Backstory?

This is pretty interesting on several levels.  First, I had to put clothes on her, but as presented on Ka-Ching!, many of you will see things you've never seen before: pubic hair.  Second, his body language is playful, while hers not so much.  Makes you wonder what he did, wot? Third, there are several kids on the sideline watching.  From this, then, I have constructed a logical back story. A football match at this Brit AFB featured a first ever girl ref.  As a joke, the coach of the Barracks III team snuck up behind her and snatched her clothes.  You take it from there.

Obama Crapcare Crap

Restructuring a lie.  NowDems are forced to admit that Obamacare is one huge  tax in order to pass constitutional hurdles.

“ WASHINGTON — When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.” And that power, they say, is even more sweeping than the federal power to regulate interstate commerce. Administration officials say the tax argument is a linchpin of their legal case in defense of the health care overhaul and its individual mandate, now being challenged in court by more than 20 states and several private organizations.  Changing Stance, Administration Now Defends Insurance Mandate as a Tax ” I know we've had this civilizing  progress and stuff, but weren't we way better-off  when, if someone tried to cheat at the poker table. you just shot him? Damn straight we were.

Goldman Schmucks

The comment:

“ By  Locker Room, at Thu Jul 15, 07:06:00 PM: I worked for ten years for a former member of the Goldman Sachs Management Committee who made partner when the firm was about more than just making as much money as fast as it can, any way it can, risk be damned. He was the finest gentleman I've met in my thirty-plus year business career. TH - you know who I'm talking about. I've never seen a more blatant example of transparent insincerity than when I hear Blankfein heave up his garbage about the firm's devotion to its clients. Goldman doesn't have clients, it has counterparties. I feel badly for my former boss, having to live out his days seeing the firm he devoted his life to converting itself into a huge hedge fund and sinking to the disgusting level it has. The lightning speed with which Goldman converted itself to a bank holding company was laughable, but nothing could top hearing Blankfein say the firm had its CDS positions with AIG fully hedged and was in no danger - none at all - had AIG done a face-plant in the turf. Hey Lloyd, I may not be smart enough to work in your shop, but that doesn't make me a complete moron. So please, refrain from pissing on my shoes and telling me it's raining. Were these guys still playing with their own capital, Goldman would not be populated with all the grasping snakes now in residence there. When Wall Street's private partnerships converted to public ownership, the respect for firm capital vanished. The Street treats shareholders' capital the way Congress treats taxpayers' funds - it's strictly Other People's Money. And sadly, 99% of people on earth treat OPM with no more caution and respect than they do a glass of water. Tap water. I grew up in business having the strongest respect for the name Goldman Sachs and now everything about the place makes me want to puke.   ” Earlier: Coincidences in our time: Finreg becomes law,  and the SEC settles with Goldman Sachs I swiped the picture from here

Obama lawsuit invites fortified state militia

“ For one thing, Arizona can form and expand its own state militia. Such forces were common when our nation was founded, and the Second Amendment recognizes that a "well-regulated Militia" is "necessary to the security of a free State." In short, Arizona  and other states can raise and arm their own military forces. But, for what purpose can such forces legally act? ”

This is exciting because it goes legally to where we need to be going anyway at this juncture, IMO.  “ The Constitution is informative here. In Article IV, Section 4, the federal government is required to "protect each [state] against Invasion; and [on request of the state government] against domestic Violence." As St. George Tucker noted, this provision guards against "the possibility of an undue partiality in the federal government," for example a "sectional" president who might, for political reasons, decline to protect states in a certain region. Today the federal government, at the direction of the president, has declined to carry out its duty under Article IV. Leaving aside its other possible consequences, this intentional failure to protect Arizona raises the question of what action the state is now entitled to take under the Constitution. This brings us to Article I, Section 10, Clause 3, which provides that "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress ... engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay." So, the militias organized and armed by a state may go to war when the state has been invaded or is in imminent danger. This is clear under Article I, and plainly justified when the federal government has deliberately failed to protect against invasion as required by Article IV. (The Full Monty) ”

Shaky Legal Ground? LOL

I had to read this twice

“ EDITORIAL: The Kenya connection Obama administration efforts in Africa may violate federal law The Kenyan president wants a new constitution, one that opens the door to abortion on demand. President Obama is willing to use U.S. taxpayer dollars to persuade voters to approve the updated governing document, which would loosen regulations designed to protect the unborn, establish Muslim family courts and create a right to homosexual marriage. It's not unusual that Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki would see enactment of the provisions as a "government project," but Mr. Obama is on shaky legal ground when he commits U.S. government resources to it. [cont] ”

Grrrrr " .... $632,479.99 in federal grants whose explicit and direct purpose was rounding up affirmative votes [to allow abortion]" is on "shaky legal ground"?  So is Obama's entire presidency. Sheesh. . As an aside, I've been wondering.  Is it only the lower classes who, when faced with reckless behavior by someone whose guts they hate anyway, will jump up and down, hurl obscene invective and hand signals, and want to publish pornographic pictures of his mother having sex with a goat?  Or, is that pretty much universal?

With health and dieting on people's minds more than ever, some fast-food chains continue to buck the trend and give consumers more meat, more calories and more fat than ever before. ” If it's "bucking the trend," as Bruce Horovitz quaintly puts "offering choices," then the test market will fail.  Won't it?  Wanna bet onwhether the public accepts this product?  “ By Bruce Horovitz, USA TODAY The fast-food world has proof positive that size matters: a foot-long cheeseburger. A cheeseburger sold as a foot-long sandwich, with three burgers and three cheese slices, is being tested at 50 Carl's Jr. restaurants in Southern California and 50 Hardee's units in Indiana. That's the same chain that introduced the world to the 1,400-calorie Monster Burger and the Monster Breakfast Sandwich, with 47 grams of fat. PHOTO GALLERY: More outrageous foods DEMAND: KFC keeps selling bunless, meaty Double Down The move comes at a time fast-food chains are focused on concocting more items intriguingly low in price but large in size.

After fumbling for a few minutes, the driver managed to find it. "Now may I see your registration?" asked the cop. "Registration... what's that...?" asked the blonde. [Continued] ”

About That Financial Reform 'Victory'

“ That line did spur Tennessee's Bob Corker to rush into "bipartisan" talks, giving Democrats ammunition against his fellow Republicans. And in the end it proved enough to lure the GOP's weaker links—Massachusetts's Scott Brown and Maine's Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins—into Mr. Obama's trap. But that was it. All the forces of the White House's populist fury against Wall Street couldn't net it more than six House and Senate Republicans in total. That's because, like stimulus and health care, Democrats turned the financial regulation bill into a monstrosity. What started as a promise to streamline and modernize the financial system turned into 2,300 pages of new agencies and new powers for the very authorities that fomented the financial crisis. The bill is laden with uncertainty and brimming with costly regulations on small businesses. Sen. Chris Dodd and Rep. Barney Frank made it easy for Republicans to pronounce their bill more Obama Big Government—a "Main Street ” You'll note that in today's postings I've mostly  relied on others to supply the dialogue.  That's because I'm virtually tongue-tied, so to speak, by the sheer magnitude of this government's brazen attempt, now a fait-accompli, to destroy my country.  There's been a van parked outside my house for several days now.

The Debate has re-STARTed

“ The weaknesses of President Obama’s New START treaty with Russia are finally starting to surface in Washington. On Monday, Mitt Romney weighed in against the treaty in a Washington Post column. The former Massachusetts governor raised concerns previously aired by Amb. John Bolton (in National Review), by the Heritage Foundation’s Dr. Kim Holmes, and — in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — by former undersecretaries of state and defense Bob Joseph and Eric Edelman. ”

“ Yesterday, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), reacted with a column that, after attacking Romney personally, merely ignored or dismissed (rather than disproved) Romney’s objections. First and foremost, Romney objected to START on the grounds that it would impede America's ability to complete a global ballistic-missile-defense system. The evidence supporting this concern is overwhelming. Article Five of the treaty explicitly prohibits the conversion of former ICBM silos to the purpose of missiledefense; the Russians have publicly stated that the treaty limits America’s discretion to complete ballistic-missile defense, and the preamble of the treaty explicitly links reductions in offensive capability to reductions in defensive systems. Those who think the preamble unimportant should consider the words of Russian general Yevgeniy Buzinsky, chief of the International Treaty Directorate in the RussianDefense Ministry:   We have buried you camrades ”

Sayeth vicar Gore, "Let;s dicker."

The Two Randy Vicars Iowas Hawk=Genius

“  happened that in Washingtown-on-Beltway there once ministered to the shire folk two vicars of remarkable and resolute piety. Polite history shall record their names and peerages as the Reverend John St. Edwards, Lord Plaintiff of Durham, and the Reverend Albert des Gores II, Earl Carbonet of Greenhouse. It shall likewise note well that each man, in his fashion, was a virtuoso upon his respective pulpit. What it shan't record, however, is each man's slavish indenture to the base desires of the flesh. As every schoolboy knows, as well he does his Latin infinitives, few are those men whose breeches are immune to the Devil's disturbances. In the case of our two ill-fortuned subjects, Lucifer himself seemed to take particular delight in presenting ribald temptations and the debasing consequences that follow. Herein lies their tale. Of our first subject, the Vicar John, let us note that he overcame a birth of low station through vigorous enterprise, fine grooming, and a tongue deft in weaving tragic tales of indigence; first as a simple shire barrister and then as an ordained minister at the Abbey of Washingtown. "Brethren, in my travels I have observed that we live in two shires," he was wont to tell his rapt parishioners. "One with which you are familiar; whose roofs are handsomely thatched and in whose plump bellies rest a gluttonous supper of lamb's-pudding. Yet, and alas, there is another shire; one in which dwell the miserable wretches laid low by our sinful and unrepentant avarice. Wretches like this unfortunate filthy lad, who has not a morsel eaten in the last fortnight." Upon which he would dispatch some soiled and peckish urchin into the congregation with the offering-basket, to fetch indulgences from the weeping flock of penitents. These sermons and indulgences proved quite lucrative to Vicar John, and he soon lavished upon himself great indulgences of his own; a baronial rectory in the country-side, satin waistcoats and breeches, silver buckle pumps, the finest Italianate wigs, and a staff of haberdashers and barbers for their tending. From Huffingtown to Pandagon to ... continued ” Marc Miller

Berwick: Bigger Than Kagan

“ Barack Obama's incredible "recess appointment" of Dr. Donald Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is probably the most significant domestic-policy personnel decision in a generation. It is more important to the direction of the country than Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court. ”

Precious Diversity

“ But what Espenshade and Radford found in regard to what they call "career-oriented activities" was truly shocking even to this hardened veteran of the campus ideological and cultural wars.  Participation in such Red State activities as high school ROTC, 4-H clubs, or the Future Farmers of America was found to reduce very substantially a student's chances of gaining admission to the competitive private colleges in the NSCE database on an all-other-things-considered basis. The admissions disadvantage was greatest for those in leadership positions in these activities or those winning honors and awards. "Being an officer or winning awards" for such career-oriented activities as junior ROTC, 4-H, or Future Farmers of America, say Espenshade and Radford, "has a significantly negative association with admission outcomes at highly selective institutions." Excelling in these activities "is associated with 60 or 65 percent lower odds of admission." [Ramesh Ponnuru- . . . But Not That Kind of Diversity ] ”

The DROOL FACTOR

I  earlier referenced a largely positive Sarah Palin story (Sarah Palin in '12? Why She's for Real), by Mark Halperin no less, and alarm bells rang.  Now I think I know why, via John McCormack.  .  Public Policy Polling (PPP) , which I view as being on par with Rasmussen when it comes to accuracy, reports that right now Obama  "trails Mitt Romney 46-43, Mike Huckabee 47-45, Newt Gingrich 46-45, and is even tied with Sarah Palin at 46.."  So, what's that got to do with the price of blow?  Time's new poll has some very different numbers that make Sarah their candidate of choice. “   "Obama clobbered Palin, 55%-34%, in a hypothetical 2012 matchup that should have Democrats salivating." ” Salivating.  Isn't that just another name for drooling?  For some, drool rules.

Sarah Palin Defacto GOP Chairman? Updated

Associated Press. Within hours, the GOP’s polite race for governor of Georgia cracked wide open. Republicans are free to dispute the former Alaskan governor’s judgment when it comes to choosing a favorite in Tuesday’s primary. But they cannot question the political phenomenon that Palin has become in the otherwise dead air of a sultry primary season — especially in Republican races for governor.
