. This May 1911 photograph shows a group of 41 men, women and children at a barn raising on the Wade Rethmel farm on Rethmel Road south of Evansport. The barn, which still stands, is now owned by Don and Anita Rethmel. As time passed, wooden barns fell into disfavor due to changes in farming and livestock management practices, larger farm equipment and less maintenance intensive building alternatives. The numerous historic barns that once dotted the local landscape continue to disappear as the years pass, severing an historical tie with the area's early agricultural methods.

ObamaCare's Immediate Impact

As applications to medical school drop and more and more doctors calling it quits, especially tort favorites such as OB/GYN, expect more doctors to post signs like this. Just before they quit.

Kasich For Governor

I am a supporter of John Kasich. I have been since he was my congressman. John came from a union/Democrat family in Pennsylvania, but as a college student here in Ohio wrote a letter to then President Nixon who was impressed enough that he invited John to the White House. John is smart, very conservative and will be a great governor of Ohio, unlike the, ahem, governor we currently have.

John Kasich must be doing a lot of things right in his campaign because to liberal/progressive wing of the Democrat Party here in Ohio is going nuts over his candidacy. The thing that bugs them the most is that he is good enough and smart enough to have earned a lot of money.

I think that which bugs them the most is what they most don't understand.

330,00 Putzes After The 8 Year Reichstaging Bush Want Apology

Liberal group march meets pushback

Three liberal groups say about 330,000 people have signed their petition to the RNC, which urges Republicans to 'apologize for your hate-spewing proxies in the Tea Party Patriots.'

Apology? Hey guys, the check is in the mail...

'We'll Have To Kill Somebody, I Guess'

Lying Truth To Power Or The Media's Libel For The Left

The lies of the left have always been bunched in mass waves and have been so audacious that belief must be suspended in such a way that even when disproved the lies leave a stench that routinely becomes part of the history by altering the truth of real events.

The Tea Party movement is a natural wave of voter sentiment which makes it very dangerous to the status quo whether it resides in the halls of Congress, the board rooms of corporations, the halls of academia or the offices of reporters and editors. The Tea Party movement, in their minds, must be destroyed. With their own network of code words and systems of symbiotic support as the tactical methods of astroturfing a meme it is with total disbelief, in their minds, that an actual grass roots movement could really exist.

How could the status quo fight back? Time to pull out the hot wire of American politics. It's a proven winner!

A Closer Look at the Capitol Steps Conspiracy
William Douglas, an African-American reporter for the liberal McClatchy Newspapers, seems to have broken the story at 4:51 PM on Saturday, March 20, just hours after the alleged incident took place. Douglas did so with the seriously inflammatory headline, "Tea party protesters scream 'nigger' at black congressman."


At 7:21 PM that same evening, Douglas upped the ante with a headline that moved from inflammatory to incendiary: "Tea party protesters call Georgia's John Lewis 'nigger.'"

As Douglas reminds his audience in the lead of the second posting, "civil rights icon" Lewis, now a Georgia congressman, "was nearly beaten to death during an Alabama march in the 1960s." The focus on Lewis encouraged the Washington Post's Colby King to opine a few days later that "[t]he angry faces at Tea Party rallies are eerily familiar. They resemble faces of protesters lining the street at the University of Alabama in 1956."

King's take perfectly mirrored the Democratic talking points. If the immediate strategy was to discredit the Tea party movement as racist and split the movement's base from the Republican Party, then it was working splendidly.
 
When the Tea Party was in its infancy the main stream media ignored it or, if pressed, ridiculed it. As the movement grew the meme became that it was nothing more than angry old white men dressed up as dead white men while screaming at politicians, but the movement continued to grow. Then the meme expanded to the notion that the Tea Party was actually an effort at astroturfing which was an image they could imagine, but the movement kept growing.

New anti Tea Party astroturf needed to be manufactured. One can almost hear the ideas being kicked around when someone latches onto a 'racist' meme. White, old, men dressed in colonial clothing must be racist, right? Those colonial guys had slaves. The president is an African-American! Connect, lock and load. We've got headlines.

Can somebody scream 'nigger', please. No? Then we'll do it for you. Got spit? We'll say that someone laid one on an 'iconic' black congressman. We'll dredge up images of old, white, men who beat and berated that icon in the Selma, Alabama of 1965. In fact, we'll manufacture whole groups of chanters chanting "kill the bill 'nigger'" while spitting. It's all the same, then and now, except an African-American is president which is why then is now. It has to be if only to prove that the African-American president's policies are what America needs, even if Tea Partyers don't want them, which, by the way, makes any opposition racist.

Too bad there were so many cameras. They are a game changer. The lies become part of the permanent record for all to see.

Voting Is My Calling, I Return Those Calls Often

"The Ohio primary isn't for another five weeks, but voters can actually begin casting ballots today." Pretty much says it all in that one sentence. Voters casting ballots. Ballots. Plural.

Remember when Jennifer Brunner was all against voter ID to stop voter fraud because making sure a voter was who they said they were was actually an evil plot to suppress the vote? Voter suppression doesn't seem to bother Jennifer now, what with all her new rulings that she is being forced to enforce, like making a voter swear on somebody’s secret decoder ring that they really are a part of the party they want to vote for if they're switching parties. At the polling station in front of other people. Before you will be allowed to vote. Unless you're a Greenie, Commie or Socialist voter because then you're exempt.

Absentee voting is rife with fraud through out the country and has been for years. It used be an accurate joke that Chicago's dead came back to life at least once every four years just to vote. I personally was told in a Louisiana parish office that a local citizen, at the time approximately 150 years old, had never missed a vote and never would. Now, it appears the nation is voting as never before.

Grannies with dementia are voting numerous times from their nursing home beds while facility workers turn a blind eye as they put the bribe in their pocket. Campaign workers from out of state are making sure their absentee ballots are in here in Ohio before they return back to their states where presumably they voted absentee as well. Friendly volunteers, usually from out of state, help not just the elderly, but also the insane, the mentally incapacitated, the drunks and of course the homeless to fill out the absentee ballot for the candidate of their choice. The volunteer’s choice.

Proponents use all kinds of bogus excuses such as it increases voting when in actuality it doesn't and in many cases decreases the number of ballots cast. But those proponents know this and they don't care because in reality, absentee voting is just another way to steal elections in the name of "protecting" the validity of the vote.

Code Pink Once Again Crushes Freedom Of Speech With The Oppression Of Lies

Code Pink, as predictable as crap in a crap house.



At what point will Code Pink shout down other lying war mongers and speak their truth to power schtick.

Boxer: Senate floor Oct. 3, 2002: "I do not doubt that Iraq is up to no good. I know they are. That is why I voted for the Iraq Liberation Act. We know that Iraq has biological and chemical weapons and that they used them against Iran and against its own Kurdish minority. We know that following the Persian Gulf war, Iraq promised to abide by the demands of the U.N. but failed to live up to its commitment. They have not allowed unfettered inspections. They have lied about chemical and biological weapons programs. And they continue to seek the capability to produce nuclear weapons."

Maybe Code Pink will catch Karl Rove and Barbara Boxer in bed together again at some point in the near future.

It's So Progressive To Lie About A Lie To Try To Make It True

In a transparent attempt to make a lie look as if it is the truth, Progress Ohio tells a second lie. This concerns the Democrat congressman who said he was spit on, though there is no proof, and PO props up the false contention by saying that afterward a Republican congressman went up to congratulate the supposed spitter for his dastardly deed.



I guess PO is just following orders from its overlords at Progress Now. In Denver.
