Ezra: Yes, it's a gimmick (giggle).
Reading comprehension isn't what it used to be, eh? Say, over 100 years ago?

Once Again Obama Tells Voters To Screw Off
How unfortunate for Obama that the American people have a say in their government. When the current Congress isn't kowtowing to the One he ignores them. If Obama wasn't the duly elected president he would be on the CIA's Most Wanted List.
So much for bipartisanship -- a slew of recess appointments
Yep, Obama can't even get his people okayed by his rubber stamp Congress so he waits for a recess to slip them in. Especially the most egregious appointments.
How Obama. Screw off America. I don't need no stinkin' okay from the likes of you.

No Legislation Without Representation
I own the World has a great post you should read and comment on and then pass along to other people concerning the circumvention of our Constitution.
‘We The People’ Need to Protect Our Constitution
'We the people' means nothing to Obama and his administration so it it time we the people take our government back.

LaGuardia 48 Hours After The Storm
The storm hit and the preparations and recovery were bungled badly. We were lucky to be on a flight that wasn't cancelled and actually took off.
LaGuardia airport and others reopen, but stranded fliers still face ordeals
These are the same government officials that support Obama's takeover of our lives.

Yank E. Doodle's 2011 Wish List
Yank is going to be busy helping old Cub Scouts out on the eve of the New Year so he stopped by for a nip of Flip (the aqua vitae) bringing his good friend Increase Mather which was a real downer for the Doodle family. All in all it was a good time and many a good thought was bandied about the abode.
You must understand that Yank is a down to earth type with a sense that should be common to all, but unfortunately isn't. Where Increase tends to pontificate Yank speaks to the heart of the nation. He had some thoughts not often spoken in the town square or near the town crier.
Yank's thoughts on the direction of a nation intending to stay a nation:
1. Why do we put up with politicians that lie? Oh, they may classify such villainous behavior as "speaking truth to power", but let us be bold in saying they take power by spaking no truth. I say let them have Pillory! With rotten vegetables. Publicly.
2. Where in the history of nations does it say that diplomatically putting up with enemies that constantly threaten us is more appropriate than squashing them like bugs to better allow us to be more productive and happier in our lives?
3. Alex Hamilton is a smart bastard, but his banks and taxes will get out of hand. Trust me on this. They will. It's their nature. They say a pence when they mean a pound (see #1). Soon they'' tax our living and call it a good thing. Don't get me started on Benny Franklin and all of his "good works" crap. Taxes will deform a man's vision of work and will be the doom of us as men with no function will profit from the publik square for no benefit, but their own.
4. Tommy Jefferson has got to step up to the plate. No more mister nice guy. All those books (see #3) have him talking to Adams which means more guvment which means more King Charles and his mad court right here in our Confederation (see #1). I thought the idea was not to allow guvment to tell us what we can do, but for us to tell guvment what they can't do. Mark my words, we'll need the constitution to make a document or something. It's come to that!
5. Paddy Henry is barking up the right tree with his "Give me liberty or give me death" stuff. He told me just the other day that some people were saying that government owed them something (see #4). Huh? Where's the liberty in that? They're sounding like a bunch of sissified Frenchies waiting for a favor from Court.
Alas, Yank had to go back to work. Increase having never uttered a coherent thought nipped some Flip for the ride home. Back to work meself, it is.

States Losing Pop Lost Dough
The Tax Prof revisits the top states losing population and points to their tax rates as the culprit. I would also be interested in their tax structure for individuals and for business.
Out of interest I went to look at the election results for those states to see which populations have learned from their past voting mistakes. Those that learned have a tough road ahead, but those who didn't learn, well, I bet they'll have their greasy little palms out pretty soon.
The biggest congressional losers in the census voted this way in the 2010 elections:
New York Stayed D except St Sen Worst Mayor Bloomberg-NYC
Ohio Went R Worst Mayor Mallory-Cincinnati
Massachusetts Stayed D (what, no Boston?)
Michigan Went R Worst Mayor Bing-Detroit, Majewski-Hamtranck
New Jersey na Worst Mayor Booker-Newark, Redd-Camden, Jones-Paterson
Pennsylvania Went R Worst Mayor McMahon-Reading
Illinois Stayed Dem Worst Mayor Gerl-Joliet, Daly-Chicago
Iowa Went R
Louisiana na
Missouri Went R
California will probably be the first state to whine like the baby they are for money to right all their wrongs, because in the end it is really our fault they can't live in the real world. Look for NY, MA and IL to start crying in unison when California starts. Then the whole nursery will start screaming.

NYT Has Finally Jumped The Shark
and not a minute too soon.
NYT MONDAY: Jon Stewart 'modern-day equivalent of Edward R. Murrow'... Developing...
I started to find the NYT and those that needed to hang on its daily word a tad foolish years ago. Actually it was more than years ago. It was back when the earth was still cooling.

What I Got For Christmas
I got few presents because for us it is more about family and the birth of Jesus. What I received is useful, nice and actually what I wanted.
I also got some presents I didn't want, don't need and are as useless as the governance we've been creeping towards since the "I Like Ike" era.
I got reporters that continue to lie about everything under the sun and beyond.
I got Republicans that think Obama will be just fine.
I got a lame duck that should've been put out of its misery before it got lame.
I got clueless Republicans.
I got a refurbished death panel.
I got a lot of things I wish I could return tomorrow.
UPDATE: The comics at the NYT just dropped another present in my lap.

Birth Of Christ
 |
| click to enlarge |
This unfinished panel in the Uffizi is nonetheless a masterpiece of the Florentine Renaissance. Observe the application of Albertian principles to draw the view in (the figures looking out at us or gesturing at us to look in), Leonardo’s own theories about creating dramatic contrasts between figural types (young and old, beautiful and harsh), and Renaissance rules of geometry, like the strong triangle created by the central figures. In its unfinished state this panel also teaches us about the mater’s technique of working on a dark panel and building up first the shadows, then the colour.

China Isolates Itself Further As Country Starts Its Fall
China with its economy may implode. The United States with its economy may implode. Our Congress meets this pending disaster with repeal of DADT and more government. China's government meets their disaster by banning English words in publications and more government.
In a world where stupidity has been affordable for years it is only a guess which government is more stupid. China holds our future by holding our debt and we hold their future by buying or not buying their exports. A financial version of MAD.
There would be little difference if we swapped leadership.

Marine Corps Bumper Sticker
"It's God's Job to Forgive Bin Laden -- It's Our Job To Arrange The Meeting"
Obama Signs Do Ask Do Tell And Exhibits Total Disconnect With Reality
"People will look back at this moment and wonder why it was even a controversy in the first place."
Obama to sign DADT repeal before big, emotional crowd
Obama doesn't know why it was controversial? Therein lies a deep disconnect and a problem for us when our leader states such an incredibly naive thought.
Obama signs historic bill ending "don't ask, don't tell"
Liberals and progressives are kicking our butts in this lame duck session not only with legislation by also byroyal federal decree and each new blow is designed to deflect public attention from what has been done.
From the federal takeover of the Internet to the destruction of the family farm through "safe food" legislation to outing thousands of gays in the military this administration and their fellow travelers in Congress and the bureaucracy are deconstructing our Republic into their own twisted image.

The Socialist Takeover Of The Internet
We got blindsided by wealthy socialist/marxist groups and the ramifications will shackle us in ways we don't yet understand. We don't understand because we don't think like socialists and can't begin to comprehend their faith in failed systems such as Socialism and Marxism. Nor can we comprehend their fear and hatred of freedom.
The Net Neutrality Coup
The campaign to regulate the Internet was funded by a who's who of left-liberal foundations
Indeed, it is a coup against us and against freedom. We lost.

FCC "Fixes" What Ain't Broken
It's about power and control by the United States Government and the Obama administration over private citizens.
Net nuetrality? Just like regulating the telephone system? BS.
Divided FCC adopts internet rules
When will leftist's other big government bullies find that enough is enough? Never. They are the real obesity problem in America. Fat headed and way to big. Fire them all and start over.

Beware Thyself
Attorney General's Blunt Warning on Terror Attacks
What was uppermost on his mind, however, is the alarming rise in the number of Americans who are more than willing to attack and kill their fellow citizens.
"It is one of the things that keeps me up at night," Holder said. "You didn't worry about this even two years ago -- about individuals, about Americans, to the extent that we now do. And -- that is of -- of great concern."
Amen. 2012, please time warp here and now. The assault has become too much.

How Much Will Lame Ducks Gregg & Voinovich Screw Republicans & The Country
First DADT, then the odious food bill written to kill the family farm amd now we have the obviously Russian written START treaty.
Dems reach magic number on arms treaty as GOP support builds
“I’m leaning toward supporting the treaty but I want to makes sure our side gets a fair hearing,” Sen. Judd Gregg (N.H.) said.
Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio: “I support it.”
It's quite a legacy these people are leaving with this type of anti-Republican which are anti-America votes.

If States Like Ohio Want To Gain Population And Business They Must Go Conservative
Yep, states are losing population which leave soon after liberals impose their policies which drives business out state. And liberals don't get it.
New population count may complicate Obama 2012 bid
The only way possible for a state to rebound is with a good business environment which will bring a good environment of quality life. Ohio is a perfect example of how to ruin a state which liberal tax and spend policies have been pursued by Democrats and RINOs.

The Tea Party Defeated The Dream Act & Will Defeat Those Who Voted For The Repeal Of DADT
Nothing like a progressive president to remind voters what they don't like about government.
Who Killed DREAM? The Tea Party Did
Making illegal immigrants legal just to grow the Democrat base is wrong. Making the military fall in line with business just to pay the base back for their voting and donation support is wrong. The military is not just like other entities. It stands alone in its rules and regulation to do its sole mission well which is to kill and win wars. Homosexual awareness seminars will not further that goal. Placing new guidelines for a newly recognized group within the military for promotion and command will not further that goal.
Who will assign who to which barracks...
