Americans angry over the bailouts, stimulus funny money and the general "too big too fail" mentality amongst the financial geniuses in Washington will be thrilled to find out that billions of dollars went to Europe. Our banks are being hammered by bad loans pushed on them by Bwarney Frank, Dodd and the other losers in Congress and those banks have failed, lost 100s of millions or have had to hose shareholders, but foreign banks got the bucks even as their governments lectured America on economics.
European banks took big slice of Fed aid
Many of the worst dim bulbs and losers got tossed in the last election because of thinking such as this. Now it is time to toss the president and his economic allies in the Senate in the next election. This economic theory isn't a theory anymore, it is a proven disaster from stimulus, cap and trade, bailouts, health care reform and buying huge chunks of corporations to support their buddies the unions.
Cut spending by 10%, cut government programs by 10% and fire 25% of bureaucrats including contractors. That'd be a start. In the second round do it it all over again.

NYT Once Again Is There Only To Serve And Protect
The New York Times is laughable in a world where the sound of laughter only makes the Times dig deeper into its well of smug indifference to reality.
A Note to Readers: The Decision to Publish Diplomatic Documents
For The Times to ignore this material would be to deny its own readers the careful reporting and thoughtful analysis they expect when this kind of information becomes public.
As usual, once the NYT thinks they have reached the bottom they call for diagrams from within their pool of diggers as to dig deeper.
The "deny its own readers the careful reporting and thoughtful analysis they expect" line is delicious, but de rigueur in a world of self delusion.

Media Matters: Two Dollar Whores In A Ten Dollar World
Media Matters Lies About Media Coverage of Sarah Palin North Korea Slip
To be fair to the rest of the press, with their veneer of lipstick, they're two-twelve, maybe two-thirteen, if you have the correct change and are willing to haggle.
Whichever, they do have their integrity, eh?

Obama's Harold Koh Has the Gravitas of Pudding
Mr. Nuance, Barry Obama. has an administration that woulda, if they coulda, screwed up a Miss Dairy Cow Queen puff bill in Congress. It appears that nuanced diplomatic outreach by the United States has devolved into grade school bitchiness.
The administration is scrambling to deflect un-nuanced references and descriptions of foreign leaders by the oafs at Foggy Botttom. That group could and does screw up a common tea party held by 5 year olds with their imaginary friends.
They have the light touch of a barbarian seeking acceptable congress with the daughter of an enemy foreign leader. Over an especially messy dinner. Without utensils and napkins.
Now this group of morons has set the bar in doubling down on WikiLeaks wimp, Mr I'm gonna have a comb over as soon as I reach puberty, Assange to a new low. They will ignore leaks that will kill our agents, friends and helpers. These allies are expendable to nuanced loser bastards who should have never been hired by a loser who should never been elected president. A teacup tempest by teacup president who have created an international crisis by being stupid, small minded know-nothings because they are totally incapable of running a lemonade stand in Tupelo on a quiet Monday night. Well, they might actually try to run a lemonade stand if Eric Holder's DOJ doesn't stop and fine the group of youngsters from even opening said business. Little kids and lemonade is so much more important than benign New Black Panther members thwarting the vote, eh?
Kohl actually stated with out equivocation that:
He said the U.S government would not deal with WikiLeaks at all in determining what may or may not released.
"We will not engage in a negotiation regarding the further release or dissemination of illegally obtained U.S. government classified materials," wrote Koh, who is considered to be one of the world's top experts in international law and was reportedly considered for a seat on the Supreme Court.
If this Milquetoast actually had anything to categorically refer to actual fact, the entire administration would fall to their knees in horror that they might be looked upon in horror as decisive. That would be seen in the international scene in a bad light.
So, Koh isn't going to do anything because by doing so he might lend credence to WikiLeaks. Obama has to be feeding him instructions. And Koh must be listening.
How embarrassing is that?

Boy Attempts To Bomb Religious Ceremony In The Name Of The Religion Of Peace
He wished that all who attended leave either dead or injured. His god must be proud.
Corvallis man arrested in Christmas tree ceremony bomb plot
The boy wanted to do this for his religion. Even as he was asked to think about what he wanted he instead made a video to show his bravery and dedication to jihad.
He looks like a punk version of Grace Jones.

The EPA Is A Toxic Dump Filled With Hidden Taxes
Bureaucrats are unelected thus have no mandate, but they increasingly more our rulers than Congress. They mandate. They push regulations onto us that we have not asked for nor want. They tax us through every possible method including compliance fees, mandatory rules for business and through fines for everything you can imagine.
Homeowners Now Must Pay EPA's Hidden Tax
Who put these bureaucrats in place? Who gave them the power to bypass the Constitution? If they are there by the grace of elected officials, first, the elected officials should be voted out of office and then the bureaucrats should be replaced by no one.
People talk of cutting government by this percentage or that percentage, which is a good thing, but I say cut the bureaucracy by 25 percent starting in January.

It's a start. Who knows, she might actually start be a real representative. You know, like what's good for the people and that whole ethics thing.
Nah. She'll find a way around it.

If Government Was In Charge Of Deserts We'd Have A Sand Shortage
Autos, banks, health care, schools, insurance and on and on. Government wants it all. And to think early Americans thought Alexander Hamilton wanted a king.
FCC moves to ensure ‘net neutrality’
Now the government wants to 'regulate' the Internet. There won't be any death panels for porno sites, but they will decide what you can and cannot see. Soon our Internet will be as diverse as the BBC!

Her supporters think they are right that we'll regret what we say (and think) the first time a crazy 80 year old Luthern great-grandmother with an explosive knee replacement takes down a plane.
They'd be wrong.
Demos Don't Get Earmarks: It's not The $$, It's The Bribery
Republicans and Democrats that support earmarks keep up the mantra that their accepting bribes is good for their states and eliminating earmarks won't save any money.
It's not the money, it's the process. It's not how money will or will not be saved nor whether it is spent by Congress or whether it empowers the executive branch to spend the money as they want for political purchase.
It is about bribery.
If they still don't get it then they are too stupid to be in Congress. Earmarks are simply a symptom of the larger broken process in which government works and how legislation id passed. Bribery, tit-for-tat, backscratching or reaching across the aisle, whatever you call it, it is an evil that has grown to proportions that match the proportion in which government has grown.
If these bagmen still don't get it then have them study the Louisiana Purchase and the Cornhusker Kickback.
Stop the bribery. Stop Earmarks.

World Trade Center-Texas

| This is the World Trade Center (of San Antonio). San Antonio has some great old building stock all along Broadway. Broadway runs at a bit of a diagonal to the street grid just like New York's Broadway, so a lot of the buildings have skewed plans like parallelograms or trapezoids. That explains the dramatic foreshortening on this sketch. |

Thanksgiving: Time For Athiests And Libs To Kick Off Their Anti-Christ In Christmas Campaign
Tony Phyrillis reminded me
It is that jolly time of year when the wackjobs start bitching about how un-American it is to have Christmas displays displayed at Christmas, especially on government land. Government land that is owned by the people of the United States. It offends their nuanced sensibilities. Awwww.
Now, they want to use race as a reason to not put up anything religious for the vast majority of people who celebrate Christmas to enjoy.
How to p*ss off atheists
Chester County Commissioners Carol Aichele and Terence Farrell made the right decision by ending the annual dispute between a fringe group of atheists and the majority of county residents over what kind of holiday display should be placed at the Historic Chester County Courthouse.
The use of the race card against Farrell shows how desperate the atheists get when they lose the argument.
The majority must be stopped from terrorizing the minority be allowing the minority to terrorize the majority. All over a baby Jesus.

Republicans Helping Republicans: www.ChooseYourChairman.com
A little bird has told me that the Choose Your Chairman website is nothing more than a front for Maria Cino. The site purportedly is a poll to allow individuals to give their recommendation on who they think should be elected chairman of the RNC.
Is it any wonder that Maria Cino is far ahead of all other candidates? In fact she has more votes than the next three candidates. Hmmmm. Just what Republicans need. More shenanigans. Then we can be just like Democrats.

PRIORITY: First Lady Michelle To Put 5,000 Salad Bars In Schools Across The Nation!
I would have demanded that we spend money on this years ago if I had known the groundswell of salad bar support amongst the great unwashed in America.
White House to put up to 5,000 salad bars in schools
But schools also are deterred by USDA regulations that require students to pass by a cash register or "point of sale" station after they have been to the salad bar to ensure that they have served themselves the correct portions of fruits and vegetables required under the federal lunch program. In October, the USDA's Food and Nutrition Services division, which oversees the subsidized meal program, circulated a memo saying that while it encourages the use of salad bars in schools, school menu planners must tell students the minimum amounts they must take from salad bars, cashiers "must be trained to judge accurately the quantities of self-service items," and point-of-sale registers "must be stationed after the salad bar."
I'm assuming here that our incredibly caring government will use TSA to ensure students serve themselves an accurate quantity of self-service items. This is to prevent too many students from overdosing on radishes and arugula.
Of course, TSA officials will be stationed to do super pat downs on any students with too much cucumber trying to sneak past cashiers.
Is ourregime government great or what! I'm gonna call the government because I got a boo-boo because I wasn't careful. I sure hope thay can help me with my bad.

16 Of The Dumbest Things Americans Believe And The Vicious Lies Harming America!
16 of the Dumbest Things Americans Believe -- And the Right-Wing Lies Behind Them
lie1 /laɪ/ Show Spelled
[lahy] Show IPA
noun, verb, lied, ly·ing.
–noun
1. a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
2. something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture: His flashy car was a lie that deceived no one.
3. an inaccurate or false statement.
4. the charge or accusation of lying: He flung the lie back at his accusers.
LET'S LOOK AT THIS!
Polling data during and after last week’s midterm elections suggested that many Americans genuinely believe President Obama has raised their taxes.
Yes, people do believe this and should. When a government enacts changes that incur and enforce higher costs to individuals, that is a tax.
They flat out don’t think the world is getting warmer--despite the evidence outside their windows.
Yes, but scientists disagree on this subject and as more people find out how previous science was made to fit the conclusion made prior to the science then people doubt it more. Then there are the findings that the earth is cooling, but that is fact that one can’t see outside their window?
The new Congress will probably try to restore millions of dollars of funding for scientifically inaccurate, largely disastrous abstinence-only curriculum in schools, many of which have been shown to spread lies like "condoms don't work" and "abortion causes cancer."
“probably”. “condoms don’t work”. Yeah, saying it probably makes it so and every kid that has thought about condoms has also known about the probabilities of failure. Dumb kids.
News outlets picked up a wildly inflated and completely outlandish claim from an Indian blog that Obama’s trip abroad cost $200 million a day--and listeners have swallowed it.
Actually, many news outlets and tens of thousands of writers across the Net shot this down pretty damned quick, but this is just another example of right wing lunatics that are so dumb they did research and found it not true. (Hint, your back up here could be RACISM!, because the VRWC nuts disbelieved people of color in the Indian press. Think about it. It’s a natural for you)
Nearly one-fifth of Americans think Obama is a Muslim. Thanks, Fox news, for acting like this was a matter of opinion, not fact.
Nearly one-hundredth of Americans might think you’re smart enough to believe and that is a matter of opinion, not fact.
25 percent of Americans don’t believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution while less than 40 percent do.
Come on a say it outright, Faith is stupid and VRWC nutters are so stupid as to believe in the Bible. Most of those 40 percent who do believe are products of public school opinions and that’s a fact. Also, of that 40 percent, what is the factual number that accounts for those that actually understand what a theory is or the science behind the theory of evolution?
Earlier this year, nearly 40 percent of Americans still believed the Sarah Palin-supported lie about "death panels" being included in health care reform.
Earlier this year Americans were hearing experts speak of rationed care and that the Obama Administration official in charge of health care reform had lectured repeatedly on this subject. Are these ‘death panels”? "Death Panels"?, those really dumb Americans just have to jump to a conclusion that being denied coverage would mean death for some, but you’re right, there won’t be any “death panel” listed in any government run health care program.
As of just a few years ago, about half of Americans still suspected a connection between Saddam Hussein and the attacks of September 11, a lie that was reinforced by none other than Dick Cheney.
Yep, stupid Americans did think that terrorists, despots and Islamofascists were connected or at least on the same team worldwide. That’s as stupid as the almost unanimous Congress that believed (and voted) that Hussein had WMDs. Boy, the Democrat leadership is just as dumb as the Republican leadership. Throw them all out. Today. Now!
A majority of “young Americans” cannot identify Iraq or Afghanistan--the places their peers are fighting and dying--on a map.
Sure enough you’re right again and it’s all those dumb Americans that demand that the education of children in government run schools return to educating our children, but that would take money away from teaching nuance instead of fact, eh?
Two out of five Americans, despite the whole separation of church and state being a foundation of our democracy thing, think teachers should be able to lead prayer in classrooms. So it seems those right-wingers clamoring to tear down the wall between church and state aren’t the only ones who don’t know their constitutional principles.
Whoa, this is despicable when our American dumb and dumber class believe that it was a liberal SCOTUS which decided to use a line out of a Jefferson letter to be Constitutional. Maybe SCOTUS should take a few more lines out of other letters, say from Lincoln, that all African Americans should be sent back to Africa and make them part of the Constitutional. Say Liberia?
Many Americans still believe in witchcraft, ESP and other supernatural phenomena.
Yep, they do. Many Americans believe in other supernatural phenomena like Socialism and Communism. Those nuts actually believe those forms of government work and they have millions of dead deniers to prove how just those systems are. Dumb Americans.
Speaking of antiquated religious beliefs, about a decade ago, 20 percent of Americans still believed that the sun revolves around the earth. That's just sad, considering that even the Vatican has let Galileo off the hook for being right.
How dumb can we get!! The same poll shows that one-third of the under 30 year old crowd knew we won our independence from England. Stupid kids. They should sue their teachers because those teachers are part of this whole dumb and dumber problem and the teachers should sue the universities and the government that funds them for not adequately educating them. This dumb and dumber problem seems to be going all the way to the top! Good for the two out three crowd that didn't waste time actually thinking about England and our stupid revolution. They would have been called Tories and would've gone to schools such as Harvard to take part in the first anti-war protests which allowed them to become anti-stupid Atheist ministers.
Only about half of Americans realize that Judaism is the oldest of the three monotheistic religions. Other examples of wild misunderstanding about religion and the separation of church and state can be found in this fall’s Pew survey on Americans’ religious knowledge.
What!!!?? You mean to tell us that about half of Americans are still wasting their time thinking about antiquated and stupid things like religion? Mix that with the wild misunderstanding that some Americans actually believe that the Wall of Separation clause is in the Constitution and you can just see how much time these stupid Americans are wasting on stupid religions. Boy, I’m getting pissed now!
This one made a huge splash when it appeared. In 2006 more Americans were able to name two of the “seven dwarves” than two of the Supreme Court justices. And that was before Kagan and Sotomayor showed up. To be fair, Happy and Sleepy are easy to remember.
Yeah, and in the same poll six out ten Americans could name Bart as Homer’s son from The Simpsons, but only two in ten knew Homer and could name his works!!!! This is actually a good thing. It shows how smart Americans actually are! To think educators would actually waste precious time teaching about dead white guys who everybody knows are the root problem to all our ills as a society! You go guys, you smart Americans. You eight in ten should search out and crush those 2 who waste our time learning about our history because those 2 might just be closet religious nuts. Just sayin….
More Americans can identify the Three Stooges than the three branches of government--you know, the ones who are jockeying over our welfare.
You’re packing the bench with this one. It’s in the same poll about Homer’s son Bart, but I can see the important linkage and it allows you to make an impression of more polls supporting just how dumb Americans are. If enough Americans know about the three branches of government they may know about the dead white guys which gave us our unique system of government which will automatically allow dumb Americans to make that final leap from freedom, balance of power and philosophy to religion! Whew, we barely side stepped that puddle of stupidity.
Blaming Americans for being ignorant unwashed masses--or taking potshots at an education system that doesn’t teach critical thinking-- would be the easy answer to this conundrum.
Yes, it would be! Making such an easy answer to America’s problems that Americans are ignorant, dumb and stupid would be wrong! Especially when the evidence is just outside your window!
Oh, and Wilson was rude, but right on that whole illegal immigrants get health benefits thing, but too many dumb Americans actually believe facts and that is just plain stupid ain’t it?

Oh, and Wilson was rude, but right on that whole illegal immigrants get health benefits thing, but too many dumb Americans actually believe facts and that is just plain stupid ain’t it?

Robert Stacy McCain Eviscerates One Of The Vilest Pigots On The Web
It is a beautiful thing, so now read the whole thing.
Oh, and Smitty I had to cut you out so my gadzillion readers wouldn't have to see the vegetarian propaganda film, but I did get the "Hit the Freaking Tip Jar" button in. I have that going for you.

Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani VS Baracky And Barney Fife
It was a great campaign gimmick. Take a terrorist and treat him like a graffiti criminal so he can be tried in a criminal court just like a real American. Not a terrorist. Who isn't American. Who is a murderer through terrorist means.
That's what we get when Barney Fife and his twin Baracky decide it's a tad harsh to try a terrorist under the articles of war. Way to go Holder and Obama. You guys really had the team take 284 ones for the One.
Gitmo Detainee Acquitted Of 284 Terror Charges, Guilty Of One
Of course the Fife brothers had the help of Floyd Biden Lawson, Aunt Barney Bee Frank, the deceased Otis Teddy Campbell and Clara Kerry Edwards.
Way to go guys! Great run with this comedy. Terrorists around the world will now get a choice of laughing their butts off over our justice or our genital rubs. Emmys all around.
Morons.
